The river was neither deep nor shallow. Liu Xiaolou was struggling in the river, being restrained by loose elements from the ground. He could neither float up nor sink to the bottom. He seemed to be floating up and down, left and right, as if he was hanging in the air.
There was a strange force in the rope, and the acupuncture points in Liu Xiaolou's meridians were covered by this force, and the true energy in the acupoints was pulled, as if it was about to leave the body. In shock, he struggled desperately, tried hard to resist, and competed with Li Di San Yuan Suo for control of the true energy, but he became increasingly powerless.
I don’t know how long it took, but a bamboo pole reached down from the water, touched Liu Xiaolou’s body, and lifted it up. Liu Xiaolou flew out of the river and fell back into the cave.
Liu Xiaolou saw several faces approaching him in a trance. The faces were blurry and slightly familiar. However, he was completely immersed in the battle with the rope, trying desperately to control his true energy to prevent it from being dispersed by the soul rope, but he couldn't. Can't think of anything else.
After persisting for a long time, just when his strength was exhausted and the real energy in the various acupuncture pools was about to be sucked out by the scattered yuan rope, the real energy suddenly poured back from the rope, so much that Liu Xiaolou's meridians almost burst.
He vomited out a mouthful of black blood that had accumulated in his chest for a long time, finally regained his strength, and lay on his back in the cave, breathing heavily, feeling both lucky and scared at the same time.
It was really dangerous today, Master Dao almost died!
The three faces in front of him were finally recognized. They were Wei Hongqing, Zuo Gaofeng, and Tan Bazhang. From the corner of his eye, he saw someone lying motionless in the cave's inner chamber, but it was Hou Sheng.
"Wake up, wake up!" Tan Bazhang was very happy. He held Liu Xiaolou's shoulders and shook him vigorously. Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water from the river before he stopped.
Liu Xiaolou gasped and asked: "How? Have you killed him?"
Wei Hongqing smiled and said: "Where can I leave him alive?"
Liu Xiaolou pointed at the corpse: "My array..."
Zuo Gaofeng was touching the corpse, and he threw the Linyuan Black Stone Formation Disk over. Liu Xiaolou took it and rubbed it for a moment. His heart completely relaxed. The hard work he had spent so much time on refining was finally back!
Wei Hongqing was looking at the loose yuan rope from the ground. While looking at it, he murmured: "Xiaolou, was it you who was tied up by this rope just now? Why didn't you look agile?"
Liu Xiaolou looked at his hand and saw that the scattered element rope off the ground had shrunk into a thin rope about the length of a ruler, and it rested softly on the edge of Wei Hongqing's palm. As soon as he looked over, something moved in his heart, as if there was some kind of tacit understanding between himself and the rope. The rope also flew up from Wei Hongqing's palm, wrapped around Liu Xiaolou's wrist, and submerged under his skin. Like a blue blood vein.
"Oh, baby!" Wei Hongqing said in surprise.
It is undoubtedly a good treasure to be able to recognize its owner on its own. I think the reason why it recognized its owner was because its original owner Hou Sheng was dead and it had a true essence fusion with Liu Xiaolou.
Liu Xiaolou was also extremely happy. This loose rope had the effect of dispersing the enemy's true energy, but he suffered greatly from it. He heard Hou Sheng mention it, and Hou Sheng dared to come alone to capture Xing Dejun. With this spiritual cord, it goes without saying that it is powerful.
There are very few magical weapons in the world that can match the owner's meridians. Among the various magical weapons owned by Liu Xiaolou, including the Misty Xiangjin, Sanxuan Sword, and Linyuan Xuanshi Array, none of them can match the master's meridians. The meridians of the owner’s body are in harmony.
The moment it connected with the Lidi Sanyuan Cord, a flash of enlightenment came from the cord, making him instantly aware of the efficacy of this treasure. There are hundreds of acupuncture points on the rope, which correspond to the acupuncture points of the human body. As many acupuncture points as you open up, you can light up as many shadow points on the rope as possible, thus covering as many of the enemy's acupuncture points. When the enemy's opened acupuncture points are all covered, he cannot transfer his true energy through his meridians, and he can only wait for his life to be sucked out by the rope.
In other words, the power of this rope is closely related to Liu Xiaolou's cultivation level. If he reaches perfection in Qi refining and opens up all the acupuncture points, the rope will tie whomever he can in a one-on-one situation.
Of course, the power is limited to the Qi refining stage. After the foundation is established, the Qi sea is cultivated, and has nothing to do with the meridians and acupuncture points.
Liu Xiaolou had taken advantage of this treasure, so it was natural that he could not distribute Hou Sheng's relics. Now he only hoped that Hou Sheng would bring more spiritual stones, gold, silver and even other magic weapons with him to give to those who sacrificed their lives. The brothers who come to help should share more, so that they can feel at ease. This is also the rule of Wulong Mountain.
