016 Undercurrent
It was Xiao Yat who walked on the side. It's just that to the surprise of the three of them, they didn't find anyone hiding here when they looked around before. But now that the divine sense visited, he found that the other party did not have the slightest spiritual power fluctuation on his body. In this way, this man is indeed a mortal. It's just that how did this person hide from the detection of the three monks and hide perfectly?
Before the blue-robed middle-aged man could see the masked Xiao Yi clearly, he saw his figure flicker, and then disappeared on the spot. This disappeared in a breath, and when Xiao Yi reappeared in place, the atmosphere on this scene instantly became solidified.
"Blue Shadow, you go over and get rid of this mortal boy first!"
The blue-robed middle-aged man beckoned his disciples to kill Xiao Yi first. Although this man is mortal, he feels very dangerous. Keeping a person like this on the battlefield can be a distraction at any time.
However, he shouted to his disciple but did not respond for a long time, and then saw Lan Ying's body sway and fall. When he wanted to see what was happening, the disciple who called for the cold wind tilted his body and fell to the ground.
"What did you do?"
The blue-robed man was a monk himself, and in addition to divine sense exploration, his eyesight had also improved a lot. Although the surrounding environment was gloomy now, he could still see the appearance of the two disciples who had fallen to the ground.
Behind the two of them, a dark red color slowly appeared, and blood seeped out. The blue-robed man was horrified to discover through his divine sense that there was a small hole in the back ribs of these two people. The other party actually pierced their lungs and then pierced their hearts. Blood poured into their lungs in an instant, so they didn't even have time to cry out for help before they died.
"Little thief, you actually dare to do something to the cultivators! Fall to the ground, what kind of magic did you use to kill the two cultivators?"
Xiao Yi turned around and walked to a big tree, squatted down and sat next to the root, raised his eyebrows and looked at the blue-robed man curiously, and said innocently: "Please! They are just Qi cultivators, according to the judgment of the cultivators, are they not the same as mortals if they don't build a foundation? I didn't provoke you, how can I say that I killed the cultivators?"
The blue-robed man heard the wind behind him, and when he looked back, a long sword was already across his neck. He hadn't heard any sound of gold and iron colliding before, so he had always thought that Lao Dao was still controlled by himself in the wind array. Now it seems that he still underestimates the strength of his opponent.
"Boy, your qi acumulator technique really works. How about going back and passing on a few more tricks to me? After a few years, the old man will also try to break through the knot. ”
Zhao Qianbei's figure changed, and a yellow robe disappeared immediately. At this time, although the black robe was sewn from coarse cloth, the faint red silk showed its extraordinary. What remained unchanged was his wine gourd at night, which didn't seem to be an illusion.
"Senior Zhao, can you wait any longer? Now that the demon tribulation has just begun, if you retreat now to impact the Jiedan, then Xiao Yi is afraid that he will not be able to find you for a while!"
"You still can't find me? My old man is tasting dusty tribute wine in the Beiji Imperial Palace, and you called me back directly. And said you couldn't find it?"
"Can't you hide from my Xiao family if you steal wine? A while ago, I said to Wuxian that it was best to come to you, but he went directly to the palace. ”
"Can't you go to a few more places and talk about finding the old man?
"No! Senior Zhao, I don't ...... either."
"Can you respect Gu Mou?"
The blue-robed man was holding a long sword around his neck at this time, and was about to die generously, but he didn't expect to be completely ignored by these two people. No matter how he said that he was also a foundation building monk, he was ignored by his opponent for building a foundation, which made him really feel humiliated.
"What's the noise? Don't you see that I'm talking to Senior Zhao?
Xiao Yi glared at the blue-robed middle-aged man dissatisfied, and then looked at Zhao Qianbei.
"Gu Moutang Foundation Monk in the later stage, do you think this attitude ......?"
"What is the state? What is the degree? I have seen a lot of people like you! When you come up, you talk about the rules of cultivating truth, why don't you first look in the mirror and look at your own face? What kind of cultivators can't meddle in mortal things, and I think you don't deceive mortals less! What? You can fool the people, and we can't let everyone leave, right? Why do you let you say everything? The rules of the world protect those who abide by the rules, and scum like you are not qualified to make a voice! In Beiji, the cruelty of children is a serious crime! It doesn't mean that children should go unpunished in the name of protecting children!"
