The grid boss fucks his old business
Work related
Immediately nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ling Xi! I will definitely come to you!"
Three years ago, Mu Qi would never have imagined that one day he would be able to sit and chat with Wang Mo, discussing when to make an appointment, this is a very happy thing.
"We also have a fortune-telling friendship. Don't call him Mr. Ling Xi. It's too good-for-nothing. You can just call me Ling Xi. I also have a younger brother named Wang Zaixing. He can play a lot of tricks. When we meet him, we The three get together." Ling Xi smiled, and patted Mu Xi's shoulder casually, making Mu Xi a good brother.
"Patriarch Wang?" Mu Qi had a little impression that Zhao Rong'an passed the sound transmission talisman with him when he was in Linxu Mountain.
Ling Xi nodded and said: "It's him. Before he was the head of the family, he was too skinny. My father couldn't control him, so my uncle just let him go. He said that he can follow his father's personality. It's good. .”
Mu Qi blinked and sighed, "He's really an interesting person."
Ling Xi was a little cold by nature, but when he saw Mu Qi today, he talked a lot, with a sense of intimacy that even he himself couldn't describe well.Although he and Mu Qi have known each other for a long time, they don't meet many times. These were originally family matters, but he talked about them without any burden, unknowingly treating each other as his own.
There was a happy chat here, and there were waiters who came to look for Ling Xi.
"Young Master, Patriarch Wang is here, Patriarch invites you to the Hall of Divine Enlightenment"
Ling Xi collected his emotions, stood up, said goodbye to Mu Qi and left.Only then did Mu Qi notice that Ling Xi was wearing a formal robe today, with Ling's totem Steppenwolf embroidered on the dark purple clothes, he should have important things to do today.
Ling Xi didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly came to the majestic Hall of Divine Enlightenment by using spells.
Ling Xi walked up the steps of the hall step by step. The door of the hall was opened wide for him. Inside the hall was spread a long golden carpet, hung a pale purple curtain, lit an amethyst furnace, and lit incense.Ling Chu wore a purple and gold animal-pattern robe and sat on a golden high seat. Under the seat was Ling Zhan, the deputy head of the family, and Wang Zai, the acting head of the Wang family.
It is the tradition of the Ling family to enter the Hall of Divine Enlightenment for formal discussions when major decisions are made. The Hall of Divine Enlightenment is the core of the Ling family and has the strongest defensive formation in the entire world of cultivating immortals. It will never be disturbed or monitored by the outside world.
As soon as Ling Chu entered, the main entrance of the main hall was closed immediately, and the twelve yellow spar lamps in the hall illuminated the magnificent inner room.
It was rare for Ling Chu to sit upright without crossing his legs. He took out a letter and passed it in front of Ling Xi.Ling Xi caught it and saw that it said:
My friend Ling Chu:
I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much.Knowing that Shenling City opened the Wanfa Pavilion trial, I specially sent the right minister Zhuang Shijun and the elder Feng Pingyuan to come, hoping to benefit from each other and increase the friendship between the two families.
Inexhaustible
This letter paper is written in wild and impolite manner.And Ling Xi knew that the person who wrote this letter was a lunatic himself.
Ling Xi had just finished reading it, and before he could express his opinion, he heard Ling Chu on the throne sneer and say, "Shi Bian Xu is responding to my declaration of war."
How much attention was paid to understanding each other back then, and how much hatred and hatred there is now.Before that, Ling Chu set up a large fireworks array in Luyang Town, wiped out Shibuli's confidant brigade, and seriously injured Qianshanxue, which was to declare war on the opponent.After waiting for so long, Shi Buxuan finally responded, and the grievances and grievances after 20 years finally came to an end.
The snow mountain founded by the family is called "Tianmen" because they claim to have seen the gate of heaven.They study medicine and poison, thinking they can control life and death in the world, and they look down on all sects of cultivating immortals.
"The Gate of the Way of Heaven..." Ling Chu read these four words, wanting to be crushed by it.
76. Fog
As Ling Chu's anger rose, the atmosphere in the Hall of Divine Enlightenment became more and more silent. Seeing the Patriarch's anger, the three people in the audience dared not speak.
Ling Chu was usually playful and wanton, and he seemed to be indifferent to everything.But when he was really angry, the depressing and shocking aura made people tremble.
Although Ling Xi and Wang Zaixing are juniors, they both hold high positions, and they are usually the overlords of the party who obey their words. Now they dare not speak out, and just wait silently for Ling Chu to speak later.
Ling Zhan saw that his brother was substituted into the old hatred from 20 years ago because of a letter from the world.Although Ling Zhan has confidence in Ling Chu, since he saw Ling Chu almost collapsed 20 years ago, he was still afraid that his mind would be affected, and even more afraid that he would make too radical decisions, so he quickly interrupted his emotions and said: "Patriarch, Wuyou has come to report that the members of Tianmen have arrived at Shenling Outer City, whether to carry out the next plan."
As soon as Ling Zhan's words came out, Ling Chu's emotions calmed down, he leaned back on the back of the chair, half-closed his eyes, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Ling Zhan not only sighed with emotion, but after all these years, Shi Buxun still understands very well what can most affect Ling Chu's emotions.
Over the years, Shi has continued to let his subordinates recruit more disciples, and let Tianmen disciples enter the world to practice medicine. Today, Tianmen sect has integrated into all levels of the world of cultivating immortals, and it is no longer easy to turn their faces into enemies.
Feng Pingyuan and Zhuang Shijun came as the world's inexhaustible messengers. In accordance with the morality of the world of cultivating immortals, Ling Chu could not hurt them in the slightest.
A piece of letter paper that Shi Shi kept understating, telling Ling Chu who sent him, this is a defiant challenge.
And the world keeps calling Ling Chu "my friend", which is to remind Ling Chu that it was because of Ling Chu's wrong belief that he was able to complete most of his plans so smoothly, and even almost succeeded.
Ling Chu quickly adjusted his emotions completely. He understood that the Wanfa Pavilion was about to advance, and the most important thing right now was the deployment of the situation.
"Xi'er, Shenling Inner City, what's the situation now?"
Ling Xi replied: "Everything is as usual in the inner city of Shenling City. All the monks who arrived stayed at the guest post in the outer city, and no one was allowed to enter the inner city."
"Come on, how is Linxu Guanghan now?"
Wang Zaixing had never seen his uncle so unsmiling, he couldn't help but become serious, the fan in his hand stopped spinning, and he held it honestly, and reported rigorously and meticulously: "A few dead puppets were also found in Guanghan City later, But they were all easily eliminated. After the first wave of puppets, there were almost no abnormalities. I launched a large underground palace search array during the period, and there was no death in the range of the Linxu Mountains, which is very strange."
In the end, Wang Zaixing concluded: "Uncle, from the current point of view, I think that Shi Buxuan is only harassing Guanghan City, and will not really pose a threat. His intention should be Shenling."
Ling Chu listened to the reports of the three and pondered the current situation carefully.
Now Shi Bu has no idea how much combat power Ling Chu has, Ling Chu also doesn't know how many hole cards Shi Bu has hidden, both of them are probing, intending to find each other's weaknesses.
Ling Chu thought carefully about Shi Buxue's letter, and said: "Shi Buxue's letter said that the people sent here are Feng Pingyuan, a master poisoner, and Zhuang Shijun, a puppet maker. What is the individual planning to do?"
As soon as Ling Zhan heard about Feng Pingyuan, he immediately said: "Feng Pingyuan was the one who seriously injured Xi'er three years ago. After that, Shen Ling has been declaring that Ling Xi is in retreat. I guess they came this time, is it It is also intended to confirm Xi'er's life and death."
Ling Chu nodded and said: "Brother Zhan is right. We used the name of Xi'er to hold the trial of Wanfa Pavilion this time. We originally planned to take the opportunity to find out who made Xi'er a puppet. Now this issue has been resolved." If you solve it, you don’t need to be afraid of the endless temptations of the world, I’m afraid they have other intentions to hurt people.”
Ling Xi cared about another person, he said, "Patriarch, Feng Pingyuan's poison technique has stricter restrictions, I think this Zhuang Shijun is more threatening."
When Ling Chu heard this, he lifted his spirits and asked Ling Xi to explain in detail.
Ling Xi recalled the battles in the past, and said: "I have fought this Zhuang Shijun more than once, but I have never come into contact with him personally. I will always face his puppet."
Ling Chu nodded and said: "You said this in the previous battle report, I remember."
Ling Xi also said: "Mr. Zhuang Shi is elusive and hard to distinguish between truth and reality. I almost fell into his way several times. This time, there are so many visions. I am afraid that he is the one who is laying out the layout at the gate of heaven."
