Quietly opening the door of Qian Chao's small courtyard, Tang Ping poked her head in and found that Qian Chao in the room was writing something unknown in front of a desk.
I originally thought about shouting to scare this kid, but I was worried that Qian Chao was making talismans at this time, and his voice might destroy the talisman he had worked so hard on, so he held back and lightly Came in lightly.
Qian Chao was indeed making talismans.
A small stack of prepared talismans has been placed on the desk, and each piece of yellow paper is almost full of drawings.
"Is your injury healed?"
Qian Chao put down his pen, his own face flushed. It was obvious that making the talisman consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but after all, he was not injured that day, but this girl Tang suffered a backlash, so he looked at Tang Ping's face with concern.
"Okay," Tang Ping said, taking the talisman Qian Chao had just made in her hand, but she couldn't understand it, so she asked, "What talisman is this?"
"This one is the same as the one used on Amuro Qi." Qian Chao said calmly.
"What!" Tang Ping glanced at Qian Chao after hearing this. She saw the power of the talisman with her own eyes at that time. The power of thunder falling from the sky shocked everyone present. Although she was injured at the time, she was still far away. After taking a look at Amuro Qi's miserable appearance after being struck by the thunder, even her senior sister Ruoyuan was greatly surprised when she talked about the incident later.
"Is it...such a talisman? What about these, are they all?" Tang Ping asked, pointing to the small stack of talismans on the desk, and then noticed that the red color on Qian Chao's face had not faded.
"Those are not," Qian Chao casually took the talismans in his hand, picked a few and crushed them casually. "These are all for my practice. I felt my hands were almost hot, so I made one of these thunder talismans. Well, these... They are all ordinary, and some are ruined."
"Is this thunder talisman so difficult to draw?"
"It's not difficult to draw something like this, but it's not easy to draw it and use it. I've only made four or five of them in the past few days."
"Oh," Tang Ping nodded and returned the talisman in his hand to Qian Chao. "Hey, boy Qian, how have you been these past few days? Well... I mean it's your first time to kill. Is there anything... Are you feeling uncomfortable or something?"
There was a small jar on Qian Chao's desk, which contained the spiritual wine he used to make cinnabar. Now that he had lost his spiritual energy after making the talisman, he grabbed the jar and took a sip from mouth to mouth. His face turned a little red again.
"Well, at that time, I could only hold on outside. Later, in your Sixth Grandpa's cave, in front of several seniors, I listened to what they said, but I couldn't think about it. But when I came back here, after calming down, I would naturally think, Thinking about what Amuro looked like when he died, I definitely felt uncomfortable, and felt nauseous for a while, but he is much better now. We have tried to persuade him many times, but he always wanted to fight us to the death, and finally he did This result... In fact, in the end, he was already at the end of his strength. No matter who we went over, Amuro Qi would die. When he rushed over at the end, he came to seek death."
Having said this, Qian Chao shook his head and continued: "I'm not like Brother Li, who grew up in the army and fought in thousands of armies. I'm not like Brother Lu. I am immune to evil, and have the temperament to ward off ghosts and gods. Well... I have been born into a wealthy family since I was a child. I have been pampered and pampered. Let alone killing people, I have never seen a chicken being killed in the kitchen. But you also saw the scene at that time. Even Sister Yan, who has always been timid, gritted her teeth and fought with Amuro Qi. Well, if Sister Yan could kill him with one knife at that time, I guess she wouldn't even frown, so she wanted to take this step , you still have to push yourself, just step over with your eyes wide open!"
Tang Ping nodded. What she was most worried about was the negative impact this incident would have on Qian Chao. Then she heard Qian Chao continue.
"To say that I feel uncomfortable is for sure. I have been thinking about it these past few days. I guess if something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. But being uncomfortable is better than dying in his hands. Much more. The only thing I worry about is that one day, after someone dies in my hands, my heart will become numb, I will have no feeling, and I will even become accustomed to it. That is what I am most afraid of now, and I don’t want to be like that. people!"
After hearing this, Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao again, and then he could see a bit of haggardness from the flush on his face. Thinking about it, this incident still had some impact on him. He must have been in trouble these days. It was really difficult for him to rely on being busy all the time to relieve the discomfort in his heart.
"It's not wrong for you to think this way, but you also know that Amshiqi's hands are stained with the blood of many people. With his death, many people can rest in peace. Mr. Qian, speaking of it, up to now, I also I have never killed anyone, but I have seen more blood than you. In this world of cultivation, good and evil are not the knives that kill people. Alas, profit is! If it is within a noble family, it is between the rooms. Competition; between aristocratic families, it is a struggle for each other's interests; in the future, when we work for the sect, what we will fight for is the gains and losses between the sects. You are not willing to kill people and want to keep your heart, which is naturally right, but in the future , you will be very helpless."
Qian Chao nodded and said: "That is a matter of the future. When it comes time to actually serve the sect in the future, a monk like me who is born in the Five Spirits will naturally think about the sect. Well, I guess my character will be different at that time. He will be much more mature than he is now."
What Tang Ping thought was that it would take at least many years from now until the foundation was established, and many things would happen during this period, which would probably be enough to temper Qian Chao's temperament.
Qian Chao suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I kept these things in my heart. Now that you're here, it's much better to talk about it. You probably didn't come here just to comfort me. Do you want to discuss what to do next?" what to do?"
"Yes, those old guys don't care about this matter and let us solve it ourselves. What do you think?"
