Chapter 17: Separate Tasks
"Okay, then let me ask again, what about your master?"
"That's good, of course!"
Qingzi heard this: "But I heard that you were forced to leave the sect and travel around at a very young age!"
Huo Fengxing was silent, and his voice lowered, "What you heard is right!"
"If he was really good to you, he wouldn't let you fall into such a situation!"
Huo Fengxing said disapprerovingly: "I understand my position very well, Xiao Bi'an is his son, isn't it a matter of course to be better to his son, I completely understand." So I wasn't exactly forced to go down the mountain, I just didn't want to embarrass him!"
Qingzi said: "So you yourself know that between you and Xiao Bi'an, he will not choose you!"
Huo Fengxing hooked his lips slightly, "Human nature, there is nothing to entangle." ”
"So even if you want your life, you have nothing else to say, right?" Qingzi was still a little tired when he asked this sentence, and he didn't know whether his quality was good or bad.
And Huo Fengxing finally fell silent when he heard this, just one stroke was enough to make Qingzi excited.
Fortunately, this person is not completely hopeless!
Without waiting for him to speak, Qingzi continued: "Have you ever thought that even if you put the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon in the hands of your master, I'm afraid he may not be able to save him!"
Huo Fengxing twisted his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Xiao Bi'an's resentment towards you must not be felt by you!"
Huo Fengxing lowered his head, "I've already let him go, and I won't fight with him for anything." ”
Qingzi smiled, "This is just your wishful thinking! As long as you are here, then you will be a thorn in his side!"
Huo Fengxing didn't speak, and he couldn't find anything to argue with.
Qingzi continued: "You are just an innocent person, and he still has such a big grudge against you, do you think he will have nothing to do with your master?"
Huo Fengxing said in a deep voice: "That's his father!"
Qingzi was noncommittal and hummed coolly.
Huo Fengxing glared at Qingzi angrily, and he could hear how perfunctory her response was.
He said again: "With me here, I won't let him do anything to Master!"
Qingzi smiled slightly, and reminded him ruthlessly: "You are dead, thank you!"
Huo Fengxing: "......"
"You mean I'm going to die before I catch it?" he said, not forgetting to glance at the nine-tailed fox demon with a cool gaze.
Qingzi said: "You might as well use your smart brain to think about it, is it really an accident that the nine-tailed fox demon was released?"
Huo Fengxing's gaze deepened, "What do you mean......"
"I don't know if I wasn't there that day, but I think you can still think about it, after all, with the fame of Wanyang Sect, no one should rush to provoke. ”
Huo Fengxing stopped talking, he didn't know what he was thinking when he lowered his head, and Qingzi didn't care, anyway, he just had to find someone to take the blame.
"That's his father!" Huo Fengxing said after a long time.
Qingzi didn't continue, only smiled and said, "Then you might as well wait, whether it's to hand it over or whatever."
It's Dabi right away, you can wait and see, maybe you can see clearly and have the answer to something. ”
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Qingzi said again: "Sect Master Wanyang's heart has been sick for so many years, and he can still wait for such a little time." Let's do it yourself, I still have something to do, so I'll go first!"
After saying that, she didn't untie the shackles on the fox demon, and left directly.
When she arrived in Jinling, she saw that in addition to Shizun, Ning Yin and Shi Lang were there.
Seeing her come over, Ci Yuehua immediately explained: "When they saw that I was going to inquire about the spirit bead, they took the initiative to stay and help." ”
Ning Yin's eyes flashed and he said, "Yes, and the four of us master and apprentice haven't come out to do the task together." ”
Qingzi smiled slightly and turned his head to Shi Lang, and sincerely congratulated: "Lang Shao, congratulations, you have won the second good ranking." ”
Shi Lang originally wanted to laugh, but when he thought of something, he hid it again, and said unsatisfied: "It's a pity that he lost to Huo Fengxing of Wanyang Sect!"
"Why do you have to be so demanding of yourself, Huo Fengxing's qualifications are not worse than yours, and he is slightly older than you, and you are not ashamed to lose to him. ”
Shi Lang said: "Having said that, I feel suffocated when I think about the arrogant gaze of those Wanyang Sects. ”
Qingzi shook his head and stopped talking, this young man's unwillingness to admit defeat and competitiveness were already very common.
