Chapter 45: Secret Alliances
Lin Lan couldn't help but smile, looked at him and said, "You are so confident in me?" Are you sure I'll be able to figure it out? ”
Helian Qiqing said suddenly: "I don't know about others, don't I know your skills?" It's just a matter of time, and it's a big joke to say you can't figure it out! ”
Lin Lan pursed her lips and smiled, thought about it and said, "You said that you are saying this as the young master of the Ghost Xia Sect, does that mean that your current behavior represents the entire Ghost Xia Sect?" If that's the case, I really can't be the master of this matter, you have to talk to our sect master! ”
Helian Qiqing smiled indifferently and said, "It should be like this." However, they were secretive and refused to admit that you were doing this, so I naturally have no reason to say the true purpose of this trip. Now that we've talked about it, the next thing is naturally the negotiation between the two of us. It is not only your sect that knows your ability, the so-called seeers have a share, and our Ghost Xia Sect should also be able to mix a foot in it. ”
Lin Lan didn't mind, waved his hand and said, "I don't care, you just need to discuss it with the sect master." Okay, that's pretty much it, it's time for me to go back, I've been delayed for a while! ”
Helian Qiqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that you would eat together?" ”
Lin Lan smiled dumbly and said, "You mean it really? ”
Helian Qiqing smiled strangely and said, "That's nature. Since we returned to the Tian Yuan Continent, we have divided our things. But the friendship of life and death in the past is always there, and now that there is an opportunity, how can it not be born and float? ”
He was pure uneasy kindness.
The more Qi Xia Yuanjun and Shen Mutian wanted to conceal Lin Lan's abilities and what they were doing now, the more he wanted to provoke them. Especially Shen Mutian, who opposes him everywhere, how can he be willing to take revenge? And what revenge is more relieving than tying himself to Lin Lan with his previous friendship? Let them go, who said that they didn't go with them when they were in the other world. Only he and Lin Lan are "dependent on each other"?
Lin Lan thought about it, but she didn't refuse, but said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to call the spirit wanderer as well." You don't know what to say, since he came here, after being asked to leave by the people of Honglu Peak, he decisively abandoned me, and now he is happy on Honglu Peak, and he has forgotten which peak he is! ”
She complained half-truthfully.
Helian Qiqing's smile couldn't help but stagnate, he didn't expect Lin Lan to have this hand. He had to admit that the excuse was really good. After all, it was he who said that he wanted to make a big deal about the things on the Tianxuan Continent, and it was not only the two of them who returned here from the Tianxuan Continent at the beginning, if they didn't call the Spirit Wanderer, how could they celebrate?
He actually didn't care about the life or death of the Spirit Wanderer, seeing that he had been in the Ethereal Immortal Sect for so many days, he didn't ask about the situation of the Spirit Wanderer. So he didn't want the spirit wanderer to come over. It's just that since Lin Lan said so, he can't refuse. Otherwise, wouldn't you be beating yourself in the mouth?
So he could only keep his mouth shut. watched Lin Lan send a transmission note to Lingyouzi, and after a while, he received Lingyouzi's reply.
If it were someone else, the spirit wanderer who was now indulging in the ocean of alchemy would definitely not be too lazy to deal with it, but Lin Lan was the one who brought him here after all, and he was a companion who had lived and died together, so he still had to give this little face. So I had to put down the research I was doing, and the answer came quickly.
He didn't know at all that Helian Qiqing didn't welcome him to join.
The speed of the transmission note was much greater than that of the teleportation array, so before the Spirit Wanderer arrived, Lin Lan and the others had already heard this reply. Helian Qiqing pursed his lips. Secretly blamed the spirit wanderer for not knowing the current affairs, but he didn't say much. Lin Lan was already thinking about where it would be better to eat, after all, they no longer cared about their appetites, and it didn't matter if the food was good or bad, the important thing was to eat an atmosphere.
Helian Qiqing smiled and said, "Why do you have such a headache? Wouldn't it be okay to go directly to your Feng Kuo Peak? I'm sure someone there should be someone there who can cook, right? ”
The reason why he is so sure is that there are still relatives and friends brought by Lin Lan from the Nether Realm? People from the lower realms are not to mention anything else, and if you talk about the lifestyle of mortals, they are definitely no worse than those born and raised in the upper realm, and they can even be said to be much higher.
Lin Lan thought about it, and then nodded. After a while, the spirit wanderer came, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little funny when they saw him. I saw that his whole body was in a mess, presumably because he was addicted to refining, not only his clothes were torn and dirty, but also his face was covered with black ash, almost covering his entire face, and I don't know if it was because of the explosion oven to become like this?
