?

Jingxin and Jingyuan received the news and came with the monks to greet them.

When Du Nan Jin Gang saw his beloved disciple Jingyuan, he saw through his injuries at a glance:

"The sword will is endless in the body and is difficult to erase. Was he injured?"

After Chai Xing'er secretly sent someone to leak the news, Jingxin immediately informed Du Nan Jin Gang with a secret method. Du Nan already knew that Xu Qian'an was in Xiangzhou.

Jingyuan's face was pale, and he nodded slightly, ashamedly saying: "My disciple is incompetent and failed to keep the Buddhist son."

Du Nan Jin Gang said lightly: "Let's talk about it after entering."

The monks entered the Chai Mansion and sat in the hall. Jingxin told Du Nan Jin Gang everything that happened in Xiangzhou.

"It is said that Chai Xing'er is a spy of the "Tianji Palace". It has been reported to the superiors. The Buddhist son did not kill us because he was afraid that the spy would come and find out that the matter was exposed, and then kill us all."

Jingxin made the final summary.

"What a pity."

Dunan Vajra said regretfully: "If I had arrived earlier, I could have captured the Buddha and fulfilled the instructions of the Bodhisattva of the Kalaw Tree..."

He stood up from the chair and walked to Jingyuan. He pressed his palm on Jingyuan's right shoulder. The light golden energy flowed into his beloved disciple's body, shattering the remaining sword intent in his internal organs and meridians.

The skin all over Jingyuan's body suddenly cracked and blood flowed.

He groaned, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down.

"What a domineering sword intent."

Dunan Vajra commented, then shook his head: "No, this intent will burst out again when it is annihilated, and it is better to die than to die. The fourth-grade sword intent of the Buddha..."

Jingyuan's face gradually turned rosy, like a person who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Seeing the master's solemn expression, he asked, "What is the intention?"

The third-grade Vajra has no "intention". The eighth-grade monks are directly promoted to the third grade. The actual practice process follows the path of a warrior, but after the fifth- grade transformation, the monks can jump over the fourth grade, comprehend the great success of the Vajra Divine Art, and directly promote to the third grade.

In other words, the invincible defense of the Vajra Divine Art is actually the "intention".

"This intention is no longer described as overbearing and fierce. People of the same realm must be prepared to perish together with him when fighting with him." Du Nan Vajra said. "Why?" Jingyuan frowned.

"Because this is his intention, only to die with honor, not to live in disgrace." Du Nan Vajra said slowly.

Jingyuan and Jingxin looked at each other and realized again how terrible Xu Qian'an was. The Buddhist son was the well-deserved first among his peers.

"Uncle Du Nan, what are you going to do with Du Qing Luohan and Uncle Du Fan this time?" Jingxin asked.

Du Nan Jin Gang said in a deep voice: "I wanted to go to Qianlong City, but I received your letter on the way, so I turned back."

Qianlong City?

Jing Xin glanced at Jing Yuan and found the same doubt in his eyes, so he asked: "When can it be more important than collecting dragon energy and capturing Buddhist disciples?"

Du Nan Jin Gang remained silent.

Jing Xin did not ask any more questions, and tried to ask: "Then should we go directly to Yongzhou next, or wait here for a few more days?"

Du Nan pondered for a moment: "Let's go tomorrow morning."

At night, Du Nan Jin Gang was meditating and breathing in a room in the outer courtyard of Chai Mansion. Suddenly, the door "popped" twice, and someone knocked on the door outside. Du Nan Jin Gang said slowly: "Come in."

The door opened, and a man in a cloak walked in. It looked like a man.

"Meet Du Nan Jin Gang."

The cloaked man had a low voice and was magnetic.

"Are you a spy from Tianji Palace?" Du Nan Jin Gang maintained his meditation posture, and did not even open his eyes.

"That's right."

The cloaked man answered.

"Does the Tianji Palace belong to that second-grade sorcerer?" Du Nan Jin Gang asked.

"Yes."

The cloaked man did not hide anything and said respectfully: "When the Palace Master issued the task of searching for the host of the dragon energy, he said that the Buddhist sect was a friend that could cooperate, so I came. The Palace Master is very good at predicting things and has never missed a thing."

Seeing that Du Nan Jin Gang was meditating and silent, he continued:

"Forget it, since the dragon energy was taken away by the Buddhist sect, the Tianji Palace has nothing to say. However, I have already investigated the Chai Mansion and did not see Chai Xing'er. She is from my Tianji Palace. I hope that the Buddhist sect will show mercy and return her to the Tianji Palace."

