Locust

Chapter 67 Ambition
in the cave.

Hong Xiu suddenly called out: "Master."

"What's the matter?" Cao Cuo asked casually.

He was still thinking about that illusion. Without the cooperation of the recipient, it would be extremely difficult to successfully cast the new illusion.

Hongxiu said bluntly: "Does the leader have a Taoist companion?"

"Why are you asking this?"

Cao Cuo frowned. How could this red sleeve be so bold today that he actually asked about his personal affairs.

Hongxiu stroked the blue silk on his forehead and said: "Cultivators don't have to be pure-hearted and ascetic. It's also a good thing to have someone to accompany you on the road of practice."

"Cultivation is the most important thing about Taoism. There are too many fetters, and the world of mortals is chaotic, which is not conducive to bravery and diligence..."

"Wealth, companionship, law, and land are the four pillars of practice. Taoist companionship is one of them, and it is also indispensable, isn't it?"

"..."

Cao wrongly waved his hand and said calmly:
"In this life, there is nothing else to think about."

Hongxiu chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that the leader already has his own heart."

Cao Cuo was in a trance, and scenes appeared in his mind:

Its shape is as light as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming...

The magic-like beauty of the fairy...

……

Cao Cuo looked calm and looked at Hongxiu:

There are thousands of styles and styles, and it also has the appearance of a city.

He asked directly: "Chu Hongxiu, there is something in your words, what exactly do you want to say?"

Hongxiu approached her with fiery eyes:
"Isn't my concubine beautiful?"

Cao was unmoved, and rebuked:
"You don't answer questions with questions."

"Ha ha!"

Hongxiu gave a charming smile and said teasingly:

"Master, the wife of the leader who wants to be your concubine."

"..."

Although Cao Cuo was somewhat mentally prepared, he did not expect Hongxiu to be so outspoken.

Looking directly into the other person's eyes, I saw some clues...

really.

Those who love red clothes have sex like a raging fire.

There is fire in Hongxiu's eyes, but it is not the fire of love, but the fire of power. She is not courting love, but seeking power...

"An ambitious woman."

Cao Cuo bluntly expressed his opinion and asked directly:

"Hongxiu, what do you want from me?"

Hongxiu changed into a cute and pitiful look, and confided softly:
"The concubine only wants to get the care of the leader."

"If you talk nonsense like this again, you will get nothing." Cao's eyes were slightly cold.

Hong Xiu's dark face straightened, and he said respectfully: "May I ask the leader, is it related to the matter of the talisman to subdue Hao Jiantong this time?"

"Oh? How much do you know, tell me."

Cao Cuo's face remained motionless, but he was shocked in his heart, how did Hongxiu guess.

Hongxiu analyzed: "Firstly, after the leader came to Shiling City, he collected the origin stone inventory from the cult, and after a few months, he gave Lu Yunfei a large number of Three Treasure Talismans. Ordinary monks would never carry so many talismans at any time. Therefore, these The talismans are most likely made by the leader himself."

It seems that after glancing at the leader, his face did not change, but he did not speak out to refute, and Hongxiu confirmed his guess a bit.

"Secondly, Hao Jiantong was born in the Illusion Tower, and the talisman is also one of the biggest properties of the Illusion Tower. It is fine for the leader to save his life. Now he wants to help him build a foundation. He must really want to subdue this person. This matter is mostly related to the talisman. It's about."

Cao Cuo laughed when he heard the words: "This point is too far-fetched, did you use your intuition?"

"It seems that Hongxiu has been fooled."

Hongxiu put her smile away, and said seriously: "Of course I am not a fool, but the information given by Hao Jiantong, which supports my guess."

Cao Cuo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said: "I would like to hear more about it."

Hong Xiu's eyes were like stars, he boldly looked directly at the leader, and asked:

"Is the leader's real name Wei Jinhuan?"

"of course not."

"Then, let's change the identity of the concubine. Has the leader ever used the name Wei Jinhuan?"

"It seems you do know something."

Cao Cuo simply bluntly told:

"Yes, Wei Jinhuan is a pseudonym I used in Shoushanfang City. My real name is Cao Cuo."

Since everyone in Shijiao has planted the green locust Gu, they are their "confidantes", and there is no need to hide it.

Hongxiu's eyes lit up, and she silently remembered the name in her heart. The leader was willing to tell her real name, obviously because she trusted herself.

Hongxiu said bluntly: "Thirdly, Hao Jiantong told me that after the black and white two-phase ghost in the magic building was ordered to chase after a talisman master, the soul lamp in the building suddenly went out, obviously he fell outside, and this talisman master was called Wei Jinhuan, he once produced a large number of Fire Crow Talismans, which is why he offended Huanlou."

Cao Cuo remained silent. It seemed that Hongxiu had discovered clues and secretly investigated his identity. He was indeed a resourceful person in the sect.

With a smile in his eyes, Hongxiu talked eloquently: "Based on the above three points, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion: the leader's ability to make talismans is outstanding, but he suffers from the lack of sales channels, so he took the initiative to reorganize the Stone Sect and subdue Hao Jiantong. It must be to avoid the magic building. Build a talisman sales channel by yourself, accumulate financial resources and practice resources..."

Cao Cuo sighed: "You are really smart to be able to sum up this information."

Hongxiu looked away, bowed and saluted:
"Thank you, Master, for your compliment!"

"But there's one thing, you're wrong."

