Then he thought for a moment: "As far as I know, her mother should be from the Demon Sect..." He glanced at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao said: "Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you. I do have some connection with the Demon Sect, but in fact, I also have some connection with the Taisu Immortal Pavilion. The news that Xiaoyan has a younger sister was learned from the Demon Sect."
Hou Bomin was knowledgeable and experienced. In fact, he had long realized that the origins of the Sha Ling fan, Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom were mysterious and seemed to be related to the Demon Sect.
It’s just that when Shi Hao was in Bashan, he used Taoist techniques and martial arts. After leaving Changbai Mountain, the two kinds of internal strength, Taoism and magic, became one, neither Taoist nor magic.
Hearing him say this, Hou Bomin only felt that his background was unusual. He was probably like Xiaoyan, because of special reasons, his elders were involved with Taoism and the Demonic Sect at the same time. He did not make any other guesses.
Hou Bomin sighed and said, "Since you know this, I won't hide it from you. Someone saw a girl who looked exactly like Xiaoyan in the East China Sea. Xiaoyan suspected that the girl was her sister, so she went to the East China Sea..."
He told the story. After listening to it, Shi Hao paced a few steps and suddenly asked, "I wonder if you have heard of a place called Pengjing Mirage?"
As soon as the words came out, Xianggu was surprised and asked: "Pengjing Mirage?"
Hou Bomin said, "What is this place? I have been in the martial arts world for many years, but I have never heard of such a place."
Shi Hao said: "According to rumors, this is an extremely mysterious place above the East China Sea. To some extent, it is even more hidden than the Taisu Immortal Pavilion." Having said that, he looked at the mushrooms.
Xianggu's exclamation obviously meant that she knew the place called "Pengjing Mirage".
But Xianggu sighed softly, with a rare look of shock on his face, and asked quietly: "Why did you mention such a place?"
Shi Hao said: "Because the disappearance of sister Xiaoyan seems to be related to the Pengjing Mirage."
Xianggu shook his head: "That's impossible. The Holy Building has always been closed and never accepts outsiders. They are extremely xenophobic. Outsiders who enter the territory of the Holy Building will generally die."
Shi Hao pondered her words: "Are you talking about the Mirage... or the Holy Tower?"
Xianggu said quietly: "Don't ask me, I don't know, and I don't want to go back to that kind of place again."
Shi Hao and Hou Bomin looked at each other.
In fact, they were also curious about the origin of Shiitake Mushroom. Shiitake's martial arts were obviously unconventional, but his origin was completely unknown. He was also proficient in witchcraft.
She had a sixth-grade foundation, but before this, they had never heard of such a person in the world.
Of course, there are too many people with secrets in the world, and Shi Hao himself has a lot of secrets, so he never asks about it.
But at this moment, because Xiaoyan was involved in this Pengjing Mirage, and Xianggu said "I don't want to go back", Shi Hao couldn't help but feel curious.
Shi Hao asked, "Miss Xianggu, did you come out of the Pengjing Mirage?"
Xianggu looked up, as if recalling something: "Well, I left there when I was very young. Someone took me away."
She sighed, "It's better not to know where that place is, and don't go looking for it. If you find it, you'll be dead."
Shi Hao said resolutely: "I don't want to look for it, but if Xiaoyan is in danger, I can't just ignore it."
Xianggu thought about it and shook his head: "The Holy Building will not accept outsiders. There is no reason for Xiaoyan's sister to be a member of the Holy Building. You must have made a mistake."
Shi Hao looked at Hou Bomin and said, "Now that I'm at the East Coast, how can I find Xiaoyan?"
Hou Bomin smiled and said, "Forget it. I will meet you after I finish attending the Hongqiu meeting. I will go to the East China Sea with you."
Then the two of them looked at Xianggu together. Xianggu seemed very hesitant: "Do you really want to go? Do you really want to find the Holy Tower? You have to think it over. That is a dead end. Do you really want to die? Isn't it good to live? Why do you want to go to a dead end? What's the good of dying..."
They never knew that she was so talkative.
Shi Hao said: "First, the girl on the sea may not be Xiaoyan's sister. Secondly, even if she is Xiaoyan's sister, she may not really be related to the Penglian Mirage. Finally, if she is really related..."
He sighed: "Hearing you say that, I am even more worried."
Shiitake muttered, "You have no idea what that place is. Anyway, I will never go there."
Shi Hao said helplessly: "Forget it, I will go to Daxing City first, and you guys should also go to the Hongqiu meeting first. If there is anything, we can talk about it after we meet up."
After Hou Bomin and Xianggu left, he went to meet Yue Jiao first.
—
Du Yuejiao first entered Daxing City and returned to the main body of Chongxianmen in Daxing City.
Shi Hao, together with Sha Lingshan, Madam Meihua and Madam Taohua, arrived at Bishu Villa outside Daxing City.
After arriving at the villa, not long after, the female caster summoned by Sha Lingshan also arrived.
Although the female caster was a woman, she was tall and strong. She wore a skirt made of leopard skin and her right arm was bare.
