Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 403 Clues

The majestic and majestic city stands among colorful clouds. There is a waterfall gushing out from under the city and falling into the roaring river under the ten thousand-meter cliff. Through the water and white mist, you can see the Heavenly Emperor sculpture on the cliff.

The suspended covered bridge passes through the waterfall falling in the sky and leads to an inconspicuous stone cave on the cliff.

Xun Mingzhang, who looked slightly pale, walked slowly across the corridor bridge, with a worried look on his eyebrows, and whispered to the man beside him:

"The situation in the Posu Continent is not optimistic. The descendants of Zuo Lingquan and even the Valkyrie of the East Continent should be in Shuanghua City. In my opinion, these two people are more difficult to deal with than the Huangyu River..."

Next to Xun Mingzhang was a middle-aged man with a cold face. He had a long purple-sheathed sword hanging on his waist. On the hand guard of the blade, there was a yin-yang fish ball shaped like an eye. It swayed from side to side like a living thing, and seemed to be listening to the words. .

The man's name is Gu Chen, the master of the Supervisor Temple and the third-in-command of the Kui Bingzhou Human Immortal Family. Not counting the perverts from Beast Race, he is also the number one martial artist in Kui Bingzhou, and his status is one level higher than Xun Mingzhang.

Hearing the words of Dongzhou Valkyrie, Gu Chen felt a little displeased on his brows.

Xun Mingzhang also understood the reason for this.

Gu Chen is the ancestor of the Supervisor Temple, and the Supervisor Temple naturally enshrines the Lord Supervisor of the West.

The Supervisor Temple is an immortal family that has been passed down from ancient times to this day. It has always been rooted in Kuibingzhou. Thanks to the blessing of the Supervisor God, it was a sect that carried the tripod for martial arts in ancient times.

But in the world, when the fairy family has great glory, there are also times when it is unlucky.

Three thousand years ago, a secular sword shop near the Superintendent's Temple forged a sword. When the sword was completed, a stream of light descended from the sky and fell on the sword.

Because there was too much movement, the Supervisor Temple naturally discovered it and saw that the sword was not an ordinary thing. They were very happy after getting it back, but unfortunately, no one in the whole sect could pull out the sword.

Gu Chen was still a young master at that time, and he was the most talented among Kui Bingzhou's generation. He felt that this sword was specially given to him by God, so he practiced swordsmanship for many years.

Until one day, a girl came from the south, sneaked into the Supervisor Temple, stole the sword and ran away.

When the ancestor of the Supervisor Temple found out, he naturally wanted to stop him. As a result, in the last battle of his life, he saw the most brilliant light in the world.

Who that woman is, I won’t go into too much detail here. Anyway, this matter has a huge impact on the Supervisor Temple, which has enshrined the White Tiger for thousands of years. Although the status of the sect has not been greatly affected, it is 'stricken by the God of Killing alone. Chong's anger was gone and he slowly began to go downhill.

As the successor, Gu Chen was very promising and raised the status of the Supervisor Temple to its current position, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not reverse the fact that he was abandoned by the Supervisor God.

When the Valkyrie didn't become the Immortal Lord, Gu Chen tried to grab the Heavenly Official Sword, but was almost beaten to death. Later, the Valkyrie became the Valkyrie, and he had no choice but to admit it.

In Xun Mingzhang's opinion, this can only be blamed on the bad luck of the Supervisor Temple.

When gods give opportunities to mortals, they usually place them on their own territory - for example, Azure Dragon gives opportunities and places them on the peach blossom ancestral tree that still has the breath. Heaven and earth belong to oneself, and who cares which mortal this territory belongs to.

Judging from the final result, the Tianguan Divine Sword was given to the Valkyrie. It did not fall directly into the warehouse of the Superintendent Temple, but the secular sword store had already reminded them that this sword did not belong to the Superintendent Temple.

However, the Temple of the Supervisor has enshrined the White Tiger for thousands of years. According to the human race, this sword should be given to them as a group of believers. Even if this is not the case, if the thing falls on their territory, according to the first-come, first-served rule, it should be theirs. How can people accept it calmly when it is taken away by outsiders?

