Chapter 122: The Master-Apprentice Game
When Utu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh for a while.
If it weren't for Qi Zhenren's young age, there would be two masters, and they were both immortals. Two immortals taught him one, can this blessing be small?
Since he is an immortal of the Daomen, he is also a real person in Pingzhang.
But then again, listening to the meaning of Qi Zhenren's words, the first master didn't seem to be very satisfied with Qi Zhenren's apprenticeship with Donghua Zhenren, so he gave Qi Zhenren a small lesson.
The twists and turns in this are not known to outsiders.
Qi Xuansu put away the flying knife and asked, "How are things going in the village?" ”
His attention was all drawn by Zhou Mengyao's flying knife, and he didn't care about watching the situation on Utu's side.
Utu hurriedly replied, "Except for one who fled, the rest of the insects were all ambushed." As for those who have not had their eggs implanted, I have made proper arrangements. ”
Qi Xuansu nodded, still thinking about Zhou Mengyao's question.
This knife is uncanny and subtle, but it is not powerful enough. Is it Zhou Mengyao who intends to keep his hand? Or can't the last force of the strong crossbow enter Lu Min?
If it is the former, it is a matter of motivation, it may be a warning, but this contradicts Zhou Mengyao's past style of acting, Zhou Mengyao belongs to the kind of person who will not easily startle the snake, if it weren't for Qi Niang being an internal ghost, Qi Xuansu still doesn't know the existence of Zhou Mengyao, how could such a person give Qi Xuansu a warning inexplicably? It doesn't make sense.
If it is the latter, it means that Zhou Mengyao is not nearby, which gives rise to another question, since Zhou Mengyao is not nearby, how did she lock Qi Xuansu? Could it be that Zhou Mengyao left something similar to a trap near the village, when Qi Xuansu came here and inadvertently triggered the trap, Zhou Mengyao would shoot out of the air.
But it still doesn't make sense, because if the distance is too far, it is difficult for even immortals to directly kill the celestials in the creation stage, and only through the method of the town of Birth or Blood and Hair can they ignore the distance.
So what is the significance of Zhou Mengyao's shot?
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu said to Utu: "Utu, you check the surroundings to see if there are any traces of similar formations or traps, especially those related to the Daomen." ”
Utu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood Qi Xuansu's intentions. Although he is not a person of the Daomen, but after reaching the pseudo-immortal realm, many methods are different in principle, maybe Utu will not use the means of the Daomen, but it is not difficult to identify the means of the Daomen. In other words, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
The two began to search separately.
It's still the old way, don't be too troublesome, check it carefully inch by inch, and don't miss any place.
It took about two hours for Utu to find a trace of a triggered formation about three miles east of the place where Qi Xuansu was attacked.
This formation is only the size of a wheel, it is carved on the back of a large tree, and after it is triggered, it will begin to gradually dissipate, if Qi Xuansu and Utu do not find this formation, then it will soon dissipate completely, leaving no trace.
Qi Xuansu and Utu studied the remaining formation, and it was probably determined that the formation itself was not powerful, it was mainly a warning effect, and the scope enveloped the entire village, as well as some areas on the periphery of the village. Qi Xuansu did not trigger this warning formation, it should have been when Utufa was like heaven and earth, and the divine power of the night triggered the formation.
Then the divine thoughts in the formation quickly swept across the entire area, and after confirming the existence of Qi Xuansu, Zhou Mengyao, who was thousands of miles away, sensed it, and then shot out with a knife, hitting Qi Xuansu.
Time can be right, it was after Utu left that Qi Xuansu was attacked, but it gave people the illusion that someone was already hiding on the side, just waiting for Utu to leave, and immediately attacked. It was actually Utu's shot that triggered the formation, causing Zhou Mengyao to discover Qi Xuansu's existence.
Qi Xuansu watched the traces of this formation completely dissipate, and secretly thought in his heart.
Judging from the handwriting of this formation, it should be left by Zhou Mengyao. From this, it can be concluded that Zhou Mengyao has been to this village before, and she thinks that Qi Xuansu is likely to come here, but she can't be sure when Qi Xuansu will come, she may not have time, maybe she is impatient, anyway, she did not wait here for the rabbit, so she left this formation.
In the end, it was Qi Xuansu's former master, and he still had a deep understanding of Qi Xuansu, and it was easy to grasp Qi Xuansu's thoughts.
It is also possible that Zhou Mengyao went to all the insect man villages and left a similar formation, as long as Qi Xuansu made a move on the insect people, he would always encounter it.
For an immortal, it is not difficult to find a worm stronghold by himself, as long as he is willing to put in the time and effort, the immortal can do it. The key is that other immortals don't do it, if Zhou Mengyao wasn't because of Qi Xuansu, he wouldn't be willing to do this kind of thing, he would be in a high position and in power, and he would do it himself, wouldn't he be in power for nothing? This kind of trivial matter is still left to the people below to do, and the right is to train the younger generation.
As for why Zhou Mengyao didn't go to Xinxijing or Xinpayititi to find Qi Xuansu, the reason was very simple and easy to be discovered.
