"Hello, Shu Guan."
A sweet female voice came from the green jade-like porcelain vase.
Shu Guan heard it immediately, it was Nakata Sakurako's voice.
Because he had secretly followed and monitored the woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun for a period of time and heard her talking to others, so he could naturally distinguish her voice.
"Nakata Sakurako?"
However, Shu Guan still asked as if he was confirming.
"Yes, it's me, but my real name should actually be Minamoto Sakurako."
The woman's voice from the bottle answered Shu Guan's question calmly.
Frankly, it was a bit unexpected.
This kind of calmness often means a certain kind of strong self-confidence, the self-confidence that everything is under control.
Otherwise, a person who installs a "eavesdropping device" in someone else's home will never admit his or her identity to the owner.
So Shu Guan was silent for a moment, and then asked again.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
A burst of delicate laughter came from the bottle again, and then the laughter gradually subsided, leaving only a vague word.
"After today, you will know."
Then, after Shu Guan waited for a long time, there was no other sound from the bottle.
Shu Guan knew that the other party would never talk to him again.
...You will know after today...
In other words, the big event that the Black Dragon Society is planning will inevitably happen today.
What do they want to do?
Shu Guan could not wait to run to the Consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun immediately and find the woman named Nakata Yingzi, oh, no, it should be Yuan Yingzi and ask for details.
Unfortunately, he can't go now because he has more important things to do.
Master Li Zhixia is still hiding in the Taiping Dingshi Bell Tower, and she might be found by other people from the Seven Immortals Alliance at some point.
I don’t know where my brothers and sisters are now.
Shu Guan also wants to find them.
At least for now, Shu Guan believes that these things are more important to him than what the Black Dragon Society is planning.
Then Shu Guan raised his hand and smashed the celadon moon bottle with one palm.
This should be a very interesting magic weapon, but unfortunately he wanted to say something to Master Qi next, but he didn't want to be heard by the other party again, so he had no choice but to destroy the bottle.
Then Shu Guan turned around and looked at Master Qi and Han Biao.
"Little brother Zhu."
Han Biao twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled at Shu Guan.
He had been lying in bed for two years. Although he regained consciousness very early, he was confused most of the time. Today he finally woke up.
So he knew something was going on here, but he understood how serious it was.
, the strongest emotion in his heart now is the joy of being able to reunite with Shuguan. In addition, he still has many things he wants to ask Shuguan.
"Uncle Han, you finally woke up."
Shu Guan also smiled at Han Biao.
Han Biao was "alive" again, and he was equally happy, but at this moment, it was by no means the time to reminisce about the past.
Because he still has a lot to do today.
So after Shu Guan smiled, his face immediately became serious.
"Uncle Han, I have a favor to ask you."
Han Biao, who originally had a lot to say, immediately swallowed everything back in his stomach, including the gratitude he originally wanted to express to Shu Guan.
His face couldn't show much expression, but his tone became as solemn as Shu Guan's.
"Brother Shu, tell me."
"Uncle Han, please help me guard this temple today. No one can enter the temple until my fellow disciples come back."
"Brother Shu, don't worry, even if I die again, I, Han Biao, will never betray your trust."
Shu Guan took a step forward, opened his arms, but immediately retracted them.
He originally wanted to hug Han Biao, but suddenly he remembered that he possesses the Nine Transformations Pure Yang Kung and has the body of dragon blood. Although Han Biao is not a ghost, he is still half human and half ghost, and he can give it to him. Get hurt by your own.
So in the end he could only nod vigorously towards Han Biao, and then looked at Uncle Qi.
"Lao Qi, what happened today? Where is your master? And where are the other people in the temple?"
Master Qi had been looking at him. When he saw Shu Guan turning his head, he immediately asked in a deep voice.
Shu Guan was silent for a moment, looked down at his toes, and then said something.
"The master is Yanzi."
"His name is Li Yan. When we were young, our brothers and sisters all called him Yanzi... You mean, he is the 'Yanzi'?"
"Yes."
"...Did he kill Tan Yankai?"
"Yes."
So Uncle Qi was silent for a long time.
Then he burst out laughing, laughing till tears rolled down his cheeks, bending over and coughing, while not forgetting to give a thumbs up.
"Good boy... Haha, I'm talking about your master. Your master is still the same Yan Zi when he was young."
"Good kill!...cough cough cough..."
Shu Guan smiled bitterly. He originally thought that Master Qi would scold his master with hatred, but he didn't expect Master Qi to have such an attitude.
Then he stepped forward and patted Master Qi's quilt. After a trace of spiritual energy slowly passed over him, Master Qi's coughing finally stopped.
"Is your master going crazy?"
