Early the next morning.

As usual, the scholars came to the courtyard of the academy to meditate.

However, to their surprise, the college was exceptionally quiet today.

Not only did they always not care if they were practicing seriously, but as long as they were interested, they would step aside and start to evaluate while peeking at other people's homework, and the fifth senior sister who was idle every day was not there, and even the senior sister who always came out from time to time to inspect and supervise did not appear.

In other words, what was originally an intense and exciting class suddenly turned into a relaxed and casual self-study.

Except for a few disciples who still demanded their own disciples with the strictest standards regardless of whether they were supervised or not, the rest of them naturally couldn't help but relax and began to whisper.

"What's going on today?"

"I don't know, forget about the fifth senior sister, the senior sister shouldn't oversleep."

"What about the fourth senior brother?"

"I heard that it was a blessing in disguise, and I am in retreat."

"Fu? If the Pure Yang Holy Body is leaked like that, can it still be blessed? ”

"You don't understand this, right, it's like that thousand-year-old cold pool, which is naturally cold, right? Useless! If the water does not live, it does not flow, and if it does not flow, there is no circulation and change, it is just a pool of stagnant water. The Pure Yang Holy Body of the Fourth Senior Brother is the same reason, that is, after venting the old yang and giving birth to a new yang, it can be endless, stronger and stronger, the so-called not broken and not standing, nothing more than that. ”

"Who said that?"

"Fifth Senior Sister."

"No wonder, I mean that the group of physical cultivators in the Blazing Flame Building always say that they have to practice like clear water, and only when they don't see the slightest bit of white turbidity can they be regarded as successful in cultivation, so is this the truth?"

"That's right."

Just as the scholars were talking, someone pushed the door open from the attic and walked out.

As soon as the door was opened, the whispering stopped abruptly, and the cultivators thought that the senior sister had finally come out, and immediately lowered their heads and pretended to start the article that would be used for assessment in a week.

I didn't want to look up, but what I saw was Jiang Lu.

"Huh? How is he? ”

Jiang Lu yawned, stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and squinted his eyes.

"It's morning."

He shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the academy on his own.

During the whole process, none of the scholars spoke up.

Because of Jiang Lu's self-talk, it was obvious that he had lived in an attic all night that only Wen Yu's personal disciples could live in, which meant something needless to say.

Zhou Luwei has been with them for a long time, and she is very arrogant, and she mingles with them, and she doesn't take the distinction between the classes of her own disciples and her inner disciples so seriously, so the matter of etiquette and humility is not important.

But Jiang Lu is different, they are not familiar with his temperament, of course, they will be worried that if they say something wrong, they will annoy him, and maybe they will be put in small shoes.

Therefore, Mo said that Wen Xiu, who was in the Qi cultivation period like Jiang Lu, even a few who had built a foundation were silenced, and only waited for Jiang Lu to leave before they dared to discuss it.

Even Fan Jin, who had just reached the threshold of foundation building yesterday and was full of ambition, did not speak, even if he was not used to seeing Jiang Lu being so close to Zhou Luwei just one day after he came, he only frowned and watched him leave.

It wasn't until Jiang Lu's figure disappeared at the courtyard gate that he muttered:

"Although the fifth senior sister seems to be out of tune, she is also a genuine Chaos Holy Body, the fourth senior brother is admired by everyone, and the most mysterious third senior sister and the second senior brother who is not seen by the dragon, not to mention the senior sister, even the sect master is full of praise, why is he standing side by side with these people?"

"Maybe he's a Eucharist?" Someone picked up the stubble.

"How can there be a holy body in the middle stage of Qi cultivation?" Fan Jin shook his head: "After the fifth senior sister came into contact with cultivation, she started at the peak of Qi training, and built an immortal Dao foundation in a month, if it weren't for the pursuit of perfect Jindan, it would have been a Jindan overhaul long ago, not only her, but other senior brothers and sisters also deliberately suppressed the cultivation speed in order to pursue the ultimate, and I haven't heard of any holy bodies and mid-stage Qi training." ”

"That's what's so special."

Xiao Zhan said: "I don't know why, as soon as I saw him, I felt that my spiritual sense kept ringing, and I felt that if I discussed it with him, I wouldn't have a sound when I farted in the future." ”

He was answered by the white eyes of the people.

