"It's ...... The pearls of light produced in the East China Sea Mansion? ”

Zhao Xiao's fingertips flicked, and as the pearl swayed, the erratic aura above was entwined and changed, and it also vaguely reflected Zhao Xiao's fingers.

Luo Xixian praised and said: "Good eyesight." ”

Zhao Xiao was even more shocked: "Such a bag of pearls containing light is actually the reward for killing demons in the salt field?" Can the public be so generous? If they don't have any cash in their hands, it is estimated that a stamped slip will be able to deal with the past! ”

Although the gold and silver cakes of the Tianxia Dynasty are still popular in the world, they are heavy and inconvenient to carry. Just as cloth can also be used as a measure in the market, some of the more recognized, light and valuable treasures of heaven and earth have become the common wealth among monks.

Kunlun jade is more common in Kunlun Continent, and this kind of light bead is in the East China Sea. But after all, these things are not real coins, and they are also useful in the hands of various sorcerers and monks, and it is definitely not ordinary people to be able to take out a bag of pearls containing light as a reward.

Luo Xixian explained in a low voice: "The salt farm I went to is the property of the Zhou family. ”

"Queen Zhou, her family?" Zhao Xiao asked: "But the income from the operation of the salt farm must be handed over to the imperial treasury, and they dare to resell illicit salt for profit?" ”

"I don't know if there is any reselling of illicit salt, but that's not how the light beads come from." Luo Xixian said with a smile: "The salt field is just a cover, the real business of the Zhou family is to bypass the Chongxuan Pavilion and trade with one of the water mansions in the East China Sea. ”

This Zhao Xiao can be regarded as an eye-opener. The so-called water house is mostly a place where water monsters live. Different from the spirit lairs of the land and mountain forests, the water mansion is often created by the water monsters in the shape of dragons, with the help of the innate water resistance ability.

Some dragons have fornicated with mortals, and most of the descendants with dragon blood will also enter the Shuifu to live in peace, and over time form the Shuifu family.

In the depths of the East China Sea in Kunlunzhou, there is more than one water house, among which the dragon clan blood yin and water house families occupy the sea frontier, just like the countries contending, and the situation is comparable to Kunlun today.

And because there are countless treasures in the sea, each water house has been operating for many years, and the wealth is comparable to the country, and there is trade with Kunlun since ancient times, and there is even a fang market in the sea. As far as Zhao Xiao knew, Huaxu was controlled by Chongxuanguan in China and traded with many water houses in the East China Sea, and sent envoy fleets to the East China Sea from time to time.

Now the Zhou family, a descendant of Huaxu Kingdom, has bypassed the Chongxuan Pavilion and reached a contact with a certain East China Sea Mansion alone, which may reflect the contest between the royal family and the princess of the family.

No matter how stupid Zhao Xiao is, he can see that the turmoil in the court of Huaxu Kingdom is about to rise, and it is no wonder that Luo Xixian, who is the concubine of the minister, is determined to make a career in Xingluo County and set up his own door.

The nobles have already begun to move, betting on their own treasures, and it is estimated that there will be a big move in Xingluo County.

"You're tying me up to a thief ship." Zhao Xiao looked at the bag of pearls containing light in his hand.

Luo Xixian stretched out his hand and said, "If you don't want it, forget it." ”

Zhao Xiao hurriedly dodged: "You still expect to snatch the meat from my mouth?" ”

"Can you help then?" Luo Xixian went up to grab a hand, and scolded with a smile: "Don't be too greedy!" A whole bag of light beads, I also have a lot of pain! ”

"Leave it! If I don't let go, I'll bite! ”

"Master Zhao, it's okay to have a face! Other monks and masters were captured and subdued, and they all fought back without pinching the trick with their hands and reciting spells, how could anyone bite with their teeth like you? ”

"I'm not a master! This time I go back to Xingluo County, something big will definitely happen, I might as well pick up the light bead and run away! ”

"Big things are big things! I don't want to shrink into the hall for the rest of my life, don't you also look forward to going to the Chongxuan Pavilion? ”

"I'm here to study the Immortal Family's Mystic Method! Is it the same thing as being able to do it? ”

"Don't you understand? The first one doesn't want you to go to Chongxuan Hall! Even if the affairs of Chengyang County are done, he will not give you that letter of recommendation! ”

The two big men were scuffling and playing, and when Zhao Xiao heard this, he suddenly quieted down.

Luo Xixian patted him on the shoulder and said, "The students who have spent so much effort to cultivate, who is willing to send them to Chongxuan Pavilion casually?" I don't know to others, with your level, proficient in spells, good at lighting magic utensils, and can also concoct incense, you have long been able to reach the position of Sanqing. You don't need to follow my example, you rely on going out to deal with evil spirits to accumulate merit, as long as you stay in the Huaiying Pavilion, maybe you can even compete for the first seat in the future! ”

"But the teacher kept pressing me and didn't let me take my head." Zhao Xiao squatted down a little helplessly and drew circles on the snow.

