Chapter Eighty-Three: The Traveling Mission
Chi Shui guessed a little right, Lan Xuan at this time really "missed" her.
For a whole month, he was in a state of uneasiness. Who is the other party? Why did you imprison him here? And what will be done with him......
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he was frightened, the more he thought about it, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.
In the past month, he had tried all the methods he could think of, but for this Locking Spirit Array, it was like a fine speck of dust falling on the surface of the lake, and it could not cause the slightest ripple on the surface of the lake.
He couldn't help but regret why he had to go out alone that day, no, why he had to go out. The things he planned to buy at that time were not necessarily bought, not to mention, the Lan family was so big, there was nothing.
He just didn't want to trouble others, who would have thought that it would cause such a catastrophe.
I still remember that at that time, before he could figure out what was going on, he was successfully captured by the other party and couldn't break free. Immediately, he was taken to this single courtyard.
The man acted neatly, and paid no heed to his reproaches, but searched his soul, snatched his storage bag, and drained his blood, not even the clothes and hairbands and shoes he was wearing.
If he hadn't resisted desperately, maybe the only dirty clothes he was wearing now wouldn't have escaped the other party's poisonous hands.
Well, he really guessed right.
Chi Shui's idea at the time was that he would not attract people if he had no clothes to wear, and with the Lock Spirit Array, he could be regarded as a double insurance.
However, seeing Lan Xuan's face flushed and ashamed to death at that time, she touched her nose and gave up this plan. The main reason is that she only considered the feasibility just now, but she still has a certain psychological barrier to let her strip a big man's clothes.
Although Lan Xuan was just a little kid to her.
Therefore, when Chi Shui came to the small courtyard with the refining materials, Lan Xuan, with his long hair scattered and his thin clothes, was sitting cross-legged on the simple wooden frame bed in the bedroom, closing his eyes and recuperating.
When he saw Chi Shui's figure, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes widened, like an angry little beast, shouting at Chi Shui: "Who are you? What do you want to do if you pretend to be me? ”
Chi Shui smiled slightly, stood by the door, took out those refining array materials, and with a light push, he flew in front of Lan Xuan, "Family mission, Wugang Spirit Protector Array." ”
Lan Xuan was unmoved, didn't take it, didn't speak, just stared at her, as if he wanted to see her through.
Chishui shrugged, moved a small bench from the outside, sat down, and then said, "Give it to you, and you will refine." ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Lan Xuan's eyes, and he was a little suspicious, "You're not afraid?" ”
Chi Shui was stunned for a moment before he understood what the other party was referring to, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" This is the most urgently needed magic circle of the Lan family at present, and your fifth brother personally instructed that the task must be completed within the specified time. If you don't practice, then I won't be able to complete this task. ”
After that, she spread her hands and looked very helpless.
Lan Xuan looked at the other party's appearance against him, making movements and expressions that he would never make, his eyes tingled, and he wished that he could pounce directly and tear the other party apart.
But he knew he couldn't. In his opinion, the place where Chishui was located seemed to be separated from him by a galaxy.
Chi Shui waved his hand very casually, and said indifferently: "Even if you use these materials, you can't break this Lock Spirit Array, you understand." She winked at him cooperatively as she spoke.
Lan Xuan was silent.
How could he not know, although the other party had always said that this array was called the Locking Spirit Array, but he was a member of the Lan family, how could he not know that this was not the bullshit Locking Spirit Array that he knew at all, which Locking Spirit Array would be like this, with the powerful coercion of the Yuanying Monk, enveloping the entire room, making him have to do his best every step he wanted to move.
That's not all, when it took him ten full days to finally move to the front of the door, that is, the position in front of Chishui, he could no longer move. There, there was a solid invisible barrier that blocked his way, and he circled along the barrier wall, racking his brains to find the slightest weak point in the circle, and finally became discouraged and returned to the shelf bed.
That's what he's been doing this month.
He looked at Chishui strangely, shocked and terrified. The shock is that if this Lock Spirit Array is refined by the other party, then his refining array technique may have reached the pinnacle, and it is difficult for the world to match, even Uncle Blue Feather, I am afraid that he is not his opponent. What is terrifying is that such a master of refining formation, whose cultivation is also so high, can easily subdue him, but he pretends to be a person who can be regarded as dispensable in the Lan family, what is his plan?
