Chapter 28
Li Xunlian's sneak attack was a joke, and Hu Wan naturally wouldn't be angry, but this result made him stunned and surprised.
You must know that, as he said, his body vein is by no means ordinary, it is a rock-solid "Tiangang body", the domineering of this body vein lies in the condensation and heaviness, although it is not the top in general, but in terms of resistance to attack ability and strength foundation, it is second to none in the Kyushu continent.
It's understandable that he didn't react fast enough, but he obviously defended, but he was still slapped into the water by Li Xunlian's palm, which is a bit too much to say.
"What kind of body vein are you, I don't usually see anything, why are you so perverted?" Hu Wan climbed up from the stream and asked in surprise while urging Xuan Qi to dry his clothes.
"Perverted, you're just too inferior. Li Xunlian laughed and mocked, the brothers don't need to pay too much attention to words, ridicule is mockery, and being humble is boring.
"It's not me who blows, the Tiangang body is made by absorbing the qi of the extraterritorial meteor, and in terms of defense, it may not be impossible to resist the bloodline of the proud dragon. Hu Wan's face was positive, he occasionally got a piece of extraterritorial meteorite iron in his early years, and absorbed it by chance, which formed the Tiangang body.
As soon as this body is completed, even he himself can clearly feel the strength of the bone skin, which is almost not inferior to low-level defensive equipment, and will become stronger and stronger as the Xuan Qi grows!
But even so, he was still slapped over with a palm, which can only show that Li Xun's conjoined body veins are stronger than comprehension.
Li Xunlian naturally couldn't give him an exact answer about this matter, after all, even he didn't know what his body pulse was, so how could he explain it to Hu Wan.
After several inquiries to no avail, Hu Wan shouted a few words and decided to have the opportunity to ask the second shopkeeper, that is, his current master.
As Hu Wan inspected the mine, the time had come to noon, and he didn't prepare any big fish and meat, just a casual bite in the canteen.
In the meantime, the three sword slaves came one after another, and when everyone was gathered, Li Xunlian told everyone about his analysis of the situation in the last days and the strange things in the village, wanting to hear their opinions.
Everyone is a shrewd person, the difficulty in ingesting Xuan Qi is too abnormal, although the explanation given by the royal family can make sense for the time being, but it is also full of loopholes when you think about it, and at this moment, when you hear Li Xunlian say the end of the world, everyone's hearts are full of joy.
As for the recent frequent cases of missing persons, it is necessary to make people think deeply about the occurrence of this critical moment.
"What does Childe mean, are these two things related?" Kun Shan pondered for a moment and asked.
"I just have a hunch, and I still need to hold the weird guy to decide. Li Xunlian twisted the teacup, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Huanfeng, from tonight onwards, you will move around more, and if you encounter that strange person, or similar situation, you will be decisively arrested." ”
Huanfeng nodded, then got up and left. Although he is a peak powerhouse in the Tianhe Realm, he also needs to rest, act at night, and naturally nourish his spirit during the day.
It is his character not to like words, and everyone will naturally not be surprised and continue with the next arrangement.
"Bearded, you have to come into contact with merchants from all over the world every day, and you may get useful clues from them, but remember to be subtle. ”
"Kunshan, you are in charge of investigating the evil cultivators to see if they have any signs of resurgence. ”
"Childe, what about me?" Mei Wu hurriedly asked, she was an idle person.
"You just stay in the mine, you can't be left unattended here. Li Xun left even after speaking, he knew that Mei Wu would definitely be entangled.
Sure enough, as soon as he got up, Mei Wu's voice sounded: "Childe, I want to swap with Huanfeng, I want to get that strange man! Childe, where are you going, Childe......
Li Xun walked away with oil on the soles of his feet, he didn't dare to let Mei Wu and Huanfeng swap, otherwise if he really met that strange person, Mei Wu would not cut off the other party's head impulsively.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another seven days passed. During this time, everything was going according to plan, there was no harvest on Huanfeng's side, and Kunshan's investigation did not find the resurgence of evil cultivation, but Hu Wan got a lot of news here.
It turns out that the disappearance of people is not limited to the villages near the imperial city, such incidents have also occurred all over Qingxiao, and they have become more frequent recently, almost to the point that there are several cases every night.
Such a vicious incident would naturally attract the attention of Emperor Qingxiao, but no matter how much he intensified, the situation was not controlled accordingly. I don't know if it's because the government is incompetent, or the tricks are too secretive.
......
