Gu Qing and Cui Lian'er left the auction venue.
The two of them came to the jasper-stacked platform on the fifth and fourth floors of Zhaoyu Tower and queued up to receive the spiritual stones obtained from the auction.
Although Cui Lian'er said that she had not auctioned anything today, she refused to leave Gu Qing's side at this time. Although she considered herself to be quite talented at controlling beasts, if she released a few of the monsters she controlled, She can compete with a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, but the Cui family has more than one clan elder in the late stage of Qi refining, plus Murong Changtian and four others. If she leaves Gu Qing's side, there is no doubt that she will be silenced immediately. Caught.
It is said that private fighting is prohibited in Kurongfang, but as long as there is not too much noise, the so-called prohibition of private fighting is equivalent to fart.
The Sikong family is indeed one of the big families in Longze Lake, but Longze Lake is a small place where not even a monk in the Danjie realm has ever left, and the scale of Kurongfang is so large, how can the Sikong family supervise it? come over? Unless the Lu family, which has an ancestor in the false infant realm, is willing to send strong men to guard Kurongfang, of course, the Sikong family will never agree to the Lu family sending strong men to guard Kurongfang. In that case, the interests of their Sikong family will inevitably be damaged.
As a result, Kurongfang has maintained a peaceful situation on the surface, but undercurrents are surging inside. Cui Lian'er doesn't want to be swallowed up by any undercurrent without paying attention, so her best way out at the moment is to hold on to Gu Qing. I wonder if the thigh is reliable.
'The strength of this guy named Lin is really unfathomable! Could it be that this person is a foundation-building old monster? Then why does this person come to Kurongfang disguised as a monk in the Qi refining stage? Could it be that... this person was injured and his level dropped? That’s why I have such a powerful spiritual consciousness, but the fluctuations in spiritual power are still in the Qi refining stage? Cui Lian'er glanced at Gu Qing in front of her, secretly guessing in her heart, she lowered her head slightly from time to time and glanced around.
At this time, there were still many monks paying attention to Gu Qing, and there were also many monks who noticed Cui Lian'er. Cui Lian'er sneered in her heart when she thought of her guess just now.
'If this guy surnamed Lin is really the old monster of foundation building, these guys who are planning on him will be scared to death!
Cui Lian'er thought so, but when her eyes glanced behind Murong Changtian who had just walked out of the auction venue, her eyes narrowed.
Behind Murong Changtian, stood an old woman.
This is an old woman wearing a green robe. She is tall and thin. Although the wrinkles on the yellow skin on her cheeks are relatively sparse, her age can be seen at a glance. She looks indifferent at this time. , his eyes were slightly closed, leaving only a gap. Zhou Long and others on the left and right surrounded him with respectful expressions on their faces.
'This old woman... is the founder of the Murong family!
Cui Lian'er's heart jumped suddenly.
The next moment, Cui Lian'er was about to look away, but she suddenly found that her eyes seemed to be stuck, unable to move away from the old woman's body. Her body also became stiff, and the spiritual power in her body As if out of control, she retracted her Dantian Qihai. Just as cold sweat was about to break out from her forehead, some force was forcibly suppressed between her skin and flesh. An indescribable itching and numbing feeling spread across her body. whole body.
Soon, she was trembling slightly.
At the same moment, she could barely see out of the corner of her eye that Gu Qing in front of her was walking into the stone chamber in front of her.
A helpless feeling of despair filled her heart: 'It's over! After the man surnamed Lin walked into the stone room, I was afraid that my mother would be captured immediately by this old guy from the Murong family and fall into the hands of Murong Changtian!
As Cui Lian'er expected, just after Gu Qing walked into the stone room, the old woman's slightly closed eyes opened, and then she looked at her calmly with turbid and indifferent pupils without any emotion.
boom!
The moment Cui Lian'er saw the old woman's cloudy eyes clearly, it was like thousands of thunders exploded in her ears, and countless light spots suddenly gathered and dispersed in front of her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, she shed two lines of bloody tears and walked towards the old woman like a puppet manipulated by a puppet.
Murong Changtian, who was standing in front of the old woman in green clothes, pretended to have received the message from Cui Lian'er, and walked a few steps to meet her. There was a bit of a spring breeze in his expression, and his eyes were full of laughter.
But with a cold look, he said: "Since Miss Lian'er has this invitation, how can I not accept it? The moonlight is just right tonight, which is perfect for boating on Longze Lake."
