A... stone pillar?
In the upside-down disk, the pupils of the veteran "Mountain Moving" man in gray robe suddenly shrank.
He could clearly see that a gap opened in the "sky dome" above, and a stone pillar with a relief of classical cloud patterns descended from the mouth.
It was like a stone falling on the lake. Immediately, with this as the core, ripples spread out in circles, spreading in all directions.
An extremely powerful aura, like the might of heaven descending.
Taoist Banshan's face trembled, and he recognized the origin of this "aura" and said in a low voice:
"Dragon Vein..."
The old Taoist priest who has studied "Feng Shui" deeply is no stranger to the dragon veins formed by the condensation of luck due to the pattern of mountains and rivers. It is precisely because of this that he can hardly conceal his gaffe.
Below, Ji Ping'an stood with his hands behind his back, without much expression on his face.
This was his real confidence in daring to enter the game this time.
In the past, when he came to the Qianyuan Treasure House, in addition to hiding some resources to break the Nine Realms, he also arranged some "truck cards" for himself.
Just like when you are weak, you need the protection of the "Darknet Killer", and this Tombstone Monkey is also in this category.
In order to protect the tomb, King Zhennan not only killed all the Qi practitioners and disciples who advised him before his death, but also dragged them underground to be buried with them.
They even tried to use dragon veins as the "power core" to create a group of stone figurine guards.
Shi Yuan is the strongest one.
In the past, the Imperial Master came and used the "Peak Great God Hidden Realm" cultivation method to change the Feng Shui pattern here.
At the cost of weakening the defense capabilities of the entire tomb, the stone ape has been strengthened to an epic level.
Giving him a combat power comparable to that of a great cultivator sitting in a well.
The only flaw is that the stone ape relies on the dragon veins of mountains and rivers to exist.
Once outside the scope of the Qianyuan Treasure House, the power will quickly fade.
Fortunately, it's not far from the treasure house.
"The essence of this inversion method is to involve the souls of the enemy and ourselves, and join the fight. It is indeed a good method. If an ordinary well comes, it will not be easy to defeat your technique."
Ji Ping'an shook his head gently:
"However, as long as you see through this, it will be simple and easy. People have souls and can be involved by you. But if I sacrifice the stone ape, a puppet without a soul, how will you respond?"
The old mountain mover didn't answer, because in the blink of an eye, the tomb stone ape had already swung the stone pillar down and smashed it down.
At the same time as the stone pillar moved, the space was like a cracked white paper, with dark gaps emerging.
On the top of the mountain, an old man and a young man were still facing each other.
But the next second, the clouds and mist rippled in the void, and the huge stone ape weighed down like a mountain.
Shi Zhu swept towards the old Taoist priest's brow.
In the upside-down plate, the gold needle's rotation speed suddenly accelerated, and there was a "click" sound, as if something cracked.
The old Taoist priest raised his right hand, stretched out his arm from his big sleeve, spread his fingers, and slapped out a palm.
The sky collapsed.
A strong wind arose.
The Taoist's gray robe trembled rapidly, and then under the strong wind pressure, the fabric cracked. The Taoist who moved the mountain, his beard and hair flying, held the stone ape's stick with one hand.
An illusory "well" around me was spinning crazily.
His face suddenly turned red, all the blood from his body rushed into his head, and thick veins sprouted on his forehead and arms, which was extremely shocking.
It seems to be bearing the weight of a mountain.
"Moving mountains..."
In the distance, Huo Ju and Bing Po, who were surrounded by four people and tried their best to resist, changed their expressions greatly.
Attention diverted.
Yu Yu seized this fleeting opportunity and said:
"Yaoyao!"
Mu Yaoyao understood the idea and stood on the spot, her white and tender hands suddenly kneading. The mountain wind came, and the little girl's baby-fat face was suddenly covered with starlight, her hair was flying, and her skirt was swinging.
A sapphire seal above his head spun and flew up, turned into infinity, and crashed down towards Dong Xuan and the others.
At the same time, at the feet of Huo Ju and Bing Po, grass seeds buried in the soil sprouted, grew wildly, and entangled their legs.
Huo Ju was frightened and furious, and slashed with his long sword, but Huang He blocked it with the Seven-Star Sword.
The chill all over Bing Po's body intensified, but Fang Shijie controlled the mechanical puppet and nailed the corner of his skirt with a sword, interrupting the spell!
"Eat my Taoist Flying Sword!"
Yu Yu stood in mid-air, a little cinnabar appeared between his eyebrows, and his momentum suddenly increased.
Sword blades flew out from her wrist. She twisted her wrist, and the sword blades, as thin as cicada wings, let out a sharp whistle, pulled out the afterimage, and instantly pierced the chests of the two of them.
