Chapter 67: Pursuit
After paying the entrance fee, Qiao Yu followed the queue of other monks who entered, crossed the formation gate, and gradually marched into the Fang City. However, not long after entering, a commotion immediately attracted his attention.
Following this noise and discussion, Qiao Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and immediately returned to normal. However, it is more cautious than before.
I saw that only a zhang away from the entrance of Fang City, at the edge of the stall area, a jade spirit tablet was erected. Two people are depicted on the stele. One of them, nearly six feet tall, with a delicate and ordinary face, was dressed in blue. It was Qiao Yu.
This jade spirit tablet is made of a special heavenly treasure called "Yinhua jade". The effect is that any spirit pattern burned on the stele can be directly rubbed with jade slips or spirit slips. Then use the spiritual sense to explore the spiritual slip under the rubbing, and you can quickly memorize all the spiritual texts in it in a short time, and the profundity is as deep as what you have seen with your own eyes.
The image of Qiao Yu depicted on the stele looks like a real person, whether it is the pupil expression or the height and figure, it is exactly the same as the real person. Under the figures, there are also several rows of spiritual inscriptions engraved.
The content is: "The thief Qiao Yu, innocently killed dozens of disciples of my Paradise Sect, the crime is heinous, and he is currently absconding in the valley of the nearby generation, and his whereabouts are unknown. Cultivation: Qi refining sevenfold, identity unknown. If someone in the know reports the news of this thief, I will reward 5,000 spirit stones from the Paradise Gate. Capture this thief and hand it over to me at the Gate of Bliss, and reward 3,000 spirit stones. Kill this thief, hand over the body to my Bliss Gate, and reward 1,000 spirit stones. ”。
This spiritual monument was erected here, and almost all the monks who passed by, whether they were loose cultivators or caravans, and even people from other factions. All of them took out the spirit and expanded the content. Obviously, the high reward order issued by the Gate of Paradise attracted the attention of countless monks.
Of course, there are by no means a few controversies caused by this.
First of all, with Qiao Yu's sevenfold Qi refining cultivation, he was able to kill dozens of Bliss Sect disciples and retreat with his whole body, which was incredible. The second is that it is just a small Qi refining cultivator, and it is really incomprehensible that it has cost such a huge amount of property to the Bliss Gate and is struggling to pursue it.
As a result, these controversies have led to multiple explanations.
Among them, the most people choose to agree is that Qiao Yu has a powerful treasure. And this is enough to explain the reason why the Gate of Paradise did not hesitate to spend such a huge amount of wealth to hunt him down, in fact, it was to seize the powerful treasure on his body.
Of course, there are also explanations that Qiao Yu actually has other powerful helpers. This explanation comes from the fact that there is another character inscribed on the spiritual tablet, and there are few spiritual notes.
This other character is a woman. Dressed in Tsing Yi, he is about 20 years old, with a beautiful face and elegant temperament. Even if it is only burned in the form of spiritual texts, it is difficult to hide its alluring temperament.
But the remarks about this strange woman only read, "Whoever discovers this person and reports the news can get a reward from my Bliss Gate, ten bottles of mid-grade spirit pills, and one hundred low-grade spirit stones." ”。
Even though the remarks are not much, the image of this woman in Tsing Yi is still recognized at a glance by many passing monks.
And after the news spread, almost all the monks in the market already knew. It turns out that the woman depicted on this spiritual monument actually often comes to this market to buy goods. More people familiar with the matter revealed that this female cultivator is above the foundation building period.
Although he didn't know his identity, he knew that his cultivation was in the foundation building period, and he was released by the Paradise Gate at the same time as Qiao Yu to track down the news of the reward. It is not difficult to see that there must be a certain correlation between the two.
With Zhuji Zhenren as a helper, it would be easy to kill dozens of disciples of the Paradise Sect. And the reason why such a huge amount of spirit stones was spent chasing was probably because another strange woman had a strange treasure on her body. In addition, the fact that Paradise did not reveal much about the woman is enough to prove this argument.
All in all, the hottest topic in the Elysium Gate Market in recent days is about the bounty order. Qiao Yu has also become a celebrity of this generation because of this. However, so far, no one has found his trace and received a reward.
When he found out that the Gate of Bliss did not hesitate to spend such a high amount of spirit stones to hunt him down. Qiao Yu couldn't help but be more cautious, after all, under such a powerful temptation, anyone around him could become an object that was unfavorable to him.
The most important thing is that Qiao Yu's current simple cross-dressing can't even hide the eyes of ordinary Zhuji real people. If a random Zhuji real person perceives his cross-dressing, and forces himself to reveal his true face, and is paired with the inscription, then he will really be unable to escape.
Looking at the crowd around you. Qiao Yu knew that the situation was unfavorable, so even if he was ready to leave temporarily, he would think of other ways. However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes turned at will, but he suddenly found that outside the crowd, there was a middle-aged woman staring at him.
The middle-aged woman was dressed plainly, and her identity was not visible. But from the fact that he can't see through the other party's cultivation, it is enough to show that this woman is a genuine foundation building real person. And she had clearly seen the problem with her appearance.
This discovery suddenly made Qiao Yu's heart sink. But in order to prevent the horse's feet from being exposed, he still forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, turned around calmly, and walked towards the exit next to the entrance.
