After a day of practice, the five of them were exhausted and had gained something. It was almost evening, and they were all drinking tea and talking in Qian Chao's room.
After practicing, under the guidance of Qian Chao, Yanxuan and Tang Ping already knew how to use the "incarnation talisman". They were eager to try it and each used an incarnation talisman, looking in front of them as if they were looking in a mirror. His other self is already very surprising. What is even more surprising is that this false body has the same mind as his own. What the false body sees is what he sees; what the false body touches is what he sees. I feel the same way; I can also control the movement, sitting and lying of this fake body. As long as I think of something in my mind, the fake body will do it immediately.
Yanxuan controlled his avatar to pour tea into an empty teacup, and then handed the teacup in front of him. She reached out to take it. Everything seemed very natural, which made Yanxuan beam with joy.
Tang Ping, on the other hand, controlled her fake body to tease several of her spirit beasts. Among her spirit beasts, only Dahuang could tell the difference between true and false. Xiaobai looked back and forth in confusion, while the rest were completely confused. After the fake body was deceived, and seeing a large group of spiritual birds and beasts running around the room amused by his fake body, Tang Ping suddenly asked:
"Boy Qian, can this fake body use magic methods?"
As soon as these words came out, even Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian stopped and looked at Qian Chao. They had not thought about this issue before.
"This..." Qian Chao pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid it depends on each person. Well, I can use the fake body to use my own methods, but I'm afraid you guys need more practice."
"Oh, can you do it? How far can you go?" Tang Ping asked again.
"At the beginning, I didn't think about what tricks I could use the prosthetic body to perform. Haha, I used the prosthetic body to be with me at first. I could read several books at the same time, and I could also remember the books I read. , and then I thought about whether I could use my own methods. I tried it several times, and the fake body can indeed use several simple methods, such as casting spiritual swords, using talismans, and simply arranging some formations, but in one of these First, it is very tiring. You have to multitask, and you will easily get tired after a long time. Secondly, using a fake body to use your own means consumes more spiritual energy than using the means directly. My means are nothing more than spiritual weapons, talismans. There are also formations. These methods do not consume much spiritual energy compared to spells, so I can sustain it. But if you are Tang Yatou or Sister Yan, if your spells are used with a fake body, how much spiritual energy will they consume? I don’t know, as for Brother Li and Brother Lu, you two are close at hand, and I don’t even know, but your spiritual roots are better than mine, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
One more thing to say here is that this clone talisman has become a standing thing for the five people since then. However, no matter how hard the other four people try, it has always been difficult to use the fake body to perform their own methods, so they can only be used as A fake body is used to lure the enemy. Among the four, Tang Ping is the best at controlling his own fake body, but it is still difficult to use his own ice control methods or illusions. Only Qian Chao, this clone talisman became his sharp weapon, and he used it superbly. In the future, he even once surrounded a group of monks with ulterior motives, and then Qian Chao, who was numerous and difficult to distinguish between true and false, came together Start beating those people to pieces. The reason for such a difference is not that the avatar talismans Qian Chao gave to his four companions were different from the ones he used. The talismans were all the same and there was no difference. The only difference was Qian Chao himself.
Qian Chao is also a person with extraordinary talents. Among the five of them, it was Li Jian who was the first to show extraordinary talents. His amazing innate sense has always been a strong support for the five of them. Qian Chao's talent is not noticeable. Those who have read the previous article should remember that Qian Chao was once scolded by his father as a "much-minded thief". In fact, he has always been able to multi-task, but Suffering from lack of skills, Qian Chao had only shown a rare intelligence in the past, but in fact, this "ambitiousness" that ordinary people could hardly detect was his real gift.
During the chat, the two Pingpeng cubs that Tang Ping got from Shouwo Mountain naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, aren't the tails of these two little piglets connected together? Who cut them off?" Lu Pingchuan asked, staring at the two little pigs who were all dark and running around the room, humming.
"Oh, it's my master. I got scolded a lot that day. Master blamed me for not going to such a dangerous place. Finally, he said that these two little pigs are also good spiritual beasts and asked me to raise them well. It will be of great use. After saying that, I cut off their tails at once. Hey, one tail is longer and the other is shorter. It is said that it is to distinguish the two little guys, and one is called the long tail. , one is called Duanwei.”
