Chapter 54: Espionage.

"In Xiaqing Xuliu Ziqing, I asked to see Xu Daoyou, but can I see it?"

Hearing the sound from outside the door, Xu Qingfan woke up from his meditation and slowly opened his eyes, but a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes

"Liu Ziqing, that Liu Ziqing, who is faintly controlling the Qingxu Gate, although I have always been curious about him, but it is too early to meet him without any preparation?"

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Qingfan still got up from the bed immediately after the soft voice fell, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.

Although judging from the information Xu Qingfan obtained, this Liu Ziqing is definitely not a simple person, and the changes in Qingxumen over the years have been faintly manipulated by him, so there is no perfect preparation Xu Qingfan is not sure to see him without leaving a flaw, but since Liu Ziqing came to see him in person, Xu Qingfan can't be gone.

Recommend the door, but see a man in white waiting quietly outside the door, only to see that the man in white is about thirty years old, handsome and handsome, the expression is quiet, the eyes are deep like the sea, but a purple folding fan in his hand is constantly playing, open and close, with a peculiar melody, the whole person with a kind of bohemian but calm, literary but restrained taste, people will not help but feel good after seeing it.

Xu Qingfan knew that the man in white in front of him should be Liu Ziqing. In terms of style alone, this Liu Ziqing is only under Zhang Xusheng that Xu Qingfan has seen before. It turned out that it was Senior Liu who came and was honored. ”

Xu Qingfan looked at Liu Ziqing for a moment, and then hurriedly said.

And when Xu Qingfan was looking at Liu Ziqing, this Liu Ziqing was also constantly looking at Xu Qingfan. At the same time, the originally calm eyes kept fluctuating, as if the mind was fluctuating, but in the blink of an eye, it regained its calm. He smiled and said to Xu Qingfan: "I dare not be ashamed of the title of senior. Xu Daoyou, as a casual cultivator, doesn't have to care about my seniority. What's more, Zai Xia was accepted as a closed disciple by the Zizhen Immortal four hundred years ago. If you talk about the time to cultivate immortals, it is not much more than Xu Daoyou, so it is better for you and me to be commensurate with each other. ”

Hearing Liu Ziqing say this, Xu Qingfan was secretly shocked in his heart, but he never thought that this Liu Ziqing was actually a closed disciple of the Zizhen Immortal, which was not mentioned either in the information of Jiuhuamen or from Zhang Daiguan. You must know that although the Purple True Immortal said that the disciples were full of emptiness. But the vast majority of them are registered disciples. But there was not a single disciple who entered the room. As for the personal disciples, as far as Xu Qingfan knows, there is only Qing Lingzi. And the words "closed disciples". Except that this is the last disciple of the Purple True Immortal. It also proves that this Liu Ziqing is a personal disciple of the Zizhen Immortal.

However, according to Xu Qingfan's judgment, there was no doubt that Qing Lingzi was detained, and it was also very likely that the Purple True Immortal was trapped and unable to leave the cave where he was in retreat. Otherwise, there will be no delay. And the Liu Ziqing in front of him has played an extremely important role from beginning to end.

So, what is the reason why this Liu Ziqing has spent so much effort to detain or trap his senior brother and master? You know, this will not do him any good at all.

This kind of thought just flashed in Xu Qingfan's heart, but Xu Qingfan didn't show the slightest difference on his face, just smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

said. Xu Qingfan hurriedly turned sideways and asked Liu Ziqing to enter the house and take a seat.

When Liu Ziqing was the first to enter the house. Xu Qingfan followed behind Liu Ziqing, with a dignified look in his eyes.

Xu Qingfan knows. The moment he accepted Xuan Lingzi's invitation, he was like walking a tightrope, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed, for the "Qingxumen", as long as he could keep his reputation, there was no need to hesitate to sacrifice him as an unknown cultivator. And Xu Qingfan's sudden disappearance of such a loose cultivator will not cause any waves in the entire immortal cultivation world.

The problem now is that Xu Qingfan came to the "Qingxumen" this time, and he didn't show any horses, so the people in the "Qingxumen" were just suspicious of him, so the people in the "Qingxumen" couldn't figure out Xu Qingfan's details, and they didn't know if there was someone behind Xu Qingfan's instigation, so it was not good to act rashly. But once Xu Qingfan shows his feet, then he thinks that there will be a large number of people from the Qingxu Gate to round up Xu Qingfan, and then Xu Qingfan will really have no way to go to heaven and no way to go down.

And this Liu Ziqing, according to the words of Dai Guan Zhang Pei before, is the first person in the "Qingxumen" strategy, although these words may be exaggerated, but this Liu Ziqing's visit is undoubtedly the most severe test for Xu Qingfan to come to the "Qingxumen", although Xu Qingfan has been prepared for this kind of test, but he did not expect this test to come so quickly.

