Hearing that Wen Liang was planning to get rid of him and that he was also recruiting evil cultivators from outside to attack him, Qian Chao immediately knew that the matter was not simple and said:
"Senior Brother Chu, come on, sit down and talk slowly."
The doors and windows were closed. Qian Chao and Chu Yuan sat across from each other in the room. Chu Yuan said:
"Junior brother Qian, I don't know much about what you have done recently, but it seems that Wen Liang has been angered by you recently and must get rid of you. I just found out about this not long ago, so I came back to find you. "
"Then, how did Senior Brother Chu know?"
"That's it. There is a person named Lin Ke in the ten-year meeting. This person has the best personal relationship with Xing Rang, so he knows the most about Xing Rang. And I saved Lin Ke's life in the early years, so he The relationship with me is not bad either. Recently, several new faces have appeared in Hanchichi, and they are also mysterious and strange. There is no such thing on weekdays. I met Lin Ke a few days ago. When I asked about this, he told me that they were all evil cultivators invited by Xing Rang from some unknown evil weapon hall outside. They seemed to be trying to help Wen Liang get rid of a boy named Qian, Junior Brother Qian. That made sense. It must be you, otherwise who else could it be? I was very surprised when I heard that. In order not to arouse suspicion, I didn’t ask any more questions. During the few days I stayed in the cold pool, I calmly tried to find a way to let Lin Ke talked a little more and finally managed to get something out of him. It is said that Junior Brother Qian, you seemed to have almost ruined a major event for Wen Liang, which made Wen Liang extremely angry, so he wanted to kill you. Now He is stepping up his plans for you, preparing to get rid of you in one fell swoop. Those evil cultivators were recruited by Wen Liang and Xing Rang from outside to deal with you. It is said that in addition to these evil cultivators, Wen Liang has other arrangements, but I don't know about those. Okay, Junior Brother Qian, this is all I can find out, but it’s already very serious. You must be more careful recently, and it’s best not to go out, Wen Liang... that’s a very powerful person!"
Hearing this, Qian Chao understood what was going on. It must have been caused by the five of him saving Zuo You last time, but... I heard Chu Yuan say that several of him almost ruined Wen Liang's big event that time. , this shows that what Wen Liang planned is still going on. The last incident of saving Zuo You had an impact on Wen Liang, but the impact should not be big.
"Well, this news is very important to me. Thank you, Senior Brother Chu, for telling me. Don't worry, we will deal with it." Qian Chao said.
"That's good. I'll feel relieved after telling Junior Brother Qian this. I can't stay here longer with Junior Brother Qian, so I'll go back now to avoid suspicion from others."
"Senior Brother Chu, there are a few more words I want to say. You must not deliberately inquire about these things while you are there, lest they will suspect you. Just listen. Those people are extremely vicious. If you are suspected by them, it will be very dangerous. .”
"Well, don't worry, I understand this."
"There is one more thing, Senior Brother Chu, which is about your foundation building..."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Chu Yuan asked immediately after hearing Qian Chao mention his foundation building.
"I'm afraid that you may wrong Senior Brother Chu in the future. You once said that in the past ten years, almost no one has built a foundation because they got the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp. But if Senior Brother Chu builds a foundation, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others. Even if they can't ask you face to face then, they might also suspect the relationship between you and me. In my opinion, dealing with Wen Liang is not something that can be done overnight. At that time, Wen Liang had not been eliminated. If they become suspicious because of Senior Brother Chu's foundation building, many things may be wasted. We have discussed a strategy, which is to build the foundation after Senior Brother Chu Before that, we arranged for Senior Brother Chu to fake his death, so that Senior Brother Chu would disappear from the eyes of those people, and then those people would not know about it, and naturally there would be no further trouble. This matter also depends on Senior Brother Chu’s wishes. If Senior Brother Chu thinks it is feasible, , in the future, your fake death will be arranged by the disciples of Senior Tang Bo. After the foundation is established, you will be temporarily stationed in a certain state to go on business. Stay away from the Wuling Sect first. When things here come to light, Chu Chu Senior Brother does not have these restrictions, I wonder what Senior Brother Chu wants?"
