Chapter 63: Dodging and Leaving (Part II)
After walking out of the elegant room, Lin Quan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. After thinking about it for a while, he went straight back to his cave.
Hongyan still sat quietly. Until now, she still can't believe that after she went out in person and promised the Ruan family's sincerity, there would still be a loose cultivator who rejected her in disguise. When I thought of Lin Quan's excuse at the end, this red face who was extremely smart on weekdays, loved by the ancestors of the Ruan family, and had always been smooth sailing, couldn't help but feel a little angry.
She gritted her silver teeth and thought: "Okay, Du Bo, if it weren't for the fact that you once helped me, I wouldn't have tried my best to invite you." Originally, I wanted to give you a better future, but you didn't appreciate the kindness of this girl. Hum!
"Miss, this person is so ignorant, do you want to be a subordinate ......?" At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from the empty private room.
A secret door suddenly came from an inconspicuous corner, and Fu Lao and the shopkeeper walked out one after the other. It was the king's shopkeeper who made the cold voice, and if he only listened to the voice, no one could connect him with the kind king's treasurer.
"Not at the moment. After Hongyan finished speaking, he looked at the gray-robed old man. "Fu Lao, what do you think?"
"Miss, according to the old man's opinion, we can wait for three months. After all, talent is rare, and we also have plenty of time to confirm his identity and origin. The gray-robed old man, Fu Lao, stroked his long beard lightly and laughed loudly.
"Oh......" Hongyan's eyes moved slightly, she didn't expect that Fu Lao would value a small casual cultivation so much.
"Does Elder Fu really think so highly of this person? Judging from the following, he is just an ordinary casual cultivator, so with the power of our Ruan family, why should he be like this?"
"Not bad. Shopkeeper Wang's question is very good!" Fu Lao nodded lightly: "Although his current achievements are nothing at all in our Ruan family, if you combine his age with the analysis of the talisman making situation in the past year, this son is definitely a rare talent in talisman making." Especially since he seems to be about to break through to the seventh layer of condensation, if we Ruan family give him a little cultivation, he will definitely be able to break through to the Great Condensation in the shortest possible time. At that time, it shouldn't be a problem to refine a large number of top-level runes with his ability. ”
"Lots of top-grade sigils!...... What about that?" Hong Yan was startled at first, and then asked with some hesitation: "With the Zhongpin Qi Condensing Pill, there is a great possibility that he will succeed in this retreat. It's just that even if he can really break through to the Great Condensation of Qi in time, he may not be able to refine a large number of top-level runes. ”
"Miss don't worry. Judging from the few big fireball talisman seals he refined, his talent in talisman making was slightly inferior even to the old man back then. If he can truly return to our Ruan family, then the old man can personally guide him for a while. I think that with him on board, the old man promises to prepare enough fire-based top-level sigils before that happens. In this way, the old man can also free up his hands to refine a few special talismans for the young lady to spare. Fu Lao's eyes were full of confidence.
"Really? This makes me more confident to go there and break through! Hongyan suddenly stood up excitedly.
"Miss is so polite. This is what an old man should do. ”
"Good! great!"
Since discovering a secret of that place, their entire family has been secretly plotting for hundreds of years. It is only recently that a practical approach has been developed. When she thought of the benefits she could get, the woman was also a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said, "Since this is the case, I must also do the things that the ancestor explained earlier." Fu Lao, the king's shopkeeper, I will bother you to worry a lot about this matter. ”
"Yes, miss, don't worry. Fu Lao and the shopkeeper Wang bowed their hands at the same time.
"Okay! The order goes on, from today onwards, all monks who want to leave Lingquanfang City, as long as they have cultivated the Aoki Jue to reach the sixth or seventh layer of condensation, must take a closer look. As for the master of Fang City, Lingquan Daoist, I will personally go to take care of it. For the sake of family affairs, Hongyan couldn't care about Lin Quan's help at this time.
"Yes, Miss. The subordinates immediately went to do it. I think that before the eldest lady comes back, that Du Daoyou will definitely stay in Fang City and wait for you honestly. The shopkeeper said with a dark smile.
"Wait!" Fu Lao suddenly waved his hand to stop the shopkeeper Wang: "Judging from the spiritual power in those five big fireball talismans, that Du boy's fire system cultivation must not be bad, so the scope of the investigation must be added to the fifth to seventh layers of the "Flame Formula" to be safe." ”
"I see, Fu Lao Gaoming!"
