Early the next morning, Qi Wuyou tried to find out what Sect Master Long said.
The two drank tea in the hall where they used the spiritual meal the day before yesterday.
There is an incense burner on the table, and the smoke is curling up from the stove.
Qi Wuyou rolled up his sleeves and took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, put down his teacup and praised: "Good tea, senior is good at craftsmanship."
Sect Master Long said: "Lan Fang-jun, as long as he likes it."
Qi Wuyou said: "Senior is indeed a rare all-rounder in today's world of cultivating immortals. Yesterday, junior saw the disciples in the sect distributing Qi Gathering Pills, so I knew that senior is also a master of alchemy. It is really admirable."
Sect Master Long said with a smile: "Mr. Lan Fang praised it absurdly. It is difficult to enter the realm of immortality. Just delve into some trivial matters and chat for comfort."
"Senior, don't be self-effacing. If your alchemy is regarded as an idle matter, I am afraid that there are not many people in the entire world of cultivating immortals who are not idle."
Qi Wuyouyou made Sect Master Long hypnotize, but he kept spinning on alchemy.
Asking questions, and every time the conversation is about to get to the point, he shows a hesitant appearance and drags the topic away.
Sect Master Long skillfully cooked tea, and was praised by Qi Wuyou for a long time, but he was not seen to be attractive, and he was always flat, like an old man with a modest heart.
After a while, he simply raised his eyes and said, "Mr. Lan Fang may as well speak up if you have something to say."
Qi Wuyou feigned embarrassment, and said: "Younger...just one thing I don't understand."
Sect Master Long nodded: "Let's listen."
Qi Wuyou put down his teacup, and said seriously: "Yesterday, this junior investigated the sect and found that the aura of the Longyin sect had dissipated, but it wasn't nothing.
"With the assistance of senior's high-grade Qi Gathering Pill when condensing Qi, it should be able to match the speed of condensing Qi of some small sects. But this junior saw the disciples of the sect yesterday, it seems..."
it is more than words.
He frowned to express his confusion.
Sect Master Long looked at him for a long time, sighed, shook his head and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr. Lan Fang's eyes."
"?"
Sect Master Long seemed to have known that he would ask this question, and said, "Mr. Lan Fang, do you feel that the spiritual energy in the disciples of the sect is different from the spiritual energy condensed from daily practice?"
Qi Wuyou said: "Senior has a good plan, this junior thinks exactly like that."
"Count? I don't count."
Sect Master Long smiled, scooped out a teaspoon of tea from the pot with a teaspoon, poured it into the teacup in front of him, put down the teaspoon, raised his wrinkled eyelids, and said: "The white mist formation outside Longyinzong, Mr. Lan Fang Who do you think is supporting it?"
what.
Qi Wuyou blissed to his heart: "Senior said..."
"The white mist formation must not be broken. The day the formation is broken may be the time when the Longyin Sect will be destroyed."
Sect Master Long said: "But with my own strength, how can I withstand the exhaustion of the Great Formation?"
"So, the seniors used the power of the ancestors to support the big formation?"
Sect Master Long seemed to have spit out a long-buried heart, and tears were about to flow out of his eyes, which were yellowish from the reflection of brown eyes.
He said: "The sect is overthrown, and there is no end. My former suzerain has done all the bad things. I am afraid that I will return to heaven and earth in the future, and I will have no face to see my teacher."
Qi Wuyou: "..."
No wonder the cloud energy and the white mist have the same origin, they are all condensed from the spiritual energy of the disciples of the sect.
After maintaining such a big formation for 15 years, it is reasonable for Goatee and the others to be weak.
But these disciples seem to have no idea that they are using spiritual power to support the formation.
They just thought it was because their innate talent was too poor and the speed of condensing Qi was too slow, but they didn't know that under the confusion of the clouds, more than half of the spiritual energy they perceived was empty, and it had been cut away by the white mist formation long ago.
Qi Wuyou said: "Senior is also thinking about the sect, presumably both ancestors and disciples can understand the good intentions of senior."
Sect Master Long did not report much hope for this, and said with a wry smile: "I hope so."
On the way back from the main hall, Qi Wuyou was thinking over Sect Master Long's words over and over again.
