Chapter 445: On the Occasion of Parting
"A friend of the Jindan realm?"
Zhao Jiyuan stared at Jiang Feng for a long time, as if he wanted to see through whether this "friend" was true, until Jiang Feng confessed that this person was Tu Shan, the former head of Luoying Sect, that Zhao Jiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Normally, the sponsorship of two monks, Yuan Ying or pseudo-heaven level, but you don't want to beat your second senior brother's idea, his identity as the dean of Xuanji Academy cannot be named." ”
Oh, and before I could talk about it, I was seen through?
Hearing this, Jiang Feng was quite disappointed, Qi State Yuanying Jiang Kegui escaped with Yuanying, nowhere to be found, when Senior Brother Zhao Jiyuan mentioned the second Senior Brother Yuwen Haoqi, he still had some hopes in his heart, but after being broken by Senior Brother's words, this only remaining hope was gone, and it seemed that he still had to find someone else to help as soon as possible.
"Even if you help him find a suitable body, he will not be able to take charge of the Luoying Sect again, so what is the use to you?"
"I had a pact with him. Jiang Feng told the truth.
"Senior brother, I can't see that you are a person who keeps his promises. Isn't it a common saying that the mouth of the head of the house is better to believe in ghosts?" Zhao Jiyuan made a joke, but his expression became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Speaking of junior brother, you must not make trouble again these days, otherwise I will be ugly when I am with the master." You should know that I'm not the only vice president here. ”
"Senior brother, are the people here loyal to Master?" Jiang Feng remembered the theft of the "Pupil of True Vision" from the Venerable Cloud Star.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I suspect there's a spy here. ”
"Not your intuition?" Zhao Jiyuan thought for a moment and spit out such a sentence.
"No, but I can't tell. Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't confide in his relationship with the Venerable Cloud Star, which involved the secret of the Ten Thousand Spirits Evil Monarch, although he abandoned himself at a critical moment and put himself in danger, but if he did something to reveal his whereabouts, I am afraid it would not be as simple as being abandoned.
"You can't even speak in front of Master?"
"No, besides, Master, will he meet me?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.
"If you have enough evidence, maybe it will. Zhao Jiyuan's tone was not sure, "Since what you said is not groundless, I can secretly investigate, what can I say?"
"Nothing, all I can tell you is that there is a cell that is a little strange. Jiang Feng truthfully told the Venerable Yunxing what he had seen and heard in the cell, but he didn't say a word about the "True Pupil", and it was not unusual to find something special, but knowing the secret of the Venerable Yunxing for no reason seemed to have another hidden meaning.
"Okay, if you really find something, you will be credited. Zhao Jiyuan said, "Master has been running the Zen Heart Institute for many years, and the people used by him have been following Master for many years. ”
"Senior brother," Jiang Feng had the intention to mention the matter entrusted to him by the Jindan monk, but at this juncture, it didn't seem appropriate, providing help to a certain prisoner, but it made Zhao Jiyuan suspect that he was also related to the Yunxing Venerable, so he abandoned this idea, "I heard that there is a secret method somewhere in the Whale Sea Islands that can improve the Jindan grade, I don't know how to get there?"
"Why bother to go far, as long as you are willing to take the time to find it in the Hokuriku, there are also such secret methods. Zhao Jiyuan looked puzzled, "But since you asked, I happen to know." To go to the Whale Sea Islands, you need to depart from the Nangong family's Heshan Port, and there are only two flights a year, respectively on June 15 and December 5, and only 60 people can participate each time. ”
"How to sign up?" Senior Brother's fluent response made Jiang Feng feel that he had a feeling of endorsement.
"Tongqu Yuan. Only if you file in advance in the Tongqu Academy, you need to pay two fourth-order spirit stones as a boat fee. ”
"Two fourth-order?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but be speechless, his heart was so expensive, so it seemed that those two magic weapons were not very rewarding, and the three hundred third-order weapons hidden under the camphor tree, after paying the boat fare, there were only one hundred left. In case of returning from the Whale Sea Islands, if it is also at this price, it will be a fourth-order loss.
