Ma Hu has been really bored lately.
Because of Bai Lin, Qian Chao was blocked outside the sect by those unconvinced children of the family the last time he went out, clamoring to challenge him. A guy like Ma Hu who likes fun will naturally not miss this opportunity. Not only did he witness Qian Chao's ten-game winning streak, and he also made a fortune in spiritual stones by taking advantage of the opportunity to sit in the banker, was originally a very happy thing for him, but in the ninth game that day, the person who challenged Qian Chao was a man from the Tian family in Qizhou That competition opened Ma Hu's eyes, but at the same time, it also gave him a chance to avenge Senior Brother Xun.
What he wanted was to find Wen Liang who killed Brother Xun through the Tian family, and then either capture or kill him.
So that night he went to Qian Chao and talked about the Tian family's affairs and his plans. He originally thought that when the Tian family came to the clan, Qian Chao must have plans for them, so he went to Qian Chao to discuss how to cooperate. .
Unexpectedly, after meeting, Qian Chao persuaded him not to take any action for the time being. According to Qian Chao's wishes, he could just stay in the sect honestly. Qian Chao already had a countermeasure, and something would happen later. I will discuss it with him.
Ma Hu knows his shortcomings, which is that he often does things without thinking ahead and is easily impulsive. Whether it was analyzing the situation or planning the layout, Ma Hu still admired Qian Chao. Therefore, although Ma Hu was a little reluctant, he was not willing to ruin Qian Chao's affairs because of himself, so he endured it in the sect.
Of course, a guy like Ma Hu can't stay idle in the sect. A devil-like figure like him will always find something interesting to do when he seems bored.
In the past few days, some news reached Ma Hu's ears.
There have been many new disciples from aristocratic families in the sect recently. To be honest, there are very few of them who can catch Ma Hu's eyes. He has no interest in those people at all. However, when he was chatting with some well-informed guys in the sect recently, , Ma Hu realized that in the recent period, people disappeared outside one after another, and those people who disappeared turned out to be children of aristocratic families who had just arrived.
Naturally, they are not considered missing within the sect, but those people never came back after leaving the sect, and they were only noticed after a long time.
From the perspective of ordinary disciples, they don't have a good impression of the children of these aristocratic families. Of course, it is none of their business to never come back after leaving. Some even hope that the more such things happen, the better.
Ma Hu didn't pay much attention when he first heard the news. Similar things often happened to Wuling disciples. If he encountered any danger outside and his life was ruined, he could only blame himself for being so obedient.
But after listening to it more, Ma Hu got a taste of it.
First of all, naturally not all the children of the aristocratic families are away and cannot come back. If this is the case, it is a very serious matter for the Wuling Sect and must be investigated.
Then, Ma Hu discovered the clues about those guys who could not come back after making some inquiries. They were all scum from aristocratic families with a notorious reputation.
This is interesting!
Among the Qi refining disciples of the Five Spirit Sect, Ma Hu was a master of blackmail. He immediately smelled a different smell...the smell of spirit stones.
From Ma Hu's point of view, he saw some traces of business in it. Of course, only Ma Hu called the shady things he was used to doing "business"!
Although Ma Hu has been practicing in the sect, countless casual cultivators have died in his hands. He can be regarded as the one who knows the most about casual cultivators among the qi-refining disciples in the sect. This is absolutely true. .
After hearing the news that many of the children of aristocratic families who had committed evil deeds had disappeared, Ma Hu immediately guessed that these guys must have been rewarded for their previous evil deeds. There was no danger under the protection of the family, but now that they have entered the Wuling Sect, they no longer have the protection of their respective families. When they go out, they may go out in groups of three or two or alone, which is equivalent to a piece of meat on their own. Jumped onto the chopping board.
Ma Hu knew that there were people in the cultivation world who would be offered rewards for their numerous evil deeds. Such people were not only the delinquent children of aristocratic families, but also some casual cultivators who had committed evil deeds. Generally speaking, rewards were offered to these people. It's a huge amount of spiritual stone, which will make those evildoers hunted down everywhere. Of course, it is not easy to earn spiritual stones through such means. The above two types of people are either protected by their own tribe or they are cunning and vicious and difficult to deal with. Therefore, whether they want to earn the spiritual stone bonus or There are many people who have died because of the bounties on their heads. Because this kind of thing is dangerous, not many people actually make a living from it.
Also, although some people in aristocratic families offer such bounties, even if they kill the person for whom the bounty is placed, they will usually use magic to change their appearance when receiving the bonus. After all, you can get spiritual stones from killing people. It doesn't sound good, and it's easy to make enemies. Therefore, most of the people doing this kind of business are casual cultivators.
Only people like casual cultivators who have no worries are willing to engage in such a bloody and offending business.
But now, such a thing happened outside the Five Spirits Sect. Ma Hu concluded that there must be some casual cultivators who had followed them all the way into the Five Spirits Sect's territory, waiting for opportunities to look for those guys with bounties on their heads, take their heads, and then go there again. Get that bonus.
The only thing Ma Hu didn't know was whether these recent things were done by one person or a few casual cultivators. However, no matter how many people there were, the people who did these things must be bold fanatics!
This is the Five Spirits Sect. Although the area beyond the sect is large, it is also the boundary of the Five Spirits Sect.
Moreover, even if the dead people were scum with a lot of misdeeds before and deserved their death, after all, they were sent by various aristocratic families to participate in the "Cheng Guan En Examination" next year, and they were nominally considered disciples of the Five Spirits.
It's really brave to kill the disciples of Five Spirits in the realm of Five Spirits.