"This little fellow Daoist. However, just a few steps away, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.
In this regard, Qiao Yu completely pretended not to have heard of it, and continued to walk slowly. But at the bottom of his heart, he was already extremely tight.
His appearance at the moment, ordinary people can never see that he is a young man. Whether it is height or appearance after disappearance, he completely looks like a middle-aged person. But the other party called himself a "little Taoist friend", which was obviously a temptation.
Therefore, Qiao Yu was fully prepared from the moment he turned around. At the time of the other party's appeal, there was hardly any stagnation under his feet.
"Fellow Daoists stay!" the woman who shouted didn't seem to give up. After calling again, his figure flashed, and he was already in front of Qiao Yu.
A casual glance at the woman in front of her. Qiao Yu found that it was indeed the woman who was looking at him.
"Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?" Qiao Yu suppressed his voice and asked in a low, majestic voice. Although his face seems indifferent, he is actually nervous and already thinking about countermeasures.
"This fellow Daoist, I see that your appearance is not your true face, why did you hide your true face and sneak here? The woman's voice gradually lowered from high to low, and finally suppressed a line, which only Qiao Yu could hear. Obviously, she was afraid that others would hear the news and compete with herself for the reward.
Just when Qiao Yu immediately fell silent, thinking about how to respond. In my mind, a flash of red light suddenly flashed. Feeling the familiar domineering aura again, Qiao Yu couldn't help but condense in his heart.
At this moment, he didn't do anything, and the mysterious red crystal, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly moved.
That invisible red light can only be seen by Qiao Yu himself. Red light emerged from his mind and instantly spread throughout his body. At the same time, the aura on Qiao Yu's body was completely hidden and suppressed to the point of almost nothingness.
seemed to notice that something was wrong, and the middle-aged woman who was blocking in front of Qiao Yu also suddenly frowned. She was a little surprised to find that Qiao Yu at this time was not only hidden and couldn't see through, but even the aura on his body was completely covered up and undetectable.
This strange situation made the woman's face slightly gloomy, and she couldn't help but think in her heart. To be able to hide oneself in this way requires not only cultivation above the foundation building period, but also special tantric methods. Could it be that the inconspicuous-looking man in front of him would be a master?
"Daoyou said with a smile, under the surname Yu, a pharmacist, often wandering here to purchase medicinal materials, how can he be the person you said? As for the hidden appearance, I think you are too worried about Daoyou. Just when the woman was full of suspicion, Qiao Yu smiled and said indifferently with a hint of cold words.
Hearing this, the woman pondered for a long time, and then suddenly changed color and smiled: "I'm sorry, it's the little woman who is suspicious and has delayed the time of the Taoist, so please do it." ”
"Farewell. Qiao Yu responded with his fists clenched, and then put his hands behind his back and walked towards the exit with a steady pace. The female woman, on the other hand, kept smiling all the time, staring at him until he disappeared into the formation, and her face gradually lowered.
Looking at the exit, the woman hesitated for a long time, thinking about something with mixed eyes, and finally seemed to have finally made up her mind and walked towards the exit. Although it is like some high-ranking people hiding their identities and making it convenient to do things, it can be said that it is the norm in the cultivation world. But under the temptation of huge profits, she still can't suppress the greed in her heart.
And it seems that the other party has long expected this to do so. After Qiao Yu left Fang City, he did not leave in a hurry, but after carefully scanning around, he found a monk dressed like a merchant and took the initiative to meet him.
"This fellow Daoist is here to sell goods, right? It just so happens that some herbs and medicines need to be purchased in large quantities, I wonder if you are interested in talking about it?" Qiao Yu approached the monk dressed as a merchant and asked with his fists clenched.
That monk cultivator Qiao Yu also couldn't see through, and he should also be in the foundation building period. When he saw Qiao Yu dressed as a businessman, but it was difficult to detect the latter's aura, he couldn't help but have some doubts.
However, the businessmen who took the initiative to talk to him about business were also common in the market, and immediately smiled and said: "What Daoyou said is exact, I am indeed here to sell heavenly and earthly treasures, of course, including medicinal materials, I don't know what kind of medicinal materials you need?"
Seeing that the other party was not aware of his cultivation and the situation of his disguise. Qiao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and said some of the refining materials he needed. As a result, when the other party heard that the amount of medicinal materials he needed was indeed quite a lot, his attitude became a little more polite.
The two of them chatted at the gate of the market. At this time, the woman happened to walk out of Fang City. When he found out about the scene in front of him, he hurriedly hid away in a little panic and began to observe Qiao Yu's every move.
However, her actions were all in the corner of her eye, Qiao Yu, who was always paying attention to the exit, and she was in full view.
"Sure enough, you still don't give up, since that's the case, then I'll play slowly with you. Qiao Yu smiled secretly in his heart.
This time, he didn't intend to go head-on with the Tsukiji nun. Although with the power of the Dragon Seal, it is enough to kill it. But the disturbance caused by it will definitely be detected by the Gate of Bliss as well. Let a sleeping dog lie. Since the power of the red crystal has covered its own breath to perfection. So it is not impossible to do something to dispel their doubts.
