lead fades away

On the way back, Qingshi didn't tease Jiang Zhe with the change of traveling speed, and Jiang Zhe didn't have any doubts because Qingshi didn't fly the imperial weapon.Neither of the two opened their mouths to speak, but they lived in peace, and the journey was peaceful.

After entering the Unnamed Valley, Qing Shi continued to walk towards the Elder Hall on his own.Jiang Zhe obviously raised his head and looked at Qingshi a few times, as if expecting to break up with him, but he had to continue to follow behind him because of the same route.

Qing Shi didn't pay attention to it at all, and kept blocking Jiang Zhe until he passed through the front hall. Seeing that the middle courtyard and the corridor were close in front of him, Jiang Zhe could slip away at any time, then he suddenly stopped and said, "Follow me Come, let me take you to meet someone."

Jiang Zhe glanced at Qingshi hesitantly, but perhaps because he was used to being submissive, he did not say no and continued to follow behind Qingshi, allowing Qingshi to take him to the main hall, the largest of the houses in the apse .

"Is Uncle Yu here?" Qing Shi stood at the entrance of the main hall and asked pretendingly.

"Enter—" There was a quick response from inside, weak and mixed with a little impatience.

Qing Shi pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Yu Wang sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking down at a jade slip in front of him in a daze.

"Didn't you practice?" Qingshi asked casually, and at the same time glanced at the jade slip, and then heaved a sigh of relief, it was the exercise that Han Shuo gave Yu Wang, not a love letter brought in by someone.

"Just tell me what's your business." Yu Wang said without raising his head.

"I'll give you a job." Qing Shi walked up to Yu Wang and patted him on the shoulder, "Look up and look at the person."

"What the hell are you doing?" Yu Wang raised his head impatiently, glanced at Qingshi, then at Jiang Zhe who was still standing at the door, and asked with a wooden face, "Could it be that you want to make a spiritual weapon for him?"

"You can't hold anything else in your mind except the spiritual weapon?" Qingshi rolled his eyes, "The work sent by Elder Han, take care of this senior brother, let him eat and drink enough, and don't be bullied."

"Hey?!" Yu Wang turned his eyes to Jiang Zhe again, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help showing a sly smile, "Don't make fun of me, right? This kid has already built his foundation and is still full of food and drink." ? Don’t be bullied?”

"Don't be a kid, he's older than you." Qing Shi pouted, "Anyway, I entrusted him to you, if anything happens to him in the future, I'm the only one to ask—Senior Brother Jiang, Come here to pay a visit to Master Yu Wang, the deacon of our Elder Hall!"

Jiang Zhe at the door obviously hesitated, but he still walked over and silently saluted Yu Wang as a disciple.

Yu Wang put away his sly smile, looked at Jiang Zhe, then at Shi Shi, and couldn't help asking, "Is he really older than me?"

"Have I lied to you?" Qing Shi asked back.

Yu Wang fell silent, and continued to stare at Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe seemed to have gotten used to other people's strange gazes, facing Yu Wang's straightforward but harmless gaze, he didn't even move his eyelids.

Qing didn't interrupt at all, just let the two stare at each other with a smile.

After a while, Yu Wang said again, "How do I take care of it? Also, when will the equipment room over there be cleaned up?!"

"How else can I take care of it? How did you take care of the little fish's tail back then? How can you take care of him now." Qing Shi said, "As for the equipment room, when it's time to tidy up, it will be tidied up naturally. You can concentrate on practicing your skills The law is."

"I can't concentrate here at all!" Yu Wang said irritably, "I have only lived here for a few days, and there is no day without people bothering me! There was a person who came to ask for advice just now, and I don't know what they are like. What can a sword repairer ask me for!"

"Who is it?" Qing Shi couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"How do I know, I didn't let him in!" Yu Wang rolled his eyes back.

Qing Shi felt helpless, "Okay, I'll add a restriction here so that they can't disturb you."

"Now?" Yu Wang asked.

"...Now." Qing Shi curled his lips, left Jiang Zhe aside, took out the formation disk and related equipment, and got busy inside and outside the hall.

Yu Wang didn't snub Jiang Zhe like Qingshi did. After looking at him carefully for a while, he took the initiative to talk to him.

"What's your name?"

"Jiang Zhe."

