Chapter 203: Countermeasures
Carefully look at this treasure that is only the size of a palm, the whole body is pitch black, like a shield, this is the most precious thing that Jiang Feng has obtained by going deep into the ruins of the Raging Wind Canyon, but it is relatively possible to be a more practical magic weapon, this ancient treasure called the Tower of Eternity, for Jiang Feng's current value, is almost equal to zero.
Even the Jindan monk Yan Shujia, after trying one or two, also found out that he would not get any benefits from cultivating this thing for a short time. On the one hand, she had just touched the threshold of the middle section of the Jindan, which was far from enough for the ancient treasures, and on the other hand, if the ancient treasures were so easy to refine, Venerable Yuan Chu would not have to spend much time, and in the end, he had to find a way to induce a bunch of monks to explore his Dao Palace, and then rely on sacrificing these monks to refine the ancient treasures, but in the end, he failed to do so.
"But I'll find a way, you wait for me to hear from me, the master said, everything is only afraid of people with hearts. ”
Jiang Feng still remembered that Yan Shujia had said this, presumably after she returned to Qi Kingdom, she would focus on investigating the news related to this ancient treasure, but judging from her slightly naïve way of doing things, she, a Jindan monk who had been "raised in the boudoir" for a long time, didn't know when she would have the opportunity to leave Qi Country again.
What Jiang Feng and Yan Shujia did was just a preliminary confession, if this ancient treasure fell into the hands of others, they might soon erase the traces of the two and restart the ancient treasure's sacrifice.
Injected with a little spiritual power, the spiritual power was like broken sand sprinkled on the sea, and immediately disappeared, and the twelve black stone pieces the size of the index finger on the ground were arranged into a special shape with his own mind, which was also the only role that Gu Bao could play in Jiang Feng's hands to entertain himself.
Even so, the Ancient Treasure could only control the blackstone flakes that were found in the ruins, and could not control any other materials. It can be said that in terms of practicality, it is not as good as the worst first-order magic weapon. Moreover, when Jiang Feng was manipulating, he could faintly feel a trace of resistance and disgust contained in the ancient treasure, which should have its own spiritual wisdom.
Maybe he didn't want to deal with himself, a nameless little monk of the Xuan level, Jiang Feng was quite self-aware in this regard, but he had been despised a lot recently.
Blood Sacrifice! Soul Sacrifice!
The two sacrificial refining methods shared by Yan Shujia, Jiang Feng thought about it, took out the blessing sachet, and wanted to test whether the blood-red spiritual power contained in the Horcrux would have an effect on this ancient treasure.
Before the Fuyou sachet touched this ancient treasure, Jiang Feng felt a bloodthirsty impulse, and before Jiang Feng could see it clearly, there was an inexplicable tearing force from the ancient treasure, which instantly engulfed the Fuyou sachet, and the dark surface suddenly appeared with a faint blood-colored luster, and the pattern of the Tower of Eternity appeared again, Jiang Feng, who was holding the ancient treasure, suddenly felt a pure energy, overflowing from the ancient treasure, rushing into his meridians, all comfortable.
However, it's just refreshing.
Even the accumulated cultivation shows no signs of loosening.
Feelings, you want to tell me, are you very cool, Jiang Feng complained in his heart.
Although the "Ruyi Golden Melon" skill on the blessing sachet is useless to himself and is like a waste, but this women's jewelry with a small capacity can also carry blood-red spiritual power, and it can be reactivated at the right time, but you, this ancient treasure, not only swallowed my skills, but also swallowed the Horcrux, but did not give any benefits, so how can I be embarrassed?
As if feeling Jiang Feng's complaint, the surface of the ancient treasure became slightly warmer, and the broken gap seemed to have been repaired a little, but it was only a little bit that could be distinguished by the naked eye.
Well, you win.