Now that he is living secretly, has he become a sinner in the family for the ages?
Thinking of this, his gaze dimmed. Although he was not comfortable in the Lan family, the Lan family was his root after all, and if he indirectly harmed the entire Lan family because of him, he himself would not be able to forgive himself.
Perhaps, he should end himself so that the other party cannot impersonate him.
Yes, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right, and he still despised himself a little in his heart, all because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he still had a little hope of being able to escape, he should have committed suicide a long time ago, so that he could still warn the Lan family.
His face showed a touch of absoluteness, his back was straight, and there seemed to be a fire burning sharply in his eyes, as if he had great courage.
Chi Shui had already seen his changes, and it wasn't until the other party made up his mind that he said slowly: "Do you think that without you, I won't be able to find anyone else?" ”
With just one sentence, Lan Xuan's courage that he had finally mustered up was suddenly wiped out.
Yes, without him, there is a second Lan Xuan and a third Lan Xuan in the Lan family, there are so many disciples in the Lan family, the other party is so highly cultivated, it is not easy to find someone?
He shrugged his shoulders and hung his head, his thoughts tangled and in self-loathing.
"By the way, do you know what your family's travel mission does?"
Chi Shui seemed to mention it casually, but Lan Xuan raised his head as soon as he heard it, glaring at her viciously.
Chi Shui's eyebrows raised slightly, sure enough, there is an inside story in this travel mission?
"You took it?" Lan Yu's already ugly expression suddenly turned into iron blue.
"Your fifth brother asked me to pick it up." She pointed to the refining array materials beside Lan Yu, "After refining the Five Gang Spirit Protector Array. ”
Lan Xuan was silent for a long time, "Why should I help you refine?" ”
"Help me?" Chishui was a scoundrel, "It's obviously a task for you." ”
Lan Xuan's muscles were so angry that he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Chi Shui shrugged indifferently, "I just want to find something for you to do, even if you don't practice, I have other ways." After speaking, she glanced at Lan Xuan disdainfully, and muttered again, "It's not a big deal." ”
Lan Xuan choked, indeed, could the other party still be difficult for such a trivial matter?
Only then did he look at those refining materials, and after a few breaths, he finally put them aside.
Chishui smiled, "That's right." ”
She clapped her hands and stood up, "Then you practice well, and when you finish refining, I will come again." ”
After speaking, he left under Lan Xuan's gaze, completely ignoring the piece of refining formation material in Lan Xuan's hand that had been innocently shattered.
Twenty days later, Chi Shui stood outside the back door of the Lan family, looking at the sky, wanting to cry without tears.
Sure enough, the travel mission is a literal travel mission, and there is no fraud at all. In the past, the Lan family shops that she destroyed have almost become her mission stronghold.
She wanted to go to these shops to pick up some points tasks specially prepared for the Lan family's disciples, and she had to accumulate 10,000 points before she was allowed to return to the Lan family's ancestral mansion again.
What kind of is this? Is it easy for her to work so hard to get into the Lan family? It's only been a long time, nothing has been found, nothing has been done, and I have been invited out again in disguise.
By the time she gets 10,000 points, it is estimated that it will be thirty or forty years later.
She even considered whether to change to another person, or, as before, leave the task to Lan Xuan to do by herself, and in the end, she decided to go by herself.
If nothing else, she bet that there would be a special reward for this task, just thinking of Lan Yu's expression when he mentioned it and the indisputable surprise and unwillingness on Lan Xuan's face, she was doubly confident.
It's just that this task took a little longer, and I don't know if the special reward for Lan Xuan is the same for her?
She pulled out the map she had just gotten and glanced at the marker closest to the place, hesitantly wondering if she should go east or south or west and north.
It seems to be the same, because to get these 10,000 points, she basically has to run all over the entire Blue Spirit Island, which is really a sad thing.
"Little brother?" The voice is loud and full of energy.
Chi Shui turned his head, just in time to see a rugged male big man raising his big palm like a thin fan, and patting it on the shoulder of Chi Shui, who looked extremely thin in comparison, no, it was Lan Xuan's shoulder.
