Chapter 10: The Monk in the Secret Place

Everyone gathered in the front yard and left the Gu house under the leadership of Qin Guan. Gu Weirui hadn't condensed yet, so she stayed at home to take care of the spirit cranes left behind. Out of the gap in the wall, Song Laosan led the way on the side, and Qingjing and others pressed Sun Li and others to walk behind, and more than ten people walked towards the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Xingxing City. Although their group of people were dressed plainly, Song Laosan was even dressed in tatters, but the momentum was transcendent, and even Song Laosan, who was used to hunching over on weekdays, straightened his waist, lest he lose face to Qin Guan and others.

The pedestrians on the road looked sideways at everyone, and the bold ones secretly peeked at them on the side, and the timid ones didn't even dare to peek, so they only lowered their heads and squeezed back, for fear of provoking Qin Guan and them. It's no wonder that the pedestrians were afraid, they tied Sun Li and others with ropes, and also gave Sun Li and others a forbidden spell, the pedestrians had seen Sun Li's evil deeds of oppressing the people, so they suddenly saw a group of strangers pressing Sun Li, and they all speculated where the strongman came from, and it was not good for the city lord's mansion. The three major families also have eyes and ears in the city, and when they saw such a scene, they ran to the family to report the news while people were not paying attention.

After walking for half an hour, Qin Guan and his party walked outside the City Lord's Mansion. There were no less than 100 people waiting for Qin Guan and them outside the City Lord's Mansion, with long swords and short swords in their hands, staring at Qin Guan and them with fierce eyes, it was estimated that there were people in the City Lord's Mansion who were worried that Qin Guan would be unfavorable to the City Lord's Mansion, so they waited for Qin Guan and them to arrive outside the mansion early. In front of more than 100 family members was a burly strong man, eight feet tall, holding two big hammers in his hands, and his eyes were shining with fierce light. "This person is the fierce general of the City Lord's Mansion, named Wu Qi, and he is the great commander of the City Lord's Mansion, except for the worship of the elder Hao Zhicheng, he is the most respected by the previous city lord. Song Laosan quietly introduced several leading figures of the City Lord's Mansion to Qin Guan behind Qin Guan.

"Who are you? Why do you want to hold the family members of the City Lord's Mansion hostage? What are your intentions, don't you hurry up and let them go!" Wu Qi stood in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and shouted at Qin Guan.

Qin Guan didn't care about the rudeness of this strong man, shook the dust in his hand, and said, "I have something important to discuss with your city lord, these people are just a small meeting gift." ”

Wu Qi saw that Qin Guan had no fear, and said things that he didn't understand, and he couldn't be the master, he was suddenly a little surprised, and just wanted to scold Qin Guan and the others, he saw an old man walk out of the courtyard, saluted Qin Guan, and said: "Immortal master, don't blame this reckless person in the mansion, the city lord is waiting for the arrival of the immortal master in the mansion, and specially ordered me to come out to welcome the immortal master into the mansion." "The old man is none other than Hao Zhicheng, the enshrined elder of the City Lord's Mansion that Song Laosan said.

Hao Zhicheng was sincere, and after saluting, he motioned to Wu Qi to put away the weapon in his hand, and after muttering a few words, he bowed down to welcome Qin Guan and the others into the mansion. Qin Guan understood that someone in this city lord's mansion had already received the news, this Wu Qi was just a dismount, if it was a liar with poor psychological quality, this scare was probably timidly and ran away. Hao Zhicheng is Huairou's means, and the combination of rigidity and softness doesn't look like the means of the little city lord, which is probably what this old man Hao meant. "Hey, it's no wonder that this city lord's mansion is in a single line, and it can also stabilize the rule of this huge city, some people have the money and the means, tsk, it's really interesting. ”

Qin Guan ignored Wu Ke and watched his group fiercely on the side, and under the leadership of Hao Zhicheng, he slowly walked into the City Lord's Mansion from the encirclement of his family. Originally, Wu Qi also wanted Qin Guan to hand over Sun Li and the others to him, after all, they were people from the City Lord's Mansion, and they all entered the City Lord's Mansion and tied up the people from the City Lord's Mansion, which made his face disgraceful. Qin Guan refused cleanly, and didn't explain anything, just said that he would know the reason after a while.

Walking into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there were maidservants standing in two rows to greet everyone, Qin Guan didn't mean to talk to Hao Zhicheng, but just swept the huge City Lord's Mansion with his spiritual sense, and after being slightly stunned, he followed Hao Zhicheng inside calmly. Hao Zhicheng was observing Qin Guan's face all the way, and seeing that he didn't feel anything about the splendid pavilions and pavilions in the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately had a higher evaluation of Qin Guan, and it was estimated that Qin Guan was a monk sent by a famous family, and he was indifferent to such a scene. In fact, Qin Guan was used to seeing magnificent buildings in his previous life, and he was not the slightest surprised by the scene here in the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Hao Zhicheng.