'It's elusive, it's hard to tell the truth from the truth...' Ling Chu thought about it, and guessed: "Shenling City is full of vitality, and the death energy retreats when encountering it, so if the world is inexhaustible, it is simply using the vitality monks, is it enough to get involved in it. "
Ling Zhan's spirit was shaken, and he immediately answered: "It is very possible! There are many living monks in Tianmen. They adhere to the concept of medical skills to help the world, and they continue to win reputation for the world. There are also many followers who have saved their lives."
Ling Chu squinted his eyes and touched his chin, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhan, you are in charge of the reception work in the outer city of Shenling. For Ling Xi, just say that he has left the customs, and don't make any other indications. Xi'er is in charge of the inner city of Shenling. City defense affairs, if you encounter any hidden dangers, you are allowed to execute them on the spot. As for the next step, you have just recovered, you should assist him in defense work first."
"Yes!" Everyone saluted and accepted the order.
In the evening, a guest came to Chengshi Pavilion, it was Zhao Rong'an who was worried that Mu Qi would live alone.
Zhao Rongan knocked on Mu Qi's room door, put the bookcase on Mu Qi's desk, and said, "These are the sword manuals compiled by Ling Xi for you. I met him on the way here, and I planned to come here together. Halfway He was called by Ling Chu to discuss matters again, please let me bring it to you."
Mu Qi was very moved when he heard that, he looked through the sword manuals, and found that they were all pure swordsmanship skills, which were suitable for him to practice, and the selection of the sword manuals was done with care, so he couldn't help being flattered.
Zhao Rongan liked Mu Qi's humility and politeness very much, and he also shared his views on swordsmanship by the way.
When Mu Xi talked with him, he was amazed.When we first met, Zhao Rong'an gave him the feeling that he was a little dumbfounded, but the kindness emanating from his heart was irresistible.Every time I saw him later, he changed a lot. Gradually, he changed from a kind brother to a gentle elder.
Zhao Rongan thinks that swordsmanship is not his best skill, but even so, Mu Qi, as a self-taught junior, is far inferior to Zhao Rongan in terms of cultivation and knowledge of techniques.The image of Zhao Rong'an in his heart has become taller and more powerful.
The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door. After three knocks, Wang Zaixing in white came out with his head stuck out, and shouted in a long voice at the door: "Uncle Zhao~Xiao Muqi~"
Seeing him, Zhao Rongan laughed and said, "Why haven't you been arrested by Ling Chu to work?"
Wang Zaixing unfolded the fan, twirled it twice with his fingertips, raised his head and said, "Brother Xi is familiar with the defense of Shenling City, I am a guest after all~ Uncle, why would I be too tired~"
"naughty."
Wang Zaixing was not restrained, walked over in two or three steps, opened the chair, sat down and said with a smile: "Okay~ Actually, uncle asked me to ask Brother Mu if he could draw the puppet formation he used earlier."
Mu Qi had never met this person before, so he didn't know if he could draw a formation for him, so he didn't agree immediately.But he felt that this familiar style was very much like Patriarch Lingchu.
It was only then that Wang Zaixing realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet. He rolled his eyes and put on a bright smile and said, "My name is Wang Zaixing, and I'm Ling Xi's younger brother."
It was the first time Mu Qi met the head of the Wang family, and he felt that he was just as Ling Xi said, a casual and lively person.
Wang Zaixing covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Xiao Muqi, don't be too restrained. I also want to see the difference between your puppet formation and the living puppet formation. Just listening to it makes me really curious."
Mu Qi took a pen and paper and demonstrated it to Wang Zaixing.
Wang Zaixing was overjoyed to see the finished product, so he hurriedly asked Mu Qi if he knew other puppet formations, Mu Qi drew them one by one, and Wang Zaixing studied them seriously.
"Huh?" Wang Zaixing suddenly wondered, "Why do these formations look like sword formations?"
Mu Qi raised his head suddenly, with a blank expression on his face, and Zhao Rongan also looked over.
The sword array is used by the senior management of Cangqi Mountain Villa. Most of them choose qualified disciples to train and train them to cooperate with the formation. Therefore, Mu Qi rarely sees it. But three years ago, he was trapped and injured by the Seven Swords Array. I still remember What that formation looks like.
He hastily drew the Seven Swords Formation three years ago for Wang Zaixing to see. He couldn't remember everything, so he could only draw an outline, but Wang Zaixing, as a formation master, could tell it was the Cangqi Sword Formation at a glance.
In the earliest days of cultivating immortals, only the Wang family studied formations, and in the later period, the formations of all factions were converted from the Wang family's formations.In the past 200 years, the Wang family formation has developed rapidly. Cangqi Villa once sent disciples to ask for advice, and then developed the current Cangqi Sword Formation.
The direct disciples of the Wang family must familiarize themselves with all the types and branches of formations before leaving their teachers. Therefore, the disciples of the Wang family may not be able to understand the Cangqi sword formation very well, but it is more than enough.
Wang Zaixing finally knew the purpose of his uncle asking him to see Mu Qi's puppet formation.The puppet array that Mu Qi knew came from the Jiehai Building in Cangqi Villa. Judging from the current situation, the puppet array in Cangqi Villa is quite different from the known puppet array in the Wang family, and the formation rules follow the sword array. It is very likely that it was made by the senior management of Cangqi Villa.
Even though the matter of Ling Xi three years ago, it can be inferred that Shi Bujiu has some connection with Cangqi Villa, but it is very difficult to confirm that the inner ghost in the world of cultivating immortals comes from the high-level Cangqi.
Wang Zaixing felt that it was a genius who changed the sword formation into a puppet formation, and even wanted to make friends and exchange experience on formation techniques.Suddenly, I remembered that that person should belong to the enemy, and felt a little pity.She only showed her cuteness to Mu Qi with a shy face, "Whether I can take these formations or not is a very important matter, and I have to study it carefully."
Of course Mu Qi agreed, saying that if Wang Zaixing couldn't understand, he could come to him again.
Wang Zaixing was so moved that he didn't want to, and even began to care about Mu Qi's daily life: "Speaking of which, it's not a problem for Xiao Mu Qi to live here. How can he be comfortable in such a simple and simple house? Brother Xi's house is big, so let him live in the house every other day." Make a room that is shielded from breathing, and you can live with him."
Mu Qi quickly said that there is no need to bother.
Zhao Rongan couldn't stand listening to it, and said, "Mu Qi is the same age as you, and you're taking advantage of others."
Wang Zaixing pretended he hadn't heard it, grabbed the formation map on the table, and said goodbye with a smile: "Uncle Zhao~Xiao Muqi~ See you later~"
77. Nine Flames
Wang Zaixing is a lively activist. He made suggestions on the first day and implemented them himself the next day.He personally set up an isolation formation in Ling Xi's side room, and asked the servants of Shenling City to move a lot of daily necessities inside.
When Ling Chu was looking for his nephew, he saw someone walking inside carrying the washstand.The furnishings of Ling Xi's house are simple, and generally no additions are made when no one is staying.
"Yo, Xi'er, who wants to live with you?"
As soon as Ling Chu entered the door, he teased his nephew with a smile.
Ling Xi bowed to his uncle, and replied: "It's Mu Xi who is moving in, and he's making preparations."
While Ling Xi was talking here, Wang Zaixing heard that Ling Chu had arrived, so he ran over in a hurry, and he could be heard shouting from a distance: "Uncle, you are here today too~"
Ling Chu narrowed his eyes and jokingly said, "I asked you to ask Mu Qi for advice and study the puppet array, how did you get everyone here? Do you think it's too far to go to Chengshi Pavilion every day?"
It turned out that every time Wang Zaixing came to Shenling City, he lived in Lingxi Residence, and Lingchu was teasing him for being lazy.
Wang Zaixing covered his mouth with a fan, and pretended to be wronged: "Nephew, don't you worry that Xiao Mu's living conditions are not good? The visitor is a guest, so please treat him well. Besides, anyone who goes there every day, except me Is there Uncle Zhao? He moved here, and Uncle Zhao also ran closer, so you don’t have to go all the way to find someone, Uncle.”
Ling Chu laughed, and said, "Why did you say that I was here at the end, so naughty!"
Seeing his younger brother being so lively, Ling Xi couldn't help laughing.
"Stop making trouble, how is the situation recently?" After the gag, Ling Chu became serious.
Ling Xi and Wang Zaixing reported the situation of Shen Ling one by one, saying that the current situation is as usual.
"All kinds of formations and techniques in the inner city are properly arranged, and some important roads are not allowed to pass except for direct disciples." Ling Xi said.
