Lu Shuang reached out and took out the other broken sword and looked at it carefully. Based on her experience, even though the sword was broken, it was not difficult to recognize it as an evil sword.
Luo Ying said nothing and only looked at Qian Chao's portrait on the table.
Wen Yuan was filled with fear. Why did his incompetent brother get together with Hanchichi and the evil cultivator who used the evil sword?
"Four brothers and sisters, by now you should know what we have experienced outside this time. If we are in danger, we will not be able to come back. It is really a narrow escape from death. It scared me to death. Later we found out about these three people. My personal plan, as for Qian Chao, is to capture Hanchichi to refine the weapon, and then I am afraid that he will leak the information and offend the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall. I will definitely kill him after he refines the weapon, and the rest of us The few people who were with Qian Chao didn’t intend to keep us, so letting them go would easily cause trouble, so it would be safer to kill them!”
"Is it possible that you guys defeated those three people?" Luo Bin asked.
"Senior Brother Luo is joking. Although there are more of us than them, we are still low-level in cultivation. How can we fight with the high-level disciples of Qi Refining? It's funny. At first, we really wanted to rely on the large number of people. Those who fought for a while, but unfortunately they were no match for them in the beginning, and then they ran away, but they couldn't escape at all. In the end, they had no choice but to fight them desperately. Well, speaking of it, I and several senior brothers and sisters are similar, not in the sect. Where there are elders, there is a master. The elders are not at ease and worried about our safety outside, so they will naturally give one or two life-saving things. It is scary to say that, at the time of life and death, if there is no such thing, I may not have a chance. We’re here to find our four senior brothers and sisters!”
"Junior sister Tang," Wenyuan asked with an ugly face, "are everything you said true?"
Tang Ping smiled and said: "Senior Sister Wen, there is a boy named Han Tian next to Wen Zhang, who is inseparable from him. Why don't the four senior brothers and sisters take this painting to Han Tian, let him see the painting first, and then praise him When I compliment him on his good painting skills, you will know whether what I say is true or not by looking at Han Tian's face!"
The four of them no longer doubted Tang Ping's words. They all knew who Han Tian was. The fact that they were followed by so many monks when they went out this time was probably Han Tian's idea for Wen Zhang.
Seeing that the four of them were silent, Tang Ping gently sat down next to Yanxuan, took another sip of tea and said: "Originally, I am not involved in this matter, and it has little to do with me. I guess Wen Zhang Also, Han Tian didn’t do enough homework beforehand and was a little impatient. However, after all, I experienced life and death outside the clan because of this incident and almost lost my life outside, so the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became. , I was originally anxious to go back and complain to the elders, but I was still worried that Senior Sister Luo and Senior Sister Wen still didn’t know what Wen Zhang and Han Tian were doing behind the scenes, so I came over to talk to the senior brothers and sisters first. The trouble that can be seen is nothing, the trouble that cannot be seen is the real trouble! Oh, also, what the four senior brothers and sisters can find in the ruins has nothing to do with us. We are only cultivators at the fourth level of weapon refining. Why, it’s still early to build the foundation! What’s more, as for me, I don’t lack those few spiritual stones, but I still have to go out on errands every month. Four senior brothers and sisters, you should know what I mean to you if you think about it. There is no mistaking the treasure."
After hearing this, Luo Ying's heart moved, and she really looked at Tang Ping seriously for a while, and by the way, Lian Yanxuan also looked at her a few more times.
The expression on Wen Yuan's face recovered a little, and she said to Tang Ping sternly: "I understand what Junior Sister Tang means. Alas, my incompetent brother has caused you a lot of trouble. As a sister, I will apologize to you." .”
After saying this, Wenyuan stood up and bowed to Tang Ping and Yanxuan.
When Yanxuan saw it, he quickly pulled Tang Ping to stand up and return the favor.
Wenyuan looked at the things on the table and said: "Leave these things to me. This matter is no longer as simple as a child's nonsense. I have to tell the elders, which can be regarded as an explanation to Junior Sister Tang. If Junior Sister Tang goes back to tell her elders about this matter, don’t forget to tell the seniors as well. If we juniors can solve the matter, there is no need for the elders to worry about it. .”
