Confucian Sword Fairy
Chapter 86 Lockdown
Chapter 86 Lockdown
Without any hesitation, Chen Jingyun directly bowed in front of everyone.
Especially the word 'sir' in his mouth is extremely solemn, and he even calls himself a student, just like paying homage to a teacher.
This scene surprised Lin Cheng and others who were present. They didn't understand why Mr. Chen made such a sudden move, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"Why is this, Mr. Chen?"
Song Zhishu immediately walked forward and helped him up, guessing that Chen Jingyun might know his identity, but even so, shouldn't he behave like a Confucian disciple?
The influence of Taihao Sword Sect is very great, and there are not many forces in the whole world that can match it, but there is no relationship between the two parties.
So Song Zhishu didn't understand in his heart, and there was a question in his words.
"Mr. Song doesn't know something."
Chen Jingyun got up, but still cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "Students have been studying for many years, but they have not comprehended the principles of Confucianism for a long time, so that they have been stuck in the third level of entry and cannot make progress. Fortunately, Mr. Song was chanting in Taihao Sword School before. The Dao of the Great University arouses the sound of the heavens and the earth, descends the literary energy from the sky, and only after realizing some truths can one enter the holy realm of knowledge. Mr. Song taught me the truths, and I benefited from them, so I should perform this disciple ceremony."
Apparently he already knew Song Zhishu's identity completely, and he also understood that this was the person who recited the Way of University in that Taihao Sword Sect.
And why he saluted, Chen Jingyun explained very clearly, it was because of that that he entered the holy realm of knowledge.
In Confucianism, since you have realized some truths from others.
It's perfectly fine to call yourself a student.
When Song Zhishu heard the words, he also remembered the vision of heaven and earth caused when he recited the Dao of the University, and couldn't help but smile: "That was just my unintentional act. Mr. Chen's benefit depends entirely on himself, and it has nothing to do with me."
"That's not the case." Chen Jingyun was very serious, and said again: "Heavenly descended from the literary spirit, not only me, but all the Confucian scholars who have benefited from it can call themselves students in front of you."
If it weren't for that literary spirit descending from the sky, maybe I still stay in the third level of entry, how can I reach Zhishen?
Chen Jingyun is very clear about this, he cultivates Confucianism and Taoism, and he should keep the word 'ritual' in his heart.
"This"
Song Zhishu really didn't know what to say.
Brother Lu Ming also benefited from Mingyue Academy before, and he also behaved like this afterwards.
He knew that there was nothing wrong with Chen Jingyun's behavior, but it further showed that the other party was a scholar in the true sense.
In the end, Song Zhishu didn't say any more, because if it were him, he would do the same.
The conversation between the two was also heard by Lin Cheng and the others.
They knew that Song Zhishu was a Confucian scholar, and his identity was not simple, but from what Chen Jingyun said just now, the three of them couldn't help but focus on Song Zhishu at this moment, and their expressions were even more shocked.
Taihao Jianzong, the vision of heaven and earth, Song Zhishu, this has made them fully understand.
"Song Daoyou is that Song Zhishu of Taihao Sword Sect?"
"The Song Zhishu who caused the vision of heaven and earth?"
"That Song Zhishu who fights against injustice and beats the drums for all the low-level disciples of Taihao Sword Sect?"
The three spoke one sentence, their voices kept rising, from shock at the beginning to sincere admiration at the end.
No wonder a token can enter the city lord's mansion, no wonder the city lord is so polite.
Lin Cheng looked at Song Zhishu, his eyes were filled with astonishment, and there was even a hint of disbelief in his eyes. They guessed that Song Zhishu's identity came from a family sect, but they never thought that that sect was actually Taihao Sword Sect, one of the top three in the world. One of Jianzong.
"The three fellow Taoists also know me?" Song Zhishu was a little confused when he heard what they said.
That time, the vision of heaven and earth was elicited, and he knew that he might make a big fuss, and many people would know about it.
But it never occurred to him that even casual cultivators knew about the matter of beating drums to appeal for grievances. Song Zhishu was naturally surprised.
"Sure, Song Zhishu of the Taihao Sword Sect was unfair. He went to the Law Enforcement Hall angrily, sounded the grievance drum, and denounced the reform. These things have already been spread. Although we are casual cultivators, we have heard many details."
Lin Cheng spoke with excitement in his words, especially when he looked at Song Zhishu with reverence.
If it was said that he only respected Song Zhishu for his strength before, now he sincerely admires him.
In the body of a handyman disciple, he has the courage to fight against the upper echelon of Taihao Sword Sect.
How many people in this world can do such a move?
Wang Chong and Li Xiansong didn't know what to say. Thinking that one day they would be able to slay monsters with Taihao Jianzong Song Zhishu, and then speaking out would definitely arouse the envy of many people.
"Friend Daoist Lin is absurd."
Song Zhishu never thought that he would still have such a reputation outside, he cupped his hands slightly: "There is no Song Zhishu of the Taihao Sword Sect, I am just like a few fellow Taoists, and now I am just a casual cultivator of Song Zhishu."
I have already chosen to leave Taihao Sword Sect, so of course I can no longer use this name, it is completely fine to say that I am a loose cultivator.
Taking out the sword order before was also because it was related to monsters, and it was also a helpless move not to be careless.
"Song Daoyou is modest."
Lin Cheng immediately returned the gift, a little flattered.
At the same time, I admire Song Zhishu in front of me even more. Even if his identity is known, he is still the same as before, without any sense of distance.
The other two also slightly bowed their hands, and now they really can't treat them as usual as before.
Song Zhishu understood that this matter might not be bypassed, so he immediately changed the subject: "The most important thing now is the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation left by the demon. I think something big may happen in the near future, and City Lord Qiu will also Learn something more from us."
"So we still don't want to leave in the near future. In addition to ensuring our own safety, another point is to improve our strength as much as possible."
Whether it is Song Zhishu or other people present, they all heard about the strength of the demon from other people or elders.
No one has seen the real monster, but they all know the danger in their hearts.
Otherwise, even a figure like Qingzhou City Lord would not have reacted like that.
"We understand. Please don't worry, fellow Daoist Song. If you have any ideas in the future, you must ask fellow Daoist Song for advice." Lin Cheng nodded immediately, as if he had already regarded Zhishu Song as the leader. When deciding what to do, he first listened to the other party's opinion.
"It's the same for us." Wang Chong, Li Xiansong and the others nodded, approving this very much.
This is the effect of fame.
"Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun made a sound, cupped his hands slightly, and then said: "Mr. Song recited the way of the university, and there is the principle of a gentleman. The Confucian disciples in Qingzhou Academy admire you very much. If there is a chance, I hope that Mr. Song can come to my Qingzhou Academy Once there, I think the teachers and the gentlemen of the academy will sweep the couch to welcome you."
Before, he wanted to discuss some principles of Confucianism with Song Zhishu, but now it is different, and he wants to invite him to Qingzhou Academy.
The way of the university arouses the sound of heaven and earth, and many Confucian scholars are painstakingly studying the truth.
If you can invite Song Zhishu to Qingzhou Academy, it will definitely cause strong reactions.
As for Mr. Chen Jingyun, he is the dean of Qingzhou Academy.
"must."
When Song Zhishu heard the words, he understood that the kindness was difficult to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
In particular, I also have the idea in my heart to go to some academies to see how they are different from Mingyue Academy, which can be regarded as a kind of knowledge and practice.
"Thank you, Mr. Song." Chen Jingyun was overjoyed when he got the answer, and bowed again.
"Okay, we are still at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. If there is anything else to go back, we can discuss it in detail." Song Zhishu said, feeling that it is not good to stand in front of the public and talk, especially if this is still in the City Lord's Mansion, it will attract attention.
"That's right, let's go back first." Lin Cheng and the others finally realized that they were a little excited just now, but forgot where they were.
Immediately, the few people stopped talking and walked towards the inn quickly.
Song Zhishu was helpless, knowing that there might be a lot of things to explain today, but it was nothing, just happened to have some things to explain clearly.
At the same time, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Qiu, what's going on? Why did you find the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation in Qingzhou?" Master Mo was puzzled after waiting for Song Zhishu and others to leave. After all, this matter is too important to be ignored.
"I don't know either. It's clear that there are monsters in Jinzhou, but the Tianfeng Demon Formation is in the Qingyun Mountains."
Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, also frowned tightly, and couldn't figure it out, so he could only say in the end: "It's important, Brother Mo, I can only trouble you to lead the team to Yuhua Mountain to find the traces of the Fengtian Demon Formation, and I will do it too." Go and inform Taihao Sword Sect that there are treacherous demons and the Heavenly Sacred Sect leading the way, this matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, with me in Qingzhou, if there is a problem at that time, I will definitely not be able to stop it."
Since the last battle in Beizhou, after some demons fled in chaos, the famous families all over the world were looking for traces of demons, but they found nothing.
Until finally, monsters appeared in Jinzhou, which attracted most of the attention, and all the immortal sects sent people to investigate the situation.
Even Qiu Qianhe was called by Taihao Sword Sect to contribute, but he never thought that just after communicating with the major forces in the city, something happened in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is the closest to Taihao Sword Sect, so he felt it was necessary to inform .
Because if there really are monsters, they can't deal with them with their own strength, and the only way is for Taihao Sword Sect to send out strong men.
But Qiu Qianhe still didn't understand what the demons and Tianshengjiao were planning.
It can only be said to investigate clearly first, and then react.
"In the world of demons and monsters, my generation of monks should be obliged. Brother Qiu, don't worry, I will definitely find out." Master Mo said, nodding and agreeing without hesitation. In fact, even if Qiu Qianhe hadn't asked, he would definitely go to find out.
In the last battle of Beizhou, the heavy losses failed to stop the monsters from sneaking into the interior. If they were not dealt with in time, it would cause catastrophe.
"Thank you, Brother Mo." Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianhe cupped his hands slightly, thanking him for his background.
Immediately, the two chatted for a few more words, and then acted separately.
Qiu Qianhe not only wanted to notify Taihao Sword Sect, but also the Great Zhou Dynasty, because he had a suspicion in his heart that the accident in Jinzhou was just a plan of the demon, and the real target was not Jinzhou.
If this is the case, doing this is taking precautions, and even follow the clues to find an Old Demon.
However, under the circumstances that have not yet been confirmed, it is not appropriate to make a public announcement for fear of causing riots.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion is still the same as usual, without any changes.
In the middle of the night, the stars are shining brightly.
Inside a guest room of Yunlingzhai.
Lin Cheng and the others had already left, and they chatted a lot, of course it was all about Song Zhishu, and Song Zhishu also learned about it, because of the matter of the law enforcement hall, there are more people in the world who know themselves than imagined. Especially the act of angrily denouncing injustice not only won the support of low-level disciples, but more importantly, it was also recognized by many casual cultivators.
The reason is very simple, Song Zhishu is for the bottom of the Taihao Sword Sect, and the situation of these people is not much better than that of casual cultivators.
There are injustices everywhere, but not many people dare to speak out.
This also allowed him to gain fame in casual cultivation.
The way of the university is even more remarkable, which makes the heaven and the earth lower their literary spirit, which benefits scholars below the level of a gentleman, and some people use it to break through the realm of Confucianism.
Song Zhishu did not think of these things. No wonder Mr. Gu Yun and Mr. Wen Yuan said that scholars all over the world should thank themselves.
Of course, Song Zhishu also hoped that Lin Cheng and the others would not spread the word before they left.
As I said before, the current self is just a casual cultivator.
There is no need to borrow the name of Taihao Sword Sect anymore.
As for other things, Song Zhishu didn't take it to heart, because everything was unintentional.
Although Lin Cheng and the others did not understand this, they nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Song Zhishu was sitting cross-legged in meditation, with his eyes slightly closed, wisps of heaven and earth spiritual energy emerged around him, all distracting thoughts were cleared away, and the mana in the spirit pool was constantly oscillating, but it had reached its limit and could not grow any longer.
After a long time, Song Zhishu opened his eyes and stopped meditating.
Then he turned his gaze to the table not far away, on which was a storage bag.
That was after Lin Cheng and the others left, he went to the Wanshi Pavilion and replaced all [-] spirit stones with Lingyuan Pills, a total of [-].
"If you want to break through the late stage of foundation establishment, only [-] Lingyuan Pills are definitely not enough. I need more, but now it is best not to go out to kill monsters at will. The appearance of the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation means that the hands of monsters may reach Qingzhou. Big things can happen at any moment."
Song Zhishu pondered and realized that monsters are not so easy to deal with. The Qingzhou Mountains may not be safe now, and it is best to stay in the city.
In addition, I am not far from breaking through the late stage of foundation establishment, and earning spirit stones by engraving gems is enough.
"The Heavenly Demon Formation left by the demon was found in the Qingyun Mountains, but judging from the conversation between City Lord Qiu and Master Mo, it seems that something happened in Jinzhou, so why?"
Thinking of monsters, Song Zhishu couldn't help but recall what he heard in the City Lord's Mansion today.
It turned out that not only Qingzhou, but even Jinzhou had an accident.
Jinzhou is located in the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, tens of thousands of miles away from Qingzhou. Monsters have been found in both places. Is there any connection?
Song Zhishu couldn't figure it out, because he knew too little information, but no matter what, there was one thing, the disaster of demons had started, and he couldn't do much, the most important thing was to improve his strength.
After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath, intending to refine all the spirit pills in front of him.
Maybe something big will happen soon, and before that, with more strength, you can have more means of self-protection.
Immediately, Song Zhishu did not hesitate, took out the Lingyuan Pill in the storage bag, and went on the drug-taking upgrade journey again.
But now there are more than 30 noble spirits in his body, so the speed of refining the spirit pills is faster than before, maintaining around [-] pills a day, but it will take nearly a month to refine all the spirit pills.
In this way, time passed bit by bit.
During this period of time, many people found that Qingzhou City was different from before.
The first is the Wanshi Pavilion. There are fewer and fewer tasks related to the Qingyun Mountains, and most of them are not dangerous.
Then the City Lord's Mansion issued an order that anyone who came to and from the city, regardless of monks or ordinary people, must undergo extremely strict inspections, and even invited scholars from Qingzhou Academy to help, which made many casual practitioners not understand.
What's more, many people have discovered that there are more and more powerful auras in the city, and the guards are stricter than before.
But other than that, nothing else has changed, and many people's lives continue as usual.
Of course, Song Zhishu is not clear about these things, and has been practicing in seclusion.
After the [-] Lingyuan Pills were refined, his cultivation was stronger than before, and he was not far from the late stage of foundation establishment. Moreover, Song Zhishu did not take time off to engrave the precious jade while using the sky Thunder bottle tempers the body so that the body can keep up with the speed of practice.
During this period, Lin Cheng and the others did not come to disturb him, and they must be improving their cultivation and strength.
Because Song Zhishu had previously explained that they should try not to go out during this period of time.
I'm making plans when there is official news from the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course they understand, because they are the few who know about the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation, and they will not choose to mess around.
Furthermore, according to Song Zhishu's estimation, the harvest from the last trip to Yuhua Mountain should be enough for them to use for a while.
And after a full month and a half.
Lin Cheng and others finally showed up to visit.
Yunlingzhai, in the guest room.
The four figures sat down together, with a cup of spiritual tea in front of each of them.
"It seems that the three fellow Taoists have gained a lot this month." Song Zhishu sat in the first place and looked at the crowd with a smile on his face.
Lin Cheng in front of him was full of breath and mana. He was almost at the middle stage of foundation establishment. He even changed his outfit, especially his eyes revealed confidence. As for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong, they actually directly established the foundation during this period of time. Success, the strength has risen a lot.
It's only been a month, but the three of them are not what they used to be. Song Zhishu is naturally happy for them.
"It all depends on you, Song Daoyou. If you hadn't made a move on Yuhua Mountain, how would the three of us have what we are today?"
Lin Cheng smiled, then took out a storage bag from his sleeve, and said again: "There are [-] spirit stones in it, and I can take it as a thank you from the rest of us. Don't refuse, Fellow Daoist Wang Song."
"That's right, it's our wish. Fellow Daoist Song must be under your command." Li Xiansong beside him also spoke.
Encountered monsters in the late stage of foundation establishment on Yuhua Mountain, without Song Zhishu, the three of them could not return.
In addition, because of that harvest, their strength has been greatly improved.
So in their eyes, they must thank Song Zhishu.
And this was something the three of them had thought about before, because there were not many spirit stones at that time, so they buried it in their hearts.
"That's not right, [-] spirit stones are too much." Although Song Zhishu also lacked spirit stones, he also knew the situation of the three of them, they were just casual cultivators.
"Song Daoyou, although we are casual cultivators, we also know what to do. The trip to Yuhua Mountain can be regarded as a business, but you rescued it at a critical moment. Take it out as a thank you."
