Chapter 561 Layout

Pure Heart and Pure Edge got the news and brought the monks to meet them.

When Vajra Du Nang saw his beloved disciple Pure Edge, he had an insight into his injuries at a glance:

“The blade intent is born within the body and is indelible. Is this something he injured?”

After Chai Xing’er secretly sent leaks of information, Pure Heart immediately notified Du Nang Vajra with secret methods, and Du Nang already knew that Xu Qi’an was in Xiangzhou.

Pure Edge’s face was pale as he nodded his head slightly, ashamed, “Disciple was incompetent and failed to leave behind the Buddha’s son.”

The Vajra of Duo Nang said indifferently, “Go inside and talk about it.”

The monks entered the Chai Mansion and took their seats in the hall, and Jingshen told Dounan Vajra about what happened in Xiangzhou, one by one.

“That Chai Xing’er is said to be “Tian Ji Palace” spies, has been informed to the higher-ups, Buddha did not kill us, is afraid of the spies to come, found that the matter is exposed, kill a whole bunch of people.”

Nettlesome gives a final summary.

“Pity.”

Du Nang Vajra regretted, “If I had arrived one step earlier, I could have captured the Buddha’s son and fulfilled the instructions of Bodhisattva Garuda Tree.”

He got up and left the chair, walking to Pure Edge’s side, his palm pressed on Pure Edge’s right shoulder, and light golden qi surged into his beloved disciple’s body, shattering the remnants of saber intent in his internal organs and meridians.

The skin on all parts of Pure Edge’s body suddenly chapped and blood flowed.

He stifled a grunt, his face turning white as beads of sweat rolled down his face.

“What a domineering blade intent.”

Du Nang Vajra commented, then shook his head, “No, on the occasion of this intent’s annihilation, it erupted once again, preferring to be shattered. Buddha’s son’s fourth grade blade intent ………”

Pure Edge’s face gradually turned red, just like a person who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Seeing the Master’s grave expression, he asked, “What is the meaning of this?”

There is no “intention” in the third grade of vajra, and the eighth grade martial arts monks are directly promoted to the third grade, and the actual cultivation process follows the path of a martial artist, but after the fifth grade of hua jin, the martial arts monks can leap over the fourth grade, comprehending the great success of vajra shen gong and directly promoted to the third grade.

In other words, the invincible defense of the Vajra Divine Power is “intention”.

“This intent can no longer be described as overbearing and rigid, those in the same realm who fight with him must be prepared to burn with jade and stone.” Du Nang Vajra said.

“Why?” Pure Edge frowned.

“Because that is his intention, only for the jade to be broken, not for the tile to be broken.” Du Nang Vajra said slowly.

Pure Edge and Pure Heart glanced at each other, once again realizing how terrifying Xu Qi’an was, the Buddha son was deservedly the number one of his peers.

“Senior Uncle Du Nhan, what business are you going on this time with Senior Uncles Duo Emotion Luo Han and Du Fan?” Pure Heart asked.

Du Nang Vajra said in a deep voice, “I was going to make a trip to Subterranean Dragon City, but on the way, I received your message, so I turned back.”

Subterranean City?

Pure Heart glanced at Pure Edge and found the same doubt in the other’s eyes, so he asked, “When can it be more important than collecting the dragon’s qi and capturing the Buddha’s son?”

The Dukan Vajra is silent.

Pure Heart didn’t ask any more questions, and tried, “So what’s next for us, are we going directly to Yongzhou, or are we going to wait here for a few more days?”

Du Nang mused for a moment, “We leave in the morning.”

At night, Du Nang Vajra was meditating in his room in the outer courtyard of the Chai Mansion, when the door of the room was suddenly “snapped” twice, and someone was outside, knocking on the door.

Duo Nang Vajra said in a slow voice, “Come in.”

The door to the room pushed open and a cloaked figure walked in, a man by the looks of it.

“See Excessively Difficult Diamond.”

The cloaked man’s voice was low and magnetic.

“You’re a scout from the Heavenly Chance Palace?” Du Nang Vajra maintained his meditative stance, not even opening his eyes.

“Exactly.”

The cloaked man replied.

“Is the Heavenly Chance Palace owned by that Second Grade Warlock?” Du Nang Vajra asked.

“Yes.”

The cloaked man did not make any concealment and respectfully said, “When the Palace Master gave the task of searching for the Dragon Qi Host, he said that the Buddhist Sect was a friend that could be cooperated with, so I came. The Palace Master anticipates things like God and never misses.”

Seeing that Vajra Dunan was sitting in meditation, he continued:

“That’s just it, since the Dragon Qi has been obtained by the Buddhist Sect, the Tianji Palace has nothing to say. Only, I have already explored the Chai Mansion and have not seen Chai Xing’er. She is my Tian Ji Palace’s person, I still hope that the Buddha Sect will be magnanimous and return the person to Tian Ji Palace.”

