Kong Qian left and came back, returning to the battlefield.
However, before Dong Lingtian and Nan Yi could take action, Kong Qian immediately shouted: "I am willing to surrender, and I hope these two fellow Taoists will spare my life."
He was afraid that if he spoke a beat too slowly, Nan Yi and the two would be struck by thunder.
As for Nan Yi and the other two, their mana was flowing, and when they were about to use their methods, they suddenly heard Kong Qian begging for surrender, and saw that he was ready to be captured, so they withdrew a little of their mana and suppressed their methods for the time being.
Dong Lingtian ordered the Twelve Golden Hairpins to store up the ecstasy formation but not release it, only locking Kong Qian's energy.
Kong Qian accepted it calmly.
Now that he has been crucified by "The Return of the Soul", it actually doesn't make any difference to him whether he is locked by the energy of the magic circle again. He can't escape even if he wants to.
Nan Yi smiled and said: "Now that I have come to beg for surrender, fellow Taoist, I am afraid that my fellow Taoist Lin Duquan will feel chilled if he speaks like this."
"Besides, since we have unresolved karma and are fighting to the death, how can I spare you?"
Kong Qian immediately replied: "My Taoist friend, what you said is wrong. Although Lin Du and I are in the Huagui Pavilion, we are not from the same sect. We have no friendship. We can only be regarded as accomplices, and we work together for profit."
"After all, if we were from the same sect, Lin Du wouldn't use "The Return of the Soul" to arrest me. "
"As for the cause and effect between the two of us, it is actually a treacherous agreement between the two of us. There is no hatred at all. I am willing to give up my natal Taoist weapon to resolve this cause and effect, and then beg my Taoist friends for mercy."
"As long as my fellow Taoist spares my life, I will change my mind. From now on, I will only follow my fellow Taoist's lead and be willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
Hearing this, Nan Yi raised his eyebrows.
Dong Lingtian also looked at Nan Yi, feeling that Kong Qian was right, and waited to see how Nan Yi would deal with it.
After all, although Kong Qian and Lin Du looked embarrassed today, it was because Dong Lingtian was the master of the Taoist lineage, and his background was far superior to ordinary people. They sacrificed twelve Taoist weapons to set up a magic formation, and they were able to easily win.
If Nan Yi had invited other monks, even the Immortal Sect monks to help out, he might not be able to guarantee the kill of one of them today.
As for Kong Qian, as a real monk who has perfected his transformation from mortal world to mortal world, once Nan Yi takes him under his command, it will be the icing on the cake, not to mention adding wings to a tiger.
Dong Lingtian thought so.
But Nan Yi raised his eyebrows, silently using his "Full Healing" talent to ensure that he was completely calm and not be fooled by Kong Qian.
When Kong Qian left and came back, looking like he was ready to be captured without any precautions, Nan Yi's "Dongzhen" talent finally quietly discovered Kong Qian's true identity.
[Name: Kong Qian. 】
[Ziography: spiritual practice. 】
[Rank: Yellow grade top grade. 】
[Chronicles: Dali Dynasty - Huagui Pavilion monks; Lu County - remnants of the Kong family. 】
[Birth age: Forty-one years and nine months. 】
[Shouyuan: about one hundred and eighty-three years old. 】
[Realm: Refining Qi Realm·Transforming from the ordinary to perfection. 】
[Taoist instrument: Shengde Jiaohua Sutra. 】
[Kung Fu: Yaoyan Taidian. 】
[Methods: Catching the wind and catching shadows; destroying bones with gold; bewitching the mind with evil words; hurting the mind with evil words; making a cocoon as a prison; living together in the same boat; stirring up the wind and controlling the current; making arbitrary decisions about right and wrong; Li Daitao stiff. 】
There is a saying that although Kong Qian could not enter the Zuowangxian Sect due to identity issues, he had to use the "Yaoyan Taidian" originally used by the Kong family as a reference and minor study as the main method, but it was by no means considered in the structure of the Tao. Difference.
Its nine major methods cover exploration, attack, bewitchment, curse, defense, healing, escape, spell breaking, and life preservation. There are basically no obvious shortcomings.