Jiang Feng stopped complaining, if it can really fix you, it will be worth it. However, the remaining three Horcruxes still have some uses for the time being, so it is better not to feed this ancient treasure that seems to be insufficient. Think of it as a little wealth that I have accumulated for the future, and it is not an ordinary future, and it may need to reach the future of "prefecture-level consummation".
Thinking about it, it seems to be a few hundred years later, judging from the time when the successive heads of the Assayama Sect have been in charge, if he can really reach that realm, I am afraid that he will become the longest-reigning head of the Assayama Sect in history.
A master through the ages.
Thinking about it, he was a little excited, Jiang Feng couldn't help but shudder, and immediately woke up from his daydream, no, although this ancient treasure is temporary, it can even be said that it can't be used until the earth is desolate, but it is still necessary to take some protective measures, if it is peeped at by others, it is a small matter to be taken away, and it is a big matter to lose his life, he remembered Yan Shujia's explanation of sealing the ancient treasure.
Took out a black broken glove that would stimulate fluff on the surface as long as it was infused with spiritual power, which was the one Yan Shujia used to grab the crystal ball. According to her, the glove partially insulates the aura of the treasure.
Jiang Feng decisively put this small shield into it, and then took out a gentian fruit, this fruit has a weak aura, but it is very large, half the size of a grinding plate, Jiang Feng hollowed out the inside, put the gloves in it, and closed the gentian fruit, and threw it into the corner of the storage bag, even if someone got their own storage bag, they would not immediately think that there was such a heavy treasure hidden in this gentian fruit.
If you don't find it, you have a chance to get it back, and if you find a way to hide the bag in the snow, it will be even harder to be found. It's just that Jiang Feng hasn't thought of a suitable burial place for the time being.
In the afternoon, thunderclouds began to accumulate, and it was estimated that heavy rain would fall in the evening, so Jiang Feng sat quietly and waited for the night to come, so as to explore Yuanqiao Town.
............
Jincheng faction, God bless the city.
The head of the house, Su Liqing, had just sent away the prefecture-level monk and the city lord of Lelin City, who had come to report on the ruins of the Angry Wind Canyon, and by the way, Leng Tingtao. Su Liqing was a little surprised by Leng Tingtao's victory, it was not easy for a monk who was not good at fighting to get two magic weapon-level magic weapons from the ruins.
You must know that Lizong has lost two prefecture-level monks, among which Chu Anlan is even more famous, he has seen it once, and his combat power should be far above Leng Tingtao.
At least in terms of luck, Leng Tingtao is still good, but some details, the other party skips it, and he can't ask in detail, Leng Tingtao is his subordinate, but the two are both ground-level monks, and the other party is also from a first-class family in the door, and the other party doesn't need to completely look at his face, of course, this is also the fundamental reason why Su Liqing has paid more and more attention to the rise of the Leng family recently, and even has the intention to curb it.
Although it has lost all the Xuan-level cultivators in the valley, this result is also quite good. Leng Tingtao proposed that he was willing to dedicate a magic weapon to the sect to reward the best in the competition next spring, which is also good. It's just that his merits can't be too highlighted, otherwise the Leng family's momentum will only grow stronger. For the same reason, Su Liqing did not give an answer to the idea of marriage proposed by Leng Tingtao.
"First ask the children what they mean, things are excellent, listen to the wind young and promising, good looks, I heard that he did a good job in Heishuimen, I have heard of it. ”
This is Su Liqing's reply to Leng Tingtao, such an answer is not out of etiquette, but it also leaves enough time for himself to think about it. At this time, in the inner house, several daughters had received his will and returned one after another.
Six daughters, four of them, the eldest daughter Su Qiong, the second daughter Su Man, the third daughter Su Jin, the fifth daughter Su Zhi, except for the third daughter Su Jin at the spiritual level, the other three are all Xuan-level monks;
Originally, Su Liqing wanted to only call a few people with more ideas, such as the second daughter Su Man, the third daughter Su Jin, and the youngest daughter Su Ji'er, to discuss this matter on a small scale. But thinking about it, this matter involves marriage, it can't be completely counted as a matter within the door, and it is related to the future of his fourth daughter Su Ya, so he called all his daughters here today.
