Chapter Seventy-One: Their Own Plans
That night, in a secret room in a large hall, two black-clothed men were kneeling on one knee, and standing in front of them was the sect master of the Yin Puppet Sect, Situ Xiong.
I only heard one person: "Sect Master, originally the two of us had a chance to make a move, but that Dan Sect's Elder Yan suddenly appeared and coerced that kid, so ......"
Situ Xiong's face was displeased, and he said to himself with a hint of doubt: "Why did Danzong suddenly intervene, and you didn't follow him to take a look?"
One said: "The subordinates naturally followed, but that Elder Yan's cultivation was far above the two of us, we didn't dare to follow too closely, and when we arrived at the courtyard where Elder Yan lived, the two of us stared at it from afar, and it took a long time for that Mu Qing to come out, and that Elder Yan also came out, and sent this kid all the way to the inn, the two talked and laughed, and they were very intimate." β
Situ Xiong's face was even worse, and said: "Danzong, Danzong, we can't afford to provoke Danzong, this Elder Yan didn't take Mu Qing back to the sect but went to the other courtyard, it is likely that there is some kind of hookup in private, you go and inform Chen Xuanji Chen Daoyou of this matter quickly, and let him investigate carefully." Also, just in case, bring in the people with iron thorns, and if it's inconvenient for us to do it ourselves, let them do it!"
The two men agreed, and as soon as their bodies moved, they disappeared.
Situ Xiong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and said to himself: "Let your kid escape once, and see if you have such good luck next time." β
......
Mu Qing returned to the inn, but she didn't see Qiu Lan, Lu Wanning and everyone else, probably going to the auction again, so she returned to the room to meditate, thinking about the second competition tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, Mu Qing, accompanied by Qiu Lan and Lu Wanning, came to the Danzong Gate again, but this time outsiders were allowed to watch, so the three of them went inside with the team.
Walk through several pavilions, the front suddenly concave, it turned out to be a pentagonal pit, there are hundreds of zhang wide, the big pit is more than ten zhang lower than the surrounding, there are layers of stone steps around, the big pit is neatly placed in the middle of hundreds of huge Dan furnaces, the Dan furnace style is simple, the shape is the same, half a person is more than high, three people hug the thickness.
Ten zhang apart from the big pit, a disciple of Danzong stands, men and women, the man holds a five-color flag, and the woman holds an incense burner, the incense burner is full of green smoke, exuding a rich fragrance.
At this moment, thousands of monks have gathered here, in addition to those who came to participate in the second round of the competition, more people came to cheer for their friends or fellow disciples, and many came to see the excitement.
There are also some sects that specially send spies to watch the battle, and once they find those scattered cultivators who have not achieved excellent results, but have good qualifications, they will strongly invite them to join the sect.
I saw a person walking slowly to the center of the big pit, it was the Chen Xuanji from yesterday.
Chen Xuanji stood still, and said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, this place is the Ten Thousand Furnace Platform of my Dan Sect, and the Taoist friends who come here for the first time must be strange, why is this Ten Thousand Furnaces concave in the ground? β
Listening to what Chen Xuanji said, everyone was stunned.
Chen Xuanji said: "The following is the second round of the Bandan Competition, the rules are also very simple, this sect provides ten copies of intermediate pill materials for all the juniors who participated, and the competition is alchemy, and the three groups of juniors will become the fastest in one day, and the top ten people with the most will enter the final competition." Now, please come to the stage. β
As soon as Chen Xuanji's voice fell, there were already monks who began to walk towards the 10,000 furnace platform.
Mu Qing said in his heart: It turns out that this second round is faster and more successful than alchemy, which is a piece of cake. Thinking about it, he made a "look at me" gesture to Qiu Lan and Lu Wanning, and walked towards the Wanlu platform.
Qiu Lan smiled back, and Lu Wanning shouted loudly: "I don't know, come on!"
......
The monks on the Ten Thousand Furnace Platform were divided into three groups, each group had the appearance of forty or fifty people, and the young man in white also entered this second competition.
Mu Qing did not use the method of refining three pills at the same time, but refining them one by one, and the speed was not slow.
The crowd of onlookers erupted in cheers from time to time, and it was an alchemist Cheng Dan who came out.
Mu Qing controlled the magic array with one hand to promote fire, and the other hand was on the Dan furnace, his divine sense controlled the firepower, he tried to be steady, but he successfully refined six pills in half a day, and the success rate was 100%.
Suddenly, there was a cheer in the crowd, Mu Qing turned his head to look, only to see that the young man in white opened the pill furnace and took out the last two pills, and had already completed the refining of ten pills, and all of them were successful.
Mu Qing was secretly shocked in her heart: This person turned out to be a strong opponent! I'm afraid that in the final final, I will have to compete with this person. At the same time, he also realized that this person was probably the hidden disciple of the Dan Sect, and he came to guard the Nine Yang Incineration Furnace!
Another hour passed, and Mu Qing completed the refining of ten pills with the fifth place, which was also perfect and all successful.
Qiu Lan and Lu Wanning waved vigorously to Mu Qing in the stands, their faces full of joy.
......
After Chen Xuanji announced the final results and arranged for the third competition three days later, the competition came to an end.
