The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

The face is covered with magic lines, from the center of the eyebrows to the lower lip, the eyes are cold and gloomy.On the left side of the waist, you can vaguely see a pattern, like the tail feathers of a phoenix.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the nearby bushes.

Qi Zhao suddenly had a bad premonition, he turned his head, and out of the bushes were six or seven people with phoenix tattoos on their backs, very similar to Zhou Ze's, but not vivid and dazzling It is red gold, but deep to weird black.

The matter in Phoenix City is indeed related to monsters.

The person who appeared first looked at Qi Zhao expressionlessly, and slowly pulled out a long sword engraved with black lines from behind, with a flat voice.

"kill--"

After the word fell, the six or seven people beside him all looked at Qi Zhao, their eyes extremely cold.

Qi Zhao roughly sensed that these people were almost all cultivators of the sixth and seventh ranks, and he couldn't beat them no matter what. After weighing it, Qi Zhao pursed his lips, threw the Thunderbolt Talisman over there, and hugged him. Tight ivy leaves turned and ran.

[It's not easy, the child has been stupid for so long, and finally understands that if he can't beat him, he will run away. 】

Xiao Jiu's voice was full of sighs.

Although these words are not worthy of beating, in the final analysis, they are correct. Qi Zhao used to be an honest person. When encountering a problem, his first thought was to grit his teeth and get through it. When he saw something wrong, he would run away. This is what he learned from Yuan Qi recently.

The few people behind were blocked by the Thunder Talisman for a moment, and quickly followed. Qi Zhao found a gap and took a sneak peek, thinking that their experience in chasing people should be gained from chasing and killing Zhou Ze.

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Qi Zhao took out the talisman paper given by Xie Shen from his Qiankun bag, and threw one back every time he ran a certain distance, which made Xiao Jiu's heart ache.

[Violence!waste! 】

Qi Zhao thought to himself, if I don't waste everything at this time, I'm afraid I'll lose my life, so he kept running forward without saying a word, the green vine leaf stayed quietly in his arms, stretching out the vines to block him from time to time.

The distance between the people behind him and him is getting farther and farther.

Qi Zhao found a secret place to hide in, glanced outside and didn't see the figures of those people, he was relieved, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps nearby.

Qi Zhao was startled, the vines of Yunxu Tengmu were entangled together, and quickly moved towards the direction of the footsteps, the man didn't panic, he waved his sleeves unhurriedly, and the force of the vines was instantly separated.

"Qi Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few days, isn't your way of greeting too different?"

As he said that, the figure of that person appeared from the depths, his robe was red and embroidered with gold, his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were open.

It turned out to be the long-lost Nie Pan.

"Nie Pan?"

"It's me." Nie Pan smiled and brushed the dust off his clothes, "Why are you here?"

"I should be asking you this question. This is the Cangwu Mountain Trial. Nie Yi said you were missing and your life card was damaged, so Xie Shen and I came... Where did you go before?"

Nie Pan frowned because of his words, "Cangwu Mountain?

Qi Zhao felt that his reaction was a bit strange, so he hummed. Nie Pan was silent for a while, then shook his head, "I can't explain what happened here, so let's talk about it after we go out. You were in a panic just now, what's wrong?"

Qi Zhao told him about those people with black phoenix patterns on their backs, and mentioned about Zhou Ze by the way. Hearing this, Nie Pan thought for a while, "Zhou Ze? I haven't heard of it, but..."

"Ok?"

Just as Nie Pan was about to speak, a faint demonic energy suddenly appeared in the wind. Qi Zhao immediately became vigilant, holding the lightning talisman in his hand, sprinkled the talisman at the moment those black figures appeared, and ran away while pulling Nie Pan .

I don't know if they were afraid of Nie Pan, but those people didn't catch up again.

Qi Zhao was exhausted, leaning against the sycamore tree to breathe, while Nie Pan watched him from the side, "It's just cultivators of the sixth and seventh ranks, so why be so embarrassed."

It was only then that Qi Zhao realized that the person next to him was the city lord of Phoenix City, with a heavenly cultivation base, there was no need to run away.

He turned his head to look at Nie Pan, who was lazily leaning against the plane tree, with a smile in his peach eyes, mesmerizing.

