Shi Qingxuan said, "It flashed in and tampered with the formation after we left the Pu Qi Temple?"
Then, he overturned it, "No! It can't be like that. "
Xie Lian also said, "Impossible. We had already pushed open the door and came out,
Even if it flashed in and tampered with it,
We should have arrived at the original location because the formation had already been activated, so it would be useless to change it. Therefore, it could only make a move for a moment. "
It was also the short moment when Ming Yi finished drawing the formation and Shi Qingxuan blew out the candles that the entire Pu Qi Temple fell into darkness!
However..,
This contradicted what Xie Lian had said just now. Shi Qingxuan said, "But in the room just now..,
There were clearly only the four of us. "
In a small Pu Qi Temple..,
Three priests, a ghost king..,
If there was something along the way..,
How could they not know? And if one of them took advantage of the darkness to do something, the most likely..,
Who could it be?
Shi Qingxuan could not help but glance at Hua Cheng. Although he immediately stopped,
Hua Cheng did not miss this glance and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me? According to what I said..,
Don't you think the Geomaster is more suspicious? "
Ming Yi also glanced at him. Hua Cheng said, "Don't just guess who did it later. What if the formation he drew at the beginning was wrong?"
Ming Yi did not refute,
He did not express it. Shi Qingxuan could not bear to listen any longer and said, "Lord Hua City..,
Wait a moment. I know you guys have a grudge before..,
However, Brother Ming is really not such a person. This time, he was just temporarily pulled over to help me..,
There is no reason to do so. "
Hua Cheng said, "There is not necessarily a reason to do something. Actually, Lord Wind Master, you are also very suspicious. "
"Huh?" Shi Qingxuan never thought that this would work. He pointed at himself. "Who? Me?! "
Hua Cheng said, "Yes. A thief calling to catch a thief is very strange. Why are you here? If you and your brother were really so afraid of the White Words True Immortal, why would you tidy up such a pile of rags? It is not impossible to say that the two of you colluded to set up a trap and deliberately led us here. "
Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was just spouting nonsense without the slightest scruple. However, he did it in a way that made it seem as if everyone was worthy of suspicion. Shi Qingxuan was about to waver as he said, "I … Am I that bored?"
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Likewise. I'm not that bored. "
Whatever the other party used to hit him, he would use the exact same method to hit back. Xie Lian was thinking about something. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, all of you stop. The matter hasn't even been resolved yet and you're already suspecting your own people. "
Hua Cheng laughed heartily and stopped talking. His attitude was very clear. He was not going to help, nor was he going to cause trouble. He was purely here to play. There was no need to count on him, no need to be wary of him. After muttering to himself irresolutely for a moment, Xie Lian said, "Actually, there's another possibility. When the Geomaster inside the house finished drawing the formation, there was already someone outside the house who drew an even stronger formation on the door."
At that time, in order to prevent Qi Rong, who was outside the house, from hearing their conversation, Shi Qingxuan cast an isolation spell, and the Pu Qi Temple was sealed. Relatively speaking, it was not easy to be discovered if they did something outside the house. When two similar formations collided, the stronger one would win. This' stronger 'did not only depend on the level of the person who set up the formation, but also depended on the materials used to draw the formation. At that time, Ming Yi used aged cinnabar that Xie Lian picked up when he was collecting junk and didn't want. If someone used fresh blood to 'hold the line', it would naturally be better.
Shi Qingxuan immediately accepted this possibility and said, "Outside the house? Could it be Qing Gui? He's already like that, can he still cause trouble? "
Xie Lian said, "It can't be …"
Hua Cheng calmly said, "He shouldn't even think about moving for seven days. However, he isn't the only one outside the house. "
These words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Xie Lian said, "In short, let's not make wild guesses first, lest we hurt each other's trust."
After walking a few steps, he said, "That monster's words are really strange. Why did he say that this place will become a 'nightmare that the Wind Master never wants to remember'? Will we encounter anything in this place? "
Looking around, Shi Qingxuan slightly frowned and said, "… Wait. This place seems to be … "
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Ming Yi's gaze turn cold. His palm struck out through the air towards the back of Shi Qingxuan's head. Xie Lian shouted, "Wind Master, be careful of your back!"
However, he saw Ming Yi's palm split open a wide square object with a bang. That thing fell from the sky and smashed straight towards Shi Qingxuan's head. He jumped a few feet away and patted his chest, saying, "That was close, that was close!" When he looked down again, his pupils suddenly shrank. Xie Lian went up to take a look and was also slightly shocked. That thing was actually a horizontal board with golden characters on a blue background. The three large words "Fengshui Hall" were written on it.
