Qi Luo walked out of the alchemy hall, feeling uneasy and a little uncomfortable. He always felt that the master was hiding something from him.
After walking a few steps, he met a disciple from Jiangmu Hall.
"Elder brother, the acting head has something to discuss with you," the person said.
Upon hearing this, Qi Luo nodded and said, "Please pass the message, I'll be there soon."
[Oriental School Jiangtu Hall]
It was announced that the disciples would come back and report to Lian Bo.
Lian Bo nodded and said, "Let Qi Luo come in."
The disciple agreed: "Yes."
After only a while, Qi Luo walked in.
"I wonder what Master Lian's orders are to Qi Luo?" Qi Luo asked respectfully after saluting.
Lian Bo stood up and walked to Qi Luo and said, "Qi Luo, how many years have you been a member of my sect?"
"Master, I'm afraid it will be twenty years." Qi Luo made a rough calculation and gave an approximate time.
"Oh, it's been twenty years." Lian Bo said with emotion, stroking his beard.
Qi Luo answered: "Yes, I think when Qi Luo became a disciple of the master, you, senior brother and the others were still there."
"Yes, so many years have passed. Luo Jue and the others have all left the Eastern Sect and are looking for their own way out. Among the disciples of that generation, the only ones who remain in the sect are you and Lulu, who are above the intermediate level magicians and have deep cultivation levels. Are you done?" Lian Bo sighed.
Qi Luo nodded and said: "Master Lian remembers it well. I think that our Eastern Sect was the largest sect in the world of cultivation at that time. All the brothers and sisters were shining like stars, shining on the lintel. What is sad is that now everyone has left the sect. To pursue their respective ideals, and I have already passed my thirties, and the younger generations of junior fellow apprentices are also catching up one after another."
Lian Bo continued: "Qi Luo, I wonder if you still remember Han Shuangxue?"
"How can we forget this? That's Senior Brother Shuangxue!" Qi Luo's eyes lit up. He hadn't heard this name for many years. "Isn't he your favorite disciple? Ten years ago, you asked him to serve the imperial court. ..."
"Yes, he is the deputy commander of the Qinglong Army in the imperial court now." Lian Bo said.
When Qi Luo heard this, the light in his eyes became even brighter, and he asked, "Senior Brother Shuangxue, how can he be so capable? I heard that the four armies of the imperial court, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, represent the highest military strength of our human race. Shuangxue. If Senior Brother Xue is the deputy commander, wouldn’t his cultivation be..."
"Advanced Magic Mage." Lian Bo added.
Qi Luo nodded excitedly and said: "Master, this is a gratifying thing. When we disciples from the Eastern Sect go out, they are all for high-ranking officials. However, I don't know why Master Lian mentioned Shuangxue today. Senior brother?"
When Lian Bo heard Qi Luo's words, he frowned tightly and said, "It is naturally gratifying and congratulatory for the disciples of our sect to be protected by your majesty, granted the title of wife, and the official title of general. But if this person If it is Jiang Shuangxue, you need to think deeply. This is what I came to you to discuss today. You also know that the ninth day of September is the big day of our Oriental sect, the sect competition meeting. For this reason, the head brother is here to meet Your Majesty, I invite you to send someone to supervise the entire competition process."
Upon hearing this, Qi Luo asked dissatisfiedly: "Master, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It's not that I look down on Brother Shuangxue. However, doesn't this mean that His Majesty looks down on our Eastern faction? In the early years, the imperial court also sent people We came to observe the competition process, but the senior masters who were sent were all the masters of magic. Do you want to send only one magician as a supervisor now?"
Lian Bo nodded and explained, "Jiang Shuangxue is not the only one who came with us, there is also a master of holding the battle."
"who?"
"Have you ever heard of Xue Xuzhao?"
"Xue Xuzhao, commander of the Qinglong Army?!" Qi Luo asked in shock, "Why did your Majesty send the two most important figures of the Qinglong Army here this year? Wouldn't the Qinglong Army be leaderless?"
"You don't have to worry about this. According to the leader's letter, the Qinglong Army will be temporarily led by General Weiwu. The Qinglong Army has been stationed in the Holy Capital these days, so there is no serious problem." Lian Bo said.
Qi Luo then nodded with relief and continued to ask: "Master, what do you mean by what you just said? What happened to Brother Shuangxue?"
"You don't know something about this. I think there was an internal reason why Shuangxue left the Oriental Sect." Lian Bo said.
"I'd like to hear the details!" Qi Luo brought a chair to Lian Bo, asked him to sit down and spoke slowly.
Lian Bo scratched his beard and said: "Masters and I all thought that Shuangxue wanted to stay in the Eastern Sect and follow us to learn spells. Unexpectedly, some changes happened later."
"What's the accident?" Qi Luo knew there was something going on.
Lian Bo lowered his voice and said: "Your master, Duan Jue, one day discovered that Shuangxue was planning to lift the Tianding."
"Lift the Heavenly Cauldron? The sect's most precious treasure, the Heavenly Lifting Cauldron?" Qi Luo asked.