Qi Zhao: "..."

Probably because this guy looked so unreliable that he didn't count on him from the beginning to the end.

Seeing the meaning in Qi Zhao's eyes, Nie Pan smiled indifferently, "Didn't anyone tell you that judging people by their appearance will be disadvantageous?"

In fact there is.

Qin Xiu had said it to him verbally, but Xie Shen was more direct and made him realize this truth with his own actions, but he couldn't change it.

Qi Zhao rubbed his nose, "Since you are back, are you going back to the City Lord's Mansion? The eight guards of the Phoenix miss you very much, but you should be more careful at the Elder's Mansion."

"Those old guys are making trouble again?" Nie Pan's eyes dimmed.

He obviously didn't want to mention this matter, so he asked Qi Zhao, "Are you still planning to leave?"

"The trial will end tomorrow, I can't let the teacher down."

"That's fine."

Nie Pan smiled, "I don't want to go back for the time being. I just want to see what those people you mentioned look like. Since they have their eyes on you, they will come back naturally. I will follow you."

Qi Zhao looked at him quietly.

"Don't look at me like that, I will hide my breath then, and it won't have any effect on you."

To be honest, Qi Zhao didn't believe it at all, but when Nie Pan said so, he had nothing to do, so he nodded, "Okay."

Nie Pan suppressed the aura around him, and quickly hid his figure. Qi Zhao looked around and didn't find him, but he heard his voice in his mind, "Okay, no one will find me, go on, we need to go. If you want to help, just call me by my name, and Xie Shen will thank me."

This man is also very dishonest.

Qi Zhao ignored him, changed direction and continued walking, but he didn't meet those monsters, but the trainer who had been avoiding him before appeared.

Although Qi Zhaoming only had the second rank on the surface, he was actually at the fifth rank after passing it on. Naturally, he was not afraid. The number of vines and wooden plaques in his arms quickly increased, and the only troublesome thing was probably Nie Pan who was following behind him.

"Tsk, the strength is not bad."

"This man has a wicked face. Does Zhiling Temple accept people without looking at their face now? This is not impossible in Phoenix City. It's because you are pleasing to the eye, um, Xie Shen has a good eye."

"Also, did you see the pot of butterfly leaves that the man was holding just now? Everything follows the shape of the owner, such a beautiful flower, it is ruined."

He seemed to be watching a play, pointing and pointing with behavior, and there was only a plate of melon seeds at hand.

Qingtengye leaned close to Qi Zhao's ear and whispered, "Qi Zhaozhao, why is this person noisier than Huohuo?"

Qi Zhao was also very helpless, "Maybe it's because they both belong to fire, so their temperaments are similar."

As soon as the words fell, he was hit on the head by a fruit that appeared out of thin air.

Indus leaf's voice was high and cold, and said lightly: "Fire belongs to vegetation and does not take the blame."

Qi Zhao felt that he had suffered an indiscriminate disaster, so he glanced to the left based on his feeling, and quickened his pace.

There was a gentle breeze behind him, and Nie Pan's chuckle sounded for a moment, but was quickly blown away by the wind.

……

After one night, the situation in the trial became more tense.

Feeling that the people with the same vine and wood cards in their hands have already hidden, and the rest who are still far behind start looking around, fighting at the last moment, maybe there will be a turning point.

Qi Zhao bowed his head and counted the vine and wood cards he had now, 310, not a lot, but not too many.

【not enough. 】

Xiao Jiu said.

Qi Zhao also knew in his heart that after putting the rattan wooden card back into the Qiankun bag, he stood up holding the green vine leaves. The green vine leaves had been nourishing Qi Zhao's blood as much as possible during the night, and the leaves were a little wilted.

Qi Zhao touched its leaves, "Are you okay?"

"Okay." Ivy Leaf shook her head, "I told you I will protect you, and I will never break my word!"

Qi Zhao smiled softly, and the wind blew past his ears. Nie Pan appeared, and poked his fingers on the wooden body of Ivy Leaf, "Is it not working?"

No matter how soft the ivy leaf is, it is still a male flower. It is an opportunity to be asked if it is okay in such a questioning tone. The small thorns on the edge of the leaf immediately stick out and poke Nie Pan's finger mercilessly.