Huo Ju and Bing Po still maintained their frightened, angry and stunned expressions, and their pupils dimmed at the same time.
On the other side, the old man was sweating profusely, his body was rumbling to the extreme, his body was stooped, his back was bent, and he was in unbearable pain.
Although the tomb stone ape is heavy and huge, if that's all it is, it's effortless for him.
The words "moving mountains" are clear evidence of this.
Ji Pingan opened his eyes and said calmly:
"There is no need to struggle. Although the people in the world are like feathers, millions of feathers cannot be stopped by one person. Even the Shenzang monks cannot bear the contempt of millions of people. How can you move the weight of the national destiny condensed by dragon veins? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath the old Taoist priest's feet collapsed and his legs sank into the rocks.
Then there were a series of "crackling" sounds, and the two legs and feet were broken inch by inch, collapsed, and turned into powder.
In the blink of an eye, only half of the old Taoist priest's body was left, and his skin turned from red to gray. He raised his head with all his strength and stared at the young man in front of him, as if to imprint his image in his heart:
"I……"
The moment he uttered this word, the old Taoist priest completely transformed into a lifelike pottery figurine.
A wisp of illusory soul floated out, glanced at Ji Ping'an, and dissipated in the wind like curling smoke.
at the same time.
With one stick, all his luck was knocked out. At the cost of exhausting his strength, the stone ape's luck also escaped into the mountains and rivers, lost its vitality, and collapsed into pieces of stone, falling like rain.
All this happened very quickly.
The bodies of the two Dongxuan monks fell over there. When Yu Yu came back to his senses, he saw a pile of rocks on the ground.
Jaw-dropping:
"This...is the old Taoist priest dead?"
Ji Ping'an looked calm and stood there, but there was an upside-down disk in his hand. He lowered his head to examine the rotation of the golden needles on the disk and said lightly:
"Not dead, but almost."
Yu Yu stamped his feet anxiously:
"If I had known earlier, if this saintess took action, she would definitely be destroyed physically and mentally."
Ji Ping'an smiled and said nothing. If he insisted on killing, he would not be able to do it as long as he was willing to pay the price.
But at that moment, he changed his mind.
"Have you ever heard of Shen Gongbao's story?" Ji Ping'an said suddenly.
Yu Yu looked confused: "What kind of leopard is Shen?"
Ji Ping'an didn't explain.
Rather than killing a thief who can't make a living, it's better to take a long-term approach and catch the big fish.
Of course, there is another factor:
In his opinion, it is not worthwhile to waste another trump card for an enemy of such a level.
"Sir, there are two star fragments!"
Huang He squatted in front of the two corpses on the ground and waved excitedly.
This time, it was his first battle after being promoted to Po Jiu Queen, and he was able to kill two Po Jiu ancients, which was enough to make him extremely excited.
"Clean up the battlefield, we have to leave quickly." Ji Ping'an turned to look in the direction of Yuhang and said:
"As for the finishing work, leave it to them."
…
At the foot of Qianyuan Treasure House Mountain.
When a group of Jianghu people witnessed the Stone Monkey flying out and flying away through the air, everyone could not conceal their shock and shock.
And when he later saw a faint dragon shape condensed in the clouds in the distance, and felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from there, which was only possible when fighting in the well realm, no one could maintain his composure.
"Walk!"
Jiang Xiaotang's tone was firm and his expression was solemn. Without any hesitation, he led the Jiang family disciples to be the first to flee the scene.
She knew very well that when things got to this point, martial arts people like them could no longer interfere.
It's a blessing to be able to save a life.
"Lord Buddha, the stone ape has left. Should we..."
A monk hesitated and asked softly.
Leaning next to the cracked and dull copper bowl, Buddha, who was covered in blood, had a struggle in his eyes. He finally took a deep breath and cursed:
"The treasure is before your eyes, but it is kept in the heart of the Buddha. Keep the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood. Let's go!"
With that said, he followed Jiang Xiaotang without looking back.
What kind of crappy poem is this? It's incomprehensible... It's the same as the original poster's sentence about loving you and walking alone in a dark alley... The red-tasseled heroine muttered and turned to look at her original poster.
Nangong Wan did not hesitate and said:
"Leave quickly, there will be trouble when the people from the imperial court and the three sects arrive."
As she said this, something suddenly occurred to her. When everyone was far away from the crowd, she heard a voice message:
"You must remember to forget that Shi Yuan let us go! Don't mention it to anyone who asks. If anyone inquires, just say it was good luck. Shi Yuan was attracted by Qiao San, and we hid in the corner. , took the opportunity to sneak out. If anyone leaks anything, he will be dealt with according to the house rules! Remember?"
