Chapter 193: The Situation Has Changed
Shangguan Xiuqi kicked open the door angrily, but found that his mother Jiang and a woman of the same age were sitting in front of the hall chatting, and the scene was suddenly a little embarrassing.
"Mother, I'm back. She quickly lowered her eyebrows and suppressed her anger, and raised her right foot without knowing where to put it, this woman she recognized, it was a distant relative who often came and went, and she should be called "aunt" according to her seniority.
"Xiuqi is still so heroic. ”
was suddenly kicked open the door, and the half-old looked stunned for a moment, then regained her vigor and smile, said a word to relieve the embarrassment, and then got up with a smile and said goodbye.
"Sister walks slowly. ”
Carefully smiling and sending away this "aunt" of Shangguan Xiuqi, Jiang Shi turned his head and glared at Shangguan Xiuqi fiercely, "It's not light or heavy, where did you provoke a wildfire in your stomach and come back to vent?" Look at what you are wearing, like a wild boy, dancing with knives and swords, and not learning from female red, when can you get married like this, I'm really angry." ”
"Mother" Shangguan Xiuqi was coquettish at this time, "What is she doing here?"
"It's not like I'm saying kiss to you. ”
"Am I not married?" Shangguan Xiuqi casually threw the long sword in his hand on the table, picked up a bowl of herbal tea that I didn't know who had drunk it, and drank it, and asked in surprise.
"It's still that family business, the six young people of the Chu family, Chu Yiming. ”
"I won't do it!"
Shangguan Xiuqi suddenly remembered Yu Xiaozheng's words "I dislike my body, it's natural", thinking that Chu Yiming had also been to a place like "Full Moon Tower", where he had been with those warblers and Yanyan for so long, those hands didn't know how many people had stayed and caressed, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in every inch of his body.
"Why don't you want to? Although the head of the Chu family is newly mourned, he is also much stronger than our family. This Chu Yiming heard that he is handsome and has a wide range of contacts, it is said that after the accident last time, he was still able to cultivate, and now he will immediately complete the spiritual level, return to the Xuan level, and even restore the original cultivation It is very possible, if you marry in the past, you will definitely enjoy happiness. ”
"I just don't want to! I don't want to marry him!" Shangguan Xiuqi subconsciously refused, and suddenly grabbed something, "What, you said Chu Anlan he died?"
"How can you call it that, yes, it is said that he died in the ruins of Raushzi, who knows, a ground-level monk, if you say that you will die, it is strange, when you marry in the past, you must persuade your husband, take less risks, and do some chores in the sect, wouldn't it be good for you to give birth to a boy and a half girl earlier?"
She was persuading left and right, and suddenly a light cough came from outside the house, Jiang quickly opened the door, but saw the head of the family, Shangguan Bashuang, standing outside the door with a cold face, and hurriedly saluted:
"Father. ”
"Has the lobbyist sent by the Chu family come?" Shangguan Bashuang didn't mean to come in.
"Yes. ”
"The Chu family is newly mourned, after the end of the three-month filial piety period, Xiuqi will marry, I think September 26 is a good day, let's settle it." ”
"Yes. Jiang could only obey the words of the head of the family's father, but she still turned around and pulled Shangguan Xiuqi, "Father, do you think you should prepare more dowry for Xiuqi, so as not to suffer from marrying." ”
"Suffering?" Shangguan Bashuang snorted lightly, "Chu Anlan is dead, who can give her suffering?" The situation has changed, if it weren't for a big man to match, I wouldn't want to marry my granddaughter to him again." ”
"Grandpa, I don't want to marry either. Shangguan Xiuqi replied bravely.
"This is not child's play, and you can't be willful. Shangguan Bashuang ignored her perverse temper this time, "Recently, don't go out to run, don't associate with messy people, and do any investigations." He turned around and glanced at Jiang, "Take good care of her, don't go out before you get married, pick her up, look like a woman!"

Lizong, Tuoyuan City.
"Zhu San, how did you choose this kind of ghost place. "The light in the secret room was dim, and the turbidity of various smells lingered, making people breathless.
"Otherwise, how can I get it, I'm not like you, I have a few Jinjin Fang City in my hands, I can only manage the Mule and Horse Market, this Tuoyuan City next to the Red Dragon Gate is the best territory in my hands, and there are a lot of livestock here, they won't talk nonsense. Zhu Sanlian complained and ridiculed, and even pointed at Sang scolding Huai.
"Don't complain, we're all on the same line. What's wrong with Mule and Horse City, there are 'beast boats' passing by here on the left and right, have any of you spent a little bit of your spiritual power to fly over?" The other person had a loud voice, and persuaded in the center, "Now that Chu Anlan is dead, we can finally restart our plan, we must speed up, otherwise, none of us can repay the arrears accumulated by 'Uncle Feng'." ”
"Bai Shiduo, can he still force us to fail?" The man known as "Zhu San" sneered, "This matter leaked out, don't look at his cultivation as high, and kill him like the master." ”
"Crow's beak!" said more than one person.