Chu Yuan naturally knew about the relationship between Tang Ping and Tang Bonian. He had considered what Qian Chao just said before. Indeed, as Qian Chao said, if Wen Liang was eliminated before he established the foundation, then Of course, it doesn't matter even if everyone knows about his foundation building, but when he was building the foundation, Wen Liang was still at large, which would probably arouse the suspicion of Wen Liang, Xing Rang and others, and would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Qian Chao. As for the method mentioned by Qian Chao, Chu Yuan agreed very much. From this, he knew that there must be elders secretly supporting Qian Chao in dealing with Wen Liang and Xing Rang. Now it seems that it must be Uncle Tang. Elderly, Wen Liang's affairs can be carefully planned step by step and carried out bit by bit, but his foundation building matters must be carried out as soon as the time is up, otherwise Chu Yuan will die due to the exhaustion of Yangshou. , so Chu Yuan readily accepted Qian Chao's proposal, and after the two said a few words, Chu Yuan quietly said goodbye and left.
After sending Chu Yuan away and closing the door, Qian Chao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect to learn such news just after returning to the sect. He would have to discuss this matter with his companions later, maybe... There is no way to find a way to take advantage of it.
…
Inside the cave of Fairy Guhuo.
Tang Ping was very careful about how Yanxuan heard the news about the appearance of a big bird that looked like a green Luan in Shouwo Mountain, and then told herself how the five people discussed it at Qian Chao's residence and how to get to Shouwo Mountain. How they carefully entered Shouhuo Mountain under the leadership of Qian Chao, what encounters they had during the process, how they dealt with it, how they found Lin Ji, Lin Yuan, Hou Bao and those people in the center of Shouwo Mountain. How did Pingpeng wake up with the blood of monster beasts? How did the five of them protect themselves in the turmoil caused by Pingpeng? Then suddenly Pingpeng gave birth to a child? How did Qian Chao fight off the monsters that gathered together? Then the five people escorted Lin Ji and Lin Yuan all the way from Shouwu Mountain to Ruixuan Town, and told Fairy Guhuo all these details.
After hearing this, Fairy Guhuo's first thought was that this girl was lying!
Where is Shouwo Mountain? Even the monks of Lian Dan must be cautious when entering. Of course they are not afraid of the many mid-level monsters inside, but are worried about the layout of spiritual veins that is different from other places and the extremely dense black mist. , after all, it was arranged into a cage-like place by the ancestors of the Wuling Sect. As for the screen tent, there is no need to worry since it has been blocked by the evil tree. At this point, I need to say one more thing. Fairy Guhuo, like Tang Ping, is a monk with water spiritual roots. Therefore, she is very troubled by the rich earth spiritual energy in Shouwo Mountain. Of course, with her cultivation level, it is safe to go in. When she came out, the earth aura had little impact on her. But Tang Ping actually went in. What kind of cultivation was she, she could go in and come out unharmed? This alone made Fairy Guhuo very suspicious.
But even if he is suspicious, his precious apprentice is sitting next to him alive, guarding the situation in Wok Mountain. Not only that, these two piglets with Pingpeng bloodline are absolutely Pingpeng. Son, this cannot be false, so it seems that what this girl said is not false.
In addition, Fairy Guhuo also heard from Tang Ping's words that except for Qian Chao, none of them seemed to have taken action during their trip to guard the Wo Mountain. Of course, when dealing with several Qi Refining disciples, the one named Li Jian's sword cultivator took action, but it was not to deal with the mid-level monsters inside. From what Tang Ping said, it seemed that Qian Chao was dealing with all the monsters inside, and the rest were just following along.
When did this kid Qian who had no disciples become so powerful? In the end, he even defeated countless mid-level monsters at the same time. Such a thing... even a foundation-building monk, such as his disciple Ruo Yan, killed It's easy to kill a few mid-level monsters, but it's impossible to repel so many at the same time even if you think about it!
is it possible?
