Chapter 365 Everyone is in danger
Su Ziyi's arrival means that all the surviving members of the Xuan Cang Sect have almost arrived.
After counting the number of people, Zhu Lian's face suddenly became ugly. But after the surviving disciple told him all the details of the future, the gloom on his face seemed to solidify, as if ink was dripping from his face.
Like Su Ziyi, Zhu Lian never thought that Qiao Yun would act so boldly.
He glanced at Qiao Yun, who was tied tightly, but remained silent, as if he didn't care at all about what would happen to her next. But Zhu Lian knew that this was all fake. This man was just relying on his talent to be confident. Involuntarily, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart.
This is almost rare.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he turned to the disciple and said: "Then, leave Elder Qiao Yun with me. After we go out, I will inform the sect leader of this matter. Let the sect master seek justice for the dead disciple." Although he spoke in a low voice, his tone was firm and passionate, causing Qiao Yun, who had been pretending to be dead, to look over.
Zhu Lian's status was very high in the hearts of the Xuan Cang Sect disciples. After gaining his trust, the disciples had no objection and just nodded in agreement.
However, there are some things that still need to be asked: "Other than you, me and Elder Su, does anyone else know about this matter now?" After all, this matter is a scandal of Xuan Cang Sect, if it spreads like this , I am afraid it will be detrimental to the sect. And the disciple also knew the stakes of this matter, so he kept his mouth shut all the way and did not mention it to anyone else, but - "At that time,
in addition to Su Ziyi, the Master Qin was also present. He was afraid that He saw clearly what happened." When he said this, he deliberately lowered his voice.
Because of his words, Zhu Lian subconsciously turned his head and looked at Qin Sikai.
Qin Sikai was handsome and had a friendly temperament, so he quickly gained the favor of many Xuan Cang Sect disciples. In addition, he is obviously a foundation-building cultivator and alchemist, but he has no pretensions at all. He even generously donated money to some seriously injured disciples. Such a good person, even the most hard-hearted people will have such a cold heart when they look at him. It will also be a bit softer.
But among these people, Zhu Lian is definitely not included.
Zhu Lian still had an impression of Qin Sikai.
The memory of a foundation-building practitioner is very good, so even if several years have passed, and even if it was only a quick glance at the beginning, he has not forgotten that it was this man who overpowered Su Ziyi and others to win the first place in the Danbi that year. Judging from the alchemy techniques and cultivation, this person is definitely a rare talent, but Zhu Lian subconsciously rejects the other person, especially when the other person laughs, he can't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart.
This man's fake smile was too obvious.
Perhaps Zhu Lian's gaze was too intense, or perhaps Qin Sikai himself was too sensitive. When Zhu Lian had only stared at Qin Sikai for a few breaths, Qin Sikai turned his head and looked at Zhu Lian. He had a slightly frightened look on his face, as if he couldn't figure out why Zhu Lian was staring at him, but with a kind attitude towards others, he still nodded towards Zhu Lian reservedly.
Zhu Lian, who was watching the man being arrested, didn't have any embarrassment on his face. He and Qin Sikai were like brothers born at the same time, and they gave each other identical smiles.
This time, the smile on Qin Sikai's face became even bigger.
When Su Ziyi came back from talking to Bian Qing and Su Yulang, he saw two people laughing awkwardly. Of course, the embarrassment here does not refer to Zhu Lian and Qin Sikai themselves, but to the psychological feelings of other bystanders when they see the two of them. Su Ziyi, who knows both of them well, even felt a twinge in his heart when he saw their smiles. Feeling like Maomao.
Glancing at Qin Sikai, Su Ziyi walked towards Zhu Lian first: "What's wrong?"
Although Qin Sikai helped him a lot along the way, and they even had a life-and-death relationship, Su Ziyi did not completely trust him. , especially the matter of Xuan Cang Sect.
Seeing their family coming over, Zhu Lian temporarily stopped fighting with Qin Sikai and just smiled lightly: "It's nothing." However, how could Su Ziyi believe what he said? He glanced at the disciple with twinkling eyes, thought about the matter in a flash, sighed softly and said, "I'll talk to Master Qin later and ask him to keep the secret." Qiao Yun's matter is not very honorable after all. If possible, it should not be spread.
Hearing this, Zhu Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll bother Junior Brother Su."
Bian Qing and Su Yulang, who were standing behind Su Ziyi, looked at Qiao Yun curiously. The two of them withdrew too early, so they didn't know what Qiao Yun did to the remaining disciples later. But looking at the postures of Su Ziyi and Zhu Lian, they instantly understood that this elder who was obsessed with refining weapons was probably It's a big mistake.