"Tsk, you have a big temper."

Nie Pan withdrew his hand, saw that the place where he was stabbed was already red, and squinted his eyes, "Do you believe it or not, I will burn you to ashes?"

After speaking, Qingtengye still hadn't responded, Qi Zhaoxian hugged Qingtengye tightly, and gave Nie Pan a dissatisfied look.

Nie Pan: "..."

People are not as good as grass.

Nie Pan glanced at him faintly, and after a while, sighed in a low voice, "Your personality is very similar to an old friend of mine..."

After he said a word, he didn't say a word, as if he was remembering something, Qi Zhao turned his head to look at him, the latter was silent for a long time, but didn't continue to speak, smiled, "Someone is coming."

Footsteps sounded vaguely in the distance, and while Nie Pan disappeared again, the owner of the footsteps slowly appeared in front of Qi Zhao, with a fifth-rank rattan plaque on his waist and a dark shadow flower in his arms.

Seeing Qi Zhao, he froze for a moment, as if he knew Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao looked at him with familiarity, and remembered after a while that this person had offered him an olive branch when he was in Zhiling Illusion, but he rejected it.

I vaguely remember the name is Xu Yan.

"This little friend, we meet again."

Xu Yan smiled warmly, but the shadow grass in his arms slowly gathered light. The trial was over in less than five hours, and they knew each other well what it meant for the two parties to meet at this juncture .

"Little friend, I don't want to embarrass you, you just give me half of the rattan card, okay?"

Xu Yan said.He currently holds a lot of vine and wood cards, but he is still far away from winning the championship. Those people in Wanjing City are unreasonable, so he has scruples in his heart, so he chooses a compromise method. Not too offending.

There is a world of difference between Lingzhi masters. Xu Yan felt that Qi Zhao had no reason to refuse, but he never thought about the latter but shook his head, "Senior, please."

The ivy leaves in Qi Zhao's arms were shining brightly, and Yunxu Tengmu appeared behind him, slowly bending down.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the firmness on his face, he knew that there was no room for turning around, so he stopped talking, gathered the vines around his body, and lifted them into the air, and the light of the shadow flower covered Xu Yan's hand in an instant , swooping away with the momentum of thunder.

He had also met a second-level spirit planter before, and he knew what kind of strength could make him weak without harming his life.The dark vines were getting closer and closer to Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao raised his finger, and the golden vines faced him directly.

With a bang, smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Xu Yan took a step back, feeling the coercion around him that hadn't dissipated, and was startled inwardly. This kind of momentum and coercion... are not something a second-level spiritual planter can have at all.

He didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, his expression became serious, all the spiritual energy that had been deliberately suppressed burst out at this moment, and tiny dark spots of light gradually appeared in the air.

The light and the dark belong to each other, and attract each other, the pale golden light spots in Qi Zhaozhi's sea also became agitated, enveloping his body.In an instant, warm and vigorous spiritual power surged in, and Xu Yan's eyes lit up.

Among spiritual planters, the light and dark attributes are the most difficult to practice. These two attributes hardly exist in the high-level class. Therefore, Xu Yan has never met a light-level spiritual planter of the same level as him in these years. The person in front of him Although it is only the second level, Xu Yan knows in his heart that his real strength is definitely more than that.

Everyone has secrets, Xu Yan is not interested in delving into it, but this feeling of meeting an opponent makes him excited.

The light in Xu Yan's palm ignited, "Come on, we don't need spiritual support this time, and we don't need magic charms and magic weapons. Let's have a good fight."

Qi Zhao felt the same in his heart now, and after saying hello, the vines of Yunxu Vengmu rose into the air, and the power of the palm of his hand was also divided into tiny rays of light, entwining towards Xu Yan from all around.

Bright spots of light floated around, and after Qi Zhao and Xu Yan set up a barrier around them, they no longer had any scruples. The vines of two colors, one dark and one golden, collided countless times in mid-air, and smoke and dust billowed around the two of them.

Qi Zhao was born with a peaceful temperament, and what he has learned the most in the past 20 years is forbearance. Once he tasted wantonness, he simply retracted the spiritual power thread and purely competed with spiritual power.

