"That's a good question."
Lu Xueqi nodded.
His slender white index finger drew an arc on the map.
Finally, it came down to a name.
"Xiaochi Town!"
"The third place to stay is Xiaochi Town!"
"This town is not far from the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave."
"Moreover, it is one of the few neutral cities near the Blood Refining Hall. It is not too difficult whether it is by water or land."
"Junior Brother Zeng is right."
"This third foothold is actually just in case. If the team is broken up, and if the people who have lost contact are able to move, they will head towards this Xiaochi Town."
"But be careful!"
"Xiaochi Town is just our destination!"
"If the disciples of Tianyin Temple or Fenxiang Valley also want to stay at this foothold, they can leave it alone as long as they don't disturb us."
"Just try not to accept them."
"Before everyone is here, any rash decision is likely to lead to an unknown death, and it is the kind of death that does not even have an explanation."
"All the brothers and sisters present must be careful!"
Zeng Shushu nodded after hearing this.
There were uneven responses.
certainly.
Not that no one remained silent.
Zhang Xiaofan, who was still autistic, did not answer.
However, Lu Xueqi did not force everyone to answer. After seeing a brief silence, she focused on Qi Hao: "Senior Brother Qi Hao, do you have any questions?"
Qi Hao smiled awkwardly but politely.
Then, he calmly put down his hand.
"What Junior Brother Zeng asked just now is actually the question I wanted to ask. Since I have already received the answer, I don't have any questions."
"Right now, I'm just thinking about one thing."
"If the battle is really as tragic and cruel as Junior Sister Lu said, if Junior Sister Lu loses your ability to command during the battle, do you, as the commander who takes over from Junior Sister Lu in the team, need to continue as planned? implement?"
Qi Hao's question was a bit sharp.
Of course, there are also some sensitivities.
But Lu Xueqi did not avoid answering.
After a brief pause, he replied crisply:
"unnecessary!"
"There is no need to continue with my plan!"
"On the one hand, it's because if we really fall into a desperate situation, excluding some unforeseen accidents, all the remaining realities will actually prove the error of my plan."
"It is undoubtedly a wrong choice to implement a wrong plan. We don't have geniuses in our team, so the probability of survival when facing a desperate situation is naturally smaller than that of Fenxiang Valley, which has geniuses."
"It would be unwise to gamble with your life on this probability."
"On the other hand, if there is an error in our plan itself, the speed of repairing the error in a desperate situation is far slower than the speed of recreating a brand new plan."
"In that environment, time is of the essence."
"Therefore, the commander can make a decisive decision!"
Lu Xueqi's answer was firm and decisive.
When Qi Hao heard Lu Xueqi's statement, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment, his expression became slightly solemn, and he replied in a deep voice: "I understand!"
Lu Xueqi nodded.
Immediately, he looked at the clouds below.
"It's almost time."
"At our current speed, we should be near the sky above Heyang City. Brothers and sisters can slow down and try not to cause unnecessary trouble or disturb the normal lives of mortals."
As she spoke, Lu Xueqi took the initiative to slow down.
The blue stream of light gradually disappeared.
The Tianya Sword carried Lu Xueqi and sank downwards.
Tian Linger naturally also slowed down. Although she hated Lu Xueqi, sometimes she had to admit that it was not the right time for a fight.
Besides, she hasn't mastered all the fields of law yet.
It's hard to say whether he will win or lose against Lu Xueqi.
After all, the relationship between Lu Xueqi and Tianya Sword has soared these days, improving almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A Nine Heavens Divine Weapon can greatly increase the combat power of the holder; especially since Lu Xueqi still holds the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Secret Art in her hand, if she is not careful, Tian Linger will consciously Roll over.
Therefore, Tian Linger was not following Lu Xueqi's orders.
It just means that she has to admit the reality.
Therefore, the amber scarlet silk shrank quickly, and the red stream of light dissipated at an extremely fast speed. Almost in the blink of an eye, the amber scarlet silk silk slowly sank into the clouds carrying Tian Linger.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu naturally did the same thing.
However, since Zhang Xiaofan's fairy sword is Tian Buyi's Red Flame Sword, and the fairy sword in Lin Jingyu's hand is still a fairy sword temporarily borrowed by Cangsong, his control ability is naturally not as good as the others. .
