After walking around the fairy fair, Pan Sanye roughly figured out the prince's likes and dislikes, and successfully won the favor of His Royal Highness, but this sense of accomplishment disappeared in an instant the moment he entered the room, and the smile on the veteran's face turned cold.
"It's that woman!" Pan Sanye stared at the broken idol on the table.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her. Xiaoqiu really felt guilty, Sun Yu showed his hand too quickly, and he didn't have time to speak.
"No, it doesn't matter. Pan Sanye rarely looked clumsy in front of the young man once, "I can ask for another one, someone will give it away on the set, no money." β
Xiaoqiu motioned for Xin Youtao to say goodbye with him.
Xin Youtao didn't notice the change in the veteran's mood at all, and as soon as he left the inn, he asked, "How is it, is she willing to help?"
"Well, she'll find a way to inform me in just a few days. β
"Ha, I didn't think she was quite talkative. Xin Youtao looked at Mu Xingqiu, who was not too excited, "What conditions did she propose?"
"I have to remember her kindness. β
"It's that simple?" Xin Youtao was taken aback, "Did she say how to repay the favor?"
"Teach her all the mental techniques I have learned in ten years. β
This is the result of bargaining, Xin Youtao pondered for a moment, "It's reasonable, but a Dujiao actually asked a disciple to teach her spells...... Strange, really weird. β
In the night, more than 20 young and middle-aged men lined up in a row, holding torches and steel forks, and hurriedly walked outside the market, and pedestrians on the road avoided one after another.
"The wolves are here again, just a little bit of people...... Why hasn't the Xuanfu Army arrived yet?" a worried voice came from the crowd.
A shopkeeper ran out of the shop, stood on the side of the road, and asked everyone in the procession, "Is there a idol?" Most nodded, a few shook their heads, and the people were immediately stuffed with a small idol, which the recipient carefully took in his arms, and then took what seemed to be a little bigger.
"Wolves?" Xiaoqiu was surprised.
Wait until the wolf hunting party walks by. Xin Youtao pulled Xiaoqiu to continue walking, and said indifferently: "There are many wolves in the mountains, it's not a big deal. β
Wild Forest Town is located on the frontier, and Xiaoqiu has heard many stories about wolf infestation, "I thought that wolves only harassed densely populated places in the depths of winter when there was a lack of food. β
"It's hard to say, there are foolish beasts who can't tell the difference between season and danger. Why are you interested in wolves? β
"I just...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Xiaoqiu felt that she was thinking too much and would be laughed at by the prince.
"Don't, speak up and listen. Xin Youtao was interested.
The two had already walked out of the fairy set, under the repeated urging of the prince. Xiao Qiu said, "Didn't that demon king Qi supreme degenerate into a wolf?"
"That's it?" Xin Youtao disagreed, held back his disdainful tone, and said seriously: "The demon wolf and the ordinary wolf are completely different things, just like this lacquer supreme, the entire family should have been transformed into a human form for many generations, even if he doesn't have the demon pill, he won't become a wolf, Pang Shan must have cast other spells at the same time as taking the pill, so that the appearance of his ancient ancestors can be revealed." As for the common wolf. It will be born almost every year. β
"But this is Pang Mountain. β
"Hey, there are beggars outside the walls of the palace, will the prince and princess go and kill people herself? Of course, the soldiers and servants who patrol the streets do this kind of thing. Wolves, tigers, and even wild boars can be inflicted. If the Taoist priest and the Xuanfu Army were busy doing these things every day, the real demons would be left alone. The people will only complain, and if they don't see it, they think that the people above are lazy, and they don't know who protects their safety. β
on this issue. The young man of Yelin Town had a completely different point of view from the prince, and Xiao Qiu had no intention of arguing, but he somewhat understood why the veteran Pan Sanye and the residents of the Immortal Collection believed in the ancient gods. That clay figurine is probably their only hope in many cases.
Halfway down the road, an idea suddenly popped into Xin Youtao's mind, "This is a great opportunity!"
"What chance?"
"Test who will be the betrayer and the whistleblower. β
Xiao Qiu was stunned for a while, understood the prince's intentions, smiled and shook his head, he never felt qualified to test others, if someone treated him like this, he would feel that it was a humiliation.
Xin Youtao likes Mu Xingqiu's frankness, if this openness is specifically aimed at the prince himself, it would be even better, since Mu Xingqiu believes in all his partners indiscriminately, Xin Youtao really thinks that he is a little pedantic and stupid, so he makes his own opinion, "Leave this matter to me, you just don't tell me about it." β
On the next road, Xin Youtao talked about the difference between trust and credulity, and finally said: "Don't you think that Mu Xingqiu of Yelin Town and the disciples of Pangshan Daomen are equal?
"Why is it that there are not as many people who practice the art of going against the heavens as there are of them? Do you think, if you practice like we do now, will you still be grateful to Pang Shan in the future? Old Ancestor Feng summoned you to the Mind Meditation Department, in fact, this is also the intention. Alas, Shen Shang is not lying, the Five Elements Branch will definitely recall Guan Shenyue back, and he will soon be able to feel the meticulous care of Zai. β
Xin Youtao's tone was sour, but his guess was very accurate.
Guan Shenyue stayed in the Horse Husbandry Valley to add night material for Xiaoqiu, but he didn't leave after that, practicing the Female Ancestor Forging Bone Boxing in the open space in front of the house, although he didn't learn for a few days, he had already played well, and when he saw Xiaoqiu walking into the valley, he didn't stop, and he didn't stop until the set was over.
"I'm going to tell you something. β
"You say. Xiaoqiu nodded.
"Is things going well?" Guan Shenyue just remembered the purpose of Xiaoqiu's going out today, and asked absent-mindedly.