Lu Pingchuan was very interested in these two little black pigs. He put down the tea cup, reached out and picked up a little black pig that ran past his legs, looked at its tail, and said:
"Then this one's tail is so short, so it should be called a bobtail, right?"
"No," Tang Ping suddenly smiled, "The name of the long tail is 'Short Tail', and the name of the short tail is 'Long Tail'!"
As soon as these words came out, several people were stunned for a moment, and Yanxuan asked with a smile:
"What does this mean?"
"Humph, the short-tailed one has a longer tail and takes advantage, so the name should suppress it to make it less proud. The long-tailed one has a short tail, so it suffers a disadvantage, so the name should be taken care of. , lest it remain aggrieved.”
As soon as these words came out, even Li Jian couldn't help laughing.
…
The next thing to talk about is business.
Qian Chao first told a few people that Chu Yuan had approached him, letting everyone know that Wen Liang had hired evil cultivators from outside to plot evil, and then sent Liu Feng a letter. He and Li Jian hurried to Ruixuan Town. The story about meeting Zuo You was told, and the story about Li Jian later recognizing the foundation-building monk named Bian Lian in Ruixuan Town. Among the five people, Tang Ping knew these things. Qian Chao and Li Jian found her directly after they came back from Ruixuan Town and told her everything. Then she took senior Tang Bo there. There. Among the others, Yanxuan heard something from Tang Ping, and Lu Pingchuan heard it for the first time.
Although Yanxuan is the timid one among the five, she has experienced a lot of turmoil so far. After hearing Wenliang's various arrangements, although she felt a little uneasy, after experiencing all the big scenes before, she felt a little uneasy. Don't panic. Brother Qian is talking about these things now, so it depends on how to deal with them in the future.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter what evil cultivator he is, just fight him when he comes! Hey, Zuo You is a pretty good guy. He actually helped us get rid of a few rogue cultivators outside, and even came here with injuries to deliver a message. Well, he is a guy worth dating." Lu Pingchuan didn't care about this, but he suddenly became more fond of Zuo You.
"Yes, that Brother Zuo is indeed a kind person." Li Jian also said.
"Brother Zuo gave this to me before leaving," Qian Chao said, taking out a thick stack of paper from his body and handing it to Tang Ping and others. "Many of the people who were found by Wen Liang either have names or have names. The portraits are all here. Well, Brother Zuo, haha, he is indeed a good person, but he is also very stubborn. He is still recovering from his injuries in Ruixuan Town. Alas, he is still clamoring to come and help us get rid of those people. , but...he just focused on one of them."
Tang Ping, who was flipping through the writing papers, raised his head and asked:
"Which one makes him so tempted, it must be because there is a huge bonus on his head."
"It's a man named Yan Ding." Qian Chao said.
After hearing this, Yanxuan started flipping through the stack of papers, and Lu Pingchuan also leaned his head to look at it.
"There is no portrait of this person, only a name." Yanxuan said.
"Indeed, no, because this Yan Ding was originally a foundation-building monk. He was chased by the alchemy monks because he did too many evil things. In the end, he had no choice but to escape by taking his body. So even if There is a portrait of his previous appearance, but no one seems to know what he looks like now, except for Wen Liang, of course."
"Foundation-building monk, seizing the body, what is he now..." Yanxuan asked.
"For Qi refining, Brother Zuo said that Yan Ding was in a panic when he took over the body, so he didn't make a good selection. The physical body he snatched had poor qualifications, so the practice was not smooth, but Brother Zuo also said Well, the scary thing about this person lies in his cunning. Well, Brother Zuo’s idea is that if he can identify which one is Yan Ding after taking the body, then he must have some token on his body to prove his identity. As long as he takes If you get that thing, you can receive a very considerable amount of spiritual stones elsewhere. The rest, the characters with portraits are also evildoers with bounties on their faces. Everyone knows what Brother Zuo does for a living, and these bounties are also on his head. It’s a huge sum of spiritual stones, so he was reluctant to leave this time. Before Brother Li and I came back, he also said that for the sake of him delivering news to us, we would either let him deal with those guys with us. Or let us cut off his head and bring it to him, alas..."
Qian Chao couldn't help but shake his head when he said this. Li Jian also smiled bitterly when he remembered it, and Lu Pingchuan burst into laughter after hearing this.