Today is another spring rain, the rain is continuous, fine and falling, so that the distant mountains that have just sprouted green seem to be covered with a layer of shadows, blurred and hazy.
Li Xunlian sat on the top of the stone mountain behind the mine, letting the rain slowly wet his clothes, his eyes were solemn, looking at the sky.
The hands pinched and slowly raised, and a white tail of light rose between the fingers, this is the Xuan Qi, the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth that is becoming more and more difficult to absorb.
"Although the change is not obvious, it is still getting more and more serious after all......" muttered in a low voice, and the Xuan Qi was dispersed. This is only a short period of seven days, if it is seventy days or seven hundred days, Li Xunlian is a little unimaginable.
The mysterious qi is gradually frozen, the population is missing in a row, and the so-called abnormal things must have demons, is this a precursor to the end of the world!
Li Xunlian got up and swept down from the stone mountain, now the situation is getting more and more serious, he can't wait any longer, he has to determine the attitude of the Qingxiao royal family as soon as possible.
As soon as he returned to the vicinity of the lobby, Li Xunlian heard a noisy voice, the voice was rough and bold, who else could it be if it wasn't the second shopkeeper.
How could the second shopkeeper come, what major decision did the inn make!
With a pang in his heart, Li Xunlian hurriedly stepped forward, and at this moment the second shopkeeper was talking to Hu Wan, and there was no emotion on their faces as if they were seeing each other, but their expressions were abnormal, and they didn't know what was going on.
"Second shopkeeper, what's going on?"
Seeing that Li Xunlian was back, the second shopkeeper gave up Hu Wan and said, "Pack up and go to the palace with me." ”
The palace, what to do with the palace at this time, could it be that Emperor Qingxiao also intends to have a showdown.
"Is it the invitation of Emperor Qingxiao?" Li Xunlian frowned and asked, although he was also preparing to enter the palace this time, he didn't expect the royal family to take the lead in making a move.
"That's right, and there are also the first of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. The second shopkeeper paused for a moment, and then said: "Originally, I was going to invite the big shopkeeper to go in person, but the big shopkeeper had other important things, so I sent Lao Tzu down the mountain...... Don't talk about this yet, this matter is very important, so hurry up and set off with me. ”
The first of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, plus the innkeeper!
It seems that after the Qingxiao Emperor monopolized the medicine refining alien master, he is going to make a big move again!
Li Xunlian naturally knew the seriousness of the situation, and without delay, he went on the road with the second shopkeeper.
The imperial palace is located in the center of the imperial city, it is said that it is the most vigorous place of innate dragon qi in the Kyushu continent, and the underground thousands of zhang are suppressing the general trend of mountains and rivers.
This is folklore, credible but not entirely credible. Of course, Li Xunlian and the second shopkeeper didn't bother to care about this, they galloped all the way, and soon saw the eunuch who had already been arranged at the palace gate to wait for answer.
The palace is 100 times larger than the Chengwang Mansion, divided into two parts before and after, the first part is the place where the Qingxiao Emperor holds a major ceremony and issues an order, there are many halls here, surround the huge square, the square is located on the pedestal of up to ten zhang, the pedestal is a huge black stone with a radius of 3,000 zhang, there is no trace of any patchwork. It is engraved with many ancient characters, as well as mountains and rivers, which are used to suppress the general trend of mountains and rivers, which is majestic and solemn, and people can't help but feel admiration and insignificance and humility.
As for the latter part - "inner court" is the place where Emperor Qingxiao deals with government affairs and palace people, the main buildings in this part include gardens, studies, pavilions, mountains and stones, etc., all of which are courtyards by themselves, quiet and elegant, pleasant to the heart.
The place invited by the Qingxiao Emperor is the real dragon hall, that is, the hall of the civil and military hundred officials on the court, this hall is located in the middle of the square, covers an area of hundreds of zhang square circle, the eaves corner flying dragon and phoenix, the whole is brilliant.
As the eunuch made a long announcement, the two were introduced into the temple.
The hall is empty, sixteen three-hugging thick dragon stone pillars pass through the dome, eight dragons are rising and smoking, the first place is the Baidao white marble high-level, the dark gold dragon chair on the high level, the Qingxiao Emperor sits majestically.
"I've seen Your Majesty. Li Xun bowed his hand, kneeling naturally did not have to, but this gift of the younger generation was indispensable. The sound was not loud, and it echoed in this empty hall for a long time.
As for the second shopkeeper, he just arched his hand, he didn't need to bow down, let alone be a junior.