"I have analyzed the formation provided by Xiao Muqi here, and I am comparing it with the sword formation diagram left by Linxu and Cangqi in the past. Wuyou went to Cangqi to investigate the list of their disciples who have held the formation for nearly 200 years. After returning Further screening can be carried out.”
Ling Chu nodded and said: "Well done, it depends on what kind of tricky angle Shi Zong will use to attack on the day of the trial."
The test of Wanfa Pavilion was Shi Nong's response to Ling Chu's declaration of war, and it was also a situation where Ling Chu tried Shi Nong.For so many years, Shi Zong has been dormant in the dark, Ling Chu wanted to see to what extent the other party's penetration power had reached.
Things were too complicated, after Ling Chu left "Lingxi", he stayed in the Hall of Divine Enlightenment for a whole day, and when he returned to the Hall of Nameless at night, he met a maid in the hall.
"Has Master Zhao come back?" Ling Chu asked with a smile.
The maid returned with a smile and said, "Patriarch, Mr. Zezhi just came back, and I'm going to prepare dinner."
Ling Chu nodded and let her go.
Ling Chu was very puzzled, since Mu Qi came to Shenling City, Zhao Rongan went to him almost every day.At first Ling Chu thought it was because he was too busy recently, and Zhao Rongan was bored by himself and wanted to talk to someone.But later he discovered that even if Zhao Rong'an didn't talk to Mu Qi, he would go to Junzi's Residence alone for a while. Except for resting at night, he always didn't want to stay in Wuming Hall.
why?
The main door of the Unnamed Hall was open, and there was no breath inside.It stands to reason that Zhao Rong'an's strength has recovered nearly half during this time, if he does not restrain himself deliberately, he should be able to feel his anger when he is close to the Hall of No Names.
Ling Chu frowned and ran in, only to find Zhao Rongan lying on the ground in pajamas.
Ling Chu was startled, and immediately stepped forward to pick him up. He checked Zhao Rongan's breath and found that his breath was disordered, so he immediately used techniques to assist his return.Half an hour later, Zhao Rongan woke up.
Ling Chu sensed that Zhao Rong'an's soul was unstable, so he asked the maid to boil Huanglancao, and he helped him to rest on the soft couch. At this time, Zhao Rong'an's face improved a lot, and Ling Chu finally felt relieved.
"Where else are you uncomfortable?"
Zhao Rongan shook his head and said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable now, so don't worry."
"Is this the first time you fainted?"
Zhao Rongan shook his head: "No, but it's not a big problem, and he can wake up soon."
Ling Chu expressed his anger: "You should have said it earlier!"
Zhao Rongan was a little embarrassed and said: "You are too busy and don't want to disturb you."
Ling Chu sighed, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Did you faint in the Unnamed Hall?"
Zhao Rong'an thought about it carefully, and said: "You seem to be right when you mention it like this. And when I stay in the Hall of Namelessness, I tend to get dizzy."
"So you've been running elsewhere all this time because of this?"
Zhao Rongan thought about it for a while, and it seemed to make sense.
'It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. The defense of the Unnamed Hall is second only to the Divine Enlightenment Hall, so no one can hurt it. Ling Chu thought about it and asked, "When did your situation start?"
Zhao Rong'an reported an approximate date, and when Ling Chu heard it, he suddenly realized.He walked to the side of the bed, opened the storage cabinet under the bed, and took out a black short knife, which was the one he had been wearing before.
"Jiuyan? Why are you here?"
Ling Chu handed the knife to Zhao Rong'an and said, "You live here, and I'm always away. Lord Jiuyan, I put it here just in case. Then, I wonder if it's because of Jiuyan that you are dizzy?" of?"
Jiuyan?Zhao Rongan took it with nostalgia, and felt a burst of warmth as soon as he took it, his head was groggy, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Seeing this, Ling Chu quickly pulled Jiu Yan back, and Zhao Rongan woke up.
"Is your last sealed memory related to Jiu Yan?" Ling Chu guessed.
"Probably, but when I touched Jiuyan, I didn't have any new memory images, maybe it's just one of the conditions."
This time the problem got stuck again, Ling Chu looked at his saber, circulated his breath, the short knife turned into a long sword, and the golden flame flowed around the sword body, this is the complete form of Jiuyan.
"So, do you remember anything?"
Zhao Rongan looked at the golden flames for a long time, but still shook his head.
Ling Chu sighed, and planned to put Jiu Yan away and study it later.At this moment, Jiu Yan suddenly broke free from his master's hand and flew up, circled behind Ling Chu, and slashed at Ling Chu from a strange angle.
Ling Chu frowned, thinking that Jiu Yan was out of control, but Jiu Yan didn't show any murderous intent, and kept repeating the action of cutting towards Ling Chu.
"This action is like cutting with a sickle..." Zhao Rong'an said unconsciously, and then Ling Chu Zhao Rong'an was shocked: Jiu Yan was imitating the scene where Ling Chu was hacked to death by a sickle in Stranger Things.
Seeing that the two people finally understood its prompt, Jiu Yan happily spun around twice, changed back to the short knife state, and returned to the owner's hand.
Jiuyan can't speak, but it has memory. Ling Chu looked at Aidao silently, recalled the scene more than 20 years ago, and guessed the hint given by Jiuyan.
"Rebirth." Ling Chu thought of this word.
Zhao Rongan was startled when he heard that, thinking of the scene where he and Jiu Yan pulled Ling Chu back from the ghost gate together, his head burst into pain for a while.
Jiuyan has the power to assist people in rebirth. When Zhao Rongan died 20 years ago, Jiuyan might have been there.
Zhao Rong'an rolled into a ball in pain, his beautiful facial features wrinkled together, Ling Chu was so distressed that he immediately cast a spell.At this time, the maid came in with the boiled Huanglancao, and Ling Chu brought it to Zhao Rongan to feed it bit by bit.It took a long time for the other party to slow down.
The pain made Zhao Rong'an break out in a cold sweat, and he had no strength at all.
Ling Chu condensed the water with a technique, and wiped Zhao Rongan's body. The maid was frightened by the scene in front of her, and hurriedly helped Ling Chu move.After several tosses, it was finally over.
Ling Chu fell silent while watching Zhao Rongan who had fallen asleep.
'Jiuyan has spent hundreds of years in the territory of Dujiange and is closely related to it.This time, the Cheng family will also send people to the trial of Wanfa Pavilion, and they have to find a way to collect some information about Jiuyan. 'Ling Chu was thinking like this.
78. Welcome
When Mu Qi woke up, the sun was already high and the bed was too soft, so he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.The blue-gray veil was half-closed, and there was still the lingering fragrance of calming spirits lit by the waiter last night in the room. It was the first time in Mu Qi's life to stay in such a luxurious room.
Looking at the time, Mu Xi couldn't help sighing, "No wonder it's easy to be extravagant, but difficult to be simple."It's only been a day's work, and I'm already greedy for warmth and comfort, and I can't even get up early, and I must never do this in the future. '
As if sensing that the people in the house woke up, someone knocked on the door immediately.
Mu Qi hurriedly tidied up his clothes and knocked on the door. He saw a straw puppet standing at the door, dressed as a servant and holding a water basin.
"Hong...Miss Hong." It was this straw puppet who came to serve him last night, which made Mu Qi feel flattered.
This straw puppet is Xiao Hong, one of the two puppet puppet Ling Chu made. Ling Chu considered that Mu Qi is a dead monk after all, and it is not convenient for him to get along with other monks or attendants intimately, so he let Xiao Hong and Da Zhuang is here.
Xiaohong couldn't speak, so she just put the basin on the sink, put on a water congealing talisman and started to drain the water, and put on a warming talisman while draining the water, and after a while, the basin was filled with hot water.
Xiao Hong pulled the soft towel and handed it to Mu Xi, who took it with both hands and washed it carefully.After washing up, Xiao Hong pulled Mu Xi to sit in front of the dressing table, and took a comb to comb his hair.
When the comb touched the hair, Mu Qi couldn't help dodging.He saw his white hair hanging down, and he didn't dare to look at Xiaohong in the mirror. Even though he knew that she was just a puppet, he was worried and feared.
Xiaohong can't perceive human emotions, she conscientiously tied Mu Qi's hair without any distracting thoughts, this usual reaction made Mu Qi calm down, and she no longer dodged.
Everything was ready, Xiaohong left the room with the basin in her hand, closed the door and left.Mu Qi looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a set of ordinary prince's clothes, with white hair and clean face, and his mood was never before at ease and peace.
"Xiaohong said you finished washing up, can I come in?"
Ling Xi knocked on the door, and Mu Qi quickly went to meet him.
