Qin Luo was suddenly startled when he heard the voice coming from close by.
You must know that since he started practicing, his sensitivity is still very strong.
Almost no one can deceive someone into getting within three feet of him.
When he was the lord of Dan City, he encountered powerful assassins.
But before the assassin could take action, he noticed the man's presence.
But he didn't call for guards at that time, he just took out the assassin with his sword.
Since that time, he has never encountered an assassin again, and it is said that his name was listed at number 32 on the "Taboo List of Unnecessary Assassination".
But now someone actually managed to get close to me, and even spoke out, letting me know that he was coming.
If this person wants to kill himself.
Just stand behind and stab him silently.
wrong.
If such a master wanted to kill him, he would probably have thousands of ways to kill him, and he would be hard-pressed to defend himself.
However, Qin Luo didn't seem to show any hostility when listening to this man's words.
So he turned sideways, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "I am Qin Luo. I have offended you by coming uninvited this time."
After finishing speaking, he looked up in front of him.
A moment.
He froze again.
The person in front of him was not the Taoist priest he had imagined, but a boy with an immature face.
But Qin Luo didn't look down on this man just because of his immature appearance.
After all, the fact that he came to him quietly is undoubtedly the best proof of his strength.
"It doesn't matter. You were disturbed by Xiaobai and brought here. We have disturbed you." The boy waved his hands and smiled, "By the way, the master named me Qiu'an. You
You can also call me that."
noob?
After Qin Luo heard this title, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He looked at the big swamp above his head.
The dragon, full of oppression and ferocity, lay across the water.
It's quite white, but it's so small that I don't know how to tell.
Qin Luo touched his nose and asked softly: "Little friend Qiu'an, can I ask to see your respected master?"
While waiting for a reply, he still felt a rare sense of nervousness in his heart.
He was traveling all over the world in order to find a technique that would allow him to go further.
But now that he was actually facing an immortal cultivator who had great supernatural powers and could raise dragons as his guards, he naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"My master passed away thirty years ago." But Qiu An shook his head.
Seeing Qin Luo's eyes slightly showing disappointment, he added: "But you can go see my uncle. Everything my master knows, my uncle also knows."
"Then please let me lead the way, little friend." Qin Luo said, cupping his hands.
At the same time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I was pushed to the limit by Qiu An's words just now, and I felt like my CPU was almost burning up.
"It's okay. When I take you there, can you tell me about the outside world?" Qiu An asked curiously.
"Of course." Qin Luo nodded and asked, "Don't you go out often, little friend Qiu'an?"
After hearing his question and getting a positive answer from Qin Luo, Qiu An's expectant eyes dimmed a little.
"Yes, Master said that if you go out, you will meet bad people and die, so I have stayed in this sect for fifty years without even taking a look at the outside world.
I want to learn about the outside world only by accidentally entering the formation, and then being brought to the sect by Xiaobai to hear about it.
And outside cultivators like you are even rarer to see. The only one that impressed me deeply was an old man who said he wanted to travel around the world to find people who are destined to pass on the immortal way. He was very knowledgeable and told me many new things.
It's just that more of the people who were brought to the sect were fishermen from the edge of Daze. They have been by the lake all their lives, and the only things they can talk to me about are fishing, taxes, etc., which are not new at all."
Qiu An obviously rarely talks to people on weekdays, so after talking to Qin Luo, he was obviously a little excited and couldn't hold back his words, so he started chattering.
But Qin Luo didn't interrupt him and kept listening attentively.
Although there is a lot of nonsense in Qiu'an, useful information can be easily extracted with a little analysis.
Qiu'an is at least over fifty years old, much older than he is now, but he still looks like a boy. At least he can change his appearance and height at will, which Qin Luo is far from being able to do now.
There is also the attitude of the Qingyin sect, which seems to be escaping from the world and practicing cultivation.
The meaning of Qiu An's words "Master will die if he speaks out" is not very clear, but it does reveal what they are afraid of.
Furthermore, he was sure that the spectacle above his head was the Qingyin Sect's sect-protecting formation.
After clarifying his thoughts, various speculations took shape in Qin Luo's mind.
And he didn't forget to share with Qiu An the anecdotes from outside.
Although he has not traveled to Kyushu, he has been out for several years, seen the world, and knows a lot of interesting things.
