The two left in good spirits and returned in despair.
Xu Huaigu still didn't know which thunder pool Cui Ku was refining, so not only the thunder pool, but also several surrounding mountains were sealed off as forbidden areas, and the guards were extremely tight, and the two of them could not enter at all. So the two of them had to compromise and thought of a way, they simply used their flying swords, and used their swords to go to the clouds to overlook the thunder pool, but they could only watch a few times from a distance, and when they got a little closer, there was purple clouds. The elders of the sect came to stop him.
The two of them still didn't understand why, but they had no choice but to go back after hearing from people from the Zixia Sect that the Lei Pond was a forbidden area and could not be approached now.
However, although he did not see Lei Chi, this was the first time that Yu Qin wielded a sword by himself. Standing on his own flying sword, it feels natural and it is completely different from standing on Xu Huaigu's flying sword. Therefore, she was quite happy and kept chatting with Xu Huaigu on the way.
The two walked slowly and leisurely, and the day passed leisurely. When they returned to the wing behind the Zixia Sect's main peak, it was almost dusk. Yu Qin then said that he would go to the peak to watch the stars at night, and Xu Huaigu naturally agreed happily. But before that, they had to send a letter back to Qingfeng Valley and explain to Xie Qingyun that the two of them were going to stay at Zixia Sect for a few days. Otherwise, they would never come back. I was afraid that Xie Qingyun would think they were Something unexpected happened in Zixia Sect.
As soon as Xu Huaigu sent the messenger flying sword, the two of them quietly waited for the night to fall. However, before nightfall, another person arrived.
There was a knock on the door of the room. Xu Huaigu had a guess and asked: "Who is it?"
A female voice came from outside the door and said, "It's me."
When Yu Qin heard that it was Murong Di, she quickly stood up and walked forward to open the door. Xu Huaigu sat leisurely in his original seat, looking towards the door with a smile on his face.
Yu Qin opened the door and bowed slightly to Murong Di. She nodded and walked slowly into the room.
Xu Huaigu stood up, took a chair and placed it next to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Elder Murong, please sit down."
Murong Di was a little surprised, secretly thinking that Xu Huaigu's attitude changed so quickly, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, tonight's transaction mainly depends on whether he agrees or not. But she still didn't show anything on her face and sat down with a slight smile.
Yu Qin also sat down, so the three of them sat together.
Murong Di asked kindly: "You two should be used to living here, right?"
Yu Qin smiled and replied: "It's very good. It's much more beautiful than where we used to live."
Murong Di smiled and said: "These palaces were originally used for visitors from the imperial court, so they are a bit luxurious. Now the imperial court and our Zixia Sect are too busy taking care of themselves, let alone any formal exchange of visits. In fact, It’s a waste.”
Xu Huaigu nodded slightly.
Murong Di glanced at Yu Qin out of the corner of his eye, then at Xu Huaigu, smiling slightly but saying nothing. Xu Huaigu naturally understood and said bluntly: "The elder came at night, presumably to discuss the deal I talked about today? There is no need to beat around the bush, but it doesn't matter."
Yu Qin also looked at her with wide eyes curiously. Murong Di saw that Xu Huaigu had no intention of avoiding Yu Qin, and he understood in his heart, so he smiled and said: "It turns out that Xu Daoyou is a straight-hearted person, so I won't say more, let's discuss the matter."
Xu Huaigu nodded and motioned for her to speak.
Then Murong Di opened his mouth and said: "Today's business, I, Murong Di, have something to ask of Fellow Daoist Xu. This deal may not be big, but it is definitely not small, even if it is small. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Xu to think carefully before making any plans. Although Fellow Daoist Xu, You are young, but I know that you have a stable temperament and are committed to your promises, so I thought of making a deal with you. Once I promise you to me, I must keep my word, otherwise I would rather not mention this matter with Daoist Xu."
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "The elder has such high demands on me since he opened his mouth. I wonder if the reward is enough?"
Murong Di said seriously: "Don't worry, as long as Fellow Daoist Xu can promise me, as long as it is something I have, Fellow Daoist Xu can just ask."
Xu Huaigu, who was serious at first, laughed again when he heard this and said: "The elder's tone is a bit loud. To put it bluntly, what if I want the elder's life?"
But Murong Di did not laugh, but still said resolutely: "As long as Fellow Daoist Xu can agree, I'll do it."
Seeing that her tone didn't sound like she was being fake, Xu Huaigu quickly put away his smile and sat up straight. Yu Qin was also shocked. What kind of deal could make Murong Di even risk his own life? Can Xu Huaigu accept such a deal?
