Chapter 70: Suzaku
Yan Han had no distractions in the secret room, concentrating on carving the spirit stone with his telekinesis. For several days in a row, Yan Han didn't even get a drop of water and didn't eat any food.
This is not a good habit, Yan Han is a mortal after all, and he has not reached the state of Fang Shi's Bigu, but as long as Yan Han holds on to one thing, he will forget to sleep and eat.
Maybe the flow of spiritual power torn apart by his mental power can really replenish some energy for him.
Qianmu was always quietly by his side, she knew that Yan Han was working so hard, just to catch up with those seven days.
Yan Han is doing this for her, Qianmu's heart can't help but be sweet, but when she thinks of Yan Han's humiliation of her these days, she immediately burns with anger.
Outside the secret room, two old men sat in a living room, drinking tea. They guarded the direction of Yan Han's secret room, and no one from the Ximen family was allowed to enter without permission.
"Third brother, do you really believe that Yan Han can complete thirteen touchstones?"
An older old man, leisurely playing with the cup in his hand, he is Ximen Yunxuan's father, Ximen Cheng.
Ximen Cheng and Ximen Qi have a similar temperament and the same old way, but Ximen Cheng has a vicissitudes of life, and it seems that his energy is not as strong as Ximen Qi.
"Big brother, if you say you believe it, it's false. I don't think anyone in the world can make thirteen touchstones in seven days. But for this person to be able to sacrifice such an immortal weapon as Baolian Terrace, I am willing to gamble. If it happens, it will be worth it for our Ximen family to spend 1.6 million copper stones to complete the Gailing Array, and if not, Yan Han will be imprisoned in the Ximen family for our use, and I think the latter will be more valuable!"
Ximen Cheng laughed: "I can't imagine that the third brother wants to get Yan Han more than the Gailing Array!, then why didn't the third brother arrest him directly, do we need to respect him like this?"
"Big brother doesn't know, the people who want Yan Han are not only our Ximen family, but also Xigu. And if you really want Yan Han to do things for us convincingly, you can't force it. His value is said to be much more than that. β
Ximen Cheng nodded slightly, "The Gailing Great Array has always been a piece of my heart, if Yan Han can't make thirteen touchstones in seven days, then stay and let him do it for a lifetime, I have to be patient." β
At this time, Ximen Yunxuan was in her boudoir, her heart was irritable, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought of a woman in Yan Han's secret room who was alone with Yan day and night.
What's wrong with me, am I fighting for my sister? Yan Han, you are so hateful!
Seven days passed quickly, and when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the secret room, Yan Han woke up from the excessive consumption of mental power.
He glanced at Qianmu next to him, who was meditating and cultivating on a futon at this time.
Yan Han gently stroked Qianmu's long hair, smiled and said, "I didn't expect Senior Sister to sit down and still be so beautiful." β
Qianmu opened his eyes, and a trace of joy swept by: "Yan Han, you have finally woken up!
"I, Yan Han, make a move, there is no reason to fail!" Yan Han said proudly.
Qianmu stood up and took some food, fruits, and water at the door, and brought them to Yan Han.
These things were sent by Simon's family, and they were changed twice a day.
Yan Han devoured some things and almost choked to death.
Qianmu smiled as she covered her mouth.
After eating and drinking, Yan Han walked out of the door and found that there was no one guarding, but there were two coercions, which he could clearly sense.
Yan Han came to the hall and sure enough, he saw two old men, they were Ximen Cheng and Ximen Qi.
"Yan Han, today's time has come, I hope you will fulfill your promise. Ximen Qi's gaze was firmly fixed on Yan Han's empty hands, as if he was expecting something.
Yan Han smiled indifferently, "Thank you seniors for your trust, the thirteen touchstones have all been completed." β
"What!"
Ximen Qi was startled, lost his mouth, and then looked at the touchstone that Yan Han laid out on the table, and was speechless.
"Don't the seniors want me to complete the task?" Yan Han noticed the expressions of the two and asked suspiciously.
"Where? Although I believe in the little brother's ability, I just think it's incredible. β
Ximen Cheng was not too out of shape next to him, he carefully examined these touchstones, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"The Ximen family's Great Array of Gailing can finally get their wish... Yan Han, you can make thirteen high-level touchstones in such a short period of time, and sure enough, the hero is a teenager. Thank you very much!"
