Qin Mansion is located on the west side of Mangcheng. Nuo Dafu Temple covers an area of more than ten miles. It is quiet and peaceful on weekdays, but at this time it is full of people.
Today, it was the time for the Qin family to discuss matters. The four elders of the inner palace and the four branch elders were all gathered here. Outside the courtyard, stood the disciples of each elder. They gathered aside in twos and threes, chatting away.
Chamber.
There are nine seats in total. At this time, eight elders are sitting on them. Only the main seat is still empty. These people are silent and have their eyes closed, waiting for the arrival of the head of the family.
Not long after, the voices in the outer courtyard suddenly became silent. The eight elders opened their eyes at the same time, looked out the door, then stood up, saluted, and said, "I have met the head of the family."
Qin Can strode in wearing a mysterious robe. His face was clouded. He glanced at the elders and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat." Hearing that Qin Zheng was back yesterday, he was overjoyed, but in the end Returning without success made him feel depressed and didn't know how to face today's discussion.
All the elders took their seats.
Qin Can walked to the main seat in the hall, did not sit down, but glanced around, and finally stopped at an old man, and said: "Qin Yang, why did you convene this meeting?"
The old man was wearing a plain robe, with white hair and eyebrows, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. When he heard the voice, he stood up slowly, bowed slightly, and said slowly: "Master, we and other disciples of the fourth line have not been here for five years. The third floor of the secret pavilion, I don’t know why.”
The so-called secret pavilion is the place where the Qin family stores scriptures. It has three floors. The first floor is for Qi refining techniques, the second floor is for the secret techniques of cultivation, and the third floor contains the Nine Nether Illustrations. Since the head of the family closed the third floor five years ago, At this level, no disciples in the clan could enter, which caused disciples from all branches to talk about it.
Since the ancestor obtained this technique from Mingzhou, it can be viewed by all disciples who have reached the realm. There are three volumes of Jiuyou Pictures hidden here. One is the body refining diagram, which can be learned in the early stage of Qi refining, and the other is the spirit accumulation diagram. , you can watch it in the middle stage, and the third one is the Demon Gathering Diagram, which can also be learned in the later stage of Qi Refining.
These three volumes of illustrations are actually the Great Way of Dharma. It is difficult to find an opponent in the Qi Refining Realm. With this technique, the Qin family has become one of the three major families in Mangcheng. This shows its power, but I don’t know why the head of the family closed the secret. On the third floor of the pavilion, all disciples are prohibited from entering for five years, which makes people feel uneasy.
Qin Can's face was heavy, and he could no longer hide the matter. He said slowly: "It's not that he doesn't want the disciples of the clan to enter, but...five years ago, Qin Zheng entered the third-floor secret pavilion and stole Go away."
This sentence caused thousands of waves. The foundation of the law was stolen? !
The elders looked at each other in shock. They originally thought that the master of the house was just to keep his disciples company and not allow their disciples to enter. Unexpectedly, the Jiuyou Picture Book was lost! !
Qin Can sighed: "Everyone should know what happened five years ago. I ordered the arrest of this son, but he entered the underworld earlier. Who would have thought that this son was so ambitious that he dared to steal the treasure book!"
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier!!" Qin Yang said angrily. He was also an elder of the Zhengmai. Only under the head of the family, and even older than Qin Can, he also had the qualifications to scold him.
"The head of the family is confused. If he had made it clear earlier, the eight of us would pursue him with all our strength, even if we reach Mingzhou, we would catch him back. Now...the foundation has been lost, what should we do?!" An elder said sadly.
"It has long been known that there is a traitor in this son. Why does the master still let him go to the third floor of the secret pavilion?!" Another elder asked. He knew that the main line had always disliked this son, so he didn't understand why he was still allowed to observe the map. .
Qin Can shook his head and sighed: "This son came here according to the clan rules, how can he not be allowed to look at the album? If the trouble comes to the ancestor, I, the head of the family, don't want to be known as bullying the disciples."
Everyone was silent after hearing this, and what they were saying was true. If the head of the family could bully his disciples openly and openly, how could anyone convince them? When the time comes, it would be difficult for the family to continue without moral integrity.