Hongying and other heroines became alert, realized the seriousness of the matter, and nodded:
"As you command!"
Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look across the mountains and rivers at the turbulent clouds in the distance. As smart as she was, she had already guessed that this incident must be related to Ji Ping'an.
…
Pei's mansion, another courtyard.
A simple pavilion stood there, the cold wind blew by, and the wind chimes jingled in the corridor.
Suddenly, the water in the pool next to the pavilion boiled, and huge bubbles rolled up.
A figure emerged from the water. His hair was as messy as weeds, and his muscles were knotted under his short shirt. Pei Wuju jumped up, stepped in the void, and landed on the ridge of the pavilion in the blink of an eye.
He put his hands behind his hands and looked toward the southern suburbs. In his eyes, he saw gray clouds rolling in the south, and there were faint sounds of dragons roaring and apes croaking.
"Father..." Suddenly, outside the hanging flower door of the other courtyard, the head of the Pei family, who was supporting his sick body, hurried over with the support of Li Xiangjun and asked:
"Could something serious happen?"
Pei Wuju looked fearful and shook his head.
The head of the Pei family tried:
"No big deal?"
"..."
Pei Wuju took a deep look at his son and said tiredly:
"I have no idea."
…
Xishan, Renjinglu.
In a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, Qi Nian, a thin man with long hair fixed with a wooden stick, sat cross-legged and meditated, his eyes closed, and there was no sword around him.
But the entire courtyard was filled with a strong and sharp sword intent.
Suddenly, Qi Nian's eyes opened and he looked suspiciously at the southern mountains. Dozens of miles away, he could vaguely see mountains and rivers rolling in clouds and mist, vaguely showing the shape of a dragon.
"Luck?" Qi Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and raised his hand. He took a piece of thatch from the house behind him and stretched it as straight as a sword.
But soon, when he saw the giant dragon in the clouds dissipating and his luck returning to the mountains and rivers, Qi Nian was startled, gave up the idea of going down the mountain, and muttered:
"It can't be that kid's fault again."
…
…
On the low peak of the mountain, not long after Ji Ping'an and others left.
A sudden bird song tore through the clouds. Luan Yu rode a golden eagle with a wingspan of more than five meters, circled twice in the air, locked on the mountain below, and slowly fell.
The elderly female monk jumped to the ground, raised her right hand to grasp it, and the golden eagle folded its wings obediently, turned into a flash of light, and plunged into the token in the palm of her hand.
Luan Yu raised her head and suddenly stared at some clouds.
I saw a cloud of white mist falling suddenly and hitting the ground silently. The thick white mist spread and spread. The Sanqing Temple Master walked out with a fly whisk in hand and an ugly face.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly their mood became very subtle.
There was a strong sense of familiarity.
That's right... the two of them seemed to have staged a similar drama during the last Four Saints' surprise attack on the Martial Temple.
After a moment of silence, Luan Yu and Master Sanqing spoke at the same time:
"You also..."
The two of them paused, looking embarrassed.
After all, it was Luan Yu who took the lead to break the dullness and said with a serious expression:
"Let's check the scene first."
"good."
Both of them were elders of the Dao Sect and the Beast Control Sect, and they completed the survey of the scene in just a moment.
But instead of dispelling doubts, this only added a lot of surprise and confusion.
After a while, Luan Yu let out a deep breath, and the movement was so large that his chest fluctuated:
"Obviously, we have all fallen into a trap. The real purpose of 'The World' is not the Qianyuan Treasure House."
The Master of Sanqing Temple sighed, feeling a little regretful:
"We still underestimate those 'ancients'. They may indeed be unfamiliar with today's era, and their use of many spells may not be as sophisticated as today's. But many of the intelligence, abilities and wisdom they possess exceed us."
"Humph," Luan Yu was dissatisfied, but did not refute, frowning and saying:
"But apart from us, the other party obviously encountered another force."
She pointed to the bodies of Huo Ju and Bing Po on the ground:
"If I'm not mistaken, the fatal wound on this corpse seems to have been caused by your Taoist flying sword."
The Master of Sanqing Temple was unhappy and raised his eyebrows:
"What do you mean? Times have changed, and we are not the only ones who are good at using flying swords."
The implication is that this matter must have nothing to do with Taoism.
Although the signature technique of Taoism is indeed the flying sword.
But as he said, this cannot infer that the murderer is a member of the Taoist sect.
Not to mention that there are also flying swords among the strange sects in Jianghu. Just speaking of those "ancients" who have returned, many have mastered similar methods.