Wenyuan understood that if Tang Ping was dissatisfied and said something more jealous after she returned, Tang Bonian and Fairy Guhuo behind her would come to find her grandfather together in anger. I am afraid that Senior Wen would also be hard-pressed to resist. Colluding with evil cultivators to murder sect disciples would almost kill Wen Zhang.
Although she also hates Wen Zhang, if things really come to that point, not only will one of her family members die, but even Senior Wen's prestige within the sect will be greatly damaged.
Therefore, she was quite grateful to Tang Pingneng for this matter.
Luo Bin also raised his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Junior Sister Tang, for coming to tell us this. We will remember your thoughts."
Lu Shuang said: "Senior sister, I understand your favor, but you are too weird. Can't you change your habit of scaring people?"
Luo Ying didn't say much, she just said: "Thank you very much!"
After chatting for a while, Tang Ping left with Yanxuan.
…
After Tang Ping took Yanxuan away, there was a brief silence in the hall.
Wenyuan's face became flushed. She lowered her eyes and only looked at the things on the table in front of her. As her chest rose and fell faster and faster, it could be seen that she had been trying her best to suppress herself, at least in Tang Ping's case. It was like this when He Yanxuan was here, but now that the two girls have left, and the only ones left are her closer ones, she can no longer suppress it.
"Brother Luo, Senior Sister Lu, Junior Sister Luo," Wenyuan stood up and looked at his three companions. "I didn't expect that our matter was actually because of... Oh, I really feel sorry for you. I really didn't expect that he could carry us behind his back." It’s really hateful to have done so many things! Now that Tang Ping has come to explain it, and this matter may be related to evil cultivators, it is not a small matter like Wen Zhang and me being angry, I I need to go back to my grandfather and explain this matter to him clearly. It would be unthinkable if Wen Zhang is allowed to continue like this without asking any questions!"
Lu Shuang and Luo Bin sighed but did not speak.
Luo Ying has the best relationship with Wenyuan. She said: "It is true. We also looked at things a bit simple before. We thought we could go smoothly on this matter, but we didn't expect that things would turn out to be twists and turns. Sister Wen, you really should Go and talk about this matter with Senior Wen. If Tang Ping can come over and talk about this matter, you can see that although this girl is not old, she is also a sensible little guy. She neither wants to suffer in vain, nor does she want to take it for granted. The matter has become big, and you have sold us a big favor. Sister Wen, go talk to Senior Wen about this matter. Even if Senior Wen continues to favor Wen Zhang, if such a thing happens, he will definitely consider it carefully, no I will take it lightly."
Wen Yuan nodded, and suddenly sighed: "Well, we are still in the same grade. If Wen Zhang had one-tenth of Tang Ping's intelligence and knowledge, how could he still be so confused!"
After saying that, Wenyuan picked up the things Tang Ping left on the table and left.
"Wait a minute, Junior Sister Wen," Luo Bin said, "We might as well make some plans on this matter before you go find Senior Wen for money."
"Oh, Senior Brother Luo, what do you mean?" Wenyuan asked.
"Now that you're gone and Senior He Wen has explained this matter clearly, there should be two endings, both of which are related to our affairs." Luo Bin looked at the three people in front of him and continued to tell what he was thinking. "The most likely thing is that Senior Wen will be furious after hearing what you said, and will strictly discipline Wen Zhang. In this case, Wen Zhang will most likely be confined in his cave by Senior Wen, and I estimate that this will The period of time will not be too short, so we don’t have to be too anxious about things. Do you remember those people who have been following us since then? Those people are the most cunning. They are difficult to get rid of and are not easily fooled. I guess They won't let us go if we go out again. As long as Wen Zhang is grounded and can't continue to cause trouble for us, then we might as well go out a few more times, not to collect treasures, but to go around a few times and pick up things bit by bit. Find them and clean them up. Even if we can't get rid of them all, they will probably slack off after a long time. This is in our benefit. Maybe they won't be bothered to follow us when we go out, so we will go directly to the ruins and kill them. Take out the treasure."
Luo Bin paused here. The other three people nodded after listening to his thoughts, looked at Luo Bin, and asked him to continue.