"It's the price, so it's nothing, or don't waste it as well. Besides, your cultivation has only just reached the lower limit where you can go. Why, do you have to go, this year's quota must be full. However, this registration is busy, your second senior brother can help you, Tongqu Courtyard and Xuanji Courtyard are very close, both in the territory of the Nangong family, Lingjian City, thirty miles north of Heshan Port. ”
"Okay, I'll think about it again, as Senior Brother said, maybe Hokuriku is easy to find. Jiang Feng didn't say too much, lest the other party interrogate and reveal the matter of the Xuanhu heart.
"I remember, I have a map of the Whale Sea Islands here, maybe it can help you. Zhao Jiyuan fumbled for a while, and took out a four-foot square map, "This thing will be given to you, although it is a map ten years ago, it should not change much." ”
"Thank you, brother, I hope I won't use it. The fare of two fourth-order ships is not a small amount. Jiang Feng smiled peacefully and put the map away, but he thought in his heart, things seemed to be a coincidence, but he couldn't find out what was strange.
Sending away the senior brother Zhao Jiyuan, Jiang Feng cultivated for several hours in this cave called "Tianlan", and felt refreshed when he landed, every trick point on his body was comfortable, and he secretly thought that the cave built by this third-order spiritual land was different, if there could be one in the door, the cultivation would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
Carefully calculated, he has been staying in this Zen heart temple for more than 40 days, and the return date is approaching, in addition to cherishing this rare "leisure", it is necessary to consider Mu Qingchuan's commission as soon as possible, thinking of this, taking advantage of the leisure of rest, he found the "topaz seal" and "octagonal fine bamboo makeup" that Mu Qingchuan handed over to him, and planned to use the "borrowed object and incarnation" to divinate the current situation of the two people.
Before, Mu Qingchuan said that she would settle down within half a month as soon as possible, but now that it has been so long, even if something happens in the middle, she must find a suitable place to hide, right?
As for Liu Canran, if it weren't for the fact that he had promised Mu Qingchuan in advance, Jiang Feng actually didn't care at all.
............
Red Dragon Gate, Yuqing City, Qiu Mansion.
Liu Canran was meditating and refining his spirits, and suddenly noticed the aura around him, but he saw that on the ink paintings and calligraphy hanging on the four walls, several hidden talismans suddenly lit up with golden light, and in a little panic, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the house.
He hurriedly collected the bamboo board engraved with "Red Dragon Gate, Yuqing City, Qiu Mansion", got up and walked out of the house, but saw that Qiu Daocheng had arrived with two entourage.
"Senior Qiu is polite. Although he was under house arrest here, Liu Canran still maintained his courtesy, after all, the other party had not torn his face, let alone handed himself over to the Imperial Wind Sect.
"Xiaoyou was frightened, and the talisman that was activated just now was prepared by me in the mansion to guard against someone secretly divining you and not being good for you. Qiu Daocheng explained, "Although it is only a warning and does not have the effect of locating the other party in reverse, it is enough to protect your safety." ”
"Thank you, Senior Qiu. Liu Cangran was suddenly shocked, and immediately considered who was divining himself, at first glance, the Yufeng Sect was the most likely, but they had not made any moves for so long, why did they suddenly launch it today? Thinking about it this way, it is very likely to be Jiang Feng, that is the calculation of the senior sister before, but this Qiu Daocheng is obviously a good move, and he actually took precautions in advance for such a thing as "early warning", thinking about it, but he heard Qiu Dao enlightened:
"Little friend, since this place is no longer safe, let's move elsewhere as soon as possible, I have already arranged this matter. I wanted to tell you again tomorrow, but it's better to hit the day than to hit the day, and I'll tell you the good news in advance today. He motioned to the entourage on the left and right to take out three sets of neatly stacked red dragon gate robes, "I have already helped you find an errand, Inuzi Junyan is about to go to Naturalization City to serve as the city lord, and there is still a lack of a staff member, it is better for you to be wronged, and go with you for the time being, Naturalization City is located in the hinterland of the sect, which is more secure for your safety." ”
But it is also more difficult to leave the Red Dragon Gate...... Liu Cangran automatically added a sentence in his heart, secretly thinking that the other party was going to lock himself to the ground, he knew that Qiu Daocheng and the Yufeng Sect were quite close, presumably related to his own affairs, and there must be some negotiations with the sect, judging by his previous attitude, he should want to wait for the price and sell, but obviously, he did not get a satisfactory answer, so he had the intention of keeping himself first, and then mining the potential value.