"Okay, let's talk about this mission, I haven't given up investigating the matter of the spirit bead during this time. When I was in the auction house before, I had already asked the treasure connoisseur there, and more than 100 of these spirit beads had been sold there, and the people who bought these spirit beads were all over the place, so we had to act separately when the time came. ”
Ci Yuehua said and took out a map and a list of purchases.
There is no specific person on the list, but an inductive judgment is made based on the person's clothing.
Forty percent of them were sold to the people of the big sects, 50 percent went to the small sects, and the remaining 10 percent went to some scattered cultivators who had no sects and no sects.
Among them, the best thing to deal with is the big sect, as long as the stakes are clarified, and then the list is presented, naturally they can handle it themselves.
It's just that on the list, there is no record of buyers belonging to Kunlun Mountain, and the other four have not escaped.
If such a list is handed over, I am afraid that it will attract tongue and make the other four families suspicious of Kunlun Mountain.
It's okay if it's on the side, but now after letting them see that Kunlun Mountain has hope of rising, then no matter whether this matter has anything to do with Kunlun Mountain or not, in the eyes of those people, they will also focus their suspicious eyes on Kunlun Mountain.
At that time, I will be stared at by so many pairs of eyes, and I am afraid that any small mistake will be infinitely magnified, causing a lot of trouble, and even more seriously, it will lead to burning.
Therefore, these big sects are also the most difficult to deal with at the same time.
Therefore, Ci Yuehua first suppressed this list and didn't talk about it, but took out the map and said: "There is no trace of scattered cultivation on this, I am afraid that when the time comes, I can only look at luck, and now I mainly look at these small sects." ”
"Are the dense dots on here all those small sects?" Shi Lang pointed to the dots on it.
Ci Yuehua nodded.
"I usually don't pay attention to it, but when I look at the map, I find that there are really a lot of these small sects!" Qingzi sighed.
I think that when she took the ghost clan to level those small sects, she didn't find that there were so many sects, and I thought that at that time, they all took refuge in the big sect and were merged.
"Looking at this map, it seems that there are not a few small sects in this Jinling, almost all of them are scattered in other places, Kunlun Mountain, Qingfengmen and Pudu Temple. Hey, there are not a few small sects in the Hanging Pot Cave, these sects are not touched at both ends, and they all run to the three sects in the middle to carve up the territory, which is also strange. Shi Lang suddenly spoke.
A few people saw that it was really like this, but Qingzi didn't feel any surprise but said: "It's normal that there are few sects in Jinling, after all, there is already the first major sect Wanyang Sect here, if people really have something to do, they will also go to Wanyang Sect, those small sects can't get resources, can't they even support themselves?"
When everyone heard this, Shi Lang asked again: "You said that I can understand Jinling, but what about this Hanging Pot Cave? It's just a medicine sect, even if it can eliminate evil spirits, how powerful can it be? Why are there fewer small sects distributed here than those of Wanyang Sect, it makes no sense! This is the existence at the bottom of the ranking of the five major sects, what ability can deter those small sects?"
This Qingzi didn't know, but he saw that one of the two of them frowned, and the other pursed their lips and said nothing, as if they knew something.
"They naturally have their means!" said in a low voice.
Qingzi raised her eyebrows, and before she could ask, Ning Yin on the side opened her mouth and continued to explain.
It turned out that there were many small sects in Yancheng in the past, and Shi Lang's thoughts were the same, in their eyes, a medicine sect that was only ranked at the bottom, and what evil things happened didn't depend on a small sect like them that specialized in eliminating filth?
Therefore, all the monks who have some ability regard it as a big piece of fat, and naturally many small sects have established there.
But I never expected that although this hanging pot cave is ranked last and focuses on medicine, it is also a sect with a strong sense of territory, just like a big tiger in the mountains, with a strong sense of territory, and it is not allowed to be violated by others.
If it is good to say hello to them at the beginning and establish a mountain gate of cooperation, it will complement each other, then it will take root.
Naturally, they were jointly suppressed by them, and they used all kinds of means to drive them out, so that they could not receive a single prayer there, and naturally they could not gain a foothold.
Some people may ask why the medicine sect can't remove the filth and control the entire Yancheng, which is naturally related to their annual free clinic.
Every year, one month of free clinics, how many people in the whole Yancheng get its shade, the so-called eating people with soft mouths and short hands.
What's more, for the people, the body is naturally more important than others, and it is not that they can't find others to remove the filth, but if they offend the hanging pot hole, then they will offend Bian Que Huatuo, who can save his life at a critical time and keep his health on weekdays.
