Volume 21, Chapter 12 [Northbound Daughter with Sanxin Double Eyes]
When the two of them chatted until almost early in the morning, Linghu Xiao's eyes began to become sharp. He stared at Wang Rui, his expression changed, and he joked with a smile: "Xian brother, it was an expedient measure for you to pass the throne to me at the beginning, but now
You have returned safely, and it’s time for me to abdicate in favor of others.”
Wang Rui remained silent, while Linghu Xiao's breathing was a little heavy, with a hint of solemnity.
"There is no doubt about the talent of the elder brother. The Tiandao Alliance has flourished in the hands of the elder brother. The younger brother thinks that he cannot be so good and has no intention of serving as the leader of the alliance again. Please don't mention this matter again," Wang Rui said humbly, suddenly feeling solemn.
The feeling disappeared, and Linghu Xiao exhaled almost subconsciously.
Now, with his status and status, he was asked to give up everything in front of him and return it to Wang Rui again. Ling Huxiao found that he was so unwilling.
If Wang Rui really planned to resume his role as alliance leader, he had a premonition that the Tiandao Alliance would definitely split again.
"What my dear brother said puts me under a lot of pressure. I am also ashamed of you." Linghu Xiao had always had a thorn in his heart before, but he couldn't pull it out. Maybe he could use Wang Rui's help this time.
Wang Rui couldn't guess what he wanted to say for the time being, so he had to ask: "Why did eldest brother say this?"
"Well, originally the Tiandao Alliance was a monolithic unit, and everyone worked together. Even if the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance attacked us repeatedly in the years after you disappeared, I never lost confidence. But after that, how many times did my brother-in-law have?
A disciple had a lot of conflicts with me, and it was difficult to come together with many ideas. In the end, they left the Tiandao Alliance and founded the Yuantian Sect, but they did not join the Tiandao Alliance camp. This is a big loss for us. Now
My dear brother is back, how about persuading them to let Yuantian Sect join the Tiandao Alliance as soon as possible?"
"Sure enough, this is the matter." Wang Rui actually considered this and even planned to lobby Lu Rover and the others. However, Ling Hu Xiao mentioned it first, which made him feel that something was fishy.
Wang Rui muttered: "Brother is right, but I have only been back for a short period of time. Although the Yuantian Sect respects me as their ancestor, I have never fought alongside them, nor have I made any contributions to the sect. I'm afraid I don't think so.
Relying on the old and betraying the old will only make them feel dissatisfied, and this matter must be remembered for a long time."
"Okay, this matter is indeed a bit hasty. The overall situation in Dongxuanzhou is still calm at the moment. Yuan Kong has been in retreat. There are many rumors. He has not appeared in these years. It is estimated that there will be no trouble in the short term.
Dear brother, you can go around in the near future and familiarize yourself with the environment again." Ling Huxiao talked eloquently, and seemed to have the feeling of a local host entertaining foreign guests, which made Wang Rui feel a little uncomfortable.
How should I put it? Ling Huxiao was a man of amazing talent, beauty and righteousness, but he was also arrogant and arrogant, tough-minded and rarely merciful.
Perhaps Lu Lu and the others were disgusted with this, so they finally took a big risk and left the Tiandao Alliance and founded the Yuantian Sect. Although Wang Rui still needs to investigate the truth, he still has a good understanding of the character of the named disciples.
, is not an unreasonable person.
The next day, Linghu Xiao left in a hurry because of the affairs of the sect and the Immortal Alliance. There was a large crowd to greet him. An almost extravagant sedan was decorated with flowers and colorful spiritual stones. Four people carried the sedan.
The infinite monster monk.
At the same time, those who accompanied the sedan and served as personal guards were all monks of various ethnic groups with handsome faces, well-proportioned or slender bodies, and their cultivation levels were at least at the stage of forming an elixir.
