the next day.
In a rare move, Tang Ping patted the door of Qian Chao's residence first, and then shouted:
"Boy Qian, are you here?"
When Tang Ping opened the door and poked her head in, she saw Qian Chao sitting at the stone table in the courtyard. When Tang Ping saw Qian Chao, she was stunned for a moment, and then she keenly noticed that Qian's sitting posture was a little weird, and what happened to his face. Oh...why do you look so pale?
Qian Chao felt a little weird when he saw Tang Ping. Why did this girl look disappointed that her plan had failed?
Then a voice came from behind Tang Ping:
"Is that Junior Brother Qian here?"
"Uh...here."
Tang Ping replied, and then walked in, followed by a young man.
This young man has an above-average build and is quite impressive. He has a certain bearing. From the way he walked when he walked in from the outside, Qian Chao could tell that this man must be a well-known person in the sect. Looking at the cultivator He is also a high-level Qi refining person.
Tang Ping stared at Qian Chao's face, and her eyes became more and more strange. Why did Mr. Qian seem to be ill? Then she thought of talking.
"Boy Qian, this is Senior Brother Lin Jian, Senior Brother Lin, this is Qian Chao."
It’s actually Lin Jian!
Qian Chao felt his chest pounding!
Qian Chao knew the name Lin Jian, but had never met him. When he learned about this person, he was also related to Han Tian, because the Han Ning (Ning Han) whom Han Tian longed for was now very close to Lin Jian. Han Ning Perhaps she chose Lin Jian to protect herself and did not want to marry into the Wen family. I don’t know what method she used, but she made Lin Jian fall in love with her.
And it was precisely because of this that a huge wave of jealousy arose in Han Tian's sea of jealousy. In order to get her back, he did a lot of things, including sending people to deal with Qian Chao and others.
Why is Lin Jian here?
Qian Chao had always thought that the senior Yue Yinglin who wanted this mirror was the Goose Mirror Fairy, but unexpectedly it was Lin Jian who came.
It makes sense, after all, Lin Jian's father, Lin Hengzu, is also Yue Yinglin's Dan-forming senior.
But it may not be that Lin Hengzu wants this "water mist mirror".
Qian Chao was naturally aware of Lin Jian's life experience. His father, Lin Hengzu, was a Dan-forming senior of Yue Yinglin, but his grandfather, Lin Bi, was a Yuanying-level patriarch and was now practicing on Yuhu Mountain!
The Yuanying Patriarch on Yuhu Mountain!
It’s probably just one step away from reaching the wonderland!
Tang Ping said that the patriarch named Yueying Lin Nian had already visited the fairyland. Last night, he learned from the guy in the mirror that the Nian family had asked for it!
Arrive in wonderland!
It seems that the Yuan Ying Patriarch named Lin Pi wants to get this mirror.
If it hadn't been for what happened last night, Qian Chao wouldn't have thought so much, but no matter who it was, all he had to do was give the mirror away. Qian Chao even thought that after he told Tang Ping the secret of the mirror, she would also She will be tempted, but neither her master nor Tang Bonian will be able to keep the mirror. Since Lin Jian is here, give the mirror to him and explain to Tang Yatou later.
"Qian Chao has met Senior Brother Lin Jian."
Qian Chao said repeatedly while saluting.
When he raised his head, Qian Chao glanced at Tang Ping unintentionally. Tang Ping immediately understood that this boy Qian meant to let him wait and see what happened and avoid talking.
Lin Jian returned the gift casually and looked at Qian Chao. This was the first time he saw Qian Chao. He secretly wondered why this junior fellow apprentice looked so bad. Looking at his thin body, could it be that he was born with a lack of vitality and blood? ?
"Junior Brother Qian is so polite. I have heard about you for a long time. I have long heard that Junior Brother Qian entered the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall with the second level of Qi Refining. It is really admirable. This time Miss Yan Shuang is in danger, how about you? He has made great contributions to the sect again, I believe that Junior Brother Qian will have great achievements in the future."
"Senior Brother Lin was so complimentary. That time it was just me and a few other people who happened to be meeting at the right time and helped other senior brothers. I can't talk about credit. I didn't know that Senior Brother Lin was here..."
When Lin Jian heard this, he glanced at Tang Ping with a smile.
Tang Ping said reluctantly:
"Boy Qian, that mirror you..."
