The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 92 The suspicion of a traitor and the condensation of the method ([-]st update, please subscribe)
"Senior brother!"

The monk was breathing heavily, his eyes widening.

The veins on his forehead were exposed, and his hands were fisted, smashing the floor.

Li Xuan said: "Master, calm down, there is no junior brother of yours here."

He could see that the monk seemed to have suffered severe physical and mental injuries. Even if he was awakened by Shiyu, his whole body was still in a tense state.

The monk's expression gradually calmed down, revealing a trace of confusion: "Why is the young monk here?"

His voice was a little childish, and he was obviously not very old, but his face was extremely mature, and he looked like he was in his 30s.

It gives the impression that a 20-year-old programmer looks like this.

"You have to ask yourself. My friends and I were drinking here, and you suddenly ran in and fell unconscious. There were several men in black chasing you, but my friend scared you away." Li Xuan said. road.

Listen to Li Xuan's story.

The monk gradually regained his senses, and his memory seemed to slowly recover, and he murmured: "The men in black, yes, they are the men in black, they captured my junior brother!"

Shiyu said in a gentle voice: "From the master's accent, it seems that he is not from Taihu Province?"

The monk shook his head: "Little monk Du'e comes from the King Kong Sect of Xining Prefecture in Xiuzhou."

"It turns out he is an eminent monk from the Vajra Sect. I am honored to meet you." Li Xuan clasped his fists.

In the cold palace, when he was chatting with Empress Xiao about various forces in the world, Empress Xiao seemed to have mentioned the Diamond Sect.

Although this sect is not among the twelve sects in the world, it is still considered a first-rate force.

Most of the disciples in the sect major in the "Dharma Diamond Sutra". This martial arts is a hard skill that respects the sanctification of the physical body.

It is said that after cultivating to a perfect state, even a warrior in the Xiantian state can withstand a blow from the Grandmaster state without dying.

Warriors of the same realm would find it even more difficult to break through its defense.

To be able to beat such a refining old turtle to the point of being seriously injured and on the verge of death, these men in black are so powerful.

Monk Du'e looked at Li Xuan and Shi Yu: "Thank you two benefactors for your life-saving grace. When the young monk rescues his junior brother, he will definitely come back to repay the favor."

He stood up with his hands on the floor, but his steps were sloppy and his body was swaying.

Li Xuan said: "Master, you are seriously injured, so you'd better not move around, otherwise your junior brother will not only be unable to save you, but he will be easily caught in it."

"Why don't you tell us what happened? Why are those men in black chasing you?"

Although Xiuzhou, where Monk Du'e is located, is adjacent to Jinzhou and is located in the southeast of Daqian, Xining Prefecture is thousands of miles away from Guangning Prefecture.

Could it be that these two monks came all the way here to suppress bandits? !

But why do you provoke these mysterious men in black? !

Du'e sighed: "Hey, a few months ago, the young monk and his junior brother went out to travel and gained more knowledge. I heard that a group of heroes gathered in Guangning Mansion to discuss the plan to suppress bandits, so I thought of coming to help. Unexpectedly, I just arrived in Guangning Not long after I arrived at the house, my junior brother went out to beg for alms and then disappeared without a trace."

"Fortunately, the young monk put a mother-in-law tracking charm on his junior brother and followed him all the way to a remote mountain villa. There were actually many people imprisoned in this villa. Unfortunately, the young monk's concealment skills were weak and he was discovered. We were forced to have no choice but to retreat.”

"I originally wanted to come to Guangning City to report to the government and ask for help, but on the way I encountered two men in black who attacked me. One of the men in black was a Dharma cultivator and injured the young monk's soul, causing the young monk to use his full strength. After a few minutes, the young monk could only try his best to escape, and accidentally escaped here."

Duer briefly explained the whole story.

Li Xuan listened carefully and didn't hear any big flaws.

This monk must not have lied.

The so-called mother and son tracking talisman, a pair of mother and son.

Holding the mother talisman, as long as you pour inner energy or mana into it, you can sense the approximate location of the child talisman.

However, the length of the distance depends on the grade of the Zimu tracking talisman.

"Where is the villa?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Du'e said: "Just a few dozen miles to the west of Guangning City, the villa is very desolate. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time. They used it to imprison the captives."

Li Xuan and Shi Yu looked at each other after hearing this.

In this direction, it is not far from Heifeng Village.

Could it be that someone from Heifeng Village did it? !

But why do they want to rob these people?

Shiyu looked at Du'e and said, "Master, I would like to ask, is your junior brother's horoscope pure Yang?"

Du'e was startled, and couldn't help but look at Shiyu and said: "How did the donor know that the junior monk's junior brother was born on the day of Jiachen, Gengzi month, Renyin day, Bingyin year, with a pure Yang destiny!"

