Chapter 464: Retreat
Next, Nanshan told Xiao Shan how to check the method of cultivating the true bamboo slips, but it was just to adjust the fluctuations of his spiritual frequency and harmonize with the strange energy fluctuations of the bamboo slips themselves, and then the content of the bamboo slips would naturally appear in his mind. Although it is very simple, people who cultivate below the Jindan period can't view it at all, and if it weren't for Nanshan's method, Xiao Shan would probably only be able to touch this kind of bamboo slip for the rest of his life. Nanshan not only handed over to Xiao Shan the method of viewing the cultivation of the real bamboo slips, but also handed over the method of how to burn his own cultivation experience into the bamboo slips to Xiao Shan.
Seeing that Xiao Shan had almost mastered the method of viewing and burning bamboo slips, Nanshan looked at the bracelet on Xiao Shan's left hand and said: " The others are easy to disguise, but this bracelet must not be shown to others, I will give you a small spell of invisible traces, you usually give the bracelet invisibility, as long as it is not a master of cultivation in the realm of the gods, you can't see it, but you also have to be cautious, don't let ordinary cultivators touch it, once it is touched by a master of cultivation, then the spell of invisible traces will immediately lose its effect. ”
According to the spell of Nanshan Jiao, Xiao Shan cast it on the crystal bright bracelet on his left wrist, and then, the original exquisite and luxurious bracelet immediately became dull, and gradually disappeared, it seems that Xiao Shan's left wrist is bright and delicate, and there is no trace of the bracelet, but Xiao Shan clearly feels that the bracelet is still on Xiao Shan's left hand.
Nanshan sighed again and said: "Like this 'Qiankun Nawu Bracelet' used to store items and the bamboo slips used to burn the cultivation method are special magic weapons that can be encountered but cannot be sought, and the masters who do not have the tribulation period cannot be refined, you have to cherish them." Especially this 'Qiankun Nawu Bracelet', it is much more clever than Xiaoshan's 'Qiankun Bag', only the 'Dimensional Mustard' and 'Sumeru Mustard' are higher than its reward, but it is not something that any cultivator can have. There must also be a lot of magic weapons that Tianhua carries with him, and you must also use them carefully and carefully, and be careful not to cause trouble for yourself. ”
Looking at the gray peculiar cloth bag that Nanshan took out of his arms and stroked it carefully, Xiao Shan's heart was not only happy but also hesitant. According to the meaning of Nanshan's words, I'm afraid he doesn't know that Tianhua still has a "dimensional mustard", and he doesn't know that this "dimensional mustard" is also in Xiao Shan's hands, so does Xiao Shan have the "dimensional mustard" to him?
Stretched out his hand and stroked the shapeless "Dimensional Mustard" that was tightly reed on the ring finger of his right hand and had almost become one with Xiao Shan's body, Xiao Shan secretly had some happiness in his heart, fortunately, this "Dimensional Mustard" would automatically disappear and become invisible since it was brought to Xiao Shan's fingers, just like Zhao Laodao's space ring, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to escape Nanshan's eyes. At this moment, Xiao Shan decided not to tell Nanshan about Xiao Shan's possession of this "dimensional mustard".
Nanshan sighed slightly, put away the "Qiankun Bag" in his hand, and said, "To be honest, I really envy you, as the eldest disciple of the Jianxuan Sect, I was only given a 'Qiankun Bag' by the Master, and you, this kid, can now have a 'Qiankun Bracelet', cherish it." ”
Saying that, Nanshan got up and stood up, "I'm leaving." Tianhua is dead, and I believe that it will not be long before the Imperial Weapon Sect will find out, although it will not be a big fanfare, but if I am not in the master's sect, I will definitely arouse their suspicion. So I have to rush back to the Sword Xuan Sect as soon as possible. Brother Xiao, goodbye. ”
Xiao Shan hurriedly stood up, not only said with some reluctance: "Brother, can't you stay for a few more days? ”
Nanshan laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, when the millennium sect meeting is over, I, Nanshan, will definitely come to Huaguo to meet you as soon as possible." At that time, I hope that my brother's cultivation can be improved to a higher level. ”
Xiao Shan knew that cultivators were generally unrestrained people, so he no longer had a sad mood about Nanshan's sudden departure. To tell the truth, although he and Nanshan have only met twice, this person's concern for Xiao Shan is out of sincerity, which makes Xiao Shan not only grateful. And really according to what he said, they can see each other in ten years at most, so Xiao Shan really has nothing to be sad about.
