Human beings are deceitful, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Chapter 164. 163. The First Stepping Stone
"Friend Daoist An, please stay."

The man standing in front of An Le has a young face and a tall crown.

The robes are gorgeous and extraordinary, mainly in azure tones, and they look quite energetic.

Just by his demeanor, it can be seen that he is a child of a family.

An Le frowned slightly. He had something to do now, so he didn't want to be pestered by these guys.

A coldness flashed in his eyes, if the other party didn't know how to flatter him, he wouldn't mind killing others to make an example.

Seeing An Le's eyes, the young man was taken aback for a moment, feeling inexplicably uneasy: "I shouldn't have offended him before, why are the eyes so scary?"

He vaguely guessed something, and said repeatedly: "Friend Daoist An, do you have something urgent to do?"

"Then I won't bother you for now, let's talk when you're done."

An Le raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and thought to himself: "This person is quite interesting."

He first walked up to the gatekeeper and took out the blank paper.

Needless to say, the gatekeeper with a light and refined demeanor glanced at the paper: "I understand, just wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the interior of Taiyi Pavilion.

Taking advantage of this time, An Le turned to look at the man in the blue robe not far away, who immediately understood and walked over quickly.

The blue-robed man introduced himself and said: "Next week Tianxin, I don't know if you Daoist An will come to Taiyi Pavilion, why?"

"Zhou Tianxin?The Zhou family? '

Hearing this name, An Le narrowed his eyes.

After nearly "a year", he is not a newcomer, even if he didn't pay attention deliberately, he naturally has a certain understanding of the cultivation family in Taixu Palace under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Although the Xia family that Xia Jingnian lived in was powerful, it was not to the extent that it could cover the sky with one hand.

There are five other families with similar strength.

There are six aristocratic families in total, which are divided into the upper three families and the lower three families. The Xia family is in the ranks of the upper three families, while the Zhou family belongs to the lower three families. It can also be seen from the names that there is a gap in their strength.

Each family's focus, territory, and advantageous industries are different.

For example, the Xia family has a large number of blessed lands and secret realms, and many monks have to pay them a fee if they want to go in and out to explore.

And this week's family, as far as An Le knows, has many skilled craftsmen who have inherited ancient techniques, and the magic tools and treasures they refine are of high quality and low price.

Not to mention inside the Taixu Palace, even the big and small forces outside the palace will scramble to buy them. They are very popular and can be called hard currency in magic weapons. , also has everything available, and has extremely strong financial resources. He is the best of the next three. He is very active on weekdays, and there is a faint tendency to break through the shackles and rearrange the seats.

'What did my family want me to do this week? '

An Le was surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said indifferently: "I came to fetch some things at the order of my master."

Hearing this, Zhou Tianxin was thoughtful, and carefully asked: "Is it related to the elder brother of the Yi family?"

An Le's tone was icy cold, as if the cold snow had blown through the severe winter, and his gaze shot away like an arrow: "How do you know?"

During the deduction, there was also a situation where the senior brother disappeared, and it was hard for him not to link this incident with the disciples of the family.

Sensing his icy gaze, Zhou Tianxin trembled all over, as if being stared at by an ancient and powerful ferocious beast, a little bit of fear arose for no reason.

From his point of view, the gentle and unparalleled handsome skin in front of him seemed to be just an insignificant shell. Under this skin, there was a terrifying existence comparable to monsters and demons.

"I'm also a golden core after all, but I was frightened by his look?"

Zhou Tian thought to himself, "Everyone says it's An Le. There must be something strange about daring to reject Xia Jingnian."

"Looking at him today, he really lives up to his reputation. His aura is so scary."

Thinking of this, his desire to make friends became stronger.

Although the Zhou family and the Xia family are both disciples of the aristocratic family, how can the aristocratic family be monolithic?
For a family like the Zhou family that is trying to go further, An Le is undoubtedly a very valuable contact object.

Zhou Tianxin explained: "Friend Daoist An misunderstood, the matter of your elder brother is not a secret in Taixu Palace, he once caused quite a lot of trouble in this city, and everyone knows about it."

"At that time, it was Elder Gu who came personally and paid a certain price to calm down the situation."

After saying this, Zhou Tianxin felt the locked-in chill on his body subside quickly, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

on the other side.

