"Do you remember how to do it?"
Zhao Ning nodded, "Remember."
"Since you can't calm down, let's play a few games with my uncle." Qin Keyuan motioned to Zhao Ningluozi.
Bai Zi landed in the same position as the previous few times. This seemed to be Zhao Ning's habit of playing chess. Bai Zi went first, but she always liked to fall in the same position. Qin Keyuan would follow Zhao Ning's move and land in the same position every time. Position, until there were too many moves on the chessboard, and Zhao Ning could no longer remember the previous moves, the chess game moved to a new situation, but this time, Qin Keyuan did not follow and changed the moves.
Zhao Ning didn't pay attention. While thinking about how to make a move, he said, "I know there are powerful people in Jiuzhou and elders in the sect, but I am one of them after all. I can't just ignore it and pretend not to notice."
As she spoke, she found a spot that she thought was a perfect location, which provided both a retreat and an attack on the black man.
But Qin Keyuan didn't expect that Qin Keyuan would block all Bai Zi's escape routes. He responded to Zhao Ning's words, "That's why I let you follow the suppression team to eliminate the humans and demons."
The white hair between Zhao Ning's fingers almost slipped. She looked at Qin Keyuan in shock, "Are these chaos caused by humans and demons?"
Qin Keyuan did not answer immediately, but only pointed to the chess game. Because his retreat was blocked by Qin Keyuan, Zhao Ning had no choice but to attack the black stones. When one stone fell, the black stones seemed to collapse. Zhao Ning had the upper hand in the chess game for a moment, but his attention was Almost all of them were questions, and there was no way to squeeze out a trace of joy.
"Even if the human demon is transformed from a mortal, he is still a demon." Qin Keyuan seemed to answer but was a little vague.
Looking at his move again, the black piece counterattacked towards the white piece on the verge of death, which actually presented the endgame of a confrontation.
Zhao Ning's mind was no longer on the chess game. He dropped a piece at random and followed Qin Keyuan's train of thought, "Could it be that the human demon has been demonized in Haoyang Tomb for many years, and there are an army of 500,000 mortals with the blessing of resentment, causing the demonic energy to overflow. , and has been hidden in the second-level secret realm for many years, affecting the disciples of various sects who come and go to explore the secret realm, causing everyone to be mentally unstable and therefore impetuous?"
"you lose."
But he didn't want Zhao Ning to finish his words, so Qin Keyuan said three words immediately.
Zhao Ning was startled and looked down at the chess game. He had obviously gained the upper hand just now, but now he was defeated like a mountain. The black stones swallowed up most of the white stones, and only a few white stones were not affected. However, the situation was over and the situation could not be reversed.
"Zhao Ning." Qin Keyuan suddenly called her, "The devil must be removed."
Zhao Ning raised her eyes, thinking that he was instructing people and demons to surround and kill them, so she nodded seriously, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely solve it with everyone in the sect before it causes harm to the common people."
Qin Keyuan looked at the firmness in her expression and seemed to be relieved, but his eyes were very serious.
He waved his sleeves, and the black and white pieces on the chess board fell back into the chess jar.
"Uncle Master won't let you go in this round." He motioned to Zhao Ningluozi.
The haze in Zhao Ning's heart faded away, and she smiled and said, "Zhao Ning was distracted just now, and his mind was not on the chess game, so he allowed his uncle to counterattack. This time, he will not let his uncle win so smoothly."
The sky outside the house was filled with thick clouds, and the moonlight was completely covered. The candlelight flickered in the hut, and the figures of the two playing chess were printed on the window.
Until daybreak, Zhao Ning was defeated in another chess game. She held her chin with one hand depressedly, not knowing why she had the upper hand and the upper hand in this chess game, but in the end she could not avoid the dilemma of being surrounded by sunspots.
"Isn't there a turning point?" Zhao Ning was talking about the chess game.
Qin Keyuan paused slightly and lowered his eyes on the chessboard. He no longer cast spells on the chessboard, but put the black and white stones back into the end game one by one.
