late at night.
A small bungalow in a remote place.
Shi Lingzhen's five fingers turned into claws and pressed on Li Si's head, causing his face to become distorted and full of pain.
It lasted nearly half a quarter of an hour.
After reading the relevant memories and confirming that nothing was missing, Shi Lingzhen hurriedly let go.
His pretty face turned pale in an instant, and his brain felt dizzy and tingling. He immediately threw a pill into his mouth and sat down cross-legged to do his exercises.
Li Si, on the other hand, collapsed on the ground, his face was as white as paper, his eyes were blank, and he made a "hehe" sound in his mouth, and he was unconscious.
A full stick of incense passed.
Shi Lingzhen opened his eyes and took a long breath. He still felt that his sea of consciousness was swollen and filled with memories that did not belong to him.
This is the reason why Zhong Yan doesn't search for souls himself, and why most monks often threaten him with 'soul searching' but don't do anything about it.
Monks are different from ordinary people. They have opened up the sea of consciousness and have extraordinary memories. Even a young Qi refining monk has a memory that is not comparable to that of ordinary people and is very complex.
The gap in consciousness is large enough, so it is not easy to backlash, but the sequelae after soul searching are more or less, and it takes a lot of time to get rid of them.
Shi Lingzhen got up and walked quickly to the next room, groped under the wooden bed for a while, took out four talismans, and the vitality surged in his palms, completely destroying them into powder.
Then she returned to the outside room, looked at Li Si on the ground, and pointed out the sword lights one after another with an angry look.
Really cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
For a long time, Shi Lingzhen sat softly on the ground after venting his anger, pursed his lips and his chest heaved.
At this moment, she was still terrified inside.
There are two more in Zhong Yan’s hands!
And the scenes of the previous confrontation must have been imprinted on them.
"what to do?"
Having witnessed the destruction of the Xue Mansion, she knew very well that Zhong Yan was cunning and insidious, more difficult to deal with than a hundred Li Sis, and there were foundation-building masters like the woman in purple beside her.
"I didn't make any requests."
Shi Lingzhen's eyes flickered, and he secretly wondered: "Is it really just to help brother Donglai?"
After thinking carefully for a while, her face softened, she lowered her head and reached out to touch her abdomen, with a smile on her lips, and murmured in her heart: How could I hurt Brother Donglai...
Suddenly, her pupils dilated and another thought came to her mind.
"How on earth did he find out?"
"I just came home to sit for a while."
His brain was spinning rapidly, and after thinking for a while, Shi Lingzhen's delicate body trembled, his face turned pale, he bent over and covered his face with his hands, whimpering.
She thought of a terrible fact - maybe brother Donglai had already discovered the clue.
…
…
early morning.
Tongfu Inn.
After continuously refining the spirit stone for a day and night, Zhong Yan opened his eyes and exhaled.
The vitality in the body finally returned to its peak state.
He silently muttered "Breakthrough" in his mind and scanned the panel.
[Realm: Ninth Level of Qi Refining (247w/480w)]
[Exercise: "The Great Sun Treasure Sutra" (Intermediate 12/5w)]
The upgrading of the skill, the effect brought by the intermediate level compared to the elementary level, directly reduced the required experience by 200,000.
good.
Zhong Yan, who was used to it, smiled and was no longer very excited. According to this speed, he should be able to break into the foundation building after this year.
Yuan Ziyi, who noticed something outside, knocked on the stone door and pushed in.
"Husband, it's almost time."
"good!"
Zhong Chang stood up. In the living room, Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu walked forward quickly and shouted "husband" with a smile.
Yuan Ziyi said: "Why don't we get rid of this place? Fifth Sister will definitely let us live there."
Zhong Yan glanced at Li Jingqiu and nodded.
Qifeng had a mansion in Jingcheng. Originally, he didn't want to get too close to them, but he was going to Mangdang Mountain later and it was inconvenient for Li Jingqiu to follow them, so it was safer to stay there.
The four of them went out, and a man and woman who were talking in the yard turned to look at each other. They were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but show a little embarrassment and waved their hands to say hello.
"What a coincidence, the four of you live here too!"
It was the two fledgling young monks in Lianhua Town who had already realized that they had been blackmailed, and that the monks were in the same group as the old woman.
"It's fate..."
Zhong Yan returned the gift with a smile.