At the same level, even if Kong Qian's combat power is slightly inferior to that of the Immortal Sect monks, he is still similar to the disciples of the side sects and far better than the ordinary casual cultivators.
For example, right now, Dong Lingtian, as the leader of a Taoist lineage, can easily kill Kong Qian or Lin Du by relying on Taoist weapons.
But when Kong Qian begged for mercy and wanted to surrender, Dong Lingtian was unknowingly influenced by Kong Qian's "devious words" and felt that what Kong Qian said was reasonable and well-founded.
Of course, this is also because Kong Qian did not have the intention to forcefully seduce him. He just used his "devious words to deceive the heart" and his eloquence to try to convince people with reason and persuade Nan Yi and the two to spare their lives. On the contrary, it became more and more invisible and mysterious. Unconsciously.
Unfortunately, Nan Yi's "Dong Zhen" talent was the first to see that Kong Qian had the ability to confuse people's hearts. He could only use "Full Healing" silently to ensure that his thoughts would be as normal and he would not be deceived and would not be easily persuaded by Kong Qian.
Seeing that Dong Ling's will was moving, Nan Yi was still pondering, and Kong Qian didn't feel any difference. Because Nan Yi, as a causal party, would have been more difficult to convince than Dong Lingtian.
While Nan Yi was pondering, Kong Qian continued to speak: "Huagui Pavilion actually has a plan in Lijing City, which is an opportunity to directly enter the upper level of Xuanjie. If fellow Taoist is willing to spare my life, I will definitely make Huagui Pavilion's plan come true. tell."
Ten Thousand Infants Spiritual Pill, if you take it, you can go straight to the top level of Xuan level. However, this elixir requires the compatibility of birth dates and horoscopes. Even if there is a successful elixir, it is impossible for Nan Yi and others to take it.
In fact, Kong Qian didn't even dare to tell in advance what the Ten Thousand Infants Spiritual Pill was, for fear that Nan Yi and the others would kill him on the spot because they considered themselves to be righteous monks.
Now he just wants to coax Nan Yi and others to swear a promise to spare his life first, and then reveal the details of Huagui Pavilion.
As a monk, especially a righteous monk, he does not practice the way of deceit, and the most taboo thing is to go back on one's word, break one's promises, and break one's oaths. Even if he reveals the details of the Ten Thousand Infants Elixir by then, Nan Yi and the others will be wary.
Even if these three concerns may not really make Nan Yi stay, it can at least make him go from a ten-shot death to a narrow escape.
Kong Qian secretly sighed in his heart. In the current situation, even if he tried his best, he could only get a slim chance of survival.
"High grade Xuan level? How is that possible?" Dong Lingtian was surprised.
Nan Yi was also very confused.
If you want to rely on the plan of the mortal world to reach the upper level of Xuan level in one step, if you still have a few people from Huagui Pavilion together, you may have to sacrifice all of Li Jingcheng.
At this time, Dong Lingtian was slightly moved and wanted to ask Kong Qian for details. However, due to Nan Yi's presence, it was difficult for him to overwhelm the guest, so he had to hold back his thoughts.
Nan Yi was not affected by "devious words that deceive the mind", but became increasingly calm.
He knew that Kong Qian just wanted to save his life. Even if he was left to his own devices in the future, it would be better than death.
If he had to follow the script, even if he didn't want to forgive Kong Qian, he would find another way to kill Kong Qian after he deceived Kong Qian to explain clearly.
However, in practice, you must first cultivate your mind. Unless you are following the path of deceit and shamelessness, this kind of dishonest tactics will only damage your mind.
Rather than knowing the specific plans of Huagui Pavilion, Nan Yi felt that killing Kong Qian was more important.
Because, if fate is there, he will learn about Huagui Pavilion's plan sooner or later.
But to get entangled in whether to kill Kong Qian or to keep him alive would be detrimental to the Taoist conscience, but it would be unsightly.
Therefore, Nan Yi changed his mind and quickly decided to ignore the bait thrown by Kong Qian and directly kill him.
Of course, in order to make the killing easier and more sudden, Nan Yi kept a calm expression on his face and continued: "Looking at your posture, do you want me to promise to spare your life before you are willing to tell the truth?"
