Chapter Seventy-Eight: Qingyu Gate
There are still twenty-one jade girl ice needles wrapped in this bark, looking at these ice needles, Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but think, this thing is indeed very insidious and easy to use, but it has to be shot at close range, if you use it to deal with the Qi Sea Realm monk, it will be looking for death.
During the period of time before the onset of poisoning, the Qi Sea Realm cultivator was able to kill Lu Xiaoan ten thousand times.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoan still plans to use this poison on bullets, but he has to think carefully about how to use it.
Thinking about the time when he was in Yunze Forest before, if there was this poison, Lu Xiaoan would be able to avenge his master.
After walking for two days, when he was eating and resting at the inn along the way, Lu Xiaoan suddenly said to Zhang Mengwen: "Senior brother, there is a task I want to give to you." ”
Zhang Mengwen immediately said: "Senior brother, you just order." ”
Lu Xiao'an said: "We went to Huai'an City to seek help, but the ultimate target of revenge is still the Xia Jian Sect and the Yuyang Sect, so I think you stay in Yue'an City to find out their information." ”
Zhang Mengwen was stunned, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Lu Xiaoan's plan was indeed to take Zhang Mengwen away, but it was not really because he had bad luck, but because Lu Xiaoan didn't want to expose his secrets in front of outsiders.
Indeed, for Lu Xiaoan, Zhang Mengwen is an outsider. Xiao Lu'er is his own junior sister, and he personally brought it back to the mountain gate, and Zhou Zhaoyue will be his backer for a period of time.
In fact, even if he doesn't have this identity, Lu Xiaoan can trust Zhou Zhaoyue more, because Zhou Zhaoyue's character has been verified by examples. But Lu Xiaoan doesn't know Zhang Mengwen at all, how can he trust him because of his identity as a fellow disciple?
No matter who you are, trust takes time to build. So there is another plan for Zhang Mengwen to go to Yue'an City, that is, to let Du Feiyu see if this person is trustworthy.
Seeing Zhang Mengwen's confused face, Lu Xiaoan said, "What, isn't the junior brother willing to go?"
Zhang Mengwen hurriedly said: "No, it's just that I don't know what to do." ”
Lu Xiaoan said: "It's okay, I also have something to do with Yue'an City, I will arrange someone to help you after you go." ”
"Alright then!"
Zhang Mengwen nodded, and his expression couldn't tell whether he was willing or unwilling.
Of course, even if he doesn't want Lu Xiaoan, it can be understood, after all, no one wants to be alone anymore at this time, unless it is someone like Lu Xiaoan. Therefore, Lu Xiaoan will not feel that he is unreliable because of this.
took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Mengwen, Lu Xiaoan said again: "After you go to Yue'an City, find a gang called the Feihong Gang, and give this letter to their gang leader, and then someone will naturally help you arrange everything." ”
This letter is not only an arrangement for Zhang Mengwen, but also asks Du Feiyu to test him, and tells Du Feiyu what to let Zhang Mengwen know and what he can't.
Zhang Mengwen took the letter and didn't ask much, and put it away directly.
Lu Xiaoan felt that a genius core disciple should not be able to peek.
After eating, Zhang Mengwen was about to separate from Lu Xiao'an and the others, because Yue'an City was in the north, and Huai'an City should be in the direction of the east.
After Zhang Mengwen left, Zhou Zhaoyue asked Lu Xiaoan, "You don't want him to follow us, do you?"
Lu Xiaoan found that although his senior sister's mana was temporarily gone, her brain unexpectedly became flexible.
Anyway, he didn't plan to hide it, so Lu Xiaoan said: "That's the case, because I have some secrets that I don't want others to know." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue raised her good-looking eyebrows, and stopped talking.
After the three of them got into the carriage and continued to hurry, Lu Xiaoan said to the two people in the carriage: "I'll teach you a method that you can cultivate quickly." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue and Xiao Lu'er turned their heads to look at him at the same time, both a little surprised.
Without waiting for the two to ask, Lu Xiaoan said: "Using acupuncture needles to stimulate acupuncture points can make the cultivation speed faster." ”
"Great!"
Xiao Lu'er had no doubt about Lu Xiaoan's words, and was only happy that she could become stronger faster.
Zhou Zhaoyue frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Although I don't know how you came up with this method, this method is only effective for the Qi Cultivation Realm and the Pulse Realm. ”
"Why?"