After that, things went well.
Yan Han directly got the divine beast bone worth as much as 1.6 million copper stones.
When taking over this divine beast bone, Ximen Cheng reminded Yan Han: "Yan Han, you have to remember, because of this divine beast bone, you have already offended the Nangong family, and they already know your identity. β
Yan Han didn't care, he even offended the Shenxiao Sect, the first sect in the world, and he didn't mind having another small sect with a cat and a dog.
After Yan Han got the Divine Beast Bone, he didn't give it to Qianmu directly, for fear that she would lose control again.
After that, Yan Han prepared to say goodbye to the Simon family. Ximen Cheng invited Yan Han to lunch, but Yan Han declined.
Before leaving, Ximen Yunxuan ran in and said to Yan Han: "Yan Han, before leaving, I hope you can explain, what is the matter between you and this woman?"
Yan Han felt inexplicable, "What's going on, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Miss Simon, right?"
"You... I asked for my sister!"
"Your sister? Do you mean Feng Pingjing? She doesn't seem qualified to ask me this!" Yan Han got up and left after speaking.
Ximen Yunxuan looked at his back and shouted behind him: "My sister was punished for your retreat, and you found another woman so quickly, do you treat her like this?"
"Punishment for retreat?" Yan Han suddenly felt a stir in his heart, stopped and asked, "Why was she punished?"
"Aunt Lin asks my sister to retreat and never see you, otherwise Aunt Lin will take your life!"
Ximen Yunxuan's words made Yan Han unable to calm down for a long time.
The elegant girl was in front of him again, but he felt so far away from Feng Pingjing.
He didn't seem to have the courage to love Feng Pingjing again, perhaps because the difference in status was too great, and the unattainable distance between ordinary people and Fang Shi, which made Yan Han recognize the reality.
"That's the path she chose. Yan Han sighed, and after speaking, he strode away.
Along the way, Yan Han was speechless, Qianmu was speechless, and it was not until they returned to the camp and saw Hu Hao, Xia Feng and others that Yan Han regained his old smile.
"If you don't come back, we think you kidnapped the fairy and ran away!" Xia Feng moved his hands and feet as soon as he saw Yan Han.
Yan Han returned to the tent and carefully handed the divine beast bone to Qianmu.
Qianmu sat on the edge of the bed with the Divine Beast Bone Plate, closed her eyes and felt the impact of the Divine Beast Bone on her.
After a while, Qianmu trembled all over, burst into tears, and finally couldn't stop crying on the bed.
Yan Han helped Qianmu up and asked, "Senior sister, what do you feel?"
"It's Suzaku! This is Suzaku's tailbone. It spreads its wings to cover the sky, its tail feathers are hundreds of feet long, and its mouth breathes flames that can burn the sky, but it is slain by a powerful alchemist. That Fang Shi was extremely terrifying, holding a two-foot-long seven-colored jade flute in his hand..."
"Suzaku is one of the four legendary spirit animals. Senior sister, how can you feel this?"
"I don't know, I just know that when I see it killed, it's very painful, it's very uncomfortable. That Fang Shi must be a demon!" Qianmu cried with tears streaming down his face.
Yan Han pondered for a while and said, "I heard that your Northern Underworld family is the only one that can communicate with demon beasts, is that the case?
"I don't know..."
Yan Han was helpless and comforted Qianmu to sleep quietly, but Yan Han was so excited that he couldn't sleep for a long time.
It turned out to be the tailbone of the sacred bird Suzaku, and the energy contained in this divine beast bone must be very amazing.
In the middle of the night, Qianmu suddenly sat up, startling Yan Han.
Qianmu returned to his usual calm and coldness.
"Yan Han, this divine beast bone will be handed over to you, you can use it to build a flame array. It has extremely strong fluctuations in fire elemental energy, which is no worse than the fire bead. β
Yan Han carefully took the divine beast bone, and sure enough, as Qianmu said, the fire element contained in the divine beast bone was extremely strong, and it was worthy of being the treasure of the firebird Vermilion Bird.
The next day.
Yan Han came to the flame array with the divine beast bone, he reimagined the design of the large array, and then inserted the tailbone of the Vermilion Bird into the center of the array.
