Far away from the east side of the capital, on the bank of the river, there is a small wooden building with only three floors. It is slightly away from the bustling city. Bamboos and willows are planted around the small building, giving it a somewhat quiet and elegant feel.
On the main entrance of the small building, there is a plaque with the words "Huagui Pavilion" written in red lacquer. On both sides of the door, there is a couplet. The upper couplet is "It is difficult to paint people and scenery," and the second couplet is "Poetry Mountain". Poetry can be poetic."
The handwriting is delicate and graceful, but due to the different weights when writing, the red lacquer has slightly different shades. Under the light of the sky, it creates a different sense of layering, like mountain peaks and rippling water. It seems that there is infinite style hidden in the handwriting.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Huagui Pavilion is a study that sells calligraphy and painting calligraphy. It is full of ink and paper. The bookshelves on the first floor have a dazzling array of calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and ancient books; and then there are several tea rooms on the second floor. Enjoy tea, appreciate paintings, or practice calligraphy.
In the eyes of the monks, Huagui Pavilion, like Mai Pavilion, is a place for selling information.
Lin Ye went out today because he wanted to come to Huagui Pavilion to inquire about the latest information about Nan Yi after returning from Yingzhou Island.
But before he could arrive at Huagui Pavilion, just a few steps out of Lin's house, Lin Ye met Dugu Jian walking towards him.
In fact, normally speaking, even with Nan Yi's magical power from across the air, allowing Dugu Sword to successfully kill the Twenty-Three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Swords, he would only be able to kill Lin Ye 70% of the time.
If Lin Ye remained vigilant, focused on guarding, and used his magical power to protect himself at the first opportunity, he might have a chance to escape with his life and survive serious injuries.
It's a pity that Lin Ye saw that Dugu Jian was just a Zhenqi warrior and was filled with disdain, so he didn't take Dugu Jian seriously at all.
In this way, when Dugu Jian suddenly drew his sword, he hit the Heaven-Destroying Jedi Sword Twenty-Three, which was far faster than Lin Ye's subconscious escape technique "Xiaoyaoyou". He was caught off guard before the "Xiaoyaoyou" was launched. Lin Ye died immediately.
As for the news of Lin Ye's death, it spread to hundreds of people. When it reached the ears of Su Guang or the monks from the Department of Education, it also quickly reached Huagui Pavilion.
On the third floor of Huagui Pavilion, there is a hall with seven seats. In addition to the upper seats, there are three on the left and three on the right, divided into two columns.
Huagui Pavilion Qisu gathered in the hall on the third floor to talk about this matter.
"Lin Ye is dead."
The first person to speak was the master of Huagui Pavilion, the first of the seven places.
This person was male and female, with a pure face. He was tapping the table with a feather fan in his hand, and spoke softly and casually.
Among the other six people, a red-haired woman was the first to answer: "Lin Ye is narrow-minded and can't hold his temper. He was demoted just yesterday morning, and in the afternoon he went to provoke Su Guang and Nan Yi. He deserves this fate." .”
"It's just a pity. I originally wanted to try to win over Lin Ye and let him go to Qi County to take over the Yuan family. But in just one day, he was beheaded by a mortal martial artist with a sword."
Hearing this, a middle-aged Taoist priest in tattered Taoist robes sneered: "They are all warriors who cultivate Zhenqi. If the warriors took action, I'm afraid it was Nan Yi who used it secretly. If Nan Yi didn't help, don't worry. No matter where he is as an old warrior, he cannot kill Lin Ye with a sword."
The first male-female pavilion master unfolded his feather fan and gently fanned the wind while sighing: "Since Lin Ye is dead, all the arrangements that I planned to use to win him over have to be abandoned. What will happen next to the Yuan family in Qi County , we still have to find new candidates to take over.”
In the thirteenth year of Zhengde, two monkeys became famous in Qitian City, Qi County.
One is a strange bronze monkey, transformed from the tears of red wedding candles. After being hunted by the martial security supervisor monks of Qitian City, he used magical powers that can only be used once in his life. He planted the seeds for the martial security supervisor monks in the city to strictly investigate the Yuan family and put the Yuan family on the ropes. The obsession with the law is like the steel seal of thought and the contract of Taoism.
