In the summer, the Hanshan Sword Sect officially announced the closure of the mountain, recalled its disciples who had traveled abroad, and refused guests to visit.
This news did not cause too much disturbance, as everyone in the world of practice knows that after Hanshan experienced the "change in Jingsi Valley", his vitality was severely damaged and he was in urgent need of recuperation. From an outsider's point of view, Hanshan lost the real person Tai Heng, a strong man in the divine transformation realm, and the head of the Mahayana realm was seriously injured, leaving only a few peak masters and elders to support the portal.
Beishan and Nanhu, one is changing and another is growing, and Mingyue Lake is like the sun, becoming the first sect in the world.
At the junction of north and south, some small and medium-sized sect families have announced that they will cut off contact with Hanshan and instead rely on Mingyue Lake. Egret City is one of them.
The life of Yu Qishu, the abandoned son of the city owner, was not affected by this. He still went to bed early and got up early to take care of Changchun Peak seriously.
Most of the Hanshan disciples are like him, full and busy, and they don't have time to comment on unexpected people. After the elders of Taishang left, the disciples of Hanshan shared the enemy and became more united.
First, the disciples received new Taoist scriptures and sword manuals in Lunfa Hall, and were busy learning and communicating. Second, the real person in charge announced that during the closure of the mountain, every other month, a competition will be held in Yanjianping, and the prizes will be generous. There are prizes for the former and those who make the most progress.
The new teaching materials for the disciples were compiled by Ji Xiao, the idea of Dabi was proposed by Meng Xueli, and the prizes were from Jianzun's private library, all of which were high-grade magic tools, medicinal pills, talismans and other items.
It is said to be closed to the outside world, but the interior of Hanshan is full of vitality.
…
On the third day of the seventh lunar month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to travel far. It rained heavily in Hanmen City, washing away the dust and dirt.
Meng Xueli carried a napping mirage in his sleeve, and Ji Xiao tied a storage bag around his waist, filled with ten pounds of snacks. The two dressed up as loose cultivators and joined Ruan Hui and Bi You.
Summer thunderstorms are fast, lightning and thunder. In the wind and rain, an unremarkable carriage drove out of the cold gate city. The driver was an immature young man in a gray robe and a big hat to block out half of his small face.
There is a space array in the carriage, which is spacious and elegantly furnished, with soft cushions, pillows and small tables.
Qian Yuzhi leaned against the wall of the car, shook the folding fan lightly, and gave the pair of Taoists a ride: "No way, the flying instruments are too conspicuous. Hanmen City seems to be peaceful, but in fact there are many people, some people have nothing to do when they are idle. , if you don't practice well, you will follow around. You go out of the city for 300 miles, then change your flying instruments, go to the boundary of the world, pass through the wind barrier, and reach the land outside the world... "
Having said this, he himself felt very troublesome, so he couldn't help turning to Ji Xiao: "I remember, you used to have a teleportation formation in the secret realm of Vast Ocean, which leads directly to the 'outside the world'?"
Ji Xiao was peeling pine nuts for Meng Xueli: "It used to be true."
Farewell on a rainy day, it is inevitable to give birth to a touch of sentimentality. Qian Yuzhi sighed:
"Unfortunately, the secret realm was bombed by you. You didn't make much money for the bombing, do you know it yourself?"
Ji Xiao really didn't know, so he kept silent, handed a handful of pine nuts to Meng Xueli, and signaled to the little Taoist companion to eat quickly.
Qian Yuzhi pulled Meng Xueli with a kind smile: "Xueli, you are also half the owner of 'Hengtong Juyuan'. Please take care of you on this journey. Brother Ji Xiao is impatient with trivial matters, so I have to ask you. ."
Meng Xueli thought, Qian Yuzhi's boss is quite human, like a big tree, holding up a huge canopy and protecting the little flowers and grass under his feet. He gave half-demon and half-demon a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Meng Xueli immediately patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry! I don't need to tell you, I will take good care of them, I will definitely protect Bi You and Ruan Hui, and feed them so smooth!"
Qian Yuzhi: "I mean, you should lose less goods on the road, and make more money this time."
Meng Xueli: "...Oh."
Qian Yuzhi: "What's your expression? I'm doing business, not opening a shantang. Laughing and laughing, troubles and troubles, the money that should be earned must be earned!"