Out of the secret room, leaving the "Five Cities Barrier", and sending Nanshan all the way outside the gate of the China Martial Arts Society.
Nanshan stood under the gate and looked back at a couplet on either side of the gate:
Five thousand years of vicissitudes of life have created a strong Chinese family, ancient myths, and heroes, showing the soul of Xiaoshan Chinese martial arts;
Eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers are splendid, cast into a treasure land of China, a hundred years of shame, once awakened, and the greed of demons and demons is gone.
After a while, Nanshan sighed, and suddenly said to Xiao Shan: "Do you know, listen to my master, the cultivators of the entire cultivation realm and the human beings spread over the tens of thousands of lands of the galaxy coefficients all lived on the same land tens of thousands of years ago, and that land is the earth. And my master is one of the last cultivators to leave the earth, so if you get serious, you and I can also be the people of the Chinese Holy Land. ”
Xiao Shan suddenly froze, and an inexplicable emotion in his heart slowly stirred in his chest.
"Do a good job, I know that you are now preparing to deal with a big clan called the Southern Continent Capital Outer Heaven City, that big clan I have also been to, and the big clan that surprised me is simply a country of beasts. I hope that ten years later, when the cultivators look back and intervene in the major forces of the earth's human race, there will be no longer the term "Outer Heavenly City, the capital of the Southern Continent". ”
After saying this, Nanshan suddenly rose up and turned into a faint one in the night
The blue light disappeared into the night sky above the gorgeous Xuanwu Avenue outside the gate of the martial arts shrine.
Xiao Shan breathed a sigh of relief slightly in the direction where Nanshan had gone, turned around and began to walk towards Xuanzong. Along the way, the disciples of the Chinese sects along the road saw Xiao Shan and saluted Xiao Shan respectfully, which made Xiao Shan's heart invisibly surge with a sense of pride. Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed and disappeared in the distance, Xiao Shan's heart moved, and his divine thoughts immediately probed, and at the same time, he quickly walked to a small corner that did not provoke people's ideas, and chased after the familiar figure while no one was paying attention.
The head office of the China Martial Arts Society in China City is very vast, and the disciples and students of all sects, deacons and stewards at all levels in it add up to hundreds of thousands of people, and the number of people who enter and leave the head office every day is even more million. Although the head office has a total of one gate, four sub-gates, and ten branches, the flow of people is still very huge, so generally no one who enters and leaves the head office even if they are not disciples of the martial arts society will go to check more, just like Nanshan entered the China Martial Arts Society and was not stopped until the gate of Xuanzong.
Yuan Zhaofei was familiar with entering and leaving the China Martial Arts Society several times, and at this time he quickly walked through the dense forest paths and walked towards the gate of the China Martial Arts Society.
Just as Yuan Zhaofei passed through an uninhabited path, a powerful force suddenly appeared out of thin air, completely restraining it before he could react. A faint purple light flashed in front of him, and Yuan Zhaofei, who was full of horror in his heart, suddenly had a familiar feeling of this power, and at the same time, the true qi in his body was also driven by this force to run rapidly.
Suddenly felt in his heart, Yuan Zhaofei remembered a person, and his nervous mood immediately relaxed, and at the same time, a dizzy feeling hit his heart, and the next moment, Yuan Zhaofei completely lost consciousness.
In a secret room, Yuan Zhaofei slowly woke up, his eyes a little confused but vigilant looking around.
Seeing that Yuan Zhaofei had not fully sobered up, Xiao Shan smiled slightly and said, "How is it?" Yuan Zhaofei, are you doing now?"
Yuan Zhaofei completely sobered up this time, and after seeing it, he hurriedly knelt down with some trepidation, and said in a trembling voice: "Subordinate Yuan Zhaofei see your lord." ”
"Get up, Xiao Shan is not used to this. Don't kneel down at every turn in the future, general etiquette will do. Hurriedly helped Yuan Zhaofei up, Xiao Shan said seriously.
Yuan Zhaofei stood up and said respectfully: "It's my lord, I don't know what my lord's instructions are for summoning his subordinates this time?"