"Senior Brother Xiao Zhan, you are really getting more and more enchanted, it is better to distinguish between work and life." Fan Jin sighed: "Besides, what are you talking about?" Which brother and sister is not a dragon and phoenix among people, extremely noble, will look at him differently because of this kind of thing? Don't talk about them, if you say so, where do you put the dignity of the teacher? ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it." Xiao Zhan lowered his head guiltily.

At the same time, the senior sisters who were extremely noble in the dragon and phoenix were still numb in Wen Tao Pavilion at this time, and they couldn't move.

Among them, he has a different kind of affection for Jiang Lu, even if his body does not allow it, he does not retreat like others, but relies on his strong willpower and Ling Ling, who is the Dao heart, and the highest cultivation and the greater the responsibility.

"If you want to say that your apprentice is really evil."

The painting with his legs not close together tiredly supported his heavy eyelids that looked like they were filled with lead: "In front of him, it's like all beings are equal, don't say that they, even if it's me, can't protect myself, and my soul will be damaged by him." ”

"This," the yogurt gluttonous smiled with satisfaction, "It's the Holy Body of Slaanesh!" ”

There is a saying.

When a person is beaten by a group, the most important thing is not to resist, but to grab one of the opponents and attack them without dying, so that although they may not be able to protect themselves, the other party will definitely be more seriously injured than themselves.

Jiang Lu, as a person who has experienced this desperate situation, naturally understands the truth.

But last night's danger was nowhere near the worst.

Not only was it attacked by a group at all, but even the opponents were untrained ordinary people.

In this case, Jiang Lu could have fought a few at a time, not to mention that he was just fighting alone, which was equivalent to always just facing the enemy in front of him, crushing the opponent through absolute superiority under 1v1, and then repeating 1v1 for one night.

So for him, at most, it can only be regarded as a bit of exercise, but in fact, he doesn't even sweat much.

And he came out alone, not for anything else, mainly because he was entrusted by Wen Tao to let him go to Alchemy Peak to get medicine, help the senior sisters relax their muscles and activate their nerves, and replenish their essence.

In addition to the first four people, five more people came one after another, the third senior sister of the academy, and the four senior sisters of the painting academy.

Jiang Lu didn't expect that the elite schools of the two hundred liu sects were all just theoretical experts from top to bottom, and at the end of the night, there were only legal loli wen gluttonous paintings, senior sister Ling Ling, third senior sister Gongsun Desire, and the only experienced senior sister in the painting academy left an impression on him.

The others, even Jiang Lu didn't know their names until now.

Needless to say, if the two masters can do math problems, it will be a lore, but unfortunately they can't do it.

Senior Sister Ling Ling has the highest understanding, and she can understand it at one point, and the Holy Body of Enchantment and the Holy Body of Slaanesh complement each other, producing a wonderful chemical reaction and making the most splashes.

If Genghis Khan saw her horsemanship, he would have to give her the Khan's position.

Gongsun Desire, the Extreme Yin Holy Body, is just the opposite of the fourth senior brother, often because he is too sensitive, and even walks will suddenly lose his mind, so he retreats all the year round, although it is a Jindan overhaul, but he has never gone out to practice.

But Jiang Lu prefers to call it the mint holy body, an ice cream-style physique, which melts as soon as it is hot, if she is the one who entered the [Ten Days Hell] with Jiang Lu at the beginning, then I believe that there is no need to encounter so many difficulties in preparing holy water, she can reach the power of the army alone, and she is also the only one who needs to keep replenishing water last night.

Senior sister of the painting academy, Jiang Lu didn't know her name, but he knew that her Taoist name was Luo Tian, and she was a sword cultivator.

She was reluctant to tell Jiang Lu her name, and refused to call Jiang Lu's name, and the whole process was called by the name of her Taoist companion.

However, in the back, although she still stubbornly said that this move was only for the benefit of the sect, one of her actions still made Jiang Lu feel a little warm.

It's hard to say what the move is, but its gold content is equivalent to "he wants to wear it, you don't have to wear it".

As for Zhou Luwei, she was blacklisted by Jiang Lu, because she didn't know where she got the props, and she wanted to pry Jiang Lu when she wore them.

As he was reminiscing, Jiang Lu also came to Alchemy Peak smoothly and found the steward who was sitting in the account room.