There is also a monkey, who was originally a mortal monk, but after the death of the bronze monkey, he drank the monkey spirit wine and turned into a monster with a heart of ape. This monkey demon used the magical power of the monkey mind to gather the anger of people and turn it into a long stick. He forced his way into Qitian City and beat the Yuan Mansion. and was sucked into the spiritual realm.
The monkey demon was originally an unknown cultivator, but after this incident, he was called the Jiuzhi Taoist.
The Yuan family has a great cause. Even if everyone in the Yuan family is taken away by Jiu Zhi Taoist, it is expected that the entire Yuan family will not be wiped out in one fell swoop.
However, the obsession with the Bronze Monkey's magical power caused the entire Wu'an Security Supervision to strictly investigate the Yuan family. After the Monkey Monster beat the Yuan Mansion with the monkey demon's stick, they quickly found evidence of the Yuan family's crime of abducting children, collecting and cutting children, and completely annihilated the Yuan family.
The destruction of the Yuan family also caused Huagui Pavilion to lose its supplier in Qi County.
Originally, after learning that Lin Ye was demoted to Qijun, he felt that Lin Ye had evil intentions. Huaguige Qisu was still thinking about how to win over Lin Ye so that Lin Ye could take over the Yuan family's mess and return to Huagui from Qijun. Supplied by Guige.
As a result, Huagui Pavilion had just made a plan to win over and was waiting for Lin Ye to join the gang, but Lin Ye died.
The master of the Huagui Pavilion was speechless. After sighing softly, "Since Lin Ye is dead, let's let this go." He continued: "But before Lin Ye died, he asked us to collect information about Nan Yi. I wonder how this matter is progressing now? What if it's still going on? After careful investigation, let’s give it up as well.”
Although the master of Huagui Pavilion is not afraid of Nan Yi, he does not want to provoke Nan Yi for no reason.
After all, including the previous conviction of killing Du Yuanfu in Nantian City, Nan Yi has already done so twice in the city regardless of the rules.
As the saying goes, those who are bold are afraid of being stunned. Although Huagui Pavilion is a demon sect, it does not want to get involved with Nan Yi, who treats rules as if they are nothing.
And compared to the last time he killed Du Yuanfu by himself in Nantian City, Nan Yi this time was able to stay out of the matter and used other means to kill Lin Ye.
If they really want to provoke Nan Yi, the master of Huagui Pavilion feels that as demon cultivators, they will suffer even more.
Therefore, since Lin Ye, who had placed the order with them, was dead, the master of Huagui Pavilion decided to stop and not investigate Nan Yi's information in detail.
However, the middle-aged Taoist in charge of this matter looked strange and said: "Nan Yi's specific details need to be investigated carefully, but if you want to give up, we may not be able to do it."
"Huh?" Hearing this, the other six people looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest wearing tattered Taoist robes with confusion.
Since more detailed investigation is needed, it means that Huagui Pavilion has not had too deep contact with Nan Yi. Under such circumstances, as long as he no longer deliberately tries to find out the details of Nan Yi, why can't he stop?
The middle-aged Taoist spread his hands and said helplessly: "I just started to investigate Nan Yi's details, and I found that there is an unending cause and effect between him and me."
Huagui Pavilion, as a demon sect, is not a demon sect that founded a sect, but purely out of profit or emotion, it gathered seven monks who had no regard for mortal life and were willing to refine the Ten Thousand Infants Spirit Pill for their own practice.
This Ten Thousand Infants Elixir is not as simple as sacrificing 10,000 babies and collecting a trace of the innate energy of newborn babies that has not yet dissipated to refine the elixir.
Only 10,000 babies whose birthdays match the person who takes the elixir must be used to refine the Ten Thousand Infants Spiritual Pill, so that the person who takes the elixir can directly enter the upper level of the Xuan level without any hindrance.
However, although the magical effect of the elixir is mysterious, the required elixir materials are difficult to collect.
If you want to collect the Huagui Pavilion Qisu by yourself, even if you can use secret methods to seal newborn babies and slowly stock up on goods, it is not that easy to accumulate enough 10,000 babies whose birthdays match your own.
