Volume 6 Forgetting the Immortal Path Chapter 377 The Lurking Man
Qin Dai looked at the starry sky from the rooftop, and when he evaluated the Qin family in his heart, he didn't know that the Qin family was also evaluating him.
Three stars revolve around a planet, and such a strange celestial phenomenon makes the night of the scorching star so short and even more precious.
Under the same starry sky, in the core area of the Qin family, in Qin Liufeng's exclusive mansion.
At this moment, in the reception hall, the young Qin Liufeng was sitting in his position, and in front of him, there were two middle-aged people of the Golden Immortal Stage standing respectfully.
"Bao Peng, Xie Yan, the two of you sit. Qin Liufeng had an indifferent smile on his face.
"Master Xie. The two stewards bowed down and thanked each other, and then sat down on the side.
With a wave of his hand, his own maid brought tea and snacks to the table of the two.
The three of them tasted tea opposite each other, and after chatting casually for a while, Qin Liufeng asked directly, "The two managers." This Qin Dai was originally my cousin Qin Yu's attendant, his original name was Dumb, and it is said that he can't remember his name and origin. I thought that he was still quite smart, and he had a special hobby for the way of refining, so I accepted him into the 'Immortal Fang', and now the one-year period has expired. Based on what you've seen and heard, how is this man doing? Could it be a spy sent by another family?"
Bao Peng and Xie Yan glanced at each other, and Bao Peng spoke first: "My lord works hard, no matter how big or small, just for the development and prosperity of the Qin family, this spirit really makes Bao Peng admire." Especially when dealing with Qin Dai, he was not frightened and wary because of his unknown origin, but put him to the test in the core business of the Qin family's 'Xuan Xianfang', and recognized people with his performance, which is really rare. ”
Bao Peng deserves to be the head of the 'management office', as soon as he spoke. It's a slap in the face. Although he said unnutritious compliments, he looked firm. The tone was pertinent, and Qin Liufeng was not only not disgusted. On the contrary, it seems to be very useful.
Bao Peng continued at this time: "As for Qin Dai, after the adults specially explained to me last time, I also sent someone to pay attention to it. He usually is in the residence of the 'Valley of Refinement', and his performance in the residence will be better explained by Brother Xie Yan later. In addition to his residence, Qin Dai usually goes to the 'collection place' and 'forging office' the most. With his current status, he couldn't access many areas of these two places. But from what I've observed, he does seem to have a natural interest in the way of refining. In the 'Archive', even some ordinary fairy ores, he was very interested in learning about the characteristics, and often stayed for a day or two. In the 'forging office', he got to know some craftsmen, and most of what he talked about and learned from them was the content of refining tools. I had also asked the craftsmen who were close to him, and Qin Dai seemed to know very little about the immortal realm and refining weapons. He usually talks to him and asks most of the questions......"
Speaking of which, Bao Peng concluded: "According to my observation, this Qin Dai is not like a spy of other refining families, but more like a Ascendant who has just come from the Nether......
Bao Peng frowned. Xuan himself denied: "But his strength is so strong, how can it be that he has just ascended? Maybe he has been in a place where news has been blocked since he ascended." That's why I don't know much about some common sense in the fairy world. ”
Qin Liufeng nodded after listening quietly. He set his eyes on Xie Yan again.
Xie Yan immediately understood, and immediately said, "My lord." This Qin Dai is nominally cooperating with me in the affairs of the 'smelting place'. After a year's observation, I found that he cultivated very hard. During this time in the 'Immortal Fang', he spent most of his time in his own residence except for occasional outings. I also secretly sent people to observe him under various pretexts, and found that he was basically cultivating. Except for cultivation, there is nothing peculiar about it. ”
Speaking of this, Xie Yan showed some hesitation on his face.
Qin Liufeng smiled: "Xie Yan, what do you have, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Xie Yan nodded: "Actually, what I want to say is that the two young ladies Qin Fang and Qin Yu have come to Qin Dai many times in this year. Once, Miss Qin Yu also lost her temper because Qin Dai didn't see her when she went out. As for the other ......"
Xie Yan looked at Qin Liufeng with some embarrassment and stopped talking.
Seeing that Xie Yan suddenly stopped talking, Qin Liufeng knew that he had some speculative words that were inconvenient to say.
