"Boy, don't play tricks with me." The gray mist shook and remained silent for a moment. The black stone on Jiang Feng's body began to recede and returned to around his ankles, but it did not completely disappear.
"I don't know the origin of the shadow, but I know that black energy. Was it the black energy that hurt you?"
"Boy, do you know the origin of that black gas?"
"That's right." Jiang Feng put his hand on the storage bag and immediately felt the black stone at his ankle solidify again, "Yuanchu, what's the benefit of saying it?"
"Don't make any conditions with me, your life is in my hands." The voice in the gray mist was cold and unquestionable, "You can choose any one of the magic weapons here."
"Do I also need to bear your words?"
"No, I will help you lift it. This is fair, but your words must be of sufficient value."
"It's a deal!" Under Gray Mist's gaze, Jiang Feng took out a long-necked vial, which was obtained from Mo Qiuquan's collection. He threw the vial in front of him, and the vial jumped and rolled down.
Arriving in front of Hui Wu, Hui Wu's hand, which was like dry firewood, suddenly stretched out its sharp five fingers, grabbed the vial, removed the talisman, opened the vial, and a wisp of black air floated out from it.
Ho!
Heiqi seemed to sense the danger and was about to escape, but was grabbed by Hui Wu and held in his palm. A hissing and corrosive sound suddenly came from Hei Wu's palm.
"Yes, the same feeling. Boy, where do things come from?"
"What is this black energy?"
The reason why Jiang Feng threw the vial was to personally confirm whether the black energy that seriously injured Yuan Chu was "Eclipse". Moreover, he wanted to find out from Yuan Chu what "Eclipse" was, so as to detect the "real eclipse".
The secret of "Spirit Saint". On the premise that he still had information that he had not disclosed, Jiang Feng believed that Yuan Chu would not kill him immediately.
"Knowing this is of no use to you."
The black energy gradually dissolved and dissipated in Gray Mist's palm, and Gray Mist became slightly solidified. "This is a remnant soul condensed by a heaven-level monk with its will. It has a simple consciousness, which is called the 'spiritual soul'
, I never imagined that you would have such an unexpected encounter and be able to get this thing. Where did this thing come from? Is it still there?"
Heavenly monk?
Could it be that the True Spirit Saint is a heaven-level monk who is still dead but not dead? So what he is hiding there has the same ulterior motives as the old Yuanchu thieves?
"Answer me!" Yuan Chu in the gray mist seemed a little impatient.
"I also found a jade slip in the hands of an earth-level monk, but I couldn't understand it." Jiang Feng reached out to the storage bag again. This time, he felt that the black stone under his feet did not solidify again.
When he got up, Yuan Chu was much less wary of himself than he was just now.
His spiritual sense reached into the storage bag, grabbed the jade slip, and with the help of the jade slip, he took out the "frost" beads from the cave in Fuyuan Town at the same time, and suddenly threw them into the gray mist.
An icy and vicious chill suddenly filled the entire Taoist palace.
When the fist-sized "frost" beads encountered the black mist, they began to evaporate violently, like ice cubes falling into fierce oil. They bumped left and right in the gray mist, pulled up and down, and formed a ball of pale breath.
Mixed together with the gray fog, they are like two entangled poisonous snakes, refusing to give in to each other.
The black stone on Jiang Feng's ankle slowly swam upwards. Jiang Feng was startled, thinking that Yuan Chu still had the energy to deal with him while he was distracted. He quickly took out the "phantom" bead and threw it into the entangled aura again.
A ball of purple energy joined the battle group, and soon tore the gray mist into pieces, showing its decline. Gray fog finally stopped fighting and wanted to retreat, but the purple and white energy refused to give up. The purple energy turned into dense
The pocket net shrouded the entire gray fog, while the white air continued to eat away at the gray fog until the gray fog completely dissipated.
