Several Taoist priests on duty outside the Yi Luo Hall were shocked when they first saw this scene. They hurriedly mentioned the Zhen Qi in the Qi Sea, only suspecting that Shen Cheng or Zhao Tong had gathered a crowd to knock on the door.
But after the clouds dispersed, he could clearly see the figures escaping from the light.
Their faces fell, and after muttering a few words, they all dispersed.
"I am a poor Taoist, Yin He. I have something important to do, and I need to see Brother Xiao. I would like to ask you all, dear brothers, to pass the news on to me."
Among the people who came, a Taoist leader took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and smiled.
"Brother Yinshi... Sanlang is meeting with Senior Brother Aiqu. You'd better wait for a while."
Although the boss in his heart was reluctant, he knew that Yin Hexuan had brought people here at this time, obviously wanting to share the benefits.
But due to the clan name of the Qi Wu Yin clan and Yin He's Dongxuan cultivation level.
Several monks from the world on duty outside Yiluo Hall, look at me and I look at you.
Finally, one person couldn't help but reluctantly raised his hand and laughed dryly.
"Ai Qu...is this person here too?"
Yin He's heart sank slightly.
He saw that the face of the person who was answering him was quite familiar. With a quick thought, he recognized this person's identity and laughed:
"I wonder if your honorable master is Xie Liang of the Changyou Xie family? My honorable master and I met at the Jintai Dharma Assembly seven years ago. When we meet today, your honorable master's demeanor is even better than before! It's like thunder and wind. Such majesty makes me feel ashamed!"
When the disciple named Xie Liang saw that Yin He actually recognized his own name, even if it was just a compliment, he couldn't help but feel happy and said:
"Brother Yin Shi has also heard of my reputation as Xie Liang?"
"Of course, didn't Brother Xie defeat several masters of the Qiao family in Mishan with a white-feathered sparrow at the Jintai Dharma Assembly, and he also earned ten bottles of Cuihua Pill because of it?"
Yin He put his hands in his hands and smiled slightly:
"Yin still remembers this matter!"
Under these words, Xie Liang's expression softened a lot and his attitude became much warmer.
Ignoring the looks of several of his companions on duty, he invited Yin He, Ji Yuetan and others into a side hall. Serve tea in person.
And after Yin He took out a bottle of Red Yi Dan.
Xie Liang had no scruples and recounted everything he had heard during the past few days on duty. Finally, with Yin He personally seeing him off, he happily left the side hall and passed it on to Xiao Xiujing. .
"It's just a Zifu, and his status in the Xie family is not very high. Why do you condescend to flatter this idiot?"
After Xie Liang left, he saw Yinhe still standing at the door of the palace, watching each other from a distance.
Ji Yuetan frowned deeply and said displeasedly:
"You gave up a bottle of Red Yidan for this? Is it worth it?"
"Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways...Brother Ji, you need to change your arrogant temper, otherwise I think you will suffer a big loss in the future."
Yin He glanced at him helplessly and said:
"Besides, that Red Yi Pill is my personal treasure. When I let it go, even I, the rightful owner, didn't say anything. You are just a spectator, why are you so anxious?"
In the practice of the orthodox immortal way, if you want to achieve the second level of Dongxuan and "absorb the five essences", you need to find the essence of the innate five elements and fill the dragon and tiger furnace cauldron, so that it can turn from emptiness to reality and truly reside in the body.
However, the essence of the innate five elements is not easy to find.
Even if the family has a great business, it will never be able to support so many people.
Even those who come from the direct lineage need to go through a lot of hard work and examinations before they can receive one or two gifts, and far from everyone can share it.
That being the case.
When practicing in the Dongxuan realm, one can only resort to the next best thing and find external elixirs and elixirs belonging to the acquired five elements to fill the dragon and tiger cauldron.
But this way.
On the road base, it will inevitably be slightly inferior.
The bottle of red Yi that Yin He just presented is the great medicine of the fire element. Although it is acquired, it is also extremely precious.
Ji Yuetan is currently on the threshold of absorbing the five essences, and is often troubled by the spiritual resources.
Seeing Yin He generously gifting a bottle of elixir to a nobody in just a few words.
Even though Red Yidan is not his property.
I feel really distressed...
"It's just a bottle of Red Yi Dan, just throw it away. Why bother! If you and I can enter the underground palace, the opportunities we will get will be far greater than this bottle of Red Yi Dan!"
Yin He waved his hand proudly and said generously.
But seeing Yin He, the rightful owner, didn't take it seriously.
Ji Yuetan was too lazy to say anything. He just shook his head and changed his topic:
"Forget it, but you have a good relationship with Xiao Sanlang. In your opinion, will Xiao Sanlang lend the water and fire well to let us enter the underground palace?"
As soon as these words came out, Yin He frowned for a long time and remained silent.
"It's difficult, it's difficult. Previously, we were pretending to be unwilling to surrender to him, Xiao Sanlang, but now we are forced by the situation, and we want to beg him..."