After Master Qi took a few breaths, his expression turned serious and he asked again.
"It's not that he was obsessed, but that he was possessed by a foreign object. The specific situation is very complicated, but now the master has returned to normal."
Uncle Qi did not dwell on what foreign object possessed Li Zhixia and continued to ask:
"Where is he now? Do Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy know about him?"
"I know, so the master is hiding in a safe place now, that is..."
"do not tell me."
Master Qi immediately interrupted Shu Guan's words, and then asked:
"What's he going to do next?"
"Master didn't say anything, he just asked me to come back to find other brothers..."
Shu Guan paused, then looked at Master Qi, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes and said:
"Uncle Qi, today...may be the last time this disciple sees you..."
Master Qi was slightly startled, but he immediately understood what Shu Guan meant.
"Are you planning to escape?"
"...If the master is prepared to do this, I will follow him!"
Shu Guan nodded firmly.
"You are Lu Zu's chosen successor, how can you betray the family..."
Master Qi originally exclaimed, but then he seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Shu Guan with a strange look, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Lao Qi, you are a filial person,...well...you might as well follow..."
He murmured this in his mouth.
Then Master Qi suddenly raised his head, pointed towards the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion and said:
"When you leave, take all three magic weapons with you!"
"What!"
Shu Guan was also stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he heard wrongly.
"You take them with you for self-defense. From now on, you masters and disciples will be on the run, and you will encounter many dangers. Take all three of these treasures with you!"
"...What should we do in Guanli?"
Shu Guan still looked at Master Qi blankly.
"Oh, if there really are no more objects to watch in the temple... then the two patriarchs will always find a way to send some new magic weapons, unless Lu Zu doesn't want the Shanji Temple in Jingcheng."
Master Qi chuckled and said:
"When Master Qixia took the Qingxin Bell away, it seemed that nothing happened. Even if you are traitors, you were still disciples of Shan Ji Guan. As long as you don't really fall into the hands of outsiders."
Shu Guan took a deep look at Master Qi and confirmed that Master Qi was not joking.
Then he thought about it and felt that if the master really decided to leave Jingcheng, he would indeed face a lot of dangers in the future. Fortunately for him, he had the things left by the old cripple, but the master really needed some self-defense weapons.
So Shu Guan went up to the third floor, and first went to the room where the Qing Xin Bell was placed. The Qing Xin Bell was placed on a stone eucalyptus in the middle of the room, surrounded by eight black stone dolls about three inches high.
Shu Guan glanced at the black stone dolls with considerable sincerity. He had suffered a lot from these stone dolls in the Qixiaguan Underground Palace.
Then he stepped forward and put all the Qingxin Bell and the eight stone dolls into a jade box under the stone table.
Speaking of which, including the Lieyang Pearl lost in Taoyuan Valley, among the four original treasures of Shan Si Guan, the Qing Xin Bell may be the most "behaved" magic weapon.
The effect of this treasure is that it has the power to capture the mind and calm the soul, and can help practitioners resist the invasion of inner demons. It is somewhat similar to Shu Guan's Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique, but it does not have the ability of Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique to attack other people's souls.
Therefore, among the four original treasures of the town, the Qingxin Bell is the least offensive.
However, after it was taken away by Qixia Zhenren, Qixia Zhenren refined eight stone human Taoist soldiers. The strength of each Taoist soldier is equivalent to that of a practitioner in the First Awareness Realm. The eight stone dolls can also form a Taoist soldier formation. , the attack power is comparable to that of a strong person in the Fetal Movement Realm.
Master Qixia used the Qingxin Bell as a tool to control these eight stone human Taoist soldiers, so these eight stone human Taoist soldiers can also be regarded as part of the Qingxin Bell.
The level of the Qingxin Bell has been greatly improved. If the original four treasures of Shanjiguan are re-ranked, the Qingxin Bell should be second only to the Manniu Banner.
Putting the Qingxin Bell into the jade box, Shu Guan took the jade box and exited the room.
Then he walked into the room next to the room where the Ice Soul Cold Light Needle was placed.
Among the rooms on the third floor, this room was the one he was most familiar with, because on the first and fifteenth day of every month, he and Li Zhixia would come to this room to help Han Biao refine the corpse puppet body.
So Shu Guan thought that he was familiar with the Bingpo Cold Light Needle. Unexpectedly, when he picked up the jade box in this room and put the Bingpo Cold Light Needle in, the Bingpo Cold Light Needle was indeed on the left side of the room. Feifei right Feifei, no matter what, refused to enter the box.
It wasn't until Xiaoyi spoke that the silver needle, the most mobile of the four magic weapons, finally flew into the box obediently.
"What did you tell it?"
