Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 238 Suspicious Clouds
When Xin Ziqiu saw that the two top powerhouses were so solemn, an ominous premonition arose in his heart, and he hurriedly asked:

"Seniors, what is going on, can you tell me the details?"

Lu Dongbin raised his eyebrows lightly and said:

"As Xiaoyou Xin knows, after the Four Elephants and Liuhe Prison Formation was broken, Pindao and Zhongli Daoists brought everyone back from the ancient tomb, including the four alchemists who were still alive.

"These people have done a lot of absurd things. Although they have guarded the ancient tomb for more than a thousand years for the human race, their merits and demerits are equal, but the poor Taoist is still worried about them, so he brought these four people to Longhu Mountain. Act as restraint and discipline.

"However, in the past few months, the four alchemists have behaved very well and showed repentance. Therefore, the mages of Longhu Mountain did not deprive them of their freedom and allowed them to practice in the mountain. As a result, half a month ago, they actually Seeing the opportunity, they went down the mountain privately and ran away secretly. When the mages of Tianshi Dao found out, these people had already fled to the capital.

"Nowadays, Taoism is prosperous, especially His Majesty the Son of Heaven believes in gods. Several alchemists showed a little bit of skill, and they were respected as honored guests. Now they are arranged in the Taiyi Palace in the west of Beijing, where they are enshrined by the royal family and pampered. helpless.

"Originally, if it was just like this, these people would have a good home. As long as they cultivate their moral character and don't cause trouble, it's okay to be greedy for glory and wealth. But who knew that they were attacked last night, and there was a victim named Gou Bi He was seriously injured, and it is said that several treasures were lost, but the murderer came and went without a trace, and no one knew his identity.

"Although this matter is not big, there are many strange and strange things in it. After thinking about it, I still feel that we should investigate to find out the truth. But..."

Seeing what he said next, Xin Ziqiu hesitated to speak, and said with a smile:
"However, the two seniors are too famous. If they show up to investigate this matter publicly, they will definitely scare the murderer away and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. That's why they came to me."

Zhong Liquan said with a smile:
"Xin Xiaoyou is right. It is really inconvenient for the two of us to come forward. Moreover, there are many capable people in Taiyi Palace, and there are restrictions. It is also a royal garden. If we keep using our divine sense to probe forcibly, it will be suspected of spying on people's privacy. , It doesn't look good on the face of the court.

"It just so happens that Xiaoyou Xin returned to the human world at this time. I know that you are extremely smart, upright and open-minded, and a trustworthy friend, so I want to ask you for favors. I would like to trouble you and go to Taiyi Palace to find out. Of course, Pindao and Chunyang Zhenren can help you in the dark."

It was really hard for Xin Ziqiu to shirk the two respected old seniors who came to ask him to do something in person. Besides, he was going to take back the City of Disillusionment from the alchemists, so that he could fulfill Wang Xuanfu's last wish and use it to subdue the Assassin Cult.

The most important thing is that he felt the weirdness of this matter, smelled the taste of conspiracy, and was very curious in his heart, so he agreed without hesitation, and then expressed his doubts in his heart:

"Forgive me, junior. As far as I know, several alchemists are true immortals. There should be only a handful of people in this world who can hurt them. Did the two seniors have any speculation in their minds, but it was the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain? "

Lu Dongbin shook his head and said:
"This is where the weirdness of this matter lies. The four alchemists have survived several times to continue their lives. Although their strength is far from that of a true Dao Embryo True Immortal, they at least have the strength of a mid-to-high-level Earth Immortal. Can be compared with the four of them It is not an easy task for people to work together to hurt others and seize treasures, and still come and go freely without even revealing their true colors.

"Pin Dao is also quite familiar with the Tao of Heavenly Masters. Except for Mr. Xu Jing who has passed away, there is no such master among the high-level mages. In the whole world, there are only a few people who can have such a cultivation level. But if it is said that these people will do such a sneak attack for a few treasures, Pindao will definitely not believe it."

Xin Ziqiu nodded. His EQ has soared during this time, and he has been able to understand Lu Dongbin's subtext, so he said:
"Senior came to me specifically because he suspected that this matter was done by a certain 'walker'?"

Lu Dongbin was a little embarrassed:
"It's really much easier to talk to a smart person like Xin Xiaoyou. That's right, I have lived for hundreds of years and know all the masters in the world very well. I really can't think of anyone who can do such a thing, so I thought Ask my friend for proof. In the prison cage formation, we all saw a few powerful practitioners with our own eyes. In your opinion, is it possible for them to do this?"

Xin Ziqiu pursed his lips, pondered for a while and said:

"Senior, the walkers you saw either died or left this world, so they are definitely not them. But there are indeed powerful walkers here, and this junior knows one, but to be honest, that The strength of this position is far beyond our imagination, if he makes a move, there is no need for a sneak attack, and he will definitely not be left alive, the junior believes that it will not be him. As for whether other walkers will make a move, it is unknown."

Lu Dongbin was taken aback:
"This...Since this is the case, I invite Xiaoyou Xin to go and investigate."

Xin Ziqiu smiled slightly:
"Since the two seniors are destined, the younger generation will naturally do their part, but tomorrow morning, I have to report to the yamen first, and then I will go to the Taiyi Palace to have a look. In fact, in my opinion, there may be something hidden about this matter. "

Lu Dongbin asked:
"Xin Xiaoyou means..."

Xin Ziqiu shrugged:

"I think the alchemists may be playing tricks on their own, but it's too early to draw conclusions. You have to go and see for yourself. It's just that the junior has a low level of cultivation, and facing the alchemists alone is a bit uncertain. I also ask the two seniors to give me some means of self-defense."

Lu Dongbin nodded:
"That's how it should be. If the alchemists are really playing tricks, it would be a bit dangerous for you to go alone."

As he spoke, he thought for a while, then took out a two-inch long jade sword from his pocket, handed it to Xin Ziqiu and said:
"This small sword was refined by me. Within thirty steps, it can kill an earth immortal, and within ten steps, it can also hurt a real immortal. Just hold it, and when you need it, use it to stimulate it with real energy. When guided by the divine mind, it will kill the immortal." Yes. But this thing consumes a lot of energy, with your current cultivation base, you can only use it twice a day, after each activation, you have to rest and recover for a period of time before you can continue to use it, otherwise it will damage the Dao Foundation."

Xin Ziqiu felt the pure yang sword energy above, and knew that it was a special token of Lu Dongbin, so he took it carefully and put it in the treasure bag.

Zhong Liquan also said:

"Xin Xiaoyou, don't worry. Although it is inconvenient for the two of you to monitor the Taiyi Palace with your spiritual thoughts, if you activate the flying sword of Master Chunyang, we will definitely arrive in one breath. We will never let you go." something happened."

Xin Ziqiu was assured by the two strongest men at the time, and he was relieved.

His innate infinite power and thunder method are extremely powerful, and he still has a lot of hole cards. Even if the alchemists really attack him, he may not be so vulnerable, but with Lu Dongbin's magic weapon of flying sword, he will have The method of countermeasures, Taiyi Gong and his party are more confident.

After dealing with this matter, the three of them continued to talk at night by candlelight. Xin Ziqiu had just mastered his spiritual cultivation, and he had a lot of cultivation questions in his mind to ask the two immortals.