After a few days in Chilongmen, although the news was closed, through reading the books stored here and the occasional conversations of the servants of the family, Liu Canran had some understanding about the Qiu family and the Naturalization City.
In the north-central part of the Red Dragon Gate, there is a miasma mountain range, called "Yumeng Demon Dragon Ridge", every full moon here, often yin wind roars, there are "mandrill ghosts" haunted, and occasionally there will be a ghost tide, the Pei family is by destroying the monsters here, so the two cities in the north and south of the "Demon Dragon Ridge", the position of the city lord has been held by the Pei family, this time Qiu Daocheng's youngest son Pei Junyan was transferred to the naturalization city as the city lord, it is because Qiu Daocheng's niece and son-in-law unfortunately fell in the ghost tide, as a prefecture-level early stage monk, it can be seen that this "Jade Meng's Demon Dragon Ridge." "The danger is not ordinary.
Coming here to serve as a staff member, it must be more for you to be a pioneer and help you make contributions to the Pei family, right? Liu Cangran came to his senses, but he had no way to refuse for the time being, and while nodding his head in thanks, he was thinking in his heart, how to escape halfway, once he entered the hinterland of the Red Dragon Gate, it was even more difficult to leave.
To the south, from the West Sea Li family to the sea?
Or go east and flee to Lizong first? Liu Canran felt that this matter needed to be settled as soon as possible, but thinking that it might be Jiang Feng who divined himself, he was temporarily inclined to flee to Lizong's plan.
............
Xihai Li's house, somewhere at the entrance to the spiritual ruins.
Law enforcement elders Wang Xiandao and Zhao Liangdi completed all the formalities here and prepared to leave.
Behind Jiang Hai's name, Wang Xiandao drew a circle and signed his name, expressing his agreement that this person had fallen in Lingxu, only his own lack of preparation, and had nothing to do with Lingxu, and he gave up the claim.
In fact, no one has claimed compensation, but this is the rule that Xihai Lingxu has set for many years. This is actually to beware of the monks who fell here, with a deep background, and their families came here to make trouble. Therefore, before entering the spiritual ruins, everyone must make a note and appoint witnesses, indicating that life and death are fateful, and if things go wrong on the road, they will recognize the result.
"Let's go, return to the sect as soon as possible, and your father will be overjoyed to learn of your promotion. Wang Xiandao's expression was slightly gloomy, not only because the Jiang Hai who was traveling with him had not returned, but also because of his trip to the spiritual ruins, he had not made much progress, although he also had some understanding, but it was not enough.
Looking at Zhao Liangdi again, at a young age, his mind is so resolute, not only did he return with his whole body, but he also broke through the realm and reached the Xuan level, and he also became the first female cultivator in the sect to advance to the Xuan level.
With a lot of emotion in his heart, Wang Xiandao was a little disappointed, but looking at the monks around him who were also gloomy, and thinking about his qualifications, his heart was a little peaceful.
"Let's go to the ghost market to have a look, I heard that there are a lot of good things here, and after coming out for so long, you and I need to find some gifts for the head of the sect and fellow sects. ”
"Yes, Elder Wang!" Zhao Liangdi was still polite, not proud of the fact that she was already a fellow monk of Wang Xiandao, on the contrary, her attitude became more and more respectful, which reminded Wang Xiandao of the times when he first entered the Xuan level.
Oh, it's good to be young!
In other words, what should you bring to the boss?