Lin Cheng opened his mouth with a serious tone: "Besides, Daoyou Song hasn't gone out recently, so I don't know. Wanshi Pavilion recently released some tasks, and the rewards are very generous. We have not only been practicing for more than a month, but also done several tasks, so you There's no need to give up."
"Going out to do a mission?" Hearing this, Song Zhishu frowned. He had explained it before, but he didn't think that the three of them still didn't listen.
"Song Daoyou first listen to our explanation."
Li Xiansong was careful, and immediately said: "The tasks issued by Wanshi Pavilion are basically in the city, so the danger is not very great. We listened to your words and did not leave the city."
This sentence made Song Zhishu even more puzzled, and he couldn't help saying: "I probably know a little bit about the missions in the city. Although it is not dangerous, it will not have any income."
The three of them shot directly to [-] spirit stones. Even if there were some left over from last time, it was still a huge number.
But looking at them, they didn't really care about them, so Song Zhishu naturally couldn't understand.
"We don't know the specific reason. The Wanshi Pavilion issued an announcement half a month ago, which directly increased the reward by a large amount. Now many casual cultivators in the city are rushing to grab the task." Lin Cheng opened his mouth and explained the reason, saying that it was the Wanshi Pavilion Increased the reward a lot, but don't understand why.
Of course, these are not very important to these casual cultivators, the important thing is that they can bring a lot of income.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Cheng and the others were able to take out [-] spirit stones each.
Increase mission rewards.
Why is this move a bit like the previous Jianzong reform?
After Song Zhishu heard it, he frowned slightly, and immediately asked again: "Is there any movement in the City Lord's Mansion?"
The city lord's mansion is in charge of a city, so such a change must be related to it, and since the last time he left from where, the city lord Qiu has never looked for them again, which is strange, so I want to know more news.
"Not really."
Lin Cheng thought for a while, and then said: "However, Fellow Daoist Song, we found that many monks have come to Qingzhou City recently, and most of them are not casual cultivators. There are sects and aristocratic families. You can meet them on the road. There are even more uncommon alchemy-level cultivators, which is very strange, we have lived in Qingzhou City for a while, but we have never met one."
"Yeah, and the defenses in the city have been strengthened, and you have to show your identity when you enter and exit, so the three of us speculate whether this has something to do with the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation we encountered last time." Li Xiansong opened his mouth and expressed the thoughts in the hearts of the three of them.
After all, this series of things happened very suddenly, and there was no warning before.
"I'm afraid something will happen."
After Song Zhishu heard it, his expression changed slightly: "The defense is strengthened again, and the disciples of the aristocratic family are entering. I think City Lord Qiu may have a premonition that something will happen, or maybe it is not a premonition, but it is already happening."
As soon as this remark came out, the three people present were shocked. They were just guessing before, but because they didn't have a reliable source of information, they couldn't be sure. Now that they heard Song Zhishu speak, they finally believed that something might really happen. The reason lies in the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation Stone discovered by several people before.
Song Zhishu looked at the three of them, pondered for a while, and then said again: "Looking at the current situation, I believe that there may be some movement in the City Lord's Mansion in a short time, and it is not small. At that time, we are afraid that we will have to face the demon directly."
My guess is actually well-founded. Wanshi Pavilion will not increase task rewards for no reason when doing business.
So it is very likely that they want to improve the strength of some monks in the city in a short period of time.
In this way, when it comes to dealing with monsters later on, there will be more power. At the same time, the major families and sects have also sent people here, in order to strengthen the power of Qingzhou City, just like the Taihao Sword. Zong, the demons in Beizhou were in turmoil, and related tasks were also released.
That's why Song Zhishu had such a guess, because apart from demons, Qingzhou City would not have such a big change.
"Facing the demon?"
When the three of them heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
They have practiced for decades, and have seen many monsters, but they have never touched them.
For several people, monsters are scary, but they have no idea how scary they are. It is an unknown fear.
"Then Daoist Song, should we leave Qingzhou first?" Wang Chong said. Since he knew that something big might happen, the best choice now is to temporarily leave Qingzhou, a place of right and wrong.
After all, I am just a little foundation-building cultivator, and I will leave as soon as I leave, and I will not hide the overall situation.
Lin Cheng was also silent. He found out that there was nothing wrong with the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation before, but he might have to face the monsters directly later, so he was naturally worried.
"I'm afraid it's too late. The upper echelons of Qingzhou have already made arrangements. Obviously, the situation may have become a little serious."
Song Zhishu shook his head slightly. If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for City Lord Qiu not to reveal any information, not to mention that people from various sects came here, definitely to accumulate more power to fight against the demons.
As for the three people's thoughts, Song Zhishu was clear, so he said again: "As for whether to go or not, you make your own decision, but I must stay. In the world of demons and demons, as a monk of the human race, it is imperative. Can you guarantee that there will be no escape next time?"
He expressed his attitude, because he was really curious about monsters in his heart and wanted to see them. After all, the world will be chaotic no matter what, so it is better to know in advance, so that he will have experience in dealing with crises in the future.
Of course Song Zhishu didn't give them any advice, but let them choose for themselves.
Even if you decide to go, it's nothing, it's human nature.
"Song Daoyou is right. In the troubled world of monsters, you may be able to survive the world if you just leave, but what about next time? So I want to stay." The silent Lin Cheng spoke very seriously, saying that he would not leave, and he didn't know that he was like this It's not right to do it, but reason tells me that I should stay.
"So do we. Even if we can't do anything, we still have to do our best." Wang Chong and Li Xiansong also decided.
The three of them had known each other for more than ten years, and since one of them stayed, they shouldn't leave either.
Demons are terrible, but what is even more terrible is that people lose their hearts.
Seeing them make a decision with a solemn look on their faces, Zhishu Song smiled: "In fact, you don't have to worry too much. If there are really powerful demons, there will naturally be powerful monks to resist them. When we are used, we shouldn't be too worried. It would be dangerous."
When the sky fell, there was a tall man holding it up.
It's not that the upper echelons will let the monks at the lower echelons die. First, it's unnecessary, and second, it won't change the situation if they do it.
This can be seen from the fact that the aristocratic families of various sects came to Qingzhou City.
"Song Daoyou is right."
Lin Cheng nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
Then the three chatted for a while, and they all said that they should improve their strength as much as possible in a short time.
But before they left, they still wanted to leave the [-] spirit stones, and Song Zhishu must accept them.
Song Zhishu had no choice but to agree.
Before long, he was alone in the room.
Song Zhishu looked at the 1 spirit stones in front of him and fell into deep thought: "Something is going to happen after all, but why did this monster choose Qingzhou? The Taihao Sword Sect is [-] miles away. Doing so will not provoke the Taihao Sword Sect!" anger?"
He still didn't understand this, and in the end he stopped thinking about it, and after thinking for a while, he took the spirit stone in his hand and left.
No matter what, the most important thing now is to improve his strength, and he has these spirit stones in hand.
Song Zhishu believes that he can go straight to the later stage of foundation establishment.
The streets of Qingzhou City are bustling with traffic, and everyone is in a hurry.
As Lin Cheng and others said before, there are many more monks than before, and foundation-building monks can be seen everywhere, and he even saw some sect disciples in groups dressed in the same service coming and going.
But the street seems lively, but for some reason there is a sense of depression. It seems that everyone has something on their minds.
"Looking at the situation, it won't be long before the City Lord's Mansion will respond."
Song Zhishu pondered, although no specific news has been revealed yet, but it is obvious that some monks have already had a premonition. The reason for hiding the news of the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation before is to avoid causing riots and plan secretly.
And after more than a month, the City Lord's Mansion probably has everything planned and is just waiting for the final announcement.
Or maybe the wind has been revealed in the dark, so that some monks in the city are ready in advance.
Song Zhishu sighed slightly, without saying much, walked straight to Wanshi Pavilion.
About half an hour later.
In the elegant room of Wanshi Pavilion.
The girl in blue brought a pot of spirit tea and poured it into a cup: "Shangxian Song, we are already preparing the spirit pills you want. You are a distinguished guest of our Wanshi Pavilion, so we have prepared five hundred spirit pills for you this time." Yuan Dan."
"So many?" Song Zhishu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Isn't the price of Lingyuan Dan a hundred spirit stones? Girl in blue, don't tell me it's just because I have a guest card."
Five hundred Lingyuan pills are equivalent to fifty thousand spirit stones. Can Wanshi Pavilion lose money in doing business like this?
"Where is Song Shangxian's words?"