Shi Hao handed her the stone bone inlaid with the divine crystal. The female caster looked at it for a long time, and finally said, "Young Master, there is nothing I can do.
"This stone bone, judging by the material, is made of white meteorite. Judging by the divine crystal, a portion of it has been melted. To some extent, it can be regarded as a magic weapon that was abandoned halfway through the forging process when it was suddenly unsmelted. And for some reason, this white meteorite is not a human body, but it absorbs the divine crystal like a human body, which is quite strange.
Sha Lingshan said at the side: "Although it is not a human body, it is inside the Xuanhuang Dao Body. It is considered the root of the Xuanhuang Dao Body. The son of God Yi possessed the Xuanhuang Dao Body and wanted to absorb it, but before he could fully succeed, he was killed by the young master."
"Perhaps because of this, the divine crystal has melted a part but not completely. And the Xuanhuang Dao Body, although it is a human body, is similar to a magic weapon. Perhaps because of this, it has become like this."
The female forger said, "I don't have the ability to forge it again. It has become waste and I'm afraid it can only be destroyed."
Shi Hao said: "After it is destroyed, won't this divine crystal also disappear?"
The female caster said, "That's right!"
Shi Hao asked: "Is there no other way?"
The female forger said, "There may be someone in the unorthodox sect who can transform it. This person is called Taoist Tieyu, and his forging skills are unparalleled. If we can find him, there may be a way. Unfortunately, he is from the Taoist sect and has no contact with our Xielian Sect. I don't know where he lives."
Shi Hao thought, is Taoist Tieyu so powerful
After letting the female caster leave, he looked at Sha Lingshan and said, "I do know where Taoist Tie Yu lives. It looks like I need to go to him."
Sha Ling waved her fan and smiled, "Young Master, can you make some preventive arrangements?"
Shi Hao said: "Preventive arrangements?"
Sha Lingshan said, "After all, it is a top-grade divine crystal. If it fails, that's fine. But if it does succeed, who knows, that Taoist will run away with it. According to the style of our Demon Sect, we always have to make some arrangements to be prepared for any eventuality."
Shi Hao thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it. This divine crystal has become like this. The possibility of reforging it is not great. If it is forged, it will be a profit. It is better to have a low psychological expectation. Taoist Tie Yu is friends with Xiao Yan. I still believe him. Even if he really runs away, it is his own reputation, unless he really doesn't want to mix in the forging circle and hide his identity from now on."
If they really follow the Demon Sect's style, they must be prepared for any eventuality before forging, and after forging, they may have to kill to silence the witness.
Although it is a top-grade divine crystal, it is actually a divine crystal that is almost equivalent to waste, and he is not willing to go to this extent for it.
By the afternoon, Yue Jiao still hadn't returned, so he also entered Daxing City.
After arriving in Daxing City, I found that the atmosphere here was somewhat different from the last time I came here.
The last time I came to Daxing City, there were endless disputes in the city, and fighting was everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Coming here again at this moment, although there are many martial artists, overall, everything is in good order.
The original three gangs and six sects, the Shark Dragon Gang, the Qingxiong Gang, and the Leopard Sect were all destroyed. The Xuande Sect and the Baijian Sect were forced to join the Tiandi Gang in the process of being enemies with the Qingxiong Gang. The Jinlong Sect was more of a chamber of commerce, and although it had certain strength, it could hardly be considered a martial arts sect.
So, the original chaos in the underworld suddenly turned into the Tiandi Gang dominating the world at this moment.
In the past, neither the Barbarian Court nor the Chongxian Sect would have tolerated a situation where one gang dominated the Daxing City.
But in this period, Chongxianmen was forced to shrink its territory because of the killing of "Dragon Purple Immortal Warrior" Lu Jin, and was unable to stir up trouble in Daxing City. The Man Court was facing resistance from all over the country, and as long as the Tiandi Gang did not openly rebel, it would be difficult for them to take care of this place.
It can only be said that Tiandi Gang leader Deng Haihan is indeed a well-known old fox. After years of forbearance, he found the best time.
—He went straight to the foot of the mountain where Chongxian Gate was located in Daxing City, and Shi Hao climbed up the mountain.
Although it is subjective, in fact, most people have already evacuated at this moment, and the number of Taoists from the Chongxian Sect stationed here is not much more than that of the branch temples in various counties.
It was already dusk at this time. After asking a Taoist boy to report, he was taken to the side courtyard. Immediately afterwards, he saw the female Taoist Zhuo Mulan, wearing Taoist robes and holding a whisk, coming to greet him.
Shi Hao followed her into the courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Where is Yue Jiao?"
Zhuo Mulan said softly, "She went to Lingqiong Cliff, where the immortal sect grows immortal materials. She went to see her female master sister named Shi, saying that she wanted something. Judging from the time, she should be back soon."
Hearing that Yue Jiao was not there, Shi Hao took the opportunity to hug her and pressed her on the stone table next to him.
The beautiful female wanderer pressed her back against the stone table, feeling shy and panicked: "Yue Jiao will be back soon!"