When Shu Guan walked out of the room holding the second box, he couldn't help but curiously asked Xiao Yi.
"I said I would take him out to play, and he could play for a long, long time. Maybe he would never come back again."
"……oh……"
Then Shu Guan entered the front room again and took out the Man Niu flag.
Among the four magic weapons of Shanjiguan, the most moving one is naturally the Ice Soul Cold Light Needle, but the "most disobedient" one has not yet had its turn.
The most difficult magic weapon to obtain has always been the Man Cow Flag. During the battle with the Fuhua Warehouse, you can see how individual the Man Cow Flag is. Halfway through the battle, it ran away and wandered off on its own.
However, Manniu Banner's "disobedience" is more manifested when it is used. Normally, Manniu Banner looks like it doesn't matter.
Of course, this kind of indifference can also be interpreted as being cold or too lazy to care about you.
In short, Shuguan successfully put the Manniu flag into the jade box and brought it out.
When he came down the stairs holding three jade boxes, Master Qi came over with a thick stack of talismans.
"Take it."
Uncle Qi handed over the stack of talismans.
Shu Guan was startled again.
Because the talismans in Master Qi's hands are not the ones painted by the fifth senior brother, but the talismans left by the ancestors of Shan Jiguan.
Normally, even if the disciples use one, Master Qi will feel distressed for a long time.
Now, such a large stack was brought directly, which was one-third of the original remaining total.
"Take it, you'll need it later."
Seeing Shu Guan hesitate, Master Qi glared at him.
Shu Guan had no choice but to take it.
"...Then, Master Qi, I'll leave now."
"go quickly."
But just when Shu Guan walked out of the treasure house, Master Qi suddenly called him.
"etc."
Shu Guan turned around.
Uncle Qi did not speak directly. After being silent for a while, he finally said something.
"Tell your master, don't do anything stupid."
Shu Guan laughed. He also understood what Master Qi meant. He nodded vigorously and said:
"I won't let the master do anything stupid. He can't beat me now, so I will take care of him."
Master Qi burst into laughter.
Shu Guan held three jade boxes and ran out of the Treasure Pavilion quickly and ran down the top of the cliff. When he ran past half of the buildings, he turned his head and glanced at the small building where he had lived for nearly two years, thinking about himself. I probably won't stay here again.
However, he had no intention of stopping and going in to take a look. Anyway, the old lame man had already taken away all his belongings, and there seemed to be no need to take away the rest.
I just don’t know what kind of person will live in this building again.
Shu Guan thought so and rushed out of Shanjiguan Mountain Gate.
On the cliff, the old Uncle Qi stood with his back bent, looking at the back of Shu Guan who left. It was not until Shu Guan's back disappeared outside the mountain gate that he turned around and staggered over. On the lounge chair in front of the Daozang Pavilion.
The old man slowly sat down and lay down, looking up at the white clouds floating in the sky, as if he was in a daze, or recalling some past events many years ago.
At some point, Master Qi had closed his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had entered the deepest dream.
…
Shu Guan ran down Guishan.
He was originally planning to run directly across the river, but when passing by Xintaoyuan Village, he happened to see dozens of young people, with faces full of exhaustion and dust on their bodies, walking out of the gate of the quarry on the riverside and heading towards the gate of Xintaoyuan Village. direction.
The leader was none other than Wang Dahu, and those following him were also young people from Taoyuan Village.
So Shuguan stopped, took off his invisibility charm, and revealed his figure.
I almost forgot that if I was really forced to leave Jingcheng this time, I would definitely have something to explain to Dahu and the others, and there would also be something to leave to the villagers of Taoyuan Village.
I was originally worried that I might not have the chance to go back to Taoyuan Village again, but now I met Wang Dahu on the road, it was just right.
"Big Tiger."
So Shu Guan shouted and waved to the group of Taoyuan Village youths.
Wang Dahu heard the sound and trotted over quickly, but when he started running, his legs were limping.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Shu Guan hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"It's okay. I was busy working in the stone quarry last night. I worked all night. In the middle of the night, I couldn't see clearly and sprained my feet. I'll just go back and apply some bruises."
Wang Dahu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Come here, let me take a look."
This kind of minor injury can be cured by just rubbing it with the spiritual energy contained in his palm a few times.
This kind of thing is not considered a violation of heaven's rules. Besides, is he still afraid of violating heaven's rules now?
Shu Guan looked between Wang Dahu's legs, but the next moment, he suddenly frowned.
Wang Dahu's trousers were stained with a lot of dust and stone chips. He had just come out of the quarry, so it was normal for him to be stained with these things.
But among the dust and stone chips, there were some pale purple granular powders.
Shu Guan looked familiar.