The girl in blue bowed and smiled, and said again: "This is decided by the pavilion master, and it's only temporary. After a while, the price will return to its original state. Of course, Song Shangxian can't take this opportunity to buy more. Wanshi Pavilion will set a rough number based on everyone's cultivation and strength, and it will not work if it passes."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, that is, the things in Wanshi Pavilion are indeed cheap, but they will only last for a short period of time.
At the same time, you can't buy more, otherwise, if someone comes out with 100 million spirit stones, should you accept it or not?
"Wanshi Pavilion's business is so big, it will definitely not be a loss-making business."
When Song Zhishu heard this, he paused and said again: "So there must be a reason for this. Can the girl in blue tell me a little bit? Of course, if it's inconvenient, I won't force it."
Wanshi Pavilion's actions are too abnormal. It is to increase the task rewards and reduce the prices of essential things such as medicine for cultivation. How can there be such a business, there must be tricks in it.
Song Zhishu actually had a rough guess in his mind, but he still wanted to make sure.
Next to her, the girl in blue lowered her head, hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Song Shangxian must not go out of the city casually recently, and once he leaves the city, he will not come back for a while. To be honest, something big may happen recently. I don’t know much about the news.”
Her voice was very solemn, saying what she knew.
Song Zhishu also understood that the girl in blue probably knew this, after all, she was just a manager, and it was impossible for her to have access to news from higher levels.
Immediately, he stood up and cupped his hands slightly: "Thank you for letting me know, Miss, I understand."
"Shangxian Song is very polite."
The girl in blue returned the salute, and she was able to speak because Song Zhishu's recent business in Wanshi Pavilion had brought some benefits to herself, and seeing that Song Zhishu was a nice person and had no airs, she just said it.
Afterwards, the two did not speak, which made the atmosphere in the private room somewhat dull.
And not long after, someone sent Lingyuan Pills, five hundred of them.
After Song Zhishu confirmed it was correct, he handed over again and left Wanshi Pavilion.
"It must be a demon, and it must be very serious. Wanshige directly started a loss-making business, and the monks in the city must have received orders to plan ahead, but who made the decision to make Wanshige obey? "
On the way back, Song Zhishu kept thinking, thinking that City Lord Qiu would definitely not have such energy.
Although the other party is a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm, the Wanshi Pavilion is not simple.
Qingzhou is just one of the branches. Even the pavilion master here cannot make such a decision. It must be the big hand of a higher-level powerhouse, and even the Wanshi Pavilion has to obey.
He didn't know who made such a decision, but he had a feeling of déjà vu.
soon.
Song Zhishu returned to the inn, but he didn't go directly into the room and observed carefully.
In the end, it was found that Yunlingzhai was overcrowded, and there seemed to be people in the compartments. The monks who came in and out were all good, and some of them were in the alchemy state, but other than that, no other news was heard.
Song Zhishu confirmed that there must have been demons in Qingzhou, and it must be very serious.
"Forget it, maybe I'll find out after a while."
Song Zhishu took a deep breath, knowing that this kind of thing would never be hidden for too long, and he couldn't guess anything by himself, so he walked directly into the room.
Put the [-] Lingyuan pills bought today on the table, but did not choose to refine immediately.
Instead, take out the pen and paper first, and silently write the doctrine of the mean.
I didn't sit cross-legged until my mind completely calmed down without any distracting thoughts.
"It takes half a month to refine all five hundred elixirs, which can help me directly break through the late stage of foundation establishment. I hope that during this period of time, it is best not to have any accidents." Song Zhishu looked at the elixirs in front of him with an extremely solemn expression.
A breakthrough is imminent, as long as you reach the late stage of foundation establishment, your strength will rise to a higher level.
At that time, he will also have the confidence to face the demon head-on.
After all, I am a perfect qi practitioner, different from ordinary people, in the later stage of foundation establishment, with a series of methods, I can directly fight against the alchemy realm.
Did not continue to think.
Song Zhishu chose to retreat again, refining the Lingyuan Pill, and then broke through in one fell swoop.
In this way, the days passed day by day, and as time passed, the atmosphere in the city seemed to become more depressing.
City Lord's Mansion, in the lobby.
Dozens of figures have gathered here, each of them has powerful mana and dignified expression.
A series of powerful auras converged towards them, and under the powerful pressure, the aura of the surrounding world continued to vibrate.
And each of these auras represents an existence of at least the late stage of Jindan, and even Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, is at the back at this moment.
"Everyone, since City Lord Qiu discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation in the Qingyun Mountains, after our inspections, we have discovered dozens of formation stones of the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation one after another. What is certain is that the target of the monsters this time is very It may be Qingzhou, the accident in Jinzhou before was just a trick used by demons."
"Not long ago, my Taihao Sword Sect sent people to Qingzhou to remove the formation stones in various places, so during this period, we must act carefully to prevent demons from making trouble."
Among the crowd, an old man spoke and looked at the crowd with a solemn voice. This old man was none other than Wang Pingan, the Lord of Taihao Sword Sect Mingyue.
On behalf of the Taihao Sword Sect, he came to Qingzhou City to deal with the monsters, and of course Wang Ping'an was not the only one.
The other elders and disciples of Taihao Sword Sect are also on their way.
"Brother Ping'an has already made it very clear. I believe you all know the seriousness of the matter. During the process of removing the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation Stone, Heavenly Saints and demons may come out to make trouble. Although I, Jinyi Tianwei, have already acted, I want to It’s still a bit difficult to do everything in detail.”
At this time, another middle-aged man came out. He was dressed in a black brocade official uniform, and his eyes were even more murderous.
He is the commander of Jinyi Tianwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the existence of Jinyi Tianwei is to deal with demon incidents.
"Master Fu, please rest assured that the Wanshi Pavilion will release some missions related to demons at that time, and help them from the sidelines. There are so many monks in the city, even if they can't deal with it, at least they can be contained." The Master of the Wanshi Pavilion said, this is what he said before. It has been decided.
In the lobby, people from other sects and aristocratic families also spoke one after another, asking their disciples to cooperate with Jinyi Tianwei and Wanshi Pavilion.
Because the demonic matter is of great importance, and they directly used the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation, no one will take it lightly.
"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you."
Elder Wang Pingan of Mingyue pressed his hand and continued: "I hope we can work together this time to deal with the enemy of monsters."
"Yes."
Everyone opened their mouths and bowed one after another, very respectful.
Master Fu noticed this scene, but he didn't speak.
Because these people present, except Dazhou Jinyi Tianwei, the other forces all followed the Taihao Sword Sect's call.
"Report."
At this time, a monk came in and said in a bowed voice, "Report to the City Master, seniors, lords, everything is ready."
This sentence made Wang Pingan and everyone look at each other, then nodded slightly, then Wang Pingan walked up to Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, and said slowly: "City lord Qiu, you can start."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe nodded, after preparing for so long, now it's time to fight back.
at the same time.
Yunlingzhai, in a guest room.
Song Zhishu's mana was constantly surging, emitting rays of light, making illusions come and go.
In the room, the aura of heaven and earth turned into a storm, making roaring sounds, like small thunderclaps exploding.
But in Song Zhishu's body, mana had been accumulated to the extreme, and the eighteen-inch spiritual pool vibrated, revealing wisps of thick power.
a moment.
Under the influx of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the spirit pool began to change and expand continuously, and finally reached a size of 27 inches, with more powerful and majestic power, swimming in every piece of flesh and limbs of Song Zhishu.
"Breakthrough, late foundation establishment."
Song Zhishu felt the powerful force in his body, opened his eyes immediately, and a bright light flashed across.
Although he only broke through a small realm, he was able to discover that his own strength had improved by more than one level, which was several times stronger than that in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
"I spent three hundred Lingyuan Pills, and it was not in vain."
Song Zhishu clenched his fist slightly, his mana was flowing, and he was very satisfied with his enhanced strength after breaking through.
It's a pity that if the next step is to achieve the completion of foundation establishment, it is estimated that at least [-] Lingyuan Pills will be needed. This number, even he can't help but shake his head. The more resources are needed in the end, it is almost beyond imagination up.
Without thinking too much, Song Zhishu got up, stretched his muscles and bones, and adapted to the strength of the later stage of foundation establishment.
After stopping to clean up the room, he continued to read the article and silently write the time of the mean.
He heard a knock on the door.
"Song Daoyou."
It was the voices of Lin Cheng and the others.
Seeing this, Song Zhishu immediately went forward to open the door, and was about to speak, but saw Lin Cheng and the three looked anxious. After they saw Song Zhishu, they didn't have time to salute, so they said directly: "Song Daoyou is not good, Qingzhou City. Sealed!"