Qi Xuansu is not a lone ranger on the rivers and lakes, but one of the successors of the Daomen, it is inevitable that the stars will hold the moon, and there are always many people around him, and there is no shortage of pseudo-immortals such as Utu and Huen Ahan. These people are not vegetarians, three pseudo-immortals can resist immortals, and two pseudo-immortals will not be powerless at least to fight back.
As long as there is a little noise, the other immortals will take action.
Xinxijing is the base camp of Xidaomen, and Zhenxiao likes to stay in Xiushan, and Gongfu is generally in Xinxijing. Neo-Paitti is the stronghold of the old gods, and Ichchel is not as asleep as Kukulkan, maybe he is always staring at everything about Neopaittiti, even if Ishchel cannot come directly, the elect and incarnation of the old gods combined, should not be underestimated.
In addition, Qi Xuansu himself cannot be regarded as a child who has no power to resist, and it is very difficult for Zhou Mengyao to do something to Qi Xuansu under such conditions.
When he went back further, Qi Xuansu had been to the Northern Continent, but at that time, Zhou Mengyao had not yet freed his hands, and he had not yet had a showdown with Qi Niang.
So Zhou Mengyao can only wait for Qi Xuansu to leave Xinpayititi and Xinxijing before making any moves, which makes sense.
Only one last question remains, what is Zhou Mengyao's intention in giving him a knife?
Qi Xuansu habitually pinched his eyebrows, and this happened to be the place where the flying knife hit.
Then Qi Xuansu sensed that something was wrong.
A small scar was left here.
There is no problem with a scar on the wound, but it is very problematic when it is placed on Takeo. At the beginning, Qi Xuansu's hand was cut off, and after the severed limbs were reconnected, no traces were left, and Qi Xuansu suffered many injuries, and the flesh and blood derivatives were all restored as before.
This time, it left a scar that never disappeared.
Qi Xuansu's nails suddenly became longer, as sharp as a knife, and the scar was slowly cut, like an extra blood-colored vertical eye, and then looked at it in a mirror.
I saw that there was a cloud of breathlessness lingering in it, gathering and scattering, and the outline of the lines of the talisman could be vaguely seen.
Seeing this scene, Utu also understood what it meant, and his face was solemn: "This seems to be a mark, so Qi Zhenren's ...... The master will be able to lock the specific location of Qi Zhenren. ”
Locking Qi Xuansu through the formation is only temporary, and this imprint on Qi Xuansu's body can last for a long time.
In this way, Zhou Mengyao was able to grasp Qi Xuansu's specific whereabouts, and then at an unexpected time, he suddenly jumped out and gave Qi Xuansu a big "surprise".
That makes sense.
Zhou Mengyao's knife is not to kill people, nor to warn, but to lock Qi Xuansu. After all, the Southern Continent is so big, Qi Xuansu's whereabouts are uncertain, and it is indeed very troublesome to really look for him.
It's just that Qi Xuansu's reaction was quite fast, and Zhou Mengyao's identity was determined through Xiao Yin's side, and with a little luck, he saw through Zhou Mengyao's intentions.
In the first confrontation between the master and apprentice, Qi Xuansu did not fall too far behind.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Is there a way to get rid of it?" ”
Utu looked at it carefully for a moment, and his face was embarrassed: "Her Majesty can definitely do it." Otherwise, let's go back and ask Her Majesty to take a step and remove the mark. ”
In Utu's view, the problem of the insect man is all trivial, and if he does it well, he will not get any benefit, but if Qi Zhenren has a problem, then his sin will be great, and he may become a scapegoat. Her Majesty the Queen and Xidaomen want to give Daomen an explanation, and he is the one who explains.
Don't look at him as a big man in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the Daomen, especially in the eyes of the senior leaders of the Daomen, he is a small person. After all, Itsumner and Kukulkan are dead, so what is a voter?
So Utu put his posture very low, hoping that Qi Xuansu would put his own safety first.
Qi Xuansu didn't think about this, could it be that when he was frightened by Zhou Mengyao, he could only shrink into the turtle shell? So will he not do anything in the future?
Could it be that Zhou Mengyao is alive for a day, and he will be a shrinking turtle for a day?
So what else are you talking about? So what else is there to talk about being in charge of the Daomen?
The fundamental solution to this problem is, of course, Qi Xuansu's cultivation to be improved, and after having a pseudo-immortal cultivation, at least he will have some strength to fight back. After becoming an immortal, Qi Xuansu didn't have to be afraid at all, and even wished that Zhou Mengyao would come to the door, and he would be able to kill Zhou Mengyao with his own hands.
It's just that Qi Xuansu is still quite far away from the immortals, so she can't keep shrinking like this, so she still has to find a way to hurt Zhou Mengyao, so that she is afraid.
Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, there is no need to make a storm in the city." ”
Utu wanted to speak and stopped.
Of course, Qi Xuansu didn't want to joke with his life, in case Zhou Mengyao became angry and moved to kill, he had to have a way to deal with it.
Qi Xuansu really has a way, that is, the "Moon in the Water" left by Wu Niang, you can ask Jiang Dazhen to come out. This incident happened in the Paiti Cave Heaven, and Zhou Mengyao should not have known about it.
If the plan is right, Qi Xuansu takes himself as a chess piece and enters the game in person, and playing chess with immortals like this will not be impossible to win.
