68. Into the Tiger's Den (Second Shift - Ask for Subscription)
After all, Xia Ji was the one who made the image panel for himself, and at this time, his heart moved with his thoughts, and soon a line of flashing red letters appeared in his mind.
[Kuroshio Quest 1]: In-depth investigation of the abnormal events of the sect.
Difficulty: 2.5 stars
Overview of the incident: In just three months after the destruction of the Court of the Gods, the destruction of Jianqi, and the disappearance of Qi Qi, the entire sect of Yan Zhou began to break out in an inexplicable large-scale chaos, which seemed to be composed of mostly coincidences, but it was strange inside, and it was suspected that it was related to the Black Tide and Qi Qi. Investigate thoroughly within three years.
Reward: Take Miaomiao to travel for three months.
Quest Punishment: Erasure.
Of course, this "obliteration" is just Xia Ji entertaining himself.
But in three years, he felt that it must be enough, not to mention that he could find out clearly, and he was afraid that the problem could be directly found to the root and then solved.
As for the "difficulty", he just set an estimate for himself, after all, it is only an "in-depth investigation", and in this investigation process, there is almost no situation where the enemy can destroy himself and the white candle, but there are also unknown risks, and if you encounter Qiqi or Kuroshio, there is also a great risk, so it is rated as 2.5 stars.
He set himself a difficulty system:
One star is not a danger to yourself.
Two stars are potentially dangerous.
Samsung is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may be seriously injured.
Four stars for possibly death.
Five stars for mortality.
...
"The difficulty of this task lies in the collection of information, as well as the non-disclosure of identity, and the Falling Moon Sect may have deliberately hidden some secrets because the other party felt our malice that time.
Only when the other party completely relaxes their vigilance can they get to the bottom of it and see the truest side.
Since the Kuroshio has changed dramatically, it is necessary to figure out their current arrangement, with white candles, and also clearly compare with the situation in ancient times, so as to know where the changes are. ”
After Xia Ji analyzed, he found Xiao Su and began to patch the identity vulnerability.
After all, for the mortal kingdom, it is difficult to inquire about the identity, but for the sect, it is not a very troublesome thing to send a disciple to another place to investigate.
After proper arrangement,
Xia Ji and White Candle set off.
The first step is...
The two pretended to be a Taoist couple, first haunted the western part of Yanzhou, and would do some things like visiting the mountain gate, and at the same time passed on the identities of the two.
It didn't take long for some sects in the west to know that the strength of this pair of Daoists was extremely not weak, they were all at the peak of the Thirteen Realms, and they were only one chance away from being punished, and they could become the best in the Fourteen Realms.
And the reason why these two people had no information before was because the two of them usually practiced in seclusion in the north, and they were used to idle clouds and wild cranes, but they had to go south because of some changes.
And it was precisely because of this change that the two of them learned from the pain, gave up their freedom, and seemed to start thinking about joining the sect.
After all, the world has changed greatly now, the world is restless, and there is no sense of security outside the casual cultivation, and only by joining the sect can you have a little more ability to protect yourself.
After "haunting this area", the identities of the two do not appear abrupt.
Then comes the second step.
In a battle between the Golden Lotus Sect and the Dragon Slaying Temple, this pair of Taoist couples "inadvertently" saved Mu Sangzi, the great elder of the Dragon Slaying Temple, and then vaguely put forward the idea of wanting to join the sect.
The concept of slaying the dragon has always been a famous and decent family, and it is also very strict in accepting people, especially focusing on character.
It's just that Mu Sangzi didn't hesitate much when he saw the two of them showing pure white good karma.
Generally, those who have good karma will not be inferior in character.
In such troubled times, casual cultivators certainly want to join the sect.
However, the sect also wanted to recruit strong loose cultivators to improve the strength of the sect.
It's mutual.
So, Mu Sangzi took Xia Ji and Bai Zhu back to the Dragon Slaying Temple, and explained the situation to the master.
The viewer first tests his qualifications and strength.
If these two can't work, the dragon slaying concept will not accept people.
After all, although the Dragon Slaying Concept is not the top sect in this one-third of an acre of land in this Qi Country, it is also a major sect that can be ranked in the top ten, although the people in the sect are not like other sects that often have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, but they are all elites who are very good at fighting.
The test results are clear at a glance.
Both of them are middle-to-upper qualifications, and they are still some distance from geniuses.
The strength is the best in the thirteen realms.
The viewer was satisfied.
After that, the viewer asked about the origin of the two.