An Le thought to himself: "In this city, I am afraid that there are eyes and ears of several big families. Whether it is the news of my coming here or these rumors and secrets, they are all well aware of it." '

He asked, "What is my big brother's trouble?"

Zhou Tianxin was surprised: "You don't know?"

He didn't keep it too close, and continued.

"I don't know the specific illness, but I heard...it should be a kind of hysteria."

An Le wondered, "Cultivators also suffer from hysteria?"

You must know that when an ordinary monk breaks through the foundation establishment, his whole body will go through a baptism, which will achieve the effect similar to washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow.

All kinds of diseases, big and small, from broken arms and legs to infertility, will be cured by this.

Therefore, An Le didn't quite believe it for a while, that the senior brother, who was always normal on weekdays, still had this kind of hidden danger in his body.

Zhou Tianxin: "Anyway, it's a very difficult disease."

An Le thought about it for a while, if it was easy to solve, wouldn't Gu Shanshan have helped him cure it long ago, so why would he adopt such a method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Not long after, the gatekeeper came out of Taiyi Pavilion, holding a special jade box.

"The things are here, but there happens to be a treasure missing in the cabinet, so you have to find another way."

The gatekeeper's attitude towards An Le was quite friendly, with a little apology, as if he was concerned about his status as a teacher.

"It's a precious material called Zilei Immortal Rock, which was taken away just a few days ago."

An Le's heart sank.

He has always been suspicious of coincidences in the world, especially in this special situation.

"Then where can I get this medicine?"

The gatekeeper replied: "Usually, only auction houses in the city sell it, and it depends on luck."

After understanding the situation, An Le frowned, and was about to turn around and leave when Zhou Tianxin coughed dryly.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist An, I happen to have some of the treasures you mentioned."

An Le glanced at him suspiciously, wondering if Zhou Tianxin was acting as a demon in this matter.

I can't blame him for being suspicious. Since An Le crossed, this kind of thinking of "there are always people who want to harm me" has always occupied a high ground. It's just that he was able to suppress it with strength before, so it didn't show up for a long time.

But in this Taixu Palace, there are quite a lot of malice aimed at him, so we have to guard against it.

After thinking about it, An Le thought it was impossible.

Besides, right now, he doesn't have much choice.

Soon, Zhou Tianxin found a servant at home, took a little time, and delivered Zilei Xianyan to Anle.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Putting away the Xianyan, An Le thanked Zhou Tianxin, knowing in her heart that this time it was a favor owed to him.

Zhou Tianxin replied calmly: "It's a small matter."

He smiled: "I also have selfish intentions, and I won't be polite when I need fellow Taoist An in the future."

This kind of attitude directly on the bright side is much better than Xia Jingnian's sanctimonious attitude.

******
After getting the item, An Le didn't stop, and quickly took the teleportation array.

However, when the light of the magic circle lit up, he had an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

The dizziness in front of him stopped, and An Le realized that he had come to a strange place.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, even the chirping of birds, beasts and insects was inaudible.

The sky looked extremely low, and the gray-black clouds seemed to be within reach. The nearby mountains were dark, and there were terrifying and terrifying things hidden in the depths, and the ominous and deep breath leaked out silently.

"here it is……"

After observation, An Le came to a conclusion: "It's the depths of the Gu Family Mountain Range."

He strayed into this area during the deduction, and was unfortunately torn apart by the big monster in it.

Take the mane-covered wild boar that Xiang Tieta gave An Le at the beginning as a meeting gift. It is useless in Xiang Tieta's hands, but according to An Le's judgment, it is at least a fourth-level monster.

It is equivalent to the Nascent Soul among human monks.

After An Leguang ate a few pieces of it, he felt extremely full of energy and blood, almost overflowing.

If you really want to fight, I am afraid that you will only be easily crushed.

It can also be seen from this that the depths of this mountain range are dangerous.

They don't seem to be conceived by themselves in the mountains, but come from another strange space.

"Is the teleportation circle passive?"

After a brief surprise, An Le probably understood the current situation, and the chill on his face became more intense.

He really didn't expect that someone would attack him in this way.

For those who are proficient in the magic circle, it is just a matter of lifting the coordinates of the teleportation to slightly shift or change.

