"Well," Zhou Ying put down her pen and said first, "Follow the rules."
As soon as Bai Ling bowed his head as usual, he was about to back down, half of his body melted into paper, but Zhou Ying stopped him again.
Zhou Ying said: "Lu Wu is inexperienced, ill-prepared, and has not tempered a complete set of rules. I was hidden before because no one knew about them. This is the first time to deal with rebellion in my country. Even if something happens, it can be regarded as a pioneer. Plus 20%, regardless of success or failure, meritorious service will be recorded, and the name of the deceased can be included in the 'Forest of Steles of the Enlightened Division'."
Startled, Bering raised his head abruptly, almost suspecting that the person in front of him was wearing a spiritual mask.
Whether it is Lu Wu or the enemy, they are like pawns in Zhou Ying's eyes, and he doesn't care how many people die. He was too lazy to pretend to be a man in front of Bering, and he never concealed it. Because Bering had depended on him since he was a child at the bottom of the sea, as if he had one hand and one foot, he had no plans for his own hands and feet; also because Bering had nowhere to go in the world due to his status as a half-demon, so he would not betray him.
Hearing about this kind of thing, when he was in a good mood, he would just simply nod his head and order "restraint".
Why this time...
"If you have time, you can go to the Yongning Hou Mansion and ask for a letter from Lord Hou. Beili is the site of sword cultivators. It is like an iron barrel. It is no different from the messy Western Chu. If Lu Wu is cornered there, he can take the letter from Master Hou to the north. Jueshan looks for the 'Blind Wolf King'. That old cripple is ruthless, don't be stingy with property, give people whatever you want, and you can save their lives." Zhou Ying didn't seem to notice his shock, and said to herself, " There is no need to worry about Chu State, Shiyong is in Tao County, he is still reliable when he is not a monster... I am mainly afraid that he will find trouble on his own-you should inform him that the news has been tight recently, since he has successfully placed someone into the Zhao family , let him calm down for a while, no matter what he wants to do, give me a break first."
Only then did Bering come back to his senses, and he answered, and the paper flew away. For some reason, he felt a little better.
Lu Wu's affairs are handled by him. He has heard many people's stories, made many paper dolls for them, and can remember most people's names. When the person is gone, the names are left empty on his paper. If those names can be taken out and engraved on the stone tablet, it can be regarded as a settlement.
It is rare for the Lord to have them in his heart.
Zhou Ying lowered his eyes and looked at his fingertips. He wanted to say, "Sooner or later, Lu Wu will be known by other countries. There will be such a day. What can these bastards do if they don't train hard a few times"—that's what he really thought.
However, when the words came to her lips, seeing Bering's darker eyebrows than usual, Zhou Ying suddenly realized that no matter what he said, Bering would only agree "yes", and then everything would go on as usual, without affecting anything, except the paper man. will be sad.
Just like whether he goes to the Hou's mansion, or whether he sees the old lady for the last time, it will not affect anything: ordinary people have a number of lifespans, and they will leave when they are exhausted. Happy to hate.
Except that he always has trouble getting settled and calm at midnight.
That being the case, why should the upper lip touch the lower lip on purpose to abuse someone who will not betray him? As if that was all he had.
He is no longer the bird who is half trapped in Wuduhai and half trapped in Jinping's cage, so he might as well not live such a pitiful life.
When Xi Ping received the letter from Bering, Yu Chang had just completed a round of Yujiawan Valley.
Xi Ping replied to Bering without changing his face and heartbeat: "Yes, you can rest assured that I will handle things."
Then he softened his voice slightly: "Brother Bering, please take care of the brothers in Nanshu, don't worry about Xichu Luwu, just leave it to me."
Hearing that, Yu Chang said with a leisurely smile: "Why is Tai Sui, have you seen it clearly? If not, I will take you there again?"
Xi Ping turned to Xi Yue.
Xi Yue rubbed between her brows: "No, I'll write it down."
Good boy!
If Xi Ping hadn't been afraid of having more teeth marks on his body, he would have gone up and beat his back.
He was about to say something back to Yu Chang, when Xi Yue said again: "There are nine core formations in the valley, and they are connected in series so that they can echo and link with each other. It can supplement functions and organize counterattacks. The magic circles he showed just now are 102 in total, and the number does not match the layout of the core circle. If I guessed correctly, there should be about forty hidden magic circles... As for what? Get rid of it, I have to go back and check the book, there are many big formations in it that are too complicated, and they are not accessible to the enlightened level."
Xi Ping: "..."
He called Xi Yuelai, mainly because his magic circle was of mediocre level, and most of them were wild tricks learned in the wild fox village, and he couldn't find any handy celestial weapon to record. Knowing that Xi Yue has a photographic memory, he wants him to come over and act as a brain, so that he can concentrate on how to deal with Yu Chang.