..................
From this day on, the only entrance and exit of Lingquanfang City was guarded by four or five strange monks from the seventh layer of condensation every day. The strange thing is that these strange monks guarding the entrance and exit never give a second glance to the monks who enter the market, but once a monk wants to leave the market, they will unceremoniously use the spiritual eye to take a closer look. Once they found a cultivator from the fifth to seventh layers of Qi Condensation who cultivated the Aoki Jue and the Flame Jue, they would go forward and carefully interrogate and interrogate them, until they were sure that the person had not changed his face or used some secret method to hide his true appearance.
This kind of impolite behavior that has never been seen before naturally made many monks puzzled and puzzled, especially those who had cultivated the fire and wood exercises. Anyone who is so repeated will want to turn his face after being interrogated twice. It's just that whenever this happens, one of the strange monks will always come forward and show a special little jade plaque. After seeing this little jade plaque, even the most bad-tempered monk would immediately shut up and obediently accept the examination.
All the monks knew that that special little jade plaque was the representative of the Lingquanfang City Law Enforcement Team, and they were directly under the command of the master of Lingquanfang City, the 'Lingquan Dao Chief'. Since the seniors of the condensate period were involved in this matter, everyone had to pinch their noses and admit it. In any case, these law enforcement monks will not harm anyone's interests except for the check. After a long time, all the casual cultivators who entered and exited Lingquanfang City didn't know what was going on, but they were all surprised.
Such a strange event naturally spread throughout Lingquanfang City as early as the first day of its occurrence, and Lin Quan naturally would not be unaware. But he just pouted and dismissed it.
The next day, Lin Quan went to Lingquan Yaju. I took the initiative to pay the rent of the cave house for the next six months, and I made it look like I wanted to live here for a long time with peace of mind. As for the reason, he was going to retreat and practice in the following days, and he didn't want to be disturbed in any way.
On the third day, Lin Quan quietly transformed into a monk wearing a black robe and a hat on his head, and his face was completely unclear. This person frequently goes in and out of various stores, and buys a lot of good things that he has always wanted to buy but is afraid to show up. As for this kind of clothing that hides their whereabouts, they are all left behind by the Soul Eater Daoist, anyway, this kind of monk who is unwilling to reveal his true face is very common in the major markets, and Lin Quan is not worried.
On the fourth day, Lin Quan closed the gate of the cave and directly began to retreat.
One day a month later, a masked monk in a black robe and a black scarf walked briskly towards the exit of Fang City. When he saw that a monk was about to leave Fang City, the five seventh-layer Qi Condensation Layer monks guarding the exit aimed at him with his spiritual eye technique at the same time. The masked monk also seemed to have known about this strange rule in Fang City recently, and he directly released his spiritual power without saying a word. I saw a faint yellow-brown aura flashing, and the cultivation of the seventh layer of condensation qi was fully revealed.
After seeing that the person who came was a late-stage monk who had cultivated the Thick Earth Technique to the seventh layer, these law enforcement monks guarding the exit immediately revoked the Spirit Eye Technique, nodded and let it go directly. As they had guessed before, as long as the person who went out was not cultivating the fire and wood exercises, these guards would never check the appearance of the person who came.
After the black-robed masked monk drifted away, he never returned to Lingquanfang City, and he has not been seen since.
..................
Since the masked man left for more than a month, almost every day or two someone would go to the cave in Linquan to investigate, but they were destined to eat a closed fast. After another half a month, there was a pair of eyes silently staring in front of Lin Quan's cave mansion day and night. But there was still no movement.
More than four months later, Hongyan returned smoothly after completing the mission. When she learned that Lin Quan's cave mansion had been closed since it started four months ago and was still closed, she was stunned.
Another day passed, and a steward of Lingquanfang City suddenly came to Linquan's cave house with Hongyan. He first sent a transmission note to the cave, and after waiting for a long time, he finally saw any reaction from inside. In the end, under the urging of Hongyan, the steward had no choice but to use the remaining spare magic weapon to break the ban outside the cave, and then Hongyan found that the cave was already empty, and there was nothing but some scattered discarded rune paper and thick dust.