"What you said is a little too mysterious. Let me ask you first. Shouwo Mountain is full of earth spiritual energy, which is a good thing for that silly boy Lu Pingchuan, but it is very harmful to you. How do you stay in it and stay there?" Not harmed by it?"
"Hey, this, Master, this is what Mr. Qian gave me. Wearing it can isolate all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although it is a little uncomfortable to wear it, it will not be affected by the earthly spiritual energy there."
Tang Ping handed over the small sign she wore in Shouwo Mountain, and Fairy Guhuo took it in her hand. She had some experience with the art of battle, but basically knew nothing about it. However, with the intuition of a pill-forming monk, The small sign in her hand was indeed quite famous. After weighing the sign, she continued to ask:
"According to what you just said, when we enter Shouwo Mountain this time, the only way to deal with the mid-level monsters there is Qian Chao, right?"
"Well, that's true. Brother Li stabbed Hou Bao twice, but when it comes to dealing with the monsters inside, it was indeed Mr. Qian who took action."
"Girl Tang, there are all mid-level monsters in Shouwo Mountain. Generally speaking, non-foundation-building monks can't deal with them. Well, if what you said is true, then... is there something you haven't told Mr. Qian yet? I?"
Regarding Qian Chao's apprenticeship, Tang Ping had not told her master. Unexpectedly, Fairy Guhuo could see the clues from this. Tang Ping hesitated before she heard Fairy Guhuo continue:
"Don't worry, Ah Jiu has a strict mouth and won't go out and talk nonsense."
"Humph, you can't believe me!" Ah Jiu said angrily from the side.
"Oh" Tang Ping then told his master about Qian Chao's apprenticeship, and finally said, "Master, it's not that I didn't tell you at that time. It was my sixth grandfather who forced me to swear not to tell anyone. Now, Qian The kid himself knows it and made it clear to us, so of course the oath doesn’t count.”
Fairy Guhuo was a little shocked when she heard this. She naturally still remembered that after these little guys got rid of An Shiqi, Tang Bonian once wanted to help Qian Chao's apprenticeship, but was rejected by Qian Chao. , that time Tang Bonian also promised Qian Chao that no matter which elder of Jiuxuan he wanted to be a disciple of in the future, as long as he came to ask for Tang Bonian, Tang Bonian would go to Qian Chao once, and later Kang Fu also added Come in, so Fairy Guhuo also agreed to contribute to Qian Chao's apprenticeship. How long has it been since that incident, and Qian Chao has never been apprenticed to him. Fairy Guhuo is a rather traditional person. She believes that if a disciple wants to be successful, he should choose a famous teacher. Blindly following a wild path will not achieve great things. Therefore, she is still a little dissatisfied with Qian Chao and feels that this child is a bit blind. Higher than the top.
It was not until now that Fairy Guhuo learned from her disciples that Qian Chao already had a disciple, and that it was the Master Mo who was on Yuhu Mountain. The Master Mo actually admired Qian Chao very much. Under the arrangement, Qian Chao was actually introduced to an old friend of his for many years. Could it be that Mo Zu's old friend was an alchemy monk?
This money tide... is such a blessing!
No wonder he dared to boast beforehand that as long as he followed him in Shouwo Mountain, everything would be fine. No wonder he could repel numerous mid-level monsters in Shouwo Mountain in one fell swoop. His master must be a Nascent Soul. A powerful person of the same level, otherwise how could Qian Chao have such means!
"Ajiu, what Tang Ping said just now must not be leaked out, do you understand?" After hearing this, Fairy Guhuo tilted her head and said to Ajiu.
"Yes." Ah Jiu is also very smart. This matter concerns the Yuanying monks on Yuhu Mountain, so she naturally knows the importance.
At this point, Fairy Guhuo no longer doubted Tang Ping's words.
"Since Mr. Qian made it so clear beforehand, why did you insist on guarding Wok Mountain? Is it because you were worried? Are you worried that if the rumor is true, you will miss Qingluan?" Fairy Guhuo asked. road.
