Chapter 123: The Strange Master
Yun Duo smiled, and said in a tone without the slightest fluctuation: "Everyone understands people, do you think it makes sense for me to ask this question at this time, and you continue to hide it?"
Zhou Rong went through his recent actions as quickly as he could, and he shook his head: "Master, what are you talking about, I don't understand?"
Yun Duo smiled lightly, his expression could not be seen clearly in the dark, but Yun Duo's tone was still unhurried: "I am an extremely self-centered person, I have never cared about other people's opinions, I have an independent personality, I can think independently, so ......
Let's put it this way, I don't value the distinction between good and evil, the entanglement between the righteous path and the demonic path. Now that you're on my team, no matter what happens to you when you leave my team, I just want you to be worthy of yourself and yourself when you're here—you know?"
Zhou Rong slowly withdrew his hand, he moved very slowly, for fear that his movements would cause ambiguity. When he slowly withdrew his hand, during which the clouds did not have a tendency to attack, Zhou Rong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still spread his hands and palms forward, indicating that he did not have any intention of attacking.
"Master, what do you want to know? I don't understand. Zhou Rong said softly.
There was a sudden gust of wind around him, and Zhou Rong's body moved, but this slight movement was only subconscious, and he immediately forcibly stopped himself from counterattacking **or defending**, still standing quietly in the dark with his palms forward.
How he longed for the clouds in the darkness not to notice his movements, but he also knew - it couldn't be!
The wind just now was an attack from the clouds, but the target of the attack was not Zhou Rong.
The cloud attacked a group of stupid seven-star mantises, and the trick used by the cloud was a spell that Zhou Rong was completely unfamiliar with. This spell appears to be a new spell created by mixing gold and fire spells.
The golden wind blowing in his face had a very scorching breath, full of the smell of red flame. This golden wind struck the Seven Star Mantis swarm. It was as if crimson iron juice was pouring over the face, and although the number of praying mantis was large, it still could not stop the number of metal storms and the scorching heat.
The scorching gold juice poured into the group of praying mantises, piercing through the hard shell of the mantis as if it was not suffering at all, and the mantis fell one after another silently...... If Zhou Rong also has the soul of another world. He will immediately exclaim three words - machine gun. Because the hot metal particles like a storm are like scorching projectiles. The projectile hit the mantis, only to hear a pop sound, most of the mantis did not even let out a wail, and was immediately swept to the ground by the powerful impact contained in the metal juice, like ears of wheat in a storm.
The difference between this new spell and the machine gun is that it is silent when it is fired, and there is no thunderbolt like rain hitting plantains—perhaps this is the fairy method.
Zhou Rong's heart was full of shock at the moment, he had already overestimated the methods of the little master ancestor. But he always found that he needed to constantly raise his expectations for the little master ancestor - the little master ancestor would still have this new spell, what else was he hiding?
I only heard Yun Duo say slowly: "I don't know how Senior Brother Qingshu found you in the first place, at the beginning, I found that you are almost very similar to Wen Si, and I often wonder, they all say that monks need to strive for the top, and they need to be the first everywhere. How can you two people who are so timid also be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Still so young?
Both of you are younger than Chang Lei, Chang Lei is in his thirties, and Ding Ling is also in his thirties, they have cultivated to the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation at this age, this is normal, you are only in your early twenties, and you are actually practicing Qi Great Perfection. If it weren't for your timidity and reluctance to compete for the first place, I'm afraid you two would be very conspicuous in the door and would have become a popular figure. But you ...... Just a little better than obscurity.
You did it on purpose, right? So...... What are you trying to hide? No, if two identical people want to hide at the same time. It's too ...... It's awkward. You don't have to do the same task with two people, don't you? You don't need two people to do one thing at the same time. So, one of the two of you is really cowardly, and the other is fake cowardly, and the fake uses the real to cover himself up and make himself less special. So, who of the two of you is real and who is false?