Emperor Qingxiao nodded, and there were already eunuchs who arranged for two people to sit on the left side, and there were two other people on this side, who were the first seat of the Buddha Sect and one of its disciples.
They didn't seem to have a good impression of the inn, and when they saw the two of them coming, they just closed their eyes and didn't say a word. Of course, Li Xunlian and the second shopkeeper didn't bother to take the initiative to get close, and they sat down separately, waiting for Qingxiao Emperor to speak.
However, before Emperor Qingxiao could speak, Li Xunlian felt strong hostility from the opposite side, that is, the position on the right side of the main hall.
There were three people on the opposite side, two Daoist people plus the prince Zhu Tong who was dressed in a purple gold dragon robe, needless to say, the hostility naturally came from the people of the Daoist Sect.
The first seat of the Taoist Sect is respected, and it is difficult to say whether Li Xunlian has a grudge in his heart, but he will definitely not show it on the surface. And the one next to him doesn't have such a good bearing.
This person is about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a white face, slanted eyebrows and sideburns, bright eyes, black hair tied up by a white jade crown, neat and resolute.
At this moment, he was staring at Li Xunlian closely, his face was extremely unkind, as if no one was restrained, he would use his sword to eliminate evil.
Li Xunlian frowned slightly after seeing this person, because the distance was too far away in the small village that night, he didn't see the other party's face clearly, but this feeling was remembered, if he guessed correctly, this person was the reckless Taoist priest.
After frowning, they looked at each other blatantly, firstly, Li Xunlian did not do anything bad, and secondly, he was very disgusted with being stared at like this.
It doesn't matter if there is hostility due to misunderstanding, but the other party's emotions obviously contain personal grudges, and this hostility is believed to be just because Li Xunlian folded the face of the Taoist sect.
Emperor Qingxiao felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, but he didn't say anything to ease it, but just said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, this emperor invited everyone here today to discuss a major matter related to the lifeline of Kyushu, and this important matter is related to a certain young man here!"
Something to do with a teenager!
What he said made people's hearts shocked, there were four teenagers in the scene, the Buddha Mirror Character Jingkong, the Taoist Qing Lingzi, the prince Zhu Tong, and the inn Li Xunlian.
In terms of identity, the four of them are all the future cornerstones of a giant, but in terms of individual strength, they are afraid that they are far from reaching the point of affecting the lifeblood of the world.
Of course, if the forces behind him help, it is not impossible to turn the clouds and rain in the Kyushu Continent, but Emperor Qingxiao has already pointed out in his words that this major event that affects the world is related to a certain teenager here.
It's just a teenager, so who could he be......
The second shopkeeper never pretends to be profound, and all the things he doesn't understand are written on his face. He swept a few teenagers first, but saw that whether it was Jingkong, Qing Lingzi, or even Zhu Tong, at this moment, he locked his eyes on Li Xunlian beside him.
"What do you mean, do you think it's my son-in-law?" The second shopkeeper was immediately dissatisfied and turned his head to Qingxiao Emperor.
There are four shopkeepers in the inn, but the four shopkeepers left in the early years and did not leave a disciple, and he himself has just accepted Hu Wan, so there are only two sons, in front of outsiders, the two shopkeepers are generally called my sons and daughters of Li Xunlian and another person.
This is the speaking habit of the second shopkeeper, but at this moment, there is undisguised partiality and questioning.
Favoritism is understandable, but questioning......
That's right, it's questioning. In the eyes of his life-seeking Shura Qin Kill, no matter if you are the first seat of the Ninth Five-Year Plan or the first seat of Buddhism, Lao Tzu is not stunned.
Qingxiao Emperor's eyes flashed slightly, to be honest, the inn had enough chips to confront the imperial court, but this did not mean that even the most basic respect was not needed.
Of course, you are a person in the inn, but you are not the big treasurer, and I am the person who carries the royal family, and it is disrespectful for you to do this!
"Even if the big shopkeeper is there in person, he will never talk to the emperor like this!" Qingxiao Emperor's voice was a little gloomy.
Seeing this, Li Xunlian hurriedly stepped forward to change the topic and said, "Your Majesty, what is the matter of what you are talking about, and who is that young man?"
In fact, Li Xunlian knew it well, and he could know from looking at Qing Lingzi's expression that the matter in Qingxiao Emperor's mouth must be related to the disappearance of the population, and that young man was naturally himself. The reason why he wanted to divert the topic so much was not because he was afraid of the royal family, but that the second shopkeeper spoke without thinking, and he spoke against each other with a few glances from others, and it was not a big deal to offend the royal family, but in their eyes, it became a suspicion that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.