Xiao Shan secretly praised in his heart, this person deserves to be a shrewd and capable person, speaks concisely and directly, and is a reusable guy, but I don't know if he will always be loyal to Xiao Shan in the future. It's better to woo him for now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shan turned around and sat down on a chair in the secret room, stretched out his hand and said, "You sit down first, and take a look at what you have been by Li Hongzhen's side during this time." ”
This secret room is actually the secret room where Xiao Shan and Nanshan talked just now, just now Xiao Shan used the Five Elements Escape Method and the Stealth Technique to control Yuan Zhaofei and took him to avoid others and came here directly, and only here, Xiao Shan did not have to worry that anyone would overhear any of Xiao Shan's words. Although Xiao Shan is very confident that there is hardly anyone in Huaguo or even in the entire "Hidden Sect" who has the strength to fight against Xiao Shan, but the appearance of the cultivator has to make Xiao Shan very cautious, who knows when there will be a second Nanshan or a second Tianhua?
"Yes, sir. ”
Yuan Zhaofei sat down on the chair that Nanshan had sat on just now, sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then spoke again: "Since I left the gang that day, I came directly to the China Martial Arts Society and contacted Li Hongzhen in the previous way. What I didn't expect was that it was three days before Li Hongzhen officially met with me. At that time, Li Hongzhen carefully asked me all my questions about the Feng family and your lordship, and I didn't dare to hide it in the slightest. After that, Li Hongzhen kept letting me stay in a secret place, and a few days later, he asked me to meet a person, who seemed to be the young palace master of the Extreme Spiral Palace, called Long Xiu. Oh yes, listening to the name between them, Li Hongzhen seems to be in the relationship with Long Xiu is an uncle and niece. ”
"What? Are they uncles and nieces? Are they blood relatives?" Xiao Shan was shocked in his heart, could it be that Li Hong was really a person sent by the Extreme Spiral Palace? Xiao Shan hurriedly asked.
"Very possibly. Yuan Zhaofei nodded, "The contacts between them are particularly close, and many things seem to be that Long Xiu, that is the young palace master of the Extreme Spiral Palace, is obeying Li Hongzhen. It wasn't until ten days ago that the young palace master of the Extreme Spiral Palace left Huaguo and returned to the headquarters of the Extreme Vortex Palace. ”
Xiao Shan frowned slightly, did not interject, and motioned for Yuan Zhaofei to continue.
"At this time, Li Hongzhen began to live in a shallow manner, and there was nothing superfluous to tell him to do, and this time he came to me just to let me collect some inconsequential information for him. ”
Xiao Shan saw that Yuan Zhaofei didn't seem to have any intention of going any further, so he asked cautiously, "Based on your true understanding of Li Hong, do you think Li Hong will really be an orc? Or will he collude with the orcs?"
Yuan Zhaofei was startled, his face suddenly became much more solemn, and after a while, he said in an affirmative tone: "My lord, about Li Hongzhen, I am almost certain that he is not an orc, because it is impossible for an orc to conjure armor, but I have seen Li Hongzhen conjure his armor with my own eyes." But if you guess according to your lordship, whether Li Hongzhen and the orcs have colluded, I am not sure about this. However, judging from the purge of the Chinese Martial Arts Society of the orcs lurking inside the Martial Society
, It seems that Li Hongzhen has the most hidden beast clans in the Snow Dance Sect, and it is estimated that this is why he has to live in a shallow way for a while. In addition, the subordinates found that the guards Li Hongzhen was carrying were very weird, and they didn't talk much, and they carried out Li Hongzhen's orders very thoroughly. ”
Xiao Shan pondered for a moment, and said a little heavily: "It seems that there are all kinds of signs that Li Hongzhen is really likely to have colluded with those orcs, and this matter must not be ignored." Yuan Zhaofei, I have decided to give you a difficult task again, that is, to completely withdraw this matter. Of course, you can have the right to refuse, after all, it will be a very dangerous task. It's already hard for you to go undercover, and if you add this task, it will be more dangerous for you. So, the right to decide is now in your hands. ”
Yuan Zhaofei was stunned for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but then he turned into a determined look, "Don't worry, my lord, as long as you are a member of the "Hidden Sect", you will not refuse to deal with the orcs, and as for the traitors who collude with the orcs, everyone will be punished." Since it is very likely that Li Hongzhen has colluded with the orcs, it is my duty to investigate this matter. Please rest assured. ”
Xiao Shan's eyes showed a look of appreciation, "Okay, Yuan Zhaofei, I really didn't misunderstand you." In that case, in order to make it easier for you to complete this task, I will pass on some more life-saving skills to you. At the same time, I will also give you a good thing, with which you will be more convenient to take the initiative to contact me. ”
Later, under Yuan Zhaofei's extremely happy and surprised gaze, Xiao Shan passed on the simple stealth realm and retreat realm in the Five Elements Escape Method to him, and then gave him an extremely ordinary virtual connector.