Just take Yu's taste of that guy's pissing nature, if he is aware of his details, he can be trapped to death in Yujiawan a hundred times.
Xi Ping had already thought up a set of speech skills just now, but who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and these two words of little Xi Yue were better than anything else.
Xi Yue didn't understand his expression, and touched his neck subconsciously. But the dragon taming lock was gone, and he could no longer feel the other party's likes and dislikes, so he was at a loss for a while: "What's wrong."
"That's right!" Xi Ping gave him a thumbs up.
He turned to Yu Chang, and replied in a tone of voice: "This is the end? It's fine, I'm fine, if you're not busy, just walk again."
Yu Chang's eyelids drooped, and he thought: Sure enough.
Xi Ping: "I counted that there are still about forty missing in the magic circle. Why, I'm afraid I'll take advantage of it by taking a second look?"
Yu Chang's heart shuddered.
The Yujiawan Formation has a history of hundreds of years, has undergone more than 30 overhauls, and countless small improvements to keep improving. Sanyue Mountain's famous magic circle masters have given pointers. It is difficult for folk monks who fight alone, and there are very few who are particularly proficient in inscriptions and magic circles—there is no access to relevant resources.
Those hidden magic circles are the real trump card in the Yujiawan valley, Yu Chang deliberately did not mention it, the temptation is on the one hand - on the other hand, he thinks Tai Sui is best to step in without knowing it, rest in peace in Yujiawan, Don't bother him in the future.
If Tai Sui could see that he was hiding something, his strength would have to be reassessed, but Yu Chang never expected that the other party would report the number as soon as he opened his mouth! This shows that Tai Sui has seen through the mountain protection formations in Yujiawan with a glance... No, this person is used to hiding his head and showing his tail, so maybe he can accurately calculate the approximate location of the hidden formations!
Yu Chang immediately became cautious: "Yes, I didn't finish what I just said. There is also a hidden magic circle that is not on the surface and needs to be drawn out with spiritual energy. Looking through it for no reason will arouse suspicion. I can draw a blueprint for this part."
Xi Ping gritted his teeth in his heart: You bastard, if you have blueprints, you didn't tell me earlier.
However, he smiled meaningfully, and he didn't seem to care about Yu Yu's temptation, nor did he care about whether he would tamper with the drawings, and he had an attitude of knowing everything.
Yu Chang couldn't help but "thump" in his heart, and suddenly lost his mind.
Wait, Yu Chang pondered: Before Tai Sui, he sent his unweaned little girl to find Guo Bu Zhishou, and even the Juling Formation was given to them by Bu Zhishou, who neither understands the filth of Taoism nor is proficient in Dharma. array like. From then on, he had a slight contempt for this "neighbor" who just moved in a few years ago.
Thinking about it now, that Tai Sui probably went to Yujiawan to meet Bu Zhishou on purpose, and deliberately leaked the fact that he wanted a hundred thousand taels of Bai Ling, to catch himself!
Including the facial tattoo in the Zhao family's secret realm.
Being able to replace living people with paper dolls under the noses of the Zhao family means that the Tai Sui people have already infiltrated in. If they really just want to use the identity of Miss Zhao to enter the inner gate of Sanyue, they will wait until the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang seal is printed. Isn't it enough if people drop their bags? Why take the risk of stealing spirits in front of him, in front of dozens of monks from Zhao Yu's family
It was also intentionally stolen for him to see!
The thread was buried so deep that Yu Chang couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling that all his thoughts were a joke, and he even speculated that he was a young man with no background: "Who are you?"
"A person who has no malice towards you," Tai Sui seemed to smile, and then he said inscrutablely, "It's just an old friend from Xianshan."
Yu Chang's pupils shrank imperceptibly, thinking that he understood the implication of the words - the lineage of the ancient demon gods who were suppressed by Xianshan back then planned to seize power and take revenge... Another autumn kill!
With his own power, Qiu Sha slaughtered a vote of ascension in Tao County, which disturbed the silver moon wheel to go down to earth... By the way, it was also August 15th when Qiu Sha ascended to spirit.
Yu Chang was silent for a moment, then bent down flexibly and flexibly: "Okay, as long as Tai Sui takes off my face, besides the blood contract, Yujiawan, I'll help you get it in a legitimate way."
Xi Ping is a master at pretending to be a wolf with a big tail, knowing that he can't talk too much, and the dog's head should be exposed if he talks too much, so he gave an unfathomable smile, let him scare himself, and cut off the contact.
Next to him, Xi Yue listened to the whole scene, before he had time to recall the past, he frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Autumn Harvest." Xi Ping waved his hand, and the pool of water in Pofa turned into a small viewing courtyard, "Come here and let me have a look... Hey, you boy, you stood with Luo Zuzong like two brothers back then, and now you are almost catching up with me. It’s not that my master was injured in the East China Sea and forced to go into seclusion. It would be great to let him bring you back to Feiqiong Peak. If our Yue Bao’er’s aptitude can’t enter the inner sect, what idiot can do it?”
