You always wonder what you're doing as my Taoist partner

Bai Sheng had never heard of this formation.

"The array I created myself can be used to find the source of the breath within a radius of ten miles based on the breath left on these items."

Bai Sheng has only heard of formations used for offense, defense, or weaving illusions, but this is the first time he has heard of such formations. Jiang Li explained to her in her ear, "On the one hand It relies on breath, on the one hand it is cause and effect.”

"cause and effect?"

"Knowing how those children were lost, when they were lost, and who was taken away... the person who drew the formation will have the opportunity to deduce everything through the formation. Everything that happens in this world can be traced. As long as If it happens, then there is a chance of being spied on, and the reason for the deduction of the secrets of the Tianjimen is also the same principle."

This is the first time Bai Sheng heard this kind of thinking, perhaps because it is more troublesome to explain, Jiang Li calmly said to Bai Sheng, "I am a top-notch formation mage, and I am only one step away from the holy step."

Bai Sheng couldn't remember clearly, how many times she heard these shocking things from Jiang Li.

You must know that the top-ranking formation mages are generally qualified to touch the realm after their cultivation has reached the fusion stage, because drawing formations mainly consumes the soul, and if the state does not reach the fusion, the soul cannot support the formation. , a top-notch formation mage is enough to be invited by a sect as a guest minister and become an elder-like figure.

The two didn't have time to continue chatting, Jiang Li soon saw the formation light up, Jiang Li's eyes were fixed on the formation in front of him, his head was actually humming at the moment.

Formation is actually a kind of borrowing power, borrowing the power of heaven and earth, borrowing power and sword power are the same reason, it will especially consume the soul, his head is a little bit painful at the moment, but when he sees the almost transparent silk thread, When he emerged from the formation, he laughed.

"Come with me!"

Jiang Li hastily grabbed Bai Sheng's hand, and before he could explain anything to the mayor, he hurriedly grabbed Bai Sheng's wrist and ran towards the place where the silk thread was swimming.

It was a silk thread that only he could see, which meant... those children were still alive.

All alive!

..........................................

Jiang Li ran with Bai Sheng for a long time, until the silk thread disappeared from Jiang Li's sight.

The two of them had already reached a barren mountain, Jiang Li only had a moment to catch his breath, "Those children are still alive, they are on that mountain now...you wait for me at this moment, I will go up by myself, there is no time to inform Zong The door is open."

Bai Sheng grabbed his arm, bit his lips lightly, and said stubbornly, "Together."

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, looking into Bai Sheng's stubborn eyes, he nodded, the two rose up with their swords, and climbed up the barren mountain, Jiang Li walked towards the end of the thread, soon, he saw Arrived at the existence of a formation.

This is a formation used to obscure the eyes, and Jiang Li easily broke it with only a little spiritual energy. The dense forest in front of him quickly changed its appearance. After twisting for a while, Jiang Li saw the altar in front of him.

This is a temporary altar. There are trees beside the altar. Many children are tied to the trees. The vines were entangled, and the thorns of the vines cut their wrists. The color of those vines was bright red, and the end of each vine was the center of the altar.

Jiang Li and Bai Sheng were standing there, and there were five people standing in front of them.

The four middle-aged monks in black robes, and the young man in the middle who looked about the same age as Jiang Li, who was dressed in white clothes, were sizing them up at the moment.

Bai Sheng subconsciously sensed the cultivation of these five people, but when her detection aura was detected, it was as if nothing had disappeared, and Jiang Li's voice became a little dignified, "The middle-aged man is Yuan Yuan in the late stage of the Four Tribulations." Dzogchen in the post-infant period."

In the later stage of Xiaojie, it refers to those cultivators who are in the seventh to tenth stages of Xiaojie, obviously the guardian of the white-clothed boy in the middle, and the middle-aged white-clothed boy, his eyes met Jiang Li for a moment, But he didn't panic at all, instead he smiled and said, "Which cultivator are you?"

Jiang Li took a step forward and protected Bai Sheng behind him, "Xuantian Dao Jizong, inner disciple."

"It's a coincidence that you guys came here... It's only a day before the young master's Blood Vine Soul Cultivation Formation is completed. One of you is in the early stage of foundation establishment, and the other is in the late stage of foundation establishment. If you want to come, you will take on the task of finding these missing children?"

"Yes."

"How many sect contribution points can you get for this task?" The white-clothed boy in front of him asked with a smile.

A little confusion appeared in Bai Sheng's eyes. Originally, she was already extremely nervous. According to the cultivation of the other five, if they wanted to kill the two of them, it might not even take a stick of incense.

"If we searched for your traces, found this place, and informed the Zongmen in time, it will be around 25 o'clock, which will be equivalent to [-] spirit stones." Jiang Li replied calmly.

"It seems that this brother is also very good."

The voice of the young man in white in front of him was a little soft, "I don't need you two to do anything, my young master's formation can be completed in a day, please stay here for a day, this young master will not do anything to you After one day, you can go back to Xuantian Dao Jizong and report to your sect that you have found traces of evil cultivators, but when you arrive, we have already left."

