Chapter 269: Temptation
In the small door of the backyard of the Star Hall, the two of them hurriedly entered, entered the hall, and immediately clasped their fists and saluted, baring their teeth and smiling: "What do you adults think of your acting skills?"
The intestine waved his hand: "It's too pompous, especially that miserable howl, so scared that I almost can't hold my hand." Takakubo, if you accidentally hurt your son, don't blame me. ”
Takakubo smiled: "It's not because the power of adults is too strong, and I can't control the fear in my heart at all." I have already sent someone to count the Qi family's property, except for the old and weak women and children, the sturdy men and boys who fled overnight, I have sent someone to deal with it, you adults don't need to worry. ”
Duan Qing looked at Gao Kubo quietly, just a moment before he was about to make a move, Gao Kubo took the initiative to come to the door, took the initiative to apologize, and offered the harvest of the previous year, and then told the Qi family about the preparation of attacking Juxian Tower, in order to gain his trust, and then began to make a plan, saying that as long as he acted in a play, those families would obediently give the harvest, and there was no need to use knives and guns at all.
Of course Duan Qing would not be soft on this kind of move of the Qi family, but what he didn't expect was that immediately, Gao Kubo took the initiative to take the responsibility of cleaning up the Qi family's station, but Lin Ranjie explained, Duan Qing was finally relieved, it turned out that the Gao family and the ancestors of the Qi family had fought hard because of the matter of resources, and the Gao family suffered a big loss, and many people died.
Moreover, according to the eyeliner sent by Duan Qing, Takakubo did not let go of those old and weak women and children at all, and all of them worshipped their ancestors in front of the ancestral grave.
Even Duan Qing's ruthless temperament can't help but be a little disgusted at this time, this person has no limit to doing things.
"Aren't you afraid of other people's retaliation?" Duan Qing asked expressionlessly.
Takakubo smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are strong for one day, you will be loyal for one day." If the adults are no longer in the limelight one day, they will find other ways to protect the family. After all, there would be someone who needed such a loyal hand. ”
"What a loyal one. Let's go. Duan Qing waved his hand. Waiting for Takakubo to leave, the intestine said: "Brother Duan, this person is a wolf ambition, I think even he will be destroyed." ”
"Tonight's thing, it's too cheap for them. Lan Hongyuan followed and said: "It's just your boss, I support it unconditionally." ”
"What about you?" Duan Qing looked at the fly, he scratched the back of his head, and finally shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Duan Qing sighed and said, "The people here, with our current strength, can be killed, and even the Meteor Hall doesn't have enough ability to fight, but what about after killing people? Can we really occupy a city? Can those sects really sit idly by and ignore our actions?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
Duan Qing said: "Takakubo is right, no one can be strong forever. Zhu Lesheng is right, the people who want to deal with me are afraid of me, so they don't directly kill me. Once he prepares to kill him, what are we going to do to resist? With our current strength, even escaping is a luxury. So, I don't plan to kill those people, because just a bad breath won't solve the real problem. The second is because what we need now is resources, materials, and we need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible, there are no more families and halls, and we will be like the four of us who have been born and died to temper the feelings, only when we are strong and give people higher hope, there will be more subordinates like Takakubo, and we can better face problems. ”
"I see. The intestines nodded vigorously, and Lan Hongyuan said: "How much do we want to give the sect of those materials?" As far as I know, the alchemy elder Shi Yaojin is not very supportive, and he has made a lot of small moves recently, and he has united people several times to say that the boss has too much power, so that the sect master can be weakened. ”
The fly never spoke, his eyes locked on a teacup, and he used his eyes to direct the teacup to move back and forth, playing happily, and grabbed the teacup with his intestines: "Don't play, a good thousand machines transfer for you to practice like this, if there are words you don't know, you ask me, don't be afraid of going crazy!"
Duan Qing said: "Recently, I have pondered it a lot, and the transfer of thousands of machines is indeed really only possible for flies to cultivate now, and we can only do it after reaching the Yuan Infant Stage, because our body strength is not enough, and we don't have the power of the charm to protect the body, and rashly using it will only end up being shattered, and we still have to listen to the words of our predecessors." Recently, I plan to refine all the materials into pills, you go to find a place, you must be safe and secret, all of them are retreated and cultivated, and there are only so many resources we can get, and we must not waste them. ”
"Okay, I'll go find someone to arrange it. The three of them nodded, and left the hall, the backyard was Duan Qing's residence, and theirs was in the next courtyard.
When the small door in the backyard was closed, a fragrant breeze wafted over, Duan Qing looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said lightly: "If you go on an assassination mission, I'm afraid that you will fail the first time." ”
"These incense powders are specially rubbed for you, so as not to let you smell me... Flavor. "Jin Lian came over, and in a year's time, she became more and more mature and charming, like a ripe honey peach, which can be picked at any time.
"Bloody gas?" Duan Qing said disapprerovingly.