After leaving Qin Sikai's matter to Su Ziyi, Zhu Lian went to deal with other matters.
Su Ziyi led Bian Qing and Su Yulang towards Qin Sikai. Although the two of them have known each other for a long time, this was the first time that Qin Sikai had a face-to-face conversation with Bian Qing and Su Yulang. Therefore, under Su Ziyi's introduction, both sides said a few polite words, and the whole scene was instantly changed. They were all too polite.
Fortunately, after the greetings, Su Ziyi picked up the conversation and expressed his request to Qin Sikai tactfully, and Qin Sikai agreed with a smile, looking very talkative.
Seeing that he agreed, Su Ziyi finally thought about telling him his next plan: "Judging from what we talked about that day, we are afraid that we won't be able to get out for the time being. Master Qin, do you have any other plans?" ?" He had already learned about the nameless seal from Bian Qing, and guessed that the nameless seal should be as rare as the essence of the Five Elements he obtained, so he had already agreed with Bian Qing that the family of three would concentrate on hunting the black ghost to see if they could This nameless seal cannot be repaired.
However, it was not convenient to talk to Qin Sikai about this matter.
Qin Sikai sat down with the two of them and asked innocently: "What can we plan?" He blinked: "There is nothing here, even the alchemy requires me to pay for it myself, what can I do? ?" He looked at the busy Xuan Cang Sect disciples and said calmly: "It has been a few months since the incident happened. Due to the lack of food, water, elixirs and other resources, we have to face the situation next. It's not just the black ghosts and the turbid energy that are right, there are other cultivators as well."
He retracted his gaze and looked at Su Ziyi with an extremely serious look on his face: "At this time, there is no other way but to walk together."
"That's right." Su Ziyi responded.
However, if they think of leaving in a group, wouldn’t other people who lack resources think of banding together to rob?
They all thought of this possibility, but they just made a tacit agreement not to mention it.
"The severity of this incident is far beyond our imagination." Looking across the crowd, Qin Sikai looked into the distance. The black at the end had not faded at all, as if the black ghosts they had killed in the past few months had not faded. It's all in vain: "This is no longer something we can handle. We must have a golden elixir to deal with it, and there are more than one."
So serious?
Although Su Ziyi knew that the matter would not be good after hearing what Qin Sikai said that day, he never thought that it would be so serious. Golden elixir? There are quite a few golden elixirs among the many forces in Dai State, but none of them are here, and they have no way to contact the people of the sect, so how can they solve this matter?
For a moment, Su Ziyi fell silent.
Seeing that Su Ziyi was silent, Qin Sikai looked over and found that Su Ziyi's face was solemn, as if he was too deeply affected by what he just said. He immediately smiled and said: "Master Sudan, don't be too anxious." Su Ziyi looked up at him. "Although it seems on the surface that we cannot contact people outside, there is no guarantee that some forces have special means to pass the news out."
He said meaningfully: "So, we just need to wait."
Su Ziyi's heart sank, and found that this was the case, and this was the only way to go, so he had no choice but to sigh helplessly: "Well, that's it for the time being. Just wait."
As Qin Sikai said, the situation within the entire restriction is getting worse and worse.
There are fewer and fewer living people, and those who are alive are fighting more and more fiercely. When Su Ziyi took Bian Qing and Su Yulang out to hunt black ghosts, they could obviously find that there were more mummies. Some corpses had obvious spiritual burns and sword cuts. They were obviously killed by other cultivators. Naturally, all valuable things such as storage bags are missing from this type of mummy.
But in contrast, the number of black ghosts has decreased.
This made everyone feel nervous even as they breathed a sigh of relief.
The black at the end has never dissipated, but is getting darker and thicker, as if all the black ghosts are rushing over there. Seeing such a thick darkness makes one's heart tremble with fear. Some timid people wander around wildly, just to find a way out, for fear that they will be swallowed up by the filthy air and become mummies, but until they have used up everything they have , unable to find a way out.
This is simply disappointing.
Originally, only a few people knew about these people, but as there were fewer and fewer people, everyone became closer to each other, and information exchange became more and more frequent, causing the matter to spread more and more widely. For a moment, all places with people seemed to be shrouded in despair.
Zhu Lian's side has also received a lot of visitors recently.
As the situation worsened, most people realized that they could no longer fight alone. Immediately, the forces with a larger number of people who came in quickly joined together, and the forces with a small number of people also joined the friendly forces. And a large and upright sect like Xuan Cang Sect has naturally become the first choice of these cultivators.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Xuan Cang Sect's residence was very lively.