Seeing Mu Qi who opened the door with a clean and gentle look, Ling Xi softened his tone unconsciously, and said, "I'll take you to the outer city."
It turned out that Ling Chu felt that Mu Xi practiced death energy and might be more sensitive to death energy monks than ordinary people, so he asked Mu Xi to disguise himself and mix with the casual practitioners who came to participate in the trial, together with the participants.
Ling Xi was arranged not to show up to the public for the time being, so Ling Xi came to perform illusions for Mu Qi and took him to participate in the trial.
"I'm ready to start anytime."
Ling Xi took Mu Xi's hand and held it in both hands, a formation slowly formed in Mu Xi's palm.
Mu Qi's hand was grabbed by Ling Xi, and his heart couldn't help beating fast.Today Ling Xi didn't wear Ling's formal attire, but casually put on a gray and white long gown, making him look slender and handsome.He looked down at his palms, his eyelashes drooped, covering his blue eyes, Mu Qi was dumbfounded, and didn't care when the formation was completed.
"All right."
With Ling Xi's reminder, Mu Qi came back to his senses, looked in the mirror, and saw that he had changed his usual appearance, and his white hair had also turned blue.
Mu Xi exclaimed, "What a powerful illusion!"
Ling Xi carefully analyzed the feasibility, and then said: "If you want to learn, I will teach you."
Mu Xi suddenly felt spoiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "...OK"
Ling Xi led Mu Qi out from the side gate of the inner city of Shenling, and arrived at the market in the outer city, where the disciples of the Ling family had long been waiting to meet him.After Ling Xi finished explaining everything, he was about to return to Shenling's inner city.
When parting, Ling Xi was still not at ease, and said to Mu Xi: "My father presides over the trials in the outer city, you don't need to be nervous, I've already covered up your death, they won't be able to see it."
Mu Qi thought that Ling Xi was worried that he would be exposed, or that he had missed the task, so he immediately nodded and assured: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it well."
Ling Xi knew that Mu Qi had misunderstood concern, so he was not in a hurry to explain. He gave Mu Xi his badge and said, "The other party doesn't know what method they will use. Use this to call me when necessary."
It was not early, Mu Qi left quickly, he was reluctant to part with Ling Xi, and looked back frequently.
Ling Xi thought that the other party was afraid that he would be surrounded by a large group of living monks, so he smiled to comfort him from a distance.Ling Xi is not good at expressing emotions, and this smile is not very pretty, but in Mu Xi's eyes, this smile becomes the brightest sun and the best reassurance.
The outer city of Shenling had already made preparations for this trial. Along the way, you could see disciples of the Ling family patrolling. They were dressed in purple attire, neat and holy, and attracted many people from the outer city to watch.
The merchants on the street are all shouting, selling the special products of Ling's territory. Many foreign casual cultivators and monks from other sects are coming to Shenling City for the first time, and they linger in the market and official roads to buy.
The slogans on the street and the open teleportation formations everywhere declared the prosperity of the city.Mu Qi didn't stop in the outer city in a hurry when he came, but now he is dumbfounded.In the sky of Shenling City, there is a living and bright light flowing. This is really a treasure land favored by the gods.
Not long after, Mu Qi came to a large square. One side of the square was filled with a whole row of cyan crystals, there were probably hundreds of them. They were tools for testing cultivation. Just brush it off, and at the same time, it can also detect dead monks.
There are too many people here, and the leading disciple can't take him in again. He pointed to the first cyan spar and motioned him to go there for a test.
The first spar was the closest to the high platform of the square, Mu Qi saw Ling Zhan sitting there on the platform, and there were several other sects around him.Feng Pingyuan, who was wearing a red dress, was particularly eye-catching. He naturally and generously sat beside Ling Zhan, smiling profusely.And Feng Pingyuan was surrounded by Mr. Zhuang, who was very talkative, and the Cheng family whom he met in Yizhou.
And there was another son, elegant in Tsing Yi, with quick eyes, it was Mu Shouyi whom Mu Qi hadn't seen for a long time, and he came in place of his senior brother Mu Shoubie.
'It turns out that the people from the five sects have all met each other a long time ago. Mu Qi didn't dare to look any further, and went straight to the first cyan spar, and handed over his registration sign.The disciple who was doing the work saw that it said Sanxiu Meng Qi.
Although there are many casual practitioners, but the basic cultivation level is not high, the root is not good, and there are very few people who pass the test, so the disciples who handle the affairs don't take this Meng Qi too seriously, and the introduction is not very careful.
Mu Xi knew how to operate the spar, and didn't care about the attitude of his disciples. He directly put the hand that Ling Xi had set up on the cyan spar, and input his own death energy, and the cyan spar showed a strong vitality. sign.
"Oh, you casual cultivator, you have a good foundation." The disciple in charge was a little surprised. He had been busy all morning, and there were only a handful of casual cultivators who could meet the Ling family's requirements for accepting disciples. This Meng Qi passed .
Mu Qi's nameplate was engraved with a pass mark, and the disciples of the office instructed him to go to the rest area behind the square and wait for the next trial.
At this moment, Ling Zhan glanced at Mu Qi's place in a vague way, and then continued to deal with the other sects of cultivating immortals.
"This Wanfa Pavilion test, since my Ling family said that it is open to the entire world of cultivating immortals, it naturally covers a wider area and many people come. It is a great honor for you to come to my God Ling City, but in order to show fairness , and please cooperate, and pass through the level with other testers."
Ling Zhan made the request gently and politely, his eyes swept across the audience, looking at everyone's expressions.
Unexpectedly, Feng Pingyuan was the first one to agree. He said with a smile: "That's natural. Our Tianmen is here to join in the fun this time. It's our Zhuang Youcheng. Quickly bring the test stone and let him test it. I am Those who come to watch the fun, don’t follow along.”
When Cangqi Villa and Dujiange heard this, they also agreed.They were just representatives of the sect, and they went to the countryside to participate in the trial as the custom did, which was originally a good thing they had agreed upon when they came here.
Ling Zhan waved his sleeves, and someone came up with a bluestone. Tianmen Zhuang Shijun didn't say a word, and he measured it when he came up, showing his profound cultivation.Ling Zhan looked as usual, but he was thinking in his heart, "It has been confirmed from many sources that this Zhuang Shijun is a monk with dead energy. It seems that Tianmen also has a way to hide dead energy." '
After Zhuang Shijun took the test, he sat back and didn't say a word of nonsense.Dujian Pavilion Cheng Yiyang, and Cangqi Villa Mu Shou also followed the test. Both of them are the best in the school, and they don't care about going through this formality.
The process was so smooth that the alarm bells in Ling Zhan's heart rang even louder.
Mu Qi came to the rest area and waited all afternoon. Although there were tea and meals, most of the monks were still bored. Some brothers from the same sect would chat and discuss with each other, and those who had no acquaintances just went to meditate by themselves.
Mu Xi observed everyone who passed the trial, their cultivation level is not bad, so far there is no sign of dead monks pretending to sneak in, and he doesn't dare to be careless.
After dinner, a disciple of the Ling family came in with a letter, saying that the second level of trials would start at night, and those who passed would be able to enter the inner city of Shenling and meet the Patriarch of the Ling family.
The monks present stood up excitedly.Thousands of casual cultivators came to Shenling to try their luck, but in the end only people from this courtyard entered the second trial. Everyone was curious about what kind of trial Shenling City would come up with.
In the inner city of Shenling, Zhao Rong'an was also preparing to enter the second trial. He had to cooperate with Mu Qi to test Tianmen's intentions.
Ling Chu knew that Zhao Rong'an's strength had recovered more than half, but he was still worried, and pulled Zhao Rong'an's arm to remind him ten thousand times, just like a coquettish ghost.Zhao Rong'an was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, so he forcibly pulled his arms and rushed into the formation and left.
Wang Zaixing couldn't help laughing at the side, scolded Ling Chu, immediately looked serious, and went to preside over the formation with Ling Xi.
The phantom formation was officially launched, and everyone entered the formation one by one in the casual cultivator's courtyard.And Ling Zhan is also inviting the participants of the Immortal Cultivation School to join the formation.
Feng Pingyuan watched Zhuang Shijun enter the breathing circle without changing his face, very leisurely, said good night to Ling Zhan, went back to sleep early, and said that he would call him when Zhuang Shijun came out.
The trial of Wanfa Pavilion was full of turmoil.
79. The Swordsman Takes the Lead
Zhao Rong'an stepped into the illusion array, and the surrounding scene has changed. It was in the Zhao Mansion, with green trees and flowers blooming in spring.
"Master~Master~" Zhao Shoucai ran over happily, and he threw himself into Zhao Rongan's arms with a nasal voice, acting like a baby.
