Chapter Eighty-Four: The Sword Roars on a Summer Night
When night falls, everything is silent.
The Qionghua faction was originally a vast and sparsely populated fairyland city, but the population density was outrageously low, and it was very quiet during the day, and you might not see a person for half a day.
At nightfall, however, it was even quieter, and at a glance, it was completely immersed in the darkness of the night, which was as thick as ink that could not be dissolved, and not even the lights and candles lit up in many houses.
At this moment, the entire Qionghua faction is quiet, whether people are asleep or not, but most of them will no longer hang out outside.
This more or less gave Xu Changqing, Sedum and the others some sense of reassurance, at least such an empty and lonely night seemed to be able to hide some of the things they were going to do next that were not very moral.
The Qionghua faction can only enter through the mountain gate, want to fly or go around the sword, and quietly descend from those suspended platforms, pavilions, and trestle bridges, which may indeed be a good way in theory, but in practice it can't be done.
Perhaps in order to prevent the accident of falling and falling, or out of the need to prevent and resist the invasion of foreign enemies, in addition to the mountain gate that can be directly entered, there are dense prohibitions, spells, enchantments and a series of other means in other places.
If you want to destroy them violently and knock out a big hole to get into, not to mention whether you can do it, the movement of tossing is too big, and it doesn't meet everyone's plan at the beginning.
And if they want to crack it through a softer method, and quietly sneak into it without alarming anyone, it will take too long, and if they can't do it, they will have to stay here in Kunlun Mountain for a long time.
- In that case, it is better to consider entering the Qionghua faction through normal means, and in the name of apprenticeship, go undercover for a long time, looking for opportunities.
At the mountain gate, there are two disciples sent by Qionghua to guard, not smiling, but with a restrained atmosphere, they are obviously successful in cultivation.
It was not easy to pass under their noses, but Zi Xuan just stretched out her hand lightly, and it seemed that an invisible powder rose out, enveloping everyone, and the next moment, the silhouette of everyone's figures began to become transparent.
It was like a ball carved on paper, being erased one by one by an eraser, and soon everyone's figures disappeared into thin air.
It's not just that the sight can't be seen, but even the breath, the sense of presence, the energy fluctuations, and even the divergence of spiritual power are completely eliminated, and they can't be captured by the perception no matter what.
"Hurry up and pass quickly, the time that the Stealth Gu can last is less than half a stick of incense......" While using the sound transmission technique to warn everyone, Zi Xuan quickly passed through the spacious space between the two gatekeeper disciples.
She was born in Miao, and her mastery of Gu art was extremely specialized and comprehensive.
Although Gu art is a side door, it also has its advantages, if some Gu is used well, it can play a decisive role in many times, but it is a pity that Gu art has a fatal flaw compared to spells, that is, it needs to make sufficient preparations.
Because raising Gu takes time, it takes effort and energy, and the more powerful and precious Gu is, the more difficult it is to raise, and even there are strict requirements for the external conditions such as solar terms, environment, spiritual energy, yin qi, evil qi, etc., which are often scarce and difficult to scale.
For example, the stealth Gu used by Zi Xuan now, although it is strong and convenient, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid that no one will be aware that there is a group of people who have eliminated all sense of existence and walked past them.
Mo said that it was two disciples of the Qionghua faction who guarded the mountain gate, even if it was a master of the head elder level of each faction, when he did not subconsciously guard against this situation, he would not be able to find it at all - unless among the invisible people, someone lost his mind and had to collide directly.
It's just a few years of cultivation, and it's exchanged for today's one-time consumption, and the time of latent stealth adds up, it's only the time of half a burnt incense...... I just can't afford to hurt.
However, if she didn't care about the number of this Gu at all, if she could have as many as she wanted, then today's matter would not be difficult at all.
In this way, the group quietly and quickly entered the Qionghua faction's residence from the mountain gate.
On this huge platform in front of the mountain, the first thing you see is the oncoming statue of Xuannu Niangniang, as the god of the heavenly realm, it looks solemn, even if it is a lifeless statue, it has its own sacred meaning.
But it was under such a sacred feeling that the group felt very uncomfortable, and they always felt that under the eyes of the great god of others, they quietly entered the other party's Dao inheritance sect to do illegal things.
"Xiaotian, you go over there, remember, the past is the Sword Dance Pavilion, and then the Sword Dance Ping is the Five Spirits Sword Pavilion, and the Five Spirits Sword Pavilion is the Taiyi Palace......
Xu Changqing's voice sounded and paused, "Let's let your sister Zixuan accompany you, it's okay for me to come alone to attract attention." ”
Although it seems to be more dangerous to take the initiative to make a disturbance and attract the attention of others, once it is blocked by the entire Qionghua faction, it is like catching a turtle in an urn, but he is still very skillful, and he has a variety of means to deal with it.
