Chapter 356: The World (2)
Deep in the gloomy alleys of the imperial capital, the high priest was behind a huge garbage sorting bin, observing the people coming and going in the sunlight. Many footsteps passed by the alleyway, but they didn't notice the scrutinizing eyes at all.
In the presence of the high priest. Inside the garbage and sewage, lay two men in formal suits, their throats had been cut from them, blood and filth flowing together, masked by the stench of garbage, hidden in this corner so close to the light world.
Perhaps in a few days, the Imperial Capital's Xunluo cameras will find two decomposing corpses during a routine inspection, but they will never know who their lives are lost in.
The High Priest took a deep breath and shrank his body back into the corner, rummaging through the bodies of the two men to find the two terminals. Other than that, there was nothing left of them, which made the high priest feel quite irritated.
Has the world of technology evolved to an age where paper money is not used? The high priest thought to himself, and finally put the terminal in his pocket, although it could not be opened at all without fingerprints and voiceprints, but maybe when it would come in handy?
Toppling the garbage heap next to him and covering up the two men for the time being, he didn't expect to be able to hide them for much longer. Just from the logistics mouth of the two thousand three thousand colleges, he has already received enough news to learn about An Xiaoyu's news and current situation.
Since the Battle of the Hundred Provinces, An Xiaofa has disappeared, and no one knows where the Jade Shou Lingzun took her. The high priest's heart was a little calculating, and he sneered in his heart.
It seems that the junior of the first Wei family really didn't deceive people, but obviously his mind was not pure, and he originally thought it was a trap, but now it seems that it may still be a good way to delay time.
But am I such an easy person to deceive? The High Priest quietly exited the alley and disappeared into the depths of the city, not heading to the Three Thousand Academy, he had other plans of his own.
At the same time, the high priest's followers received a video, and soon the video reached the desktops of the offices of the heads of the first Wei and third An families. In the video, Wei Qingxuan and An Xing were unconscious, and fell on the cold and dark ground, tied up by ropes.
After getting this video, the An family and the Wei family invariably chose to keep it secret, but sent reliable people in the family to exchange information. And these two reliable people are An Qianli and Wei Fangyuan.
Although An Qianli and Wei Fangyuan's cultivation is far behind, one master and one grandmaster, but An Qianli is also the leader of the previous generation of cultivators, and Wei Fangyuan's demon is really an outlier. If it weren't for the fact that the Wei family's direct family didn't have other cultivators who could handle it, they wouldn't have let Wei Fangyuan come over.
No one knows where they met when they left the house, or what they said. The people who got the news and were paying attention to this matter only knew that after the An family and the Wei family exchanged information, the two families made a voice at the same time.
They notified the unknown enemy, asked to see Wei Qingxuan and An Xing himself, and then listened to the other party's request, and the two sides conducted secret negotiations, and finally settled the matter, and if Wei Qingxuan and An Xing did not have any accidents, the two families would not pursue it later.
The high priest hid in the corner of the imperial capital, and after getting the news, he sneered again and again, not believing that the Wei family and the An family would be so kind.
First of all, there is a huge loophole in this statement.
Under the strength of the An family, if they really let them see Wei Qingxuan and An Xing, it would be impossible for them to control the two of them in their own hands. Once exposed, what he will face is a stormy raid, and Wei Fangyuan and An Xing will inevitably be rescued.
As for the rest...... Although I don't know where it is for the time being, as long as the high priest is controlled, the mastermind of all conspiracies, I think his followers will not act rashly.
As for listening to the demands and negotiating secretly, it is just to save the face of the family, in order to hide the matter underground, so as not to let the people of the imperial capital think that the family has been reduced to the point of being coerced by others in the new millennium, which will have a fatal impact on the future development of the family.
And it also means that both are warning the high priest at the same time. If the matter was put on the bright side and known to everyone, then they would rather give up Wei Qingxuan and An Xing than compromise with him. Anyway, it will not be the An family and the Wei family who will bear An Xiaoyu's anger at that time, but you.
And when the promise not to pursue is even more dazzling with loopholes.
Even if the Wei family and the An family will not be investigated, won't there be other forces?