Zhao Rongan
Three years ago, Mu Qi would never have imagined that one day he would be able to sit and chat with Wang Mo, discussing when to make an appointment, this is a very happy thing.
"We also have a fortune-telling friendship. Don't call him Mr. Ling Xi. It's too good-for-nothing. You can just call me Ling Xi. I also have a younger brother named Wang Zaixing. He can play a lot of tricks. When we meet him, we The three get together." Ling Xi smiled, and patted Mu Xi's shoulder casually, making Mu Xi a good brother.
"Patriarch Wang?" Mu Qi had a little impression that Zhao Rong'an passed the sound transmission talisman with him when he was in Linxu Mountain.
Ling Xi nodded and said: "It's him. Before he was the head of the family, he was too skinny. My father couldn't control him, so my uncle just let him go. He said that he can follow his father's personality. It's good. .”
Mu Qi blinked and sighed, "He's really an interesting person."
Ling Xi was a little cold by nature, but when he saw Mu Qi today, he talked a lot, with a sense of intimacy that even he himself couldn't describe well.Although he and Mu Qi have known each other for a long time, they don't meet many times. These were originally family matters, but he talked about them without any burden, unknowingly treating each other as his own.
There was a happy chat here, and there were waiters who came to look for Ling Xi.
"Young Master, Patriarch Wang is here, Patriarch invites you to the Hall of Divine Enlightenment"
Ling Xi collected his emotions, stood up, said goodbye to Mu Qi and left.Only then did Mu Qi notice that Ling Xi was wearing a formal robe today, with Ling's totem Steppenwolf embroidered on the dark purple clothes, he should have important things to do today.
Ling Xi didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly came to the majestic Hall of Divine Enlightenment by using spells.
Ling Xi walked up the steps of the hall step by step. The door of the hall was opened wide for him. Inside the hall was spread a long golden carpet, hung a pale purple curtain, lit an amethyst furnace, and lit incense.Ling Chu wore a purple and gold animal-pattern robe and sat on a golden high seat. Under the seat was Ling Zhan, the deputy head of the family, and Wang Zai, the acting head of the Wang family.
It is the tradition of the Ling family to enter the Hall of Divine Enlightenment for formal discussions when major decisions are made. The Hall of Divine Enlightenment is the core of the Ling family and has the strongest defensive formation in the entire world of cultivating immortals. It will never be disturbed or monitored by the outside world.
As soon as Ling Chu entered, the main entrance of the main hall was closed immediately, and the twelve yellow spar lamps in the hall illuminated the magnificent inner room.
It was rare for Ling Chu to sit upright without crossing his legs. He took out a letter and passed it in front of Ling Xi.Ling Xi caught it and saw that it said:
My friend Ling Chu:
I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much.Knowing that Shenling City opened the Wanfa Pavilion trial, I specially sent the right minister Zhuang Shijun and the elder Feng Pingyuan to come, hoping to benefit from each other and increase the friendship between the two families.
Inexhaustible
This letter paper is written in wild and impolite manner.And Ling Xi knew that the person who wrote this letter was a lunatic himself.
Ling Xi had just finished reading it, and before he could express his opinion, he heard Ling Chu on the throne sneer and say, "Shi Bian Xu is responding to my declaration of war."
How much attention was paid to understanding each other back then, and how much hatred and hatred there is now.Before that, Ling Chu set up a large fireworks array in Luyang Town, wiped out Shibuli's confidant brigade, and seriously injured Qianshanxue, which was to declare war on the opponent.After waiting for so long, Shi Buxuan finally responded, and the grievances and grievances after 20 years finally came to an end.
The snow mountain founded by the family is called "Tianmen" because they claim to have seen the gate of heaven.They study medicine and poison, thinking they can control life and death in the world, and they look down on all sects of cultivating immortals.
"The Gate of the Way of Heaven..." Ling Chu read these four words, wanting to be crushed by it.
76. Fog
As Ling Chu's anger rose, the atmosphere in the Hall of Divine Enlightenment became more and more silent. Seeing the Patriarch's anger, the three people in the audience dared not speak.
Ling Chu was usually playful and wanton, and he seemed to be indifferent to everything.But when he was really angry, the depressing and shocking aura made people tremble.
Although Ling Xi and Wang Zaixing are juniors, they both hold high positions, and they are usually the overlords of the party who obey their words. Now they dare not speak out, and just wait silently for Ling Chu to speak later.
Ling Zhan saw that his brother was substituted into the old hatred from 20 years ago because of a letter from the world.Although Ling Zhan has confidence in Ling Chu, since he saw Ling Chu almost collapsed 20 years ago, he was still afraid that his mind would be affected, and even more afraid that he would make too radical decisions, so he quickly interrupted his emotions and said: "Patriarch, Wuyou has come to report that the members of Tianmen have arrived at Shenling Outer City, whether to carry out the next plan."
As soon as Ling Zhan's words came out, Ling Chu's emotions calmed down, he leaned back on the back of the chair, half-closed his eyes, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Ling Zhan not only sighed with emotion, but after all these years, Shi Buxun still understands very well what can most affect Ling Chu's emotions.
Over the years, Shi has continued to let his subordinates recruit more disciples, and let Tianmen disciples enter the world to practice medicine. Today, Tianmen sect has integrated into all levels of the world of cultivating immortals, and it is no longer easy to turn their faces into enemies.
Feng Pingyuan and Zhuang Shijun came as the world's inexhaustible messengers. In accordance with the morality of the world of cultivating immortals, Ling Chu could not hurt them in the slightest.
A piece of letter paper that Shi Shi kept understating, telling Ling Chu who sent him, this is a defiant challenge.
And the world keeps calling Ling Chu "my friend", which is to remind Ling Chu that it was because of Ling Chu's wrong belief that he was able to complete most of his plans so smoothly, and even almost succeeded.
Ling Chu quickly adjusted his emotions completely. He understood that the Wanfa Pavilion was about to advance, and the most important thing right now was the deployment of the situation.
"Xi'er, Shenling Inner City, what's the situation now?"
Ling Xi replied: "Everything is as usual in the inner city of Shenling City. All the monks who arrived stayed at the guest post in the outer city, and no one was allowed to enter the inner city."
"Come on, how is Linxu Guanghan now?"
Wang Zaixing had never seen his uncle so unsmiling, he couldn't help but become serious, the fan in his hand stopped spinning, and he held it honestly, and reported rigorously and meticulously: "A few dead puppets were also found in Guanghan City later, But they were all easily eliminated. After the first wave of puppets, there were almost no abnormalities. I launched a large underground palace search array during the period, and there was no death in the range of the Linxu Mountains, which is very strange."
In the end, Wang Zaixing concluded: "Uncle, from the current point of view, I think that Shi Buxuan is only harassing Guanghan City, and will not really pose a threat. His intention should be Shenling."
Ling Chu listened to the reports of the three and pondered the current situation carefully.
Now Shi Bu has no idea how much combat power Ling Chu has, Ling Chu also doesn't know how many hole cards Shi Bu has hidden, both of them are probing, intending to find each other's weaknesses.
Ling Chu thought carefully about Shi Buxue's letter, and said: "Shi Buxue's letter said that the people sent here are Feng Pingyuan, a master poisoner, and Zhuang Shijun, a puppet maker. What is the individual planning to do?"
As soon as Ling Zhan heard about Feng Pingyuan, he immediately said: "Feng Pingyuan was the one who seriously injured Xi'er three years ago. After that, Shen Ling has been declaring that Ling Xi is in retreat. I guess they came this time, is it It is also intended to confirm Xi'er's life and death."
Ling Chu nodded and said: "Brother Zhan is right. We used the name of Xi'er to hold the trial of Wanfa Pavilion this time. We originally planned to take the opportunity to find out who made Xi'er a puppet. Now this issue has been resolved." If you solve it, you don’t need to be afraid of the endless temptations of the world, I’m afraid they have other intentions to hurt people.”
Ling Xi cared about another person, he said, "Patriarch, Feng Pingyuan's poison technique has stricter restrictions, I think this Zhuang Shijun is more threatening."
When Ling Chu heard this, he lifted his spirits and asked Ling Xi to explain in detail.
Ling Xi recalled the battles in the past, and said: "I have fought this Zhuang Shijun more than once, but I have never come into contact with him personally. I will always face his puppet."
Ling Chu nodded and said: "You said this in the previous battle report, I remember."
Ling Xi also said: "Mr. Zhuang Shi is elusive and hard to distinguish between truth and reality. I almost fell into his way several times. This time, there are so many visions. I am afraid that he is the one who is laying out the layout at the gate of heaven."
