Chapter 033: Puzzle
Thousand Crane Hall Crane Peak
The night was already deep, and the dark clouds rolled over the waning moon that was struggling in the cracks, and the only light source had been lost, and the heavens and the earth seemed extremely dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a chess table on the mahogany table in the room, and the long candles on the two white porcelain ice cracked candlesticks were already more than half lit, and the candles were swaying gently. One person sat on the Taishi chair on the left side of the chessboard and twisted a white chess piece, without raising his head to speak.
"It's all here, what are you still doing standing outside, waiting for me to invite you in?"
"I haven't seen you for so many years, but I'm still in a hurry to send it to the door, and I won't let you open that golden mouth and invite me, I'm thankful." The visitor quietly pushed open the door and walked into the room, still with a little damp smell of night dew.
"Nonsense, you hid yourself in such a small place for decades, and you blamed me?" After thinking about it for a long time, he put the white child in his hand to a place where he was very satisfied, and then the old man raised his head and looked at the person who came to blow his beard, looking quite dissatisfied. "I finally heard the wind, so I thought I would come out and ask me?"
"What the hell do you guys think, old madman?" The person who came sat on the Taishi chair opposite the old man, it was Ji Dan who said that he was going out during the day. He was not polite, took the teapot on the table, poured himself a full cup and drank it in one gulp. "Brain in water? This session of the hundred doors asked to open the Shadow Gate? ”
"Phew, how many times have I told me not to call me an old madman. I warned you not to ignore anything even if you live in seclusion, but now you know that something is coming to me? "After taking the teapot where Ji Dan had just poured a cup of tea, the old man poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly." Why do you think I'm retiring at the top of this crane peak? ”
"...... they?"
"Hmph, if I hadn't had so many disciples, I'm afraid I would......" The old man's eyes tightened. Someone's coming. ”
Ji Dan didn't answer, and his figure didn't move, but his figure disappeared in a few breaths, and there was no trace of existence. The old man showed a little smile in his eyes, but his face was as usual, and he only twisted a white chess piece and stared at the chessboard.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and without waiting for the old man to answer, he only waited for half a breath before pushing the door in.
"I've seen Heyan Zhenjun."
Although the mouth of the visitor was respectful, he did not do any courtesy.
"Since there are no outsiders, why are you pretending to be with me here?" The old man didn't raise his head. The visitor didn't feel embarrassed, but only glanced around, his eyes froze slightly, and his eyes were immediately locked on the teacup on the other side of the table.
"It seems that Zhenjun has a guest today."
"Why, you've imprisoned me here for so many years, and now you don't even allow me to drink myself?" Playing the white chess piece in his hand, the old man's face did not change, but his voice was already cold to the freezing point.
Zhenjun laughed. I didn't send you this month's ...... That's it? The visitor glanced at the empty seat, but did not say anything all, but only took out a small jade bottle from the sleeve of his robe and put it on the table, and then turned around and left. The things were delivered, and the subordinates retired. ”
The old man never raised his head from beginning to end, and he did not speak again after the visitor had gone for a long time with a cup of tea.
"This person is very cautious, he hasn't left until now, and he is still watching you." The air fluctuated faintly, the old man's eyelids moved, and the same fluctuations were transmitted back.
"I've been trapped here by them for decades."
"What poison?"
"Xuansheng."
Ji Dan gasped. He knew that his old fellow would never be easily controlled by others, and when he saw that the person left the jade bottle, he guessed that it was not far from ten, but he didn't expect that it was Xuansheng, who claimed to be able to poison immortals.
"Give me time, I can solve it."
"The dose is not too large, and I will have no problem holding it for a few hundred years. It's you. Glancing up at the dark window, the old man continued to maintain a fluctuating transmission. This time the Hundred Doors Discussion is the beginning, and they are ready to do it. ”
“…… I know. ”
"Mingxin Pavilion, you don't have to go again, I'm afraid she's not there anymore. If you have time, go to Kunlun, where the situation is much better than mine. ”
"Take care."
