Chapter 37: Slap in the face
Without the harassment of the Golden Thread Fire Frog King, Sun Hao refined the Flying Grass Technique Talisman again, especially after Sun Hao practiced for more than two months in a row, after refining the top-grade Flying Grass Technique, Tong Li also appeared in the Fire Frog Swamp again, and at this time, half a year had passed, and Sun Hao, who was extremely full, had also rapidly improved his cultivation to the middle of the fifth layer of Qi refining.
Tong Li's cultivation has been upgraded to the late stage of the fourth layer of qi refining.
In the past few months, after continuous practice, Sun Hao has laid out all the first-level basic formations and second-level basic formations recorded by the Aoki Sect.
Consciously accumulating a lot of experience in arranging formations, Sun Hao began to set up first-level formations.
The first first-level formation Sun Hao chose was the first-level Lost Trace Formation, and the Lost Trace Formation was a very practical formation among the first-level formations. Its effect can cover up the traces, making it difficult for people outside the formation to detect the situation in the formation, and once it enters the formation, it will also produce a labyrinth-like effect, although it has no special lethality, but it can trap the disciples who have not dabbled in the maze array, and the disciples of the Aoki Sect will generally bring one or two maze array disks for backup when they go out.
Sun Hao began to concentrate on practicing the formation in the Fire Frog Swamp.
Consciously and sooner or later there will be a fierce battle with the Golden Thread Fire Frog King, Sun Hao is constantly enriching his ability, improving his cultivation is one aspect, and refining the talisman seal and laying the formation will become a good auxiliary.
At present, the Golden Thread Fire Frog King, who was still sleeping soundly, didn't know that Sun Hao was already playing his own mind, this spirit beast was not very intelligent, but Sun Hao couldn't help it, so he fell asleep with peace of mind. Of course, the Golden Thread Fire Frog King is not completely out of action.
It gathered all the fire frogs from the middle stage of the ninth layer of qi refining to its side, and gathered around its old nest.
Sun Hao was eyeing the Fire Frog Swamp and aiming at the Golden Thread Fire Frog King, and kept practicing the formation talisman while making up his mind.
At this time, Qu Youyan's master Dongfang Sheng led the senior brother Yukun Long and the fifth senior brother Ma Yiming to Xieyuefang City to participate in the auction meeting held by the sect.
The small Zhuji Pill refined by Dongfang Sheng is sought after, and the Qi Conduction Pill refined by Yukun Long and Ma Yiming also sells well.
The master and apprentice were in a good mood, and when the auction came out, Qu Youyan said: "Since you have come to Xieyuefang City, why don't you go around?"
Dongfang Sheng nodded his head and waved his hand very angrily: "Xiaoqu, for the master, I am in a good mood today, just buy what you like later."
Qu Youyan had a smile in his eyes, and said respectfully in his mouth, "Okay, Master."
The master and apprentice went around the free trading area, and really found a few pieces of spiritual grass that were misvalued by scattered cultivation, and they were even more interested.
The group swayed into the shop area, in front of a medium-sized shop called Zhulinyuan, Qu Youyan's eyes flashed with a cold light, led the way, and walked in.
The shopkeeper's eyesight is not weak, and when he saw the clothes of several people, he immediately trotted out all the way, bowed and saluted: "I have seen all the immortals."
Qu Youyan's eyes quickly swept the shelves, and he said, "What's the matter with this shop, there are so few goods, so low-level?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Yukun Long's eyes.
There is no stupid person among the monks, and at the same time as Qu Youyan spoke, the master and apprentice all understood the trick. Dongfang Sheng still smiled, and he didn't stop it.
Qu Youyan asked, and a layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on the round face of the shopkeeper Gu, and he quickly raised his voice and said: "Master Qiyu, the owner of this store is a disciple of the South Middle Court of the Aoki Sect, there is no problem with the supply of goods, and a batch of new goods will come today."
Several masters and apprentices who were familiar with Qu Youyan's deeds immediately understood the joints.
Xiao Wan was sitting in the shop, and when she saw the guò formation, she immediately recognized Qu Youyan.
Don't dare to slack off, he sent a few transmissions casually, walked down from the second floor unhurriedly, and after standing still, he saluted slightly, Xiao Wan smiled and said: "Aoki disciple Xiao Wan has seen all the elders, all the senior brothers."
Down with a main master, Dongfang Sheng and Yukun Long are not too good, and they both smiled slightly.
Qu Youyan said with a smile on the side: "Master, this girl turned out to be a maidservant in the South Courtyard, and she was lucky to refine her qi, and the doorway was limited, so the shop was naturally quite shabby."
Sun Hao mentioned this situation to her slightly before the trial, so that she could take precautions, and at this time, she would not be caught off guard, and she would not be in a hurry, Xiao Wan would have a batch of new pills on the shelves of her store."
"New elixir", Dongfang Sheng was surprised.
Glancing at Qu Youyan, Xiao Wan still had a smile on her face, and she resisted the pressure of the other party's cultivation and momentum, trying to keep her mind calm, Xiao Wan opened her mouth and said: "If the elder has any doubts, you can send a disciple to sit in the shop and see if I can have new pills on the shelves in my Bamboo Forest Garden within three days."
Yu Kunlong said lightly on the side: "That's not necessary, we don't have time to spend here, I will explain to the sect deacon disciples and law enforcement disciples, and let them focus on it."
