Just when Tian Shuangyou and Shi Que were both silent, in the Chengqi Hall within the sect, Qian Chao did not know that Yin Kuang, the ancestor of his Qian family, Qian Shoulin, who had returned in hatred, had died with hatred. At this time, it was being reduced to ashes in the raging fire, and he had no idea about it. Just as Tian Shuangyou and Shi Que stared at the flames with their own feelings, Qian Chao was led in by two senior brothers, Sima Xiaoyan and Yan Zheng. Within a room.
"Junior Brother Qian, please sit down."
As soon as he entered the room, Sima Xiaoyan asked Qian Chao to sit down, and then Yan Zheng went to the teapot and cup to pour tea for the two of them.
Sima Xiaoyan said:
"Junior Brother Qian has made great contributions to our inner hall. There are some things you can tell Junior Brother Qian. In the past, these things were only told to him by the foundation-building monks in the sect after they became members of the inner hall. But Junior Brother Qian, you The difference is that you not only became a disciple of the inner hall when you were refining qi, but you also defeated Xing Rang for our inner hall and recovered the identity tag that he took away, so I can talk to you now."
Yan Zheng said:
"Yes, the reason why I always told the inner monks of the Foundation Establishment in the past is because the Foundation Establishment monks have to go out to work for the sect and walk in the world of practice. Generally speaking, they can only be encountered outside. I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qian would not only encounter this kind of thing, but also seriously injure him. Well, especially Junior Brother Qian is currently the leader of Qi Refining disciples in our sect, and Xing Rang is not dead. Junior Brother Qian will still have to deal with Xing Rang if there is a chance before he builds the foundation, so I am telling you this now."
Qian Chao nodded and said:
"Yes, if there is a chance, I would like to capture Xing Rang with my own hands and hand him over to the inner hall for disposal. Please tell me, two senior brothers."
Sima Xiaoyan said:
"Junior Brother Qian, have you ever heard of the Evil Weapon Hall?"
"Evil Weapon Hall? Have you ever heard that the fellows who are refining weapons outside mentioned the Evil Weapon Hall when they were chatting. It is said that some evil monks who specialize in refining evil weapons got together to give themselves the name. Well, He said that those people were sneaky and secretive. Later, Senior Brother Liao Feng and Liao, who had served in the inner hall, also told me about how he dealt with the Evil Weapon Hall with the elders and brothers in the sect outside. At that time, Liao Feng Senior brother came to the inner hall to sit on duty after being injured, and his injury occurred while dealing with the Evil Weapon Hall."
After hearing this, Sima Xiaoyan said:
"Yes, Liao Feng did sit in the inner hall for a period of time due to injury, and he did make contributions to our sect by dealing with the Evil Weapon Hall. Since you know something, what I will tell you next is simple. "
"First of all, Junior Brother Qian, the Evil Weapon Hall is not something that anyone can enter just because they want to. Like our inner hall, the threshold for the Evil Weapon Hall is also quite high..."
Sima Xiaoyan said that he was looking at the table, and then he remembered that Xing Rang's inner hall identification plate had been put away, so he took off his inner hall identity plate and put it on the table with his fingers. He clicked and said:
"Without this, the Evil Weapon Hall will not accept it at all. If you want to enter the Evil Weapon Hall, you must have certain attainments in the art of refining weapons, otherwise you will not be qualified to become a member of the Evil Weapon Hall. Those junior disciples outside who are refining weapons You have also seen that they do not work hard, but they are not talented enough, and the things they refine can only be considered mediocre, and can be used for personal use, but if they are sold, let alone people fighting for them, they can be sold. It will make them extremely happy. Not to mention those people are not qualified to enter the inner hall of our Chengqi Hall, in the eyes of the Evil Weapon Hall, they will not be accepted. Also, the refining technique of evil weapons is in It cannot be said that it is widespread in the cultivation world, but many people know about it, and there are also people who are secretly refining evil weapons, but compared with the evil weapons refined by the real evil weapon hall, such goods are on the same level as the underground. Heaven, the difference is so huge.”
When Qian Chao heard this, he thought of Xing Rang's gleaming long sword. He thought that the sword was only made by Xing Rang himself and was not from the Evil Weapon Hall. But according to Tang Ping, that sword The power is enough, and it seems that they can really restrain Tang Ping's ice spell. If it is the evil sword refined by the real evil weapon hall, I don't know how powerful it will be, so I can't help but nod in agreement, and then listen to Sima Xiaoyan continue to say Go down.
"This can only show that the Evil Weapon Hall's selection standards are high. In fact, it is nothing. What really makes people confused and even a little worried is still behind. Junior Brother Qian, each person has his own character. Let's put it this way. When Xing Rang first entered our inner hall, he was very high-spirited and satisfied. He thought about becoming famous in the sect in the future and making great achievements in the inner hall. I am afraid that your junior brother Qian is no different. He is determined to refine weapons. It is a happy thing that the art is accepted by the inner hall again..."