'It's elusive, it's hard to tell the truth from the truth...' Ling Chu thought about it, and guessed: "Shenling City is full of vitality, and the death energy retreats when encountering it, so if the world is inexhaustible, it is simply using the vitality monks, is it enough to get involved in it. "
Ling Zhan's spirit was shaken, and he immediately answered: "It is very possible! There are many living monks in Tianmen. They adhere to the concept of medical skills to help the world, and they continue to win reputation for the world. There are also many followers who have saved their lives."
Ling Chu squinted his eyes and touched his chin, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhan, you are in charge of the reception work in the outer city of Shenling. For Ling Xi, just say that he has left the customs, and don't make any other indications. Xi'er is in charge of the inner city of Shenling. City defense affairs, if you encounter any hidden dangers, you are allowed to execute them on the spot. As for the next step, you have just recovered, you should assist him in defense work first."
"Yes!" Everyone saluted and accepted the order.
In the evening, a guest came to Chengshi Pavilion, it was Zhao Rong'an who was worried that Mu Qi would live alone.
Zhao Rongan knocked on Mu Qi's room door, put the bookcase on Mu Qi's desk, and said, "These are the sword manuals compiled by Ling Xi for you. I met him on the way here, and I planned to come here together. Halfway He was called by Ling Chu to discuss matters again, please let me bring it to you."
Mu Qi was very moved when he heard that, he looked through the sword manuals, and found that they were all pure swordsmanship skills, which were suitable for him to practice, and the selection of the sword manuals was done with care, so he couldn't help being flattered.
Zhao Rongan liked Mu Qi's humility and politeness very much, and he also shared his views on swordsmanship by the way.
When Mu Xi talked with him, he was amazed.When we first met, Zhao Rong'an gave him the feeling that he was a little dumbfounded, but the kindness emanating from his heart was irresistible.Every time I saw him later, he changed a lot. Gradually, he changed from a kind brother to a gentle elder.
Zhao Rongan thinks that swordsmanship is not his best skill, but even so, Mu Qi, as a self-taught junior, is far inferior to Zhao Rongan in terms of cultivation and knowledge of techniques.The image of Zhao Rong'an in his heart has become taller and more powerful.
The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door. After three knocks, Wang Zaixing in white came out with his head stuck out, and shouted in a long voice at the door: "Uncle Zhao~Xiao Muqi~"
Seeing him, Zhao Rongan laughed and said, "Why haven't you been arrested by Ling Chu to work?"
Wang Zaixing unfolded the fan, twirled it twice with his fingertips, raised his head and said, "Brother Xi is familiar with the defense of Shenling City, I am a guest after all~ Uncle, why would I be too tired~"
"naughty."
Wang Zaixing was not restrained, walked over in two or three steps, opened the chair, sat down and said with a smile: "Okay~ Actually, uncle asked me to ask Brother Mu if he could draw the puppet formation he used earlier."
Mu Qi had never met this person before, so he didn't know if he could draw a formation for him, so he didn't agree immediately.But he felt that this familiar style was very much like Patriarch Lingchu.
It was only then that Wang Zaixing realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet. He rolled his eyes and put on a bright smile and said, "My name is Wang Zaixing, and I'm Ling Xi's younger brother."
It was the first time Mu Qi met the head of the Wang family, and he felt that he was just as Ling Xi said, a casual and lively person.
Wang Zaixing covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Xiao Muqi, don't be too restrained. I also want to see the difference between your puppet formation and the living puppet formation. Just listening to it makes me really curious."
Mu Qi took a pen and paper and demonstrated it to Wang Zaixing.
Wang Zaixing was overjoyed to see the finished product, so he hurriedly asked Mu Qi if he knew other puppet formations, Mu Qi drew them one by one, and Wang Zaixing studied them seriously.
"Huh?" Wang Zaixing suddenly wondered, "Why do these formations look like sword formations?"
Mu Qi raised his head suddenly, with a blank expression on his face, and Zhao Rongan also looked over.
The sword array is used by the senior management of Cangqi Mountain Villa. Most of them choose qualified disciples to train and train them to cooperate with the formation. Therefore, Mu Qi rarely sees it. But three years ago, he was trapped and injured by the Seven Swords Array. I still remember What that formation looks like.
He hastily drew the Seven Swords Formation three years ago for Wang Zaixing to see. He couldn't remember everything, so he could only draw an outline, but Wang Zaixing, as a formation master, could tell it was the Cangqi Sword Formation at a glance.
In the earliest days of cultivating immortals, only the Wang family studied formations, and in the later period, the formations of all factions were converted from the Wang family's formations.In the past 200 years, the Wang family formation has developed rapidly. Cangqi Villa once sent disciples to ask for advice, and then developed the current Cangqi Sword Formation.
The direct disciples of the Wang family must familiarize themselves with all the types and branches of formations before leaving their teachers. Therefore, the disciples of the Wang family may not be able to understand the Cangqi sword formation very well, but it is more than enough.
Wang Zaixing finally knew the purpose of his uncle asking him to see Mu Qi's puppet formation.The puppet array that Mu Qi knew came from the Jiehai Building in Cangqi Villa. Judging from the current situation, the puppet array in Cangqi Villa is quite different from the known puppet array in the Wang family, and the formation rules follow the sword array. It is very likely that it was made by the senior management of Cangqi Villa.
Even though the matter of Ling Xi three years ago, it can be inferred that Shi Bujiu has some connection with Cangqi Villa, but it is very difficult to confirm that the inner ghost in the world of cultivating immortals comes from the high-level Cangqi.
Wang Zaixing felt that it was a genius who changed the sword formation into a puppet formation, and even wanted to make friends and exchange experience on formation techniques.Suddenly, I remembered that that person should belong to the enemy, and felt a little pity.She only showed her cuteness to Mu Qi with a shy face, "Whether I can take these formations or not is a very important matter, and I have to study it carefully."
Of course Mu Qi agreed, saying that if Wang Zaixing couldn't understand, he could come to him again.
Wang Zaixing was so moved that he didn't want to, and even began to care about Mu Qi's daily life: "Speaking of which, it's not a problem for Xiao Mu Qi to live here. How can he be comfortable in such a simple and simple house? Brother Xi's house is big, so let him live in the house every other day." Make a room that is shielded from breathing, and you can live with him."
Mu Qi quickly said that there is no need to bother.
Zhao Rongan couldn't stand listening to it, and said, "Mu Qi is the same age as you, and you're taking advantage of others."
Wang Zaixing pretended he hadn't heard it, grabbed the formation map on the table, and said goodbye with a smile: "Uncle Zhao~Xiao Muqi~ See you later~"
77. Nine Flames
Wang Zaixing is a lively activist. He made suggestions on the first day and implemented them himself the next day.He personally set up an isolation formation in Ling Xi's side room, and asked the servants of Shenling City to move a lot of daily necessities inside.
When Ling Chu was looking for his nephew, he saw someone walking inside carrying the washstand.The furnishings of Ling Xi's house are simple, and generally no additions are made when no one is staying.
"Yo, Xi'er, who wants to live with you?"
As soon as Ling Chu entered the door, he teased his nephew with a smile.
Ling Xi bowed to his uncle, and replied: "It's Mu Xi who is moving in, and he's making preparations."
While Ling Xi was talking here, Wang Zaixing heard that Ling Chu had arrived, so he ran over in a hurry, and he could be heard shouting from a distance: "Uncle, you are here today too~"
Ling Chu narrowed his eyes and jokingly said, "I asked you to ask Mu Qi for advice and study the puppet array, how did you get everyone here? Do you think it's too far to go to Chengshi Pavilion every day?"
It turned out that every time Wang Zaixing came to Shenling City, he lived in Lingxi Residence, and Lingchu was teasing him for being lazy.
Wang Zaixing covered his mouth with a fan, and pretended to be wronged: "Nephew, don't you worry that Xiao Mu's living conditions are not good? The visitor is a guest, so please treat him well. Besides, anyone who goes there every day, except me Is there Uncle Zhao? He moved here, and Uncle Zhao also ran closer, so you don’t have to go all the way to find someone, Uncle.”
Ling Chu laughed, and said, "Why did you say that I was here at the end, so naughty!"
Seeing his younger brother being so lively, Ling Xi couldn't help laughing.
"Stop making trouble, how is the situation recently?" After the gag, Ling Chu became serious.
Ling Xi and Wang Zaixing reported the situation of Shen Ling one by one, saying that the current situation is as usual.
"All kinds of formations and techniques in the inner city are properly arranged, and some important roads are not allowed to pass except for direct disciples." Ling Xi said.
