Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 45 The Demon Locking Soul Cup

In the next few days, Zuo Lingquan led a dozen of his fellow disciples to patrol the Evergreen Mountains, taking the old road to Heixiazi Ridge.

The job of patrolling the mountain was extremely boring, and there was nothing remarkable about it. The only gain was that I followed the two young senior sisters in the alchemy room and got to know a lot of herbal medicines, such as 'Snake Letter Grass' and 'Firefly Root Grass'. and other common Spirit Medicine.

According to the original arrangement, the mountain patrol mission would continue until the end of the quota election. However, Zuo Lingquan had just patrolled for three days when Wu Qingwan sent a message asking him to return to the capital. Jiang Yi came to find him; he took the team with him. Returned to Qihuang Valley, rested for a day and then continued the next day.

Three or four days have passed, and the central square of Qihuang Valley has changed drastically. Countless disciples have built various facilities on it, and the surrounding corridors and pavilions are also undergoing general cleaning.

After Zuo Lingquan went to the sword-holding room to recover, he rode his horse through the ten-mile willow forest and arrived at the small town outside the gate.

As the news of the shocking news was released in a hurry, Dadan rushed to the monks from all over the country much faster than expected. Basically, they learned about it on the first day and arrived the next day. Even those who were far away on the border of Dadan Fuqi Mountain in Beiya County is already halfway there.

These low-level monks, whose cultivation level is no more than 90% of the sixth level, are definitely not qualified to compete for the quota. They come to the capital to try their luck and find opportunities.

Zuo Lingquan rode out of the Bajiao Archway on horseback and saw a sea of ​​people in the town outside the gate. Even stalls were set up on both sides of the official road outside the town.

The monks who came from all over the world gathered in front of various stalls to bargain. Occasionally, a senior with a "profound" Taoism passed by, which would cause many exclamations, and some even kowtowed on the spot to become a disciple.

There were no less than a few thousand people gathered in the town, and it was impossible to ride a horse. Zuo Lingquan dismounted and led him on foot, looking at the items sold by Dadan Independent Cultivator along the way.

Practitioners below the sixth level are not much different from ordinary people. High-end heavenly materials and earthly treasures cannot be used even if they are obtained - of course, they are generally not found in the Great Dan Dynasty - what is sold on the street is ordinary. Objects, and occasionally a few spiritual grasses can be seen. Zuo Lingquan strolled around for a while, and unexpectedly saw a seller selling Zhan Gang knives.

The Zhan Gang Dao is actually an ordinary weapon, but it is coated with a kind of spiritual grass powder. The objects used by people in practice are generally called 'Law Weapon', which can produce certain effects when infused with True Qi. There are some in Qihuang Valley, and they are all in the hands of the master and deacon. It is said that the National Master also has one from the outside. The 'Spiritual Weapon' he brought back, Zuo Lingquan couldn't refine True Qi, and he couldn't use the Law Weapon after seeing it. What he didn't know was too specific.

Law Weapon is a rare item in Qihuang Valley, and it is even more important when placed among Independent Cultivators. It is not easily taken out, let alone bought and sold. It is generally not seen in small towns.

Zuo Lingquan walked from the end of the street to the street without seeing anything that caught his eye, and slowly came to the entrance of Qihuang Town. The entrance to the town is a place where people must pass, and it has the most stalls and the most people. There is a tea stall next to the entrance, which has now been rented and turned into a grocery stall. There are messy items on the table, and a group of people gather around to pick and choose.

Zuo Lingquan walked up to him and glanced around. He didn't see anything that caught his eye. Instead, he saw an acquaintance - Lao Lu, wearing a bamboo hat on his head. He had a sword hanging from his waist and his hands behind his back. He was looking down at a small porcelain bowl on the stall.

Zuo Lingquan was slightly surprised. He led the horse to the front and greeted:

"Mr. Lu? Why are you here too?"

When Lao Lu heard Zuo Lingquan's greeting, he seemed to realize it and smiled hoarsely:

"It's lively here, come and take a look."

Most of the monks who left the sect and wanted to buy things had to come to this kind of 'immortal market'. Zuo Lingquan was not surprised by this. He followed Lao Lu's gaze and looked at the porcelain bowl on the stall.

The porcelain bowl was only the size of a palm, and it was covered with gauze. Through the gauze, you could see a small black beetle crawling around in the porcelain bowl. Apart from the fact that it was as dark as ink, there was nothing special about it.