Seeing their expressions, Ling Youzi couldn't help but touch his cheek with his hand, and he couldn't help but laugh at once. Looking at Lin Lan and them, he smiled wryly: "This...... Obsessed with refining weapons, so it's rude. ”
Lin Lan sighed and shook her head, "You...... Forget it, wash up when you go back, and then go to drink and eat. ”
Ling Youzi nodded, and there was no objection, and the three of them returned to Fengqi Peak.
On the same day, Lin Lan really did the east, and set up a banquet on Fengqi Peak to entertain Helian Qiqing, and the accompanying guest was Lingyouzi. The three of them were all cultivators, and they could easily force the alcohol out of their bodies, so this drink was a whole day. Huang Wu bought almost all the spirit wine he could buy, but this spirit wine was not produced much, and it was really not enough later, so he could only use the wine that ordinary mortals drank to make up the number. Lin Lan and the others did not refuse, no one said anything, and drank happily with the wine jar.
Shen Mutian didn't appear on this day, but when Lin Lan returned to the underground palace the next day, his face was a little unsightly, who had been waiting there. Lin Lan looked at him strangely and asked, "Senior Brother Shen, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with you? ”
Shen Mutian shook his head, looked at her deeply, but didn't say anything.
"The Ghost Xia Sect wants to come over and get a piece of the pie?" He digressed and asked.
Lin Lan nodded and said, "Helian Qiqing has this meaning. He knew about it, and it was indeed his great credit that I was able to come back, and we couldn't turn it away. ”
Shen Mutian nodded and said, "Although he did his best to help you return, it was also for himself, but after all, he owed him a favor, and we couldn't help but pay it back." Now I am glad that there are only two of us who know this matter, and if there are a few more, they will be so angry that they will vomit blood. ”
Lin Lan couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said, looked at him and said, "Actually, the sect doesn't have to worry so much, after all, our cultivation path is different from theirs, as far as my observation in the Tianxuan Continent this time, it seems that the cultivators of their Demon Dao are not able to eat in every place, at least in the Tianxuan Continent, they are at an absolute disadvantage, and they are so pressed by the Righteous Dao Sect that they can't raise their heads." In this way, even if we go to the otherworldly realm at the same time, it is difficult to say who will get what to gain. ”
Shen Mutian raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "If this is really the case, it would be great!" Senior sister, when will you see when this array will be ready? ”
Lin Lan frowned, thought for a while, and said: "It's not easy to restore the entire teleportation array, this teleportation array is different from ours, it's complicated many times, it's good that I can build the formation in a year, if I'm unlucky, it won't even take two or three years or later to have results." In addition, how to drive this teleportation array will take a lot of research, and it will take at least another year or two, plus the training of the people who operate the formation...... I don't think it would take five or six years for this teleportation array to really work. ”
Shen Mutian couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect this seemingly simple thing to be so complicated, so he sighed deeply, looked at Lin Lan and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, the master and they did not force it, you just do it step by step, don't worry too much about the rest, everything is up to me." ”
Lin Lan nodded, he really didn't care about those messy mundane affairs, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to, so he plunged into the research and construction of the teleportation array again.
And how Helian Qiqing bargained with Qixia Yuanjun and others, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it. In short, the result was that the Ethereal Immortal Sect agreed to study this cross-continent teleportation array with the Ghost Xia Sect, of course, the Ghost Xia Sect could not sit back and enjoy the results, half of the money required for this research would be paid by the Ghost Xia Sect, and after the success, the two families would share the use time of the teleportation array equally, so as not to cause injustice.
Although Helian Qiqing was the young master of the Ghost Xia Sect, he still didn't dare to assert himself about these matters, and deliberately told his father the results of the negotiation between the two sides, and waited for the order of the sect master of the Ghost Xia Sect to come before he officially signed an alliance with the Ethereal Immortal Sect.
Although the cultivation realm pursues the respect of the strong, it is not completely desireless, ruthless and unintentional, and there are many alliances for interests and feelings, but most of them are alliances between fellow sects and monks. However, this time, the other righteous path sects were completely ignorant of the Dao, and the Ethereal Immortal Sect, which was the head of the Righteous Dao sect, and the Ghost Xia Sect, the leader of the Demon Dao sect, had secretly formed an alliance without stopping.
These news are just a passing moment for Lin Lan, she knew in her previous life that there are no absolute friends or absolute enemies in the Dao, and it is just a matter of interests between friends and foes, she really has no interest in the righteous path or the demon path, as long as she can find her way home, no matter what the path is, it is good.
Because she was so focused on the teleportation array, she just took a little free time to cultivate, and almost put down her business. Fortunately, Shen Mutian would go to the underground palace from time to time, remind her to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, seize the time to cultivate, and forcibly pull her out of the palace to walk around, so that she would not neglect the really important things.