"I have analyzed the formation provided by Xiao Muqi here, and I am comparing it with the sword formation diagram left by Linxu and Cangqi in the past. Wuyou went to Cangqi to investigate the list of their disciples who have held the formation for nearly 200 years. After returning Further screening can be carried out.”
Ling Chu nodded and said: "Well done, it depends on what kind of tricky angle Shi Zong will use to attack on the day of the trial."
The test of Wanfa Pavilion was Shi Nong's response to Ling Chu's declaration of war, and it was also a situation where Ling Chu tried Shi Nong.For so many years, Shi Zong has been dormant in the dark, Ling Chu wanted to see to what extent the other party's penetration power had reached.
Things were too complicated, after Ling Chu left "Lingxi", he stayed in the Hall of Divine Enlightenment for a whole day, and when he returned to the Hall of Nameless at night, he met a maid in the hall.
"Has Master Zhao come back?" Ling Chu asked with a smile.
The maid returned with a smile and said, "Patriarch, Mr. Zezhi just came back, and I'm going to prepare dinner."
Ling Chu nodded and let her go.
Ling Chu was very puzzled, since Mu Qi came to Shenling City, Zhao Rongan went to him almost every day.At first Ling Chu thought it was because he was too busy recently, and Zhao Rongan was bored by himself and wanted to talk to someone.But later he discovered that even if Zhao Rong'an didn't talk to Mu Qi, he would go to Junzi's Residence alone for a while. Except for resting at night, he always didn't want to stay in Wuming Hall.
why?
The main door of the Unnamed Hall was open, and there was no breath inside.It stands to reason that Zhao Rong'an's strength has recovered nearly half during this time, if he does not restrain himself deliberately, he should be able to feel his anger when he is close to the Hall of No Names.
Ling Chu frowned and ran in, only to find Zhao Rongan lying on the ground in pajamas.
Ling Chu was startled, and immediately stepped forward to pick him up. He checked Zhao Rongan's breath and found that his breath was disordered, so he immediately used techniques to assist his return.Half an hour later, Zhao Rongan woke up.
Ling Chu sensed that Zhao Rong'an's soul was unstable, so he asked the maid to boil Huanglancao, and he helped him to rest on the soft couch. At this time, Zhao Rong'an's face improved a lot, and Ling Chu finally felt relieved.
"Where else are you uncomfortable?"
Zhao Rongan shook his head and said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable now, so don't worry."
"Is this the first time you fainted?"
Zhao Rongan shook his head: "No, but it's not a big problem, and he can wake up soon."
Ling Chu expressed his anger: "You should have said it earlier!"
Zhao Rongan was a little embarrassed and said: "You are too busy and don't want to disturb you."
Ling Chu sighed, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Did you faint in the Unnamed Hall?"
Zhao Rong'an thought about it carefully, and said: "You seem to be right when you mention it like this. And when I stay in the Hall of Namelessness, I tend to get dizzy."
"So you've been running elsewhere all this time because of this?"
Zhao Rongan thought about it for a while, and it seemed to make sense.
'It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. The defense of the Unnamed Hall is second only to the Divine Enlightenment Hall, so no one can hurt it. Ling Chu thought about it and asked, "When did your situation start?"
Zhao Rong'an reported an approximate date, and when Ling Chu heard it, he suddenly realized.He walked to the side of the bed, opened the storage cabinet under the bed, and took out a black short knife, which was the one he had been wearing before.
"Jiuyan? Why are you here?"
Ling Chu handed the knife to Zhao Rong'an and said, "You live here, and I'm always away. Lord Jiuyan, I put it here just in case. Then, I wonder if it's because of Jiuyan that you are dizzy?" of?"
Jiuyan?Zhao Rongan took it with nostalgia, and felt a burst of warmth as soon as he took it, his head was groggy, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Seeing this, Ling Chu quickly pulled Jiu Yan back, and Zhao Rongan woke up.
"Is your last sealed memory related to Jiu Yan?" Ling Chu guessed.
"Probably, but when I touched Jiuyan, I didn't have any new memory images, maybe it's just one of the conditions."
This time the problem got stuck again, Ling Chu looked at his saber, circulated his breath, the short knife turned into a long sword, and the golden flame flowed around the sword body, this is the complete form of Jiuyan.
"So, do you remember anything?"
Zhao Rongan looked at the golden flames for a long time, but still shook his head.
Ling Chu sighed, and planned to put Jiu Yan away and study it later.At this moment, Jiu Yan suddenly broke free from his master's hand and flew up, circled behind Ling Chu, and slashed at Ling Chu from a strange angle.
Ling Chu frowned, thinking that Jiu Yan was out of control, but Jiu Yan didn't show any murderous intent, and kept repeating the action of cutting towards Ling Chu.
"This action is like cutting with a sickle..." Zhao Rong'an said unconsciously, and then Ling Chu Zhao Rong'an was shocked: Jiu Yan was imitating the scene where Ling Chu was hacked to death by a sickle in Stranger Things.
Seeing that the two people finally understood its prompt, Jiu Yan happily spun around twice, changed back to the short knife state, and returned to the owner's hand.
Jiuyan can't speak, but it has memory. Ling Chu looked at Aidao silently, recalled the scene more than 20 years ago, and guessed the hint given by Jiuyan.
"Rebirth." Ling Chu thought of this word.
Zhao Rongan was startled when he heard that, thinking of the scene where he and Jiu Yan pulled Ling Chu back from the ghost gate together, his head burst into pain for a while.
Jiuyan has the power to assist people in rebirth. When Zhao Rongan died 20 years ago, Jiuyan might have been there.
Zhao Rong'an rolled into a ball in pain, his beautiful facial features wrinkled together, Ling Chu was so distressed that he immediately cast a spell.At this time, the maid came in with the boiled Huanglancao, and Ling Chu brought it to Zhao Rongan to feed it bit by bit.It took a long time for the other party to slow down.
The pain made Zhao Rong'an break out in a cold sweat, and he had no strength at all.
Ling Chu condensed the water with a technique, and wiped Zhao Rongan's body. The maid was frightened by the scene in front of her, and hurriedly helped Ling Chu move.After several tosses, it was finally over.
Ling Chu fell silent while watching Zhao Rongan who had fallen asleep.
'Jiuyan has spent hundreds of years in the territory of Dujiange and is closely related to it.This time, the Cheng family will also send people to the trial of Wanfa Pavilion, and they have to find a way to collect some information about Jiuyan. 'Ling Chu was thinking like this.
78. Welcome
When Mu Qi woke up, the sun was already high and the bed was too soft, so he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.The blue-gray veil was half-closed, and there was still the lingering fragrance of calming spirits lit by the waiter last night in the room. It was the first time in Mu Qi's life to stay in such a luxurious room.
Looking at the time, Mu Xi couldn't help sighing, "No wonder it's easy to be extravagant, but difficult to be simple."It's only been a day's work, and I'm already greedy for warmth and comfort, and I can't even get up early, and I must never do this in the future. '
As if sensing that the people in the house woke up, someone knocked on the door immediately.
Mu Qi hurriedly tidied up his clothes and knocked on the door. He saw a straw puppet standing at the door, dressed as a servant and holding a water basin.
"Hong...Miss Hong." It was this straw puppet who came to serve him last night, which made Mu Qi feel flattered.
This straw puppet is Xiao Hong, one of the two puppet puppet Ling Chu made. Ling Chu considered that Mu Qi is a dead monk after all, and it is not convenient for him to get along with other monks or attendants intimately, so he let Xiao Hong and Da Zhuang is here.
Xiaohong couldn't speak, so she just put the basin on the sink, put on a water congealing talisman and started to drain the water, and put on a warming talisman while draining the water, and after a while, the basin was filled with hot water.
Xiao Hong pulled the soft towel and handed it to Mu Xi, who took it with both hands and washed it carefully.After washing up, Xiao Hong pulled Mu Xi to sit in front of the dressing table, and took a comb to comb his hair.
When the comb touched the hair, Mu Qi couldn't help dodging.He saw his white hair hanging down, and he didn't dare to look at Xiaohong in the mirror. Even though he knew that she was just a puppet, he was worried and feared.
Xiaohong can't perceive human emotions, she conscientiously tied Mu Qi's hair without any distracting thoughts, this usual reaction made Mu Qi calm down, and she no longer dodged.
Everything was ready, Xiaohong left the room with the basin in her hand, closed the door and left.Mu Qi looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a set of ordinary prince's clothes, with white hair and clean face, and his mood was never before at ease and peace.
"Xiaohong said you finished washing up, can I come in?"
Ling Xi knocked on the door, and Mu Qi quickly went to meet him.
