Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 715: Legend of Ancient Sword 31

Everyone except the wolf demon was about to leave, but the master of Tiezhu Temple insisted on treating everyone to a good meal. Jiang Xinxin was anxious to go to the main hall of Qingyu Temple, so she directly refused: "We have things to do, and human lives are at stake, so we won't bother the master to treat us."

The temple master didn't beat around the bush when he heard this. He bowed his head and asked directly, "There is a village a hundred miles west of our Tiezhu Temple. That village has been dry for three consecutive years. I heard that the villagers have invited all the Taoists and monks within a hundred miles, but no one can pray for a drop of rain. Now the villagers are probably discussing relocation. I see that several Taoist friends have extraordinary cultivation. Perhaps after you finish your business, you can go over there and take a look?"

So that's what happened. Jiang Xinxin agreed immediately: "No problem. When we return, we'll ask the abbot for an introduction."

Jiang Xinxin came forward to agree to the matter, and the temple master reluctantly sent her down the mountain. When no one knew, the temple master had even thought about going to Tianyong City for exchanges.

The main hall of Qingyu Temple is not lacking, and the protection here is not like the bandit place like Fanyun Village. Jiang Xinxin wanted to use the invisibility talisman and the breath-suppressing talisman directly, but Ouyang Shaogong suggested: "In fact, I was also a disciple of Qingyu Temple. It's just that at that time I thought I could practice medicine and save people with my medical skills, but Lei Yan took a fancy to my ability to make medicine and refine pills. Before I left Tianyong City, I was detained by Lei Yan. Now I think I will deliver myself to him, and Lei Yan will definitely not refuse."

Everyone expressed their opposition. Baili Tusu pulled Ouyang Shaogong, fearing that he would fall into the trap if he wasn't careful. "Shaogong, you don't have to do this. We have all seen Xinxin's invisibility talisman and breath-suppressing talisman. They are very useful. Besides, we can go in and check on Aunt Tong and Princess Xunfang first. Maybe we can get something else."

Feng Qingxue also advised: "Yes, Shao Gong, even if you feel guilty, you don't have to gamble with your own safety."

Fang Lansheng was thinking about the invisibility talisman and the breath-suppressing talisman. He had not been assigned the task of going into the house to investigate the situation when he was in Fanyun Village. Now he volunteered and raised his hand: "Xinxin, why don't I go with you? Although my kung fu is not that good, I have a quick mind and maybe I can help you find out what you have missed."

Xiang Ling was also very tempted, but she could tell that the Qingyu Altar's main altar didn't seem to be an ordinary place. Fortunately, there was Fang Lansheng in front of her who could be used as an excuse: "Lansheng can go, and I have more cultivation than him, so I can help everyone."

Seeing that even Jiang Xinxin did not doubt him, Ouyang Shaogong closed his eyes, sighed softly, and reluctantly told the truth: "During the three years when I was imprisoned by Lei Yan, I did not really do nothing. With the endless supply of various medicinal materials provided by Lei Yan, I helped them refine many unexpected things. I was worried that everyone would get hurt."

Jiang Xinxin understood Ouyang Shaogong's concerns best, so she suppressed everyone's thoughts and said directly: "It sounds like the Qingyu Altar headquarters is not a good place. Shaogong, you can go in first to test the waters, but our purpose of this trip is to save people and find Jinniang. The rest can be discussed later."

After looking for a long time, Yin Qianshang finally understood that among this group of people, the one who can really make the decision is Jiang Xinxin, also known as Yuanxin. Even his friend Ouyang Shaogong has to listen to her!

Yin Qianshang shook the empty wine jug and stepped forward to vouch for Ouyang Shaogong: "I have also sneaked up to the Qingyu Altar headquarters. If you don't trust Shaogong, you should at least believe in my ability."

Feng Qingxue was the first to show her support, and Baili Tu Su followed suit. Although the two younger ones, Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling, had only known Yin Qianshang for a short time, they also believed in his abilities, so Ouyang Shaogong took the initiative to go to the Qingyu Altar headquarters to "fall into the trap."

Of course, before leaving, Jiang Xinxin stuffed him with a lot of talismans, arming him to the teeth.

