"According to common sense, a mortal who can't cultivate wants to have mana, unless...... There was a person with extremely high mana who was willing to spend his own cultivation to reshape this mortal's meridian bones, so that he could be reborn, and then all his life's cultivation was transferred into that mortal's body. But in this case, the master will not be long in life, so those who will do this are basically people who are approaching the limit. Could it be ...... Did Qiao Sanniang happen to meet such a master?" Qing Ci held his chin with one hand and slowly analyzed.

"If that's the case, of course it's best, but if not...... I'm afraid it's a big problem. Ji Zi'an is obviously not so optimistic.

"What does Brother Ji mean by this?" Cang Wunian and Qing Ci asked with some puzzlement.

Ji Zi'an raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them lightly, "Isn't Wuxin the best example?"

As soon as these words came out, Cang Wunian and Qing Ci's faces suddenly changed. Of course they know what kind of existence Ji Wuxin is, her skin originally belonged to Xia Roumeng, the princess of Wansang Guoanguo, Xia Roumeng was originally a mortal, and she didn't know if she had an immortal root, but at least she hadn't heard of any immortal methods she had practiced.

But when Xia Roumeng's fragrance died, Ji Zi'an turned the witch vine into bone and blood and integrated it into Xia Roumeng's body, and Ji Wuxin was born, and he also had good mana.

If the real Qiao Sanniang is dead, and her body is reshaped by similar means and reborn, she can also have mana. But if that's the case...... Then I'm afraid it's a little more complicated.

After a long silence, Cang Wunian slowly spoke: "The so-called 'open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent', and keep her by your side first, if she has a bad intention, sooner or later she will show her feet, it is better than letting her calculate us in the dark." ”

......

After leaving Linjie Island, the seven-masted sand ship had sailed the sea for a month along the way they had come, and this month had been as calm as when they had come before, but now it was winter, and the weather had become cold.

At noon that day, everyone gathered in the cabin for lunch as usual, and while talking and laughing, they suddenly said, "Do you think that this ship is moving faster than when we came?"

When she said this, An Ruyue immediately nodded and said, "Well, this is really there, I thought it was my delusion before, it turns out that you also feel like this in Allure." ”

Ji Wuxin's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and secretly glanced at Ji Zi'an, but found that the other party's expression was as usual.

"Ji Gongzi, under your transformation, this ship should have played its role to the extreme, right? I wonder how much time I can save when I return this time compared to when I came?"

The corners of Ji Zi'an's mouth hooked, "The girl in Allure praised it falsely, Ji Mou did change the ship slightly, but if you have to talk about how much time you can save, I'm afraid ...... At most, it can be half a month in advance. ”

"Really?" said Allure. It took nearly half a year when they came, and if they returned to the east bank of the Luo River, they could only be half a month in advance, so she shouldn't be able to clearly feel the speed of the boat speeding up.

You must know that this is in the middle of an endless ocean, and there is nothing around to use as a reference, she can only judge by her own feeling on the ship.

"Isn't it because we are like arrows, so we feel that the speed of this ship is also much faster?" ......An Ruyue chuckled as she looked at the confused appearance of the painting.

At this moment, Qing Ci's heart suddenly froze, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said lightly: "I'm full, go back to the house first." ”

These words came inexplicably, and after he finished speaking, he immediately got up and left, until he disappeared in the eyes of everyone like a gust of wind, An Ruyue came to his senses and shouted in the direction he left: "Hey, why are you full after eating so much?"

However, she was answered by a "bang" of the door shut.

"This guy was so dignified before, how can you say that if you change your face, you will change your face?" An Ruyue said with a blank expression.

"Could it be...... Did I say something wrong?"

Cang Wunian and Ji Zi'an's eyes condensed slightly, and there was a slight guess in their hearts.

In fact, after Qing Ci returned to the room, his face suddenly became cold, he did not stay in the room, but disappeared into the room in a flash, and the next moment his figure appeared in the stern of the boat.

The reason why he suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said that he wanted to go back to the house was just to mislead everyone. Although he hadn't said it, he knew that they must have guessed in their hearts that there had been a problem with their ship when they came, and that there was a sudden storm at the last moment when everyone was about to abandon the ship and flee.

Fueled by the stormy waves, their ship sailed to the edge of the desert island before the bottom mechanism was completely destroyed.

Although Qing Ci pretended to hide in the house and was afraid of the thunder that time, he also knew that everyone must have doubts, but there was no evidence, and it was not easy to force him to ask anything.

This time back, the speed of the ship has increased significantly, a small part of it is because of Ji Zi'an, and more importantly, because of him. However, compared to what he needed to do at the moment, he would rather everyone think that he was cautious - thinking that he had previously painted Allure and An Ruyue to praise Ji Zi'an, he was unhappy, so he shook his face and went back to the house.

