One night a few days later, outside the sect, in the hiding place of Shang Jie and others.

At this time, in addition to Shang Jie and his partner, there were also Tang Ping, Yan Xuan and Lu Pingchuan, and Qian Chao and Li Jian were not here, of course, it was not that the two of them did not come out together this time, but Qian Chao and Li Jian went to the cold pool to arrange the formation together.

Just a few days ago, a companion surnamed Zhang returned from outside the sect to find Qian Chao, and told him that two people had been in the cold water pool for a long time that day, and it seemed that they were looking for an entrance to the cold water pool. When Qian Chao heard this Senior Brother Zhang describe that one of the two people was a rare beautiful man, and the other was very thin, he immediately realized who they were, and then he took out two portraits and asked the Senior Brother Zhang to identify, but Senior Brother Zhang said that it was these two people at a glance.

The beautiful man is Hua Cheng from Meng Cailou, and the very thin guy is Jiang Zhuopu from the Lion Forest.

After sending away that Senior Brother Zhang, Qian Chao immediately went to Tang Ping and told her about the matter, and she went to explain the matter to Elder Tang, asking him to show him what to do in case it involved those monks from other sects next, and at the same time decided to complete the formation that could seal the cold water pool as soon as possible.

And that's what they're here for tonight.

Even at night, it is easy to be noticed when there are many people, and Li Jian's sensing power is quite relied on by Qian Chao, so only the two of them went to arrange the formation this time, leaving the other three.

I don't know how long it took, the eastern sky was faintly white, and when the outline of the mountain could already be seen in the distance at sunrise, Qian Chao and Li Jian finally rushed back by the only remaining darkness before dawn.

"Why have you been going for so long, all night, Brother Lu has been thinking about looking for you several times." As soon as he saw Qian Chao returning, Tang Ping complained.

"The cold pool is a big place, there is more than one passage to enter, some are easy to find, some are very hidden, Brother Li and I have a hard time finding it, and we have to arrange the formation one by one, so I only come back now, but fortunately, all the passages into the cold pool have been arranged now."

"Was there any movement that night, I mean ...... inside," Yan Xuan asked next to him.

"No, it's quiet inside, it should be very deep down there, Brother Li has sensed it, and he can't detect any movement inside."

"Alas, it would be nice if I could just go in and catch that kid Wen Liang." Lu Pingchuan said on the side.

"That's all right, but it's not as good as using him as bait."

Qian Chao said as he took out a talisman from his body and handed it to Shang Jie.

"Senior Brother Shang, this is for you, I'll tell you how to use this thing in a while, and then I'll trouble Senior Brother Shang to continue to stare here for a few days, well, I estimate that before the Chengguan En test, someone will be impatient to enter the cold water pool, and then as long as he or they go in, you just use this talisman, and then return to the sect, after this talisman is activated, the formation I arranged in the cold water pool will be activated at the same time to seal the cold water pool, not to mention people, even small insects can't get out, and then we can catch turtles in the urn. ”

"Why before the Cheng Guan Eun test?" Yan Xuan asked.

"That hundred-year dedication is carried out immediately after the Chengguan Grace Test, I heard Tang Yatou say that the Chengguan Grace Test is the most lively thing in the sect, and almost all the seniors and disciples in the sect will go to see it, even if they don't compete on stage, they will go to see a lively one, that is to say, that time is the time when there are the least people outside the sect, and presumably that time is also the safest time for those people."

商介 says:

"Well, don't worry, we've got it!"

……

After staying outside for a few days, the five of them came to Ruixuan Town again.

In addition to going to see Mr. Zhuang as usual, Qian Chao also unexpectedly met Zuo You from Liu Feng.

And this time Zuo You actually got another injury, his body was almost wrapped with fine linen, and he was half lying on the bed with a somewhat pale face.

"I said, Brother Zuo, what's wrong with you? Who beat you like this? Lu Pingchuan asked in surprise as soon as he entered the room.

"The one who hurt Brother Zuo must be the guy named Yan Ding, right?" Qian Chao said on the side.

Zuo You nodded a little weakly and said:

"Yes, when that kid left, I happened to see him in Ruixuan Town, so I followed him all the way, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got out of Ruixuan Town, that guy found me, and then I chased him outside and ran away for several days, and then he found that he couldn't get rid of me and I was just alone, so he led me to a remote place to do it, alas, I miscalculated and miscalculated that I didn't expect Yan Ding to be so piercing, when confronted, that guy didn't hide his identity, And asked me what I have to do with you, I think he also expected that I could recognize him must have the help of the Five Spirits Sect, that kid also said that if there is a next time, I will definitely not recognize him, the next thing is to do it, everyone, I have been in the cultivation world for so long, and it is the first time I have met such a vicious character, although I also hurt him, but I must say that my injuries are worse than his, but I can pretend to be better than him, so that he mistakenly thinks that I still have strength, so I have to escape, And I can't chase anymore, thinking about it, the safest place to recuperate is only Brother Liu, so I have to come back and continue to make trouble for Brother Liu. ”

Liu Feng said on the side:

"Alas, this Zuo brother, he left in a hurry, and then when he came back a few days later, his face was colorless, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet, and he fell into my shop at once, well, this is the second time, and it really scared me at the time."