At the critical point where Heizi blocked all the escape routes, Zhao Ning picked up Bai Zi and went deep into Heizi's hinterland, as if he was seeking death.
Zhao Ning tilted his head in confusion, but Qin Keyuan fell straight down.
After that, Zhao Ning stayed on the low table to study the chess game, while Qin Keyuan closed his eyes and meditated again on the other side. Time passed, the sun came and went, and night came again.
Most likely, Zhao Ning really didn't have much talent in playing chess. Until Qin Keyuan stood up and called her to leave, Zhao Ning still didn't figure out where the end of the game was.
Zhao Ning gave up reluctantly, dressed up and changed clothes, and followed Qin Keyuan out of the cabin.
Qin Keyuan led Zhao Ning away in the clouds, but the end result still fell on the low table.
Chapter 140
Qin Keyuan was extremely fast, covering thousands of feet in an instant.
There are thick clouds in the sky, and it feels like you are in a mystery high in the sky. The wind is strong and the fog turns to ice.
Even though Zhao Ning had completed his Qi training and exercised his body and cleansed his marrow, he felt a bone-chilling chill at this moment.
Zhao Ning couldn't adapt, and just when he wanted to remind him loudly, Qin Keyuan turned sideways and blessed Zhao Ning with a protective magic formula, but his speed did not slow down at all.
After flying for more than half an hour, the cloud platform used by the Qingxiao Sect to recruit immortals came into view.
There are many people sitting on the ground on the cloud platform at the top of the mountain. Judging from the disciples' robes, 70% are inner disciples and the rest are outer disciples.
The breath of these disciples is pure, and only Zhao Ning can see through their cultivation. Their surging spiritual power almost surpasses that of ordinary monks at the same stage.
Judging from their appearance, they seem to rarely move around the sect, at least Zhao Ning has rarely met them in the sect, but it is undeniable that they are all elites of Qingxiao Sect.
Ji Xiu stood up in the crowd, accompanied by seven or eight foundation-building true disciples.
The two landed, and Ji Xiu raised his hands to Qin Keyuan, "Senior brother, as you ordered, all the requirements for the teleportation array are ready."
Ji Xiu was slightly surprised when he noticed the person behind Qin Keyuan, "Little Fairy Zhao Ning, are you just back from training?"
It sounds like Ji Xiu doesn't know what happened to Zhao Ning.
"Just come back. The casual cultivators outside are restless and intrigues, so don't harm the little fairy."
"Thank you, Uncle Ji, for your concern. Everything is fine with Zhao Ning."
Zhao Ning glanced at Qin Keyuan and saw that Qin Keyuan had no intention of informing him, so he bowed to Ji Xiu without saying a word.
Ji Xiuguan came to smile and talk a lot. In the past, he would have pulled Zhao Ning to talk about his experiences, but today he looked bad and did not ask Zhao Ning any more. Instead, he walked slightly closer to Qin Keyuan.
"Brother, do you really want to use the teleportation array directly? Yunzhou is not slow, and it only takes seven or eight days to get to the Kunxu border. Isn't it too... expensive to use the teleportation array?"
In the world of Kunxu cultivation, teleportation arrays are not uncommon, but this kind of teleportation array is not an ordinary teleportation array, but a thousands-mile teleportation array. It is actually rarely used in daily life. It is generally only used in major occasions, such as summoning immortals, or the entrance to the secret realm. The reason is that it consumes high-grade spiritual stones. For the Kunxu cultivation world, treasures are scarce, and high-grade spiritual stones are even rarer. Most of them are exchanged for thousands of low-grade spiritual stones from other cultivation circles in Kyushu, which is expensive and troublesome.
Qin Keyuan didn't say much, "Now that you're ready, let's set up the formation."
Ji Xiu paused, opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, but when he met Qin Keyuan's cold gaze, he swallowed back his words and started the Thousand Mile Teleportation Formation with several true disciples.
