During the conversation between Lin Du and Kong Qian, he rushed to the official road leading to Junshan Paradise in advance to ambush and set up a magic circle in advance.
But after setting up the magic circle, half a day later, Kong Qian suddenly frowned and said, "Maybe the magic circle was set up in vain."
"Oh? What? Aren't you planning to borrow the blessed land of Daojun Mountain?" Lin Du, who was playing with bugs nearby, asked curiously.
Although where they are, it's not a must-see place. If you don’t take the official road, you can completely take a detour from the wilderness to Junshan Mountain.
But normally, everyone should just get over it.
Kong Qian said slightly unhappily: "Guo Lai doesn't take the ordinary road. He bends every time he goes. Not only does he not follow the official road, he doesn't walk in a straight line. He goes around and around several times."
When Kong Qian booked a hotel room to have a drink in the Linjiang private room before, he really took the risk of being noticed by Nan Yi.
The reason why he was willing to take this risk was not only to use "Catch the Wind and Shadow" at close range immediately, but also to collect the auras of Nan Yi and the others.
At the moment, he is using Guo Lai's breath as a matchmaker, "catching wind and shadows" to deduce Guo Lai's whereabouts.
As a result, Guo Lai's actions made Kong Qian speechless for a while.
Once upon a time, Nan Yi, despite the prying eyes of the demon cultivator Gong Shao, went around in circles irregularly, taking three or four hours out of an hour's journey, but he just didn't let Gong Shao guess his destination.
And now, although Guo Lai's general direction was still heading towards Junshan, he kept making irregular turns, which also made Kong Qian unsure of where Guo Lai would pass.
It was impossible for Kong Qian to go to the foot of Junshan Mountain to set up an ambush. After calculating Guo Lai's movement trajectory, he was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to evaluate it.
He was thinking about whether he should do the same if he was on his way in the future. If he was not in a hurry.
Although it takes some time, it is actually effective in avoiding the risk of being ambushed.
Like now, Kong Qian sensed Guo Lai's whereabouts in real time, and although he could be the first to ambush him, he was unable to set up a formation.
The inability to set up a formation and wait for the work can at best cause people to be slightly panicked when they are attacked at first, but it does not give them much of a first-mover advantage.
Kong Qian glanced at the array he had set up, his eyebrows twitching slightly, but it was a pity that the array materials were wasted.
These are all white and yellow gold and silver coins.
Kong Qian took a breath and resisted the urge to curse.
Lin Du stood aside, secretly amused.
Anyway, it was Kong Qian who made a fuss and insisted on setting up the formation. Even if the formation materials were wasted now, it has nothing to do with him, Lin Du.
He enjoyed watching Kong Qian's jokes.
But it was a joke, so Lin Du asked: "Don't just calculate Guo Lai's whereabouts, also quickly calculate Nan Yi's. Don't even know when you were exposed."
The monks in this world, especially the Nanzhou monks, are very thoughtful and they are not fools.
Even if Kong Qian didn't know that he had been discovered by Huang Nian'er a long time ago, he would have considered the possibility that Nan Yi had already noticed him.
So for the sake of safety, he specially invited Lin Du to accompany him, thinking:
Even if Nan Yi has great luck, and his foundation is weak, his combat power can be stronger than the realm, but at most it is equivalent to a monk who has transformed into a perfect monk;
He and Lin Du joined forces, and even if Nan Yi had a plan, as long as he didn't invite Xuan-level monks to take action, or many mortal monks formed a group to surround him, he would have the confidence to escape.
As for the former, Kong Qian didn't think that any Xuan-level monk would be so idle and just accompany Nan Yi to wander around the world regardless of his own cultivation; the latter was unrealistic.
Let’s not talk about whether Nan Yi can invite people to move. If he really invites many mortal monks to move, the movement will definitely not be small.
Therefore, even if Nan Yi used Guo Lai as a bait to secretly plan his plans, he would at most be able to recruit one or two mortal monks without causing too much noise.
Not to mention, Kong Qian also collected Nan Yi's aura and was able to deduce Nan Yi's whereabouts by "catching wind and shadows".
"Nan Yi seems to have a weapon to prevent calculations. I have a vague feeling that if we want to directly calculate Nan Yi's intelligence, we may encounter obstacles." Kong Qian paused and continued, "However, if it is only indirect calculation, it will No problem."
"Indirect calculation purely based on Nan Yi's aura, the distance has not changed, so it should still be in the city. However, I was worried about alarming Nan Yi about the specific location, but I did not make a detailed calculation."
Lin Du raised his eyelids, looked at Kong Qian's right hand that was holding the secret, and said, "As long as you are sure that Nan Yi's aura is genuine and that he doesn't move much, you don't have to calculate Nan Yi's position."
Kong Qian nodded: "Don't worry, the auras I collected on site are absolutely fine."
Lin Du felt relieved after hearing this.
Since Kong Qian, who had a causal relationship with Nan Yi, was so convinced, Lin Du was naturally worried.
