9-367 Sincerity and candor are also a skill
The old slave kept sweeping down the bluestone steps first, as if he was afraid that Chu Hongzi would be worried, and he was still nagging and whispering explanations. From his words, Li Hong heard that it turned out that the Ten Kings of Purgatory had been running this place for thousands of years, and long before the Yandao Demon Lord took over here, the ten of them had already become brothers of life and death and broke into the hall. Later, Yan Dao became the sect master of the Demon Sect and subdued the Ten Kings of Purgatory, and this place became the hidden hall of the Demon Sect. After thousands of years of operation, it is conceivable that the scale of this underground is definitely not small.
The old slave was still chattering, Chu Xiong listened to it with relish, but Li Hong thought deeply, if this old slave hadn't been instructed by the Ten Kings of Purgatory, he would never dare to tell himself these secrets.
In fact, before this, Li Hong also thought about whether it was reckless to come this time, after all, the Ten Kings of Purgatory have read countless people, and they know one and two, if they know that the Immortal Sect has decided to fight with the Demon Sect, maybe they will have a vicious fight with themselves first, and then turn around and inform the old demon, so that it will ruin the big thing of Xuanxuzi.
This worry disappeared after seeing the old slave's attitude and hearing the old slave's chatter, looking at the situation, sure enough, the Ten Kings of Purgatory had gone farther and farther away from the Yandao Demon Lord, and now maybe as long as the last fire, they would part ways. Li Hong immediately knew that he had at least a fifty percent chance of winning here.
Thinking like this, Li Hong's heart completely relaxed, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. Looking at the old slave who led the way, his heart moved, and he asked with a pleasant face: "Old man, I'm afraid you have been with the princes for many years, right?"
"Yes, I think back then, when the old slave was a child, he was the scholar of Prince Qin Guang, but unfortunately the old slave's qualifications were limited, if it weren't for the fact that Prince Qin Guang valued the old slave, he spent a lot of effort to find a lot of elixirs to wash the scriptures and cut the marrow for the old slave, and the old slave didn't know where his bones were at this time!" Thinking of the past years, the hunched old slave was very radiant, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and his face was deeply wrinkled in the dry flesh.
Only then did Li Hong know that the old man in front of him was at least a thousand years old and was Qin Guang's confidant. However, his cultivation is really not high, although it is the early stage of the Yuan Infant, but the realm is very unstable, and the meridians are full of mixed medicinal powers, obviously Qin Guang has pulled him to this point.
With a roll of his eyes, Li Hong threw over a small jade bottle, "Old man, this is for you." Qiankun Zhengqi Pill, a prefecture-level one-product, specializes in medicinal power for natal cultivation, at least it can allow you to stabilize your cultivation in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and your longevity will increase greatly. ”
The old slave took the letter suspiciously, carefully uncorked the bottle and sniffed it, this smell immediately felt good, the fragrant pill qi went straight into the heart, and the impure yin power in the dantian immediately calmed down. My heart suddenly rejoiced. But thinking of the saying that there has always been a clash between the spirit pill of the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect's exercises, the old slave can't help but look down on this Qiankun Righteous Qi Pill. Although he thanked him and accepted it, his expression clearly did not believe in the miraculous effect that Li Hong said.
Li Hong didn't say anything.
As he spoke, the bluestone steps had reached the end.
There is a short arched corridor in front of you, about ten steps or so, and ten steps away, there is actually a huge underground garden.
Looking through the archway, the garden is like the ground, the flowers and trees are sparse, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and you can't see the edge at a glance, from time to time there is the chirping of birds, and there are faint red walls and green tiles among the green leaves.
The Ten Kings Brothers of Purgatory were standing at the entrance of the garden, Qin Guang took the lead, put on a posture of greeting guests with a smile, strode towards Li Hong, and arched his hand: "The head of Chu Hongzi is here, and it is an honor to despise the brothers!"
Turning his face to the old slave, he shouted: "You old slave really don't know the goods! Qiankun Zhengqi Dan is a first-class product at the ground level, neutralizing medicinal power, Kuang Fu Xin Miao, it is a treasure in the cultivation world! You take it, and your cultivation is stable in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, at least it has increased your lifespan by a thousand years! I don't want to thank Chu Hongzi for being in charge!"
The old slave finally believed it, was overjoyed, and was deeply defeated at Li Hong, "Thank you, master!"