The so-called pure Yang destiny pattern means that the heavenly stem is pure Yang and belongs to one of A, B, E, Geng and Ren.

The earthly branch is also pure Yang and belongs to one of Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu.

By combining the pure Yang heavenly stems with the pure Yang earthly branches, the pure Yang eight-character horoscope is formed.

According to Feng Shui numerology, people with pure Yang characters will have a more extreme personality. They are less likely to get sick on weekdays, but they are more likely to die unexpectedly.

When Li Xuan heard Shi Yu ask this question, he already had some vague guesses in his mind.

Shiyu explained in a low voice: "I heard that recently, people have disappeared in Taihu Province and even in several neighboring provinces. These missing people all have pure Yang fates."

"Why are they arresting people with a pure Yang destiny?!" Du'e was puzzled.

Shiyu shook her head and pretended not to know: "I don't know about this."

She naturally knew that these missing people were most likely captured and sacrificed for blood by the Blood Lotus Sect.

The blood sacrifice of the Blood Lotus Sect requires the blood of some people with pure Yang destiny as a guide, and combined with the large formation arranged in advance, it can attract the destiny map and trap it!
However, it was naturally impossible for Shiyu to tell Du E this information.

After all, her current external identity is just the oiran of Chunfeng Tower.

Du'e didn't ask any further questions. He coughed and straightened his weak body and said: "No matter what, the junior monk was brought out by the junior monk. The junior monk must protect the junior monk. Otherwise, the junior monk will have no choice but to commit suicide if he returns to the Vajra Sect without shame." Apologize!"

Li Xuan didn't expect Monk Du'e to be so extreme, so he said: "Master, wait for my colleagues to come over for now, maybe we can go together and check out the abandoned villa."

The disappearance of Junior Brother Du'e is most likely related to the Blood Lotus Sect.

The Blood Lotus Sect has colluded with Black Wind Village, so their Dongchang will definitely get involved.

"Colleague?" Du'e was slightly startled, "May I ask who the benefactor is?"

Li Xuan said: "We came from the East Factory of the capital, and we came here specifically to suppress bandits. Your junior brother's matter may be related to Heifeng Village. My colleagues will come later. You have to tell everything you know." Be clear and don’t leave anything out.”

"It turns out that the benefactor is a guard of the East Factory. The young monk is disrespectful." Du'e clasped his hands together and saluted.

The reputation of Daqian Chao Dongchang is as thunderous as that of the King Kong Sect.

after all.

Wei Jingzhong, the director of Dongchang Factory, is known as the No. 1 among the Martial Saints of Daqian.

The eunuchs who can enter the East Factory are all the best among the best.

Du'e couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

With people from Dongchang stepping in to help, his hope of successfully rescuing his junior brother became even greater.

"So, Master, don't be too anxious. Recover your strength first. Otherwise, even if you know where your junior brother has been taken, I'm afraid you won't be able to help him like this." Li Xuan said.

Du'e was not a single-minded person, so he immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, what the donor said makes sense. The young monk will meditate and recover right now."

After knowing Li Xuan's identity.

He was no longer in a hurry to find his junior brother.

He naturally knew that in his current state, even if he found his junior brother, he would be unable to save him.

Sit down with your knees crossed.

In an instant.

Waves of internal energy surged up.

Du'e's whole body shone with a faint golden light, as if he had turned into a golden man, and his somewhat weak aura suddenly rose rapidly.

'This "Dharma Diamond Sutra" is indeed known as the turtle shell. It seems to be very good whether it is for defense or healing. Li Xuan's eyes flashed.

but.

It is said that if you practice the "Dharma Diamond Sutra", you will continue to lose your hair and eventually become completely bald.

On the contrary, he has an inexplicable fit with this monk from the Vajra Sect.

"I'm leaving first, remember to come over tomorrow."

Shiyu glanced at Li Xuan and used his magic power to directly transmit the message.

Li Xuan was not yet capable of this ability of transmitting sounds into secrets, so he just nodded.

'It seems that this Shiyu has at least condensed the magic. Otherwise, the magic power cannot be so condensed that it can use sound transmission to enter the secret. Li Xuan thought to himself.

Once the realm of spiritual soul reaches the realm of expelling objects, a sea of ​​qi will be generated in the Dantian and mana will be born.

After that, it is time to condense the magic seeds in the sea of ​​​​qi!
After the method is condensed, the realm of driving things is considered complete.

Then, in the next realm of manifestation, the Dharma buds are condensed!
Ling's magic power became more and more concentrated and pure.

Li Xuan couldn't see how far Shi Yu's soul state had reached, but it was definitely stronger than him.

"This Shiyu looks to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. I didn't expect that the state of the soul is so high and he is a genius." Li Xuan sighed secretly.

However, no matter how genius you are, you will definitely not be able to compare with yourself.

