Qiu Yutong picked up a jade tablet and frowned involuntarily.
This jade tablet has warm tentacles, and the overall appearance is a transparent and deep emerald green, with almost no flaws. Obviously, the texture is very good. The two blood-colored small seal characters on it - "Blood Prison" are also extremely finely carved.
Qiu Yutong hesitated for a moment, and lightly pressed his thumb on the word "Blood Prison". As expected, his fingertips immediately felt a pure aura flowing in the jade tablet.
"This is a passable jade card." Qiu Yutong paused for a moment, and then said, "Look at the word 'Blood Prison' on it, I guess this jade card is the legendary 'Blood Prison Secret Realm' that opens once every thousand years The pass jade token."
Lu Xiao also nodded and said, "That's right, that Luo Wugou complained when he was in the Earth Temple, saying that Gui Wuya only gave him three jade medals, and I guess it was these three."
Xu Dongqing hesitated and said, "If that's the case, what should we do with these jade tokens? Will it cause trouble?"
Looking at the jade tablet in her hand, Qiu Yutong felt very regretful, and couldn't help but sighed: "It's a pity, if my cultivation base is higher, I will enter the secret realm... But in the current situation, even if I enter the secret realm , I guess it’s more ominous than good.”
Having said that, Qiu Yutong was still a little bit reluctant to caress the warm jade tablet lightly. In fact, his superficial cultivation was not the main reason for him to give up. After all, he liked leapfrog challenges in his previous life, and the main reason for him to give up was Lu Xiao.
Now that the little apprentice looks so pale, how can he leave him behind? If something happens, it will be too late to regret.
Qiu Yutong held back the reluctance, and handed the jade card back to Xu Dongqing: "Holly, this jade card... you can sell it. I guess, this thing should be worth a lot of spirit stones now, maybe After selling these three jade tokens, you can rebuild Yaowangzhuang."
Xu Dongqing took the jade card with a very sad expression on his face: "As far as my insignificant ability is concerned, no matter how many spirit stones I have, I'm afraid..."
Qiu Yutong didn't know what to say, so she fell silent.
After a long time, Xu Dongqing raised his head slowly, forced a smile and said, "Where are you two? What are your plans?"
Lu Xiao looked at Qiu Yutong softly: "Master, what do you think?"
Qiu Yutong pondered and said: "I was just thinking about this question. Xiao'er, although you have used the elixir, your injury has improved a little, but after all, you have lost too much blood, so I am still not at ease. Also, your pulse condition is very strange. The owner of the villa can't even figure it out, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary Tianjue spirit vein... I was thinking, I might as well take you back to Shuo Xuecheng, and let the head master... Zun show you."
Qiu Yutong paused for the last sentence, almost slipping the tongue. When they were in Yaowangzhuang, brothers Xu Qiushi and Xu Dongqing always thought that he was the son of Qiu Yutong, or the disciple of Xie Wanting, the lord of Shuoxue City... Alas, lying is always awkward, but there is nothing he can do in this situation. Said, when there is a suitable opportunity in the future, let's confess to Xu Dongqing.
"You want to take him back to Shuo Xuecheng? Do you want City Master Xie to give him his pulse?" Xu Dongqing opened his eyes wide, "But Shuo Xuecheng is far away from Canglong Snow Mountain in the Western Region, and it is tens of thousands of miles away from here. How do you get there? ?”
Lu Xiao stared blankly at Qiu Yutong, with a dazed expression, as if in disbelief: "Master, you... you want to take me back to Shuo Xuecheng and show me the spirit veins?"
"Well, if you can practice, it would be great." Qiu Yutong nodded, "As for how to go back, I have thought about it carefully. Now that my cultivation base is shallow, it is too dangerous for Yujian to lead people. It's really too slow. But there is another way - we can go to the Xianmeng Guild Hall in the capital, buy a teleportation scroll, and teleport it directly."
When he said this, he coughed lightly: "It's just that you need to spend a little money..."