"You're a fan of the authorities." Luo Xixian sighed: "The first one is afraid that if you go to Chongxuan Pavilion, you will be eaten by those children of the family and there will be no bones left." Your father has made great contributions in the Mirage Valley, and even if he dies because of it, you, as a son, deserve to be knighted. The result? No fart! If I were you, I would have hated the Chongxuan Pavilion guys a long time ago, but you are still drilling into it in a hurry, can the first one not be angry? ”

After experiencing Chengyang County, now Zhao Huang also reminisces about it, Zhang Duanjing used to deliberately limit him to Huaiying Hall. Even if Zhao Huang went to Chengyang County to do business, Zhang Duanjing also kept an eye on himself.

Zhao Xiao's father died on the battlefield, his mother remarried early, and he followed his grandfather to exile when he was a child. After his grandfather died of illness, he has been practicing Qi with Zhang Duanjing in Huaiying Pavilion. Unlike other pavilion students who come and go, Huaiying Pavilion is almost Zhao Xiao's home, and Zhang Duanjing is the elder of this family.

It is not uncommon for Luo Xixian to have his own meritorious pursuits. However, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Huang is looking forward to leaving the Huaiying Pavilion and going to the Chongxuan Pavilion, which is somewhat despicable and ugly.

"Come to Starfall County to help me." Luo Xixian said: "In the coming day, there will be changes in the court, and the group of incompetent insects who rely on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors will be swept away, and you don't need to rely on any recommendations, just take Chongxuan Pavilion as your own." ”

Zhao Xiao was silent on his lips, but he communicated with Lingxiao in his mind-

"In this way, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Chongxuan Pavilion in a short time, can you afford to wait?"

Ling Xiao asked rhetorically: "Ordinary people, talk about the years and days in front of me?" ”

"I'm stupid." Zhao Xiao reacted that the spirit flute had been hidden in the True Yuan Lock for thousands of years, and the time of a generation was not a long time for her at all.

Zhao Xiao turned around and said, "I'm just worried about whether the True Yuan Lock will be tossed out of trouble during this period of time, or taken away by others. ”

Ling Xiao was not too anxious: "The True Yuan Lock was originally a magic weapon for me to deduce the opening of the Cave Heaven, and later it was in line with the operation of the Cave Heaven. The prohibition I imposed in it would be difficult to break even if it took the Immortal Family a hundred years. Even if there are masters in the Chongxuan Pavilion who are almost immortal, at best, they only perceive that the True Yuan Lock is unique. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Xiao stood up and said to Luo Xixian: "You don't have to make wishes to me with all kinds of officials, first make the Xingluo County cuisine clear." ”

"Of course!"

Zhao Xiao and Luo Xixian came to the courtyard of the pavilion, and the women were still chatting on the edge of the corridor, and when they saw the two coming, one of them was wearing a fox fur, a petite and cute woman said:

"Luo Xixian, what are you going to send this time?"

Xin Shunying, who was sitting next to her, shook her head gently: "Sister Huanhuan, what you said is too rude." Mr. Luo has been promoted to Sanqing, and he is busy with affairs, how can he play with you in the past? ”

Xin Shunying's eyebrows were picturesque, with a falling ponytail on her head, obviously mature and steady, holding the scroll in her hand and gently knocking on the little head of the Huanhuan girl.

"Is there something going on with the two of you?" Xin Shunying looked at Zhao Xiao and Luo Xixian, and her eyes stayed on Zhao Xiao for a moment, intentionally or unintentionally.

Luo Xixian smiled and explained: "Recently, bandits in Xingluo County have been rampant, and they are colluding with local monsters. The imperial court ordered each pavilion to send people to suppress bandits and eliminate demons, and at Zhao Xiao's suggestion, I planned to invite Senior Sister Xin to accompany me. ”

"Oh?" Xin Shunying covered half of her face with a scroll, and looked at Zhao Huang with interest: "Senior Brother Zhao's demeanor is a little more transcendent and mysterious, I will say why it is common to see fairy spirits in the back mountain recently, and it turns out that Senior Brother Zhao has entered the realm again." ”

Zhao Xiao was shocked by Xin Shunying's insight, it is said that he is not breathing qi refining at the moment, nor is he holding spells, and the qi around his body should naturally be hidden, but he is still seen through by Xin Shunying at a glance.

"Senior Sister Xin praised it falsely, where is there any fairy spirit." Zhao Xiao waved his hand and shook his head.

"So you're saying my eyesight is not good?" Xin Shunying's eyebrows showed a sly smile: "In that case, I don't have to go to Xingluo County to drag you back." ”

Zhao Xiao was pushed by Luo Xixian, and he had to redeem himself: "Where is it!" Senior Sister Xin's eyes are like torches, where can I hide this ability from you? ”

Xin Shunying didn't tease anymore, and asked seriously: "The situation in Xingluo County has reached the point where it is necessary to mobilize a large army to conquer and suppress?" ”

Zhao Xiao explained: "At present, I have learned from the first seat that the local monsters may have dealings with the Xuan Netherworld. Although Panlong Mountain is a dangerous obstacle that is difficult for birds to cross, it is related to the stability of the border areas, and this kind of internal and external collusion must be strictly stopped. If you indulge for a long time, the country will not be a country. ”

Zhao Xiao's words, even he didn't feel like he was talking about suppressing bandits and eliminating demons and stabilizing the borderlands. Considering that although Xin Shunying's family is not a wealthy family, she has endless contacts with the nobles of the court, so she should be clear about the current situation.

