Chapter 45 Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

"Bang"

A dull voice sounded, and a brilliant light bloomed in the empty room of the inn, illuminating the entire inn, and the rumbling tremor filled all corners of the inn. The brilliance dissipated, following the rumbling sound, in the corner of the room, the two ears of the old donkey's Zhiling were drooping, the black and white hair all turned black at the moment, and the big teeth were like gnawing the ashes at the bottom of the pot, and the two big eyes were round, looking at Jiang Xiaoqi not far away, with a stunned face.

"Mistakes, mistakes, hands tremble, donkey brother forgive me. ”

Looking at the old donkey's dark and funny appearance, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled, a touch of embarrassment flashed on his handsome face, and he scratched his head helplessly, and then explained.

Just now, Jiang Xiaoqi was concentrating on the engraved talisman array, outlining the context of the spirit rune, and carrying out fine fusion, and at the last moment, when he was about to fuse a special material, the center of the spirit array suddenly changed, and then, he saw that the prototype of the entire spirit array began to collapse, and it burst together with the spar that was as bright as fire, and immediately the fire splashed everywhere, wrapped in the bright firelight and went straight to the old donkey behind him, and after that, there was a scene in front of him.

"Boy, can you do it, you have blown up three times in this time, and the old man's tail is about to burn you bald. ”

Grinning and blowing out the flames on his tail, the old donkey looked at Jiang Xiaoqi with an innocent face with an unkind gaze, and opened his mouth viciously with a mouthful of big teeth. If it weren't for Jiang Xiaoqi's embarrassed expression, the old donkey would have suspected that this guy was deliberately taking revenge on him.

"The main reason is that the center of this rune array is too complicated, and there are some fine veins in it, which are difficult to control with my current spirit rune attainments, so I can only keep groping and trying. ”

And in the inheritance left by that senior, there is not much explanation of this kind of detailed contextual processing. ”

Recovering his flat expression, Jiang Xiaoqi stared at the brilliant spirit runes beating at his fingertips, frowned slightly, and immediately spoke. Perhaps the senior thought that such a trivial thing could not be an obstacle to the construction of the talisman array, so it was not recorded in the secret method of inheritance.

"Aren't you building a wildfire array?"

Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's doubtful voice, the old donkey licked his big face and came over, looked at the delicate runes that jumped in his hand, his teeth were bared, and his eyes flashed with a little doubt and asked.

"Well, yes, why not, I've been building a wildfire array. ”

Looking at the figure of the old donkey coming over, Jiang Xiaoqi looked stunned, and was a little hairy by the old donkey's gaze, nodded again and again, and hurriedly echoed.

"Boy, are you secretly doing some advanced talisman behind my back, or are you giving me all the fur stuff?"

The cunning old donkey saw Jiang Xiaoqi's discomfort at a glance, and immediately raised a hoof and pointed at him, scolding and scolding, questioning Jiang Xiaoqi like this. Indeed, Jiang Xiaoqi once gave it a rubbing spirit rune, which recorded a lot of cultivation methods, but most of them were talking about the way of the spirit rune, as well as the most basic entry rune array, which did not have much substantial help for the refining of the spirit rune.

I thought that this was Jiang Xiaoqi's inheritance, but judging from Jiang Xiaoqi's reaction just now, it was obvious that this guy must have hidden it from him, otherwise, why did Jiang Xiaoqi's fingertips flash away the spirit rune that it had never seen before.

"What did Brother Donkey say, we are all old acquaintances, how can I be selfish towards you?"

"Besides, don't you know what I am?"

Finding that his trick was seen through, Jiang Xiaoqi was completely unaware, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he straightened his waist, pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and opened his mouth with righteous words, but his smart eyes glanced at the old donkey on the side from time to time, observing its reaction.

For Jiang Xiaoqi's thicker and thicker skin, the old donkey was also speechless for a while, this guy's problem of opening his eyes and talking nonsense did not leak any traces, if he hadn't been caught by it, the old donkey couldn't help but believe what this guy said.

