Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

After a while of flying around and almost knocking down the roof of Qingling's house, several people were exhausted and finally started to do business.

Sijun and Lu Xiang were sitting on the top pavilion drinking the tea made by Qingling, while Xingyuan was basking in the sun, Qingling shook off Lu Xiaoji and forbade him to hold her leg, but Lu Xiaoji still got to squat Playing with his feathered treats around his legs.

Qingling was exhausted, and said slowly: "I have told you almost everything I know about the underground gambling houses."

Lu Xiang asked: "Where is Wen Renyi? After leaving Juling Mountain Villa that day, where did he go? Did he go back to the underground gambling house? Have you ever had contact with anyone from the gambling house?"

Qingling's red pupils flickered, and she continued: "He has never been in contact with anyone, and he disappeared when he arrived in Yucheng."

"What does disappearing mean?" Lu Xiang opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is he dead?"

Qingling shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, I didn't see him in contact with anyone, anyway, he just disappeared out of thin air."

Lu Xiang frowned and said: "This is too strange... Even if someone murdered, there is still a corpse."

Xing Yuan said: "That's right, the monster will spit out two bones after eating it, right?"

Qingling roared dissatisfied: "Are you questioning me? No, no! No body, no bones, he just disappeared!

Lu Xiang thought for a while, then pretended to stare at Sijun and said, "This is sure that there is something weird around Yucheng, maybe the underground gambling house is nearby... But Yucheng should be big, right? I don't know what the situation is?"

Sijun said: "I haven't been there. I just heard that Yucheng is a big city where people and monsters live together. It's very chaotic inside. It's not far from the Ming clan in Qishan and the Qin clan in Zizhou."

"Huh." Lu Xiang rubbed his chin and said, "Qishan Ming family and Zizhou Qin family are four big families... no... now they are three big families. Yucheng is among these two big families, why is it still there?" Messy?"

Qingling said: "The two don't care about the area. A long time ago, there was a small family in Yucheng, the Shen family. He didn't even want to talk to him, but he was happy on his own. He made himself king in Yucheng, and attracted many unattended monster clans there, and the place became more and more chaotic. The Shen family also suffered from the consequences, and couldn't control these things. The demons and ghosts, who wiped out the whole clan, Yucheng has become a lawless place that no one cares about, and it is getting more and more chaotic. However, the people or monsters in Yucheng also have self-knowledge, and they only dare to make trouble in that city If they don’t come out to make trouble, there will be no one to clean them up. This state... has been going on for almost 20 years.”

Lu Xiang asked, "Is there a casino inside?"

"It's not just a casino?" Qingling's eyes were full of sympathy for Lu Xiang who had never seen the world, and he continued, "Alcohol, beauties, casinos, and all kinds of spiritual artifacts that are forbidden to be bought and sold are sold. What evil is there? There is no control anywhere. Drunk life, dreaming and dying, singing and dancing, if you want to pursue the bliss of the world, that is the best place to go."

Lu Xiang couldn't help feeling: "Wow~"

Sijun raised his hand and knocked on Lu Xiang's forehead, reminding him not to try to be bad, Lu Xiang pursed his lips, feeling a little disappointed, but continued to talk about business: "Then let's sort out our thinking...it's like this, underground The people in the gambling house must have stalkers in Yucheng, as long as we behave like fools and rich people, we may be spotted and pulled into the underground gambling house, but we need to create a false identity, otherwise it will be easy to be recognized..."

Xing Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not enough to just fabricate your identity. The news spreads quickly in Yu City. The characteristics of the two of you must have been spread. It is very likely that you will be recognized when you enter."

"Ah?" Lu Xiang held his face and said, "Is it okay to use Lu Xiaogu's illusion to change our appearance?"

Xingyuan continued to shake his head: "There are a lot of powerful demons and celestial masters inside, but using illusion is trying to cover up."

Lu Xiang was a little embarrassed: "Difficult...what should I do?"

Xingyuan smiled triumphantly, and continued: "At this time, it is time to use the wisdom of our ordinary people. Have you heard of folk magic—disguise."

As soon as Lu Xiang heard the word Yi Rong, he became excited, and quickly said: "I read Yi Rong in the story book, and it said that you can change your head with bare hands. Is this true?"

Xingyuan said: "The story is too exaggerated, and the disguise technique is not that magical, it's just makeup. To cover up a person's original characteristics and highlight other characteristics, the person who disguises himself has to cooperate with the show. Capability is real."

"Ah, I want to try, I want to try!" Lu Xiang quickly raised his hand, full of interest, "How can I cover up my characteristics to become another person?"

"It's too difficult. You are so popular when you hear people come out, maybe someone in Yucheng knows you." Xingyuan looked Lu Xiang from the beginning to the end, and said very seriously, "You have become another person. It's useless, you can only change your gender."