"Of course, I will give each of you [-] spirit stones as compensation for the failure of your mission. This deal is a good deal, right?"

Listening to the words of the white-clothed boy in front of her, Bai Sheng froze in place, unable to return to her senses.

Jiang Li's voice was cold, and he explained to Bai Sheng, "The Blood Soul Sect has been acting with its tail between its legs all these years, if we kill the two of us, it may attract the hatred of the Xuantian Dao Extreme Sect and bring them trouble, It is far more than giving thirty spirit stones."

He was silent for a moment, "This is a rigid rule, not only Xuantian Dao Jizong, monks of many sects do this... Even if it is not particularly serious, resulting in the death of many people, the sect will find out I will open one eye and close one eye."

Bai Sheng's pupils trembled violently, and her head was a little dazed at the moment.

Chapter 45 Chapter 45 OK

Since ancient times, there has been no balance between good and evil. In Bai Sheng's memory, an upright cultivator and an evil cultivator should have an inextricable relationship when they meet each other. But Jiang Li's words made her breathless right now. .

"This brother is so knowledgeable about current affairs, it has saved me a lot of trouble. It just so happens that I am bored here alone, so sit down with this fairy, and we will have a good chat. After a day, the two of you can leave. You can also get thirty spirit stones, why not do it?"

The boy in white in front of him said with a smile.

But Jiang Li didn't smile, he looked at the white-clothed boy in front of him, "What's your name?"

"Qin Shu, the direct disciple of the Second Elder of the Blood Soul Sect, Qin Shu."

"No." Jiang Li shook his head, and after a while, he said coldly, "How can a beast have a name?"

Qin Shu's expression in front of him froze slightly, but in the next second, he quickly laughed again, "Brother, why did I become a beast?"

"Cannibalism, what is it if it's not a beast? No, beasts don't do this kind of thing. You are not even a beast. You should be a stinky maggot writhing in the cesspit, with a smell all over your body. A rotten, sickening smell."

Even though Jiang Li was saying this, Qin Shu on the opposite side still had a smirk on his face. He raised his hand to signal the four guardians behind him not to act rashly, but said calmly, "Brother Does Taiwan think I'm doing something wrong?"

Qin Shu in front of him couldn't help laughing, "It's just that these children were arrested to help me practice, and they were neither relatives nor children of Xiongtai. Why should I be so righteously indignant?"

Qin Shu in front of him smiled mockingly. Seeing that Jiang Li didn't speak, he became more and more joyful, "What you can't do in practice is longevity. How many people do anything to achieve longevity? People like you and I have mastered With a power completely different from these ants, do you still regard them as human beings?"

"Aren't they?" Jiang Li asked word by word.

"There are many, many people like them. It doesn't matter how many people die. Anyway, they will continue to reproduce, just like the livestock on the table. They are inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

"You decent monks, the most you talk about all day long is to do justice for the heavens. You are all dignified on weekdays, but how is the actual way of doing things different from ours?"

"All of you will slaughter spirit beasts for the sake of cultivation. No matter if they are ferocious beasts or spirit beasts, as long as the dissected inner alchemy is useful, you will also use all means. Even so, do you still want to accuse me of sanctimoniousness?"

"That's an animal, not a person."

"Ridiculous!" Qin Shu sneered, "You decent monks, do you really treat these ordinary people as human beings? If they were human beings? Would you still be so negligent and come here at this very moment? I don’t care about these children’s lives, they die when they die, it’s never painful or itchy for you, you’re just here to make a formality, to avoid this kind of thing from happening again in this place, these are things that stick to the rules, dare you say you don’t do you know?"

"If you treat them as human beings, the severe drought, famine, and plague at the foot of the mountain can save tens of thousands of people with only a small price from you, but I have never seen you famous families take action. ?”

"Cultivation is inherently unscrupulous, and you decent sects, when did you have the strength to really attack us? The so-called evil extermination conference seven years ago was just because you saw my blood sect master break through the Mahayana, and you panicked." That's all."

"Do you know how many of you so-called decent sects have chosen to fight us to the end when we met our Blood Soul Sect over the years? And how many of you have chosen to do business with our Blood Soul Sect? !"

Qin Shu's voice was especially unscrupulous. He stared at Jiang Li in front of him like a cat watching a mouse, with a playful smile waiting for his answer.

Jiang Li was in a daze at the moment.

He remembered such a thing.

It was a story he heard from a senior sister. The story was a sect assessment task that the senior sister had participated in. There were six people in that group, and they were also exploring the traces of evil cultivators. They had obtained clues at the beginning, and they knew He knew that the formation of those evil cultivators was about to be completed, and it would be too late to save those ordinary people if they waited for the support of the sect. There was a sword cultivator who wanted everyone to rescue them, but no one agreed in the end. Going alone, the remaining five people failed to stop him.

Those five people returned to the sect and reported the clues. When the sect arrived at the gathering place of the evil cultivator, there were only dead bones left on the ground. Several blood holes, out of shape.