"... It is said that there is a canyon at the junction of Chuzhou and Lingzhou. It often glows with red light at night and can be seen for miles around. People nearby call it 'Muchi Gorge'.
Then I traveled there and heard various rumors. Some said there was an active volcano there that erupted once a night, and some said there was a large red crystal mine there.
So my curiosity was aroused at that time, so I explored Muchi Gorge at night."
Qiu An looked excited at this time and asked eagerly: "Then what? Those rumors are unreliable at first glance. Brother Luo must have found the real reason, right?"
Talking and telling stories along the way, the relationship between the two instantly became much closer. Qiu An already called Qin Luo "brother Luo".
Qin Luo also noticed that Qiu'an was even slightly older than himself, but his mind was still that of a teenager.
"Of course." Qin Luo continued without hesitation, "I performed a breath-holding technique that night and looked for a place with red light. Then I found a pool where the red light was the brightest, like fire.
I held my breath and approached, and saw two fairy grasses on both sides of the pond.
One plant is extremely red, and the dazzling red light is emitted by it, while the other plant is full of ice and darkness, freezing half of the entire pool surface. The red light shines on it and is reflected up to the sky, so there is
The scene that covered the red clouds for miles."
Hearing Qin Luo's words, Qiu An said "Yeah", then frowned and thought about it for a while, then said: "These two fairy grasses seem to be Red Flame Grass and Youbinglan. Their attributes are completely opposite. I didn't expect that they actually grow on the same ground."
It’s one place that creates such a wonder.”
"By the way, did Brother Luo pick these two fairy grasses?" Qiu An raised his head and continued to ask.
Qin Luo shook his head and said, "No, as soon as I got close to them, they noticed my presence and ran away."
"Hey, it seems that they have cultivated spiritual immortal grass for thousands of years, so it's no wonder that they have created such a wonder and haven't picked it up yet." Qiu An sighed.
"I'm lucky to have gained it, but I don't have to regret it to lose my life. Let me continue to tell you another story. Legend has it that there is a temple called 'Lanruo Temple'..."
Qin Luo changed the subject and directed Qiu An's interest elsewhere.
However, the story he told changed to Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, but he silently recorded the names of the two fairy grasses in his heart.
Red flame grass, and Youbinglan.
Now that he knows the specific names, it will be easier to check their specific medicinal effects.
When you go to get the medicine in your next life, you can make the most of it.
The story of "Mu Chi Gorge" that he just told Qiu An, the time, place, and even the environment in which the elixir grew were almost all fictional.
The real situation is that he found these two medicinal plants next to a small cave in a cave. The performance was similar to what he told, except that the two elixirs were not old enough, and the red light only illuminated the cave for dozens of meters.
Qin Luo, on the other hand, told the story in a slightly exaggerated way because he wanted to get information about the two elixirs from Qiu An.
Obviously, his plan is still in place.
As for the 80% fictional content in the story, Qin Luo started from a cautious point of view.
After all, even though the two elixirs were still young, I still planned to wait until the next life to dig them up.
The two of them walked together.
Halfway through Qin Luo's story about Lanruo Temple to Qiu'an, Yan Chixia arrived at the bottom of a three-story attic while fighting her grandma.
Qiu An stopped and turned around and said: "My uncle should be reading on the top floor. He has a dull temper, so I won't send you up there. If you are left there drinking tea, then I will sit down in the big room."
long time."
After saying that, he raised his head and shouted towards the attic: "Uncle Bai, a guest is here, please make tea to entertain them!"
After he finished speaking, the wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the attic swung three times, making a crisp sound.
"My uncle knows, just push the door open and go up." Qiu An nodded to Qin Luo and said, "By the way, after you come out, I will continue to come to you to listen to this story. This grandma will definitely not be Yan Chixia's opponent.
.”
"My guess is absolutely correct." Qin Luo said with a slight smile.
Qiu An took two steps, then turned back and said, "My uncle may test you, but of course, there will be no danger."
After hearing this, Qin Luo said seriously: "Thank you for reminding me."
Then he clasped his hands and said goodbye to Qiu'an, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked into the attic.
It may be chance or misfortune that he came to meet this Qingyin sect's talker, maybe it was just to see how he would behave next.
When Qin Luo walked to the corridor, a dark and simple bronze mirror hung in the middle of the stairs, facing him diagonally.
After he climbed the steps step by step, he looked in front of him and found that he was still standing on the first step of the stairs in the mirror.
