"Xiaoxi, what did you do when you stayed in there for an hour?" Miao Luo said with a worried face.
"I.... I didn't do anything, it was he who suddenly fainted, and he didn't wake up. Miao Xiaoxi shrugged her shoulders and said disapprerovingly.
"What? Miao Luo's brows furrowed, and he was about to turn around and enter the Ten Palaces.
"Ding Ding Dong Dong-"
At this moment, there was a sound outside the martial arts workshop, and the sound was tinkling, like countless pearls falling on the jade plate, and like music knocked on the roof tiles, which seemed to be soft and sonorous.
"Wu music?" Zhixin Crane looked up into the distance, subconsciously recognizing this music.
Witch music is a kind of tribal folk song that symbolizes good luck, and it is also a kind of witchcraft, which is rumored to be able to ward off immortal cultivators, so this kind of song is only played during major celebrations or to protect the great witches.
"Today is not the day of the great celebration, is it.... Is it a big witch travel?" Zhixin Crane said with a slight narrowing of his eyes.
"This witch music seems to be constantly approaching here, could it be that there is a great witch coming here, how can it be such a coincidence?" Miao Luoxiang stopped, surprised and stunned.
As soon as the words fell, there was a noise in the ninth hall.
Soon, the noise gradually subsided, and the surroundings became silent, and the sound of witch music continued to come from the Ninth Hall, and then, all the people in the Ninth Hall slowly retreated. On the vacated road, dozens of figures appeared, and the figures strolled by, all of them were some witches wearing mysterious charms.
Because of the lack of living materials, many people have to rely on faith to survive, and the shaman has a noble character and a relatively high status in the hearts of ordinary people, if the shaman travels, all ordinary people will give way to them.
When Miao Luo saw this battle, they all had to retreat to the side and make way for these witches.
These shamans are all heading towards the tenth temple.
The Tenth Temple?...?
Gu cheng!
"What are these witches trying to do here?" Miao Xiaoxi said in a low voice.
"These shamans are not just here for trivial matters. Zhixinhe glanced at the witch crowd and pondered: "As far as I know, there are only two kinds of witches who can travel in such a battle, namely the Great Witch and the inheritor of the Great Witch. If I'm not mistaken, this person is the inheritor of the Wuxian tribe, Wu Ting!"
"Wu Ting, it is rumored that even the children of the Wuxian tribe have never seen her, how could she come here?" Miao Luo said with a frown.
"I just want to know why she deigned to visit that nerd?" Miao Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and asked Miao Luoxiang.
"I can't figure it out either. Miao Luoxiang lowered her voice and said, "But there are so many witches guarding here, and it is not for those of us who are born in businessmen to interfere. ā
Although the Miao family is the richest man in the middle-level forces in Liancheng, it still can't change the low status of Liancheng merchants.
"Zhixinhe, help me thoroughly investigate the origin of this Gu Cheng, at all costs!" Miao Xiaoxi turned her head to look at Zhixinhe and said angrily.
"The price...?" Zhixinhe skept.
"Naturally, the remuneration will not be less than yours. ā
--------------------------
Inside the tenth hall.
Gu Cheng opened his eyes, and those eyes were no longer in a trance, but with a suspicious light.
"This is...?"
Everything here was so unfamiliar, so strange that he couldn't recognize everything around him, the only thing he remembered was.... The five-year covenant, and some fragmented memories.
And now finally... Woke up.
At this moment, a crisp and ethereal voice came from the side: "Awake....?"
Gu Cheng subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, it was a girl with an expressionless face.
She has a fair complexion, her hands and feet are full of tattoos, she is wearing tribal women's clothes made of animal skins, and she is full of witch jewelry, looking at her figure, her appearance, and her clothes, Gu Cheng vaguely thinks that this person is a person he is very familiar with, but he can't remember it, so he has no choice but to ask her.
"Are you...?" Gu Cheng said in surprise.
"Listen, that's the name you've given me. The witch girl said coldly.
Gu Cheng's head was dizzy for a while, and he cleared his thoughts, and it was not difficult to be sure that he did know this person in his impression.
"I.... I can't remember you clearly, can you tell me about yourself?" Gu Cheng said.
"I am a victim of immortal law, I was violated by immortal magic, I lost my memory, I lost my seven spirits, I have no feelings in my heart, you rescued me from the natural domain. Wu Ting still said with a blank face.
Wu Ting also added the scene where Gu Cheng rescued her at that time, as well as some things about Gu Cheng. Therefore, Gu Cheng had a superficial understanding of his experience in those five years.
Gu Cheng was surprised and pleasantly surprised by the changes in his past five years, but he didn't feel very abrupt, because these fragments of broken memories still seemed to be real things in his mind, so Gu Cheng quickly accepted these facts.