"Is Su in charge?" Jiang Lu looked at the other party's waist card and said, "Please give me a Qi Replenishing Pill for nine people, I want it to be of the highest grade." ”

"Nine?"

Steward Su was stunned: "You are a monk in the Qi cultivation period, one Qi Replenishing Pill is divided into several times, but this one is three, what do you want so much?" ”

"Ah, I don't use it." Jiang Lu explained: "It was my master who asked me to take it. ”

"Oh." Steward Su nodded: "Where's the supple?" ”

Jiang Lu took out the seal given by Wen Yu from his arms: "Give." ”

Steward Su took the seal, glanced at it, and was immediately surprised: "Elder Wenyu? Are you a disciple of the Food and Color Academy? ”

"yes, what's the problem?"

Jiang Luxin said, don't you see that she doesn't look like a scholar?

"There is no problem, it's just a little strange, because the disciples of the Food Color Academy have never used the Qi Replenishing Pill, and I am a little curious for a while."

Steward Su looked at Jiang Lu puzzled:

"Usually, the people who exchange the Qi Replenishing Pill the most are the people from the Blazing Flame Building, your academy won't want one in a year and a half, why do you want nine copies at once this time."

"Ugh"

Of course, Jiang Lu couldn't tell outsiders about the purpose, so he immediately shook his head and said: "I don't know, I'm just helping my master run errands, if you want to know this, you have to ask her, why don't I go back and ask?" ”

"No, no."

Steward Su hurriedly waved his hand, and as soon as Jiang Lu said this, he also reacted that he was a little arrogant, and he was curious, but he didn't want to block an elder's heart because of this, let alone the most difficult in the sect, and every elder sold her a little face.

There was once a steward who saw her, and talked about her being short behind her back, and she was directly thrown into the Blazing Flame Building to be trained into the toys of those female cultivators, which was terrifying.

God knows if the other party knew that she wanted to replenish the qi pill and she was still grinding, would she be thrown to the Imperial Beast Mountain tomorrow because she walked into the Alchemy Peak with her left foot first, and become those perverted pet beasts of the Imperial Beast lineage.

Thinking of this, he just wanted to deal with Jiang Lu quickly, so he picked up his pen and began to prepare for the approval of the slips.

But as soon as he opened the inventory page of the Qi Replenishing Pill on the account book, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said to Jiang Lu apologetically: "Oh, unfortunately, Blazing Flame Building has already taken all the remaining Qi Replenishing Pills away yesterday, and if you have to wait for the new Qi Replenishing Pill to come out, you have to wait until the afternoon, if you are not in a hurry, why don't you come again in the afternoon?" ”

"It's just that I'm in a hurry, can I come early in the morning if I'm not in a hurry?"

Jiang Lu is also a little depressed, Wen Tao and Hua Fang are just there, Xiu Wei is there, even if there is no Qi Replenishing Pill, it will be relieved after resting for a while, but other people can't do it, it's all like that, and it will definitely not be better for a while.

People have work to do during the day, and if they are delayed because of themselves, Jiang Lu is very reluctant to go.

"Please think of a way, see if you can even out a little, or tell me where you have exchanged a relatively large number of Qi Replenishing Pills, I'll try my luck and see if I can borrow some."

"This. I'll show you this. Steward Su reluctantly followed Jiang Lu's request and began to check where a large number of Qi Replenishing Pills had been mentioned recently.

Looking at it, Steward Su made a discovery: "Yes, in order to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony in a month, the Stargazing Tower has taken away a lot of various pills, and it should not be used now, if it is just borrowed, for the sake of Elder Wentao's face, it should not be a big problem." ”

"Oh, thank you!" Jiang Lu nodded gratefully, then turned around and left.

"Huh! Seal! ”

"Oh." Jiang Lu turned around and took Wen Yu's seal.

Looking at his frizzy appearance, Steward Su felt a little funny.

Wen Tao actually let such a lowly disciple run errands, it is really heartfelt.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Lu turned back again: "Where is the stargazing tower?" ”

“.”

Under the guidance of Steward Su, Jiang Lu finally went to the Stargazing Tower again.

It is a seven-story tower perched on a cliff between two peaks, and at the base is a huge stone-mill-like disc that connects the peaks on both sides, and beneath the disc is a bottomless abyss.