In this matter, both of them are foxes among foxes who lie and don't make drafts, and they talk a lot.
It's probably that the two of them are practicing in the Moon Tiger Peak of Mianzhu Mountain in the north on weekdays, and this time there was a change, so they went south, came here by chance, and usually visited the mountain gate, and I heard that the dragon slaying view is a big sect in this way, so I moved my mind, but I have been suffering from no door.
But he didn't want to save the Great Elder Mu Sangzi by chance, so he came here.
The viewer arranged for Xia Ji and Bai Zhu to stay, and on the one hand, he asked people to pay attention to whether the two were really like Taoist couples, and on the other hand, he sent people to Mianzhu Mountain in the north to check the situation.
But Xia Ji had already arranged it in the north, and the disciples of the Dragon Slaying Temple who went to the north to inquire about the situation would get a message that "deviated slightly from their description, but everything was within the scope of a pair of monks' reasonable prudence", and then checked it out, and then the disciples of the Dragon Slaying Temple would know that these two people had offended a sect called the Retreat Palace that was not weak in the north, so they would be forced to leave the original place of seclusion and give up a free life.
If he goes to the Retreat Palace to inquire again, he will also get a complete answer.
Because, the Separating Palace is the sect that the Wang family holds in their hands.
But this result is reasonable, and it is impossible for the Dragon Slaying Sect not to accept these two people because they are afraid of the revenge of the Escape World Sect.
As for the "Taoist life" between the two, Xia Ji and Bai Zhu acted very realistically.
On weekdays, they respect each other like guests, but they also share the same bed at night, and they know each other very well in every word and deed on weekdays, and they have lived together for many years.
After receiving confirmation from many parties, the viewer chose an auspicious day of the zodiac and included the two of them in the door.
Of course, the generations of these two people will naturally not be determined in order, but will be directly accepted by the Guan Lord, and they will be designated as the fourth generation of disciples of the Dragon Slaying Temple.
You must know that today's dragon slaying concept can be ranked to the seventh and eighth generations in terms of generation, and as soon as the two of them get started, for the youngest disciples, they are already the existence of the master and uncle.
Usually, the two of them wear masks on their faces, which are the appearance of blue birds and white foxes, and the viewer also deliberately took off the masks.
But Xia Ji and White Candle did not refuse.
White Candle has a few incarnations Xia Ji doesn't know, anyway, after he took off the white fox mask, he completely changed from a "celebrity" to a "charming" goblin, like the Oiran who haunts the Qinglou in Goolan on weekdays.
Xia Ji silently noted down this appearance.
And for him, it's not too simple to change his face, he changed his name to "seventy-two" at seventy-two, in fact, his control over his body has reached the extreme, as long as he takes a breath, he can become any appearance.
Therefore, Bai Zhu and the viewer saw a face that was also graceful and graceful, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and unexpectedly, this face, this merry temperament matched Bai Candle's charming appearance, and no one believed it if it was not a Taoist.
Anyway, the viewer believed it, and he also understood why the two of them wore masks.
Too prominent.
Too soo.
Although most of the monks are handsome men and beautiful women, it is true that there are very few people who can be so charming and romantic like this.
The two of them were tired of the world's gaze outside, so they wore these two masks.
It's fateful, it should be.
So, the two put back their masks and looked at each other deeply, it seems that everyone is an old nesting doll, and they usually do this kind of thing, and the professionalism can be known at a glance.
After joining the sect, the two were taught the Xuangong of the Dragon Slaying Concept - [Dragon Slaying Sword Sutra], which can be regarded as laying the foundation, and after the two have made certain contributions to the sect, they can be taught further supernatural powers.
The way of supernatural powers is the foundation of a sect.
Good karma and bad karma are entirely up to the individual.
Xia Ji and Bai Zhu lived together, and it was half a year after that.
Both of them know what it means to "act on the spot", naturally it is impossible to have any feelings because of only half a year, they should eat together on weekdays, they should cultivate together, and they should sleep together.
In an instant, winter has arrived.
It was freezing and there was light snow outside the window.
And on the platform under the Dragon Slaying View Mountain in the distance, there was a faint sound of disciples practicing swords.
The cold wind howled, and seeped in through the window, making a flickering and heavy "hissing" sound, which made people feel a little hairy in their hearts, as if it was the time to close the mountain in that kind of ghost movie.
Xia Ji stood in front of the window, and the door behind him suddenly opened.