Hou Sheng is worthy of being the deacon of the inner sect of the Qingyu Sect. He has quite a lot of relics. Among the things he carries on his body are two magic tools, the Taomu Sword and the Iron Square Tablet, seven spiritual stones, and a bottle of three heart-nourishing pills. It is a rare good thing for ordinary casual cultivators.
In particular, the two magic weapons, the Taomu Sword and the Iron Fang Pai, are both of the middle grade. They can be used for both offense and defense. They have endless magical uses. If Hou Sheng hadn't smelled the incense first and then been ambushed and attacked, it would have been hard to say who would win.
Liu Xiaolou will not get involved in these good things, and Wei Hongqing and others will divide them up.
Zuo Gaofeng was at the eighth level of Qi refining and had the highest level of cultivation. But when he attacked Hou Sheng just now, the one who contributed the most was Wei Hongqing, who was at the sixth level of Qi refining. No one else, because of the magic weapon in his hand. This time, Wei Hongqing specially borrowed a high-grade seven-color locust stone from someone in the inner sect. He took advantage of Hou Sheng's temporary mental instability due to being fascinated by the blurred incense, and struck out the seven-color locust stone first, hitting the center. Hou Sheng faced the door. This locust stone was specially designed to defeat monks like Hou Sheng who practiced spiritual arts. Hou Sheng was stunned on the spot. He didn't even have a chance to use his methods, so he was surrounded and killed by the three people who suddenly arrived.
For this reason, Wei Hongqing was chosen first.
Wei Hongqing was the deacon of the outer sect of Tianmu Mountain, and his status was almost beyond Mingluo. Although the Peach Wood Sword and the Iron Square Card were good, he did not dare to choose them, so he took seven spiritual stones and a bottle of heart-nourishing pills.
Zuo Gaofeng chose the peach wood sword, and the iron square card belonged to Tan Bazhang. They can use these two magic weapons for themselves, or they can exchange them for spiritual stones. If a medium-grade magic weapon like this is sold on the black market, even if it is discounted in half, they can get at least fifteen or six spiritual stones, which is quite a lot. The harvest of two years of hard work.
In addition, Hou Sheng also had a few miscellaneous items on his body, three leader tokens, and a silver hairpin.
The three leader tokens are of different shapes. One of them is exactly the same shape as Liu Xiaolou's existing Sanxuanmen and Zijimen tokens. It is also made of ebony of unknown material and has three words "Xingmingmen" written on it. The other two pieces are much better looking, one is carved from rosewood and the other is made from sterling silver, with the words "Jiangsha Sect" and "Five Tiger Gang" written on them respectively.
Tan Bazhang asked curiously: "What's the use of this? Why does the surnamed Hou carry it with him?"
Zuo Gaofeng said: "I heard about these sects a few years ago. They are all sects of the same path as our casual cultivators. Door."
Wei Hongqing thought for a while and said: "Hou Sheng is the case-handling deacon of the Qingyu Sect. These sects should have been destroyed by him, right? Is the leader's token retained to commemorate merit? No matter, burn it. .”
Liu Xiaolou stretched out his hand: "If you don't want it, I would like to keep the Xingming Sect token."
Tan Bazhang teased him: "The person who gets the token is the leader. Xiaolou still wants to be the leader of the Xingming Sect? Do you still want this Five Tiger Gang leader token? If you don't want it, give it to me and I'll melt it. You can also get five taels of silver."
So Liu Xiaolou got the Xingmingmen token, Tan Bazhang got the Wuhu Gang token, and no one wanted the remaining Jiangsha Sect token made of red sandalwood.
The remaining jade hairpin was also left untouched. Zuo Gaofeng stepped on it and threw it into the river.
Wei Hongqing lit a fire in the cave, burned Hou Sheng's body and debris into a pile, and scattered the ashes into the Miluo River.
Wei Hongqing said: "Hou Sheng often goes out to investigate cases, and it is common for him not to return to the mountain gate for four or five months, so we have at least four or five months to clear ourselves. After that, even if the Qingyu Sect notices something abnormal, it will I can’t find a clue, Master Zuoxia and Bazhang, if you want to exchange the magic weapon for the spiritual stone, you can’t rush it now, you must be cautious during this period, and wait until the limelight is over.”
Both of them said "I know".
Wei Hongqing muttered again: "It's over at Luyi Courtyard..."
Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and said: "You shouldn't worry. Even if you go to Luyiyuan, it will be difficult to get anything - Luyiyuan has more than a hundred visitors every day. Who knows what happened three or five months ago?" ? What's more, Sister Qing doesn't know the inside story, and she won't cause trouble for herself."
Several people nodded, but no one wanted to say anything more. Is it possible that he really went to kill everyone in Luyiyuan? All in all, the girls in Luyi Courtyard, including Sister Qing, can also be considered as people from Wulong Mountain. Who has not received favor from them?
When Wulongshan heroes do things, they just do it. There are some risks that need to be borne. Who doesn’t have a lawsuit? It’s just one more thing!
At that moment, everyone carefully cleared away the remaining traces in the cave, and then they parted here and went their separate ways.