After all, Kong Qian would not joke with his own life.
As Guo Lai gradually approached Junshan, Kong Qian and the two of them were constantly adjusting their ambush locations.
Although there was not enough time to bury the formation and make a preemptive arrangement, Guo Lai was still able to be caught off guard.
Both Kong Qian and Lin Du were full of confidence, and they could definitely catch him.
…………
But before Guo Lai set out, Nan Yi followed him.
Nan Yi and others left the restaurant and hurried back to Luo House without looking back.
But on a tree not too close to the restaurant, there was a red-black crow standing on a branch.
Nan Yi sent a message to Huang Nian'er to inform Kong Qian of his disguise in the store today.
After a while, when Kong Qian left the restaurant, he was thinking about what methods he could use after collecting Nan Yi's breath, and hesitating whether to ask Li Ziyin or Lin Du for help.
And these thoughts of his were all seen by Huang Nian'er without any precautions.
Huang Nian'er did not follow Kong Qian, but returned to Luozhai to inform Nan Yi after Kong Qian left her sight.
As a result, Nan Yi not only knew the general method of Kong Qian's "catching wind and shadow" technique, but also had a preliminary understanding of Li Ziyin and Lin Du.
The former was born in the Aoki Sect and was the second strongest person in a small sect. Although at that time, he was already the second strongest person in the world of transformation, which may sound like a small sect that is too shabby, but Li Ziyin followed the path of sword cultivation. Purely in terms of offensive combat power, it is indeed extremely powerful. powerful.
The latter, after practicing the "Spiritual Plague Sacred Code" and combining it with the art of poisonous insects, was able to master both poisons and poisons.
At this time, Nan Yi already knew that Kong Qian planned to set up an ambush on the way to Junshan Paradise, but it was not yet known which helper Kong Qian would call on in the end.
However, Nan Yi thought about it briefly and felt that Li Ziyin had an indifferent temperament and would not give any face to Kong Qian. He was afraid that it would be extremely difficult to persuade him.
He then mainly focused on considering whether Kong Qian would go with Lin Du.
While Nan Yi was thinking and planning, Huang Nian'er rushed to the Jackdaw Tree at night to take stock of the crows, hoping to use his mind-reading powers to briefly learn what the crows had seen today.
As a result, Huang Nian'er discovered that the crows arranged outside the city were missing.
Her heart moved and she rushed out of the city.
Huang Nian'er has the power to read minds. With clever use, he can not only let the crowd of crows serve as his eyes, but also can sense whether he is being spied on by other people's consciousness.
After she made sure that she was not being spied on secretly, she flew to a tree where the missing crows were supposed to be. After some sensing, she found that the crows had been crushed by someone's magic power and had turned into powder and scattered nearby.
But even if it is a powder, there will still be some resonance left.
Although Huang Nian'er didn't have the skill of "catching wind and catching shadows" to make inferences based on intuition, he was well-informed and could detect a faint aura of plague from the powder.
In this way, she knew clearly that the person Kong Qian asked to move was indeed Lin Du.
It's just that... Huang Nian'er was a little confused.
It looked like Lin Du had planted plague on a few crows, but Kong Qian casually disposed of the crow corpses to avoid spreading the plague.
This operation was a bit bizarre, which made Huang Nian'er a little confused.
But she didn't take it seriously, she just told Nan Yi and asked Nan Yi to think about it.
Nan Yi pondered for a long time, mainly considering who to ask for help.
He didn't care whether Lin Du was mean in his attack on the crow.
In the extreme case, it was simply that Kong Qian and the others had already known about Huang Nian'er's existence and guessed that he was planning to use Guo Lai as bait, so they deliberately put on a show and killed the crows indiscriminately.
After all, according to normal logic, if they knew about Huang Nian'er's existence, they would definitely not kill crows indiscriminately, but would pretend to be ignorant.
In this case, if the two of them did the opposite and killed the crows, they could dispel Nan Yi's suspicion.
Of course, it can also be based on doing the opposite, and further doing the opposite.
But this kind of thousand-layer cake-like constant reversal of speculation is meaningless in Nan Yi's opinion.
Anyway, at best, it's just that both parties already know each other's situation and are playing their cards right.
Even if Kong Qian and others knew that he was using Guo Lai as bait, the key to the final outcome would still depend on the strength of the two parties.
Kong Qian asked Lin Du to help out, two monks who had become mortals and achieved perfection. If he had known about Huang Nian'er's existence and acted deliberately, he might have invited another cultivator to achieve perfection.
No matter how much, it is unlikely.
Because Huagui Pavilion is on the bright side, people like Lin Du, who live in seclusion, basically don't show up in Huagui Pavilion, but they can leave secretly.
But other people who show their faces will naturally become known once they leave and don't appear for a long time.
In the same way, although Nan Yi can ask people to help him, such as Su Guang and Du Heng, as the directors of the Finance Department and the Mu Ling Department, their whereabouts are basically visible, and it is difficult for them to leave secretly.