Therefore, several monks who jointly obtained the method of the Infant Pill eventually established the Huagui Pavilion together. On the surface, it was an intelligence organization in Lijing City, but in fact it was a demon sect that used the method of the Infant Pill to collude with various counties. Family.
They gave the lowest method of infant elixir, allowing some colluded families to refine the blood elixir using the internal organs of young children, so that the heirs of the family who originally had no qualifications for cultivation could grow their spiritual roots, awaken their innate supernatural powers, and take the opportunity to step into the realm of cultivation. road.
But the most important elixir for alchemy requires these families to provide Huagui Pavilion with a newborn baby with a specific birth date in order to exchange it.
Obviously, it is a fantasy for Huaguige Qisu to collect 10,000 babies with specific birthdays and horoscopes on his own.
But by colluding with aristocratic families and asking them to search for supplies in various counties, they were able to gradually stock up on sufficient quantities.
As for the aristocratic families who colluded with Huagui Pavilion, out of the habit of maximizing profits, most of them would develop an industry of kidnapping and selling children and collecting and cutting raw materials.
For example, the Yuan family in Qi County, or the Zhao family in the original Chu County.
Because the situation in each county is different, some county governors, such as the governor of Qi County, were completely unaware of this. It was not until the Jiuzhi Taoist beat Qitian City with a stick that they later discovered the Yuan family's crimes.
Some county guards, such as Chu Kuangsheng of Chu County, with the help of Huo Ziliang of Liudao Pavilion, also known as Gongye Qingtian, who has the "Human Words Paper", although they cannot obtain evidence of the Zhao family's crimes, they can roughly know the Zhao family's crimes.
So when the Eternal Bright Fire Cult invaded Nantian City, Chu Kuangsheng simply took advantage of the situation to uproot the Zhao family and take action on the Zhao family.
Then let’s talk about the Ying Dan method.
The Ying Dan method is divided into three levels. The best one is naturally the Ten Thousand Infants Elixir. By taking ten thousand babies whose birthdays are consistent with those who take the elixir, you can seal the secret method in a state that is less than one year old, and then extract a trace of the innate energy that has not yet dissipated from the bodies of the ten thousand babies. , refine it into an elixir, and take it to reach the top level of Xuan level without any hindrance.
The lowest level, also known as Zhushengxuedan, is made from the internal organs of hundreds of children under the age of nine, mixed with alchemy, and refined into a pill. Taking it can grow spiritual roots and awaken the innate supernatural powers.
The ones in the middle are Pure Yang Weidan or Pure Yin Weidan, which are refined with the blood essence and blood of a thousand children under the age of six who live in a yang year, a yang month, a yang day, a yang hour, or a yin year, a yin month, a yin day, a yin hour. Made into a pill, taking it can increase spirituality, and can be used to transform magic power and improve Taoism.
It’s just that in this world, being called a strange pill naturally comes with a price. It will be haunted by the resentful souls of the thousands of children who made the pill, constantly impacting the mind, and over time it is easy to have inner demons, which can be temporarily curbed by taking another strange pill—— That is to say, those who take the Pure Yang Wei Pill first can then supplement it with a Pure Yin Wei Pill, allowing the resentful and remnant souls of the two children to counterbalance each other and temporarily silence them.
Of course, temporary silence means treating the symptoms but not the root cause. As long as you have taken the strange pill, it will be difficult to stop.
However, living people will not be choked to death by urine, and monks will not be completely bound by the strange price.
The monks who deduced the method of infant elixir created a new secret technique, which can take out the residual resentful soul of children and turn it into the elixir guide of various life-blood elixirs.
As long as the remnant souls of resentment of children are refined into various Shengxue pills, and then others take them, those who take Pure Yang or Pure Yin Wei pills will no longer have to worry about the future.
The reason why those who take various blood-generating pills can grow their spiritual roots is precisely because those who take the pills actually mix the residual souls of resentment into their own souls and strengthen their souls, which in turn can grow their spiritual roots and awaken their innate supernatural powers.
In this case, although the consciousness of the person taking the pill will not be greatly affected, in the end the soul is still impure. Even if you awaken with innate magical powers after taking the pill, your cultivation qualifications are not very good. You can only practice with the help of the family's property, and you can barely surpass ordinary casual practitioners.
