The figures of Zong Xi and the other three people soon became three small black dots in the sky in the distance.
In order to prevent these three people from leaving and returning, Li Jian deliberately chased them for a distance, making sure that these three people were indeed going back to the sect before returning to join Tang Ping and the others.
At this point, Shangguan Hong was the first to go back, and Jin Zongxi, Lou Qingyao and Zhang Yi also went back. In the hiding place, Tang Ping and others had already taken off the talismans given by Qian Chao, showed their figures, and then sat down Discussing together what we just heard.
Lu Pingchuan had already become impatient after being silent for so long. When he was discussing what he had just seen and heard with Tang Ping and Yanxuan, he saw Li Jian come back and asked immediately:
"Brother Li, are those three guys really gone?"
Li Jian said:
"It is true that he left. I followed him for a long time before returning."
"Well, that's good. Hehe, I've really learned a lot today. This woman named Lou is really not a fuel-efficient person!"
Tang Ping thought about the division of labor between people like herself and Qian Chao, and said:
"The idea that Mr. Qian came up with has achieved its goal at least for us. Not only do we know many things about Lou Qingyao, but the most important thing is what they are going to do next. We are looking forward to Mr. Qian's success in Qian. All goes well in the needle pine forest."
"Well, don't worry, Brother Qian will be fine inside." Lu Pingchuan interjected.
Yanxuan thought about what he heard from Zong Xi and the other three people before and asked:
"A Ping, what was Zhang Yi talking about at the end? Who is Wei Gelin?"
This really confused Tang Ping. Tang Ping didn’t know much about what happened in the sect before the five of them entered the Five Spirits Sect. She had never heard of those people in the sect, and she heard from Zong Xi. Those people were expelled by the sect for practicing forbidden arts. In this case, they must be very troublesome people.
"I don't know. I'll have to ask after I go back. Don't worry, it's not difficult to find out who those people are. Maybe I'll find someone to ask after I return to the sect, or in the future, Mr. Qian will go to Feng If you ask around, you will definitely be able to find out the origins of those people."
Yanxuan nodded and said:
"I found that Zong Xi was obviously a little uncomfortable after hearing the names Zhu Yan and Wei Gelin. Could it be that these two people are very powerful, so Zhang Yi came up with the idea to find them?"
"That should be the case. I also saw Zong Xi's face at that time. Zong Xi seemed to be a little embarrassed when he saw the two people mentioned by Zhang Yi. In fact, the key to this matter is not Zhu Yi or Wei Gelin, but Zhang Yi. He must have planned it long ago. It seems to me that Zhang Yi was waiting for this opportunity today to mention Zhu Yuan and Wei Gelin in front of Lou Qingyao. Zong Xi had just vowed to help Lou Qingyao. Zhang Yi As soon as he opened his mouth, Zong Xi was in trouble. He couldn't refuse in front of Lou Qingyao, so he fell into Zhang Yi's trap. This Zhang Yi's behavior was indeed different from what I heard before. It seems that after returning After that, you can persuade my Sixth Grandpa and the others to investigate Zhang Yi’s matter."
Yanxuan said again:
"Shangguan Hong was expelled before, and Shangguan Hong's cultivation and methods are very difficult. If Zong Xiang finds two or more disciples who have been expelled by the sect, we will have many problems in the future. Less trouble."
Lu Pingchuan said nonchalantly:
"I'm afraid of what they will do, no matter who they are, huh, as long as those boys are really tricked by Zong Xi, if they dare to come forward and take risks, hehe, they will definitely not get their good results!"
Tang Ping didn't pay too much attention to the two people Zhang Yi and Zong Xi mentioned. On the contrary, they had been observing these people near Zong Xi and Lou Qingyao today. Tang Ping watched them very carefully. Among them, it seems from Zhang Yi's performance that he has indeed secretly colluded with Lou Qingyao. Regardless of whether there is any evidence, it can be confirmed that Zhang Yi has murderous intentions towards the five of them, especially Qian Chao, otherwise he would not Will be so active in giving advice to Zong Xi.
However, what Lou Qingyao said today still touched Tang Ping. She did not expect that the Qingluan egg she wanted to get was so important to Lou Qingyao. Tang Ping would naturally not choose a Taoist companion like Lou Qingyao in the future. Zong Xi was like that, but after listening to Lou Qingyao's past experience, Tang Ping had some sympathy for her, especially after hearing Lou Qingyao's last words, Tang Ping and Yanxuan, these two girls were together She has begun to sympathize with Lou Qingyao in her heart. Although she has killed many people by any means, but from the perspective of resisting the arbitrary interference of her elders in her personal affairs, Lou Qingyao is indeed worthy of sympathy. place.
