Chapter 30: Destroying the Hidden Pile and Punishing the Heart
Two days later, Zhang Xiaoshan still had a sad face, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.
He's not a calculating man. On the contrary, he grew up in a wealthy family, and he never took ordinary gold and silver artifacts to heart. But his loss this time is really a bit big, regardless of the gains and losses of those items that belong to Qingluan, but his own high-grade spiritual weapon "Wanli Boots" and the ancient heaven and earth spirit treasure "Ice Jade Wheel" are all priceless, not counting the remnants of the Tongtian Method and tens of thousands of spirit stones that he put in the Ice Jade Wheel.
He can only suffer a dumb loss in this matter, and he has not even the slightest reason to justify or refute. Qingluan said that the valuables of the husband and wife should be placed with the woman. If you still disagree, all your lies will be self-defeating.
Finally, the sunset was still in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't even have a decent magic weapon. The rest of the spirit grass and treasures were swallowed by Qingluan into his stomach, Zhang Xiaoshan really had no choice but to enlighten himself, there are still some benefits to putting the treasures in Qingluan, first, he doesn't have to worry about losing them wherever he goes; second, Qingluan's magic power is profound, so he doesn't have to worry about others coming to grab them; third, he doesn't have the ability to snatch these things back. You still have to improve your mana quickly!
Every time Zhang Xiaoshan was depressed, Qingluan would smile, "My good husband, you don't have to worry about those treasures, they have all been put in a very safe place by me, if you want to use anything, just tell me, as long as I think it is reasonable, I will give it to you in time." Zhang Xiaoshan blurted out, "I want the Ice Jade Wheel!" Qingluan smiled slightly: "My husband, although I don't remember many things, but I feel that with your current meager mana realm, you shouldn't be able to use the Heavenly Earth Spirit Treasure, so the reason is not valid!" Zhang Xiaoshan gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was no way to do it.
He thought to himself: It's really self-inflicted, and he must not coax others in the future.
Qingluan sat happily in the room every day, observing the lives of the secular people in the outside world with her divine sense, and she didn't know if it was because her realm was too high, or because of other reasons, anyway, she did it every day, but she was never discovered by the high-ranking monks of the Yang family.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan found a strange thing, every time Qingluan glanced at the outside world, he would frown slightly, he only thought that she was comprehending the various states of secular life.
It wasn't until something happened that he learned a shocking secret.
It was the night before when something happened, Qingluan looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was sitting cross-legged, and suddenly squirted out a ball of cyan transparent liquid from his mouth, and said, "These are the essences of the Qi of Heaven and Earth that I have collected, and if you drink it, it will be of great help to your cultivation." Zhang Xiaoshan covered his mouth and shook his head, "Don't drink it, it's too disgusting, besides, those are all things of the demon clan, I'm a human! Aren't you afraid that I will have problems eating!" Qingluan thought for a while and replied: "Don't be afraid, it's better for you to become a demon clan!"
Zhang Xiaoshan turned around and was about to run, when he heard Qingluan drink gently: "Fixed!" Zhang Xiaoshan felt a tightness around him, and he was fixed in place. Qingluan walked over and moved his mouth away, and with a slight spit, a large amount of viscous liquid flowed down Zhang Xiaoshan's throat and into his stomach.
Qingluan gently patted Zhang Xiaoshan's face, "Good husband, you can't move tonight! With that, he stretched out his arms, sat cross-legged on the bed, and soon entered meditation.
This night, Zhang Xiaoshan was tossed miserably, those strange liquids turned into a vigorous, cold air current, flowing slowly in his meridians, painful and itchy, as if there were countless ants biting on his body, but he himself couldn't move. That feeling really made him worse than dead.
On the second day, Qingluan untied Zhang Xiaoshan's imprisonment, and as soon as Zhang Xiaoshan's servant unsealed it, he immediately scratched his body with his hands.
Qingluan suddenly smiled and said, "You are so ugly that you are green!"
When Zhang Xiaoshan heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly ran to the bronze mirror, and found that a green person appeared in the mirror, and his face was exactly himself, but how did his body become like this, it must have been caused by the liquid he took last night.
This demon clan's things really can't be used casually, and they have become like this, but how can they go out to meet people!
