It was still dark when Ah Jiu returned to the Five Spirits Sect from the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. After he was done, he was so excited that he returned to Fairy Guhuo's cave. Ah Jiu didn't care whether Tang Ping got up or not and just barged into her. Within the small building where I live. Many spiritual birds and beasts in Tang Ping's room were awakened and fled in panic, directly grabbing Tang Ping who was sleeping in a daze on the bed.
It was still very dark before dawn. Naturally, there was no light in the room when Tang Ping was resting, so it was very dark. But as Ah Jiu's clenched hand slowly spread out in front of the sleepy Tang Ping, Tang Ping suddenly felt The bedroom was illuminated by a layer of oily yellow light, and as this yellow light emitted, many spiritual birds and beasts that were scared to death by Ah Jiu's arrival also stopped hiding in an instant. The footsteps almost all turned back to look at Ah Jiu's hands.
What emits light are two walnut-sized, crystal clear beads, almost a perfect sphere, apricot yellow, with a smooth surface and almost the same size. Each one emits an oily yellow light. It is these two beads. A single bead illuminated Tang Ping's entire bedroom.
As for the spirit beasts and birds in Tang Ping's room, they were originally afraid of Ah Jiu and wanted to run away like crazy, but as Ah Jiu spread out his hand, there was a wave of fear towards them. The aura of great attraction instantly filled the entire room. All the little ones seemed to have overcome their fear of Ah Jiu at the same time. They turned around one by one, first looking cautiously and then taking cautious steps. , looked at Ah Jiu's palm curiously and greedily, and soon two small green mantises climbed on Tang Ping's spread hair, and two small jade-white spiders also followed. Tang Ping's hair climbed up to the top of her head, and her big black bean-like eyes stared greedily at the two beads in Ah Jiu's hand.
Tang Ping didn't know why at first. She was pulled up in a daze while she was sleeping. Then she could barely tell that it was Ah Jiu who was pulling her up in front of her. Then her eyes lit up with the oily yellow light. stand up.
Tang Ping has dealt with countless demon pills, from the lowest-grade demon pills found on ordinary monsters to the mid-level demon pills she recently obtained. After seeing too many demon pills, she has some eyesight and insight. Now these two are in front of her. This was the first time Tang Ping had seen it in her life, but thinking about what Ah Jiu was doing when she went out, there was no need to ask. At this time, these two beads were definitely two high-level demon pills.
Looking up, Tang Ping's sleepiness had long gone. She was already excited. Then she reached out and took one from Ah Jiu, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and asked:
"You succeeded so quickly?"
"Yeah, it sounds like it went well. It's just that at the beginning, I wasn't sure about Mr. Qian's methods, so I wasted some time. Otherwise, I would have come back earlier."
After hearing Ah Jiu say this, Tang Ping asked again;
"How did those two guys behave at that time?"
"What kind of performance? As Mr. Qian said, he was extremely weak and was easily taken down by me. In fact, if I had been patient and waited for a day or two, I would have been able to do it without any effort."
Ah Jiu said as he saw two small green mantises crawling on Tang Ping's hand that was holding his high-level demon pill. They also extended their respective arms and swords to compare with the demon pill. Ah Jiu then waved his hands to drive them away angrily and said:
"Anyway, it went very well. You can go and tell Mr. Qian when dawn comes, and we can continue trading, ha!"
After saying that, Ah Jiu took back the demon elixir from Tang Ping's hand and patted a storage bag into Tang Ping's hand. Inside were the Arrow Pig and Horn Bird that were killed by Ah Jiu. She only took the demon pill from the two guys. According to the previous agreement with Qian Chao, the bodies of these two guys belonged to Qian Chao. Then Ah Jiu left under the gaze of the room full of spiritual birds and beasts. .
But as soon as Ajiu returned to Fairy Guhuo's cave, she heard Fairy Guhuo's voice coming from the living room:
"Ajiu, are you back?"
"oh."
Fairy Guhuo discovered Ah Jiu as early as when she sneaked out at night. She knew what Ah Jiu was going to do. After all, he was the most important spiritual bird around Fairy Guhuo, so she had been waiting for Ah Jiu uneasily. return.
"elder sister."
Fairy Guhuo first looked at Ah Jiu up and down, and saw that her expression was the same and she didn't look injured. Then she was a little relieved, and then asked:
"Did you succeed?"
"it's here."
Ah Jiu didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of Fairy Gu Huo. He took out the two demon pills and handed them to Fairy Gu Huo. Suddenly, the small living room was filled with a layer of oily yellow light. .
Fairy Guhuo recognized the two high-level demon pills in front of her at a glance. She picked up one, looked at it, and said:
"This one should be the demon elixir from that arrow pig. Well, the quality is really good. How about it? Are you good at dealing with those two guys in there?"
"Well, it went very well. Those two guys didn't have the arrogance at all. They were as weak as if they were seriously ill. I killed them easily."
Hearing this, Fairy Guhuo nodded. Originally she was still doubtful about Qian Chao's methods, but now these two high-level demon pills are in front of her. With these things, Ah Jiu's cultivation will improve even faster. , you can also benefit from Fairy Guhuo. Thinking of this, Fairy Guhuo said:
"I didn't expect that kid Qian Chao's formation would be so wonderful. It's really rare."
Ah Jiu nodded. There was one thing she didn't mention to Tang Ping, but she couldn't hide it in front of Fairy Guhuo, so she said:
"There is one more thing I must tell my sister."
"What's up?"