Jin Lian changed the topic and said, "The sect master once came to me before the retreat, and asked me to tell you a word when I noticed the wind and grass, to be precise, to let you find your own position. Even in any case, the position of suzerain must be held in his hands. ”
"Oh?" Duan Qing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at Jin Lian in surprise: "So serious?"
Jin Lian nodded, and said: "The elixir refined by Shi Yaojin contains a kind of toxicity, which is very weak, even if he is the cultivator of the sect master's refining period, he has not been able to detect it, and he has been taking the elixir for more than thirty years, and the toxicity has already penetrated into the bone marrow, it is precisely because he discovered this that he decided to retreat and find a way to force the poison out of the body, so he asked Shi Yaojin to refine the Bigu Pill again, this time he did find that kind of toxicity, it can be said that it was completely determined that it was Shi Yaojin's handiwork." ”
Duan Qing couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, Shi Yaojin had already advanced his previous plan for thirty years, this situation was really a bit big, and what they were afraid of was probably the strength of the sect master's qi refining period.
"A bureau has been laid down for so long, presumably the elders of the various mountains have already colluded, what they are waiting for is the day when the sect master is poisoned, I haven't even reached the Yuan infant stage, how can I break the situation?"
Jin Lian sat aside, her slightly frowning brows looked so helpless, as if she was no different from an ordinary woman, shook her head, and sighed: "I don't know this, the purpose of the sect master arranging me to be by your side is to let me bring you this sentence, as for how to do it, it's your business." But rest assured, I will obey you at any time, even if it means death. ”
Duan Qing was shocked, and suddenly remembered that when he was in the sect, Shi Yaojin took the initiative to send a lot of pills to himself, of course, the purpose was to win over, although he did not explicitly refuse, but he never stood on his position, at this time Duan Qingcai regretted how wrong his decision was, the sect master will naturally have diehards, Shi Yaojin must have attracted a lot of people, and he is such a position that even his own disciples are a little jealous of, it must be an unstable factor that both sides are on guard!
Jin Lian saw through Duan Qing's eyes at a glance and said, "Don't worry, your elixir, the sect master has already asked me to replace it, even if I have taken a few pills before, it will not be a big problem, after all, it is a chronic poison, and it will only attack if it accumulates to a certain extent." ”
After Duan Qing used his true qi to conduct a thorough internal investigation, he still didn't find any abnormalities, and he couldn't help but secretly shake his head, even the sect master couldn't detect the toxicity, even if he had precautions in advance, he couldn't do anything, and then he glanced at Jin Lian and said, "At present, you are the only one around me who can read my mind." ”
Jin Lian laughed at herself: "If I couldn't master this, I would have died a long time ago." ”
Suddenly, a golden mang broke in through the window, pointing directly at Jin Lian's vest, Duan Qing's eyes were fast, his body spun and directly protected Jin Lian's back, raised his hand to grab the golden mang, but the feeling of starting did not have the impact of that speed, when he spread out his palm, lines of small golden characters appeared in his palm: "Tomorrow at noon, in the east of the ethereal city, next to the pomegranate tree, come to visit." Shi Yaojin. ”
"Looks like he can't wait. Looking at the golden words in his palm gradually dissipating, Duan Qing said lightly.
Jin Lian said: "There are only two possibilities for this situation, one is that the sect master's retreat is about to succeed, and the other is the opposite. Where do you go, master, before noon tomorrow, you must make a choice. ”
"Does a low-level monk like me have more choices?" Duan Qing said as he looked into Jin Lian's eyes.
"I... I see. Jin Lian nodded and stopped talking, she could fully understand Duan Qing's situation, because she herself had come up step by step from the bottom, relying on her body and hard work, but her cultivation was only eight times in the Golden Pill Stage, and in this whirlpool, there was still no room for fighting back. But she also knew that even the sect master didn't expect that this day would come so early, and if he was given another year, I am afraid that his choice would more than double.
"Go back, I'm going to be quiet. Duan Qing waved his hand, Jin Lian nodded, stepped on a gentle step and retreated, closed the door, and disappeared into the courtyard.
Duan Qing was speechless, he originally just planned to use the sect to gradually become stronger, but he didn't expect to be involved in the dispute between the sect's forces so quickly. For the sect master Yun Wencheng, Duan Qing is grateful, it is his vigorous promotion that makes Duan Qing today, Duan Qing has the obligation to serve the sect master, but when it comes to the competition for the position of the sect master, Duan Qing's head hurts a little.
The master of a sect, even if it is the sect master of a third-rate sect, it is a hegemon, who doesn't want to be it?
But what do you have to fight for now?
"Even if you fight to the death, you don't have the slightest chance, don't daydream..." Duan Qing's voice was very low, he shook his head very dejectedly, got up and went back to the room.
The moment the door closed, an enchantment in his hand quickly enveloped his body, turned around and jumped out of the window, and silently flew to a big tree.
Under the moonlight, Jin Lian's figure lurked silently, and it was only at this time that she really left the courtyard.
"Test me?" Duan Qing raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and disappeared into the night, but he went to the secret room to refine the elixir.
