Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters, the smoke rises
Full moon night, outside the sea.
The island where Qi Zhuang lived in seclusion was the earliest place where the Ming family lived in the outer sea. Although all the immortals of the Ming family have moved to [Dongzong Island], they still have deep feelings for this place, and they often refer to it as "old island" in their words.
Houses on the island have been uninhabited for many years, and the sea breeze eroded and declining everywhere.
A Taoist figure flew near the sky, pressing the escape light in front of a broken wall in the center of the island. He was a thin and capable foundation-building old cultivator with his eyes full of virtuousness and a cunning look in his eyes. It was Liu Guang who instigated Zhan Jianfeng to go to the black market to buy a furnace and cauldron.
Since You Dayou learned of hidden dangers in the sea, Qi Xiu ordered the monk Chu Qin to evacuate the sea. However, Nangong Yanran, who was actually in charge of the matter, was reluctant to live in the sea, and secretly moved and transferred Liu Guang, who was working in the Tiefeng Islands at that time, to Haidong Islands, and remained in the sea to take charge of business. Her idea was that Liu Guang was hated by Qi Xiu. If there was an accident, Qi Xiu would definitely not be angry with her and would not suffer any losses to Chu Qin.
Liu Guang was not stupid. He suddenly became rich and the Chu family evacuated the offshore, so he could taste it. But firstly, he was really reluctant to take a look at the power and status brought by Chu Qin's offshore business. Secondly, Nangong Yanran took advantage of the old subordinate Zhan Jianfeng's move to operate him from a guest official to a Chu Qin official, and moved his family to the Chu Qin land. This was Liu Guang's wish. Since his wish was fulfilled, he would stay in the offshore with peace of mind. Facing the broken wall, he slowly sorted out his appearance carefully, and walked forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared. It turned out that the broken wall was an illusion, the entrance to the formation, and it was very exquisite.
Inside the illusion array was an ordinary cave. At this time, the gate was closed, and two foundation-building male cultivators stood outside the door. Both of them had a good appearance, but the distance between the two sides was very far, and it seemed that they were not very right.
"Oh, this is not Liu Da's pursuit!"
The older man was cheerful and saw Liu Guang coming in and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Liu can decide on business in the sea outside the Chu Qinmen?"
"The Lord of Sage was joking."
Liu Guang recognized that the other party was the leader of Baisha Sect, the wild son of the lord of Chu Qin, and he was in the late stage. He had hope of making pills. In the past, he didn't even look at him. He dared not be negligent, so he stepped forward and bowed to him, said a few stubborn jokes, and then turned to another person. Ming Ziyuan, the head of the Ming family in Dongzong Island, and said with a smile: "Ming's head is fine."
Ming Ziyuan, wearing a Confucian shirt, bowed, "Brother Liu." He was a Confucian scholar of fate and morality. He couldn't talk to Shanuo, who was very accustomed to Baishan. He had an average relationship with Liu Guang, who was versatile. However, when he was on the sea, the Ming family had a lot of contacts with Liu Guang in business, and was considered familiar with him. "You came just right, I'll ask something."
Liu Guang said: "Please say it."
Ming Ziyuan said: "The price of [Phoenix Sailfish Scale] plummeted recently, can you tell the reason?"
Liu Guang smiled, "I heard the news that there were countless [Phoenix Sailfish] nearby, and floating corpses filled the sea for more than ten miles, so...hehe."
"So that's it!" Akikoyuan suddenly realized, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why is there no such good thing near my house?"
The three of them had their own thoughts and barely maintained the chatter without hesitation until the gate of the cave opened silently. The three of them immediately calmed their faces and bowed their hands together.
A woman in black appeared at the door, with her pale skin like a ghost. When she saw the three of them, her cheekbones were immediately filled with disgust.
"See Uncle Master, I wish Uncle Master a promotion to the middle stage and the great way will be revealed."
Ming Ziyuan knelt down first and worshiped him with great gifts. Shanuo and Liu Guang could only pray with the mountain.