Nan Yi clicked his tongue and pretended to be disdainful: "In my opinion, this fellow Taoist is completely without sincerity."
Kong Qian pretended to be frightened and said in a trembling voice: "I hope fellow Taoist will forgive you. Today, fellow Taoist is a swordsman, and the path is like fish. Life and death are all determined by the thoughts of fellow Taoist. Without the golden words of fellow Taoist, Xiaodao is really frightened in his heart——"
In the middle of Kong Qian's words, Dong Lingtian, who received a message from Nan Yi, suppressed his curiosity and suddenly activated the Twelve Golden Hairpins Ecstasy Formation:
"Nine machines, everything in the world is like a dream and will never be left behind."
The golden light was like a dream, instantly breaking through Kong Qian's defenses, as if all his memories for the rest of his life were sealed, bringing him back to the day corresponding to the sealed memory in the deepest part of his heart, that is, the day when the Kong family was suddenly attacked by the Lu family. one day.
Nan Yi used his sword energy to pierce Kong Qian's head, shattering his soul and killing his vitality.
At the moment of death, Kong Qian returned his light and broke through the illusion of Dong Lingtian's magic circle.
But his soul was broken, and he could only stay awake for a few breaths. He only had time to murmur: "Why are you in such a hurry..."
Kong Qian was really confused and surprised.
He was indeed mentally prepared for a narrow escape, but the narrow escape in his eyes was that after Nan Yi found out the specific details of the Ten Thousand Infants Pill, he would get angry and break his promise and kill him anyway.
He never expected that Nan Yi would disdain the opportunity to directly enter the upper level of the Xuan level. He didn't even intend to lie to him, and immediately killed him.
With a hint of admiration or regret, Kong Qian completely died.
While his soul was shattered and his vitality was shattered, Kong Qian used his magical power to temporarily unlock the Qiankun Dharma of his own Qiankun Ring, causing all the objects in the ring to scatter in the turbulent flow of space, leaving Nan Yi untouched.
However, the contents of the Qiankun Ring can be cleared with one click. The Qiankun Ring itself, as well as the natal Taoist artifact "Holy Virtue Education Sutra" kept close to Kong Qian's body, were not destroyed by Kong Qian due to the sudden attack of Nan Yi and the two men.
——Taoist tools can be stored in the Qiankun Ring, but generally speaking, in order to practice and cultivate at all times, the natal Taoist tools are always carried with you; and the yellow-level Taoist tools have the effect of making your wishes come true, and the Xuan-level Taoist tools can be stored in the Nine Palaces in the body. , it is convenient to carry it with you.
Nan Yi found a volume of magic power and found the "Shengde Jiaohua Sutra" from Kong Qian's body.
Dong Lingtian glanced at the side, and before Nan Yi could speak, he took the initiative and said: "I can just take the body of Ming Chan. This Taoist tool focuses on education and is not in line with my path. Brother Nan can just accept it."
Nan Yi is not polite either.
Dong Lingtian's family has a great cause, and there is no shortage of Taoist tools that cannot be used. Moreover, Ming Chan is very special. As a weapon refining material, it can be said to be the best, not bad at all.
Since Dong Lingtian took the initiative to be humble, Nan Yi followed the trend and stopped being polite.
He looked carefully at the "Shengde Jiaohua Sutra" and sighed: "It can be called a treasure of luck, but it is too overbearing. As the saying goes, full of tricks will harm modesty, but this thing dethrones the monopoly of hundreds of schools of belief, and instead... Not beautiful.”
For Kong Qian, who practiced alone, this thing was like worthless food, but it had more of a commemorative significance.
But in the eyes of Nan Yi, who pioneered Zhenqi Martial Arts, this thing was equally useless.
Although he didn't know what happened to the Confucius family back then, he quickly realized that if he used the "Holy Virtue Teaching Sutra" to help gather his faith, it would only lay the foundation for eating alone.
At that time, the Kong family, as the family of the governor of Kong County, was able to use the "Shengde Jiaohua Sutra" to suppress the clan for eight hundred years before the chaos broke out.