Qingluan was overjoyed, and while Zhang Xiaoshan was unprepared, he suddenly stretched out a hand, pulled out a gray smoke from Zhang Xiaoshan's forehead, and said, "Okay, the demonic qi in your body has been taken out by me, and you will be able to recover in less than an hour!"
"Those liquids are demonic energy?" Zhang Xiaoshan felt his scalp tingle for a while, this Qingluan was crazy enough to play.
Qingluan pointed out the window and said, "I found a lot of half-human, half-demon people in the city, so I was curious for a while, and I also wanted to try it on you, it's too ugly, it's boring!"
Zhang Xiaoshan's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "You said that you found a lot of half-humans and half-demons in the city, this... How is this possible!"
Qingluan returned to Zhang Xiaoshan's side, stretched out his hand, took out the black scales from the inner armor of Xiaoshan, sniffed it again, and said, "Those guys have the same smell as this all over their bodies, but they are much lighter than this demonic aura." ”
Zhang Xiaoshan's heart tightened, "What Qingluan said is the taste of the demon clan or the taste of Xuanming." He hurriedly asked, "Where are those people?"
Qingluan recognized it again: "There are many, many, there are also near here, and there are also far away." Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly asked, "Qing'er, are you sure?" Qingluan confirmed: "Of course, the taste is so strong, it won't be bad." ”
Zhang Xiaoshan picked up his coat and said, "You are obediently waiting for me in the house, I want to go out." Qingluan grabbed Zhang Xiaoshan: "No, you become like this, you can't go anywhere." I can't let my husband be laughed at!"
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly said: "No, the matter is urgent, I have to go!" Qingluan thought for a while and said, "Okay then! I'll accompany you." Zhang Xiaoshan didn't speak, and ran quickly towards Yang Xihongjun's room.
Before I arrived at the room, I saw Yang Xihongjun standing in front of her door in high spirits, because she had just reached the foundation building period a few days ago, and felt a special sense of accomplishment, so she was at the door when she was fine, hoping that everyone would pay attention to her and know her recent changes...... Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly broke in, and Yang Xihongjun saw Zhang Xiaoshan's face change, and asked in surprise: "Xiaoshan, what's wrong with your face, could it be that you are poisoned?"
Zhang Xiaoshan pushed Qingluan to the front, "These are trivial matters, not worth mentioning! Auntie, I have something important to tell you, Qing'er! Come! You and your aunt tell you what you have discovered." ”
Qingluan replied, "It's nothing!"
Zhang Xiaoshan said frantically: "How is it possible, didn't you say just now that you found a lot of half-humans and half-demons?"
"Oh, that's!" Qingluan said heartlessly, "What's the matter? It's just some lowly guys, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly said to Yang Xihongjun: "Auntie, Qing'er has found a lot of strange aura! I think there are a large number of demon clans inside and outside Wuwei Mansion now. ”
Yang Xihongjun's face was incredulous, "How is it possible, the family has a special detection method for the demon clan, it is impossible that there will be no prompts." ”
Zhang Xiaoshan took Yang Xihongjun's hand, "Auntie, believe me and Qing'er! I'm not messing around! I have to see my grandfather right now!"
Yang Xihongjun was silent for a while, he saw that Zhang Xiaoshan didn't seem to be messing around, she said: "Father is not in the city, I will let your uncle go to him!" Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, "It's too late, I'll go with my uncle." ”
In the end, Yang Xihongjun also followed out of the castle, and several people rode the Yang family's unique auspicious horse, and quickly rushed to the Yang family's camp on the city wall.
When Zhang Xiaoshan saw Yang Sifang, he only said one sentence: "Grandpa! There are demons in the city!"
Yang Sifang looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, pulled him aside and whispered, "Xiaoshan, how do you know?"
Xiaoshan pushed Qingluan to Yang Si and introduced: "This female companion of mine has a special perception method for the demon clan, please believe me, I can't mess around with such a big thing." ”
Yang Sifang frowned, and said suspiciously: "This... Judging by its aura, it should also be a Spirit Clan monk, right?"
