TEXT 113 This is not what it used to be
On the edge of the clear ghost-feeding blood lake, on the stone platform with the left knee guard, a thick layer of white powder is piled up.
However, it was not dust, but a spirit stone that had burst out due to absorption in the past two years.
After two years of hard work, Zuo Hu truly realized how much Simon's ghost-feeding blood lake had helped him in the first place.
For two years, day and night, nearly hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were consumed. Only then did the blank space of the soul clothes on the back shrink by five or six inches.
There are still fist-sized ones that haven't been covered.
Perhaps it is close to the realm of enlightenment, and the requirements for soul power in the soul clothes are getting higher and higher, and the cultivation speed is getting slower and slower. Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones are consumed in two years, and such a large consumption is comparable to that of a monk who builds the foundation of the Great Perfection. Fortunately, Zuo Hu has some family background. Otherwise, you can only go out and grab it. Then again, these things were originally grabbed.
In his storage space, there are nearly 10 million spirit stones. Enough to afford such a large consumption. If possible, the Left Guardian intends to remain in retreat like this until he enters the Enlightenment Period. Extract essence blood and unseal butterflies.
However, things always backfired.
Just now, I received a message from Chenwei. Ye Hongyu invited him out of the customs and had important matters to discuss.
Left guard to collect the work, open your eyes!
After more than two years of retreat, his breath is more stable. After the soul clothes are covered, except for the fist-sized place at the vest, which is slightly fragile, the left guard can resist the full force of the monk in the middle of the foundation building period without the slightest damage!
Now, if he meets Zhu Ping again. There is no longer a need for butterflies to make a move, you can fight against it without falling behind, at least you can have the power of self-protection!
Unconsciously, Zuo Hu has become a master, even surpassing Blue Ice and Ye Hongyu.
Although I don't know how it will compare to Simon, who is proficient in many great spells, and the ancient enemy who tends to be successful in lion brute arts. But there is no longer any need to look up at the immortal cultivators in the foundation building period as before.
He stood up, and the seventeen-year-old Zuo Hu became more and more heroic, and his handsome face had a little more manly fortitude.
No one would believe that on this continent, a seventeen-year-old boy was already qualified to defeat an immortal cultivator who had been cultivating for decades.
Because the left guard has always regarded cultivation as a secret. Therefore, even Ye Hongyu didn't know how powerful he was.
Maybe he still regards Zuo Hu as an ignorant and hairy boy who needs protection.
.......
Push open the door of the secret palace and walk up the steps against the wind and snow.
I saw that the white pine was under it. Serve a beautiful woman.
The pink fox fur shirt is like a plum blossom in the milky white frost and snow.
That beauty is Chenwei who is waiting outside.
Seeing Zuo Hu coming out, she greeted her with a light smile and restrained the deep love in her eyes. Chenwei gave a slight salute.
Congratulations to the son. ”
Zuo Hu held her arm and laughed, "I haven't seen her for many days, Chenwei's girl has become beautiful again, I just see my heart itching and scratching!"
Chenwei originally had a love for Zuo Hu, where could she withstand his teasing. His cheeks were red, and his eyes were lowered and he just smiled shyly. How did she know that Zuo Hu had been in the beauty pile for a long time in the past few years. Temperament inevitably becomes frivolous. In addition, he is only 17 years old, which is a good age to show mercy everywhere. For any woman, she is used to flamboyant tongue.
Seeing that he was naughty, Zuo Hu couldn't help laughing. Holding Chenwei's hand.
"Let's go, Ye Hongyu is generally okay and doesn't look for me." Now that I have sent you to the secret palace to get me out of the customs, there must be something important. ”
Feeling the strength and temperature of the left palm, Chen Wei nodded stiffly. Obviously he came to convey important news, but at this time, he was like a willing captive, a stupid puppet, and his mind did not listen to the call. This made Chen Wei, who was holding her arm and following behind the left guard, both shy and annoyed.
When I came to the small pavilion of the council hall, I saw Ye Hongyu lying on the long case to deal with the papers. She cultivated to a high level, so even in the cold winter, she was only wearing a black gauze shirt. Tighten the waist, very graceful.
Light eyebrows and red lips, bright eyes and sideburns. There is a wild nature that no one can control her.
In the past two years, Ye Hongyu has taken advantage of the loophole of Rotten Keting to weave a net in the Ghost Hill Country.
In the name of defeating the ancient enemy, the powerful monks of the dark sect were installed in many regions.
It can be said that this is the first time in hundreds of years that the Tailuo Kingdom has infiltrated the Guiqiu Kingdom so effectively. Ye Hongyu also contributed to this, and his prestige in the Dark Sect increased greatly. She has just completed the foundation of cultivation, but she has the right to dispatch Zifeng's high-class secret guards. If necessary, she can cross the affairs sect and extract any amount of spirit stones, immortal jade, magic weapons, and pills. The power of life and death does not need to be interrogated by the law enforcement hall. Only obey the orders of the Dark Sect Sect Master.
Therefore, the status of Ye Hongyu is quite transcendent. As a superior person, he naturally has a cold temperament.
But all this, in front of Zuo Hu, seems very powerless.