Splitting the horizontal board of a Heavenly Official in half was a huge taboo. Ming Yi retracted his palm, his expression grave and stern. Shi Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his sleeves and swept away the two halves of the board. He said in a low voice, "Keep it a secret, keep it a secret! Don't tell anyone. If my brother knew that his board was smashed, he would definitely go crazy! "
Xie Lian turned around and said, "This … is actually a Fengshui Hall?"
That's right, the dilapidated house that they came out of was a Fengshui Hall.
The Navy Master was the God of Wealth, there was no one who did not love wealth. The temple that he presided over had always been full of incense, but it was actually in such a dilapidated state. It was as unbelievable as a stack of silver notes being thrown on the street and no one picking them up. Shi Qingxuan rushed back into the hall. The temple was filled with cobwebs and dust, it was a desolate place where no one cared about it. After searching for a long time, he finally found two statues that were too horrible to look at in the pile of abandoned junk behind the house.
The Goddess Statue of the Wind Master was missing arms and legs, while the God Statue of the Navy Master was decapitated. Furthermore, it was not due to aging and natural damage, but it was smashed by someone with a sharp weapon. It was as if someone had vented their endless hatred on them. These two statues were carved very realistically, as if they were alive. They were in such a sorry state, lying in the dilapidated and gloomy ancient temple with a smile on their faces, it was extremely uncomfortable.
Shi Qingxuan hugged a statue in each of his left and right hands and said, "What kind of enmity is this?"
Even though Xie Lian also felt that this scene was full of malice, in order to stabilize Shi Qingxuan's mind, he said warmly, "Master Wind, calm down. If someone worships, then someone smashes. It's just common sense in the world, there's no need to care. It must have been deliberately set up for you by that thing in order to incite your fear and absorb magic power from it. "
Ming Yi said concisely, "Can you do it or not? If you can't, then leave. "
Shi Qingxuan brushed away the dust on the faces of the two statues, gritted his teeth and grabbed the Wind Master Fan tightly. He suddenly stood up and said, "I can do it! I want to see what medicine it is selling in its gourd. "
The four of them left the dilapidated Fengshui Temple and walked around the small town. The town was very quiet and stable. It was neither prosperous nor backward, there was nothing unusual about it. It would be better to say that they were the most unusual ones. Compared to the crowd of mortals, this group of people's appearance and attire were too eye-catching. Therefore, not long after, they flashed into an alley and changed their attire.
Xie Lian's original attire was very simple, so there was no need to change. The other three people changed completely from head to toe. On the other side, Shi Qingxuan was expressing his opinion on Ming Yi's attire. On the other side, Hua Cheng had changed into a refreshing black robe. His long hair was also tied up neatly and was adorned with a white jade. He was less lazy and more energetic, as if he was a handsome and talented junior disciple from a famous sect. He really forced the emperor to dress like a beggar and not look like a beggar. He was still very eye-catching. Looking at him, Xie Lian could not help but think of an old saying, "A handsome man must be dressed in soap." He secretly thought that it was true. When he came back to his senses, Master Wind remembered something and said in a low voice, "San Lang, there is something I have always forgotten to ask you."
Hua Cheng adjusted his sleeves and said, "What is it?"
Xie Lian clenched his hands into fists and put them in front of his mouth to cough lightly. He tried his best to ask casually, "… What is your spiritual password?"
If he wanted to communicate with another person at any time, he first had to get the other person's password. For example, to find Shi Qingxuan, he had to first recite the following four lines of doggerel in his heart: "Master Wind is a heaven-sent genius", "Master Wind is funny and unrestrained", "Master Wind is kind and upright", "Master Wind is twenty-eight years old". Of course, for a normal Heavenly Official, their password would not be so difficult to say. It was still relatively normal.
The spiritual password of a Superior Heavenly Official would not be easily revealed to others unless they had a close relationship. As a Desperate Ghost King, Hua Cheng was naturally the same. Although the two of them had not known each other for a long time, their relationship could be said to be quite good. It was a bit strange that they had not yet gotten each other's password. However, thinking about it, every time there was something, they would directly meet up. Whether they exchanged or not, it did not seem to matter.
Xie Lian had never asked for any Heavenly Official's password because if there was anything, he could just directly shout into the spiritual communication array. If he wanted to find someone to talk to in private, he could use the array to talk to them. This was also the first time he took the initiative to ask someone for a password. He had no experience and was a bit worried that it would be rude. Seeing Hua Cheng's gaze flicker, yet he did not move, Xie Lian felt a bit awkward and hurriedly said, "Is it inconvenient? It's fine, it's fine. You don't need to worry about me. I was just casually asking. Because there was something I wanted to talk about in private later, I took the liberty to ask. I'll think of a way to quietly ask you … … "
Hua Cheng interrupted him and said, "It's not inconvenient. I'm very happy. "
Xie Lian was startled. "Ah?"
