"The underworld has made extremely big moves this time, and they are going to target our Zhenjiang Prefecture." Qi Yuan said to Lu Qingshan as soon as Lin Yao left the hall.

Lu Qingshan was silent.

The Rebellion of the Corpse Puppet is the main plot of the first game version of "Nine Heavens", so it can naturally be called a big move.

"For this operation, they first planned for a long time to seize my secret mirror.

Although Minamotoyama Castle's plan to seize the mirror failed, I have felt vaguely uneasy since then.

The underworld never does anything without a clear purpose. Since they want to take away my Tianji mirror, they must have some special ideas. They are afraid of being discovered by the Tianji mirror's [Sky Viewing], so they act like this.

So after I came back, I thought about it for a long time, and finally used the power of the Tianji Mirror [to observe the sky] again.

At first, all I saw was a fog."

This should be the price paid by the underworld to cover up the scene caused by Tianji.

"This fog made me understand that things were not simple, and then I tried my best to activate the power of observing the sky regardless of the cost. Do you know what I saw?" Qi Yuan asked.

Qi Yuan said it in an understatement, but the meaning behind it was far from being so relaxed.

His disregard for the cost cost him nearly all of his lifespan.

Lu Qingshan sighed in his heart, but then asked: "What?"

"The entire area of ​​Zhenjiang Prefecture, from the county town to the prefecture, is surrounded by a lingering black mist and bloody light."

Qi Yuan's tone was calm, but what he said was earth-shattering.

Lu Qingshan's heart moved.

The development of things has changed.

This time, Qi Yuan did not lose the Tianji mirror, and through [Observing the Sky], he spent almost all his lifespan to obtain information that he had never discovered in his previous life.

This is the turning point.

Lu Qingshan frowned and deliberately guided: "Does this mean that this operation of the underworld will sweep across the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture area?"

Qi Yuan nodded: "I think so too, but I have no way of knowing what methods the underworld will prepare to use.

I don’t know how long the underworld has been planning this operation, and we have no way of starting it.”

The secrets of heaven cannot be leaked. Being able to see signs through [Observing the Sky] is already a powerful ability to intercept the heavens. Do you want to truly crack the conspiracy of the underworld?

Only man can conquer heaven.

Qi Yuan continued: "It wasn't until you reported the price increase of the three spiritual materials of Strong Corpse Liquid that we found a breakthrough."

Qi Yuan and Zhi Shou Lou are not weak in ability. The reason why Lu Qingshan can always detect information that they cannot find is because Lu Qingshan clearly knows the direction of the plot.

Hindsight is not that difficult.

He can deduce the course of action in the underworld through the results of events that he already knows.

During the Corpse Puppet Rebellion, the underworld dispatched an uncountable amount of corpse puppets.

And to refine such a large number of corpse puppets, the raw materials consumed would be incalculable.

Therefore, with a little thought, you can guess that in recent decades, the price of raw materials for refining corpse puppets in the Zhenjiang Prefecture area will definitely rise.

This is nothing in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

But for Qi Yuan and Zhishou Lou, without knowing that the underworld will cause this chaos by using corpse puppets, who can notice that in the vast market of spiritual materials, how many of them have the same spiritual materials?

What about price changes?

Therefore, Qi Yuan and Tantai Qingrun were always shocked that Lu Qingshan could discover this, and they unconsciously raised their evaluation of Lu Qingshan to a certain level in their hearts.

"During this period, we investigated the monks who had purchased the main ingredients of the strong corpse liquid in large quantities in the past twenty years, and then through these monks, we followed the clues and found the people behind them.

As expected, although they are extremely well hidden, one or two clues to the underworld can be found in these people.

We have already laid out this net. Just in case, the Zhenjiang Tower has also applied for reinforcements from the Qingzhou Main Tower. Once the reinforcements arrive, it will be an opportunity to close the net."