The three days passed quickly, and in the early morning of the fourth day, Mu Qing had just gotten up, Qiu Lan arrived at the door of the room, and Mu Qing hurriedly welcomed her in.
Qiu Lan said: "Brother Qing, I have already told all the senior brothers about your passing two levels in a row, everyone is cheering, today is the final, we have to watch the game together." β
Mu Qing smiled: "That's good, I just have something to tell you, Sister Lan invited everyone to my house, how about it?"
Qiu Lan went with a smile, and after a short time, he had already invited all the disciples of the Yunlan Sect to Mu Qing's room, except for Chu Jiangxiao, everyone was happy. You must know that if you can get a good ranking in the Banten Competition, it will also be extremely beneficial to the reputation of the Yunlan Sect.
Mu Qing opened his mouth and said, "Thank you senior brothers and sisters for coming to help, but I have something to say ahead." β
Lu Wanning said excitedly: "I don't know, if you need help, just say it, senior sister, I will do my best." β
The little junior brother Lei Ming also said: "Senior Brother Yang will say it if he has something to say." β
Zhao Tianyang, the black-faced man of Yunjufeng, said in a thick voice: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Yang to be able to pass two levels in a row, no wonder Elder Mi wanted to accept you as a personal disciple, I thought he was blind at that time!"
This Zhao Tianyang was straightforward, and directly said what was in his heart, Gao Chuan on the side pulled his sleeve, but he said: "What's the matter, what do I say, I didn't watch the first two games, and I will definitely cheer for Senior Brother Yang's final this time." β
Chu Jiang smiled but said coldly: "Senior Brother Yang, if you have something to say, just say it." β
Mu Qing said: "After this final, even if the task given to me by the master is completed, I will not stay, as soon as the competition is over, I will leave to return to the sect immediately." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately puzzled, and Qiu Lan said: "This Bandan Conference will be held for a month? Brother Qing, why are you in a hurry to go back? You can't control the flying magic weapon, but how can you return? Is it possible that you have to run all the way back?"
Mu Qing said: "An elder of the Dan Sect made an appointment with me to go to our Yunlan Sect, and I will go with him." β
"What, an elder of the Dan Sect is going to our Yunlan Sect?" Chu Jiangxiao immediately asked in surprise.
Mu Qing said: "Yes, the specific reason is not convenient for me to explain now, and when I return to the Yunlan Sect, everyone will know." β
Mu Qing said this is actually only one of the reasons, the second is that he is ready to win the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Furnace, and when the treasure furnace arrives, he naturally has to smear oil on the soles of his feet, and slip away, and the Danzong of the province has found various reasons to come and snatch it, and third, Mu Qing has thought about it carefully in the past few days, he beat the son of the sect leader of the Yin Puppet Sect that day, this Yin Puppet Sect should logically come to find some trouble, but it has been so quiet for the past few days, this is not a good sign, it is likely that a big crisis is born under this surface calm, although there is that Yan Haoran with him, but he is still not ten percent sure, and he must hurry up and leaveγ
However, the latter two reasons cannot be explained to everyone.
Chu Jiang smiled but changed his voice, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will also go back with my junior brother, there are elders of the Dan Sect who come to worship the mountain, and I, as the eldest disciple of the sect master, will not accompany me all the way, so it can't be said." β
Hearing Chu Jiang say with a smile, that Yuan Ruyi immediately said: "The task assigned to me by the master is almost completed, and I will go back with me." β
Mu Zheng's eyes rolled and said, "I'll go back too." What he thought in his heart was naturally different from others, he was afraid that Mu Qing would get a good ranking in the Wandan Competition this time, and he would be superior in front of the sect master after he went back, and if he didn't go back to watch, would his "preferential treatment" be robbed by Mu Qing?
Qiu Lan and Lu Wanning were about to open their mouths, but Mu Qing raised his hand to stop the two of them, and said, "A few senior brothers and sisters want to go with me, this is no problem, Senior Sister Qiu Lan and Senior Sister Lu, the task of the two of you sect has not been completed, so it is not too late to stay for a few more days before leaving, and let Senior Sister Lu control the lark when you go back." As he spoke, Mu Qing handed Qiu Lan a look full of meaning.
Qiu Lan immediately understood, although he didn't know Mu Qing's true meaning, Mu Qing really wanted to let himself and return to the sect separately from him, so he said: "Thank you, Brother Qing, Senior Sister Lu and I do have some things here, so let's delay it for a few more days." β
So, everyone discussed it and finally decided that after Mu Qing's third competition, they would return to the sect with Chu Jiangxiao, Yuan Ruyi, Mu Zheng, and Lei Ming, and the other five would return together.
After everyone finished discussing, they were about to set off for Danzong, Mu Qing pulled Qiu Lan and whispered a few words, Qiu Lan finally figured out Mu Qing's arrangement, so he nodded, and then went back to the room to clean up.
At the same time as the ten people were discussing, there was a black crow cleaning its feathers on the eaves outside the inn......
A moment later, ten people walked out of the inn gate at the same time, and one person came to them, it was Yukun.
Mu Qing briefly introduced it, saying that Yukun was a friend he had just met, and he was going to watch the battle together, so the eleven people set off and rushed to Danzong......