(End of this chapter)
Without any hesitation, Chen Jingyun directly bowed in front of everyone.
Especially the word 'sir' in his mouth is extremely solemn, and he even calls himself a student, just like paying homage to a teacher.
This scene surprised Lin Cheng and others who were present. They didn't understand why Mr. Chen made such a sudden move, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"Why is this, Mr. Chen?"
Song Zhishu immediately walked forward and helped him up, guessing that Chen Jingyun might know his identity, but even so, shouldn't he behave like a Confucian disciple?
The influence of Taihao Sword Sect is very great, and there are not many forces in the whole world that can match it, but there is no relationship between the two parties.
So Song Zhishu didn't understand in his heart, and there was a question in his words.
"Mr. Song doesn't know something."
Chen Jingyun got up, but still cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "Students have been studying for many years, but they have not comprehended the principles of Confucianism for a long time, so that they have been stuck in the third level of entry and cannot make progress. Fortunately, Mr. Song was chanting in Taihao Sword School before. The Dao of the Great University arouses the sound of the heavens and the earth, descends the literary energy from the sky, and only after realizing some truths can one enter the holy realm of knowledge. Mr. Song taught me the truths, and I benefited from them, so I should perform this disciple ceremony."
Apparently he already knew Song Zhishu's identity completely, and he also understood that this was the person who recited the Way of University in that Taihao Sword Sect.
And why he saluted, Chen Jingyun explained very clearly, it was because of that that he entered the holy realm of knowledge.
In Confucianism, since you have realized some truths from others.
It's perfectly fine to call yourself a student.
When Song Zhishu heard the words, he also remembered the vision of heaven and earth caused when he recited the Dao of the University, and couldn't help but smile: "That was just my unintentional act. Mr. Chen's benefit depends entirely on himself, and it has nothing to do with me."
"That's not the case." Chen Jingyun was very serious, and said again: "Heavenly descended from the literary spirit, not only me, but all the Confucian scholars who have benefited from it can call themselves students in front of you."
If it weren't for that literary spirit descending from the sky, maybe I still stay in the third level of entry, how can I reach Zhishen?
Chen Jingyun is very clear about this, he cultivates Confucianism and Taoism, and he should keep the word 'ritual' in his heart.
"This"
Song Zhishu really didn't know what to say.
Brother Lu Ming also benefited from Mingyue Academy before, and he also behaved like this afterwards.
He knew that there was nothing wrong with Chen Jingyun's behavior, but it further showed that the other party was a scholar in the true sense.
In the end, Song Zhishu didn't say any more, because if it were him, he would do the same.
The conversation between the two was also heard by Lin Cheng and the others.
They knew that Song Zhishu was a Confucian scholar, and his identity was not simple, but from what Chen Jingyun said just now, the three of them couldn't help but focus on Song Zhishu at this moment, and their expressions were even more shocked.
Taihao Jianzong, the vision of heaven and earth, Song Zhishu, this has made them fully understand.
"Song Daoyou is that Song Zhishu of Taihao Sword Sect?"
"The Song Zhishu who caused the vision of heaven and earth?"
"That Song Zhishu who fights against injustice and beats the drums for all the low-level disciples of Taihao Sword Sect?"
The three spoke one sentence, their voices kept rising, from shock at the beginning to sincere admiration at the end.
No wonder a token can enter the city lord's mansion, no wonder the city lord is so polite.
Lin Cheng looked at Song Zhishu, his eyes were filled with astonishment, and there was even a hint of disbelief in his eyes. They guessed that Song Zhishu's identity came from a family sect, but they never thought that that sect was actually Taihao Sword Sect, one of the top three in the world. One of Jianzong.
"The three fellow Taoists also know me?" Song Zhishu was a little confused when he heard what they said.
That time, the vision of heaven and earth was elicited, and he knew that he might make a big fuss, and many people would know about it.
But it never occurred to him that even casual cultivators knew about the matter of beating drums to appeal for grievances. Song Zhishu was naturally surprised.
"Sure, Song Zhishu of the Taihao Sword Sect was unfair. He went to the Law Enforcement Hall angrily, sounded the grievance drum, and denounced the reform. These things have already been spread. Although we are casual cultivators, we have heard many details."
Lin Cheng spoke with excitement in his words, especially when he looked at Song Zhishu with reverence.
If it was said that he only respected Song Zhishu for his strength before, now he sincerely admires him.
In the body of a handyman disciple, he has the courage to fight against the upper echelon of Taihao Sword Sect.
How many people in this world can do such a move?
Wang Chong and Li Xiansong didn't know what to say. Thinking that one day they would be able to slay monsters with Taihao Jianzong Song Zhishu, and then speaking out would definitely arouse the envy of many people.
"Friend Daoist Lin is absurd."
Song Zhishu never thought that he would still have such a reputation outside, he cupped his hands slightly: "There is no Song Zhishu of the Taihao Sword Sect, I am just like a few fellow Taoists, and now I am just a casual cultivator of Song Zhishu."
I have already chosen to leave Taihao Sword Sect, so of course I can no longer use this name, it is completely fine to say that I am a loose cultivator.
Taking out the sword order before was also because it was related to monsters, and it was also a helpless move not to be careless.
"Song Daoyou is modest."
Lin Cheng immediately returned the gift, a little flattered.
At the same time, I admire Song Zhishu in front of me even more. Even if his identity is known, he is still the same as before, without any sense of distance.
The other two also slightly bowed their hands, and now they really can't treat them as usual as before.
Song Zhishu understood that this matter might not be bypassed, so he immediately changed the subject: "The most important thing now is the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation left by the demon. I think something big may happen in the near future, and City Lord Qiu will also Learn something more from us."
"So we still don't want to leave in the near future. In addition to ensuring our own safety, another point is to improve our strength as much as possible."
Whether it is Song Zhishu or other people present, they all heard about the strength of the demon from other people or elders.
No one has seen the real monster, but they all know the danger in their hearts.
Otherwise, even a figure like Qingzhou City Lord would not have reacted like that.
"We understand. Please don't worry, fellow Daoist Song. If you have any ideas in the future, you must ask fellow Daoist Song for advice." Lin Cheng nodded immediately, as if he had already regarded Zhishu Song as the leader. When deciding what to do, he first listened to the other party's opinion.
"It's the same for us." Wang Chong, Li Xiansong and the others nodded, approving this very much.
This is the effect of fame.
"Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun made a sound, cupped his hands slightly, and then said: "Mr. Song recited the way of the university, and there is the principle of a gentleman. The Confucian disciples in Qingzhou Academy admire you very much. If there is a chance, I hope that Mr. Song can come to my Qingzhou Academy Once there, I think the teachers and the gentlemen of the academy will sweep the couch to welcome you."
Before, he wanted to discuss some principles of Confucianism with Song Zhishu, but now it is different, and he wants to invite him to Qingzhou Academy.
The way of the university arouses the sound of heaven and earth, and many Confucian scholars are painstakingly studying the truth.
If you can invite Song Zhishu to Qingzhou Academy, it will definitely cause strong reactions.
As for Mr. Chen Jingyun, he is the dean of Qingzhou Academy.
"must."
When Song Zhishu heard the words, he understood that the kindness was difficult to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
In particular, I also have the idea in my heart to go to some academies to see how they are different from Mingyue Academy, which can be regarded as a kind of knowledge and practice.
"Thank you, Mr. Song." Chen Jingyun was overjoyed when he got the answer, and bowed again.
"Okay, we are still at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. If there is anything else to go back, we can discuss it in detail." Song Zhishu said, feeling that it is not good to stand in front of the public and talk, especially if this is still in the City Lord's Mansion, it will attract attention.
"That's right, let's go back first." Lin Cheng and the others finally realized that they were a little excited just now, but forgot where they were.
Immediately, the few people stopped talking and walked towards the inn quickly.
Song Zhishu was helpless, knowing that there might be a lot of things to explain today, but it was nothing, just happened to have some things to explain clearly.
At the same time, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Qiu, what's going on? Why did you find the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation in Qingzhou?" Master Mo was puzzled after waiting for Song Zhishu and others to leave. After all, this matter is too important to be ignored.
"I don't know either. It's clear that there are monsters in Jinzhou, but the Tianfeng Demon Formation is in the Qingyun Mountains."
Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, also frowned tightly, and couldn't figure it out, so he could only say in the end: "It's important, Brother Mo, I can only trouble you to lead the team to Yuhua Mountain to find the traces of the Fengtian Demon Formation, and I will do it too." Go and inform Taihao Sword Sect that there are treacherous demons and the Heavenly Sacred Sect leading the way, this matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, with me in Qingzhou, if there is a problem at that time, I will definitely not be able to stop it."