"The other possibility is less likely, but we have to think more carefully. If Junior Sister Wen explains this matter to Senior Wen, Senior Wen just calls Wen Zhang to his side and scolds him without any punishment. , if this is the case, then we must leave the sect again as soon as possible, and the more secretly the better. After leaving, rush to the ruins as quickly as possible to take out the treasures. Only in this way can we stop Wen Zhang’s thoughts, and we can count All the hard work was not in vain.”
After Luo Bin finished speaking, he looked at Wenyuan.
Wenyuan said: "I understand what Senior Brother Luo means. Let's do this. You might as well wait for me here. When I go to explain this matter clearly, I will come back and tell everyone the result."
Lu Shuang nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll wait for you here."
Wenyuan left.
There were only three people left in the hall.
Lu Shuang suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think of Tang Ping just now?"
"What else," Luo Ying said, "She is a very cunning little girl. Not only is she very clever, but she is also extremely clever. Coupled with her background, she will definitely be a troublesome person in the future."
"Well, more or less," Lu Shuang said with a smile, "Among the elders who have formed pills in Shuiyun Valley, everyone knows that Elder Tang of Bibotan is a difficult person. No one wants to provoke him, even my master. It’s strange that Tang Ping, a disciple of the Yuling Sect, wants to learn the illusion of our Yueyinglin. This Tang Ping’s master, senior Guhuo, came to my master to tell me about this. Naturally, my master I didn’t agree, but when Elder Tang came forward, I didn’t expect that my master actually agreed and taught it in person. I really don’t know what methods Elder Tang used. This girl Tang Ping is so similar to Elder Tang. She will definitely do it in the future. He is also an extremely difficult person!”
Luo Bin looked at the problem from a different perspective than them. He said, "Have you noticed the little girl next to Tang Ping?"
"Well, I've paid attention to it. She seems to be a little girl who is not very courageous and has never seen much of the world. She is probably the one who follows her." Lu Shuang said. She didn't pay much attention to Yanxuan at that time. Think of her as a little follower attached to Tang Ping.
"You didn't see everything clearly. That little girl is a disciple of Qixia Mountain, but I'm sure she's not just following Tang Ping. Although she didn't speak much, I saw that not only was she hanging on her waist Qixia Mountain's Lingcao Kou actually has a small white jade gourd, which is the identity mark of a junior alchemist. Sixth Sister, not many Qixia Mountain disciples on the fourth level of Qi Refining have that small gourd, which at least shows that the girl is in Even if you don't have talent in alchemy, you have to work hard. I have a different opinion from you. According to my opinion about Tang Ping, I don't think that the little girl is deliberately following Tang Ping. On the contrary, she seems to be Tang Ping. Ping deliberately recruited her to his side, how convenient it would be to have someone proficient in alchemy by his side, Sixth Sister, I don’t need to say more about this."
Luo Ying's heart moved after hearing this. She raised her eyes and looked at her brother, and then said: "In this way, this Tang Ping is even more extraordinary. Look at the people around her. Except for this Qixia Mountain person who can make elixirs, Little girl, Qian Chao is said to be very close to her. At least they were together when they left the sect. I don’t need to say more about Qian Chao. You can enter the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall on the second floor of Qi Refining. Take a look. Tang Ping now has one person who can make elixirs, one person who can make weapons, and well, I heard that there are two more people with them. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid they are not a fuel-efficient lamp. It seems that Junior Sister Tang has a lot of ambitions. It does look a bit like it.”
When Luo Bin heard Qian Chao's name, he said to Luo Ying: "Now I am somewhat interested in that Qian Chao. I still remember Tang Ping said to you, don't underestimate Qian Chao. Although he is not good, he is still good. Do those words have some guts?"
"Yeah, remember."
"Then what did you say before she said this? Do you remember?"
"I... what I'm saying is that even if Qian Chao is smart, it's impossible for him to secretly learn our formation techniques."
"Yes, that's what you said, and then Tang Ping laughed, and then said that the man named Yu Xian also knows some formations, well... and finally asked you not to underestimate Qian Chao, hum! In my opinion , the little girl Tang Ping came to us today to make a scene. Most of the time she was acting for us, but the words that told you not to underestimate Qian Chao were sincere, and she was afraid that you would listen. After understanding the meaning, I added that although he is not good at all, he still has some guts."