"What else have I done in the past five years?" Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know, you haven't revealed anything to me. Wu Ting shook his head, "But I've seen it with my own eyes, you single-handedly destroyed several immortal cultivator organizations with your intelligence, and you rescued me from one of the immortal cultivator organizations, and took me with you to teach me the way of cultivating immortals, and everything went smoothly until that night..."
"What happened that night?" Gu Cheng said suddenly.
"That night, you suddenly came to me, and said that you were going to kill someone, and you calculated that you would lose, and even calculated what would happen today, so on that night, you laid me as a pawn to answer you, in order to wait for the day when you woke up. ā
"What happened later!" Gu Cheng said urgently.
"At dusk the next day, you finally came back, but at that time, you were completely disabled, your spiritual organs were broken, and your cultivation fell to the second heaven of cultivation, and after waking up, you became a sluggish person. ā
Gu Cheng paused slightly, thought for a moment, and was convinced of Wu Ting's words from his vague memory.
"Then, following what you said that night, I took you to the Martial Arts Workshop, and I myself joined the Wuxian tribe in order to get a place to enter the Yueren Mountain. Wu listened.
Gu Cheng was still a little incredulous, although he never doubted his intelligence, he didn't believe that he would have such a powerful calculation ability.
"That.... What did we enter the Reading Man Mountain for?"
"You woke up in advance, your body must not be completely shaped, your cultivation can't be restrained, and the identity of an immortal cultivator is easily exposed, only by entering Yueren Mountain to practice martial arts, and reshaping your body with martial arts within half a year, can you suppress the exposure of immortal energy. ā
Gu Cheng's expression stiffened slightly. He was originally determined to become Jin Wuwei, so he knew better than many people that it was impossible to become Jin Wuwei within half a year, unless.... Take shortcuts!
"Do I have any shortcuts?"
"Back then, you were still a master of swordsmithing, and you should have left a lot of good swords. Wu Ting said after a long thought.
"Maybe I can find some good weapons, and you can help me find any weapons left. Gu Cheng's sorrow turned to joy.
Gu Cheng had a fluke mentality and wanted to find a few ready-made weapons, but the two spent a day searching the hall and courtyard, but they didn't find any weapons, but only found a carved sword fan.
The so-called sword fan, that is, the model of the sword, is made of clay, so it is also called clay fan or pottery fan, all the actual swords are made according to the sword fan.
"This sword fan is too weird!" Gu Cheng said as he looked at the sword fan carefully.
There are many carved patterns on the sword fan, and the carved lines are connected to the sword veins, and the sword veins are criss-crossed, twisted and orderly.
These sword veins are equivalent to a password. Many swordsmiths carved their swords into their swords to prevent others from taking away their work.
Obviously, the sword vein of this sword fan in Gu Cheng's hand is much more complicated, but if he doesn't crack this code, the sword cast can only be a waste sword.
If you want to crack the code, only the sword casting himself can do it.
Gu Cheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly and put down his sword fan, "I can't remember how these sword veins were cracked. ā
"If you want to crack these sword veins, there is another way. ā
"What?"
"With a large number of spirit stones, fuse every sword vein, there is no need to crack this sword vein. Wu Ting said lightly.
"A large number of spirit stones?" Gu Cheng always felt that hope was coming, "That's how much?"
"Not much. You only need to use up the spirit stones of the entire city, and it is enough. ā
"Huh. ā
-----------------
In the Miao family's mansion, in the lotus lake.
In the sky, thousands of cranes flew in and out of the golden sunset, and suddenly, a crane broke out of the flock and descended into the lotus leaves, its shield-like claws spread, flapping its wings and letting out a roar that shook the mansion.
"Uh-"
The voice resounded throughout the mansion, and it also alarmed Miao Xiaoxi, who was practicing swords.
Miao Xiaoxi put down her sword, and half a moment later, she rushed to the lotus lake and saw the Zhixin Crane standing among the lotus leaves.
"Here's the information you wanted. Zhixinhe said.
"Let's get straight to the point. Miao Xiaoxi said lightly.
"According to Gu Cheng's existing information, I used a lot of connections to find out the information of a person, this person may be Gu Cheng, but don't get your hopes up. ā
"I see, you name it. Miao Xiaoxi's eyes flickered.
Zhixinhe nodded slightly, and said: "Four years ago, a master suddenly appeared in the natural domain, because he often sat in a wheelchair, so the Daoli people called him a 'wheelchair executioner', however, no one has seen him shoot with their own eyes, let alone know whether he is an immortal cultivator or a martial arts practitioner, but I heard rumors that the hilts of many famous swords are from his hands, and even the 'Wrong Bone Crazy Knife' Xu Ziyun uses his hilt. ā
"Go on. Miao Xiaoxi frowned.