At the moment, he hurried to the stern of the boat, but he raised his hand and waved it behind him, setting up a hidden prohibition. Then the blue light of his fingertips flashed, and a bolt of mana shot into the sea.

With a "bang", the sea water rose in the air, forming a water curtain in front of him, just like the time when he was accidentally discovered by Cang Wunian when he was on Jiejie Island, he was talking to his henchmen.

This time, the person who appeared in the water curtain was still the Shadow Guard of the Thousand Machine Shadows wearing the blue-faced fanged mask. And the reason why Fang Cai Qingci's heart suddenly froze was because he sensed that the Shadow Guard Chief had used a secret method to contact him.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party encountered something important that he couldn't handle, it would be impossible to use secret methods to contact him, so he left in a hurry in front of everyone.

"Subordinates, see master!" "The shadow guard chief immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted after seeing Qing Ci.

"What happened?" asked Qing Ci with a frown.

"Back to the master, Luo Fan and his party crossed the 'Eight Hot Volcano' and arrived at the territory of Changyue Country before the 20th, and arrived at Puqiu City, the capital of Changyue Country 5 days ago. Originally, according to their speed, they would pass through Puqiu City and reach the foot of Shifan Mountain in three days. Unfortunately, as soon as they stepped into Puqiu City, they were surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers. Since those officers and soldiers were ordinary mortals, Luo Fan and the others did not do anything to them, nor did they resist......"

"Let's get to the point, what's going on now!" Qing Ci interrupted the Shadow Guard Chief's words impatiently.

"Back to the master, among them, only Huigu was arrested, and the rest were forcibly detained in the largest inn in Puqiu City, 'Tianxi Village', guarded by the Imperial City Guards. The Shadow Guard replied hurriedly.

"What?" Qing Ci was stunned, if they were all arrested, he wouldn't be surprised, but why did they choose Aunt Hui?

"Why was it Aunt Hui who was arrested?" asked Qing Ci suspiciously.

"Not only Huigu, according to the investigation of his subordinates, forty-eight women have been arrested before Huigu, and the longest of them has been detained for more than half a year. These women all have several common characteristics, that is, they are beautiful and all of them are virgins, and they all have a certain amount of mana to cultivate their bodies. The Shadow Guard said.

Hearing this, Qingci immediately frowned, "A virgin with a beautiful appearance, a mana cultivation, plus Aunt Hui, is already seventy-seven and forty-nine women, what do they want to do?"

"Today, the imperial capital announced the imperial list, saying that the 'Saintess of Worshipping the Heavens' has been recruited, and the 'Sacrificial Ceremony' will be held on the day of the winter solstice this year. Although the subordinates didn't know exactly how they planned to 'sacrifice to the sky', it seemed that with such a brutal method, the forty-nine women would definitely not have any good results. The Shadow Guard said in a solemn tone.

"The bullshit's 'Sacrifice to the Heavens', these imperial nobles in the human world will harm the people under the guise of benefiting the country and the people, but most of the people are ignorant, even if a few people can see through their tricks, they dare not speak out. If God had eaten enough and had nothing to do, he would have taken a few innocent lives to play, and this day would have been reversed a long time ago. A bunch of brutes!" Qing Ci cursed angrily.

"Master, it's less than a month before the winter solstice...... Look?" asked the Shadow Guard, hesitantly.

"Who gave such a bad idea to Lao Er, the emperor of Changyue Kingdom?" Qing Ci asked suddenly.

Hearing Qing Ci ask about this, the head of the shadow guard realized that he had missed such an important situation and did not report it, and hurriedly said: "It's Ziqingke, the great teacher of Changyue Country." It is said that this person is a foreign monk, and he was already a great teacher of this Changyue country a hundred years ago. Since he became a national teacher, the kings of Changyue have obeyed him, and Changyue has indeed been smooth in the past hundred years, so the entire country, from the palace nobles to the common people, has respected him. ”

God knows what kind of evil cultivator is half a bucket of water, who does not follow the right path, and wants to use these evil ways to become a god in one step. As everyone knows, the result of this is either falling into the devil's path or being punished by heaven and ending up with a soul annihilated. You keep an eye on the situation in Puqiu City first, and I will rush back as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, then inform Luo Fan that they will do it, and rescue the person first. Qing Ci said with a gloomy face.

"The subordinates receive the order. The Shadow Guard saluted respectfully, and the water curtain suddenly turned into a pool of seawater and fell back into the sea.

Qing Ci frowned, and returned to his house with a flash of blue light. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to tell Cang Wunian about this matter as it was.
