Early in the morning of the fourth day, when it was just dawn, Xiao Xia got up, put on his clothes and pushed the door out.

"Where is Brother Wei going so early in the morning?" Feilong Daoist asked while lying on the bed yawning, the people who wandered the rivers and lakes were a little vigilant, and they would wake up at the slightest movement, not to mention that Xiao Xia didn't deliberately take it lightly.

"I didn't eat much last night, I'm a little hungry, so I'm going to eat early. Are you going with the Flying Dragon Daoyou?" replied Natsu.

"Sleep a little longer, go yourself. The Wyvern grunted, rolled over and fell asleep again. Half of his legs were hanging out of the bed, and a stench came from his feet and shoes under the bed, but it smoked the whole room so that there were not a single fly or mosquito.

Xiao Xia walked briskly alone in the passage between the rooms with only the glimmer of light, and when he walked to the cafeteria, he happened to see two handymen carrying a large pot of gruel and several large baskets of steaming steamed buns from the machine beast to the table next to it, and the huge cafeteria was still empty and there was no one else.

"It's early and coincidental, so let me take the first bite today. Xiao Xia smiled and walked straight up, picked up the bowl, scooped up the rice porridge, and picked up the steamed buns. The two handymen also smiled and nodded with him: "This master got up early." ”

Xiao Xia smiled and nodded, casually walked to the corner of the hall and sat down, and slowly began to eat and drink. When he drank half a bowl of gruel, another person walked in at the door, this person was in his early twenties, dressed in a Taoist robe, and when he saw Xiao Xia sitting in the center, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "I thought I was the first, it turned out that Wei Feng Daoyou came earlier than me." ”

Xiao Xia smiled and nodded to him before continuing to drink porridge, and the young Taoist walked to get the gruel steamed buns by himself and then walked to Xiao Xia's table and sat down. Some familiar accostings: "Wei Feng Daoyou, how did you progress yesterday?"

"I don't have a clue yet. Xiao Xia shook her head, still with a faint smile on her face. By this time the two handymen had finished moving. Manipulating the machine beast and leaving together, there were only two of them left in the huge dining hall, the sky outside was not completely lit, and the lights on the wall were not enough to light up this hall with a radius of dozens of feet, and for a while, there was a bit of gloomy and strange atmosphere in the darkness.

In the darkness, the smile on Xiao Xia's face also disappeared, and the expressionless face looked cold in the darkness. The voice also seemed to be cold: "Xiningzi Daoist, what are you doing here?"

"Qingfeng Daoyou, I'm here to help you" Xiningzi's expression was a little strange. Probably because Xiao Xia's current expression is a little puzzled and uneasy.

Xiao Xia tried his best to ease his expression, but his mood was really difficult to ease, he had already recognized Xiningzi, but he waited until this time to have a chance to make contact. And there is not much time: "You come here to Maoshan to meaning." Or does Nangong Tong mean?"

"It's Nangong Gongzi's meaning, he asked me to help you"

"It's nonsense!" Xiao Xia almost couldn't help but curse. "Gentlemen, there are more than enough things to achieve!"

"I just asked someone to introduce me to join this righteous path alliance, and Nangong Gongzi asked me to come. Xiningzi's expression continued to be strange, and he also understood that Nangong Tong might not be a capable disciple of a family, but the status of the Nangong family was directly destined for his status in the Righteous Path League, and for a disciple of the Maoshan Branch like him, this was already something that needed to be looked up to and looked up again. He almost subconsciously thought that it was really a high-minded being.

As early as when he was in Maoshan, this Xiningzi had revealed that he wanted to join the Righteous Path Alliance. This is an alliance that brings together the disciples of the great faction of the family, and it is undoubtedly a treasure in the eyes of those who are good at wooing franchises. At that time, Xiao Xia casually agreed, and then he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't expect that Xiningzi would find a way to ask someone to get in, and he happened to be among Xiao Xia's people.

In fact, that's all, but it was also randomly arranged here by Nangong Tong.

