Chapter 22: Conspiracy
With a "snap", the jade shattered and split into two halves. Chen An looked at the young man in black embarrassedly, "This, big brother, I didn't mean it." ”
The young man in black was also dumbfounded at this time, he had never encountered this situation, he was stunned for a long time, then looked at Chen An, looked at it carefully, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this kid is really a genius, cutting tendons and washing the marrow is not a treatment that ordinary disciples can have, no wonder his master is so willing." ”
"It's okay, you can pay me 1.8 million taels. The young man in black said, Chen An was stunned, and he couldn't see anything special when he stared at the jade in his hand: "Is this stone so expensive?" Then he turned his head to look at the honest man standing next to the young man in black, and the honest man nodded seriously when he saw Chen An looking.
"What kind of stone is this, it's so expensive, let the old man see it. An old woman walked over, took the jade from Chen An's hand, held it up and looked back and forth in front of her eyes. Chen An only felt that the old woman's voice had just come, and he hadn't reacted yet. The jade in his hand was gone.
"So fast. The young man in black said secretly, although he had noticed the old woman when she first appeared, but when the old woman took the stone from Chen An's hand, he didn't have time to stop it.
"Housheng, don't be deceived, this stone is nothing special in the old body, if it is broken, it will be broken, and there is no need to pay for it. The old woman handed the jade back to Chen An, smiled, shook her head and said.
The young man in black originally planned to make a joke with Chen An, first to scare and scare this young child who had just entered the supernatural realm, and then to teach Chen An that people are sinister and that he should be more careful when he goes out. In front of the juniors, he creates the image of a kind and humorous senior.
However, when the old woman said this just now, she suddenly felt that she couldn't hold her face, and she wanted to make trouble but couldn't figure out the details of the old woman, so she had to say in a good voice: "Why did the senior say this, although the junior was joking with this little brother just now, this piece of jade is not worthless." ”
"Oh, it only takes one drop of blood to measure the potential of jade, but there are still three drops left in this jade. The old woman looked at the young man in black and seemed to smile.
"Don't worry, I don't mean anything bad to this little brother, and charging an extra three drops of blood is just a reward for using jade. When the young man in black saw that the old woman had exposed himself, he no longer concealed it, and said seriously, and the honest man behind him also quietly moved his steps at this time, his eyes staring at the old woman.
The old woman glanced back and forth between the black-clothed young man and the honest man, shook her head and said with a smile: "Little slug, little black charcoal, what, haven't you been beaten enough by me when you were a child?" ”
"Who are you!" The young man in black changed his face when he heard this, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, as if he was recalling a tragic past that could not be looked back on. The honest man's face was solemn, and he stared at the old woman's face.
Seeing the two of them behaving like this, Wang Yanxi stepped forward and whispered to Chen An: "I thought it was a master, it turned out to be two little children who had been beaten by my senior sister." ”
"Senior sister, are you saying that this old woman is Sister Yan!" Chen An said in surprise, and then stepped forward to look up and down, the old woman in front of him was hunched over, her hair was pale, and her face was full of wrinkles. It is difficult for Chen An to overlap the gorgeous and unparalleled woman with the old man in front of him.
"Have you seen enough? The old woman turned her head to look at Chen An, "I'm sorry, senior, junior didn't mean to offend." Chen An saw the old woman looking at her, and hurriedly said.
Then a scream rang out, like the sound of pain. "Ah, senior, what are you hitting me for. Chen An covered his forehead, but just now the old woman stepped forward and gave Chen An a blow with her fingers.
"If I don't hit you, you're not smart. The old woman shook her head. Said to the young man in black and the honest man, "You guys come with me too," and then turned around and walked upstairs, Wang Yanxi followed forward and grabbed the old woman's hand, turned around and stuck out his tongue at Chen An.
Chen An rubbed his forehead, there seemed to be a big bag there, so he could only cover his forehead helplessly and follow him upstairs at the end.
