"Why?!"

She told me not to be surprised, and she really wanted to come up with an idea that surprised me.

"Bet on both sides. I smell that the last battle between the two clans will take place at the Blood Sacrifice, and this is the most critical time of my life - I will naturally step on two boats to ensure victory. As for what Huaxia Yidi debates, I don't care at all, it doesn't matter which side wins, as long as the cave mansion of Falling Star Mountain is in my hands. ”

"So you're going to go to the Baiyun natives to tell them about Wang Xiangfu's deposit?"

"Well, turning the situation into a muddy water is best for us who are not strong enough. Coming here with you, on the one hand, it is secluded and uninhabited in the cave, which is convenient for communication, and on the other hand, after explaining to you, I can get out and go to the Baiyun Tribe. ”

I stared at her with wide eyes.

Murong Zhi took out a conch from Na Ring,

"I gave this conch when I said goodbye to the real superficial. If you want to do anything to help, just call it with a conch. ”

She blew the conch, and the sound was melodiously transmitted along the tide to the place where the sea and the sky meet.

"In an hour the white dolphin will come, and I will take it to the golden sand beach of the North Island to ventilate the news. Tomorrow morning, when I come back, we will return to the tower together, and just make up a lie to the elder that I didn't return for one night—even if I and I had a night in the wilderness, it would be no problem. ”

She smiled.

"No way!"

"You still work for the Chinese people, and you don't have to have any psychological burden. It was I who wrote to the natives. ”

"I'm not going to let you do that. ”

-- A surging aura ignited in my chest, and my tone involuntarily became cold.

It's not that I suddenly have much attachment to Huaxia Yidi's debate, it's a calm rant that she can't control and can't drink.

"Oh, I'm the giver, but you're not. ”

The alfonsino swept over half of my body, cutting through my afterimage.

In one breath, I jumped over three large rocks in the cave.

She stabbed three times in the middle of a breath.

The tip of the knife is poisonous, and it is the weight of the dead whale salamander.

I'm bleeding from my face.

The blade did not touch me,

- But the wind cut through the air, and my face was cut open by the air, but fortunately, the poison on the blade did not spread through the air.

I wiped my face, and the shallow wound healed immediately after touching my hand.

The cave was so small and unusually small that I couldn't use my hands and feet in combat, and she used a dagger to fight me in close combat, and I was sure to be at a disadvantage.

What's worse is that I don't have a weapon right now, and even if I did, I couldn't find a blade that could resist that high-grade divine weapon.

"Hey, you're crazy. ”

I made eye contact with her wolf, and in her pupils I also looked like a robber with a cut path.

But my hand behind my back quietly grabbed a vine

I'm hesitating if the war is unfavorable, should I get away in time?

――I suddenly realized that Murong Zhi had already calculated it.

If I disagree with her, she will forcibly drive me back to the town by force, and she will report to the natives as she pleases, and I will be compelled to act according to the plan she has just proposed.

――What other way to go?

I can't get away, it's not the situation I want.

Murong Zhi took a few heavy breaths. She gently kneaded her temples with her fingers, and her face gradually softened,

"When I was at sea, when I first came to Baiyun Township, you listened to me all - why is everyone alive and well now, but they are more energetic than me?"

She said as gently as she could, but the dagger remained tight.

"Because at that time I did not recover from everyone's death, and felt that it was all my fault, so I followed your pace in the direction, and after so many days of training, I was able to go on on my own, what to do and what not to do, I have my own plans. ”

"Hmph. Who said that they would not part ways in the future, and now they have their own thoughts about such things. ”

Her taunts couldn't move my mind, and I thought she was delusional, and now she was in a state of sanity, and I would blow anything hurtful in this situation.