Qu Youyan's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that the senior brother's trick is powerful, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, it is really the special care of the power of the sect in Xieyuefang City, Sun Hao's bamboo forest garden can be opened, and anything that makes Sun Hao uncomfortable is a good thing.
Hearing Yu Kunlong's words, Xiao Wan frowned.
At this time, someone outside the Bamboo Forest Garden walked in laughing: "Elder Dongfang is really a rare guest, why don't you go to the junior brother to sit in Xieyuefang City?"
At the door, a monk who looked like a young man walked in, and behind this young man, Wang Guangrong with a smile on his face also came in, and when he saw Dongfang Sheng and the others, he nodded respectfully.
Elder Xu's name is Xu Youzhi, and he is also a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator, and he is the elder of the Aoki Sect stationed in Xieyuefang City, and the most important thing is that this Xu Youzhi is the nephew of Sect Master Xu, and his words on Sect Master Xu's line carry a lot of weight.
Seeing Xu Youzhi's arrival, Dongfang Sheng, who was old and refined, knew that this Bamboo Forest Garden was not so easy to handle, so he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would walk around here casually, but I still disturbed Elder Xu, hahaha."
"Where is it" Xu Youzhi also laughed: "Elder Dongfang came to the Leaning Moon, it really made the Leaning Moon shine, why bother, how about it, my Leaning Moon Fang City is still doing well, if there is anything wrong, please ask the Dongfang Hall Master to give me more advice."
"Where is it", Dongfang Sheng also laughed: "Xieyuefang City is entering the Douling, Elder Xu is well managed, admire and admire."
The two elders complimented each other here, seemingly jokingly. But Qu Youyan understood that Elder Xu was helping Zhulinyuan to come out, please advise him if he said something inappropriate, and the master didn't seem to want to offend this Elder Xu, so it is estimated that this matter will be like this today.
So, intentionally or unintentionally, the matter of Zhulinyuan was put aside, and a few people, under the leadership of Xiaowan, went to the second floor of Zhulinyuan to sit down, chatting happily. Even Qu Youyan and Xiaowan seem to have become good friends, and they are polite and polite in front of the elders of the sect, and they have gained a lot of impression points.
Everyone understands people, and a lot of words stop at the point. After chatting for a while, Dongfang Sheng got up and said goodbye: "Elder Xu, there are a lot of things in Dantang, I will leave here today, and I wish that under Elder Xu's care, business will get better and better."
Dongfang Sheng got up, Xu Youzhi sent him off enthusiastically, and when he sent it to the gate of Zhulin Garden, Xu Youzhi seemed to remember something, and shouted to Wang Guangrong behind him: "That's right, Guangrong, give the Qi Conduction Pill and Xiao Zhuji brought to Zhulin Yuan to Xiao Wan, and let them put them on the shelves."
Outside the door, Dongfang Sheng's body trembled slightly, and then walked quietly to the outside of Xieyangfang City, but Qu Youyan almost stumbled, but fortunately, Yukun Long next to him helped him, so he didn't fall.
Walking out of Xieyuefang City, Dongfang Sheng, who led the way in front, had a gloomy face and did not say a word, and several disciples stopped laughing.
Whether you admit it or not, you were slapped in the face today.
The face snapped.
After flying for a while, Yu Kunlong called softly: "Master", Dongfang Sheng snorted, and then spoke coldly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Qu Youyan immediately came to his senses, and didn't dare to slack off: "Master, the disciple is from Feilong Village on the border of Xia Kingdom, and Sun Hao Gu Yun is a native of Lanlin Town, ...... 1510, he explained his grievances with Sun Hao and Gu Yun clearly.
Finally, he said: "The disciple is very familiar with the housekeeper of the Southern Middle Court, and according to him, that Sun Hao is now in the Fire Frog Swamp for trial."
Fire Frog Swamp?
Closing his eyes, Dongfang Sheng thought for a while and said: "The disciples of the sect should unite with each other, disputes between each other can be resolved, and worldly hatred is not a matter in the eyes of monks."
Qu Youyan was a little stunned, and didn't quite understand the meaning of Master's words, but he still replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."
Ahead, Dongfang Sheng flew for a while, shook his head and said to himself: "The Fire Frog Swamp has not been cleaned up for many years, I am afraid that it has been flooded, but it is quite dangerous......"
Behind him, Yukun Long's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he echoed: "Yes, Master, I'm afraid that Sun Hao has died in the Fire Frog Swamp now."
Dongfang Sheng had a little smile on his face: "Kunlong, don't talk nonsense."
A cold smile appeared on Yukun Long's handsome face: "I understand, Master, the disciple is no longer speculating at will, but Master, the disciple is going to go out for a few months recently, try it out, and find an opportunity by the way, do you think it is feasible?"
"Okay", Dongfang Sheng finally showed a bright smile on his face: "Hahaha, you go to the trial, it's best to call a few more junior disciples, and by the way, bring the old man with him, and let him do the task of the sect."
Ma Yiming's papaya face, usually not smiling, is a stuffy gourd, at this time it is rare to speak: "Master, kill chickens with a knife, are you too careful."
Dongfang Sheng's expression was correct, and he taught: "The lion fights the rabbit and still does his best, a song, you have this mentality, you may suffer a big loss in the future."
Ma Yiming's expression was straight, and he quickly bowed and said, "Disciple understands."
Qu Youyan's heart was settled, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