After struggling slightly for a moment, they finally managed to control their respective swords.
After Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu took control of the fairy sword, the remaining Qingyun Sect disciples had already sunk into the clouds below.
After a while, the sea of clouds returned to calm...
…
…
"The weather...isn't right?"
Stand on the ground.
Zeng Shushu, who was holding the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, raised his head and took a look at the slightly dark sky. Thinking of the bright scenery just above the clouds, he couldn't help but blurt out.
Zhang Xiaofan also stood on the ground.
Hearing Zeng Shushu's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyelids, but had no intention of answering. He just silently put away the Red Flame Sword and stood aside silently, waiting.
Qi Hao also stood on the ground.
In other words, the eight disciples of Qingyun Sect are all standing on the ground at this moment, on a small mountain peak not far outside Heyang City. Looking up, you can see Heyang City not far away.
Upon hearing Zeng Shushu's question, Qi Hao, who had already made a guess, immediately spoke, with a hint of uncertainty, and replied calmly:
"Maybe it's a celestial problem."
"When I came down just now, I felt that there was more moisture in the clouds than in ordinary clouds, but I can't be sure how much more."
"In human terms, it actually means it's going to rain."
"Of course, it's not too late."
"But the dark clouds came up and blocked the sunshine."
"So, before we could see the sun above the sea of clouds, but now that we are under the sea of clouds, we naturally feel that it is abnormally dark."
"Fortunately, it's not too dark."
Speaking of this, Qi Hao smiled.
Raising his head slightly, he gestured to Heyang City not far away.
"Look!"
"That's Heyang City!"
"With our speed, even without wielding a sword, we can reach Heyang City before the rain falls. Although purchasing supplies may be a bit troublesome, if it doesn't work, we can temporarily borrow a batch from Heyang City's warehouse. !”
"Junior Sister Lu is a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, maybe she doesn't know that."
"Junior brother Lin started late and doesn't know much about it."
"In fact, for us Longshou Peak disciples, these are just ordinary actions. When slaying demons, not every time we can do it perfectly. It is inevitable that we will need some medicinal materials or conceal our identity. Things used.”
"At this time, I will go to a nearby city to borrow a batch."
"Since the amount borrowed is not large, it is not a waste of time."
"Moreover, Junior Brother Lin and I's master, who is currently the leader of Longshou Peak, is the leader of the Qingyun Sect who is in charge of law and punishment; therefore, the disciples of Longshou Peak are naturally responsible for going down the mountain to slay demons and eliminate demons. Responsibility."
"There are also disciples from other branches who will come down the mountain."
"It's just that the number is relatively small."
"Therefore, you should not know the rules."
Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyelids but said nothing.
Tian Linger had a dark face and snorted coldly.
no way.
Dazhu Peak’s manpower is just short.
There are only two or three elders from the previous generation left.
There are currently only eight disciples of this generation.
Counting Tian Buyi, the first leader of Dazhu Peak, and Tian Buyi's wife Suru, there are currently less than fifteen people in the entire Dazhu Peak.
Going down the mountain?
What mountain to go down? !
Kill demons?
What kind of monster should be killed, what kind of demon should be eliminated? !
The Qingyun Sect has not yet fallen into such a state of decline that its lineage has been cut off!
This was Daoxuan's excuse for rejecting Tian Buyi.
Daoxuan hopes Tian Buyi will work hard to develop Dazhu Peak.
There is no need to set the initial goal too high. Daoxuan's biggest expectation for Tian Buyi is actually to let Tian Buyi recruit more than twenty disciples.
Otherwise, if this cycle continues, it is estimated that after two or three generations, the Dazhufeng lineage will face the dilemma of no one to inherit the mantle!
After all, people die!
Daoxuan will die too!
Jade Clear Realm can indeed prolong life.
But it only extends lifespan to a small extent.
If a disciple of the ninth level of Yuqing does not die in battle, based on the theoretical life span, he can live to be two hundred years old.
certainly.
This is just theory.
During practice, there will still be hidden injuries.
What's more, no immortal cultivator does not need to fight!
Just like Zhang Xiaofan today.