She grinned, resisted the urge to move away, and reluctantly asked, "Fourth brother?" ”
Lan Hao glanced at the map, "Travel mission?" ”
Chishui nodded. Unexpectedly, Lan Hao slapped it again, "good boy"
Chi Shui's whole body was slapped twice in a row before he stood firm, and hurriedly took half a step back to the side before asking, "Where is the fourth brother going?" ”
"I'm going to find the second uncle." Lan Hao glanced at Chishui appreciatively and asked, "Where does the little brother go first?" ”
Chishui shook the map, "I haven't decided yet." ”
Lan Hao thought about it, glanced at Chishui again, and suggested, "Why don't you go with the fourth brother?" ”
"Isn't that right?" Chishui hesitated.
"Little brother, when did your mother-in-law and mother * Hao glance at Chishui impatiently, "The second uncle is in Nanxi County, and there is also a stronghold there, you can also do the task, let's go."
After that, regardless of Chi Shui's answer, he grabbed her arm and lifted it, and a flying magic weapon shaped like a lotus leaf held the two of them and flew away.
Chishui saw that the rice had been cooked, so he had to give up, sat down cross-legged, and found that this lotus leaf did not know how to refine, it turned into a dark green, the veins of the stem were clearly visible, it was almost chaotic, and it flew fast and steady, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Lan Hao also sat down, scratched his head, and asked as if he was a little puzzled: "Little brother, why does the fourth brother think that you are a little different?" ”
Chi Shui's heart froze, and he said angrily with a thin face: "The fourth brother is really good at remembering. ”
Lan Hao's eyes blinked blankly, and then his face suddenly shrunk, shrunk his shoulders, and said weakly: "Isn't the fourth brother busy." ”
"Hmph" Chishui turned his face sideways and didn't answer. Brothers, they are all in the ancestral house, and they have no hatred or resentment, and they haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, although Lan Xuan is also at fault, but it's too much to say, right?
Lan Hao was bored, and he didn't dare to talk to her anymore.
Nanxi County, although it is not the largest county in Lanling Island, is well-known in terms of prosperity.
Because Lan Hao's lotus leaf magic weapon was extremely fast, but after most of the day's effort, they were already standing on the streets of Nanxi County.
"Second Uncle Ancestor should also be in the stronghold at this moment, let's go" I don't know if Lan Hao is such an urgent person, or if there is something urgent, pulling Chishui, who is still looking around, shuttles through the crowd very flexibly.
Soon, I came to a half-new pavilion.
Chi Shui only had time to sigh in his heart, "The shop is in the light, the stronghold is in the dark, the ancestors of the Lan family are really wise." "I was pulled in.
The layout of the building was a little weird, and after Chi Shui followed Lan Hao left and right, he finally saw the second uncle in his mouth.
I saw him with brown hair and a childish face, sitting upright indoors, as steady as Mount Tai, looking at Lan Hao with a hint of warmth in his eyes. Chi Shui's face was a little strange, this person is not simple.
Only one face, she didn't see the specific appearance of the other party clearly, she only felt that it was a pine, a pine that had experienced wind and rain, storms, and still stood proudly.
The Lan family still has such a character? She didn't know anything.
She followed Lan Hao and saluted obediently.
The second uncle looked at her and Lan Hao's eyebrows that were somewhat similar, and guessed based on Lan Hao's expression of squeezing his eyebrows: "You are Lan Ming's eighth son, Lan Xuan?" ”
Chishui should be.
Lan Hao hurriedly interjected: "Second Uncle Ancestor, the younger brother is here to take over the travel mission. ”
"Oh?" The second uncle's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Chishui again, "Bring the task jade card." ”
Hearing this, Chi Shui took out the task jade card and handed it respectfully with both hands.
The second uncle held the task jade card, closed his eyes for a breath, opened them again, and said, "Where are you going to start?" ”
Chi Shui replied: "The younger generation has not thought it through, I heard the fourth brother say that the second uncle is here, so I came to meet and ask the uncle to teach." ”
Uncle Zu's expression remained unchanged, and he no longer spoke, as if he was contemplating.
Chi Shui waited for a while, looked at Lan Hao, and received Lan Hao's reassuring eyes, his expression moved, settled down, and waited quietly.
After about half a cup of tea, the second uncle suddenly said: "Since you are going to do a travel mission, I happen to have one here, which is to go to Nanshi County, a neighboring county, to clear out bandits, and one monk is worth ten points in the same period, are you willing to go?" ”
Chi Shui was a little stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't guess what the second uncle meant for a while.