He is only 16 years old now, and the state of his soul has already reached the state of expelling objects, and he is about to condense his magic.

Even the former Taoist Saint Lady Xiao, in terms of cultivation speed, pales in comparison to herself.

Li Xuan sat in the room and waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Tread, step, step!

A series of rapid footsteps sounded from outside.

next moment.

Zhao Hao came over with three factory guards, one of whom was actually a deacon and eunuch in the late Xiantian realm.

"Eh? You bald donkey actually woke up?!"

Zhao Hao couldn't help but let out a sigh when he saw Du'e sitting cross-legged on the ground, silently meditating and recovering.Du'e opened his eyes, stood up and saluted Zhao Hao and others: "I have met all the donors."

Li Xuan looked at Zhao Hao and gave a rough explanation: "Not long after you left, Master Du'e woke up on his own. I learned some information from him. Those men in black may be related to Blood Lotus." Teaching about it.”

"Oh? Monk, tell us everything you know."

Before Zhao Hao could speak, the deacon and eunuch of Dongchang standing beside Zhao Hao spoke.

He looked to be in his fifties and his name was Xu Lipeng. According to Zhao Hao, it was this Eunuch Xu who introduced him to Dongchang.

It can be said that he is Zhao Hao's half-adopted father.

Du'e proclaimed the Buddha's name and repeated what he had just told Li Xuan.

The content is not bad.

but.

This time, Duer added another piece of information:
"When the young monk was at the villa, he overheard some of the guards. It seemed that they wanted to capture more sacrifices in the name of conscription, otherwise there would not be enough people. They also mentioned government soldiers and so on..."

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but move as they listened to the monk's story.

To be able to get into the stall position in Dongchang, his ability and IQ are naturally not low.

It soon became clear that these guards were most likely colluding with the government.

Moreover, in the entire Taihu Province, the only people qualified to issue military recruitment orders and mobilize government troops were Governor Liang Guangcan and Governor He Wenshun.

Governor Liang Guangcan's suspicion is undoubtedly greater.

After all, most of the military power is now in his hands.

The governor of a province is suspected of colluding with the people of the Blood Lotus Sect. If not handled properly, big trouble will occur.

"What you said is true or false. Do you know the seriousness of this matter? If you lie, you will lose your head!" Xu Lipeng narrowed his eyes and stared at Du'e.

Du'e clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, monks do not tell lies. This young monk swears in the name of the Buddha that if the young monk lies even half a word, he will never enter the Western Paradise!"

"This kind of oath is of no use. Let's take our family to the villa first to take a look." Xu Lipeng disdainfully said.

"The young monk also had this intention." Du'e was not annoyed and nodded.

soon.

The group of people left Chunfeng Tower in a hurry. By the way, Chunfeng Tower asked for a horse for Du'e to lead the way.

Less than an hour of burning incense.

Under the leadership of Du'e, everyone rushed to the mountain villa that Du'e mentioned.

The villa is located in the wilderness, surrounded by weeds and dead trees. It has obviously been abandoned for a long time.

A group of people filed in and searched carefully.

Unfortunately, the place has long been deserted, and there is no trace of the kidnapped people anywhere.

Xu Lipeng touched a layer of dust on the ground, put it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and said:

"It smells of new blood. There are definitely people here."

Everyone searched the area again and found some shoe prints and horse hoof prints.

However, they all disappeared without a trace after a certain distance, obviously being cleaned up manually.

"Eunuch Xu, what should we do now?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but look at Xu Lipeng.

Xu Lipeng has the highest cultivation level here, and everyone naturally takes him as the leader.

After all, no one would have imagined that just a kidnapping case would involve something as big as the suspected governor of a province colluding with the Blood Lotus Sect.

Xu Lipeng frowned: "Right now, the deputy factory governor has secretly gone to the rebel camp with Deacon Qian. This matter may involve the governor of a province. It should not be made public to avoid unnecessary conflicts and changes. When the deputy factory governor When he comes back, it will be up to him to make a decision, which only takes a few days."

Du'e stood aside, looking a little confused: "The young monk's mother talisman can no longer sense the position of his junior brother. The child talisman on his body has most likely been destroyed. Where should the young monk find his junior brother?!"

"Since your junior brother may have been kidnapped by the Blood Lotus Sect, and the Blood Lotus Sect has colluded with the Black Wind Stronghold, it is very likely that your junior brother has been sent to the Black Wind Stronghold." Xu Lipeng said, "If you really want to To save your junior brother, you can wait a few days until the imperial court sends troops to break through the Black Wind Stronghold, and then you can go search inside the Black Wind Stronghold."

He already knows that this Du'e is a warrior in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. Being able to absorb the help of a warrior of this level will also be helpful for them to attack the Black Wind Stronghold.