Tang Ping was unwilling to hand over the "water mist mirror", and the person who came today was not an elder. Although Lin Jian's status was considered valuable in the sect, Tang Ping did not dare to make any mistakes in front of him, but she still wanted to She wanted to let the mirror stay in Qian's hands for another day or two so that she could play tricks, so she led Lin Jian to Qian Chao's residence. She thought Qian Chao was still at Li Jian's place, so she could do it here. Knowing how to pounce, she could prevaricate Lin Jian, but she didn't expect that this boy Qian actually came back, which made her a little embarrassed. Although Qian Chao winked at her just now, she didn't want to take advantage of the mirror easily. She was given out, so what she originally wanted to say was, "Did you not understand that mirror?" etc. She hoped that Mr. Qian would follow her words and rely on her.
Unexpectedly, Qian Chao interrupted immediately before she finished speaking:
"Oh, I understand, Senior Brother Lin, the mirror is right here."
Qian Chao was holding a piece of paper to read when the two came in. After the two came in, they covered the paper on the table. He opened the paper, and the "water mist mirror" was there. , on top of several pieces of paper.
Qian Chao picked it up and held it with Lin Jian in both hands while saying:
"Tang Ping told me a long time ago that in the next few days, senior brothers or seniors from the sect will come to pick up this mirror, and asked me not to run around and just concentrate on waiting. I haven't gone out since. To be honest, this When I first got the mirror, I was very curious and thought about whether I could study it. It would be best if it could be refined like this, so I kept it for a few more days."
Lin Jian heard from others that when he asked Junior Sister Tang Ping for this mirror, the girl always resisted and refused to give it. Today, when he and Tang Ping came to look for Qian Chao, he could also see it on the girl's face. He had a reluctant look on his face. After listening to Qian Chao's words, he realized that this girl had this idea, but he didn't expect that Qian Chao was so smart. As soon as he explained his purpose of coming, he obediently put the "water mist mirror" He presented it, which made him very satisfied.
Only Tang Ping was secretly angry and looked at Qian Chao while Lin Jian wasn't paying attention. She didn't know why Qian Chao handed over the mirror so happily.
After taking the mirror, Lin Jian gave it a try and immediately confirmed that it must be the "water mist mirror", and then he finally felt relieved.
"Then how is Junior Brother Qian's research going?"
Lin Jian said this just casually. He didn't really want to know. For a treasure like the Water Mist Mirror, a Qi Refining disciple wants to understand it and refine it. Isn't it a joke!
"It's really embarrassing to say that I watched it for a few days and found nothing, ugh..."
While talking, Qian Chao also picked up some pieces of paper on the table and showed them to Lin Jian. What was drawn on the paper was a water mist mirror. Qian Chao used meticulous brushwork to describe the mirror, including the front, side, and back. The paper is meticulous, and there are some commonly used refining runes on the rest of the paper. It really seems like he is pondering the refining method of this mirror.
"This...could Junior Brother Qian really be able to refine this mirror?"
Lin Jian didn't seem to hear clearly what Qian Chao said just now. He only saw that the pieces of paper looked decent, so he asked curiously.
"No, this mirror is too mysterious. Alas, it is far beyond my ability to understand. Hey, I am also a little wishful thinking."
After hearing what Qian Chao said, Lin Jian nodded again and said:
"Yes, this water mist mirror is really a treasure. Speaking of which, you got this mirror, but after all, it is related to the Nian family. The sect and the Nian family still have to settle this account in detail. After all, this mirror and the boy named Nian who was captured by you are the witnesses and physical evidence that the sect holds. That’s why we have to take the mirror back. But Junior Brother Qian, don’t worry. In these days, the sect will definitely give you generous gifts and will not let you contribute to the sect in vain."
Qian Chao seemed very happy after hearing this and said:
"That's good. Thank you so much, Senior Brother Lin."
"Hey, thank me for what I did. This is what you deserve." Then Lin Jian looked at Tang Ping again, "Junior sister Tang, since I have got this mirror, I have to go back and recover as soon as possible. I won't stay here for a long time." , Junior Brother Qian, bid farewell."
"I'm sorry, I didn't even invite Senior Brother Lin for a cup of tea."
"You're welcome, stay."
In this way, Qian Chao sent Lin Jian away diligently and politely.
As soon as Lin Jian left, Tang Ping said with some dissatisfaction:
"Boy Qian, you..."
But she didn't finish her words, because she found that when Qian Chao turned around, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. She had noticed that Qian Chao's face was a little pale, but now she realized immediately that Qian Chao might have been injured. When he was sick, he reached out his hand to help him.
Tang Ping put her hand on Qian Chao's shoulder. It was only a gentle support at first, but Qian Chao almost screamed and saw big beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
Tang Ping was shocked and asked hurriedly:
"What's wrong with you?"
Qian Chao waved his hand, limped back to the stone table and sat down gently, holding his ribs little by little.