The next second.
The mirror grew bigger and bigger in his eyes until it suddenly shattered.
…
Attic top.
At this time, Qiu'an looked slightly worried and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Bai, I think Brother Luo is a good person, so there is no need to test him with the Mirror."
Without raising his head, Bai Zheng picked up the teapot and slowly made tea for himself.
"Xiao An, you have to know that there should no longer be monks like us in the outside world, and although this person's cultivation is only Qi training, he is not on the same path as that group of people.
It's just that we don't know the outside information. If this person is pretending, it will be a disaster for our sect.
Therefore, using the Heart-Inquiry Mirror is the best verification method. If he has evil thoughts, even if we don't kill him, we can't let him go out and expose us. If he has no malicious intentions, then I will give him an opportunity later.
with him as compensation.
After all, if there are orthodox monks like us in the outside world at this time, I am afraid that they must have great luck to survive. And if he can find us and cause causal involvement, then I will form a good relationship with him.
.”
Qiu An looked hesitantly and thought about it for a while, but still stepped back half a step respectfully: "What Uncle Bai said is absolutely true."
Bai Zheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he raised his hand and waved, creating an afterimage in the air. It was Qin Luo's experience in the mirror.
…
"Congratulations on passing my assessment. I wonder why little friend Qin came to visit our sect this time?" Bai Zheng sat in the room and looked at Qin Luo with a calm expression.
Qin Luogong cupped his hands and said, "I am walking around the world just to seek immortality. I accidentally entered the formation of your sect to protect your sect. Please forgive me."
"Our sect is declining. Xiao An and I are just qi practitioners. Xiao An can maintain his virginity because he practices special exercises. But when it comes to cultivation, we really have nothing to teach you. Please come back."
Bai Zheng shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Qin Luo had a thought in his mind and realized that the aura of the man in front of him was leaking out. He was actually almost the same as himself. He was also at the ninth level of Qi training.
Qiu An, who was standing next to him, nodded slightly to himself at this moment, and the aura revealed was only the sixth level of Qi training.
And this person seemed to have politely refused to teach him the foundation-building method...
If he suddenly attacked now, relying on his experience in killing bandits and catching thieves over the years, he seemed to be able to attack and seriously injure this person first.
After that, he dealt with Qiu An, who was at the sixth level of Qi training, with ease.
Within a stick of incense, Qin Luo was sure to deal with the two people in front of him.
When the time comes, he will kill a lot here, then enter the Sutra Pavilion, where he will memorize the methods of subsequent cultivation. Even if the dragon is guarding him and cannot get out, at worst he will start the next life again.
Qin Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his whole body was in a state of preparation.
The next second.
He resisted the urge to create a magic spell and throw a fireball, and said silently in his mind: "System, check the specific time until the game starts."
[There are still 12:31:07 on July 8, 99968 before the game officially starts.]
Qin Luo waited for a few breaths and continued to look at the system display. He found that the time had not changed at all, and instantly realized that he was still in the illusion and had not escaped.
So he quickly extinguished his desire to take action.
Just tell me why I had such impulsive thoughts just now.
Moreover, I had clearly made a judgment on Qiu'an's strength before, far exceeding his own.
But just now, this part of the thinking in his mind seemed to have been selectively blocked.
Something is so wrong.
I'm afraid this is due to the influence of the mirror.
After all, when he faced political opponents in Dancheng's political arena, he would not deal with them with deadly force. Basically, he would only force the opponent to retire and return home, and would no longer pose a threat to himself and the Qin family.
Usually, the only people he kills are those bandits and strongmen who bear the blood debt of human life.
He and Qiu An had even had a good conversation before. Although he wanted to be promoted to foundation building, but if he couldn't succeed in this life, he could still be promoted in the next life. He couldn't kill innocent people for the sake of his skills.
Qin Luo took a deep breath.
"Since your Excellency has said so, I won't bother you. Please come and see me out later. I still have half of the story I haven't finished telling you."
After saying that, Qin Luo stood up, walked towards the stairs without looking back, and went down from the top floor of the attic.
When he walked to the first floor of the second floor, the place where the mirror was originally hung was empty.
moment.
The picture in front of Qin Luo's eyes was broken into small pieces.
And as if it was just a blink of an eye, the mirror appeared in front of him again, but it didn't have the depth it had before. This chapter has been completed!
