"Okay, then you can go. But if you're like this, it's better to wash up and change your clothes before you go. ”

Qiao Xiu said that he would go down to find Ling Junzi, and Yang Ye naturally had no opinion.

To be honest, the difference in strength is there, let him get along or communicate with Ling Junzi, even if Wang Dong and He Youcai are by their side, they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable or even uneasy.

This is the instinctive reaction of the weak to the strong, especially when the two sides are not familiar with each other.

And here, only Qiao Xiu is qualified to talk to each other on an equal footing.

Of course, Yang Ye has also thought about those follow-up things, but how to talk about it and how to persuade the other party is still up to Qiao Xiu himself.

However, seeing that Qiao Xiu was only wearing a pair of shorts on his body, and there were blood stains and dust from the wounds left by the battle just now, Yang Ye couldn't help but remind him.

"Okay, I got it. ”

Qiao Xiu also knew that he was a little embarrassed now, nodded and answered, and then entered Yang Zhen's office.

Yang Zhen's office is not only large enough, but also has a variety of facilities, and naturally has an independent bathroom.

"It's okay, it's still there. ”

After entering, Qiao Xiu opened a locker next to him and found that the items he had stored inside, including his mobile phone wallet, and some clothes he had brought before, were still there, and he was secretly relieved.

The reason why the mobile wallet was left outside and not carried with him was because there was no electronic communication signal in the underground secret room of the inheritance scroll, and Qiao Xiu had learned the lesson that he would definitely explode in every battle before, so he took it out before entering the retreat.

Although these things are not very valuable in total, they have been lost and damaged several times in the past while, and it is always a bit troublesome to damage them again.

Especially for mobile phones and extraordinary ID cards, if the former is lost or damaged, parents, relatives and friends will not be able to contact them in time, and they will inevitably worry. The latter needs to go to the official in person to reissue it.

"It seems that when they came, they mainly wanted to seek revenge on us, but they were not in a hurry to destroy and loot the objects here. No, if they succeeded, they would probably have searched before leaving, but unfortunately, the demons were around, and these people would have died in advance......"

Qiao Xiu picked up the phone and turned it on, thinking of Ye Gu and a group of people who died in the hands of Hei Tian.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank that demon, if he hadn't solved these people in advance and let them rush up, our side really didn't have much chance of winning......"

When he turned on his phone, another thought flashed in Qiao Xiu's heart.

"It seems that no one is looking for me, yes, it's ...... in the middle of the night."

After turning on the phone, Qiao Xiu looked at the phone records and social software, and found that no one was looking for him, and he felt normal when he thought about it.

After all, he had already told his parents that he would stay in the martial arts hall for the past two days to concentrate on practicing boxing.

And before yesterday's retreat, he had already called home in advance to tell his parents that he needed to retreat and might not be able to use his mobile phone for half a day.

Even if they wanted to ask about the situation, it was estimated that they had called the senior brother last night.

"I'll see, it's only five o'clock and less than six o'clock, my parents should still be up, forget it, I'll call them when I come out......

Looking at the time, in order not to disturb his parents' rest, Qiao Xiu did not rush to call back.

Moreover, the matter of the martial arts hall has been resolved for the time being, and when it is negotiated with Ling Junzi, you can also go home first.

Putting the phone down, Qiao Xiu picked up a set of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

"This broken pattern, evil and evil, I am really not used to it......"

In the shower, Qiao Xiu carefully scrubbed his body up and down several times, rubbing off a thick layer of dirt.

These dirts include the impurities discharged from his body when he broke through, and the blood sludge and dirt formed by the blood stains on his hands in the fight behind him.

The fight just now added at least ten traumatic wounds to Qiao Xiu's body.

Some of them were long strip-like wounds cut by Ling Junzi with the Spirit Slashing Sword, and some of them were scratches left by Black Sky Claws.

Fortunately, compared to the internal injuries caused by the shock impact of the aura and demonic qi invasion, these external injuries were not very serious, and under the dual effects of Qiao Xiu's immortal body's powerful physique and the fighting qi in his body, most of them had already begun to scab.

After cleaning, Qiao Xiu only felt a burst of comfort all over his body, and even the discomfort caused by the internal injuries in his body seemed to be alleviated a little.