"From now on, I have to imagine myself as a casual cultivator who has never seen the world, and I must not show any of my feet. “

Xu Qingfan thought secretly.

Between Xu Qingfan's secret thoughts, Liu Ziqing had already come to the guest room and sat down first, and Xu Qingfan was also busy putting away his feelings, with a calm smile on his face, and slowly sat opposite Liu Ziqing.

But after seeing Xu Qingfan sit down, Liu Ziqing spoke first: "I heard Senior Brother Xuan Lingzi say that he met a master of loose cultivation in the Qingxu sermon this time, which is so strange that it is rare in the immortal cultivation world, so he was curious, so he couldn't help but rush to visit, Xu Daoyou won't blame him for being presumptuous, right?"

Xu Qingfan said with a smile: "How could it be? I have been in retreat in the Southern Wilderness for many years, and at this time, I have just entered the world of cultivating immortals, and I want to make more friends, Liu Daoyou took the initiative to find it, and it was too late to be happy." ”

Liu Ziqing seemed to be very happy when he heard Xu Qingfan say this, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he couldn't stop playing with the purple folding fan in his hand, but after a while, he suddenly asked: "When I came just now, I happened to meet the two juniors of Dai Guan and Zhang Pei, and I heard them say that Xu Daoyou seems to be very interested in Zaixia? ”

"It turns out that he was the one who instructed Zhang Pei to reveal the secrets before? No wonder, this is indeed the easiest way for me to show my feet, but ordinary people don't dare to use it lightly. Presumably, the previous spying has increased my suspicions, and this Liu Ziqing is here to make sure for the last time, right? It seems that I need to deal with it more carefully. Xu Qingfan thought secretly in his heart.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Qingfan's face was silent. He didn't deny it, but replied: "Indeed, when I was preaching in Qingxu before. When I heard those monk friends talk about Qingxumen, they all talked about how the two predecessors of Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi were, but rarely mentioned Liu Daoyou, but when I listened to the introduction of the two Taoist friends of Zhang Daiguan, they respected Liu Daoyou very much, and the evaluation was almost not below the two predecessors of Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi, so I couldn't help but be a little curious in my heart, and asked Liu Daoyou not to blame. ”

Xu Qingfan knew that he had two biggest flaws before.

First, during the "Qingxu Preaching", he suddenly took the liberty to mention the matter of the Zizhen Immortal to Xuan Lingzi, although he made up a lot of lies. But it is impossible to verify. And this kind of unverifiable statement is the most likely to arouse suspicion from others. What's more, Xu Qingfan clearly said that he wanted to thank the Zizhen Immortals, but after learning that the Zizhen Immortals couldn't come out of retreat. never mentioned this matter again, and according to human nature, Xu Qingfan should ask Xuan Lingzi to thank him on his behalf. However, Xu Qingfan was full of thoughts about Xuan Lingzi's thoughts at that time, but he ignored this, and now that he thinks about it, he regrets it.

The second flaw is that he was liquidated by Liu not long ago, under Zhang Pei's deliberate mouth. He was much more interested in those secrets than the monks who were just ordinary guests. It always gives people a feeling of ulterior motives.

So Xu Qingfan talked to Liu Ziqing this time. In addition to dealing with Liu Ziqing's successive spying and not revealing flaws, it is also necessary to make up for the previous two flaws without leaving a trace. For Xu Qingfan, who is not good at scheming, his difficulties and hard work are no less than breaking through to the Shidan period.

And just now, Xu Qingfan attributed his second flaw to curiosity, although it doesn't seem to have much credibility, but at least it is an explanation, which can make Xu Qingfan's suspicions at this time a little less.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Liu Ziqing chuckled lightly, kept shaking the folding fan, the expression on his face did not show any disbelief, but there was no trace of doubt, he just said: "I see, but it's just rumors in the door, the two senior brothers of Xuan Lingzi and Huan Lingzi have already reached the realm of the Jindan stage when I cultivated immortals, and now the strength will only be higher, and I have barely reached the realm of the late stage of Shidan so far, where can I compare with those two?"

Xu Qingfan said with a smile: "How could it be? Liu Daoyou's demeanor is really only seen in his life, and he is really the best person in the world." As for cultivating immortals, Liu Daoyou has only been cultivating immortals for a short time after all, and it won't take long for him to reach the Jindan stage. Besides, if Senior Brother Liu's cultivation in the later stage of the Shidan is so inferior, then how should he deal with himself in the middle stage of the Void Dan?"

