Xi Ping sat upright quickly, focusing on his brows, and the evil whispers from all the corners of the fleet fell into his ears.
"...four more..."
"...the ally's reply letter is accurate, and the Shu people, as evil spirits..."
"Treat him in the same way..."
"It's time to get rid of the dirty water dragon..."
"Mirage disperses poison..."
"Don't worry, the water dragon can control it..."
"The inscription and the formation..."
coming!
Xi Ping tapped his knees with his fingers, thinking about what he should do.
The bone qin in his hands is a little better than before...but only a little.
In addition to the master's sword spirit that is more expensive than life, his bone qin still has meaning only when "people have a heart". For example, the sound of the piano at the moment of life and death has the vigor to cut mountains and shake rocks. If you want to use the sound of the piano to hit a target, it must be timeless.
Only the silent string that can be played directly on the altar with his left hand has the slapping effect of "when he moves the string, others will be stunned". But this is also limited: first, the target must be "Buping Cicada" who has soaked the reincarnation tree in blood; He is born with a particularly high inspiration, or an old half-immortal who has practiced for decades, he must not be able to control it; in the end, a string of his notes can only affect one person.
That is to say, against Shang Lu Chengyi, the most effective weapon of Xi Ping, the "junior Tai Sui", is deceit and abduction.
In this fleet, besides Wuchangyi, there are at least a dozen or so Unpingcicadas among the boatmen and entourage, scattered on different stone carriers and frigates, Xi Ping may be able to wait for an opportunity to do a little damage when they attack, it is impossible Control the audience.
In addition, Xi Ping knew that he had another disadvantage: even though he thought he had worked very hard during this time, it was still impossible for him to be as familiar with the various inscriptions and magic circles on the frigate as those old half-immortals—he was filled with paper by his master every day. The wrong homework can also help him dispel illusions and be a down-to-earth person.
Then it can only be... misfortune will be diverted.
In the evening of the next day, Xi Ping calculated the time for Zhao Zhenwei's routine inspection of the main ship, and began to warm the wine in the room, adding a drop of "maze" he had touched from Feiqiong Peak to the wine.
All the wine immediately turned into fine wine, and the strange fragrance made everyone who passed by his door salivate, and it really attracted Zhao Zhenwei. Zhao Zhenwei was keen on making connections everywhere, and had long wanted to make friends with the Prince of Yongning Hou, so he rushed to strike up a conversation with "It smells so good", and was invited by Xi Ping to have a drink with him, and he immediately neglected his duty and went drinking.
"You asked about the soul-returning vortex." Zhao Zhenwei smacked the wine, shook his head and said, "It's a large vortex group on the sea caused by the tide. The abyss can reach hundreds of feet at most, and it is terrifying and spectacular. But we can't see it, and we have to have a master to calculate the auspicious time when we escort the spirit stone to the north-not the almanac that says it is appropriate to start construction or break ground, but it is calculated. The quiet period of the resurgence vortex."
While inviting him to drink, Xi Ping chatted: "Then why don't you just avoid this place?"
"It can be avoided early, isn't it impossible? The location of the maelstrom is not fixed, and the range is very large, so it can't be bypassed. Besides, this is a land of chaos, where can I supply it?" Zhao Zhenwei shook his head when he said this. Shaking his head, "Actually, sometimes when I think about it, people are people, and they still can't compete with the sky."
Seeing that there were more exclamations in his words, Xi Ping knew that he was in charge, so he poured him a glass of wine calmly, and said in a non-human way: "Brother Zhao, I don't like you talking about such depressing things all the time. Listen, don’t they all say that man will conquer heaven?”
Zhao Zhenwei waved his hand: "You are still young."
Xi Ping put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice.
Zhao Zhenwei has no qualifications in the South Mine. On the one hand, everyone has to be called senior brother and senior sister when meeting, and on the other hand, his subordinates refuse to accept him. It is rare to meet someone younger than him who asks him for experience, and immediately becomes addicted to being a father .
"Man can conquer nature?" He laughed a few times, and unconsciously drank another glass of wine, "Let me tell you, man, after coming out of the mother's womb, there is basically no suspense about what life will be like. Is it expensive or cheap?" Destined, let me say it is better to let nature take its course—you are like those ordinary people, who are the sons of butchers, who will become butchers when they grow up, marry the daughter of the carpenter next door, and live their lives for decades. It's all good, I'm envious. If you insist on 'surviving the sky', hiding the spiritual field, hiding the evil spirits...or simply becoming an evil spirit yourself, so that people are neither human nor ghost, what good is it in this world?"
Xi Ping was peeling the grape skins, somehow he was so strong that he threw a hand full of water. As if he had committed a young master's temper, he put it aside and didn't touch it.
