A few days later, the five of Qian Chao returned to the sect.

In the next ten days, in addition to getting together with a few partners from time to time and practicing according to this and that formation, Qian Chao put all his mind on two things. One of them is naturally the painting that he got in the Yiming Pavilion, and he put a lot of thought into this painting Qian Chao, and asked Senior Brother Fang Yan in the inner hall to help him, and with Fang Yan's help and dredging, Qian Chao climbed to the third floor of the library building where only the disciples of the foundation can enter, and went there to find information; The second is the books obtained from the ruins, and the methods of refining spiritual weapons recorded in them have been carefully studied, and the big shield that he refines is confident that even if it is still inferior to the eight-foot peck, it will not be easily destroyed.

The eight-foot pecking iron beak is not as long as eight feet after being refined by Qian Chao, it is much shorter, but its sharpness and swiftness are rare among the many spiritual weapons of Qian Chao, so this thing is also classified as not easy to use by Qian Chao.

Then there is the eight-foot peck on the two wings of the iron feathers, by Qian Chao painstakingly made a feather fan, Qian Chao found a secluded place to try, after the first fan Qian Chao fell down, this feather fan consumes a huge aura than the folding fan is still excessive, but its power is even more staggering Qian Chao, several floors high mountain wall, by this feather fan, the wind blade twisted together on it, actually forced out a deep cave there, at that time the rumbling sound, the mountains and rocks flew wildly, but fortunately Qian Chao fell, otherwise you will be hit by the flying rocks, and you may have to suffer some injuries.

In addition, Qian Chao handed over a lot of spirit swords that he used to use for himself to Bu Yan to sell, and he re-refined some of them himself, and these are the prototypes of his sword formation in the future, although the number is less than before, but in terms of power, it is not only one or two percent larger.

When refining the weapon, Qian Chao's heart suddenly moved, thinking of the last time Shang Jie came to him to talk about Du Sha, a matter that was spread by many disciples, he didn't even hear about refining weapons in his residence every day, it can be seen that his residence has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that some important things are refined, and he doesn't worry about people coming to watch them when refining, and the disadvantage is that he refining the weapon by himself, so the excitement in the Chengqi Hall can't be heard, and there is no way to know what happened in many sects.

Thinking of this, Qian Chao got up, left his residence and went straight to Chengqitang.

As soon as Qian Chao left his residence, Ma Hu came to the door, but he was closed.

The last time Qian Chao returned to the sect from the Cold Spring Valley, he also told Ma Hu what he encountered outside, and Ma Hu's heart jumped suddenly, he didn't expect Senior Brother Qian to meet Wen Liang, and he didn't expect Wen Liang to have a foundation building monk by his side, if he touched it, it is estimated that his life would be explained outside; Second, I didn't expect that there were people who had refined evil pills there in the place where I inquired about taking out sneaky guys, and those evil pills were also related to gentleness!

If Ma Hu found that place by himself, in addition to being able to smell some unpleasant smell inside, Ma Hu alone would not be able to find the formation there, let alone discover the secrets there.

Qian Chao also gave Ma Hu two names, and he went to investigate, one was Haikun and the other was tortured, which Qian Chao and others overheard in the secret room full of dead bodies, and these two people were also related to Wen Liang.

And Ma Hu came to find Qian Chao today because of the news of these two people, so he came, but he didn't want to meet Qian Chao.

……

Just when Qian Chao entered the Chengqi Hall, greeted some of the senior brothers he knew, and then listened to the lively things said by many disciples while he was busy, somewhere outside the sect, this place was actually not far from the sect, there were neither hard-to-find spiritual grasses nor powerful demon beasts, and the trees were sheltered, very quiet, and it was a good place to talk. With a burst of fragrant powder coming with the wind, a slender woman gently removed the cover of the thin branches and fell gently.

It was Shangguan Hong, she was the only one, and her sister Shangguan Xiu did not come with her.

Shangguan Hong paced back and forth lightly after falling, looked left and right and found no one, seemed to be sure that there was someone here, she said:

"I'm here, do you still want to hide? You asked me to come here, and I have to meet before we can talk. ”

"Why did you come back?" Sure enough, a somewhat cold young man's voice came from behind her.

"Well, that's right, it's only been a long time, and you can hide it from my ears and eyes, so it can be seen that there has been great progress in cultivation." Shangguan Hong said.

"I ask you, why did you come back!" There was some impatience in the man's tone.

"Why can't I come back?" Shangguan Hong's tone also grew colder.