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly said: "Grandpa, it's true that she is a spirit clan, but she is also my companion!" Zhang Xiaoshan understood that Yang Sifang was still very concerned that he had a companion of the demon clan, after all, the demons were incompatible, and the four major sect lords were the leaders of the human race cultivators, so they should distinguish the positions of the two sides.
Yang Sifang sighed, and said helplessly: "Since you are your person, you must follow closely, and you must not let her walk alone, otherwise I will not be able to interfere if the law enforcement team in the clan finds out!"
He continued: "Xiaoshan, I didn't know that there were demon clan spies hiding in the city now, and they were destroying everywhere in the city, but we couldn't find it...... Xiaoshan, if I give you this task, can you assist my grandfather?" Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan nodding again and again, he said again: "I will give you a hundred people, all of them are good hands, I have only one request, once I find out, I can't let one go." ”
"Grandpa, don't worry. Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Qingluan: "Qing'er, look for it from the city wall first, it is related to the safety of the Yang family, don't make a mistake......" Qingluan raised his head and sniffed lightly, suddenly moved his body like lightning, and soon grabbed the neck of a man standing behind Yang Sifang, and flames erupted from his mouth. The man struggled slightly, and soon turned into a prototype in the flames, which turned out to be a demon with a snake head.
Yang Sifang shouted: "The magic weapon that everyone put in their hands will immediately squat on the spot for me." Soon, four men jumped off the tower in disobedience and tried to escape. It was soon turned off by Yang Sifang's own hands. Yang Sifang didn't expect that even the city walls were covered with demon clan spies, so he realized the seriousness, and he immediately sent another hundred more people to Zhang Xiaoshan.
In the next day, under the leadership of Qingluan, Zhang Xiaoshan led the guards to accurately attack and find and eliminate the more than 400 demon clan spies hidden in Wuwei Mansion one by one. Most of these demon clans are pretending to be warriors in the city, fortunately Zhang Xiaoshan found it early, otherwise once there is a large-scale siege, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This incident also made the Yang family increase the scrutiny of the city.
The purpose of these demon cultivators is unknown, and most of them are low-level cultivators in the Qi refining period, and only a few are in the foundation building period, and their strength is not outstanding.
Judging from their cultivation, it is impossible for them to turn into human form at all, they should have taken some illusion pills.
These demon clan spies all found a token carved from jade, which could actually cover the strong demonic aura on the wearer's body, making it impossible for the Yang family's exploration methods to be used. If it weren't for Qingluan's stumbling upon these people when he was exploring the city with his divine sense, they would have been hiding in the city like dark thunder, and they would have caused immeasurable damage at any time.
The Yang family counted this credit on Zhang Xiaoshan's body again, Yang Sifang once again represented the Yang family, and presented Zhang Xiaohu with a total of 100 fire attribute psychic talismans in two stickers, this time Zhang Xiaoshan can learn to be smart, he turned his head and put these psychic talismans in Yang Xi Hongjun, his little aunt will not be greedy for his own treasures. It's safest to put it in her place.
Qingluan also contributed a lot, and the Yang family gave all the hundreds of demon pills on the demon cultivator's body to Qingluan. These demon pills are indispensable whether they are alchemy or talismans, and the value of a hundred demon pills is also quite expensive.
The Yang family eliminated a great threat.
The Sima family outside the city also quickly knew that the demon clan monks who had been planted in the city had been exterminated.
In just one week, the two sides fought bloody battles around several sections of the city wall. The Yang family relied on the high walls of the city and various prohibitions, and the attacking Sima family returned with a feather. Even the monks of the Jindan period lost 3 people, and the monks of the foundation building period were as high as 100. This kind of loss is not worth mentioning for the Sima family, but the blow to morale is very serious. After all, this was a large-scale battle between the two sides, not a contest between two monks.
If it continues according to the current situation, the first person who can't support it must be the Sima family outside the city.
Sima's military camp......
A huge apricot-colored tent sits on a jade-paved circle. All around were all kinds of gorgeous and tall tents, and all the high-ranking monks of the Sima family lived in them. There are as many as seven old monsters in the Yuan Infant Stage alone, and there are more than 100 monks in the Jindan Period, these are the most advantageous forces to break through the Yang family, but the Yang family is also quite profound, and there are ninety-eight Keqing elders hired in the family, most of these people have reached the Jindan stage, and a few of them are already cultivators in the late Yuan Infant period, and they can survive at any time.