The owner of the street stall is an old monk over fifty years old. He closes his eyes and concentrates in a very noble manner. Seeing that the old man and the young man were just watching and not talking, they were a little anxious and said:

"Two Fellow Daoists, this insect is called 'Night Fiend'. It is the bloodline of ancient mythical beasts. It only takes a hundred years to mature. It has the power to move mountains and seas... Last year, I traveled alone to the land of thousands of miles in the Evergreen Mountains. By chance, By coincidence, we met by chance..."

Forced to nag...

Zuo Lingquan didn't bother to listen at all, so he came up to Lao Lu and asked:

"Does this little bug have an explanation?"

Lao Lu shook his head:

"I'm looking at the bowl."

?

The stall owner's expression froze, but he responded quickly:

"At that time, the insect king was sealed in this bowl. This bowl is called the 'Monster Locking and Soul-Suppressing Cup'..."

Zuo Lingquan tilted his head slightly, not knowing why, and asked:

"Old man, what's the price?"

The stall owner looked like he was reluctant to give up his love, and he hesitated for a while before saying:

"Seeing that the two Fellow Daoists are destined to be together, I don't want much. I only need two white jade bahts, including worms and a bowl..."

Zuo Lingquan only had three white jade bahts, which were given to him by his fiancée. He definitely didn’t want to use them. He recalled the converted price of the white jade bahts and held out two fingers:

"Two Liang, if you don't sell it, then..."

"Deal! Fellow Daoist is happy."

The stall owner clapped his hands, picked up the porcelain bowl and handed it to Zuo Lingquan, as if he was sorry for meeting him so late.

Zuo Lingquan's words stopped suddenly and he opened his mouth, feeling blood loss.

It was only two taels of silver, so there was really nothing to talk about. He took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it to the stall owner, then took the porcelain bowl.

"Ouch~ Fellow Daoist, I gave you too much and I can't find it."

"Forget it, I'll reward you."

Zuo Lingquan took the porcelain bowl and left the stall with Lao Lu, saying somewhat uncertainly:

"Mr. Lu, this porcelain bowl looks ordinary no matter how you look at it, do you have any explanation?"

Lao Lu shook his head and sighed, took the porcelain bowl, threw the little beetle to Zuo Lingquan, then turned the porcelain bowl over, indicating the small words "Jing Chong Three Years System" on the bottom of the bowl.

This year is the third year of Jing Chong's reign.

? ?

Zuo Lingquan held the small black beetle and spread his hands, he hesitated to speak.

Lao Lu smiled, took out a small porcelain bottle from somewhere, and threw it to Zuo Lingquan:

"Don't buy things in this kind of place in the future. There are so many natural and earthly treasures in the world for you to miss. This little bug is poisonous and not very valuable, but ten taels of silver is not too bad. Take it back and raise it, just treat it as a treasure. Long memory."

"Been taught a lesson."

Zuo Lingquan spent all his money, but it could only be used as a long memory. He stuffed the black beetle into the bottle and put it in his sleeve.

Lao Lu looked back at the crowded Qihuang Valley and asked:

"Going to Jingtai Terrace this time to bring down the great fortune is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You are still young, so you are not going to fight for it?"

Zuo Lingquan really wanted to go out to see the world, but he wouldn't force it, he thought for a while and said:

"There are cultivation requirements, so I can't go. Besides, I'm the son-in-law of Great Dan, and the princess is still here. I really can go, but I won't go now. I think the purpose of practicing is to be free, and be led by Fuyuan, isn't it? Putting the cart before the horse."

When Lao Lu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully:

"That's right. The road to immortality is long. No matter whether it's a blessing or a disaster ahead, you will never forget your original intention and walk your own way. If you can keep this original intention, your future road will not be short."

"Then we have to be able to get on the road..."

…

——

The monks from various counties arrived one after another, and the river where thousands of sails gathered was more prosperous than before. A cruise ship full of dignitaries from the capital slowly sailed across the river, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the coast.

Laughter and flute are intertwined on the cruise ship, and the rich and powerful in the capital are pushing cups and changing cups in the boat building.

At the window of the private room on the second floor of the ship building, Hubu Shangshu Wang Zheng, holding a wine glass in his hand, looked at the endless mountains at the end of his vision, and said slowly:

"Fuji Mountain has watched the Fengshui treasure land of Qihuang Valley for many years, and has guessed about the safety of the national teacher, but because of the prestige of the national teacher, he dare not act rashly. This time the imperial court summoned Fuqi Mountain to Beijing, and the owner of the mountain, Cheng Jiujiang, came here in person. With the intention of exploring the truth of the Imperial Master..."

In the private room, sitting Zhao Ze who let out the Golden Retriever Roar last time, but dressed as Yuanwailang, he responded:

"Our Heavenly Venerable is only afraid of Yue Pingyang. Although Cheng Jiujiang's cultivation is advanced, he is still inferior to our Heavenly Venerable. As long as we can find out the reality of Yue Pingyang..."