After walking for a while, everyone came to the meeting room, and the family who had just walked in with everyone stood in the courtyard, while Qin Guan and his party entered the meeting room under the leadership of Hao Zhicheng and Wu Qi. There was no one in the living room, only a weak young man with red lips and white teeth standing in the living room waiting. When the young man saw Hao Zhicheng and Wu Qi leading Qin Guan and them into the house, he bowed and saluted, and said, "In Xia Helian Hao, I welcome all the immortal masters to my small mansion. If the greeting is not thoughtful, I hope that all the immortal masters Haihan. Qin saw that although this young man's body was a little weaker, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he felt that this Helian Hao was a talent, but unfortunately it seemed that his body had some hidden diseases. Qin Guan bowed back and said, "Helian City Lord doesn't need to be polite, he is coming down abruptly. After all the salutes, they sat down on chairs in the hall.

Qin Guan asked Qingjing and them to put down Sun Li and the others in their hands, and then said to Helian Hao and them: "I came here today because I have something to discuss with Helian City Lord. These people came to the place where we and others settled in the morning to provoke, but they were caught by us, and they also heard a news from them, so they thought of coming to the city lord to inform them. ”

Helian Hao motioned to Wu Qi to untie the rope of Sun Li and the others, but Wu Qi untied the rope and saw Sun Li and the others sitting on the ground in a daze, so he immediately wanted to ask Qin Guan what they had done. Before he could speak, Qin Guan said: "These people are fine, but I have cast a soul-losing spell, and what I want to say next is better not to let them hear it." Then he told everything that Qingjing Qingxuan had obtained from Sun Li's interrogation. Helian Hao and Hao Zhicheng glanced at each other, the expression on their faces remained unchanged, as if they had already known, only Wu Qi glared angrily at Sun Li and the others, if it weren't for Helian Hao and Hao Zhicheng, it is estimated that Sun Li and the others would have been smashed into minced meat with the sledgehammer in their hands.

Helian Hao saluted Qin Guan and expressed his gratitude, and ordered the family outside to suppress Sun Li and the others and detain them. Hao Zhicheng said to Qin Guan: "I don't know why the Immortal Master came to our Star City? The City Lord's Mansion will definitely do its best to help the Immortal Master achieve his goal." Qin Guan smiled and said, "There's no purpose, it's just a random place to stay." Helian Hao heard Qin Guan say this, half-convinced, and gestured to Hao Zhicheng, then listened to Hao Zhicheng continue: "I don't know if the immortal master has a favorite place? As long as it is the land on this star island, the immortal master can demarcate the boundary and station. In addition, the city lord's mansion can also build pavilions for you, and we will also be responsible for all daily use. What does the Immortal Master think?" Qin Guan knew that this old man had promised benefits and wanted to get help from Qin Guan and them so that he could deal with the other three families. However, on the way here, he had already agreed with Song Laosan, anyway, he and the others had to live on the island for a few days, and exchanging their ability for status was better than overwhelming people by force, and it was more in line with their concept of cultivation of the Three Qingguan.

Qingjing and Qingxuan are okay, they are used to seeing the worldly wealthy families, and they are not surprised by Helian Hao's tone. The teenagers are all children who have never seen the world, they have lived in the mountains for more than ten years, and they have never seen such a wealthy family. Even Song Laosan, who was standing behind Qin Guan, couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and he was one step closer to his goal of getting ahead. Qin Guan didn't answer Hao Zhicheng's words, but recited the heart-purifying mantra in a deep voice: "Taishang Taixing, strain without stopping, drive away evil spirits, and protect your life." Wisdom is clear, the mind is at peace, the three souls are eternal, and the spirit is not lost. Hurry like a law!" Song Laosan and the young men were suddenly shocked, the distracting thoughts in their hearts were suddenly eliminated, and their eyes returned to clarity. Qin Guan saw that everyone was a little carried away, and he was afraid that everyone's Dao heart would be lost, so he used the Pure Heart Mantra to clear everyone's hearts. Then he said to the teenagers: "Go back and write the mantra a hundred times with the cloud seal, and you won't be able to eat today until you finish it." The teenagers did not dare to resist, and bowed down and clasped their fists to answer yes.

Helian Hao and Hao Zhicheng were a little embarrassed sitting on the side, but they didn't expect Qin Guan to be overcome, and they were indifferent to such an obvious courtship. Helian Hao is young after all, although he has been taught how to be a good city lord since he was a child, but he suddenly met someone who didn't give him face, and he didn't know what to say. It was still Hao Zhicheng's old fritters, praised Qin Guan for a while, and then continued to ask about what happened just now.