Knowing what he thinks, Xu Yan is also a magnanimous person, he is too lazy to make those twists and turns, it doesn't matter if his vision is blurred, he only manipulates Fujiki by feeling.

The two have similar personalities, and they are not worried about the other party's backlash. They are even more unreserved. The dazzling light in their palms wraps around the blood vines, and they attack them time and time again.

In terms of the depth of spiritual power, Qi Zhao is better than Xu Yan, but Xu Yan has been traveling around for so many years, and he is very proficient in manipulating spiritual power.

The sky is gradually dyed golden, and the sun is dimly reflecting the sycamore forest.

After half an hour, Xu Yan called to stop first, his face was a little tired, but his eyes were bright, and he lay down on the ground casually, "It's so good."

He had always given people a gentle and steady feeling before, but now he completely threw away that layer of mask, smiled easily, and said, "I lost."

Qi Zhao lay down next to him, and looked at the sky with him, "We have not decided yet."

"Why not sure?" Xu Yan said, "I know in my heart that I must be the first to be unable to hold on. If it is normal, it would be a pleasure to be exhausted, but since I have come to the trial, I still have some strength Let's go find someone else."

As he said that, he took out his vine wooden card from the Qiankun bag, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How about leaving one for me? If you don't go out, maybe you can still struggle a little bit."

Qi Zhao also laughed, and turned half of the vine-wood sign on the ground, "That's good."

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows without being pretentious, thanked him, and put away the vine wooden card, "You are from Wanjing City, where do you live? When I pass by next time, I will ask you to stand for a while." field."

"The City Lord's Mansion."

Xu Yan paused first, then gave Qi Zhao a meaningful look, "I understand."

"..." Qi Zhao was silent for a while, "I know someone, he is a food cultivator, and I think you should have a lot of conversations with him."

"That's a good relationship." Xu Yan rubbed his chin, "Then I'll look for you then, remember to introduce me."

Qi Zhao looked at him helplessly and nodded.After that, the two of them didn't speak any more, they just lay quietly and looked at the red clouds in the sky.

The surrounding wind is very light and a little cold.

After the golden edge of the sky was vaguely covered with darkness, Xu Yan stood up, "Okay, the trial will end in less than two hours, I will struggle again, it won't be in vain, see you later."

"See you later." Qi Zhao said.

Xu Yan smiled at him and cupped his hands, picked up the shadow flower and turned around, the figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the bushes.After he left, Qi Zhao took out the rattan and wooden cards and counted them, it was nearly six hundred, and he felt that it was basically stable.

"Xiao Jiu, is that enough now?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu checked the number of vine and wooden cards of all the people on Cangwu Mountain.

[Enough, it's not easy, you've finally achieved something, what should I do, I actually want to cry. 】

Qi Zhao didn't respond, and then asked, "How about Yuan Qi and Qin Yu?"

【Not bad. 】

"...Where's Ikeki?"

Xiao Jiu's voice disappeared for a long time before she opened her mouth: 【He has left Cangwu Mountain. 】

If you leave before the trial is over, you will either be out of the game, or you will quit voluntarily.Chi Mu is a person favored by heaven, so he will definitely not be out, but what is the reason for quitting?

Phoenix City Trial is not mentioned here in "The First Birth of the Great Dao". Qi Zhao doesn't know what Chi Mu experienced here in the original text. Afterwards, he suddenly lost control and encountered nightmares at night. After parting ways, he directly ran into a monster with the shadow pattern of the phoenix.

Later, Chi Mu withdrew from the trial by himself.

Qi Zhao didn't believe in coincidences, and he felt that Xiao Jiu's attitude towards Chi Mu was a bit strange.Xiao Jiu came to him to recast the world line. Logically speaking, as the protagonist, Chi Mu should be an important line, but Xiao Jiu seemed to be avoiding him all the time.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhao stretched out his hand and poked the mint green pattern on his wrist, "Xiao Jiu, why do I feel that your attitude towards Chi Mu is not right?"