Xi Yue ignored his rhetoric, and said relentlessly, "I heard just now that His Royal Highness Zhuang Wang said that Lu Wu was exposed recently, and the wind in Western Chu is tight, so you should not act rashly."
Xi Ping was exaggeratedly surprised: "You can memorize so many magic circles at once and you can use them at one time? My God, it's okay if you don't enter the inner sect. Master Hou didn't let you go to the No. 1 Scholar Examination, so we depend on you to order our ancestral grave!"
Xi Yue: "Xi Shiyong!"
Xi Ping let out a "tsk", and flicked Xi Yue's brain from the air: "What about the rules, you are the one who barked your brother's words?"
When he went home last time, he saw that Xi Yue was holding a gift from a grandson, so he knew that his parents recognized this young man named "Xi Yue" as their own family member, so he recognized him logically.
Xi Ping thought: "Giving him this name back then was probably the most correct thing I did in my life."
Under the pressure of the realm, Xi Yue couldn't dodge it, and she was hit by it, but she only felt like a little breeze passing by.
The young master who was wayward and domineering back then also knew the seriousness, and he learned to be an elder brother without a teacher.
"I'm sensible, don't worry, you misheard just now, what we're talking about is not the recent matter." Xi Ping coaxed him, "Don't tell third brother, the informant is not tall—how are parents treating you? Cui Ji Twice a year when you go to the new bride, does your mother give you a piece of clothing every time, and all the messy new rouge that has never been tried on the color will be patted on your face first?"
Xi Yue's eyes turned sour: "No, she said I'm going to wear blue clothes, so I have to be solemn."
"What the hell? Don't be so biased!" Xi Ping swayed Erlang's legs, shook his head and complained, "Like the new and dislike the old, if you have a young one, you will become a stepmother..."
Xi Yue interrupted his nonsense: "Why don't you come back and take a look? How long can it take you a few moments to show your face in Jinping, Xianzun?"
Xi Ping was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing where to start.
When a person has thousands of words in his heart but can't find the words, he will look older, no matter how youthful his face is.
"Not yet." In the end, he just said nonchalantly, "I... Well, Xuanyin Mountain has been saying that Feiqiong Peak has been closed, but there is actually something inside. I still have something to do, so I will return immediately. Parents are getting old, don't let them worry."
He paused when he said this, and suddenly smiled again: "I'll tell you, you're much more reliable than me."
At first glance, Xi Ping looks exactly the same as Donghai Yibie five years ago, not even a bit dusty. But seeing those familiar eyes, Xi Yue felt the parting of half a lifetime again.
Xi Yue suppressed her voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Don't tell me, don't inquire." Xi Ping shook his finger at him, "I want what I need, I can't get it, and there is the third brother."
Xi Yue suddenly clenched his fist, which was half made of wood and iron. In the past five years, he studied the magic circle desperately, followed Pang Jian, and changed his semi-doll body from the inside to the outside one by one, trying to become more powerful , Make it a little more powerful... In this way, the next time you encounter a storm in the East China Sea, you won't be blown away by a spell.
But he is like Kuafu every day, he broke his leg after running, and he is still farther and farther away from the goal he is chasing all the way.
"What are you doing?" Without the dragon taming lock, Xi Ping seemed to still be able to read his mind, and said with a smile, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, you follow that old fox Pang Jian every day, and he knows which restaurant you went to yesterday if you fart." , What is the difference between telling you and notifying Tianji Pavilion? Some things can’t be passed on to the outside world.”
Xi Yue said stubbornly: "Then I will follow you."
"You bastard, your parents are not traveling far, can you learn something from me?"
Xi Yue: "..."
Xi Ping thought for a while: "That's right, I don't have any other advantages besides being handsome and cute... Alas, I was born with it, so there's nothing I can do about it—well, don't I ask you for help whenever I need something? Go back first." Home, I have a lot of customers here today. Go back and give me a copy of the magic circle, and I will call out to my brother in the future, and bring you in to play, see you anytime."
"you… "
Before Xi Yue could say anything, he felt that his feet were empty, as if he had fallen from a height.
The next moment, he woke up in his own body, opened his eyes and looked around, and found that he had returned to Jinping Hou's mansion, and the sky was bright.