Murong Di said slowly: "The demon clan will soon be at the foot of the mountain. I am just a dying person. If my life can be exchanged for this deal, it will be worth it."
For a Nine Realm cultivator who has been famous for many years to say such words can be said to be heavier than a mountain. Although there was indeed a gap between the two before, this is not the time for jokes.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help being serious. He said solemnly: "The elder's words are serious. If I have the ability to do it and feel that this transaction is suitable, I will definitely not go back on my promise. I am afraid that I cannot afford such a heavy trust."
Murong Di said: "If you can't afford it, who can? It's not that I'm flattering you. Your future prospects will probably be infinitely better than those of us old monks. I've taken a fancy to you, so don't refuse." I’m not capable enough.”
"Elder, please tell me the truth."
"I want to entrust Fan Xuan to you."
This sentence came out of her mouth so calmly, but it hit their ears like thunder. Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows suddenly and almost stood up from his seat in shock. Yu Qin was also shocked and dumbfounded.
Murong Di glanced at the two of them and said, "Why, are you so surprised?"
Xu Huaigu glanced at Yu Qin out of the corner of his eye and saw that her expression was very strange, so he hurriedly said: "Elder Murong, this is not a joke!"
Murong Di said seriously: "I'm not joking, this is my plan."
Yu Qin looked at him meaningfully, Xu Huaigu stood up quickly, shook his head and said, "No, let's not talk about this! It's really not possible!"
"So decisive? Is that really not possible?"
"No! I already have a Taoist companion!"
"Oh?" Murong Di glanced at Yu Qin, as if he understood something, and suddenly smiled and said, "But I only said that I would entrust Xuan'er to you, and I didn't say anything about being a Taoist couple or not." Qian Qianqian尛哾
This time it was Xu Huaigu's turn to be stunned. He asked, "Isn't that what entrustment means?"
Murong Di shook his head and said: "What I mean is that I want you to take her away from Zixia Sect and let her follow you from now on."
Xu Huaigu paused, thought for a moment, and said: "I understand what you mean. I just feel that staying in Zixia Sect can only lead to death, so I want her to leave, right? Then why follow me? She is now There are also six realms, just let her leave East Fuyao Continent by herself."
Murong Di shook his head and said: "No, she has too deep feelings for the sect and will not be willing to leave alone. What's more, if she leaves alone, wouldn't she become a rootless wild cultivator? This is absolutely not allowed. "
This was the deep-rooted prejudice of the Immortal Family on the Mountain against wild cultivators. Xu Huaigu frowned.
Murong Di continued: "Actually, I don't think wild cultivators are bad, it's just that I have lived for so long and I know very well how difficult it is for wild cultivators. Without anyone to rely on, walking alone in the world, I don't know where to go. God brings disaster, and it is very common for her to die in a foreign country like this. I hope she can rely on someone, at least there will be someone to help her and support her when she encounters difficulties."
Murong Di said in a sincere tone: "Zixia Sect will disappear from this world soon, and she needs other support. She has no Taoist companions. I have raised her since she was a child, and I treat her like a daughter. Xu Huaigu, I hope You can understand me."
"I understand you, but this is not a small matter. I have to think about it carefully."
"I know, I won't let you do this for me in vain."
Murong Di took out two scroll-like things from his sleeves and slowly placed them on the table. Xu Huaigu was shocked when he saw it. He opened his mouth slightly and said in surprise: "Could this be a scroll?"
Scrolls are similar to talismans, and they are also a ready-to-use means. It's just that the scroll can store far more spiritual energy than the talisman, and so can the power. What's more important is that the skill of making scrolls has been lost for a long time. The scrolls in the world today are one scroll less than one scroll, so they are extremely precious. Usually only extremely rare monks will use them as a means to keep the bottom of the box. I remember that when Chen Jingshan was strangled, Xu Huaigu, Bai Xiaoyu and others were surrounded by the monks who came from around. Bai Xiaoyu was desperate and used the scroll to escape. The value of that scroll will not be less than that of an immortal weapon, not to mention that the scroll can only be used once.
When Murong Di saw that Xu Huaigu recognized the scroll, he also nodded and said: "Yes, these are exactly two scrolls. They are the blessings I received when I was young. I have not been willing to use them for decades. One of them is extremely lethal. The Thunder Technique Scroll can severely injure monks in the Ninth Realm with one blow, and there is no chance of survival in the Eighth Realm. The other is an escape scroll that can tear apart space and forcefully escape to a place hundreds of miles away, where no one can stop it. Since you have heard of the scrolls, you should also know the value of these two scrolls, and I am very sincere."