Du Nan Jin Gang 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 smiled: "It seems that some accidents have happened in Xiangzhou. Please let Jin Gang know."

In the room, the candlelight was as small as a bean, and the orange halo could not illuminate

more than five meters away.

"That man is coming."

The words of Du Nan Jin Gang made the breathing under the cloak become heavy.

Then, Du Nan Jin Gang told the cloaked man the whole story he heard from Jing Xin.

The cloaked man listened attentively, without missing a word, thought for a long time, and

said:

"The palace master once said that the man would sooner or later go to the rivers and lakes to collect dragon energy. He failed to retrieve the dragon vein in the capital. The rivers and lakes are a new opportunity. The palace master smashed the dragon vein, in addition to destroying the foundation of Dafeng, another purpose is for this.

"Once he fails to retrieve the dragon energy in that person's body, then change the battlefield and hunt him in the rivers and lakes. The palace master is as good as a god, step by step, and has already controlled everything in his hands.

"Master, why don't we cooperate."

Du Nan Jin Gang looked at him: "How can you, a spy, know so much?"

The cloaked man smiled and did not answer.

Du Nan Jin Gang said: "How do you want to cooperate? He has a way to hide his breath and is very good at disguising himself. It's hard to find him, let alone catch him."

The cloaked man was silent for a few seconds and then laughed:

"Sometimes, you don't have to chase the prey to catch it. A good hunter knows how to set

traps.

"There are two effective ways to deal with him: First, use the dragon qi host to lure him out. This trick can only be used once. With his wisdom, it will be difficult for him to do it the

second time.

"Second, in the areas where he may appear, rape, rob, and do all kinds of bad things. As long as he knows, he will definitely come. This trick can be used many times. "Dragon qi host from Tianji Palace? "Du Nan Vajra directly abandoned the second one.

Buddhist Vajra does not shy away from killing, but only kills those who should be killed, such as enemies, evil people, people who are disgusted, etc. Killing innocent people indiscriminately will haunt one's inner demons.

The cloaked man nodded and said:

"According to reliable information I have received, the martial arts conference in Yongzhou is

about to open, and many heroes will gather. He will definitely attend and search for the dragon energy host hidden in the crowd.

"We only need to control a few dragon energy hosts, arrange their activities in Yongzhou City, and closely monitor the movements around the hosts. Once that person shows up, we will immediately close the net and catch him in the jar."

The Dharma Protector nodded slowly: "He has broken free from some of the seals. In the conflict last night, the Soul-Capturing Mirror could not shake his soul. If my guess is correct, the magic nails at the Baihui acupoint have been unlocked."

The cloaked man pondered and said, "In this way, the premonition of crisis by the third-

grade warrior will make the ambush more difficult. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. To ensure that there is no mistake, I will immediately send a letter to the Palace

Master and ask for his opinion."

.......

On this day, the five-member team arrived in Yongzhou City after a day and night of

expedited travel.

Xu Qian'an abandoned his handsome appearance in his previous life and changed to an ordinary appearance. Li Lingsu did the same.

As for Hengyin and Mu Nanzhi, the former was wrapped in a cloak and the latter wore a veil.

Even the mare was disguised to some extent. Xu Qi'an dyed its hooves white and dyed its hair

black.

Thus, the mare changed from a yellow dragon to a snow-walking black horse.

Xu Qi'an also realized that the mare was still too conspicuous and was the only flaw in the

team.

After all, people can change their appearance, but horses are difficult to change their appearance, although in the eyes of most people, horses look the same.

After entering Yongzhou City, Xu Qi'an went to one of the best inns in Yongzhou City: Buzuiju.

But he was told that it was full and there were no extra rooms.

He found several more inns, but still no guest rooms.

Li Lingsu said, "Yongzhou is holding a martial arts conference. The inns in the city, good and

bad, are all full. It's strange. You said that Yongzhou doesn't even have a place for a fourth- rank official. What kind of martial arts conference is held?"

There are fourth-rank officials in Yongzhou, but they all hold official positions and are people in the court. There are no fourth-grade masters in the martial arts world.