"Okay, Brother Donkey, hurry up and condense the talisman array, and we'll run away after this ticket. ”

Pushing the old donkey's body and throwing it into a large pile of materials, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled and signaled it to work faster.

As the deceased spirit rune master said, the spirit rune is ever-changing, and there are too many mysteries along the way, just take the rune array they want to engrave at the moment, it is not a simple spirit rune array, but the condensed rune array is integrated into a special material to preserve, temporarily sealed.

After sealing the rune array, he injected a special spiritual power of his own into it, and when he needed it, he used this special spiritual power as a medium to detonate the entire rune array, thus bursting out with strong power.

And Jiang Xiaoqi engraved so many rune arrays naturally had his own use. The Lu family has a deep foundation in this great desolate city, and it is difficult for him to shake the entire family with his own strength, so he will think of this method, use the engraved rune array as a guide, bury it under every courtyard of the Lu family, and when the time is ripe, he will detonate the spiritual power in the rune array.

According to the information he got, most of the strength of the Lu family's martial artists is in the Yangxi realm, and only the strength of the descendants of the family has reached the four full realms, as for the head of the Lu family, Lu Ming's strength is geometric, and he has no way of knowing. However, as the head of the Lu family, Lu Ming's strength will naturally not be weak.

And right now, the talisman array he engraved was mainly dealing with people outside the Lu family's lineage, that is, the group of people whose strength was in the Yangxi Realm and below. After this period of study of the spirit rune line, Jiang Xiaoqi has also made a lot of progress.

When he first met the old donkey, he could engrave a rune with a rudimentary form, and now, he could naturally arrange a rune with a complete form. It's just that if he wants to integrate the complete rune array into the material of the trait, the failure rate will be relatively high, after all, he has a limited amount of time to get the inheritance of the spirit rune master, and it is impossible to fully grasp the essentials in such a short period of time.

However, with the slow exploration, Jiang Xiaoqi has also vaguely found the law, and the probability of success has also come to sixty percent. The Mountain Fire Array is the basic talisman array that Jiang Xiaoqi taught to the old donkey, although it is only an entry-level formation, it is completely enough to deal with some martial artists below the Yangxi Realm.

And the rune array he wanted to engrave was more complicated than the mountain fire array, a second-level rune array called the Fire Dragon Array, which was used to deal with the martial artists of the Yangxi Realm. After repeated experiments, Jiang Xiaoqi already had a general understanding of the power of the Fire Dragon Array.

The power of the offensive sent out by the fire dragon array is very amazing, and it can completely present a devastating situation in the Yangxi Realm, even if some martial artists from the Four Full Realms encounter it, they will be burned out by the flames of the Fu Array, so it is more than enough to use this Fire Dragon Array to deal with the group of martial artists of the Yang River Realm of the Lu family.

Three days later

"Boy, this is clearly a trick set by those people, if you go, maybe your life will have to be explained there. ”

In the room of the inn, looking at Jiang Xiaoqi with cold cheeks, the old donkey was lying on the side, fiddling with the teapot in his hand, pouring a few mouthfuls into his mouth from time to time, and glancing at Jiang Xiaoqi sitting at the front of the table and chair.

Just now, the old donkey went out for a walk, and heard many people talking on the street, saying that the Lu family had caught the murderer of their young master and would execute him at noon tomorrow.

The old donkey, who knew the inside story, naturally knew that the group of guys from the Lu family was definitely not Jiang Xiaoqi, in that case, where did the Lu family's ghost for the dead come from? Finally, under the compulsion of the old donkey, who was full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, he finally figured out who the ghost was from the mouth of a side member of the Lu family.

Listening to that person, the second elder of the Lu family went out some time ago and caught a ragged villager from a valley dozens of miles away from the Great Wilderness City, and that villager claimed to be an old acquaintance with Jiang Xiaoqi, his village was slaughtered, and he was the only one who escaped alive.

The second elder of the Lu family lied to him that Jiang Xiaoqi was at the Lu family at this time, so the villager went back to the Lu family under the leadership of the second elder, but after that, he was arrested by the people of the Lu family. And tomorrow is to execute the captured villager, in order to force Jiang Xiaoqi to show up, so that the Lu family can avenge Lu Yu.

