Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Fellow Daoist Su, don't worry. I have promised my grandmother to take you back. I asked about you before and you are here in Wangxi River, so I specially asked my grandmother to get this token. She said that this silver hairpin is the only dowry in your family. You You will know as soon as you see him, if fellow Taoist can trust me, I will take you away now to see who dares to stop me." Xiao Mobai said.

Su Jiaoruo shook her head and said sadly: "My grandmother is a poor and old man with nothing. The master pitied her for her loneliness and weakness, and pitied her sincerity, so he helped her. A small favor is just an excuse. Everyone knows. The master is chivalrous. Sir, you are so weak that you don’t trust me, but you are afraid that you will harm the young master with your humble life. Does the young master know who owns this Wangxichuan?”

"I came here not long ago, and I don't know much about people. I only heard that it is the property of the Dou family."

"The Dou family is a famous family in Qinchuan. There are three foundation-building monks in the family. Although the young master has advanced cultivation, he must not be a match for the foundation-building monks. If he rescues Jiaowei, it will be equivalent to becoming the enemy of the Dou family. By then the Dou family will build If Brother Ji takes action, wouldn't he harm the young master?"

Xiao Mobai laughed loudly: "Don't say he is a foundation-building monk. Even if his Dou family has a Nascent Soul monk sitting in charge, I will not be afraid. And a man must be true to his words and his actions must be resolute. He can't make mistakes with women, children and the elderly. You just I ask you if you would like to leave with me."

Su Jiaoruo saw that his face was full of heroism and arrogance. She was shocked by his courage and nodded repeatedly: "If you can save Jiaorui and go out to meet your grandmother, Jiaorui is willing to work with you for generations to come."

After saying this, he fell down and bowed, and then continued: "It's just that this matter needs to be considered in the long term. There should be a detailed deployment and plan, otherwise I am afraid that before I can escape from the tiger's mouth, my son will be killed."

"What you said makes sense. I wonder if there are foundation-building monks in this building?" Xiao Mobai nodded.

"On weekdays, the Dou family's foundation-building monks don't come here, but during this period of time, Dou Bolun and the two foundation-building monks of the Qianyi Sect have come here frequently to have a drink."

"oh?"

"They can be in this building now."

"I didn't see them here today."

"Okay, this is a good opportunity. As long as there are no foundation-building monks in the building, other people won't have to worry about it." Xiao Mobai said, about to pull her away.

"Sir, wait a minute. Although the foundation-building monks are not here, the guards at the attic are quite strong. Breaking in by force may not be an option and it will be difficult to succeed." Su Jiaoruo said quickly.

"How many of them are there?"

"There are seven people in total, all disciples of the Dou family. Two of them have reached the tenth level of Qi refining. They also have three pairs of Xuanling crossbows and a pair of first-level battle armor. I found out about these by accident. "

Xiao Mobai pondered for a moment: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Su Jiao said weakly: "This matter is about life and death. Don't act rashly. It may be difficult for the young master to break through alone. Plus I am a burden, it will be even harder to escape from their clutches. I want to unite with others." Wait until Zhou Xiang is deployed to attack together, so that we can escape from his clutches."

"you mean?"

"The female cultivators here are all forced by the Dou family. I will contact them secretly first, and they will definitely respond. When the time comes, they will suddenly launch an attack. I will be prepared to attack but not prepared, so I don't have to worry about failure."

"Oh? So that's it. Since you were forced by it, why didn't you escape? Instead, you were driven by it."

Su Jiaoruo said sadly: "It's not easy to escape. We were originally ordinary women. We were all captured by the Dou family before we became monks. The Dou family collected a large number of girls with spiritual roots in Qinchuan and locked them up in With the method of cultivation taught in the dark dungeon, less than one out of ten people can transform themselves into the path of cultivation."

"After they were transformed from the mortal world, the Dou family forced good girls to become prostitutes, forced them to learn secret arts, and tortured them if they disobeyed. They also selected some people to practice the secret method of furnace cauldron, and used their own spiritual power to seize others."

"They are cruel in their methods. They often skin and cramp women who refuse to obey, but do not kill them completely. They torture them every day. Many people are afraid of this torture and have no choice but to obey. Otherwise, no one would be willing to use themselves as a furnace."

Xiao Mobai said angrily: "Okay! It turns out it's still a den of thieves! The Dou family is so cruel, doesn't anyone dare to resist?"

"The Dou family has already taken precautions. Young Master sees that all the female cultivators here are at the first or second level. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"In order to completely control the female cultivators who were persecuted by them, the Dou family places spiritual restrictions on their bodies every day and does not allow them to practice. They only lift the restrictions on them when they go out to receive guests. If anyone does not obey, they will be tortured and ordered to It cannot survive but cannot survive."

"Now that the ban is imposed, what are you going to do?"

"Most of the monks who come to Wangxichuan to have fun are at night, so from Mao hour to Chen hour, the restriction on their spiritual power will be lifted."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"First of all, we must find a way to get those three sets of Xuanling crossbows and battle armor. When an incident occurs, we should cooperate inside and outside. It is best to let them spread their hands. Find a way to transfer the two tenth-level Qi Refining monks away. I have a plan. , maybe it’s feasible.”

"What's the plan?"

"The Dou family kidnapped women with spiritual roots in Qinchuan and imprisoned them in the basement of a Taoist temple a hundred miles east of the city in Fuyun County. If the young master can make some noise there, the news will spread to Here, someone from the Dou family will definitely come to reinforce us.”

"How's the defense situation there?"

