461, drive out
Xu and Ji hit it off, and Frozen Hetan started construction vigorously.
Ji Liangcai said to the ancestor of the Xu family: "That old fox of the Yuan family, although he has not gone out for many years, who dares to underestimate him? And now there is a little fox, even if the heat is insufficient, it should not be underestimated. Instead of hiding it, it is better to be grandiose, our three major families have been interdependent for so many years, as long as they can't pull their faces down on the surface, it will be easy to do. ”
The ancestor of the Xu family didn't have so many fancy intestines, but he was not stupid, and after a little thought, he agreed to this method. What else can you do if you don't agree? The Yuan family now has two yuan babies, and he and Ji Liangcai are fighting each other, doesn't that let the Yuan family sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? The Yuan family has reined in their edge for so many years, and neither he nor Ji Liangcai believes that they are really pure and harmless.
When Yuan Zhengyang learned the news, his jaw almost dropped, and he hurried to the cultivation room of the ancestor of the Yuan family.
"Old Ancestor, Xu Old Ghost ...... them"
The ancestor of the Yuan family was pondering, and when he heard this, he said, "I already know about this matter. "As the head of the Yuan family, he has his own eyes and ears.
Yuan Zhengyang sat down in front of him, his voice anxious: "Ancestor, what should you do about this?" ”
In this matter, the ancestor of the Yuan family also had a headache. They originally thought that the Yuan family was the most leisurely, watching the Xu and Ji families come up with their own means, and when they found the treasure, they would start to snatch it. Unexpectedly, Ji Liangcai was much more decisive than they imagined, and actually found the Xu family to join forces. In this way, it is really difficult for them to rob with their hands.
"You can't underestimate anyone!" The ancestor of the Yuan family sighed, "I thought that this matter was all under our control, but I didn't expect such a mistake to occur." ”
Yuan Zhengyang's face was also very heavy. The ancestor lived in seclusion for many years. The basis for coping and judging comes from his observations. He thought he had seen Ji Liangcai through, but when he came to the end, he found out. Ji Liangcai was more cunning than he thought.
After thinking for a while, the ancestor of the Yuan family said in a deep voice: "This matter can't be left to them. We have to be involved. ”
Yuan Zhengyang was taken aback: "Ancestor! "That is the legacy of the ancestors of the Xu and Ji families, the Yuan family made a move, and the reason is a little untenable, and it is not good to say.
The ancestor of the Yuan family said: "Why did Ji Xiaogui come up with this idea? Don't you think we can't pull down our faces? He didn't know that we had already made up our minds to rob the treasure afterwards. In that case, what reputation is there to consider? The reputation of robbing treasures afterwards is probably even more unpleasant. ”
Yuan Zhengyang thought about it. Agree with the ancestor. Although the treasure is the legacy of the Xu and Ji families, it has been lost for thousands of years, and it is reasonable to insist that there is no owner. Competing for opportunities is such a thing, you have to tear your face anyway, what kind of face do you care? The two Yuan babies of the Yuan family are not just watching.
So, shortly after this conversation ended, the head of the Yuan family appeared in Frozen Crane Pond.
Although the Xu and Ji families were unwilling, the Yuan family made it clear that they were oppressive with power. What else could they do? It's nothing more than.
Lingyu was a little stunned when she heard that things had come to this point. I've been doing it for so long, but I've come to this point.
It's okay, things are on the table. It's best for her. Next, just wait for the results, if there is no result, the three will inevitably relax their caution. When the time came, she continued to look for strange stones.
Time passed slowly in waiting, and months passed in the blink of an eye.
Lingyu's recent days have been very leisurely. Ever since Xuan Gongzi discovered his new hobby. His furnaces are trying their best to win favor, and they don't have time to bother her. She buried herself in cultivation. Instead, he mastered a few spells more roundly.
"Draw disciples?" Lingyu looked at Xu Wenxuan, who had a blank expression in front of him, "What do you mean?" ”
Xu Wenxuan replied stiffly: "The family has decided to send disciples to conduct a long-term search of Frozen Crane Pond. ”
Lingyu asked a few more questions, and finally figured out what was going on.
The area around Frozen Crane Pond has been searched by their ancestors for decades, and now that they are searching, how can they find that strange treasure all at once? After several months of searching, the three great families found nothing.
But the frozen Hetan was too cold, and the qi refining disciples had been affected by the freezing for a long time, which was harmful to the body, so the three major families decided to transfer the disciples for rotation.
This kind of thing, of course, is done by Sanxiu, and people in Jackdaw Mountain have been panicking recently, and Sanxiu is afraid that this errand will fall on his head.
They didn't know what they were looking for, and the three great families said to the outside world that the Frozen Crane Pond had a special landform and wanted to transform it into a place for cultivation.
Lingyu's eyes rolled, and an idea suddenly came to mind. If she can go to Frozen Crane Pond justifiably, won't she have to wait? The chaotic stone forest is on the side of the frozen crane pool, as long as the strange stone is found, how many years will the treasure of the frozen crane pond be found, what does it matter to her?
So the next day, in Xuan Gongzi's cave mansion, a concubine offended Xuan Gongzi and was sent by him to Frozen Crane Lake to do hard labor......
After Lingyu was taken away by the steward, Xu Wenxuan touched his head blankly: "Strange, why was I so angry just now?" ”
I can't think of a reason, and a furnace ding that has lost Yuan Yin is not so important to him, so he quickly left it behind and left it alone.