"Bang"

Crushing the teacup in his hand, Jiang Xiaoqi slowly stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold killing intent flashed in his deep pupils. Although what the old donkey said is very likely to be the truth, the group of people in the Lu family just randomly found someone to be the substitute ghost, and then deliberately released the news to lead him into the net.

But Jiang Xiaoqi didn't dare to gamble, he was afraid that the rumors would be true, if the person who was blackmailed by the Lu family and used as a scapegoat was really the one who survived in the village, it would become that he had harmed him and let others die on his behalf, which Jiang Xiaoqi didn't want to see at all.

In addition, the slaughter of the villagers has always been a thorn in his heart, like a scar. Because of Old Man Shi's advice, he had to temporarily suppress this hatred, but now, the group of people in the Lu family released such news, which was equivalent to reopening the scar he had hidden in his heart, and rekindled the anger in his heart again.

"Whether the scapegoat is from the village or not, I'm going to have to go this way. ”

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Jiang Xiaoqi walked up to the old donkey, leaned down and whispered in his ear. Soon, I saw that the old donkey's eyes opened suddenly, and his pupils flashed with a bit of surprise, and he looked at Jiang Xiaoqi, who was indifferent.

"You kid aren't afraid of this big wilderness city fryer?"

It's night

The bright moon hangs in the sky, night falls, tonight's full moon is exceptionally bright, the wide street is full of people, there is no such noise during the day, many stalls on both sides of the street are closed, only the inn restaurant is still flashing lights.

"Whoosh"

A dark shadow flashed, leaping out of the inn's window, and swept over the houses that stood on both sides of the street, and the cornices galloped like walls, and the light body stepped on the eaves without leaving the slightest sound. From afar, all you can see is a vague afterimage flickering in the moonlight.

"This little guy is quite interesting. ”

Not long after the black shadow swept out, on the obsidian city wall, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe slowly appeared, paralyzed, holding a wine jug in his hand and pouring it into his mouth, his eyes were like torches, and a pair of eyes flashed in the reflection of the moonlight, looking at the black shadow flying over the eaves of the city, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he muttered softly.

"You just let this little guy blow up the Lu family?"

Next to the middle-aged man, an elegant man spoke with a slightly respectful tone, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he also looked at the galloping figure in the moonlight, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's just a matter of being trusted, but I've seen this little guy, he has a good temperament, and he's a good seedling. ”

"And these people in the Lu family are not very peaceful, so they just took this opportunity to knock and knock. ”

Picking up the flask and pouring it into his mouth, the robe figure opened his mouth casually, stretched, looked up at the bright moonlight in the night, stood up straight, and walked on the wide city wall.

Listening to the words of the Dao robe figure, the elegant man nodded with a smile. As one of the three major forces in the Great Wilderness City, the Lu family, no one dared to touch their majesty here, but the figure in the Taoist robe in front of him was about to beat casually, but the elegant man felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

"The person who can make you always talk about it, I'm afraid this little guy is the first. ”

Walking on the dark city wall with the figure of the Taoist robe, the elegant man's eyes were stunned, and then he saw a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, shaking the folding fan in his hand and speaking softly.

The Lu family

"Whew"

The shadow flickered away, swept down from the tall buildings, dodged into the darkness of the night, and constantly changed positions along the edge of the towering wall, and disappeared through the darkness, as if to merge with the darkness.

This person who hid his figure through the darkness was Jiang Xiaoqi, at this time, he changed his previous clothes, changed into a dark night clothes, and covered his face with a black cloth, just from the appearance, he couldn't see his true appearance at all.

It has been three full days since he stepped into this great wilderness city, and in the three days, in addition to going out to inquire about the news, Jiang Xiaoqi has been immersed in the portrayal of the rune array, and the materials have been prepared as early as the first day he came here, and the time-consuming thing is only to integrate the rune array into the materials.