A group of about thirty people left the Hundred Medicine Valley in a mighty manner. Wang Rui sighed for a while. Linghu Xiao's pomp was indeed amazing. There was no way he could do it. Maybe he was not a person who wanted to do big things.
People prefer to win over the people around them with friendship, so sometimes, even though they can't give them the best, they still let them stay willingly. As the two leaders of the Tiandao Alliance, he and Ling Huxiao have completely different control styles.
, perhaps this is also the source of the turmoil in the Tiandao Alliance.
After Linghu Xiao left, the Baiyao Valley completely returned to peace. However, when Wang Rui went to check it out again, he found that there was no longer the sense of tranquility that he, Chen Qi and Chen Fuzhi had when they practiced and lived here.
Everything has long since become another world and no longer belongs to him.
After staying in Xutian Sect for half a month, Wang Rui officially left and began to travel around. This disappointed many leaders, elders and disciples in the Tiandao Alliance who had high hopes for him. They wholeheartedly wanted to support Wang Rui in regaining the throne.
Although he was the leader of the alliance, it was a pity that he no longer had that ambition.
The mountain gate of Yuantian Sect is far away from Tiandao League, four to five thousand miles away, and it is already close to Icefield Town.
Wang Rui walked alone, not in a hurry, but strolling along the way, sometimes even walking on foot like a mortal. This seemed to be a spiritual practice, and his mood was relaxed.
On this day, he was resting in a market in the north. The market here was not big, just medium-sized. At first glance, at the number of monks, there were about a hundred people living there and hundreds of people coming and going. It seemed relatively deserted.
He was a little tired from traveling for days, so he planned to rest here for the night.
During this period, he had spiritual communication with Minghuang. It was said that He Na had received a letter from Huo Wang. When the boy heard that he was coming to Dongxuanzhou, he was unwilling to do so. Now he seemed to regret it, but he suddenly couldn't come.
After all, the consumption of each activation of the super large teleportation array is quite staggering.
However, there is good news. It seems that Tantai Qing will return to Dongxuanzhou in the near future to serve as the first-class patrol envoy of the continent. At that time, Huo Wang will be able to give him a ride.
As for the rest of the things, it doesn't matter. He Na seems to be still in the novelty period of Dongxuanzhou for the time being, and she is somewhat enjoying it. Several of his disciples and many disciples take great care of them, like family members, so Minghuang
Very satisfied.
After getting this information, Wang Rui could finally do what he wanted to do for the time being, which was simply to relax.
After coming to this world, he rarely had time or opportunity to relax. In the early days, he struggled for survival, and later he had to do his best to deal with the Shadow Society. It was not until after the battle with Tianyi Godman that he left Dongxuan Continent.
After wandering in the other three continents for more than 20 years, he returned to his homeland and had long since resigned as leader of the alliance, so he thought of relaxing.
It's very close to Icefield Town, and it's only a day's journey if you fly with air.
Wang Rui found a shop that served hot meals for mortals, ordered a table of dishes, and planned to have a good meal today.
There are relatively few customers in this shop. After all, there are not many monks who share the same hobbies as Wang Rui.
The owner of the shop is also a monk, but due to a serious injury, his cultivation level has greatly declined. He is currently only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He has long given up on cultivating immortals. He found a female cultivator with the same cultivation level, became a Taoist companion, and gave birth to a son.
As a girl, her life was quite happy.
"Sir, your wine is ready." The boss is a good-looking man, but his back is a bit stooped and he coughs from time to time, which seems to be due to old injuries.
Wang Rui took the wine, motioned to the boss to come down and have a chat, and gave him a low-grade spiritual stone. Although he was wealthy, he would not give out rewards at will, nor would he reveal his wealth easily. A low-grade spiritual stone would be enough.
The boss took it politely and skillfully stuffed it into his storage bag.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist. Looking at how you are dressed, do you think you want to go to Icefield Town?" The boss's surname is Fu, and his last name is Jun.
Wang Rui drank a cup of warm wine and asked curiously: "Icefield Town? What is there in Icefield Town now? I remember that once in sixty years, a treasure hunting battlefield would open, and then it would disappear, right?"