Is there any need for hesitation in the trade-off?
Because of this, others also discovered that it was actually a difficult bone to gnaw, and slowly no one was thankless and offended people anymore.
"I didn't expect that Dongting Lake, which is a hanging pot for the world, could be so strong!" Qingzi said lightly, but the tone in it made people listen to it, and they didn't know whether the other party was praising or mocking.
"So the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake!" Ci Yuehua also came to say this, he was almost known to everyone that he was not interested in the hanging pot cave, so he didn't avoid anyone.
Ning Yin glanced at Ci Yuehua and said, "Then I don't know what the master's arrangements will be next?"
Ci Yuehua pointed to the map in his hand and said, "Although there are very few small sects here, there are also disciples of these sects in the purchase list, so we must deal with this place first." ”
After saying that, he pointed to three other places and said, "There are too many places on the map, we have to act separately." The young master was born and raised in Kunlun Mountain, and it is most suitable for you to investigate the area of Kunlun Mountain. ”
Shi Lang nodded and responded, "Okay, then I'll go back directly if I'm ready." ”
Ci Yuehua said: "Don't worry about it first. ”
Then he pointed to the Qingfeng Gate realm and looked at Qingzi, and said in a serious and solemn tone: "Dragon City is the most serious place, Qingzi, I will hand over this place to you." ”
Qingzi hooked her lips, "Master rest assured!"
Ci Yuehua hummed and said, "It's far away from here, you have to be careful in everything!"
Qingzi nodded.
Then Ci Yuehua's gaze swept over Yancheng and put it in Qingyuan Pudu Temple, "...... here"
Ci Yuehua paused and said, "I'll go here!"
Several people did not object, but put their eyes on the Hanging Pot Cave in Yancheng, and Shi Lang asked first: "Master, this is Senior Sister Ning Yin?"
As he spoke, several people focused their eyes on Ci Yuehua.
Ci Yuehua glanced at Ning Yin, then looked at Qingzi and said, "No need, Ning Yin's cultivation is not high, and it will be dangerous to investigate alone." ”
Ning Yin lowered her head when she heard this, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry Master, I disappointed you!" Then she looked at Ci Yuehua with a resolute gaze and said: "But don't worry, Master, please also give the disciple some tasks, the disciple will work hard to complete it, and share the worries between you and your junior sister and younger brother!"
Ci Yuehua looked at Ning Yin, and was also thinking in his heart, in his opinion, it would be okay for Ning Yin to go back directly, but she said so, if the junior brother and sister were all assigned tasks, but she was left alone, it would not be like words.
If it makes her have bad thoughts in her heart, it is also his sin.
Qingzi suddenly said in a loud voice: "Then let Senior Sister go to Dragon City with me? ”
Ci Yuehua looked at Qingzi, and then decisively refused, "No, let her follow me, when this is done, I will take her to deal with Qingyuan first, and the hanging pot hole can be dealt with last." ”
It really seems like the best thing to do, after all......
Ci Yuehua's cultivation is the most powerful in this, so that Ning Yin will not be held back, and Ci Yuehua will not be unable to protect her.
But Qingzi knew Ning Yin's thoughts, even if she knew that this was the best arrangement for her master, but she was a little depressed and irritable in her heart, and she always felt that her presence would deepen the distance between them.
Shi Lang also glanced at Ning Yin, and when he saw that the other party was overjoyed with forbearance, he frowned, but as a disciple and the youngest junior disciple, he didn't have any position to say anything.
Qingzi said: "Since you are acting separately, you must have a contact information, so that it is convenient to know your own situation and report at any time." ”
Ci Yuehua nodded when he heard this, and soon saw that his fingertips slowly condensed four plum blossom bones, and after the four flower bones were condensed, Ci Yuehua's face turned pale.
Qingzi was taken aback, he was not only a spirit form, but also added a formation to these flower bones at the same time.
These are all things that can only be done with extremely strong spiritual power, and therefore, almost no one in the Immortal Sect will do such a thankless thing.
Why say thankless?
Although this technique transforms spiritual power, it also has a time limit for existence, just like this flower bone, it will bloom a little bit with a single bone, and when it is fully bloomed, this flower will also disappear along with the sound array superimposed on it.
Qingzi hurriedly walked over and wanted to help Ci Yuehua but was directly dodged by the other party, she pursed her lips and took her hand back, but still asked: "Master, are you okay?"