Originally, the scheduled time was the day after tomorrow, but because of the news announced by the Lu family, Jiang Xiaoqi had to change the established plan, although the engraving of the talisman array was not completely sufficient, but some savings could still be configured in various courtyards of the Lu family.

And what he has to do now is to bury the rune arrays engraved in the space bracelet all over the Lu family, and when the time comes, he will take the opportunity to detonate these rune arrays, as for the few martial artists who can destroy the Lu family, it depends on their creation.

"Pedaling"

"Hey, do you say it's necessary to come out on patrol at night? Our Lu family has deep roots in this great desolate city, and there are countless martial artists in the clan, why do you have to guard against a teenage bastard?"

The footsteps approached, and a patrol came neatly, patrolling the various houses of the Lu family. At this time, I heard a murky voice from the team, and then, I saw a man in armor break away from the team, sit breathlessly on a stone step outside the courtyard wall, and complain to the patrol team that stopped in front of him.

"It's just that a kid who hasn't grown any hair, and we want to patrol here with great fanfare, it's completely unnecessary. ”

As soon as the words of the man on the stone steps fell, he heard a echo sound in the team, cursing Jiang Xiaoqi and cursing them, causing them to come out to patrol in the middle of the night.

"Don't say it, we just do what the head of the family tells us, if the second elder finds out that we are lazy here, with his fiery temper, he will have to stuff us into the steel-making furnace and burn us as firewood. ”

After the echo sounded, the few remaining members of the group also slouched and complained, trying to find a place to rest along the edge of the wall. But then, the man standing at the front of the line spoke in a deep voice, his eyes looked around vigilantly, and he reminded everyone around him.

Hearing this, everyone's lazy expressions immediately became energetic, and when they heard the name of the second elder, everyone's faces couldn't help but tremble, and their gums were faintly trembling. In the Lu family, the name of the second elder is like a nightmare, even more fearful than the head of the family. Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to be lazy anymore, so they got up with a rolling belt, and after tidying up their armor, they walked into the distance with neat steps and started a new round of patrols.

"You really look up to me. ”

Jiang Xiaoqi, who was hidden in the darkness, walked out slowly, looked at the patrol behind him far away from sight, his eyes lit up, and he sneered in his heart.

"Whoosh"

The spiritual power of the whole body was pervasive, Jiang Xiaoqi stepped on the soles of his feet, his body rose from the ground, swept straight into the air, jumped over the wall with a flash, and landed steadily in the courtyard, his eyes looked at the quiet courtyard vigilantly, covering his body through the darkness, his steps moved slowly, and walked towards the courtyard.

"Buzz"

"It's a weird wave. ”

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoqi, who was galloping in the dark, stopped suddenly, his body was tightly attached to the back of a rockery, carefully feeling the spiritual power fluctuations that had just flashed, and a wave of suspicion rose in his heart.

Just now, when he passed by the rockery behind him, he suddenly noticed a strong spiritual power fluctuation, although it was only for a short moment, but it was still clearly captured by Jiang Xiaoqi, judging from the surging aura of spiritual power, its majesty has surpassed the scope of the Four Full Realms.

That powerful sense of oppression, he had felt in Ximeng's body, although that spiritual power was not as strong as the latter, it had a sense of oppression, but Jiang Xiaoqi could still feel that the fluctuation of that spiritual power had surpassed the Four Manchu Realm.

However, what made him feel strange was that the fluctuation of that spiritual power did not seem to be stable, it rose and fell, sometimes beyond the scope of the Four Manchu Realm, and sometimes it fell to the Yangxi Realm, hovering back and forth between the two, such a strange fluctuation of spiritual power made Jiang Xiaoqi a little suspicious in his heart.

The figure was close to the rockery against his back, Jiang Xiaoqi could roughly determine that the strange spiritual power fluctuation should have come from this rockery, but after looking around, Jiang Xiaoqi didn't find any entrances and exits in this rockery, and this appearance couldn't help but make him frown.