Xun Mingzhang and Demon Sword Gu Chen came to Heavenly Emperor City at this time, and it seems to be related to this matter.

Xun Mingzhang fought outside Shuanghua City. Looking back after the incident, he felt that the strange and lethal sword of Spirit Ascension was the Heavenly Official Divine Sword in the hand of Valkyrie.

The sword was now in Zuo Lingquan's hands, and the Valkyrie was unable to escape from Dongzhou. After Gu Chen learned the news, he naturally had some thoughts.

What Xun Mingzhang said at this time was to persuade Gu Chen not to underestimate the enemy. He felt that Zuo Lingquan was a junior and the Valkyrie came to earth under the cover of others, so he didn't take them seriously.

But Demon Sword Gu Chen, as a strong man who was beaten by the Valkyrie and still survived, really didn't believe this and responded:

"You are good at the five elements of fire, but you were defeated because of the opponent's talent. If you really let go, how many jade-level juniors will you be afraid of?"

This statement makes sense. As a warlock, Xun Mingzhang would not be so passive that day if he used fire techniques to deal with the enemy. However, martial arts cultivation is much more pure, and he is more powerful than anyone else. There is no such thing as talent or restraint.

Xun Mingzhang knew the background of Demon Sword Gu Chen, so he didn’t say any unnecessary nonsense and just said:

"Putting the overall situation first, let's see what Patriarch Shang wants first."

Gu Chen pressed the handle of the knife, and walked side by side with Xun Mingzhang into the cave below the city. After walking about half a mile, he went deep into the ground, and a huge magma lake appeared in front of him.

The ground is not a natural karst cave, but a well-built refining room, with a radius of several miles. The surrounding walls and even the dome are filled with various fairy equipment and patterns. The magma lake with purple flames in the center is the earth. For the refining furnace of the furnace.

The temperature in the underground refinery room is extremely high, and mortals may turn into fly ashes before entering. There is no outsider inside, only an old man in a purple robe sitting cross-legged on the edge of the magma lake. The old craftsman is resting, but his torch-like eyes seem to be able to see into the world and smelt all things, making people dare not look directly at him easily.

The old man who can sit here is naturally the Immortal Lord Shang Yin, one of the ten strongest people in Jiuzhou, one of the four leaders of the Youying alien race, and the actual controller of Kui Bingzhou.

Kui Bingzhou has two Immortal Lords. It is reasonable to say that there is no distinction between high and low status, but in practice, no matter whether it is a monster or a craftsman, the status of a craftsman is transcendent. Although it is not the main reason, it is indeed one of the reasons why Beast Race is willing to listen to the orders of the human race.

There was mist condensing in front of Shang Yin, showing a picture.

Xun Mingzhang walked closer and saw that the picture was an extremely complex array, with words echoing inside:

"Master, this is the new formation Wu Zunyi added today. My disciple's eyes were dazzled because he just didn't understand what it was for..."

The speaker should be Zhang Hui, a monk sitting in Wangchao Beach. Xun Mingzhang is very familiar with it. The robe on his body was made by Zhang Hui.

When Shang Yin saw the two people coming, he didn't look back and said directly:

"Ming Zhang, can you see the secret behind this picture?"

Xun Mingzhang walked closer, frowned and carefully observed the formation pictures, and nodded slightly:

"It's wonderful. This formation diagram deserves to be described as ingenious. However, the key points are still a bit unclear to me. I hope Senior Shang can give me some advice."

Shang Yin shook his head: "That means I don't understand it at all. It's not surprising. Apart from me, there is probably no other person in the world who can understand the intricacies of this formation."

Demon Sword Gu Chen is a martial arts cultivator. Even Xun Mingzhang saw something lonely. Naturally, he had no idea and asked:

"What is this formation diagram for?"

"This is just a part of the refining map. Looking at the structure, there is a shadow of the summoning array. It should be used to communicate with the gods and the earth. However, the structure is much more exquisite than the summoning array..."