"My name is Yu Wang. If you are really older than me, you can just call me by my name from now on. You don't need to be called Uncle Shi. The kid who brought you in usually calls me by my name directly."

"Ah."

"I've been living in this temple recently. If you have anything to do, come to me. I'll help if I can, but I don't need to ask for advice. I haven't learned the five-element spell very well, and you don't understand sword repair. .”

"Ah."

"Qingshi that kid said that he wants to make you eat and drink enough, and not be bullied—I can understand if you don't get bullied. There are always some boring guys in the door, who will make trouble for others when they are full and have nothing to do—but this What's the matter with eating and drinking, you haven't bigu yet?"

"Ah."

"It's strange enough for you to have built the foundation and haven't bigu yet. However, your cultivation is only at the early stage of foundation building, right? That's right, it's a bit low, and you've been in the Qi refining period for too long, and you probably can't eat enough food got used to."

"..."

"By the way, where do you live? Do you live in the palace or is there another cave outside?"

"In the hall."

"Which room?"

"West side, the innermost."

"Ah, the innermost room? I remember that it seemed very quiet there, and no one went there easily... How about we switch? You come to live with me, and I move to your side?"

"..."

Yu Wang chatted with Jiang Zhe as if talking to himself, and the more he talked, the happier he was, as if he didn't notice that Jiang Zhe was just coping with it.However, as time went on, the number of words in each sentence of Jiang Zhe gradually increased, and Qing Shi, who was listening outside the door, couldn't help having the unreasonable idea that "weird people really need to be with weird people to communicate normally".

After setting up the last restriction at the door, Qing Shi didn't enter the hall again, and directly threw the array controlling the restriction into Yu Wang's hand, "Okay, when you don't want to see people, put a spirit stone in it to activate the array." disk, as for where to put the formation disk, I don’t need to teach you, do I?”

"Is it that kind of sound-proof magic circle?" Yu Wang glanced at the circle in his hand and asked casually.

"The sound insulation is not enough. Anyway, you just don't want to be disturbed, and it's not to prevent people from coming to your place to kill and set fire." Qing Shi curled her lips and said, "You two continue to chat, I'm busy with my own business."

After finishing speaking, Qingshi left the main hall and closed the hall door.

——Continue to chat, the longer the better, it is best to forget about the little fish tail!

Qing Shi secretly laughed a few times, turned around and went to Shen Chenzhou's room.

Shen Chenzhou was not in the room, Qing Shi called the handyman in charge of the common affairs here to ask, and learned that he was trying his sword in the martial arts field in the side hall, so he turned his head and went there again.

The Martial arts arena is the same as the final venue used by Xian Chumen for the big competition in the gate every year. It is actually a room expanded with Xumi magic. There is one in each elder hall, which is specially used by the monks in the hall to practice spells.Because most of the spells are dangerous, once the martial arts arena is used by others, it will be automatically closed. If outsiders want to enter, they must first send a message to the arena with their own identity jade badge, and obtain the consent of the monks who are using the martial arts arena. to open the entrance.

Qing Shi raised his hand and pasted his identity jade badge on the gate of the side hall. It didn't take long for the door to open by itself, but before Qing Shi lifted his legs to walk in, a row of sharp weapons rushed towards him.

--Depend on!

The corner of Qing Shi's mouth twitched, but his body swayed slightly without hesitation, avoiding the hidden weapons that came suddenly but had no killing intent one by one.

The owner of the hidden weapon didn't try to chase after it, and took all these sharp and small sharp objects back into the hall if he missed a hit. Immediately afterwards, Shen Chenzhou's voice came from inside, "You are quick to react."

"Nonsense, if you react too slowly, you'll be pockmarked!" Qing Shi snorted coldly, walked into the side hall, and closed the door behind him.

There is no special arrangement in the hall, it is just a huge martial arts arena covering an area comparable to the entire Elder's Hall, the surface is also a layer of gravel, and even some vegetation is not planted.

"It's just some silver needles, it's not that serious." Shen Chenzhou smiled and stopped the "hidden weapon" that attacked Qingshi in front of him, and it turned out to be a row of shining silver needles.

"What did you realize again?" Qing Shi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's not really comprehension, I just want to try it." Shen Chenzhou replied while fiddling with the silver needle in front of him, "After all, I don't have wood-type spiritual roots, so the set of mahogany swords can only be used as a stopgap measure, and I will have to use it sooner or later. Other materials take their place."