That's why Yuan Huangzhai, the head of the Yuan family in Qi County, thought that his son and grandson, who had taken various life-blood pills and entered Taoism, were useless sons and useless grandsons.
In short, Huagui Pavilion Qisu used the method of infant elixir to collude with aristocratic families in various counties, and relied on the aristocratic family's supply. Although he has not refined the Ten Thousand Infants Elixir yet, he has refined a lot of pure yang and pure yin elixirs, and in With the help of the Wei Dan, they have all cultivated to the point where they have reached the stage of transformation. They just need to wait for the Ten Thousand Infants Spiritual Pill to be in place, and then they can go straight to the upper level of the Mysterious Level.
As for Huagui Pavilion Qisu, their names and surnames are:
The master of the pavilion and the first seat is Nan Junyue, who has a male body and a female appearance. He likes feather fans and silk scarves. He is also good at refining elixirs, and all the strange elixirs are refined by him.
The second is Kong Qian, who was born in the Kong family of Lu County. Because the Kong family was destroyed when he was young, he once begged for a living, so he got used to wearing rags and a tattered Taoist robe to walk around the world, and he regarded himself as a saint and moral education; his cultivation has With the skill of catching wind and shadow, he is usually responsible for drawing lists for the Gui Pavilion to collect intelligence from others.
In the third forest, there is an old man in purple with one eye and a hunchback. He is practicing the "Spiritual Plague Scripture". He has wrinkles and age spots all over his body and a foul odor.
Sizuo Li Ziyin, a boy in white who looks no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, is actually over a hundred years old and is the second strongest person in a small sect. He has an indifferent temperament and only wants to improve his cultivation and strength, but because of the encounter he suffered in his early years. Demonic cultivators have secretly damaged their foundation, and it will be difficult for them to make any progress until they reach the stage of metamorphosis;
In order to become stronger, Li Ziyin finally chose to join Huagui Pavilion. Not only did he achieve a complete transformation with the help of Chunyang Guidan, but he also counted on the Wanying Lingdan to reach the top level of Xuan level in one fell swoop.
Wu Zuo Zhongli is a woman in green clothes, with stunning appearance and natural charm. She has her own body fragrance and practices the art of enchantment. She was sold to a brothel to study art when she was young. When she was sixteen, she was about to bid for an oiran auction. She was captured by Nan Junyue. Save, so I admire Nan Junyue.
However, Nan Junyue is a man and a woman, and he often can't tell whether he is a man or a woman, so he is not in the mood for love. He rescued Zhongli and taught him his charm skills, just to send Zhongli into the palace to be Emperor Li's concubine.
The six-seat Fox Qianque is actually a fox demon, but he has the magical power of a thousand faces and is ever-changing. He can change into the appearance of any other person. Even his breath is the same. Therefore, he can move freely within the territory of Dali without having to escape overseas; Huagui Pavilion would occasionally cooperate with Kong Qian to spy on intelligence with the help of his Thousand Faces Magical Power.
Seven Mingluan, a red-haired woman who practices the art of bewitchment, is good at grasping people's hearts and flattering her, but she often makes lies; she is cunning in nature, and her sweet words are only meant to beguile and exploit others.
In Huagui Pavilion, Mingluan Duo is responsible for identifying candidates, hooking them up, luring others into joining the gang, and collecting babies with specific birth dates for Huagui Pavilion.
The number of Ten Thousand Infant Spirit Pills is second only to Pavilion Master Nan Junyue among Qisu.
Therefore, in order to stock up on elixir materials as soon as possible, Mingluan wanted to re-collude with suppliers in Qi County as soon as possible.
However, after the Yuan family's crimes were exposed and Qi County's supply of goods was cut off, Nan Junyue was in no hurry to find suppliers in Qi County for the sake of stability. It has been six years since then.
It wasn't until Lin Ye was demoted to Qi County that Nan Junyue relaxed and let Mingluan try to win over Lin Ye.
As a result, I just prepared to win over Lin Ye yesterday, but I received the news of Lin Ye's death this morning.