After pondering for a long time.
Yin He finally laughed bitterly and said helplessly:
"If I were Xiao Sanlang, I'm afraid I'd be unhappy, so there's no guarantee that I wouldn't be able to figure it out."
There are now four fire wells in the cave.
The number of supporters of sects and families is evenly split.
There is no need to mention Shen Cheng and Zhao Tongchu.
Even though all the cultivators may appear to be disciples of the Fourth Academy, Yin He and others are from aristocratic families after all.
Unless you want to separate yourself from the family, no matter how much you covet the opportunity in the underground palace, you must not join forces with them.
As for Liu Guan and Sima Mingye, Yinhe didn't want to bow to them because of an old grudge.
Count it down like this.
If Yin He and others still want to enter the underground palace, they can only ask Xiao Xiujing for a favor.
After Ji Yuetan finished listening, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly his eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice:
"It's up to you to do whatever you want. This is the right thing to do. But I'm not afraid of Xiao Sanlang's manipulation. I'm just afraid of the well of water and fire..."
"Well of water and fire?"
Yin He doesn't know why.
"Just now, you heard what Xie Liang said. In the past few days, several refiners have come to look for Xiao Sanlang, Ai Qu, Qiao Heng, Wei Tongbai... Ruona Shuihuo Well has a limited number of people who can enter and leave. What do you mean? , how will Xiao Sanlang consider it?"
Yin He couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and said half convinced:
"Although he is from the side sect Chunyang, he is still a big shot who has achieved the Pure Yang Dao Fruit. How could the restrictions left by Patriarch Huoxia be so unbearable? Brother Yuetan, what you said is a bit unrealistic."
"I hope so."
Ji Yuetan shook his head.
The two of them were speechless after that, just sitting in the side hall.
I don't know if Xiao Xiujing deliberately made things difficult or something else.
It wasn't until two days passed that Xie Liangcai came in again, bowed and smiled, and called Xiao Xiujing to greet him.
"You can sit here peacefully for a long time, and don't move around."
Yin He first looked at Ji Yuetan, then gave a few instructions to the people following him, and then followed Xie Liang towards Yi Luo Palace.
We walked all the way through the halls and rooms until we reached the Golden Bridge.
The two of them could not walk far enough when they saw a male practitioner with a feminine and beautiful appearance, like a stunning woman, quietly sitting cross-legged on the large stone platform.
Not far from his side.
It's the well of water and fire that Yin He thinks about day and night...
Seeing footsteps approaching, Xiao Xiujing opened her eyes slightly, with an inexplicable smile on her face and said:
"Brother Yin Shi, we haven't seen each other for several months, but Brother Shi is still as charming as ever. And this Brother Ji Shi, although you and I are meeting for the first time, Xiao has heard of Brother Ji Shi's name for a long time."
Seeing Xiao Xiujing greeting him like this, neither Yinhe nor Ji Yuetan dared to neglect, and hurriedly raised their hands to salute, saying they did not dare.
Without waiting for a few words of greeting, Xiao Xiujing went straight to the point:
"I know the purpose of these two worldly brothers. We are both from aristocratic families and share the same spirit. We should help each other. It is easy to talk about borrowing water, fire and wells."
Yin He was overjoyed, but he was still wary and did not forget to bow his head and say:
"Sanlang is really righteous! But after entering the underground palace, how should we divide the gains?
Since Saburo was so generous, we are not ungrateful people. We should repay him and never let Saburo suffer! "
"Four six."
Xiao Xiujing smiled slightly.
Yin He and Ji Yuetan were shocked when they heard this, and secretly cursed Xiao Xiujing for being greedy!
This is the opportunity to enter the underground palace.
You actually want to spend 40% of your profit?
After going through many hardships, Xiao Xiujing was advantaged in vain, and he was allowed to enjoy the benefits. This was hard for anyone to accept!
However, the current situation was stronger than the people. Xiao Xiujing took possession of this well of water and fire, which undoubtedly sealed the lives of several people.
If you still want to enter the underground palace to compete for fortune, you will undoubtedly ask for his head.
"Is it too much to hand over 40%? I still hope-"
Yin He suppressed the anger in his heart and carefully organized his words. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Xiujing.
"On the contrary, Brother Yin Shi, give me 60%."
He laughed, raised his finger and tapped a little, and said:
"And you, keep 40% for yourselves..."
The expressions of Yin He and Ji Yuetan changed suddenly, and a stern look flashed in their eyes.
Xiao Xiujing turned a blind eye to the two people's reactions and smiled to herself:
"In the past few days, many people have come to look for me. What I said to them was always the same. Of course, if the two brothers feel that the regulations are too harsh..."
That’s it.
He gently raised his sleeves and made a farewell gesture, the meaning of which was self-explanatory.
"..."
The other side was silent for a long time, completely silent.
After a long while, Yin He said coldly: "Xiao Sanlang, what a trick! Yin has learned a lesson today!"
"If Brother Shi was willing to come to help me earlier, how could I be able to speak today?"