Hua Cheng sighed and said, "I'm very happy. Gege finally asked me. Because you never mentioned it, I thought it was inconvenient and you didn't want to exchange passwords with others. That's why I never took the initiative to mention it. Now that Gege finally asked, how could I say it was just 'casually asking'? "
Xie Lian let out a sigh of relief and his mood immediately brightened. Grasping Hua Cheng's hand, he said, "So it turns out we both have the same concerns! Just now, I was wrong. That sentence was just something I said casually to apologize to San Lang. So, what's your password? "
Hua Cheng's eyes slightly brightened. Slightly leaning forward, he said, "My password, Gege should listen carefully. I'll only say it once." After he finished speaking, he whispered a sentence.
When Xie Lian heard this, his eyes widened. "… … This? Is it really this? San Lang, are you sure? "
Hua Cheng was calm and composed as he said, "Mhm. It's this. If you don't believe me, Gege can try it now? "
How could Xie Lian dare to try it? He said, "Then … … then doesn't that mean every time someone comes looking for you, they have to silently say this sentence to you three times? This … … wouldn't that be very embarrassing? "
Hua Cheng giggled and said, "It's precisely because I don't want others to look for me that I deliberately said this sentence. I want them to know when to back off. However, if Gege wants to look for me, I'll accompany you anytime. "
Xie Lian still felt a little unconvinced. In his heart, he said, "This is too bad … …"
He hesitated. He wanted to use his psychic ability, but no matter what, he couldn't say that password. Even if he said it silently, it still wouldn't work. Seeing Xie Lian cover half his face and turn his head away, unable to make up his mind, Hua Cheng finally laughed enough and said, "Okay, okay. If Gege doesn't dare to say it, I'll look for you. What's your password? "
Xie Lian turned his head and said, "Just recite the Tao Te Ching a thousand times."
"… …"
Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow. After a while, Xie Lian heard his voice in his ear, "'Just recite the Tao Te Ching a thousand times,' these eleven words, right?"
The two of them were clearly standing face to face, but they didn't say a word. They communicated with their eyes and used a voice that others couldn't hear to whisper to each other. It was quite interesting. Xie Lian also used his psychic ability to reply, "Yes. You actually didn't fall for it. "
Hua Cheng blinked and continued to reply, "Hahahaha, I almost fell for it. This is really too interesting."
Xie Lian also blinked and revealed a smile.
It should be known that this password was something that he had seriously thought up eight hundred years ago. He thought it was very interesting, so he used it after ascending. However, many other Heavenly Officials didn't seem to find it interesting. Even after falling for it, they were speechless. Mu Qing directly said, "Your Highness, this idea of yours is too cold. Forgive me for not being able to laugh. Although Feng Xin laughed until he was rolling on the ground and shouting himself hoarse, Feng Xin's sense of humor was very low and inexplicable. He laughed, but Xie Lian didn't feel any sense of accomplishment. Since Hua Cheng also laughed now, it probably meant that it was really a bit interesting.
The original plan was to go to the most expensive restaurant in the Imperial City to drink, but since they didn't go to Cheng Huang City, it didn't matter where they drank. Thus, the group went to the largest restaurant in town and asked for a private room. After sitting for a while in boredom, the waiter brought the wine. Xie Lian said, "Excuse me to ask, what is this place?"
Although this question was very strange, it was the most direct and effective way. The waiter asked curiously, "Honored guests, you actually didn't come because of the fame? This is Bo Gu Town. "
Xie Lian said, "Fame? What fame? "
The waiter gave a thumbs up and said, "Our town's social fire! It's very famous in this area. Every year at this time, there are many outsiders who want to come and see this strange thing. "
Shi Qingxuan asked curiously, "What's social fire?"
Xie Lian said, "It's the entertainment that the people use to celebrate during festivals. There will be some acrobatics, local plays, and so on. You can watch it." It was a bit similar to the Xian Le Country's Upper Yuan Sacrifice Tour. However, the Heaven Sacrifice Tour was a royal operation and was controlled by the government. On the other hand, social fire was the entertainment of the people. Shi Qingxuan said, "But today isn't a festival, right? At most, it'll be Cold Dew tomorrow. "
Xie Lian said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be a specific festival. Sometimes, it's to commemorate someone and choose a special day to make a fuss and have some fun."
At this time, a commotion came from the crowd on the street below the restaurant. Someone shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Children and women, don't stand in front! Everyone move back, the troupe is coming! "
The four people looked downstairs. What they saw was incredible. Xie Lian's eyes suddenly widened. They saw a long procession of people walking down the street. In the procession, everyone wore bright red makeup and all kinds of strange clothes. Moreover, there was a sharp weapon stuck in their foreheads.