"It's quite smooth, let's talk about your business first. After the prince's indoctrination, Xiaoqiu had already guessed what she would hear.
"The Five Elements Branch wants me to go back, someone came to inform me just now, saying that Yang Xi wants to see me tomorrow, I ......" Guan Shenyue lowered his head, his face was slightly red.
Xiaoqiu's reaction was different from what the prince expected, he never demanded too much of his friends, so he didn't feel betrayed, but was happy, "You should go back." β
Guan Shenyue raised his head in surprise, "Actually, I haven't decided yet." β
"Decide. Xiaoqiu encouraged: "I'll go to the heart department, you go to the Five Elements department, and in the future, all of us will be asked to go to the various departments of Old Ancestor Peak." That's what we're aiming for, isn't it?"
Guan Shenyue was even more surprised, suddenly straightened up, and said in a formal and somewhat exaggerated tone: "I'll go to see you tomorrow, but I won't return to the Five Elements Sect right away, I will wait two months to complete the fight with Shen Shang." β
The next morning, Guan Shenyue went to Lao Zufeng alone, Zhou Ping talked about his good luck, but Xin Youtao threw a meaningful look at Xiaoqiu. During the lunch break, he found an opportunity to stuff Xiaoqiu with a folded piece of paper, and whispered: "This doesn't need to be sacrificed to the Fire God Seal, I'll go tonight, and I'll watch the horse for you." β
Xiaoqiu left early in the afternoon, and Yang Qingyin and others wished him a smooth journey.
Xin Youtao deceived everyone and said that Sun Yulu would take Mu Xingqiu into Yangshen Peak when he entered the night shift, and the meeting place was the Immortal Inn. He handed Xiaoqiu a welcome charm, and whenever someone nearby cast a spell, such as eavesdropping and peeping, this charm will sound a prompt.
"Immortal gatherings don't have Taoist priests every day, right? Not to mention that every Taoist priest casts spells, so you go to Pan San'er and wait. As long as there is an abnormal sound in the paper symbol, it means that someone is spying on you, which can prove that there is an informant in our group, as for whom. Check it out slowly. β
Xiaoqiu is on the road, even if there is no Xin Youtao's mouth, he has to be cautious, Sun Yulu is a guest of Pang Shan. I don't want the behavior of breaking the rules to be revealed by the host, if there is really a whistleblower among the partners, Xiaoqiu hopes to find out sooner.
Pan Sanye welcomed Xiaoqiu. It just so happened that the princess's reply had just arrived, one for her younger brother, one for Mu Xingqiu, and a large box of items.
In the letter, the princess thanked Mu Xingqiu for her help in an aristocratic manner, and was very satisfied with Xin Youtao's current progress in cultivation, she was very well-informed, and some of the things mentioned were even born ten days ago. In the second half of the letter, the princess introduces the talisman equipment she has sent.
Xiaoqiu opened the box, and there were eight sets of light leather armor and helmets neatly stacked inside, with a unified style: it was made of large pieces of earthy yellow leather, which looked very weak in protection, and I was afraid that even ordinary arrows could not be stopped, and there was no complex talisman pattern on it, only a fist-sized round mirror was inlaid in the front and back of the center, and the material of the mirror was a bit special, not like copper and iron, black and bright.
The helmet is even more simple, that is, a belt with a high middle and two ends that are thinner, and when used, it can be tied to the top of the head like wiping the forehead, but it is very suitable for the type of high-haired Taoist, which can only protect the forehead and temples, and there is a small ruby in the middle of the front.
If she hadn't read the princess's letter first, Xiaoqiu would have been disappointed with these armors, but these seemingly useless things are said to have a miraculous effect on defensive spells.
Pan Sanye was a veteran of knowing the goods, and looked at the armor in surprise, "This is the Baixi Silver Armor and the Dragon's Eye Helmet......!" Really willing to pay for it. β
"They're valuable, aren't they?"
"Of course, not only is it frighteningly expensive, but the key is that this thing is very rare, but it is not of much use to demon brute force, and the Xuanfu Army generally does not use it, and cannot afford it. β
Xiaoqiu closed the box, "Then I have to be careful, and I have to return it to the princess afterwards." β
"Yes, there are only a few dozen sets in the entire Xijie country, and it is impossible to give you eight sets. Pan Sanye shook his head vigorously, and couldn't help but look at the young Taoist priest a few more times, unable to believe that the princess valued him so much.
Xiao Qiu smiled and pointed to the idol on the table to change the subject: "Are you going to get a new one?"
"Hmm. Pan Sanye was slightly annoyed, but he didn't say much, but persuaded Xiaoqiu, "You should also have one, there is no conflict between the ancient gods and the Dao system, and it will not affect the cultivation ......."
Pan Sanye was about to talk about the benefits of the Ancient God Sect, when suddenly there was a noise outside, he went to push open the door, and a clear cry immediately came in.
"It's back, it's back, it's gone, it's dead...... Five people, alas. β
"What? The wolves are not far from the Immortal Gathering? Thisβthis has never happened before. β
"The one-eyed black wolf in the lead is as smart as a human, we can't beat it. β
"There is a Taoist priest in the inn......"
Pan Sanye was just about to close the door, the crowd had already crowded, Xiaoqiu walked to the door, and saw dozens of faces of awe and sorrow, the crowd was silent at first, and then opened their mouths for help, Xiaoqiu was about to speak, and suddenly one of them looked very familiar.
A short, stocky old woman, holding an ancient god statue tightly in her hand, stood in front of the crowd and was smiling at Xiaoqiu.
Xiaoqiu suddenly remembered that this was clearly Mei Chuan'an's mother.
In the room, the welcome charm near the statue suddenly became windless, and the sound of moths flapping their wings was obscured by the noise outside.