Du Nang Vajra opened his eyes and shook his head in a deep voice, “Chai Xing’er is not in the hands of the Buddhist Sect.”

The cloaked man was silent for a moment and laughed, “It seems that some accidents have happened in Xiangzhou, so please ask Vajra to tell us.”

Inside the room, the candlelight was like beans, and the orange halo couldn’t be illuminated more than five meters away.

“The man is coming.”

Duo Nang Vajra’s words caused the breathing underneath the cloak to turn ragged.

Then, Vajra Du Nang told the cloaked man the beginning and end of what he had heard from Pure Heart.

The cloaked man listened intently, word for word, thought for a long time, and said:

“The Palace Master had said that sooner or later that person would enter the rivers and lakes to collect the Dragon Qi. He failed to retrieve the Dragon Vein in the capital. The Jianghu is a new opportunity. The Palace Master shattered the Dragon Vein, and apart from destroying the foundation of the Great Fathers, the other purpose is for this.

“Once he fails to retrieve the dragon qi in that person’s body, then he will change the battlefield and hunt him in the rivers and lakes. The Palace Master anticipates things as if they were God, and with every step of the way, he has long had everything under control.

“Master, we might as well cooperate.”

Duo Nang Vajra scrutinized him, “How do you, a secret agent, know so much?”

The cloaked man smiled and didn’t answer.

Duo Nang Vajra said, “How do you want to cooperate, he has a method of concealing his breath, and his disguise is so skillful that it’s hard to find him, let alone catch him.”

The cloaked man was silent for a few seconds and smiled:

“Sometimes catching prey isn’t always about the chase; good hunters, know how to make traps.

“There are two proven ways to deal with him: one, use the Dragon Qi Host to lure him out. This plan can only be used once, and with his intelligence, it will be difficult the second time.

“Secondly, rape and pillage and do all the bad things in the regions where he may be found, but wherever he knows it, he will surely come. This trick can be used many times.

“Tian Ji Palace out of the Dragon Qi Host?” The Vajra of Duo Nang directly discarded the second one.

Buddhist Vajra does not avoid killing, but only kills those who should be killed, enemies, evil people, averse people, etc. Indiscriminate killing of innocents will make one’s mind haunted by demons.

The cloaked man nodded and said:

“According to the reliable information I’ve gotten, the opening of the martial arts conference in Yongzhou is just around the corner, and with all the heroes gathering, he’ll definitely go to it to search for the Dragon Qi Host hidden in the crowd.

“We only need to control a few Dragon Qi hosts, arrange for them to move around Yongzhou City, closely monitor the movements around the hosts, and once that person shows up, immediately close the net and catch a turtle in a jar.”

The Protector Vajra nodded slowly, “He has already broken free of some of the seals, and in last night’s conflict, the Soul Regenerating Mirror was unable to shake his Yuan Shen, and if the guess is correct, the Demon Sealing Nail in the Hundred Meeting Points has already been unlocked.”

The cloaked man mused, “In that case, a third grade martial artist’s premonition of a crisis will cause the difficulty of an ambush to skyrocket. This matter has to be considered in the long run, and to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I will immediately send a message to the Palace Master and ask for his opinion.”

………….

On this day, the team of five arrived at Yongzhou City after a day and night of expedited traveling.

Xu Qi’an had shed his handsome and dashing appearance from his previous life for a plain and unimpressive one, and the same was true for Li Lingsu.

As for Heng Yin and Mu Nan Jasmine, the former was wrapped in a cloak and the latter wore a drapery.

Even the filly had done some camouflage, Xu Qi’an painting her hooves white with dye and coloring her fur black.

So the filly went from a yellow dragon hussar, to a snow treading ouzel.

Xu Qi’an also realized that the filly was still too conspicuous and the only break in the team.

After all, people can be disfigured, horses are hard to disfigure, even though they all look the same to most people.

Entering Yongzhou City, Xu Qi’an traveled lightly to one of the best inns in Yongzhou City: the Undrunken Residence.

However, I was told that it was full and there were no extra rooms available.

After finding a few more inns, there were still no rooms.

Li Lingsu let out a “tsk”: “Yongzhou is organizing a martial arts conference, and all the inns in the city, good and bad, are full. Strange, you said that Yongzhou has no place for even a fourth grade, what kind of martial arts conference is being held?”

There were four pins in Yongzhou, but all of them had official positions and were in the imperial court. In the Jianghu, there were no fourth-ranked experts.