The demon world is rich in minerals, but the demon clan is not good at refining weapons, and the rarest ores are only stones. He secretly brought the ore from the demon realm to the human realm, sold it to the refiners to cast it into pieces, took away the world's fancy clothes, beautiful utensils, and fine wine, and sold it to the great demon who likes to enjoy. The big demon prides itself on being powerful, and it is not uncommon to use weapons. The small magic weapon in the human world can be sold to the little demon for self-defense. One by one, the profits are extremely high.
Meng Xueli was a little puzzled: "You earn so much money, why don't you build a teleportation array in the back room of the head office to go straight to the outside world. It's so convenient and trouble-free."
With the spirit stone reserves of "Hengtong Juyuan", it is completely possible to support a long-distance teleportation array. Stewards and guys who work in secret can pass through the Gangfeng Barrier less than once, and the risk should be less.
Qian Yuzhi looked at him with the eyes of "why not eat minced meat": "The teleportation formation is the privilege of the strong. If the formation is fixed in one place, if someone knows the specific location, they can set up traps in the "outside the world" and wait for the rabbits , In the past, one caught one, and in the past one nest caught one nest. If the formation falls into the hands of others, they will follow the vine and hit the door."
"So it is." Meng Xueli thought of Ruan Hui's rabbit ears, "Stand by and wait for the rabbit, this word is really accurate."
He pulled Jixiao's sleeves: "Why are you at the entrance of the Vast Sea Secret Realm, you can set up a random teleportation array to let the participating disciples travel to different locations in the secret realm?"
Qian Yuzhi replied: "Because that is his secret realm, he controls the rules of space. To put it simply, he is stronger."
Ji Xiao nodded: "That's right."
Qian Yuzhi smiled and said: "Ji Xiao, Senior Brother Ji Xiao, how are you now? When will you recover your supernatural powers, can you help Junior Brother solve this problem?"
Ji Xiao: "After half a year, you can give it a try."
Qian Yuzhi was satisfied. He understands that Ji Xiao is modest, and the meaning of "you can give it a try" means that there is no problem, stable, Ji Xiao will help him find a way.
After thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong: "Rebuild it once, and enter the country faster than before. It's really unreasonable. If Tai Heng knew about it, he would have to die of anger."
It is necessary to say goodbye to see you thousands of miles away. Before leaving, Qian Yuzhi instructed the two stewards: "This time we have to make progress. Compared with the last time, it is not difficult to earn 30% more, right?"
Bi You flew out from between the rabbit ears and turned into a human body, a young boy in a turquoise blue shirt:
"Boss, this is impossible."
"What is our practice?"
Bi You and Ruan Hui were subconsciously shocked and shouted in unison: "'Hengtong Juyuan' is not impossible—"
Qian Yuzhi said with satisfaction: "That's right, as long as you work hard, you can create miracles with your wings and claws."
The two stewards looked at each other.
Meng Xueli was stunned.
After Qian Yuzhi left, Bi You shook Ruan Hui's shoulders: "I can't do it anymore, I'm going to die! You're going to change back to your original form."
Ruan Hui complained aggrieved: "You are annoying."
He crouched down reluctantly, turned into a long-eared gray rabbit, and jumped into Bi You's arms.
The rabbit's fur was thick and soft, Bi You hugged it and slammed it twice, burying his head in the rabbit's soft belly and rubbing it.
At the end, he raised his head and took a deep breath: "I'm fine."
The child laborers put away their tears and raised their heads, facing the pressure of life and work again.
Meng Xueli looked hot from the side: "I'm so happy, there is no bald demon!" Not only was he envious, he was moved, "I also want to—hush!"
Suddenly, the back of his neck tightened, and he was caught by Ji Xiao with one hand. Ji Xiao didn't speak, his eyes were clear and he watched him seriously.
Meng Xueli immediately changed his tune and snuggled up to his Taoist companion to show his innocence: "I didn't think so."
Ji Xiao loosened his fingers and stroked him gently.
Two half-demons, a mirage, and a pair of human race companions rode a small flying boat, passed through the clouds, and flew to the edge of the human world.
Ruan Hui was misled by Bi You and accepted that "this is how masters and apprentices in the human world get along". Biyou turned into a kingfisher and nestled between his ears.
