229 The true face of Lushan
When the red is falling, the night will be thick.
Today's moon is not as good as before, there is only half a moon left, and it is still dim, and the sky is deep and cloudy, and the starlight is dim, which makes the night a little deeper.
Cheng Jun sat cross-legged under the window and continued to study the formation jade slip. Thanks to the cultivator, he only needs his divine sense, and he doesn't have to look with his eyes, otherwise this dim light will really hurt his eyes.
Suddenly, his heart moved, put down the jade slip, and Cheng Jun said: "Your guest is coming, forgive Cheng Jun for not being able to welcome him from afar, it's rude." β
In the dark shadows, someone smiled and said, "Although you are not in the Sword Pavilion, you are still so deaf and clear-sighted, admire and admire." β
Cheng Jun looked at the bright eyes in the dark shadow and said, "Since the real body is here, why don't you come out and let me see your true face?"
The man smiled again and said, "Interesting, how do you know that I am the real person this time? Although my puppet corpse is still in your hands, I have a lot of puppets in my hands, and any one of them can replace me." β
Cheng Jun said with a smile: "Except for the puppet corpse, how can there be such a flexible puppet in your mind? If you use other puppets to come, the real body must be within a few zhang, if I have the heart to look for it, I will naturally find it." It's better to come by yourself and fall into a downhill position. β
The man said, "That's right. "Slowly come out of the darkness.
I saw that the man was dressed similarly to Li Baocai, and his long black cloak covered his body, but his head and face were not deliberately covered. Looking at his appearance, he is in his twenties, and his appearance is almost featureless, only a pair of Danfeng eyes are raised, revealing a bit of femininity.
Cheng Jun nodded and said, "Daoyou's surname?"
The man said: "It's not expensive, and I don't have a surname, seeing that you care so much, you can call me Jiang Yin." I didn't just say this name casually, it was one of my usual last names. I didn't tell anyone else. β
Cheng Jun said: "I understand, it's an honor to hear a fake name." is also a Taoist friend, and it is even more brilliant, it is really too face-giving, and it is really flattering. It should have been a tea salute, but this is not a cold house, so it is neglected. Have a seat. β
Jiang Yin sneered: "Daoyou's mentality is really good, they are all locked up here, and they are so polite. β
Cheng Jun looked around, this is a house in front of the Jiufang Valley Waterfall, but a shack surrounded by reed mats, built extremely simply, the only advantage is that you can admire the moon from the roof without opening the window. He smiled and said, "Why, isn't this what Daoist friends mean? If you don't lock me up here, Daoist friends can't eat, can't sleep at night, and can't trade with peace of mind." I took the initiative to move here in order to understand the fragile nerves of Taoist friends. Daoyou is not sympathetic, and he is sarcastic, which is really sad. β
The corners of Jiang Yin's mouth twitched, and he said: "Don't say yin and yang, do you think I can't hear it? Do you mean to say that I'm afraid of you? Joke, the mountain people have been crisscrossing the Kunlun realm for more than a hundred years, and the years of cultivation are several times longer than yours, so they will be afraid of your juniors? That's just another clever plan for the mountain people." β
Cheng Jun laughed, this Jiang Yin doesn't seem to be very old, but if he is over 100 years old, it is not unusual. The Kunlun realm has sufficient spiritual energy, and the life span of people is far above the spiritual mountain realm. The Taoist system over there is the most particular about Taoism, and it is not uncommon for a foundation building monk to cultivate for two or three hundred years. However, if you have been cultivating in the mountains for a long time, you will not necessarily grow your mind as you get older, and the more ascetic you are, the more naΓ―ve you will be. said: "Then I don't know what happened to my friend's visit at night?"
Jiang Yin said: "Naturally, there is something, I specially came to negotiate with you." β
Cheng Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Yin said: "Let's talk about how I got out of here." β
Cheng Jun looked at Jiang Yin and said, "It's really unexpected for Daoyou to act. It's you who leave the letter yourself, exchange the corpses tomorrow, and then talk about other things. Now that Senior Brother Qin is about to set off with the puppet corpse, you came to me instead to say that you are negotiating something with me, is tomorrow's deal fake?"
Jiang Yin smiled: "Is it fake?" That depends on the outcome of our negotiations today. Today there is a conclusion, tomorrow's exchange is the icing on the cake, mutually beneficial. The most important thing is that if we come to a conclusion today, tomorrow's transaction can be carried out peacefully, and you don't have to guard against me not giving money, I don't have to guard against you from giving goods, and digging out your mind to oppose each other, what's the fun of that kind of transaction?"
After saying that, he smiled and said, "So, you should understand why I locked you up." Because then your surroundings will be clean, and I will come to you to negotiate, so there will not be so many people in the way. Otherwise, if they all try to count each other to death, how can the transaction be carried out? Don't you even understand the truth that buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous?"
Cheng Jun was dumbfounded and said, "So, you still have some good intentions?"
Jiang Yin said: "I naturally have good intentions. I said, how malicious am I?"