Even though he had the Red Flame Sword Tian Buyi lent him as a weapon for the time being, in reality, Zhang Xiaofan still needed to find materials to refine his own magic weapon.
But are the materials so easy to find?
Refining techniques are an important link.
In terms of materials, it is even more of a big problem!
Thanks to what the Blood Refining Hall has done...
Thanks to the coming of the age of great strife...
Thanks to the endless emergence of talented people...
In terms of the materials required for refining magic weapons, competition has become increasingly fierce in the past five years. Finding a good material requires not only defeating the spirit beast that protects the treasure, but also having to secure a firm position in an environment surrounded by many coveters. Protect this material!
Secondly, it is the turn of the refining technique requirements!
All in all, every cultivator must fight.
It's just that the fighting has become more intense in recent years.
In previous years, fighting was relatively simple.
Therefore, the statement that the ninth level of Yuqing can live to 200 years old is just a theoretical limit. If this is really the case, Daoxuan today can also live to 800 years old!
Tian Buyi is still a little short of the Taiqing realm.
The current life span limit should be around 600 years old.
Cangsong and Shuiyue are also at this stage.
The lifespan limits of the first seats of the remaining veins are somewhat lower.
However, Wan Jianyi's lifespan limit is very high.
The distance from Daoxuan is only twenty or thirty years.
If nothing else happens, the next two generations of disciples can be taken care of.
pity.
Fighting is the norm in the world of immortality.
Mortals would think that the war between good and evil, which occurs only once every hundred years in the world of immortality, is an unprecedented war, because every war between good and evil lasts for a long time, and some even take two or even three hundred years before it happens again. Usher in the next battle between good and evil.
But in the eyes of immortal cultivators...
Isn't this normal?
Immortal cultivators have a long lifespan.
Of course, due to the rules of this world, even if a cultivator reaches the third level of cultivation, he cannot achieve immortality.
But this does not change the fact that immortal cultivators have a long lifespan.
Daoxuan's theoretical life limit is eight hundred years.
In the mortal world, it would be ten generations apart!
Moreover, among these ten generations, each generation must live to be at least eighty years old. In this era when health preservation is not realized by many people, accompanied by fighting and troublesome demons and ghosts that appear from time to time, can A mortal who lives to the age of eighty is enough to be called a longevity!
And such a long-lived person should last for ten generations...
It can barely be equal to Daoxuan's life!
It can be seen that it is normal for this world to have such a large number of immortal seekers; even if they can only live to two hundred years old, it cannot change the benefits of a long life.
It is human nature to pursue immortality.
Fear of death is also human nature.
These are all understandable things.
Therefore, in the eyes of immortal cultivators, the battle between good and evil, which may only occur once in a century, can be considered intense, but it is not as impending as ordinary people think.
However, this does not prevent the cruelty of the battle between good and evil.
Therefore, there will naturally be a lot of fighting.
If there is no successor, Dazhu Peak will sooner or later be crushed into ashes by the wheel of time, and Qingyun Sect’s original seven peaks and seven meridians will become seven peaks and six meridians.
Therefore, in Daoxuan's eyes, Tian Buyi's current main task is to recruit disciples, to recruit some disciples who can carry forward Dazhu Peak. The number may not be large, but at least it must be more than twenty.
The matter of slaying demons and demons has basically nothing to do with Tian Buyi.
If Tian Buyi dies, it will give Daoxuan a headache.
After all, Daoxuan couldn't find another vacancy on the top of Dazhu Peak caused by Tian Buyi's death. By then, Dazhu Peak would undoubtedly fall into a cycle of destruction.
A dragon cannot survive without a leader.
After all, Lu Yuan is the future leader of Qingyun.
Although he has now become a Qingyun traitor, and is still a public Qingyun traitor, it cannot be denied that the previous Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi really intended to train Lu Yuan as the future head of the Qingyun Sect.
The heads of the Qingyun Sect have all come from Tongtian Peak in every dynasty.
From ancient times to the present, it has never changed.
Therefore, Lu Yuan cannot be at Dazhu Peak.
To be precise, he cannot take over the top spot of Dazhu Peak.