On this day, when Su Ziyi took Bian Qing and Su Yulang back to the station, they saw some strange faces again.
Chapter 366 The evil cultivator comes to visit
These people are surrounding Zhu Lian.
Su Ziyi glanced at them and found that the cultivation levels of these new faces were all very low. The lowest ones were at the twelfth level of Qi refining, and all of them had strong blood energy. It seemed that they had experienced a lot of fierce battles recently.
Looking at the robes of different styles on their bodies, Su Ziyi withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked in another direction.
Recently, Qin Sikai got a guqin from nowhere, and he played it here every day when he had nothing to do. From morning to night, he never left the station unless necessary. And he was really good at playing, even the Xuan Cang Sect disciples who were not very interested in these and were being stared at closely by Zhu Lian would inevitably take a few more glances, not to mention those disciples from other forces later on?
Therefore, when Su Ziyi walked to where Qin Sikai was, he was surrounded by about a dozen women with twins.
Su Ziyi didn't understand music. Although he thought Qin Sikai's playing was pretty good, it was only good. His face didn't have the intoxication of the people around him at all. He just had a headache on how to get Qin Sikai out. Fortunately, after Qin Sikai finished playing a piece of music, he looked up and saw Su Ziyi standing outside like a pillar.
He whispered a few words to the people next to him in a pleasant manner, and while teasingly handed the guqin to a young woman, and then walked out calmly.
As he got closer, Su Ziyi smelled a faint fragrance, which was obviously not the smell that Qin Sikai should have. This made Su Ziyi's eyes look a little strange. She felt that this person was born to be soaked in makeup and powder. No matter where he was, he could quickly win the favor of a group of women and Shuang'er.
However, after all, this is someone else's private matter, and he can just take a look at it.
Putting away the strange feeling in his heart, he joked to Qin Sikai: "I see there are more people around you today?" In response to Su Ziyi's words, Qin Sikai didn't feel embarrassed at all, but was very open and honest. He said swayingly: "There are two more people. Fellow Daoist Xiao from Zilian Mountain and her junior brother came here with their master today. Because they are both interested in music, we chatted for a while." "That's it." Su Ziyi
She glanced at him with a half-smile, but Qin Sikai was as thick-skinned as a city wall in this regard. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he asked Su Ziyi: "Why did you come back so early today?" On weekdays, Su Ziyi Once I go out, I stay away all day, and sometimes I don’t even come back for days or nights.
Hearing what he said, the smile on Su Ziyi's face instantly disappeared, and he changed to a tired look: "There are no black ghosts around here." Hearing this, Qin Sikai was also slightly surprised.
. He knew that based on the abilities of the three people of the Su family, the area may not be a few miles or dozens of miles in radius, but probably hundreds or even hundreds of miles. From this point of view, this matter would be a bit complicated. Something is wrong. Immediately, he turned his head and looked behind him, as if he wanted to see if the blackness over there had begun to dissipate.
But, obviously, it's impossible.
Looking back, the expression on Qin Sikai's face was more serious than Su Ziyi's. He had been to more places and knew more than Su Ziyi, so he immediately realized that something was wrong: "Did you tell Zhu Lian?" Although Zhu Lian was not very friendly towards him, it was undeniable that the other party Ability and strength are quite good.
Su Ziyi shook his head: "Not yet." He paused and said, "I just saw a group of strangers surrounding him, and he didn't pass by." Qin Si was relieved and nodded: "That's it."
He He has been staying at the station recently and has not gone out. Naturally, he is more aware of the recent situation in the station than Su Ziyi: "Those people actually came here a few days ago, but you were not there at the time. And this time they came, I am afraid they are planning to discuss how to do it." It's time to find a way out."
"A way out?" Su Ziyi's voice was higher, with some sarcasm in it that he was not even aware of.
"Well." Qin Sikai glanced at the two girls who were making a fuss and said, "Didn't I just say that the people from Zilian Mountain are here today? In fact, they were here a few days ago. At that time Just to discuss with Zhu Lian how to get out." "What did they tell you?" Although he didn't mention his name, Qin Sikai knew who Su Ziyi was referring to.
"Well." Qin Sikai flipped up his elastic sleeves nonchalantly, and didn't think there was anything wrong in telling Su Ziyi what others had told him: "Fellow Daoist Xiao said that her master had already preliminary communicated with Zhu Lian and the others that day. , but Zhu Lian felt that the number of people was not enough, so he decided to wait for a few days and wait for people from other forces to arrive before making a decision."
"So, you already have a plan?" Su Ziyi raised an eyebrow.
