29 Deception and revenge
Cao Chen has always thought that he is a complete profiteer, and Huang Shaoyan, who has been with Cao Chen for nearly half a year, also agrees with Cao Chen's self-opinion.
However, in the eyes of the cultivators in the big world, Cao Chen was a complete fool.
Cao Chen knew that his knowledge had a few catties and a few taels, so he asked Chen Ling and the others to open the price first, and then directly doubled it a hundred times. The result of this practice is that the disciples of the one hundred and twenty-six sects on Xiaoliang Mountain are full of enthusiasm.
Even Chen Ling, who has always been quite calm, blushed, and couldn't hide her angry expression. She tried her best to control her emotions and asked Cao Chen word by word, "Sister Cao, do you know the value of immortal stones?!" ”
"I know, I know, of course. A hundred immortal stones are exactly where the value of the phoenix egg lies. Cao Chen looked at the shiny stone full of spiritual power in Chen Ling's hand through the crack, and his eyes lit up. She had seen the spiritual power fluctuations that the small round stone in the Heavenly Path Array had exhibited after absorbing all her own crystals. The immortal stone in front of him was more than ten times stronger than the spiritual power fluctuations presented by the small round stone!
Cao Chen believes that this business cannot be lost.
"Are you sure you know the value of the fairy stone?" Chen Ling gritted her teeth and continued to ask, "One hundred immortal stones!" You just have to cultivate all the veins in the True Realm for you! ”
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, business is not benevolent." Cao Chen said, "Since the price can't be negotiated, then forget it." ”
"Wait!" Chen Ling said, "Two immortal stones, no more, if there are more, we will ......."
"A hundred, not one."
"You ......" Chen Ling was angry, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and said for a long time, "I'll discuss it with the elders of the sect!" With that, turn around and leave.
Cao Chen shouted, "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." I can wait, I'm afraid this phoenix egg can't wait. By the way, it seems that this phoenix egg has been sitting for a long time, I don't know if it will stink......"
Chen Ling soon returned.
She glared, "A hundred is a hundred!" However, we have to get the phoenix egg first! ”
"This is not negotiable, you must give me the immortal stone first."
After another dispute, Cao Chen was stubborn and insisted on "payment before goods".
Chen Ling was also helpless, and directly threw away the storage ring containing a hundred immortal stones.
Cao Chen took the storage ring and handed it to Huang Shaoyan, Huang Shaoyan took out a fairy stone, looked at it, and was shocked. The spiritual power on the immortal stone is surging. Such a thing full of spiritual power, also called fairy stones, is it a thing in the fairy world?
A hundred, not a single one.
Cao Chen was very satisfied, smiled hehehe, and threw the phoenix egg out.
The basic credibility problem, Cao Chen never wanted to destroy.
With so many immortal stones, Cao Chen felt that he probably didn't have to worry about spars in the future. Moreover, she felt that her cultivation had already reached the third layer of qi refining, and perhaps relying on this immortal stone, she could quickly break through to the fourth layer of qi refining.
She couldn't wait to use the fairy stone, so she went back to Qingyun Valley with Huang Shaoyan.
The two of them each took an immortal stone and went back to their rooms to practice.
After a while, Cao Chen pinched the fairy stone and pushed open the door and walked out. Raising his eyes and seeing Huang Shaoyan standing at the door, he blurted out, "Shaoyan, what's the matter with this thing?" Why is the spiritual power gone all of a sudden? I didn't absorb that much ......," Cao Chen said, noticing that Huang Shaoyan's face was gloomy and terrifying.
Huang Shaoyan said, "We have been deceived by these poor ghosts!" This is not some fairy stone. An ordinary stone, and then an extremely clever formation, on the surface, it seems to be full of spiritual power. ”
Cao Chen's eyes widened, looking ignorant.
……
The entire cultivation realm has gone crazy with laughter.
Cao Chen's name as a "fool" is even more confirmed.
The acting skills of Chen Ling and others are even more superb, so much so that Tianshan Zong Chufan claimed that he could award an Oscar to these hundreds of people.
……
Huang Shaoyan smiled bitterly, "There are so many masters in the cultivation realm, the two of us have too low cultivation, and we have been deceived by the masters." Saying that, Huang Shaoyan looked outside the house, and sighed in his heart, "It can be regarded as a lesson, anyway, what kind of phoenix egg, didn't you say that it is not a good thing." ”
Cao Chen didn't seem to hear Huang Shaoyan's words, his little face kept shaking, and he looked very rhythmic. In her opinion, the phoenix eggs are not worth much, she has eaten a lot more, and she doesn't care about this thing at all. However, she was deceived! It's okay to be deceived by Yuetong's bastard, to be deceived by a bunch of poor ghosts......
She can't stand it!
"You...... I want to open a little. Feed! Feed! Huang Shaoyan pushed Cao Chen.
Cao Chen came back to his senses, glanced at Huang Shaoyan, suddenly turned around and went back to the room, and then slammed the door shut.
