Chapter 262, there are gains and losses
The subsequent story, even if Zuo Xiutong doesn't say it, Xiao Mo can guess one or two.
But Zuo Xiutong still said it.
Although the Starlight Dragon Rope is an ancient spirit soldier with a very big background, it has been stained with countless blood in the hands of Zuo Xiutong's father, and has been called a murder weapon and a forbidden weapon since then.
After Master Zhongli Danshi brought Zuo Xiutong back to the Taoist Palace, there was a relationship between Zuo's father and his life-saving grace, so he naturally loved Zuo Xiutong in every way and cultivated him well.
But because Zuo Xiutong has experienced such a change, her temperament has become extremely withdrawn and indifferent, and she is very blunt and isolated in dealing with people, even if she does not deliberately offend people, she still secretly makes many people have opinions in their hearts.
Later, seven or eight disciples of the inner courtyard of the Taoist Palace had a conflict with her, and even polluted Zuo Xiutong's deceased parents, saying that she was the daughter of the devil, fatherless, motherless, and uneducated.
This incident caused a lot of turmoil in the Zhidao Palace at that time, and it caused trouble in Fengji Hall, and in the end, it was Zhongli Danshi, who had been promoted to alchemy master at that time, who interceded, and Zuo Xiutong was exempted from punishment.
However, although Zuo Xiutong was able to get away with the crime, the top management of the Daoist Palace took into account that the Starlight Dragon Rope was too powerful, and the ordinary inner court disciples could not be Zuo Xiutong's opponent at all, if she used this weapon indiscriminately, she was afraid that the entire Daoist Palace would be in trouble.
So under the compromise, Zuo Xiutong was indeed acquitted, but the premise that she could be acquitted was that she was forced to swear that she would not easily use the Starlight Dragon Rope as a weapon unless she had to.
In order to show the ban, she must wrap the starlight dragon rope with a layer of linen cloth on weekdays. If the sackcloth is not dispersed, it means that the seal has not been broken, and once the sackcloth is broken, it means that she has violated the prohibition and will go to the Fengjitang to be punished.
Hearing this, Xiao Mo somewhat understood, after Zhongli Danshi saw Zuo Xiutong using the Starlight Dragon Rope, the reason why she had to enter the Lingwu Mountain Range immediately with Xiao Mo seemed to be not only to soothe her mood, but more importantly, to protect her from the discipline of the Xue Palace Fengji Hall.
It's just that he estimated that he never expected that Zuo Xiutong and Xiao Mo entered the mountain together, and they did avoid being investigated by Feng Jitang in a short period of time, but they caused a bigger turmoil.
Together with Xiao Mo, she teamed up to kill one of the seven deputy mountain masters of the Daoist Palace, the disciple of Ye Maha, the 'Vimo Master', and four apprentices of Zhongli Danshi were killed at the same time, which can be called a big storm.
After they go back, the two of them will inevitably be investigated by Feng Jitang, and this matter is much more serious than when they just used the Starlight Dragon Rope to defeat Jing Qianxing, Yi Hongxue and others.
However, it has happened, and the two have no regrets. Since we have encountered it, we must always face it, and since we have faced it, we should have expected this kind of result, and it is something that no one can avoid.
Therefore, all the two can think about now is how to solve this matter, and as for the impact of this matter, they are helpless and can only minimize it.
The breeze is light, time seems to stop at this moment, the world is silent, the two sit side by side on this bluestone to enjoy the mountains, forests and lakes in front of them, rainbow clouds and mist, only to feel that their hearts have never been so peaceful at this moment.
I don't know how long it took, until the rainbow dissipated in the distance and the night began to cover the earth, the two suddenly woke up, raised their heads, and glanced at each other.
They only felt that during the time just now, the two of them were immersed in a very strange situation, as if their hearts were connected to each other, and only themselves were left in heaven and earth, and there were no other external objects to disturb them.
However, the warm moment is only for a while, and soon, the real dilemma is in front of the two, and how to solve the impact of this matter is their top priority next.
Thinking of this, even with the wisdom of Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong, they couldn't help but have a deep headache, knowing that this matter was not trivial, they couldn't help frowning.
"Forget it. ”
After a while, Xiao Mo took the lead in shaking his head, giving up his chaotic thoughts, and said to Zuo Xiutong: "Senior Sister Zuo, it's useless to think too much, the soldiers will block, and the water will flood, anyway, they will do it to us first, even if it makes trouble in Fengjitang, we have something to say." ”
"Good. ”
Although Zuo Xiutong knew that this matter was by no means as easy as Xiao Mo said, when he saw that Xiao Mo said something interesting, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and the sadness on his face really dissipated a lot.
The two of them didn't care about this matter anymore, and before thinking about the countermeasures to face Feng Jitang, the two of them actually had one thing to do, that is, to sort out what they had gained and distribute the items.