The black stone on Jiang Feng's ankle, like all the black stones around it, suddenly faded away and could no longer be gathered in one place. Yuan Chu's remnant soul had been swallowed up by the "spiritual soul" contained in the two strange beads and dissipated in the world.
.
The purple and white air hung in the air, and they gradually merged, no longer the two colors before, turning into a light golden and slightly purple light, heading straight for the blue light portal.
Snapped!
This group of light quickly passed through the portal and disappeared from the field of vision. The portal also quickly disintegrated and dissipated. Then there was a crisp sound of metal breaking, but a round shield like a black stone piece, the size of a palm and the thickness of a thumb, was seen.
The teleportation platform suddenly appeared, and its rough surface had a crack that had just formed that could almost break it into two pieces.
Jiang Feng hurried forward to check, and the exquisite treasure light hit it. The broken one was more like a small breast mirror-like shield, shining with red light.
I have never seen a treasure of such quality, it should be above the magic treasure!
Jiang Feng threw out a stream of spiritual power. The spiritual power soaked into the shield and was absorbed in an instant, like a mud cow entering the sea. Nothing happened. Jiang Feng increased his input, but the shield still did not respond. However, Jiang Feng felt that he seemed to be in contact with the shield.
There is an unusual feeling in this world.
As he thought about it, more than a dozen black stone flakes gathered around Jiang Feng. According to Jiang Feng's wishes, they were sometimes arranged into the character "one" and sometimes into the character "人", which was quite strange.
This is a valuable treasure of the old Yuanchu thief!
After Yuan Chu's death, this important treasure had no owner. However, Jiang Feng's control over this treasure could only be used to control a small amount of black stone pieces. He thought for a while and tried to use his long sword to remove it from the teleportation platform.
He pried it up, but the shield seemed to fit on top and remained motionless.
Can't take it away?
Fortunately, there are still several magical treasures in this Taoist palace. Since Yuan Chu is dead, the treasures naturally belong to him, and he no longer has to worry about his Taoist words. However, those treasures seem to be inferior to the "shield" in front of him.
"Important," after thinking for a moment, the sword in Jiang Feng's hand increased in strength. He was bound to get this treasure.
Done!
Jiang Feng felt a light touch on his hand, and the black shield was finally pried with increasing force. It almost broke and flew up from the teleportation platform. Waves of blue light like water waves appeared on the surface. The light expanded rapidly and penetrated everything.
The obstacles rippled into the distance.
Jiang Feng only heard a rumbling sound, and then saw several boxes, like meteors, smashing the wall above his head, turning into little streams of light, rushing into the shield treasure, and suddenly, the cracks on its surface were filled with
With all kinds of light, the broken marks were repaired a lot.
Rub, my magic weapon!
Jiang Feng was not happy at all. He had known that he should not covet this treasure, but he missed the magic weapons that he could control. Before he could curse out, a green light emerged from the shield again, and the ground of the entire Taoist palace began to glow.
Shaking violently, dozens of raw spirit stones the size of millstones drilled out of the rock and rushed into the small black shield, intending to continue repairing this treasure.
No, this place is going to collapse!
Being pulled continuously by these two waves of power, this temporary Taoist palace, which was already like a rotten tree, seemed to be completely destroyed if it could not last long.
Jiang Feng looked around and quickly grabbed a few storage bags from Zhou Zhenglian's broken corpse. Fortunately, it was covered by the storage bags. Otherwise, this treasure would definitely swallow up all the spiritual things here. His heart was pounding.
In the meantime, he collected his shadow, threw down the treasure that still seemed unable to be taken away, and went straight to the upper level.
"help me……"
Just as he was about to rush out, he heard a forced cry for help from behind him.
"this……"
Jiang Feng looked back and saw that Yan Shujia had collapsed on the ground without the restraints of the black stone. Half of her legs had been damaged by the black stone and she was lying in a pool of blood.
This person's vitality is really tenacious. Jiang Feng thought about what Yan Shujia had introduced to Zhou Zhenglian before, thinking that she might know some ways to get out. Now that the teleportation array has disappeared, maybe she is still useful, so he picked up Yan Shujia.