Seeing Mu Qi who opened the door with a clean and gentle look, Ling Xi softened his tone unconsciously, and said, "I'll take you to the outer city."
It turned out that Ling Chu felt that Mu Xi practiced death energy and might be more sensitive to death energy monks than ordinary people, so he asked Mu Xi to disguise himself and mix with the casual practitioners who came to participate in the trial, together with the participants.
Ling Xi was arranged not to show up to the public for the time being, so Ling Xi came to perform illusions for Mu Qi and took him to participate in the trial.
"I'm ready to start anytime."
Ling Xi took Mu Xi's hand and held it in both hands, a formation slowly formed in Mu Xi's palm.
Mu Qi's hand was grabbed by Ling Xi, and his heart couldn't help beating fast.Today Ling Xi didn't wear Ling's formal attire, but casually put on a gray and white long gown, making him look slender and handsome.He looked down at his palms, his eyelashes drooped, covering his blue eyes, Mu Qi was dumbfounded, and didn't care when the formation was completed.
"All right."
With Ling Xi's reminder, Mu Qi came back to his senses, looked in the mirror, and saw that he had changed his usual appearance, and his white hair had also turned blue.
Mu Xi exclaimed, "What a powerful illusion!"
Ling Xi carefully analyzed the feasibility, and then said: "If you want to learn, I will teach you."
Mu Xi suddenly felt spoiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "...OK"
Ling Xi led Mu Qi out from the side gate of the inner city of Shenling, and arrived at the market in the outer city, where the disciples of the Ling family had long been waiting to meet him.After Ling Xi finished explaining everything, he was about to return to Shenling's inner city.
When parting, Ling Xi was still not at ease, and said to Mu Xi: "My father presides over the trials in the outer city, you don't need to be nervous, I've already covered up your death, they won't be able to see it."
Mu Qi thought that Ling Xi was worried that he would be exposed, or that he had missed the task, so he immediately nodded and assured: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it well."
Ling Xi knew that Mu Qi had misunderstood concern, so he was not in a hurry to explain. He gave Mu Xi his badge and said, "The other party doesn't know what method they will use. Use this to call me when necessary."
It was not early, Mu Qi left quickly, he was reluctant to part with Ling Xi, and looked back frequently.
Ling Xi thought that the other party was afraid that he would be surrounded by a large group of living monks, so he smiled to comfort him from a distance.Ling Xi is not good at expressing emotions, and this smile is not very pretty, but in Mu Xi's eyes, this smile becomes the brightest sun and the best reassurance.
The outer city of Shenling had already made preparations for this trial. Along the way, you could see disciples of the Ling family patrolling. They were dressed in purple attire, neat and holy, and attracted many people from the outer city to watch.
The merchants on the street are all shouting, selling the special products of Ling's territory. Many foreign casual cultivators and monks from other sects are coming to Shenling City for the first time, and they linger in the market and official roads to buy.
The slogans on the street and the open teleportation formations everywhere declared the prosperity of the city.Mu Qi didn't stop in the outer city in a hurry when he came, but now he is dumbfounded.In the sky of Shenling City, there is a living and bright light flowing. This is really a treasure land favored by the gods.
Not long after, Mu Qi came to a large square. One side of the square was filled with a whole row of cyan crystals, there were probably hundreds of them. They were tools for testing cultivation. Just brush it off, and at the same time, it can also detect dead monks.
There are too many people here, and the leading disciple can't take him in again. He pointed to the first cyan spar and motioned him to go there for a test.
The first spar was the closest to the high platform of the square, Mu Qi saw Ling Zhan sitting there on the platform, and there were several other sects around him.Feng Pingyuan, who was wearing a red dress, was particularly eye-catching. He naturally and generously sat beside Ling Zhan, smiling profusely.And Feng Pingyuan was surrounded by Mr. Zhuang, who was very talkative, and the Cheng family whom he met in Yizhou.
And there was another son, elegant in Tsing Yi, with quick eyes, it was Mu Shouyi whom Mu Qi hadn't seen for a long time, and he came in place of his senior brother Mu Shoubie.
'It turns out that the people from the five sects have all met each other a long time ago. Mu Qi didn't dare to look any further, and went straight to the first cyan spar, and handed over his registration sign.The disciple who was doing the work saw that it said Sanxiu Meng Qi.
Although there are many casual practitioners, but the basic cultivation level is not high, the root is not good, and there are very few people who pass the test, so the disciples who handle the affairs don't take this Meng Qi too seriously, and the introduction is not very careful.
Mu Xi knew how to operate the spar, and didn't care about the attitude of his disciples. He directly put the hand that Ling Xi had set up on the cyan spar, and input his own death energy, and the cyan spar showed a strong vitality. sign.
"Oh, you casual cultivator, you have a good foundation." The disciple in charge was a little surprised. He had been busy all morning, and there were only a handful of casual cultivators who could meet the Ling family's requirements for accepting disciples. This Meng Qi passed .
Mu Qi's nameplate was engraved with a pass mark, and the disciples of the office instructed him to go to the rest area behind the square and wait for the next trial.
At this moment, Ling Zhan glanced at Mu Qi's place in a vague way, and then continued to deal with the other sects of cultivating immortals.
"This Wanfa Pavilion test, since my Ling family said that it is open to the entire world of cultivating immortals, it naturally covers a wider area and many people come. It is a great honor for you to come to my God Ling City, but in order to show fairness , and please cooperate, and pass through the level with other testers."
Ling Zhan made the request gently and politely, his eyes swept across the audience, looking at everyone's expressions.
Unexpectedly, Feng Pingyuan was the first one to agree. He said with a smile: "That's natural. Our Tianmen is here to join in the fun this time. It's our Zhuang Youcheng. Quickly bring the test stone and let him test it. I am Those who come to watch the fun, don’t follow along.”
When Cangqi Villa and Dujiange heard this, they also agreed.They were just representatives of the sect, and they went to the countryside to participate in the trial as the custom did, which was originally a good thing they had agreed upon when they came here.
Ling Zhan waved his sleeves, and someone came up with a bluestone. Tianmen Zhuang Shijun didn't say a word, and he measured it when he came up, showing his profound cultivation.Ling Zhan looked as usual, but he was thinking in his heart, "It has been confirmed from many sources that this Zhuang Shijun is a monk with dead energy. It seems that Tianmen also has a way to hide dead energy." '
After Zhuang Shijun took the test, he sat back and didn't say a word of nonsense.Dujian Pavilion Cheng Yiyang, and Cangqi Villa Mu Shou also followed the test. Both of them are the best in the school, and they don't care about going through this formality.
The process was so smooth that the alarm bells in Ling Zhan's heart rang even louder.
Mu Qi came to the rest area and waited all afternoon. Although there were tea and meals, most of the monks were still bored. Some brothers from the same sect would chat and discuss with each other, and those who had no acquaintances just went to meditate by themselves.
Mu Xi observed everyone who passed the trial, their cultivation level is not bad, so far there is no sign of dead monks pretending to sneak in, and he doesn't dare to be careless.
After dinner, a disciple of the Ling family came in with a letter, saying that the second level of trials would start at night, and those who passed would be able to enter the inner city of Shenling and meet the Patriarch of the Ling family.
The monks present stood up excitedly.Thousands of casual cultivators came to Shenling to try their luck, but in the end only people from this courtyard entered the second trial. Everyone was curious about what kind of trial Shenling City would come up with.
In the inner city of Shenling, Zhao Rong'an was also preparing to enter the second trial. He had to cooperate with Mu Qi to test Tianmen's intentions.
Ling Chu knew that Zhao Rong'an's strength had recovered more than half, but he was still worried, and pulled Zhao Rong'an's arm to remind him ten thousand times, just like a coquettish ghost.Zhao Rong'an was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, so he forcibly pulled his arms and rushed into the formation and left.
Wang Zaixing couldn't help laughing at the side, scolded Ling Chu, immediately looked serious, and went to preside over the formation with Ling Xi.
The phantom formation was officially launched, and everyone entered the formation one by one in the casual cultivator's courtyard.And Ling Zhan is also inviting the participants of the Immortal Cultivation School to join the formation.
Feng Pingyuan watched Zhuang Shijun enter the breathing circle without changing his face, very leisurely, said good night to Ling Zhan, went back to sleep early, and said that he would call him when Zhuang Shijun came out.
The trial of Wanfa Pavilion was full of turmoil.
79. The Swordsman Takes the Lead
Zhao Rong'an stepped into the illusion array, and the surrounding scene has changed. It was in the Zhao Mansion, with green trees and flowers blooming in spring.
"Master~Master~" Zhao Shoucai ran over happily, and he threw himself into Zhao Rongan's arms with a nasal voice, acting like a baby.