Well, there is nothing to do these days. Ma Hu thought, it would be better to go out and search. If he can find those or that bold madman, Ma Hu is very similar to the majesty of the Zhengyi Zhengwuling Sect, so that The other party knew that Wuling Sect was not a place where people could act wildly.
Of course, taking advantage of others is his ultimate goal.
One more thing to say here: Normally, Ma Hu might not be interested in such a thing. He wants to take advantage of others, and there are many people in the sect who he can attack. But recently, within the sect, there have been significantly fewer of those boys who usually do evil things, and the remaining ones have also become much more restrained. Speaking of which, this was thanks to Dusha who died in the hands of Qian Chao. After Dusha practiced evil arts, he launched a bloody and crazy revenge outside the sect, but anyone who used to bully him while he was down was Almost all of his people died in his hands, and those killed by Du Sha were naturally not people who knew the rules and regulations, but were notorious villains in the sect who would make ordinary disciples tremble in fear when they saw them. After Dusha made trouble, he almost died, and the remaining ones understood what it would be like to force a coward to a dead end, and they have restrained themselves a lot since then.
Just like this, it caused Ma Hu to lose a lot of income. In the past, when he earned spiritual stones, he would either rob those bad boys or go to Ruixuan Town to find ideas for casual cultivators. Now, the guy who sneaked into the Five Spirit Sect would definitely He is also a casual cultivator, and he has made a lot of gains during this period. If he can capture that person or that group of people, they can save their lives, but they have killed so many people, and naturally they have also lost a lot of souls. Shi, these Ma Hu will accept it with a smile.
It was with this thought in mind that Ma Hu left the sect all the way.
…
"Hey! Is that the sea there?"
Lu Pingchuan shouted.
After all, the five of them were close to the seaside. Since they were here, they had to take a look. So after finding out the reason why Qingluan left at Pinghaifeng, Qian Chao and the other five headed south, flying straight towards the seaside. go.
In the distance, the originally boundless and undulating mountains appeared with a bright blue border at the end of the sky. As they flew closer and closer, the blue border gradually spread. Only then did Lu Pingchuan realize When I saw that piece of blue, it was the sea water, and I couldn't help but scream out in joy.
There is indeed the sea.
Among the five of them, Tang Ping and Yanxuan had seen the sea, but Yanxuan had only seen it when she was a child. She did not live well in the Yan family when she was a child. She was not in the mood and was not allowed to play at the beach. Now I can go to the beach with a few good friends, and I feel naturally relaxed.
The rest of Qian Chao, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan saw the vastness of the boundless sea water for the first time, and were naturally quite surprised and happy.
As the five people flew, a piece of blue sea slowly spread out in front of them. The five people looked far away in the air, and they could only see a shallow line at the end of the sky, which was the blue sea water and the azure blue sea. The dividing line between the sky and the sky is almost invisible to the casual observer. It only feels like the sea water and the sky merge into one in a distant place.
When I came to the beach, I saw that under the sun, there were no waves at this time, but the sparkling sea water reflected the sunshine and extended straight to infinity like gold. There were sparkling waves nearby, but in the distance there was only the sea and sky.
The five people fell in the air to the white sand beach at their feet. They were so surprised that many crabs quickly fled into the cracks in the rocks. Lu Pingchuan even chased them with shouts, but after catching them, they were disgusted by the small size and lack of crabs. How much meat was thrown back into the sea casually after seeing how fresh it was.
Both Yanxuan and Li Jian were attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them, looking at everything in front of them with smiles on their faces.
But Tang Ping's expression was a little less cheerful. Qian Chao could see clearly from the side and knew that she was still worried about not finding Qingluan's egg, so he took advantage of Yanxuan's opportunity to pick up shells on the beach. , came closer and whispered:
"Do you still remember what I said after we came back from Hongxia Valley and you went to find me and showed me your leather scroll?"
(See Volume 4: Trial of Feathers, Chapter 183: The Beauty from Far Away.)
Tang Ping turned around and looked over. She naturally remembered that it was because of the leather scroll that Qian Chao saw through the secret of her spiritual root. Then he asserted at that time that her third natal spiritual beast must have been during the foundation building. can be obtained.
"Is it really going to be then?" Tang Ping asked in a low voice. Only Qian Chao knew the secret of her spiritual root.
"Girl Tang, believe me, even if we find the egg before we build the foundation, the little green luan inside will break out of the shell when we build the foundation. This is true."
"Why?"
"I have consulted some classics, and it is the same for several senior ancestors like you. This... just like what senior Guhuo said, it may be due to the fate between you spirit-controlling monks and spiritual beasts. Now, If fate is not there, there is no point in being anxious. When fate arrives, we will naturally find it. Don't worry, although Shangguan Hong is arrogant and arrogant, and although she has the help of her master, from my point of view, whether it is her or her sister, You are not blessed with the help of the true spirit. If you already have two, you don’t have to worry too much about the third one. Instead, it is better to practice hard so that the Qingluan can come to you faster."
What Qian Chao said is quite right. Not only the Shangguan sisters, but also their master, senior brother Qiu Huahe, searched all over the world to find a fox with the blood of the Sky Fox to raise, but in the end, It’s not all in vain! But Tang Ping's Xiaobai, who is of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox bloodline, appeared beside Tang Ping herself. This was probably fate.
Tang Ping was comforted by Qian Chao and felt a lot more relieved. She no longer had the same tangle and anxiety as before. The sea breeze blew and she felt relaxed and happy. Looking at the sea in front of her was even more picturesque!