Shi Hao grabbed her hands, making it impossible for her to resist, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that you haven't come back yet?"
Chapter 225 Stone Bones and Divine Crystals
"Stop it!" The female wanderer blushed.
Shi Hao felt that since the two had already had a relationship, he couldn't just leave them alone forever.
It has been more than a month since I last left Daxing City. I have to give them some comfort, right
Of course, this place is indeed not very safe and it is easy to be discovered.
So he picked her up by the waist, went into the attic, climbed the stairs, and came to Yue Jiao's room... It was safer here.
"Yue Jiao will come back!" Zhuo Mulan couldn't help but pat his restless hands.
"Look outside!" Shi Hao turned her over and let her lie on the window pane facing the courtyard gate outside.
Zhuo Mulan couldn't do anything about him, so she had to stay in the female disciple's room, watching outside to prevent the female disciple from coming back suddenly. At the same time, she was bullied by him like a leaf swaying back and forth in the autumn wind outside, as if it would fall from the branch at any time.
It seemed like a long time had passed like this, and suddenly, she fluttered back in panic, "Yue Jiao is back!"
The branches and leaves outside were shaking even more violently in the autumn wind.
"Master!" On the mountain road outside the courtyard gate, the girl looked up and saw her master and waved her hand.
Zhuo Mulan responded with a smile. Fortunately, although her jacket and trousers had been taken off, her Taoist robe was still on. At the same time, she managed to use her body to block the young man behind her.
However, he did not dare to move as much as he did just now. He could only hunch his back slightly, feeling nervous, fearing that the bad guys behind him would not be done after his female disciple came in.
Until the autumn wind blew and the autumn moon on the tree fell down. When the girl stepped into the side courtyard and was about to enter the pavilion, the young man quickly packed up and slipped into the room of the female wanderer.
When he sensed through his mysterious energy that the girl was going upstairs, he quietly slipped out from the window sill of the woman.
The female monk also quickly tied her belt, walked to the door, and greeted the female disciple who came up with a smile.
"Master!" Du Yuejiao hugged her master and rubbed against him like a spoiled child.
She left home when she was young and entered Chongxian Sect to practice. Her biological mother had passed away long ago. To her, her master was like her mother.
"Master, did you just wake up too?" Du Yuejiao asked softly when she noticed that Master's collar was loose and his underwear was baggy.
Isn't it your lover who touched her randomly? The woman said "hmm" softly.
The master and the apprentice entered the house and talked in a low voice. Suddenly, a young man called out from outside the courtyard gate:
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
Du Yuejiao came to the window in astonishment, pushed it open and looked out, and asked happily, "Master, why are you here?"
Shi Hao stood at the gate, looked up at the girl, and said with a smile: "You didn't go to the villa, I was a little worried, so I came to check on you."
Du Yuejiao said: "It just so happens that I just came back from Lingqiong Cliff and got the Huanhai Shenzhi."
The master and the disciple went downstairs, and Shi Hao bowed to Zhuo Mulan and said, "Junior greets you!"
Zhuo Mulan held a whisk in her hand and said with a smile, "Since you are a guest from afar, let Yue Jiao entertain you." She did not disturb them and went back into the house. After closing the door, she hurriedly changed her jacket and trousers.
When Du Yuejiao saw her master going back to his room, she also pulled Shi Hao upstairs quietly, entered her own room, and closed the door.
"Brother Shi, look!" She opened a jade box that she had just brought back from outside, and saw a Ganoderma lucidum inside, but it was dark blue in color, with ripples flowing, and it seemed as if the sea water was shaking inside.
"Thank you so much for your help!" Shi Hao put his arm around her waist and said with a smile.
The girl leaned her face against his chest, looking very happy.
The two of them were talking in whispers here. After a while, Du Yuejiao opened the door, looked out, and saw that his master's door was still closed, so he went downstairs to get some cakes and returned to the house.
As the sky gradually darkened, Shi Hao said, "It's almost time for me to leave."
Du Yuejiao thought for a moment, then pulled him out of the door and said to Zhuo Mulan's room, "Master! Master is leaving, I'll go see him off."
Zhuo Mulan responded from inside the house: "Go ahead and come back early!"
Du Yuejiao went downstairs with Shi Hao, but they did not go to the foot of the mountain. Instead, Du Yuejiao took him around for a while and then quietly returned to the yard.
Du Yuejiao asked him to hide outside the downstairs window first, and she went to the main entrance and went upstairs.
Zhuo Mulan came out and asked, "Is he gone?"
Du Yuejiao said: "Let's go!"
Zhuo Mulan nodded and said nothing more.
The master and disciple chatted for a while. After they separated, Du Yuejiao returned to his room, closed the door, then rushed to the window and opened it.
After a while, Shi Hao crawled in. Du Yuejiao extinguished the candle, and the two of them hugged each other in the dim light and rolled onto the couch again.
"Speak softly!" Du Yuejiao patted him and whispered, "Don't let my master hear you. It would be bad if she knew you were staying here."
Then, the young man who had been fooling around with his master in the evening started hanging out with his apprentice again.