However, looking at the prototype pattern on his right wrist, his mood instantly became unhappy.

"I don't know if Ling Junzi doesn't know anything about this, you can ask him about the situation later. ”

Qiao Xiu remembered that Ling Junzi, who was dressed in ancient costume, seemed to be from a secret world, and he had an idea in his heart.

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Qiao Xiu's fighting spirit turned, and the water on his body was instantly evaporated, and then he got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, and walked directly towards the entrance of the underground secret room.

In fact, Qiao Xiu, who had only recovered sixty percent of his state before, should continue to heal now.

However, in order to solve the follow-up troubles as soon as possible, as well as the doubts caused by the strange patterns on his body, he still decided to talk to Ling Junzi first.

Because the entrance to the underground secret room passage had been completely destroyed by Ling Junzi with spells and spirit slashing swords, it saved Qiao Xiu the effort to open the door by himself.

After entering, all the way down, unimpeded, and the corpses in the middle of the passage were also removed and disposed of by Yang Ye.

"Are you still healing?"

Soon, Qiao Xiu came to the door of the underground secret room.

Looking at Ling Junzi, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and motionless, Qiao Xiu did not rush in or open his mouth to disturb, but stood silently in place, watching the other party wait quietly.

"This Lingjunzi looks like a spiritual immortal cultivator in the legend, and the force is quite high. ”

Looking at the nine-colored aura flashing around the other party's body, Qiao Xiu remembered the other party's fighting style and cultivation style, and gave a definition based on his previous cognition.

In the field of spiritual cultivation and immortal cultivation, many times it is considered to be a relatively advanced way of cultivation.

Some people will think that they are superior to cultivation methods such as martial arts and body training. But in reality, it's not.

Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between high and low cultivation methods in essence, such as spiritual cultivation, immortal cultivation, martial cultivation, and physical cultivation, but the starting point and focus of cultivation are different.

No matter how different each of the cultivation methods and systems that can point directly to the Great Dao, most of them will end up on the same path.

"If you classify it according to the game, this guy should belong to the mage warlock, right? But he can also fight hand-to-hand, it's not very crispy, he can be regarded as a melee mage, a melee tactician......"

Thinking about it, Qiao Xiu couldn't help but use the rules of the game to define Ling Junzi.

"Hey, melee mage, melee tactician, although a little weird, but it is indeed powerful enough, if it weren't for my thick flesh and blood, and with the blessing of fist intent, I really wouldn't be his opponent......"

Thinking of the previous fight, Qiao Xiu also had to admire the strength of a close tactician like Ling Junzi.

Of course, in general, he is superior.

It also made him more determined in his spiritual path.

Warriors are his pursuit, and he wants to become the kind of invincible warrior who has no shortcomings and is strong enough in all aspects.

Invincible fist intent, stick to the divine soul, and break all spiritual attacks.

Invincible fighting spirit, let you have thousands of spells, I will break it with one punch and one sword.

An invincible body that defends against all physical attacks and does not move.

These are Qiao Xiu's pursuits.

Of course, the road is long, and he is still 108,000 miles away from this realm.

It's just that there is such a seed of faith in my heart, as long as I pursue it tirelessly, there will always be a chance to achieve it.

......

"Looks like he's not going to be able to finish the ...... so soon"

Standing there and waiting for half an hour, Qiao Xiu found that the nine-colored aura around Ling Junzi was becoming more and more active, and the aura emanating from the inside out was getting stronger and stronger.

But compared to the previous peak state, it is still far from the previous peak state.

And looking at his posture, he didn't end his luck so quickly.

Simply, Qiao Xiu didn't want to wait, he gently walked into the underground secret room, and then sat down cross-legged away from Ling Junzi, and began to use the fighting qi in his body to regulate pranayama.

"Well, is this guy starting to heal too? That's just right, I don't have to stop in a hurry. ”

When Qiao Xiu used his fighting qi to pull the free energy around him, the mind of Ling Junzi over there also sensed it.

In fact, at the moment when Qiao Xiu arrived, he had already sensed it.

After all, it is impossible to be completely isolated from the outside world in an unfamiliar place, so you must always keep a trace of vigilance.