The opponent's purpose is most likely not to put an end to death, but just want to scare him and cause a little trouble.

But with Anle's bad luck, this is no different from murdering one's life for money.

"You're so courageous..."

An Le thought in her heart: "I don't know which family did it."

"But now, I can only bear with it."

Looking around, An Le didn't know where he was now, so he hid in place temporarily, and used several pieces of talisman paper to hide his breath, and sent Lao Mo to investigate nearby.

Xie Xing himself is more proficient in hiding, and in this mountain forest, it is more suitable for action.

******
After a while.

Old Mo, who turned into a sticky shadow, stood up from the ground, and said tremblingly, "Master, we seem to be trapped in a lair."

Through Lao Mo's explanation, An Le quickly learned the terrain of the surrounding area.

There are rock walls around here, and the center is sunken downwards, showing the shape of a giant bowl.

Lao Mo also saw some animal feces and footprints, obviously there are monsters living here.

This is by no means good news.

How can a monster be so weak that it has such a huge lair in the depths of the mountains?
Even if it is not in the lair now, it is bound to return sometime.

An Le made a decision: "We must leave before it comes back."

He first applied a lightness technique, and then strode his legs wide, but his feet did not step on the ground, but stepped in mid-air, which can greatly reduce the movement produced when running.

An Le moved forward at full speed, the speed was astonishing.

After just a few breaths, they came to the edge of the lair and saw the towering gray-black rock wall.

"It's okay, not too high."

Anle breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to use the rock wall to continue climbing.

Suddenly, there was a scream piercing through the gold and stone.

"Wow!"

The eardrums trembled, and the hair on the body surface stood on end.

An Le relied on his intuition to dodge dangerously to the side, avoiding a gust of wind behind him.

A sharp claw that shone coldly passed by him and landed on the rock wall. A large piece of rock shattered and rolled down with a bang.

An Le turned his head to look, and in mid-air, a huge bird demon was flapping its wings, staring at him with sharp eyes, revealing undisguised malice.

The body of this bird monster is seven meters long, and its wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun, casting a large shadow over it.

The strange thing is that under the bird demon's red feathers, there seems to be a layer of dragon scales, showing its unique blood.

"Red Shadow Dragon Sparrow?"

An Le muttered to herself: "Looking at the body shape, it should still be in the infancy stage."

The one year of his deduction was not in vain. Not only did he improve his own strength as much as possible, but he also learned knowledge related to monsters, history, and various forces every day.

Therefore, he unlocked many skills such as [Monster Science (Proficient)] and [Human History (Master)], as well as an entry for [Extensive Knowledge (Blue)].

This kind of knowledge is hard to find in the outside world, but in Taixu Palace, as long as An Le speaks to his senior brother, he will be sent to the cave.

An Le recognized this weird bird demon.

It contains the blood of a dragon in its body, and is also proficient in Taoism related to flames. It has a ferocious personality, likes cannibalism, and is very difficult to deal with.

As for the Scarlet Shadow Dragon Sparrow, it is at least a Tier [-] monster once it is an adult, and it can be called a unique race.

Normally, An Le would not want to provoke the other party, but right now, there is no way to hide.

"Then, I'll take you as the first stepping stone after my breakthrough!"

With just a thought, the ghost armor came out from under the body surface.

There was also a layer of pale, deformed bones that also drilled out of the flesh.

Huge bone spurs drilled out from the shoulders and turned into the shape of shoulder armor. The originally folded and shrunk ribs and sternum wrapped around the waist and abdomen layer by layer.

In this way, the white bones formed a layer of pale bone armor, inlaid on the black ghost armor mixed with dark gold, making it look even more creepy and terrifying, somewhat like the appearance of Susano in a certain anime.

This was a mutation that An Le had experienced when he deduced the skeleton, and it was counted as one of the nested entries of the ghost armor.

In addition to being a bit evil when used, the increase in combat power is visible to the naked eye.

The torrential Qi and blood flowed like magma, and a trace of leakage from the pores was enough to ignite the dry vegetation.

In An Le's eyes, it seemed that the next step of the Red Shadow Dragon Sparrow, and even the next step, could be seen clearly.

Then, the figure suddenly rushed out!
　Thanks for the reward of 500 coins from "Drizzle and Breeze Manjuanshu"!thank you very much!