Lei Zheng of the Dragon God Fortress and Gongsun Xiangyang of the Gongsun Family were all at the fifth grade of Harmonization Power, just a foot short of the fourth grade, but how could they not step over the threshold?

Mu Nan gardenia sitting on the back of the horse, small waist with the bumps gently shaking, sniffed, lightly hummed: “Someone brain a jerk chant.”

Li Lingsu laughed, “What does Mrs. Xu mean by that?”

Probably because the three words “Mrs. Xu” are really pleasing to the ear, Mu Nanjian glanced at Xu Qi’an and said, “This is the guy who suggested it.”

? Question marks flashed through Li Lingsu’s mind, the martial arts convention in Yongzhou was organized by Xu Qian? How come he never said that, no, what was his intention in organizing this martial arts convention.

The holy son glanced at Xu Qian and saw that he had no intention of explaining, so he wisely held back his curiosity and did not ask more questions.

Fortunately, Yongzhou city is large, the number of inns, looking around, finally found a fairly passable, and there are empty rooms in the inn.

After bringing Li Lingsu and Mu Nanjian to check in, Xu Qi’an sat at his desk as usual, thinking about his next plan.

“The martial arts tournament in Yongzhou is a quick way for me to collect dragon qi, but the same is true for the Buddhist Sect, the Witch God Sect, and Xu Pingfeng.

“They’re bound to catch wind of it, that much has been confirmed from Pure Heart and the others, the next stop for the Buddhist Sect is here.

“Reverse reasoning, the Buddhist Sect and Xu Pingfeng and the others can definitely think that I won’t give up this opportunity. Thinking differently, if I were them, what would I do?

“Hehe, must be to seize this opportunity, collect dragon qi, as well as against me ………. But I have the ability of the Heavenly Compass “Shifting Star” to conceal my breath, and the Qi Looking Technique is useless to me.

“How will they find me?”

Xu Qi’an pinched his brow and suddenly had an idea: “The Gongsun Family and the Dragon God Castle are groundlings, let them be my eyes and ears for information.”

Thinking of this, he got up and left the room, snapping the door of Li Ling Su’s room.

“Seniors?”

Li Lingsu opened the door and sidled up to invite him inside, then walked over to the table and poured water as she did so:

“I’m trying to impact the seal, Sister Rong is at the peak of the Fourth Grade, I just stepped into the Fourth Grade back then, and there’s a huge difference in strength between me and her. For a while, it’s impossible to break through the seal. It would be great if I could have a Dao Sect expert to help me.

“When are we going to make a trip to the capital? My senior sister is now a fourth rank, she can unseal the seal for me.”

Your senior sister is difficult to protect herself, it is better to let your master come to unseal the seal for you ……… Xu Qi an did not drink tea and said dryly:

“Come out with me.”

“Where to?” Li Ling Su subconsciously asked after him.

“Go and find out.”

Li Lingsu let out an “Oh” and turned around to walk towards the outside of the house, but when she saw that Xu Qian didn’t follow her, she said in confusion, “Senior?”

At this time, outside the open window, a sparrow flew in, lifted its wings and landed on Li Lingsu’s shoulder, spitting out human words, “Go.”

After getting along for so long, Li Lingsu had already adapted to Xu Qian’s high-man style that did not like to explain, and without asking more questions, he left Yongzhou City under the guidance of Sparrow An.

Two quarters of an hour later, he arrived at the Gongsun Villa eighteen miles away.

Gongsun Villa is built among the green hills and mountains, and in the spring, the scenery is beautiful. In winter, it has a unique flavor.

Passing through the tall pagoda at the foot of the mountain, picking up the steps and stopping outside the main gate of the mountain villa, Li Lingsu arched his hand at the concierge and said:

“Take the trouble to pass the word, and say that Xu Qian is visiting.”

The concierge immediately went to pass, half a quarter of an hour later, big belly, a middle-aged fat look Gongsun Xiangyang, leading was designated as the heir Gongsun Xiu, footsteps hurriedly ran out.

The moment they saw Li Lingsu, the father and daughter frowned, and Gongsun Xiangyang arched his hand and said, “Senior Xu?”

Seeing the local snake Gongsun family treating Xu Qian with respect, Li Ling Su believed a few points of Mu Nan Gardenia’s words.

Li Lingsu followed Xu Qian’s instructions and let out a “hmm” without saying too much.

However, when the Saint Son old scumbag saw Gongsun Xiu, he was quite a bit stunned, a nice girl.

Of course, this was limited to appreciating the beauty, the Saint Son really didn’t have the energy to embark on his next love affair right now, and to comprehend Tai Shang Oblivion.

Led by Gongsun Xiangyang, he entered the mountain villa and took his seat in the inner hall with a charcoal fire burning.