They will feel that before they say that it is you, you will angrily ask if this is not a self-confession.
The second shopkeeper is irritable and reckless, but he is not stupid, and he is also reflected at the moment, and he sits down with hatred.
Emperor Qingxiao would not continue to care about him, turned his eyes to Li Xunlian, and said: "Recently, there have been frequent cases of missing people in various parts of the country, I think the virtuous nephew should know about it, right?"
"Nature knows. Li Xunlian nodded, but he heard Qing Lingzi on the other side snort coldly and said something pretending.
"This case is very secretive, and the emperor ordered officials from all over the country to vigorously investigate, but there have been no clues. But today's ......" Speaking of this, Emperor Qingxiao paused, turned his eyes to Dao Zong, and said, "Next, let's ask the witnesses to tell it in person." ”
is a good move, the name of an eyewitness, and all this offending thing is blamed on the Taoist sect.
The Taoist Sect Sect Sect Taixu Zhenren's eyebrows sank slightly, and Li Xunlian also looked at Qingxiao Emperor in some surprise, but the person concerned, Qing Lingzi, looked proud, stood up directly, and recounted what he saw that night.
His words were quite fierce, and he even convicted Li Xunlian with just that green mang, as if he had seen Li Xunlian slaughter the villagers first and then destroy the corpses by strange means.
"Virtuous nephew, what Qing Lingzi said is not like an apocryphal, you have something to say. After listening, Emperor Qingxiao asked Li Xunlian.
However, when he asked this sentence, he had a different plan in mind.
Not to mention that Qing Lingzi's evidence is insufficient, even if he comes up with more evidence, with the wisdom of Emperor Qingxiao, how can he believe that this matter was done by Li Xunlian. And the reason why he wanted to do this was nothing more than to take this opportunity to push the two great rivals of Dao Sect and the inn down on an opposing side, so as to ensure that in the next possible turmoil, the royal family could still be at ease and be on the edge of the whirlpool of battle.
Under Fang today, the royal inns are at the peak, and the Taoist Buddhism is fighting against each other. If these four major forces are divided into levels, then the royal family and the inn are one or two disputes, and Buddhism is almost indisputable to the world, although the power is also huge, but it can only be ranked fourth. In recent years, the Taoist sect has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and I believe that with time, it may not be able to keep pace with the royal family and inns.
This is the worry of the Qingxiao Emperor, after all, the Taixu real person is not as good as the big shopkeeper, this person was only in power more than ten years ago, but after taking power, what he did has already shown his ambition, I have to say that he is very clever and clever, and even has been clever to the point of making the Qingxiao Emperor jealous.
Then I had to take the lead, and when the smelting weapon was compared, the entanglement between Li Xunlian and Qingxuanzi Changfeng Zhenren made Qingxiao Emperor see a glimmer of opportunity, and this time Qing Lingzi insisted on Li Xunlian, which was really a God-given opportunity.
"How many undying deep hatreds and hatreds are derived from small things, and this time is definitely an excellent opportunity to intensify the contradictions between the two sides. Whispering to himself, Qingxiao Emperor waited for Li Xunlian's counterattack, he knew that with Li Xunlian's character, he would definitely fight back.
Here, after Qing Lingzi finished speaking, he was still unsatisfied, and said: "Your inn is overkill, my Qing Lingzi has long had the heart to support justice, but I can't catch the evidence for a long time, today there happens to be the first seat of the Holy and Buddha Sect here, if you confess, you can leave the whole corpse, if you still want to deny it, then don't blame me for the sword in the box!"
In the face of Qing Lingzi's ignorance and self-righteousness, Li Xunlian could only sneer, he vaguely saw the scheming of Qingxiao Emperor, and also wanted to get Qing Lingzi's plan, but Li Xunlian couldn't figure it out, how could he still sit quietly like a pine at this moment......
He was already deliberately embarrassed by the inn?
"Thousand Crows Devouring Hearts, do you think your Thousand Crow Sword is invincible!" Even though he understood that this was the Qingxiao Emperor's game, Li Xunlian was not prepared to swallow his anger because of this. Pressing the second shopkeeper who was about to get up again, he looked at Qing Lingzi coldly and said in a cold voice.
"I can't say anything, but it's more than enough to kill you. Qing Lingzi sneered, looking up at Li Xunlian with contempt.