"Ordinary silver is too soft and not suitable for making swords. You might as well try mithril." Qing Shi said, "It's just that you don't ask for extreme changes. Swords have shapes, and changes do not leave their roots. Swords have edges." Because of this, the most taboo thing in the way of swordsmanship is to forget your true heart—you can be kind, hateful, flamboyant, or graceful, but no matter what, you can’t be yourself.”

Shen Chenzhou fell silent, staring at the silver needles in front of him, thoughtful.

He waited silently for Shen Chenzhou to experience it for himself, and when he felt that the time was almost up, he stretched out his finger and shook it in front of him twice, pulling him out of his contemplation, "Think about it later, I'll come I’m not here to give you some pointers! When will your loyal servant start working, can you give me a confirmation?”

"He will come to Shanxiafang City to meet me at the beginning of every month, so even if he doesn't leave after he comes, he will have to wait for a few days." Shen Chenzhou replied.

"At the beginning of the month." Qing Shi stroked his chin, "Speaking of which, this person should be good at doing business, right?"

"The old shopkeeper at home." Shen Chenzhou raised his eyebrows.

"By the way, your surname is Shen." Qing Shi raised the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, my surname is Shen." Shen Chenzhou nodded.

The two looked at each other, and soon laughed tacitly.

"You didn't come to me just to ask this, did you?" Shen Chenzhou took the lead to put away his smile and said seriously.

"Well, I want you to do some errands to help me find out something." Qingshi nodded, "One is about the Wanwu Hall. In the past, most of the things there were made by Yu Wang, and only a few of them were your first peak disciples. It’s a masterpiece. Although Yu Wang doesn’t care about it now, when I went to Fangshi in the first ten days, I didn’t see any changes in the store. If you have time, please help me inquire and see if they have a new source of goods. "

"One, and more?" Shen Chenzhou asked.

"Find out Yu Wei's current residence, and how he gets along with Lu Siyuan's Miss Sun. Is it really as close as Yu Wang said? It's best to find out how he came to worship under Lu Siyuan's seat. That Miss Sun still has someone else." Qing Shi continued, "Elder Han has been watching me closely lately, it's inconvenient for me to go out, so I can only ask you."

"Watching you closely? What does this mean?" Shen Chenzhou immediately raised his eyebrows.

"It wasn't because of Zha Sufang and Ximen Hao's quarrel a while ago." Qing Shi snorted coldly.

"...Do you have to leave half of what you said?" Shen Chenzhou gritted his teeth.

Qing Shi pouted, looked left and right, whispered in Shen Chenzhou's ear, and pretended to be mysterious, "Actually, I not only heard that Ximen Hao asked Su Fang to plot against you, I also heard that Su Fang and his other friends An adulterer... ahem."

Qing Shi raised his hand and made a copulating gesture.

Shen Chenzhou rolled his eyes at Qingshi, but his heart changed immediately, and he asked in surprise, "That adulterer of his has nothing to do with Yu Wei, right?"

"Lu Siyuan." Qing Shi said softly, "And Lu Siyuan's great apprentice, He Xun, three of us."

Shen Chenzhou immediately widened his eyes, "True or not?!"

"I'm so full that I made up such things to scare you?" Qing Shi snorted coldly, briefly told Lu Siyuan's bad deeds, and then said, "This matter, come out of my mouth and into your ears, don't let it happen again." The third person knows, especially Yu Wang!"

"Of course." Shen Chenzhou immediately figured out the joints, nodded and said, "If Yu Wang knows this, he must run to force Yu Wei to sever the relationship between master and apprentice."

"Not only can't let him know, but also make him don't want to know at all." Qing Shi said, "I just sent Yu Wang a new partner, and we get along pretty well so far, I guess he won't be in the mood in a short time Go and think about Yu Wei."

Shen Chenzhou couldn't help but a black line appeared, "Who did you send?"

"Jiang Zhe, the one who entered the palace just like you, the one who is thin and short." Qingshi said with a smirk on his face, "The talent is not good either. He just established his foundation when he was over 100 years old, and he is often bullied by other disciples. It is more painful than Yu Wei."

Shen Chenzhou was speechless, and after a while he sighed, "Just mess around."