If Tang Ping and Lou Qingyao were to get along in different places, Tang Ping's resistance might be even more fierce than that of Lou Qingyao, but the egg of Qingluan was equally important to Tang Ping, so Tang Ping sighed with some contradictions. tone and said:
"I have some sympathy for Lou Qingyao..."
Yanxuan also said after hearing this:
"Yes, her experience is indeed quite touching. I didn't expect that Qingluan's egg would be related to her future freedom..."
Tang Ping was naturally reluctant to give up the Qingluan Egg, so she said helplessly:
"I didn't expect that things would develop like this in the end..."
Lu Pingchuan curled his lips and said:
"Humph, who knows whether what she said is true or not. Anyway, I think that guy named Zong Xi has no future. One look at his virtues and he was fascinated by that woman Lou Qingyao. Zong Xi thinks whatever she says It’s true, even if you make up lies to deceive him, that kid will still take it as the truth.”
Li Jian immediately realized that Tang Ping and Yanxuan were also confused by Lou Qingyao's words, and immediately said:
"Miss Tang, Miss Yan, what Lou Qingyao said before about her being in the Lion Forest should be true, but in the end she said that she would use Qingluan's egg in exchange for her freedom. Well, in my opinion, it was not true. There must be a lie! When they were talking, I kept watching with cold eyes. From what I saw, Lou Qingyao had no affection for Zong Xi at all and was just using him. As Brother Lu said, Zong Xi was completely attracted by Lou Qing Yao. I am so confused that I don’t realize it at all.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Pingchuan immediately said:
"Look, what I said, you can't believe what that woman said."
The three people present were convinced of Li Jian's induction. Tang Ping and Yan Xuan couldn't help but be surprised when they saw what he said.
"Is this really the case?" Yanxuan asked.
"Yes," Li Jian said decisively, "Today, all the experiences Lou Qingyao said about her in the Lion Forest should be true, but they were all foreshadowing, just to convince Zong Yi. In the end, she said Qingluan Zhidao went to exchange her freedom with her elders. When she said this, Lou Qingyao was absolutely unfaithful and nervous in her heart. At the same time, she was not the only one who was nervous. The same was true for Zhang Yi. Both of them were at that time. I hope Zong Yi will believe these words. Later, when Zong Yi swore to help Lou Qingyao obtain the Qingluan egg, Zhang Yi was pleasantly surprised, and Lou Qingyao felt a little guilty besides the surprise. From this, I Then I know that what Lou Qingyao said at the end is all false, and she, as well as Zhang Yi, are just taking advantage of Zong Xi."
Tang Ping felt a little relieved:
"So that's it. This Lou Qingyao is really...telling the truth and lies together. Well, it seems that Zong Xi is really pitiful!"
Li Jian continued:
"This woman is scheming, sophisticated, and skillful. She was the one who deceived Zong Xi, but she was able to confuse both you and Miss Yan. Well, if I didn't have this sense, I might have been deceived by her. .”
Yanxuan said:
"That means that if Zong Xiang can help Lou Qingyao get the Qingluan egg, will Lou Qingyao still leave Zong Xiang in the end?"
"No need to ask, who can fall in love with such a playboy." Lu Pingchuan said nonchalantly.
Yanxuan frowned and shook his head.
Li Jian said:
"That's eighty percent, right? Well, since what Lou Qingyao said is all false, let's just continue to argue with her. By the way, there's another person we can't ignore."
"Brother Li is talking about Shangguan Hong?" Tang Ping asked.
"Exactly, she left in a hurry in the end. From my point of view, Shangguan Hong will definitely not give up. Maybe she will cause us some trouble when we meet again when she returns to the sect. We must be careful."
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this. At this moment, she suddenly felt that it would be great if Qian Chao, who was around the four people at this time, also knew the news. She thought that the boy would be able to deal with it, but there was no rush. It would take three or two days at most. It's time for him to come out of it.
…
Within the Thousand Needles Pine Forest.