The seventh floor is much more deserted than the next few floors, there are some tables, chairs and calligraphy and paintings, which seem to be a place for people to rest, and the old woman took Wang Yanxi straight to the corner of a painting and calligraphy, and then disappeared out of thin air.
The young man in black and the honest man stood in front of the calligraphy and painting and hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and disappeared like the old woman and Wang Yanxi. Chen An rubbed his eyes and stepped forward as well.
Standing in front of the scroll, Chen An found that the content of the painting was very simple, in the center of the painting was a small wooden house, and there was a big tree behind the wooden house, the branches and leaves of the tree were lush and green, covering most of the house, and there were some rows of uneven stone slabs at the door of the wooden house.
Chen An saw two figures, one black and one green, walking on the stone road, only to realize that this painting was actually a secret space, and after being amazed, he put down the hand covering his forehead, put it behind his back, and paced towards the painting like a celebrity.
With a "bang", Chen An slammed into the wall firmly, and there seemed to be a big bag on his forehead on the other side. When the people around heard the reputation, they saw Chen An's embarrassment, thinking that he was a careless person who accidentally touched the wall while thinking about other things.
The reserved person turned his head and covered his mouth and laughed, and directly laughed out loud, and some people with higher status and seniority shook their heads with a light smile, and then turned their heads not to look.
After a while, the crowd stopped paying attention to Chen An, Chen An rubbed his forehead, and secretly sighed that he was afraid that he was going to break his appearance today.
"It's really stupid, did your body produce air currents after cutting the muscles and washing the marrow, mobilize those air currents, and gather them into the dantian, you try again. Wang Yanxi's voice came, but it appeared directly in Chen An's mind.
After Chen An tried to collect the air flow in his body to the dantian, he still did not dare to enter directly, he stretched out a hand to touch the painting, but found that his body was getting smaller and smaller. Until it finally shrunk into a small figure drawn with a pen and ink and appeared in the scroll.
At this time, Chen An entered the scroll, but found that the appearance in the painting was not as simple as that seen outside the scroll, and there were all kinds of brightly colored flowers on both sides of the slate. And the slabs, the houses, and the trees, all look very real.
"Rub it off, don't come in yet. Yan Shen's voice came from the wooden house, and Chen An didn't care about enjoying the scenery, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the wooden door.
When Chen An opened the door, he found that there were two more people in the room that he had never seen before, a cute child of about six years old and a beautiful young woman, like mother and child.
The people sat around a round table, but the chairs were full. Chen An walked to the side of the beautiful young woman and said respectfully, "This aunt, can you take your child down and let him sit here." ”
"Whose child's name is your grandmother!" "Auntie are you?" The child and the young woman glared angrily at Chen An at the same time. Chen An was at a loss and looked at Yan Shen, who had already recovered his original appearance at this time.
She covered her forehead, pressed her temples with both hands, got up and said, "Don't blame the two Daoists, this is my inferior disciple, I only entered the Divine Power Realm a few days ago, please don't worry about him for the sake of my face." ”
The child and the glamorous young woman are the two Lingzhuzi and the young woman surnamed Wang who disappeared before, "Okay, since Sister Yan has said so, you still have to give face, so don't worry about this junior." Lingzhuzi waved his hand and sat down again.
"Hee-hee, my sister's face sister still has to give. The glamorous young woman also expressed the offense of Yuan Liang Chen An. After speaking, he took off a silver hairpin from his head and stabbed it at the black-clothed young man who was snickering on the table.
With a "snap", the young man in black raised his head, his face was full of flattery, pulled out the silver hairpin and handed it back to the glamorous young woman, the beautiful young woman sneered and took the silver hairpin, and reinserted it on her head.
"Chen An, come over and stand next to me. Yan Shen beckoned to Chen An, and Chen An suddenly stood still in front of Yan Shen as if he had been granted amnesty. found that Wang Yanxi also had a seat, and sat on Yan Shen's right hand.