"What does this have to do with Gu?"
The blue-robed middle-aged man was a little dizzy when he was robbed by Xiao Yi for a while, so he shouted angrily.
"It doesn't matter? Not all rules protect your interests! When you infringe on the interests of others, you will face the consequences of being tortured and killed!"
"Then kill him!
Senior Zhao also felt that the person in front of him was too noisy, so the long sword in his hand was gently pressed against the skin of the middle-aged man in the blue robe.
"Senior Zhao is angry, this person still has some uses. Trouble the seniors to abolish his cultivation first and receive him into the spirit beast bag. Wait a minute, let's go to the guy surnamed Long and ask for clarification. ”
Xiao Yi got up and patted the dust on his body, then turned around and walked towards the newly renovated temple.
Pushing open the temple door, Long Shengtai was waiting in the main hall for the gods to bring back good news.
"Mr. Long, don't wait. The three helpers you found were all solved. ”
"And ...... And the master!"
Long Shengtai looked at Xiao Yi who pushed the door in horror, he didn't believe that this dim sum master would be the opponent of the three immortals.
Xiao Yi slowly sat on a futon, looked up and asked curiously, "Mr. Long can tell me about his intentions now, right? What kind of force is behind you? How many temples are there?"
Long Shengtai's arm shook, and then he reached out with a short sword. He pointed his short sword at Xiao Yi and said in a trembling voice: "Master He, since you have noticed something, then you will not blame Long for a certain death." Originally, today's events had nothing to do with Master He, so Long never thought of being embarrassed by Master He. But...... Now you're forcing me!"
Before the words fell, Long Shengtai had already rushed towards Xiao Yi. The short sword slashed against Xiao Yi's ear, and the blow missed, and then Long Shengtai cut horizontally. It's just that his wrist stopped in mid-air, and he didn't cut Xiao Yi a single bit.
Xiao Yi looked at Long Shengtai calmly, and his left hand reached out with a sharp cone, which was firmly in front of Long Shengtai's wrist.
"Mr. Long, just talk. What are you doing here?"
Long Shengtai looked at the sharp cone that suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi's hand in horror, and muttered in disbelief: "Cultivator...... Cultivator...... How could it be?...... How could it be!"
It turned out that Long Shengtai had joined a force in his early years, and among these people were several cultivators, and there were many mortals like him. There are indeed some old people who have done good deeds among these people, but many of them are notorious local gangsters.
This time, Long Shengtai was sent to Yubo City to recruit members to develop in the name of doing good. If he can develop a group of members, then he can be promoted to the helmsman of this rudder. The reason why this broken temple was chosen was not Long Shengtai's original intention. Originally, he also wanted to build in a place closer to the town, but several immortals in the force said that he must preach on this temple to move the heavens and the earth.
When Xiao Yat marked a map full of the distribution of this power temple, his face gradually solidified.
"This is the Spirit Gathering Array!"
The thirty-six points in front of him were the eyes of the Spirit Gathering Array that a cultivator often arranged during his retreat and cultivation. But when he looked up at the plaque with the four big characters "Haoran Righteousness" written on it, he was suddenly shocked.
"Demon Gathering Array!"
The sudden thought made Xiao Yi feel a chill down his spine. If the other party really launched this big array in Qingyuan, then the entire Qingyuan would inevitably be reduced to a chaotic place filled with demonic energy. At that time, the spiritual power Dao method relied on by the monks of the human race and the demon race will be suppressed, and this place will definitely become a paradise for the demon race to wreak havoc.
At this time, Zhao Qianbei also walked in, and the two glanced at each other, but saw Zhao Qianbei shaking his head and sighing.
"Senior Zhao, what's wrong? Didn't that guy ask anything?"
He refused to say anything, and just now the old man tried to search for his soul, but his soul was actually banned. Fortunately, the old man, I left in time, otherwise I would have been seriously injured by his spirit self-explosion!"
Xiao Yi pushed the map in front of Senior Zhao, the old man took a sip of the wine gourd, and then said with a smile: "The main owner didn't ask anything, what secrets can he know from this broken urge?" It seems that this time it's ......."