"It's no wonder you are Master Sudan, just one point will reveal it." Qin Si said with a smile. He stopped playing with his sleeves and put his hands behind his back. There was a slight complacency on his face: "Remember when we talked about the turbid air and the black ghost? Something?" "Of course." "Because I go to many places, I can tell the identities of those things at a glance, and among the people from other forces who came here this time, it is inevitable that some people have the same experience as me. See the origin of these things."
"Of course, it is also possible that Zhu Lian knows it himself." Qin Sikai added lightly.
Su Ziyi said nothing, just looked at Qin Sikai, waiting for Qin Sikai's next words. He knew that what Qin Sikai said was possible, but emotionally he was more willing to believe the first one, and even if it was actually the second one, it would not have any impact on him. What he really cared about was what would happen next for them. What on earth are the crowd planning to do.
Qin Sikai obviously saw his attitude, so he no longer struggled with this matter.
"From the looks of them, I'm afraid they plan to form an alliance, go deep into the center of the turbid air, and solve the entire problem in one fell swoop." "What?!"
Qin Sikai said it lightly, but when Su Ziyi heard it, it was like heaven and earth. Just talk at night. However, just as he exclaimed, he realized that his reaction was a little too intense. He immediately avoided the gaze of those who cast curious glances, lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Are you sure?" "If
not There was an accident, it must be like this." Afraid that Su Ziyi would not believe it easily, he added: "He has let go of the elder Qiao Yun of your sect these days to repair magic weapons for other people. ."
At this moment, Su Ziyi really had nothing to say.
After a long time, he murmured: "But, didn't we say that that day? Without Jin Dan's intervention, this matter cannot be solved at all. Now that so many people are entering, it is tantamount to seeking death." "But still Is there any other way?" As soon as Su Ziyi finished speaking, Qin Sikai retorted directly, his eyes widened like a curious frog: "Everyone's supplies are being consumed. If you don't take the initiative, , we will be trapped to death by ourselves first."
Indeed.
At this time, Su Ziyi really didn't know what to say.
Qin Sikai comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. With so many people gathered together, we will always find a way. Didn't I say that the other day? Maybe among this group of people, there will be Someone who can contact the outside world." "If I could, I would have contacted him long ago, why wait until today." Su Ziyi didn't look at him, and spoke in a voice as soft as mist.
After chatting with Qin Sikai, Su Ziyi went to find Zhu Lian again. He told the other party what he had discovered, but Zhu Lian only nodded to express his understanding. He added another sentence to ask Su Ziyi and others not to go out recently, and left in a hurry with the disciples who came to see him, without any intention of talking to Su Ziyi. plan of.
After Zhu Lian left, Bian Qing, who had been standing next to Su Ziyi, reached out to hold his hand and looked at him worriedly.
Su Ziyi felt warm in his heart and shook his head: "I'm fine." He took a deep breath, held Bian Qing's hand tightly, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved: "Alchemist Qin is right, There is only one road in front of us now, there is no other road, so we might as well take advantage of the moment and gather everyone's strength to make a profit."
"Yulang and I still have a lot of elixirs left." Bian Qing's shoulder was next to Su Ziyi's, making people feel his body temperature.
"I also have a lot here." Su Ziyi knew Bian Qing's intentions and said warmly, with a real smile in his eyes: "And this is not necessarily a bad thing..." At the beginning, he relied on the essence of the five elements and the overwhelming The black ghost has been promoted to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Now that they meet again, maybe he, Bian Qing and Su Yulang will gain something again.
No matter what Su Ziyi thought, things still went as planned by Zhu Lian and others.
In the following days, there were more and more people in the Xuan Cang Sect's residence. Looking at the strange and familiar robes and styles around him, Su Ziyi felt a little confused. The people from these forces are not as powerful as the Xuan Cang Sect, so there are not many people alive, but overall, they are not too few. Su Ziyi did a rough count and found that there were nearly two hundred people, among whom were foundation-building practitioners. It occupies a quarter!
Such combat power would be considered powerful anywhere in Dai State.
It's a pity that they are not outside now, but trapped in an ancient restriction. The enemies they have to face are not monsters or cultivators, but tireless and painless turbid air and black ghosts.
On this day, Su Ziyi, who was meditating, heard a burst of noise when his ears moved. When he opened his eyes, he found that everyone was looking outside with angry or panicked faces. There was a thought in his mind, wondering if the black ghost was coming again? Thinking like this, he couldn't sit still at all, and walked out with Bian Qing and Su Yulang.
But I don’t think that everyone is just looking at people.
However, this person is not an ordinary person, but an evil cultivator who goes against the stance of everyone present!
