"I've scattered all the people I can, but I haven't been able to find the conjoined monster that Mr. said."

In the backyard of Yuelai Inn, Liu Qingyuan was carrying a teapot and was bowing his head to carefully pour the freshly brewed tea into the cup.

Opposite her, Wei Tao sat cross-legged, his eyes half-open and half-closed, "If you can't find it, forget it, maybe you can only wait for that thing to jump out on its own, and then there will be new clues." ”

"If it doesn't keep it hidden, it won't be easy for us to find it, even if we send ten times as many people."

Liu Qingyuan said, "However, it is difficult to hide this matter, so according to the usual practice, the subordinates have already reported the situation related to Moxianglou and the remnants of the Qinglian Demon Sect."

If the department pays attention to it, there should be a special person to come and deal with it. ”

Wei Tao took a sip of the tea he had just poured, and nodded slowly, "Then that's it, I'm going back to the Taoist Temple now, you should be careful here, and always pay attention to safety." ”

Coming out of the narrow alley, he looked up at the bright sunshine, and the bustling crowd around him suddenly gave birth to a feeling of being in a different world.

It was as if last night's battle was just a dream.

Now that I wake up, I'm back in the real world.

Only the box full of Xuan Xuan Pill in his arms, and other other things brought out of the underground space of that courtyard, had been proving to him that everything was true.

Returning to Qingfeng Temple, Wei Tao went directly into the Green Bamboo Garden.

After giving an order not to disturb the others, he closed himself in the practice room and unfolded two completely different paintings in front of him.

One is a visualization catalogue of the Void Seal.

The other is a distorted and densely lined crescent moon washing catalogue.

The two scrolls complement each other, as if they come to life at the same time.

On one side are the ever-changing seals.

On the other side are twisted lines that dance wildly.

Detached from the scroll, it quickly filled the entire field of vision.

occupies almost all of his consciousness.

It was as if he had forgotten the passage of time.

just sat cross-legged and didn't move, looking at the two picture scrolls spread out in front of him in a daze, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his heart was bloodshot.

The center of the eyebrows is a little red and bulges outward.

There seems to be something inside, like a chick about to hatch, ready to break out of its shell and come into this world.

I don't know how long later, Wei Tao suddenly came back to his senses.

"How long have I been sitting here?"

He exhaled slowly, a cloudy breath that first manifested the status bar into the void.

Quickly find the interface of the Void Seal.

Keep your eyes peeled for it.

Name: Void Seal.

Progress: 100 percent.

Realm: The First Realm of the Void Spirit.

Status: Peaking.

Description: After integrating into the new cultivation method, this practice has evolved and improved.

"Whether or not to consume one, the gold coin will improve the progress of the cultivation of the Void Spirit Seal."

Wei Tao pondered in silence for a moment, looking at the remaining nine gold coins.

Directly selected Yes.

And put this gold coin into the Void Spirit Primal Realm.

Swish!

The status bar is blurred, and the number of gold coins is reduced by one.

A mysterious aura began to infuse the body.

The blush in the center of the eyebrows became more and more vivid, and it looked like a piece of cinnabar was dotted on it.

Underneath the skin, the blood net became more condensed, and the qi and blood surged in the nodes that intersected everywhere, and a faint cool breath escaped from it.

When the change was over, Wei Tao didn't stop, and continued to stack the gold coins towards the Void Guardian Spirit Seal in one go.

In the dark practice room, the body is nourished with various precious medicinal materials and pills, until this exercise is pushed to the point where there is no progress in one breath.

Finally, everything calmed down.

He slowly opened his eyes and silently surveyed everything around him.

In an instant, the void shone brightly, as if two stars were shining in the darkness.

Everything he wants to see.

After a moment, Wei Tao turned inward.

The veins, blood networks, acupoints, and nodes in the body are displayed in the mind one by one.

It's like immersing yourself in a complex and exquisite picture.

The status bar silently emerges into the void.

The description of the Void Seal has also come to the final end.

Name: Void Seal.

Progress: 150%.

Realm: The End of the Ethereal Realm.