"You're injured!" Tang Ping's face darkened and she asked in a cold voice, "Who did it! Is it because of the mirror?"
Mr. Qian was injured in the sect, who is so brave! Coupled with Qian Xiaozi's strange behavior today, she suspected that someone had threatened Qian Chao.
"No," Qian Chao waved his hand, then pointed to the paper on the table, "I understand this thing, but we can't touch it."
What was drawn on the paper was the water mist mirror that Lin Jian took away just now.
"What?"
"Don't ask so many questions yet, is Sister Yan at Qixia Mountain or at Brother Li's place?"
"We came out together. She was going to Zizhulin to see if Brother Li's injuries were all healed, but she was stopped by Lin Jian halfway and came to you."
"That's good. I can still hold on. Let's go to Brother Li's place together and let Sister Yan take a look at my injuries first."
"How on earth did you get this injury?"
"Girl Tang...if I said that this injury was all caused by that mirror, would you believe it?"
"What!"
…
Mu Xiufeng, purple bamboo forest.
Because he was worried about Li Jian's injury, Lu Pingchuan also came to visit him today. Therefore, when Tang Ping and Qian Chao came to Li Jian, the following three friends were also there.
"Hehe, Brother Qian is here too. I didn't expect us to gather together today."
Lu Pingchuan saw Qian Chao and Tang Ping flying in the air.
However, Qian Chao staggered when he landed on the ground. If Tang Ping hadn't supported him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.
"Huh? Brother Qian, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the shock, Lu Pingchuan hurried over to help him. He could already see that Qian Chao's complexion was wrong, he looked unusually pale, and he also seemed staggering when walking, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness.
Yanxuan and Li Jian were also shocked when they saw him. He was fine a few days ago, but why is Brother Qian like this today? Ordinarily, he should not have gone out, but how could he be injured in the sect?
After asking Qian Chao to take off his robe, Yanxuan couldn't help but take a breath of air!
Qian Chao had cleaned up the injuries on his body after escaping from the illusion of the mirror. He also had some medicine with him and applied it hastily. But as soon as he took off his outer robe, he saw that although his body was not covered with bruises, there were bruises and swelling. The sword wounds everywhere immediately shocked several of his companions.
"Oh my God! Brother Qian, where did these injuries come from?" Yanxuan asked in surprise.
"Brother Qian, did someone secretly attack you? Tell me and I'll beat him up!" Lu Pingchuan said bitterly.
"Come on, boy Qian, tell me about the stupid things you did!" Tang Ping said angrily.
Although Qian Chao didn't say much on the way here, he finally told Tang Ping briefly about why he was injured all over his body, which made Tang Ping scared, so she scolded him.
After listening to Tang Ping's words, Li Jian knew that there must be something inside, and asked:
"Brother Qian, what happened?"
Before Qian Chao spoke, Tang Ping couldn't help but said:
"This stupid boy, I don't know what he was thinking last night, he actually went to look into the 'water mist mirror' by himself, and ended up being trapped by the illusion of that mirror. That's how he got all the injuries!"
Among the five people present, only Qian Chao and Tang Ping knew how powerful the mirror was. Among the other three, Lu Pingchuan was ignorant about the mirror. Li Jian and Yanxuan knew that the mirror was very important. Now they saw Qian Chao. Only then did I realize that the mirror seemed to have some tricks up its sleeve.
"Not necessarily," Qian Chao said while baring his teeth, "Although it took a bit of risk, it was also very rewarding!"
This is true.
"Hey, Mr. Qian, Sister Yan and I inexplicably sensed the bottleneck of Xiaowu Pass last night. Are you saying..."
"I was in so much pain last night that I didn't even notice it. I only discovered it in the morning."
Speaking of this, Li Jian was still surprised and said:
"I also suddenly felt that my cultivation seemed to have improved a bit while I was resting last night, and I suddenly faced a breakthrough, which also made me very curious."
"Brother Lu, what about you?" Tang Ping asked.
"Uh... I don't know."
"Brother Lu has the best qualifications. It should be the case. Didn't we all make breakthroughs together inexplicably in the past? We can't go wrong this time." Qian Chao said.
"Boy Qian, what did you do last night?"
"Listen to me slowly..."
In this way, Qian Chao told several of his companions the adventures of last night in detail while letting Yanxuan apply medicine for him.
Except for Lu Pingchuan who didn't understand what he heard, the other three people were shocked.
After hearing this, Tang Ping asked hesitantly:
"You mean...there's actually a person sealed inside the water mist mirror...um...didn't you see that guy's appearance clearly?"
"Only one eye can be seen."
Yanxuan asked:
"Then...where's that mirror?"