Since the last battle in Beizhou, after some demons fled in chaos, the famous families all over the world were looking for traces of demons, but they found nothing.
Until finally, monsters appeared in Jinzhou, which attracted most of the attention, and all the immortal sects sent people to investigate the situation.
Even Qiu Qianhe was called by Taihao Sword Sect to contribute, but he never thought that just after communicating with the major forces in the city, something happened in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is the closest to Taihao Sword Sect, so he felt it was necessary to inform .
Because if there really are monsters, they can't deal with them with their own strength, and the only way is for Taihao Sword Sect to send out strong men.
But Qiu Qianhe still didn't understand what the demons and Tianshengjiao were planning.
It can only be said to investigate clearly first, and then react.
"In the world of demons and monsters, my generation of monks should be obliged. Brother Qiu, don't worry, I will definitely find out." Master Mo said, nodding and agreeing without hesitation. In fact, even if Qiu Qianhe hadn't asked, he would definitely go to find out.
In the last battle of Beizhou, the heavy losses failed to stop the monsters from sneaking into the interior. If they were not dealt with in time, it would cause catastrophe.
"Thank you, Brother Mo." Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianhe cupped his hands slightly, thanking him for his background.
Immediately, the two chatted for a few more words, and then acted separately.
Qiu Qianhe not only wanted to notify Taihao Sword Sect, but also the Great Zhou Dynasty, because he had a suspicion in his heart that the accident in Jinzhou was just a plan of the demon, and the real target was not Jinzhou.
If this is the case, doing this is taking precautions, and even follow the clues to find an Old Demon.
However, under the circumstances that have not yet been confirmed, it is not appropriate to make a public announcement for fear of causing riots.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion is still the same as usual, without any changes.
In the middle of the night, the stars are shining brightly.
Inside a guest room of Yunlingzhai.
Lin Cheng and the others had already left, and they chatted a lot, of course it was all about Song Zhishu, and Song Zhishu also learned about it, because of the matter of the law enforcement hall, there are more people in the world who know themselves than imagined. Especially the act of angrily denouncing injustice not only won the support of low-level disciples, but more importantly, it was also recognized by many casual cultivators.
The reason is very simple, Song Zhishu is for the bottom of the Taihao Sword Sect, and the situation of these people is not much better than that of casual cultivators.
There are injustices everywhere, but not many people dare to speak out.
This also allowed him to gain fame in casual cultivation.
The way of the university is even more remarkable, which makes the heaven and the earth lower their literary spirit, which benefits scholars below the level of a gentleman, and some people use it to break through the realm of Confucianism.
Song Zhishu did not think of these things. No wonder Mr. Gu Yun and Mr. Wen Yuan said that scholars all over the world should thank themselves.
Of course, Song Zhishu also hoped that Lin Cheng and the others would not spread the word before they left.
As I said before, the current self is just a casual cultivator.
There is no need to borrow the name of Taihao Sword Sect anymore.
As for other things, Song Zhishu didn't take it to heart, because everything was unintentional.
Although Lin Cheng and the others did not understand this, they nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Song Zhishu was sitting cross-legged in meditation, with his eyes slightly closed, wisps of heaven and earth spiritual energy emerged around him, all distracting thoughts were cleared away, and the mana in the spirit pool was constantly oscillating, but it had reached its limit and could not grow any longer.
After a long time, Song Zhishu opened his eyes and stopped meditating.
Then he turned his gaze to the table not far away, on which was a storage bag.
That was after Lin Cheng and the others left, he went to the Wanshi Pavilion and replaced all [-] spirit stones with Lingyuan Pills, a total of [-].
"If you want to break through the late stage of foundation establishment, only [-] Lingyuan Pills are definitely not enough. I need more, but now it is best not to go out to kill monsters at will. The appearance of the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation means that the hands of monsters may reach Qingzhou. Big things can happen at any moment."
Song Zhishu pondered and realized that monsters are not so easy to deal with. The Qingzhou Mountains may not be safe now, and it is best to stay in the city.
In addition, I am not far from breaking through the late stage of foundation establishment, and earning spirit stones by engraving gems is enough.
"The Heavenly Demon Formation left by the demon was found in the Qingyun Mountains, but judging from the conversation between City Lord Qiu and Master Mo, it seems that something happened in Jinzhou, so why?"
Thinking of monsters, Song Zhishu couldn't help but recall what he heard in the City Lord's Mansion today.
It turned out that not only Qingzhou, but even Jinzhou had an accident.
Jinzhou is located in the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, tens of thousands of miles away from Qingzhou. Monsters have been found in both places. Is there any connection?
Song Zhishu couldn't figure it out, because he knew too little information, but no matter what, there was one thing, the disaster of demons had started, and he couldn't do much, the most important thing was to improve his strength.
After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath, intending to refine all the spirit pills in front of him.
Maybe something big will happen soon, and before that, with more strength, you can have more means of self-protection.
Immediately, Song Zhishu did not hesitate, took out the Lingyuan Pill in the storage bag, and went on the drug-taking upgrade journey again.
But now there are more than 30 noble spirits in his body, so the speed of refining the spirit pills is faster than before, maintaining around [-] pills a day, but it will take nearly a month to refine all the spirit pills.
In this way, time passed bit by bit.
During this period of time, many people found that Qingzhou City was different from before.
The first is the Wanshi Pavilion. There are fewer and fewer tasks related to the Qingyun Mountains, and most of them are not dangerous.
Then the City Lord's Mansion issued an order that anyone who came to and from the city, regardless of monks or ordinary people, must undergo extremely strict inspections, and even invited scholars from Qingzhou Academy to help, which made many casual practitioners not understand.
What's more, many people have discovered that there are more and more powerful auras in the city, and the guards are stricter than before.
But other than that, nothing else has changed, and many people's lives continue as usual.
Of course, Song Zhishu is not clear about these things, and has been practicing in seclusion.
After the [-] Lingyuan Pills were refined, his cultivation was stronger than before, and he was not far from the late stage of foundation establishment. Moreover, Song Zhishu did not take time off to engrave the precious jade while using the sky Thunder bottle tempers the body so that the body can keep up with the speed of practice.
During this period, Lin Cheng and the others did not come to disturb him, and they must be improving their cultivation and strength.
Because Song Zhishu had previously explained that they should try not to go out during this period of time.
I'm making plans when there is official news from the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course they understand, because they are the few who know about the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation, and they will not choose to mess around.
Furthermore, according to Song Zhishu's estimation, the harvest from the last trip to Yuhua Mountain should be enough for them to use for a while.
And after a full month and a half.
Lin Cheng and others finally showed up to visit.
Yunlingzhai, in the guest room.
The four figures sat down together, with a cup of spiritual tea in front of each of them.
"It seems that the three fellow Taoists have gained a lot this month." Song Zhishu sat in the first place and looked at the crowd with a smile on his face.
Lin Cheng in front of him was full of breath and mana. He was almost at the middle stage of foundation establishment. He even changed his outfit, especially his eyes revealed confidence. As for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong, they actually directly established the foundation during this period of time. Success, the strength has risen a lot.
It's only been a month, but the three of them are not what they used to be. Song Zhishu is naturally happy for them.
"It all depends on you, Song Daoyou. If you hadn't made a move on Yuhua Mountain, how would the three of us have what we are today?"
Lin Cheng smiled, then took out a storage bag from his sleeve, and said again: "There are [-] spirit stones in it, and I can take it as a thank you from the rest of us. Don't refuse, Fellow Daoist Wang Song."
"That's right, it's our wish. Fellow Daoist Song must be under your command." Li Xiansong beside him also spoke.
Encountered monsters in the late stage of foundation establishment on Yuhua Mountain, without Song Zhishu, the three of them could not return.
In addition, because of that harvest, their strength has been greatly improved.
So in their eyes, they must thank Song Zhishu.
And this was something the three of them had thought about before, because there were not many spirit stones at that time, so they buried it in their hearts.
"That's not right, [-] spirit stones are too much." Although Song Zhishu also lacked spirit stones, he also knew the situation of the three of them, they were just casual cultivators.
"Song Daoyou, although we are casual cultivators, we also know what to do. The trip to Yuhua Mountain can be regarded as a business, but you rescued it at a critical moment. Take it out as a thank you."