Xiao Xia took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to whisper: "You Guangning Guan was originally in this Jingzhou, but you didn't even disguise yourself and mixed in. And you don't look like a wandering Fu Daoist at all, and you don't know how to disguise yourself as a Fu Daoist. ”

The regular Taoist priest of the famous faction is very different from the wild Taoist priest who mixes the rivers and lakes between his gestures and words, if he has the intention to dress up, it will be fine, but if he walks in with such a swagger like Xiningzi, even the rude Feilong Taoist can see at a glance that Xiningzi, a young man, is 'young and promising', and in the eyes of the caring people in the Shenji Hall, the possibility of being seen through is extremely high.

Lurking is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe, but falling into the eyes of a family like Nangong Tong is like child's play, if Xiningzi is seen through and killed, it will be fine, but it may affect him, so this makes Xiao Xia annoyed. In the lurking mission in the Liuzi Battalion, it is not uncommon to directly kill such colleagues who may be exposed, so as to hide their identities.

"No wonder Qingfeng Daoyou, you haven't been in contact with me for the past few days, and it wasn't until yesterday that you quietly summoned me to come here this morning. Xiningzi suddenly looked a little unimpressed. "It's just that Nangong Gongzi said that the people of this Shenji Hall are flustered and have no distractions, so I don't have to worry about being recognized, so I didn't dress up. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, there are quite a lot of people in this Divine Machine Hall, and there is not much defense against outsiders, especially us newly recruited wild Taoist priests, there are a lot of people together, why be so careful"

Xiao Xia couldn't help frowning and shook his head, this Xiningzi is good at drilling, and his cultivation is not bad, he can barely be regarded as a talent, but he obviously doesn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes. He didn't say much, just asked, "How many Fu Qi Daoists have you seen near Jingyang City in the past few days?"

"This, it seems that those who didn't come in with me are from other places, and only that old man is with you who is a native of Jingzhou, but it is also on the border of Jingzhou, quite far from here. ”

"Then where did the local Fu Daoist in Jingzhou go?"

"Didn't I hear that there were some deaths and injuries in the accident before?"

"Fu Gong Taoist priests are not uncommon people, although many of them have no fixed residence. Wandering in all directions, but generally speaking, there will always be two or three within a radius of a hundred miles. The news of the heavy reward of the Shenji Hall has already spread to Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, how can the local Fu Daoist priests in Jingzhou not know? In any case, there will be more than a dozen people who will come to hear the wind and be more preemptive than us. Didn't Master Zeng say that only two or three died some time ago? What about the others?"

"Doom"

At this time, there were already people walking in outside the door of the canteen, Xiao Xia glanced at it, and his face was filled with the kind of relaxed smile that can only be found in small talk between acquaintances, and he whispered: "In short, this matter is far from being as simple as it seems, and it seems to be chaotic in this magic hall." There is danger hidden inside, you have to be more careful, and if you can't do it, you can find an excuse to leave. Don't contact me in the future, just do your own thing, I don't want your help here, and you can't help either. ”

Say that. Xiao Xia picked up half a steamed bun and got up and left his seat. While eating, he walked out, leaving Xiningzi sitting there alone in a daze.

Outside the dining hall, the sun has begun to shine, and many craftsmen and craftsmen have begun to come out of the houses, and the densely organized living area like a chicken coop has begun to burst into lively life. Xiao Xia was nibbling on steamed buns while swaying and walking among them, but it was different from the ease on the surface, but his heart was dignified.

What I just said to Xiningzi. It's not just to scare him. Xiao Xia can roughly judge that this Shenji Hall seems to be chaotic and negligent. There should be an invisible shadow, like a poisonous snake lurking under the grass, if someone really inserts their feet at random without knowing the depth, they will not just get a lesson, maybe it will be a complete death.

Also, there was more than one reason why Xiao Xia had been so cautious, he also had a dim feeling that since he entered here, it was as if there was a pair, maybe more than one pair of eyes, looking at him in the shadows that were close at hand. This is the sense of crisis that he has honed in the years of the Liuzi camp, walking between life and death, and although it is so faint that it is almost imperceptible, it is never wrong.