"He relied on a peerless sword, famous in the natural domain, although it is not clear how high his cultivation is, but at his peak, he killed the 'lone ranger' Zhan Le, and even offered a plan to destroy a large immortal cultivator organization such as 'refining corpses', it can be seen that he must be a peerless master, but later, I don't know who was defeated, the sword was taken away, the spiritual organs were penetrated, and he should die in the natural domain. ā
"Poof. ā
Miao Xiaoxi's brows relaxed, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Do you think that nerd is going to be him?"
"I told you not to get your hopes up. Zhixin Crane said.
"So you're using a piece of dead man's information to perfunctory me?" Miao Xiaoxi suddenly became angry.
Zhixinhe was silent and didn't say a word, it really didn't know how to respond to Miao Xiaoxi.
Miao Xiaoxi snorted, turned around and was about to leave.
"In order to get this information, I used thousands of crane nets and owed a lot of favors, no matter what, I have completed the task, if you don't keep the contract..."Zhixin Crane said in a threatening tone.
With a "ding" sound, Miao Xiaoxi casually threw a gem to the ground.
"Grab it and go. Miao Xiaoxi's face showed disgust.
Zhixinhe picked up the gem without any impatience, examined it carefully, and accepted it after half a ring.
"Farewell. "The crane fluttered its wings and flew.
Zhixinhe didn't go far, and Miao Xiaoxi's eyes fell on a big wooden pillar instead, "Aunt Yi, you heard it." ā
Miao Luoxiang slowly walked out of the wooden pillar.
Her face was very bad, she looked very pale, probably because of her illness, but she also walked calmly.
Miao Luo put on clothes that complemented the lotus pond, and stood there with a smile, "Xiaoxi's ear skills have improved again." ā
Miao Xiaoxi didn't care about this kind of appreciation, but her face became a little gloomy, "This Gu Cheng!
"Xiaoxi...."Miao Luo walked in front of Miao Xiaoxi faintly, with pity in his eyes.
"In fact, with Xiaoxi's qualifications, even if you fail this time, you will definitely be selected for Reading People Mountain in three years. ā
"Aunt Yi, there are some things you don't know. Miao Xiaoxi shook her head, "I'm going to miss the purge order in two years." ā
"Purging order?"
Miao Xiaoxi sighed, "The so-called purge order is an order to purge immortal cultivators on a large scale. Jin Wuwei will also enter the natural realm, which is an era of bloody wind and rain, but also an era of success. ā
"Is it ..... Do you want to participate in this purge order?"
"That's right, I just want to participate, if I miss this purge order, I don't know when I will have such an opportunity, and in this case, I will miss the best age to break through the middle stage of the martial artist, and I will definitely be buried at that time. ā
"However, your grandfather has already designated the quota to Gu Cheng. Miao Luo said regretfully.
"Don't mention grandpa again, if I were his own granddaughter, how could he be so ruthless to give up the quota to an outsider!" Miao Xiaoxi said anxiously and helplessly.
Miao Luoxiang bowed her head slightly, and said silently: "Xiaoxi, just exchange my quota with you, I'm seventeen years old, you are younger than me, and your qualifications are amazing to everyone..."
"But..."
"I know what you're worried about. Miao Luoxiang raised her head and smiled bitterly, "I have a way to swap identities with you, I believe that even if the people who read the mountain see through this trick, with your qualifications, they will deliberately pretend not to see through it." ā
"But Aunt Yi, if you miss this opportunity, you will be twenty years old in three years, and you will definitely miss the age of breaking through the middle stage of the martial arts..."
"It's okay, in fact, I don't like to practice martial arts since I was a child, I just hope that even if you cultivate higher in the future, you won't break the mortal dust, forget your family, and don't forget to come back to visit me. ā
"Aunt Yi!"
Miao Xiaoxi threw herself into Miao Luo's arms, her tears were like a sponge with enough water, and they would overflow when she touched it.
Miao Luo's makeup couldn't help but tears fell, dripping on Miao Xiaoxi's shoulders in strings.
Miao Luo's makeup was a little sour in her heart.
Or is it painful?
She is suffering from a serious disease, and she will not live to be twenty-five years old, if she does not break through to the middle stage of martial arts at the best age, it is impossible to break through again in this life, and it is impossible to extend her lifespan. Master Miao knew about this, so he gave the quota to Miao Luo, who had poor qualifications.
But she still chose to give up the quota to Miao Xiaoxi, the Miao family is kind to her, she is Xiaoxi's elder, she should be responsible for Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi will be the future of the family, and she is just a mortal dust.
Thinking of this, Miao Luo hugged Miao Xiaoxi tightly.
Miao Xiaoxi saw Miao Luo's makeup with a sad face, and decided that the capital of all this sin and soul disaster was Gu Cheng!
"I will definitely prove myself in Yueren Mountain and completely trample this nerd to the ground!"