Therefore, from the beginning, Daoxuan did not give up the idea of urging Tian Buyi because of Lu Yuan's appearance. Instead, it was because of Lu Yuan's appearance that the idea of urging him became stronger.
only……
These are things of the past.
The thing now is to bring Xiao Yicai back first.
The Qingyun Sect has lost a future leader.
We must not lose the only remaining future leader!
However, Daoxuan is also rational.
Wan Jianyi is also rational.
For this task that was so difficult that it was almost impossible to complete, Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi did not force Lu Xueqi to bring Xiao Yicai back, they just asked her to do her best.
In other words, Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi also believed that confronting the leader of the Blood Refining Hall on the territory of the Blood Refining Hall was an irrational choice, and it was also a choice with no chance of winning.
Therefore, the two did not embarrass Lu Xueqi.
But the burden on Lu Xueqi is still very heavy!
While thinking about the plan, Lu Xueqi had already brought Tian Linger and other Qingyun disciples to the gate of Heyang City. Pedestrians passing by could not help but look shocked when they saw the clothes of Lu Xueqi, Tian Linger and other Qingyun disciples.
All righteous sects have similar uniforms.
There are certain differences in details.
For example, the monk's robe worn by the abbot of Tianyin Temple is undoubtedly more eye-catching than the monk's robe worn by ordinary disciples of Tianyin Temple.
certainly.
In terms of uniforms, there are no big rules.
Just like Tian Linger.
She is still wearing a pink dress.
It looks extremely agile.
Another example is Zeng Shushu.
He is currently dressed like a rich man.
It's not silk and satin, but it's definitely a good fabric.
He also held a folding fan in his hand.
He really looks like a rich man.
The premise is that you don't carry the Xuanyuan Sword on your back.
As for the uniforms of Lu Xueqi, Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu, Changjian and Zhang Xiaofan, they are actually very normal Qingyun Sect clothes.
Most Qingyun Sect disciples will also wear this kind of uniform when they go down the mountain to perform tasks. However, the elders and chiefs of Qingyun Sect do not need to accept this kind of restraint, and they can basically wear whatever they want.
The premise is that there is no bells and whistles.
However, there are also different elders’ wearing habits.
Even if he breaks through to the Shangqing realm and becomes an elder, he still wears this uniform habitually.
All in all, uniforms don't matter.
It's mainly just to show your identity.
The passers-by at the gate of Heyang City were not shocked by the identities of Lu Xueqi and others; after all, in the Central Plains, monsters and beasts often appeared in trouble, and the disciples of Longshou Peak often went down the mountain after reporting. The Qingyun Sect's reputation for slaying demons and demons was slowly accumulated through these disciples.
Therefore, there is no need to be surprised to see Qingyun Sect disciples wearing Taoist robes in any corner of the Central Plains.
There are not many disciples in Qingyun Sect.
But this is compared to the Blood Refining Hall.
Counting it all together, there were nearly four thousand people.
Even if one-tenth of them were allocated to slay demons and demons, it would still be four hundred people. Putting it on the entire Central Plains, it might not be worth mentioning, but if one were allocated to a heavy city, it would still be more than enough.
Therefore, these passers-by were not overjoyed to see the Immortal Chief of Qingyun Sect. The reason why they were surprised was, on the one hand, the identities of Lu Xueqi and others, and on the other hand, the appearance of Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger was indeed good-looking.
certainly.
It's not that Qi Hao and others are not good-looking.
The main reason is that in this era, most girls to be married do not go out to play casually. Therefore, although the pedestrians on the road are both male and female, they are either women who have their own hearts, or they are in love with Qi Hao and others. A scolding man.
Let a group of men admire men?
Not to mention that this request is too difficult to impose. Even if someone is willing, Qi Hao, Zeng Shushu and others probably will not be able to accept it!
Therefore, Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger are more eye-catching.
People are all creatures who love beauty.
Watching two beauties is always eye-catching.
However, it’s just for eye candy.
If you really point fingers at Lu Xueqi and Tian Linger, or say some dirty words behind their backs, unless they are people who are not afraid of death, or people who actively seek death; otherwise, no one will do such a short-term thing. Brain move!
The power is so powerful!
So powerful that just one reputation can silence everyone.
Lu Yuan has long been used to this.
In other words, he was not surprised at all.
