Xiao Mingbao's condition is very bad. According to the phase separation technique, the lingering black air has dissolved most of the coral dharma. If he is not rescued in time, he may die next year. However, this person is considered lucky. There must be something strange about being able to survive being penetrated by black gas, in addition to relying on family elixirs to survive. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but think of Jiang Kaiji mentioned by Shen Junmao, the governor of Dayi County. Could it be that this person is the same as Xiao Mingbao? The Dharma's appearance was abnormally eroded and he didn't die? Then he got a strange encounter, was instigated by the True Spirit Saint, and went to the Northern Wilderness?
No, thinking about the "shadow" that has been with me for many years, maybe I am a shining example of "surviving and having adventures", but the time when I got the "shadow" was earlier.
If Xiao Mingbao could get through it, it might be another opportunity, but obviously, he couldn't.
Jiang Feng carefully arranged the two of them, asked Jiang Hai to take care of them, and went out to invite Qiu Nanjia alone, but met An Sinian who was helping to manage the shop.
"Brother Jiang," his title changed, he showed a delicate and philistine smile, and gave a thumbs up, "I thought that by borrowing your light, I have gained a lot of support from the Xiao family, but you are different. You want to do something The son-in-law of the Xiao family, I have to trouble you to take care of him more from now on!"
"you misunderstood."
"Everywhere, I know everything about this. I know how to keep a low profile. This one is much better than the girl from the Shangguan family. Moreover, I heard that the girl from the Shangguan family has already confirmed the wedding date with the Sixth Young Master of the Chu family. You have to be careful these days. One thing, it’s better not to provoke him.”
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Jiang Feng didn't want to tangle with him too much. He explained too much, which only increased the attention. Helping Xiao Mingbao solve the problem of Dharma was a confidential matter. If Qiu Nanjia hadn't asked not to enter Xiao's house, Jiang Feng would have chosen Xiao, who was more concealed. The family was handling the matter. Thinking of this juncture, they gave Ansnian an extra instruction, "You must keep the matter of my coming here a secret for me."
"That's natural! I'll make the arrangements. I won't arrange for anyone to move in around your room today."
An Si Nian was obviously mistaken. He sent Jiang Feng out with a smile and watched him go away before sighing a few words to himself. People can't be compared with each other. It's too early to marry a wife. He has the guts to make a meal as soon as possible. It's the kingly way and so on.
…………
Jincheng Pai, Lelin City, Konger Old Street, Jingwen Pavilion Shop.
Qiu Zhenzhen was taking care of the mundane affairs, handling the small amount of accounts in the same manner, but suddenly he heard a noise. Just as he was about to go out to check, the clerk Li Xianzhu welcomed three guests in.
The leader is a woman with a thin body, short hair, and fairly well-dressed clothes. Behind her are two men wearing coarse cloth. The three of them are not dressed like normal guests, but more like they are here to visit.
"Shopkeeper, this is the new shopkeeper of the "Xiangtanju" on the corner of the street. He just arrived the day before yesterday and today he came here specifically to visit the neighbors."
oh?
Qiu Zhenzhen really knows this etiquette. When she came here, she brought a bunch of small gifts and visited all the shops on this street one by one. Now, as the "old man" here, it is her turn to be visited. PC::/
"Harmony brings wealth!" Qiu Zhenzhen followed the usual ritual and said a high-sounding cliché. Seeing that the other person was a woman, she held the other person's hand. It was a little cold. She glanced secretly and saw that it was the hand of a monk.
"peace brings money!"
The other party was prepared and signaled with his eyes to the clerk behind him, asking him to present a small and beautifully wrapped gift, "My sister's name is Lin Qingwan. From now on, I will live in Xiangtan. I hope that my sister will take care of the business."
"
"No, no, we should help each other. My surname is Hu, and I am older than you. From now on, you can just call me Sister Jinxiu." Qiu Zhenzhen let go of the other person's hand, pretending to look at the other person with appreciation, and at the same time, he put on his fake
When her name was revealed, she could tell from the extremely bright eyes of the other party that the other party was also lying. It seemed that he was a person with a good background.
The two of them were polite again. Qiu Zhenzhen sent Lin Qingwan out of the store with a smile. When he saw her entering another store, he called Li Xianzhu and Zhou Daxiang, "You two, try not to go there when you go to find out the news."
this home."
"Is there a problem?" This was not the first time the two of them were told this, and they knew that Qiu Zhenzhen seemed to have noticed something unusual.
"That look doesn't look like that of a businessman. The eyes of a businessman should be gold, silver and spiritual stones. Look like me." Qiu Zhenzhen blinked, his eyes became slightly cloudy, but he looked more kind.
"Shopkeeper, please stop acting." Zhou Daxiang couldn't help but laugh, "You are not the same as the shopkeepers of those stores. You are still far behind. How can I put it? You lack a trace of disgust for the poor."
"You are the only one who knows better!"
