Chapter Seventy-Nine: Heaven and Earth
Offering a reward for Lu Xiaoan in Qingyu Gate was a helpless move after Qiu Jian had no choice, and it was determined that Lu Xiaoan was not in Duxian Gate, so he could really only find a needle in a haystack. The forces that can be used by the Xia Jian Sect obviously do not have the conditions to find a needle in a haystack.
And the reward for Lu Xiaoan is not unscrupulous, although the rules of Qingyu Sect have always been unreasonable, but if it costs too much to reward a qi practitioner, wouldn't it be strange?
Although Qingyumen pays attention to reputation, but reputation is the most untrustworthy, because it has a price, as long as the price code is enough, black eating black or something does not have any psychological burden for Qingyumen.
Don't look for them to kill people in the future!
Because of this, Qiu Jian only gave a reasonable price to capture the traitor's genius disciple, and this price was only enough to hire ten White Feather Killers, or one Black Feather Killer.
The killer arm of the Qingyu Gate has a feather mark, Bai Yu is the lowest level killer, but he must also have the cultivation of the Tongmai Realm, and the Black Feather is the killer of the Qi Sea Realm cultivation.
Don't look at the fact that inviting ten Tongmai Realm killers is not a big price for a sect, but you must know that this is to arrest people rather than kill people, the difficulty is doubled, and the cost is naturally greater. What's more, it is no longer reasonable to mobilize the people to arrest a traitor like this, and it will make people feel that there must be something very important to the sect in this traitor.
Qiu Jian just wanted the people of Qingyumen to think so, because the things of the Xia Sword Sect Qingyumen were still not eye-catching. If Qiu Jian behaved to catch Lu Xiaoan at all costs, then after Qingyumen caught Lu Xiaoan, he must first find out what Lu Xiaoan had on him that was worthy of Qiu Jian's treatment.
In that case, Qiu Jian would be making wedding dresses for others, he is not so stupid, he would rather kill Lu Xiaoan than cheapen others for nothing.
Therefore, when Lu Xiaoan saw the two Tongmai Realm killers who stopped him in front of him, he was very surprised in his heart.
Similarly, the two killers also had a kind of doubt when they saw Lu Xiaoan. A third-level Qi cultivator, a fifth-level Qi cultivator, and an ordinary person who has not cultivated, what about a genius disciple whose strength is comparable to that of the Tongmai Realm?
Both sides have a feeling that I overestimated my opponent before, but a professional killer is a professional killer, and although the target is not the same as I thought, I still didn't hesitate to shoot.
Zhou Zhaoyue immediately took out a talisman and handed it to Lu Xiaoan, saying, "I don't have mana, you use the talisman to deal with them." ”
The use of runes must require mana or spiritual power, and the higher the level of the rune, the more spiritual power is needed, and when it comes to the sixth-order rune, it can only be activated with mana.
What Zhou Zhaoyue gave to Lu Xiaoan was a fourth-order Hundred Winds Blade Talisman, and she was afraid that Lu Xiaoan's current spiritual power would not be able to use it, and it was enough to deal with the fourth-order talisman of the Tongmai Realm.
The Hundred Wind Blade Talisman is equivalent to throwing out one hundred second-order Wind Blade Talismans at the same time, and not only does the number increase, but the power of the Wind Blade is also greatly increased.
As soon as the Hundred Winds Blade Talisman was activated, the two killers on the opposite side were startled, dodging and casting spells to resist. But a hundred wind blades are so easy to dodge, although most of them are blocked, there are still many wounds on the hands and feet that are not fatal.
Lu Xiaoan no longer concealed the magic spear, and directly took out the Desert Eagle and shot it at the two people who fell to the ground.
The cultivation of these two people is actually not low, but they are injured and can't cast spells, and Lu Xiaoan shot at the heads of the two people at close range, obviously the heads of the two are not so iron.
Since the other party was a killer, Lu Xiaoan didn't pick up the other party's storage bag, for fear that there would be any tracking means inside. This is very common for killer organizations.
didn't know if there were other people on the other side, Lu Xiaoan naturally didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and hurriedly ran away with Xiao Lu'er on his back.
Without waiting for Zhou Zhaoyue to ask, Lu Xiaoan took the initiative to explain to Zhou Zhaoyue the explanation he gave to Xiao Luer last time.
Zhou Zhaoyue was surprised after hearing this, and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a powerful magic weapon!"