Status: Broken Final.

Description: After integrating into the new cultivation method, this practice has greatly evolved and improved.

Wei Tao closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

Although there are still two gold coins left.

But now, except for the Demon Elephant Xuangong and the Five Directions Floating Slaughter, all the other exercises that can be improved have reached the end of the inadvancible.

He turned on his inner vision again.

Carefully observe the main veins of qi and blood that are slowly moving.

The two arms pass through the shoulders, which is the qi and blood circulation of the red line boxing and red practice.

The legs pass through the waist and hips, which is the main vein of the circulation of the lotus step by step through the mountain legs.

Then there is the Blood Moon Double Evil Gong, which runs through the two middle lines of the two veins of Rendu in the front chest and back, which is regarded as the third and fourth qi and blood circulation veins.

The fifth is that the eyebrows and souls are a little red, and they can faintly perceive the subtle connection with other qi and blood circulation veins.

"The four main veins circulate separately, and the eyebrows and souls are connected to their qi, which is the five turns of qi and blood."

Wei Tao fell into deep thought, "According to the plan set before, the next step to do is also the most difficult and dangerous step.

With the eyebrows and souls as the core, the four main veins are completely opened, and the internal circulation of each one becomes the whole body of the Great Zhoutian. ”

He already had a vague idea of how to do it.

However, more in-depth thinking, deduction, and verification are needed before we can truly take the final step of implementation.

Push open the heavy iron door of the practice room.

Wei Tao was surprised to find that it was a dark and silent rainy night outside.

He slowly stretched his body, endured the torture of laughter that would ring in his ears from time to time, slowly went up to the balcony on the second floor, sat peacefully in the rain with a pot of tea, and quietly enjoyed a leisurely time after a dark day of penance.

A light rain fell all night.

It didn't stop completely until dawn.

For the first time, Wei Tao stepped out of the gate of the Green Bamboo Garden and walked along the route of the scenic tour.

The view of the breeze in the summer rain is like an ink painting scroll slowly opening in front of it.

Pavilions and flowers.

The small bridge flows and the winding path leads to the secluded.

Coupled with the magnificent and majestic halls, all of them reveal beautiful scenery.

At lunchtime, Li Kun personally arranged a sumptuous banquet, but he had been chewing the medicinal pills for a long time, and he had a good appetite.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Li Kun glanced at Wei Tao, who seemed to have a significant change, lowered his head and took the teacup and drank it slowly, "The matter of the Moxianglou rebellion mentioned by Senior Brother Wei before the retreat and healing, Shanmen has already given a clear reply. ”

"Oh?"

Wei Tao swallowed the food in his mouth, "What did you say over there?" ”

Li Kun sighed low and said, "Elder Lan and Elder will personally lead people down the mountain to investigate this matter, it seems that the mountain gate also smells the smell of wind and rain." ”

After a moment of silence, he continued, "In addition, it seems that the imperial court has also sent a noble person to Luoshui City, who is also here specifically for the matter of Moxianglou. ”

"A nobleman of the imperial court?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, "It's normal for the imperial court to send people down, but the word noble is not a title that ordinary officials can afford." ”

Li Kun smiled faintly, "Senior Brother Wei is right, his identity is indeed valuable, and it is said that he is still a relative of the emperor." ”

"Wait until I ask someone to inquire about the news, after all, when the other party arrives here, he will definitely find his junior brother to inquire about the situation.

If you can know who that person is and what kind of personality preferences you have, it will be easier to deal with it at that time. ”

Wei Tao nodded, and at the same time picked up the teacup, "Then trouble Senior Brother Li, replace wine with tea, Senior Brother will toast you with a cup." ”

…………………………

The rain seemed to be endless.

The whole world was shrouded in a haze.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove out of the Breeze Temple.

Head in the direction of Luoshui City.

It was Gan Liang who drove the car.

There is also Ou Yinglian on the side.

All the affairs of the gold market are on the right track.

The person sent by the Taoist temple to take over is also in place.

The two of them hurried back, fearing that if they were too late, they would be left there again, drowning in endless miscellaneous matters every day.