"Well, that's it. Care leads to chaos. Also, the person we're tracking down, Wen Liang, may be making a fuss about the spiritual veins. If the rumors are true, it's probably what happened to the spiritual veins in Shouwo Mountain. The change was probably caused by Wen Liang, and we might be able to see some clues from Shouwo Mountain, so we went there."
Fairy Guhuo changed the topic and started asking about other things.
"Then...you have never seen her in Shouwo Mountain from beginning to end?"
The "her" that Fairy Guhuo asked about was naturally Shangguan Hong.
"No, never. Brother Li noticed her during this period, but it was just a candlelight and no trace of her was seen."
"A little candlelight?"
"Well, the disciple also saw it. There was a little bit of white light in the distance. No matter how much the screen was tossed, the white light never went out."
"Hmph! Is it Xiangzhuzhu? That must be her!" Fairy Guhuo turned pale when she said this.
"Master, what is the elephant fat candle?"
"In the snowfields of the Far North, there is a white-haired monster called Bai Meng. It is similar to an elephant, but as big as a mountain. This monster is extremely powerful and invincible. Its fat is made into candles, and the same is true for pearls. This kind of candle is called an elephant fat candle, which is..."
After a pause, Fairy Guhuo continued:
"Ordinary people rarely use this kind of candle, but...your Uncle Qiu...travels around the world looking for rare and strange animals, and this elephant fat candle is a must-have for him!"
Fairy Guhuo could naturally tell from Tang Ping's words that someone was secretly trying to harm her. The two boys from the Lin family who woke up Ping Peng were just being designed to kill someone with a borrowed knife. However, they were resisted by Qian Chao's methods and then hid. The man who got up used his tricks to make Pingpeng give birth to an heir in advance, which caused the beasts in Shouwo Mountain to go crazy. Fairy Guhuo naturally knew when the last time Pingpeng gave birth to a child, and based on that year, it was pushed back five hundred years. It was then that Pingpeng gave birth to another child, but it had only been more than three hundred years. If Pingpeng gave birth to another child, someone must be causing trouble.
"When your master was teaching me and your uncle Qiu, I was interested in how to tame and nurture spiritual beasts and put in the most effort, while your uncle Qiu was interested in identifying the bloodline of spiritual beasts. I am more interested in how to make them give birth to heirs with pure blood. Among them is the method of making the monsters give birth early, but I don't like those, so I am not good at it. Pingpeng gives birth to a child every five hundred years, but when guarding the wok In a place like a mountain, even if I was there, I couldn't stop the many monsters there from competing for Pingpeng's offspring. Therefore, there were no Pingpeng cubs among Yuling, but there were always records of when Pingpeng gave birth. It has only been more than three hundred years since Pingpeng gave birth to a child again. Huh, it seems that Shangguan girl has obtained the true inheritance of your Uncle Qiu, and she is even more determined to win Qingluan, so she does not hesitate to give you this Eliminate the opponent!"
"Master, why is that senior sister Shangguan always so hostile to me? I've felt this way since the first time I saw her..."