"Think of something else. There are still three months to go, and we will be able to practice hard, and then we will definitely be able to step into the realm of foundation building. Now it's just a matter of focusing on killing Aung San Baoyan and the Dust Eaters. After the matter is completed, I will spend a dim sum machine, and I will not let a few Jindan in Shunshui Town take away our cave mansion. ”

"Before the blood sacrifice, we can only reach the strength of the lower level of the foundation building with our best efforts, how confident do you have to get a piece of the pie from a few golden pills? No matter if the other side falls first, we will have to bear the positive pressure of the golden pill of the individual side - so let them fight each other until they die. To tell you the truth, when I first landed on the island, I heard that it was really superficial that the two sides had fought evenly for 30 years, and I didn't know how much joy I had in my heart, so it was convenient for us to fish in troubled waters. Now that Wang Qinian is out first, and then let the other Jindan kill each other, it is the best ending. Which foundation on the island will be able to hold us back?—if my father were alive, he would have been so consistent. ”

――If you consider people's hearts from the worst perspective, Murong Zhi's idea is not too wrong.

I shouldn't have expected her to be bound by the morality of the world. Isn't the so-called trust a thing that is used by conspirators?

Whenever Murong Zhi utters this kind of methodical analysis that a Confucian gentleman sounds cold, I won't be angry.

In this case, I was strangely surprised to appreciate her.

I have a different temperament from her: when I can use my brain, I try to solve problems with my fists as much as I can, like my father, and only when I am weak or in complicated situations is compelled to use my brain (although my head is usually very bright when I do).

When I meet this kind of person who thinks of bad ideas all the time, I feel like I'm looking at a work of art. I love both the beauty of her colors and the wickedness of her intellect.

――Is his father's ability to tolerate Murong Ziling's covert activities in a similar mood?

I suddenly realized that I didn't really have a good or evil view of others, only personal likes and dislikes.

I'm a pirate, sure. Even if you become a cultivator in the future, you will be a cultivator like a pirate - is there a cultivator like a pirate in the world?

"We have a way to improve faster. In that way, before the blood sacrifice, not only can you reach the upper layer of the foundation, but you can even hope to attack the golden pill - it is enough to move between the two sides with ease. ”

I say.

"Is that the way?"

She asked.

"Well, just like the dust eaters give empowerment to the elite warriors of the indigenous people, we can also ask Wang Xiangfu to give us the empowerment. For us, the odds of survival are definitely higher than 10%, and we can take a gamble. Those elders will only take revenge for Wang Qi when we are in a hurry, and I ask for it tightly, and Wang Xiangfu will definitely agree. ”

"Obviously, what I just built is a better plan, I won't gamble my life, and you don't have to gamble for me. ”

Murong Zhi's mind must be thinking about her personal fate of carrying the rise and fall of Dayan, and she will definitely weigh this kind of thing with too high a chance of death.

I don't have any worries.

The two of us were still in a cold stalemate.

"Plop, plop. ”

The sound of splashing water in the cave pool was really superficial and jumped out of the water with a juju ball, breaking the silence between me and Murong Zhi.

"Big sister, what are you looking for me? Hey, you're there too!"

"Well, I haven't seen you for many months, and I miss you very much. ”

Murong Zhi replied heartlessly

- She hesitated.

"Actually, we're here to play ball with you, how are you practicing?"

I smiled brightly and stroked the white dolphin, too fake to lie anymore.

"Hey, it turns out that you're not a human being who is forgetful. I've actually looked for you many times, and my eldest sister said that you went to play on the holy mountain, and I thought you were eaten by the mountain god - rest assured, I have practiced the ball to stick to my body as much as I want, and I won't lose to you! Hurry up, hurry up and start playing, I can't wait!"

Really superficial and I spent an afternoon playing ball on a small hidden beach in the South Island.

Murong Zhi stopped talking a few more times, but after all, he didn't mention the golden sand beach of the North Island.

"We've moved to a Chinese town in the South Island for the last few months, and it's taken us a while to settle in, so we haven't had time to play with you. ”

I thought that this monster was nothing but a long-lived monster - but I found that the white dolphin was extremely talented at playing ball. It took me a year to practice, and he was as good as me in just two months.

Murong Zhi, who was on the side, said that my score and his score were sticking up.

While playing and chatting, I asked what was really going on at sea recently, and what was going on in the North Island human fleet.