, rushed towards the entrance.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Donghu County.
As soon as Zhou Xing returned from Luochuan, he summoned Meng Kun in the hastily refurbished meeting hall. This spiritual-level monk with his nostrils pointing upwards had a sensitive status because he belonged to the Hanshan Sect. Therefore, Zhou Xing did not bring him back to Luochuan.
Sichuan did not reward him for his merits, but placed him in his mansion.
"Meng Kun, thank you for your help this time. If you hadn't protected me, I might have been trapped in that shop. It's just that you have a special status. I'm afraid the sect can't praise you this time because of your merits. I hope you can understand.
." Zhou Xing signaled to Meng Kun that there was no need to be too polite, and personally made him a cup of spiritual tea. This kind of treatment was rare among monks who had the opportunity to enter the meeting hall.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Since I asked for the leader, I want to come to Qianshan Sect, so naturally I have to contribute to the sect." Meng Kun was straightforward and did not feel unhappy because he did not receive any commendation. "It's just that you still have to help me find someone."
I have to do something so I can get a salary."
"Oh? That's good. The situation here is much better than that of the Hanshan Sect. If you get a salary as soon as possible, you can start practicing again as soon as possible. Your Dharma is good, and there is still hope for the great path."
"No, I just want to propose marriage as soon as possible. Ma Meixi has been in Luochuan for a long time. If I can buy some land and houses as soon as possible, I can ask the head of the family to marry her as soon as possible."
"hiss……"
Zhou Xing was stunned. He didn't expect Meng Kun to do this because of this. His perception of him changed a lot in an instant. He originally thought that Meng Kun couldn't bear the poverty of the Hanshan Sect and defected to the Qianshan Sect. Now it seems,
It turned out that it was for the love in my heart. This young man had a strange mind.
"When the leader comes back, I will report your contribution to him this time and ask him to decide on your position. Right now, Donghu County also has many things to take care of. You can help me here."
"Master Guard, if it's a general job, I can't do it." Meng Kun said frankly, "I am in Hanshan and have been responsible for secretly monitoring you and Ma Taiji. I am good at this. Is there a similar position available?
"
Surveillance?
Zhou Xing was stunned again. He said that he was secretly monitored when he was in the Hanshan Sect? How come he never felt it? Now that he thinks about it, he still lived in a hazy state during those years, without himself, and now he is so busy every day.
But a fulfilling life cannot be said in the same breath.
Speaking of surveillance, the Chixia Sect secretly intervened in the East Lake Rebellion this time, and they really underestimated these forces lurking in the dark. If the Mirror Division had not detected it in time, and together with the monks from Luo Chuan, they had rushed over in time and quickly killed them.
After the annihilation, there may be more rogue cultivators who take advantage of the situation, and the losses will not be the small number in front of them.
"In this case, I will temporarily assign you to be the 'investigator' here, responsible for secretly monitoring people of unknown origin in the county. After the boss comes back, I will report the matter and set up such duties in the four counties to cooperate with the Mirror Department to Jing Jing
Eliminate hidden dangers.”
Zhou Xing once thought about letting "supervisors" take on this position at the same time, but "supervisors" are not monks, and more importantly, they supervise a group of officials, including himself. They are not dangers lurking among the people. From these points of view,
, this position is still very necessary, and the boss will definitely agree with his suggestion.
When Wang Yi, the deacon of the Rolling Curtain Department, came to Donghu County, Zhou Xing also inquired about the affairs of the three counties. Among Shen Junmao, Li Youde and himself, he proposed the most frequent memorials, and they were often adopted. He became familiar with the position of guard.
A few months later, Zhou Xing plans to position himself as an "adviser", hoping to learn some experience from governing Donghu County, form rules, and feedback to the leader Jiang Feng. This is what he is good at and what he likes.
As for improving people's livelihood and expanding business, he will naturally try his best to do these things, but compared to admonition, he hopes to make progress in this area.