Kingfisher is talkative, chirping: "The rules of the demon world are different from those in the human world. The demon kings are taboos a lot. For the safety of this journey, don't think that we are long-winded."
Meng Xueli smiled: "No, I like listening to this."
Bi You: "Do you like it? That's great. I also like to chat."
Meng Xueli still remembered that Qian Yuzhi once said that the half-demons have weird temperaments, so he asked, "Let's not talk about the foreign monsters, do you two have any taboos?"
Bi You: "You can't ask me to transform into my true form before meals, and let me sing for fun."
Ruan Hui: "You can't ask me to transform into my true form after dinner, wipe my mouth and hands with me."
Meng Diao wanted to cry, what did Qian Yuzhi do, is he still human
Ji Xiao handed the two half-demon a large amount of dried fruit as a sign of comfort.
Bi You and Ruan Hui were overjoyed and thanked them continuously.
Biyou: "In the demon world, the demon king with territory is called 'the king', and the demon generals under the demon throne are called 'adults'. Now there are fewer demon kings, and the territory of the king of Lingshan spans the north and south of the demon world, but some big demons, On the surface, they surrender and pay tribute to the King of Lingshan, but in the back they still think that they are the masters of the party, so when we pass through Heishan, Baihe, Honglin and other places, we still have to call him the 'king' to avoid them being unhappy."
Meng Xueli nodded, expressing understanding.
Ruan Hui continued: "When I arrived in the demon world, there were guys who helped me along the way, but in short, I didn't give up my money. When I arrived at the secret line, about half of the rare treasures in the human world were left, and they would be sold in small quantities and many times. They will not be sold directly. For the king, sell it to the little demon generals first, and then they will offer it up layer by layer, and they will usually get the rewards of the demon king, but those benefits have nothing to do with us, we are only in the dark.
Meng Xueli listened attentively. When he was the demon king, he was the one who enjoyed the sacrifices. He didn't know there was such a complicated network behind it.
Meng Xueli asked, "You guys are running around in business, have you met the King of Lingshan?"
Ruan Hui was shocked: "Who dares to see it?"
Bi You: "I heard that he likes killing and betraying demons for fun, and his temperament is brutal. There are five demon generals under him. Two of them once raised the flag of rebellion and established themselves as kings, but they were defeated by him and imprisoned. Demon Suppression Tower, tortured."
Ruan Hui listened a lot and was no longer afraid, but out of rabbit instinct, he shivered politely.
Meng Xueli was stunned: "He killed the demon not for fun, but for shock. As for his hobbies, he likes painting, playing the piano, reading..."
Bi You suspected that he had been deceived: "What kind of hobby is it to draw and play the piano? How can a demon like this kind of thing?"
Just as the mirage woke up, he squinted slightly, stuck his head out of Meng Xueli's sleeve, and took a long breath.
The two half demons were shocked: "What a powerful and pure demon energy, which king is this?"
The mirage opened its mouth blankly: "Ow."
Meng Xueli felt embarrassed: "This is a prop for our master and apprentice. Cough, leave it alone, let's talk."
The mirage shook its head and retracted its sleeves.
There was silence in the flying boat.
After a long while, Ruan Hui asked in a low voice, "Elder Meng, when you said you were going to pretend to be a demon, are you planning to pretend to be a demon general or demon king?"
The two half-demon finally realized that they seemed to have a big ticket this time.
Meng Xueli pointed at Ji Xiao. Worryingly said: "He's like this, it's not like playing a little demon."
Ji Xiao smiled helplessly when he heard the words.
He was peeling pine nuts, and even though he was doing this kind of nosy thing, he still had a straight waist and an extraordinary temperament, as if he was wiping a sword in front of a case.
"That's true." Ruan Hui was more worried than Meng Xueli, "I don't think he looks like a big demon."
Bi You had a clever idea and said to Ji Xiao: "Or else, you can pretend to be Elder Meng's pet! Lengao Jianxiu forced by the domineering demon..."
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Xueli turned pale in shock: "It can't be done!"
At the same time, voice transmission to Ji Xiao: "You believe me, I didn't bribe him in private! We are not a group!"
However, Ji Xiao said, "Yes."
He patted the back of Meng Xueli's neck and asked the little Taoist companion to relax: "It's just a show."
