Chapter 364: Urging
Ye Zitong entered the Xue Family's Keqing Hall and beautifully showed his unique skill in making talismans, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks anymore.
After some inquiry, Ye Zitong thoroughly touched the strength of the entire Xue family.
The Xue family has a total of three great monks in the foundation building period, all of whom were cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. Xue Wantao, the head of the Snow family, has built the second floor of the foundation, and is already over eighty years old this year, but he looks like he is only in his fifties. There is also one is Xue Xueji's fourth uncle, Xue Sun Bai, who just built the foundation a few months before Xue Ling'er came back, and is also in his sixties this year, Ye Zitong has seen it once, and his impression is good, he is a simple and straightforward old man. As for the third one, I haven't seen it, I heard that it is the ancestor of Xue Wantao's previous generation, the cultivation of the third layer of the foundation, and he has been in retreat for many years, and many people say that he is likely to have sat in the retreat room.
Among the younger generation of the entire Xue family, there are a total of eight people, five men and three women. The eldest Xue Qianqi, who has only practiced the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi in his forties, is the son of the third uncle's family, and it is not surprising that he should have broken the hope of building a foundation in this life. The second, Xue Lingfeng, that is, the one Ye Zitong saw at the city gate, the eldest son of Xue Gongsun, is twenty-seven or eighteen years old this year, and he is a ninth-level cultivator of Qi training, and he is also the most promising child of the Xue family in recent years. The third child, Xue Yumei, is the only daughter of Xue Sun Bai, twenty-four years old, and has been added to a small Xiuzhen family in Lingxiao City. The other three men, namely Xue Xueli, Xue Wendao, and Xue Tianyu, are all cultivators of the fifth or sixth level of Qi training, because they are still young, and their spiritual roots are not satisfactory. It is also valued by the family.
The patriarch Xue Gongsun also has a daughter named Xue Yujie. The ground-level water and soil twin spirit roots are seventeen years old like Xue Ling'er, but they also have the cultivation of the eighth layer of qi.
And Xue Ling'er. is also the most eye-catching figure in the younger generation of the Xue family, her father, Xue Qingtian, used to be the best child of the Xue Gongsun's generation, the Heavenly Rank Golden Spiritual Root. At the age of twenty-five, he is the next patriarch of the Xue family, but he is in the middle of a trip. I got acquainted with a woman with the four systems of water, fire, civil and engineering, and the yellow order spiritual root. Xue Qingtian ignored the opposition of his elders, and insisted on marrying this girl as a double cultivator, and then gave birth to Xue Ling'er, who had the Five Elements Spirit Root.
This kind of constitution is the source of trouble. Under the protection of my father. Xue Ling'er still grew up safely and happily. However, on Xue Ling'er's fifteenth birthday, Xue Gongsun suddenly proposed to marry Xue Ling'er to his son, and Xue Qingtian naturally would not agree. The two brothers were very unhappy about this matter.
Afterward. Xue Qingtian was on the way to run an errand. fell unexpectedly, and Xue Gongsun naturally sat in the position of the assertion. Then, Xue Ling'er escaped from the Xue family with her mother. A few years later, she actually came back by herself, and her cultivation had grown rapidly from the original fourth layer of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training.
Xue Ling'er's return this time, what exactly she wants to do has become the talk of those monks of the Xue family after tea and dinner.
It was said. Xue Ling'er came back to seek justice for her father; Some people also said that Xue Ling'er was almost sold outside. It's better to think about it than family. It was back to seek refuge; There are even more gossips, saying that Xue Ling'er and Xue Gu'er have no guesses. Childhood sweetheart, she has a marriage contract for a long time, and she came back to prepare for the marriage of her second son.
Ye Zitong didn't care about this, she just wanted to find out the news of the spirit stone vein. However, no matter how much you knock on the side, you can't get any news about it.
The entire Xue family was completely like an ordinary small and medium-sized cultivation family, and the spirit stones distributed to the disciples for cultivation were also extremely limited, except for Xue Sun Bai's unexpected breakthrough a few months ago, there was nothing suspicious.
That night, Ye Zitong was resting on his bed, when suddenly there was a sound of tiles moving overhead.
Then a slender black shadow fell silently.
Ye Zitong pretended to meditate with his eyes closed, not noticing at all, but on his right hand in the robe, he pinched a middle-level fire rain talisman.