Qiu Zhenzhen glared at him, "Remember what I said, don't provoke her yet, but you can secretly keep an eye on the clerks in her shop to see what they do, including what property they handle."
After dismissing the two of them, Qiu Zhenzhen became even more upset. He was making calculations casually, thinking about the origin of the other party. Did Lin Qing come here late for the same purpose as himself? It is said that he added a potential opponent to gather information.
The danger has also increased, and he must ask Jiang Feng to increase the money.
…………
Zhenwucheng, Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
As soon as Zuo Shiqiu Nanjia entered the guest room that Jiang Feng had booked, she met Xiao Mingzhen's scrutinizing gaze. In order to keep a low profile, Qiu Nanjia used a special magic weapon to cover up her cultivation when traveling. This made her
He looks more like a mid-level Xuan-level monk.
The two women with good looks and their own merits looked at each other, thinking about each other's origins, until Xiao Mingzhen spoke first, "Are you Yan Shujia?"
Um?
Jiang Feng, who was standing behind Qiu Nanjia, was speechless. Due to Qiu Nanjia's request, he could not introduce him to Xiao Mingzhen. For the safety of both parties, he did not intend to introduce Xiao Mingzhen to Qiu Nanjia, but he did not expect that.
What's interesting is how Xiao Mingzhen said Yan Shujia's name.
In this way, she just took the opportunity to touch him and what she heard turned out to be Yan Shujia's lingering thoughts. He didn't know if the secret of the ancient treasure was also spied on by her at the same time. As his thoughts flew around, he realized that it was still...
We have to resolve the immediate embarrassment first.
Qiu Nanjia knew Yan Shujia, a female golden elixir cultivator from the Qi Kingdom. Although Jiang Feng knew that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce did not take the formal route into Stormrage Canyon, they must have known every person on the list since they had crossed paths with many cultivators in the valley.
Personally, Jiang Feng knew from Qiu Nanjia's suspicious and scrutinizing look when she turned her head that she had also misunderstood.
"Well, you made a mistake." Since it was not convenient to reveal the identity of any party, Jiang Feng could only explain to Xiao Mingzhen first, "This is the fellow Taoist I invited to help."
"Oh, do you have so many female Taoist friends who are willing to help you for free?" Qiu Nanjia concealed her cultivation, so Xiao Mingzhen was not afraid, "I underestimated you." She deliberately used the two words "free"
The word was emphasized, a little sourly, and the passage was opened, allowing the two of them to enter the room.
"What's going on with you and Yan Shujia?" Before Jiang Feng could explain clearly, Qiu Nanjia also looked at Jiang Feng curiously. This usually cold woman showed a gossipy look for the first time.
"It's nothing, I just mentioned it occasionally. I talked about some things in the canyon before, and I just mentioned it in passing." Jiang Feng made nonsense, for fear of exposing his fault. Fortunately, Qiu Nanjia was not Yu Xiaoman, otherwise this clue would be enough.
The other party tried to find out the truth.
"Canyon?" Xiao Mingzhen's eyes lit up, "By the way, I heard that you went to the canyon. Tell me about it later." Xiao Mingzhen deliberately refused to cooperate and exposed Jiang Feng's lies on the spot. Then his eyes lit up and he was quite hostile.
He looked at Qiu Nanjia, "The canyon ruins you went to with her?"
"Forehead……"
Jiang Feng was at a loss for words again. To say that they went together, the two of them were indeed not together. To say that they did not go together, they did meet in the valley and got acquainted with each other. In short, no matter how he answered, it was all a trap. He really wanted to say, "It's not you."
"As you understand", but suddenly realized that it would lead to more topics.
Thinking of this, he quickly stopped Qiu Nanjia who wanted to continue gossiping and also said something. "Today, let's do business first. Time is limited. It is important to save people." He quickly took out the sealed beast spirit from his storage bag.
He handed the jade pill to Qiu Nanjia and signaled her to take action quickly. If the two of them were allowed to continue chatting like this, Jiang Feng thought it would be difficult to keep Yan Shujia's secret without introducing the identities of both parties.
It is good for him that the secret of his acquaintance with Yan Shujia is exposed, but for Yan Shujia, if it is related to a demon man, once it spreads to Qi State, although the probability is not high, but sometimes the circle of monks is very small, it will definitely happen
It caused her a lot of trouble.
The more important problem is that neither of them has the means to hide their scheming and cannot withstand soul exploration. When the time comes, the secret of the ancient treasure Tower of Eternity may be discovered, which will lead to unstoppable risks.
"Okay!" Qiu Nanjia glanced at Jiang Feng thoughtfully, "You all go out."
"this……"
Xiao Mingzhen was a little hesitant. He was the guarantor of the Xiao family. If something happened to Xiao Mingbao along the way, he might be in a lot of trouble.
"Believe her."
At this point, Jiang Feng can only trust Qiu Nanjia. Although he has not had much contact with him, this person likes to speak openly in everything and should not play any tricks.