Fu Jun clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist is right. Could it be that you have participated in the treasure hunting battlefield before?"
"No, at that time I was just a qi training disciple, not qualified enough, and afraid of death." Wang Rui said with a smile.
Fu Jun sighed and said: "At that time, there was a treasure hunting battlefield, and our business here in Fangshi was very good, especially during the period before and after the treasure hunting battlefield opened and closed. There could be tens of thousands of monks passing by every day. Even in
Normally, there are far more monks coming and going than now, it’s really a good time.”
Wang Rui continued to drink and eat, but smiled in his heart. After all, only he knew the truth.
"However, it has been a hundred years since the treasure hunting battlefield was closed. In recent years, some incredible things seem to have happened again. Just like the treasure hunting battlefield back then, there would be treasures that occasionally escaped, or a valuable pill.
Or an unknown ancient treasure, or a treasure map located somewhere in Dongxuan Continent. In short, it has gained some popularity in recent years." Fu Jun said mysteriously.
Wang Rui's heart suddenly trembled. He seemed to have caught something, but he couldn't remember it. He couldn't help but ask: "Did you see these with your own eyes?"
Fu Jun shook his head and said: "I heard this too, but it's certainly not groundless. After all, the deception can't last for so long. You can go to the alleys north of Fangshi. There are people setting up stalls there.
There are all kinds of weird things, including some that are said to have come from the treasure hunting battlefield, but you need to identify the authenticity yourself, and losing the spirit stone is your own problem."
Fu Jun stood up and left. Wang Rui thought thoughtfully while eating and decided to go to the north to have a look.
The markets in the north are not as lively as those in the south, but the goods they sell are generally of higher quality. Of course, the prices are also more expensive. Many people even come here just for the miscellaneous treasures. If you find them, you will make money. If you can’t find them, you will lose money.
Accept your bad luck and don't blame others.
Wang Rui was currently wearing a hooded white robe and walking in the north of Fangshi. He found that there were indeed many alleys here, which were relatively hidden. There were always people setting up stalls in them, but most of them looked a little sneaky, which made him
People don't feel safe.
Fangshi will not go out of its way to protect the safety of every monk, but it will take action to prevent large-scale conflicts, which can be regarded as a protective force.
Wang Rui is not afraid of any plot traps at the moment. In Dongxuan Continent, he can basically walk sideways now, so after walking around outside, he found that there was nothing leaking out of the treasure hunting battlefield, even if it was a lie.
Yes, it is probably monopolized by those people in the dark alley.
So, he no longer hesitated, wrapped himself in his robe tightly, and walked into the dark alley.
Sure enough, he felt it as soon as he entered. There were many spiritual consciousnesses falling on him in the darkness. Naturally, they were unable to see Wang Rui's reality. Therefore, these spiritual consciousnesses hidden in the dark seemed to be a little afraid of him, and they all
After leaving, no one came out to provoke.
The first stall is located in a simple shop. There is a fist-sized luminous pearl hanging on each side of the wall. It is of good color and emits clear bright yellow fluorescence. If it is taken to the mortal dynasty, it will sell for a lot of money.
price.
Seeing Wang Rui come in, the owner of the shop did not stand up to greet the guest, but looked at him.
Wang Rui began to browse the treasures on his stall and found that there were quite a variety of items, including weapons, armor, mounts, elixirs, etc., and then some groceries.
The products sold by this person are of good quality and can be called high-quality goods. However, a small part of them are overpriced, and people who don't understand them will easily suffer losses, but overall they are quite conscientious.
Wang Rui naturally doesn't care about his ordinary treasures, but in the grocery business.
But after looking for a while, I didn't find anything worth paying attention to, so I turned around and planned to leave.
"Wait a moment, fellow Taoist." At this moment, the stall owner spoke, but the voice sounded like that of an old woman.