At this time, the seven monks of the Yuan Infant Stage were all sitting in the huge tent in the center, and they looked respectfully at the young man sitting on the dragon chair in the center, this was the northwest king of the Sima family, "Sima Leiyun" , He is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor today, although his own mana is not strong, but the two silver-bearded old men in golden robes standing behind him, but Lord Xuwei and Lord Haiwei in the Twelve Guards of the Golden Dragon, these two adults are already at the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage, if they hadn't been compressing their cultivation, I am afraid that they would have already crossed the catastrophe and ascended.
Sitting first on the left side of Sima Leiyun was an ugly man, with a pitted face, wearing a large earthy yellow robe, and at the shoulder, there was a spirit bird with yellow tail feathers squatting on his shoulder, and his small black eyes were looking left and right.
The ugly man opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, all the hidden stakes we installed in the city have been pulled out by the people of the Yang family!"
Sima Leiyun took a sip of transparent red wine and said comfortably: "Master Cheng, the Yang family has been based on thousands of years, and there is still some strength, those dark piles are broken, they are already some monsters of the demon clan, and it is not worth feeling distressed if they die!"
The monk surnamed Cheng nodded slightly, and continued: "But Lord Wang, that person asked us to exterminate the Yang family within half a year, but now three months have passed, and we still haven't made any progress?"
Sima Leiyun's fingers trembled slightly, and he immediately recovered his demeanor and said, "I summoned all the masters today just to see if you have any good suggestions!"
A bewitching woman got up and said, "Lord Wang, the little woman has a secret method, which can cast the Blood Cloud Dafa and summon a hundred-foot blood cloud on the Wuwei Mansion, which can drip out a little venom and kill all the people in the city!"
The ugly man echoed: "Lord Wang, I also have a secret technique, I can use the monstrous flame to cooperate with the blood cloud of Fairy Shen to kill a chicken and dog in the city!"
Sima Leiyun was a little disgusted, and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty the Emperor has the virtue of a good life, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed that he must not harm the lives of ordinary ordinary people, which will damage the spirit of my Sima Royal Family, and will also teach other sects to be on guard, so our target is only those monks of the Yang family, these ordinary people only need to be imprisoned and used as slaves!"
A white-haired old man, wearing a Taoist robe, immediately stood up and suggested: "Lord Wang, the poor Dao has a clever plan to force the Yang family monks to come out to fight, as long as we kill all the high-ranking monks, are you still worried that the Wuwei Mansion will not be broken?"
"Oh! Daoist Tang, please speak in detail quickly!" Sima Leiyun was immediately interested, and leaned forward slightly from the back of the chair.
Tang Ming is the real person of the Beidou Guan subordinate to the Sima family, proficient in the exquisite art of Qimen Dunjia, holding the Beidou sword, wearing a soul chasing belt around his waist, extremely strong, and he is also a famous figure in the cultivation world.
"Can we invite fellow monks to come here to watch the ceremony?" said Tang Ming with a smile and stroked his goatee.
"Watching the ceremony?" said everyone in the room, confused.
"Daoist Tang, please make it clear!" Sima Leiyun couldn't help but say again.
"Although the Yang family is already a sect lord, the power is all over the sky, but it is still the Xuanmen people, we only need to set up a life and death platform here, and fight with them one-on-one, if they do a shrinking turtle and dare not come out to fight, then their morale will fall greatly, and we will definitely break through the Wuwei Mansion in one go!"
The monk surnamed Cheng was puzzled: "Then what if they come out to fight?"
"Haha" Sima Leiyun suddenly laughed heartily, drank all the wine in one gulp, and said excitedly: "Come on, pass on my king's order, set up a life and death platform under Yangjiacheng, and invite colleagues to come to watch the ceremony!"
Two days later, under the city of the Yang family, six huge stone platforms were built at the same time.
Dozens of letters fell from the sky to the Wuwei Mansion.
It was a very simple letter of war. "The children of the Yang family have the courage to fight to the death!"
Zhang Xiaoshan also got a letter, his brows were furrowed, and there were words in his mouth: "What a vicious scheme!"