Nan Yi felt that his strength in Zhen Qi Martial Arts was sufficient for his own practice, but he did not want to rely on the "Holy Virtue Teaching Sutra" to reach a higher level.
From this point of view, it seems that the only way to sell this thing is to sell it or exchange it someday.
Nan Yi glanced at Kong Qian's Qiankun Ring again.
It has a capacity of two square meters and the market price is thirty gold, which is slightly inferior to the three-square capacity Qiankun Ring that Nan Yi obtained from Gongye Qingtian.
Since Guo Lai himself already had a Qiankun Ring with a capacity of two squares, Nan Yi accepted the new ring and prepared to hand it back to Yan Qingyun.
However, although Kong Qian emptied the items in the ring before his death, while not leaving his wealth to Nan Yi, he also banished the processed Wan Ying Ling Dan to the turbulent space.
However, Nan Yi still had a sense of connection left in the ring, and could faintly sense a strong sense of resentment.
He thought of Lin Du's huge resentment when the Qiankun Ring was broken, and suddenly frowned.
"The resentment is so heavy, it seems that Huagui Pavilion must be a demon sect; the so-called chance, I am afraid that there is no way to escape the demon sect's methods."
At this time, Kong Qian was dead, and without the hidden interference from his "devious words and deceiving mind", Dong Lingtian's thoughts became clearer and he came to his senses: "The demonic cultivators are so rampant that they dare to cause chaos in the capital."
Nan Yi shook his head: "The plan of Huagui Pavilion does not seem to be a blood sacrifice to mortals. I have been paying attention secretly, and I only know that they have been busy promoting the proposal of choosing a concubine from the emperor recently."
"Even if they are demon cultivators, they can't convict them even if they tell the Demon Slayer Division and Wu An Division with empty words."
Lin Du and Kong Qian both disposed of the Qiankun Ring when they died, covering up their accomplices who were still in Lijing City without leaving any evidence.
Nan Yi could only let the monks he knew believe in him, but he couldn't seriously report Huagui Pavilion's evil intentions.
But he didn't bother to report it.
Although Nan Yi was a casual official in the Ministry of Education, he had little contact with the Ministry of Armed Forces and the Ministry of Punishment. He believed that the monks from the Military and Punishment Departments were not useless, and would not be completely plotted to death by Huogui Pavilion, nor would they need him as a minor monk to uphold justice.
Therefore, after Nan Yi killed Kong Qian, he did not rush back to the capital to report Huagui Pavilion. Instead, he continued to accompany Guo Lai to the blessed land of Junshan, similar to seeing him off at the high-speed rail station in his previous life.
Dong Lingtian also said that he would go with him, saying that he wanted to buy some weapon refining materials in Junshan Paradise to prepare the body of Ming Chan.
This time, because they no longer had to make deliberate bends along the way, the second half of the trip was much easier for the group of people.
When they arrived at the Junshan Paradise, Guo came to see the Taoist boy on duty and expressed his desire to go to the Jade Paradise; Dong Lingtian wanted to buy some weapon-refining materials.
The Taoist boy on duty first contacted the Jade Blessed Land for Guo Lai and agreed to activate the teleportation formation in half an hour. Then he called a Junshan disciple and led Dong Lingtian and Nan Yi to the core area of the Blessed Land to be responsible for selling materials to external parties. Go to the palace.
It’s hard to say where Xianmen Cave will be, but the side gate occupying the blessed land will usually operate many industries. In addition to teleportation, they generally have excellent cultivation skills, such as Qingyu Blessed Land is good at alchemy, Junshan Blessed Land is good at weapon refining, etc.
Although Nan Yi had no intention of buying weapons-refining materials, Dong Lingtian wanted to buy them, so he followed him and prepared to gain some knowledge.
However, it was clear that Junshan disciples were leading the way ahead, constantly unraveling formations. Nan Yi was walking, but after crossing the river, he suddenly lost track of Junshan disciples and Dong Lingtian.
He stopped subconsciously.
If you accidentally get lost in someone else's formation, it is best to wait in the distance and wait for the Junshan disciples who discover that you are missing to find him.
However, Nan Yi felt that he was not accidentally lost.