"It has been handed over to Lin Jian."
At this time, Tang Ping fully understood what Qian Chao meant, and her face was a little moved. She said again:
"If this mirror is really related to the Nian family's ancestor's visit to the fairyland..."
Qian Chao knew that Tang Ping was really attracted to her, so he had to explain the power to her.
"Girl Tang, we'd better not pursue this idea. Firstly, the matter is still vague to us; secondly, who knows what price Patriarch Nian paid for this? In my opinion, the banned That guy is by no means a kind person, and the conditions it proposes can be imagined; thirdly, has any of the Patriarchs who visited the Immortal Realm ever come back? Who knows whether Patriarch Nian succeeded?"
After a pause, Qian Chao looked at Tang Ping's face and continued:
"I know you have elders and a master. Maybe they can use that mirror in the future, but you also saw it this morning. The person who came was Lin Jian. We all know Lin Jian's life experience. His father, Lin Hengzu, is a monk who forms an alchemy. Grandfather Lin Pi is the Grandmaster of the Yuanying level. If you want to use that mirror, it must be the Grandmaster of the Yuanying named Lin Bi. Your master and your sixth grandfather are probably powerless in front of Lin Bi. You must keep it. As for the mirror, you naturally know in your heart whether it is a good thing or not. Moreover, last night I heard from the guy banned in the mirror that many people have looked for it and done things for it. From this, it seems that this mirror is a good thing. I don’t know how many aristocratic families or sects the mirror has passed down, and it finally got into the hands of the Nian family. The Nian family has already produced a Patriarch Nian, but now you see, the Nian family is about to encounter a big disaster. ? Maybe this is how the mirror can constantly find suitable people to do things for it. Think about it again, what will happen to the families who got this water mist mirror in the past? In my opinion, this The mirror is an ominous thing, Girl Tang, you can’t change your mind!"
After hearing this, Tang Ping nodded. Originally, she was really moved after listening to Qian Chao's experience in the illusion of the water mist mirror last night. If such a thing could be in the hands of her sixth grandfather or In the hands of her master, these two old people may be able to use it one day in the future, but after Qian Chao finished speaking, she felt like she was waking up from a dream.
"You're right. I was indeed tempted just now, and even complained that you shouldn't hand over the mirror. Now that I think about it, the mirror may really be an ominous object as you said. My master may have been able to It will take some years for my sixth grandfather to get the chance to go to Yuhu Mountain, but it all depends on chance. Moreover, even if you go to Yuhu Mountain to reach the fairyland, there will still be a long period of time. Every elder should have his or her own destiny. At most, I, as a junior, will serve them wholeheartedly and help them. You are right. That mirror hides such a big secret. It seems that the Nian family is going to be over. Not only is the mirror going to fall. If it falls into the hands of others, it will cause the sect’s wrath because of that boy named Nian, alas!”
After hearing what Tang Ping said, Qian Chao also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"You originally said that after you let me figure it out, you would refine a better mirror for you, but now it seems that I can't do it."
Li Jian had just listened to Qian Chao's words and quite agreed with them. Now that Tang Ping had let go of the matter, he relaxed.
Yanxuan remembered something and said:
"I remember that man named Nian used this mirror to deal with A Ping that night. If this mirror is so powerful, why is it so weak in his hands?"
"That mirror is indeed a powerful thing," Qian Chao replied, "Let's put it this way, I can exert nearly 20% of the power of that mirror. I dare not say that as a foundation-building monk. After all, I have no experience with the foundation-building monks. We have fought, hey, maybe I will be caught as soon as I take out the mirror. This has nothing to do with the mirror, it is because my cultivation level is too low, but as long as the mirror is in my hand, at least no one among the Qi Refining disciples in the sect will He is my opponent. This has nothing to do with my cultivation. It is all about this mirror. Oh, Brother Li, I know that your senses are amazing and you can restrain illusions, but what the mirror can release is not just illusions, but It’s an extremely powerful formation, even if I know some formations it still leaves me covered in injuries!”
Hearing this, Li Jian nodded in approval.
"Also, even if my cultivation level improves, it will not directly increase the power of the mirror. The mirror can only become more powerful because of my control over this mirror. Let's put it this way, there are spiritual weapons in the weapon refining. Magical weapons are divided into spiritual weapons, spiritual weapons are used by us, magical weapons are used by foundation-building monks, and further up, those used by the seniors who form pills are called magic weapons, but this mirror is not within this category. As for That boy from the Nian family can only scratch the surface of the power of the mirror. The mirror in his hands is of no use other than bringing trouble to the Nian family."
