Under the gaze of everyone, Qian Chao raised his hands and began to make hand gestures with each hand. He had made preparations before coming to Fairy Guhuo today. The runes had been written on both arms in advance. No need to During the live demonstration, Qian Chao's figure was quickly wrapped in a flurry of runes that looked like snowflakes as the techniques changed. Tang Ping and others no longer found it strange that they had seen him perform this technique, and the seniors It was the first time they saw Qian Chao perform his tricks, and they all stared intently. Suddenly, they found that Qian Chao's entire body, including those flying talismans, had disappeared. It was as sudden as disappearing out of thin air!
Just when Qian Chao's figure disappeared, among the seniors, Fairy Leng Yue said "Hmm" in surprise and surprise.
Of course, except for Fairy Lengyue, the other seniors were also very surprised by this change. They could not see or hear the sound of Qian Chao. They looked around in surprise, but unfortunately there was no sign of any money. Discover. The most unexpected thing was Fairy Lengyue. She heard her disciple Li Jian tell about the magic of Qian Chao's "Youwei Technique". Although it was impossible for Li Jian to tell lies to her, Fairy Lengyue still used this magic method against Qian Chao. She didn't quite believe it, or she was very curious, so in today's test she had to carefully check whether Qian Chao's methods were what Li Jian said.
Fairy Leng Yue is the elder sword cultivator of Mu Xiufeng, and the sword cultivator's senses are the strongest among all the monks of the same level. Therefore, as soon as everyone arrived in the garden today, Fairy Leng Yue's senses were firmly locked on Qian Chao's body. On the body.
However, just a moment ago, when Qian Chao's figure suddenly disappeared, Qian Chao's aura and the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his body also disappeared without a trace due to Fairy Lengyue's induction!
Fairy Lengyue was surprised. She never thought that a little guy who was practicing Qi could avoid her induction. She immediately began to gather her energy to search this place carefully with her own induction. Qian Chao could not go anywhere else, he would only After entering the garden and taking out the branch, Fairy Lengyue's induction was firmly enveloped in this small area. She even vaguely sensed where Fairy Guhuo's Ah Jiu was. There was no breath of Du Qianchao at all, and there was no trace of his spiritual energy fluctuations. Of course, this may also be because Qian Chao had already walked into the garden and was some distance away from her, so Fairy Leng Yue could not sense him, but At least for now, Fairy Lengyue has completely lost her sense of money tide just like Li Jian.
Of course Fairy Lengyue also has her own sword realm. At this time, she thought about using her sword realm to try to see if she could use the sword realm to find Qian Chao. But this was just an idea. Of course she knew she couldn't do this. , First of all, today is Fairy Guhuo's test of Qian Chao. Many of the spirit beasts inside have already tested Qian Chao, and she cannot interfere with the situation. Secondly, it is a bit unseemly to do so. After all, Qian Chao is just an alchemist. Qi disciple, and she is a famous swordsman elder in the sect. The difference in status prevents her from doing this.
Then you can only watch.
Although the other Danjie seniors were not sword cultivators, they each had their own senses. After Qian Chao disappeared, they scanned around for a few times and found nothing. Then they all used their senses to search carefully, but they also No clues were found about Qian Chao. Among them, Fairy Gu Huo was the most advanced. Her power of induction was second only to Fairy Leng Yue among them. After failing to detect Qian Chao, Fairy Gu Huo While she was in disbelief, she was even more surprised. She didn't expect Qian Chao's "Secret Technique" to be so mysterious. It was so mysterious that it could evade the induction power of her, a pill-forming monk. If this child could do this, then... Maybe today's test wouldn't be enough for him. Thinking of this, she looked at Tang Bonian and found that Tang Bonian's eyes were full of disbelief, and Fairy Zhong Yao on the side was even more so.
Tang Ping and Li Jian have already seen Qian Chao's method. They are not as surprised as the elders at this time. However, they are also concerned about whether Qian Chao can pass the test today, but they can't see Qian Chao yet. Chao could only stare at the garden and look at the spiritual beasts inside. At this moment, Tang Ping whispered:
"We can't find Mr. Qian, what about the spiritual beasts inside?"