At this time, she already knew that the focus of the travel task was to examine a disciple's cultivation, character, courage and other comprehensive qualities.
In each stronghold, there are a variety of strange tasks. The intensity of their missions varies, and in some cases, they can even be life-threatening. Of course, on the other hand, there are more points obtained after completing the task, which is high risk and high reward, and it is common everywhere.
And the bandits, needless to say, should be divided into high-risk tasks, could it be that the second uncle wanted her to die?
It doesn't make sense
Chi Shui's thoughts were racing, and he couldn't figure it out, so he had to reply according to Lan Xuan's character: "The junior is willing to go." ”
Anyway, the danger for Lan Xuan is drizzling for her.
Originally, she was still hesitating, should she pick a difficult task and complete the task as soon as possible? Or pick something ordinary, don't attract attention, just complete the task.
Unexpectedly, someone handed me a pillow when I wanted to fall asleep.
As soon as she agreed, Lan Hao quit, "Second Uncle Ancestor, if it doesn't work, the younger brother has just broken through to the Jindan period, and it is already an exception to receive the travel mission, how can he do such a dangerous thing?" ”
The second uncle looked at Chi Shui's expression calmly, as if he was satisfied, and then looked at Lan Hao, his face was anxious, and he was a little dissatisfied, "Your second uncle has a reason, what do you know?" ”
"However, it's too chaotic over there in Nanshi County." Lan Hao retorted in a low voice.
"Don't worry." Second Uncle Ancestor sighed and explained, "The people of the Cuiyan Sect have withdrawn from Blue Spirit Island, and now what is left there is nothing to fear. ”
Lan Hao's eyes lit up, it was Chishui, and he also looked at the second uncle and ancestor fixedly.
"I have received reliable information that the Dark Lord of the Cuiyan Sect and his disciples have returned to the sect, and the Lan family can be regarded as having escaped." After the second uncle finished speaking, he sighed again.
Chi Shui didn't know how to speak, but Lan Hao's face was dissatisfied, "Second Uncle Ancestor, why do you say that the eldest uncle and the fifth brother have to provoke that ruthless girl?" That girl is not as old as me."
Chishui's heart moved, and his ears almost stood up.
"Is this ruthless?" The second uncle shook his head, "Others haven't moved the real thing yet."
"How does the second uncle know?" Lan Hao almost jumped up, "Moreover, how can you help outsiders?" ”
The second uncle ancestor was extremely angry and reprimanded: "Your second uncle and ancestor are talking about things, what's wrong?" Your uncle will provoke others, and it must be that girl who has the treasure they covet, so good that she doesn't care about the life or death of you people. ”
Chi Shui's heart was mixed for a while, and he heard the second uncle and ancestor continue: "As one of the four major forces, you think the Cuiyan Sect is calling for fun. ”
"Since you know that the other party is not easy to mess with, why didn't the second uncle stand up to stop it at that time?" Lan Hao retorted, and Chi Shui also wanted to know.
"Does it work for me to stand up?" Speaking of this, Second Uncle Zu was a little short of breath, "By the time I got the news, they had already taken action. ”
This time, Chishui was puzzled, she hated Lan Xuan's ears and didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and the dark pavilion didn't pay attention to this second uncle ancestor, she speculated that this second uncle ancestor was afraid that he would be excluded from the Lan family's core decision-making group.
Lan Hao probably knew the inside story and didn't ask again.
"I guess they didn't expect that the Wen Swallow girl baby mentioned in the intelligence was a thorn in the hand, and Cuiyan Sect not only did not give up on her, but also let her use only a dozen people to stir up Lanling Island restlessly. Let them prepare a series of plans stillborn. Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, that's what they're talking about. I'm afraid that their intestines are still green. Chi Shui could hear that although the two uncles were talking coldly, there was a hint of loss in their tone.
"So what do we do?" Lan Hao asked, although he is a descendant, his cultivation is not high, and his marriage is a little hanging, where does he usually hear the inside information about the core?
I heard it, but I didn't know what to do.
"What else can I do? Clean up the mess" After the second uncle finished dealing with Lan Hao, he glanced at Chishui deeply again, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the second uncle ancestor gave you this task, and it won't let you have anything to do." ”
Chishui smiled gratefully and nodded.