There are also Wu Quanzhong's people, who occupy the quota of the Spirit Ruins, and the few of them must be very unbalanced in their hearts, but fortunately, this is close to the harbor, and the materials are abundant, as long as you have the heart, it is not difficult to find something new.
............
Zen Heart City, Zen Heart Temple. Day forty-eight.
It's finally time to leave here, and I don't know who leaked the news.
Jiang Feng didn't expect the two guards and the four supervisors to come to say goodbye together, and seeing the elated looks on their faces, Jiang Feng knew that they were finally relieved and didn't have to worry about causing them trouble.
Thinking about it, as Xu Funing's "personal disciple", it is indeed a tricky thing to grasp the scale when criticizing. The small banquet was not small, and there were a lot of spirit fruits to eat, and there were even a few kinds of Jiang Feng who had never seen them, but what they said during the banquet was all nonsense that had no boundary, secretly thinking that they were not the same as senior brothers, and they did not have much direct contact with the outside sect, so Jiang Feng's identity as the head of the sect did not have any sense of identity and common topics for them.
The banquet dispersed, Jiang Feng was waiting to rest, but Senior Brother Zhao Jiyuan was late, and he also brought a young monk with brown hair and slightly curly.
"Your third senior brother Wei Zhengtong. Zhao Jiyuan's words were concise and to the point, but he saw that this person looked like a man except for his slightly high cheekbones and white face, but when he was still far away, he could smell the strong smell of pills on his body, and he must still be a famous Dan Master.
"Are you the new disciple accepted by the master?" Wei Zhengtong was slightly fat, his face was calm, he was neither happy nor sad, and he spoke very bluntly.
"Exactly, Jiang Feng has seen the third senior brother. ”
"Seeing that your qualifications are average, there must be something else extraordinary. "Wei Zhengtong's words, although they are different from the senior brother's original questioning outside Fuyuan Town, but the core meaning is the same, worthy of being a disciple of the same master, it can be seen that Xu Funing's requirements for apprentices should be to have a skill, and there can be shortcomings, but at least they must not hide their flaws.
"I am a master, and I chose the master as an offering for the Asayama Sect, so the master made an exception and recorded the junior brother and me into the door wall. Jiang Feng had to tell the truth, this was also the reason why Senior Brother finally agreed with him.
"I see. Wei Zhengtong's face did not change, "Where did your body quenching method come from? Can you have a complete method? or other similar methods?"
"This thing is from a fellow Daoist of the Li Sect, but not long ago, he had fallen into the 'Thousand Illusions'. Jiang Feng said truthfully, Ge Ping's death actually has no actual relationship with himself, even if he reluctantly said it, he just saw death and did not save him, which has nothing to hide.
"Dead?" in that case...... Wei Zhengtong pondered for a moment, "I heard that you will leave tomorrow, so it is better to go to Lizong with me and end this matter." Let me ask you, is the owner of this 'body quenching method' a prominent person, and is he a member of the five major families?"
"Probably not. Jiang Feng recalled Chu Yiming's introduction to Ge Ping at the beginning, and he did not deliberately mention this point, and the probability of this is not very high.
"That's a lot easier. ”
"Senior Brother Wei, Senior Brother I also have something to ask for. Seeing that Wei Zhengtong was so clean and neat, Jiang Feng immediately remembered the matter of the female Jin Dan, and secretly thought that maybe there was something about this matter, so he immediately called Wei Zhengtong aside, only saying that he was dragged by his friends and wanted to transfer the female cultivator to another level.
"What's that female cultivator's name?" I didn't expect Wei Zhengtong to ask with his head raised, but he said nothing.
Oh no, I forgot to ask, what is the name of that female cultivator?" Jiang Feng was shocked in his heart, and his face couldn't help but be a little uncomfortable, but he heard Wei Zhengtong snort, "Actually, I don't care what the specific reason is, but since I have a request for you, I will help you with this." After finishing speaking, he didn't go to coordinate with Senior Brother Zhao Jiyuan, turned around and walked out of Jiang Feng's cave mansion, and turned around after a while.
"It's done, let's go together tomorrow!"