"This kind of thing, it stands to reason that Zhang Shouzuo should directly inform the people in the hall and order the scheduling." Xin Shunying's eyes rolled, and when she saw Luo Xixian, she immediately figured it out: "Oh, it seems that Zhang Shouzuo entrusted this matter to Luo Gongzi?" ”

Luo Xixian smiled and said nothing, which was a tacit acquiescence. Xin Shunying nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I should not insist on avoiding it." It's just that I'm not as good at fighting as you are, and if you put me in a dangerous realm like Starfall County, I'm afraid that before you can see your success, I'm going to be killed by a stray arrow from nowhere. ”

Xin Shunying's words are both right and wrong. Not all monks who practice magic are good at fighting. In the halls of Huaxu Kingdom, there is no shortage of white people who are poor and poor, and they have been buried in the pile of old papers all their lives. Counting on them to go to the battlefield to fight, I am afraid that before the spell is finished, they will be knocked down by an illiterate reckless man.

What's more, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and being skilled in magic does not mean that he is proficient in killing, like Wang Miaoshou's kind of martial artist, he can't raise any sword qi, and he can still stab Mr. Zhu with a stick.

But Zhao Xiao didn't believe that Xin Shunying was really as weak as she said, and the real clever fortune teller was powerful because others didn't know how powerful they were. Because he is good at divination, he can often make arrangements before the enemy expects them. What's more, the astronator who will get caught in a face-to-face fight is not smart enough.

Zhao Xiao's heart moved, he felt that he had fallen into Xin Shunying's temptation, so he listened to the other party's words: "I can go to Xingluo County with you, but I am refining a talisman treasure right now, and it is inconvenient to travel far away." If Senior Brother Zhao can help, he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"So I'm waiting." Zhao Xiao muttered in his heart, and he could only agree: "Then I don't know what Senior Sister Xin is refining?" ”

"If Senior Brother Zhao has free time now, he will come with me."

After Xin Shunying finished speaking, Zhao Xiao and Luo Xixian glanced at each other, and the other party said, "Go ahead, I'll go find someone else first." ”

……

The Huaiying Pavilion occupies a large area, but the buildings are not magnificent, all of them are practical and tidy, with high walls and thick walls, and isolation from noise. And from a high-altitude overlook, the implicit formation pattern is convenient for different courtyards to take the light of the gas regenerator, and each takes what it needs.

Among them, the Hundred Instruments Courtyard for refining magic weapons is located in the northeast, and before you enter it, you can see five tall copper pillars standing in the middle, and the surface of the copper pillars is engraved with a talisman seal, which captures the subtle qi machine between heaven and earth, so that it can be used at any time.

The formation of these copper pillars is similar to the Qingxuan pen in Zhao Xiao's hand, but the scale pattern is different. If you want to drive the formation and make the qi machine condense on the magic equipment, you also need multiple monks to work together.

Zhao Xiao followed Xin Shunying to an altar in the Hundred Instruments Courtyard, on which an armillary sphere was placed.

The armillary sphere is made of silver-white material, and the size of the ten fingers of both hands is closed, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite. It seemed to be stagnant, but in the Ying Xuan Illumination Technique, it seemed that this thing was actually slowly absorbing Zhou Tianxingqi.

"This is the Chonghui armillary sphere I want to refine." Xin Shunying introduced: "This device can help me drive the star qi to protect my body, and it can also use the power of the stars to determine the position of someone or something. ”

"Oh? That's an extraordinary weapon. Zhao Xiao could see clearly that Xin Shunying's words were not important. It's just that he found that this Chonghui armillary sphere seems to be able to serve as a hub for arranging forbidden formations.

"There is no problem with the method of sacrifice, does Senior Sister Xin want me to speed up the process?" Zhao Xiao soon discovered the key, the operation of the armillary sphere was completely according to the moving speed of the sun, moon and stars, so the absorption of Zhou Tian's star qi would definitely be slow.

Xin Shunying nodded and said, "Of course, I just don't know if Senior Brother Zhao has a wonderful method?" ”

In the past, Zhao Xiao estimated that there were still some difficulties. However, he received the Sun and Moon Refining Method taught by Lingxiao, and practiced day and night for half a year, and he also had a somewhat unique understanding of the relationship between the movement of the sun, moon and stars and the true qi of the human body.

"I can try." Zhao Xiao suddenly had other thoughts: "I'm just afraid that my cultivation is short-sighted, and it will damage Senior Sister Xin's magic weapon in the slightest......"

Xin Shunying covered her mouth and chuckled: "Isn't Senior Brother Zhao trying to ask for advice on the method of armillary instrument refining?" ”

Zhao Xiao hit the snake with the stick, and bowed down directly: "If I can get the guidance of Senior Sister Xin, I will definitely be used for life!" ”