"It's not the same as it used to be, it's been boring for hundreds of years. If you want to say it reluctantly, there are two small things that you are not interested in telling you. ”

"Don't say how you know I'm not interested. ”

"Hmph, the first thing is that long-haired white-headed monster in the North Island, who hasn't come to the sea to practice recently. ”

- The long-haired, white-headed monster of the North Island? Isn't that Aung San Bao Yan?

"Let's be specific. ”

"There's nothing to talk about. That weirdo is scary. A few years ago, when I saw him, he was a dark-haired kid, and he swam to the storm wall every five days to practice, and I could still sneak in and watch at that time. In the next few years, he became more and more strange, not only did he look terrible, but the smell of his body became more and more disgusting, and every time he came, the sea seemed to be polluted by him. I smelled him from afar and ran away - I thought he would kill me. Thankfully he hasn't been here lately, and it's best if he's dead - and if you smell him, stay away. It was something as terrible as the mountain god. ”

Jin Dan warriors can do not exceed their knees, but it takes hard practice to stand smoothly on the surging sea.

Aung San Bao Yan, as I had speculated, was honed in the battle with the Storm Ring and the Sea.

His rapid aging in the past few years is likely to be the result of being taken by the dust eaters.

"What else is there to do?"

"The storm rings have thinned. ”！！！！！

I was secretly surprised, and Murong Zhi's face changed drastically.

- Sure enough, it was a barrier set up by cultivators with spells.

The Storm Ring is thinning, so the spells that the cultivators arranged five hundred years ago are also beginning to fail.

What about the spells he laid out elsewhere?

"Next time we play ball, let's go to the golden sand beach in the North Island. ”

I said to the white dolphins.

The result of the seven-game game was 4-3, and I didn't give my best and lost.

It's really superficial and drunk to return proudly, throwing out a very beautiful splash.

......

We returned to the stone tower before nightfall.

Murong Zhi gave up the idea of reporting to the natives.

In the evening, Wang Xiangfu summoned us for something.

He is different from when he returned to his youth, although he has the appearance of a young man, but the essence is introverted, and his calm temperament is unconsciously exuded, which makes people feel a brother-like sense of dependence. This is the charm of a leader, and there is also a different but similar aura in my father's body, as if it is a castle that cannot be attacked by foreign enemies and demons in troubled times.

Whether it's a thief or a sage, the taste that attracts the crowd to follow should be the same.

"While I know you can hide yourselves well, try not to show up in town until the Blood Sacrifice. Now that the new year is dead, people's hearts are fluctuating, and if there is a traitor, it will not be good to give your savings to the natives. ”

"Don't dare again. ”

Murong Zhi responded respectfully and solemnly.

In the afternoon, she was still thinking about selling the information about Wang Xiangfu's reply to Jin Dan to the natives.

I couldn't help but roll in my heart, but I couldn't help but smile at the corners of my mouth.

"Oh, according to Chinese customs, men can only get married after the twenty crown ceremony. ”

Wang Xiangfu caught my smile and diverted to another topic.

"Huh?"

I don't understand what he's talking about.

Murong Zhi bowed her head very shyly, half-truth.

"Although they are a good match, and there is no big problem between cousins, you must not get married until you are twenty years old, and I will ask Qitai to give you a marriage certificate at that time. Young people don't need to be in a hurry, after all, you are only fifteen or sixteen years old now...... If you are not old, try not to do that in the future. ”

- Oh. I understand. Wang Xiangfu misunderstood my smile, thinking that I went to the field with Murong Zhi today.

Murong Zhi also took the opportunity to muddy the matter, so as to completely cover up the matter of preparing to cooperate with the enemy today.

She glanced at me wryly.

――You're too good at acting, and now I'm not black and I'm black, and the more I find out, the more suspicious I become.

"Next time, I'll control myself and stop bullying Xiao Zhi casually. ”

I threw dirty water on myself in desperation, and I really didn't get anything.

"Well, I can't forget my promise. Oh, now I'm down to business. ”

Wang Xiangfu took out a copper plate and delivered it to us.