Yan Han spent half a month carving the Dao patterns of the Divine Beast Bone and other high-grade spirit stones, and after dozens of ignition failures and the optimization of the magic array, finally at the end of the month, Yan Han's flame array succeeded!
The number of spirit stones consumed for ignition is almost zero, and the magic circle can be balanced according to the flow of spiritual power in the air.
Yan Han was ecstatic, he once again managed to break through himself.
And Qianmu is as well-behaved as a good woman these days, doing laundry, cooking, handing tea, tidying up tents, and so on.
Yan Han happily enjoyed all this, as if he had become accustomed to Qianmu's role as a housewife.
After another half a month, Yan Han expanded the flame array to seven hundred zhang wide, which could plug hundreds of kiln pits at the same time.
At this time, the mine camp was a busy scene, tens of thousands of people mobilized to make brick and tile mold blanks, and tens of thousands of people fired cooked blanks day and night, everyone sweated profusely, but everyone was in high spirits.
In the tent of the miners' association, Yan Han, Hu Hao, Xia Feng, Jiang Kuan and others began to design houses.
The principle is to build the strongest house with the least amount of brick and the least amount of wood, and the wood is also involved with great interest.
In total, they designed more than a dozen sets of drawings and then set up training courses.
Teach one group of people first, and then one group of people teach another group of people, and in this way, they spread the art of building houses very quickly.
In about a month, many brick houses were erected, and many of them were connected to each other and courtyards to each other, which would enhance the defense capability against the outside world.
Everyone was excited and wept when they saw the rapid changes in the mine camp.
That night, Yan Han fiddled with a spirit stone in his hand, carving the Dao pattern.
This spirit stone, he has been carving for a month, this is the most complex piece of Dao pattern spirit stone he has ever designed and depicted. Yan Han expected it to be done today.
The function of this spirit stone is to allow a monk's cultivation to not be affected by the Great Array.
Frankly speaking, this is a very dangerous spirit stone, and once it falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But Yan Han must consider the safety of the mine camp, which is not from the outside world, but from the inside, because in the miner camp of hundreds of thousands of people, fights occur from time to time.
Now the security team is handed over to the three kings, but sometimes the three guys have limited force and cannot subdue a relatively large brawl, so Yan Han made this spirit stone, intending to find a mage to lead the security team.
But the problem is where to get a guardian mage who is willing to be a miner?
Yan Han glanced at Qianmu, who was doing things seriously beside him.
Qianmu has been very attentive to Yan Han recently, and she herself is so busy that she has even forgotten about her cultivation.
Recently, she and Xia Feng's wife have been planning to build a few women's ready-to-wear stores, and even named a store after themselves.
She snatched the remaining spirit stones from Yan Han to build the Flame Array, and scraped together enough capital to open stores, and now it was up to her to design the scale and faΓ§ade of these stores.
Yan Han inadvertently threw the spirit stone in his hand to Qianmu, almost hitting her. Qianmu glared at Yan Han.
"Senior sister, bring this?"
"What do you want me to do with this?"
"This is to allow you to maintain your original cultivation in the Great Array. I want you to take on the task of policing the mine camp. β
As soon as Qianmu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he held it in his hand and carefully felt the effect of the spirit stone.
After a while, Qianmu giggled, and said with a soothing look at Yan Han, "Little Brother Yan Han, thank you so much!"
Yan Han "groaned" in his heart, and Qianmu showed his charm, which was definitely not a good thing, and he immediately regretted it.
"Division... Senior sister, I suddenly remembered, the Dao pattern of this spirit stone is not sound, it may not be suitable for you, and I will decide the candidate for public security. You'd better give it back to me!"
Qianmu threw the spirit stone in his hand, "What is in my hand, there is no reason to return it!"
At this time, her inner Dan's spiritual power became more and more intense, and the resulting fluctuations blew Yan Han's tent with a whirring sound, as if it was a suppressed demon, and suddenly broke the prison and released a powerful momentum.
Qianmu suddenly laughed loudly: "Yan Han, you humiliated me before, I want you to pay me back ten times now!"
After speaking, a jade hand struck Yan Han like lightning.
At the moment when Qianmu lost his temper, Yan Han had a premonition that things were not good, and secretly scolded himself for being too soft-hearted, thinking that Qianmu had been influenced by the life of a miner and had forgotten what happened before, and now he knew that his senior sister was quite a person who held grudges.