Qian Chao thought of the situation when Chu Yuan talked about Yan Ding's action in the cold water pool, so he asked:

"Isn't Yan Ding's five long needles very powerful?"

Zuo You looked at Qian Chao a little strangely and said:

"How do you know everything, were you peeking around at the time?"

Then Zuo You fumbled and took out something from his storage bag, which was a long bone-white needle, about half a foot long, and handed it to Qian Chao.

"Ah, this is the spiritual weapon used by Yan Ding, there are five in total, this thing is unguardable, I was deeply affected by it, and then I was injured and destroyed by me, and grabbed one, these days to recuperate, I take it out from time to time to see, this kind of long needle is not smelted by some ore and iron essence, I look like it is made of the bones of some demon beast."

Qian Chao was looking at the long needle in his hand and couldn't see why he was asked by Tang Ping to take a closer look, so he said to Zuo You:

"Brother Zuo, can you lend me this thing for a few days?"

"Borrow anything, it's useless for me to keep this thing, if you use it, I'll give it to you."

It is worth mentioning here that Zuo You said a sentence "That kid said that if there is a next time, I will definitely not recognize him", Qian Chao only thought that Yan Ding would have some means of disguise and illusion, so he didn't care, but in the future, when Qian Chao and the five people stepped out of the sect and walked outside, when they met this Yan Ding again, not only did they not recognize each other, but they were recognized by the other party at a glance, and then they designed a trap step by step to lure the five of them into the trap little by little, almost facing a desperate situation, of course, This is also a matter of not mentioning it for the time being, and this Yan Ding will not appear again for the time being.

Money tide says:

"Brother Liu, Brother Zuo, while the two of you are here, I just have something I want to ask here."

"If there's anything, just ask." Zuo You said.

Liu Feng had already learned from Bu Yanqi what Qian Chao wanted him to help inquire, so he knew what Qian Chao wanted to ask, so he said:

"Brother Bu has already come to me, I do have some eyes and ears in other sects, and the news has been spread, but I will have to wait a while longer to receive a reply, well, I can tell Brother Qian what I know now."

"Thank you very much."

"When Brother Bu came, he brought the portraits and lists of Brother Qian, to be honest, most of them are very unfamiliar to me, this is normal, even if the strength of those four sects is not as good as the Five Spirit Sect, but in our eyes it is still a big sect that cannot be climbed, and even if the people on the list are not yet in the climate, they are all people with backgrounds in the sect, I haven't heard of it, it's normal, but there is one of them, maybe I've heard of it before......"

"Which one?"

"Meng Cailou has a surname He."

"He Si Nu?"

"Hehe, to be honest, I'm not sure if the He Gongzi I heard about at the time is the He Si slave in your Five Spirits Sect now, that is also what I heard in front of the elders many years ago, a small family like ours sometimes walks around in order to make a living, and goes to the territory of other sects, so I hear and see more. That year, I heard from an elder of the Liu family who came back from outside that there was an incident within the boundaries of Meng Cailou, saying that there was a daughter of a small family who disappeared inexplicably, and it is said that the appearance of the missing woman is stunning, and she also has a marriage contract with other families, and she can become a Taoist couple just by building a foundation. After losing his daughter, the little family searched for a long time and spent a lot of spirit stones but could not find it, and finally had to give up, and then this small family grew bigger little by little, and developed the scale of their own family into a medium-sized family for more than ten years, and then for the practice of children and nephews, the head of the family took a few children to Meng Cailou, and wanted to send a few children there to practice, but in Meng Cailou, the owner of the family accidentally found out that he had lost his daughter for more than ten years......"

Hearing this, Yan Xuan said:

"Is that woman accepted as a disciple by Meng Cailou?"

Li Jian shook his head and said:

"If that woman is accepted as Meng Cailou's disciple, there is no need to hide it from her family at all."

左佑 says:

"I'm afraid that I was kidnapped and sold as a maidservant, and I have been serving a certain alcohol-addicted gentleman in Meng Cailou for more than ten years, right?"