This time it was Lu Xiaoan's turn to be stunned.
Zhou Zhaoyue explained: "When you reach the Qi Sea Realm, the meridians of the whole body are connected, and you are absorbing the Heaven and Earth Lingqi all the time, which is definitely faster than you use the Fa Needle to stimulate the acupuncture points, so this method is ineffective against the Qi Sea Realm." ”
"Is that so?"
Lu Xiaoan was very regretful, and at the same time, he was also worried about how he could quickly improve his cultivation when he reached the Qi Sea Realm, if he couldn't help it, would his cultivation not be able to break through the Infant Realm for the rest of his life.
Worried, Lu Xiaoan asked Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, is there a way for you to let me cultivate quickly in the Qi Sea Realm." ”
Xiao Ai: "I can't answer you now, but according to my research and understanding of the Heaven Swallowing Earth, the method of the magic needle is really useless when it reaches the Qi Sea Realm. ”
Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but feel lost, he originally thought that he could open and hang to the ascension, but as a result, he was in the first two realms.
Xiao Ai: "I don't know much about the so-called cultivation qualifications now, maybe when you cultivate to a higher level and have a deeper understanding, you will have a way." ”
Xiao Ai actually comforted people, which made Lu Xiaoan feel relieved, and at the same time, he felt a little better in his heart, and thought: "Originally, it was impossible for me to connect to the pulse realm, but now I have gained enough, so let's think about it later!"
That night, Lu Xiaoan lent his seven hundred magic needles to Xiao Lu'er and asked her to try it out first. Not only was Xiao Lu'er eager to try the method taught by his senior brother, but Lu Xiaoan himself was also curious about how fast Xiao Lu'er could be.
At night, the carriage stopped in the forest, Xiao Lu'er practiced in the carriage, and Lu Xiaoan and Zhou Zhaoyue were sentry outside. Of course, the sentry is mainly Lu Xiaoan's task, and Zhou Zhaoyue just sat in the carriage for a long time and moved around.
The next morning, Xiao Lu'er, who jumped out of the carriage, shouted excitedly: "Senior brother, your method is really too effective, my cultivation speed is nearly twice as fast. ”
Lu Xiaoan was a little embarrassed, nodded and smiled: "It's good to be useful." ”
He wouldn't even say that this method had increased his cultivation speed by more than ten times, so let this secret rot in his own stomach forever!
It's good to experiment, at present, Xiao Lu'er definitely can't cultivate like this every day, after all, they still have to hurry. Zhou Zhaoyue is now losing all his mana, and Lu Xiaoan can't fly to Huai'an City immediately.
Compared with Lu Xiao'an and the others, Zhang Mengwen naturally reached Yue'an City faster, after all, it was much closer. Lu Xiaoan didn't tell him how to find the Feihong Gang, which was also a small test for Lu Xiaoan for him.
However, Zhang Mengwen is different from Lu Xiaoan, although he has been practicing diligently in the mountain gate in the past few years, and he has never been out of the mountain gate at all, but before he went to the immortal gate, he was a child of a big family, and he had already seen many things.
It was also the first time he came to Yue'an City, and Zhang Mengwen behaved much calmer.
After entering the city, Zhang Mengwen went straight to a teahouse near the city gate, generally speaking, the teahouse or wine shop at the city gate is the most well-informed place, and experienced people will come here to inquire about the news.
didn't need Zhang Mengwen to ask in person, but he heard someone say: "Eh, have you noticed that there is an additional Feihong Gang in Yue'an City recently." ”
"Hehe, I said that you are behind in this news, but the Feihong Gang appeared several months ago. ”
"Isn't that what happened recently?"
"But you know, I already knew. ”
"Okay, you're amazing, then tell me who is the leader of this Feihong Gang?"
The smug expression of the man immediately became dumb, and the other asked, "Do you know?"
The person who spoke first smiled "hehe" and said, "Coincidentally, I really know." ”
"Who is it?"
Not only these people, Zhang Mengwen also stretched his neck to listen, but that person recruited people, and asked a few people around him to come to him before whispering: "Du Feiyu, you know, it is the poor boy who has been leading people at the gate of the city before." ”
"No, you say he's the leader of the Feihong Gang?"