Xiao Mo said: "Let's calculate the losses and gains separately first, and distribute the things!"
"Good. ”
Zuo Xiutong had no choice but to say, and the two of them started immediately, starting with the calculation of losses.
In this battle, Xiao Mo and Zuo Xiutong gained a lot, but in terms of losses, they were also very heavy.
The first is Xiao Mo, he counts the two big hole cards, the shadow return one needle and the explosive blood ball are all lost in this battle, the retreat shadow is one needle by Xiao Shenjian with the method of refining blood and turning the gang to refine and disappear, and the explosive blood ball is also used by Xiao Mo at the last moment, which means that from now on, these two big hole cards are no longer there.
Xiao Mo's true combat power has dropped sharply.
Calculate it, now in his hands, except for a Xuanhuo Ding, a Ten Thousand Peanut Return Recipe, which can be regarded as a useful means, the rest are lackluster.
And these two major means, Xuanhuo Ding is the thing of Yu Qing Medicine, and sooner or later it will have to be returned, and the recipe for the return of all things is only in the middle of the entry, the realm is not high, and it is inconvenient to openly reveal it, which is equivalent to these two major means, in fact, they will also be greatly reduced.
In terms of attack, Xiao Mo is really lackluster, although there is still a void-level high-grade Ice Xuan Finger and a virtual-level top-grade Ice Jade Xuanwang Palm.
But the Ice Jade Xuanwang Palm is actually the same as the Ten Thousand Peanut Return Recipe, and it is also not suitable to be exposed to people, and even in a certain aspect, the Ice Jade Xuanwang Palm is not even as good as the Ten Thousand Peanut Return Recipe.
The Ten Thousand Peanuts Recipe can also be used secretly, as long as it is not discovered. But the Ice Jade Xuanwang Palm is not good, the characteristics are too obvious, once used, it is equivalent to deliberately making people recognize, that is not looking for death.
And the Bing Xuan Finger is Xiao Mo's most commonly used attack heart element technique, but with the improvement of Xiao Mo's status and realm, he also found that when he was in the outer courtyard, the Ice Xuan Finger, which was still a stunt, actually couldn't keep up with the times.
At the level of the inner court disciples, what is generally used is the spirit level of the lower grade heart element technique, at the very least, it is also the virtual level of the best, and even some Tianjiao disciples directly have the spirit level of the middle grade heart element technique.
The difference in rank, reflected in the power, is a world of difference.
At least Xiao Mo knew that even if he practiced the Ice Xuan Finger and practiced it to the peak perfection realm, it would be impossible for the power to exceed the spirit level lower grade heart element technique, and it would be a waste of time to do so.
Today's battle with Xiao Shenjian made him understand that he was indeed far inferior to others in terms of heart yuan skills. Looking at the power of Xiao Shenjian's Yuan Spirit Sword Qi, it was really earth-shattering, and his Dacheng Bingxuan Finger was nothing in front of him.
Therefore, instead of going to great lengths to raise the realm of the Ice Xuan Finger to the Consummation Realm, it is better to spend some merit and exchange for one or two Spirit-level Lower Heart Yuan Techniques, even if it is just to cultivate them to a small or even a large success, it is much stronger than the Ice Xuan Finger of the Consummation Realm.
Therefore, it has become imperative to increase the means of attack and improve the level of attack heart element skills. This is another big problem that Xiao Mo has to face after returning to the Daoist Palace.
However, although the two major hole cards are consumed, Xiao Mo feels that it is still worth it to successfully kill Xiao Shenjian.
It's just a pity that Xiao Mo always has a vague feeling in his heart, feeling that Xiao Shenjian is not so easy to die, if he dies, it will be considered a gain, but if he doesn't die, it will be a loss.
However, anyway, in the face of that kind of crisis at that time, Xiao Mo had no other means than exploding blood balls.
In order to protect himself, and successfully capture the blood spirit stone milk and escape, that was the only thing Xiao Mo could do, so thinking about it like this, Xiao Mo also felt that there was nothing worth feeling sorry for.
Get what you want, make the best use of it, isn't this what he thought when he bought the Shadow Gui One Needle and the Blood Burst at that time?
In addition, not only Xiao Mo has suffered losses, in fact, in this battle, Zuo Xiutong also has some losses, but it is not as heavy as Xiao Mo.
First of all, her Starlight Dragon Rope was hard connected to the Yuan Ling Sword of Xiao Shenjian in its peak state, and it seemed that it was a little sluggish and damaged, and it took time to repair.
However, Xiao Mo believed that with the identity of the Starlight Dragon Rope as a suspected ground-level weapon, even if it withstood the Yuan Ling Sword Qi sword, it would definitely not be really injured, and it was estimated that as long as it was given a period of time, it would soon recover.
So that's not a loss at all.
The real loss was her special weapon, the Divine Bronze Crossbow.