After laughing, Tang Ping said:
"I always feel that something is wrong in this. Normally, it should be a big deal for us to find the foundation-building monk Wen Liang placed in the sect. However, my sixth grandfather told me that the sect has to take a long-term approach to catch big fish. Let's take care of that one first. Bian Lian will monitor him and then slowly find his accomplices. As for Wen Liang, depending on what the elders want, we will continue to deal with it."
"Girl Tang, when Senior Tang came to rescue us in the Little Lotus Lake in Youming Valley, you were also awake. Oh, at that time Brother Li, Brother Lu and Sister Yan, the three of you were unconscious all the time. , when Senior Tang was there to get rid of the guy named Suo Yuanshen, Suo Yuanshen once said something. He said that some people in the Suo family, especially some good children, also escaped. With those people It can cause chaos in our Five Spirits Sect, and the guy named Bian Lian we found may be just one of them, and maybe we can really find the rest through him."
When Tang Ping was about to say something, Yanxuan suddenly said:
"I remembered it and asked why the name Bian Lian sounded so familiar. Alas, it turned out to be him."
"What's wrong with this person?" Tang Ping asked curiously.
"Well, that was when we were all at the first level of Qi Refining. I had just started learning alchemy with Senior Sister Min at that time. Senior Sister Min told me about Bian Lian. It is said that Senior Brother Bian had no experience in alchemy at the beginning. Anyone with any talent has always failed, but he is extremely tenacious. He has not made a potion of elixirs for more than thirty years but has never given up. Until later, he became a joke in Qixia Mountain, but by chance one day he succeeded in making elixirs. From then on, I couldn't control it, and I suddenly became a master of alchemy in Qixia Mountain. At that time, Senior Sister Min said that she still encouraged me. I always failed in alchemy, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Bian, who was admired by others at that time. He turned out to be a kind-hearted person.”
"Probably Senior Brother Bian who succeeded in refining alchemy has already been taken away," Qian Chao said. "Someone took his body and used his body to hide in our sect. The person who harmed him was supposed to be a good alchemist before. Unexpectedly, it happened instead." It has made Senior Brother Bian famous, alas."
"That should be it!" Yanxuan nodded and said.
"Going back to what we just said," Tang Ping said, "I had a quarrel with my sixth grandfather a few days ago. Although there was no result, some things were discovered both at my master's place and at my sixth grandfather's place. An unusual place.”
"What is it?"
"My master wrote a letter and asked me, Senior Sister Ruoyuan, to send it to my senior brother Hang Zhui. I heard that Senior Sister Ruoyuan said that she wanted to transfer my senior brother back to the sect. I don't know what the reason was. Moreover, At my sixth grandfather's place, the senior brothers who usually help him make wine have also disappeared. I have quietly gone to check in the past few days, but they are not there. I think they were sent out by my sixth grandfather. It seems that those elders are talking Although I don’t say it publicly, I’m making arrangements behind the scenes.”
Lu Pingchuan suddenly said:
"If you want to put it this way, I seem to have heard my senior brother Xi Kan say in the past few days that he was pushed back by his overseas assignment and would have to go out a little later. Hey, does it have something to do with what Sister Tang said? ah?"
"It's very possible. They should be asked to investigate Wen Liang behind his back. At least they should find out whether Wen Liang still has any foundation-building monks," Tang Ping said. "Boy Qian, we don't have to worry about Wen Liang's foundation-building monks." , has been monitored by the elders, but where is Wen Liang, there are powerful casual cultivators and evil cultivators, what should we do?"
"Of course we have to find a way to deal with it. Girl Tang, you guys, this is the Five Spirits Sect. If Wen Liang wants to deal with us, he will attack us on the territory of the Five Spirits Sect. Well, Girl Tang, guess what Wen Liang will do. ?”
"Could it be that..." Thinking of the trip to Shouwo Mountain, Tang Ping's face turned ugly. "Could it be that there will be news about Qingluan in a while?"
"This..." Qian Chao didn't expect Tang Ping to say this. "Senior Sister Shangguan shouldn't be colluding with Wen Liang. What I mean is that Wen Liang must be thinking about how to use these people now. If they keep an eye on us, as long as they It is also a way for them to attack us halfway when we go out, but I always feel that this is not the way Wen Liang behaves. If he really does that, he will definitely worry about all kinds of unexpected things happening, such as him sending Yan Jing to deal with Zuo You. Didn't we just meet each other that time? In my opinion, Wen Liang would have laid out a game that would definitely get rid of us, and then wait for us to take the bait. As for what he would use to lure us ...There is no conclusion yet, and there is no conclusion yet on where he will arrange the killing plan against us. The outside of the sect is so big that it is difficult to determine."