"Presumptuous, this is the True Dragon Palace, how can you shout and roar!" At this time, the Taixu Zhenren, who had been silent, finally spoke, he first repelled Qing Lingzi, and then arched his hand to the second shopkeeper, and said: "The little apprentice is reckless, I hope that Qin Shuramo will be surprised, it's just ...... This matter is the disciple's own opinion, so I hope you can give a reasonable explanation. ”
Reasonable explanation? This is not a reasonable thing in the first place, how can it be reasonably explained!
If the second shopkeeper is in order, it is the inn annoyed and angry, and if there is really a dispute, the Taoist sect will have an advantage in the word "reason"!
The two powerhouses compete, the world is swaying, and only those who live in etiquette can be supported. This seemingly simple sentence of a real person is actually a game with the world as a game to seal a good chess eye!
"With just a little bit of green light, you asked us if we should have a reasonable explanation?" Li Xunlian poured tea for himself and said calmly at the same time.
"Do you dare to say that those few bits of blue light were not emitted by the Dragon Shadow Sword?" Qing Lingzi couldn't help but interject again.
This is a fact, after all, the person who was there that night was indeed Li Xunlian.
"The Dragon Shadow Sword can prove that the villagers have been harmed by me?Then you threaten to kill me today, if I mysteriously disappear tomorrow, will I definitely be thanks to you?" Li Xunlian took a sip of tea and sneered.
"Fart! Only you and your accomplices saw me appear that night, so they fled in a panic, but the innocent villagers have been killed, what else do you have to say, how can you be so shameless and forceful!" Qing Lingzi was indignant, and then dared to sweep towards the second shopkeeper, and said: "According to the grapevine, your accomplice should be this one." ”
The name of Yama Luo, once rumored in the rivers and lakes, at that time Qing Lingzi was still an infant child, and he was the number one who did not dare to cry at night when he heard that Qin killed the famous man, even if time passed, he did not dare to directly call out the name of the second shopkeeper.
Bang!
The sound of slapping sounded again, but it was not from the second shopkeeper, but from the Taixu real person who pretended to be angry and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, although Qin Shura made a big mistake in the past, but now he is the innkeeper, how can he do that murderous thing again!"
It's a nice thing to say, but this is the anger of the second shopkeeper who is changing the law.
Sure enough, the second shopkeeper couldn't stand the stimulation, and immediately got up and pointed to Taixu Zhenren: "Dog Dao, when Lao Tzu was in charge of the rivers and lakes, you were just an achilles dog next to the Taoist sect, and now you dare to sneer at Lao Tzu when you have gained momentum, why didn't you dare to put a fart when you saw me!"
This is a fact, Taixu Zhenren was still a Taixu son back then, and he did not have the support of the missionary scriptures, and his strength was far inferior to that of the second shopkeeper.
However, now, he has succeeded to the head of the Taoist Sect, and he has already relied on the supreme technique to become one thousand miles into the list of the great powers of the Shenhai, and the former Suo Shura was sealed by the big treasurer to seal part of his power, and now, if the two of them face each other, Taixu Zhenren should have a slight upper hand.
But he didn't continue to confront, because the goal of provoking Qin to kill had already been achieved, and he just needed to continue to be sanctimonious.
I saw that Taixu Zhenren sneered and said: "Qin Shura's dry temperament, you must know that this seat is whitewashing for you, but you are good or bad, it's really depressing." ”
"Whitewashing, using you to whitewash! Why didn't you come out to whitewash Lao Tzu when he was besieged! Besides, I Qin killed a dignified seven-foot body, and what I did was worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and the killing back then, which of the souls under the knife dared to say that they were not contrary to morality, and you jumped out and pretended to be good people, it was nothing more than involving your own interests!" The second shopkeeper was very excited, his temperament was like this, otherwise he would not have set off a bloody storm because he was not used to seeing it, and almost swept most of the rivers and lakes.
Of course, as the second shopkeeper said, no matter what those forces look like on the surface, they are very dirty on the inside.
"Amitabha. The first seat of the Buddha Sect recited lightly, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, obviously he didn't dare to deny it, but he naturally wouldn't admit it.
As the saying goes, beating people doesn't slap their faces, scolding people doesn't expose their shortcomings, this is too empty and real people to turn over old accounts to stimulate the second shopkeeper, it is really a move, Li Xunlian had the intention to find a perfect solution, but at this moment he changed his state of mind, and immediately sneered: "You are the head of a faction, so scheming, like twisting a woman, isn't it idle trouble?"
"Don't you just want to declare war on us, if you dare to open your mouth today, tomorrow the eight thousand disciples of the inn will dare to hit your Taoist lair!"