However, Sedum and Xue Jian, although they have some cultivation, it is difficult for them to take on the next heavy responsibilities, even if Xu Changqing and Zixuan will attract the attention of the entire Qionghua faction after a while.
However, it is impossible to say that there is no one to guard the sect of Taiyi Palace, after all, the responsibility of the guard is to guard something, not to say that if something happens in other places, you have to leave your post to see the excitement, plus the various forbidden spells and enchantments that will inevitably exist in those places, etc., it is probably also a very troublesome thing.
If only Sedum and Yukimi are acted, this link may be the most likely to go wrong...... Well, it's not counting the two, the ghost who resides in the magic sword, the nightshade can also be counted as a "person", so it adds up to three people.
Maybe you can also add the five poisonous beast jacarandas? That's the four?
But what does that mean? It's not that they're unreliable, but their ability is really insufficient, and if they have to try their luck at this critical juncture, it's too unreassuring.
After a small dispute and discussion, Zi Xuan finally agreed to this method, but handed over half of the remaining few stealth Gu to Xu Changqing, so that he should not be stingy at the critical moment, and use it when he should use it.
The group parted ways in Qianshan, Xu Changqing stepped on the plank road on the left alone, which was the direction leading to the upper sword casting platform and sword washing pool of the Qionghua faction, while Zixuan led Sedum and others to quickly go to the sword dance flat from the right.
While the current duration of the stealth Gu is still there, it is best to make full use of it, and the remaining stealth Gu still needs to be used when retreating, so you must be careful with your calculations.
……
……
Sword Dance Ping.
Because it is the residence of the disciples and elders of the Qionghua Sect, it is natural that the lights are still on in the scattered rooms, although people have gone back to their rooms, but it is not enough to say that the lights will be turned off and go to bed so soon.
Even if most people don't practice anymore, they will seize the opportunity to start studying the Dao Dharma texts in the sect, or ask their senior brothers and sisters about the problems they have accumulated during the day's cultivation and what they don't understand.
"Mengli, what's wrong with you? Seems to have been restless since just now? ”
In Liu Mengli's house, Han Lingsha looked at her friend with some worry, she always felt that Liu Mengli seemed to be a little uneasy, but no matter how many times she asked, the girl only smiled a little reluctantly, but she just didn't say what was going on.
"I ......"
Liu Mengli pursed her lips, hesitating and wondering whether she should express her worries with Han Lingsha, and she didn't know what she should say, because she just felt that something was going to happen, but there was no evidence to prove it.
Although she had just tried several times, she tried to withdraw her divine will, but she didn't get any response, as if someone's consciousness had never appeared, and she didn't know if she found that this behavior was inappropriate, so she completely stopped.
Or is it ......
That person is now busy preparing to do something very important, so there is no extra time to pay attention to her, so there is no response to her?
The former's words are easy to say, but if it is the latter, she really has some doubts that it is not that person who has come to the Qionghua Sect and is ready to take "his" water spirit bead...... However, this phenomenon cannot be used as evidence, and it is impossible for Liu Mengli to tell others about it.
Moreover, even if it was really determined that Xia Ran planned to come over and take away the treasure of the Qionghua faction, Liu Mengli actually didn't plan to say it, nor did she plan to destroy the other party's plan...... The reason why she feels uneasy now is that she is worried that what will happen next will be too big and out of control.
It's a strange instinctive hunch.
"What, can't you tell me?" Seeing her friend's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Han Lingsha was furious, stepped forward and grabbed the other party's arm and shook it again and again, "Or Mengli, you always talked to yourself behind my back just now, are you talking to other people?" ”
"Rhombosa! What are you talking nonsense......"
Liu Mengli was slightly shocked in her heart, although she knew that the girl in red was just saying it casually, she was still a little worried.
"Rhombosa! Dream Glass! ”
At this time, the voice of Yun Tianhe came from outside the door, and it sounded like the wild man on the top of the mountain was very excited, as if he had discovered something interesting and was ready to show off to the two.
For this kind of tone, Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli are not used to it, the two glanced at each other, sighed at the same time, and walked to the door.
"Really, when will this person be able to grow up...... Han Lingsha complained, opened the door and walked out first, and then immediately saw Yun Tianhe standing outside the door excitedly, holding a slender blue long sword that seemed to be made of Xuan Bing.
An obviously extraordinary divine weapon, but unfortunately he didn't even know the name, Yun Tianhe swore that its name was "This is a sword"-
The reason is that he took this sword to ask his father when he was a child, and Yun Tianqing was in a bad mood, and said with a sneer: "Your name is Yun Tianhe today, and you can also change your name to Yun Asan tomorrow, but you are still you." It's the same with swords, if you think it's troublesome, you can simply call it "this is a sword", which is simple and easy to remember. ”
But at this moment, the sword was emitting a blue glow, illuminating the surrounding area, and the terrible chill caused the air to plummet.
"Buzz~Buzz~"
Burst after buzz, emitted in the slight trembling of the sword itself, as if conveying something.