Qin Liufeng smiled helplessly and said: "I know what you mean, I have also heard about the two girls Fang'er and Yu'er, they went to find Qin Dai, and I, as an elder brother, don't say much, I just hope that they can grasp the balance themselves." ”
Bao Peng and Xie Yan also nodded with a smile.
Qin Liufeng got up: "Okay, I know, please go back, but you still have to continue to help me pay attention to Qin Dai." If he is not a spy, he will inform me as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, sir!" the two saluted and left.
Qin Liufeng watched the two leave, his expression indifferent.
Regarding Qin Dai's performance, in fact, from Su Lao, he already knew in detail. Calling these two people over, firstly, to check whether the two of them have implemented the things they have explained, and secondly, to check whether Qin Dai still has a side that he doesn't know.
If you want to survive well in this dangerous place of the fairy world, you still have to be cautious.
※※※※※※※※
The road to cultivating immortals is long, and time is meaningless to immortals.
That time, after Qin Liufeng specially found Bao Peng and Xie Yan to understand Qin Dai's situation, another four years passed.
This is already the eighth year after Qin Dai came to the Qin family, and it is also the fifth year that he has joined the Xuan Xian Fang. After such a long time, Qin Dai had long been familiar with the craftsmen inside the 'Immortal Fang'.
As for his secret observation, although it has not stopped, it is obvious that Qin Liufeng's vigilance against him has also relaxed a little. At least in the more than five years of surveillance, Qin Dai has not done anything unfavorable to the Qin family. On the contrary, when a task is given to him, he can do his best and complete it satisfactorily.
On this day, Qin Dai had just returned from the 'forging place' when he saw Lao Su Hou at the door of his residence.
Although the Qin sisters often came to him, the two daughters pretended to ignore Lao Su in front of him. Therefore. As for Lao Su's identity, Qin Dai still doesn't know about it.
The two have been in contact for a long time. In Qin Dai's impression, Lao Su was a maverick old servant. From Lao Su's occasional performance, Qin Dai found that he was actually a master of refining.
And Qin Dai is sure that although Lao Su has hidden his cultivation, his strength is definitely not below him.
Therefore, although he didn't know Lao Su's true identity, Qin Dai still respected him.
"Lao Su, why are you standing outside and waiting? Next time I haven't come back, you can just go to the courtyard and sit and wait for me." ”
Qin Dai walked over and greeted Lao Su casually.
Lao Su smiled. The old man's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Standing outside the courtyard and waiting for you, I can see you come back a moment earlier." ”
Qin Dai quipped: "I'm not a big girl, it's good to be able to make people feel like they have a second look." ”
After getting acquainted with Lao Su, Qin Dai was no longer as silent as before, and the two often joked with each other, as if they had become old friends.
Lao Su had long been accustomed to Qin Dai's cold humor, and immediately nodded seriously and said, "Look carefully, you are really handsome, dress up." Maybe there will be a look that is not lost to the two little girls of the Qin family. ”
Qin Dai's appearance is handsome, but in addition to the masculine lines on his face, bright eyes, high nose, and red lips, he really looks like a beauty.
Qin Dai was suddenly sweating. Lian waved his hand and said, "Are you so boastful?" By the way, Lao Su, what are you looking for me?"
Seeing that Qin Dai was playing, Lao Su suddenly laughed happily. After a while, he couldn't hold back a smile: "The manager asked me to inform you." It is said that after ten days, the main smelting furnace of the Valley of Refining will be maintained after ten days. It's for you and me to go over and help. ”
"What Xie Yan said, is the main smelting furnace of our 'smelting place' going to be maintained?" Qin Dai nodded with some surprise.
The main smelting furnace in the 'Valley of Refining' was naturally very familiar to Qin Dai. It was a big thing, and the entire huge furnace was buried deep underground, with only a small part of the top exposed to the ground of the deep valley, which was convenient for throwing in ore and extracting the essence of smelting.
This huge furnace, just a section of the ground is more than 50 meters high, and the diameter reaches hundreds of meters.
The smelting furnaces of the Qin family, regardless of size, have shaft passages leading to the center of the earth, borrowing the power of the fire in the center of the earth to smelt ore.
And to control the power of the geocentric fire in the furnace, it depends on the formation arranged in the furnace.
These formations are all immortal formations. Since it is an immortal array, it needs to be maintained with energy, and at the same time, it must also be maintained regularly.