Xu Huaigu pursed his lips and stared closely at the two scrolls on the table. To be honest, he really wanted it in his heart, but if he accepted the scroll, he would have to be Fan Xuan's backer in the future. If he takes her with him, how many complications and troubles will arise along the way? Xu Huaigu hesitated.
He and Fan Xuan didn't have much friendship at all. It was not easy for the two to resolve their hatred, let alone any friendship.
Xu Huaigu pondered, weighed for a long time, and finally put his hand on the scroll, pushed it towards Murong Di, shook his head and said: "I saw the elder's sincerity, but I can't accept it. Please find someone else."
Murong Di did not take the scroll, but exhaled and continued: "Since Xuan'er came back from the border, she told me a lot about the border. She also said that Daoyou Xu once saved a man from a tan snake. She died. Regarding this matter, I also have to thank Daoist Xu."
"We are all comrades-in-arms, so there is no reason why we should not save our lives. Elder, please be polite."
Murong Di continued: "Xuan'er said that the method you used to save her was a very mysterious technique. It was like using thousands of golden threads, changing them in thousands of ways, and then you were able to catch the snake in time. .”
Xu Huaigu's eyes suddenly changed.
"She also told me a lot of details about those golden threads. As I listened, they turned out to be very similar to a Taoist technique. If my guess is correct, what Taoist Xu has in his body should be the Taoism of the Middle Earth. Huashan’s golden shuttle talisman, right?”
Murong Di looked into Xu Huaigu's eyes.
Xu Huaigu's face turned cold, and he asked: "I heard what the elders mean, is this a deal that cannot be concluded, and is it threatening me?"
Murong Di smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I am not coercing you, I am just telling you about this matter. If my guess is correct, this golden shuttle talisman should have been passed down to you by Sun Xiang, right? Since that guy can give you the Golden Shuttle Talisman, I can also give you the Five Thunder Heavenly Technique. I'm not bragging. If it weren't for the dispute over Taoism, our Zixia Sect would be slightly inferior to Taihua Mountain, and today we are the holy land of Taoism. It should be in our Zixia Sect. Even though we have been deprived of our reputation by Taihua Mountain, the killing power of our Zixia Sect's Five Thunder Heavenly Techniques is by no means inferior to the Golden Shuttle Talisman Technique. Two scrolls, plus this, Is it enough?"
Xu Huaigu frowned more and more and hesitated.
The benefits brought to him by the Golden Shuttle Talisman were indescribable. Not only did it give him an unexpected trump card, but it also saved his life in Feiyuzhou. But now that the Five Thunder Heavenly Technique, which was equally lethal, was placed in front of him, he was really moved. What's more, the Five Thunder Heaven Technique is a secret method of the Zixia Sect and has a legitimate origin. In the future, there will be no worries about being recognized when used in the future like the Golden Shuttle Talisman Technique.
The Five Thunder Heavenly Technique plus two rare scrolls, as long as he takes one more person with him on the road, the conditions offered by Murong Di are irresistible.
Xu Huaigu pondered for a while, and then sent a message to Yu Qin to ask Yu Qin's opinion, but she only said to let Xu Huaigu make his own decision, and she would support it no matter what. So Xu Huaigu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then just follow what the elder said."
Murong Di smiled with satisfaction. She handed the two scrolls to Xu Huaigu and said, "Then you promise me that as long as you are still here, you will never see Fan Xuan die in front of your eyes. You must protect her. This is The first thing is. Secondly, take her to see more different scenery and be nice to her. I have no other requirements."
They are all reasonable requests. Xu Huaigu nodded and said: "Okay. Since I agreed, I will naturally keep it in mind. Elder, please rest assured."
"As for the talisman of the Five Thunder Heavenly Law, it's late at night and I'm inconvenienced today. I'll come back to you tomorrow."
Xu Huaigu nodded and asked: "Even Fan Xuan herself doesn't know about this, right? Does the elder also need to seek her opinion? What if she doesn't want to follow me?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange it."
So Xu Huaigu nodded, accepted the scroll, and the deal was concluded.
Whether it's the relocation of the clan in Qingfeng Valley or Murong Di's business, it's all selfish motives before the catastrophe. Even Xu Huaigu himself has selfish motives, so what else can he say?