"Buzz"

"Gather the children of the family, there is an emergency in the arsenal, come quickly. ”

Just as Jiang Xiaoqi was looking around the rockery, looking for the location of the organ, a buzzing bell suddenly sounded in the wide square of the Lu family, and then a loud roar came from the empty square, resounding in all corners of the Lu family.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoqi's hidden figure was stunned at first, and then, seeing that his face covered by the black cloth slightly curled, his eyes looked at the crowd gradually gathering in the square in the distance, and his eyes flashed with cold brilliance.

He knew that the opportunity had come, although the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain was simple, it was direct and effective, and the Lu family was able to gain a firm foothold in this great desolate city, relying on the survival of weapons. Weapons are their lifeblood, as long as there is a situation in the armory, the Lu family will have no time to take care of it, and he naturally has an excellent opportunity to arrange.

"Whoosh"

With a flash of figure, Jiang Xiaoqi ran away in black clothes, swept into the darkness and hid. Although this rockery is a bit strange, the immediate priority is to place the talisman array first, after all, this is where the confidence he uses to fight against the Lu family lies.

The Lu family's movements were very fast, and the square that had just been blackened was now empty, and they all rushed towards the arsenal outside the family. The arsenal is a place for military training, and it is the foundation of the family, but the sonorous sound of striking iron is really annoying, so there is a distance between the Lu family's family and the arsenal, and it takes a long distance to go back and forth, and the time is enough for Jiang Xiaoqi to place the runes.

"Whew"

"Bang Bang"

Jiang Xiaoqi was dressed in black, running back and forth under the cover of night, and buried the talisman array in the Lu family's martial arts arena, courtyard and many other places, and the long rush made Jiang Xiaoqi ooze a few beads of sweat on his forehead. Finally, his figure stopped in the middle of the square where the huge sword shadow stood, and he looked at the huge building in front of him with an indifferent gaze, and his eyes were filled with a cold look.

He knew that tomorrow, this would become a place of execution, and at the same time, it would also be a trap prepared for him by the Lu family. Although in the process of setting up the talisman formation just now, he deliberately searched several important places in the Lu family, but he did not find the so-called 'villager' at all, which inevitably made Jiang Xiaoqi feel a little worried in his heart.

Although he was like an old donkey in his heart, he believed that this was a trap set for him by the Lu family, but he still had to drill into it, because he was not sure if that person was really just a scapegoat.

The Lu family's approach also made Jiang Xiaoqi clear about one thing, although he acted secretly, the Lu family still knew his whereabouts, it seems that someone should have secretly made a move and informed the Lu family of the news in advance, otherwise, with the strength of the Lu family, there is no ability to track his whereabouts at all, and this is also what makes Jiang Xiaoqi the most vigilant. If tomorrow's execution is not only the Lu family's action, the situation will become more complicated.

"Whoosh"

The three jade stones flew out at the same time, and were thrown by Jiang Xiaoqi in three different directions in the square, hiding their traces. Tomorrow, there may be a fierce battle here, and if he wants to fight the entire Lu family with the strength of one person, it is difficult for Jiang Xiaoqi to do it alone, so he wants to consume as much of the Lu family's strength as possible, and the talisman array engraved in these three jade stones is one of his dependencies.

"Almost. ”

After doing this, Jiang Xiaoqi glanced up at the sky, the moonlight was sprinkled, and the empty square seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost, the shape was lonely, and the light flashed in his eyes.

"That strange spiritual power has always made me uneasy. ”

Running in the moonlit reflection of the night, on the face covered by the black cloth, Jiang Xiaoqi's brows furrowed slightly, and the spiritual power fluctuations from the rockery kept echoing in his mind, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

In such a strange situation in the Lu family, Jiang Xiaoqi was always uneasy in his heart, that strange feeling was like a time bomb, there was a danger of detonating at any time, in case of tomorrow's execution ground, a master who surpassed the Four Manchu Realm suddenly appeared, I am afraid it would disrupt all Jiang Xiaoqi's plans.

After a deep groan in his heart, he turned around, Jiang Xiaoqi no longer insisted on leaving, the black shadow flashed, the moonlight was bright, and his body turned to run towards the courtyard where he came, he wanted to see what strange things were hidden in that rockery.