When Wang Zheng heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, turned around and sat down:

"Master Zhao, you say you Heavenly Venerable are powerful all day long, but you haven't seen how capable you are. Last time you let a tiger make trouble on Xinghua Street, and your breasts slapped loudly. How can you say 'golden gun roar' and 'enhance your yang'?" , In the end, he just yelled and died suddenly on the spot. The body was dragged away by Qihuang Valley intact, without even a single hair. Do you think you came to plot against Qihuang Valley, or did you come here to aid the enemy? "

Zhao Ze Qi Refining Jiuzhong is also considered to be a bit of a Taoist, but the word "Xianchang" must not be worthy of it.

When mentioning the sudden death of Golden Retriever Roar last time, Zhao Ze was also a little puzzled, and reluctantly explained:

"People are afraid of fierce beasts, but fierce beasts are also afraid of people. It's not impossible that the golden-haired roar was caught from the mountains and suddenly put into the downtown area, where it was frightened to death by the lights all over the street..."

"Don't talk about it, if something goes wrong, it's a mess. Li Xiang scolded me bloody. If you Heavenly Venerable really want to become the master of Qihuang Valley, you should use your real skills to do something real."

"That's natural."

"The princess and Qihuanggu have already become suspicious of Fuqi Mountain. This time, as long as they take the opportunity to provoke them and let the two sides fight, the national teacher will definitely come out to stabilize the situation; if the national teacher does not show up, it means something is wrong with the body. They will definitely take action first; when the time comes, you can just sit back and reap the benefits, and Prime Minister Li can also use the excuse of the princess's unclear knowledge to push the princess out of power."

"I am a cultivator. These schemes and tricks are not comparable to those of Mr. Wang. You can just arrange them."

"What a conspiracy, this is called planning!"

Wang Zheng leaned on the chair and thought for a moment:

"This time, Qihuanggu and the princess attach great importance to the income of the terrace. Li Xiang has heard the news. The son-in-law of the eldest princess has been patrolling the Changqing Mountain in recent days. If the son-in-law A sudden death in Evergreen Mountain can not only lose Qihuang Valley's face, but also frame Fuqi Mountain, stir up grievances between the two sides, and by the way, replace the consort, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

Zhao Ze nodded slowly and asked: "Is the consort a practitioner? What kind of practice?"

"I'm not good at Taoism, but my martial arts skills are good. I got the grace of the eldest princess, so I practiced in Qihuang Valley. Don't tell me that you can't even deal with an ordinary person?"

"Ordinary people can handle it, just don't worry, Mr. Wang."

"Don't mention 'don't worry' to me, I'm tired of it. I told you in advance, that kid's family is very rich. Although he is an ordinary person, if he really fights, Law Treasure will definitely throw out money..."

Zhao Ze's face changed slightly and he sat up straighter:

"Law Treasure?! Is what Mr. Wang said true?"

"How do I know? When you practitioners fight, can your opponent tell you what's at the bottom of the box first?"

"Haha, it turned out to be a joke..."

"Am I kidding?"

Wang Zheng got a little angry when he said this:

"You practitioners, you don't know how to live to such an old age. People will die, never because of stupidity, but because of arrogance. No matter how stupid people are, they will not go into the pit, but their own The older man does it because he thinks he can't die if he falls. Do you understand what this means?"

Zhao Ze thought for a moment: "Master Wang's words are reasonable."

"It's reasonable and you have to keep it in mind. No matter how big or small, you can deal with it with the attitude of a lion fighting a rabbit. The opponent is alone, and you send two killers. It seems reasonable, but can it be foolproof? No. What is foolproof? The opponent is alone , you send ten thousand killers, if you miss, I will chop off your head and give it to you."

Zhao Ze nodded seriously: "I understand. I will contact people around the capital right away. No matter who they are, I will do my best."

"Hmph——, I guess you have to mess things up this time, remember to let them wear some things from Fushi Mountain, and deal with the corpses; if you can't kill people, you have to pour out the dirty water, don't fuck After planning it, I exposed myself and cleared the name of Fujishan."

"Master Wang, your words are a bit too contemptuous..."

"Look, you don't believe in evil, right? Something happened. It's you who died, not me. What's the use of me looking down on you? Then I'll burn two more papers for you, and I'm heartbroken. , It’s a pity. Are you happy? Why don’t you go over and burn two paper-tied girls for you?”

Zhao Ze took a breath, nodded slightly, stood up and walked out:

"No more talking, let's go do some work."