Liu Feng nodded and said:

"Yes, at least that's the case in the incident I heard, according to the woman crying to her father, she was taken directly into Meng Cailou after she was kidnapped, and then she served a He Gongzi with a deep background in Meng Cailou, but what the name of that He Gongzi was, it was not mentioned, so I am not sure that the He slave in the Five Spirits Sect and the He Gongzi I heard about are the same person."

陆平川 says:

"How come there are still teeth in the cultivation world that do this abduction?"

Liu Feng smiled:

"Why not, not only there are, but there are a lot of them, population loss also happens from time to time, and the object of their attack is not only the woman with outstanding appearance, but even the man is caught by them, as long as it is profitable, they will find ways to tie it up and sell it."

Zuo You said:

"Yes, what's it called, by the way, human puppets, sword slaves, maids, except for maids who must be women, the rest of the puppets and sword slaves, both men and women."

Qian Chao asked:

"I can understand the maid, what is this puppet and sword slave?"

Liu Feng turned his head to look at Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan, and said:

"Two brothers, one of you is a physical cultivator, the other is a sword cultivator, this puppet is a physical cultivator whose mind is controlled, and a sword slave is a sword cultivator whose mind is controlled."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Brother Liu, please tell me in detail."

"Well, there are really a lot of ways to harm people in this cultivation world, it is said that those who specialize in such evil things as abducting people have a harmful medicine in their hands, and after giving it to people, they can make people obey, and this is also the means by which they do things without leaving a trace, because even if they are seen, the person who is abducted will obediently follow him, and he will not resist at all, so he will not arouse suspicion. After the sword slave and the human puppet are in their hands, they will be poured a more domineering drug again, and then they will be supplemented by other means...... Those are not something that can be known below, in short, after all this is completed, the abducted body cultivation or sword cultivation will absolutely obey that person's orders, and will continue to practice according to the mental method he cultivated before, but at this time he is a completely obedient fool, if someone asks him to kill someone, he will kill someone, and if someone asks him to commit suicide, he will not hesitate to do it to himself, not to mention that when that person is in danger, they will completely ignore their own lives to protect it. And the reason why physical cultivation and sword cultivation are chosen as the target is precisely because these two kinds of monks are extremely difficult to deal with among monks of the same level, and of course it is not easy to abduct them, therefore, it is said that the price of human puppets and sword slaves is also extremely expensive, well, generally only some big families can afford it, and those big families, some of them just like to secretly raise such human puppets and sword slaves, and the number is generally not small, so that they can either act as guards or do some shady things...... In addition, don't just think that this kind of thing can only happen to sword cultivators and body cultivators who refine qi, I heard that even those who build a foundation have been conspired against by them. ”

Li Jian asked:

"We all know that sword cultivation and body cultivation are difficult to deal with, so how can they succeed?"

Zuo You replied:

"Brother Li, the most sinister thing is the ...... of people's hearts"

liufeng says:

"Yes, we all know that sword cultivation and physical cultivation are difficult to deal with, but not everything has to be solved by force, what Brother Zuo said is true, the most sinister thing is the human heart, if someone humbly approaches a powerful physical cultivation or sword cultivation, try to gain that person's trust, and then either take advantage of his unpreparedness, or do something in the middle of wine and food, it is impossible to prevent it."

Hearing this, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan nodded silently.

After a pause, Liu Feng continued:

"As for the maid, it's even more pitiful, don't think that the maid's choice only depends on whether the woman's appearance is outstanding, in addition to the posture, it is said that the better the spiritual root qualification, the more expensive the woman will be, alas, the maid is not only used as a plaything for those guys, but also as a furnace for replenishment, and the final outcome can be imagined."

Hearing this, Yan Xuan remembered what Liu Feng said just now, and asked:

"Brother Liu, what happened to the daughter of the family who was abducted into Meng Cailou you just said?"

"Alas, it's embarrassing, the head of the family tossed around in Meng Cailou for a long time before he found that He Gongzi, and then that He Gongzi insisted that the woman was bought from outside, or spent a lot of spirit stones, in desperation, the head of the family had to take out a large amount of spirit stones to redeem his daughter home, poor that woman, after this torture almost became a waste! Well, also, listening to my elder, that He Gongzi actually specializes in this kind of business, and his subordinates have raised a group of villains to do things for him, and those outstanding men and women in large and small families have been seen and obtained by them, and they have never seen them again. Oh, by the way, this time I also sent someone to inquire about this family in Meng Cailou, just to ask the name of that He Gongzi, if it can match the surname He in your sect......"

Lu Pingchuan glared and said:

"Then Lao Tzu will kill him!"

