Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Eighty-Six: The Journey to Guarding the Wok Mountain (2)
Qian Chao's figure hung in the air, the expression on his face was flat, his eyes were calm, his two hands were stretched out, constantly changing different techniques, just near his side, the innumerable talismans like snowflakes were hanging quietly, surrounding Qian Chao in the center, almost completely covering his figure from the outside. The wind is cold in the air, Qian Chao's robe is blown to hunt, and the sideburns are also fluttering with the wind, and these light yellow paper talismans are like iron casting without being moved by the wind at all, always maintaining a stable distance from Qian Chao, and all of them are flashing with a slight yellow light, with Qian Chao's hand, there are constantly one or two yellow lights shining lightly flying in front of Qian Chao, and after he looks at it twice, Xu Yu will return to his original position with his hand.
Not only Qian Chao here, near or far away there are a lot of talismans floating, at a glance it is like a flock of birds in the air, if you look at it for a long time, you can find that the talismans around Qian Chao are used to control those clumps of talismans near and far, whenever Qian Chao uses a trick to hook a few talismans around him in front of him, those talismans in clusters near and far will have different movements, or scatter all at once, such as a group of birds foraging, flying up and down; Or they gather into a small group at once, and at the same time, each one glows with a shining yellow light, like a shining Venus rising in the air, and sometimes the whole group of talismans is arranged in a row in the air, like a military drill.
Qian Chao's figure kept moving, and in front of him was the chilling black mist in the Shouwu Mountain, and from time to time, a lightning bolt pierced the darkness in the distance.
The other four companions were scattered around Qian Chao, and they were no longer interested in the strange scenery in the Wok Mountain at this time, but they all looked at the four sides of Qian Chao vigilantly, especially Li Jian, who patrolled back and forth from time to time, and sometimes went to a distance to check or use his own sensing power to search.
After all, this is outside the sect, at the border of the rumored dangerous place to guard the Wok Mountain, no matter from that level, they should be careful.
Today is the fifth day that the five of Qian Chao are here in Wok Mountain.
The past five days have indeed been very boring, since he arrived here, Qian Chao has not stopped using his means to investigate the spiritual veins here, of course, only the spiritual veins outside the Shouwo Mountain, those who enter the Shouwo Mountain or come out of it. In the past five days, he didn't know how many times he had circled around the Shouwo Mountain, and one after another spiritual veins were discovered by him, and then recorded, and then continued, even at night, when his companions were resting, Qian Chao was also carefully drawing the distribution map of the spiritual veins here in Shouwo Mountain under the lamp, or he fell into deep contemplation.
In the past five days, Qian Chao has hardly slept endlessly.
Although he is busy, he has been a little boring for the other four companions in the past few days, but he has said before that how to enter and exit this Shouwo Mountain must listen to Qian Chao, so the four of them can only wait for Qian Chao to find out a clue here and find a safe path to enter Shouwu Mountain.
However, just a few days ago, when Qian Chao was determining the direction of a spiritual vein, he walked along the spiritual vein for a while, and as a result, he actually found a relic under a mountain cliff where the spiritual vein passed, which was also an unexpected joy, after opening it, Lu Pingchuan was overjoyed by the things inside, for him, there is this ruin, this time even if he can't enter the Wok Mountain, it is worth the trip, not only that, Tang Ping also accidentally found two mozuku jade lamps in this ruins, The two lamps promised to Chu Yuan before were settled, but Qian Chao's mind at this time was not on this relic at all, and all his thoughts in the past few days were focused on the distribution of spiritual veins outside the Wok Mountain.
……
Just when Qian Chao and the five of them were busy here in Shouwu Mountain, far away from the place where it was not easy for people to notice, there were two pairs of eyes staring closely at the every move of the five of them.
It is the two daughters of Shangguan Hong and Tian Shuangyu.
After the two women left the sect, there was no delay on the road, and they finally arrived here on the third day.
When they first arrived here, the two of them searched and did not find Qian Chao and others, but in fact, Qian Chao opened a ruin at that time, and several people were counting the harvest there. Tian Shuangyu saw that he couldn't find Qian Chao, so he thought that either they had entered Shouwo Mountain, or the five of them hadn't come here at all, and the rumors spread by Shangguan Hong were useless.