Tang Ping agreed with this. After all, the reputation of this "water mist mirror" is really great. She said:
"There are four other mirrors that are as famous as this water mist mirror, namely the Red Sun Mirror, the Spring Valley Mirror, the Jin Ning Mirror and the Xiong Tu Mirror. It is said that the Red Sun Mirror has always been in the hands of someone in Muyang Sect, and the other three The whereabouts of the mirror are unknown, and I wonder if there are such secrets in those four mirrors?"
After a pause, Tang Ping saw that several people were attracted by his words and were thinking about it, so Tang Ping said again:
"Okay, I've handed over the mirror anyway, so I won't think about it anymore, Mr. Qian, the five of us in front of us have reached the bottleneck of Xiaowu Pass again. This is really weird. We have made breakthroughs several times in the past, although our souls We all have different qualifications, but we can always break through together. Now it is the important moment of Xiaowu Pass, and we have reached the bottleneck together again. Don't you think this is weird?"
"Well," Yanxuan interrupted at this time, "I asked Brother Li. Last night, the time when Brother Li noticed the bottleneck of Xiaowu Pass was the same time as when A Ping and I woke up. It's really strange. !”
Qian Chao considered it and said:
"Of course I have been paying close attention to this matter. To be honest, I have an idea in my mind, but I still don't think clearly about it in many places. If you give me a while, if I can clarify this idea, it will be helpful to us. It’s of great benefit.”
"Big benefit?" Tang Ping was suspicious and muttered.
"Well, this is what the guy in the mirror said when he seduced me last night, but the great benefits I mentioned are completely different from what he said. This matter concerns the five of us. Now I can't explain it to myself. Let me figure it out. Let me tell everyone again.”
Although it is strange at this time, it can only be left to Qian Chao to figure out. Although it is strange, it is always a good thing for five people to break through at the same time. Since Qian Chao said that he will wait until he figures it out, he will let it go for now.
"By the way, I wonder if you have heard something," Tang Ping said as she knelt down to look at Qian Chao's injuries. "That Yan Shuang, I heard that he is going to become a disciple."
"Apprenticeship?"
"Well, Brother Li, do you have a senior Lu Suyang in Mu Xiufeng?"
"Yes, Senior Lu can be regarded as the person in charge of Mu Xiufeng. It is said that he does not participate much in the affairs within the sect, but matters within Mu Xiufeng are usually decided by Senior Lu. What? That girl Yan Shuang wants to worship me? Is it this Senior Lu?"
"Yes, this is Senior Lu..."
"Why is Yan Shuang's apprenticeship... a big deal?" Yanxuan asked.
"Of course, if she doesn't become a disciple, even though she is in the Five Spirits, she is actually still a disciple of Jiu Gen Yuan, and others will still view her as a disciple of Ji Gen Yuan. There will always be a barrier. After experiencing this After what happened, Yan Shuang was probably grateful for the sect's care for her, so she went to the elders in the sect to ask for help. Naturally, the elders were willing, and she was a sword cultivator, so someone went to Mu. The monks in Xiufeng discussed this matter, and in the future Yan Shuang will be a disciple of our Wuling Sect Mu Xiufeng, which is always a good thing. Later, the seniors finally felt that it was inappropriate to worship anyone, and only this senior Lu was the best Appropriately, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held in a few days. It is said that the sect attaches great importance to it, so it will be extremely grand, and everyone who has contributed to that night will also be invited."
Women all love gossip, and the two women present are no exception. After listening to what Tang Ping said, Yanxuan suddenly thought of something and said:
"Now that she has become a disciple, does that mean she doesn't have to marry someone from our Five Spirits? That night there was a man named Luo from Motian Cliff. He came all the way here just to save her. He seemed to be thinking about it. I want to take that Yan Shuang with me. He was injured at that time and I treated him. The injury was really serious."
"Well, I also know about this. That guy has been in our Five Spirits these past few days, and it seems that an elder has been talking to him about things..."
Qian Chao was naturally bored to hear these things, but at this time Tang Ping came closer to help Yanxuan. Qian Chao had never had any ill thoughts towards Yanxuan, but after Tang Ping came closer, he felt a friendly and fresh breath. , Qian Chao thought of watching Tang Ping dance in the illusion of the water mist mirror last night, and couldn't help but feel excited and his face turned red all of a sudden!
"Hey, Mr. Qian, are you in pain? Why is your face so red?"
Tang Ping looked up and asked curiously.
"Be gentle..."
"Where did I exert too much force!"
Tang Ping muttered.
None of them paid attention, but Li Jian, who had a clear mind and a clear mind, raised the corners of his mouth slightly for some reason!