In the past, the edge of the frozen crane pond, which was rarely visited, is now in full swing. The three major families have their own side, and a steward is in charge, commanding many scattered cultivators to dig Frozen Crane Pond.
Lingyu was sent over, and the steward looked at her contemptuously and ordered, "You, go and work over there." ”
A furnace ding who has fallen out of favor will not have any status in the family, not to mention that she offended her son and was kicked out.
"Sister Cheng!" As soon as Lingyu walked over, she heard a trembling call.
Turning her head, she found that the person who called her turned out to be Fang He.
"Sister Fang!" Lingyu was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
Fang He, dressed in gray clothes and with a muddy face, glanced at the steward carefully, pulled her to the corner, and the two of them carried the mud and sand together.
Only then did the steward withdraw his glare. This is not a place to catch up, you have to work honestly when you come!
The two of them carried a large basket of mud and sand to the mulberry slope. With cultivation in the body, this big basket of mud and sand is not too heavy, and it is a relatively light work.
Fang He said as he lifted it: "I have no roots and no foundation in the Xu family, and I don't have enough spirit stones to bribe the steward, so this kind of hard work will fall on my head." Sister Cheng, what's the matter with you? ”
Lingyu said: "I offended Master Xuan, so I was sent." ”
"How can this be......" Fang He looked at her, not knowing what to say.
Lingyu saw that her face was full of sympathy, but she didn't dare to say more, for fear of stimulating her, so she smiled and said, "Don't be like this, I don't have to be a furnace now, isn't it good?" ”
Fang He bit his lip and answered after a while: "Well......"
That's right, but once made a furnace ding, it was different from an ordinary casual cultivator like her.
No matter what the atmosphere of Damengze is, it is always a contemptible thing to be a furnace ding. Being a furnace is an indelible stain in the monk's life. The furnace that has fallen out of favor has a very low status, and he has to bear the strange eyes of others on weekdays, and maybe there are also frivolous people who deliberately laugh at him.
Fang He secretly felt sad for Lingyu. If you offend the master and be kicked out, you might as well continue to be a furnace. As long as it is not mined into slag at one time, it is nothing more than a loss of cultivation, and if it can be valued by the owner, maybe there is still hope for building a foundation. Can ...... now It's hard to say whether you can get through this.
Lingyu didn't know Fang He's thoughts, and while carrying the mud and sand, she looked at the surrounding environment.
I came at night that day, and I didn't expect the environment around here to be so good. It's a pity that there is no aura, otherwise it would be a good place to cultivate.
The two of them moved the mud and sand for a day, and finally could rest at night.
The three great families set up tents in Sanglinpo for these casual cultivators who worked hard to live.
Before resting, Fang He specially instructed her: "Sister Cheng, you hurry up and cultivate and remove the cold qi, if you enter the dantian, it will be troublesome." ”
Lingyu thanked her and returned to her small tent.
It was late at night, and it was quiet all around, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops and the sound of shallow breathing.
Lingyu lifted the tent door and looked around.
Men and women live separately, and the place where the male nuns live is a little distance from here, while the female nuns are not very many, only a dozen tents.
After making sure everyone was asleep, she pulled out a talisman.
Holding the talisman between his two fingers, he drew a complex handprint and flicked it vigorously. The spirit rune spontaneously combusted without fire, and landed on the futon, turning into a human figure.
This figure's appearance and body shape are not much different from Lingyu, if you don't look closely, you will definitely think of it as a real person.
This is the puppet talisman that Canghua Zhenren made after studying the Fu Bing. This talisman has its form, it can't imitate cultivation, and it's not usually useful at all, so it's good to disguise this situation.
After arranging it properly and setting up the prohibition, Lingyu quietly touched out of the tent.
Feeling out of the mulberry forest slope and bypassing the frozen crane pond, she finally saw the chaotic stone forest.
The chaotic stone forest is worthy of a messy word, the trees growing randomly, and the stones of different heights are piled up together, which makes people irritated when they look at it. At night, the dark shadows stood abruptly, and the atmosphere was dark and terrifying.
Lingyu took a closer look and found that the Stone Forest was very interesting. In the wild, even if there are no living creatures, they often have their own rules, such as the growth and distribution of trees.
But there are no rules at all in the chaotic stone forest, and the trees that grow together, some are a hundred years, some are ten years, and some have just sprouted. Not far away, two large trees grew abruptly. According to common sense, such big trees will compete for nutrients from each other, and it is impossible for them to grow so big at the same time when they are so close to each other.
In the night, a rustling sound sounded, and a small animal was alarmed and ran away.
"Who?" Lingyu suddenly realized that something was wrong, and let out a low cry, and a sword light swept towards the darkness.
The sword light was gone, and there was nothing there.
Lingyu was shocked, and cold sweat trickled down.
For the first time in her life, she was so terrified. Even when he was young and had never stepped into the fairy road, he lived in the desolate white water view and listened to ghosts crying at night, and he was never so afraid.
Under the monitoring of her divine sense, that person actually disappeared out of thin air!
The strange thing was that just now she clearly felt that that person was similar to her cultivation, and he was not a Yuanying monk.
Could it be that the missing person in this chaotic stone forest is actually still alive? (To be continued......)