…………
Beyond Stormrage Canyon.
A ball of black smoke suddenly rose into the sky, spreading its skin-like bone wings, and headed straight for a ball of golden light in the distant sky. His speed had reached the extreme, and the strong wind caused by it even diluted the black smoke around him, revealing his blood-red and strong body.
His exposed chest was none other than the Wan Lao Demon who had been waiting outside the valley with Chen Kun.
Snapped!
A folding fan flew out of nowhere and hit him on the waist. Wan Lao Mo staggered, his speed was affected, and he was suspended in mid-air, looking towards the direction where the folding fan came from.
"Who are you?" Wan Lao Mo looked at a red figure gradually condensing in the void.
"Is this golden light related to you?"
The man in red robe did not answer the old demon's question. His blurred face was hidden in his hood, and his thin figure floated upwards, staying at a height where he could overlook the old demon.
"Are you blind? If it has anything to do with me, why should it run away? If it has nothing to do with me, why should I chase it?"
Wan Lao Demon has missed the best opportunity to pursue the golden light, and he is in a very irritable mood. However, the faint evil aura coming from the red-robed man gives him a very dangerous feeling. It seems that he is not suitable to fight with him. However, if he asks himself, can he fight with the earth?
He didn't have the slightest fear in his heart when he fought freely between level 1 or golden elixir monks. Instead, he was a little eager to give it a try.
"Do you want to compete with me?" The man in red robe seemed to have easily detected Wan Lao Mo's thoughts, and the other party's answer confused him a little. Is this person related to the golden light, or is it unrelated?
"Hmm? The technique of 'listening to words and analyzing one's mind'?"
"It's a friendly opinion. Since the golden light has nothing to do with you, you can leave." The man in red robe took back the folding fan after circling for a long time and found an obvious crack on it. He thought to himself that this person in front of him is not a person.
He misjudged the character who could be manipulated at will, but he believed that he had a profound background and was not afraid of ordinary monks, so he said calmly: "As for you wanting to compete with me, I refuse."
"Let me think about it, you are a human being, you act arrogantly and boldly, and you wear a 'Luo Hong embroidered robe'. So, who are you, Wei Lanqiu?" Wan Laomo asked.
"Who are you?" Hearing Wan Laomo mention "Wei Lanqiu", the man in red robe was obviously surprised. Smoke filled his blurred face, and his spiritual power was released, as if he had murderous intentions.
"Haha, it doesn't matter who I am. Your random desire to kill has confirmed my suspicion that you are from the 'Nine Old Men'. Am I right?"
Before Wan Lao Mo waited for the other party's answer, he continued, "I have a message for Wei Lanqiu. Qing Yi is dead. I don't have to worry about the past anymore, but I want to know the cause of her death. I will make an appointment with her in fifteen days."
, of course she knows where I am." He trembled, and the black mist surrounded him again, flying in the direction he came from.
"Don't care anymore? Fifteen days later? You'll know naturally?"
The thin man in red robe silently recited these dozen words twice, but couldn't think of anything in his mind. Since someone wants to give the master a message, he should do so. However, this person is very strange. Since he has nothing to do with Master Wei Lan,
Qiu had some connections and mentioned a woman's name "Qing Yi". I think the master would know who he was.
After stopping this suspicious guy, he also missed the golden light. Stormrage Canyon and his party got nothing. I don’t know if those old men are satisfied with the result, but I guess with this person’s joints, the master is probably
Will speak for myself.
It's time to go back.
His figure gradually dissipated, and Luo Hong's embroidered robe disappeared together, as if he had never passed.
…………
Outside the collapsed Yuanchu Dao Palace.
"How to leave? Have you found a way?" Jiang Feng found the spiritual spring again among the scattered ruins, took some water and poured it on Yan Shujia's face, revealing her bright red and delicate face.
"Can you...can you get me out?"
Jiang Feng didn't expect to receive the same answer.