Hearing this, Li Jian's heart suddenly moved. He couldn't find Qian Chao with his senses at this time, but he could take every move of all the spiritual beasts in the garden into his heart in detail. Even if he couldn't find Qian Chao, But by staring closely at all the spirit beasts, maybe we can also see some clues. At least if those spirit beasts are fine all the time, it means that they can't detect the money tide. Thinking of this, Li Jian will himself The feeling is completely released.
The one closest to them was the big green snake called "Threshold Snake", which was lying in the nursery. In Li Jian's perception, the big snake's body had been coiled lazily in the flowers, and the snake's head was motionless. , spitting out letters from time to time, without any abnormality. Tang Ping said that this kind of snake has the most sensitive sense of smell, but this snake seemed not to smell anything.
The round and huge Wuyingling carp paced slowly on the pebbled road. Its head was very small, which was extremely disproportionate to its fat body. Its slender tail swung back and forth because its body was heavy. , every step made the thick scales on its body make a rustling sound, and there was a large, imperceptible shadow on the ground that moved with its steps. The Wuyingling carp was not very courageous, and at this time this There are many spiritual beasts in the garden, some of which it is naturally afraid of. Therefore, the shadow on the ground is actually not big. It is just that the shadowless tomb carp does not dare to let go completely. This thing is very dangerous to the threshold in the flower garden. The snake was particularly afraid of it. Its shadow never dared to approach the flowerbed where the snake was. Whenever it wandered over, the snake would tilt its head towards it. At this time, the shadowless carp would He stopped immediately, then turned around and walked to the other side pretending to be nonchalant. Although they were both domesticated spiritual beasts, they still retained their innate nature.
The shadowless mausoleum carp almost walked around the entire garden, and the shadow under its feet could almost sweep across the entire garden ground, but it showed no other signs except that it was very afraid of the snake.
The five-dimensional beast like a black panther was also walking around, as if on patrol. It walked without making a sound. Li Jian found that this guy always deliberately avoided a corner in the garden, which was the southeast corner of the garden. Horns, every time the five beasts wandered around there, they would walk more lightly, but the muscles on their bodies were the most tense, and a long black tail unconsciously collapsed. It was a sign of timidity and fear, Li Jian He had long been vaguely aware of the strongest aura there. At this time, through the performance of these five beasts, he was even more sure that Ah Jiu, who had gained the fairy, was hiding in that location.
Several drum birds that landed on the branches have been combing their feathers with their slender beaks. Tang Ping said that these little guys are the most sensitive to spiritual energy. Any slight fluctuation of spiritual energy can alarm them. Under Li Jian's induction Among them, the first ones to appear abnormal were these little guys. For a short moment, these drum birds seemed very confused. They all stopped, and then they all turned their heads and looked at different places. Some of them chirped a few times, as if they had discovered something but were not sure. They tilted their heads and jumped back and forth on the branches to change directions. At this time, the five beasts that had wandered nearby on the ground also slowed down. The body was lowered even more, and these drum birds continued to search from one tree to another tree from chirping. After a while, they returned to normal after searching without success, and the five-dimensional beasts were now Time had wandered away.
When Guniao behaved abnormally, several Jiedan elders also held their breath, thinking that Qian Chao would be noticed by the spiritual beasts in the garden soon. However, after seeing that normalcy was restored soon, several elders continued They looked at each other in confusion.
Li Jian felt that the Drum Birds might have sensed Qian Chao's approach, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted by Qian Chao under the Youwei Technique were too weak, making it impossible for them to truly confirm whether they had discovered anything, and finally left it alone. .
Just when these drum birds seemed unusual, one of the ears of the feast dog that had been lying on the ground raised up, as if it had heard something. Its ears were very flexible and it could turn in different directions to look carefully without raising its head. Listening, a moment later, when the ears were about to fall, the five-dimensional beast was slowly walking over. When the feast dog saw the guy walking over again, he immediately became nervous, both ears stood up, and his eyes stared. It was okay to follow the five-way beast. After the five-way beast passed in front of it, the feast dog lazily lowered its ears, as if the sound it just heard had been forgotten by it.