"Yan Xi is your uncle, you are a generation shorter than our backup, stand honestly for me, don't make trouble for me again. Yan Shen saw Chen An looking at Wang Yanxi directly, he knew what he was thinking, and remembered what Chen An had done before, so he pretended to reprimand.
Chen An obediently said "oh" and stopped talking, Wang Yanxi smiled and made a grimace at Chen An, Chen An was expressionless, Wang Yanxi was bored, so he stopped teasing him and turned his head to look at everyone.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Yan Shen was the first to speak. "Lieyang Gate Spirit Beads, Lin Yu Palace King Caiwei, Xinghe Sect Qin Shaoyan, Tiangong Mountain Tie Chu, all of them are famous figures, but they gather in a mortal city. Yan Shen introduced them one by one in order.
Chen An suddenly felt that Yan Shen deliberately said their origins and names, so as to make a good fate for himself and Wang Yanxi to break through in the supernatural power realm in the future.
"I won't sell it anymore, according to the information obtained by the elders of this sect, this opportunity for sanctification is not as good as Tianji Pavilion said. In fact, it is a royal secret realm for the Xia Dynasty to select the crown prince. Yan Shen looked at everyone and observed everyone's reactions, but found that except for Tie Chu, who was a little shocked, the faces of the other three people did not change, as if they had already known about it.
"It is not easy for these famous sects to exist so far. Yan Shen said secretly in his heart. And the Tiangong Mountain, where Tiechu is located, is blessed by the various sects of the Divine Power Realm and the Xia Dynasty because it can create all kinds of divine weapons and siege equipment, and it can be regarded as the highest worry-free force among the sects.
"In the secret realm, it takes a huge amount of spiritual power to condense into a spirit body before you can enter. When our spirit body is killed, the spirit power will be devoured by others, and the last person who survives has the spirit power of all those who have entered the secret realm. Yan Shen saw that everyone's calm faces were slightly shaken, so he continued.
"Then the emperor is so bothered to coax us in? is he so confident in his son, or is there a few transcendent powers hidden in it to help him, then why should I go in? Lingzhuzi asked. The rest of the crowd also nodded, as if they all had such a question.
"Lingzhu Daoist friends don't have to worry, this secret realm can only be entered by those who have entered the Xuan Realm and below, but if the royal bloodline enters, it will be improved several times, but there are dangers and opportunities. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't need to say more about what power is most needed to advance from the Xuan Xuan to the Transcendent. "Yan Shen is good at seducing.
"Form an alliance and drive out the emperor's son and the others. Then it's up to each to his ability. Qin Shaoyan proposed. The concubine agreed. "I think so. "It's the same with me. The crowd agreed.
"Then swear by it. Yan Shen said, "In terms of oaths, I still believe in my sister's Yan God oath the most, sister, please." The glamorous young woman smiled.
Yan Shen nodded, his hands kept changing complicated gestures, and after the last gesture was completed, a huge demon god's head rose from behind Yan Shen.
Everyone divided their spiritual power into a trace, engraved the oath on the spiritual power, and checked each other. Flying his spiritual power towards the head of the demon god, the head of the demon god opened its mouth and swallowed it, and its originally closed eyes opened and glanced at the person who everyone had sworn to. He closed his eyes and turned into black smoke and dispersed.
At this time, everyone felt that there was a huge demon god head in their spiritual consciousness sea, as if as long as they broke the oath, they would be swallowed by the demon god's head and swallow all their spiritual power.
"Eldest sister, is there anything else? Qin Shaoyan said with a smile. "Yes, my hands are itchy right now, and I want to beat you up again. Yan Shen looked at Qin Shaoyan and seemed to be smiling.
Qin Shaoyan laughed dryly, then quickly opened the door and ran out, and the rest of the people laughed, and then retreated.
Wang Yanxi was sent out by Yan Shen, while Chen An was left in the house.
Yan Shen closed the door, turned his head to Chen Anzheng and said, "Tell me, what you saw when you held the jade." ”