Xi Yue glanced at him, brought the fruit plate over in silence, peeled it for him, and poked out the seeds with a thin skewer.
Xi Ping stared at Zhao Zhenwei and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is in the mine, can he also come into contact with evil spirits?"
"Hey, why haven't I been in touch with you, not to mention far away, just... Last year, our family was all targeted by evil spirits." Zhao Zhenwei's tongue was already a little big, "Wo... hiccup... my family, Ning'an Mansion, the Son of Heaven Step, tell me how bold they are!"
"Hey," Xi Ping said, "making a fuss," said, "There are other things like this!"
"The cultivation level is not low, and there must be a late stage of enlightenment. Fortunately, the senior brother of the inner sect who came to the elixir field to harvest seedlings happened to stay at my house... Oh, you may not know that the elixir field is just the green leaves scattered all over the world. The ore field is of no use to us, but medicine repairers often use it to grow elixir. There is a green ore field in Ning'an, which belongs to the ancestors of our Zhao family." When Zhao Zhenwei mentioned the lintel, it was inevitable that he was a little bit showing off, and his eyebrows were beaming. Said, "That evil spirit forced the inner sect brother to use the fairy artifact given by the master. A hole was dug in the stomach for the fairy artifact, and he refused to let it go. In the end, he was carried away by his accomplices. Do you think it is fierce?"
Taking advantage of his inattention, Xi Ping poured out the wine in his glass and murmured: "The real murderer, are you crazy?"
"Who says it's not?" Zhao Zhenwei slapped his thigh and said with emotion, "What's wrong with the world!"
Xi Yue pushed a small dish of cleaned grapes in front of Xi Ping, carefully watching his face.
Xi Ping didn't look at him, and passed a thought with the Dragon Trainer Lock: I'm not angry.
Xi Yue pushed the plate forward again: Well, I'm not angry, you eat.
Xi Ping had nothing to do with him, took a deep breath calmly, and ate the grapes...it was still so sweet that it made people choke.
"Junior brother, where did you get this wine, it's a good thing!"
Xi Ping said with a smile: "The elders in the family brewed it themselves. If it weren't for tomorrow, we would be in the vortex of returning souls. We dare not delay Senior Brother Zhao's business. We will definitely invite you to stay drunk again."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhenwei waved his hands with his tongue out, "Six water dragons launched at midnight tonight, and the protection on the frigate was fully activated. When the Dragon King came, he had to make a detour, so we wouldn't be delayed from drinking."
"Okay," Xi Ping said without a word, "then it's settled, I'll wait for senior brother."
If you survive tonight.
The full moon rose from the waves, and a figure quietly entered the water dragon formation in the first frigate.
The decontamination water dragon that opened the way on the sea is not the same as the one thrown by Pang Jian at the pier of the canal. After being launched into the water, it is no different from the dragon in ancient legends. Surrounding them in a circle can even allow the fleet to travel smoothly through tsunamis and storms.
At this time, two water dragons opened the way, and there were four other dragons in the big formation, playing with each other like big carps in the three-foot-square formation.
Lu Chengyi stood beside the magic circle, chanting words, and a pitch-black spell gradually took shape in his hands.
The water dragons became agitated, opened their mouths, and roared silently at the malicious men outside the formation.
Without raising his eyelids, Lu Chengyi suddenly pressed the spell down. The water dragon array shook, and all the spiritual threads trembled like waves. The four water dragons struggled violently at first, and then cloudiness formed in their clear eyes, which gradually became cloudy. After a while, , actually did not move.
Lu Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, bit his finger, and wrote on the Reincarnation Wood: "Everything is going well."
The words were quickly sucked in by the wood, and then stopped on Xi Ping's mausoleum - this is what Xi Ping asked Wei Chengxiang to help try.
He didn't know how Liang Chen used the reincarnation wood to connect believers to each other. Anyway, after Xi Ping locked on a certain believer, he could not only distinguish the voice of the other party's prayer, but also receive the message sent by the other party into the reincarnation wood with blood. letter. After reading it, he can pass the letter on the reincarnation tree of other believers.
In this way, "Impermanence One" and "Holy Maiden" got in touch by using Tai Sui as the messenger.
Now the "Holy Maiden" and Lao Jiu follow Zhaoxue and the others as liaisons between the two parties. The Zhaoxue people have already ambushed, and Lu Chengyi's letter is to report the progress to the "Holy Maiden".
Xi Ping was yelling at Zhao Zhenwei to spread his virtues on the deck, and both of them were rubbing garlic under their feet - and singing.
Lin Zhaoli took a look outside, cursed "Cheng He Titong" and slammed the door. The passing crew didn't dare to take care of it, so they could only carefully guard the edge of the deck to prevent the two noblemen from falling off.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't intend to go into the water to sober up, so they walked downstairs and walked into the cabin.