"You just stayed in your Shangguan's house, why did you come back?"

"Humph! I thought so at first, but well, I didn't expect that I would be able to return to the Five Spirits Sect, well, it's not bad, since I can come back, of course I want to come back, look, no matter how good the family is, it's not as good as the sect, it's only been how many years, my cultivation has not improved, but you have improved by leaps and bounds, so, why do you say I came back? ”

"If it's for the sake of cultivation, then you practice your duty, why do you have to stir up the wind and rain as soon as you come back, what kind of heart do you have?"

"I'm stirring up the wind and rain!" Shangguan Hong's face turned completely cold: "I was expelled from the sect in a daze, and I was wronged, wasn't it all because of you?" Now you actually say that I stir up the wind and rain, what? Do you feel uncomfortable when you see me and think I'm an eyesore, and want to drive me away again? ”

"What happened back then ......"

"Hah! Back then, she died in front of you, I really can't figure it out, how ruthless your heart is? It's like something you love, but you can be ruthless and destroy ......"

"Nonsense!"

The man became emotional, and his face also showed a flush of blood, obviously angry, but Shangguan Hong didn't care, but looked at him for a long time.

"Back then...... If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died at all, it's all ...... You killed her! ”

"Don't be stupid, my little junior brother, that's just a lesson for you, I just want to tell you, you will never be able to compare to him, and you will never get her, ha, I still underestimated you, I didn't expect you to kill both of them with such a ruthless heart, admire!"

After saying this, a chill appeared on Shangguan Hong's face:

"But I never thought that you actually planned to blame me from the beginning, and in the end let me bear this charge, what a good calculation, I have been at home all these years and have not been able to figure out, how did you do it!"

"So, you started checking me? Why didn't you check in Shangguan's house, but you went back to the sect to start checking? ”

"Originally, I was going to admit this dumb loss, I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to return to the Five Spirits Sect, well, since I'm back, hum, people say that if you fall somewhere, you have to get up from there, right? I will stay in the Five Spirits Sect in the future, and I can't keep reciting that unwarranted infamy, so how you gave it to me in the first place, I will pay you back in the future! ”

"Don't dream, the people you sent out won't come back."

As he spoke, the man threw a string of things in front of Shangguan Hong with a "bang".

It was a few jade pendants, and it was the Shimen jade pendant worn by the disciples of the Five Spirits Sect, and it should have been hung on the waists of several people before.

Shangguan Hong glanced at it and recognized the names on those jade pendants.

"Eh, your hands are really ruthless, you killed so many people at once, and you actually said that I stirred up the wind and rain."

"You can continue to send someone to check and see if you can get your wish."

"You don't really think that I just rely on ......" Shangguan Hong kicked the string of jade pendants on the ground with his toes, "These people can find you out, right?" Ha ha! ”

"What do you mean?"

"These stupid people are sent to you to kill, in fact, there are more than these few, I sent several groups of people, but you only found them, alas, you are still a little worse, I can only say that there have been no decent characters in the sect over the years, so you are stupid like this, tell you, the news has already spread out, it is estimated that it will not be long before I will come back, during this time you can guess which people are delivering the news to me, if you guess the wrong and kill the wrong person, I will know everything!"

"You ......"

The forest was quiet, and the insects and birds were suddenly forbidden, and the place was silent all of a sudden, and after a while, when the birdsong gradually rose, Shangguan Hong spoke:

"What? Not going to do it again? ”

"I'll tell you one last time, stop it, don't wait until the end and I'll kill you together!"

"Hmph...... Little junior brother, you are still not sure, if you are sure, you have already made a move, right? ”

The man ignored Guan Hong any longer, and flew away through the branches and leaves above as soon as his figure was pulled.

Shangguan Hong's face slowly regained his calmness, thought for a while, looked down at the string of jade pendants on the ground, and then stepped on it lightly, and with a few clicks, all the jade pendants were broken.

……

"I said, Senior Brother Qian, it's really hard to find you these days, why do you go out every day?"

At night, at Qian Chao's residence, Ma Hu complained while drinking tea with a teacup.

"I've been refining weapons in the Chengqi Hall these days."

"Isn't there a fire eye under your residence, why do you still go to Chengqi Hall?"

"Chengqi Hall is lively, many things in the sect can be heard there, it is quiet here, no one disturbs, but I can't hear the things outside."