Liu Ziqing shook his head solemnly, and said in a slow voice: "If you talk about style, I have seen someone who is better than me a long time ago." ”

Hearing Liu Ziqing's words, Xu Qingfan suddenly flashed the image of Zhang Xusheng in his heart for some reason, but he knew that with Liu Ziqing's identity, he would not know Zhang Xusheng at all, and at the same time showed a curious look on his face, and asked: "Oh? There are also people who are better than Liu Daoyou in style?" But I don't know what kind of person it is, can Liu Daoyou tell me, or let me have a chance to see it." ”

Liu Ziqing's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Since the day I said goodbye, I haven't seen that old man for many years. ”

Xu Qingfan also sighed regretfully.

But when he heard Liu Ziqing suddenly remember something, he asked, "By the way, I've been feeling strange since just now, Xu Daoyou has been cultivating in the Southern Wilderness before?"

Xu Qingfan's heart condensed slightly, and he nodded yes. Then he asked: "Indeed, I have been cultivating immortals in the Southern Wilderness for a hundred years before I went down, and there was no breakthrough under the successive retreats, so I decided to go down the mountain to travel, but I don't know if Liu Daoyou feels strange there?"

Liu Ziqing looked at Xu Qingfan and smiled, then looked indifferent, frowned and asked softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, what is strange in the next is that since Xu Daoyou is a casual cultivator, and he has been in retreat alone for more than a hundred years, judging from the experience of casual cultivation before Xia, this kind of casual cultivation should often be not good at talking when he first enters the immortal cultivation world, but when I look at Xu Daoyou, he is skilled in speech and good at talking, which is very different from what I knew before Xia." ”

said. Liu Ziqing seemed to be extremely interested in the folding fan in his hand, lowered his head and kept playing, and did not look at Xu Qingfan again. But Xu Qingfan could clearly feel that although Liu Ziqing in front of him seemed casual at this time, he was observing him all the time, or just the corner of his eye, but he was as sharp as a sword!!

Hearing Liu Ziqing's question, although Xu Qingfan's face was still flat, his heart was shocked, but he found another flaw in himself from Liu Ziqing's words, that is, he was too good at talking from beginning to end. It is very different from the kind of retreat that comes down the mountain for the first time.

Xu Qingfan never thought of this. Thinking about it at the moment, this flaw is so obvious.

At the same time, I secretly complained in my heart. Xu Qingfan laughed and smiled at Liu Ziqing: "This is not surprising, my master and I were both from a scholarly family before cultivating immortals. Therefore, in addition to cultivating immortals, he often debates some issues of scripture and righteousness, so although cultivating immortals is boring, his eloquence has not degraded. Later, the master immortal died, and he was alone in the southern wilderness for more than 100 years, but he was lonely and lonely but he longed to get along with people, and after going down the mountain, he couldn't find any trace of cultivating immortals. I simply stayed in a small town in the mortal world for half a year. So talking to someone now doesn't stutter. ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingfan secretly touched a cold sweat in his heart. Although Liu Ziqing's question just now was simple, it pointed directly to Xu Qingfan's flaws, but fortunately, Xu Qingfan was still a little anxious, and he had no choice but to lie again to fill the loopholes. Of course, this lie is the kind that cannot be proven.

"It seems that I am still inexperienced, I was not born to be a spy, and I didn't know that I had leaked such an obvious flaw. Xu Qingfan secretly thought: "And in the future, even when I am spied on, I can't say much about lies, not to mention that I am not good at lying, and more importantly, the more lies there are, the more flaws there are." ”

But seeing that Liu Ziqing's face showed a look of interest, he asked softly: "Oh? Xu Daoyou has also traveled in the mortal world for half a year? Hey, since he was accepted by the Zizhen Immortal as a closed disciple, he has been cultivating in Ronghua Mountain, but he has already forgotten what the mortal world looks like, can Xu Daoyou explain it to you?"

Xu Qingfan smiled slightly, and began to tell Liu Ziqing about the scene in the mortal world at this time, fortunately, Xu Qingfan had seen some scenes in the mortal world before, otherwise he really couldn't answer Liu Ziqing's question.

But after Liu Ziqing heard Xu Qingfan explain the general trend of the mortal world at this time, he sighed slightly, showing a trace of pity on his face, and then asked Xu Qingfan some detailed questions, which he couldn't notice if he hadn't lived in the mortal world, and Xu Qingfan read more poetry and books in his spare time, and there were also some descriptions of the war in the mortal world, and whether in history or reality, the mortal scenes during the war were average, so Xu Qingfan also picked up some pairs of Liu Ziqing's answers.

After Xu Qingfan finally dealt with this wave of problems, he saw Liu Ziqing suddenly smile, and then said: "These topics are too heavy, let's discuss some more relaxed topics." ”

"Oh, what's the topic?" Xu Qingfan was secretly wary in his heart, but his face showed curiosity.

But I heard Liu Ziqing smile and said: "I also have a lot of research on the scriptures and meanings, how about you and I debate some scriptures and meanings this time?"