Cao Cuo stood with his hands behind his back, with evil eyes in his eyes and said:

"I reorganized the Stone Sect to seek justice for the disciples of the Stone Sect. Since they did things for me, they shouldn't die in vain."

"I want to let Huanlou know that the murderer will always be killed."

Hongxiu only believed half of this, but it was enough. It showed that the leader in front of him was different from those monks who had no love and righteousness. He was a nostalgic person...

She looked dignified and gave a solemn salute:
"Thank you, leader, and I am willing to seek justice for the disciples of the Stone Sect who died."

"Don't be too polite."

Cao wrongly waved his hand and admitted directly:

"Your guess is correct. I really need a secret channel to avoid the magic building and exchange the large number of talismans in my hand with the resources needed for cultivation. That's why I want to subdue Hao Jiantong and let him work for me."

Hongxiu asked: "How does the leader plan to use this person?"

Cao Cuo didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I will help him build the foundation, then take his heart, and then give him a batch of talismans. As the eyeliner of the illusion building, if he can't think of a way to get rid of the talismans, what's the use of keeping him?"

"Besides, this person is very scheming and has a lot of friends. He probably won't take risks on his own. This line should last for a while..."

Hong Xiu raised her head slightly, her eyes were crescent-shaped, and said with a smile:

"Why should the leader look far away? I can also contribute to this matter."

"Oh? If you have any thoughts, please tell me."

Hongxiu Jianyan said: "The leader wants to use the foundation-building monks to sell talismans through the upper-level route. The quantity must be large, and it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the big forces.

Why don't you try the lower-level route, go through the channel of cultivating Qi Realm monks, a small amount and many times, it is not easy to attract the attention of big forces, it is safer. "

Cao Cuo's heart moved. Most of the monks he came into contact with after building the foundation realm were monks from the same realm. He really forgot that the monks in the Qi training realm are the foundation of the world of cultivating immortals. Their power should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this level, Cao Cuo pondered:
"This idea is indeed good, but it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive to reorganize the manpower among monks in the Qi training state, and it is easy to cause disturbances and unnecessary troubles. Since you have raised this point, you must have some ideas. "

Hongxiu covered her mouth and smiled:
"The leader underestimated the concubine, and what the concubine has is not just an idea, but an absolutely feasible method."

Seeing her confident appearance, what she said should be true.

"Su Wenjiao's Hongxiu is smart, if you can really solve the problem of the talisman, I will give you a gift, how about it?"

Hong Xiu's eyes lit up, and he said with a straight face:

"The leader knows that Lu Yunfei has already sold [-] of Lu Yunfei's [-] talismans, for a total of [-] talisman coins."

"Eighty-five percent? It's not too low. How did he make the move? Is there any future trouble?"

Cao Cuo shot the talisman twice by himself, which attracted the suppression of Huanlou, his "colleague". Of course, he suspected that Lu Yunfei didn't know the severity, and he was in danger without knowing it.

"No, Yunfei traded the talisman to Yin Nanting, a monk on the ninth floor of the Qi training realm in Iron Cloud City."

"Iron Cloud City, Yin Nanting?"

Cao Cuo knew about Tieyun City, which was the largest secular city in Qinyun Mountain.

This city is located on the main road between Shoushan Mountain and Qinyun Mountain, with convenient transportation, prosperous commerce, and many monks coming and going. Although it is a secular city, the owner of the city is a monk who has completed the foundation. Far beyond Shiling City.

Hong Xiu didn't play tricks, and continued:
"Yin Nanting was originally a direct disciple of Yingshan Castle in Qinyun Mountain. He was a young genius. He reached the perfection of Qi training at the age of 25. He had a marriage contract with He Jiuzhen, the daughter of the He family in Nanyi City.

But that He Jiu really belonged to her, she didn't look up to the Yin family at all, let alone Yin Nanting, secretly instigated her brother He Feixiong to seriously injure Yin Nanting, broke his foundation, cut off his path, and made this person's cultivation base If you fall into the ninth level of the Qi training environment, you will not be able to advance an inch for life.

But this Yin Nanting is also an ambitious person, dissatisfied with the Yin family's high-level swallowing his anger, he simply ran away from home and wandered around Iron Cloud City alone. Yoshiko. "

"..."

Genius, waste, divorce...

This Yin Nanting's experience is a bit evil.

Cao Cuo knew that Nan Tian, ​​the chief official of Iron Cloud City, was a monk who had established a perfect foundation. After many years in Tieyun City, he has claimed the identity of Tieyun City Lord and has taken care of his life.

Guan Nantian was willing to accept Yin Nanting as his adoptive son, most likely because he felt sorry for each other and harmed his kind.

Cao Cuo asked carefully: "How can Yin Nanting, a monk in the Qi training state, be able to eat [-] talismans?"

Hongxiu explained: "Guan Nantian has many adoptive sons, among them there are many monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm, Yin Nanting's cultivation level is low, and his status is not outstanding.

But this person is quite capable, the Sky Eagle Hall under his command has gathered many good players, and has a very wide network of contacts in Iron Cloud City.

He dealt with a few talismans without causing any trouble, and quietly made money for the talismans, probably even Guan Nantian didn't know about it. "

"Perhaps it was Guan Nantian's cover for his adoptive son. Otherwise, how could this person be able to eat such a large piece of fat when he is in the Qi training stage?"

After Cao Cuo finished talking about different opinions, he asked again:
"How did Lu Yunfei get acquainted with him? One of them is in Shiling City and the other is in Iron Cloud City. The distance is so far that there are not many opportunities to meet each other."