Qi Yuan let out a long sigh: "Although I guessed that the underworld has penetrated very deeply into Zhenjiang Mansion, I never expected that just the tip of the iceberg revealed would be so huge."

...

After finishing the conversation, Lu Qingshan breathed out slowly, feeling a little strange in his heart.

——For some unknown purpose, Qi Yuan actually told him the details of Zhishoulou’s operation and plan.

Lu Qingshan was thinking about this in his mind while preparing to leave Tianji Tower.

As soon as he left the west hall, within a few steps, he saw Lin Yao, who had been waiting for him for an unknown amount of time.

"Young Master Lu." Lin Yao saw Lu Qingshan approaching and hurriedly greeted him and stopped him.

"Um?"

Lin Yao and Lu Qingshan looked at each other with their peach blossom eyes inherited from Qingling Master Lu Bei, their eyelids sank, they pursed their lips and asked: "Why do you want to use the favor that Qi Shou owes you to the young master on me?"

Lin Yao felt a little panicked in her heart.

Since they met, Lu Qingshan has helped her twice, and now, Lu Qingshan has given her such a great opportunity.

Lu Qingshan Shi Shiran said: "I just agreed to the original promise."

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then she remembered.

Lu Qingshan had mentioned to her at the beginning that he would help him become a Yuanying monk, and the price would be that she would serve Lu Qingshan when he needed him.

She didn't take it seriously at the time, and the matter was revealed.

Later, as the price for Lu Qingshan's help to the Lin family, she voluntarily surrendered to Lu Qingshan, but she didn't expect that Lu Qingshan still remembered this?

Lu Qingshan saw the doubts in Lin Yao's heart, chuckled, and explained: "What's more, you can only be useful to me after you fully awaken the illusory body divine vein. I don't need a vase."

Lin Yao was silent for a while, and finally promised firmly: "I will practice hard so that I can repay Mr. Lu's kindness as soon as possible."

Lu Qingshan was not polite and nodded happily accepting Lin Yao's promise.

Monks must fight.

This is the biggest opportunity Lin Yao has encountered since she was born, so even though she is a little scared, she will not refuse this opportunity no matter what.

Suddenly remembering something, Lu Qingshan took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was startled and took the jade slip: "This is it?"

Lu Qingshan had a mysterious smile on his face: "This is a magical power I specially compiled for you.

It can maximize the ability of your illusory body and divine veins, so you should remember to practice more on weekdays."

Lin Yao's expression became solemn: "Young Master Lu has given me magical powers, so I shouldn't dare to despise them."

...

Lu Qingshan left Tianji Tower.

Lin Yao is a tricky chess piece that doesn't have much effect now, but can be used as a general in the future.

If you want her to be able to play a role, you have to let her develop safely for a period of time.

He has done everything he can do so far.

Tianji Guan, there will be no sect in the entire human race that can surpass it. As long as it can get the respect of Tianji Guan, Tianji Guan can push Lin Yao to the Nascent Soul stage even if it uses a huge amount of resources.

Moreover, by avoiding Zhenjiang Mansion, one can also avoid the Corpse Puppet Rebellion at the end of the year.

In her previous life, she most likely died in the Corpse Puppet Rebellion, so Lin Yao, who had no sound at all, was able to change her own destiny.

The time now is late August, and there are only three or four months left before the Corpse Puppet Rebellion at the end of the year.

After all, the time is too short.

Lu Qingshan sighed deeply in his heart.

If the timeline from which he traveled could be pushed back a few decades to allow him to develop properly, he would have full confidence and ability to easily stop this chaos on his own.

Now we can only take one step at a time and try our best to see where we can go.

But no matter how things progress, Lu Qingshan has already drawn a bottom line for himself in his heart.

You must leave Zhenjiang City before November to avoid the underworld massacre during the Corpse Rebellion.

...

After Lu Qingshan left, Lin Yao quickly checked the contents of the jade slip.

She was very curious about the magical power Lu Qingshan left in her.

What could it be?

Seven characters come to mind.