In fact, this is also very easy to guess, just look at who is whose 'backbone'. The timid are generally reluctant to come forward, and if he does, he must be instigated. When Wen Si speaks, he often has to look at you in advance, which is subconscious, he only looks at you! And when you speak, although your eyes are also dodging to look at the people around you, you never fix your gaze on one person, so your timidity is pretended.
You are imitating Wen Si's demeanor when he speaks, and you deliberately look at other people's faces before speaking, but you don't know the psychology of cowards, so you never have a fixed object when you look, and I happen to know their mental activity, and I know their psychological causes - you are pretending!"
There is another important factor in this: Wen Si took out a black jade jade slip that belonged to the Demon Sect before. In order to guard against the Demon Sect's plot, Yun Duo asked Jin Cheng to browse this jade slip in advance...... But with all the precautions, Jin Cheng was finally plotted by the Demon Sect.
This jade slip has a kind of demon blood curse, if you don't know the correct way to read it, there will be a tone in the soul of the reader, as if reciting an exercise in the classics. This chanting sound is similar to a kind of hypnotism, and when people are not careful, when they subconsciously follow this exercise, they will train their own soul into something similar to the machine spirit......
Jin Cheng was subjected to this plot, and finally couldn't hide in the puppet, and was forced to return to his spirit pet, the ghost-faced spider, to nourish the ghost, and Yun Duo was because he swallowed two nightmare horses in a row, and a large amount of information washed away the spell, plus his self-awareness was very strong, so he didn't have a plot.
The Demon Sect Jade Slip sent by Wen Si had a special smell on it, and Yun Duo happened to be very sensitive to taste—it was this specialty that he could spot this cave of the Seven Star Mantis. This is also the golden finger given to him by Pixiu Zhu. He felt that Zhou Rong also had the same smell on his body...... But will the clouds tell Zhou Rong?
Both of them have the taste of the Demon Sect Jade Jane, which means that this Jade Jane has been in both of them for a while, since Zhou Rong is the main and Wen Si is the deputy among the two, then this Jade Jane is given to Wen Si by Zhou Rong - no doubt!
Of course, the conspiracy attached to the jade slip. It may not be the original meaning of Zhou Rong. This is a hidden method on the jade slip, and it has nothing to do with Wen Si Zhourong, but these two people have obviously seen the jade slip, and then they know the collection and preservation of the nightma, as well as the skills of making magic weapons of the demon sect, but the souls of the two are fine. This means that the two of them know the correct way to read the jade slip - the way of reading the Demon Sect.
Zhou Rong and Wen Si's purpose in capturing the Nightmare Horse was to refine the magic weapon of the Demon Sect - it didn't matter to the clouds. During the cooperation between the two sides, as long as Zhou Rong and Wensi strictly implement and complete every task, there is no loss for Yunduo.
Yun Duo didn't care if Zhou Rong was a spy sent by the Demon Sect, or if he had a special mission to infiltrate the Xuantian Gate...... None of this matters, the most important thing is: the other party does not harm the interests of the clouds.
As for whether the other party's identity will be exposed in the future, it has nothing to do with Yunduo. Zhou Rong has a lot of people in contact, if the door identifies every person Zhou Rong contacts as the same party. The sect was completely in chaos.
Yun Duo was confident that he had the ability to get rid of her entanglement with this matter, and he would never become a scapegoat for the sect, so he didn't care what Zhou Rong would do in the future, he only asked Zhou Rong to be a qualified team member now.
To do this, he must strangle a hidden danger in the cradle.
It was still dark all around.
The spell sent out by the clouds just now quickly tortured and killed a group of young seven-star mantises, and these seven-star mantis were so young that they couldn't look down on the clouds at all—originally, these shells could be used to make a defensive cuirass. This kind of defensive cuirass trainer can't look down on. But it is indeed a supreme treasure for mortals...... Well, the garbage discarded by the immortals is also a good treasure in the eyes of mortals.
The smell of burnt and bloody from the corpse of the Seven-Star Praying Mantis wafted through the air. In the dark, Zhou Rong still maintained his original posture. He became more and more frightened and overwhelmed.