When the other monks on the platform saw this scene, they immediately guessed what had happened. Most of them chose to watch indifferently. They looked at Cui Lian'er one after another. Some were regretful, some were gloating, and a few others were... He quietly looked at the old women behind Murong Changtian. Each of them had different thoughts, and they were each talking to acquaintances through sound transmission.
"The foundation-building senior behind Murong Changtian dared to take action in the Zhaoyu Tower of Kurongfang. He is really unscrupulous!"
"Hmph! I heard that the Murong family and the Sikong family have been related by marriage for several generations. Murong Changtian still has some blood ties with the current head of the Sikong family. Even though the Sikong family found out that Murong Changtian invited the Murong family's rape They took action secretly, and as long as they didn't make too much noise, I'm afraid the Sikong family wouldn't care! It's a pity that Cui Lian'er, the Cui family's second-grade beast master, will die soon... "
"It is certain that Cui Lian'er will be played to death! But Murong Changtian probably won't let Cui Lian'er die for a while. Guo got some gossip earlier, saying that the Cui family is planning to give Cui Lian'er a dowry of four shops. As well as the Cui family’s half share of the first-order spiritual veins on the Surabaya Island to the east, Murong Changtian must let Cui Lian’er live for a while longer even for the sake of the Murong family.”
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Guo is really well-informed..."
It was during the break between the practitioners' sound transmission and conversation.
Murong Changtian had already put his arms around Cui Lian'er's shoulders.
'Cui Lian'er's ****, someone actually invited Long Po to reluctantly take it down! A mere bastard who hangs out with casual cultivators actually makes someone spend so much trouble! Look at how someone concocts this ***, bad stuff! Murong Changtian sneered in his heart. He looked at Cui Lian'er with a gloomy look. Cui Lian'er immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
At this time, the old woman in Tsing Yi behind Murong Changtian moved slightly, and suddenly looked at several figures in black who seemed to have some intention of making a move. Zhou Long, who was clustered around the old woman in Tsing, also recognized these figures in black. The figure looked over provocatively.
These people wearing black breath-covering robes were clearly Xi Mengyun, Zhao Tieshan, several late-stage Qi Refining corpse puppets from the Shanyin Sect, and Zhou Lian.
Xi Mengyun's relationship with Zhao Tieshan, Zhou Liansi and Gu Qing, at this moment, there were some thoughts of taking action in his heart, but with the gaze of the old woman in green behind Murong Changtian, facing the gaze of the foundation-building cultivator, The three of them unanimously gave up this idea.
Zhao Tieshan hesitated.
He sent a message to Xi Mengyun and said, "Senior Sister Xi, Cui Lian'er seems to have a good relationship with Senior Brother Gu Qing, and now he is captured by the old woman using evil magic. Do we really not intervene to stop him?"
Xi Mengyun glanced at Zhao Tieshan indifferently: "Junior Brother Zhao, although you call me Senior Sister Xi, those corpse puppets are not in Xi's hands. If you want to take action, just take action."
Zhao Tieshan's expression under his black robe was slightly dull.
There was a gloomy look in his eyes, but he didn't speak.
Zhou Lian on the side was also struggling.
He had the intention to take action, but considering that his current cultivation level was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he suppressed his intention to take action forcefully.
[Boy Zhou, although I cannot use my power, if you want to help your senior brother Gu Qing to save Cui Lian'er, I can help you. But I can still easily defeat the evil tricks performed by the first-level Foundation Establishment monk behind Murong Changtian! 】
Zhou Lian shook his head secretly.
"No need! The relationship between Cui Lian'er and Senior Brother Gu Qing is not that good. It's more like cooperation, so there is no need to take risks." He said this to the arrogant voice in his mind, but it was more like After convincing myself, the thoughts of taking action subsided.
Murong Changtian put his arms around Cui Lian'er's shoulders and dragged Cui Lian'er, who was stiff, to the fourth floor of Zhaoyu Tower. The old woman in green, Zhou Long, Chen Fan and other four people followed, and soon Soon this group of people disappeared in front of the cultivators on this platform.
All the cultivators focused their attention on the stone wall where people gathered for good photos.
The stone door that isolated the stone room from the outside world imagined the wonderful expression of the casual cultivator surnamed Lin after he came out.
Zhao Tieshan, Xi Mengyun and Zhou Lian all looked calm, waiting quietly for the stone door of the stone room to rise.
After a few short breaths, the stone door rumbled up.
