Chapter 20: Father's News
So, I began to deliberately distance myself from them.
And learned a new spell. ”
Qian Xiaoyue then said.
"New spells? What spell? ”
Zhou Changwang was stunned.
"Listening.
It is a special type of spell that listens to the movements around it. ”
Qian Xiaoyue explained and continued: "With the help of this spell, I can hear their conversation from time to time.
Only then did they know that every time they start, they will be prepared, inquire a lot of information about the target in advance, and confirm that there are no elders in the sect, and strong relatives and friends will really do it.
Half a year ago, because I deliberately kept my distance from them, I was much more alienated and cold, so I heard that Wang Xifeng listed me as their target. ”
When Zhou Changwang heard this, he immediately glanced at Qian Xiaoyue.
I also know that this listening technique is not as simple as listening to the corner.
The monk is out and about in danger, but if he has the magic of listening, he can hear the movement in advance and discover many potential dangers, which is still very useful.
Qian Xiaoyue didn't pause and continued: "Maybe they have discussed this issue before, but they don't know why they gave up.
When I heard the news, I was immediately anxious.
Fortunately, it was good luck at that time, because I had been cooperating with the Hexagon Pavilion to a certain extent, and I had a good relationship with a female cultivator who was working in the Hexagon Pavilion at that time, and from her mouth, I knew that an alchemist in the Hexagonal Pavilion was about to recruit a 'fan shaker', so I did everything possible to apply for this profession, and said to the outside world that I was favored by Hongbo Alchemist and became his alchemy apprentice.
That's why Zhao Xifeng and the others crossed me off the hunt list. ”
"I see."
Zhou Changwang couldn't help but admire this Qian Xiaoyue a little.
After feeling that there was a catastrophe around him, he immediately thought of learning 'listening skills' to find out the news, and after hearing that the other party regarded himself as a target, he immediately thought of finding a 'backer'.
can be described as timid, but full of desire to survive.
But it is really difficult for ordinary people to do this.
As for the 'shaking fan hand', he also knew that this was actually the time when the alchemist was refining the pill, and the person who cooperated with the palm fan who controlled the fire needed to continuously input spiritual power, wave the fan magic weapon, and increase the fire power of the Dan furnace...... can be regarded as a coolie, and his status is much worse than that of an alchemy apprentice.
Of course, even if he just shook his hand, it was actually much better than his casual cultivator.
After all, no matter how this fan shaker is calculated, he is also a person next to the alchemist, and he may be able to get a reward and get one or two spirit pills.
Even if there is no elixir reward, you can buy the elixir at a low price, or even at a low price, and its benefits are enough to make many low-level casual cultivators rush to it.
"So, in fact, they have already listed it as a target?"
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Changwang came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.
Nodding, Qian Xiaoyue shook her head again and said, "Before, I didn't know.
However, from their conversations, I did understand that your father has a very high status in what they call the 'Jianghu Martial Arts', and his strength should be regarded as the top among the 'innate' martial artists they call it.
So with him guarding, the two of them don't dare to attack you easily. ”
"Then why did you ...... this time?"
Hearing this, Zhou Changwang hurriedly asked.
"Because, your father, hasn't been seen for more than twenty days.
And they inquired that the leader of the loose cultivation team that your father followed at that time, Brother Zhao Heng, had returned. ”
Qian Xiaoyue glanced at Zhou Changwang sympathetically and said.
"Coming back?
When? ”
Zhou Changwang suddenly asked with some excitement.
"A few days ago, less than ten days."
Qian Xiaoyue replied.
"A few days ago? Less than ten days? ”
Zhou Changwang was stunned, wasn't it the beginning of his own crossing? Or even a few days before the crossing?
"That's right.
For this, they waited a few more days.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that your father really hadn't come back that you were really targeted. ”
Qian Xiaoyue said calmly.
"So, the reason why you came to my door that day was not out of concern, but because you suspect that they have already done something to me?"
Zhou Changwang couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
"So to speak."
Qian Xiaoyue nodded, and said with some comfort: "I was relieved to see that you were okay that day.
But it wasn't until last night that I heard that they were sure to do it today, and I couldn't bear it after all, so I quietly followed.
It was your spell that surprised me a little. ”
Although she quietly followed at that time, she didn't dare to make a move easily.
If Zhou Changwang was defeated and easily killed, she would probably return to the room without going out as if nothing had happened.
It was Zhou Changwang who insisted on resisting, and the strength of the spell made her recognize, and after confirming the possibility of killing these two people, she did not hesitate and helped at the critical moment.
"Thank you Qian Daoyou."
Zhou Changwang responded, but his mood was still very bad.
He didn't expect that the loose cultivation team that his father followed had already returned, but his father did not come back...... Although he doesn't want to believe it, generally speaking, his father's life and death are indeed unpredictable.
"You're welcome.
Is there anything else you'd like to ask? ”
Qian Xiaoyue waved her hand, and then said.
Zhou Changwang shook his head, then stood up, intending to leave.
However, at this time, Qian Xiaoyue opened her mouth and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave."
Later in the evening, when there are no people, I will go to their rooms and search them.
The two of them have been robbing and repairing for so long, they must have hidden something, and they should be worth some spirit stones.
However, they were killed by you after all, so there is half of the stuff in it.
Of course, if you don't want it, I won't force it, you can just go back. ”
"Then I'll stay here with Qian Daoyou, stay a little longer."
Zhou Changwang's heart moved, and he hurriedly sat down again and said.
He was poor.
Although I have made a small amount of spirit stones in the past two days because of the removal of insects, compared to the consumption in cultivation, it is a drop in the bucket.
After all, the cultivation of monks requires too many spirit stones.
Feeding on spiritual rice every day and taking spiritual land as your home can only be regarded as daily life, and it is the most basic guarantee for a casual cultivation to maintain cultivation progress.
In fact, many casual practices can't even do this.
For example, he has always eaten ordinary mortal rice before, but the place where he lives is only on the periphery of Fang City, outside the range of a first-grade spiritual vein, and his spiritual energy is very limited.
It's because of the progress of his cultivation, which has been very slow.
And what can really make a monk improve quickly is more than one grade of spiritual veins, medicinal food, demon beast flesh and blood, all kinds of elixirs, spiritual runes to assist in cultivation, magic incense, and even various spiritual plants, spiritual materials, and heavenly treasures with different functions...... Not to mention, when a monk walks outside, he must also have the power to protect himself, so he has to put tools and cultivate powerful spells......
It's hard to count them in one stroke.
Therefore, when a monk cultivates, there are not too many spirit stones.