He looked at Cheng Jun with disdain and said, "Is there something wrong with you people in Jiuyan Mountain? I just came over with the spirit beast, and before it was good, someone came over with a sword, and I couldn't help but say, and cut off half of my spirit beast's tongue - yes, that person is you. At that time, I thought you were angry. As soon as I came out, good fellow, several people took turns to beat me, as if there was some deep hatred. After that, you didn't die, I killed a spirit beast, so I still suffered, right? Even if I take you some elixir, it's not too much. You will lock the mountain gate and fight with me. I went to negotiate with Qin Yue, and you put a ...... on it."
Cheng Jun said: "Wait, you are looking for Qin Yue to negotiate, when did you ask him to negotiate?"
Jiang Yin said angrily: "I told him, let him tell me the channel, I gave him generous terms, isn't it a negotiation? I didn't shout and kill, he wanted me to harm him. Say what toast and don't eat and drink, as if I'm going to do anything to him. It's obviously not a material to talk about business, but in the end, it put me together. I'm not going to negotiate with him anymore. β
Cheng Jun thought about it, this can also be explained, and suddenly smiled: "Then you can't blame him, who let you serve the shelf." A mountain man, a doll, no one can hear good words. If you had spoken more easily to the present yes, he might have believed your negotiating words. β
Jiang Yin said angrily: "Mountain people ......"
Cheng Jun said: "The word mountain man, like the poor road on our side, is a humble title. Generally not used with juniors, you are a group of juniors, why do you talk about a mountain man? Are you used to listening to the teacher at home, and you think it sounds very stylish, so you come here to talk about the slippery mouth?"
That Jiang Yin was silent for a while, jumped up, and punched Cheng Jun's nose, Cheng Jun shrank his head, put his hand on it, and said, "If you have something to say, big things come first." β
Jiang Yin took a breath, returned to his seat, and said, "You are just like that Qin Yue, your stomach is full of ghost eyes. I shouldn't have come to negotiate with you in the first place. β
Cheng Jun said: "I think so." Not to mention that I was there when I was in the Sword Pavilion confrontation at that time, you should be tired of me too. Even if I don't, I'm not the leader after all, and even if I have the heart, I can't be the master. β
Jiang Yin said: "That can't be helped. Because there's no better candidate. First, you Jiuyan Mountain people are too impulsive, and your minds are congested. I've been observing for a long time, and you still seem to be able to speak quietly. Others, just to make them quiet down and listen to my conditions, it will take a lot of effort. The fact is that we have been talking for so long, and you have not expressed hostility or called anyone, and on that basis alone, I did not choose the wrong person. I said, you probably didn't know I was coming. β
Cheng Jun smiled but didn't answer, how could it be so easy to get Zhu Yu, an extremely protective boss, to agree to lock himself up. Not to mention Jiang Yin's conditions, Cheng Jun pleaded by himself, and it took a lot of words.
Jiang Yin stared at Cheng Jun, not knowing how much he had guessed, snorted, and said, "Second, I don't plan to negotiate with you." But if you don't come forward with my conditions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win people's trust. He paused for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the formation mage in charge of refining the formation on Jiuyan Mountain." β
Cheng Jun said: "A little bit of it." β
Jiang Yin said: "That's it." Then on the Sword Pavilion, I saw that you were studying the formation, and I also went over to take a look. It seems to be a formation similar to teleportation, isn't it? I heard you talk about it, the escape channel of Jiuyan Mountain is not particularly sensitive, or there is a danger of collapse at a critical moment. Therefore, I speculate that this formation of yours may be an emergency escape formation, right?"
Cheng Jun was stunned and said, "What, you want to make a fuss about the formation?"
Jiang Yin raised his eyebrows and said: "Since that formation is the life-and-death stake for your escape, if it is incomplete, or has major flaws, and it collapses at a critical moment, blocking your way to escape, is it considered a major matter related to fate?
Cheng Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "You said that formation is flawed?"
Jiang Yin said: "The formation is good, it is a strange formation handed down from ancient times, communicating the two worlds, in an instant, it is not a problem." It's a pity, you are a fragment, and if I don't guide you to modify it, the formation will be the graveyard for all of you. β
Cheng Jun said lightly: "If this is the case, then it is fair." But there is one section, I am the formation mage of Jiuyan Mountain. How do you know that I can't change the layout of this formation?"
Jiang Yin said: "It's not that I underestimate you, first, you are just a junior who builds the foundation, look at your age is no more than a Jiazi, how much thought can you use on the formation?
Cheng Jun smiled faintly and did not answer.
Jiang Yin said: "Second, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. That formation was handed down from ancient times, and by now, many materials have long been lost. Only the Kunlun realm still remains. Without me, you would be able to conjure up a formation out of thin air?"
Cheng Jun's eyes moved, and he said, "You have materials on you now?"
Jiang Yin smiled proudly and said, "I can't talk to you in great detail now, but I always have a way." And the last section, I can include a giveaway. β
Cheng Jun said: "What?"
Jiang Yin said: "I will give you a foothold in the Kunlun Realm that matches your teleportation array. β