After sighing, Zhou Zhaoyue suddenly looked at Lu Xiao'an and said in surprise again: "Could it be that you are the one who saved us in Yunze Forest?"
Yu Donglai and Gu Linghua knew about the magic sniper, and Lu Xiaoan didn't mind that Xiao Lu'er and Zhou Zhaoyue also knew. Originally, as long as he had to take out the things that he had to use, Lu Xiaoan didn't think that he could keep them secret, it was unrealistic.
Nodding, Lu Xiaoan said: "It's me, I have a more powerful magic weapon, but it can only be used for sneak attacks, and it is not easy to use face-to-face, but I hope that Senior Sister can keep this matter secret all the time and don't tell anyone else." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue nodded, her own disciple had died, and now Lu Xiaoan and Xiao Lu'er were her closest people, so she naturally didn't tell others the truth. This is also the reason why Lu Xiaoan is willing to expose his secret in front of Zhou Zhaoyue, because he knows that Zhou Zhaoyue will not leak secrets.
Soon after the three of them fled, eight people came to the place where they had just fought, and glanced at the two companions who had died, and one of them said with some surprise: "I was actually broken out." ”
The other two examined the bodies of these two people, frowned, and said, "It's the Hundred Wind Blade Talisman and the ......"
Looking at the broken heads of the two, he was a little speechless.
However, the killer organization was very rigorous, even when examining the corpses, the other person dug up two bullets in the ground under the broken heads of the two people, and then asked the others, "Have you seen what kind of secret weapon this is?"
For people in this world, the needle-type hidden weapon is obviously better than the bullet, and it is also to kill a person, and the needle-type hidden weapon requires less mana to kill a person, and it is more secretive, just aim at the center of the eyebrows. Breaking an enemy's entire head with such a large secret weapon like this would seem thankless to the killers.
Several of the killers took turns studying the bullet and all shook their heads, it was obvious that they couldn't have seen it.
"This should indeed be a hidden weapon, but to use this hidden weapon to cause this kind of injury, you have to have a cultivation close to the Qi Sea Realm. ”
In their opinion, the hidden weapons must all be shot out with mana, and if they are purely with the power of the flesh, it will be even more terrifying.
This is the power of science and technology, using a small fiery talisman, it can actually achieve something close to that of a Qi Sea Realm monk.
This made several killers very confused.
"Didn't you say that it was a qi practitioner, wouldn't it be a death to have a cultivator close to the Qi Sea Realm for us?"
"The Xia Jian Sect has no reason and doesn't dare to harm us, it is estimated that there are other circumstances, but no matter what, this matter must be reported, bring their corpses back, and withdraw first!"
The eight people didn't dare to chase after it, and in the case of unequal information, they could definitely only trust their own judgment, thinking that Lu Xiaoan had a cultivator close to the Qi Sea Realm, or that there was a monk close to the Qi Sea Realm cultivating to help him.
But no matter what the situation is, it's not something that the eight of them can deal with.
After Lu Xiaoan and the three of them fled for half a day in a row, they had to stop and rest.
Xiao Lu'er looked behind her and said, "Senior brother, it's been so long, there shouldn't be anyone chasing after you anymore!"
Lu Xiao'an said, "Don't be careless, at this speed, we will be able to reach Huai'an City in two days, and only when we enter Huai'an City can we be considered safe." ”
Lu Xiao'an felt that no matter how powerful the Qingyu Sect was, there were the strongest families in Guangyue Country and the four major families in Huai'an City, so they had to be restrained a little!
Although Lu Xiaoan thought that the people sent by the other party were nothing more than that, but with such a big killer organization, it was definitely impossible to give up after failing once, so I am afraid that the next two days will be very difficult.
At this time, in a secret room that should be underground, the bodies of two killers were placed on the ground, and one of the killers held a bullet in his hand and said to a man in a black robe: "Black Winged Envoy, the two of them were killed by this kind of secret weapon." ”
The Black Wing Envoy is equivalent to the branch hall master in the Green Feather Gate, although he is the same Qi Sea Realm cultivator as the Black Feather Killer, but his strength is very different. There is such a rule in the Qingyu Gate, killing a Qi Sea Realm monk is considered a feather, and when the feather is enough to weave wings, it will become a black wing.