Um?
"To be able to trust you so much, you are not ordinary fellow Taoists, right?" As soon as he left the room, Xiao Mingzhen's eyes widened, and the way he looked at Jiang Feng also changed. His hands involuntarily wanted to grab Jiang Feng. The movements of the two
There was a bit of ambiguity, so Jiang Hai, who was waiting on the side, pretended to be in pain in his stomach and carefully excused himself, leaving space for the two of them in time.
Jiang Feng was shocked.
He quickly took a few steps back and said, "Just ordinary friends who have some cooperation with our Qianshan Sect." Jiang Feng still explained a little more, otherwise Xiao Mingzhen, who was overly curious, might really catch something unusual if he probed him again.
The secret. He vaguely guessed that Xiao Mingzhen had not found out about the ancient treasure Eternal Tower. Otherwise, what she was interested in now would not be Yan Shujia, but the ancient treasure.
Knowing the secret of the ancient treasure is itself a risk. For Xiao Mingzhen, who relied on the power of her family to advance to the Xuan level, she must have lacked experience in dealing with it, so it is better not to know. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng became even more concerned about the distance between herself and Xiao Mingzhen.
Notice that Xiao Ming really frowned when he was so angry.
"Come here or I won't lend you the spirit stone." Without the maid, she was back to her true self today.
"I'm doing this for your own good."
"Don't worry, I have a way to avoid searching for souls." As soon as she finished speaking, a light-colored crystal halo appeared on her body. The halo flashed several times and then disappeared.
"You shouldn't tell me these secrets." Although Jiang Feng was touched by Xiao Ming's straightforwardness, he still wanted to warn her, "The fewer people who know about this magical method, the better."
"Humph, of course I know. Unlike some people." Xiao Mingzhen was a bit arrogant, "It's just a pity that in order to keep this secret, I have to pretend that I haven't learned the skills yet and pay attention to the news about the skill books.
."
"Have you finished studying?"
"yes."
Xiao Mingzhen leaned against the wall, folded his arms, and sighed, "Tianluo Fengqingwu occupied a skill, so I only had one skill slot left, so I learned a metal spell to keep me close to me.
I can't count on someone to protect me all the time in the chaos, so I still need some means. Adding the original 'Soul-Warming Touch' skill and the 'Mindless' skill you see, I have already learned four skills.
But these two skills cannot be exposed at will, so this matter is very troublesome." At this point, she felt slightly depressed.
"Promoting to the prefectural level as early as possible is also a solution." Jiang Feng comforted, and immediately felt that this suggestion was not reliable. Although Xiao Mingzhen's Dharma Appearance "Guluo Bronze Bell" was not bad, he was not good at fighting. He wanted to pass
It is also difficult to gain experience by fighting with others. With the support of family resources, it is not difficult to advance to the Xuan level, but later on, when a large amount of combat experience and understanding are required, it becomes even more difficult.
Of course, Jiang Feng is not without options. The Horcrux in his hand can just solve Xiao Mingzhen's problem. The gold and jade earrings were obtained from Xiao Mingzhen and have never been returned.
However, is it safe for Xiao Mingzhen to hold such a secret Horcrux? Considering that she now has the white halo-like "mindless" skill, she can avoid being probed by the soul. From this point of view, she
If you don't want to take the initiative to reveal secrets, you can be safe.
It's just that the gold and jade earrings are an auxiliary 'Bagua Xiaoling Array'. In terms of its usefulness, the turquoise necklace with the 'Silver Feather Arrow' is more reliable. The problem is that the turquoise necklace belongs to Yu Xiaoman, which is a bit embarrassing.
.
In this dilemma, I heard Xiao Mingzhen continue to complain, "I know I need experience, but after learning the 'Tian Luo Feng Qing Wu', the family resources will be more, but I can't leave Li Zong easily, and the monks will have no chance of dispatching battle formations."
Not much. Therefore, I have fallen behind in this aspect." Speaking of this, she immediately thought of Xiao Mingshan, who could freely go to various sects to practice. Recently, her cultivation seemed to have become more advanced, and her eyes couldn't help but become darker.
"There are other ways."
"Yes, maybe, who knows?" Xiao Mingzhen suddenly put her hand on Jiang Feng's arm, and unknowingly, she had already approached Jiang Feng again during her complaint.
"you"
"Don't worry, I didn't use any skills this time to scare you, haha!" Xiao Mingzhen's face suddenly brightened and she laughed happily. The fun instantly dispelled the haze in her heart.
No, how can I admit defeat and lose to Xiao Mingshan! A stubborn cry rang out in her heart, and a hopeful look appeared in her eyes again. The opportunity to surpass the opponent appeared in her mind, and she let go of Jiang Feng, who was still struggling quietly.
"I need your help with something. If you can help me, I can consider lending you sixty third-level spiritual stones without your mortgage."