When Jiang Li heard this story, the senior sister said hesitantly, the five of them felt that the sword cultivator was a bit stupid, if he followed the five of them back to the sect obediently, how could it have ended like this?

But that sword cultivator was the strongest among the six of them, so the five of them couldn't stop him from dying.

In the end, people die like fallen leaves, and there is nothing left except for a sigh.

....................................

Jiang Li recovered from his trance, Qin Shu who was opposite him was looking at him provocatively at the moment, Jiang Li slowly raised his head, "It's them you're talking about, not me."

"If they don't care, I care."

Qin Shu's eyes were a little more violent.

Jiang Li said slowly, "The so-called upright monks in your mouth are all about gaining Taoism and peace of mind, and the methods you use for evil cultivation will lead to unstable cultivation and violent temperament, so there are not so many evil cultivators in this world. , so you can only be human with your tail between your legs.”

"Concentrating on a high level of cultivation will only lead to low actual strength in the end. Even if you are a Nascent Soul Dzogchen now, maybe I, a subordinate in the early stage of foundation establishment, will not be able to survive ten moves."

After Jiang Li said these words, Qin Shu's expression became particularly strange, and Jiang Li asked indifferently at this moment, "Do you dare to have a sword fight with me?"

When these words fell, not only Qin Shu, but also the four guardians behind him seemed to have heard the big joke. Qin Shu couldn't help laughing, but Jiang Li took a step forward.

"In a sword fight with me, if I lose, I will die. If I win...you let these children go."

The corners of Qin Shu's mouth became more playful. Looking at Jiang Li's face in front of him, he took out his spirit sword from the storage ring without any haste. It was a blood-red soft sword. After being held tightly by him, it emitted a faint red light.

"I really want to know where your confidence comes from." Qin Shu sneered, and in the next moment, Jiang Li also took out the spirit sword that Yue Ji gave him from the storage ring, and the rusty spirit sword was covered with dust. He clenched it in his hand.

Bai Sheng stood behind Jiang Li, staring blankly at his back. Jiang Li's expression was very calm, so calm that she was a little strange. She had practiced swords with Jiang Li many times before, but she had never felt such a flaw in Jiang Li. momentum.

But at this moment his opponent is the late Nascent Soul Dzogchen.

The difference in cultivation between the two of them was already so many realms, Bai Sheng could only stare at him blankly, but at this moment, she had an inexplicable intuition in her heart that Senior Brother Jiang Li would not lose.

Jiang Li stood quietly on the spot, slowly raised the spirit sword in his hand, his eyes became cold, the breeze blew past, and the atmosphere in this dense forest suddenly became a little chilly.

It seems that the dense forest ushered in the harsh winter in an instant.

His hand holding the sword was very steady, without the slightest tremor or deviation, and the posture of drawing the sword was also very standard, but what he used was not Yin Jianfeng's sword move, but a unique move he created.

When the sword intent has been practiced to the extreme, that move has no meaning, and any of his swords has taken advantage of the power of heaven and earth. He has not yet drawn his sword, but Qin Shu, who is opposite him, suddenly feels a chill on his neck, as if that one The sword was already across his neck.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Li's figure disappeared in place, and Qin Shu, who was facing him, also raised his sword and slashed at him. The scarlet light touched the afterimage, but did not collide with it. One sword, and in the next instant, his blade was already across Qin Shu's neck, and the blade had cut through his skin, stained with bright red blood.

Even the four guardians behind Qin Shu didn't react. Jiang Li's hands didn't tremble a bit, and his eyes were still calm. Qin Shu raised his head slightly, but there was no fear. It was filled with a little shock, and after the shock, it returned to tyranny.

"This sword is really powerful, what's its name?"

"Fix the storm."

"You can't kill me. If you kill me, all those children will die."

"I won and let them go."

Jiang Li's sword was on Qin Shu's neck at this moment, and the four people behind him wanted to step forward, Jiang Li's eyes looked at them coldly, "If you take one step forward, I will kill him."

Qin Shu raised his hand to signal them not to act rashly.

"This sword was my negligence. In this way, there are a total of 36 children here. You beat me with this sword. I let six go. Let's try another sword, how about it?"

"Now, let them all go, otherwise, I will kill you." Jiang Li said word by word.

But Qin Shu, who was under his sword at this moment, did not have the slightest fear, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me, and you dare not kill me. If you kill me, all those children will die, and you will die too. If you kill me, will you die?" Any meaning...you are only qualified to continue to gamble with me on the sword if you listen to me."

Naturally, Jiang Li's sword couldn't be faster than those guardians standing beside the children, so he was not qualified to negotiate from the beginning. Jiang Li was silent for a moment, "Let go of those six children first."

Qin Shu made a look, and one of the four guardians took off the vines on the wrists of the six children. The children slowly woke up. Although they were very weak, they were still alive. Jiang Li The tip of the other finger moved slightly, and the six drawn talismans were pasted on the heads of the six children. The six children lost consciousness, and their bodies were controlled by the talismans to walk down the mountain.