Jiang Lu stood on the disc, looked down, and pondered to himself: "Is the sacrifice here?" So the Nether Gate should be down there? ”

It is worthy of the Bailiu Sect, and the immortals who ascend are flying up to open the gate of heaven, they are falling down, and the main thing is an evil fall.

Being able to come to the Stargazing Tower was also an unexpected joy for Jiang Lu.

He had planned to come and see how the sacrifice was running sooner or later, but he didn't expect to have this opportunity the next day.

After thinking about it, he entered the stargazing building, found the steward on the first floor, and explained his intentions.

"Qi Replenishing Pill?"

The steward nodded: "We do, but I have to report it, please wait here for a while." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

After the steward went upstairs, Jiang Lu walked around on the first floor.

The functions of each floor of the Stargazing Tower are different, and the disciples are all practicing metaphysics.

For example, the disciples on the first floor were studying the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and there was a light curtain suspended in front of each of them.

Jiang Lu was curious, so he casually found someone who seemed to be more casual and friendly.

After learning about it, he learned that these light curtains connected the world outside the secret realm of the Bailiu Sect, to be precise, some of the secret strongholds of the Bailiu Sect.

If someone asks the disciples of the Stargazing Building to do divination, it is through those strongholds to communicate this light curtain, and then the disciples on the first floor can remotely calculate the divination and work from home, which is quite humane.

It's just that because the strength of the disciples on the first floor is limited, they can only be counted as fierce and good, and they can only withstand the backlash of mortals, so they are basically ordinary people.

If you want to give a cultivator good fortune and avoid evil, or learn a more advanced deduction technique that can calculate specific matters, then you have to be a higher-level disciple to do it.

Listening to the other party's words, Jiang Lu began to think about the possibility of asking the people in the Stargazing Tower to help him deduce the position of the clone, but if he thought about it carefully, I am afraid that this level of backlash is not to mention the merger period, and even the Mahayana period will have to be chopped to death on the spot by a thunderbolt.

So he retreated and asked about the sacrifice.

"This senior brother, I've always been curious, how did our sect communicate with the old mother of Baiyi, and what is the core of the sacrifice?"

"The heart of the sacrifice?" The other party thought for a while: "The core is sincerity, sincerity, gold and stone are open." ”

"Uh" Jiang Lu explained, "No, I mean, the key items used in the sacrifice or something. ”

"Oh, that's what you say." The other party suddenly realized: "The key item. It's probably the portrait of the old mother of Baiyi, there is all the charm of the old mother of Baiyi, and seeing this painting is no different from seeing the old mother of Baiyi. ”

"So in other words, the most important thing in the sacrifice is the items related to the person being sacrificed, right?"

"I can't say that, but if there is, of course, it's best, the more closely related to the person being sacrificed, the easier it is for the sound of the sacrifice to be heard by the deity, and the most important thing is actually the unique sacrifice text of each sacrifice object, which is the point."

The other party patiently explained: "If there are no items, it is possible that the sacrifice will be successful, but without the sacrifice text, everything is in vain." ”

"That's right."

Jiang Lu was a little disappointed.

Although he figured out that the key point was the sacrificial text, how did he know what his sacrificial text was?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lu asked again:

"Speaking of which, apart from the old mother of Baiyi, there are no other immortals in the netherworld?"

"This one really exists!"

Hearing this question, the other party suddenly said with some excitement:

"I've heard a legend that the portrait of the old mother seems to come from the handwriting of a certain existence above it, so I can record her charm.

If you are anyone under the immortals, don't say that you have recorded her charm, just facing her will be subjected to soul pressure, this is the gap between humans and immortals. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Lu suddenly saw a glimmer of hope: "Then that existence is."

"I don't know." The other party shook his head: "It's all said to be a legend, and a legend is something that you don't know if it's true or not, let alone who that existence is." ”

After a pause, he changed his words again: "However, everyone says that existence is the master of the netherworld, after all, except for this kind of existence, no one can make Baiyi's old mother willingly paint that kind of painting." ”

"That kind of painting? What paintings? Jiang Lu was a little curious.

The other party looked left and right, and whispered: "Let's talk first, although everyone knows this legend, no one has really seen it, and you don't say that I told you." ”

"Yes."