Being skinned is painful. And Zhou Rong always thought that he was well disguised, but now Yun Duo used an unquestionable tone to expose Zhou Rong's disguise, making Zhou Rong feel the other party's ...... more and more Powerful.
This IQ is strong. Let Zhou Rong not look up.
"Let me guess: Wen Si was originally inconspicuous, but after being approached by you, with your help and support, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, so he is used to relying on you. Get used to looking at your face before talking.
Wen Si's existence covers you, and the alliance of two cowards makes you seem less easy to bully. As a result, you are powerful and inconspicuous, you don't come out of anything, and you hide when you encounter things, so although you have cultivated to the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation, you have always been looked down upon by important people in the sect.
You have been wandering on the periphery of the sect, but because your cultivation is also outstanding among Qi cultivators, you can get in touch with the qiē that you should be exposed to......
Okay, the sect is big, all the forces are trying to win over people, you first chose the weakest Iris Valley, which is in line with your consistent code of conduct, but I don't care what your purpose is in Iris Valley, there is no secret in Iris Valley that you need, I don't allow you to snoop on Iris Valley......"
In fact, the biggest secret of Iris Valley is me. But only three people know this secret - Jin Cicada Zhenjun is in retreat, Su Zhi will not tell outsiders that Qingshu was specially selected by Jin Cicada Zhenjun to inherit the mantle and protect Iris Valley, and he will not tell this secret.
As for Yun Duo himself, will he sue others?
Zhou Rong felt that his body was incomplete, but he could ...... He had to listen to the clouds continue.
"So far, you haven't hindered Iris Valley has not hindered me, so far you are a qualified team member, you have helped Iris Valley to help me, so I called you here to kindly remind you...... Do you know what to do?
Don't worry, Chang Lei can't hear our conversation now, and all his attention is now on finding the spirit stone, and I have set up a soundproof barrier at the entrance of the cave...... How about it, hearing this, do you have any thoughts, have you ever thought: as long as you kill me, no one will know your secret?"
Does Zhou Rong dare to do it?
The answer is self-evident.
Let's not talk about the undesirable wisdom of the clouds, but the endless new spells of the clouds, which made Zhou Rong shudder when he thought about it.
This is an invincible opponent. The other party obviously expected the enemy to be the first in every way, but he lured me to do it just now...... No, it's a trap, I'm not stupid, I'm not going to jump into it.
"Master, what are you talking about? I don't have any ill intentions, really, I'm ...... with the Demon Cult."
"Okay, okay, everybody has secrets, and I don't want you to tell your secrets, because you're telling them now. It must be a lie. I'm impatient to expose your lies.
I don't care who you are, I don't care what your purpose is, as long as you don't get in the way of Iris Valley, you don't get in the way of me.
I'm not afraid of the floods outside, I just need to care for my people, and the people I care for are not in danger, and that's enough. I never wanted to change the world, I just didn't want to be changed by the world – you know?"
It is ridiculous to use a monk as a spy. Because monks spend most of their time on cultivation, and a good spy needs to have a mature worldview to ensure that he does not betray, and he needs sophisticated acting skills to ensure that he will not be exposed, and all of this qiē requires time to be cultivated, trained, and brainwashed. It is the monks who lack the most time.
Zhou Rong's acting methods are good, but how did he cultivate his worldview? He grew up in an environment where he regarded the Demon Sect as a snake and scorpion, did he have a firm belief in the Demon Sect? Can he guarantee absolute loyalty to the Demon Sect?
What the clouds need is this unwavering and disloyal. The rest doesn't matter.
The centripetal force of a team, and a sense of loyalty. It's something that needs to be cultivated. Yun Duo is confident that he will pull Zhou Rong into his team, even if Zhou Rong has another identity, what does it matter?
Of course, Yun Duo doesn't expect Zhou Rong to become his double agent - he just wants to be his own master, and he is not capable of being someone else's master, so he can't do anything if he knows the inside story. It is better to be completely ignorant.