Xiao Xiujing shook his head and sighed.
But after dripping essence and blood on the legal deed and writing down his name, Yin He's face was as dark as water, and he no longer had the calm and carefree attitude before.
He did not say goodbye to Xiao Xiujing. He turned into a wave of water and flew into the air. He escaped from the golden bridge in an instant and disappeared.
Ji Yuetan sighed secretly and raised his hand. Just as he was about to drip blood essence on the deed, he was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Xiujing.
"Brother Xiao, what does this mean?"
He frowned.
"I heard that Brother Ji Shi was once kept by the noble Master Ji Fakai and taught him for a period of time. I wonder if this news is true?" Xiao Xiujing asked.
"I am not the only one. At that time, the Ji family had a hundred disciples, and they were all taken by Uncle Jiu to teach them. It's a pity that my temperament is not that good, and none of them can catch Uncle Jiu's eyes."
Xiao Xiujing suddenly asked about this incident.
Ji Yuetan's eyes darkened slightly, but it was not a surprise, so he spoke truthfully...
…
When Ji Fakai was competing for the seat of Daozi, he was repeatedly frustrated in front of Jun Yao. No matter how he tried, he could not reverse the situation. Instead, he watched Jun Yao take over the Zhouxing Palace.
Frustrated, perhaps also to avoid the edge temporarily.
Ji Fakai also returned to the Ji family, simply staying out of sight.
And years after that.
Xu came from the instruction of the leader of the Ji clan.
Many young people of the Ji family were sent to Xuanhua Island where Ji Fakai lived, and were taught and practiced by Ji Fakai.
At that time, Ji Yuetan's grandfather had not yet lost power, so he spent some favors to include Ji Yuetan.
However, none of those people could win the favor of Ji Fakai, and Ji Yuetan was no exception and ended up hastily.
And to this day.
Recalling that he had practiced on Xuanhua Island, it had become a hidden pain in Ji Yuetan's heart.
If he had been more diligent back then and had Ji Fakai take care of him, no matter how bad the situation was later, he would not have fallen into the situation he is in today. He was forced by the situation and could not even act independently...
"Oh I got it?"
Xiao Xiujing pretended to be surprised, then looked directly at Ji Yuetan, smiled slowly, paused briefly, and said:
"It's a pity, Brother Ji Shi. I think, if you could gain the respect of Master Ji Fakai back then, I'm afraid my father--"
"Xiao Xiujing!"
Ji Yuetan shouted violently, her anger uncontrollable:
"This nonsense, what on earth do you want to say?!"
Xiao Xiujing's expression remained unchanged:
"I know that Brother Ji Shi has been greatly favored by others and has difficulty in acting independently. I also know that the person who bestowed favor on you is the True Lord Tianpan of the Ji family.
This person has a grudge against Chen Yushu for taking away his wife and killing his son... Before you entered the cave, you were ordered by True Lord Tianpan to crush Chen Heng's bones and raise ashes here! "
Ji Yuetan was stunned when he heard this and was speechless for a moment.
"And coincidentally, my brother Qiao Yan died at the hands of Chen Heng. If he killed Qiao Yan, he would put my face on the ground."
Xiao Xiujing's voice suddenly turned cold:
"Brother Ji Shi, I just want to tell you that if you can kill Chen Heng and bring his head back to me... not only will I not charge you any money, but after the event is completed, I will also give you money and help. You have achieved the state of 'taking in the five essences'!
how! Could you please answer me? "
After a long moment of silence, Ji Yuetan smiled bitterly and held up his hands:
"...Xiao Sanlang, I was going to kill him, but your words have strengthened my heart!"
"Chen Heng has a sword and a quiver by his side. I wonder what the Lord Tianpan gave you so that you can kill him?"
Xiao Xiujing stood up and came to Ji Yuetan, bowed deeply and said sincerely:
"Brother Ji's methods can possibly kill him?"
Ji Yuetan didn't answer. He only reached into his sleeves and took out an orb and a small iron plate. They appeared slightly and put them back into his sleeves.
"What a big deal?!"
After identifying the essence, Xiao Xiujing's pupils shrank deeply, and she couldn't help but look at Ji Yuetan:
"But Brother Ji, then you-"
"I have cultivated the body sanctification method of "Sun-Chong Cultivation Method" to a very advanced level. The attacks of ordinary Zifu monks cannot break open my bones or damage my internal organs!" Ji Yuetan's eyes were cold and stern.
"Tianpan Zhenjun is willing to shed blood! In this case, the big deal has been decided!"
I heard this.
Xiao Xiujing no longer had any doubts, clasped her hands and laughed:
"Chen Heng is dead!"
…
…
And a few months later.
The flowing fire transforms into the cave sky, Mingde Hall.
This day.
Chen Heng suddenly felt a faint vibration on the jade couch beneath him, and the beams and pillars trembled slightly.
He stood up and opened the window, and when he looked outside, there was a hint of joy on his face.
"The time has finally come!"
he said.
…
…