The mirage-like staring bug has been squatting peacefully in a corner of the garden. Everything on its body is blinking, and its pupils are looking in all directions. This thing has amazing eyesight, but But nothing has been found.
In addition, there are many spirit beasts who occupy a place and patrol around, sniffing carefully, or listening intently, and they are all intently sensing any changes in the garden. Among these spirit beasts, the most leisurely ones are It belonged to the guy named Qiansi Fire Rat. This thing was like a big squirrel with fiery red fur. At this time, while the other spiritual beasts were doing their best, it jumped into the stone pavilion in the garden. Then he jumped up to the stone table, and seemed to think it was very nice here. He actually took a nap on the stone table, and the big fluffy fiery red tail also covered its body comfortably. It seemed that this guy was playing tricks on this garden. Not really interested.
However, the branch that was broken off by Fairy Guhuo was suppressed by the fiery red Thousand Threaded Fire Rat, and only a small section was exposed outside.
Li Jian was the first to discover this situation and immediately realized Qian Chao's embarrassment at this time. Even if he could avoid all the spiritual beasts and walk into the stone pavilion, as long as he went to get the branch, he would definitely be discovered by Qiansi Fire Rat. Then this test will fail.
Soon, Tang Ping also noticed Qiansi Fire Rat's actions and couldn't help but frown.
Among the elders, Tang Bonian looked at Fairy Guhuo, as if he didn't understand why Fairy Guhuo had such an arrangement at the last hurdle, but Fairy Guhuo smiled and said only four words: " "Beasts have animal language." Tang Bonian immediately understood that the most powerful spiritual beast in the garden was Ah Jiu. Presumably, the actions of the Qiansi Fire Rat must have been secretly done by Ah Jiu, but Tang Bonian wanted to Let’s see how Qianchao responds to this situation next.
…
Time passed slowly, and the time for a cup of tea had passed, but the garden was still quiet.
Although time has not passed for a long time, Tang Ping has begun to worry. Qian Chao himself said that he can only use the three-level formation of Youwei Technique now, which can last for about half an hour at most. The time of a cup of tea has passed. Tang Ping has now begun to believe that the spiritual beasts in the garden will not be able to detect him for the time being, but how can we remove the branch that was pressed under Qiansi Fire Rat? There has been no movement, and Qian Chao probably has no good solution.
Damn Ah Jiu!
Tang Ping expected that Master would not embarrass Qian Chao in the end. Ah Jiu must be deliberately causing trouble.
Everyone watched silently.
After about half a cup of tea, there was some movement in the garden.
A subtle to almost non-existent spiritual energy wave rippled out from somewhere in the garden, just like a leaf falling into the mighty Tianshui Lake, the thin ripples began to spread...
This slight fluctuation of spiritual energy instantly alerted all the spiritual beasts in the garden. The drum bird reacted the fastest. Several small birds flapped their wings and flew over. At the same time, the five-dimensional beasts like black panthers also crouched down. He bent his body and aimed at the place where the spiritual energy fluctuations came out. The snake half raised its head, and the bright red letter kept spitting at that place. The shadow of the shadowless mausoleum carp had quickly spread there, and the two big ears of the feast dog They all stood up in that direction and listened to the movement there. All the eyes of the gazelle were fixed on that position. Only the Qiansi Fire Rat slowly moved away the big fiery red tail covering itself and blinked. Look there.
Several Danjie elders also noticed something strange, especially Fairy Leng Yue. She was the first to notice the fluctuation of spiritual energy. Is Qian Chao about to fail? Fairy Leng Yue's induction instantly covered that position firmly.
Li Jian also noticed that although the rest of Tang Ping, Yan Xuan, Lu Pingchuan and others could not detect the weak spiritual energy fluctuations, the strange movements of the spiritual beasts in the garden also made them realize that there might be results, and it was probably Qian Chao will be found out by these spiritual beasts.