It was engraved with countless intricate runes of strange shapes.

To say that it is complicated, in fact, it needs to be discerned a little - the runes are not as complex as my three mantras of thunder, fire and wind.

But the runes of the Three Mantras of Thunder, Fire, and Wind have been imprinted in my soul since I was a child, and no matter how complicated or unclear the reason is, I can completely reproduce them.

The runes on the copper plate are still heavenly books that are about to despair for me, who has no training in spells at all.

"This is the Falling Star Mountain Cave Mansion formation copied before Qi Nian, which is actually the engraved mark on the gate of the Cave Mansion. ”

Confused, I asked:

"I've read the "Introduction to Formations" in the library, the so-called formation is to engrave the runes that guide and gather spiritual energy on special leylines, and then install a trigger switch, which can trigger a special effect after triggering. If you guard the Cave Mansion, the formation should be etched on the leylines outside the Falling Star Mountain Cave Mansion, how can it be engraved on the gate?"

"Xiaokong knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. The leylines that provide aura, the runes that guide aura, and the switches are the three major links of the formation. Regardless of the switch, do you think there are any spiritual energy veins in the Falling Star Valley outside the cave?"

- I heard Wang Qitai relay, the valley is full of skeletons left over from the eating of dust-eating insects, and the evil aura is extremely heavy, and the cave is a reconstruction of the stars in the sky, and the attributes should be extremely conflicting.

"The aura of Baiyun Township itself is thin, and the valley is even more gloomy. It needs to be arranged, and the aura can only be channeled from the cave. Therefore, Qitai and they took a closer look, and the formation of the cultivator is called the projection formation - the aura comes from the inside of the cave, and the runes on the gate are projected on the periphery of the cave, and a formation is generated. ”

"Doesn't this mean that as long as you destroy part of the gate, the formation will not be broken?

I lead the way,

But then the province was violently saved,

"The runes are engraved on the star iron with the heavenly fire attached, and no weapon can destroy the runes. ”

Murong Zhi took a deep breath. I immediately understood what she meant.

She has the ancestral high-grade golden eye bream, which is the same as Xing Tie, and she would rather risk having her hands scorched by the heavenly fire, and she will also destroy the runes and dissolve the formation into invisibility.

This is our hidden method.

"I have copies of other formation runes, you can take this copper plate and refer to it. The matter of breaking the formation will be postponed, and we still need to find out what the switch is to trigger the formation. ”

Wang Xiangfu slapped his palm, and a warrior walked out from behind the screen.

"In the next words and etiquette, build the upper layer of the foundation, and be good at Bajiquan. The old patriarch entrusted me to train the two of them in martial arts, so that you can break through to the foundation as soon as possible. ”

I know him, isn't this guy the uncle who used to detain me in Dazhai and was given Tianxiang Meng's sweat medicine?

I'm crazy, and I lowered my voice and learned the voice of the immortal chief nameless son I pretended,

"Kids, don't come unharmed. ”

Yan Zhili blushed and snorted,

"It's you, kid. I don't keep my hands in training, so don't blame me until you cry. ”

- Hahaha, my subordinates have also produced a few foundations, so I may not be afraid of you.

"Senior brother, don't be angry with my brother, I also want to practice martial arts as soon as possible and kill Aung San Baoyan to avenge my master. ”

Murong Zhi's face was a lot more pleasant when she spoke—I guess they knew each other when Murong Zhi stayed in Nanpo Dazhai, probably only Wang Qinian and she knew each other in their hearts that each other was a cheap master and a cheap apprentice, and the other four generals still took her as a junior sister seriously.

Of course, I don't like other men getting too close to her.

The discussion with Murong Zhi at noon rolled over my heart again.

"Brother Yan, your level is not worthy of teaching me. Patriarch Wang, can you give me an empowerment so that I can break through to the foundation now?"

I blurted out, solemnly and without being frivolous.

The people in the field were completely stunned, only Murong Zhi lowered her head and grabbed her sleeves.