It's just that after sensing Qiao Xiu's breath, he put his mind at ease.

Originally, he planned to refine the power of the sect's healing elixir he had just taken as soon as possible, and then end the healing, so as not to make Qiao Xiu wait too long.

But now that he saw that Qiao Xiu had also begun to heal his injuries, he was not in a hurry.

Previously, he had used the secret technique to stimulate his potential, and then devoured half of the Berserk Pill, Ling Junzi's body had already been a mess, if it weren't for the fact that he had laid a very solid foundation since childhood, he might have been half-useless now.

In this case, if you want to recover completely, even with the assistance of the sect's healing elixir, it will take quite a while.

So for him, it's a point to be able to recover now.

In this way, the two did not interfere with each other, and each entered a state of healing.

Time passed in a quiet atmosphere, minute by minute.

"You're awake!"

"You're awake!"

Two hours later, the two opened their eyes at the same time and watched each other say something in unison.

"Hahaha!"

Then they both laughed at the same time.

"Well, how are you recovering?"

Standing up and walking over, Qiao Xiu asked first.

After all, compared to him, Ling Junzi's injuries were obviously more serious.

"Well, it's okay, but it's going to take a bit of effort to fully recover. What about you? Little Crane just sent me a message saying that you have destroyed that monster, no accident, right?"

Ling Junzi had obviously changed his clothes as well, and now he was wearing a brand new set of ancient costume robes, which looked like he had regained his previous demeanor, but his slightly pale face made his plump and handsome appearance slightly discounted.

"Well, fortunately, the monster has been beheaded. However, when his soul blew himself up, he left a mark on me, and I was just about to ask you, Brother Ling, about this. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Xiu did not hesitate to ask the biggest doubt in his heart.

And in politeness and friendliness, he also changed his name.

"Oh, where is the sigil? Show me. ”

When Ling Junzi heard this, his expression froze, and he leaned over with a serious face.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiu hurriedly stretched out his right hand and displayed the pattern on his wrist in front of his eyes.

"What's the matter, Brother Ling, do you recognize such a pattern?"

Ling Junzi stared at the pattern for several seconds and didn't speak, Qiao Xiu couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Qiao, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a soul tracking mark. ”

Ling Junzi heard Qiao Xiu's question, and continued to look at it for two seconds before answering with a little uncertainty.

"In our world, similar imprints like this are not uncommon, and they are often left on the other person for easy tracking. The person who has been planted with the mark can be perceived as long as it appears within a certain range. It seems that the monster is either not completely dead, or it still has companions. ”

Immediately after, Ling Junzi told his guess.

"Soul tracking sigils, do you recognize the two characters on this sigil?"

Hearing Ling Junzi say that this was a soul tracking mark, Qiao Xiu was not surprised.

After all, this thing was left in his soul space after the Black Sky Soul blew itself up, and this thing has not had any adverse effects on him so far.

Combined with the conjecture that the monster in the black sky is not dead, or that there are companions of the same kind alive, it makes sense.

Compared to this, he is more concerned with the specific meaning of the two characters on the imprint.

If you can figure this out, you might be able to figure out where that monster came from.

"Well, I'm sorry, there are so many characters in the world, and I don't recognize these two characters. However, they are somewhat similar to some of the Hive characters I've seen. If I'm not mistaken, there's a good chance that these two characters are the names of the monster's race. ”

Like Xiaohui, Ling Junzi only felt that these two words were familiar, but he didn't understand the specific meaning.

However, he gave a very reliable guess.

"That's ......"

Seeing that Ling Junzi couldn't recognize the meaning of these two characters, Qiao Xiu was inevitably a little disappointed.

"That, Brother Ling, this soul tracking mark is left on the body, but what other harm is there besides being tracked by perception?

Disappointment flashed, and Qiao Xiu then asked.

"As far as I know, soul tracking sigils generally only have a tracking effect and have no other purpose. If you want to clear it, either the other party will solve it yourself, or you will completely kill the other party. But if this is left by the other party before he dies, he can only ask someone with high cultivation to help refine it, or forcibly eliminate it after his own cultivation breaks through to a certain realm. ”

In the face of Qiao Xiu's questioning, Ling Junzi did not hide anything, and told all the information he knew about the soul tracking mark.