I didn't see any movement from the Black Wing, and the bullet in the killer's hand flew into his hand. After looking at the bullet for a while, the Blackwing Envoy walked around the secret room, and the killer didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood obediently.
After coming over for a while, the Blackwing envoy said, "Take the bodies of the two of them to be buried!"
"Yes!"
After the killer left, the Blackwing Envoy frowned and thought for a while, obviously he didn't know what kind of magic weapon this bullet was. But unlike the killers, he apparently thought a little more.
First of all, he didn't think that the target of Qiu Jian's reward was a cultivator close to the Qi Sea Realm, or a monk with such strength to protect him, because the head of a sect couldn't even figure out this matter, and the sect master who was still a fart.
Moreover, it was a bit unreasonable for Qiu Jian to give such a high bounty, he originally thought that Lu Xiaoan had the cheats of the Xia Jian Sect or something, which he couldn't look down on at all, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"What the hell is this thing that can make one Qi Practitioner easily kill two Pulse Realm cultivators?"
The Black Winged Envoy looked at the bullet and muttered to himself, unlike a few killers, he didn't think that anyone would make a hidden weapon look like this, then there must be a magic weapon that launched a hidden weapon.
Although there are no guns in this world, bows and crossbows are very common, so it is not so incredible that he can think of magic weapons that fire hidden weapons.
The Black Wing Envoy thought again: "A magic weapon that can kill the Tongmai Realm should not be enough to make Qiu Jian pay so much attention, then this is the way to make this magic weapon!"
"This method is definitely not from the Xia Jian Sect, otherwise the Xia Jian Sect would have become a first-class sect long ago, so if our Qingyi Sect has such a magic weapon, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings when performing tasks?"
The corners of the Black Winged Envoy's mouth raised a smile, and he muttered: "The lives of the two killers should be regarded as the price to be paid, this magic weapon, I accepted it from the Qingyu Sect." ”
"Someone!"
After speaking, the Blackwinged Envoy shouted outside, and a woman in black walked in and asked, "What does the Blackwinged Envoy command?"
"Go and tell Qiu Jian that the goal of his bounty is not what he said, and we have rejected the business." ”
"Yes!"
The woman in black didn't ask much, turned around and left.
"Wait!"
But just as she was about to walk out of the secret room, the Blackwing Envoy stopped her again.
"Wouldn't it be to tell him that I know his intentions, no, I can't startle the snake. ”
After muttering to himself, the Black Wing Envoy said to the woman in black again: "No need to go, notify me, go down and go all out to capture the target this time, you can dispatch the Black Feather Killer." ”
"Yes!"
The woman in black didn't ask the reason, and immediately went down to carry it out.
In order to obtain the refining method of this magic weapon, the Black Wing Envoy did not hesitate to lay a net of heaven and earth.
Now that he already knew that there was a killer organization tracking him, Lu Xiaoan naturally had to find a way to deal with it, and the first thing he thought of was the makeup technique he used when he left the Immortal Gate last time.
Not only himself, Xiao Luer and Zhou Zhaoyue also put on makeup, and women seem to have some kind of talent in this regard, after Lu Xiaoan finished putting on makeup, Xiao Luer also helped him trim it, so that it was even more difficult to be recognized.
Lu Xiaoan didn't pretend to be a woman anymore, but put on makeup as an old man, Xiao Luer and Zhou Zhaoyue both painted themselves a lot uglier, and Xiao Luer also deliberately put a lot of pockmarks on his face, which made people feel disgusted.
Zhou Zhaoyue couldn't stand it a little bit, so she rejected Xiao Lu'er's proposal, and Lu Xiaoan also felt that it was too strange for both of them to have pockmarks on their faces.
Now it seems that the three of them are much more ordinary, Lu Xiaoan has become a bad old man, Zhou Zhaoyue is a half-old who is a little attractive but not too seductive, and Xiao Luer is completely an ugly girl.
Disguised like this, Lu Xiaoan and the three of them did not continue to stay in the forest, because if they were touched by the enemy in the forest, it would be eye-catching. Therefore, the three of them took the normal road, planning to buy a carriage again to travel, which is called the big hidden in the city.
However, it will take six or seven days to get to Huai'an City, but for safety, it will be slower and slower.
After three days, they didn't meet the enemy again, which shows that this kind of camouflage is still useful, and Zhou Zhaoyue and Xiao Lu'er were not discovered by the enemy at the beginning, so the other party didn't know that Lu Xiaoan and the others had three people.