Qian Chao nodded repeatedly when he heard this. When he first entered the inner hall, he was really excited for a while. He was looking forward to what he would do in the future and what glory he would have.
"Haha, actually it's not just you, like me, like you, Senior Brother Yanzheng, we were not the same at that time, but then again, each person has his own character, and everyone has different aspirations. Some people can endure loneliness, They can withstand the temptation, but some people can't. They also entered our inner hall during Qi refining. There is also Junior Brother Xu Bo who was on duty in the inner hall before. He is a perseverant person, and there is another one ahead of him. The same is true for Senior Brother Wuge. Well, I might as well tell you the truth. In fact, the Inner Hall has been evaluating you, Junior Brother Qian, but you don’t have to worry. At least so far, your performance is enough to make the Inner Hall no matter what. The elders and senior brothers are very satisfied.”
Noticing the change in Qian Chao's expression, Sima Xiaoyan smiled lightly and continued:
"This kind of evaluation has been around for a long time. Not to mention you, Yan Zheng and I are also being evaluated. Although it cannot be as detailed as your daily life, your right and wrong choices in some things have corresponding additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions. Finally, It is normal to use it as an important reference when entrusting important matters or serving in the inner hall. But it has to be said that this kind of evaluation was a bit too...not taken seriously in the past. It may also be because Xing Rang is just a practice of refining Qi. Why did I ignore it? Later, after Xing Rang was exposed, I looked at the previous records and scrutinized them carefully, and found that if I had intervened earlier, at least Xing Rang would not have allowed Xing Rang to leave poison for so long. But, Junior Brother Qian, we have ignored, Some people have not ignored it. You said that Tang Ping, a disciple of Senior Gu Huo, once tried Xing Rang with illusions. You should probably know some of his past, right?"
Tang Ping did not tell Qian Chao about the torture in detail, but he briefly talked about it outside, so Qian Chao nodded and said:
"Yes, the reason why Xing Rang went astray is that he was eager for quick success, and secondly, he was tempted by someone."
Sima Xiaoyan also nodded. What Qian Chao said was generally consistent with what the inner hall knew. He added:
"Junior Brother Qian, you and Xing Rang both entered the inner hall during Qi refining, and both were very famous figures. It has been a few years since you entered the inner hall, but you have never thought that someone would stare at Xing Rang. Every move you make and then push him down the wrong path when he is willing to degenerate, then why can't someone keep an eye on you in the past few years?"
"What?" Qian Chao asked in surprise.
"Alas, Junior Brother Qian, it is impossible for us to have actual evidence. If we did, how could such a person be allowed in the sect? But from the punishment, from those who rebelled from the inner hall and became villains of the Evil Weapon Hall in the past Judging from the past experience, one has to suspect that in our sect, there is always a pair of eyes staring at the disciples in the inner hall. Well, in fact, it is not just our Chengqi Hall, such a thing has also happened in Nanyu Hall in Qixia Mountain. For those who cannot come into their eyes, they will never use force to coerce and will not show up in front of them at all. Once they meet those suitable candidates who are willing to fall, they will follow the temptation and make them fall into their trap. Wuge Both senior brother and junior brother Xu Bo were fine because they were determined and could not be tempted, but Xing Rang was not like that. He first secretly killed people to take souls, and then refined evil weapons. All of this was clearly seen by those eyes. , from the first time Xing Rang refined the evil weapon, he was destined to go astray, so someone would show up to seduce him later, huh, what's more, Xing Rang couldn't withstand the temptation at all, so that's why Later, he stole books in the inner hall, and then occupied Hanchichi until now. As for Junior Brother Qian, you may have been noticed by them, but it is very likely that your performance has made them feel that you are not their candidate, and you Now that you have the identity of the leader of the Qi Refining disciples in the sect, it will naturally make them jealous, and it also shows that you will not be tempted by those, so you will not show up in front of you."
"What..." Although Qian Chao heard some general things about the Chongling Blood Cultivation and the Nightmare Blood Cultivation from Tang Ping, he was still extremely surprised when Sima Xiaoyan said this, "How can this be said in our sect?" Not all the time…”
"Yes, Junior Brother Qian, you have guessed that there has always been a secret force in our sect. Their purpose does not seem to be to torment the Wuling Sect, but they have been using our sect to cultivate them secretly. In fact, the power of the Five Spirits Sect is not limited to ours. Almost all six sects in the world are like this. The people in the Evil Weapon Hall come from more than just our Five Spirits Sect. Muyang Sect, a large sect that is equivalent to our Five Spirits Sect, The house they specialize in refining is called the Craftsman's House, and it is divided into an outer house and an inner house. The inner house is comparable to our inner hall. They also have many people who defected from the inner house and entered the evil weapon hall. And I heard that the process was similar to that of those guys who rebelled from our inner hall. They all made mistakes on their own first and then were seduced by others before completely going the wrong way and finally joining the Evil Weapon Hall. Except for Muyang Sect, The same is true for the other four sects such as Lion Forest, Motian Cliff, Jiu Gen Yuan and Meng Cai Lou. Well, I heard that my fellow apprentices who were serving abroad also mentioned when they came back to chat that there are many people in the Evil Weapon Hall who are some. People in smaller sects who are skilled in weapon refining skills or some unscrupulous disciples from aristocratic families who are famous for their weapon refining skills. From this point of view... the people in the Evil Weapon Hall come from complex sources, almost all over Central Continent!"