"Hey, old immortal, I heard that the Yu family is investigating your Huang family, how is it?" Before the words fell, the three of them looked at the old man in the corner together.
"It doesn't matter, they were just doing a little favor, but now they just want to get a piece of the pie by taking advantage of Chu Anlan's death. The old man just moved lazily, "I've already contacted them, and with their people to cover us, we can do it for a long time." ”
"How do you change the divide?"
"Now that the situation has changed, let's change the plan. Uncle Feng still accounts for thirty percent, and the rest of us are all reduced, Zhu San, our Huang family, Bai Shiduo, and your Guangji Hall are each one into five, and now there are more Yu families, they are divided into seven points, leaving three points for the kid of the Chu family, so that he can shut up, and when the spirit stone mine is exhausted, it is convenient to change places, and the other related families will be dealt with by our Huang family. The old man in the corner said.
"Uncle Feng, this old thing, don't do anything, you still need thirty percent!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Do you think that just a few of us can cover the eyes of heaven in this matter? Without Uncle Feng's cover, we won't know which ditch we will die in a few days!"
"Yes, yes, you're right, you're right, your brother, is it also related to this matter?"
"Bai Shizai is looking for death by himself, and he can't complain about others. However, we found someone to divination, and there was no news at all, so it is likely that the soul was destroyed, and ten were killed by monsters. ”
Several people gasped at the same time.
............
"Birds of Prey, the Southern Wind City of the Imperial Wind Sect, thirty-six people, one prefecture-level, one Jindan, thirteen Xuan-level, six foundation-building, of which two Xuan-level consummation, one foundation consummation, and two female cultivators ......"
"Birds of Prey, the Southern Wind City of the Imperial Wind Sect, thirty-six people, one prefecture-level, one Jindan, thirteen Xuan-level, six foundation-building, of which two Xuan-level consummation, one foundation consummation, and two female cultivators ......"
Guo Shucai kept repeating a long sentence, and his head was almost exploding, only to hear Li Dabang next to him emphasize again, "Remember, there can't be a mistake in answering, if you are asked where there is a mistake, you will lose all your efforts." If I ask a question that I haven't thought of, just improvise, be vague if you can say it, be vague, or simply say it's a secret, you know?"
"Where did I carry it?"
He was very unhappy when he was interrupted, of course, only because he was unhappy, the copper ring on his arm was still there, "Anyway, you can get the spirit stone so far?"
"Of course, being anxious for what people need, this is my Li Dabang's forte. The Biyun Sect is now eager for revenge, but it can't rashly raise troops, so it is secretly recruiting powerful loose cultivators. And you are the vice president of the Raptor Club. ”
"Fart birds of prey will!" Guo Shucai complained, "Then why am I not a prefecture-level, nor am I a Jindan?"
"Because you're in charge of making money, but you don't have a lot of power at all, and you can directly influence the president's decisions, you know?"
"Understand a ball. Guo Shucai pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "The help you said you said is that you want me to go with you to swagger and deceive? ”
"Then what else can you do, you are not a prefecture-level, nor is it a Jindan. Li Dabang replied to him in the words of Fang Cai Shucai, "This is not called cheating, this is called a game." He gave us the spirit stone and hired us to ransack the Beijianmen, and we took the spirit stones and left, not only making money, but also not killing anyone, wouldn't it be beautiful? When the time comes, we will find a way to get the list of other loose cultivators, and sell them to the Beijianmen, and we can make a lot of money, of course, I guess that they are just a false name to deal with the Beijianmen, and the real purpose is not in the Beijianmen, but the Jincheng faction. ”
"I owe you only one thing. ”
"Okay, when you help you get the Biyun Sect, I'll help you take off the copper ring, and I'll do what I say. ”
"What about the damn aquatic weeds?"
"You're not saying you only owe me one thing?"
At that moment, Guo Shucai really wanted to kill Li Dabang, but then there was an itchy feeling on his ankle, he knew that this was aquatic plants breeding again, once he moved the killing intent, this aquatic grass would grow inexplicably, it was really a damn thing.
............
Lizong, Nanluo City.
Qiu Nanjia restored her appearance covered with a black veil, and sat on the top to listen to the reports of several stewards about this month's affairs, her mind was very chaotic, even the people who reported could see that she was absent-minded through her lazy posture, so after the hurried report, all the stewards did not stay, for fear of provoking mold, and left in a hurry.
"Ni Dabao, you stay!"
"Yes!"
Ni Dabao, whose clothes were getting wider, was suddenly called by his name, and he was surprised and happy in his heart, surprised that he was the only one who stayed alone to face the right envoy who seemed to be in a bad mood, and he was happy that he finally entered the sight of the high-level.
"Who should investigate that black gas that has turned into golden light?"
Ni Dabao was about to answer the question, but he heard the right envoy ask an inexplicable question, what black gas, what golden light, how to investigate, who to investigate?