Ouyang Shaogong was taken to the main altar by the people from Qingyu Altar. Baili Tusu, Feng Qingxue, Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling were in a state of restlessness. Later, when Yin Qianshang emptied the wine jug again, they could not help but make an excuse to support Ouyang Shaogong and slipped away.

Seeing that everyone was really anxious, Jiang Xinxin took out a red paper talisman and said to everyone, "I have a talisman here that can check on Shao Gong's condition, but it only lasts for a quarter of an hour at most. Do you think you should use it now, or wait a while and use it when the situation becomes critical?"

Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue directly said that they would use it later, but Fang Lansheng and Xiangling raised objections: "How do we know when it is a 'critical moment'? Logically speaking, shouldn't Lei Yan have tried to test Shao Gong when he took the initiative to find him?"

Well, the pressure came to Jiang Xinxin again, but she just smiled, took out another identical paper talisman and said to everyone, "Fortunately, I have more than one such talisman here. Why don't we take a look at what's going on with Shao Gong now, and then wait for the news that Yin Qianshang will bring back."

In order to amuse Fang Lansheng and Xiangling, Jiang Xinxin took out the talisman and asked them, "First, use a talisman. Who of you will activate it?"

Fang Lansheng was quick to grab the talisman before Xiangling could make a move. But when he heard Xiangling's wail, he stopped using the Jade Si Nan Pendant to activate the talisman. Instead, he held the talisman in front of Xiangling and said, "Xiangling, why don't you use this talisman? I'll do it next time."

Ouyang Shaogong, who had entered the Qingyu Altar, was indeed placed under house arrest by Lei Yan. He was also forced to deduce, verify, and change a large number of prescriptions one by one. He was only allowed to meet the beautiful Princess Xunfang once, and before they could say a few words, she was taken away again and no one knew where she went. However, Aunt Tong was allowed by Lei Yan to stay with him, saying that she was to take care of his daily life.

Everyone couldn't help but admire Princess Xunfang's appearance, especially Fang Lansheng. He had already passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. If he hadn't been so absorbed in the pursuit of immortality, who knows how many female confidantes he would have surrounded himself with.

"It turns out that Princess Xunfang, who defeated my sister, is such a stunning beauty!"

Xiang Ling was originally also admiring the beauty of Princess Xunfang, but when she heard Fang Lansheng say the same thing, she immediately became unhappy. "Although Princess Xunfang is beautiful, Sister Qingxue and Sister Xinxin are no worse than her, especially Sister Xinxin. No matter who comes, they will think she is much more beautiful than Princess Xunfang!"

Jiang Xinxin is indeed beautiful, the kind of beauty that will shock anyone, so she usually has to cover it up. But Xiang Ling, as a nine-tailed fox with Qingqiu blood, has the ability to see through many illusions, and Jiang Xinxin is somewhat close to her, so it is natural for her to see through Jiang Xinxin's deception.

Fang Lansheng was different. His mortal eyes could not support him to see through Jiang Xinxin's magic, but his intuition was indeed amazing. Although he could not describe Jiang Xinxin's appearance, he could feel the shock.

However, seeing that Xiang Ling was unhappy, he just tried to coax her. In addition, Jiang Xinxin deliberately ignored the topic, so the little awkwardness between the two children was soon resolved, and everyone's attention was returned to Ouyang Shaogong who was at the Qingyu Altar headquarters.

Aunt Tong reminded Ouyang Shaogong that Princess Xunfang and Lei Yan seemed unusually familiar with each other, and it seemed that they had known each other for quite some time. Ouyang Shaogong did not say whether he believed it or not, but said in a gentle voice that he knew it, and diligently helped Aunt Tong to rest.

The scene was interrupted here, and everyone learned a lot of things.

Baili Tu Su frowned and analyzed them one by one: "First, Lei Yan seems to be refining some elixir; second, the relationship between Lei Yan and Princess Xunfang seems unusual, and Shao Gong also noticed something wrong; third, Aunt Tong seems to know a lot of things."

Feng Qingxue added: "Also, I think the elixir that Lei Yan wants to refine requires the use of a jade pendant, which shows that it is not a good thing."

Fang Lansheng thought about it and raised his hand to speak: "Some scenes flashed by, and I seemed to see some people imprisoned in the Qingyu Altar. Well, I can't tell what's going on. I just feel that maybe Lei Yan has captured ordinary people to test drugs?"