"I dealt with the Horned Bird first, and then went to kill the Arrow Pig. There was nothing unusual about the Bird, but near the Arrow Pig's nest, I found that someone had used salivation incense there."
Fairy Guhuo was startled after hearing this, looked at Ah Jiu and asked:
"Did you find that person?"
"Judging from the smell of the salivation incense that remained there, I guessed that the person had been using the salivation incense not long ago, and the other party must have been trying to lure the arrow pig out of the nest. The smell of the salivation incense was I headed straight to the south...that is, in the direction of the Xiaoxiao Bird, but because I was trapped by Qianchao's formation, the Arrow Swallow was not lured away. Later, I looked around in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest and used some The plan found that person, it was that Shangguan girl."
Hearing this, Fairy Guhuo suddenly understood and said:
"Sure enough, salivating incense. Looking at the entire Yuling Sect, only my senior brother would always have this thing on him, but he was in retreat. Well, I didn't expect him to give this thing to his disciples. If If she really led her all the way to find Xiaoxiao Bird, there must be an earth-shaking struggle in the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. She used similar methods in Shouwo Mountain. It seems that this kind of cooperation between you and Qian Xiaozi is still It is necessary to at least make her plan come to nothing."
…
Tang Ping came to Qian Chao's residence excitedly early in the morning.
Qian Chao was a little surprised to see Tang Ping. Tang Ping came too early, just early in the morning. He said:
"Girl Tang, you came too early. I even said that I would look for you today."
"Oh, what, you have some clues about your matter?"
"No, but there are other things I want to talk to you about..."
"Wait, let's take a look at this first."
As Tang Ping said that, she threw the storage bag that Ah Jiu had given her before dawn today to Qian Chao.
What was in the bag was the bodies of the Arrow Pig and the Horn Bird. Of course Qian Chao had seen them before. When he was setting up the formation, he stayed near the nests of these two guys for a while. After seeing these two guys, , Qian Chao knew that Ah Jiu had already been to Thousand Needles Pine Forest, and it was possible that he had just returned last night, otherwise Tang Ping would not have been so excited to come to him in the morning.
"It seems that Ah Jiu succeeded. It's a pity that we can't use the materials on these two guys yet." Qian Chao said.
The demon elixirs of the Arrow and the Xiaoniao must be priceless treasures, but the corpses of these two guys are also rare treasures. The sinews, leather, and feathers and beaks are all high-level weapon refining materials. It must be a magic weapon that can only be used by Danjie monks. Although it is of almost no use to Qian Chao now, it is a good thing to keep it for the future. What's more, although these materials are not used, these two guys They are treasures to both Lu Pingchuan and Houtu Temple. The cooking method of Houtu Temple can make these two guys into delicacies that are very beneficial to the monks. I think Lu Pingchuan will be happy when he sees these two guys. .
Tang Ping asked:
"Just now you said you were going to see me today, and it wasn't because of what you were doing before. So what are you going to see me for?"
"It's something very important that I can't explain in a few words. Sit down and listen to me explain it slowly."
Next, Qian Chao told Tang Ping all the things that Chao Zhu came to tell her late last night. These were definitely beyond Tang Ping's expectations. After listening, she sat there in a daze.
After a while, Tang Ping finally spoke:
"I have indeed heard of the Chao family in Ningzhou, and it is indeed a family that has emerged in recent years. Jing Jie's mother was born in the Chao family. As for Jing Lu, I have seen it once or twice. Well, also As Chao Zhu said, Jing Lu is considered to be the most outstanding junior among the Jing family. He has good cultivation and good skills. He is deeply loved and valued by the elders of the Jing family. But he never expected that he would fall in love with Zong. Zongcheng of the family. I have met Zongcheng a few times. She is indeed a beauty. In terms of appearance, she is on par with Sister Yan. But let alone a close friendship, Zongcheng and I don’t even speak much. Mr. Qian, this matter Things can't be that simple. Why do I always feel like Jing Lu is being used? In the end, Jing Lu might die, and then those people will insist that we killed Jing Lu, so it doesn't matter whether they can get rid of him or not. If you leave us, we will all be in serious trouble."
Qian Chao nodded and said:
"Who do you think will benefit in the end if that happens?"
"It is very likely that it is the Zong family, but it is also impossible to say that the other three families took the opportunity to suppress the Zong and Jing families."
"Yes, one more thing. I have always suspected that the Chao family has been keeping an eye on the Jing family since Jing Jie's mother married into the Jing family. I tentatively asked Chao Zhu last night, but she refused to tell me. Let me verify it myself. Chao Zhu must know that we have something and will not hide it from the sect council. It seems that the Chao family discovered Jing Lu’s abnormality while staring at Jing’s family. Originally, they could directly report it to the sect. Report, but they are worried that the sect will let the situation develop for the purpose of suppressing the five clans in the sect. In this way, Jinglu’s fate can be imagined. The Chao family is not willing to let the Jing clan decline so quickly. At the same time, This matter involves us again, so Chao Zhu came to me late at night to talk about this matter. It is very likely that we have to resolve this matter through our hands. Tang Yatou, in my opinion, Chao Zhu is definitely not an ordinary woman. She is a very special person. smart person."
After hearing this, Tang Ping said:
"Then this matter..."
"This matter must be reported to Senior Tang Bo. We still know too little about the affairs within the sect. We cannot do things that conflict with the council's plans, so we must tell the council."
"Forget it, it's not too late, let's go find my sixth grandfather now."
"good."