According to Sect Master Long, it really makes sense before and after.
A phantom formation of the size of the white mist formation cannot be supported by one person.
But he still felt something was wrong.
If causal rhetoric can be self-consistent, it can only be a problem with people.
When Qi Wuyou recalled Sect Master Long's appearance, the first thing that popped into his mind were those eyes.
When he first met Sect Master Long, he thought those eyes were weird.
If the tear-like secretions in the eye sockets were brushed away, it seemed to be a bit like the vertical pupils of a beast, and they were beast pupils in their prime, which didn't match his current body very well.
Qi Wuyou suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the main hall—there must still be strange things in the Longyin Sect.
He has no intention of mixing with other people's sect secrets, and characters who are too curious generally don't live long.
Yesterday he wandered around the Longyin Sect for a whole day, in fact, to find Nangong Li, since it was confirmed that Nangong Li was not there, the immediate goal was to heal Luo Yunzhang's eyes and bring him out of here.
He didn't know how many times he had seen similar plots in various genres—the big villain didn't want to kill the little white rabbit, but the little white rabbit strayed into the villain's base camp and discovered the villain's secret, and the villain had to kill the little white rabbit.
Long Yinzong will be handed over to the adult male protagonist to clean up.
He walked away quickly, just like a fool who didn't know anything, so as not to find out things that shouldn't be checked and fall into the quagmire.
Having made up his mind, Qi Wuyou started paddling in the next two days.
If you just put on a show every day, you will return in vain.
Goat Hu kept his word, and on the second day of distribution, he brought two bottles of elixirs, and the configuration of elixirs in the bottles was the same as that of other disciples of the sect.
To prevent Sect Master Long from tampering, they did not touch the two bottles of pills, and relied on themselves to condense their energy every day to deal with emergencies.
The speed is a bit slower, but it is also approaching Quansheng step by step.
The white mist array harvests spiritual energy every other night. "Fang Wai's Eye" is Qi Wuyou's hole card. He didn't intend to show it so early. When the white mist array harvested for the second time, he and Luo Yunzhang pretended to be Ignorant and unaware, he gave up [-]% of his aura.
Two days later, Luo Yunzhang could already see things, but it was still a little blurry.
This was a good signal—no matter what Long Yinzong was secretly planning, Sect Master Long didn't want to confront him head-on.
The elixir to treat eye diseases is not only no problem, but also has obvious effects, which shows that Long Zongzhu also wants to use the sequential curative effect to delay time and stabilize them temporarily.
What is not optimistic is that Sect Master Long doesn't need a long time, because the effect of the elixir is so good that it is beyond Qi Wuyou's expectation.
It is equivalent to saying that Sect Master Long is sure to achieve his goal during this period of time.
If there is no accident, when Luo Yunzhang's eyes are almost recovered, the purpose of Sect Master Long's forcing them to stay here will surface.
On the fifth day after entering Long Yinzong, Luo Yunzhang only had a thin layer of white gauze in front of his eyes. After refining the elixir tonight, it will be as good as before.
When Luo Yunzhang poured a pill from the jade bottle, Qi Wuyou was looking at the moon at the window.
For some reason, he was very restless tonight, always feeling that something was happening quietly.
Thinking of Sect Master Long's yellow eyes filled with tears, he unconsciously pressed his hand on the window lattice, tightened his fingers, and forced himself not to think about it.
There were patterns carved on the window lattice, and his thumbs caressed those patterns unconsciously. When the pads of his fingers brushed between the bumps, a black line stretched out in his mind, twisting and twisting, like a snake crawling on the ground.
After he realized what he was thinking, he pulled his consciousness away in surprise and looked down at the lines where the black lines crawled out. The more he looked, the more he felt that the patterns formed by the black lines were related to the hidden worry in his heart just now.
But he couldn't figure it out, as if a sentence came to his mouth and he couldn't utter it. He pinched his forehead and rubbed his forehead lightly, trying to push out the thought that was lingering in his heart through physical stimulation.
"Does Master have a headache?"
Just as Luo Yunzhang brought the pill to his mouth, he suddenly saw Qi Wuyou raised his hand and pinched his forehead, paused, and asked.
