Chapter 19: Exploring the Pagoda at Night
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
A small black figure cleverly concealed its almost inaudible movements along the direction of the wind, and quickly shuttled through the night, approaching the seven-story jade-colored pagoda in the inner courtyard.
As for the so-called retreat location, regardless of whether the "retreat" is true or not, it will only be in the tower of the inner courtyard, which Qing Wu thinks very clearly: first, if it is true, then the jade pagoda has the effect of condensing spiritual power and accelerating cultivation, and it is definitely the best choice as a retreat place; And Shangguan Lin's son's success rate of poisoning his own father is close to 100%, of course, the premise is that the poison must be of high quality, colorless and tasteless, and cannot be discovered.
Skimming through the blind spots of the patrolling family guards at uncanny angles with incredible angles, before finally leaping gently and tumbling into the wall. Under the hidden ability of the Temple of Fire, Qing Wu's aura did not escape in the slightest, and he dodged into the tower at an extremely fast speed like an invisible person. The whole movement was done in one go, and the breathing was as smooth as before, without the slightest sign of tension.
She has done this no less than a thousand times, and in her previous life, which mission was not infested by the enemy's bodyguards, but also came with various mechanisms, voice-activated early warning systems and even traps, but the result was no failure. Now this kind of lax and low-level defense is simply not enough.
Pouting and letting go of the disdain in his heart, Qing Wu began to look at the scene on the first floor of this jade-colored pagoda: it is estimated that there are more than 100 square meters in the middle of the hexagonal tower, and there is a circle of huts that only allow one person to sit from the inside to the outside, at first glance, I don't know what kind of material it is, but you can see a lot of small red spiritual power attached to the hut, the closer to the center of the hut The more red spiritual power is attached to the surface, the more intense, obviously, the materials of these huts also have the effect of gathering spiritual power, and the further to the middle, the higher the spiritual power. And there's another important point: this is just the first layer. So what about the second, third, and even seventh layers?
Under such conditions, as long as you are not an idiot, there is no doubt about cultivating a spirit person, and even a spirit master, spirit master, and spirit sect have no problem. However, there are not a few spirit masters in the Shangguan family of Nuoda, and the few remaining ones are almost all old men who are over half a hundred years old, and his grandfather Shangguan Su seems to be the peak of the ninth order of the spirit master, and it is precisely because of his existence that he will not be ranked last among the seven major families. And the most outstanding of the young children of this generation are Shangguan Yue and Shangguan Yan. Qing Wu was very depressed, could it be that the qualifications of the people here were so rubbish?
Putting away his thoughts, the dancing cat body entered the door on the side, and climbed the stairs, which must be the passage to the second floor.
As expected, there are many fewer rooms than on the first floor. And it seems that when you enter the door of the second floor, it seems that the spiritual power in your body has accelerated a little. Qing Wu took a few breaths, and the small air mass on the lotus flower turned several times excitedly. From this point of view, each layer may have a limit on people's strength, and if you enter a tower layer that is too much higher than your own level, you are likely to explode and die because there is too much spiritual power to circulate and absorb. However, for the Qing Dance with the Temple of Fire, these prohibitions do not exist at all, as long as the spiritual power is applied to the Temple of Fire.
Soon, Qing Wu reached the fourth layer, and it stands to reason that all the people who can be here are spirit masters. However, because Shangguan Su is the peak of the ninth-order spirit master, it is most likely to be at the fifth layer, and if he is under house arrest, he will not be placed in a place where there are still so many people.
Qing Wu turned around and prepared to climb to the fifth floor.
Suddenly, the door of a hut shook, and a subtle creak was heard. Then another door opened.
When Qing Wu heard the sound, she immediately pulled out and entered the vacant hut with the "No Man" sign hanging on the side, leaving a small crack in the door, hiding in a corner and paying attention to the movement outside the door.
"Acting family master, it seems that the word 'agent' will be removed soon, congratulations!" Shangguan Jin's voice resounded throughout the fourth floor.
"This is also thanks to the help of the Great Elders, now that the other elders have been sent to discuss the secret realm vision with the other major families, we can take this opportunity to take over the family with the old man's family head token, and after the matter is completed, the two places that will go to Yunnuo Academy this year are your family Yue'er and my family Nan'er. Shangguan Lin said.
"Haha, okay, as long as you say it, I'll help you. Shangguan Jin smiled with satisfaction.
"Yunnuo Academy, I haven't heard of it, but since it can make a generation of elders betray the current family master for this place, it shouldn't be easy, so you can go and see it in the future." Qing Wu thought to herself.
"I'm only a second-order spirit master, and I can't go to the fifth layer yet, so I have to rely on the Great Elder for the next step. ”
"Okay, I'll go up and have a look now. ”
Soon there was only one Shangguan Lin left on the fourth floor, who was pacing back and forth.
Qing Wu was still hidden in the hut, listening to the movement outside through the crack in the door. sneered in his heart: These two goods also think that the old man is too simple, to be the head of a big family, which is not an old fox, if you 'see' you can 'see' the token out, where to put that person's face, two fools!
As expected, after a while, Shangguan's angry voice came: "This old man is so ignorant! ”
"Okay, I'll increase the amount of medicine tomorrow. ”
The sound of the two footsteps gradually disappeared, but Qing Wu still did not move, and only came out from behind the door after about a stick of incense, and quickly marched to the fifth floor.
Passing through the barrier that was a little hazy because the spiritual power was too condensed, an old man with gray hair appeared in front of him, although he didn't know how old he was, but there were not many wrinkles on his face, but his face was a little dark, it should be because of poisoning, his appearance was somewhat similar to his father in his memory, but Shangguan Lin couldn't see his shadow. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was conditioning his body. Kiyo sat and waited under the cover of the Temple of Fire.
Watching Shangguan Su exhale a mouthful of black poisonous gas, his eyes slowly opened, and he was obviously taken aback the moment he saw Qing Wu, and then a look of relief flashed on his face, and he said with a smile: "Wu'er, you are here." ”
"Tell me, what's going on. Although she knew that there might be a reason for this grandfather's disregard over the years, Qing Wu still couldn't let go of it in her heart, after all, the original Shangguan Qing Wu would not die if he protected her, even if she just sent a secret guard to watch her. Now that I have borrowed her body to return, I have to get some things back on her behalf.
Shangguan Su's face showed a wry smile, and then said, "It's grandpa who is sorry for you all these years. After Han'er left, I was poisoned by Shangguan Lin, the name of the poison is 'Thousand Puppets', as the name suggests, it is to use guò poison to control a humanoid puppet, can you imagine that a son would poison his father like this? After that, I was imprisoned here by Shangguan Jin and Shangguan Lin. However, they missed a trick, when I found out that I was poisoned, I took the three-pin pill 'Qing Poison Pill' that I hid for emergencies, although it could not completely eradicate the toxin, but it also solved part of the poison, but my strength was greatly reduced, I am afraid that I am not Shangguan Jin's opponent, so I will count the plan to practice detoxification here, and my strength will be restored in a few days. You have been wronged all these years, and I will get it back for you. ”