An Xiaoyu, the Imperial Pavilion, the Garrison, the Military Commission, the Nine Daoguan, the Three Thousand Academy, and the Cultivation Alliance can even hire some underground forces such as Gray Rope, anyway, they have all kinds of means to crush each other into scum afterwards.
And all the High Priest has to do now is never be led by the nose by them.
So he passed another message through the dark line: "My conditions are very clear, you are not allowed to interfere, if I don't see An Xiaoyu appear within twenty-four hours, or I see other forces involved in this matter, I will tear up the ticket immediately!" ”
After getting this news, An Qiancheng was a little uncomfortable.
The other party's only request is to find An Xiaoyu and let An Xiaoyu come here to see him by himself. This requirement, if it is placed in normal times, of course, they are willing to fulfill it directly. Not to mention An Xiaoyu's own strength is very high, and there is still Yushou standing behind him, which is simply foolproof.
But now is the time to ......
An Qiancheng rubbed his eyebrows, you want to see An Xiaoyu, don't I want to see it? The An family wants to know where An Xiaoyu is, the Wei family also wants to know where An Xiaoyu is, the Three Thousand Academy wants to know, and all the forces tied to An Xiaoyu want to know.
Even the first Lei family, who lost the Lei Book and imprisoned Guan Shantong without doing anything, wanted to know, where did An Xiaoyu go, and where did he hide the Lei Book with him?
But does anyone still know where she is?
Nope!
An Qiancheng began to doubt the purpose of the high priest, he felt that this person's purpose was not An Xiaoyu at all, or he wanted to embarrass him for An Qianyan. It may be that the enemies of the An family and the Wei family at the beginning are now taking advantage of this reason and opportunity to take revenge on them.
As for An Xiaoyu, it's just an excuse to tear up the ticket.
Although he thought so, An Qiancheng did not characterize this incident, he still held a conservative attitude, and cooperated with the Wei family to start looking for various clues of the high priest in the imperial capital. At the same time, according to the previous route of action of Wei Qingxuan and An Xing, as well as the news from the last An family guards, they also began to secretly search the entire ancient city and its surroundings.
None of this escaped the eyes of the high priest, but he did not pay attention.
The entrance door of the east room, only he knows, it is easy to be discovered, and there is not even a camera in that place, how can they look for traces? All traces have been erased by him, and so many years of immortality have made his actions nuanced.
And he has already made it clear that there are only two requirements, and he will see An Xiaoyu within twenty-four hours, and no other forces will be allowed to interfere. Now the An family and the Wei family have only sent their own men, and they have not violated the agreement between them, which is also beyond reproach.
The High Priest is like a rat in a dark hole, waiting for the master of the place to bring the poisoned cheese to his mouth, and then he will remove the poison, enjoy the cheese, and let them know that his sect is not easy to bully.
At the same time, the entire imperial capital set off a craze to find An Xiaoyu.
Everyone was looking for An Xiaoyu, and they all wanted to know where Yu Shou Lingzun had taken An Xiaoyu to, and wanted to find out her, see if she was safe, ask her if Lei Shu was still in her hands, and let her go to see the person behind her, rescue Wei Qingxuan and wake up.
However, no matter how they searched, the people in the entire imperial capital were going crazy, and no one knew where An Xiaoyu was.
"Guan Shantong because of the appointment of Guan Qianchuan this time, which led to the loss of Lei Shu, and in the process of chasing Guan Qianchuan, he let him slip away from under his nose with Lei Shu, and then caused Lei Shu to be divided into two, part of it is in your place, and a title page is in the hands of Gray Rope, so he is still in prison."
An Xiaoyu was in the administrator's arms, and finally adapted to the changes in her body, and felt the rhythm of the soul in her body and the entire avenue. The sound of the end of the Dao, which could only be heard in the Divine Soul Space at the beginning, now only needs her to release the Divine Soul Rhythm, and she can feel it anytime and anywhere.
This is the next state of spiritual cultivation with God.
Since then, An Xiaoyu has crossed the realm of human customs and reached the cultivation of the earth gate stage, and the generation of this rhythm confirms that An Xiaoyu's cultivation has reached the first level of the earth pass realm - tranquility. The spirit and soul communicate with each other, and the rhythm of the two is harmonious, from the body to the soul, completely beyond the shackles of the world, quiet and far-reaching.