In the carriage, Wei Tao closed his eyes and recuperated.

Stretch out a finger and touch your eyebrows from time to time.

The fingertips were slightly opposite to the little red, and there was a slight itch like electricity.

Before I knew it, an ethereal and illusory laugh sounded.

The sound of the rain outside was drowned out and echoed in my ears.

He slowly opened his eyes and sighed lowly.

The eye sockets are covered with scarlet bloodshots, and the existence of dark circles is clearly visible underneath, and it looks like it has been a long time since I have been able to rest.

"Laughing during the day, laughing at night, almost endlessly."

Wei Tao took a sip of the still warm tea, and his expression looked a little depressed.

He really couldn't understand what kind of mentality Liu Qingyuan had, and he could be accompanied by this kind of voice all the time, not only did he fall into a mental breakdown, but he was even a little willing.

If she can cultivate to the realm of perfection of cultivation, the integration of internal and external elements, and the endless life, after pushing open the door of Xuangan, wouldn't it be smooth all the way, and she can be called the chosen son?

"My lord, I'm here."

Suddenly, Gan Liang's old and hoarse voice sounded.

Wei Tao lifted the side curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

Wu Yin leaned closer and said, "My lord, my subordinates are following that woman named Xiaolian, and she has been to these places mainly in addition to staying at home these days......

"You start from the beginning, louder."

The sound of illusory laughter in his ears disturbed, and Wei Tao sighed helplessly, "I can't hear what you're saying at all." ”

Wu Yin was slightly stunned, and immediately amplified the volume.

Later, he was almost talking in Wei Tao's ear.

Wei Tao fell into deep thought after hearing this, "You mean, in addition to her own martial arts medical hall, she has only been to some shops that sell rouge gouache and tastes street snacks?" ”

Wu Yin nodded, "Yes, all the people she talked to under her subordinates who have observed her, except for the Martial Arts Medical Hall, are almost all ordinary people, and none of them have the strength to achieve qi and blood transformation or above." ”

"It's kind of weird."

Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and closed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that I felt wrong last time?" ”

"I shouldn't be wrong, after all, I watched her whole meal for a while, and it wasn't a glimpse of it."

Wu Yin didn't dare to disturb his thoughts.

He followed the carriage and waited quietly.

Until Wei Tao came back to his senses from his contemplation.

Wu Yincai continued, "There is another situation, and the subordinates think that it is necessary to report it to the adults.

That is, among the crowd that Xiaolian came into contact with, there was an old man who was hunched over and seemed a little strange. ”

"Huh!?"

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes sharply, "What kind of old man is that?" ”

"It's an old woman with a very serious hunchback."

Wu Yin thought about it and said slowly, "She was wearing a black robe that was a little dirty, and her back was bulging high, holding everyone down.

Just yesterday, the little lotus girl went out to eat and met this old man on the street, and the two talked about three or five words.

Because of the distance, the subordinates didn't know what they were talking about. ”

"The old man sweeping the floor, the hunchbacked woman......"

Wei Tao's heart moved, and his expression instantly sank, "Did they find out that you didn't?" ”

"Probably not."

Seeing the boss's reaction like this, Wu Yin was suddenly a little nervous.

He thought about it carefully, but still shook his head, "Because the adults have instructed their subordinates not to get too close, every time I secretly observe, I am far away from that little lotus girl."

And they usually use the surrounding crowd as a cover, and they left after saying a few words at that time, so they should not have found the existence of their subordinates. ”

"You did a good job, the information was transmitted in a timely manner, I will go to see the emperor's relatives in the near future, with the information you have discovered, I have a little more confidence to come up with."

Wei Tao pulled the side curtain of the carriage completely open and stretched out an arm.

Wu Yin was immediately flattered, and took the initiative to bow forward, letting the deacon gently pat him on the shoulder.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, "Xiaolian, you don't want to go there, there may be danger."

If you let Liu Qingyuan's people do such a thing, they should be more professional. ”

The wheels slowly moved forward, leaving two long marks on the official dirt road.