After reaching a certain number of years, the forbidden energy inside the formation will become weaker, and at this time, it will need to be rearranged.
It seems that this time it should be ready to rearrange the formation in the main smelting furnace.
Qin Dai's position was originally Xie Wei's deputy, and naturally there was no reason to refuse such a big thing. What's more, he was still more interested in the Qin family's main smelting furnace.
Time flew by, and soon it was ten days later.
On this day, Qin Dai received a notice from Xie Yan and left for the place where the main smelting furnace was located.
The location of the main smelting furnace is in the middle of the entire valley of refining, and it is also the lowest place.
Around the entire main smelting furnace, there is a circular valley all around, and at the top of the valley, a huge immortal realm magic circle is arranged-'Five Elements Qiankun Array'.
The 'Five Elements Qiankun Array', as a well-known formation in the immortal world, has an undoubted effect on its defensive power.
In normal times, this Qin family's largest main smelting furnace is protected in the 'Five Elements Qiankun Array', if outsiders want to get close to the main smelting furnace, there are only two ways, one is to break the formation with strong strength, and the other is to know the special formula, and enter from the correct direction of the formation, according to the instructions of the people in the main formation, in a specific circuit, and finally come to the inside.
A large array of this scale has to be forcibly broken by strength, and it is estimated that it will only be possible if at least two or more Earth Immortal late-stage powerhouses join forces.
Qin Dai, as a person from the 'smelting office', also had the qualifications to enter the Great Array. However, he has been in the 'Forging Immortal Workshop' for five years, and the number of times he has entered the Great Array is definitely not more than a hundred.
This figure shows that the Qin family is strict in the management of the main smelting furnace.
While thinking about things, Qin Dai flew close to the 'Five Elements Qiankun Array', and from a distance, he saw that more than a dozen people had gathered outside the large array in front of him.
"Brother Xie Yan, Lao Su, Brother Daoyi, Brother Tianhui......" Qin Dai hurriedly flew over and greeted everyone casually.
The temperature around the main smelting furnace is up to two thousand degrees, and the temperature inside the furnace. It is as high as five or six thousand degrees. With such a high temperature, all craftsmen in the immortal period will be unbearable. Therefore. Those present were the strongest and most skilled craftsmen in the 'smelting room'. Qin Dai was naturally too familiar with these people.
Everyone also greeted Qin Dai with a smile.
Although Qin Dai has only been in the 'Forging Immortal Workshop' smelting office for a short time, he is strong and easy to get along with, and his popularity among the craftsmen is still very good.
While a small group of people were talking enthusiastically, Qin Dai noticed an unfamiliar face. This person was a grim young man in a gray robe, which Qin Dai had never seen before.
At this moment, the gray-robed young man stood silently at the edge of the crowd. The location is very inconspicuous, and it is close to this large group of craftsmen. The aura of this gray-robed young man was probably around the early stage of the Golden Immortal, and his strength among the immortals was quite passable.
Seeing that all the craftsmen were paying attention to this strange young man intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Yan introduced everyone in a timely manner: "This is Brother Feng, he is a good friend of Lord Qin Liufeng, and he has studied the formation of the fairy realm, and knows that our 'smelting place' is going to rearrange the main smelting furnace today, so Lord Qin Liufeng entrusted Brother Feng to come over and help us." Everyone is their own person. No restraints. ”
While Xie Yan was introducing, the gray-robed young man just swept his gaze over everyone, which could be regarded as greeting everyone.
"What a cold man. Qin Dai couldn't help but think in his heart.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xie Yan immediately cleared his throat. He said aloud to everyone: "Okay everyone, now that everyone has arrived, let's prepare to enter this 'Five Elements Qiankun Array'." Except for the Feng brothers. Most of you present have already entered this formation, and you should know that this 'Five Elements Qiankun Array' is based on the meaning of the five elements in the Nine Great Origins. Refer to the principle of Qiankun and form a large array. Time and space flow within the array. The road to the formation is changing every moment, and without the guidance of the people of the main formation, even if there is a mantra to enter the formation, it is difficult to enter. ”
"Now, Lord Qin Liufeng has temporarily lent me the spirit beads of the main formation, and I will lead everyone into the formation together. Everyone remember to follow my footsteps, otherwise, once you get lost in the formation, not only will I come alone to pick me up, but you may even be attacked by the formation and injured, absolutely sloppy. After speaking, he glanced at the field with sharp eyes: "Is everyone clear?"