"And what did you hear?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just ...... Well, the people in the Chengqi Hall said that it seems that some people have gone out and never come back recently, although this kind of thing has happened in the past, but it seems to have happened more recently. ”

"Normal!" Ma Hu said, and drank the tea in the cup in one sip, "That mother-in-law is back, she has always been dishonest, every day is either pondering this or pondering that, but there are so many people, I think I can hold a thigh, take the initiative to stick to her, some people have long been unable to see it, recently I have heard that those guys who surround Shangguan's mother-in-law every day will be stopped by people who hate Shangguan Hong, and then they can fight a game." Oh, by the way, just a few days ago, Luo Ying and Lu Shuang's two mothers-in-law met Shangguan Hong outside, and almost made a move, although Luo Ying's mother-in-law didn't do it, but that mouth was really powerful, and she kept scolding Shangguan mother-in-law's white face into a pig's liver color, haha! ”

"Oh? Didn't you say that Senior Sister Luo was also bullied by her before? ”

"That's right, but that was before, Luo Ying's fiery temper, she could suffer losses but couldn't admit defeat, she was bullied back then, it was her cultivation and means that were not good, but now if she really does it, well, with Lu Shuang, plus Luo Bin and Wenyuan, Shangguan Hong can't take advantage no matter how powerful he is."

"Is Shangguan Hong very powerful?"

"Of course, if it weren't for her outstanding means, it would be impossible to stir up trouble among the disciples in the sect, she is a royal spirit, but even those who have suffered her losses can't see what kind of spirit beast she raised, I can't see it last time I lost to her, you say, is she powerful?"

Qian Chao nodded, thinking in his heart that if Tang Ping and Shangguan Hong made a move one day, both of them were of the same sect, and I don't know which one of them could be more clever in this method.

"By the way, what did you find out about the two names you gave to Senior Brother Ma last time?"

"Well, I just wanted to talk about this matter from you, Hai Kun, I found out, if you hadn't said that this name was said by you from the mouth of a gentle person, I wouldn't have thought there was a problem with this kid, well, Hai Kun, high-level Qi refining, well, it's not too low-key, but it's not public, and it's not the kind of person who is introverted and wooden, and he usually goes in and out of the sect with a fixed number of people, and although his cultivation is not very fast, it is by no means like those people recruited by Wen Liang, it is not happy, but it is also very smooth, and it has been sixty or seventy years since he entered the sect, A very ordinary person, I watched it for a few days, hey, I don't see anything wrong, but keep paying attention, his things are wrapped up in me. ”

"As for the punishment you said, this person has disappeared more than thirty years ago, I don't know if he lives or dies, Brother Qian, you don't need to ask me about this person anymore, you should go to your inner hall to ask, Xingrang, I once participated in a 'sword and armor examination' in your inner hall when I was on the sixth layer of refining, but I failed, and then disappeared, maybe I can ask more details in your inner hall."

"Oh, the torturer once wanted to join the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall?"

"Yes, those senior brothers in your inner hall should have an impression of him, you should go there and ask, by the way, what does this torturer do?"

"It's still unclear, Torture Rang, from what he heard, it was speculated that he should cooperate with Wen Liang, or Wen Liang asked him for help with something, but at the same time, these two people were wary of each other and guarded against each other...... Senior Brother Ma, if he had really been hiding outside for more than thirty years, then how did the spirit stones he had cultivated over the years come from, could it be that they were all robbed, and if that was the case, the rumors about him would have been flying all over the sky a long time ago. ”

"This ...... I can't figure it out, but since he can cultivate at the sixth layer of the face weapon, he dares to go to the inner hall to conduct the sword and armor examination, which means that the kid is at least a hand in refining weapons, will he ......?"

Ma Hu said, and a pair of eyes blinked a few times uneasily.

"Could it be that those evil things that can always circulate in the sect are those that kid refined and sold?"

"Horcrux...... Evil weapons? ”

"Possibly!"

"Nadusha ......"

"Senior Brother Qian, this is also our own guess, I think you should go to your inner hall once tomorrow and ask ......"

"Good!"

……

"This ......," Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao's feather fan made of eight-foot pecked iron feathers, "Is it really that powerful?" What is the difference between it and the fan made of the feathers of the sparrow? ”

"I think the fan made of the feathers of the mahgu finch is better than it, at least the power of the folding fan I can control, I can only use this feather fan once, and then I have to rest for a while, the aura consumed is too much, and a fan can make me exhausted, and the whole body is empty. However, the power of this feather fan is very strong. ”

"That hole ......," Tang Ping looked at the black hole on the mountain wall, "Is it really you fanned out?" ”

"Of course, I was terrified, who would have thought that this fan would be so powerful! It didn't fan out the wind at all, but a cluster of wind blades. ”

"That's amazing! I'm going to give it a try too......"