###

It looked like a red paste-like fire elixir slowly flowed down the arranged tube, and the talismans engraved on the tube lit up in turn, and as the temperature gradually increased, those fire elixirs gradually flowed faster and faster, and gradually emitted red light, and finally turned into a dazzling streamer that flew into a dazzling streamer, flowing quickly on the stone platform full of talismans and following the guidance of the talisman array.

This stone platform is round and round, and dozens of large and small talismans are placed on it, forming several magic circles connected together, fusing the fire secret medicine flowing out of the thin tube, exciting, and controlling it. A few zhang away, Xiao Xia, Feilong Daoren, Sanshan Daoren, and Old Man Zhang, together with Xiningzi with the pseudonym Guangningzi and several other wild Daoist priests all looked at it with nervous expressions. More than ten zhang away, several mechanics were also watching from afar.

As the red light flowed faster and brighter, the temperature in the room became higher and higher, and the overflowing fire vitality seemed to dye even the air a fiery red. Suddenly, a talisman seemed to be unable to withstand the impact of these red lights and burst out, and the red light that was originally controlled by the talisman suddenly gushed out, exploding several surrounding talismans like a chain reaction, and then exploded towards the surroundings.

At this time, the outermost circle of talismans on the stone platform suddenly lit up, and a thick water vitality and chill erupted from it, and a lot of overflowing red light suddenly canceled each other out, leaving only the sneering white water vapor bubbling up. Even so, there were still some fiery red lights sputtering out, but the few talisman Taoist priests standing in front of them seemed to have been prepared, and they all used the talisman that they had already pinched in their hands in time, and several earthen walls and water walls flashed out for a while, blocking all the red light that flew out.

After a period of chaos, someone used the talisman to blow a gust of wind to blow away the water vapor all over the house, revealing the stone platform below. There were no traces of the fire secret medicine on it, a large piece of stone platform was burned and melted, and the thin pipes used to transport the fire secret medicine had long been burned without leaving a trace, and none of the talismans survived.

"It's still not good, this fire line secret medicine is too domineering, and the fire line yuan power that is aroused is too strong, even if it is a spell of the first grade, it is difficult to control. ”

"It's not that they can't control it, it's just that those craftsmen require that they be too delicate and easy to control, and they can control the error of one size out of five hundred at any time, and with the fire and energy of this kind of dΓΉ, it is like wielding a giant hammer to hit mosquitoes and flies at will. If you only hurt and not kill, how can you do it with a talisman spell?"

"That's not the case, if there are a few high-grade fire talismans. Or directly control the high-grade spells, then maybe it's still okay."

"Isn't that nonsense? Now that the master elders of the Five Elements Sect Heavenly Fire Sect are almost all dead, where can I find someone who can use the high-grade fire practice spells? Even if there are talismans left, they are also things that are not available after using them once, can you take out a few thousand and try them slowly?"

"I said that these mechanics are really a bit nitpicky, and they don't understand this Fa thing, but they want people to do what they want."

The wild Taoist priests around the stone platform were all depressed. There was a lot of talk, and the talisman on this table was pieced together by their collective efforts and racking their brains these days. But he couldn't even support the time of half a pillar of incense. And this is only to test the feasibility of the talisman, and it is still far from being practiced to the top of the mechanism.

Several mechanics standing in the distance also came over, and when they heard the complaints of the Taoist priests, an old man who was over the age of sixteen couldn't help but snort angrily: "The mechanism of our Shenji Hall is so ingenious. How could a few of you Jianghu Daoist monks understand? If it weren't for the unfortunate death of our Wei Zuo. This firepower hub can be controlled only by relying on the power of the mechanism, so why do I need to ask you to help?"

This old man is the chief craftsman of the Jingzhou rudder, surnamed Wei, who is in charge of all the organ manufacturing, and the talisman mechanism that Xiao Xia and they studied is naturally among them. Now this talisman mechanism seems to have become the focus of all research work, and this Wei chief craftsman has been staring at them almost all day long.