Zhou Rong bit his lower lip in the darkness and nodded solemnly in the darkness - he knew that although it was dark in front of him, the clouds must be able to see his movements clearly.
Yun Duo faintly urged: "What are you waiting for, hurry up and dig it." ”
"What?" Zhou Rong was at a loss. He felt very awkward, and the last moment this person solemnly told about good and evil. Regarding the major events of the righteous path and the demon path, the next moment, this person lightly urged him to dig up a small spirit stone.
Well, Master Qingzhu has always been a strange person, not to mention his endless bizarre ideas and wonderful new spells, let's talk about it now—there is no one in the world who knows that the other party is a spy, but he is willing to leave the other party in the team to summon him. Not a single one!
How did I meet such a strange person?
Zhou Rong stretched out his hand to the cave wall depressedly, and a continuous slight aura shock was cast, and he vaguely felt that something in the depths of the soil responded to his shock, and his heart moved, and he immediately used a wind blade technique to dig up the soil.
The earth was very hard, and the Wind Blade fell on the cave wall, and only a thin layer was gently peeled off...... Dust.
Zhou Rong thought for a moment and took out a mining shovel from his storage bag.
Holding the shovel in his hand, Zhou Rongcai recalled that the idea of this shovel also came from his ancestors. When preparing personal belongings before entering the secret realm, Shizu specially customized a batch of tools, this shovel was named the sapper shovel by Shizu, and there were also hoe-shaped things that Shizu named "trekking poles". There are also some called "climbing ropes", "rappelling buckles", marching stoves...... And so on strange objects.
The stone wall is very hard, and every excavation requires spiritual power, but the shovel is very easy to use, which is also the usual style of the master. The ancestor has constant whimsical ideas, but everything that the master gets along with is the same...... Practical and handy.
Of course, Uncle Bixi...... No, the craftsmanship of the Qinglin Master Ancestor is not bad, these tools are all made of magic weapon-grade materials, and it is a piece of cake to dig up the soil.
The soil fell in a flutter, the deep soil peeled off, and occasionally revealed a few low-grade spirit stones, Zhou Rong was already disdainful - the ancestor said that there are medium-grade spirit stones here, then there must be. There are medium-grade spirit stones, who cares about lower-grade spirit stones?
A faint fluorescence appeared, even the thick soil could not cover it, Zhou Rong struggled to dig a few shovels, the whole cave suddenly brightened, in the soil, an irregular yellow spar appeared, Zhou Rong happily dug around the spar a few times, at this moment, he felt that there was another wave of aura heat around him - the ancestor made a move, helping him block the seven-star mantis that pounced because of the exposure of the spirit stone.
Zhou Rong hurriedly dug out the pale yellow spar from the soil, during this period, what move did the ancestor perform, he didn't care about exploring it at all, and when the spirit stone arrived, he felt it a little, Zhou Rong couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy - it was really a medium-grade spirit stone. Such a large piece of medium-grade spirit stone, divided into several standard block sizes, is estimated to be worth ...... Five medium-grade spirit stones. That is, five hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
Zhou Rong was completely oblivious under the ecstasy, he continued to explore the surroundings, and as long as he found the signs, he tried his best to dig. The clouds still didn't make a move, only took cover, and the two quickly moved towards the depths of the cave......
I don't know how much time passed, Zhou Rong felt that the aura in his body was gradually drying up, and he paused slightly. Feeling a few streams of aura flying by his ears, Zhou Rong was a little surprised-the aura of the ancestor is still so full?!
But just a moment of surprise, Zhou Rong suddenly realized that a long time had passed. That's right, if you continue to exercise your spiritual power like this, it will take at least half a day to feel that your spiritual energy is exhausted, and in this half day, you actually forget to observe the movements around you and be vigilant about your surroundings.
What a temptation of treasure!