"Hey, be careful......"

Tang Ping is not good at using spiritual weapons, so naturally she can't exert the power of this fan, Rao is so, her face turned a lot whiter all of a sudden, only to feel that the aura of her whole body was suddenly pulled out by the fan in her hand, and there was a crackling sound of stones breaking on the opposite mountain wall, and when she looked at it again, there were many criss-crossing cracks on the stone wall, if she used spiritual weapons often, maybe there would really be a big hole there.

"You're right, this thing is indeed very aura consuming," Tang Ping only felt a wave of exhaustion on his body, and quickly stuffed the fan back into Qian Chao's hand, "Give it back to you, it's not fun." ”

After gasping for a while, Tang Ping asked again:

"You said you had something to look for me, what is it?"

Qian Chao shook his head, this girl snatched this fan to play with as soon as she arrived at her residence, and now she finally remembered to get down to business.

"Remember those two names we overheard?"

"Oh, a sea kun, a torturer, what...... Found it? ”

"Well, it's all Ma Amber who found it, and Ma Hu will keep an eye on him in the future, but the torture let not find much."

"Oh? What happened to the torture Jean? ”

"This person has been missing for more than thirty years, more than thirty years ago, he refined qi at the sixth level, and like me, he also participated in the sword and armor examination school in the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall, but he didn't pass, and then I went to the inner hall, but the senior brother in the inner hall was hesitant and refused to say it all, and asked me why I asked about the matter of the punishment, which made me a little embarrassed, and I couldn't make the decision if the things we were investigating could be said, so I found you."

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm asking a Senior Brother Liao, according to what Senior Tang said, those who can stay in the sect at this time are all trustworthy people, but looking at what Senior Brother Liao means, he must know some things, but he doesn't want to say it, it is likely to involve some things that people don't want to know in the past, Chengqitang still pays attention to face, so I think if I can ask a trustworthy senior brother to talk to Senior Brother Liao first, let him know what we are investigating, let him let down his guard, and then tell us everything he knows, What do you think? ”

Tang Ping thought about it after hearing this, and said:

"It's okay, I've also heard of that Senior Brother Liao, it is said that he is a very stubborn person, well, it is not appropriate for me to come forward with Senior Sister Ruo, but Senior Brother Xu Sheng seems to have some friendship with him, and it just so happens that he is back, I will beg him, it should be no problem."

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Qian Chao was still refining weapons in the Chengqi Hall, and then he saw two people coming out of the inner hall, one was Xu Sheng, and the other was Senior Brother Liao.

When he came back, Senior Brother Liao was the only one, he looked at it, found Qian Chao, and then nodded.

Qian Chao immediately stopped what he was doing and followed Senior Brother Liao into the inner hall.

"Senior Brother Qian, Xu Sheng came here just now and told me about a few of you little guys, of course he didn't say everything, but it was confidential, and I didn't want to hear it all, since you are working for the sect and it involves the torture of this person, then I will tell you everything I know."

"Yes, junior brother listens."

"Well, in recent years, there have indeed been a few eye-catching figures in our Chengqi Hall, such as Senior Brother Wuge, such as Senior Brother Xu Bo, and then your Senior Brother Qian, all of whom entered the inner hall of Chengqi Hall in the Qi refining stage, which is indeed rare and commendable, but there is another person who has also become a disciple of our inner hall, and that person is the torturer you inquired about."

"Ever?" Qian Chao was a little curious when he heard it.

"Well, I guess what you heard was that the torture made you fail the sword armor exam at that time, right?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe, those were deliberately said later, it's not a secret, Senior Brother Qian, the punishment was removed from our inner hall, and he passed the sword and armor examination school back then, well, but it's not as strict as you this time, and it's precisely because of the punishment that you used the method of ten blind selections when you entered the inner hall."

"That is......"

"Hmph, torture, he was removed from the list because the evil thing was revealed, and it will take less than a month for him to enter the inner hall until he is removed."

"So......" Qian Chao picked up the small sign of the identity of the inner hall on his waist, "If he hadn't discarded it, the torturer would have this thing on his body?" ”

"Not bad."