Not only did this person not believe it, but the others also waved their hands and said: "Impossible, impossible, you must be mistaken, he can be a helper with a big fart?"
"I said don't believe me, I'll ask if you haven't seen him again. ”
As soon as he said this, the others immediately remembered.
"Eh, don't you say I haven't noticed, it looks like I haven't seen that kid for a long time. ”
"I thought he was dead, what's the matter, really a helper?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
"Tell me how you know?"
"Leave that alone. ”
This is the habit of these people to exchange information, always saying a little and keeping a little, to maintain their sense of superiority that they know more than others.
The others didn't ask, but discussed Du Feiyu.
"Tell me, why did he, a poor and white bastard, suddenly become a gang leader?"
"Yes, big fart kid, who will listen to him, shouldn't this so-called Feihong Gang be a group of children!"
"It's really not, I also know something about this Feihong Gang, although it is not a force, but it has developed rapidly, and it is said that it has also run some businesses. ”
"What kind of business?"
"The gambling house in Sanshukou knows, it became the Feihong Gang a few days ago. ”
Hearing this, he got up and left, knowing the place, there was no need to waste time.
Xiao Lu'er and Zhou Zhaoyue can indeed avoid a lot of trouble by sitting in the carriage, but the biggest trouble now is not the two of them, but Lu Xiaoan himself. Although the Xia Jian Sect wants to find Lu Xiao'an like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is not without other ways, and that is a reward.
It is definitely impossible for the Xia Jian Sect to offer a reward to Lu Xiaoan through the imperial court, and the imperial court will not serve the sect, but they also have a more secret channel, that is, the killer organization that does not only cover the Guangyue country-Qingyu Gate.
No one knows how strong the Qingyu Gate is, only that there is no one they can't kill, only a price you can't afford. Therefore, as long as the Xia Jian Sect gives a sufficient price, in addition to killing people, it is naturally possible to capture a person alive.
Lu Xiaoan didn't know about the existence of the Qingyu Gate at all, so he naturally didn't expect that the Xia Jian Sect would reward him in the Qingyu Gate.
Qingyu Sect has a complete intelligence organization, and it is naturally much easier for them to find Lu Xiaoan than Xia Jian Sect.
When passing by a market town, Xiao Ai suddenly said to Lu Xiaoan: "You should be targeted." ”
Lu Xiaoan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Me?"
Xiao Ai: "Yes, the elderly woman selling baked cakes on the side of the road has obvious changes in her eyes after seeing you, and after looking at you a second time, she deliberately stopped looking in your direction, according to my analysis, her second glance is to confirm the target and avoid mistakes, and then deliberately stop looking at you for fear of being detected by you, so she should be a well-trained grassroots intelligence officer." ”
Lu Xiaoan frowned, fortunately he has Xiao Ai, an intelligent life with strong anti-reconnaissance ability, otherwise he doesn't know how he really died.
Originally, he was going to take a break in the town, but now Lu Xiaoan went through it directly.
He didn't show anything unusual, and it wasn't until he left the town that he suddenly said to Xiao Lu'er and Zhou Zhaoyue in the carriage: "We are being targeted." ”
"Ahh
Xiao Lu'er was startled and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?"
Lu Xiaoan said: "This carriage can no longer be wanted, and we will flee to the forest when we pass through the woods in a while." ”
There was no one chasing after him, so someone must have intercepted him, so as soon as they entered the forest, Lu Xiaoan and the three of them secretly ran away and let the carriage continue to move forward.
Sure enough, not long after, two people suddenly jumped down from a tree on the side of the road. One on the left casts a spell, causing the carriage to run and run but suddenly sink into the ground, while the one on the right slashes open the carriage with a knife, only to find that it is empty.
"It was discovered in advance!"
The two were not too surprised, because the assassination target realized in advance that this kind of thing had not happened. Glancing at each other, the two immediately split up and chased into the woods.
At this time, Lu Xiaoan and the three of them were running quickly in the forest, because he was afraid that it would be the Xia Jian Sect that would find him, so he didn't dare to stay at all. Fortunately, although Zhou Zhaoyue's mana is gone, it is impossible for the physical strength of the Qi Sea Realm to be gone, and he is not slower than Lu Xiao'an, but Xiao Lu'er's cultivation is too low, and he can't run fast at all.