"What is this? My lord, I don't usually use this on the Internet. Yuan Zhaofei asked in surprise with the virtual connector.
Xiao Shan smiled a little proudly and said, "You should have heard of Xuanzong's 'Xuan Realm'. This is the virtualizer that can go directly into the 'Metaverse', but I've worked on it so that it's exactly like a normal virtual connector. ”
Yuan Zhaofei stroked the virtual device in his hand that was a bit like a beilei hat with some confusion, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, I have indeed heard rumors about Xuanzong's 'Xuan Realm'. It seems that after entering the 'Xuan Realm', the efficiency of practicing will increase several times, but doesn't it take a disciple who has officially joined the Xuan Sect to enter the 'Xuan Realm' in the 'Five Cities Barrier'......?
Xiao Shan understood what Yuan Zhaofei meant, interrupted him, and said: "You don't have to worry, I have decided to connect the 'Xuan Realm' to the network on Huaguo, you only need to use this virtual device to connect to the network to get to the 'Xuan Realm', and as soon as you enter the 'Xuan Realm', I will know, and I will contact you as soon as possible." In addition, this virtual device can only allow you to enter the 'Xuan Realm' alone, and it is impossible to enter the 'Xuan Realm' if someone else uses it, so you can rest assured of this. ”
Yuan Zhaofei was completely relieved when he heard this, and with some excitement, he carefully put the virtual device on his body.
"Well, I don't have anything else to do, do you have any questions? If not, I'll get you out of here. ”
Yuan Zhaofei said that he had no other doubts, and promised to complete the task to find evidence that Li Hong might really collude with the orcs. Xiao Shan didn't say anything more, just told him to be more careful, and then directly took him to perform the stealth technique and the Five Elements Escape Technique and left this secret room located in the "Five Cities Barrier", and sent him all the way outside the China Martial Arts Society.
After returning to the China Martial Arts Society, a core disciple told Xiao Shan that Ling Shaohua, Zeng Guangyu and others had already returned and were waiting for Xiao Shan in the hall. Xiao Shan smiled slightly, in fact, Xiao Shan had already sensed it when they came back, but he had been talking to Yuan Zhaofei and had not come out to see them.
When I came to the hall, I saw all the senior deacons, including Ling Shaohua, Zeng Guangyu, Hua Fei, Lei Zhen, Wang Dawei, Wu Shuang, Feng Siya, Wang Jun, Deng Taoren, Wang Dawei, Liu Zhongyuan, Zhou Tanheng, Xuanshen, Zhu Yuanhong, Jia Xiantong, Feng Wenxuan, Wu Qing, Bai Chuan, etc., and only after asking did I know that all the miscellaneous matters related to Deng Taoren, Liu Zhongyuan and others joining Xuanzong had been dealt with.
After saying goodbye to everyone's hard work, Xiao Shan sat down on the chairman of the sect in the middle. Watching them, Xiao Shan suddenly announced that he was going to retreat for a while, and during the time of Xiao Shan's retreat, Xuanzong's internal affairs were completely presided over by the senior deacons present, and Xiao Shan, if he had any instructions, would convey them through Ling Shaohua or Wang Jun.
Everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled when they heard it, Xuanzong can now be just a grass creation, but Xiao Shan, as the head of a sect, suddenly wanted to retreat, and handed over the most difficult task to them, which made them feel a little unnatural, especially Deng Taoren, Liu Zhongyuan and other eight senior deacons who had just joined Xuanzong.
Xiao Shan didn't give them a chance to object, and when they wanted to speak, Xiao Shan interrupted them and said, "This matter has been decided, although I want to retreat, I will still enter the 'Xuan Realm' often, if you have any questions, you can go to the 'Xuan Realm' and ask me." ”
When everyone heard this, they suppressed the doubts in their hearts, didn't ask anything more about Xiao Shan, and discussed some other things and went down one by one. Before they left, Xiao Shan agreed with them on a time to meet in the "Xuan Realm".
The next day, Xiaoshan officially announced the retreat, and all matters within Xuanzong were handed over to Ling Shaohua, Zeng Guangyu, Deng Taoren, and Liu Zhongyuan.