Then there was another extremely weak spiritual energy fluctuation, but this time it was no longer in the same location, but right next to the stone pavilion in the center of the garden.
Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!
The first one to react was the Five Directions Beast. Its muscular body had turned into a beam of black light and shot towards the stone pavilion. At the same time, the drum bird in the air also flew over.
Tang Ping said before that the Thousand-Sided Fire Rat is a timid and suspicious spiritual beast. It doesn't care about the flying drum bird in the sky, but it is startled by a fierce-looking guy like the Five Directions Beast when it flies towards it. Besides, In addition to the five beasts, there are many spiritual beasts that are ready to pounce. Qiansi Fire Rat made two sharp "squeaks" and stood up from the stone table in the pavilion. On a big fiery tail In an instant, all the red hairs stood up, and the burning breath suddenly came out, causing the five-way beast that was flying towards them to have to turn aside at the end to avoid being attacked by Qiansi Fire Rat.
Then, no more spiritual energy fluctuations appeared.
However, as Qiansi Fire Rat stood on the stone table, the branches that were originally pressed by it should be revealed, but... Fairy Guhuo discovered it, Fairy Lengyue frowned, and Tang Bonian looked at him. Ning, Kang Fu didn't know why, Fairy Zhong Yao just noticed... that branch was missing!
This is to attack the east and attack the west.
"It's done." Li Jian said softly, causing several friends around him to look over quickly, but immediately Li Jian said "hmm" again.
Because there is new movement in the garden.
All the spiritual beasts in the garden are as big as the shadowless tomb carp, as small as the drum bird, as ferocious as the beasts from the five directions, and as ferocious as the snakes, plus the feasting dogs, staring insects and other spiritual beasts, they all look like powerful enemies. , The shadowless tomb carp that was walking slowly was frightened to the point of being extremely agile at this time, the ferocious-looking threshold snake swam around in embarrassment, the ferocious black panther-like five-way beast was frightened like a frightened black dog, and the gray dog-like banquet The dogs were trembling all over, the bugs jumped behind many spiritual beasts in one leap, and the drum birds simply flew high and chirped non-stop. All the spiritual beasts, regardless of whether they were previously jealous of each other or afraid of each other, , at this time, they all huddled together and stared in one direction in horror, and then they crowded together and kept changing their positions as if they were being driven away, but no matter where they stopped, they did not dare to be alone, always They were crowded together. The largest Wuyingling carp was squeezed to the outside. The numerous spirit beasts seemed to use it as a shield. Then at a certain moment, these crowded spirit beasts fled back in panic and fear. In the past few back and forths, the sound of hooves and the frightened cries of spiritual beasts became a chaotic mess.
Even without Li Jian's reaction, Tang Ping guessed what happened at this time. The branch must have disappeared, which made Ah Jiu very unhappy. She didn't expect that Qian Chao would destroy the branch under her eyes. She stole it away, and in anger, she went out to look for Qian Chao in the garden, but she turned around several times but never found Qian Chao. Of course, Ah Jiu was also invisible, so no one else could see her.
"Okay," Fairy Guhuo said, "If you didn't notice it, you just didn't notice it. You didn't find it after all the troubles, so why don't you go back honestly?"
"Hmph, that kid is better off."
A young woman's voice came out of nowhere in the garden, and it was Ah Jiu's voice.
This was the first time for Lu Pingchuan to hear the spirit beast speak, and it was also in human language. He had heard Tang Ping mention various things about Ah Jiu before, but this time he heard it with his own ears. He was so surprised that he did not dare to speak louder, so he whispered said:
"That bird... really can talk!"
Before Tang Ping could speak, Qian Chao's figure suddenly appeared at the place where he disappeared before. His face was slightly flushed, and there were three layers of talismans on his body that were spinning around his chest and back. But it was the branch in his hand.
After Qian Chao appeared, he immediately saluted Fairy Guhuo and others, held the branch with both hands and said:
"Fortunately, I will live up to my destiny."