"Okay, I see, then leave it alone. Now that your injuries are under control, let's talk about something else. ”

After listening to Ling Junzi's explanation, Qiao Xiu knew that he couldn't remove the mark on his hand for the time being, so he simply didn't care about it anymore.

Anyway, no matter whether the other party is still alive or has other companions, if they dare to find them, they will be destroyed.

Looking at the other party's appearance, it doesn't look like a person with any strong backers, so you don't have to worry about beating the small one and coming to the old one.

Even Qiao Xiu personally preferred the other party, but he was lucky enough to have a back hand and escaped.

In this case, he was seriously injured compared to his soul by blowing himself up, and it was not so easy to meet again.

When he recovers his strength again, he will come to the door, and he may have a breakthrough in his cultivation.

I have to say that all the way to the present, Qiao Xiu, who has several powerful inheritances, is quite confident in his cultivation.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

As soon as Qiao Xiu spoke, Ling Junzi had actually guessed what the other party wanted to ask, but he still made a look and waited for the following.

"Well, it's about reconciling with your junior brother Ye Liangchen and the Ye family, as well as Liang Hao's kidnapping of my three senior brothers and sisters. ”

Qiao Xiu didn't beat around the bush, and said it straight to the point.

"Wait, it's easy to talk about the previous matter, you said that Liang Hao kidnapped your three senior brothers and sisters? I don't know about this, and my junior brother didn't mention it to me before I came. ”

Hearing this, Ling Junzi's face became a little ugly.

Before coming, Ye Liangchen just told him that his subordinate Liang Hao was the son of the former head of the Eight Desolations Martial Arts Pavilion, and he left the Eight Desolations Martial Arts Pavilion after failing to compete for the position of head that year, and recently wanted to go back to regain everything he lost, but he still failed, and he was also trapped in the Eight Desolations Martial Arts Pavilion.

For this kind of internal dispute in the sect, Ling Junzi felt that it was difficult to tell right and wrong, and he didn't study it in detail, and when he heard that there was such a young master as Qiao Xiu in the Eight Desolation Martial Arts Pavilion, he was curious for a while, and wanted to see it, so he took the initiative to invite Ying over.

He didn't know that Liang Hao's character was so despicable, and he did the kidnapping of hostages.

Thinking about it further, if Ye Liangchen also knew these things, but concealed them and didn't tell him, wouldn't he be using him as a gun?

He was born in a cultivation family, and he is a disciple of the sect, although he has little life experience, he is not a fool.

Especially after fighting with Qiao Xiu and fighting side by side against the enemy, Ling Junzi already has a little understanding of his character.

In his opinion, whether it was Qiao Xiu or several other people in the Eight Desolation Martial Arts Pavilion, they were all the kind of people who could be trusted and interacted with.

Compared with the two, even if you haven't seen Liang Hao, it is not difficult to guess the other party's character.

"It seems that Senior Brother Ye Liangchen is not as simple as I imagined......"

Knowing that Ye Liangchen may have hidden something from him, and then thinking of Ye Liangchen as the eldest son heir of a worldly family, Ling Junzi originally had a huge favor because he came out last time and was rescued by Ye Liangchen, and he couldn't help but get a discount.

"Brother Ling, this is true, it was admitted by Liang Hao himself when he first came to the gym to kick the gym. That's why I took people down after defeating him. ”

Qiao Xiu didn't know that Ling Junzi's thoughts had changed so much, he just told the truth so that the other party could believe it.

"Well, Qiao Xiu's personality, I still believe it. I'm sorry, but I didn't know the truth of the matter before I came, and I caused you trouble. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter myself when I get back. If your three senior brothers and sisters are still in the hands of Liang Hao's people, I will let them obediently take the initiative to release them. Also, I will ask my junior brother and their Ye family not to trouble your Eight Desolation Martial Arts Pavilion in the future. I think he'll give me this face. ”

Speaking of which, Ling Junzi naturally would not refuse Qiao Xiu's request.

These are actually the bets they made before the fight, and he lost the fight, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.