Lian Bo nodded and said: "It's the Jutian Cauldron. Only the leader has known the whereabouts of the Jutian Cauldron. Even we don't know the whereabouts. But later, after discovering Shuangxue's idea of Jutian Cauldron, I became a little worried. It angered the master, and even more so the master of the master, who is my first-class senior, ordered Shuangxue to be sent down the mountain immediately, and from now on I will never admit him as a disciple of my sect."
Qi Luo nodded while listening, thinking: "So many things happened that year, who would have thought that Senior Brother Shuangxue would have such a purpose."
"Shuangxue has always been a thoughtful and ambitious person. Although I don't know why he wanted to raise the Tianding, what we can know is that he is an ambitious person and has a lot of scheming. Now he has become Qinglong. The deputy commander of the army comes back again, and I don’t know what will happen." Lian Bo worried.
At this time, Qi Luo already knew what Lian Bo was worried about, so he took the initiative and said: "Whatever Master orders, Qi Luo will definitely do it."
"You are worthy of being a role model for all the disciples, with a smart mind and a calm temper. I came to you today to tell you one thing. During the sect competition, in addition to doing your own competition well, the most important thing is Keep an eye on Shuangxue to prevent him from doing anything detrimental to the sect." Lian Bo looked at Qi Luo seriously.
Qi Luo stood up straight, clasped his fists and said, "This disciple will definitely fulfill his mission."
Lian Bo looked at Qi Luo's appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Aside from taking care of you, you must not forget your ranking in the competition. This is a test for you by your master and me."
"Disciple, please remember." Qi Luo replied loudly.
Qi Luo turned around and thought about it, then asked: "Master Lian, when will they go up the mountain? Do you need me to make arrangements for some disciples to take them up the mountain?"
Lian Bo said: "Don't worry, they will come on the seventh day of September."
"Master, do you know when the old man, the master, will return? He has not come back since he went down the mountain to contact various factions a few months ago." Qi Luo said.
Lian Bo sighed and said: "The leader is already used to the life of Xianyun Yehe, and he doesn't like to manage the affairs of the sect. The reason why he doesn't resign as the leader now is probably because he still can't let go of our senior brothers." . Now he should be traveling down the mountain, slaying demons and blessing the people."
When Qi Luo heard this, he felt quite moved in his heart and said: "The master has always taken slaying demons as his own duty and has the world in mind. But, Master Lian, didn't you say before that the master would come back to watch the competition between the sects?"
"Probably not. At this time, his letter has told me that it will take some time for him to return. He just asked us to manage the Oriental Faction properly." Lian Bo said.
Qi Luo nodded and said, "Disciple understands."
"Go ahead and get ready." Lian Bo waved his long sleeves and walked back to the inner courtyard of Jiangmu Hall.
[Dongfangshan·Fire Maple Forest]
After several days of practice and practice, Qianqiu and Monster Frog's cooperation has become perfect.
On this day, Qianqiu applied for an order to leave the mountain and came to Huofenglin.
The Fire Maple Forest is located in the Eastern Mountains. The entire forest is covered with fiery red maple leaves. From a distance, it looks like a ball of fire tightly surrounding the forest.
Fire Maple Forest is a place where fire spiritual beasts gather, so Qianqiu chose to try his luck here.
As soon as he arrived near the Fire Maple Forest, Qianqiu felt that the temperature was unusually high, and he had to use water magic to cool down.
"The name of this ghost place sounds nice, but I didn't expect it to be so torturous." Qianqiu thought while waving the Wuwu Sword to look around.
"Heibu, don't run around. This place is very dangerous." Ever since he left the confession hall, Qianqiu chose to take Heibu with him.
After being away from Qianqiu for several days, Heibu has been in a low mood. When he met Qianqiu, he went crazy and jumped around Qianqiu all day long.
Qianqiu was helpless. Although he considered it would be inconvenient to bring the black cloth with him when he went out, he still brought the black cloth with him in order to make up for the shortcomings of these days.
Hei Bu ran around, stuffing anything with some smell into his stomach.
Qianqiu took a moment to take a look at Heibu and felt a little incredible. He said to himself: "I don't know what kind of animal this Heibu is. It's not afraid of heat. It's really weird that it can keep its body healthy even if it eats randomly. This little guy He seems to have a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons.”
Since Heibu swallowed the piece of poison last time and was able to survive without any harm, Qianqiu no longer stops Heibu from eating.
Qianqiu searched around for a while, but didn't see any spiritual beasts.
"This is also strange. In this place rich in fire-type spiritual beasts, there is not even a single spiritual beast." He complained while muttering.
After walking around the huge Fire Maple Forest, Qianqiu didn't find a single fire-type spirit beast from day to night, even lower-level spirit beasts with other attributes.
"No more searching, no more searching. If we keep going like this, when will we be able to find him again?" Qianqiu broke a branch depressedly and sat down.
After a while, Heibu ran back with his tail wagging. Qianqiu looked at Heibu's bulging belly and couldn't help laughing: "Where have you been? How much have you eaten?"