“Unknown senior’s visit, please bear with me for the poor hospitality.”

Gongsun Xiangyang was polite for a while, then cut to the chase:

“The martial arts conference is being held according to senior’s wishes, this time, the Yongzhou group has gathered, not only Yongzhou, but even the neighboring continents of Qingzhou and Zhangzhou have martial artists coming over to join in the fun.”

“Very good!” Li Lingsu nodded, “Where is the location of the competition?”

“In Yongzhou City, southwest of the Great Horn Field. It was originally a barracks where the city defense forces were stationed, with a martial arts field and a spacious enough site. Now that the city defense army has changed camps, I’ve rented that land temporarily.”

It’s not enough to have a ring for this kind of massive gathering, the venue is very important.

The barracks are far from residential areas and have a spacious enough martial arts field to serve as a venue for a martial arts tournament.

Li Lingsu asked, “Do one thing for me, send someone to keep an eye on Yongzhou City, and report back to me as soon as you find any sign of Buddhist monks.”

Gongsun Xiangyang said, “Good!”

At this time, Gongsun Xiangyang heard the little sparrow on “Xu Qian’s” shoulder, spitting out human words and laughing:

“It seems that the Gongsun Family Head has been living peacefully recently, so Mister Xu will not bother me anymore, farewell.”

Sparrow said, lifted his wings and flew out of the inner hall, disappearing into the sky.

Gongsun Xiangyang froze for a long time, and looked at Li Lingsu with hindsight: “Just now …….”

Li Lingsu nodded, “The one just now, is only Senior Xu.”

Xu Qi’an did this, mainly to stabilize a hand, because thinking differently, if the Buddhist Sect, or Xu Pingfeng’s minions, came to Yongzhou, it was likely that they would also look for the local groundlings and ask them to search for a person named Xu Qian in the city.

Or, a small team with war horses.

Finding a needle in a haystack is also a way to find people.

For now, it seems that the Gongsun family is safe for the time being.

Senior Xu Qian turned into a bird? No, controlling a bird, what a treacherous and inexplicable means ……… Gongsun Xiu was inwardly incomparably shocked.

Gongsun Xiangyang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Lingsu with a smile on his face, “Then Your Excellency is ……..”

Li Lingsu nodded, “I am a close friend of Elder Xu and a junior.”

He briefly introduced himself and added, “There is another purpose for this trip, we were not able to find a good inn in Yongzhou City, I wonder if the Gongsun Family Master has any unused accommodation, preferably not in Gongsun Villa.”

After receiving Gongsun Xiangyang’s affirmation, Li Lingsu finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity and said, “How did the Gongsun Family Master befriend Senior Xu?”

This …….. Gongsun Xiangyang smiled bitterly and said, “Senior had instructed us not to divulge secrets.”

Li Lingsu reluctantly asked, “Then does Gongsun Family Master know the origin and identity of Senior Xu? I met him on my travels, and I am extraordinarily curious about senior’s identity.”

He believes that it is better to lie than to tell the truth and express his curiosity.

Gongsun Xiu picked up, “We don’t know any more than Brother Tai, and are equally curious about Senior Xu’s identity.”

After a pause, she hesitantly said, “There’s a poem, I don’t know if brother has heard of it.”

“Poetry?” Lee Ling Soo asked rhetorically.

Gongsun Xiu explained, “I had asked Elder Xu about his identity, he did not say it outright, but left a poem.”

“What poem?” Li Lingsu fiercely straightened his back and asked after him.

“Eight hundred years have passed since I attained the Way, but I have never taken a man’s head with a flying sword. The Jade Emperor has not yet arrived with the heavenly talisman, and the goods of gold and ooze through the world.”

Gong Sun Xiu slowly said.

After many days, reciting this poem again, there is still a kind of hard to hide the shock, calling people’s heart.

“Eight hundred autumns in the year of attainment, eight hundred autumns in the year of attainment ……..” Li Lingsu muttered.

For a while, he pinched his brow and secretly showed his teeth, Xu Qian, this bad old man’s identity, it’s more terrifying than I thought.

The people in the hall did not pay attention to the fact that the sparrow, after flying around outside, turned back to Gongsun Mountain Villa and stood quietly on the eaves of the house, like a silent sentry.

………..

In the inn, Xu Qi’an sipped his tea with satisfaction:

“That bird will have to stay in the Gongsun family as an eyesore to prevent the Buddhist Sect and Xu Pingfeng’s people from finding their way there. However, I would like them to come to the Gongsun Family ……….”

At that moment, Xu Qi’an’s heart shook as an illusory dragon’s roar sounded in his ears, and the pieces of the Earth Book in his arms rolled up.

He sensed that the Dragon Qi Host was nearby.