In addition to the two monster beasts and birds that fought each other to death, Qian Chao also gained many new gains along the way. Thanks to the knowledge he had learned from Yanxuan how to identify spiritual herbs and elixirs, in this spiritually rich place Within the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, Qian Chao could find good-quality spiritual grass almost everywhere. At first, Qian Chao was cautious when he started to pick it, thinking that there must be some powerful monster guarding the spiritual grass with such good quality, but after arranging an array to pick it, After a few plants, Qian Chao realized that the spiritual herbs he picked seemed not to be a rare thing here, and were not guarded by monsters. Only then did Qian Chao gradually become more courageous.
In this thousand-needle pine forest, spiritual herbs that are rarely seen outside seem to be everywhere. As Qian Chao continued to dig deeper and kept picking, Qian Chao suddenly realized that if he continued like this, his progress would be greatly accelerated. Delayed, in desperation, he could only give up the spiritual grass he saw, and kept moving forward, only stopping to pick when he saw the very cherished spiritual grass. Well, of course, such a spiritual grass There are often monsters guarding them, so Qian Chao must arrange the formation before starting to pick, so as not to be noticed by the monsters. It was only then that Qian Chao realized how great it would be if Li Jian was by his side, nearby Li Jian could tell him casually whether there were any monsters, so Qian Chao made up his mind to work hard when he returned to the Five Spirits Sect. Even if the other four companions could not master his subtle technique, then Qian Chao would We also need to find a safe and effective way to allow five people to enter this forbidden area at the same time.
Of course, Qian Chao also picked a lot of high-level spiritual grass that was guarded by monsters. There were only a few times when he was not discovered by monsters. After picking it, he left quietly, but most of the time he was guarded. The monsters noticed it, not that the monsters noticed Qian Chao, but that the spiritual grass they were guarding was missing, so Qian Chao relied on the formations he had arranged in advance and killed several powerful monsters. Beast, it can be regarded as an extra harvest.
Of course, whether it is picking rare spiritual grass or hunting powerful mid-level monsters, Qian Chao is not the main thing to do in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. One important thing he has to do when he comes in is to identify the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. The distribution of spiritual veins in the pine forest.
A few days ago, outside the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, Qian Chao had carefully explored and plotted the spiritual veins found outside on the map. The spiritual veins did not go straight, but were all meandering. Even if the general direction could be Mastered, but the subtle differences can produce different effects. This is where the so-called Land of Heaven's Might comes from.
But the problem Qian Chao encountered in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest was that he could not use his talismans to determine the spiritual veins here as he could outside the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. If he did that, he would definitely be here. Various monsters and beasts discovered that after all, when his talisman was used, spiritual energy would fluctuate and emit, which would directly expose him.
However, this is not a problem for Qian Chao. As mentioned in the previous article, after Mr. Zhuang passed away, Mo Zu on Yuhu Mountain once gave Qian Chao all the books containing the essence of what he had learned in his life in the name of returning the books. What Mr. Zhuang taught Qian Chao focused on "Tao", while compared with Mr. Zhuang, Mo Zu focused more on "Skills". Qian Chao almost completely learned the knowledge of spiritual veins from Mr. Zhuang. However, Mr. Zhuang did not teach much about how to search for spiritual veins, how to discover spiritual veins, and how to determine the direction of spiritual veins. Mr. Zhuang taught Qian Chao more. For example, Qian Chao's talisman method for determining spiritual veins was something he came up with on his own. Although it was guided by Mr. Zhuang, that was it, nothing more.
There are many methods for Qian Chao to learn from Mo Zu's books on how to determine spiritual veins. Of course, many of these methods or the items used are too high-level and Qian Chao cannot get them now, or they are Qian Chao needs to have at least the cultivation level of foundation building to be able to use it. Therefore, before coming out this time, Qian Chao made preparations based on his guess of the worst situation in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest.
At this time, there was a jade plaque hanging on Qian Chao's neck and chest. The material of this jade plaque itself made Qian Chao spend a large sum of spiritual stones. This kind of jade is called "Jing Jade". Mutton fat is generally delicate and soft white, and Qian Chao imprinted a formation on it according to the method learned from Mo Zu's books. This jade token is worn close to the flesh. As long as Qian Chao is deep in the spiritual veins, the jade token will remain intact. It will have different reactions depending on the spiritual veins it is in, either warm or cool. Only the wearer can experience the subtle differences. Qian Chao is based on the spiritual veins outside the thousand-needle pine forest that were drawn before. And the jade plaque on his chest to determine the direction of the spiritual veins in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest.
This method is much slower than his talisman method, but it is more cautious and reliable.