He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and glanced up at Liao Shencang, who was expressionless, the other party didn't even have any meaning to speak, and in a panic, he heard another monk take over the conversation.
"Originally, it was Li Zuo who handled this matter, and I didn't know the source of the black qi. The earliest black gas was also sealed in the bottle by Li Zuo by special means, and then it was handed over to the adults, and only a few fell into the hands of Moqiu Spring, and then Moqiu Spring died and was lost. ”
"I know that. Qiu Nan Jia said, "I also know that this black qi comes from a mysterious cave in Fuyuan Town, the Asa Mountain Sect, and many of us have died for this. Has anyone ever handled this before?"
"You also need to ask Zuo Envoy Li. ”
"Okay, I'll naturally go to the president to talk about this. Qiu Nanjia stood up, "Before that, let's settle the matter of Fuyuan Town, are you talking about this matter, Ni Dabao?"
"Yes, it's a subordinate who is doing it!"
"Finalize this as soon as possible!"
"Yes, we have reached an agreement with the Asama Sect in the name of mining mines, Fuyuan Town and ......"
"It's not important, the important thing is that I want to send a lot of more people to Fuyuan Town as soon as possible, understand?" Qiu Nanjia interrupted Ni Dabao's words.
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will do it. ”
Ni Dabao wanted to take the opportunity to show his ability to do things, but he didn't expect that the right envoy was not interested, fortunately, he had already finalized the matter, but what does "a lot of manpower" mean, there is no limit to cultivation, this problem seems to need to be communicated with the Asa Shan Sect as soon as possible, although he believes that the Asa Shan Sect does not have the ability to resist, but if it makes the right envoy unhappy, it is also a troublesome matter.
Moreover, it is difficult for Fuyuan Town to hide some secrets, this is the first time he knows about this, after reporting the conclusion that the minerals of Fuyuan Three Towns are barren, the high-level still approved the cooperation of Fuyuan Three Towns, it seems that this secret is the main reason.
With these speculations in mind, he walked out of the living room tremblingly, and suddenly remembered that there was one thing that had not been reported: Jiang Feng, the head of the Asshan Sect, had not appeared for a long time, and it was suspected that something had happened, and even the scattered cultivation chaos that happened in Donghu County did not come forward to deal with it.
The situation of the Asa Mountain Sect has changed, I don't know if it will affect the decision-making of the high-level for Fu Yuan Town, he hesitated for a moment, or did not go back, now the right envoy is obviously unsettled, it is better not to touch the mold.
............
The winding path led to an unknown distance, but Jiang Feng felt a hint of familiarity. In the chaotic gravel mud on the left and right, mixed with arm-thick dry vines, it was the strange vine that trapped him after escaping from the Yuanchu Dao Palace, Jiang Feng remembered the smell, carefully dug up a piece, and confirmed his guess.
This leads to that small third-order spiritual land?
Jiang Feng faintly had this conjecture, and his steps couldn't help but slow down, and two hours later, he saw a building in the distance that seemed to be put together temporarily.
The tower-type building is three or four zhang high, made of rubble of different sizes, and the surface is scattered and ugly, lacking the order and beauty that normal buildings should have.
This is Yuan Chu's new Dao Palace?
The result is obvious, judging from the ruins of the previous Dao Palace and this new Dao Palace, Yuan Chu has indeed suffered a lot of injuries, perhaps recuperating in the depths of the Dao Palace at this time.
Jiang Feng thought about it, found a remote corner, drank the remaining "Cloud Trick Medicinal Oil" and lurked, and at the same time released a shadow, and quickly entered the Dao Palace without any obstruction, and there was no sign of the existence of the formation, the effective time of the medicinal oil was short, and he had to quickly detect the danger here.
The Dao Palace was dark and lightless, and the entrance was an empty hall, and there was a simple white jade altar with six black secret boxes placed on it, which were the remaining six that he had seen in the Dao Palace before, and Jiang Feng, who had experience, naturally did not touch it, but looked at the simple cave deep underground.
The shadow suddenly went deep into it, and soon felt the fullness of the aura here, this new Dao Palace, as he expected, was built on that small third-order spiritual land, and the spiritual spring not far away also confirmed this.
The walls here are rougher than the outside, as if they were stretched open by brute force, without any carving and whitewashing, and the space is not large, it seems to be only half of the upper floor, about two hundred steps square, and dozens of hideous stone pillars support this space, and at the same time divide this place.
In the center of the room, there was a circular black altar, surrounded by black crystal gravel, and the surface of the altar was carved with complex patterns, like some kind of formation, because it was incompatible with the surrounding environment, Jiang Feng guessed that maybe this altar was also moved from the previous Dao Palace.
The six corners of the altar each have a place where a spirit stone can be embedded, and in terms of size, there must be at least a third-order spirit stone. What is engraved here, is it the formation that came out here?
Jiang Feng was about to look for other clues, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a voice, on a special stone pillar covered with a large number of black stone fragments, a short-haired woman was trapped.