The landing point of the Thousand Mile Teleportation Array was near Guiyuan City. According to Qin Keyuan's instructions, everyone immediately sent Yunzhou to Morsu after teleporting there. The human demon was hiding in a desert place in Morsu.
The teleportation array was opened and spiritual light overflowed. Ji Xiu immediately arranged for all his disciples to go to the teleportation array.
Zhao Ning did not enter first. She still stayed beside Qin Keyuan, looking across the disciples who entered the teleportation array. They rarely talked to each other, did not make any noise, and were extremely respectful. After entering the teleportation array, she briefly raised her hands to Qin Keyuan, and then escaped with the spiritual light. .
When the last person entered the teleportation array, Ji Xiu looked at Zhao Ning and said, "Let's go quickly."
Zhao Ning nodded and said goodbye to Qin Keyuan. She walked to the teleportation array and turned to look at Qin Keyuan. This was her subconscious action. Maybe even Zhao Ning herself didn't know why she turned to look back at this moment.
But she saw Qin Keyuan still watching, and when their eyes met, Qin Keyuan paused slightly and nodded slightly towards her.
Zhao Ning bowed, withdrew his gaze, and stepped into the teleportation array. A flash of light flashed through his body, and Zhao Ning disappeared into the teleportation array.
Only Ji Xiu and Qin Keyuan were left on the platform.
After everyone left, Ji Xiu's face couldn't help but darken, "Senior brother, the Yuhua Sect's challenge is about to be held, and the High-grade Golden Elixir Ceremony is being held at the same time. Is it really appropriate for me to take the disciples away like this? Moreover, the human demon is seriously injured. Hiding in a deserted place and sleeping, sending so many elites there, and distributing huge contributions in advance. Senior brother, I don’t understand, are you hiding something?”
"Ji Xiu, this is the task assigned to you by the sect." Qin Keyuan's expression showed no unnecessary expression. He only looked at Ji Xiu calmly, but his words were particularly strong, "When you go to encircle and suppress human demons, you must also take good care of your disciples. To ensure safety, no one should be left behind.”
"Senior brother, what do you mean?" Ji Xiu interrupted and asked irritably.
But Qin Keyuan still said, "It's tens of thousands of miles to go to the Mortal Desert of Kyushu. Even Yunzhou, the imperial envoy, will take half a year. If any disciple gives up before the battle and wants to return to Kunxu, he will be treated as a traitor to the sect."
Ji Xiu became even more irritated. Hearing Qin Keyuan's words, he felt that he was explaining something. He suddenly grabbed Qin Keyuan's arm and said, "Brother, why?! The situation in the sect has been in chaos in the past few months, why do you still need to Making such a decision! This makes me have to wonder if you are asking me to take the younger disciples of the sect to escape from Kunxu."
"Ji Xiu, you don't need to know many things too clearly. You just need to follow my instructions." Qin Keyuan's tone did not soften at all, "This is an order."
Since Ji Xiu became the disciple of the sect master, he almost always obeyed Qin Keyuan's orders and could not resist.
He walked two steps in place, "We should do our best to encircle and suppress the human demons, but uncle, your golden elixir ceremony will be held soon. Junior brother can't congratulate senior brother for a long time. That's all. As for the little fairy Zhao Ning, others I don’t know, but I know very well that you agreed to Master Huo Rong to accept Little Fairy Ning as a disciple. This Golden Elixir Ceremony is the perfect time to accept disciples, but you asked Little Fairy to go with me. Little Fairy knows what to think in your heart. ?”
Qin Keyuan was silent for a moment, but did not change his attitude. He just sighed, "Maybe we don't have the fate of master and disciple."
After he finished speaking, he urged, "Don't delay any longer. Let's go quickly."
Ji Xiu's words were blocked, and he clenched his fists, fluttered his sleeves and entered the teleportation array in annoyance.
The spiritual light of the teleportation array shook, until Ji Xiu's figure disappeared into the teleportation array, Qin Keyuan's eyes still did not shift, wondering what he was thinking through the teleportation array.