Obviously, Shangguan Hong is much more stable than Tian Shuangyu, she insists that Qian Chao's five people will inevitably come here, it is likely that the two of them are fast, they came early, and they will naturally be able to meet those five people when they wait, she doesn't believe that Tang Ping will ignore this rumor, and secondly, she doesn't believe that they will be reckless and break in directly.
Sure enough, later the two of them found out that Qian Chao and those people appeared here, and watched Qian Chao fly around the Wok Mountain in the air surrounded by countless talismans.
In this regard, Tian Shuangyu was very curious, so he asked:
"What are they doing, what is that money tide doing?"
Shangguan Hong smiled and said:
"In your Tian family, there should be someone who knows the science of spiritual veins, right?"
"You mean......" Tian Shuangyu glanced at Qian Chao carefully, still a little unconvinced, "The study of spiritual veins, he doesn't even have a teacher, how can he understand those advanced knowledge?" ”
"And what do you think he's doing?"
"It's all here, why don't they go in, they have to be there to make a fool of themselves?"
"More than a month ago, my master took our two sisters into this Shou Wok Mountain, Master and his old man have a rough spiritual vein, and he also knows the general direction of the entrance, but after arriving here, he still carefully and carefully searched for it before finally determining the location of the entrance, after all, he had only heard of how to enter before, but really went in, that time was also his first time, don't look at the mountains on all sides It seems that you can go in, but if you don't know the reality inside, I'm afraid that if I rush in, I won't be able to take two steps and put myself in a desperate situation......"
"Is it really that dangerous inside?" Tian Shuangyu was still a little unconvinced.
"Of course, this is a dangerous place for the disciples of the Five Spirits Qi Refining that should not come, although my master does not put the demon beasts inside in his eyes, but he is extremely careful inside, and tells our sisters that they must not run around, and must follow him step by step, in his words, the demon beasts in there are not powerful, the real power is that place, where the spiritual veins are vertical and horizontal, he may be fine, but if the two of us sisters go wrong, even if they don't die, they will be in great trouble, you see what Qian Chao is doing now, It must be to find out the direction of the spiritual vein in the periphery first, and then, it is to find a way in, we have been watching him toss for two days, and it is estimated that it will be soon. ”
"That Tang Ping also has a master, and her master is still your uncle, chasing a precious spirit bird egg, why didn't she let her master help, and she had to come here to risk herself?"
"Well...... My uncle is different from my master, my master has very few disciples, even if our sister has only two disciples, and Tang Ping's master is different, there are many disciples, so many years, some disciples are very promising, and they have made a lot of fame, but there are also disciples who have fallen outside, my master's statement is that her disciples, but all of them who she interfered too much and cared for were almost all killed outside, and those she let go of were all promising, maybe it was because of this reason, I heard that most of Tang Ping's affairs were done by himself, and he rarely let his master interfere. ”
"And such a thing!" Tian Shuangyu couldn't help but say when he heard it.
"Also, don't underestimate that Tang Ping, her identity can be regarded as a gentleman in the Five Spirits Sect, but I have never heard of any ridiculous things in the sect, the reason why she chose Qian Chao is a few people by her side, well, this little junior sister of mine has no small ambitions."
After Tian Shuangyu listened, he re-cast his eyes on the figure wrapped in a talisman in the air in the distance, the two of them didn't know how long Qian Chao and the others had arrived, and it was impossible to go over to inquire, but in the past two days, Qian Chao has been doing the same thing, that is, around this Wok Mountain, this circle is not a short distance, but Qian Chao's kid has always seemed unhurried and extremely meticulous, in Tian Shuangyu's opinion, this is an extremely boring thing, but ...... It's been two days, and I saw that the people around Qian Chao, including that Tang Ping, have been quietly guarding his side, without any impatience.
It seems that his understanding of Qian Chao and his companions is still a lot more superficial, Tian Shuangyu said secretly in his heart.
Shangguan Hong looked at Tian Shuangyu and suddenly smiled, and said:
"You hit Qian Chao with your mind and wanted him to bow down to you, in my opinion, um...... I'm a man who doesn't beat around the bush and doesn't like it...... Your chances of success are actually not very good. ”
Hearing this, Tian Shuangyu retracted his gaze, turned his face to look at Shangguan Hong beside him, and asked:
"Oh, why?"