The dark shadow approached silently.
When he was less than half a meter away, Ye Zitong's eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted coldly: "What person? ”
"Ye Zitong, it's me." Xue Ling'er saw that Ye Zitong was about to shoot at her, and immediately stopped her.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing Xue Ling'er dressed in a dark tight night suit, Ye Zitong pursed her lips, "This is your home, you can walk through the door if you want to." ”
"Stop talking nonsense." Xue Ling'er took off the black veil that covered her mouth and nose, said angrily, and then took out a sheepskin-like drawing and spread it on the table.
"This is the blueprint of the Xue Family's Treasure Pavilion, I want to go there tonight to investigate."
"You don't want me to go with you, do you?" Ye Zitong yawned, a little helpless, but he also happened to go to find out if the Xue family had gone to steal spirit stones.
Xue Ling'er immediately put on an expression that you understand, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to borrow a few hidden talismans from you, if you insist on going with me, I don't mind, the two of you are safer." ”
threw her a roll of the eyes, obviously getting cheap and selling well.
The two of them each posted a hidden charm and slipped out quietly.
Xue Ling'er pulled Ye Zitong to a small garden, moved away a wooden shelf for empty flower pots, and pressed hard three times on a brick that didn't look unusual against the wall below, with a soft "pop", but the intact stone floor suddenly turned over, revealing a black and slimy passage.
The two glanced at each other, Xue Ling'er didn't say much, took out a night pearl that emitted white light with a single move, and quickly led the way in front without saying a word.
This tunnel is only worthy of two people passing side by side, without any decoration, and without any forks in the road, about two incense sticks in the time less, to the end, Xue Ling'er on the side of the tunnel wall pressed the motive, after walking up, but in a granary where a lot of rice grain is stored.
Seeing such a scene, Ye Zitong was not surprised, after all, there were many mortal servants in this Xue family, and they still had to consume a lot of rice and grain a year.
But when Xue Ling'er pushed the door open, Ye Zitong was taken aback.
As far as the eye could see, there was a pool of fiery magma. Standing outside the door but not feeling the hot breath, it should be isolated by a special formation. In the magma pool, red bubbles tumble from time to time. The heat wave made the whole space feel a little distorted.
Looking at Ye Zitong's frightened expression, Xue Ling'er suddenly smiled a little proudly: "What a coward, this is just an illusion of the formation." ”
"This is our Snow Family's Red Rock Fire Array. This kind of circle cannot be broken unless the caster puts away the array flag himself, or forcibly destroys the array eye where the array flag is located. And as soon as you enter this formation, you will immediately be sensed by the person who set up the formation. Xue Ling'er said again.
"What then?" Ye Zitong looked at the churning magma like boiling water. frowned.
Xue Ling'er nodded, revealing a hint of solemnity: "I have only prepared a talisman that can pass through this formation, you don't wait three feet away from me." Otherwise, you're going to explain to my uncle how you ended up here. ”
Activating an earthy yellow talisman, Xue Ling'er raised her feet and walked into the door, and Ye Zitong hurriedly followed. I saw a cloud of dusty yellow gas instantly diffuse out, forming a yellow eggshell-like shape outside the two of them.
Lift your foot and land on the lava pool. But there is no imaginary scene of being burned or sunk deeply. Rather, it is no different from walking on flat ground.
Following behind Xue Ling'er, turning around, Ye Zitong cautiously walked through the magma pool, entered a hall, and then walked forward about ten steps, Ye Zitong's eyes lit up, but he found that he was already in front of a wide staircase, Ye Zitong turned his head. only to find that the magma pool behind it has disappeared.
Follow Xue Ling'er quietly up the stairs, and soon came to the end of the stairs. Two vermilion gates appeared in front of Ye Zitong.
Next to the gate are these two emerald green potted plants.
Ye Zitong was about to go up and push the door, but was pulled back by Xue Ling'er.
"Don't move, these two are not ordinary potted plants, they are pothos. This pothos can sense the aura of the monk, and if it weren't for the monks who often come here, as soon as they touch the two gates, they will be entangled by these two plants. ”
When Ye Zitong carefully observed these two pothos, Xue Ling'er was already prepared, took out a bottle without changing her face, first poured out a dark brown pill from it, and then flicked it with her fingers. This elixir accurately fell into the potted green plant closest to the two of them.