This is the main point of the cultivation of the tranquility level, connecting the entire divine soul with the rhythm of the Great Dao to achieve a dynamic harmony, which takes a long time to run, and there is no shortcut to take except for experiencing the Great Dao between life and death like this time.
While feeling the improvement of the realm, An Xiaoyu also listened to the administrator talk to him about the things outside in the past week or so.
"For the school's course, I've already asked for your leave. Moreover, after this battle of the Hundred Provinces, the mecha department specially promoted your military rank, rewarded for meritorious deeds, and awarded the rank of second lieutenant according to the standards of national master realm cultivators, and you have already caught up with Chi Mo. ”
"And after you have a military rank, you will no longer be subject to the jurisdiction of the escort team in the future, and you will no longer have to go to the escort team to accept any daily tasks, you only need to obey the deployment of the military commissar and Zuoqiu Zhizuo at a critical time. You are so familiar with Pei Hu and Zuoqiu Kid, you can't just do whatever you want. ”
"Your friends are quite worried about you, recently, in order to relax, Wei Qingxuan also took them out on a trip, just this weekend. It seems that there is some strange trouble, probably because the bad luck on your body has not been released nowhere, and it has been transferred. ”
An Xiaoyu instantly became energetic when she heard it: "Then I'll go to them." ”
The administrator pressed her head and pressed her into his arms like a kitten: "Don't worry, don't worry, even if you go now, the enemy has not yet been exposed." Even if you find them, there is no way to solve them, so let's stabilize the realm first. ”
"You just broke through to the human spirit this time, and then you broke through to tranquility between life and death, which makes me a little overwhelmed." The administrator took a sip: "After you arrived at the human spirit, you are no longer a creature between heaven and earth, you can be regarded as a half-spirit creature, and there are some things that even I can't see through. ”
"It's true that this thing you broke through is not my will, but I believe that you can stabilize the realm during this time."
An Xiaoyu raised her head and asked, "You have so much confidence in me?" ”
The administrator smiled: "Of course I have confidence in you, in the whole heaven and earth, all the time, there is no one more talented and savvy than you. ”
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Taller than you?" An Xiaoyu smiled.
The administrator also laughed happily with her: "Taller than me, taller than the sea of three thousand books, higher than the entire sky, otherwise how could you become the existence destined to save mankind?" ”
An Xiaoyu was sweet in her heart, shrunk into the administrator's arms, and gestured with her thumb and index finger: "Actually, don't be so tall, as long as you are a little taller, I will be content." ”
It's rare that the administrator didn't spit out words today, which made An Xiaoyu feel extremely happy. Thinking that he has now reached a slight height, reaching the level of silence at the beginning, I don't know how happy he and Bai Amaranth would be if they could know.
And now there is a person who loves him by his side, even if the world is cold, there will always be a large area of warmth in this basement. Even if the whole world is against him, the administrator will still stand behind him, facing the Heavenly Dao without flinching.
Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu's heart was filled with warmth, and the rhythm of the divine soul began to stabilize rapidly, and the part connected to the avenue also began to grow steadily, and it was about to reach saturation.
The Administrator continued, "After the last incident, the little boy who originated in the Imperial Capital and the mastermind of the Unknown were discovered on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. In the end, the little boy was killed, but Flower Face escaped, perhaps because he should not have died. ”
"After Gray Rope got the title page of the Thunder Book, he didn't move, and the people of the First Thunder Family who were watching the location of the Thunder Emperor were trying their best to get close to Gray Rope and find out the whereabouts of the title page of the Thunder Book. If you can get things back, you can bring merit and reward, and even squeeze Guan Shantong down. ”
An Xiaoyu laughed when she heard it: "Wishful thinking." ”
The administrator nodded: "It's just a dream." ”
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the current situation of the First Lei family is simply a puddle of muddy water, but in people like An Xiaoyu and Guan Shantong who are in the game, the whole situation is already very clear. Not to mention the Thunder Emperor who arranged the whole big chess game, that scheming thing.