Therefore, Nan Yi has been thinking about who should be invited to help if he wants to use Guo Lai as bait.
At this moment, a consonant butterfly shuttled through the void and flew to Nan Yi's side, lingering around.
Nan Yi's heart moved and he took out the purple gold token representing the position of Mailou Keqing from the Qiankun Ring.
The consonant butterfly acts as a messenger. In addition to transmitting news to other consonant butterflies, it can also pass on its own marked objects.
And the Mailou Keqing token can be contacted by Dong Lingtian's Lingxi Butterfly.
Nan Yi took out the guest token and saw the spirit butterfly fluttering its wings and disappearing. Immediately, a stream of spirit flow flowed from the guest token into Nan Yi's mind.
——If you don’t have a Lingxi Butterfly yourself, it’s equivalent to not being able to send text messages to each other, and you can only receive text messages from specific sources unilaterally.
But it was Dong Lingtian, the master of the Pulse Tower, who happened to be out of seclusion.
After obtaining the remaining half of the Red Mansion inheritance with Nan Yi's help, Dong Lingtian immediately retreated into seclusion. It would take him half a month or several months before he could break out.
But Dong Lingtian was indeed very fast. In just half a month, he completely digested and absorbed the Red Mansion inheritance and integrated it into one body.
After leaving the customs, Dong Lingtian did not make any big announcement, but invited Nan Yimai Tower to meet him.
Nan Yi was overjoyed, knowing that it was God's will to let Dong Lingtian help him, so he immediately set off and quietly rushed to the seventh floor of the Mai Tower.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for your complete path and great supernatural powers. It is possible to break through the realm." Seeing Dong Ling's outstanding temperament, Nan Yi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Maybe it won't take long for fellow Taoist to break through the realm and build the foundation."
"Fellow Taoist's ridiculous praise is all because I relied on my fellow Taoist to help me win the inheritance." Dong Lingtian returned the gift, and was not arrogant. He spoke kindly, "But now that I have succeeded, I no longer have to stay in Lijing to collect the worldly energy." If necessary, I want to take the Mai Tower up and down to the Western Region to confirm my practice and look for opportunities to build the foundation."
"I just don't know if you still need the help of the Mai Tower right now?"
Before Dong Lingtian retreated, he gave Nan Yi a guest token so that Nan Yi could mobilize the Art Tower monks to help him.
Nan Yi first relied on the intelligence from the Mai Tower to successfully convince the officials of the Nine Departments and successfully obtained the legal status of Zhenqi Martial Arts. Then he asked the monks from the Mai Tower to cooperate with Su Guang to quickly spread the martial arts in the capital.
Dong Lingtian realized that Nan Yi would not need the help of the Mailou monks in the future. But when he wanted to take the Mailou monks to the west, he always wanted to say hello to Nan Yi in advance, so he invited Nan Yi to come for a while.
"Thanks to the help of fellow Taoists in Mailou, Zhenqi Martial Arts has now successfully established a foothold in the capital, so there is no need to help spread the martial arts." Nan Yi said politely, "But I am afraid that Yi will have to fight with others tomorrow. I don't know. Maybe the poster can help me out?"
Nan Yi briefly explained the grudge between him and Kong Qian, and said that Kong Qian invited Lin Du to help out and planned to ambush Guo Lai tomorrow.
Nan Yi did not say how he specifically obtained the information.
Dong Lingtian didn't care and responded directly: "It's easy to talk about this. Tomorrow I will follow fellow Taoist Guo secretly."
"However, the Pulse Tower is the transformation of my Taoist tool "Red Dust All-Seeing Tower". Once it is taken away, it will be known to others, but it is not easy to carry. "
As if he was afraid that Nan Yi would think that he was not willing to sincerely help, Dong Lingtian changed the topic and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, even if you don't bring the "Red Dust Vientiane Tower", as long as there are really only two people on the opposite side, I can at least One person remains. "
Dong Lingtian said this with full confidence.
Nan Yi believed it.
Because, although Dong Lingtian did not create a new path, he inherited the Red Tower Dao tradition. With the foundation of a Taoist tradition, and with the blessing, although he still cannot fight beyond the level, he is far better than the same level.
And Nan Yi didn't just ask Dong Lingtian for help.
After Dong Lingtian agreed to help, Nan Yi quietly rushed to find Du Heng.
As a close friend of Tao Zhiming, Du Heng also regarded Nan Yi as half of his junior. Although it was inconvenient for him to help out in person, he was able to lend Nan Yi the "Junxian Suo".
In this way, with the help of Dong Lingtian and the mysterious weapon "Junxian Suo", Nan Yi was sure of escaping unscathed and naturally no longer hesitated.
He returned to Luozhai and told Guo Lai to leave the city tomorrow and deliberately keep making twists and turns, not giving Kong Qian and others a chance to deploy the formation in advance.