From time to time, you can still hear shouts from the riverbank, and the laborers are working hard to earn enough money for themselves and their families.

"Gan Lao, slow down."

Wei Tao closed the curtains, took advantage of the silence of laughter, and hurried to sleep, making up for the internal friction of the spirit these days.

Gan Liang immediately tightened the reins and controlled the speed of the carriage.

It's not a little faster than the average person walking.

Little by little, time passed.

Wei Tao woke up from his sleep and felt that this sleep was extremely sweet.

Even the mental fatigue has recovered a lot because of this.

When he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that the sky outside had darkened.

The fine rain slammed on the roof of the carriage, making a rustling sound.

"What time is it?"

He asked, his voice inexplicably hoarse and dry.

"I saw that my husband slept soundly, so I didn't let them disturb me."

Liu Qingyuan's voice sounded slowly, "It's just night, and Mr. has slept for almost four hours. ”

"Prepare something to eat, I'm a little hungry."

Wei Tao got out of the car, only to find that the carriage was parked in the backyard of the Yuelai Inn, and the horses pulling the carriage had also been taken away and sent to the stable to feed and rest.

Liu Qingyuan said with a smile, "I have prepared a table of noodles, and I am waiting for Mr. to come and taste it after he wakes up." ”

A quarter of an hour later.

Wei Tao sat down at the table and began to eliminate the various dishes that were full of dishes.

Liu Qingyuan was on the side, pouring wine and cloth dishes, while whispering softly.

"Elder Lan of Yuanyi, although his subordinates have not been in contact with him before, but according to the information that the division has, he is an elder with a gentle personality.

At this point, Lord Li Guan of Qingfeng Guan was not wrong, and the situation described was more detailed than the information in the division. ”

After telling the Lan and information he had grasped one by one, Liu Qingyuan's words suddenly changed.

"As for this noble man who is about to come to Luoshui City, I thought that there would be a Zhongcheng from the Pilgrimage Division, or a regular servant.

But from beginning to end, I didn't expect that it would be Lu Zhihe, a woman, who came to take charge of the Moxianglou case. ”

Wei Tao turned his head to look at her, "The news I got from Lord Li Guan only said that Lu Zhihe is a relative of Empress Lu of this dynasty.

He learned the art of Xuanwu Dao, and then first entered the Patrol Division, and then entered the Prison Martial Arts Division, and arrested and killed the warriors on the red list several times.

is meticulous and rigorous, jealous and hateful, and is a very powerful and capable character.

Have you been in contact with her and what do you think of these evaluations? ”

Liu Qingyuan sighed faintly, "In the previous mission jointly dispatched by the two divisions of the Pilgrimage, I had contact with her for a period of time, how to describe her as a person, I can only say that what Li Guan is talking about is only the appearance. ”

"Meticulous and rigorous, in other words, this person can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, if she accidentally catches the handle or misses, the consequences will be quite serious."

"As for jealousy and hatred, whether it is her subordinates or the warriors on the rivers and lakes, all those who oppose her are evil, and they all have enmity with her."

"Why should women be embarrassed by women."

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, "According to what you said, does she have even one advantage in this woman?" ”

"Mr. said with a smile, and naturally there are advantages."

Liu Qingyuan poured her a glass of medicinal wine, "Her biggest advantage is to judge the situation, and she will never easily provoke people who can't be provoked." And for those who can afford to be provoked, things are not easy to say.

However, this person is a relative and a relative of the queen's lineage, and with the fact that she was born in Xuanwudao, there are not many people who can make her feel unprovoked. ”

"So if Mr. contacts her, he must be more careful, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious."

"Where you can follow her, it's best to follow it first, and deal with people first."

Liu Qingyuan thought for a moment, "Also, before Lu Zhihe comes, there will definitely be six door catchers to ask Mr. about the situation."

Mr. felt that when the time comes, what should be said and what should not be said, and how to turn it around, it needs to be carefully considered, so as not to make omissions somewhere. ”

"You reminded me in time, I see."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, picked up the medicinal wine and drank it all.