The people in the rivers and lakes and the people in the Shenji Hall know that these craftsmen are practical and practical, and there is no shelf for putting on a score. Although it is precisely because of this that some people do not look down on them and feel that they do not have the grandeur that a big gang should have. But for the average charlatan, it is much easier to deal with them. Although the status of this Chief Craftsman Wei is not low, he does not have the habit of suppressing people with power, and the Flying Dragon Daoist can't help but retort: "Master Wei, don't talk nonsense if you don't use the Channeling Method, this Fire Secret Medicine was originally a thing refined by the Heavenly Fire Sect of the Five Elements Sect of my Daomen, and it was specially refined from the Fire Yuan Force in the Earth Fire Tribulation Ash, and it was properly blended It was really a burning mountain and boiling the sea, such a fierce and domineering thing, how could it be controlled with the technique of the mechanism?"

When Chief Craftsman Wei heard this, he became even more angry, and reprimanded with foaming foam: "Ignorant junior, don't you know the Tianhuo faction when the old man is helping the Tianhuo faction build utensils, you junior still doesn't know where to play with pee cement bar!"

The surrounding people couldn't help but sneer, and the depressed atmosphere disappeared, and the Sanshan Daoist couldn't help but kindly explain to the Feilong Daoist: "Flying Dragon Daoist, don't you know, the predecessor of the Shenji Hall is a branch of the Five Elements Sect Qiaojin Gate, speaking of which, it can be regarded as a line of my Daomen, judging from the age of this Wei craftsman, he is also the old man of the Qiaojin Sect, compared to us who just pay around to learn the Five Elements Dao Method, they are the real descendants of the Five Elements Sect." ”

"I see, and such an allusion?" the Flying Dragon Daoist's big face suddenly turned red.

The Sanshan Daoist stroked a few shrimp whiskers on his chin, and his face was pale: "This kind of secret of the rivers and lakes is indeed difficult for ordinary people to know." Poor Dao also learned a thing or two from a friend in Houtumen. ”

The Flying Dragon Daoist turned to Master Wei and asked, "Since you are from the Five Elements Sect, why don't any of you use the Dao Talisman?

Chief Craftsman Wei waved his hand, his expression a little sneering: "It's not interesting to talk about the old past." At that time, we just couldn't get used to the Five Elements Sect's clinging to the defects, and we only knew that we were resting on our laurels with the classics left by our predecessors, so we broke the door and stood on our own, and what we brought out was the art of smelting the organ, and we were determined to open a unique door with the art of the organ, and the previous Dao methods were naturally abandoned. ”

Sanshan Daoist kindly explained: "Among the Five Elements Sect, Qiaojinmen was originally the least numerous and the least prosperous one, basically only responsible for the way of instrument manufacturing and smelting, and was attacked by the Demon Sect in the first battle with the Demon Sect, and was almost wiped out, and the most Dao law books were lost. It was a coincidence that after the split of the Five Elements Sect, the Golden Gate gradually withered, and it was difficult to maintain even a livelihood, and no one went to study the Dao Method."

Chief Craftsman Wei interrupted with a displeased face: "Enough." What's the use of talking about those old things now, it's still right to think about how to solve the current problem. ”

Everyone returned their eyes and attention to the half-burned stone platform, and after thinking about it. The Sanshan Daoist said: "The main problem is that Fu Zheng can't control such a violent fire line Yuan power, if the power of this fire line secret medicine is reduced by half, then it will be much easier to use Fu Gong to control zhì."

Before the Sanshan Daoist finished speaking. Chief Craftsman Wei interrupted with a wave of his hand: "That's impossible, this is already the lowest power under the operational requirements of the entire organ structure, if it is lowered no matter how low it is, even the mechanism cannot be driven, what is the use?"