The method of using the teleportation scroll is very simple, even monks with a little bit of spiritual power can use it. It's just that the price of this thing is very expensive. A scroll that can transport people thousands of miles requires a hundred spirit stones in the cultivation world, and a thousand taels of gold in the human world. It can only make Lu Xiao's treasury bleed a little.
Seeing that Qiu Yutong was not joking, Lu Xiao's eyes lit up. Although his face was still pale, but his whole body was almost radiant, he nodded immediately: "No problem!"
Xu Dongqing blinked, and asked Qiu Yutong suspiciously: "But, aren't you worried about the sword array protecting Shuo Xuecheng? I heard that some people wanted to worship Master Bai as a teacher a few years ago, but there was no way to do so. I just had a whimsical idea, and used a scroll to upload myself to Aoxue Peak, but I was trapped in the sword formation that protected the city, and almost died!"
"To me, that sword formation is not that scary." Qiu Yutong laughed.
Uh, in fact, he made the sword formation to protect the city with his own hands... He also often improved it and created many weird functions, so that the brother in charge often sighed: "Yutong, don't play with that sword!" It's been a while, okay? Yesterday Lingxi fell asleep again and was still lying on the bed."
Xu Dongqing said "Oh": "Yes, you are Qiu Yutong's son, so Jianzhen naturally knows you. Then you bring him in, and there will be no problem."
Lu Xiao looked at Qiu Yutong, and said softly: "Master, it is safe to do things."
Xu Dongqing glanced at Lu Xiao with a hint of envy in his eyes, then lowered his eyes, his expression darkened again: "Oh, I also want to go to Shuo Xuecheng."
Qiu Yutong asked suspiciously: "You want to go to Shuo Xuecheng? It's not fun there, and it's very cold."
"I am like this now. I can't do martial arts without writing. My medical skills are average, and I don't know swordsmanship at all... I, I want to learn medicine well, and learn swordsmanship well. One day I can find out the truth and avenge my brother." Xu Dongqing His voice was a little hoarse, "I think... I want to thank the city lord for being my teacher."
Qiu Yutong was slightly taken aback: "Do you want to worship him as a teacher?"
Uh, that senior brother of his doesn't accept disciples easily.
Xu Dongqing shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Of course I also know that this is impossible. Even Peak Master Bai and Peak Master Sang turned around and left when they heard that my brother's bride was a demon. Naturally, City Master Xie... "
"That's not the case..." Qiu Yutong pondered.
The second senior brother is jealous of evil, and hates everything related to the demon race. The third senior brother is a vagabond, a little afraid of trouble, and rarely takes the initiative to take matters into his own hands. But the senior brother in charge of the sect is very open-minded, and he is relatively easy to talk to. Maybe it is really possible and he is willing to accept Xu Dongqing as his disciple.
I owe Xu Qiushi a huge favor, so I should take care of the genius doctor's only younger brother to the end.
Qiu Yutong thought about it carefully for a while, and said slowly: "Holly, how about this, you go with us, and I will take you back to Shuo Xuecheng. But you can't force it, it can only depend on your luck."
Xu Dongqing was stunned for a long time, then suddenly cheered, rushed forward and hugged Qiu Yutong fiercely: "Aqiu, you are so kind!"
Lu Xiao frowned and pulled him away, and said displeasedly, "What do you call him?"
Xu Dongqing blinked: "Ah Qiu. Ah Qiu asked me to call you that, and he also asked me to call you A Xiao."
Lu Xiao glanced at Qiu Yutong speechlessly, then turned to Xu Dongqing and said, "What about Aqiu and Axiao? It's a mess. You have to call him Qiuxian...Mr. Qiu, call me Brother Xiao."
"Ahem." Qiu Yutong rubbed her nose embarrassingly. He himself didn't have much feeling for the superiority and inferiority of the elders, but he forgot that Lu Xiao had always had a sense of distance from outsiders, so he naturally didn't like to yell casually like this.