Shang Yin is a weapon refiner, and a common problem among weapon refiners is that they are more interested in strange and clever things than others.

Shang Yin didn't care whether the two of them understood or not. He talked about the beauty of the array diagram for a long time before he stopped talking and turned around:

"Gu Chen, did you come here to ask for orders to take charge of Posuzhou instead of Ming Zhang?"

Yaodao Guchen nodded slightly: "Xun Fellow Daoist was injured by the Heavenly Official Divine Sword, so it is difficult to take charge of the overall situation in a short time, and Posuozhou cannot really fall into the hands of Huajunzhou..."

Shang Yin raised his hand slightly to stop Gu Chen's words:

"The deity has already sent Shangqi to the past, and the battle in Posuozhou can be dragged on slowly. At present, it is mainly in the southeast; the others have already set off with Mei Jinshui, and the deity has to keep an eye on it all the time. I don't have time to deal with it. "Zan Shi, if you leave again, Ming Zhang and the others will not be able to control the situation, so just stay in the sect for the next few years."

Although Kui Bingzhou's human race and Beast Race are currently in alliance, the eternal hatred of the weak and the strong will never be erased. For example, Xun Mingzhang never regarded Xuan Ye as one of his own. Once there was no strong person to suppress him, civil strife would inevitably occur.

Although Gu Chen wanted to get back his Tianguan Divine Sword, Shang Yin wouldn't let him go, so he couldn't say anything. He just complained a little:

"With Senior Shang's name here, Kui Bingzhou won't be able to cause trouble, and I will be an idler here."

Shang Yin shook his head at these words and raised his hand to indicate the formation diagram behind him:

"Don't talk too much, the apprentice of the deity who doesn't worship the teacher threatened to show the deity some color, and I don't know what he is holding back. If you can't stop the gate god at that time, if you are beaten to the ground by the deity's apprentice, you will be ashamed! Lost too much."

Gu Chen frowned when he heard this, while Xun Mingzhang said in confusion:

"Mr. Shang, you know that Wu Zunyi has evil intentions, but you still let him go through trouble?"

Shang Yin sighed softly: "You are not craftsmen, and you don't understand the suffering of having nowhere to learn and discussing the pain of having no friends. This deity is invincible in the world of crafts refining. I have seen all the methods in the world, and it is already very difficult to find one that can make this deity look at you. something bright.

"This is the same as the sword god Huang Chao saw Zuo Lingquan. Standing on the Juejian Cliff, Huang Chao looked at Zuo Lingquan for a long time like a resentful woman. Was he amazed at Zuo Lingquan's swordsmanship? No, it was not easy to see one, yes Maybe Miaozi, who sat down and explored the kendo with him, finally had living water in his almost numb heart and was looking forward to it.

"This person has been invincible for too long, and he has this problem. Wu Zunyi, not only to deal with me, but even if he refines a magic weapon and beats me to death, I will have broadened my horizons before dying, and I will die without regrets."

These words can only be understood by those who are ranked as Immortal Lords. Xun Mingzhang could only nod thoughtfully, then thought about it and said:

"Zuo Lingquan should be in Posu Continent right now. As Patriarch Shang said, this son is very evil. Now he has reached the Jade level. If we let him grow wildly for a few more years, no one may be able to suppress him..."

"Zuo Lingquan is Shangguan Yutang three thousand years ago. This kind of freak who is favored by Heavenly Escape. If anyone gets in the way and gets into trouble, don't worry about it for now. When Dongzhou starts fighting, he will rush back and let Mei Jinshui deal with it. .”

Xun Laomo thinks about it. Although they are in alliance with Beishouzhou, they are still the forces of two continents. Their relationship with Mei Jinshui is not as close as that with Northwest Beast Race; this kind of evil opponent can make Beishouzhou It takes manpower and material resources to deal with it, so there is no need to do it personally...

——

A few days later.