Luan Yu sneered:
"I didn't mention you, so there's no need to rush to clear up the relationship. I mean, is it possible that another 'Reborn Organization' is involved?"
Sanqing Temple Master frowned:
"But how does this explain the fight between the two sides? If it's the gangsters who take advantage of the gangsters, they will have to wait until the success of Dragon Vein in the human world before taking action."
Luan Yu was silent, this was something she didn't expect to understand.
If both parties in the battle are reborn organizations, then even if there is a personal grudge, from the perspective of maximizing interests, the fight should not be started in advance.
"Perhaps, the enemy was discovered in the human world and was forced to start fighting." Luan Yu thought:
"It's impossible anyway. It's probably a group that acted righteously for the sake of the people and the independence movement."
The Master of Sanqing Temple pondered for a moment and said:
"This is not the only suspicious thing about the matter. There is also the stone ape that suppresses the tomb. Just now you and I saw it from a distance. This stone ape walked out of the Qianyuan Treasure House. This in itself is extremely unreasonable."
Why did a puppet guarding the tomb escape?
Jumping so far to participate in a human battle?
Simply outrageous!
In other words, from an outsider's perspective, the whole thing seems weird and evil.
It's not that the two lack intelligence, it's that they lack too much pre-information, making it difficult to make correct logical deductions.
Luan Yu had a headache and said:
"Perhaps we should go check out the situation of the Qianyuan Treasure House first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly walked from the bottom of the mountain. It was the first female warrior in Jiangnan wearing a black gauze on her head, a military attache's robe, and a black cloak.
Ye Hongling said loudly:
"No need, I just came back from exploring the treasure house."
Facing the curious gazes of the two, Ye Hongling's beautiful face had her eyebrows tightened out of habit, and she said in a complicated tone:
"The interior of the treasure house has been looted a long time ago... There are countless copper coins and silver ingots scattered on the floor of the apse. Judging from the traces, they have been 'stolen' many years ago. At the same time, there are new traces left on the scene, which means that not long ago Before, someone sneaked into the treasure house again."
Luan Yu and Master Sanqing looked at each other.
I just feel like my head is as big as a bucket.
The whole thing is full of weirdness and fog, making it difficult to see the truth clearly.
…
…
Just when the attention of all parties was attracted by the treasure house in the southern mountains.
In Yuhang City, inside a certain section of the city wall, the bricks and stones in the alleyway bulge, and the soil gushes out like a fountain.
Ji Ping'an, Fang Shijie, Yu Yu, Huang He and Mu Yaoyao released their "Escape", checked that no one was around, and quickly changed their clothes.
Ji Ping'an's thoughts changed, and the style and color of his "Nebula Robe", which was black and embroidered with golden stars, changed, making it no different from the cyan gown he usually wore.
The boots under my feet also became ordinary.
"Let's go home and share the treasures." Ji Ping'an said with a smile.
The eyes of the other four people were bright, and strong joy surged in their hearts.
This kind of feeling of making a huge sum of money secretly, killing the enemy by the way, and leaving only the "big men" of all parties in a fog, is something Yu Yu and others have never experienced before.
Not only did I not feel tired, but I felt extremely stimulated and refreshed.
Only Fang Shijie expressed disdain:
"This kind of small scene, my god...general, has experienced a lot in the past."
After saying this, Fang Shijie still turned to look at the Imperial Master and said worriedly:
"There won't be any trouble in the future, right? For example, someone will track it down?"
Ji Ping'an looked as usual and said:
"do not mind."
Not to mention, there is too much "pre-information" in this matter that only they have.
From the perspective of the imperial court and other forces, it would only feel weird and difficult to explain.
Even if this group of people had great imaginations and suspected that Ji Sichen was related, it was just suspicion. Even if they really came to find him, they would most likely blame Jian Zheng for everything.
Let the eldest disciple take the blame.
Seeing how calm he was, Fang Shijie also breathed a sigh of relief, looking forward to immediately starting to digest resources, strengthen his meridians, and strive to truly restore his cultivation instead of using a puppet to transition.
Ji Ping'an is also looking forward to it.
It's not about the resources, but it's about touching the two newly obtained "star fragments" in my arms that I can't wait.
I would like to know if there will be any new changes once the two pieces are successfully integrated.
Everyone had different thoughts and quickly blended into the crowd, swaggeringly riding back to Yi Jingzhai.
However, just when Ji Ping'an pushed open the side door of the shop, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he saw an old man in white robe sitting leisurely on his wicker chair in the quiet courtyard, holding a scroll and reading.
At this time, he put down the book and looked over with a smile.
Qin Tianjian was smiling and saying: "You are back."