"What should we do? Should we just wait like this?" Tang Ping asked.
"Of course not," Qian Chao smiled, "My idea is, why can we only have a gentle layout but we can't?"
After hearing this, Li Jian frowned. What Qian Chao said was right:
"What does Brother Qian mean?"
"Look," Qian Chao took out some more letters and maps. They were the ones Zuo You gave them after rescuing Zuo You. "These things are indeed useful. I found some clues of kindness in them. The most important thing about this map is the part that is not drawn on the map, and we have been there again. It is the first heaven and earth cage we discovered before. Wen Liang must be looking for this place, and then go there. There are nine similar heaven and earth cages outside the sect. I think Wen Liang must have tampered with some of them. Even though Wen Liang may have been a pill-forming monk before, after all, he only has Qi refining skills now. He is targeting the Five Spirits Sect. If my guess is correct, the method is to change the spiritual veins, and then at a certain moment awaken the ferocious beasts that have been banned by the heaven and earth cages and release them to cause chaos, it will definitely be a disaster for the Five Spirits Sect!"
When he said this, Qian Chao smiled and continued:
"But such things should be very difficult for him. It will take a long time to do this, and it will cost a lot of money. Therefore, those places are the places he must protect, and he will not watch it. Let us destroy his previous hard work! In the next period of time, no matter what strange news we hear, we don’t need to take it to heart. It may be the news released by the gentle people to seduce us. What we have to do The only thing is to find the arrangement that Wen Liang made before, and then destroy it for him to make his plan fail. It must be laborious and troublesome for him to arrange it, but if he just destroys his arrangement, it will be much simpler! This paragraph Someone will definitely be watching us during the time. As long as we do this, it will definitely reach Wen Liang's ears. He will never allow us to ruin his plan. This will make him panic. If he doesn't move, we will continue. Keep doing this until he is forced to bring his people to hunt us down. In this case, it will not be him laying out the plan to wait for us, but us laying out the plan outside and then bringing them in."
Tang Ping asked:
"Do you think you have found the exact location of other heaven and earth cages? Also, how do you plan for him?"
"That's true. Although I haven't looked at them one by one, according to Mr. Zhuang's guidance, I have now found eight of the nine rumored heaven and earth cages, and the last remaining one has not yet been found. Well, take your time, these eight There will always be discoveries everywhere. As for the layout, it is not difficult. We now have Chu Yuan to pass on the news, and we can have a better grasp of their situation. In addition, Liu Feng has been keeping an eye on us in Ruixuan Town. Someone is messing around. Every time we come in, he will record it, and Bu Yan'an will bring it to us later, so we can have a rough idea of their movements. As for the location of the layout, we have to look at it after we go out. I mean, since Wen Liang is looking for We have so many helpers, then we should also find some, such as those very powerful monsters outside the sect. Haha, the place where ferocious monsters gather is where we use to deal with them. Girl Tang, many more will follow. The place depends on you.”
"Well, then if we go out next, where should we go?" Tang Ping said.
"Jianzhong Mountain, there is a heaven and earth cage nearby," Qian Chao said and looked at Li Jian. "Brother Li, I heard that there is a sword washing pool in Jianzhong Mountain. It is hidden in a cave. It is a small one." The pool is formed by the clear spring water dripping from the stalactites above. I heard that everything that has not fallen into the pool is the spiritual spring water, which is just right for bathing your green bamboo spiritual sword."
"Oh!" Li Jian was quite moved after hearing this.
"Girl Tang, if you are looking for Qingluan, you should also go to Jianzhong Mountain. The place is not small, and it is also a place where spiritual veins are concentrated. Go and have a look. There is no definite news about Qingluan now. We must have some information. It’s better to look for them gradually.”
Tang Ping nodded after listening.
"Also, it is said that there are a lot of spiritual herbs in Sword Tomb Mountain and the monsters are extremely ferocious. We should gain a lot from going there this time."
Yanxuan also nodded.
Lu Pingchuan said:
"Well, okay, let's go there for a walk!"