Lin Cheng opened his mouth with a serious tone: "Besides, Daoyou Song hasn't gone out recently, so I don't know. Wanshi Pavilion recently released some tasks, and the rewards are very generous. We have not only been practicing for more than a month, but also done several tasks, so you There's no need to give up."
"Going out to do a mission?" Hearing this, Song Zhishu frowned. He had explained it before, but he didn't think that the three of them still didn't listen.
"Song Daoyou first listen to our explanation."
Li Xiansong was careful, and immediately said: "The tasks issued by Wanshi Pavilion are basically in the city, so the danger is not very great. We listened to your words and did not leave the city."
This sentence made Song Zhishu even more puzzled, and he couldn't help saying: "I probably know a little bit about the missions in the city. Although it is not dangerous, it will not have any income."
The three of them shot directly to [-] spirit stones. Even if there were some left over from last time, it was still a huge number.
But looking at them, they didn't really care about them, so Song Zhishu naturally couldn't understand.
"We don't know the specific reason. The Wanshi Pavilion issued an announcement half a month ago, which directly increased the reward by a large amount. Now many casual cultivators in the city are rushing to grab the task." Lin Cheng opened his mouth and explained the reason, saying that it was the Wanshi Pavilion Increased the reward a lot, but don't understand why.
Of course, these are not very important to these casual cultivators, the important thing is that they can bring a lot of income.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Cheng and the others were able to take out [-] spirit stones each.
Increase mission rewards.
Why is this move a bit like the previous Jianzong reform?
After Song Zhishu heard it, he frowned slightly, and immediately asked again: "Is there any movement in the City Lord's Mansion?"
The city lord's mansion is in charge of a city, so such a change must be related to it, and since the last time he left from where, the city lord Qiu has never looked for them again, which is strange, so I want to know more news.
"Not really."
Lin Cheng thought for a while, and then said: "However, Fellow Daoist Song, we found that many monks have come to Qingzhou City recently, and most of them are not casual cultivators. There are sects and aristocratic families. You can meet them on the road. There are even more uncommon alchemy-level cultivators, which is very strange, we have lived in Qingzhou City for a while, but we have never met one."
"Yeah, and the defenses in the city have been strengthened, and you have to show your identity when you enter and exit, so the three of us speculate whether this has something to do with the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation we encountered last time." Li Xiansong opened his mouth and expressed the thoughts in the hearts of the three of them.
After all, this series of things happened very suddenly, and there was no warning before.
"I'm afraid something will happen."
After Song Zhishu heard it, his expression changed slightly: "The defense is strengthened again, and the disciples of the aristocratic family are entering. I think City Lord Qiu may have a premonition that something will happen, or maybe it is not a premonition, but it is already happening."
As soon as this remark came out, the three people present were shocked. They were just guessing before, but because they didn't have a reliable source of information, they couldn't be sure. Now that they heard Song Zhishu speak, they finally believed that something might really happen. The reason lies in the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation Stone discovered by several people before.
Song Zhishu looked at the three of them, pondered for a while, and then said again: "Looking at the current situation, I believe that there may be some movement in the City Lord's Mansion in a short time, and it is not small. At that time, we are afraid that we will have to face the demon directly."
My guess is actually well-founded. Wanshi Pavilion will not increase task rewards for no reason when doing business.
So it is very likely that they want to improve the strength of some monks in the city in a short period of time.
In this way, when it comes to dealing with monsters later on, there will be more power. At the same time, the major families and sects have also sent people here, in order to strengthen the power of Qingzhou City, just like the Taihao Sword. Zong, the demons in Beizhou were in turmoil, and related tasks were also released.
That's why Song Zhishu had such a guess, because apart from demons, Qingzhou City would not have such a big change.
"Facing the demon?"
When the three of them heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
They have practiced for decades, and have seen many monsters, but they have never touched them.
For several people, monsters are scary, but they have no idea how scary they are. It is an unknown fear.
"Then Daoist Song, should we leave Qingzhou first?" Wang Chong said. Since he knew that something big might happen, the best choice now is to temporarily leave Qingzhou, a place of right and wrong.
After all, I am just a little foundation-building cultivator, and I will leave as soon as I leave, and I will not hide the overall situation.
Lin Cheng was also silent. He found out that there was nothing wrong with the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation before, but he might have to face the monsters directly later, so he was naturally worried.
"I'm afraid it's too late. The upper echelons of Qingzhou have already made arrangements. Obviously, the situation may have become a little serious."
Song Zhishu shook his head slightly. If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for City Lord Qiu not to reveal any information, not to mention that people from various sects came here, definitely to accumulate more power to fight against the demons.
As for the three people's thoughts, Song Zhishu was clear, so he said again: "As for whether to go or not, you make your own decision, but I must stay. In the world of demons and demons, as a monk of the human race, it is imperative. Can you guarantee that there will be no escape next time?"
He expressed his attitude, because he was really curious about monsters in his heart and wanted to see them. After all, the world will be chaotic no matter what, so it is better to know in advance, so that he will have experience in dealing with crises in the future.
Of course Song Zhishu didn't give them any advice, but let them choose for themselves.
Even if you decide to go, it's nothing, it's human nature.
"Song Daoyou is right. In the troubled world of monsters, you may be able to survive the world if you just leave, but what about next time? So I want to stay." The silent Lin Cheng spoke very seriously, saying that he would not leave, and he didn't know that he was like this It's not right to do it, but reason tells me that I should stay.
"So do we. Even if we can't do anything, we still have to do our best." Wang Chong and Li Xiansong also decided.
The three of them had known each other for more than ten years, and since one of them stayed, they shouldn't leave either.
Demons are terrible, but what is even more terrible is that people lose their hearts.
Seeing them make a decision with a solemn look on their faces, Zhishu Song smiled: "In fact, you don't have to worry too much. If there are really powerful demons, there will naturally be powerful monks to resist them. When we are used, we shouldn't be too worried. It would be dangerous."
When the sky fell, there was a tall man holding it up.
It's not that the upper echelons will let the monks at the lower echelons die. First, it's unnecessary, and second, it won't change the situation if they do it.
This can be seen from the fact that the aristocratic families of various sects came to Qingzhou City.
"Song Daoyou is right."
Lin Cheng nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
Then the three chatted for a while, and they all said that they should improve their strength as much as possible in a short time.
But before they left, they still wanted to leave the [-] spirit stones, and Song Zhishu must accept them.
Song Zhishu had no choice but to agree.
Before long, he was alone in the room.
Song Zhishu looked at the 1 spirit stones in front of him and fell into deep thought: "Something is going to happen after all, but why did this monster choose Qingzhou? The Taihao Sword Sect is [-] miles away. Doing so will not provoke the Taihao Sword Sect!" anger?"
He still didn't understand this, and in the end he stopped thinking about it, and after thinking for a while, he took the spirit stone in his hand and left.
No matter what, the most important thing now is to improve his strength, and he has these spirit stones in hand.
Song Zhishu believes that he can go straight to the later stage of foundation establishment.
The streets of Qingzhou City are bustling with traffic, and everyone is in a hurry.
As Lin Cheng and others said before, there are many more monks than before, and foundation-building monks can be seen everywhere, and he even saw some sect disciples in groups dressed in the same service coming and going.
But the street seems lively, but for some reason there is a sense of depression. It seems that everyone has something on their minds.
"Looking at the situation, it won't be long before the City Lord's Mansion will respond."
Song Zhishu pondered, although no specific news has been revealed yet, but it is obvious that some monks have already had a premonition. The reason for hiding the news of the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation before is to avoid causing riots and plan secretly.
And after more than a month, the City Lord's Mansion probably has everything planned and is just waiting for the final announcement.
Or maybe the wind has been revealed in the dark, so that some monks in the city are ready in advance.
Song Zhishu sighed slightly, without saying much, walked straight to Wanshi Pavilion.
About half an hour later.
In the elegant room of Wanshi Pavilion.
The girl in blue brought a pot of spirit tea and poured it into a cup: "Shangxian Song, we are already preparing the spirit pills you want. You are a distinguished guest of our Wanshi Pavilion, so we have prepared five hundred spirit pills for you this time." Yuan Dan."
"So many?" Song Zhishu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Isn't the price of Lingyuan Dan a hundred spirit stones? Girl in blue, don't tell me it's just because I have a guest card."
Five hundred Lingyuan pills are equivalent to fifty thousand spirit stones. Can Wanshi Pavilion lose money in doing business like this?
"Where is Song Shangxian's words?"