"I can't die. It's easy to restrain me, you want my life to be quiet, hum. The old man's eyes narrowed. They were thousands of years earlier. ”
The fluctuations in the air gradually subsided, and the old man still sat in front of the chessboard and clicked his white pieces, as if nothing had happened.
The night was getting deeper.

The East Huaifeng of the Shadow Gate
"From now on, it's good for you to receive the monthly order here. However, the monthly cases that disciples can lead during the Qi cultivation period are pitiful, and those cultivation resources that your righteous father gave you are thousands of times more than this monthly case, why do you still have to come to receive them? Xuan Fu smiled helplessly.
Ever since she knew that the disciples who had officially entered the school could receive the monthly order, Jiang Ying pestered him every day to get it. thought that Jiang Ying was fresh, and he could only bring her to get it once.
"Of course! No matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat, so why don't you take the money for nothing. Looking at the long queue of people in front of her, Jiang Ying was thinking about her own little abacus. Even if it is ten lower-grade spirit stones and a little pill per month for a disciple in the Qi cultivation period, it is a lot of wealth to save more.
After waiting for a long time, she finally got in line, and the registered steward disciple didn't raise his head. "Which peak, name, realm."
"Ning Jian Jiang Ying, cultivation in the middle of Qi cultivation."
"Ning Jian?!" The steward disciple looked up in surprise and glanced at the turquoise and gold-encrusted belt around her waist, which confirmed her identity.
"How can Uncle Xiao deign to line up to receive the monthly example." The disciple in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead. Didn't this little uncle know that there was a high-level disciple collection place in the pavilion next to him, so he didn't have to queue up?
"I don't know, it's the first time I've received a monthly order. Isn't it here? Jiang Ying blinked and looked curiously at the register on the desktop.
"It's here, it's here, and you can get it here, but Uncle Xiao is an apprentice of Elder Taishang, and next time you can go to the pavilion next to you to get it, you don't have to queue up, it's very fast." The steward disciple took out a pocket. "This is your spirit stone month, five high-grade spirit stones. Elixir and elixir, if necessary, you can go to the pavilion and choose again. ”
"Oh, then I'll get the spirit stone first. Thank you. "Being a disciple of the master for a month can actually white-collar five high-grade spirit stones! It's really a big profit! Jiang Ying happily took the spirit stone and put it away, not forgetting to thank you.
"Where is the little uncle, send off the little uncle." The disciples in charge didn't expect Jiang Ying to be so easy to speak, without the slightest arrogance of an elder disciple. Jiang Ying was about to go back with Xuan, not wanting a familiar and sneering voice ringing in her ears.
"It's just that a small Qi cultivation disciple is relying on the master's favor to lead the monthly example of the Yuanying disciple, if you let the foreign faction know, I'm afraid you won't laugh off your big teeth."
This high-pitched and fiery voice will never be forgotten once you hear it. Jiang Ying turned around, and sure enough, it was Nan Xue who had made her sad in the Xinya Pavilion Canteen a few months ago.
"What did Senior Sister Nanxue say, but you should call me Uncle Xiao now, right?" Jiang Ying hooked the corners of her mouth and looked at Nan Xue with interest, but she didn't want the other party to feel embarrassed by it.
"Why don't you call you Uncle Junior? The so-called peerless talent, three months is only the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and there is no rapid cultivation of ordinary disciples like me. Nanxue's eyes became more and more sharp, and she glanced at Xuanfu on the side. A genius with no name, worshipping a half-waste master, followed by a fool who can't even cultivate, or was forcibly fed by the elixir to achieve the golden pill, you Ning Jian is really a nest of relatives. ”
"Nanxue." Jiang Ying's face turned completely cold, and she squinted her eyes slightly and looked directly at Nanxue. "You try it again?"