Although they are young, with a bit of youthfulness on their faces, they are only sixteen or seventeen years old, but they both have the eighth level of Qi refining. They once reported that they were from the Ning family in Xucheng, and the young man's name was Ning Que. The girl's name is Ning Zhe.
After a few polite chats, the four of Zhong Yan paid their bills and left the inn, called a monster carriage and headed to the central area of the city.
Yuan Ziyi looked outside for a while, put down the curtain, looked at her husband's face, and said, "Husband, how could you tell at a glance that there is something wrong with that old lady?"
Jiang and Li followed.
Zhong Yan blinked: "..."
He found that Yuan Ziyi's reflex arc was very long, and smiled and said: "I did this myself when I was a beggar in the early years..."
It was Zhou Yun who lay down on the ground. He and several older children made moral accusations and caused public outrage. Huo Donglai was responsible for guarding the retreat.
All we could do was blackmail foreigners into doing business. After a short period of time, word spread and we could no longer continue.
The beast carriage was much faster than ordinary carriages. It ran on the spacious city road for more than two hours and stopped in front of a mansion.
"Four distinguished guests have arrived. This is Wangqi Mansion."
"Thanks."
Jiang Huan paid the fare with his prayer beads, and then looked at the gate of the mansion. On the gilded red paint plaque, the word "Wang Qi" was written with flying phoenixes.
There is no guard at the door.
The four of them walked straight in, which was a regular tic-tac-toe courtyard. Not far away, they saw two mortal girls holding kettles and watering the flowers.
One person stopped, took out the talisman and recited the spell.
One person put down the kettle and ran forward quickly, bowing and saying: "I have seen the four adults. Master Jinxian is going out and will be back soon. Please come inside!"
Passing through the corridor and passing through the courtyard, you can see a large mansion that looks deserted. Except for the two maids, no one else was seen.
When they entered the third courtyard, a woman in a green dress rushed over. From a distance, she smiled and shouted: "Seventh Senior Sister!"
Zhong Yan heard the message from Yuan Ziyi: "This person's name is Bai Feifei, a registered disciple of Qifeng. Like my medicine boy, he was picked by the senior sister when he first entered the sect. He has been working with the fifth sister since he was a child..."
Yuan Ziyi smiled softly: "Feifei, long time no see."
"Senior sister is even more beautiful!"
Bai Feifei had a bright smile, a baby face, and looked a little lively. He blinked and looked at Zhong Yan and said with a smile, "This must be my brother-in-law. He is indeed as handsome as the legend says! He is as talented as my senior sister!"
Then she solemnly said, "Feifei has met my brother-in-law!"
"Zhong Yan." Zhong Yan returned the greeting with a smile.
Bai Feifei nodded to Jiang Huan and Li Jingqiu and led the way inside: "Senior sister, brother-in-law, please come in quickly. Fifth senior sister has just left and will be back soon."
Yuan Ziyi asked: "Where is Sixth Senior Sister?"
"Sixth Senior Sister has gone to Zhuyuan. This gathering is the highlight of the Taoist Ceremony. It was organized by Mr. Tang and Sixth Senior Sister. Many young talents were invited to communicate. Fifth Senior Sister and I will stay here to wait for you and your brother-in-law."
"Has it started yet?"
Bai Feifei nodded: "That's right. The Bamboo Garden opened early in the morning, but it doesn't matter. The time set in the invitation is at midnight, and it will last for three days. The ancestor of the Tang family came to give a sermon on the last day."
Zhong Yan's heart moved and he asked aloud: "What did the ancestor of the Tang family preach?"
Bai Feifei looked at him and said with a smile: "Yes, brother-in-law, he is the seventh ancestor of Tang Sanyuan's lineage. He has been in the foundation-building Dzogchen realm for sixty years and has never attacked the core formation. Rumor has it that he is the most promising to become the Yan Kingdom's No. 1 Five golden elixirs.”
Zhong Yan nodded secretly, having learned from Huo Donglai that Tang Sanyuan was from the Tang family's golden elixir ancestor. There were only a few people in this lineage, so Tang Sanyuan, like Peng Wanli, was not very old but had a very high seniority in the clan.
"Senior sister, brother-in-law, I will arrange for you to stay here first and have a short rest. When fifth senior sister comes back, we will go to Zhuyuan. Senior sister, do you think that is okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Junior Sister Feifei."