Yan Xuan still didn't understand a little, and said:

"They are all very sloppy, they don't lack anything, why do they want to do such a hurtful thing?"

liufeng says:

"Miss Yan, everyone has greed, but if you can't control it, that greed will become a bottomless deep hole, which is not satisfied, they don't lack anything, let alone spirit stones, but who would think that they have more spirit stones? Who would think that the woman who serves them is too beautiful and delicate? And if such a fool does evil, there is no shortage of helpers, and it will also allow them to do what they want and cause disaster! ”

Zuo You also says:

"Yes, there are many children of the great family who died at my hands, speaking of which, those people are all greedy and evil-doers, and there are some villains who act for the tiger around them, if it weren't for this greed, they wouldn't have been ghosts under my hands!"

……

The words that Liu Feng and Zuo You said had a big impact on Yan Xuan, who had always been relatively simple, and on the way back to the Five Spirits Sect, Yan Xuan flew to think, and finally couldn't help but ask Tang Ping:

"Ah Ping, the guy surnamed He from Meng Cailou really will be the one who does all kinds of evil?"

Lu Pingchuan listened to it and said first:

"I think it's almost the same, that kid doesn't look like a good thing when he gets off the boat, he looks black and doesn't slip away, and he looks unlucky that everyone owes him a sum of money, and at first glance he is a guy who owes a beating, hum, if it's really him, I'll go on stage and kill him directly on stage!"

唐萍 says:

"In my opinion, there is more than one He Si slave, and those who come are not simple."

Qian Chao interjected beside him:

"Don't just look at those people, there are such people in Meng Cailou, so why don't they exist in our sect?"

"What did you find?" Tang Ping asked.

"Do you remember a few places we found where Wen Liang refined jade pills?"

"Of course I do...... Yes...... You mean......"

"That's right, even if Wen Liang can stir up the wind and rain behind his back, but every time he refines a jade pill, he has to take the life of a monk, those corpses we have seen must not be all, think about how many people he has recruited, to make those people die for him, how many such jade pills does he need, do you think he can bring in so many people from the cultivation world alone? Even if he had this ability, how could he take care of both inside and outside the sect? And most importantly, even if he had the means to kidnap some monks in the cultivation world, how did he bring so many people in? I think there must be someone behind Wen Liang who is helping him, this person must also be in the Five Spirits Sect, and this person should also be very skillful, maybe the reason why Lin Jian knew that Wen Liang would attack Yan Shuang when the tide of Cold Spring Valley was that person told Lin Jian. ”

Qian Chao's words made several companions put their minds back to the discoveries they made when they dealt with Wen Liang in the past, and after thinking about it, what Qian Chao said was really reasonable.

"Of course, what we have to worry more about is this," Qian Chao continued, "those people from outside the sect have joined forces with the guys in the sect whose identities we don't know yet!" ”

Flying while talking like this, I don't know how long it took, Yan Xuan suddenly said:

"Eh, that seems to be Senior Sister Mei."

A few people followed Yan Xuan's gaze, and sure enough, a few figures in the distance seemed to be flying all the way in the direction of Ruixuan Town, the distance was really not close, and it was a somewhat vague figure that could clearly lead the way in the front, it seemed to be the woman named Mei Qing in Qixia Mountain, and there were several people behind her.

"Senior Sister Mei, what are you going to do?" Tang Ping asked.

"I don't know, Senior Sister Mei doesn't come out much, I guess there's something." Yan Xuan said.

And Mei Qing's side didn't seem to find the five of them, so he didn't stop and didn't have the intention of talking to them, so after taking a look, the five of them continued to rush to the sect.

However, after flying for a while, Li Jian saw that he saw a swaying figure in the air at a glance, and Li Jian understood that if the monk was not injured, it would be impossible for him to do so.

"Brother Qian, look at ......," Li Jian reminded.

"Yes...... It's Senior Brother Cheng! Qian Chao recognized at a glance that the somewhat unstable figure in the distance was Jiuxuan's Cheng Qiantang.

Senior Brother Cheng, what's wrong, is it injured?

Qian Chao immediately accelerated and flew over, and shouted before he could fly closer:

"Senior Brother Cheng!"

It is Cheng Qiantang, and it is Cheng Qiantang, who is seriously injured and covered in blood!

Cheng Qiantang, who was on the verge of collapse and staggering, heard someone calling him, turned his head to look, and vaguely saw that it was Qian Chao who flew near, and he suddenly fell unconscious, Li Jian's body was the fastest, and he rushed over to catch him before he fell to the ground.

Cheng Qiantang suddenly woke up again, his pale hands were covered with blood, he grabbed Qian Chao's sleeve and stared at Qian Chao intermittently;

"Senior Brother Qian...... Fast...... Just go...... Save her ......"

"What!"

As if to let out a final roar, Cheng Qiantang hissed:

"Hurry up and save Mei Qing!"

Then he was completely unconscious!