Qin Guan replied, "Well, the places that our monks need are not as ordinary as ordinary ones, and we don't need any prosperous places, but there are some quiet and elegant places full of spiritual energy, which are the best places for us to practice. I don't know if there is anything on the island?" In fact, he just asked casually, if there is any spiritual land on the Star Island, it is estimated that it is not a place where mortals live for a long time, maybe it will be occupied by monks before the mortals settle, where is the turn of the Helian family to create the Star City.

Hao Zhicheng nodded to Helian Hao secretly, Helian Hao seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Qin Guan: "Immortal Master, I really know of such a place, but I don't know if the Immortal Master has the ability to take it." Qin Guan asked curiously, "Could it be that the monk in the mansion told you?" Helian Hao and Hao Zhicheng's faces suddenly changed. Originally, only the two of them knew about this matter, but they didn't expect Qin Guan to find out the clue when he came to the mansion for the first time. They still thought that Qin Guan was so young, and it was estimated that his cultivation was just Er'er, who knew that even the whereabouts of the monks in the mansion could be discovered, so they would have to reassess Qin Guan's cultivation. Wu Ke was a little confused, what kind of monk Laoshizi, he had been in the City Lord's Mansion for so many years, and he hadn't found any one who was a monk? Could it be that this young man was mistaken? But no matter how stupid he was, he could also see that Helian Hao and Hao Zhicheng's faces were wrong, and he just wanted to open his mouth and shout, complaining that Helian Hao and Hao Zhicheng didn't tell him about it. Hao Zhicheng couldn't say it well, he stepped forward and wanted to cover Wu Qi's big mouth, this matter is a secret of the City Lord's Mansion, don't be yelled at by him. As soon as he set off and rushed to Wu Qi's side, he heard Qin Guan read softly: "Forbidden." I saw that Wu Qi's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his mouth opened and closed like a goldfish on the shore, babbling and unable to speak. Hao Zhicheng whispered in Wu Qi's ear and warned him not to make a noise, because he was afraid that he would not be strict in his mouth and reveal the news, so he didn't dare to tell him. Then he bowed to Qin Guan again, which was regarded as thanking Qin Guan for his hand. Qin Guan smiled, shook off the dust, and unlocked Wu Qi's silence spell. Wu Qi knew the evil of Qin Guan's spell, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and cautiously ran behind Hao Zhicheng, he didn't want to experience the pain of being unable to say anything anymore.

Helian Hao said: "Immortal Master, don't blame me for not saying it in advance, the monk in the house is really my elder, because the cultivation has gone wrong, and my elder will definitely not show up until the last resort." Qin Guan understands that this is the dependence of the Helian family that has stood on Star Island for five hundred years, but what happened when the cultivation went wrong, could it be that he has gone mad? But I haven't heard that people who have gone mad can still retain their own consciousness and still live in the mortal dust. Qin Guan curiously asked Helian Hao about this matter, and Helian Hao didn't know the reason, he just said that this elder couldn't speak, and his body couldn't move, and he could only make a move at a critical moment, and if he moved lightly, he would be in danger of falling.

Qin Guan pondered for a moment, when his spiritual sense scanned the City Lord's Mansion just now, he found that the spiritual energy in a place in the City Lord's Mansion was obviously stronger than the surrounding area, although it was not up to the standard of the spiritual land, but it was also a rare spiritual place among mortals. He was a little curious, and after a subtle glance, he found that there was a monk in that place who was absorbing spiritual energy, although his cultivation was only in the middle stage of qi cultivation, but if it wasn't for the enchantment formation of the Qin Guan Society's foundation, he really wouldn't have noticed that place. Qin Guan was a little curious about the monk's situation, so he asked Helian Hao to take him to check it out, maybe he had a way to solve the monk's troubles. Qin Guan is confident that the inheritance he has obtained from Changwuzi and Ling Xiaozi has been involved in most of the incurable diseases in his cultivation, although he can't solve many things due to cultivation, but how difficult can a monk in the middle of Qi cultivation encounter?

Helian Hao still wanted to excuse himself, after all, the secrets of his family were known to others, so it was not a very wise move, and before he could say anything, a familiar voice came from his ears: "Bring this Taoist friend, this Taoist friend has cultivated to a high level at a young age, and he will not covet our family's exercises." Helian Hao knew that his elder's decision could not be changed, so he had to bow down and salute Qin Guan and said, "Please also ask the immortal master to come with me, my elder is unable to move, so he ordered me to lead the immortal master there." Qin Guan nodded and motioned for him to lead the way in front.

After bypassing the four courtyards, I came to a quiet small courtyard, the yard was planted with strange flowers and plants, although it was not a precious spiritual grass, but a swallow and spit out the spiritual energy, it could increase the spiritual energy content of the courtyard, which made Qin Guan and others amazed.