"Hehe, Chu Hongzi, Chu Xiongzi, please!" Qin Guang stretched out his hand, smiling and acting very friendly, but he still took a deep look at the shrunken sky candle and the black abyss above the two of them, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Everyone walked along the path towards the depths of the garden, Li Hong looked at the flowers and trees around him, the more he looked at it, the more strange he became, he couldn't help but reach out and pull a branch, and was suddenly surprised, it turned out that these were not real flowers and trees, they were made of various colors of silk and satin iron branches, and they were actually vivid, and they were real.
Qin Guang said with a smile: "There is not enough light underground, how can any flowers and plants grow! Our brother likes gardens again, so he built such a fake garden to play with himself, which made the two of them laugh." ”
The chit-chatter of the group did not mention the intention of Li Hong and Chuxiong, and slowly paced towards the depths of the garden step by step. Turning a rockery, I suddenly heard the murmuring of the water, and the flowers and trees were cheerful here. I saw a small clear water pond embedded in the center of the clean bluestone slab like a mirror, and a gorgeous water pavilion open on all sides was volleyed in the middle of the pond.
In the water pavilion, the old slave had already taken the first step and was leading people to set up the table. It's instantaneous.
The figures of the people flashed, flew over the water, and landed in the water pavilion.
The wide rectangular gorgeous green jade case, the crystal clear precious white jade pier next to it, and the delicacies of the golden cup and jade cup are listed.
Qin Guang invited Li Hong and Chuxiong to sit on their right hand, and they sat on the main seat, and the brothers accompanied each other with their left hands.
Li Hong smiled slightly, and was not polite, pulling Chu Xiong to sit down.
Until now, Li Hong has not felt the murderous aura of the ten people, and Li Hong will grasp the rise of another 10%, so far it is 60%.
Qin Guang said with a smile: "The mountain residence is simple, there are no good things to entertain the two, a little wine, not a respect." ”
After that, he motioned to the old slave to pour wine for Li Hong Chuxiong.
The dark blue wine bubbled into the large white jade cup in front of him, and there was actually a little fluorescent light, as if there were countless small insects swimming in the white jade cup.
Li Hong said in his heart, the temptation is coming!
The Ten Kings of Purgatory all raised the white jade cup in front of them, but their eyes looked at Li Hong and Chuxiong fixedly, Qin Guang smiled playfully, but Yan Luo seemed to sneer slightly, and the rest of the people did not move at all, but they just didn't drink a sip, and raised the cup on their chests to look at Li Hong Chuxiong.
Li Hong smiled and said, "Respect everyone!" Without saying a word, he tilted his neck into his mouth, blinking and drinking dry.
Chu Xiong was the same, his expression was calm, as if he didn't see the strangeness of the wine in the cup, he also poured it into his throat, swallowed it with a grunt, and wiped his mouth very casually after drinking.
Qin Guang and the ten of them immediately exchanged glances, and they also wiped out the strange dark blue wine with a glow of fireflies in the cup one after another.
Li Hong drank it dry in one gulp, but felt an incomparably spicy and cold cold line straight into his heart, and in the blink of an eye, the whole stomach was warm and melting, and it was indescribably pleasant, and it was actually a fine wine similar to immortal drunk for monks.
"It's full again!" Qin Guang gave an order, and the old slave immediately came over and poured wine again for Li Hong Chuxiong. After doing it three times in a row, Li Hong Chuxiong's face remained unchanged.
Yan Luo seemed to be unable to help it, and suddenly jumped up and said: "Head of Chu Hongzi, you have cultivated to ...... in forty years" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, because he found that he couldn't see through Li Hong's cultivation at the moment.
It seems to be the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and it seems to be the period of merger, high and low, Yama Luo found that he couldn't judge accurately, and his heart suddenly chuckled, thinking that he hadn't seen him for seven years, and this kid's skills had improved greatly, and it was really shocking to be so fast, no wonder he was so big. Yan Luo's eyes rolled, and he didn't mention the cultivation stage, and continued: "Presumably, the head of Chu Hongzi must have the ability to reach the sky, and he is willing to go-" He suddenly turned his face, pointed at Chu Xiong and said, "Ask your junior brother Chu Xiongzi for a lesson or two!"