They can't be detected by using their public identities to cover up, and they never do anything that hurts their own forces to be suspected. While they don't act rashly, they also silently pay attention to potential and outstanding disciples in their respective forces, and then accurately He searches for targets that can be used by him, and then lures them to his side. The whole process is almost impossible to be noticed by others. Such characters not only exist in the Wuling Sect, but also in the Muyang Sect and the other four sects. Some aristocratic families have it. What a huge hidden force this is. What do they want to do?
Sima Xiaoyan looked at Qian Chao's face and probably guessed that Qian Chao had understood the implication of what he just said, so he said again:
"Junior Brother Qian, are you also surprised and curious about such a powerful force?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Sima, with such a huge force, could it be that they just send people to the Evil Weapon Hall to refine evil weapons? Isn't this right?"
"Haha, of course it's not right, Junior Brother Qian, you also know that people in Central Continent say there are six major sects, but in fact it is probably seven major sects. This seventh major sect refers to this extremely mysterious force. Regarding this point Not only do the elders and seniors in our sect agree with it, but also the other five sects. Even if the six sects have conflicts with each other, the six sects have joined forces to deal with this mysterious seventh sect. Cooperating, however, those people act secretly, and there has always been very little information about them. In the countless roundups of these people, even fewer people can be caught. When they are desperate, those people are even willing to They commit suicide and don't want to be captured alive, so up to now, we don't know much about them. Oh, Liao Feng really made a contribution that time and destroyed the gathering place of evil weapon hall villains, but There was very little valuable information obtained that time. Looking at it now, the Evil Weapon Hall is just a small corner of this hidden force exposed in the muddy water of the spiritual world. We must truly find out their true purpose and deal with it thoroughly. It will take them a long time.”
Qian Chao sighed:
"I didn't expect it to be so complicated. I understand..."
"Well, now that Junior Brother Qian understands, it's time to talk about business."
"Oh?" Qian Chao was a little confused. After talking for a long time, the previous words were not the main content.
"Haha, Junior Brother Qian, we are actually following orders. Well, we were entrusted by the inner hall elders before. If you can win this battle against Wen Liang and Xing Rang, especially against Xing Rang, no matter whether you kill him Injuring him or defeating him shows that you have the ability to work for the inner hall, and the elder who told us also said that your junior brother Qian is also a very loyal person to the sect. There is no need to doubt you, so today That’s why we gave this book to you.”
With that said, Sima Xiaoyan took out a book and put it on the desk and pushed it towards Qian Chao.
"Secrets of Knowledge"!
"It's not...it's not already..."
Qian Chao was so surprised that he didn't finish his sentence. Yan Zheng smiled and said:
"How can there be only one copy of such an important classic? This book was copied in the inner hall as a record. This is one of them. However, the one stolen by Xing Rang is indeed the original. What a pity. !”
Sima Xiaoyan said:
"Are you curious why this book was given to you?"
"good."
"Haha, Junior Brother Qian, the records in this book can help you enter the cold pool safely..."
Qian Chao's eyes suddenly widened. Cold Pool was a place with chaotic spiritual veins. How could he, a Qi Refining disciple, go deep into it just to completely capture Xing Rang? This is not right, this is somewhat... too dangerous!
"I know what your junior brother Qian is thinking, so I might as well tell you that the spiritual veins in the Cold Pool are chaotic, and the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to penetrate deeply. These are the bloody lessons I learned when clearing the Cold Pool in the past. Not to mention the seniors who built the pill, even if Yan Zheng and I had read this book familiarly and knew the method, we couldn't go deep into it due to our foundation-building skills. Well, we only had money. Junior Brother's current Qi refining skills can reach the deepest place there. This is also the real purpose of the person who tempted Xing Rang. The elder of the inner hall said that Junior Brother Qian can eliminate the great disaster for our Wuling Sect. Invisible, but one must do everything thoroughly. Xing Rang escaped to the cold pool before he died, and the cold pool is also the source of attracting those powerful hidden forces. Therefore, if Junior Brother Qian can go there to eliminate this disaster, then You will definitely gain something there!”
"This... how to contact the disaster?" Qian Chao asked.
"Haha, the two of us don't know about this. The elder said that as long as Junior Brother Qian gets there, he will definitely find a way."
"Okay... can you two senior brothers tell me... which elder of our inner hall is responsible for these two senior brothers?"
"Haha, well, we don't know which elder proposed it first. Decisions on matters in our inner hall can only be made after several elders discuss them together. Since we have been told, it must be that all the elders have this intention. yes."
"Understood."
"Well, also, the elders have also said that Junior Brother Qian does not need to rush into this matter. He should make careful preparations and make sure that he hits the target with one blow."
"yes!"