Huang Shaoyan opened his mouth, wondering if this guy was crazy? With a sigh, Huang Shaoyan returned to the room to cultivate.
What Huang Shaoyan didn't expect was that for more than ten consecutive days, Cao Chen was sitting in the room and tinkering with something. Except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, there was no one at all.
Huang Shaoyan finally couldn't help it and asked Cao Chen, "What are you doing these days?" ”
"Refinery."
"Oh."
"There's no rush for refining weapons, right? It's time to think about finding a place to hide. The crack in Xiaoliang Mountain is getting bigger and bigger, and in a few days, it may be like the crack in Qingyun Valley, and there will be no more thunder and lightning to hinder the entry and exit. When the time comes, those poor ghosts will definitely want to skin us. ”
"I know." Cao Chen nibbled on a mouthful of dry food, poured another sip of water, stood up with a sigh, and went back to the room.
Huang Shaoyan glanced at the door that Cao Chen had brought shut, and couldn't help but guess curiously what magic weapon Cao Chen was refining. This guy is an anti-spirit cultivator, and it's very weird, so I can't figure out what good things he can refine. However, having said that, she is also a third-level Qi refining cultivator, and she doesn't have any high-level materials, so she probably won't be able to make any big names.
Huang Shaoyan took a mouthful of dry food, turned his face to look at the gray world outside, and remembered the disaster in Qingyun Valley not long ago, his sword eyebrows tightened.
From the storage ring, he took out the bracelet, thinking of Yunshang, Huang Shaoyan was a little panicked.
It's been so long, Yunshang, are you okay?
The bodies of Yun Sheng and the elder in the valley were not found in the forest of the dead, which means that they are not dead yet! If they are not dead, where are they?
Just thinking about it, Huang Shaoyan suddenly saw a white figure standing alone on a roof not far away.
The evil spirit holding the magic weapon flying sword, with his hands on his back, stood on the roof, looking up at the gray sky, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
With a move in his heart, Huang Shaoyan hesitated again, but he still couldn't help it, and quickly ran under the roof where the evil spirit was.
The evil spirit didn't seem to notice Huang Shaoyan's approach at all, and still looked up at the sky.
Huang Shaoyan also looked up at the sky, but found nothing abnormal. Look at the evil spirit again, it seems to be out of the blue.
"Ahem." Huang Shaoyan cleared his throat, "Senior ......"
The evil spirit lowered his head and looked at Huang Shaoyan.
"You...... Have you ever seen a man and a woman, the woman is wearing a purple shirt and skirt, and she is holding an embroidery knife in her hand. Huang Shaoyan said, "The man looks like he is in his fifties......"
Before Huang Shaoyan's words were finished, the evil spirit nodded.
Huang Shaoyan chuckled in his heart and blurted out, "Where is it!" ”
"Dead ......"
“……”
……
In the room, Cao Chen glanced at a marble-sized gadget in his hand, which looked like a dirty piece no matter how he looked at it, and couldn't help grinning.
After so many busy days, it's finally done.
The anger that had been pent up for many days seemed to be released all at once.
Cao Chen, who was in a good mood, pushed open the door and went to find Huang Shaoyan.
"Shaoyan!" Saying that, Cao Chen pushed open Huang Shaoyan's door, saw that the room was empty, couldn't help but be stunned, and walked out of the room, only to see Huang Shaoyan squatting at the door of the courtyard.
"Haha, Shaoyan, my magic weapon has been refined!" Cao Chen ran over and patted Huang Shaoyan on the shoulder fiercely, and then noticed the evil spirit standing on the roof not far away, looking up at the sky.
Subconsciously looking up at the sky, Cao Chen asked, "What are we looking at as a neighbor?" ”
Didn't get a response.
Cao Chen felt strange in his heart, turned his face to look, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Huh? Why are you crying? Cao Chen was really a little surprised.
Huang Shaoyan's eyes were red and swollen, and the tears on his face kept falling. He didn't say a word, just stared blankly ahead. After a long time, he replied, "Yunshang is dead." ”
"Huh? How do you know? ”
Huang Shaoyan glanced at the neighbor's evil spirit not far away.
"What did it tell you?"
"Hmm."
"It killed?"
"It says no." Huang Shaoyan naturally asked the evil spirit at the first time.
Cao Chen raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Okay, the festival is smooth." There are many beautiful women in the group of poor ghosts on Xiaoliang Mountain, and when you have a chance, my sister will introduce you to one. After saying this, Cao Chen suddenly realized that his words were used to persuade lovelorn men to be fine. It seems a bit inappropriate for a "widowed" man to say this.
Apparently it doesn't seem to be inappropriate, but it's certainly inappropriate.
"Get out!" Huang Shaoyan said.
Of course Cao Chen didn't get out, although she didn't like to be scolded, she understood Huang Shaoyan's mood very well. For Huang Shaoyan, he was probably mentally prepared for Yunsheng's death, but it was still a little unbearable to suddenly get accurate information.
