Chapter 554: Demonic Smoke Rises
Full moon night, open sea.
Although the Ming family has now all moved to [Dongzong Island], they still have a deep affection for this place, and they often refer to the 'old island' in their conversations.
The houses on the island have been uninhabited for many years, eroded by the sea breeze and decaying everywhere.
There is a figure flying close in the sky, pressing the light in front of a broken wall in the center of the island, it is a lean and capable old cultivator who builds the foundation, his eyes are attentive, and he looks forward to the cunning of a philistine, it is the Liu Guang who went to the black market to buy a furnace when he stretched his sword.
Since You Dayou learned about the hidden dangers in the open sea, Qi Xiu ordered the Chu Qin monks to be evacuated from the open sea, but Nangong Yanran, who was actually in charge of this matter, was reluctant to live in the open sea, and secretly moved, and transferred Liu Guang, who was on an errand in the Iron Wind Islands at the time, to Haidong Island, and still stayed in the open sea to take charge of business, her idea was that this Liu Guang was hated by Qi Xiu, and if there was an accident, Qi Xiu would definitely not be angry with her, and there would be no loss to Chu Qin.
Liu Guang is not stupid, he suddenly became rich and the people of Qin Chumen evacuated from the open sea, and he was able to taste the taste. But firstly, he was really reluctant to have an overview of the power and status brought by Chu Qin's offshore business, and secondly, Nangong Yanran took advantage of the free ride of Zhan Jianfeng's old subordinates to operate him from Keqing to Chu Qin's official disciple, and moved his family into Chu Qin's land, which was Liu Guang's wish, since his wish was fulfilled, he also stayed in the open sea with peace of mind. Facing the broken wall, he slowly and carefully arranged his appearance, stepped forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared, it turned out that the broken wall was an illusion, and it was the entrance to the formation, and it was very exquisite.
Inside the phantom array is an ordinary cave mansion, at this time the gate is closed, there are two male cultivators standing outside the door, both of them are born with good looks, but the distance between the two sides is very far, it seems that the road is not quite right.
"Yo, isn't this Liu Da's practice!"
The older one had a more cheerful personality, and when he saw Liu Guang coming in, he said with a smile: "I heard that there is a matter of business outside the Chu Qin Gate now, Brother Liu can make a decision?"
Lord Shamen laughed. ”
Liu Guang recognized the other party as Sha Nuo, the lord of Baishamen, the wild son of the rumored lord of Chu Qin, and he was already in the late realm, and he was hopeful, and he didn't even look at himself in the past. Don't dare to slack off, he stepped forward to salute, said a few naughty jokes, and then turned to another person, Ming Ziyuan, the head of the Ming family on Dongzong Island, and said with a smile: "The head of the Ming family is not harmed. ”
Ming Ziyuan, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, arched his hand, "Brother Liu." He has always been a moral Confucian, and he can't talk to Sha Nuo, who is accustomed to Baishan, and he has a general relationship with the eight-sided exquisite Liuguang, but they are also in the open sea, and the Ming family has a lot of business dealings with Liuguang, so he is familiar with each other, "You came just in time, let me ask about something." ”
Liu Guang said: "Please speak." ”
Ming Ziyuan said: "Recently, the price of [Swordfish Scales] has plummeted, do you know the reason?"
Liu Guang smiled, "I heard the news that there are unknown [swordfish] near [White Tower City] who have died for no reason, and floating corpses fill the sea for more than ten miles, so ...... Hey. ”
"I see!" Ming Ziyuan suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why is there no such good thing near my house." ”
The three of them had their own concerns, and barely maintained the chatter until the door of the cave opened silently, and the three of them immediately cleaned up their appearances and bowed in unison.
A woman in a tie appeared at the door, her pale skin was like a ghost, and when she saw the three of them, her face with high cheekbones was immediately covered with disgust.
"See Uncle Shi, I wish Uncle Shi to advance to the middle realm, and the road will be expanded. ”
Ming Ziyuan knelt down first and bowed to worship, and Sha Nuo and Liu Guang could only pray with the mountain.