Lei Zheng of Longshenbao and Gongsun Xiangyang of Gongsun family are both fifth-grade Huajin, just one step away from the fourth-grade, but they can never cross this threshold. Mu Nanzhi sat on the horse's back, her waist swaying slightly with the bumps. Hearing this,

she snorted softly: "Someone has a brain twitch."

Li Lingsu smiled and said, "What does Madam Xu mean by this?"

Perhaps the three words "Madam Xu" are really pleasant to the ear. Mu Nanzhi glanced at Xu Qian and said, "It was this guy who proposed it."

? A question mark flashed through Li Lingsu's mind. Was the martial arts conference in

Yongzhou organized by Xu Qian? Why didn't he say it before? No, what was his intention in organizing this martial arts conference?

The Holy Son glanced at Xu Qian and saw that he had no intention of explaining, so he tactfully suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask more questions.

Fortunately, Yongzhou City is large and there are many inns. After searching for a long time,

he finally found an inn that was decent and had vacancies.

After checking in with Li Lingsu and Mu Nanzhi, Xu Qian'an sat at the desk as usual, thinking

about the next plan.

"The martial arts conference in Yongzhou is a way for me to quickly collect dragon energy, but it is also the same for Buddhism, Wushen Sect, and Xu Pingfeng.

"They will definitely come here after hearing the news. This has been confirmed by Jingxin

and others. The next stop for Buddhism is here.

"Reverse reasoning, the Buddhist sect and Xu Pingfeng must have thought that I would not

give up this opportunity. If I were them, what would I do?

"Hehe, I must seize this opportunity to collect dragon energy and deal with me... But I have

the ability of the Heavenly Gu "Moving Stars and Changing Constellations", which can conceal my breath, and the Qi-Looking Technique is useless to me.

"How will they find me?"

Xu Qian'an pinched his eyebrows and suddenly had an idea: "The Gongsun Family and Longshen Fort are local snakes, let them be my spies and get information."

Thinking of this, he got up and left the room, knocking on Li Lingsu's door.

"Senior?"

Li Lingsu opened the door, stepped aside to invite him in, and then walked to the table,

pouring water while saying:

"I am trying to break the seal. Sister Rong is at the peak of the fourth rank. I just entered the

fourth rank, and my strength is far from hers. For a while, I can't break the seal. It would be great if there was a Taoist master to help me.

"When are we going to the capital? My junior sister is now a fourth-rank, she can remove the

seal for me."

Your junior sister can't protect herself, so let your master remove the seal for you... Xu Qian'an

didn't drink tea, and said straightforwardly:

"Come with me for a trip."

"Where to?" Li Lingsu asked subconsciously. "You'll know when you get there."

Li Lingsu said "Oh" and turned to walk out of the house, but saw that Xu Qian didn't follow

him, and asked in confusion: "Senior?"

At this time, a sparrow flew in from the open window, flapped its wings and landed on Li

Lingsu's shoulder, speaking in human language: "Let's go."

After spending so much time together, Li Lingsu has already adapted to Xu Qian's high-

minded style of not liking to explain. Without asking more questions, he left Yongzhou City under the guidance of Ma Que An.

Two quarters of an hour later, they arrived at Gongsun Villa, eighteen miles away. Gongsun Villa is built among green mountains and greenery. In spring, the scenery is

beautiful. In severe winter, it also has a unique flavor.

Walking through the tall archway at the foot of the mountain, climbing the steps, and

stopping outside the gate of the villa, Li Lingsu bowed to the gatekeeper and said:

"Please tell them that Xu Qian is visiting."

The gatekeeper immediately went to tell them. Half a quarter of an hour later, Gongsun Xiangyang, who was potbellied and looked like a middle-aged fat man, led Gongsun Xiu, who was designated as the heir, and ran out in a hurry.

The moment they saw Li Lingsu, the father and daughter frowned. Gongsun Xiangyang bowed

and said, "Senior Xu?"

Seeing that the local boss Gongsun family was very respectful to Xu Qian, Li Lingsu believed

Mu Nanzhi's words a little more.

Li Lingsu followed Xu Qian's instructions and said "hmm" without saying too much.

However, the old scumbag Shengzi was quite surprised to see Gongsun Xiu. She was a good

girl. Of course, this was limited to appreciating beauty. Shengzi really didn't have the energy to start the next relationship and comprehend the Supreme Forgetfulness.

Under the leadership of Gongsun Xiangyang, he entered the villa and sat down in the inner

hall where charcoal was burning.