Seeing Jiang Lu nodding heavily, the other party released his desire to share, his eyes were blazing, and he said word by word: "Nude painting!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Lu was stunned: "It's the kind I thought, right?" ”

"Yes!"

The other person nodded:

"Because the content of the painting is sensitive, the scroll is kept in the picture box and not unfolded during the festival every year.

Moreover, the old mother of Baiyi on the portrait has a charming look, but it does not seem to exist in the world, I heard that that kind of appearance is beyond the imagination of the crazy people who refine the gods in Lechuan.

There was once a senior in the Yuan infant stage who refined the body, glanced at the portrait, went crazy and retreated in the Blazing Building, did it with his hands for a whole month, forgot to sleep and eat, and finally exploded and died. ”

"Hiss" Jiang Lu was speechless: "So terrifying? ”

"Yes, I also heard that Baiyi's mother is not a human at all, but a kind of big demon fairy with many animal characteristics!"

"Not human?"

"I heard, although she is infatuated, but not that kind of fox face, but a kind of pure and chaotic blur, how to say"

"Pure and lustful, pure desire?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's what it means, you're a genius! ”

"You go on."

"That kind of appearance, very similar to a cat, but except for the head, her body is not as powerful as the cat's body, but very delicate, and there are two pairs of spider-like feet on her back, her true appearance is definitely not any kind of creature that exists in the world."

Listening to the other party's description, Jiang Lu thought of something.

This postural characteristic. This Baiyi mother can't be a cat and cat insect incarnation, right?

And as soon as he thought of this, Jiang Lu suddenly thought of something.

He used [Super Memory] to urgently search for the memories carried in the Evil God's Buttocks, and suddenly remembered that he did seem to remember a special cat and worm.

Somehow, the cat and cat worm wandered to the outside world, and didn't know what it devoured, accidentally transformed, and was met by Jiang Lu and Zeus when they were wandering the world, and after an in-depth exchange, she was dead set on Jiang Lu and followed him back to the underworld.

At that time, it seemed that she was arranged to be some kind of supervisor

Jiang Lu thought about it carefully and finally remembered.

At that time, he had a department that specialized in cultivating talents who were good at various talents from the human world, and selected people with good conditions from among them to be extradited to the underworld and entered a department under the Ministry of Commerce in charge of reception.

In other words, the old mother of Baiyi, who is worshiped as a god here, seems to be just a talent base supervisor and part-time life secretary arranged by herself.

To put it more ugly, it is the bustard of Jiang Lu's subordinate industry.

"Tsk"

Thinking of this, Jiang Lu only felt that the contrast between the two worlds was a little too magical, but everything was transparent.

It means that after the ascension, no immortals come back.

This is like a person who goes out to work sees the prosperity of a big city, and tries his best to stay in the big city, and is unwilling to return to the small county.

He looked at the other party in some surprise: "Dude, you've heard too much about this, haven't you?" ”

Normally, the most critical information should be like one or two keywords given by the riddler, even if you know a little less, you may come to a conclusion that is diametrically opposed to the truth.

But the old brother in front of him was different, saying that he had heard about it, but in fact, even if he cut half of this information and took some time at most, Jiang Lu could still think of it.

"Hey."

The other party waved his hand indifferently:

"What is this? I said I heard about it, and that's also relative to the intelligence system of our Stargazing Tower, and we can only hear about things that are not 100% sure here.

I don't dare to say anything else, but at least the refining body of the Yuan Infant Stage is a fact, and the appearance of Baiyi's old mother is also based on facts. ”

"What's the point?" Jiang Lu became interested.

"Because the sacrifice has not produced a person who can ascend for nearly a hundred years, and even if she soars, the old mother of Baiyi never appears, so no one has ever seen her real."

The other party told the story:

"The previous building major was Tongtian, and after seeing the portrait of Baiyi's old mother, he didn't die like the predecessor of the Yuan Infancy, and I don't know what kind of demon he had, anyway, he didn't want to eat all day long.

During this period, he painted the portrait of the old mother, so her appearance was handed down.

He hoped that one day he would be able to soar and see each other, until one day, he couldn't help it, so he stole the heavenly machine and deduced how to meet Baiyi's mother. ”

"And then?"

"Then I will become the last landlord."

Good afternoon!