Such a pile of medium-grade spirit stones. actually let himself forget about his surroundings and forget himself, presumably Chang Lei should be like this, no wonder Shizu said that Chang Lei would not hear the conversation...... But why didn't the master get lost in wealth? How much perseverance should this have?
While sighing, Zhou Rong couldn't help but recall the conversation just now - did the ancestor really forgive himself?
Zhou Rong asked tentatively, "Master, what spell did you use just now?"
The reason why I asked this is because when I asked about new ideas in spells before, the master always had to answer all questions. If the master has no barrier to himself, then the master is not afraid to answer this question.
"It's a new spell that combines three spells in one - using the Golden Blade to strike the enemy. Speed up with wind spells, then heat up the golden blade with fire spells. I call this spell 'Metal Storm'......" The clouds were sure to answer all questions, and seemed undistracted.
"It turned out to be three spells in one, ah, I only thought of two spells...... Master, how to deal with the fluctuations generated when the spells are mixed? I remember that the fluctuations generated by the two systems of spells were enough to produce an aura explosion. Zhou Rong asked shamelessly.
"Yes. It is the aura explosion, you have to cast the spell before the aura explodes, and then use the wind spell to speed it up. Oh, and this requires the fire spell to heat the golden blade instantaneously, in order to heat the golden blade to a blazing level in an instant. The golden blade must be made smaller, so small that it is a little larger than the golden needle, but smaller than the golden blade. I use the Cheng dù of the small to the golden pill, yes, it is the golden pill. ”
Zhou Rong is also a smart person, as long as the clouds point out the key, the rest only needs repeated practice and experimentation to get the correct results. Zhou Rong didn't test it now, he just wanted to test Yunduo's attitude towards him. Silently jotting down the key to Professor Yunduo, Zhou Rong thought to himself, "I see! When I cast spells in the past, I often thought: the Golden Needle Technique is too weak, and the Golden Blade Technique is too slow. There is really one less effective way to deal with group attacks, this 'metal storm' is good!
It turns out that it is often said that a spell explosion is equal to a backlash and will injure the caster. Therefore, when I cultivate, I have always been careful to avoid spell explosions, so much so that I regard spell mixing as a taboo. Now it seems that the spell explosion is also useful, the spell cast by the ancestor just now, the aura is not strong, but the speed is extremely fast, and it only takes one move to deal with the group attack.
Searing metallic juice, why didn't I think of that? Yes, I used to be wary of spell explosions, so I never dared to think about magic mixing...... Master, is this what you call 'solidification of thinking'? What we regard as taboo is actually an obstacle in itself. ”
"But some things must be taboo - there is a taboo in the heart, and there is a bottom line!" the cloud warned meaningfully.
"I understand, Master, I know how to do it!" Zhou Rong also meant a promise.
Chang Lei's shouting sounded outside the road, and at the same time, the wind was howling, Chang Lei was making a big move, and the Yongdao entrance was full of red firelight.
"Master, where is it?...... Oh no, it's a big disaster, tens of thousands of seven-star praying mantises, come and help...... Master, I've run out of pills, I've run out of talismans, hurry up and help, I can't hold on!"
"If you can't hold on, go back", shouted the clouds.
Chang Lei Rusi responded: "Okay, I don't care, you can protect yourself!"
After that, Chang Lei tried his best to perform a fire dragon technique, and the huge flames illuminated the entire cave, and with the flames jumping, Chang Lei disappeared from the spot.
The clouds in the corridor beckoned: "Let's go too...... You've dug a lot too, let's go back!"
"Alas!", Zhou Rong happily activated the teleportation charm. He felt the clouds around him then activate the teleportation charm, and when his feet landed on the ground, he only felt that the aura in the camp was agitating, and it seemed that he was fighting. Twisting his face, he saw that there was no ancestor around.
"What's the matter, who attacked us?" Zhou Rong shouted with a half-full storage bag in his hand, and he saw Ding Ling and Wen Si standing on the city wall to cast spells, and in front of his feet, Chang Lei was lying on the ground panting. (To be continued......)