Halfway through his words, Zhao Qianbei was attracted by the mark in front of him. As a registered disciple of the Jingxi Fairy, Senior Zhao also had a lot of research on the Dan Dao formation. He looked at the location of these points, looked up at Xiao Yi in disbelief, and finally asked in disbelief: "This seems to be a spirit gathering array! Could it be that they want to impact the gods? But even if they impact the gods, I am afraid that it will take a long time to gather enough spiritual power in such a large area, right? But it is also good, in this way, my Qingyuan is bound to become a holy land of cultivation with a strong spiritual aura, and within 10,000 years, I can really achieve several powerful gods." ”
Zhao Qianbei drank another glass of wine. But when he saw that Xiao Yi's face was still cold, he suddenly became a little puzzled. Did you guess wrong?
"Senior Zhao, this is the temple of the Zhengqi Pavilion, Xiao Yi suspects that this is not a place built to gather spiritual energy, it is very likely to be ......"
"Gather demonic energy!"
A word woke up the person in the dream, this matter of the Righteous Qi Pavilion was originally a well-known thing in the Qingyuan Continent. Moreover, Khan Qingmen has always had dealings with Yubo City, so what happened in the Zhengqi Pavilion at the beginning was naturally known to Zhao Qianbei. But if the other party makes this big array, isn't he afraid of attracting the attention of the cultivation realm?
"Xiao Yi! this kind of big array is too ostentatious, not only you and I can see it in the Qingyuan Continent Cultivation Realm, but I'm afraid there are many people who can sense the strangeness of this place. If this is the case for the demons, aren't they afraid of exposing their hiding?"
Xiao Yi thought about it, and thought of a possibility in his heart, so he reasoned tentatively and said: "Senior Zhao, if the incense here is becoming more and more vigorous, and there are no traces of demonic energy, what do you think the cultivation sects will take the liberty of destroying the temple here?"
"There shouldn't be any cultivator who will take the initiative. ”
Senior Zhao put down the wine gourd, and saw that Long Shengtai was quietly preparing to escape, but he just threw out an apple and hit the back of the person's head.
"Senior Zhao, if the people here are instigated to protect the temple, then once the formation is activated, the demonic aura here will overflow, and the magic of the monks in our realm will inevitably be affected. If most of the spells can't be cast, what are the chances of surviving when Senior Zhao encounters a thousand people besieging and killing?"
Xiao Yi connected the dots one by one, and asked out loud as he painted.
"There are only a thousand people, and the old man should still be able to get out of the way. If he was younger, then the old man should have the strength to fight even if he faced two thousand people. ”
Zhao Qianbei's words have a domineering spirit that does not match his age, but people have arrogant capital. Although the uncle found Zhao Qianbei back then mainly to teach Xiao Yi's experience in the rivers and lakes and learn to taste wine by the way, this old man's martial arts attainments are also second to none, so he can show this momentum.
"Senior Zhao is old and strong, and it is naturally easy to deal with one or two thousand people. But if a cultivator doesn't have mana, it's no different from an ordinary person. It is believed that at that time, except for a few sword cultivators who can protect themselves, the rest of them will also be killed by mortals. ”
Zhao Qianbei listened carefully, but he didn't dare to agree with what Xiao Yi said. After all, this kind of thing involves a lot of mortals, how can a few temples have such a great influence?
"Xiao Yi, how many mortals can gather here? If it's really chaos, then it won't be possible to rely on these ordinary people alone!"
Xiao Yi looked up at Senior Zhao, and a trace of sadness gradually appeared in his eyes. After a long time, he said hatefully: "If mortal believers can succeed, I'm afraid my Xiao family will not be remembered." The reason why the Jinghong faction killed my Xiao family that day, and then tried in vain to steal the imperial court, I guess it was because I took a fancy to those armies. Nan Liguo has always been a puppet of the Jinghong faction, and he has long been included in his pocket. The Xiyue Ye family is a dark line of the demon clan, but I don't know if the Eastern Jin Dynasty is involved. Once it is said that the four kingdoms are all under the control of the demon race, then the cultivators of our realm will be strangled by the army when they are unable to exert their mana. Senior Zhao thinks that in this case, what else can I do in the Qingyuan Cultivation Realm?"
"Shocking faction? impossible, right?"
Zhao Qianbei felt that Xiao Yi was a little too sensitive. The destruction of the Xiao family that day was always something that he was worried about. To associate these with the tactics of the demon clan would be a bit too exaggerated.