From the time Guan Shantong began to accept this mission, the meaning of the Thunder Emperor was already quite obvious. Regardless of whether Guan Shantong can get the Lei Book back or not, the meaning behind this incident will never only show the strength of the Lei family, but even show weakness.
An Xiaoyu's performance in the Battle of the Hundred Provinces, coupled with the empire's attitude towards cultivators in this battle, the Thunder Emperor could already see that it was imminent for the empire to start the cultivation world, and the Three Thousand Academy had launched An Xiaoyu, the most avant-garde representative of the entire era.
So what should the Lei family say to the empire at this time?
So the person who was pushed out was Guan Shantong.
Guan Shantong's appearance and Guan Shantong's mistakes are nothing more than to let the empire understand that the First Lei family does not want to stay out of the matter, nor does it want to be high, and even does not want to gain much benefit in this great world, but will give up its own interests because of the affairs of the empire.
As for not dealing with Guan Shantong so far, the Thunder Emperor just wants to see how many flies and dogs are still in the family. And no matter what, Guan Shantong, the representative of the new generation of the Lei family, must always follow An Xiaoyu's pace and merge into the tide of the empire.
Now that An Xiaoyu doesn't appear, it's better for Guan Shantong not to appear.
An Xiaoyu was already quite proficient in this kind of thing unconsciously, and he didn't need the administrator to say too much to understand what the administrator meant.
"And when can I get out?"
The administrator reached out and patted her on the top of the head, "Now." ”
"Now?"
"Well, go ahead, go to the ancient city!"
An Xiaoyu stood up from the administrator's arms and moved her hands and feet. Her clothes had already been soaked with dried blood, and she was now covered in a white sheet.
"I'm just going to get there?"
The administrator shook his head and reached out to the void in front of An Xiaoyu.
The sheets on his body twisted for a while, turning into a white robe and wearing on An Xiaoyu's body, the clothes and pants inside were all available, with blue-white cloud patterns and ice marks, which was beautiful.
The administrator handed the black knife beside him to An Xiaoyu: "You don't need to take too much this time, one knife is enough." ”
An Xiaoyu is quite satisfied with the clothes on her body. The style is a little retro, but the classics will never fade, and the spirit is full of fairy spirit when worn on the body, and it can't be more handsome.
Nodding, An Xiaoyu directly took the frost wolf and the dust wolf, turned into two small cats, floating beside her, like two elves with her, holding a black knife in her hand, looking particularly dusty and sharp in the white-clothed Shengxue.
An Xiaoyu smiled at the administrator, turned around and walked out of the door.
The time had come, and the high priest frowned.
Could it be that they have really given up on Wei Qingxuan and An Xing? Looking at the last time, the high priest was a little irritable, and finally decided to break the kettle and put everything on the bright side.
He jumped down from the viewing platform of the ancient city, and when his feet came into contact with the clouds drifting in the valley, he actually stood firmly, and there was a stone platform hidden in the clouds below, which was his foolproof hidden passage.
Brought Wei Qingxuan and An Xing out of the east room and returned to the edge of the viewing platform, at this time, the people of the An family and the Wei family had already arrived near the viewing platform, looking at Wei Qingxuan and the two who were under control, their heads were extremely big.
The High Priest sneered: "It seems that you are not ready to make this deal with me, since this is the case......"
"Wait!" Wei Fangyuan walked out, he wasn't sure what the high priest's cultivation was, so he didn't make a rash move, he said, "It's not that we don't want to trade, it's just that An Xiaoyu doesn't know where she is at all now." ”
The high priest looked incredulous, reached out and grabbed Wei Qingxuan and An Xing, and retreated to the edge of the viewing platform.
The people of the Wei family and the An family instantly fell two steps forward, and the high priest shouted, "Don't come here!" If you move again, I'll throw them two little bunnies down!" ”
An Qianli had a cold face: "An Xiaoyu is indeed nowhere to be seen now, if you have any other requirements, we can all meet them!" ”
The high priest stubbornly looked like a poop in the northeast pit: "I'll give you another thirty minutes!" ”
Wei Fangyuan and An Qianli glanced at each other and frowned at the same time.
However, just when the two sides were at a stalemate, an ethereal voice seemed to come from above the nine heavens.
She said:
"So, this is the world?"