Everyone responded with a bang: "Manager Xie rest assured." ”
Even the gray-robed young man nodded slightly, indicating that he was already clear.
Everything was ready, Xie Wei, as the one who led the way, waved his big hand, and stepped out first, and the light cover of the 'Five Elements Qiankun Array' that flowed in brilliance suddenly rippled like water waves, and then Xie Wei came directly to the inside of the formation.
All the craftsmen followed, and they also stepped into the formation one by one.
Qin Dai entered the position of the big array very far back, and he was already in the last few. He paid attention to it, but found that the gray-robed young man was the last, and it seemed that he wanted to be the last to enter the battle.
Generally, people who are new to the 'Five Elements Qiankun Array' will choose a relatively high position, first, they can get the guidance of the person leading the way in front, and second, if they take the wrong route, they can also have a reminder from the person who follows behind. But the behavior of this gray-robed young man is too strange, right?
While Qin Dai was puzzled, his pace of progress slowed down.
"Brother Qin Dai, why are you in a daze? You're all in front, you have to hurry up." Behind Qin Dai, a middle-aged strong craftsman reminded with a smile.
"Oh! good!" Qin Dai came back to his senses and was about to enter the formation, but his face suddenly changed.
"There's an enemy attack!"
At the same moment that a low reminder sounded, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly passed over.
As the energy fluctuated, a peerlessly powerful and ferocious aura suddenly pressed down on everyone in the field like a mountain.
In the midst of the powerful momentum, a black shadow broke through the air and struck.
At this time, there were 3 craftsmen who had not yet entered the battle in addition to Qin Dai and the gray-robed youth.
Qin Dai has the strength close to the early stage of the Earth Immortal, and he can still bear it, but most of the rest of the craftsmen only have the strength of the late stage of the mortal immortal and the early stage of the golden immortal, and suddenly sweat broke out on his forehead, and with a grunt, his knees couldn't help but be pressed to the ground.
"Earth Immortal Middle Stage, or even a late stage master!?" Feeling the powerful momentum of the other party, Qin Dai's face changed drastically, and he was about to summon his own weapon to protect himself, but he suddenly heard a low shout from the gray-robed youth.
"Qin Dai! Hurry, you take the other three people and hurry into the battle. After entering the formation, the opponent's momentum will not affect you. ”
Qin Dai looked at the gray-robed young man in astonishment.
At this moment, the gray-robed young man looked coldly at the figure that rushed towards him, but the momentum on his body continued to rise.
The middle and late stages of the Golden Immortal, the early and middle stages of the Earth Immortals!!
The momentum of the gray-robed youth did not completely stabilize until he reached the late stage of the Earth Immortal.
At the same time, a long sword that emitted a fiery red light was also held in the hand of the gray-robed youth.
The momentum of the gray-robed young man completely greeted the flying black shadow.
The momentum of the two masters collided in mid-air, and immediately caused a riot of air currents visible to the naked eye.
The momentum of the two fought against each other, and the pressure on Qin Dai and the other three craftsmen was suddenly reduced.
"Brother Qin Dai, let's hurry into the big array!!" The three craftsmen were full of sweat on their foreheads, and they quickly pushed Qin Dai towards the 'Five Elements Qiankun Array'.
Before Qin Dai was pushed into the big array, he heard the gray-robed young man say loudly: "Brother Tai is also a master, but why has he been sneakily lurking in my Qin family during this time, what is the plan?"
As soon as the gray-robed young man's voice fell, the black figure laughed arrogantly and said, "Sneaky, I think this sentence is most suitable for Qin Liufeng yourself, and you actually pretend to be a kid in the Golden Immortal Stage." Do you think I didn't find you? Since you already know that I am lurking in the Qin family, why don't you try your catties and ...... today?"
"Qin Liufeng, did this gray-robed young man turn out to be Qin Liufeng's disguise?" Qin Dai looked back a little stunned.
Qin Dai couldn't hear the conversation between the two later, because he had already been pushed into the 'Five Elements Qiankun Array'.
Although he couldn't hear the words, he could still see the battle outside the battle.
Qin Dai followed the craftsmen in front of him zigzag forward, and at the same time used his afterglow to pay attention to the battle between the two late stage masters of the Earth Immortals outside the formation. (To be continued.) )