"There are only three Dou family monks, and the rest are all the Dou family's lacklusters. The cultivation level of the three Dou family monks is around the fifth or sixth level. As for whether they have Yuanling crossbows or other items, I don't know."

"When will we do it?"

"I need at least seven days to contact the other persecuted female cultivators. The young master will come back here in seven days, and we will work out a detailed strategy together."

"You and others can be sure to seize the Xuanling Crossbow and the armor from the Dou family. I am not that afraid of these things. Even if I am defeated, I will just run away. I am afraid that your cultivation is weak and you cannot withstand the power of the bow and arrow."

"Three Xuanling crossbows are in the hands of three Dou family disciples. These are all wanderers. They may use some clever tricks to trick them into getting the crossbows, and use the crossbows to catch them unawares and kill them. But the armor is in Dou Yuanqing's hands. This person has a high level of cultivation, but he is also not fond of women, and he only wants to cultivate mysteries. If the young master is causing trouble in the Taoist temple, it would be best if he can trick this person away."

"good."

"Besides Dou Yuanqing, there is another person in this attic, her name is Dou Yanyu. She practices..." As Su Jiaoruo was speaking, Xiao Mobai's expression suddenly changed, he made a silent gesture to her, and picked her up by the waist. Su Jiaoruo, holding her limbs in her arms, drank a glass of wine by herself. Su Jiaorou was confused and was about to ask, when she heard footsteps outside.

After a few breaths, the door opened and Dou Ming led two female cultivators to the room.

Seeing Xiao Mobai holding Su's delicate waist with one hand and caressing her up and down while drinking and drinking, he looked slightly drunk and said apologetically: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid Miss Su can't accompany you anymore. A distinguished guest has come to our pavilion and we need Miss Su to accompany us. These two women are both good at music, so how about they replace Miss Su?"

As soon as he said the words, Xiao Mobai looked unhappy and scolded: "Wang Xichuan is very well-known among the Qinchuan monks, and the Dou family is also a famous family. How come there are no rules? Everything has to be done first, first come, first served." No? It’s Miss Su who I invited first, and you guys agreed, so you can’t change my mood without saying anything. Could it be that Xiao doesn’t pay you spiritual stones?”

Dou Ming said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please calm down. It is true that our arrangements for this matter were inappropriate. To express our apologies, the charges for this high-end room will be reduced to the local standard. This distinguished guest in our pavilion is a senior foundation-builder of the Qianyi Sect and is a good friend of Miss Su." Qin music, I hope Fellow Daoist Xiao understands it.”

Xiao Mobai changed his expression and said, "What's wrong with the Foundation Establishment Monk? Can the Foundation Establishment Monk be unreasonable and take things by force? Why does Xiao care about these hundreds of spirit stones? Everyone says that Wangxi Chuan is the best in Qinchuan. Today, It seems that the reputation is really in vain.”

After saying that, he stood up and walked away.

"Wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Xiao." Dou Ming stopped him, took out the spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to him, saying: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that senior to come here suddenly. He has a close relationship with my Dou family, and he is very fond of Miss Su. "Yin, because I have neglected my fellow Taoist, I must leave and the original number of spiritual stones will be returned."

Xiao Mobai snorted slightly, took the spirit stone, and left the hall.

When Dou Ming saw him walking away, he turned to Su Jiaowei and said, "Senior Tang and Senior Jiang are coming soon. Go to their courtyard to prepare."

"Yes." Su Jiao Rui lowered her head and responded.

…………

Outside the attic, several rays of light fell, and Tang Ning, Jiang Youzhi, Dou Bolun, and Dou Wencai entered the hall. Dou Yanyu greeted them, Yingying bowed and bowed, and led several people to the courtyard hall.

Everyone sat down one by one, and the sound of silk, bamboo and piano could be heard.

After playing the song, Tang Ning frowned slightly and asked, "Is the player still Daoist Su Su?"

"Yes, why did Senior Tang ask this question?" Dou Yanyu said

"Can you come out and see me?"

Dou Yanyu clapped her hands, and Su Jiaowei walked out from behind the crystal bead curtain with her pipa in her hands. She still looked like a weak Liu Fufeng, with a thin figure. She walked down and bowed to everyone: "I have met all of you, seniors."

"Fellow Daoist Su, why does your piano sound seem different today than in the past? Could it be that the Dou family deducted your salary?" Tang Ning said with a smile.

Jiang Youzhi also agreed with a smile and said: "Who in Wangxichuan doesn't know that Junior Brother Tang likes Miss Su's piano music the most. He always listens to her playing and singing. Who dares to criticize her harshly?"

Su Jiaoruo was shocked when she heard them talking and joking. She was really confused when she was playing, and she was not in her usual mood. Because of Xiao Mobai's words and the sudden arrival of Tang Ning and others, she I have been thinking about this matter in my mind. If they cooperate inside and outside, and Tang Ning and others suddenly arrive when they are in trouble, won't their success be undone?

Not only would she and others end up miserable, but it would also cost Xiao Mobai's life. This change made the plan in her mind even more risky. She couldn't think of how to break the situation, so she was in a state of confusion while playing, but this song she The playing was flowing smoothly, and even with her eyes closed and her ears plugged, she could play with perfect accuracy, but Tang Ning didn't know how she heard something was wrong.

At that moment, she calmed down and said, "I don't know where I made a mistake. Please give me some advice, senior."

Tang Ning said: "The sound of the piano is still the same, but the charm is no longer there. In the past, there was a lot of sadness in your piano music, but today it is very dull. But what happened?"
