Chapter 58: The Most Sacred Ritual of Covenant
"Whether she has learned her master's skills or not is a matter of the Sword Immortal Sect, what are you bothering about?"
A kind voice with a bit of majesty came from a distance, and a moment later, an old man with snow-white long beards and a long beard flowing from the sky fell from the sky, just in the middle of Xiu Wannian and Xiaoman.
When Xiao Man and Xiu Wannian saw this person, they couldn't help but put away their tense posture and respectfully saluted the old man. Not only the two of them, but even all the people who were still awake in the viewing area also stood up and bowed deeply to the old man together.
This old man Fang Yuan also knew him, it was none other than the head of the Xiu clan, the Jindan Immortal, and the old man of Xiu Yunnan. Since Xiao Man had all saluted, Fang Yuan naturally wouldn't stand stupidly, dragging his tired body and giving a big salute.
Although Xiu Wannian was already the vice president of the Central Federation of the Land and Water Chamber of Commerce, he did not dare to slack off in front of the ancestor of the Xiu family, who had lived for more than two hundred years. He deliberately lowered his voice a little to show respect, and said, "Ancestor, why did this little matter still alarm you?"
Xiu Yunnan smiled slightly, quite a bit like a fairy wind bone, and said, "What is a trivial matter? Is it small for Tianze to be seriously injured by unruly behavior? Or is it a small matter for the three coaching elders to blindly protect their shortcomings and almost cause a war with the Sword Immortal Sect?"
"This ......" Xiu Wannian's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he hurriedly bowed deeply, "It's Wannian's improper disposal, which makes the ancestor worry, Wannian should be punished!"
Xiu Yunnan sighed slightly, patted Xiu Wannian lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Wannian, everything must have a degree." I know that you have been obsessed with Tianyu's affairs. But spoiling and indulging children too much will only hurt them in the end!"
As soon as he heard the word "Tianyu", Xiu Wannian's face twitched slightly, and he bowed deeply to Xiu Yunnan again, and said: "What the ancestor taught is that Wannian is confused!"
Xiu Yunnan came to Xiaoman's face, handed over the two gourds, one large and one small, to Xiaoman's hands, nodded the big gourd with his hand, and said, "This is the elixir that your master entrusted me to help refine, it has just been baked, and there are a lot of them." Then he nodded on the small gourd, "This is some healing and nourishing elixir, which is very beneficial to your apprentice's injury, and it is a little bit of my heart." The old cultivator has made amends to your master and apprentice, and I hope that the little girl will not hold a grudge. ”
Xiao Man hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "Don't dare to be! Elder Xiu, you will torment us, how dare we hate you! This matter is a misunderstanding in the final analysis, and I have to ...... you for my momentary recklessness and Uncle Xiu to make amends. ”
Saying that, Xiao Man pulled Fang Yuan, and the two of them bowed deeply to Xiu Wannian together, and said, "Uncle Xiu, it was Xiao Man who was not strict in disciplining his apprentice and collided with you. We hereby solemnly apologize to you, and hope that you have a lot of them!"
Xiu Wannian's face was a little ugly, it was true that he felt sorry for his son, but he also knew that he was really ignoring what he was doing. Now that people have apologized in advance, if they hold on to it again, not only will they be stingy, but they will not be able to explain it to their ancestors. So he waved his hand, sighed and said, "That's it, I have something wrong, just let it pass." ”
With a wave of Xiu Wannian's big hand, several staff members ran over, and he pointed at Fang Yuan and said, "Carry this little brother down to heal!"
Fang Yuan had actually already reached his limit, but he couldn't embarrass his master in this situation, right? As soon as he saw that the staff had brought the stretcher, he was no longer polite and poured it directly.
After returning to the room, Fang Yuan finally let down his guard completely, and the tingling pain and irresistible fatigue all over his body instantly eroded him. Thanks to the aura that Xiaoman injected into him at that time, if it was only willpower, it is estimated that he would have been unconscious.
Fang Yuan slept for three days and three nights, but when he woke up, he found that the person guarding him was not Xiao Man, it was Mo Ziqi!
"Why are you?" Fang Yuan wondered, "What about my master?"
Mo Ziqi pushed his glasses upwards and said, "I probably calculated it, I guess you're about to wake up, so let her go to the kitchen to ask for something to eat first." Your body was very consumed before, and you will definitely feel very hungry when you wake up. ”
Before Mo Ziqi's words fell, Fang Yuan's stomach came with a "gurgling" sound. People with high IQs were really terrifying, and in her eyes, Fang Yuan felt like a transparent person.
"No, how can my master rest assured that I am in a coma and entrusted to you to take care of me?"
Mo Ziqi said: "It's very simple, I told her that someone might want to assassinate you, and if she didn't personally supervise the food, it was likely to be poisoned." ”
Black lines suddenly appeared on Fang Yuan's face, this girl's methods are too hardcore, right?
"If you dare to make this kind of joke, aren't you afraid that my master will know that he will cut you with a sword?"
Mo Ziqi pushed his glasses, handed a small glassware containing an elixir to Fang Yuan, and said, "I'm not kidding, this elixir has been manipulated by someone, if you eat it, you will not die and your aura will be dissipated." ”
Fang Yuan said in disbelief: "How is it possible? This elixir was personally sent by Elder Xiu, how can it be poisonous?"