I saw that as soon as this pill fell into the soil, it immediately began to melt, and then seeped into the soil.
Then another one fell into another potted plant as well.
"Alright, now we can open the door." Xue Ling'er nodded, showing a confident expression, and pushed open the door.
In an instant, all kinds of brilliance flowed, and what caught the eyes of the two of them was a large area of spirit stones, piled up on the ground one by one, like worthless stones.
Ye Zitong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, judging from Guanghua, many of them were high-grade spirit stones.
It seems that this Xue family is really stealing spirit stone mines, otherwise it would be impossible for a small and medium-sized family like the Xue family to have so many spirit stone reserves.
Xue Ling'er, who was standing on the side, was also taken aback, she never knew that her family was so rich, her father once told her that the entire Xue family's spirit stone reserves were only hundreds of thousands, and there were at least millions of spirit stones here, could it be that the Xue family was not as familiar as she knew, and there was a strong background behind it? Thinking of this, Xue Ling'er's face was difficult to look at.
Sure that there was no one else here, Ye Zitong and Xue Ling'er withdrew the hidden talisman and shuttled through the spirit stone mountain, and the two of them were shocked, but they also had their own thoughts.
"If you want to be discovered by that old fellow of Xue Gongsun, you can move all these spirit stones now." Xue Ling'er suddenly said coldly.
Ye Zitong seemed to be broken by the Tao, and his face turned red. She is not a greedy person for money on weekdays, but in front of so many spirit stones, it is inevitable that she will have some thoughts.
Sighing lightly, Ye Zitong glanced at the white-flowered Lingshi Mountain with some regret, and followed Xue Ling'er to continue walking forward.
Walking through the Spirit Stone Hall, a half-volley corridor appeared in front of him.
After carefully clearing the corridor, a pale golden curtain of light stood in front of the two of them.
Xue Ling'er sneered, her sharp nails slashed on her palm, and a row of blood beads flew out, and then as she completed a spell, this row of blood beads turned into a red rune and hit the pale golden light curtain, only to see that after this pale golden light curtain flashed, a gap appeared in front of the two of them.
After passing through this gap, the two of them had already arrived at the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion, and the three floors were all placed with some martial arts and magic books, Ye Zitong flipped through a few volumes at random, most of them were ordinary yellow-level goods, and even the worldly martial arts cheats were used to fill the number. Only on the last few shelves, two or three volumes of Xuanjie exercises were placed on them, and they were treated as treasures, and many prohibitions were set up around them.
It seems that the nouveau riche is the nouveau riche, Ye Zitong shook his head disapprenorantly, even if there are more spirit stones, there is still no way to compare with those big families that have been inherited for thousands of years.
Xue Ling'er glanced at these shelves, and with a disdainful expression on her face, she pulled Ye Zitong and walked forward quickly.
The two quickly went up to the fourth floor, and there was nothing special about it. There was just an ordinary bronze lock hanging on the door, there was no spiritual light, just like an ordinary copper lock used to close the door and lock the door in the world, Ye Zitong saw that Xue Ling'er was slow to move, she hesitated for a moment, and was about to cast a spell to open the lock.
"Don't move." Xue Ling'er let out a low voice, and then pulled Ye Zitong away and walked back.
"You" Ye Zitong was a little strange.
"That lock can only be opened with a key, and if you break it with mana, it will burst open immediately." Xue Ling'er's face was calm, and she couldn't see joy or sorrow.
"What about the key?"
"In the hands of that old fellow of Snow Gongsun." Xue Ling'er's face turned pale. As if thinking of something, anger ignited in the bright eyes, "This key was originally a token of the patriarch that the Xue family has been inheriting. ”
Ye Zitong suddenly understood. It seems that Xue Ling'er did come back to get a treasure in the clan, and this treasure is in the fourth floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Also, her father's death may not be a simple accident, it is likely to be related to the current Xue family patriarch.
The two quietly touched Ye Zitong's residence again.
"What's next for you?" Ye Zitong stared at Xue Ling'er fixedly and asked.
"Xue Gongsun is ready to do something to me." Xue Ling'er was expressionless and her tone was flat. As if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "There will be a good show to watch soon." (To be continued......)