After all, when he was in the world of fox monsters, he was always so eloquent. A casual glance could make countless people toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
“In the final analysis, it’s still strength!”
"With power, you can make rules!"
“Only with strength can we uphold morality!”
“Without power, it’s all words and nonsense.”
"That's all!"
Lu Yuan sighed softly.
Next to him, a female voice sounded.
"Did the hall master see any old friend?"
A girl in a goose-yellow dress walked slowly.
The lotus steps moved lightly, showing her outstanding grace, and invisible waves spread out, just like this girl's charm that has nowhere to be placed.
Lu Yuan did not look back.
Pick up the wine glass and drink the wine in the glass.
Then he put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "You should have learned about me from many channels, and you should also know my character. In the end, you are so willing to be pushed out by the Hehuan sect as a sincerity?"
Jin Ping'er sat next to Lu Yuan.
She didn't dare sit across from Lu Yuan.
The reason is too much psychological pressure.
After hearing Lu Yuan's question, he calmly replied:
"No!"
"Have you considered..."
"Is it sincerity that I introduced the Acacia Pie?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyes slightly.
I saw the cunning and unyielding look in Jin Ping'er's eyes.
After a moment of silence, he then asked, "Do you really think you can escape from his grasp, or do you think Baguio won't notice it?"
"It's because Baguio noticed..."
"It's precisely because he let me go..."
"That's why I ran to you, wasn't it?"
Jin Ping'er blinked.
Then he stood up naturally, walked behind Lu Yuan, reached out and hugged Lu Yuan's neck, opened his red lips and said softly:
"She is still in perfect condition!"
"I am not the Patriarch of Jinling, but you are not a black-hearted old man either. The Hehuan Sect may not be trusted by you, but I can give you a completely obedient Hehuan Sect."
"It's like hundreds of years ago."
"The Hehuan Sect is the Hehuan Sect, and the Blood Refining Hall is the Blood Refining Hall."
"They don't need to trust each other."
"But the founder and the black-hearted old man trust each other."
"This is actually enough!"
"My request is not too high, right?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
Then, with a finger, Jin Ping'er involuntarily let go of his hand and was stiffly pushed back to his original seat.
"The world is like chess, one move counts three times."
"Your coming seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is inevitable."
"I like how smart you are."
"Of course, I prefer you to be anti-customer."
"Being ruthless when necessary is for a better future."
"I transferred you here just to protect you."
"After all, there was a great art in ancient times..."
"It's called: Parting Phantom!"
The kuaizi in Jin Ping'er's hand fell to the ground.
Lu Yuan looked slightly sideways.
Jin Ping'er sat there at a loss.
I dare not reach out to pick up the tachyon.
Looking stupidly into Lu Yuan's eyes.
"alright."
"Just know."
"Don't even think about saying it."
"Because this is my sincerity to you."
"Lost this..."
"You will never see me again."
Lu Yuan said calmly.
He stretched out his hand a little and two flowers suddenly grew on the table.
Immediately afterwards, the flowers wilt.
Two flower stems instantly turned into bamboo.
Lu Yuan took it off and handed it to Jin Ping'er.
Jin Ping'er quickly took it and started eating honestly.
Under Lu Yuan's window, Lu Xueqi and others were crowding in. Lu Yuan opened the window slightly and saw these familiar but unfamiliar classmates.
"Shanhaiyuan!"
Tian Linger read it word by word.
Qi Hao explained softly from the side: "A restaurant."
"And it's also a restaurant that can cook braised fish."
Zeng Shushu added from the side.
Tian Linger closed her eyes slightly and paused.
But I can no longer find the strange feeling I had just now.
He had no choice but to sigh slightly and keep up with the pace of everyone.
And on the second floor of Shanhaiyuan.
The window that was opened just now is now closed.
"I hope you can crack the first test I set. If you can't crack it, there is no need to get to know me further."
"It's not bad to be an enemy."
Lu Yuan sighed.
He asked softly: "What do you think?"
"That's what Daozi said."
Jin Ping'er blurted out.
Immediately, I realized something was wrong.
He quickly changed his words and said: "That's what the hall master said."
Then, I seemed to feel something was wrong again.
After being silent for a long while, he slowly spoke.
"You said so!"