"Master, does the ancestor know about this?!" Qin Yang asked.
Qin Can walked in front of the seat, turned around and sat down and said, "I haven't informed him yet."
"Ancestor doesn't know about such an important matter, Qin Can, what are your intentions?!" Qin Yang said angrily.
Qin Can glanced at Qin Yang, who had a stern face. He was slightly angry in his heart, but his face was as calm as water. He smiled and said: "Elder Qin, please be patient. In the past five years, I have sent dogs to guard the Mingyuan Sect. There are also gains from domain channels.”
Qin Yang looked suspicious and asked, "Have you arrested that person yet?"
When the others heard this, they became energetic and looked to the head of the family. As long as they found the Jiuyou Picture Book and came back, everything would be easy.
Qin Can shook his head slightly and sighed: "When Yongxin returned yesterday, Zeng Yan brought Qin Zheng back to the city. Two elders and I rushed to this son's residence overnight, but he avoided him first, but I had already Send people to guard the four gates. He must be still in the city now." At this point, he bowed deeply and said, "I hope you elders can help me and bring him back."
"Is this true?!" All the elders stood up and said in surprise.
"Not bad!" Qin Can continued: "If anyone gets back the catalog, the family's ten-year income will be divided into 30%!" He does not hesitate to spend a lot of money, as long as he can get back the treasure book and continue the strength of the clan, a little profit is not worth it. carry.
The elders were shocked when they heard this, 30% profit? ! The head of the family is really willing to give it up. If they get such qualifications, even their subordinates can advance to the next level and have more advantages when it comes to the big competition in the sect...
The so-called great competition in the sect is a competition between various lines in the clan. The one who wins more will get more resources, and the one who wins less will get less resources. Only by cultivating the best disciples with the richest resources can the family be more prosperous. .
They each had their own plans in mind. At this moment, there was a sudden sound from outside. A disciple came to the hall to report: "Master, Qin Zheng is back and is making trouble outside!"
"What?!!"
...
In front of the Qin family's gate.
"I've seen the young master." Zhu Changqing came forward and bowed in salute. Before dawn, he came to the gate of the Qin Mansion and waited for Wang Qi. He stayed up all night, thinking about his children, and added a few more gray hairs.
"Have you settled the family affairs?" Wang Qi asked.
Zhu Changqing smiled bitterly and reported all the events of yesterday, and then said: "Sir, there is something unusual today. Eight elders gathered here to discuss the matter of the secret pavilion." He came early, inquired about some news, and heard The disciples of the elders chatted in the courtyard and understood the reason, so they told everything they saw and heard.
Wang Qi nodded slightly, thinking so, everyone gathered together to clear his name. When he came back as Qin Zheng, the first thing he had to do was to clear away the suspicion of stealing the pictures, so that he could enter the secret pavilion with good name. He has found out clearly that the ancestor of the Qin family's golden elixir practices in a cave outside the city all year round. He only returns to the city to deal with major events.
Now the highest cultivators in the Qin Mansion are the head of the family and the eight elders, who are all in the late stage of Qi refining. Taking this opportunity, we can take a look at the Nine Nether Illustrations. If it really alarmed the Jindan Master, he would have obtained it by then. Zhen Jing, if it doesn't work, just leave. I don't think the golden elixir of this family of casual cultivators can stop him.
He was also a little surprised that Zhu Changqing did not take back his children. He did not expect that the third son's token was useless. He thought about it and said: "Changqing, if I can succeed in this trip, I may be able to solve the problem of your children. But there is also the possibility of fleeing for your life, you..."
Zhu Changqing didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately bowed and saluted: "I should follow the young master." He also knew that now he could only rely on the young master, so that his children could have a chance of survival.
Wang Qi nodded slightly. He looked at the gate of the Qin family and stepped in. Zhu Changqing followed closely. The two guards guarding the door saw that he was a disciple of the Qin family and did not stop him. Today's visitors are all elite disciples of all branches. Those young masters and young ladies were all difficult masters, and they did not dare to say anything.
Entering the gate, there is a green forest road, which is a little quiet and elegant. Zhu Changqing follows Wang Qi and uses the technique of sound transmission to explain to him the identity and name of the person he came to today, and even the state of his skills. He has been in the Qin family for ten years. , although I don’t know everything about it, I know it in detail.