"I don't know that you are visiting. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Gongsun Xiangyang was polite for a while, and then got to the point:

"The martial arts conference is being held according to the wishes of the seniors. This time,

the heroes of Yongzhou gathered. Not only Yongzhou, but also the neighboring continents such as Qingzhou and Zhangzhou, there are martial artists coming to join in the fun." "Very good!" Li Lingsu nodded: "Where is the venue for the competition?" "In the big corner field in the southwest of Yongzhou City. It was originally the barracks

where the city defense army was stationed, with a martial arts field and a spacious enough venue. Now that the city defense army has changed its camp, I will rent that place temporarily."

For such a large-scale gathering, it is not enough to have a ring, the venue is very important.

The barracks are far away from the residential area, and there is a spacious enough martial

arts field to serve as the venue for the martial arts conference.

Li Lingsu asked: "Do one thing for me, send someone to keep an eye on Yongzhou City, and

report to me immediately if any trace of Buddhist monks is found."

Gongsun Xiangyang said: "Okay!"

At this time, Gongsun Xiangyang heard the little sparrow on the shoulder of "Xu Qian" speak

human language, and smiled:

"It seems that the head of the Gongsun family has been living a peaceful life recently, Xu will

not disturb you, goodbye."

After the sparrow finished speaking, it flapped its wings and flew out of the inner hall,

disappearing into the horizon.

Gongsun Xiangyang was stunned for a long time, then looked at Li Lingsu belatedly: "Just now..."

Li Lingsu nodded: "The one just now was Senior Xu."

Xu Qian'an did this mainly to keep his hand safe, because if you put yourself in their shoes, the Buddhist sect, or Xu Pingfeng's minions, when they come to Yongzhou, they will probably

find the local snakes and ask them to search for a person named Xu Qian in the city.

Or, a small team with war horses. Looking for a needle in a haystack is also a way to find someone.

It seems that the Gongsun family is temporarily safe now.

Senior Xu Qian turned into a bird? No, controlling a bird, what a treacherous and

unpredictable method... Gongsun Xiu was extremely shocked.

Gongsun Xiangyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Li Lingsu with a smile: "Then you are..."

Li Lingsu nodded: "I am a close friend of Senior Xu, and also a junior. "

He briefly introduced himself and said, "There is another purpose for this trip. We couldn't

find a good inn in Yongzhou City. I wonder if the head of the Gongsun family has any vacant

accommodation, preferably not in Gongsun Villa."

After getting Gongsun Xiangyang's affirmation, Li Lingsu finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and said, "How did the head of the Gongsun family get to know Senior Xu?" This....Gongsun Xiangyang smiled bitterly and said, "Senior once told us not to leak secrets." Li Lingsu asked unwillingly, "Does the head of the Gongsun family know Senior Xu's origin

and identity? I met him while traveling and was particularly curious about his identity." He believed that it was better to tell the truth than to lie and express his curiosity. Gongsun Xiu continued, "We know no more than you, and we are also curious about Senior Xu's identity."

After a pause, she hesitated and said, "There is a poem. I wonder if you have heard of it." "Poem? "Li Lingsu asked back.

Gongsun Xiu explained: "I once asked Senior Xu about his identity, but he didn't tell me directly, but left a poem."

"What poem?" Li Lingsu straightened up and asked.

"I have been a Taoist for eight hundred years, and I have never used a flying sword to take

people's heads. The Jade Emperor has not sent a heavenly talisman, and I am selling black

gold to make a living."

Gongsun Xiu said slowly.

After many days, reciting this poem again, there is still an unconcealable shock, which makes people's heart surge.

"Eight hundred years have passed since I got it, eight hundred years have passed since I got

it..." Li Lingsu murmured.

For a long time, he pinched his eyebrows and grinned secretly. The identity of this old man Xu

Qian is more terrible than I thought.

No one in the hall noticed that the sparrow flew outside and returned to Gongsun Villa,

standing quietly on the eaves like a silent sentinel.

........

In the inn, Xu Qian drank a sip of tea with satisfaction:

"The bird must stay in Gongsun's house as an eyeliner to prevent people from Buddhism and

Xu Pingfeng from looking for it. However, I hope they come to Gongsun's house..."

At this time, Xu Qian's heart was shocked, and the illusory dragon roar came to his ears, and

the fragments of the earth book in his arms became hot. He sensed that the host of the dragon energy was nearby.