Su Liqing explained Leng Tingtao's thoughts and thoughts, and did not hide anything, nor did he bring his personal inclination in his words, considering from the Su family's leadership of the Jincheng faction, he didn't want this day to come so early.
Although his wife died early, Su Liqing himself is not too young now, but he still works hard in several concubines, and even uses some special means, but he has not been able to bear fruit and give birth to new heirs, let alone male monk heirs, so he has been indecisive on the issue of the selection of several daughters and husbands, for fear of triggering a fight between several husbands' families for the position of the future head of the family, as well as the standing of the monks in the door, once the grandson of the monk is born, I am afraid that the fight will be more intense, and even threaten the stability of the Su family's position, the reason why he is secretive about this kind of thing is because of the bloody storm when he succeeded to the throne。
"Tell me about it. Su Liqing looked around on both sides, only the fourth daughter Su Ya's face was flushed, and she lowered her head deeply, but looking at the smile hidden in the corner of her eyes, she seemed to be extremely happy about the marriage involving her.
"I think it should depend on the meaning of the fourth sister. Seeing that the eldest sister Su Qiong didn't speak, the second daughter Su Man was the first to speak, she was usually good friends with the fourth sister Su Ya, and she also knew the fourth sister's intentions, so she naturally spoke for her.
Su Ya's head was lowered, as a mortal, she had no right to speak among several sisters, unlike Su Jier, although she was also a mortal, she was willing to participate in government affairs, and she had always been regarded as an important staff member by her father.
"Does Leng Tingfeng have the right to inherit the Leng family's property?" asked Sujier, asking a key question. "I think there shouldn't be, the nominal head of the Leng family is Leng Rulin, Leng Tingtao's fourth uncle, but in fact, the most powerful one is Leng Tingtao, that is to say, the foundation of the Leng family should eventually be inherited by Leng Tingtao's son, such as Leng Guiyuan, who is twenty-nine years old and has no marriage, so it is better to choose him. ”
Speaking of the way, Su Liqing was a little moved, this combination will not only not endanger the Su family's industry, but will also bind the future of the Leng family, if the matter can be done, the Leng family will be able to be more deeply bound to the Jincheng faction, even if an heir is born, it will only give priority to inheriting the Leng family's foundation, rather than robbing the Su family.
is still the youngest daughter Su Jier's fierce eyes.
"I don't think the sixth sister's arrangement is inappropriate," the third daughter, Su Jin, thought for a moment and put forward her own ideas," The fourth sister's mortal body, married to Leng Guiyuan, who is detached in qualifications, can accompany him for a long time, once he is promoted to the prefecture level, the future of the fourth sister, I am afraid it will be very bleak, father, I suggest that the happiness of the fourth sister is considered first, and the cold listening is fashionable, I think he is sincere to the fourth sister, it is difficult to further cultivate, and he is not good at fighting, do some stable affairs, and stay with the fourth sister for a lifetime, it should be a good thing, no matter how bad, spiritual-level cultivation, Leng Guiji, who has average qualifications, he is the eldest grandson of Leng Rulin, and he also has a certain status in the Leng family, as the sixth sister said, it is also a good choice to bind part of the foundation of the Leng family。 ”
"A sincere heart, who knows if he has other plans?" Su Ji'er pouted.
"Whether it's true or not, only the fourth sister herself knows. Su Man joined the argument, and she and Su Jin both spoke to the fourth sister, "Fourth sister, you say something." ”
"I, I think he's fine. Su Ya whispered.