"One who is loved by no one, and one who wants to love others, what a pair!" Qing Shi exclaimed exaggeratedly, as if he had done a great good deed.

"Good size!" Shen Chenzhou couldn't bear it and slapped Qing Shi on the head.

"Hey, I can't explain it to a young child like you." He turned his head away contemptuously.

"It seems that someone is 'younger' than me!" Shen Chenzhou sneered with a pun.

"You're nothing but a big, black and thick silver-like wax gun head." Qing Shi immediately counterattacked mercilessly.

"Damn!" Shen Chenzhou was annoyed, flipped out the row of silver needles, and shot at Qingshi.

Qing Shi dodges, and Shen Chenzhou pursues relentlessly.Qing didn't even fight back, and continued to provoke with words while dodging.

Shen Chenzhou started bickering back and forth with him, but he soon lost his spiritual power, so he could only keep his mouth shut and concentrate on manipulating the silver needle, but even so, he still couldn't even touch the edge of Qing Shi's clothes.

After a while, Shen Chenzhou, who was about to run out of spiritual power, gave up on his own initiative, took back the silver needle, leaned back, and lay panting on the sandy ground of the martial arts arena.

"You are really a monkey than a monkey!" Shen Chenzhou cursed unwillingly.

"Thank you for the compliment, I'll take it as a compliment." Qing Shi strolled to Shen Shenzhou's side without blushing and panting, and said proudly, "Now you know how tender you are?"

"Go away!" Shen Chenzhou rolled his eyes, "Next time I will change my sword and attack you, let's see if you can hide so smoothly!"

"Hey, you also understand that silver needles are light and difficult to control?" Qing Shi smiled with narrowed eyes.

Shen Chenzhou snorted coldly and did not refute.

"Okay, think about it slowly, I won't accompany you." Qing Shi shrugged, turned and walked towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.

"Qingshi—" Shen Chenzhou opened his mouth to stop him, "Come with me to meet my loyal servant at the beginning of next month!"

"Go when you're free." Qingshi waved his hands without looking back, pushed the door and walked out.

Although Qing Shi dumped Jiang Zhe's burden on Yu Wang, he went over to say hello to Ding Hu in person, gave him a sum of spirit stones, asked him to prepare food for Jiang Zhe according to his appetite and preferences, and let him He kept a close eye on Taniguchi, refused all idlers to enter, and must notify himself as soon as possible if there is an accident.Then, Qingshi turned around and went to the basement at the north corner of the valley.

It doesn't take much time to re-arrange the equipment room. Most of the things are ready-made, and they are all in the light storage ring. You only need to arrange them step by step.But Qingshi didn't want Yu Wang to go back to the basement to continue working as a mouse for the time being, so he kept dragging, turning around every day, as if he was very busy with his heart, but in fact he just turned around.

Qing Shi counted the time and felt that the sound card hidden in Ximen Hao's shoes should be absorbed to the limit, so he said hello to Han Shuo, chose a dark and windy night for a month, and touched Ximen Hao's again. courtyard.

There was no abnormal change in the yard. Qing Shi once again tricked the dogs' noses with the deodorant powder, and remembering the previous experience, he reinserted the door bolt that had been opened, and then lightly Into the bedroom.

Ximen Hao was sleeping deeply on the bed, Qingshi didn't dare to look at him distractedly, and reached out to touch the shoes on the ground, but at the moment of reaching out, Qingshi suddenly felt that something was wrong, very wrong.

——By the way, Ximen Hao's breath was too heavy, as if he had fallen asleep!

——But how could a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage sleep so deeply!

Qing Shi's outstretched hand couldn't help but hesitate, and before he had time to think about it, a contemptuous male voice sounded in his ear, "You're not timid, dare to come again?"

--Oops!

Qingshi didn't know whether Ximen Hao used a secret method to disguise himself as a sleeping person, or if someone else was actually speaking, but at this time, how could he think too much, before he had time to consider whether this person had seen his appearance, Qing Shi grabbed the shoes on the ground, then put his feet on the ground, and threw himself towards the window lattice, trying to grab the window and walk away.

"Stay!" Following the cold reprimand, a surge of water-type spiritual power also slammed towards Qingshi.

- Nascent Soul? !

Qing Shi was shocked in his heart, but his body reacted immediately, he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to protect his whole body, and while taking the blow, he also used this force to smash the window lattice and flew outside the house.