Qi Wuyou turned back and said: "It's nothing, you refine yours."
Luo Yunzhang put the pill into his mouth as he said.
The moment Qi Wuyou withdrew his gaze, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the black, textured elixir sticking to Luo Yunzhang's lips.
A flash of lightning struck through the pitch-black forest, illuminating every blade of grass——
Elixir!
Qi Wuyou said: "Wait a minute!"
Luo Yunzhang was startled and froze in place.
Qi Wuyou stepped forward quickly, took the elixir from his hand, and inadvertently rubbed Luo Yunzhang's lips with his fingertips.
Luo Yunzhang dodged back abruptly, the area that was brushed became hot, he stood still for two or three seconds, pursed his lips, and bit there.
Qi Wuyou didn't pay attention to Luo Yunzhang's reaction, took the elixir from his hand and walked to the candlelight to watch.
Luo Yunzhang had inspected each of the elixirs, and as usual, this one was also a high-grade elixir with medicinal lines.
After getting the Qi Gathering Pill from the goatee, he recalled the momentary inspiration from the day before, and poured out the high-grade pills from the two jade bottles for inspection.
The medicine pattern seems to have a mystery, but it looks like an ordinary pattern at a close look, just as he wanted to calm things down, so he didn't continue to study.
Just now he had a flash of inspiration, and unintentionally spread out the medicine patterns all over the pill, only to find that the ridge marks on the periphery of the pill are not just simple medicine patterns, but more like array patterns!
At this time, Luo Yunzhang also realized that there seemed to be a problem with the elixir, so he waited quietly without making a sound, so as not to disturb the master's thinking.
Qi Wuyou was standing under the candlelight at this time, his black hair was dyed halo, and the fingers holding the elixir were also reflected white and translucent.
Luo Yunzhang remembered the touch of the master's fingers, like ivory, like cold jade, so perfect... It makes people want to touch it, but also worry about profanity.
The male protagonist's thoughts are entwined in his heart, and Qi Wuyou's "snake" walks in the sea of consciousness.
He frowned, and simply sat down in front of the table in the room, took off the brush from the pen holder, and grinded the records.
After a while, the complex lines on the elixir were transcribed on the paper.
Stand back and watch, it is a complete anonymous language array that has been encrypted several times!
"Anonymous language" means to hide words, which is equivalent to a kind of encryption method. Those who set up the array can express what they want to say with interlaced array patterns. If they want to decipher it, they must untie the anonymous language array.
Goat nonsense that the pills are all from the hands of Sect Master Long.
What does Sect Master Long have to say that he can't say in person, but has to hide in the hidden language array and wait for someone to find out?
Qi Wuyou's heart was surging, and he was about to put the pill aside, planning to transcribe all the formation patterns on the other two high-grade Qi Gathering Pills and dissolve them together.
Suddenly remembering that Luo Yunzhang had to refine tonight, he waved to Luo Yunzhang.
Luo Yunzhang pursed his lips, walked to the case a little nervously, bowed his head under Qi Wuyou's gesture.
"Open your mouth."
Luo Yunzhang's pupils dilated slightly, but he didn't react.
Qi Wuyou didn't bother to say any more, and directly pushed the pill between Luo Yunzhang's lips.
Luo Yunzhang opened his mouth in a daze, and the entrance of the pill turned into liquid medicine and slipped into his throat.
"Okay, good boy, let's go meditate and refine."
Without paying attention, Qi Wuyou's tone appeared when he was talking to a boy of this age in the world outside the book.
But he had something on his mind, so he didn't care, so he turned around and went to work on his own.
After a while, realizing that Luo Yunzhang hadn't left yet, he raised his head and wondered, "Not yet?"
Luo Yunzhang came back to his senses all of a sudden, said "yes", then turned and walked towards the bed.
At the beginning of the meditation, that word kept echoing in his mind.
Master seems to have said this to Senior Brother Yan, it is the first time that he is so intimate with him.
The two drank tea in the hall where they used the spiritual meal the day before yesterday.
There is an incense burner on the table, and the smoke is curling up from the stove.
Qi Wuyou rolled up his sleeves and took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, put down his teacup and praised: "Good tea, senior is good at craftsmanship."