Xu Dongqing pursed her lips: "Oh."
…
After all, they couldn't stay in the forest for long. After resting for a while, the three of them divided the forest and pulled the grass, and went down the mountain.
Qiu Yutong and Xu Dongqing were fine, but Lu Xiao was injured too badly. Although he had applied velvet antler moyu ointment and ate bear bile danshen pills, he was still limp. Qiu Yutong could only half-support and half-support the little apprentice. , the three of them walked slowly towards the small town down the mountain.
After walking for two full hours, they finally came to a small town at the foot of the mountain. Lu Xiao pulled some grass, and the three of them painted their faces yellow with grass juice, messed up their hair, and threw some dust on their bodies before entering the town.
This town is very small, there is only one street running from east to west, and there is only one inn on the street, and the name is very simple, it is called "Li's Inn".
Lu Xiao looked at the dilapidated and faded red wine tricks in the inn, and sighed: "No way, just stay here for one night, it's better than on the mountain."
The three of them entered the inn. There were not many people in the lobby of the inn. The waiter warmly brought tea and hot towels: "A few guest officials, do you want to stay in the inn, or do you want to be the top?"
Lu Xiao took out a piece of silver: "Sharp the tip first, then stay in the store. If there is anything delicious in the store, feel free to order it."
The waiter in the shop bit the silver hard, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay!"
Not long after, braised beef, lamb stew, stewed pig's trotters with snow peas, fried wild vegetables with eggs...there was a large table full, although not delicate, but also fragrant.
The three of them were so hungry that they buried their heads and ate a lot. Qiu Yutong didn't care about face anymore. He grabbed a fat pig's trotter and gnawed it wildly. He didn't return until Lu Xiao couldn't help but bend his lips. Overcome, she became angry from embarrassment: "Eat yours, laugh..."
For the sake of Master's image, I reluctantly endured the word "fart".
Lu Xiao lowered his head silently, his shoulders were still trembling slightly, and suddenly he let out a low "hiss...", as if pulling the wound.
"What's the matter, isn't it..." Qiu Yutong grabbed the white and fat pig's trotters, and looked at his apprentice worriedly, Lu Xiao couldn't help laughing again.
"..." Qiu Yutong gritted her teeth, "It deserves it!"
Xu Dongqing gobbled it up beside him, and said vaguely, "This is delicious... this, this is also delicious!"
The three of them were like wind and clouds, and after a while, a large table was swept away. Lu Xiao ordered two more plates of dim sum. Qiu Yutong was stuffing a piece of mung bean cake into his mouth when he heard a chattering sound from the stairs.
He looked up and saw a few nuns in light green shirts walking down the stairs of the inn.
"Senior Sister Yuxin, I heard that last night, Yaowangzhuang was burned to the ground by Chen Wushang... The Beihai Sword Sect is too much. I think they are more terrifying than any demons." One sixteen Said the seven-year-old girl.
Xu Dongqing silently clenched the chopsticks, her face turned pale.
A female cultivator with a stern face, about twenty-seven, reprimanded in a low voice: "Yuzhu, don't talk nonsense! Have you seen what the demons look like?"
"Junior Sister, Elder Sister is right. There are many people here, so it's better not to talk about it." Another female cultivator tugged on Yuzhu's sleeve.
"Oh." Yuzhu secretly stuck out her tongue, she didn't seem too convinced.
Qiu Yutong had already recognized them. He had seen these female cultivators when he was in Yaowang Village. It seems to be... a female cultivator of Qingxia Temple? Where is their master
Several female cultivators sat down at a nearby table, ordered two pots of tea, and ordered some light vegetarian dishes. While waiting for the food, the junior sister Yuzhu chattered again, but she didn't dare to bring up the matter of Yaowangzhuang and Beihai School, and started talking about other gossips: "You said, has Master and her old man gone to the Blood Prison Valley?"
The senior sister Yuxin snorted coldly: "Master is very powerful, and he left with the sword early in the morning, so he will naturally arrive at this time."