"Senior Zhao, that day the uncle faced off against the elders of the Jinghong Sect, and this person had already secretly cultivated the Demon Qi Technique. Their head was booby-trapped by Xiao Yat, and he didn't have time to spy on whether he had practiced demonic skills. However, if it is said that the great elders of the hall practiced demonic skills, and the head of the sect did not know about it, Senior Zhao, would you believe it? At the beginning, they did not hesitate to let the world suffer a great drought in order to cause trouble in Beiji. If it weren't for the sacrifice of his father, I'm afraid that the matter of changing the son and eating would have become the norm. ”
As Xiao Yi spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and the bamboo pen that he had originally used to mark was also crushed.
"Okay! Xiao Yi! The Shocking Flood Sect has been exterminated by your Xiao family, and the Zhengqi Pavilion has also been banned by you. Now that this temple has also been discovered by you, speaking of which, the demon race should not have done anything in the Qingyuan Continent. Don't think too much about it, I heard your uncle say that your father is ready to resurrect through his body, and everything will be fine, right?"
Zhao Qianbei handed the wine gourd to Xiao Yi and said with relief.
"Yes, it feels like everything is getting better, but Senior Zhao, the demon clan is currently divided into the main battle faction and the meditation faction. However, the Heavenly Ruler of the Righteous Qi Pavilion has been lurking in my realm for 150,000 years. It was believed that he would not be controlled by the people of the Demon Realm at all, so this kind of invasion of the realm was also his own decision. In order to get Qingyuan, since he can lie dormant for 150,000 years, he definitely doesn't mind waiting for more than 100,000 years. Therefore, many forces in Qingyuan have been secretly controlled by the demons. Now that the Righteous Qi Pavilion has been destroyed for nearly seventy years, there are still people who are bewitching mortals for the rise of the demon race. Does this mean that the Righteous Qi Pavilion is not the only hidden power of the Demon Clan?"
Senior Zhao pondered when he heard this, and finally looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously, and asked worriedly: "In this way, it is likely that these people are not assigned by the Righteous Qi Pavilion?"
Xiao Yi nodded, and then rolled up the map.
"Then let's tear down this temple! ”
Senior Zhao got up, condensed a spiritual qi mass in his hand and prepared to make a move.
"Senior Zhao, since the demon clan wants to make a demon gathering array, then let's help them and let all the temples of these magic circles be built. Go back and find a few trustworthy ones and send them everywhere, and at the same time take action to exterminate all the remnants of this group of demons. When the time comes, relying on this array to gather spiritual energy, it won't be a waste of this opportunity, right?"
Senior Zhao put away his spiritual power when he heard this, but he was still a little uneasy. So he hurriedly reminded: "Xiao Yi, those three people have fallen, will the sect behind them notice that something is wrong......?"
"What if you find out? I turned around and said that it was an old man who came to smash the field, and as a result, both sides were injured, and they all died. Just let them send people again! Are there still fewer people in the cultivation realm who kill each other every year? As long as we don't say that it's the demon clan's troublemakers, no one should notice anything, right?"
When the two of them went back to Ho Ji, they immediately sent people to act separately.
The next day, the whole city of Rain Wave was boiling. Several corpses were found in the newly built temple the day before yesterday, and in addition to the clothes on their bodies, Mr. Long and Lao Dao could be slightly identified, and there were also three corpses that had been gnawed beyond recognition. The rumor of the appearance of the beast suddenly plunged the people of the entire Rain Wave City into fear, and no one dared to go to the mountain after dark. Even in broad daylight, the people had to go out of the city in the company of three or five people, and they had to hold some swords and steel forks in their hands to defend themselves.
Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xiangxue Peak......
"Sect Master, none of the people from Beiji Yubo City have returned, and one of the disciples' Yuan Shen Lantern was also extinguished a few days ago. Shall we send someone over and investigate?"
An old man in a blue robe asked cautiously.
"It's normal for a foundation building disciple to fall. Go back and arrange someone to go over to take a look, and arrange someone to go over as soon as possible about the matter of Beiji Jiaoyuan and Lin Yu. Master Zu's entrustment, we must complete it as soon as possible, in order to comfort his old man's soul in the sky!"