Cao Chen didn't speak, just sat on the threshold with Huang Shaoyan.
The evil spirit not far away, like a statue, kept looking up at the sky, not moving.
After sitting for too long, Cao Chen couldn't sit still. She is not a person who likes to be quiet, and she has hollowed out her mind and thought about how to comfort Huang Shaoyan. "People can't be resurrected after death, so don't think too much about it. Live well, Sister Yunshang will be relieved in the spirit of the sky......"
"Alas......" Huang Shaoyan suddenly sighed and said, "You don't have someone you like, you won't understand." ”
"Uh......"
Huang Shaoyan suddenly took a breath, wiped his face, his eyes were still looking ahead, and said softly, "Yunshang and I can be regarded as childhood sweethearts." I'm a year older than her, but her qualifications are better than mine, so we started cultivating with the elders of the valley in the same year......"
The good memories made Huang Shaoyan feel a little better.
"Every time I can't beat her, she always likes to slap my ass with an embroidery knife naughtily......"
"She said she would marry me in the future, and joked that on that day, I would cover the bedroom floor with hedrons......"
Hearing Huang Shaoyan mention the interesting things in the past, Cao Chen also sighed with emotion, and said, "I really envy you, there is a beautiful girl who is a childhood sweetheart, what a ......"
Huang Shaoyan glanced at Cao Chen and said, "When trading before, the guy named Chu Fan mentioned by those poor ghosts, I remember that you seemed to say that you were playmates from childhood to adulthood. ”
At the mention of Chu Fan, Cao Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed. If you hadn't followed him to cultivate the truth in the first place......
Seeing Cao Chen's bitter face, Huang Shaoyan guessed: "Lovers? ”
"Almost."
"Oh, I see." Huang Shaoyan smiled slightly and said, "Back then, Yunshang and I secretly admired each other for a long time, and finally pierced this layer of window paper. ”
Cao Chen gave Huang Shaoyan a roll of his eyes and said, "You know a fart!" With that, Cao Chen stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said, "Let's go, go to Xiaoliangshan Crack to have a look." Those poor ghosts! Dare to lie to Lao Tzu! It's really ......" Cao Chen clenched the newly refined magic weapon that he had been holding in his hand.
"Ahem, I think it's really ...... for a girl to call herself 'Lao Tzu' If you...... If you're not happy, it's better to call yourself 'old lady'. ”
Cao Chen didn't bother to pay attention to Huang Shaoyan, and he didn't want to quarrel with him. She could see that although Huang Shaoyan began to laugh with herself again, the deep sadness in his eyes always seemed to linger.
……
Cao Chen and Huang Shaoyan came to the crack in Xiaoliang Mountain to check.
However, in just ten days, the crack in Xiaoliang Mountain has become a little bigger, and it looks like it is about the same size as the crack in Qingyun Valley.
At that moment, the thunder and lightning will no longer appear, and the poor ghosts of Xiaoliang Mountain will be able to enter the Forest of the Dead unscrupulously.
But......
Cao Chen wouldn't let them get their wish.
She took out the crude magic weapon she had refined from the storage ring, then dug a hole in the crack, threw the magic weapon into it, and then punched a magic weapon into it.
"Run!" Cao Chen said, pulling out his legs and running.
Huang Shaoyan was a little unsure, and while guessing what powerful magic weapon Cao Chen had refined, he followed Cao Chen and ran wildly.
The two of them ran not far away, and suddenly a sharp and piercing whistle-like sound came from behind them. Moreover, the sound would not stop, it kept ringing.
Huang Shaoyan glanced back with some surprise.
The sharp whistle attracted several wandering evil spirits around him to approach the rift......
……
Holy Sword Sect.
Guiyi Zhenren found Zhengyi and asked about the progress of refining the magic weapon that entered the Forest of the Dead.
Zheng Yi smiled and said, "I recently researched and found that we don't actually need to make this magic weapon. You see, the crack is getting bigger every day. If I'm not bad, I'm sure the day after tomorrow will be far enough away from this crack that there will be no more thunder and lightning when the time comes......"
As he was talking, in the image of the Tianshan Spiritual Vision that had been playing continuously in front of him, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded.
Zhengyi and Guiyi were both stunned, and looked at the image at the same time.
After a moment, Zhengyi said with a bitter face, "It's okay now, if I'm not bad as expected...... Thinking of the beginning of this method that he seemed to have used just now, his face was a little embarrassed, and he continued, "Now the entrance to this crack must be full of evil spirits, and I want to go in...... It's hard. ”
Guiyi naturally understands what the sharp whistle can do. He looked at Zhengyi, and then at the disciples of the one hundred and twenty-six sects who were looking at each other on Xiaoliang Mountain, and said with a wry smile, "The phoenix egg has been deceived, but I don't know if it's worth it...... This Cao anchor is too damaging to make a group of evil spirits as watchdogs! ”