"Hey, I heard that Master Wuchen of Nanshan Temple still has more than a dozen jade plaques left. I don't know how many jade plaques we can keep for Qingxia Guan?"
"Master and Master Wuchen are old friends, no matter what, you have to leave five for us?"
"It's hard to say, there are too few passing jade cards, maybe it's our turn, there are only two or three, or only one master."
"By the way, I heard yesterday that 8,000 spirit stones have been sold for this passing jade token on the black market..."
"Really?! Eight thousand spirit stones? Then you can buy a small mountain!"
"That's not true. The Blood Prison Secret Realm is very lively this time. It is said that some unearthed heavenly treasure has come to the world. Everyone wants to try their luck!"
"Heavenly Secret Treasure? I think it's a lie!"
"All the powers of the Quartet have rushed to the Blood Prison Valley, can there be any fakes? Those rumors are nothing more than that, but City Master Xie, Master Wuchen, Palace Master Lin, Gui... Gui Island Master, they all arrived at the Blood Prison Valley, Just waiting for the secret realm to open. If not for the secret treasure, what else could it be for?"
Qiu Yutong was taken aback for a moment, is the senior brother out of the gate? Also went to Blood Hell Valley
"Yeah, I heard that Shuo Xuecheng came out in full force this time. Except for City Lord Xie, Peak Master Bai and Peak Master Sang all went, and brought many second-generation disciples with them. Beihai Sword Sect and Nanshan Temple will probably also Bringing a lot of people. Well, they have four major sects, and each faction has twenty jade medals, so enviable."
"There's nothing to envy. The secret realm is so dangerous. If you give me the jade token for nothing, I won't go."
"Tch, who would give you a jade token for nothing? Could it be that you look beautiful?"
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Several young female cultivators started laughing while talking. The elder sister coughed several times before they stuck out their tongues and calmed down.
Lu Xiao frowned, looked up at Qiu Yutong, and said in a low voice, "Master, what should we do?"
"I didn't expect this to happen." Qiu Yutong had a headache and couldn't help rubbing her temples, "How about we go to Blood Prison Valley? Let me show you the pulse first, and when they enter the valley, we will go back to Shuoxue Shuo Xuecheng, find some miraculous medicines to heal your wounds... If you can practice, Shuo Xuecheng also has some medicines to dredge the meridians."
Lu Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That's very good."
Qiu Yutong hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the next table, and asked softly: "This Yuzhu girl, I want to ask..."
Yuzhu turned her head and was taken aback for a moment, but the senior sister Yuxin had already glared at her and said, "Yuzhu, don't talk to him!"
Before Qiu Yutong could react, Yuxin glared at him again: "Deng Tuzi!"
"Dengtuzi?" Qiu Yutong blinked his eyes inexplicably. He just wanted to find out how to get to Blood Prison Valley. Why did he become a Dengtuzi
Lu Xiao pursed his lips, as if holding back a smile.
Xu Dongqing coughed lightly: "Mr. Qiu, I think it might be your two beards..."
beard? When did he have a beard? Qiu Yutong touched his upper lip in a daze, and only then did he realize that when he was changing his appearance, Lu Xiao not only painted his face yellow, but also cut a bit of his hair and gave him two goatee beards! Although this is foolproof, it's really a bit... wretched.
And that villain, the culprit, is laughing at him!
Lu Xiao quickly pursed his lips to hold back his laughter, tried his best to straighten his face, and comforted him very seriously: "Master, it's okay, it's not ugly."
Qiu Yutong glared at him resentfully, and stuffed a big mouthful of mung bean cake into his mouth angrily.
…
After eating, the waiter led the three of them to the door of the guest room on the second floor.
"I'm really sorry. There are only two rooms in our shop tonight. Three guests, why don't you squeeze in a little bit? By the way, if the guests want to take a bath, there are hot water and bathtubs in the store. Call me Just one word will do." The waiter said courteously.
