Volume 1 Taoist Temple in the Mountains Chapter 18 Backing the Mountain
"Elder Xu, what do you mean by this!"
Chen Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Shihan who was standing in front of Li Hu and asked.
He originally thought that Xu Shi was a smart person, and this time the agitation method had failed, so it would be better for him to kill this Li Hu who had angered him.
But unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, Xu Shi actually made a move.
"When you kill people in the Heavenly Survey, you must also pay attention to evidence." Xu Shi's eyebrows were calm, and he took out a pill from his cuff in a flat tone, fed it to Li Hu, and then looked at Chen Ji seriously and said:
"He's already explained that it has nothing to do with that, does he?"
Chen Ji's face was gloomy, and he suddenly asked loudly:
"What about you!"
"As the master who adopted Ji Ning, he can openly break into Jiang Chuan's gambling house and take those two things, I don't believe this matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Xu Shi, it's you, it's you behind the scenes, right, those two lost things are on you!"
Chen Ji's voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, and everyone who heard it was shocked.
"So that's the case, no wonder it's protected, Lord Xu Feng is really scheming, bold, and even dares to grab things from the Heavenly Mansion."
The old woman surnamed Lu smiled and said coldly on the side.
In fact, she is Chen Ji's internal response in the Taoist temple.
And Chen Ji, the reason why she wanted to use Li Hu to provoke Xu Shi was because of some of her intentional or unintentional misleading, which finally made Chen Ji feel that all these things were designed by Xu Shi behind his back.
As for what the Sky Survey Division lost, what it was and whether it could be found, she didn't care at all.
As long as you can take the opportunity to kill Xu Shi.
Xu Shi raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting that the people from the Heaven Survey Mansion would suspect him.
"So you came to check on me in the first place, so why didn't you just say it?"
The man looked puzzled.
Chen Ji's face was slightly pale and he did not speak.
He didn't want to beat up the suspect without saying a word with the governor's edict like before, and then go to the punishment at will to investigate, but this time the situation was different.
Lord Governor, the people are not in the North County, and even all the powerful deacons in the Heaven Survey Mansion have been taken away, and only a few of them are left.
What's more, when he expressed his suspicions about Xu Shi, the governor, who had always trusted him unconditionally, hesitated unprecedentedly, and tactfully told him that he could check, but not too much.
"Elder Xu did a lot of earth-shattering things back then."
Chen Ji did not answer directly, but said such a sentence.
When the rest of the people heard this, they were silent.
That is true.
Xu Shi was not an ordinary person back then, and the Tianjiao Holy Son who killed him was also a member of the Heaven Survey Mansion in Beijun.
Even if the Heaven Survey Mansion is inside, it can only be regarded as a poor level of power!
"I really don't know about Ning'er, and I don't know what you lost." Xu Shi said flatly.
When Chen Ji heard this, his face was sarcastic:
"Elder Xu has no evidence, if I am sent away by your words, how can the governor deal with it?"
Hearing this, Xu Shi was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Ji and said:
"If Ji Xiuming doesn't believe it, let him come to me himself."
Ji Xiuming is the governor of the North County Heaven Survey Mansion.
The fifth is the overhaul of the Tribulation Realm.
"It's up to you to ......"
Chen Ji stopped abruptly halfway through his words.
He wanted to say, clean up your three-stage minor repair, and still need our governor to come out and see you by name, who are you?
Yes, the existence of the fifth realm, with the movement of your fingers, this entire Taoist temple may be gone, and no one can resist it.
But when he saw the middle-aged man's serious look, and the governor's entrustment before leaving, Chen Ji suddenly fell silent.
"Farewell."
After pondering for a long time, the young man's face turned ugly, and without saying anything more, he turned around and left decisively.
The old woman above wanted to say something, but Xu Shi glanced at her, and immediately shrank back in fear.
Then, Xu Shi looked down at Li Hu with a calm expression:
"Even if you're not a golden bone, I'll save you."
Li Hu looked at the man in front of him, swallowed his Adam's apple, and wanted to thank him, but saw Xu Shi then turn around and said calmly:
"In another ten days, on the first day of my view, I will take the people of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace back to the Taoist Temple to visit."
"At that time, a disciple will be selected to practice in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace."
Bang!
This news was like thunder on the ground, igniting the audience, and all the disciples were in ecstasy, even the Supreme Elder was shocked, obviously none of them knew the news.
Only Xu Shi knows.
"Everyone, be diligent and encouraging."
After speaking, Xu Shi turned around and left, leaving only the outer and inner doors of the peak and the enthusiastic discussions of countless miscellaneous disciples.
But, what no one knows.
Unlike those disciples, Li Hu's ears heard a word that no one else had heard.
"Tomorrow at noon, go to Tianhai Peak to find me, and there is still a place for the personal transmission."
When Li Hu heard this, his head buzzed.
The tall boy lowered his head, the corners of his eyes were a little moist and a little excited.
Because from today.
He Li Hu, in the cultivation world.
There are also backers.