"I have no reason to lie to you. Mo Ziqi said, "I only found out yesterday, Xiaoman wanted to feed you this pill at that time, but when she went to fetch water, I accidentally saw an ant die when passing by that pill." That's why I became suspicious, and it turned out to be a test when I took it back, and it was really poisonous. ”
Mo Ziqi's words made Fang Yuan suddenly break out in a cold sweat, if Xiao Man fed this pill to himself at that time, the consequences would really be unimaginable! So he took the pill and asked, "The people of the cultivator still want to harm me?"
Mo Ziqi shook his head and said, "It will never be a cultivator, not to mention that the cultivator has always been highly respected, he will never tolerate someone in the cultivator family to do such a thing." Even if the cultivator family really wanted to do something to you, they wouldn't do anything about the pill, because that would tarnish the reputation of their Dan Dao family. And I've also checked other pills, and there are no problems, and they are good tonic for healing. Only this one is poisonous, and I suspect it was secretly put in by someone. ”
A figure suddenly appeared in Fang Yuan's mind, if it wasn't for the Xiu family, then it would be only him.
Mo Ziqi seemed to see something in Fang Yuan's eyes, pushed his glasses, and said, "It's Bai Miao, right? ”
Fang Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "Bai Miao once wanted to put me to death for the sake of profit, but fortunately, my master arrived in time to save me." ”
Mo Ziqi nodded, and said: "I guessed Bai Miao at the time, because I compared that poison, and it is very similar to the Heavenly Yin Returning Void Seed of the Corpse Demon Dao, and it seems that the person who is most likely to get this thing and use it can only be him." ”
Fang Yuan's face suddenly changed, wasn't that the poison he had been in before, so he hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that, how can Bai Miao have something from the Corpse Demon Dao?"
His reaction surprised Mo Ziqi a little, and said, "Isn't this strange? The Leech Daoist is in his hands now, and the Leech Daoist is the junior brother of the Corpse Demon Dao Northern Sect Sect Leader Kutsuka Daoren." ”
Only then did Fang Yuan understand that there was such a hidden relationship that he didn't know, it seemed that his relationship with the Corpse Demon Dao was really deep!
It was already an endless situation between Bai Miao and himself, but he was involved in a corpse demon path again, which gave Fang Yuan a real headache, it seemed that he should indeed find a few more partners for himself.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan glanced at Mo Ziqi in front of him. She'd be a very strong partner, but this girl's IQ is too high. Fang Yuan could never guess what she wanted to do, but she could understand what Fang Yuan's every move meant. This feeling is simply terrible, it is like standing naked in front of her, there is no secret at all!
Mo Ziqi thought for a while, and then said: "But all this is just speculation, we don't have evidence that can be directly pointed at Bai Miao." ”
However, Fang Yuan didn't seem to hear Mo Ziqi's words, and asked in a changing tone: "Actually, I've always had a doubt, why would you want to form an alliance with me if you're so smart?"
Mo Ziqi was silent for a moment, pushed his glasses and said: "Because some crises are destined not to be dealt with by one person, in the face of strong winds and waves, it is difficult for a flat boat to continue, but a hundred boats can walk on the ground, so I need strong allies." In fact, from an analytical point of view, you are not suitable, your knowledge is shallow, your personality is extreme, your ability is unstable, and you are easy to do anything. ”
"Uh......" Fang Yuan was a little embarrassed by her, "Then you still came to me to form a yarn alliance?"
"It's intuition. Mo Ziqi said, "My intuition tells me that you will be a powerful and trustworthy ally. When you looked at me at the banquet that day, I had a wonderful feeling, as if you could see me through at a glance. From then on, I felt that the other factors didn't matter, and that you were the ally I was looking for. ”
Fang Yuan couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, this woman was really terrifying! After such a long time, she was the first person to perceive her Eye of Reality! Fang Yuan finally believed it this time, her brain was really a good thing!
He adjusted his mood and said to Mo Ziqi: "It's okay to form an alliance, and I will definitely be your trusted partner, to tell you the truth, I can't fool you with your IQ." But there is one thing, you must not peep into my secrets, and I will tell you when I feel like I should tell you. This is an iron law, as soon as you cross the line, our relationship will break immediately!"
If she had been in contact with Mo Ziqi too often, Fang Yuan believed that with her IQ, she would definitely discover the secrets of her Eye of Reality and the Mall System. When dealing with people like her, it's better to talk openly and honestly than to be precautionary.
Mo Ziqi's right index finger rested on the bridge of his nose with his glasses, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Yes, if you don't say it, I don't want to." As long as you can give me the necessary help when I need you, I will be your trusted partner. ”
Fang Yuan smiled, stretched out his little thumb to Mo Ziqi and said, "Then let's settle it." ”
Mo Ziqi pushed his glasses suspiciously and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Pull the hook!" Fang Yuan said, "Since it is an agreement, it must be pulled up!
Mo Ziqi didn't seem to be very incomprehensible, but he still let out an "oh", and stretched out a little thumb according to Fang Yuan's appearance, completing this sacred ritual with Fang Yuan.
At this time, there was a "buzzing" sound on a small tea table not far away, it turned out to be Fang Yuan's mobile phone vibrating, and Mo Ziqi went over and gave it to him.
Fang Yuan took it and saw that it was an unfamiliar phone number, and after hesitating for a moment, he still connected.
A sweet and cute, slightly nervous and shy voice suddenly came from the other side of the phone: "Hey...... I'm a friend of Zhang Zhiyi, and I'm in a bit of a hurry and want to trouble you, huh...... Thank you!"