Xiao Jiu's voice faltered, pretending to be light and said: [Is there any? 】

Qi Zhao narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Jiu hesitated immediately, hesitated for a while, her voice was filled with embarrassment: [Qi Zhaozhao, there are some things I can't say, the world line has now reached two-sevenths, and one day the truth behind it will come to light, so don't ask , okay? 】

At the end of the sentence, it has already tainted the meaning of pleading.

Qi Zhao was silent for a while, "You just need to tell me, does the subversion of the Floating Life Realm have anything to do with Chi Mu?"

Xiao Jiu was silent.

Qi Zhao poked it again, seeing that it still didn't respond, knowing that it was useless to continue asking, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.

There was wind around him, and Nie Pan reappeared next to him, "I think you have enough vines and wooden cards, you should be sure to win the championship, and Mr. Wei is not a harsh person. As for being so flustered that you poke your wrist?"

Qi Zhao sighed quietly.

Nie Pan raised the tail of his eyes slightly, and continued, "Compared to this, I think you should be more worried about this. What would happen if Xie Shen, who is narrow-minded, found out that you were lying with someone else just now?"

Qi Zhao: "..."

He tilted his head, "Listen to you, why do I feel that you want to sue?"

"Your feeling is correct." Nie Pan smiled slightly, "Think about the expression that may appear on Xie Shen's face at that time, um, exciting."

Qi Zhao was expressionless.

Nie Pan smiled, "Okay, just kidding, what are you going to do now, are you going to sit here and wait for the trial to end, or look around?"

Qi Zhao felt a little bored, and stood up: "Let's go."

He found a random path, and the surroundings were very quiet. It was only an hour and a half before the end of the time, and the situation was basically settled. Those who came out were those with high ranks, and those who were lucky had already hid.

So Qi Zhao went all the way, and he didn't meet anyone, and if he met by chance, he had already been ransacked by Xu Yan.

Time passed slowly, and the last light in the sky was covered by the thick night.

The bell rang in the valley. After the bell, light spots gradually gathered above the valley. Qi Zhao hugged the ivy leaves and closed his eyes. After a while, he swayed and opened his eyes again. He had already arrived in the Temple of Planting Spirits. .

The people from Zhiling Hall came up to take back the kit with the rattan and wooden plaques and counted them. Qi Zhao waited and looked around. He didn't see Nie Pan, but he saw Yuan Qi and Qin Yu who were also looking around constantly, and left. Passed over, "Looking for me?"

He suddenly made a sound, which startled Yuan Qi. When he turned around and saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally found you, how are you?"

Qi Zhao told him the number of vine wood cards he had collected, and Yuan Qi nodded, "Yes, I have already foreseen how I will be rejected by the teacher in the future."

Qin Wan nodded at the edge.

"So..." Yuan Qi turned to look at Qi Zhao, "I think you must treat us to a good meal."

"Yes, it must."

Qi Zhao smiled, "Okay, eat as you please."

Motozaki hummed in satisfaction, and at this time the points ranking of the trial also came out, and white characters slowly emerged on the black wall on the left.

Everyone was the first to see the name on the top and the order with a smaller font size next to it.

[Qi Zhao, second rank].

The surroundings became noisy almost immediately.

"Second-level spirit planter? Are you kidding me?"

"Qi Zhao's name is a bit familiar. I remember it was Wanjing City? This is Phoenix City, and Xie Shen seems to be in charge of Wanjing City. Tsk, there's nothing going on behind this, right?"

"There must be something. I don't know how many spirit planters are higher than him in the trial. How can it be his turn to win the championship? No, this matter must be explained clearly."

"that is!"

The voices of the people were boiling and could not be stopped.

The Great Elder of Planting Spirit Hall just watched without saying a word to stop them. After talking for a long time, these people didn't get a response. They all looked over and said, "Great Elder, you will not bully people like this in Phoenix City Planting Spirit Hall, right?"

After the words fell, the Great Elder smiled, but did not speak, but another voice rang out from behind.

"Come on, let me hear it, what kind of bullying method is it?"

The author has something to say: City Lord Xie: "My Qi Zhaozhao has been questioned, hurry up, I want to show up!"

Teng Snake Shenmu: "Brother, don't worry, I haven't been hugged by Qi Zhaozhao for a long time, and I am also in a hurry."