Xu Qingfan said with a smile: "Liu Daoyou, please ask the question." ”

Then, Xu Qingfan and Liu Ziqing began to debate the topic of Jingyi again, and in the end, no one could convince anyone, Liu Ziqing asked Xu Qingfan some things about the Southern Wilderness, Xu Qingfan claimed to be a loose cultivator in the Southern Wilderness, and he had expected this for a long time, and after hearing Liu Ziqing's questioning, he told Liu Ziqing about the Southern Wilderness one by one.

Just as the two were talking about sexuality, they heard Liu Ziqing suddenly ask: "By the way, there is a question I have always wanted to ask Xu Daoyou, Xu Daoyou's cave mansion is in the Southern Wilderness, and the Ascetic Valley is also close to the Southern Wilderness, the Ascetic Valley has been recruiting monks from all over the world who have cultivated to be successful, why didn't he invite Daoyou?" Hearing Liu Ziqing's words, Xu Qingfan smiled: "It is probably because since the ancestor to me, I rarely go out of the cave." ”

Liu Ziqing gently closed the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "I see." ”

Then, the two talked about some other topics, and seeing that it was not too early, Liu Ziqing got up and said goodbye.

Xu Qingfan got up to send him off, and after sending Liu Ziqing to the door, Xu Qingfan seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly said to Liu Ziqing: "I remember that Liu Daoyou said just now that you are a closed disciple of the Zizhen Immortal, so now I ask Liu Daoyou for something, I don't know if Liu Daoyou can agree?"

Liu Ziqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You and I are like each other at first sight, what do you ask for or not, please say something." ”

Xu Qingfan showed a look of hesitation on his face, and only after a moment did he say slowly: "That's the case, I thought I already knew it before I came to Liu Daoyou, right? So can Liu Daoyou thank the Zizhen Immortal on his behalf?"

After a pause, Xu Qingfan said again: "I mentioned this matter to the Xuan Lingzi seniors before, but because my request to see the Zizhen Immortal was too abrupt, the Xuan Lingzi seniors didn't say anything more about this matter, and I naturally didn't dare to mention it again." But this is one of the master's wills, so I can only ask Liu Daoyou. ”

Liu Ziqing's face showed a sudden look, and then smiled.

As the door slowly closed, whether it was Xu Qingfan at the door or Liu Ziqing outside the room, the originally relaxed smile on his face was gone, and turned into a solemn and contemplative color.

I saw Xu Qingfan turn around and slowly walk to the bed, then sit cross-legged on the bed again, frowning and thinking secretly after half a meal: "I didn't show any flaws in the conversation with Liu Ziqing just now. I even managed to make up for the previous two flaws, and now Qingxumen's suspicion of me should be reduced a lot, right? But as long as this kind of thing appears, it will be difficult to eliminate it, so I should be careful in the future. ”

Then, Xu Qingfan thought again: "But that Liu Ziqing is really powerful, not only is his eyes sharp, but the two flaws in his speech and demeanor and penance cultivation valley are all things I never thought of before, but they were all revealed by him." What's even more powerful is that he was not confused by my words at all, but he can always attack from the details, if it weren't for the fact that I know more about the wars and chaos in the world, read more scriptures and righteousness, and grew up in the Southern Wilderness since I was a child, I would have to show my feet when I talked about it just now. Although the words just now can deceive others, if it can be said that Liu Ziqing's suspicion can be dispelled, it is impossible to make a decision, and it seems that Liu Ziqing will have to be very careful in the future. ”

But Xu Qingfan didn't know that when he was secretly guessing Liu Ziqing, Liu Ziqing's face also showed a relaxed look, as if the person who was spying on the ghost in his heart just now was not Xu Qingfan, but him.

saw Liu Ziqing after the door was closed, he first let out a soft breath, and then his eyes showed a strong killing intent. But this trace of killing intent was only fleeting, and was replaced by the color of contemplation.

"The slightest fluctuation on Xu Fan's body, although there is a lack of three points of evil, but it will never be wrong, this Xu Fan is that person's subordinate. Could it be that my detention of Qing Lingzi made him see some clues about my identity, so he sent someone to spy on me? I have been acting so low-key all these years, but he still sees a flaw?"

Thinking of this, Liu Ziqing's face showed a hint of panic.

After calming down, Liu Ziqing muttered again: "No matter what, this Xu Fan must not move now." Otherwise, it will only cause more trouble. It seems that the only way to dispel the doubts in the hearts of others is to go first. But this little guy Xu Fan is not bad, although the explanation at the last moment is a little redundant, but this spy did not show the slightest flaw, and also made up for all the previous flaws, it seems that there are really more and more talents under him, and I have to step up. ”

Then, Liu Ziqing sighed slightly, and then turned around and flew towards the "Qingxu Palace" on the top of the "Ronghua Mountain".
