Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 226 Twelve Spirit Platforms
Jiang Ling opened the package, and inside was a change of clothes, some daily utensils, and a stack of sheepskin rolls.

Su Ji scanned the clothes, but found nothing special, and immediately set his eyes on the stack of parchment scrolls. Each parchment scroll was filled with densely packed words, which seemed to be letters conveying information.

Jiang Ling picked up the top sheepskin roll, glanced at it, and threw it aside.

Su Ji took it over to have a look, and said to Niu Zhu who came over, "This is the list of betrothal gifts."

Jiang Ling scanned the sheepskin scrolls, his eyes suddenly stopped on one of them, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his palms were suddenly drenched in cold sweat.

Su Ji took it over and looked at it, his eyes fixed on the sheepskin roll, as if he wanted to see through the sheepskin, the surprised expression on his face was exactly the same as that of Jiang Ling.

Niu Zhu looked bewildered, could it be that the parchment scroll was casted with a spell, turning the person who looked at it into stone?
"What did you write?" Niu Zhu asked curiously.

Su Ji pondered for a long time, and said: "This is an imperial decree, ordering Xi Bofeng to persuade Princess Shen to get married."

Niu Zhu scratched his head, wondering: "Is there anything strange about this?"

Su Ji said worriedly: "It's strange that this imperial decree doesn't mention asking for the 'Liu Xian Han Tu' at all..."

Niu Zhu was startled, and suddenly said: "Could it be that Mr. Xi is falsely preaching the imperial decree? Why did he do that?"

Jiang Ling lowered his head slowly, his expression darkened suddenly, his throat seemed to be blocked suddenly, and he couldn't even speak a word.

Seeing it, Su Ji didn't ask, but picked up the last parchment, and read: "Five qian for Tibetan bile, three qian for rabbit grass, two qian for campanula, two qian for Bailihao, two qian for Chi Xuegen Two coins, Zizhubilanhua three coins, Iron Armor Peony six coins, Seven Star Peony three coins... This seems to be a prescription."

Jiang Ling came back to his senses, and said seriously: "These herbs are unusual, someone must have some strange disease."

Su Ji glanced again, silently remembering the ingredients on the prescription.

"So you are here!"

A voice came suddenly!

The three of them were startled for a moment, looked up, and saw Yun Yi hurried over and said, "Senior Sister Jiang Ling, what are you doing here? Chai Shouzuo urged me to come to you again, so hurry up."

Jiang Ling said coldly: "Go back and tell him, let him not meddle in his own business."

Yun Yi showed a look of embarrassment and didn't know what to do for a while.

Su Ji persuaded: "Senior sister, you'd better go and explain it yourself, lest he send someone to look for it again and end up clean."

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, and said to Yun Yi: "You go back first. I'll go right away."

Yun Yi smiled in relief, and cast a grateful look at Su Ji.

Su Ji waved his hand, signaling that he should not take it to heart.

Jiang Ling returned the package to Xi Bofeng's guest room, and went straight to Chai Song's ashram together with Su Ji and Niu Zhu.

When the three of them walked to the door, they heard the sound of many people chatting in Chai Song's room, and at least a dozen people were talking inside.

Jiang Ling neither eavesdropped nor informed, and broke in directly.

Stepping into the threshold, the three of them were all taken aback, only to see Chai Song looking at a round copper plate on the table.The strange thing was that there was not even a single person in the room except him!

Jiang Ling walked directly in front of Chai Song and said aggressively, "Master Chai, please listen clearly. I'll just say it once, I won't marry!"

Chai Song was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Ling asked suspiciously.

As soon as the words fell, not only Chai Song laughed even harder alone, even the copper plate in his hand also laughed from a group of people.Immediately afterwards, the laughter of those people gradually turned into noisy discussions.

Su Ji realized that the chatter heard outside just now was Chai Song talking to Tongpan.He carefully looked at the copper plate in Chai Song's hand, and found that the round copper plate was simple in shape, with the totems of the twelve zodiac signs engraved on the edge, corresponding to the twelve earthly branches.

"Cousin?" Niu Zhu suddenly pointed to the copper plate that was making the discussion, and said in astonishment, "It seems to be the voice of cousin!"

Su Ji closed his eyes slightly, and heard a woman's familiar voice faintly mixed with the sound from the copper plate.

Chai Song looked at Jiang Ling, smiled and said, "Nephew Jiang Ling, you decide your own affairs, why bother to tell me?"

"Didn't you ask me to talk about the marriage?" Jiang Ling asked with a confused face, "Then why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Chai Song said: "I want to discuss with you about the three-year agreement."

Jiang Ling became more and more confused: "The three-year contract, you should discuss it with Niu Zhu, what should you discuss with me?"

Chai Song said: "Brother Wuji has passed away, but I have to consult with you for any important matters under Wuji's sect."

Jiang Ling was quite satisfied with the answer, turned his anger into a smile and said, "Uncle Chai, please speak directly."