The moment Lu Chengyi's letter touched Xi Ping's mausoleum, Xi Ping, who was in the cabin and walked to the back of the person, dragged Zhao Zhenwei to the wall without hesitation, and at the same time, he stamped a common time seal on the wall.
On the frigate, the spiritual seals reserved in advance in the small corridor outside the water dragon array were instantly activated.
The two places are instantly connected.
Xi Ping pushed Zhao Zhenwei in, and the drunkenness on his face disappeared. He watched Zhao Zhenwei and Lingyin disappear on the main ship together.
Then he stared at Lu Chengyi through his brows, and saw that Lu Chengyi, who had just done the water dragon formation without anyone noticing, got out of the water dragon cabin, before he had time to catch his breath... bumped into Zhao Zhenwei, who was smelling of alcohol.
Both of them were stunned.
"Ah, yo," Xi Ping said to himself, "this time it's 'caught rape in bed'."
He took the time to silently recite the name "Wei Chengxiang" in the altar, passed on Lu Chengyi's letter, and said casually: "Don't worry, he has to write you another letter in a while."
Wei Chengxiang opened her eyes, the spirit stone in her mouth had been broken, she took a deep breath, moved her body with grinning teeth, and swallowed the powder along with the blood.
At the beginning, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she kept silent, but now she doesn't have to hold back, and she doesn't want to say anything anymore—her palate and tongue have been worn out for a long time, and they are almost rotten . Not to mention asking her to talk at length, drinking saliva would tear her throat open and pour it directly.
Anyway, in the eyes of Lao Jiu and the others, the saint is becoming more and more unpredictable.
Before Wei Chengxiang could answer, the roots of her ears suddenly moved—it might be because of the loosening of the spirit orifices. Recently, she began to have a vague feeling of inspiration attached to her facial features, and her eyes and ears became more and more sensitive.
The person at the door approached, and she had already recognized who it was, and quickly retracted the legs that had been thrown out, straightened her crooked waist and hips, and assumed a cold posture.
After a while, the door rang three times, and Lao Jiu whispered: "Saint."
Wei Cheng knocked on the table to signal him to come in.
Lao Jiu walked in with his head down, not daring to look directly at the saint's face, and said, "Holy lady, to show their sincerity, Boss Bai and the others have already signed the spiritual contract first, and all the subordinates have read the content. The holy maiden see Look, if it is possible, can the saintess be asked to sign the spiritual contract on behalf of Tai Sui?"
As he said that, he took out a ball of "golden thread" from his bosom, Lao Jiu stretched out his hand, and the lines of gold characters seemed to be written on transparent paper, and jumped into the eyes of Wei Chengxiang and Xi Ping, only to see that the two sides were listed on it. How to cooperate, how to share spoils, etc.
Wei Chengxiang scanned over ten lines at a glance, and landed on the shocking last one: If there is any breach of contract, the altar will be broken.
Wei Chengxiang: Uncle, what is this
Xi Ping: "..."
He vaguely heard someone mention the "spiritual deed", but at that time there were too many and complicated news, so he didn't pay attention.
Xi Ping quickly asked Xi Yue through the dragon taming lock: What is a spirit deed
Xi Yue, who reads for him every day, quickly replied: It is a kind of contract written on the spirit image. After both parties agree voluntarily, they will press the contract with their hearts and blood and sincerity, and the spiritual contract will be completed.
Xi Ping: What about breaking the contract? What about breach of contract
Xi Yue said: "You can't break the contract. If you violate it, it depends on the agreement." If it is mild, the meridians will be damaged, and if it is severe, the spirit will be destroyed and the Tao will be eliminated. Even if one party dies, if the content of the spiritual contract does not stipulate that the death contract will be terminated, the spiritual contract will not disappear, and the other party still has to perform the contract.
Xi Ping: "..."
Wei Chengxiang: "..."
It's broken, why didn't I pay attention to this kind of thing.
But at this moment, Xi Ping's spine suddenly felt cold, and his inspiration was touched. He was startled, and followed his inspiration to find the past, and was shocked to find that Lu Chengyi and Zhao Zhenwei did not act according to his script.
Zhao Zhenwei murmured: "...Old Lu?"
Lu Chengyi was knocked out on the spot and tampered with on the water dragon array, but he didn't panic, he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Zhenwei's forehead with a spell.
Zhao Zhenwei shook his head violently and woke up.
"What's going on," Lu Chengyi said in a deep voice, "Aren't you patrolling the main ship?"
"I... am..." Zhao Zhenwei was at a loss for a moment, and suddenly realized something, "You just finished using the water dragon array?"
The two looked at each other, and said in unison: "Not good!"
Xi Ping: Bad Cai, I didn't expect that the person surnamed Zhao is not evil, but a house thief!