While listening to Xi Yue's scolding from the Reincarnation Wood as a pastime, Xi Ping played the piano for a while in the secret realm—if Lu Wu exposed it, and the third brother sent him a letter, then even Sanyueshan would know about it, and the other party would What's the reaction
The third brother just sent a message, which means that Yehu Township should be relatively safe. Because of the autumn killing incident, Tao County has just been plowed by the silver moon wheel, and the cicada has sloughed away and ascended to the spirit again. As long as Sanyue has a little confidence in his own masters, he should not be too nervous. This border of Wanchu, at most, send a few people over to check it out Circle, Lu Wu's mask has been updated, as long as Xuan Wubu comes in person, other people can't easily remove Lu Wu's mask.
But... it's only a few days away from August 15th.
Once the Spirit Gathering Formation was activated, the land veins of Tao County must be different. Even under the shroud of the broken dharma bracelet, Sanyue could not see the movement here, and a random Qilin guard would not be unable to find it.
What to do
After Wei Chengxiang and Zhao Xidan finished adjusting their breathing, Xi Ping sent them back - after all, the human body is still in Yujiawan, and the consciousness may change after a long time.
Then he himself left the broken dharma bracelet, transformed into a barefoot doctor with a medicine box on his back, and landed in the countryside of Tao County. Walking along the desolate path, Xi Ping felt that Tao County seemed to be quieter again, whether it was his illusion.
When passing through a small village, he heard a "squeak" and turned around to see a familiar little boy coming out yawning and stretching sleepily. The boy found a big tree in front of his house and was about to untie his pants and release water .
The tree happens to be reincarnated wood.
Is there anyone in charge of these wild children!
Xi Ping suddenly remembered that this brat was the one who wiped his nose on the reincarnated wood last time, and old and new grudges welled up in his heart.
He took revenge on the spot, and lightly flicked the bird on the tree with his spiritual energy. The bird that was lying in the nest was startled immediately, and in response, he pulled a big bubble of dung, which hit the child's bald head squarely. superior.
The little boy didn't react at first, so he stretched out his hand to wipe it, held it up in front of his eyes for a long time before realizing what it was, and cried "Aww".
Xi Ping's wicked thing walked past him slowly with the medicine box on his back, walked up to him, and deliberately made a face at the child: "Hey, are you wearing a new hat?"
The baby howled even more fiercely.
"Hey..." Xi Ping laughed, and was about to continue to add fuel to the flames, when suddenly his eyes froze, and the corners of his mouth froze—the child had a full moon scab on the back of his hand, and he remembered that he hadn't had it the last time he shook his nose.
Xi Ping frowned, and carefully injected a hair-like aura into the child's meridians. After walking around, he found that the undeveloped meridians of the running and jumping doll were like a pot of grass that hadn't been watered for more than a month. , is about to dry up. The back of the hands, the back, under the ears, on the feet... There are no less than ten full moon scabs all over the body, the outer ring is shining like snake scales, and the middle is black, viciously sucking people's vitality, making people's scalp numb.
"Brother Yu," Xi Ping immediately sent a letter to Yu Chang, and said in a deep voice, "I have something to ask, since Sanyue Xianshan has decided to send a batch of elixir to Tao County, why is it only now that we start to collect spirit herbs from Yujiawan?"
Listening to the progress, even if the entire mountaintop of Jinxia Peak in Xuanyin Mountain is moved to Tao County, it will be too late to refine the elixir for the whole county before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Could it be that Elder Xuanwu has been unable to breathe and hold his breath, not knowing that Mid-Autumn Festival is the bottom line
Yu Chang was silent for a moment, and replied: "No - as far as I know, the herbs needed for the elixir are actually aquatic, and the elixir field in Yujiawan does not produce them."
Xi Ping: "What?"
Then who did you sell it to in such a big way
"The elixir for mortals will naturally not be refined by the inner sect elder himself. The great elder only ordered the allocation of money and spirit stones." Yu Chang sighed and said, "As for who will get the money in the end? In the field, it depends on the connections and skills of each family, not on what they grow in their spiritual fields... This kind of thing is rare in Dawan. The family ugliness makes Tai Sui laugh."
The figure of Xi Ping with the medicine box on his back disappeared at an empty corner, and finally he sent a message to Yu Chang: "Before noon, get your tattoo ready and come here as soon as possible."
On the same day, Xi Ping copied the three Yuchangs in the broken dharma bracelet, and used the same method as stealing the dragon and the phoenix to lead the Yanmian from Yuchang to the midair.
Yu Chang's whole body was as if a layer of skin had been peeled off, and he lay down on the ground exhausted, free and embarrassed, he gasped for half a day and gathered enough strength to laugh.
He was panting while laughing, and in the end he almost got out of tune, with a dangerous cry: "Tai Sui, who are you going to kill from the Yu family? What are you taking from the Yu family? Just, just this, I will kill for you, and I will kill for you." You take... I can still... I can still destroy their entire family, dig their ancestral graves, and fuck their ancestors... It's been more than four hundred years... It's been more than four hundred years!"
Tai Sui's qin sound paused, and Xi Ping behind the qin raised his eyes—