"You made a special trip to block my exit from the border."
The woman in black clothes is naturally a sword demon. He has a cold and direct personality and is not rude to the three of them. "Why are you here to ask me for help?"
Liu Guang's face turned red, and Shan Nuo said silently. Only Ming Ziyuan smiled generously and said, "I am indeed here to ask Uncle Master for help. Uncle Master is successful. My Ming family is ecstatic. The younger people below suggested to me that they would like to listen to Uncle Master's teachings in person. Haha, I can only come to ask Uncle Master for you with a shameless face. When you have free time, can you go to Dongzong Island to teach and solve your doubts."
"No."
Qi Zhuang looked cold, "I went into seclusion and I still knew about the outside world. You even refused the arrangements for the return of the senior brother of the sect. From now on, Chu Qin is Chu Qin, your Ming family is Ming family, and there is nothing to do, so why do you come to me?"
Even though Ming Ziyuan was mentally prepared, or was Qi Zhuang hard? Bang's refusal made him embarrassed and said, "Even if Chu Qin and my Ming family have no status, my aunt is your personal disciple after all, because of her love..."
"snort!"
He didn't mention this, and Qi Zhuang became even more unhappy when he mentioned Mingzhen. "She has already rushed to another road, so why not talk about it personally! Besides, when Miaoqing came to ask for guilt, you didn't think she was an aunt." She ignored Ming Ziyuan, she looked at Liu Guang and sneered: "You have also come to congratulate me?"
"Ahem." Liu Guang did not dare to lie to her and answered honestly: "It is also for congratulations, and for... and for me some time ago, I hired a team of casual cultivators to deliver batches of goods, but now there is no news..."
"What a mess." Qi Zhuang became more and more impatient and interrupted him, "Don't you recover the stolen goods if I don't leave the custody? And since I started, I have never heard of such a thing happening! What do you do!?"
"This...this..."
Liu Guang felt very aggrieved, "The sea outside is vast, it is really difficult for me to take care of it all by myself. Moreover, you are the only elder of my Chu Qin on the sea outside. If you don't care, then I will have no branches to rely on..."
“…”
Qi Zhuang would not be willing to care about such trivial matters, but Liu Guang said pitifully. She couldn't find any words to shirk it off for a while, and the scene became increasingly stiff.
Shan Nuo watched coldly, knowing that the Ming family was planning the Yuanlong family island after Dong Zhen's death. This kind of delicacy of snake swallowing elephant is impossible to achieve without Qi Zhuan's top combat power. Ming Ziyuan said it nicely now, so he asked Qi Zhuan to discuss a story, but he was afraid that there would be ambushing behind him. Although Liu Guang was smart, he did not understand Qi Zhuan's special status in Chu Qin. When he came to the door like the elders of other sects, he would naturally feel disappointed...
Where is myself? Although I have a mission, I come here for my own selfishness. I am hindered by the demons of my heart and can never reach the foundation building perfection, let alone the elixir. My life was crushed and studied countless times in my life. After thinking about it, no matter how I think about it, I will fall on the Baishan Sword Demon in front of me. I was a poor person in the soul-scattering coffin back then, so I ran very actively by spreading small things.
"It's useless for you to find Uncle Qi, Liu Fengxing. The head uncle ordered me to send a message and ask Uncle Qi to return to Baishan immediately."
He stood up and bowed to Qi Zhuang, "If you don't go back, I'm afraid he will come and invite him in person."
"I don't know what he is doing in secret again!"
Qi Zhuang had just advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Pill and was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, she encountered these messy things as soon as she came out of seclusion. She subconsciously glanced at Youying Island, "What is the original words of the senior brother of the sect?"
Shannuo's heart moved, "The head uncle said: As soon as she leaves the custody, she will go back to Baishan, and everyone will come back, right away! No reason to delay, otherwise I will go and invite her in person."
What do these four words "all come back" refer to?