Gu Qing, who was wearing a black robe, walked out of the stone door. He glanced at the cultivators with different expressions on the platform made of jade, but did not notice Cui Lian'er's figure, and frowned slightly.
He turned to look at Zhou Lian and asked via voice transmission: "I wonder if Junior Brother Zhou knows the whereabouts of Cui Lian'er?"
Zhou Lian responded truthfully: "Brother Gu, Taoist friend Cui Lian'er seems to have been captured by an evil cultivator brought by Murong Changtian. He is unable to do anything to resist. Now he has been taken away by Murong Changtian. Junior Brother I consider myself to be of low strength, so I didn't take action to stop him, so please don't blame me, senior brother."
Hearing Zhou Lian's words, Gu Qing raised his eyebrows. At this time, as he walked out of the stone door, the monks lined up behind him had entered the stone chamber. The stone door fell again with a rumbling sound, just like a layer of emotion in his heart. Above the haze, the muffled sound of thunder circulated.
Gu Qing nodded gently to Zhou Lian, and glanced at Xi Mengyun and Zhao Tieshan from the corner of his eye, as well as the positions of several corpse puppets from the Shanyin Sect. These three old friends, who were relatively close to each other, never took action to stop Cui Lian'er from being raped by Murong Changtian. He was not surprised by what happened.
People in the world of cultivation are indifferent, this has always been the case.
This is not wrong.
But things are never just about right and wrong.
Just like Gu Qing at this time, although he was not dissatisfied at all with his three old friends Xi Mengyun, Zhao Tieshan and Zhou Lian, he did feel that something was quietly withdrawing from his heart. As these things were withdrawn, His mind became calmer and calmer.
Gu Qing walked straight through the crowd and walked quickly to the fourth floor of Zhaoyu Building. When he came out of the first floor of Zhaoyu Building, he suddenly looked back, sighed secretly, withdrew his gaze, turned around, and looked outside Zhaoyu Building. , but Cui Lian'er was nowhere to be seen.
'It only took me five or six breaths from the time I walked into this stone gate to the time I came out. During this period, Cui Lian'er was taken away by Murong Changtian. Logically speaking, in the forbidden Kurongfang, They shouldn't be walking so fast. Gu Qing's consciousness slowly spread around.
He tried to distinguish the aura of Cui Lian'er among the auras of many monks, but failed. Cui Lian'er's aura seemed to have been deliberately erased, and he was a little confused:
'I have seen many people like Murong Changtian.
'He must have murderous intentions towards me. Now Cui Lian'er, the second-grade beast master who can cast evil spells to quietly capture the soul, is probably in the foundation-building realm. Why didn't he leave me a clue? , when I follow you, can you capture and kill me as well?
Gu Qing withdrew his consciousness and frowned.
There were so many monks in Kurongfang that he could not let go of his consciousness to look around. The choice before him at this time seemed to be to give up Cui Lian'er. It was okay to give up this girl, but giving up this girl meant that As a result, he no longer has a share in the property left by her parents!
That's a white spirit stone!
Gu Qing glanced at the people coming and going, and his heart moved: "Zhou Feng, whose arm I lost earlier, is not waiting downstairs right now!" Yesterday I came out late, so it was normal that I didn't see Zhou Feng. He had probably left with the monks he led here! But I came out so early today, why didn't he wait here at Zhaoyu downstairs?
'Three possibilities. The first possibility is that I guessed that Zhou Feng would be under the Zhaoyu Tower, waiting for the monks who were led here by him, and then left together. My guess was wrong. The second possibility was that he was The monk who led the way here has already gone downstairs before me...
Gu Qing's heart was spinning.
He looked back slightly.
About ten steps behind him, a monk with a somewhat unhappy expression was looking around for someone. He suddenly asked: "Your Excellency, are you looking for that boy named Zhou Feng?"
When the monk with an unhappy expression heard this, he was a little impatient, but when he saw
The person who asked the question was the casual cultivator surnamed Lin who had attracted much attention at the auction venue just now. He quickly calmed down the displeasure in his expression and nodded: "We are indeed looking for that boy named Zhou Feng! How come this fellow Taoist knows that guy named Zhou?" The boy of the wind?" Kan Shula
Gu Qing showed a slight smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Zhou Feng did something for Lin, please don't blame him."
As he spoke, Gu Qing sensed the mark of spiritual consciousness planted in Zhou Feng's body, determined the direction, and turned into a white air ball, which passed by the side of the cultivator very quickly, and suddenly disappeared.