The girl in blue bowed and smiled, and said again: "This is decided by the pavilion master, and it's only temporary. After a while, the price will return to its original state. Of course, Song Shangxian can't take this opportunity to buy more. Wanshi Pavilion will set a rough number based on everyone's cultivation and strength, and it will not work if it passes."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, that is, the things in Wanshi Pavilion are indeed cheap, but they will only last for a short period of time.
At the same time, you can't buy more, otherwise, if someone comes out with 100 million spirit stones, should you accept it or not?
"Wanshi Pavilion's business is so big, it will definitely not be a loss-making business."
When Song Zhishu heard this, he paused and said again: "So there must be a reason for this. Can the girl in blue tell me a little bit? Of course, if it's inconvenient, I won't force it."
Wanshi Pavilion's actions are too abnormal. It is to increase the task rewards and reduce the prices of essential things such as medicine for cultivation. How can there be such a business, there must be tricks in it.
Song Zhishu actually had a rough guess in his mind, but he still wanted to make sure.
Next to her, the girl in blue lowered her head, hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Song Shangxian must not go out of the city casually recently, and once he leaves the city, he will not come back for a while. To be honest, something big may happen recently. I don’t know much about the news.”
Her voice was very solemn, saying what she knew.
Song Zhishu also understood that the girl in blue probably knew this, after all, she was just a manager, and it was impossible for her to have access to news from higher levels.
Immediately, he stood up and cupped his hands slightly: "Thank you for letting me know, Miss, I understand."
"Shangxian Song is very polite."
The girl in blue returned the salute, and she was able to speak because Song Zhishu's recent business in Wanshi Pavilion had brought some benefits to herself, and seeing that Song Zhishu was a nice person and had no airs, she just said it.
Afterwards, the two did not speak, which made the atmosphere in the private room somewhat dull.
And not long after, someone sent Lingyuan Pills, five hundred of them.
After Song Zhishu confirmed it was correct, he handed over again and left Wanshi Pavilion.
"It must be a demon, and it must be very serious. Wanshige directly started a loss-making business, and the monks in the city must have received orders to plan ahead, but who made the decision to make Wanshige obey? "
On the way back, Song Zhishu kept thinking, thinking that City Lord Qiu would definitely not have such energy.
Although the other party is a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm, the Wanshi Pavilion is not simple.
Qingzhou is just one of the branches. Even the pavilion master here cannot make such a decision. It must be the big hand of a higher-level powerhouse, and even the Wanshi Pavilion has to obey.
He didn't know who made such a decision, but he had a feeling of déjà vu.
soon.
Song Zhishu returned to the inn, but he didn't go directly into the room and observed carefully.
In the end, it was found that Yunlingzhai was overcrowded, and there seemed to be people in the compartments. The monks who came in and out were all good, and some of them were in the alchemy state, but other than that, no other news was heard.
Song Zhishu confirmed that there must have been demons in Qingzhou, and it must be very serious.
"Forget it, maybe I'll find out after a while."
Song Zhishu took a deep breath, knowing that this kind of thing would never be hidden for too long, and he couldn't guess anything by himself, so he walked directly into the room.
Put the [-] Lingyuan pills bought today on the table, but did not choose to refine immediately.
Instead, take out the pen and paper first, and silently write the doctrine of the mean.
I didn't sit cross-legged until my mind completely calmed down without any distracting thoughts.
"It takes half a month to refine all five hundred elixirs, which can help me directly break through the late stage of foundation establishment. I hope that during this period of time, it is best not to have any accidents." Song Zhishu looked at the elixirs in front of him with an extremely solemn expression.
A breakthrough is imminent, as long as you reach the late stage of foundation establishment, your strength will rise to a higher level.
At that time, he will also have the confidence to face the demon head-on.
After all, I am a perfect qi practitioner, different from ordinary people, in the later stage of foundation establishment, with a series of methods, I can directly fight against the alchemy realm.
Did not continue to think.
Song Zhishu chose to retreat again, refining the Lingyuan Pill, and then broke through in one fell swoop.
In this way, the days passed day by day, and as time passed, the atmosphere in the city seemed to become more depressing.
City Lord's Mansion, in the lobby.
Dozens of figures have gathered here, each of them has powerful mana and dignified expression.
A series of powerful auras converged towards them, and under the powerful pressure, the aura of the surrounding world continued to vibrate.
And each of these auras represents an existence of at least the late stage of Jindan, and even Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, is at the back at this moment.
"Everyone, since City Lord Qiu discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation in the Qingyun Mountains, after our inspections, we have discovered dozens of formation stones of the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation one after another. What is certain is that the target of the monsters this time is very It may be Qingzhou, the accident in Jinzhou before was just a trick used by demons."
"Not long ago, my Taihao Sword Sect sent people to Qingzhou to remove the formation stones in various places, so during this period, we must act carefully to prevent demons from making trouble."
Among the crowd, an old man spoke and looked at the crowd with a solemn voice. This old man was none other than Wang Pingan, the Lord of Taihao Sword Sect Mingyue.
On behalf of the Taihao Sword Sect, he came to Qingzhou City to deal with the monsters, and of course Wang Ping'an was not the only one.
The other elders and disciples of Taihao Sword Sect are also on their way.
"Brother Ping'an has already made it very clear. I believe you all know the seriousness of the matter. During the process of removing the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation Stone, Heavenly Saints and demons may come out to make trouble. Although I, Jinyi Tianwei, have already acted, I want to It’s still a bit difficult to do everything in detail.”
At this time, another middle-aged man came out. He was dressed in a black brocade official uniform, and his eyes were even more murderous.
He is the commander of Jinyi Tianwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the existence of Jinyi Tianwei is to deal with demon incidents.
"Master Fu, please rest assured that the Wanshi Pavilion will release some missions related to demons at that time, and help them from the sidelines. There are so many monks in the city, even if they can't deal with it, at least they can be contained." The Master of the Wanshi Pavilion said, this is what he said before. It has been decided.
In the lobby, people from other sects and aristocratic families also spoke one after another, asking their disciples to cooperate with Jinyi Tianwei and Wanshi Pavilion.
Because the demonic matter is of great importance, and they directly used the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation, no one will take it lightly.
"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you."
Elder Wang Pingan of Mingyue pressed his hand and continued: "I hope we can work together this time to deal with the enemy of monsters."
"Yes."
Everyone opened their mouths and bowed one after another, very respectful.
Master Fu noticed this scene, but he didn't speak.
Because these people present, except Dazhou Jinyi Tianwei, the other forces all followed the Taihao Sword Sect's call.
"Report."
At this time, a monk came in and said in a bowed voice, "Report to the City Master, seniors, lords, everything is ready."
This sentence made Wang Pingan and everyone look at each other, then nodded slightly, then Wang Pingan walked up to Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, and said slowly: "City lord Qiu, you can start."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe nodded, after preparing for so long, now it's time to fight back.
at the same time.
Yunlingzhai, in a guest room.
Song Zhishu's mana was constantly surging, emitting rays of light, making illusions come and go.
In the room, the aura of heaven and earth turned into a storm, making roaring sounds, like small thunderclaps exploding.
But in Song Zhishu's body, mana had been accumulated to the extreme, and the eighteen-inch spiritual pool vibrated, revealing wisps of thick power.
a moment.
Under the influx of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the spirit pool began to change and expand continuously, and finally reached a size of 27 inches, with more powerful and majestic power, swimming in every piece of flesh and limbs of Song Zhishu.
"Breakthrough, late foundation establishment."
Song Zhishu felt the powerful force in his body, opened his eyes immediately, and a bright light flashed across.
Although he only broke through a small realm, he was able to discover that his own strength had improved by more than one level, which was several times stronger than that in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
"I spent three hundred Lingyuan Pills, and it was not in vain."
Song Zhishu clenched his fist slightly, his mana was flowing, and he was very satisfied with his enhanced strength after breaking through.
It's a pity that if the next step is to achieve the completion of foundation establishment, it is estimated that at least [-] Lingyuan Pills will be needed. This number, even he can't help but shake his head. The more resources are needed in the end, it is almost beyond imagination up.
Without thinking too much, Song Zhishu got up, stretched his muscles and bones, and adapted to the strength of the later stage of foundation establishment.
After stopping to clean up the room, he continued to read the article and silently write the time of the mean.
He heard a knock on the door.
"Song Daoyou."
It was the voices of Lin Cheng and the others.
Seeing this, Song Zhishu immediately went forward to open the door, and was about to speak, but saw Lin Cheng and the three looked anxious. After they saw Song Zhishu, they didn't have time to salute, so they said directly: "Song Daoyou is not good, Qingzhou City. Sealed!"