After the teleportation array had not been touched for a long time, the spiritual light completely converged. Qin Keyuan closed his eyes slightly, then opened his eyes, but with a flick of his sleeve, the teleportation array completely collapsed and could no longer be used.
At this time, the teleportation formation closest to the Qingxiao Sect on the western border of Kunxu was the closest place for mortals to return to Kunxu. If it was so damaged, it would take more than ten days to travel from Guiyuan City to the Qingxiao Sect, just by the wind. .
Qin Keyuan turned into a stream of light and headed towards Qingxiao Sect.
The night was dead silent again, a hundred miles empty, as if something was brewing in the dark.
The teleportation array landed on a high mountain a few miles outside Guiyuan City. Zhao Ning stood on the top of the mountain and could vaguely see the shadow of Guiyuan City, but it was hidden in the darkness, which made it a bit depressing.
"Senior brother didn't go to seclusion, why did he come with us?"
Someone was communicating in a low voice next to her, and Zhao Ning caught a glimpse of two inner disciples wearing moon-white disciple robes from the corner of her eye.
The other person had been meditating on the spot since he came over, closing his eyes and concentrating. The voice of the questioner was familiar, and then he opened his eyes and spoke, "It was the head of the Inner Gate General Affairs Hall who called me out, saying that the matter was urgent, and asked me to cushion the ground and build the foundation. Before I left, I was given a lot of contributions as compensation.”
"But there are five Foundation Establishment Pills?" The questioner's voice became even lower.
The man paused and said, "More than that, there are ten in total. Junior brother asked what this meant. You have only practiced at the ninth level of Qi. Did you also receive the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"Exactly, there are five of them in total. I inquired privately. It seems that everyone has got the Foundation Establishment Pill, and there are also some Foundation Establishment pills. What is the sect going to do? Before a Foundation Establishment Pill, the sect I'm so reluctant to part with it, but why did I get so many in one shot this time?"
"I don't know either. It may be that the strangulation of humans and demons is difficult and the journey is long. If we get an opportunity to build a foundation on the way, it will be a big help. Maybe the sect has considered it deeply."
Zhao Ning listened to their conversation unconsciously and felt a hint of strangeness. This strange feeling entangled with a trace of uneasiness in her heart.
But at this moment, the teleportation formation on the ground suddenly went out, and Ji Xiu had already released Yun Zhou.
"Let's go, everyone, don't delay."
After saying that, he asked the two Foundation Establishment True Masters to board the Yunzhou and urged all the disciples on the top of the mountain to go up.
Zhao Ning followed the crowd and flew onto the Yunzhou. It was roughly estimated that there were thirty-five disciples on the Yunzhou in the Qi Refining stage, including low, middle and high three-level disciples. There were eight disciples in the Foundation building stage including Ji Xiu and others. , several people have extremely heavy spiritual pressure, at least in the later stages of foundation building.
After everyone got on the Yunzhou, some people went to rest in the rooms on the second floor of the cabin, and some people were still staying outside the cabin. They were probably about to set off, and there was no Qin Keyuan watching. The atmosphere became a little more lively, and some people were in groups. Gather together and whisper this.
Zhao Ning stood alone by the boat, watching the spirit boat gradually rise to the sky under the guidance of Ji Xiu and others.
The spirit boat did not pick up speed at first and flew slowly to the west.
The spirit boat flew over Guiyuan City. I don’t know if it was because of the late night. Guiyuan City was completely dark. The lanterns on the streets were not lit. The people setting up stalls in the central square seemed to be absent day and night. .
But before Zhao Ning noticed the meaning, the speed of the spirit boat increased. It sailed quickly over Guiyuan City. Zhao Ning subconsciously looked in the direction of Qi Molin's house. The dense forest and the village seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. generally.
The spirit boat flew faster and faster until it flew over the Lingwu Forest, which meant that they were about to leave Kunxu Cultivation World.
"Little Fairy Zhao Ning."
Suddenly Ji Xiu's voice sounded from behind.