After getting up from the chair, the old woman took a few steps forward with a cane, and then asked in an old voice: "What kind of goods does the guest need? You might as well tell me."
"Oh? That's fine...I heard that in recent years, treasures have occasionally leaked out of the treasure hunting battlefield in Icefield Town. I wonder if you have any here?" Wang Rui asked tentatively.
The old woman seemed taken aback, and she made a slight backward movement. Wang Rui's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the old woman's wrist that was inadvertently exposed. It was white and smooth, and she was definitely not old, or as young as him.
"You... seem to know something, right?" Wang Rui approached her, causing the person to take a step back unconsciously.
"Don't come over here!" A young woman's voice came out, completely opposite to the old woman's voice just now.
Wang Rui pointed at her and said with a smile: "Why don't you pretend to be an old woman?"
"Ah?" The woman immediately touched her throat, realizing that she had just been startled by Wang Rui's rudeness, and revealed her original voice.
"Ahem..." Then, the woman replied in an old voice: "It's really rude and rude. It seems that you don't understand the rules here. This is a black city. Be careful to come in with your life, and leave with your life." After that,
He clapped his hands.
Suddenly, more than a dozen people came out of the darkness around them. They were dressed in a mess, wearing all kinds of clothes, such as monk robes, Taoist robes, battle armor, etc., giving people the feeling of...a ragtag crowd.
However, this is definitely not the first time these people have done this kind of thing. The murderous aura emanating from them is real. Moreover, these people are at the alchemy stage. In this city, they are considered high-level monks.
Wang Rui had previously suppressed his cultivation to the foundation-building realm, so it was no wonder that these people dared to provoke him. I am afraid that even the pill-forming monks would not be immune.
This woman probably set up a stall as a gimmick. By observing and selecting the fat sheep that were worthy of being dealt with, Wang Rui obviously fell into her eyes.
However, before Wang Rui told about the battlefield for the treasure hunt, she did not make an attack, and then asked others to take action. Is there some hidden secret that she didn't know about?
The leader of the dozen or so people was this woman. As soon as these people's eyes were blurred, Wang Rui appeared behind the woman, touched her acupuncture point with a finger, sealed all the movement of her spiritual power, and then pinched her neck with one hand.
, said in a serious tone: "If you take one more step forward, I will break her neck."
Suddenly, the mob looked at everything in front of them in panic and stopped involuntarily. The tone just now made them feel that they might have met a more ruthless person.
"You...what do you want?" the woman couldn't help but ask.
Wang Rui said in a deep voice: "I haven't decided yet, let them withdraw!"
The woman gave the order, but those people were very obedient and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Tell me, I want to know why you have people attack me as soon as I tell you about the treasure hunting battlefield. There must be a reason, right?" Wang Rui let go of her neck, sat on the chair where she was just now, and gently
All the mechanisms on the chair were destroyed, which made the woman feel even more incredible.
The woman knew that she had met an expert, so she immediately opened her hood and revealed her true face.
She has jet black hair, good looks, and a sickly pale skin, which may be due to not seeing the light for many years. What worries Wang Rui most is that this woman's eyes have double pupils, and they are golden, which is extremely rare.
The woman pointed at her eyes and said: "Senior, my eyes became like this because I was deceived by someone. At the beginning, that person came to ask me about the treasure hunting battlefield just like senior did today. As a result, I
I enthusiastically gave him guidance, but was plotted against him, so I hate everyone who came to look for the treasures on the battlefield. I vowed to find the person who harmed me, but I didn't expect that I was blind today. I hope that my predecessors will forgive me."
Wang Rui felt that what this woman said was somewhat true, but there must be something to hide.
"Did you get poisoned or something else?" Wang Rui asked, looking into her eyes.
The woman pointed to her eyes and said: "People with double pupils have a short life span, and they will either have great blessings or great disasters. Ever since my eyes were made like this by that person, I have often seen many strange things in my dreams."
Things made me unable to meditate, not to mention my practice has regressed, and even survival has become a luxury."