"The purpose of developing this mechanism talisman is to drive the mechanism?" asked the Miyama Daoren. "I thought it was used to breathe fire and hurt people. ”

Chief Craftsman Wei didn't speak, and a craftsman beside him who was looking at the drawings replied casually: "Of course, it's the driving mechanism, otherwise why would you control the power in it so finely? Ordinary mechanism beasts are all used with smart wood, but the power of the mechanism required in our new plan this time is too great." Far from being driven by the spirit wood, it is planned to use the burning and explosive power of the fire elixir. Originally, this core fire melting mechanism would be handed over to Master Weisser, but unfortunately Wei was killed by a traitor some time ago. Now I can only settle for the next best thing and try to use the talisman circle. ”

Chief Craftsman Wei frowned and glanced at the craftsman, and the craftsman was also stunned for a moment, realizing that he had too many mouths. Silent with a face full of shame.

The people of Sanshan Dao are also considered to be old rivers and lakes. It's best not to know what you shouldn't know, cough, and return the topic: "If the world talks about the Fire Dao Method, it will naturally be regarded as the Heavenly Fire Sect." Although the people in the rudder of the Battle of the Heavenly Volcano died, the disciples of the various rudders should still be there, right? If you check carefully, maybe there are any classics or the like, and you may be able to think of a way to refer to them. ”

Chief Craftsman Wei shook his head expressionlessly: "It's gone." As early as five years ago, when the Vermilion Bird Fire was obtained, the Heavenly Fire Sect had all the classics. The talismans, magic weapons and so on were all sent to the Helm Heaven Volcano. The Extreme Way of Fire was the long-cherished wish of those monsters for hundreds of years. Even his own life is not hesitated to be used as fuel to be thrown into it, where will there be any classic talismans and the like. Those disciples who stayed in various places to divide the rudder are all three-legged cats who can only order introductory spells, we have already visited a few people before, and their cultivation is still inferior to yours. ”

"What if you go to invite someone from the Shenshui Palace?" Xiao Xia, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"Shenshui Palace?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then the Flying Dragon Daoist immediately laughed: "Hahahaha, Brother Wei, you are mistaken, that Shenshui Palace's specialisation in the Water Dao Method, there is nothing to be done about this fire thing." ”

"Not necessarily. Natsu shook her head. "Water and fire are mutually restrictive, if it is said that the world knows the most about the fire Dao method, in addition to the Tianhuo faction, there should only be the Shenshui Palace. And from the perspective of Taoism, although controlling fire with fire is the right way, it is also a way to control fire with water, even if it is more difficult, if Shenshui Palace can help, maybe it will work. ”

"Yes, Brother Wei's words have some truth. Several Fu Daoist priests looked at each other and nodded their heads. Although these are wild Taoist priests who have no teacher, they can learn the Five Elements Dao method by themselves to a certain level, their talents and minds are not bad, and they also have some experience in studying the way of the talisman.

"Is it really possible to use the water path method?" Chief Craftsman Wei looked at the expressions of several people, and also showed joy. "The people of the Divine Water Palace are much easier to talk than those monsters of the Heavenly Fire Sect, so I will go and report to the hall master and let the Divine Water Palace send someone to help. ”

After saying this, Chief Craftsman Wei turned around and left with a few of his subordinate craftsmen, leaving Xiao Xia and a few other Fu Daoist priests looking at each other.

"Brother Erwei, you're saying something wrong. Although the people in the Shenshui Palace are a little weird, they have always adhered to the way of 'goodness is like water', and they are famous for making good connections. If they come and settle the matter, will the money still fall on our heads?"

With Sanshan Dao as a person, the faces of the other people are a little unsightly, everyone came for the reward, and they pushed the matter to others in one sentence, did everyone come here just to eat a few bowls of idle rice in his Shenji Hall?

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Brother, I didn't think about it so much for a while, I lost my words, I lost my words! Fellow Daoists, please don't blame me! Actually, the people from the Shenshui Palace may not come, and even if they come, they may not be able to do a good job in this matter. If we work together, the money will still be indispensable."

Xiao Xia made amends one by one, with a wry smile on her face. And he was still smiling bitterly in his heart, but the meaning was diametrically opposite: these Taoist friends didn't know that if the Shenshui Palace really came, then everyone might really be able to get money, if they didn't come - ninety percent would not come, it was because they knew that goodness was like water, so they would never come to wade into this bottomless backwater - not to mention money, it would be good if a few people here could keep their lives.
