"Senior brother," Cui Zhongjiu begged, "you are the one who does big things. Why don't you place my junior brother in a secret place, pour a drunken elixir into it, and make me comatose for a few days. Then I will report to the official, Senior brother, you have already flown far away, and you don’t know where you’ve ended up. Why do you have to take your junior brother’s life and be tainted with another piece of karma!”
This was the argument he had just racked his brains to come up with. He just hoped that the other party would have some compassion and spare his life.
Hou Xian was silent, but he sneered in his heart.
What are you doing to keep you alive? Will you seek revenge from me in the future?
"Senior brother!" Seeing that Hou Xian didn't speak, Cui Zhongjiu panicked and continued to beg: "How about giving me another chance? I'll go talk to my uncle and help you find a guest in the palace. How about that?"
Hou Xian was even more disdainful. If you had agreed earlier, I would not have thought about your spiritual stone.
After all, that opportunity three years later was related to his hope of building a foundation in this life.
He needs a high-sounding identity, but now he can't find one.
The Yunxiao Sect has very strict management of the monks in the Xu Kingdom. No matter where you are, you must register at the local county hall every year, otherwise many things will not be done.
Unless someone proves it for you and is willing to guarantee it.
It's a pity, it's hard to collect water, it's too late! He has already done this, so don't expect this junior brother to help him.
If you want to blame, blame yourself. He walked towards Cui Zhongjiu with a sharp knife in hand.
Seeing the fierce look in his eyes, Cui Zhongjiu was completely desperate and shouted with all his strength: "Senior, senior brother, you killed someone from the Wang family, aren't you afraid of being traced by them? Why don't you save your little brother's life, and there will be a way to escape then?" ah!"
He was so desperate that he was even willing to be the scapegoat just to survive for a moment longer.
Unexpectedly, these words really touched Hou Xian.
Anyway, this guy is in my hands, what difference does it make if he dies early or dies later? Maybe it can actually be reused!
"Okay!" Hou Xian said with a smile: "We are two brothers, why should I harm your life. But you have to cooperate honestly, otherwise..."
"Yes, yes." Seeing him relent, Cui Zhongjiu agreed repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Young man from the Wang family, I leave my fortune and life to you!
…
At night, in Jiumuzi Lane, Yunzhou City, there are two people entering the courtyard.
Yang Zhen had already taken out 20,000 pieces of Xuanyang wood from the space, and then, under Yiyi's command, set up a natural illusion array.
In the past three years, he has made such arrangements before every transaction.
After all, he was just pulling the tiger skin of the Wang family to scare people. What if someone found out one day and made people have evil intentions?
In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Even if nothing happens, it is good to be more familiar with the formation process.
With the improvement of Yiyi's cultivation, there are also some materials that have been purchased over the years.
Nowadays, the natural formation set up by Yang Zhen is difficult for even ordinary foundation-building monks to detect and even more difficult to escape.
After doing this, he found a place to sit cross-legged and silently calculated his income and expenditure.
Now his annual income is about fifteen thousand spirit stones, but his expenses are also high.
Chen Fugui's salary, the cost of traveling to and from the sect and the prefecture and county, as well as Yiyi's wood spirit stone, and his future expenses for body training...
It doesn't seem to be enough.
So this time, he planned to have a serious talk with Manager Cui to see if he could increase the amount of Xuanyang wood purchased while reducing the number of transactions.
Just as he was contemplating with his eyes closed, Yiyi suddenly said:
"Taoist Master Cui is here."
"No, it's not him, it's someone else."
"He didn't come in. He was looking around the yard in a sneaky way."
"Now he's outside the yard and peering in."
"He's coming in."
…
Yang Zhen opened her eyes and saw "Cui Zhongjiu" dressed in green clothes walking in with a smile on his face.
You are so unprofessional! Lao Cui has a dead face all day long. How often have you seen him smile?
Although she knew that this was a lie and something might have happened to Lao Cui, Yang Zhen greeted her with a smile on the surface:
"Uncle Cui, why are you so happy?"
Hou Xian felt a shiver in his heart. He always smiled habitually, but that was not the case with Cui.
However, he had just come all the way and carefully explored the surrounding area, and indeed did not find any hidden guards.
What Cui Zhongjiu said makes sense. We are in the same city and doing business that we are used to, so why bother sending people to protect us every time.
It is estimated that this kid has one or two magic weapons on his body, which is enough to defend against ordinary Xiao Xiaoxiao.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and didn't care whether he would be discovered.
If this kid is ignorant and easy to deceive, we might as well save his life and let him go around the world to find that person named Cui.
If he sees through it, then you can only blame him for his misfortune, hehe.
"I met an old friend today. I was very happy and had a few drinks." Hou Xian replied casually.
"Have you brought anything?" he continued to ask.
"Bring it here," Yang Zhen pointed to the courtyard: "It's in the back room."
Back room? Hou Xian was confused. A few pieces of broken star iron and a small bag were enough. Do they need to be placed in the back room?
He had just explored around the courtyard, and there was no mechanism or formation in it.
On the other hand, in the back room, there are many black sun trees and some inconspicuous scattered items.
It must be hidden in that pile of inconspicuous things, Hou Xian guessed.
He recalled Cui Zhongjiu's past behavior and walked inside with small steps.
Before passing a rockery, he tilted his body slightly and threw a formation disk in the blind spot of Yang Zhen's sight.
This is an isolation formation disk, which can isolate the sounds and spells within the formation and prevent them from being perceived by outside monks.
Although the other party was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child with low cultivation level, he was not suspicious of him for the time being.
But just in case, he still made this arrangement first.
To avoid being discovered if you start using your hands.
However, before he could be proud, he suddenly saw a flower in front of his eyes, as if he had come to a garden.
not good! Hou Xian was shocked, there was actually a formation here.
It's a fantasy array!
Was this guy spotted? He felt regretful. If he had known this, he might as well have just killed this kid with a knife, grabbed his things and left.
However, in these years of fighting in the world, Hou Xian is not a vegetarian, otherwise he would not dare to wade into this muddy water alone.
He quickly took out a jade bottle, poured out a drop of milky white liquid, and dropped it into his eyes.
This is eyesight water, which has the effect of seeing through illusions.
As the eyesight water drips in, the illusion of the illusion array can be seen clearly.
With a sneer, a fireball flew towards a certain stone.
It is the location of the scenery gate of the phantom array. If it is broken here, the effect of the phantom array will be 10% or 10% worse.
However, just when the fireball was about to arrive, the space fluctuated and the stone disappeared.
Someone is in charge of this formation! Hou Xian was shocked.
The living formation hosted by someone is completely different from the dead formation he just set up with the formation disk.
The former can change the formation at any time according to the needs of the battle, and it is much more difficult to break the formation than the latter.
This time it was troublesome, Hou Xian was anxious and strange at the same time.
It's really strange that a teenage boy can actually change formations flexibly?
Does the Wang family have such a genius?
Just when he was thinking hard about how to break the formation, he heard a loud noise and a lightning bolt several feet long, like a white giant python, striking towards him...
