Chapter 88 An unexpected helping hand
Ji Ruming lowered his head and kowtowed with a pale face. He stared at the floor in front of him and did not dare to raise his head at all.
Yes, what Ou Yezi said is absolutely correct. He has been secretly refining the Qingyun Sword Pattern in his body for these years, and he has been working hard! However, the result was of no use. He was still heartbroken. Every time he was in front of the Qingyun Sect, he felt as humble as a dog.
And all this is thanks to the "Qingyun Sword Pattern". I think back then, Ou Yezi also used this trick to control Ji Shenfu. It was at that time that the lord of Luoye City became Ou Yezi's pawn.
The city lord of Qingyun City is from the same clan as Ji Shenfu. Ji Ruming is one generation higher than Ji Shenfu. Five years ago, there was a vacancy in Qingyun City for the city lord. Ou Yezi asked Ji Shenfu to recommend elites from the sect to appoint him here. .
After some hard work, the uncle and nephew both became loyal supporters of the Qingyun Sect.
This Qingyun sword pattern is actually an application of sword intention by the sword intention school. It uses sword intention to occupy the opponent's Qi sea, and then gradually spreads to the whole body, causing the recipient to gradually lose control of the true energy in the body. The result of this is that the true energy will automatically circulate around the sky according to the previous route, and attack all the meridians around the body at the same time. This kind of pain is definitely unbearable for people.
And the only way to suppress the Qingyun Sword Mark, or in other words, to contact the Qingyun Sword Mark, is Ou Yezi's sword intention. Use new sword intent to form new sword patterns to suppress the old sword patterns.
Therefore, during the whole process, there was no inner energy or true energy at all, so their attempts to use inner energy, heaven and earth true energy, or even elixirs to cure the disease would have no effect at all.
As long as Ou Yezi personally takes action to relieve it, or his own martial arts realm exceeds that of the old man known as the "Three Saints of the Clouds", it will be difficult to find any other way.
Lao Yezi was naturally satisfied after getting the clues he wanted. He ignored Ji Ruming, who was kneeling there and did not dare to get up, and simply disappeared from where he was.
Qingyun City, Jiuhua Tower.
This is the highest-grade restaurant in Qingyun City and one of the signature buildings in Qingyun City. The nine-story Jiuhua Tower is a good choice whether it is for literati to climb up and see the distance, or for people from all walks of life to gather together.
However, Jiuhua Tower last night also became the focus of the court's inquiry. Although the boss behind Jiuhua Tower and the city lord Ji Ruming are old friends, this matter involves the orders of the Qingyun Sect. Even if they are acquaintances, there should be no favoritism at all. .
Fortunately, the person in charge behind the scenes of Jiuhua Tower was also discerning and did not make any excuses. He did not even say hello to Ji Ruming and completely obeyed the arrangements of the officials. There were quite a few messengers sent this time, more than twenty people.
The shopkeeper and the waiters were all gathered on the first floor, watching these men in black police uniforms arranging and finishing the finishing work. You must know that a whole night has passed!
"Brother, official officer, I really have nothing to explain! That middle-aged man doesn't look like much. He just wears a blue robe and looks like..."
The official knocked on the table and said angrily: "How does it look? You think I want to waste time with you here, don't think about anything else, think about it!"
"He doesn't look like a big shot, but like a small businessman!" the waiter muttered vaguely.
"Well, besides saying that the drinks in your restaurant are not good, what else did he say?" A voice suddenly came from behind the official, which surprised the waiter. When he looked up, it was a thin old man standing there. Behind the officer.
The official didn't say anything, he still looked down at himself and remembered the content of the inquiry. The waiter felt a little weird, but he still swallowed and continued: "He said that our wine is not good, and it is far different from what he drank before. He also said, uh, what else did he say about Mie Yunzhan? Wine is the real good wine.”
After hearing the waiter's words, the old man's face instantly became serious. This person was Ou Yezi who came from the city lord's mansion. Now that I've found the clue, it's better to come over and take a look.
The words of the waiter were written on the piece of silk he saw before. Maybe to ordinary people, Yun Mie Zhan and wine are illusory things, and some people may even question their authenticity.
But in fact, the two kinds of wine that the mysterious middle-aged man mentioned actually exist.
Mieyunzhan is the drink used by Luo Yunzong for sacrifice every year. As for the object of sacrifice, it is naturally the founder of Confucianism and the most holy teacher, Ziqiu. Today's Luo Yun Sect is recognized as the orthodox Confucian religion in the world. There is a golden statue of the founder of Confucianism in the sect. The last day of the first month of spring every year is the day when Luo Yun Sect pays homage to this Confucian saint. .
And this Mie Yun Zhan is naturally the wine used for sacrifices. According to legend, this wine was brewed after the Luo Yun Kingdom destroyed the Yunxiao Kingdom. Most of the natural materials and earthly treasures from the Yunxiao Sect's Medicine Valley were put into it, and a total of four hundred jars were brewed. Every year when paying homage to Confucian saints, a jar is opened, which can be regarded as one of the most precious drinks in the world.
This mysterious middle-aged man claimed that he had drank the Mie Yun Zhan. If it was true, then this person’s identity would be among the dozen or so people! There are no more than ten people in the world who are lucky enough to have sang this cloud-destroying lamp!
As for the ice wine he was talking about, it also has an extraordinary origin! Even more mysterious than Mie Yunzhan. As the northernmost powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms, the Far East Kingdom is also the place with the most borders on the "endless wilderness" to the west.