Chai Song said: "I have an idea, but before I say it, I would like to ask, what is the result of your practice in the past three years?"

Jiang Ling said: "I have roughly grasped the two secret books of exercises that Master gave me before he was alive. Besides, the Huoyao Cave Master and the Jinyao Cave Master taught me many unique secrets. In the past three years, I have gained a lot."

Su Ji looked sideways at Jiang Ling, and saw a faint red aura emanating from her brows.Apparently, the Xuanqing Qi in her body has penetrated the two acupoints of Yintang between the eyebrows and Tinghui on the ear, and can see through all illusions and illusions, and can see all directions with the eyes and hear all directions.In the overflowing breath, there was a faint trace of scorching temperature, which must be the result of years of training with Huoyao Cave Master.

Chai Song nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, I never thought you could cultivate to the second level of Xuanqing in just three years. It seems that your talent is much higher than I imagined... What about you, Nephew Niu?"

Niu Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, silent.

Su Ji looked sideways at Niu Zhu, and saw that the Xuanqing Qi in his body seemed to be absent, obviously he had not even reached the first stage of Xuanqing.

Niu Zhu sighed: "I'm stupid, I haven't learned any exercises in these years..."

"Stupid cow! Why are you so stupid? Master said that you only need to learn one move to be invincible, but you can't even learn one move! What have you been doing for the past three years? Or are those two cave masters not doing well?" teach you?"

Niu Zhu lowered his head in shame, "The two cave masters have put so much effort into me, it's only because I'm really stupid..."

Jiang Ling's brows stood on end, and she wanted to hit him on the head with a fan, but remembering that the fan had been given to Guo Han, she stomped her feet angrily!

"Stupid cow! If you go to the three-year appointment like this, you will definitely lose Master's face!" Jiang Ling turned to Su Ji and said, "Third brother, why don't you go for him!"

Su Ji said: "Master has something to say first, I can't help you with this."

Chai Song suddenly answered, "You can help with this..."

Su Ji was quite surprised, "Uncle, agree to let me go to the appointment instead of Second Senior Brother?"

Chai Song said: "It's not just you, I want the three of you to go to the appointment together!"

"Go to the appointment together?" Jiang Ling said disdainfully: "Uncle Chai, do you think Yin Jiuyou alone can beat the three of us?"

Chai Song shook his head slightly, "It's not just Yin Jiuyou alone, your opponents have eleven people in total."

"Eleven people?" Jiang Ling said in astonishment: "You let the three of us deal with eleven people?"

Chai Song explained: "In the past three years, I have recruited eleven apprentices, and I want them to become the new elders of the Twelve Spirit Platforms. Yin Jiuyou is also one of them. I want the three of you to try to enter the Twelve Spirit Platform Formation. If you can break through the first eleven rounds, you will win the three-year agreement."

Su Ji looked at the copper plate, presumably Chai Song was talking to the disciples of the Twelve Spirit Platforms just now, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "What kind of formation is it to teach the Twelve Spirit Platforms formation?"

Chai Song said: "Explaining and teaching the twelve spiritual platforms, gathering the spiritual energy of the Kunlun Mountains, and evolving formations based on this, are virtual and real, unpredictable, and the guarding methods and cracking methods of each formation are different. In fact, I I have other plans for letting you try out the formation. Firstly, the process of entering the formation will be of great help to you in comprehending the teaching method; secondly, I want to test whether the eleven disciples who entered the room are qualified to become the new elders; Thirdly, the competition between you and your fellow sects can also help find the flaws in the formation. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone!"

Jiang Ling said: "The Twelve Spirit Terrace Formation you are talking about must be the halo restraint used by the twelve elders to subdue Li Hongxi three years ago, right? Do you think that even the supreme God of War who beat the White Wolf King to a serious injury would not be able to break through?" Formation, can we break through with the three of us?"

Chai Song said: "The current Twelve Spiritual Terrace Formation is not ready yet. The disciples guarding the spiritual platform are far inferior to the former elders, and cannot exert their full power."

Jiang Ling pondered for a moment, then asked Su Ji through Baihe's voice transmission: "What do you think? If Stupid Niu is really allowed to compete directly with his cousin, there will be no suspense about the outcome."

Su Ji sighed: "This is exactly what Master intended. At the beginning, Master chose the second senior brother to go to the three-year appointment, and the purpose was to let Chai Song take over as Chan leader. Now Chai Song is deliberately letting go, obviously to give us a chance."

"I understand." Jiang Ling suddenly said: "There should be a fourth reason why Chai Song asked us to go to the Twelve Spiritual Platforms of Chanjiao, which is to save some face for Master. After all, the other party is eleven people, even if we It won't be too embarrassing if you lose."

"We may not lose..." At this moment, Niu Zhu, who had been silent all this time, slowly clenched his fists.

"That's right." Su Ji couldn't help arousing his fighting spirit, "We want to win! Chai Song has already said so much, if we don't dare to fight, we really can't justify it!"

Jiang Ling stared straight at Chai Song and said, "We decided to fight!"