"You waited for me to get out of the customs. ”
The woman in the silk cloth is naturally the sword demon Qi makeup, his personality is cold and direct, and he does not mince words about the three of them, "Are you here to ask me for help again?"
Liu Guang's old face was red, Shanno was silent, only Ming Ziyuan smiled generously: "It is true that I came to ask Uncle Shi for help, Uncle Shi has a successful road, my Ming family is ecstatic, and the little ones below proposed to me that they especially want to listen to Uncle Shi's teachings in person." Hehe, no, I can only be cheeky to ask Uncle Shi, when you have time, can you come to Dongzong Island to do a Taoist meeting, and teach the little ones to solve their doubts. ”
"Nope. ”
Qi Xiang had a cold face, "I am in retreat, I still know about the outside things, you even refused the arrangement of the senior brother in charge to move back, then from now on Chu Qin is Chu Qin, your Ming family is the Ming family, the two have nothing to do with each other, why do you come to me?"
Rao is Ming Ziyuan was mentally prepared, but he was still embarrassed by Qi Zhengbang's refusal, and said: "Even if Chu Qin and my Ming family have no upper and lower reputations, my aunt is your personal disciple after all, for the sake of her affection, ......"
"Humph!"
He didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned Mingzhen, Qi Makeup was even more unhappy, "She has already gone to other roads, how can she talk about her relatives! Besides, when Miaoqing came to ask for guilt, you didn't think she was an aunt." Ignoring Ming Ziyuan, she looked at Liu Guang and sneered, "You also came to congratulate me?"
"Ahem. Liu Guang didn't dare to lie to her, and replied honestly: "For congratulations, but also for ...... I also hired a team to repair and deliver goods some time ago, but now there is no ...... news."
"What a mess. Qi Makeup became more and more impatient and interrupted him, "Won't you chase the stolen goods if I don't go out!? And since I started, I have never heard of such a thing happening! What are you doing!?"
"This ...... This ......"
Liu Guang was extremely aggrieved, "The open sea is vast, it is really difficult for me to take care of it alone, and you are the only elder of my Chu Qin in the open sea, if you don't care, then I will have no branches to rely on......"
“......”
How could Qi Makeup be willing to care about such a trivial matter, but Liu Guang said pitifully, she really couldn't find the words to shirk for a while, and the scene became more and more stiff.
Sha Nuo watched coldly, knowing that the Ming family was plotting against the original Longjia Island after the death of Dongzhen, this kind of beautiful thing of snake swallowing elephants, it is impossible to achieve the top combat power of Jindan without Qi makeup, Ming Ziyuan is now saying it well, please Qi Makeup to discuss a Tao, but I am afraid that there will be an ambush in the back. And although this Liu Guang is shrewd, he doesn't understand the special status of Qi makeup in Chu Qin, and he is worthy of being like the elders of other sects......
Although I also have a mission, I also came here for selfish reasons. I was hindered by the demons in my heart, and I never got to the foundation to build a consummation, not to mention the knot, my life was crushed and studied countless times, thinking about it, how could the opportunity fall on the Baishan Sword Demon in front of me, the poor man in the coffin of the scattered soul, so I passed on the small things, and I ran very actively.
"It's useless for you to find Uncle Qi, Uncle Master ordered me to pass on the message, please ask Uncle Qi to go back to Baishan immediately. ”
He stood up and bowed his hand to Qi Makeup, "If you don't go back, I'm afraid he will come to invite him personally." "Easily resolve the other party's dilemma.
"I don't know what he's doing in the shadows!"
Qi Makeup had just been successfully promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, and she was in a very good mood, but she didn't expect to encounter these as soon as she got out of the pass, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Shadow Island, "What is the original words of the senior brother in charge?"
Sha Nuo's heart moved, "Uncle Master said: Let her go back to Baishan as soon as she leaves the customs, and all of them will come back, immediately! ”
What do you mean by the words 'all back'?