There was no way, Lu Xiaoan could only carry Xiao Lu'er on his back, and he couldn't care much about running for his life at the moment. Fortunately, Xiao Lu'er didn't resist, but just blushed a little on her senior brother's back.
Lu Xiao'an didn't have the heart to think about anything else, he was anxiously thinking about how the Xia Sword Sect could find out so far away, did he know that he was in this direction, or did he run into him by chance?
These two situations are very different, if they knew that he was in this direction, they would inevitably lay a net, and the chances of Lu Xiaoan and them escaping were very small. If it's just a chance encounter, then run away, the faster the better, as long as they escape to Huai'an City, they will be safe.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiaoan felt that it was unlikely to be the first case, because no one knew his whereabouts, and even Duan Yunfeng couldn't guess that he was going to Huai'an City. And Duan Yunfeng has also proved it several times, and at present, he and Lu Xiaoan are people in the same boat.
Since he didn't know his whereabouts, then he met him by chance, but Lu Xiaoan always felt that something was wrong, because the so-called grassroots intelligence officer made him feel that this was not quite like the style of the Xia Jian Sect.
Moreover, the other party's goal is clearly him, but the Guangyue Kingdom is so big, how can the Xia Sword Sect have so many people to guard him everywhere?
Just when he thought so, Xiao Ai said: "The other party may be a third-party intelligence agency, mainly engaged in intelligence trafficking and assassination." ”
This kind of organization is not unique to Lu Xiaoan's world, Xiaoai's former world also exists, and it is more professional and advanced, so he can think of and remind Lu Xiaoan.
Lu Xiaoan was taken aback, and found that he had really ignored this possibility.
So, he turned his head and asked Zhou Zhaoyue, "Senior sister, do you know what assassination organizations there are in Guangyue Kingdom?"
Zhou Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. She has been staying in the sect to cultivate, and she really doesn't know anything about it.
Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but feel depressed, and found that his senior sister really didn't know anything except for her good cultivation. It would be nice if Gu Linghua was here, she seemed to know everything, and there were many ways, Lu Xiaoan didn't have to use his brain when he was with her, just act as a tool man.
However, what Lu Xiaoan didn't expect was that Xiao Lu'er on his back actually said: "Senior brother, I have heard of an assassination organization called Qingyumen, and I don't know about the others, I only know that this organization is very powerful, and there is no one they can't kill." ”
"Is it so powerful?"
Lu Xiaoan was a little panicked all of a sudden.
Xiao Lu'er hurriedly said: "I also heard about it. ”
Although it may be exaggerated, it is so outrageous that there are two brushes. And the more powerful you imagine the enemy, the more you don't panic when you really match it, but sometimes it's easy to despair if you think too hard.
Lu Xiaoan thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to Huai'an City separately, the only person they want to look for is me, and you shouldn't encounter any obstacles." ”
Xiao Lu'er immediately said: "Even if I die, I will be with my senior brother!"
Lu Xiaoan said: "Why do you want to die at every turn, they won't kill me, the reason why I want to separate is because I am more flexible in acting alone, you are not their target, you can go to Huai'an City in advance to find someone to save me." ”
Xiao Luer seemed to think that Lu Xiaoan was reasonable, but in her heart she always didn't want to leave her senior brother.
Zhou Zhaoyue didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he lowered his head.
Lu Xiaoan no longer hesitated, and immediately said to Zhou Zhaoyue: "Senior sister, please take my junior sister to Huai'an City, and when you go to Huai'an City, you will go to the Yu family to find Yu Donglai." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue looked at Lu Xiao'an, and said embarrassedly: "There are still several days away from Huai'an City, and it is quite dangerous for me to lose all my mana and take my junior sister." ”
Lu Xiaoan's head suddenly got big, and he almost forgot about this, he always felt that he had been unlucky everywhere since he met Zhang Mengwen.
"I have no choice but to fight. ”
Lu Xiaoan took out a few jade girl ice needles from the storage bag and said to Zhou Zhaoyue: "Senior sister, this is the poison in you, if you really encounter an enemy who can't be defeated, you can only rely on this to fight." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue seemed to be a little resistant to this despicable secret weapon, but he looked up at Lu Xiaoan and took it.
Lu Xiaoan gave Xiao Lu'er two more and said, "Your cultivation is low, maybe the enemy has no defense against you." ”
Xiao Lu'er didn't reject this kind of thing at all, and hid it directly in her sleeve.