Li Hong almost laughed in his stomach, Yan Luo obviously wanted to compete with himself, but unexpectedly, because he couldn't see through his own cultivation and was afraid, he forcibly changed it to ask Chu Xiongzi for advice, which is better, how did he know that Chu Xiongzi's "Three Times Six Crossing Wanyuan Gong" has been cultivated to the sixth layer, and the cultivation of Yuan Ying in the later period is extremely condensed. The power of that strange technique is incomparable, even he has to be afraid of three points, and Yama is asking for hardship when he looks for him!
Chu Xiong was picking up a big bear's paw from the gold plate in front of him and gnawing on it with juice, hearing what Yan Luo said, he put down the bear's paw, casually rubbed the big hand of the pu fan on the robe on his body, and immediately stood up, the bones of his body crackled, and in an instant, he rose three feet higher, and the top of his head had already touched the beam.
But when he saw that his eyes suddenly burst out with golden light, he shouted: "Okay! I'll fight you!"
As he spoke, the momentum on his body was already released like a rainbow, and all the cups and plates on the green jade case clanged, close to Chu Xiong, as Chu Xiong's momentum was released, it slowly and automatically deflated inward, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas were squeezed into gravy and minced meat, and they couldn't stop shooting, and in an instant, the soup was dripping, and the cups and plates became walnut-sized gold and silver balls. Gradually, the water pavilion shook violently, and the glazed tiles on the roof flew out one after another like arrows, flying straight out even though they couldn't be seen. The fish in the clear water pond outside were crackling and jumping, and in a blink of an eye, a large piece of snow-white belly turned up. Those fake flowers and fake trees close to the water pavilion turned into powder one after another.
In the water pavilion, the robes of the ten kings and ten people of purgatory were hunting, and the big sleeves were puffed up like sails, and the people changed color. When they looked at Li Hong, their eyes were even more surprised.
This aura excluded Li Hong, Li Hong didn't even shake his clothes, and he was still slowly sipping the deep blue wine in the big white jade cup in his hand for a long time.
This big man's skills are so pure!
Such a slow release of momentum was more than a hundred times more difficult than a sudden release, and at the same time, he was able to bypass his senior brother and leave Li Hong unaffected at all.
Yan Luo's face was suddenly like ashes, and he couldn't help muttering: "I wasn't so strong at all before, these two people, have they eaten the elixir?
As soon as the words came out, he would lose without a fight, Li Hong swept his gaze towards the Ten Kings of Purgatory, and said slowly: "Senior brother, this is a place for the princes to spend their time, don't destroy it, it's troublesome to repair." ”
"Huh. In an instant, Chu Xiong regained his momentum, sat down, grabbed his bald head and looked at the cups and plates in front of him, and said regretfully: "I haven't eaten yet!"
As soon as the words fell, the big green jade case in front of him silently turned into powder, and the "gold and silver balls" turned into cups and plates rolled all over the ground.
Qin Guang looked thoughtful, stood up and clenched his fists for a while, and said loudly: "Dare to ask the two of you what you mean?"
Li Hong was waiting for his words, and Huo Ran stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Ming people don't do dark things, my Immortal Sect is about to fight with the Demon Sect, I want to ask your ten brothers to do a favor, don't participate in the war, that's all!"
Deathly silence.
Suddenly, Yama shouted, "Why should we listen to you?!"
"It must be me if you ten of you are against you!" Li Hong said proudly.
Seeing that the faces of the ten people couldn't help but change, Li Hong continued to say loudly: "At that time, your enemy must be me, and I can break the purgatory barrier that you are proud of, and when both sides are defeated, I will give those who have a heart to reap the benefits." Moreover, this battle will inevitably change the color of the situation and destroy the lives of the whole of Middle-earth, and the whole of Middle-earth will face a great catastrophe. I don't want to create more bad karma, so I persuade you. But if you are obsessed and do not come to your senses, I will not be afraid!
After a long time, Qin Guang finally nodded slowly, sighed, and said, "Okay, let's not make a move." ”
"Thank you ten princes for your righteousness!" Li Hong arched his hand and secretly let out a long breath.
Sometimes, sincerity and frankness are also a means, and they will not necessarily lose to conspiracy and trickery, and Li Hong now deeply understands this truth.
For these ten people, showing strength and knowing the righteousness is more useful than a thousand words.
At that moment, Li Hong made a soul oath with the ten kings and ten people of Purgatory and agreed on the details.
Twelve hands clasped together.