This time, Lu Xiaoan did not cover the carriage tightly, but opened it generously.
Passing by a certain town again, Xiao Ai said to Lu Xiaoan: "There are also other people's eyeliner here." ”
Lu Xiaoan's mood was a little heavy, because in the past few days, as long as he passes by a place with a lot of people, there must be the other party's eyeliner, and he didn't go where there are few people, so he doesn't know, but it is not difficult to guess that the other party has laid a net, and it is estimated that there are people from the other party in any direction.
"Fortunately, my own cultivation is also a layer of disguise. ”
Lu Xiaoan felt lucky, and actually thanked Fu Haixue for absorbing his cultivation.
"Gone? What do you mean people are gone?"
Hearing the report of the woman in black, the black-winged envoy frowned.
The woman in black said, "We searched within a thousand miles of the last time we found the target, and we didn't find the target again. ”
The Black Wing envoy said, "The other party must have been disguised, do you still need me to remind you?"
The woman in black said, "We tracked down every person who practiced the thirteenth layer of the Qi Realm, and finally confirmed that none of them were our target. ”
At this time, even the Blackwing Envoy was confused, and muttered, "Can he still fly out?"
After thinking for a long time, the Black Wing envoy said: "Since you have made a disguise, you must not go far, let me look for it carefully, as long as it is a qi practitioner, I will not let it go." ”
It's not that there is no lack of breathing techniques in this world, so the Black Wing has expanded the range of search targets.
"Yes!"
The woman in black nodded, and was about to leave, when the black-winged envoy said, "Let the spies in each city pay special attention to the fresh faces, and let the ordinary people test them, I don't believe that he can always show his feet." ”
Compared to the Xia Jian Sect, the Qingyu Sect is naturally better at finding people.
Lu Xiao'an and the three of them did not avoid the towns they encountered along the way, they passed through it when they should have passed, and anyway, they took the shortest route to Huai'an City. And in order to appear normal, they should also rest when they should rest, and they will go to the inn to stay overnight.
Bianhe City is a small city along the way, and it happened to be dusk when Lu Xiaoan and the three of them arrived here, so they found an inn to rest.
"A few people, please inside, the guest room is available. ”
Lu Xiaoan said in a voice as old as possible: "Prepare a table meal for us, feed the horses, and use good forage." ”
Xiao Er said: "Don't worry, our forage is all good." ”
Entering the store, Lu Xiaoan found that there were not many customers in the store, just two tables, and they were all ordinary people. It is true that there are very few monks in a small town like this.
After sitting for a while, a table of food came up, and the taste was not bad, especially the fish, which was very delicious.
The shopkeeper personally served dishes to a few people, and when he saw that a few people were eating fish, he said: "Several, this is called saury fish, and it is the most delicious fish in our border river city." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue nodded and said, "The taste is really good." ”
For monks, only the meat of demon beasts without impurities can be considered delicious, and it is indeed rare that this fish can make Zhou Zhaoyue feel delicious.
The shopkeeper looked at a few people and smiled, and then asked, "Look at a few people who don't look like businessmen, where are they going?"
Lu Xiaoan immediately became vigilant, but after looking at the shopkeeper, he felt that he might just ask casually, but no matter what, Lu Xiaoan couldn't tell him that he was going to Huai'an City.
But there is a problem, Lu Xiaoan doesn't know what is in front of him, so he can only ask: "What are you asking for?"
The shopkeeper was busy and apologized: "If it's okay, just ask casually, a few people eat slowly, and I won't bother." ”
After the shopkeeper left, Lu Xiaoan hurriedly asked Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, does he have any problems?"
Xiao Ai: "I don't know. ”
Lu Xiaoan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you able to analyze?"
Xiao Ai: "Only abnormal behavior can be concluded through analysis, this boss's behavior is not abnormal, and he has no superfluous expressions, either well-trained or an ordinary person, the probability is 50 percent." ”
Lu Xiaoan finally understood that Xiao Ai was not omnipotent, and in this case, he could only make his own judgment.
Now he only has two choices, either leave or stay, but if the other party is really a spy, leaving is equivalent to directly exposing his identity, and he may not be able to escape. After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Xiaoan still decided to stay for one night, he could only bet that the other party was fine, or that there was a problem but he didn't see that they had a problem.