Li Xuan comforted him: "Master Du'e, please relax. Since the Blood Lotus Sect did not kill your junior brother immediately, it means that your junior brother is most likely still alive. You can try your best to recover in the past few days. With my own strength, I won’t have the energy to find your junior brother until then.”

Du'e sighed: "Now, this is the only way."

The group of people did not stay long and returned to Guangning City.

As for Du'e, he did not follow Li Xuan and others back to the city, but went to Wanjian Villa outside the city.

It is said that Wanjian Villa is where people from all over the world gather to suppress bandits.

According to intelligence investigations, thousands of people have gathered inside and outside Wanjian Villa.

Almost all of these people in the world are headed by Wanjian Villa.

It’s not for anything else, just because there is a strong master-level man in Wanjian Villa, Xie Feng.

Because of this, although Wanjian Villa usually specializes in sword making, it has also become one of the first-class forces in the world!

Li Xuan and Zhao Hao returned to their residence and did not talk about Du E again.

after all.

The kidnapping case involved this time is suspected to be related to Governor Liang Guangcan.

They now live in Liang Guangcan's territory, so they naturally have to be careful about their words and actions.

Everything has to wait until deputy factory supervisor Shangguan Rou comes back before making a decision.

'This Blood Lotus Sect's spy, even if it wasn't Liang Guangcan, must be lurking in Guangning City, otherwise Du'e wouldn't have been hunted down as soon as he entered the city. Li Xuan thought to himself.

Now it is almost certain that Du E's junior brother was kidnapped by the Blood Lotus Sect.

Moreover, this spy may also help the Blood Lotus Sect kidnap more people with pure Yang fates for blood sacrifices.

At present, the news that he and the people from Dongchang came into contact with Du E have most likely reached the ears of the spies.

I don’t know what this spy will do next.

'Forget it, let's leave this troublesome matter to Shangguan Rou. I just need to be prepared for the next bandit suppression. '

Li Xuan didn't think any more. After washing up, he went to bed directly.

The next day.

He got up early, found an excuse to leave, and went straight to Chunfeng Tower.

After a while.

Under the leadership of the servant, he came to Shiyu's room on the third floor.

It is quiet and elegant here, with a light fragrance that is refreshing.

"Here, the golden needles you want, a total of twelve, have been refined."

Shiyu handed Li Xuan a row of gold needles inserted in the cloth bag.

"Thank you, Miss Shiyu."

Li Xuan's eyes lit up and he took the golden needle.

The magic power surged out of his body and silently attached to the golden needle.

I found that it only took a very small amount of effort to completely control the golden needle.

There is no longer the awkward and heavy feeling of controlling those ordinary items.

It's as if the whole person has been integrated into the golden needle, becoming one with the golden needle!
'It is indeed a magic weapon. It is indeed extraordinary. With this golden needle, my combat effectiveness can be increased by at least a few percent. This time the bandit suppression will be safer! Li Xuan was very happy.

He tried to control multiple golden needles, but found that with his current state of soul, he seemed to be able to control only three golden needles.

Any more, and your mind will become unstable, and your consumption will double!

"How's it going? Is it useful?" Shiyu couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Xuan looking like he couldn't put it down.

Li Xuan put away the golden needle awkwardly and said with a smile: "Very good, beyond my expectation."

"Remember to put your magic mark on this golden needle after you go back. This way, other magic cultivators cannot easily snatch your golden needle away during the battle." Shiyu reminded.

"Yeah, I know." Li Xuan nodded.

The so-called imprinting of magic power is actually to move the magic power around the golden needle.

In this way, if others want to control their own golden needles during a battle, they must first erase this mark.

"I plan to leave for Huaqing Mansion today to take a look, hoping to gain something." Shiyu said.

Li Xuan cupped his fists and said, "Then I wish Miss Shiyu a smooth journey."

Farewell to Shiyu.

Li Xuan found another open space, quickly put his magic mark on all the golden needles, and then began to practice silently.

At least you have to be able to do what you want.

For the next few days.

Li Xuan was desperately practicing the control of the golden needle, and at the same time, he was wary of the traitor making any moves.

Unfortunately, the traitor seemed to be very alert, and three days passed without causing any trouble.

However, Li Xuan found that as he continued to practice, his magic power seemed to become more and more concentrated.

The sea of ​​​​qi is rolling, and there seems to be a faint shadow of golden seeds slowly taking shape.

This is a sign of the concentration of the Dharma.

After the method is completely condensed, Li Xuan can try to break through to the manifest state.

This actually made Li Xuan practice even harder, and he even took a Restoration Pill to restore his mind midway!
Until three nights later.

Shangguan Rou finally returned with another deacon.

However, Shangguanrou looked slightly pale at this moment, and there was a strong smell of medicine on her body. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.