"You mean..." Luo Ying understood what her brother meant, but she refused to believe it. "It's impossible. I may have been negligent before, but when I came to him to refine weapons, all he saw was... Scales and Half Claws, wouldn’t it be too smart if he could learn some formation techniques from here?”
"Although there are few smart people, there are still some," Luo Bin said. "Well, I am ashamed to say that we can only be considered diligent people, and we are not very smart. We think the formation technique is extremely mysterious. , it is impossible for an ordinary person to get started without a lot of hard work, but there must be that kind of smart person in this world. You think you only let him get a glimpse of the leopard and prevent him from seeing the whole picture, but he can just deduce it from a corner. Overall, maybe that Qian Chao really secretly learned a few formation techniques."
Luo Ying still didn't believe it: "Is this...possible?"
"It's hard for me to say this. After all, none of us witnessed how they fought with the three high-level Qi-refining disciples. However, Tang Ping's words about him having some backbone made me very curious. A weapon-refining person If a little guy on the third or fourth level can face the threat of a high-level disciple of Qi Refining, if he can have some backbone, he must have some confidence first, and the origin of this backbone is definitely not based on the strength bestowed by the elders on his partner. It's not a matter of integrity. Now think about the look on Tang Ping's face when she said she almost couldn't come back. That kind of fear was not fake. When they faced these three guys, They must have been fighting for a while. At least Tang Ping was really in danger of almost losing her life, otherwise she wouldn't have such deep hatred when talking about Wen Zhang and Han Tian. There is another thing you may not have noticed. When Tang Ping took out the jade pendants of the three people, her face did not change much, but there was a hint of arrogance hidden in her eyes. Hum, if these three people were given by her elders, She would never have that kind of look in her eyes when someone is killed by something. Besides, if you think about it, what else can win people's hearts more than facing a powerful enemy, going through extraordinary dangers, but being able to work together and win together? of?"
Finally, Luo Bin added: "It seems that the little guys around Tang Ping are not simple!"
Lu Shuang still didn't believe Luo Bin's words, and said doubtfully: "Is it possible? According to what you mean, this is like those little guys on the third and fourth levels of weapon refining who joined forces to kill three high-level Qi refining people. Disciple, this is too incredible!”
Luo Bin smiled and said: "Sixth sister, cultivation is cultivation, means is means, why have you fallen into this trap? Don't forget that we also encountered some people outside the sect when our cultivation was not high. Haven't we narrowly defeated the bullying of high-level disciples several times? Have you forgotten?"
After hearing this, Luo Ying said: "If this is true, it seems that I really have to look for that money."
"What are you doing to him? Are you asking him why he secretly learned the art of formation? No need to," Luo Bin said. "To put it bluntly, our grandfather took this art of formation too seriously. Not only is Ya'an arrogant, he is also too self-respecting. In fact, not only our grandfather, but also Junior Sister Wen's grandfather and Senior Wen are also like this. As a result, only the weapon refining technique is popular in Jiuxuan. Let's look at what these two old people have collected. Although those apprentices and senior brothers are all loyal and loyal, in terms of these two spells, they can only manage to maintain their success but not develop enough. I am afraid that the two spells of talisman and formation will become worse and worse. In decline, if Qian Chao really secretly learned the art of formation, just let him go. With his intelligence, it is estimated that he will achieve a lot in the future. Even if the elders find out and accuse him in the future, at worst, you can just say that he is doing it for him. That’s all he chooses as his apprentice.”
"Ah!" Luo Ying didn't expect that her brother would say such words. Not only did she not expect it, but neither did Lu Shuang who was beside him.
"Haven't you seen it yet?" Luo Bin continued, "This Tang Ping has great ambitions, a deep background, and she works hard enough. In the future, she will definitely lead a few people around her to go further, although they have to catch up. It is unlikely that we are in this Qi refining period, but don’t forget that there is a longer period of practice after foundation building and before elixir formation. No one can say what will happen at that time. Now you have a good relationship with Qian Chao , then why not keep going, give him some secret advice from time to time, and let him accept your favor, and maybe he will be rewarded in the future."
Luo Ying didn't speak, but Lu Shuang on the side nodded in agreement: "Well, what Junior Brother Luo said makes sense."