After Shan Nuo finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Qi Xiu said these four words inexplicably. Qi Zhuang just asked strangely. He was too familiar with Youying Island, and this place was not far from Youying Island. "Is it because Qi Zhuang..." He realized, "Is Qi Xiu asking for "Youdi" and the Soul-Sannounced Coffin back then? She, a person who has been sleeping in the coffin for so many years, still wants to take over the body?? He is guarding what is in Youying Island? Is it because there is a living person in the Soul-Sannounced Coffin now?"
He thought a little bit out of his mind. Qi Zhuang was also fighting fiercely. He walked around the place for a few times. In the end, his trust in Qi Xiu was the upper hand. "I will set off tomorrow." He waved his hand, "You can stop by yourself."
After saying that, she soared into the sky and disappeared.
Among the three, only Shanuo achieved his goal. Liu Guang looked depressed, while Ming Ziyuan was more angry. "So heartless..." He said halfway, and realized that he had lost his composure in front of others. He reluctantly smiled at the other two: "My Dongzong Island is not far away. Ming is here to be a host. Can the two fellow Taoists appreciate their faces?"
Shanuo and Liu Guang were about to refuse, but suddenly they felt a sensation in their hearts, but they saw a black cloud of smoke rising from the sky in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous under the full moon. Just one glance, the gods captured it, and a primitive killing and violent desire arose.
The bronze ancient bell in Shannuo's sea of consciousness made a "clang" sound, and he was the first to wake up.
Ming Ziyuan, who practiced Confucianism, followed closely behind. Seeing Liu Guang stunned on the spot, his face shone fiercely, and he looked like he wanted to choose someone to eat. He shook his hand and made Haoranqi, which woke him up.
"It's the direction of [Dazhuo Island]!"
Ming Ziyuan jumped out of the illusion array, hovered in the air, staring at the black smoke in fear, "Demonic energy! What a great demonic energy! Something must have happened on Dazhuo Island!"
"What's going on!?"
In just a moment, Liu Guang seemed to have a dream. In the dream, he lived in a bloody world. He was still not satisfied with killing people in Yingcheng and Yingye. The more he killed, the more hunger he felt from the depths of his soul. When he woke up, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat. "Where is Uncle Qi!?" He was very scared and did not dare to look at the magic smoke. He turned around and wanted to hide in Qizhuang's cave, but found that the door was closed and he was not allowed to enter.
"Uncle Qi may have gone to get the things."
Shano glanced at the direction of the shadow island and changed the topic, "I left Dazhuo Island when I came. I didn't feel anything unusual?"
Dakeng Island is the island where the Nascent Soul power is located. It is nominally the main home of Dongzong Island where the Ming family is located and the Longjia Old Island. There is something wrong with Dakeng Island. Dongzong Island, which is not far away, may not be able to survive alone. "Who knows! Something is wrong in recent days. I remember that someone complained to me yesterday that in the nearshore, there is no fish to see..." Ming Ziyuan became more and more anxious, "No, I have to go back and take a look! Brother Sha, Brother Liu..."
He looked at Shanuo and Liu Guang, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Okay, I'll go and see it."
Both of them were slick, but Liu Guang had just been rescued by Ming Ziyuan before, so he couldn't say anything to refuse, but Shanuo didn't have the burden. He pretended to be pondered for a while and said, "The uncle of the sect is still waiting for me to return to Baishan to report..."
"Okay!"
Seeing that he was unwilling to help, Ming Ziyuan stood up with his sword and was about to go to Dongzong Island with Liu Guang, "Stop!" Qi Zhuang had quietly returned at some point, and stopped the two of them, "Go with me." She shook her hand and took out her own sword box. Countless black iron swords flew up from all over the island, flowing through like a tired bird returning to her nest.
"Thank you uncle!"
Ming Ziyuan was overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed hard.
When Shanuo saw Qi Zhuang wrapping up Mingziyuan, Liu Guang and the others flew away, and their mouths seemed to be out of control, "Wait, take me with you too!" This sentence blurted out.