After Sha Nuo finished speaking, he suddenly felt that there was a problem, these four words Qi Xiu said inexplicably, Qi Makeup just asked strangely, he was too familiar with Shadow Island, and this place was not far from Shadow Island, "Could it be that this Qi Makeup ......" He realized in his heart, "Could it be that Qi Xiu wanted the 'Secluded Land' and the Soul Scattering Coffin back then, was it for Qi Makeup? She, a person who has slept in the coffin for so many years, still wants to take away the house!? What is he guarding in the Shadow Island? Could it be that there is already a living person in the Soul Scattering Coffin now?"
He thought a little differently, Qi Xiu's heart was also fighting fiercely, going around in place a few times, and in the end, Qi Xiu's trust prevailed, "I'll leave tomorrow." Waving his hand, "You can do it yourself." ”
After saying that, she rose to the sky and disappeared.
Among the three people, only Sha Nuo achieved his goal, Liu Guang's face was full of frustration, and Ming Ziyuan was more annoyed, "So ruthless......" He was halfway through his words, only to realize that he had lost his temper in front of people, and reluctantly smiled at the other two: "My Dongzong Island is not far away, Ming is here to be a host, can the two Taoist friends appreciate their faces?"
Shano and Liu Guang were about to excuse themselves, when suddenly their hearts palpitated, but they saw a black smoke cloud rising in the distance in the sky, which was particularly conspicuous under the full moon.
The bronze bell in the sea of Shano knew that there was a 'bell' sound, and he was the first to wake up.
Ming Ziyuan, who practiced Confucian exercises, followed closely behind, and saw Liu Guang stunned in place, his face was full of fierce light, and he looked like he was going to choose someone to devour, and shook his hand to beat out the Dao Haoran Qi, which woke him up.
"It's the direction of [Oshiki Island]!"
Ming Ziyuan jumped out of the phantom array, hovered in the air, staring at the black smoke in horror, "Demonic energy! What a big demonic energy! Something must have happened to Da Xuan Island!"
"What's going on!?"
At that moment, Liu Guang seemed to have a dream, the dream of himself living in a blood-colored world, killing Yingcheng and killing Yingye was still not satisfied, the more he killed, the more hunger and thirst came from the depths of his soul, and when he woke up, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, "What about Uncle Qi!?" He was very afraid, he didn't dare to look at the magic smoke anymore, turned around and wanted to hide in the Qi Makeup Cave Mansion, but found that the door was closed and he was not allowed to enter.
"Uncle Qi may have gone to pick up something. ”
Shano glanced in the direction of Shadow Island and changed the subject, "I left the Great Burning Island when I came, and I didn't feel anything unusual?"
Da Yan Island is the island where the Yuan Ying forces are located, nominally the main home of Dongzong Island and Longjia Old Island where the Ming family is located, there is something on Da Yan Island, and Dongzong Island, which is not far away, may be difficult to be alone, "Who knows! Something is wrong in the past few days, I remember that someone complained to me yesterday that in the offshore sea, not a single fish can be seen...... "The more Ming Ziyuan thought about it, the more anxious he became, "No, I have to go back and see! Brother Sha, Brother Liu ......"
He looked at Shano and Liu Guang, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Okay, I'll go and see it. ”
Both of them are slippery, but Liu Guang was just rescued by Ming Ziyuan in front of him, and he couldn't say anything if he refused, and Shano didn't have this burden, so he pretended to groan and said, "Uncle Master is still waiting for me to return to Baishan to restore my life......"
"Okay!"
Seeing that he didn't want to help, and he didn't waste his lips and tongue, Ming Ziyuan rose up with his sword, and was about to go to Dongzong Island with Liu Guang, "Stop!" Qi Makeup quietly returned at some point, and drank the two of them, "Come with me." With a wave of her hand, she took out her sword case, and countless black iron swords flew up from all over the island, and weary birds flowed through them like nests.
"Uncle Xie!"
Ming Ziyuan was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed.
Seeing that Qi makeup was about to wrap up Ming Ziyuan and Liu Guang and fly away, Sha Nuo's mouth seemed to be disobedient, "Wait, take me with you!" blurted out this sentence.