Endless Wilderness is a region without state rule. It is covered with icy desert all year round. The extremely low climate has formed perennial frozen soil there, and there is no rainfall every few years, making this place unsuitable for human survival at all. . Those living here are also some business travelers or people of color.
The reason why there are business trips is naturally to avoid the Far Eastern Kingdom's policy of closing borders. After all, the more closed it is, the greater the need for transactions. If there is a need, there will naturally be merchants. And this ice wine is a widely circulated legend in the Far East Kingdom.
According to legend, there are people living in the depths of the endless wilderness. They are different from ordinary people. These people believe in totems and rely on "oasis" to thrive. In their belief, oasis is the greatest miracle. . And this ice wine comes from these "barbarians"!
After all, Ou Yezi has traveled around the world for decades, so his breadth of knowledge is naturally extraordinary! It seems that this middle-aged man who quietly sneaked into the Qingyun Sect should be a big shot, and he is very likely to be one of the few people standing at the top!
…………Dividing line…………
Yi Xifeng looked at the five people around him. Their faces were all ugly at this time. The reason was for no other reason than the hateful Behemoths opposite!
The six of them can be described as young talents in the world. They are all top-notch in terms of martial arts and strategy. But just now, they were attacked by those beasts.
First, the Behemoth on Yi Xifeng's side suddenly exerted force, directly ignoring his golden sword attack, and used the "Beast King's Roar"!
Fortunately, Yi Xifeng's spirit surged, and he made an evasive action the moment before the king of alien beasts made his move, and managed to avoid the bombardment with little risk.
You must know that the reason why alien beasts are difficult to deal with, or the important means that can threaten martial arts experts, is this move "Beast King Roar". It mobilizes its own converted spiritual energy and uses its powerful body to directly compress and release it in the body. It is not like a warrior at all, who also needs to activate the blessing of the true energy of heaven and earth. In front of the mouth of the King of Alien Beasts, a powerful spiritual energy impact was released directly!
Along with the high temperature and powerful penetrating power, its power is quite destructive! It is a great threat to both people and buildings. If a "Beast King Roar" like the one just hit Yi Xifeng directly, it would most likely knock him to pieces.
But this Behemoth's beast-king roar was not a rash attack as imagined. Combined with the subsequent actions of the other three Behemoths, everyone could confirm that these were all discussed in advance.
First, Behemoth on Yi Xifeng's side used the beast king's roar to attract the attention of the others, and the other three used this opportunity to launch sneak attacks. If it were just these, the six of them could still handle it. After all, except for Lin Fenghuo, the rest of them were habitually wary of being attacked by surprise.
But the real back-up plan of these four strange beast kings is the roar of the beast king!
The orange-yellow beam of light in the middle was like a speeding cannonball, passing by Yi Xifeng's side, and then flattening the hills not far away!
At this time, they were near a small lake. The surrounding terrain was naturally slightly higher than the lake, and the flattened hill was actually more like the edge of the depression.
The powerful roar of the beast king, its penetrating power and high temperature directly melted the rock formations, and suddenly a pillar-shaped hole ten feet deep appeared on this hill for hundreds of years, and the previous top of the mountain had disappeared.
Before the six people could react, the water from the small lake poured into the cracked hole instantly, and the cracked rock formations cooled instantly under the impact of the water flow, and shattered under the change of cold and heat.
As the water flow continued to pour back, the lake level continued to drop. When everyone noticed something unusual, the four Behemoths had reunited at the entrance to the bottom of the lake!
"What are they doing?"
Geng Shu looked at the sudden change in the surrounding terrain, and his expression became very strange. He already had a premonition that something was about to happen.
I saw these four huge Behemoths surrounding the entrance to the third level at the bottom of the lake, letting out a low roar!
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the entrance!
The curved horns shot straight into the sky, and there were terrifying muscles wrapped under the dark fur. It had a long horse face with sharp fangs exposed from its mouth. It walked out of the entrance in a flash, and when he raised his head, he naturally looked at them!
Seeing that very human and contemptuous smile, Yi Xifeng's heart sank slightly! This group of Behemoths actually led the Behemoths from the third floor to the second floor!
"The intelligence of these beasts is no worse than that of humans! We were actually fooled by them!" Lin Fenghuo muttered fiercely.
When the six people saw the newly-appeared Behemoth, they knew that the situation was imminent, so they immediately withdrew. At this time, everyone was sitting around, obviously wanting to discuss some countermeasures.
At this time, even Wu Hao, who always had his eyes on the top, sat around. The Qingyun Sword Tomb, as one of the most important sword tombs in the world, is indeed not so easy to deal with. Even the Luo Yun Sect, which has a large family and a large business, and even Wu Hao, who can look down on most people in the younger generation, are also unable to please.
He was glad that he did not leave the team to explore on his own. If he had been careless, his exploration of the secret realm would have been dangerous. Regardless of whether he could withstand the siege of five or even more Behemoths, his intelligence, which was not inferior to that of others, forced him to face up to his opponents.
"The exploration of the Sword Tomb can only go to the third level. It makes sense! The third level has such strength, what will it be like if we enter the fourth level?" Yi Xifeng murmured to himself, originally thinking His group, not considered newcomers, should be considered the strongest group of young disciples in recent years, and the important task of opening the fourth level must naturally be completed by himself.
Now it seems that the weakness of the fourth layer of enchantment coincided with their good opportunity, but the good opportunity made everyone mistakenly think that their strength was high, which led to the current situation!
Not only Wu Hao, but also Yi Xifeng, Lin Fenghuo and others, they were still careless!