"It's hard for you to even awaken the Fa Phase, can you see it clearly?" Su Ji'er hurriedly said, "The six of us have to give priority to the Su family, how can we be casual and willful." ”
"Then it's better for you to marry Leng Guiyuan. ”
The eldest daughter Su Qiong, who has not spoken, spoke, in fact, she has no feelings for the fourth sister, but a few days ago she happened to see the fourth sister running to Lengfu, so she secretly stalked, and later found that Leng Tingfeng actually gave up official business from Heishuimen and ran back, and at the same time was surprised in her heart, she also secretly recognized the future brother-in-law, the fourth sister is cowardly by nature, and only such a person who is really good to her can be happy.
"You" Su Ji'er suddenly stopped, "You are the eldest sister, as a rule, of course you marry first." She quickly found a good reason to shift the focus.
That's right, this idea is not bad, Su Liqing, who has been listening, said secretly in his heart, this reason, can be delayed for a moment or two, and it is said that family affairs are difficult to decide, if it is a matter within the sect, he can't help but make a decision, but when it comes to six daughters, a few people must be convinced.
"Jill has a point, you guys, I should have found a suitable husband for you. Su Liqing suddenly came to inspiration, "Ya'er, since you like your affairs, your father is willing to make decisions for you, but your sixth sister is right, the eldest and youngest are orderly, and your three sisters will marry first, how about it?"
"Father, the fourth sister is a mortal body......" The second daughter Su Man wanted to argue.
"It's okay, two or three years or so, can't you wait? Qiong'er, do you have any suitable targets for you?"
"Everything is up to my father's arrangement. ”
Su Qiong really didn't have any thoughts about this aspect, she preferred cultivation, and the affairs of the Taoist couple didn't pay attention to it at all, "I'm willing to set an example, so that no one will go against the interests of the Su family at that time." She glanced at her sixth sister Su Ji'er, in fact, she knew that Su Ji'er had some good feelings with the newly rising children of the Liu family, but her father would most likely object, because it was obvious that three of the elders had in-laws with the Liu family.
"That's good. Do you have any objections?" Su Liqing looked around, and the majesty of his parents was revealed again.
"Everything is at my father's behest. The crowd spoke again.
"That Qiong'er, Liu Sijiang of the Liu family, will propose marriage for you as a father. ”
This, Su Ji'er was shocked, and instantly felt that the sky was dark, and this arrangement seemed to have smashed into her corner. She just wanted to speak out against it, but suddenly remembered what she had said before, so she had to silence it, and swallowed the words that came to her lips raw, only to feel that the bitterness in her mouth was abnormal.
Dismissed the six daughters with different expressions, Su Liqing sat quietly and meditated on his own countermeasures, the reason why he wanted to marry his eldest daughter Su Qiong to Liu Sijiang, a son of the Liu family, was so ambitious and mediocre in qualifications, but he was the most beloved son of the newly promoted prefecture-level monk Liu Kuiyi, Su Qiong, a cultivation madman, would definitely be able to suppress him, and Su Qiong's cultivation would most likely be better than him in the future, this kind of arrangement should be extremely beneficial to the Su family.
He didn't marry a daughter before, but now he plans to marry off all six daughters, but he must be able to share and even control part of the rights of his husband's family in the future, which is fundamental, only in this way, even if he can't give birth to an heir in the future, he will have enough time and space to choose an heir among his future grandchildren, and will not be constrained by his husband's family.
The great cause of the Su family, even if it is changed, must be changed calmly, and it cannot be as chaotic as it was back then.
As for the husband of the second daughter Su Man, who to choose, he had no idea for a while, but fortunately, he had at least half a year to think it through.
............
In the middle of Biyun Sect, on the outskirts of Fuyun City, the old capital abandoned due to ancient wars.
This is a large group of tombs, towering, with uniformly shaped tombstones neatly arranged together, which looks particularly desolate and desolate under the sinking sunset, and even has some terrifying meaning.
It wasn't the first time that Wan Lao Mo had come here, but he had just landed, and before the black smoke on his body had dissipated, he felt an obscure, even if he tried to cover it up, but it also seemed to be ancient and powerful, locking himself.