Zuo Lingquan traveled day and night, traveling along the secular official road to the frontier fortress. When he came to crowded places, he would drive and ride horses. When there were few people, he would walk carefully on foot. It took him half a month to reach Jiugong Mountain.

Jiugong Mountain is a place name, not very famous in the secular world, but on the way of practice, it is a ferry and a market with dense flow of immortals. The owner behind it is the Temple of Supervisors, which is famous for selling all kinds of scarce ores. No matter day or night, the market is overcrowded .

Now that we have reached this point, the scrutiny on the identity of the monks has naturally become much smaller. As long as no flaws are exposed, basically no one will come to ask about the origins.

To be on the safe side, Zuo Lingquan did not pretend to be an Independent Cultivator, but forged the ID card of a small sect he met on the road and hung it on his waist, pretending to buy goods for the sect, and entered the market together with the three girls. city.

Zuo Lingquan, like other low-level monks, first found an inn in the market to stay, and then Miss Qiu and Jingxun, who were not good at inquiring about information at the bottom, stayed behind. Furukawa's chance.

The Cangsha Ancient River is an area that is explicitly prohibited from approaching. The foreign monks in the market know where it is, but that's all. Not to mention trying to enter, even asking what is going on inside will attract attention.

For this reason, Zuo Lingquan could only walk around the market, looking for clues in the words and deeds of the people passing by. This visit lasted for three days, and the time came to the eighth day of September—Xuan Ye revealed that there would be someone in Cangsha Ancient River in the Nine Palaces The day when Mt.

At noon, Zuo Lingquan was walking on the street in a disciple's robe without a sword, his eyes wandering around the monks.

Xie Qiutao has rich experience in life at the bottom, so her behavior at this time is more natural, she still stops in front of the carpet on the side of the street, haggling with the little monk, looking like a little junior sister from a small sect who is out shopping.

Zuo Lingquan is also not very good at using words to extract information, so he was just a bodyguard. When Qiutao was bargaining, he stood on the side of the road and observed the passers-by. A conversation attracted:

"...It's cold in the north, and lusty snakes are scarce. It's hard to find the gallbladder of this kind of lusty snake. I just don't know how effective it is..."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist about the efficacy of the medicine. He is very overbearing. Two years ago, a stupid young man came to buy it. He didn't ask how to use it and secretly swallowed it alive on the way back."

"Swallowing the gallbladder of an obscene snake alive? What's the result?"

"What else could have happened? It took half a month for me to be found by my fellow disciples. I was holding a tree in a ravine and fighting with each other, just like a woodpecker, thump, thump, thump..."

"Hoo-!"

…

Zuo Lingquan was naturally not attracted by this exciting story - although there were some, but it was not the main reason - what caught his attention was the phrase 'It's cold in the north'.

Zuo Lingquan pretended to be attracted by the topic, and walked slowly to the door of the elixir shop to watch. It can be seen that there is an old man inside. His realm should be Late Stage in the secluded bamboo. It is definitely not low in the market. The sign hanging on his waist is very strange. After getting to know each other these days, it doesn’t look like Kui Bingzhou’s sect.

The result was as expected by Zuo Lingquan. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy quickly said:

"I heard that Beishouzhou does not produce obscene snakes. What do the Fellow Daoists there usually use to replenish their bodies?"

The old man who bought the medicinal materials replied: "Suo Yanzi, the fairy grass brought by the Immortal Lord Mei before, is suitable for cultivation in the alpine region. The medicinal effect is not inferior to that of the evil snake, but the growth is too slow..."

"Mei Immortal Lord is a female cultivator, and she still carries such an item?"

"What you said is wrong. Doctors are benevolent. There is no right to speak of medicinal materials. You open a medicine shop and you don't have any awareness at all?"

"That's right, I'm superficial. The immortal seems to be of high moral character. Is it possible that he came all the way to Jiugong Mountain to find an opportunity?"

"No, just stop by and bring a letter to Fellow Daoist..."

…

The two people in the shop kept talking, and Zuo Lingquan listened carefully, trying to get valuable information from them.