"Well, I think what Senior Tang said that day was right. Let nature take its course. If that guy doesn't let go, he will definitely take action against us later. As long as he takes action, I'm not afraid that he won't reveal any traces. We'll see how we act accordingly. That’s it.”
"Is it possible to wait for him to take action like that? It's so awkward. Is there no other way?" Tang Ping was not willing to wait like this.
"I went to see Ma Hu a few days ago. I wanted to see if we could join forces with him to put our matter together with Ma Hu's matter of tracing the cause of Senior Brother Xun's death. As a result, I was attacked by Senior Tian Zhi'an. After a while, Ma Hu’s senior brother said that he hadn’t been back for a while and didn’t know where he was wandering around.”
Tang Ping immediately said: "Do you think Ma Hu will..."
Qian Chao said: "It is possible, but Ma Hu is different from Senior Brother Xun. He has always been alone, and you have seen him. He is a very cunning guy. His ideas are better than those of Senior Brother Xun. Ideas are more difficult.”
"Then all we have to do now is wait."
…
Two days later, Qian Chao and five other people gathered together in Li Jian's purple bamboo forest.
Li Jian's injuries have been greatly improved. The injured shoulder has completely healed, and the rest of the injuries on his body are no longer harmful.
The same was true for Lu Pingchuan, but as soon as he came, Tang Ping wrinkled her nose and sniffed, and then asked:
"Brother Lu, how much have you drunk? Why do you smell so drunk when you come here?"
"Oh, don't mention it. My master soaked me in a wine vat for several days. Hey, sister Yan also saw it that day. My master said it was called the Wine Master's method. It strengthened my muscles and bones. Not only did he let me soak In the wine vat, they let me drink wine one by one, and let me practice in the wine vat. Not to mention that you can smell the smell of wine. I feel sick when I smell the smell of wine these days, ugh!"
"There is actually such a way to practice!"
"Of course, this method is only available in our Houtu Temple. My master taught me a method. I can soak in the wine and practice it. I can absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit wine. When will the full vat of strong wine become as clear as water? They only let me out. Hey, I was quite happy at first, thinking I could have a good drink, but later it became really miserable. Fortunately, I finally got over it..."
Lu Pingchuan looked rosy at the moment, but when he mentioned the past few days of soaking in the wine vat, his face turned into a look of shame, which made people feel pitiful and funny at the same time.
Qian Chao handed the repaired armor to Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian and said:
"Now that everyone is fine, then..."
"Of course I went out," Lu Pingchuan said. "Last time we had a fight right after we left, and then came back. I didn't have enough fun. I have to go out for a walk no matter what."
"We haven't found out who the person behind Amuro Qi is yet..." Tang Ping said.
"Then it's even more important for us to go out. I'm afraid they won't come. I don't believe it. Those guys are all good at magic and can always let us catch a few. Then you don't have to ask. I'll ask myself and take care of them. All of them have been recruited honestly." Lu Pingchuan said again.
"Whether we can go out or not has nothing to do with whether those people are trying to get our idea. Humph, if someone really is trying to get our idea, then we will deal with them. If not, then we should go outside and practice. In short, we can't do it because of those guys. It's just delaying us." Li Jian said.
"That's right," Yanxuan also said, "Those people can't be persuaded after all. If they come, we won't be afraid of them!"
"Well, okay, how about we go out early tomorrow morning?" Tang Ping asked.
"good!"
…
Early the next morning, Qian Chao and the other five people gathered together again and then left the sect.
Less than two hours after the five of them left the sect, that is, when it was close to noon that day, someone hurriedly entered the Five Spirits Sect.
This person is not wearing the clothes of the Five Spirits Sect, and because of his cultivation, he should have been stopped when he was approaching the boundary of the Five Spirits Sect. Under the leadership of Zhike from the sect, he came to the Jiuxuan Neiju Senior Wen Mian It is said that the Dongfu in Xuanzhou is from the Wen family in Xuanzhou. He came to see Senior Wen in an urgent matter under the orders of the family leader.
Unfortunately, Senior Wen Mian is in retreat that day and does not see guests.
This member of the Wen family was very anxious, and couldn't help but ask Senior Wen's disciples to tell Wen Mian, who was in retreat, that something big had happened to the Wen family, and asked Senior Wen to come and preside over it, otherwise the Wen family would be in chaos.
The eldest disciple of Tian Wen Mian was present. As the eldest disciple, he was naturally one of Wen Mian's confidants. Therefore, he also knew what the relationship between his master and that Wen family was like. Seeing the people coming in was noisy and noisy, he couldn't bear it. Zhu said coldly: "Master is in retreat, no one dares to disturb him. Unless something happens to the sect and Yuhu Mountain rings the bell, no matter what happens to you, you must wait for Master to come out of retreat. If you want to wait, just wait here. If you can’t wait, please come back!”
The visitor was helpless and asked if Wenyuan was there and wanted to meet him. It seemed that he wanted to inform Wen Mian through Wenyuan.
Wen Mian's eldest disciple said: "Junior sister has gone out and is not in the sect."
If the person you want to see cannot be seen, the message that should be sent will naturally not be delivered. Naturally, the person who comes does not dare to return to Wen's house like this. In desperation, the person who comes has no choice but to continue to wait.
Little did he know that just like that, an important piece of information was suppressed. Qian Chao only knew this news after he returned from this trip.