The cold wind poured in for a moment, and was stopped by the rapidly closing door.
Bai Zhu walked up to him, and the two of them stood in front of the window together, looking at the pure white scenery of the mountains outside the window.
Bai Zhu opened his mouth and said faintly: "In this short period of half a year, the Dragon Slaying Sect has actually had disputes with the Golden Lotus Sect, the Sword Rainbow Sect, and the Qingfeng Pavilion, and there have even been casualties among high-level figures.
The cause is untraceable, and there is nothing special about it except that it occurs very frequently.
It can be said that if these casualties had occurred within a hundred years, then there would have been almost no suspicion, but they happened within half a year.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
In addition, the Great Elder Mu Sangzi died after all, and yesterday he died at the hands of one of the seven pavilion masters of the Qingfeng Pavilion. ”
White Candle briefly recounts this fact.
Especially things like "Mu Sangzi is still dead" has a smell of "death is coming", that is, you may be able to escape death once by luck, but you are destined to encounter death again soon.
Xia Ji asked, "How did you die?"
Bai Zhu said: "The subordinate forces of Qingfeng Pavilion had a skirmish with the Dragon Slaying Temple, but because of the choices of all parties, the conflict became more and more intense, and at this time, in order to avoid a complete escalation of the conflict, the two sides carried out the usual means here-the sect martial arts duel, and the witness is the royal family of the Qiguo Kingdom.
And yesterday, Mu Sangzi went to fight as a person sent by the Dragon Slaying Temple, but was killed in battle. That's the way it is. ”
"The Imperial Family..."
Xia Ji was a little impressed.
Previously, among the nine supreme gods of the court of gods, there was a supreme god who "attacked with bloody qi", and that supreme god was the first to be killed by himself, and he was the ancestor of the royal family of Qiguo.
In terms of geographical location, the territory of the royal family of the Qi Kingdom is perfectly avoided by the range of the Twelve Golden Human Array, and the scorpion that has been curled up is lying down in the northeast direction, while its back is close to the sea area to the west.
Bai Zhu said: "On the surface, there is no problem with the royal family of Qiguo, but the imperial power in this land is heavier, and it is normal for the two sects to fight against each other, and it is normal to find the royal family as a witness." ”
Xia Ji said: "During this time, I have been reading books in the Guanzhong Library Pavilion, and even I have helped them improve some small defects in the exercises reasonably and reasonably, which can be regarded as a great achievement, so as to obtain more reading permissions.
Then, when I choose exercises, I will also mix in a few books such as sect chronicles, which are all public, but I can also infer the tip of the iceberg from various major events, and if there is really a problem, I can use this as a breakthrough.
In addition, I sat in the library every day, and I also observed all the disciples who entered the library to read books. ”
White Candle asked, "What about the result?"
Xia Ji said: "Those disciples are very normal, I can almost be sure that they don't have the slightest problem. ”
White Candle fell silent.
Xia Ji said: "What a sect needs to do is actually to practice and control resources, among which are mainly fire embers, small mountains and rivers ruins, and karmic dream areas... Because these are already zoned and controllable.
What needs to be explored is the Kuroshio area, and only the Kuroshio area will be rich in the urn book, because for those who need to break through the Fourteen Realms, the number of pages of the urn book is far from enough.
Since those disciples are normal, then the problem is likely to lie in the upper echelons of the sect, that is, the thirteenth or fourteenth realms...
Since this problem is related to the Kuroshio, it is likely to be exposed when entering the Kuroshio area to explore. ”
Bai Zhu added, "However, only the best elite of the sect are eligible to be punished, and that is the resources that need to be spent on the tip of the sword. ”
Xia Ji glanced at her, and suddenly asked without a clue, "Are you here or am I coming." ”
White Candle said: "Come on, I'm not good at rushing ahead." ”
Xia Ji nodded, and suddenly said, "It's done, you invite me to a meal." ”
White Candle: ???
"What kind of rice?"
"The next time you pass by a human restaurant, treat me to a meal. ”
White Candle: ???
This... What does that mean?
Could it be that there is some Zen machine hidden?
White Candle thought for a while and asked, "What kind of rice?"
Xia Ji said: "The two of us eat, and it can be controlled within the standard of three taels of silver." ”
"Three taels of silver......
Bai Zhu smiled, she never brought silver, let alone three taels, but she also answered "OK", it should be the personal style of this strange tenth person.
Xia Ji nodded.
And then...
The heart moves with the mind.
New scarlet letters were beating in his mind.