Seeing that Qianmu said that he would turn his face, he would turn his face, and before Qianmu attacked, Yan Han had already fled out.
Yan Han finally comprehended Qianmu's terrifying strength, and one after another true qi came towards him behind him, Yan Han didn't even dare to look at it, the only thing he could do was to run away with his life.
In this way, Qianmu chased and killed Yan Han for a night, making chickens and dogs jump, and even many half-built houses were collapsed by Qianmu, bricks and tiles were flying, dust was flying, and a small-scale war broke out in the big array.
The miners heard the noise outside in the middle of the night and ran out to look, but only to find two figures as fast as lightning, constantly circling around the large array.
"Isn't that a fairy?"
"Yes, why is the fairy chasing Yan Han!"
"Oh my God, I didn't expect the fairy who has always been gentle and quiet to be so fierce!"
Everyone understood the situation and went back trembling again. Who dares to talk too much about such a violent fairy!
In the end, Yan Han still got rid of Qianmu, but the price was also very bleak, and Yan Han's several months of spirit stone inventory was exhausted.
When it was almost early in the morning, Yan Han hid in Xia Feng's house in fear, and slept all night trembling and hugging Xia Feng's thigh.
When he woke up in the morning, Xia Feng asked, "Yan Han, why is the fairy mad?"
"Grandma, I told you that she's been racing like this all along! Didn't you mumble to me every day that I abused her? Now you see it, this is the price of soft-heartedness!"
Yan Han scolded with dark circles under his eyes that he hadn't slept well all night.
When Yan Han stepped out of Xia Feng's bed, he found that his sister-in-law was also on the bed, Yan Han was shocked, I was afraid that he hugged the wrong thigh last night!
Yan Han looked embarrassed, "Xia Feng, didn't you quarrel with your sister-in-law and sleep in separate beds all the time?"
Xia Feng said embarrassedly: "There was a lot of movement outside last night, and she was the same as you, so she came over because she was afraid." β
At this time, the sister-in-law covered the quilt and said shyly: "Yan Han, people don't care, what do you care? Last night you hugged someone's small waist so comfortable! Isn't there still a place for this bed? In the future, the three of us will squeeze together, so let's live like this!"
Yan Han walked out of the door in a panic and almost fell.
At noon, Yan Han hid in a hidden place, looking at the state of his home from afar.
Yan Han found that Qianmu tossed out all the inventory in his house, large boxes, small boxes, valuable ones, and worthless ones, making a miasma.
Looking at Qianmu's actions, he hated the root of his teeth.
At this time, Yan Han suddenly heard Qianmu's voice: "Yan Han... If you don't come out, I'm going to burn all your valuable treasures. And the gold that you will bring to the earth..."
As soon as he heard "gold", Yan Han "chuckled" in his heart, and immediately panicked, that was his lifeline.
After almost a year of hard work, I managed to get a few ingots!
Yan Han saw Qianmu holding a piece of gold in her hand, holding it high, and soon the piece of gold was pinched into powder by her.
After that, Qian Mu shouted at the surroundings with a playful smile: "Yan Han, I know you are nearby, if you don't come out again, I will let all your gold come to naught!"
Eventually, Yan Han gave in.
Yan Han walked up to Qianmu leisurely, and said stubbornly: "Senior sister, it is better to settle the grievance than to tie the knot..."
When Qianmu saw that Yan Han was finally willing to show up, she chuckled: "Yes, I also think that it is better to settle the grievance, so let me beat you up today!"
After speaking, Qianmu was unceremonious, and beat Yan Han violently.
Then all the spirit stones on Yan Han's body that escaped to save his life were scraped, and since then Yan Han has completely fallen into the hands of Qianmu.
There were not many people around who dared to watch, but now that they saw Yan Han's tragic image, they finally understood the cruelty of this fairy.
The three kings were still more courageous, and the three of them came out and said to Qianmu: "Fairy, why did you beat Yan Han?
The result can be imagined, the three kings were suddenly degraded by Qianmu, and they cried and begged for mercy to avoid escaping from death.
After that, no one dared to intercede for Yan Han.
Everyone redefined the image of the fairy and had a prefix: Demon Fairy.