Wang Qi secretly remembered that the head of the Qin family and the eight chief elders were all in the late stage of Qi refining, so they did not pose any threat to him. Only the ancestor in seclusion was a member of the divine elixir. If he wanted to leave, he would not be able to keep him. , which is also the reason why he came here.
After passing through the boulevard, a courtyard suddenly opened up. This was a courtyard covering an area of 100 feet. Dozens of disciples gathered together in twos and threes. When they saw someone in front of them, all their eyes turned to him.
"Hey, who is here?"
"It's actually him?!"
"Qin Zheng!! Do you dare to come back?!" Suddenly a young man came forward and blocked the road, with a look of surprise on his face. He was the son of the eldest elder of the Qin family. He knew that this person had been wanted by the family before. , the reward was extremely generous. In private, he also sent people to chase it, but they returned in vain. Unexpectedly, it was delivered to his door today!
Wang Qi looked at the person in front of him and heard Zhu Changqing's message: "Sir, this person's name is Qin Yongzheng. He is the eldest son of Elder Qin Yang and is in the middle stage of Qi refining."
"Come here, capture him for me!" Qin Yongzheng shouted loudly.
Beside him, there were two disciples of the same clan who immediately stretched out their muscles and bones after hearing the words. They heard a burst of explosions on their bodies, and they grew taller to more than ten feet. The two of them were divided into left and right sides, each using their own boxing skills to charge towards Wang Qi. And arrived.
The Qin family is also a body-refining family and likes to fight in close quarters. At the Qi-refiner stage, these techniques are the most lethal. The two of them are like tigers, carrying wind and cloud with them when they move, and their hands are like tiger claws. Before anyone arrives, the wind blows. First come. Although the other person was half a minute slower, his feet were as steady as a mountain. Even the courtyard shook slightly with each step, showing his great strength.
Wang Qi was a little interested. He had long heard that the Qin family had tiger demons and bull demons. Their movements were fast and their strength was as heavy as a mountain. They were also considered to be the best exercises for body training. When they saw it today, they really lived up to their reputation. These two people only In the middle stage of Qi refining, he trained the tiger demon and bull demon on his body, which was not much inferior to the Yuanling demon body in Long Live Mountain.
But if compared with him, it is far behind.
Wang Qi smiled slightly, took half a step forward, stretched out his hand to grab the tiger demon's claws, his move was slow and slow, like an old ox pulling a cart, he looked powerless, which was in stark contrast to the tiger's appearance. Compared.
"The one who cast the tiger demon is named Qin Hao, and the other one is named Qin Hong. Both of them are disciples of the branch elders." Zhu Changqing said quickly via voice transmission. He knew that the two people in front of him were no match for Wang Qi, even if they were the elders of the Qin family. , or the head of the family came out, they might not be able to hold the young man, so he continued to transmit the message and named all the people he knew in the scene.
Before the words were finished, the two men's boxing skills were already connected.
There was no earth-shattering sound, not even the sound of fists and palms clashing. Qin Hao opened his eyes wide and watched as the young man stretched out his right hand and slowly but accurately grabbed his wrist, as if it was his own. Send it forward and let him capture it.
Qin Hao's eyes were full of disbelief, how could this be possible? !
He used all his strength to break free, but he could not move even an inch like a cricket shaking a tree. His blood surged, and his face turned red. He was about to use his other hand to attack again, but found that his body was unable to move. At the same time, an overwhelming force poured into his body.
Click click click----
All the bones in Qin Hao's body were misaligned, and extreme pain spread across every inch of his muscles. He staggered back, his face deformed by the pain, but he could not make a sound. He fell to the ground after taking three steps back, twitching.
The onlookers screamed in surprise.
At this moment, another Qin Hong saw that he was defeated by the opponent's move. He was surprised. He and Qin Hao were about the same strength. If they were bare-handed, they might not be their opponents. When he waved his hand, something appeared in his palm. An iron hammer came out, which was covered with spikes and flashed with dark red blood, making it ferocious and terrifying.
He wielded the hammer with both hands, jumped up, and slammed it down hard.