……
……
Xiushan, somewhere in the forest.
"Great, it won't be long before I reach the Bronze Bone!"
Just after noon, the sun was shining, and Ji Ning was sitting cross-legged on a flat stone, his eyes closed, and his whole body exuded a fierce aura.
The aura was violent, and it invaded the body along the pores, as if the bone marrow had been ignited, frantically refining the bones as tough as willows, Ji Ning clenched his teeth, his whole body was hot and red, and he didn't say a word.
After a long time.
"Whew!"
Ji Ning exhaled a long breath of white air, got up like sweat rain, jumped into the big ding that had been burned a long time ago, and soaked in the medicinal bath.
The water in the Ding is boiled hot, and the medicinal materials in it are all strong, which has great nutritional value for the flesh, and at the same time can also have the effect of quenching, and it is also put into the inner pill of the demon beast.
The flesh has just been tempered, and the pores are just about to open up.
A bubbling and violent medicinal power, accompanied by the barbaric aura in the demon pill, kept pouring into Ji Ning's body, refining the flesh for the second time, and immediately distorted Ji Ning's painful face, and subconsciously wanted to jump out of the ding, but he couldn't hold back.
Over time.
Ji Ning could feel that the willow bones in his body were slowly transforming, and his strength seemed to be improving, and he gradually adapted to the strength of this tempered body, and his expression gradually became calm, only his brows kept frowning.
Until, after a stick of incense.
"Whew!"
Ji Ning finished quenching, breathed a long sigh of relief, and jumped out of the medicine tripod directly, his expression was radiant, and his breath was violent.
The boy was smiling.
He could feel that his strength had improved again, but he didn't know what level it was at.
"Now I, I should have no problem fighting against the ordinary bronze bone demon, and the iron bone should also have the strength to fight, as for the silver bone ......"
Thinking of this, Ji Ning smacked his lips, a little excited.
His physical body was already stronger than ordinary people, and now it was making rapid progress, he wanted to know what level he was at, and whether he could fight with Silver Bone?
At this time, a slender girl with a small green sword came out of the bushes in the distance, which was none other than Ye Yu of the Heavenly Survey.
"It's over so soon?" Ye Yuxiao's face was stained with a trace of blood, she looked at Ji Ning suspiciously, threw over a cloth bag, and asked:
"Have you survived three breaths in a medicated bath?"
When Ji Ning heard this, his smile stiffened, and he said with a black line on his face: "Miss Ye, please have some confidence in me, I only came out after soaking the water cold!" ”
"So powerful, breaking through the realm?"
"Nope."
"But I think I can outshine the average iron bone."
Ji Ning smiled, his delicate little face full of confidence.
He took the cloth bag and opened it to see that it was full of the inner dan of some demon beasts.
It had been three days since he killed the Blood Lingzhi that night and took the opportunity to take the Sage's physical body.
In the past three days, he and Ye Yu have been together, refining their bodies while cultivating their voices.
Ye Yu's recovery speed was much faster than him, so it didn't take long for him to volunteer to hunt demon beasts and take Neidan for him to practice.
"Thank you, Miss Ye!"
Ji Ning saluted.
Counting these seven Neidan, he now has more than thirty, which is enough to use for a long time.
"Your progress is really fast."
After a simple fight, Ye Yu was a little surprised.
A few days ago, Ji Ning couldn't survive three moves under her body alone, but now she can survive thirty moves, and her strength is much greater, and even the speed of aura flow has accelerated.
But obviously, Ji Ning has not broken through any realm, he is still the lowest willow bone.
"Concession." Ji Ning clenched his fists and smiled, Ye Yu has helped him a lot these days, and he can't repay him for the time being.
"After I take care of everything, I will definitely go to the Heaven Survey Mansion to find you."
"As soon as I say it, I won't go anywhere, just wait for you to repay the favor."
Ye Yu also smiled slightly, looking into the distance, with a faint look in his expression.
It's been almost a month since she went into the mountains to investigate the case, but she didn't even see the figure of the fugitive, but she unexpectedly got a lot of opportunities and got acquainted with Ji Ning.
Now that their injuries have healed, it's time to separate.
There are still some reluctance.
Ye Yu's mind was chaotic, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he forcibly suppressed it and said:
"Finally, I will take you to kill a big demon."
"Three miles away from here, there is a second-stage buffalo demon, you try to hunt him yourself, let me see, if you can't hold me up, let me see what level you belong to now."
"No problem."
Ji Ning smiled heartily and agreed without any hesitation, being able to fight against the second-stage demon under protection was an unavoidable opportunity.
What's more, he was really curious about what level his strength belonged to.
"Come with me."
Ye Yu's voice was calm, he turned around and walked into a dense forest, followed by Ji Ning.
After a while, Ji Ning heard the sound of gurgling water.
In the cave behind the spring, there is a black buffalo, with huge iron hooves like a grinding plate, long horns like hooks, and huge demon eyes tightly closed, enjoying sleep very comfortably, obviously not yet perceiving the coming danger.