"That'...... Please tell me more about it. ”

"Xing Rang is a very smart, hard worker, the first time he participated in the sword armor examination was when he was refining the third layer of qi, that time was a real failure, the sword armor he refined could not meet the standards of the inner hall, and then, this kid began to work harder, at this point, at least at that time, we still admired it in our eyes, and then it was the time for him to refine the sixth layer of qi, and the sword and armor examination school that time was not presided over by me, but then before he had an accident, I saw the sword armor he refined, it was really good, Senior Brother Qian, It can be said that it is not inferior to what you refine, hehe, at least I didn't have this means when I was refining the sixth layer of qi, so I still admired him at that time. ”

"At that time, he passed the sword and armor examination, and everything that should be given to him was given, and everyone was very happy, just as there was another promising junior disciple in the inner hall. Alas, how did you know that something happened in less than a month! ”

Qian Chao asked, "Senior Brother Liao, what's wrong?" ”

"One day, someone came back from outside the sect with a serious injury, and reported to the sect that someone had injured people with an evil weapon, and it was a matter of ten days after the torture was allowed to enter the inner hall, and the sect immediately sent someone to investigate, hmph, that time went well, we went out and chased for a few days and caught the kid who used the evil weapon, and then brought it back for interrogation, and then began to follow the vine and touch the melon, and a series of guys who used evil weapons were caught in the sect, and the trial was reviewed, and it was found that the evil weapons used by these guys were bought from a few loose cultivators in Ruixuan Town, Then it's simple, we went to Ruixuan Town, and also caught those few loose cultivators, and then asked, which surprised us! ”

Qian Chao has already guessed the ending.

"Those evil weapons actually flowed out of our Five Spirit Sect, and they were refined by people in the sect, you must have guessed that it was the torture who refined this thing!"

"Sure enough."

"Humph! It's a pity that the torture let smell the limelight in advance, and he fled in advance, unable to catch him, so our inner hall hurriedly removed him, which is really embarrassing, so the inner hall has rarely mentioned him, even if you ask, I am still very puzzled, how can you talk about this person, Senior Brother Qian, since you asked him, is there any news about this person recently? ”

"It's true that the torture is mixed with some people who are doing evil in the sect, and we only heard this name by accident, thinking that it was a clue after all, so we came to inquire about the senior brother."

"Hmph, it looks like this guy has been hiding outside, damn it!"

"Senior Brother Liao, I have a question, where did you learn the method of refining evil weapons? We definitely won't have this thing in our inner hall to teach others, so where did he get it? ”

"We were also curious, and we investigated for a long time at that time, but there was no result, and it seems that we can only know if we catch him. Oh, Xu Sheng told me, saying that a few of you are investigating something that involves a guy who is very deep in the sect, I know the rules, don't ask much, but if you really encounter a torture, you must be careful, later we heard that someone has seen him in the cold pool, and the sect has also cleared the cold pool, but there is no punishment among the people killed and captured, this kid has been at large, the evil weapon he refined more than thirty years ago was full of power, and now I don't know what happened, in case it happened, you must be careful. ”

"Yes, thank you Senior Brother Liao, there is one more thing, I have heard the name of Cold Water Pool a few times, why can't I find this place on the map?"

"Hmph, how can that place be marked on the map, well, the cold water pool is not far from the cold spring valley, in the southeast of the cold spring valley, there is a place called tangteng mountain, the cold water pool is at the foot of the tangled vine mountain, it is a very strange place, the spiritual veins there are very chaotic, even if it ...... If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been able to enter at all, not that the other party was very strong, but that the spiritual veins there were chaotic, and the monk was afraid that he would not be able to go far and faint there, and with those seniors opening the way, we swept the outside of the cold pool, but there must have been someone hiding deeper, but at that time, those seniors were also a little unable to support it, so they gave up, so there have been sneaky haunts there over the years, but it is too difficult to completely clean it up! ”

"Spiritual vein chaos? That...... How can those people come and go there? ”

"It is said that someone hid there a long time ago, and I don't know who instructed them how to avoid those chaotic spiritual veins, alas, anyway, those chaotic spiritual veins have become their barriers, saying that they came out to make trouble, they don't have the guts, they are afraid that the toss will be so great that the Five Spirits Sect will spend a lot of money to destroy it, but for so many years, it has always been a place to hide filth and dirt, they don't make a lot of trouble, and the sect will turn a blind eye."

Qian Chao nodded frequently after hearing this, and secretly said that he had always heard the name of this cold pool, and now it seems that he must go there once.

"When you go out, especially the tide of the Cold Spring Valley that is approaching, don't go far, let alone go to the cold pool."

It seemed that he had guessed Qian Chao's intentions, and Senior Brother Liao also gave a special instruction.