As Simon's left protector, he is nominally Ye Hongyu's boss. He is also present in the ghost control plan of Rotten Keting, and has been appreciated by the palace master Mu He. It can be said that Zuo Hu is a dark horse like a new star in the Dark Sect. If he wants, he will be on an equal footing with Ye Hongyu in using the power of the Dark Sect. In addition, he has a good relationship with Ye Hongyu. In case of major events, the two will discuss the ruling. Therefore, the identity of the left protector is like a prince. The guards were also very respectful to him. Who can believe that this guy has just entered the Dark Sect three years ago. Even the systematic secret guard cultivation has not been carried out.
Ye Hongyu saw Zuo Hu coming in, followed by the shy Chenwei. Then he said, "Chenwei, you go down first." We have something to discuss. ”
Chenwei gave the order and withdrew.
Zuo Hu sat down on one side, and looked up and down with Ye Hongyu generously.
After getting acquainted with her, I am no longer afraid of Ye Hongyu's eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, but feel more and more kind. If one day, Ye Hongyu discarded that kind of look, it must make Zuo Hu feel very uneasy.
Ye Hongyu said lightly, "It seems that the retreat is quite effective. I bothered you, didn't you scold me in your heart?"
Zuo Hu nodded solemnly, "Well, I scolded you several times." Something that has to interrupt my retreat. ”
Ye Hongyu increased his forehead with his hand and sighed. I don't want to scold you...... It's just that Fang Zongyou is coming back. ”
Zuo Hu was shocked, but his face did not change, "Oh?
Ye Hongyu smiled lightly and nodded, very satisfied with Zuo Hu's performance today. If in the past, when he heard such news, Zuo Hu must have said the first thing he would have said, "Then what should I do?"
But now the left protector doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. Gradually, I learned how to take responsibility.
It must be just these days. His advance envoy had arrived at Songzi Fort. I have awakened the puppeteer of the ancient enemy to deal with it. ”
Zuo Hu nodded clearly, "Sent an advance envoy to Songzi Fort, it seems that Fang Zongyou's trip is to complete the official delivery of the position of the ancient enemy demon." ”
Ye Hongyu looked at him appreciatively, "Yes, the advance envoy did reveal the news. ”
"Then it's easy to do, control the puppets well, don't show flaws, send Fang Zongyou away, everything is fine!"
Ye Hongyu pondered for a moment, "If it's just like this, it's really easy to do." But.... Fang Zongyou had already learned the news of Simon's success, and seemed to be quite interested in this matter. I guess he'll take the initiative to meet you. In this case, there are a lot of variables. We should think about how to deal with it before that. ”
After listening to the left, he suddenly felt that it was quite tricky. Previously, Simon dragged a sick body to work. Although his combat power was extraordinary, he looked like he was dying, so that Fang Zongyou did not dare to entrust him with a big task. That's why the ancient enemy was put on the throne. Now, Simon has succeeded. But Fang Zongyou turned his gaze to Simon again.
However, it seems that in the case of the left protector. It is unlikely that Fang Zongyou will let the ancient enemy withdraw and give the demon envoy the position to himself. But there is another reuse, for sure.
If so, it will disrupt the peaceful life that is now at ease. It also disrupted the original plan to work together with Ye Hongyu to control and take care of the rotten Keting and the new fine work context.
But in any case, the left guard has to deal with the next test.
Fang Zongyou was a monk in the Dan period, able to be a demon envoy, and was reused by the evil guards. Definitely not an ordinary man. Dealing with such immortal cultivators is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger. But what's worse is that the left guard has to play with him.
Sighing, Zuo Hu said, "Okay, I'll prepare well." ”
Looking at Zuo Hu's handsome face, which had become quite mature, Ye Hongyu suddenly felt unbearable.
Such a young man, not to mention being young in the world of cultivating immortals, is distressing. Even in the mortal world, he is just a child who has just faded from his childishness. But he has already gone through too many hardships. And any one of those tribulations, if the slightest mishap, was enough to make him doom.
However, the mission of the Dark Sect has made him sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of danger again and again.
Thinking of this, Ye Hongyu felt a little apologetic, feeling as if he had pulled this young man into the water, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger.... As a result, the emotion appeared in his eyes again, and he became soft again. If you ask, in this world, who can break her originally calm heart like a lake.
That person is the left protector.
Putting the scroll aside, Ye Hongyu stood up and walked down the stairs slowly.
Tranquil and gentle, with a light fragrance.
Sit down beside Zuo Hu, lazy and quiet, stretch out your wrist, and pour a cup of Yetan tea.
"Are you afraid to see Fang Zongyou?" asked Ye Hongyu.
Zuo Hu unceremoniously picked up the tea and drank it, "Afraid?" I never knew what it was like to be afraid. ”
Squinting at Ye Hongyu, "It's not that I'm bragging, although I have less experience than you." But the battle of life and death will definitely not be lost to you. ”
Ye Hongyu smiled helplessly.
I thought to myself, why every time I want to comfort him, this guy always likes to say some big things to himself?
It's no wonder that Zuo Hu, all along, Ye Hongyu gave him the impression that he was smart, scheming, and able to understand everyone's hearts.
He felt that if he was not careful, he would be controlled and restrained by such a woman.
Left Protector never wanted to be tied down.
Therefore, Ye Hongyu should be regarded as a thorny rose for Zuo Hu.
Although it is beautiful and worth admiring, it is also necessary to beware of it stabbing your hands.