"Well..." Wang Rui looked at her eyes and found that her pupils looked ordinary at first, but if you look at them for a long time, you will find that they are very complicated inside, and there seems to be a formation hidden in them.
"Weird!" Wang Rui closed his eyes and asked the woman to stay aside. He analyzed the formation pattern he just saw in her eyes and found that this formation pattern was actually the same as the one he had laid out in the treasure hunting battlefield.
The formations were somewhat similar, and he remembered that formation, but it was set up somewhere.
Unfortunately, the memory was a bit old, and he had experienced the turbulence in the time and space tunnel back then, which made it difficult to recover part of his memory. He clearly felt that he had missed something important.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that the woman was about to sneak away, but Wang Rui sucked her back directly from the air, which made her extremely frustrated.
"What are you going to do after you find that person?" Wang Rui asked.
The woman looked up at Wang Rui and said, "I want to kill him..."
"That's it?" Wang Rui frowned.
"Of course I want him to heal my eyes first and then kill him!" the woman said angrily.
"Do you have a way to find him? You won't be like today, waiting for someone to take the bait, and then ask those three-legged cats to help you?" Wang Rui pointed to the people hiding in the darkness outside.
The woman shook her head and said, "That's not true. After my eyes became like this, my cultivation has regressed a lot and I suffered a lot. In order to protect myself, I pretended to be a cruel old woman."
"How many lives were lost?" Wang Rui continued to ask.
"They only seek wealth and not life. I just used these people to buy me time." The woman replied unconvinced. Wang Rui smiled, but he felt that this woman was not evil-hearted.
"What time?" Wang Rui asked.
The woman thought for a while and replied honestly: "The time to wait for that person to appear again is in the near future, because the moon surge is coming soon."
"Yueyong?" Wang Rui asked puzzledly.
The woman explained: "Senior, it is true that he has just arrived here. I have guessed it before, because even if ordinary monks want to find the treasures that have leaked out, they will not ask so directly, otherwise they will easily get into trouble."
"Well, you are right, but it also depends on personal strength." Wang Rui said disapprovingly.
The woman glanced at him and lowered her head. It was indeed true. Although she had plotted against the other party, she still fell into his hands. It seemed that this man was not an ordinary monk. Could it be that some Yuanying old monster deliberately pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger?
The more you think about it, the more sense it makes.
"The moon surge is a phenomenon that has been inadvertently observed by the monks who have been worried about the battlefield for the past few years. It is related to the phases of the moon. Only during the two days of the new moon will it erupt, forming a rather peculiar moon surge, which will cause the ice field to
At the entrance to the original battlefield in the town, there would be a chance that treasures would overflow, and at that time, the fighting would begin." The woman further explained.
After hearing this, Wang Rui asked curiously: "If there is such a good thing, why haven't the big sects seized it? For example, the Tiandao Alliance and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"
"The gain outweighs the loss. The value of the treasures that appear in Yue Yong is worthless to those big sects. If too much power is used, there will be no corresponding reward at all, let alone super powers like the Tiandao Alliance and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
I don’t like it. The baby is suitable for monks at the core formation stage and foundation-building monks to fight with each other, and even Nascent Soul monks are not interested in it." The woman replied.
Wang Rui then asked some more detailed questions, and then he realized that the treasure hunting battlefield has undergone a lot of changes over the years. It seems that it has become unstable, but it is difficult to explain why the value of the overflowing treasures is not high. Maybe
The changes inside can only be known by entering it.
There were still three days before the next moon surge. Wang Rui decided to go to Icefield Town with this woman to take a look. He always felt that he should go in, but he couldn't remember why, as if he had made a promise to someone.
But I forgot who it was made to.
Three days passed quickly, and the woman walked with Wang Rui. At this moment, she forgot the fear of falling into Wang Rui's hands. After three days, she felt that this person was not one of those murderous people, and maybe she could really use this person to deal with that person.