Fairy Guhuo sighed and said:
"Well, we have to talk about it since the Shangguan girl entered the sect a long time ago. Your Master Qiu has a close relationship with the Shangguan family. I don't know the specific reason, but he has always taken good care of the Shangguan family, so when When Shangguan Hong entered the sect and wanted to become her disciple, it was your Master Qiu who worked hard for her. At that time, he wanted Shangguan Hong to become my disciple. At that time, you, Senior Sister Ruoyu, had not yet established the foundation. Although I didn’t want to do it anymore. Accepting a disciple, but for the sake of my senior brother, I still met the Shangguan girl, but as soon as I saw it, I felt that this girl was not simple. Although she looked like a Zhou Zheng, she was definitely a troublemaker, so I suggested that you Senior Sister Ruoyun is my closed disciple. She will no longer accept disciples in the future, so she refuses. Well, later on, Shangguan Hong was accepted as a disciple by your uncle. You must have heard something about her. She is a person who can stir up troubles. Yu, the troublemaker, was once expelled from the sect. If it hadn't been for you, Master Qiu, to protect her, I'm afraid she would have died. Alas, later on, you entered the sect. Your sixth grandfather is obviously better than you. Uncle Qiu can be messy and will not give up until he achieves his goal. Then, you will become my closed disciple. Because of this, my senior brother also complained about me, not to mention that Shangguan girl who is very worried. No, she would never dare to provoke me, but it’s normal to see you displeased. I think she was competing with you about Qingluan and was worried about being overtaken by you, so she had that idea. "
After a pause, Fairy Guhuo continued:
"From Master's point of view, you might as well let it go for now. After all, her master is my senior brother. So far, your master's sect only has two senior brothers, us, and I This senior brother has only been traveling around the world looking for the spiritual beast he wants. He has no intention of accepting or teaching apprentices. So far, he has only accepted two daughters of the Shangguan family as his apprentices. Shangguan Hong is still his eldest son. Disciple, if you hate her for this incident and take revenge on her in the future, if you really get rid of her, it will not be good for us brothers and sisters. Ping Yatou, I want you to send the two boys from the Lin family to Ruixuan Town. Shangguan Hong Dingran knows what you mean and will probably never provoke you again. Well, I promise Master that even if you have another dispute with her in the future, don’t hurt her life before the foundation is established. If she harms you again after the foundation is established, then At that time, you can just let go of your hands and feet, and Master will ignore it."
In Fairy Guhuo's view, it was unwise for Shangguan Hong to provoke Tang Ping. She provoked five people. Tang Ping was a difficult person. Coupled with Qian Chao and others, Shangguan Hong basically had no chance of winning, but After all, Fairy Guhuo was hindered by her brother-in-law relationship with Qiu Huahe, so she begged Tang Ping not to take revenge for the time being.
"But, Master, Senior Sister Shangguan should be able to build the foundation before me."
"Don't worry, if she builds the foundation before you, master will naturally take care of her and let her know the importance of it!" When she said this, Fairy Guhuo's tone became a little more serious.
Up to now, the master and the apprentice had basically finished everything they needed to say. Finally, Tang Ping hugged the two dark piglets and asked:
"Master, what should we do with these two little guys?" To be honest, Tang Ping still didn't want to think about these two ugly little black pigs.
"Well! You don't want it?" Ah Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's a Pingpeng, a ferocious beast cub that no one can beg for. Is it possible that she fought tooth and nail to defend Wo Mountain just to get you a snack?" Fairy Guhuo said angrily, and then said to Tang Ping. "What else can you do, keep it! Although it is a pity that this thing is not old enough, at least it should be second only to Xiaobai and Dahuang among your spiritual beasts. Alas, what a pity, if it is not old enough. , it can even compete with Xiaobai and Dahuang!”
"Didn't you say that the screen tents all have four legs and two heads? How come only their tails are born together?" Tang Ping asked.
"They have said that time is not enough. In a few years, their bodies will slowly grow together. If they are born by then, they will look exactly like that big screen tent."
"Then what should we do? They have two tails and they can't walk well. They might bump into something."
"Simple, bring it to me." Fairy Guhuo stretched out her hand.
The two little pigs were placed in front of Fairy Guhuo again. They had suffered at the hands of Fairy Guhuo just now. Now they were frightened and wanted to escape, but a tail tied them both like a rope. They grabbed each other, and they kept exerting force to stretch one tail straight.
"They look exactly the same, so be it!"
As she spoke, Fairy Guhuo stretched out a finger and scratched the straight tail, and the tail was suddenly broken. The two piglets couldn't hold back the momentum and fell forward, and then the pain of the broken tail was felt. They started screaming again.
This stunned Tang Ping. She didn't expect that the solution was so simple. If she had known it, she would have chopped off their tails with one sword. After a while, she would slowly tell the master about guarding the Wo Mountain. What a scolding!
"This way you can tell them apart. Hey, one has a long tail and the other has a short tail. Hmm, let's call them long tail and short tail according to the way you named them."
"oh."