"Qian Chao, I didn't care about him at first, I just thought that he was like an ordinary disciple, because he was greedy for Tang Ping's background and followed her every inch, he was just a lewd character like a little follower, so when I started to see Qian Chao, I was very disdainful of him. But what...... His tactics really made me look away. Also, if you come to the Five Spirits Sect earlier, if you can catch up with the tide of Cold Spring Valley, your opinion of him will completely change, I see that you are still a little unconvinced by the defeat in the hands of Qian Chao, although I have not seen you do it with him, but in my opinion, you will not lose at all, if you see Qian Chao's methods in the cold spring valley tide, it is estimated that you will not do anything with him. When he was in Cold Spring Valley, he also did me a small favor, and even said that when the tide was in Cold Spring Valley, the sect valued that a woman named Yanshuang could be safe and sound, and at least half of the credit should be attributed to Qian Chao's head, and then I thought that Tang Ping and him were always together, maybe it was not Qian Chao who was attracted by Tang Ping, but on the contrary, Tang Ping admired Qian Chao very much, so they were always together. ”
"So, all the rumors I've heard about the Great Tide in the Cold Spring Valley are true?" Tian Shuangyu asked.
"Listen to it and find the similarities, rumors, there are always exaggerations and untruths, weed them out, and the rest is almost true. Also, if you can't hand Qian Chao all the time, and you don't kill him, what should you do? ”
Tian Shuangyu hadn't seriously considered this problem, in her opinion, the chance of this kind of situation happening was not very good, if that Qian Chao had not been able to move her, then she would be like her nephew Tian Du, and she would do her best to calculate him until she got rid of him. This is also the reason why she and Shangguan Hong can cooperate, seeing that Tang Ping and Qian Chao are often together, no matter whether there is a personal relationship between the two, Tang Ping is a stumbling block for Tian Shuangyu, and it must be removed, and then she can further arrange Qian Chao, and Shangguan Hong is also deeply hostile to Tang Ping, so the two hit it off after meeting, if they can do it this time, maybe Tang Ping will die in this Wok Mountain, which is good news for Tian Shuangyu.
Of course, if those five people all die inside, Tian Shuangyu doesn't care, after all, she asked Qian Chao to surrender for the Tian family, and if Qian Chao dies, it will also be beneficial to the Tian family, in short, Qian Chao will either bow down to her orders or die, there is no third choice.
"I really haven't thought about it, if I can't get him to surrender to me, then I can only deal with him with all my might, maybe it's easier to let him die."
"Alas, if you want me to say that you are really uncomfortable living, all kinds of considerations, all kinds of calculations, all for your own family, even your lifelong Taoist companion has to take this as the purpose, it's really ...... In my opinion, no matter how good the family is, it is better to be at ease, even if you can build the Tian family into a world-famous family, what can you do? It's a bit far to say this, I'm not speaking for the Five Spirits Sect, but in my opinion, maybe your Tian family is strong, and it has been accumulated through many generations in secret, but you know very little about the strength of the Five Spirits Sect, it can become one of the six sects in the world, and it can compete with a big sect like Mu Yangzong, do you think your Tian family can really compete with it? If you want me to say, you came to the Five Spirits Sect, in fact, it is an opportunity, why don't you really stay here, and become a world-famous female monk in the future is not much better than dealing with the messy trivial matters of the Tian family every day? ”
"Easy ......" Tian Shuangyu listened to Shangguan Hong's words and smiled bitterly, "You don't have the burden of the family, I'm not the same, I was born in the Tian family, and since I was a child, I have been fighting with my brothers and sisters around me and the elders and juniors of the same age, this Tian family is what I value the most, and one day becoming the head of the Tian family is my wish since I was a child, for this reason, I am willing to do my best, in fact, this is actually similar to practice, anyway, they are all fighting for it." ”
Shangguan Hong smiled when he heard this:
"Fortunately, my Shangguan family does not have the rule that a woman can be the head of the family, otherwise I would probably fall into a trap like you."
Tian Shuangyu obviously didn't want to continue the topic, so he said:
"You said that guarding Wok Mountain was a bureau arranged by others to harm you, so ...... Will those who want to harm you be inside? ”
"Of course," Shangguan Hong smiled, "They always have to watch me die with their own eyes, and then they can feel at ease, wait and see, and when they go in, maybe they will meet you, maybe there are people you know!" ”