But after listening for a while without hearing the main point, I noticed something was wrong from the corner of my eye.

In the blink of an eye, Qiutao, who was haggling in front of the street stall, didn't even say hello to him. She walked towards the exit of the market and walked half a street silently...

——

a moment ago.

With a very cute smile, Xie Qiutao squatted on the street and bargained with the street stall monks to buy a turtle shell from the street stall.

Xie Qiutao has a deep research on turtles. The little dragon turtle she picked up is still kept in Cui Yingying's attic. The turtle shell in front of her is very similar to hers, and it is no surprise that they are the same species.

Spiritual beasts all have a place to live, and there must be an exclusive blessing for such spiritual beasts nearby. What is Xie Qiutao's next priority when buying a turtle shell? What he wants to ask most is the place of origin of this turtle shell.

It's a pity that the monks who set up the stalls are also experts. They ask for high prices and don't say anything if they don't want to buy. They are very tough.

Even if Xie Qiutao bought it, the information she got might have been picked up casually. Naturally, she couldn't waste money and just keep arguing with the monk. Anyway, she and Zuo Lingquan had nothing else to do.

But Xie Qiutao didn't hold on for long when a man suddenly stopped next to him, squatted down next to him, picked up the turtle shell on the stall and looked at it carefully.

Xie Qiutao first glanced at Zuo Lingquan out of the corner of his eye and saw him leaning against the wall in front of the drug store, only a few feet away. Then he looked back and looked at the people around him, and was stunned for a moment.

The person next to him is a middle-aged man in a green robe. He looks to be in his thirties. He has a bamboo flute on his waist. His face is unfamiliar, but that is not the point. The point is that there is a sign hanging next to the bamboo flute on his waist. .

The brand is completely black and made of water jade. The front is a relief of the turtle and snake Body Integration. It is exquisitely made. As for the back, although Xie Qiutao cannot see it, she knows that it must be engraved with the words 'Black Tortoise' - because she also has a piece of such a brand. , is the waist card of Black Tortoise station.

? !

When Xie Qiutao encountered an old thing in a foreign country, no matter how good his mind was, his mind was shocked and he felt lost for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist, how can I sell this turtle shell?"

"Eight hundred fairy money, no bargaining, this little fairy also wants to buy it. According to the rules, you two will discuss it, whoever bids the higher price will get it."

"Oh, girl, you want to buy this turtle shell too?...Girl?"

…

Xie Qiutao didn't listen to the noisy words at all. It wasn't until the middle-aged man shook his hand that she realized something strange about herself. She quickly calmed down and responded:

"I'm just taking a look. Fellow Daoist can take it if he wants."

"Oh, thank you very much."

The middle-aged man looked like he was not short of money. He took out eight gold-lined baht and handed it to the vendor, then got up and followed the team - there were about ten people in the team, both men and women, all dressed in uniform. They looked like they were out to purchase supplies. Door monk.

Xie Qiutao knew something was wrong with her state. The tremor in her mind made it almost impossible for her to think. Her eyes lingered on the sign on the middle-aged man's waist, trying to convince herself that it was just a coincidence; but as the middle-aged man moved around, the words 'Black Tortoise' on the back of the sign appeared. After the words were revealed, the pain and anger of wandering alone for many years could no longer be suppressed, and the footsteps followed involuntarily.

Fortunately, not far away, Xie Qiutao's wrist was held by a warm hand, and soft words came from beside him:

"Junior sister, don't call me when you go back after shopping. If master knows that you go home alone, he will scold me again..."

Xie Qiutao came back to his senses for a moment and turned around to see Zuo Lingquan standing next to her with a smile but looking at her doubtfully.

"Senior brother..."

After Xie Qiutao murmured two words, it was difficult to think of words anymore, so she secretly took out her pocket card, put it in Zuo Lingquan's hand, and continued walking forward.

Zuo Lingquan calmly sensed the waist badge, his eyes naturally fell on the waist of the middle-aged man in front, and he was stunned for a moment...