Lu Xiang: ...

farewell!City people are really scary!

However, after a stick of incense, the helpless Lu Xiang went into the house obediently and let Xingyuan play tricks on his face.

Xingyuan used long flower roots to draw Lu Xiang's eyebrows, lips and hair in a bun. After finishing, he gave Lu Xiang a water-green chest-length skirt for him to change into.

Lu Xiang couldn't see the appearance clearly in the bronze mirror. In addition, the light gauze dress was very complicated. Lu Xiang couldn't tell the difference between the head and the tail. After walking around for a long time, he almost got his hands entangled, and was immediately annoyed. , complained dissatisfiedly: "Xiaohua, is there something wrong with you? Why do you still wear a girl's skirt when you go out to walk in the rivers and lakes!"

"Bah, bah, what do you know?" Xingyuan quickly rolled his eyes at Lu Xiang, and said, "An outstanding disguiser, of course, must have all the equipment, if you slander me again, I'll make you a maternity dress, believe it or not! "

Lu Xiang was so blocked that he had nothing to say, and angrily drove Xingyuan out of the room, then struggled painfully, wrestling with the long skirt, trying to put it on correctly.

Compared with Lu Xiang's hustle and bustle inside the room, the atmosphere outside the room can be said to be dignified.

After Lu Xiang entered the door, Sijun kept silent. Once he did not speak, it seemed that the air became much colder. Even Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaogu didn't dare to make a fuss too loudly, they were well-behaved and honest.

Qingling and Xingyuan gathered together, muttering softly.

Qingling pointed at Sijun secretly, and asked, "Why is he so serious?"

"Be nervous." Xingyuan smiled mysteriously, and continued, "His current situation is similar to waiting to lift the bride's hijab. Of course, he is looking forward to it and nervous. We must be considerate and give full understanding."

Qing Ling understood, and immediately gave Xing Yuan a high five.

Then Lu Xiang's voice finally came from the room. He was a little panicked and said anxiously: "I...it seems that I haven't done it well...it's a bit strange...don't laugh at me..."

Xingyuan hurriedly said: "How could it be strange! You are mocking my skills! Come out quickly!"

It was quiet inside for a while, and the door was finally pushed open with a "creak". A white hibiscus flower embroidered shoe stepped out of the door hesitantly, and then a lotus-colored gauze dress followed the wind. Fei Wu, Lu Xiang in women's clothing appeared in front of everyone.

The face is still the same, and there is no disguise, but it seems to be a different person.

She combed her hair in a bun, hooked Yuanshandai, printed peach blossoms between her eyebrows, and put butterfly makeup on her lips.

Lu Xiang was originally born very well, and when he dressed up as a woman, he looked like a coveted beauty.

It's just that this little beauty doesn't know how to wear skirts, and he wears a good skirt upside down, half of her round and white shoulders are still exposed, not to mention the messy bun, and the butterfly makeup on her lips accidentally smeared onto her cheeks.

Coupled with his aggrieved expression, it seemed as if he had been ruined.This looks really... very bad!Even if Deng Tuzi sees him, he still wants to spoil him once.

Crowd:! ! !

When Lu Xiang saw everyone's eyes, he panicked even more. He froze on the spot, and before he could ask "how", then a black shadow flashed by, Lu Xiang's eyes went dark, and he felt that he was covered with a black cloth Covered.

Sijun's slightly rapid breathing came from the top of his head, and it was only then that Lu Xiang realized that Sijun's coat was covering him.

Then Sijun spoke in a rather stern voice: "Go change it!"

Before Lu Xiang could respond, Sijun pushed him into the room, and heard the door slam shut again.

Lu Xiang shivered in fright, paused for a while before tearing off the black clothes from his head, and then became irritable.

God, Sijun is so fierce!Definitely think I'm a pervert!Ah ah ah I'm dead Sijun hates me!Xiaohua, what a bad idea!What broken technology!So angry!Why should I agree!Am I crazy!I don't want to see anyone anymore!

Lu Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears, he quickly changed his clothes and washed his face while roaring in his heart.After doing all this, I was anxious for a long time in the room before slowly calming down, and then I became depressed again, and I didn't want to go out to face Sijun at all.

Xingyuan's voice came from outside the house: "You bound your feet inside? Why don't you come out? Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you!"

Lu Xiang really had no choice but to stretch out his head or shrink his head, and finally opened the door and walked out, and then kept his head down, not daring to look at Sijun.

He was afraid that Sijun would look at him with weird eyes.

But Sijun didn't make a sound.

Xingyuan waved his hand and said to Lu Xiang: "Come here, we've almost made the plan. You have to act like a young lady, and Sijun will act as your bodyguard."

Lu Xiang walked over and said in amazement: "Isn't it impossible? Why did you discuss it behind my back?"

Qingling said: "Who said it can't be done? We all think it's very good, and Sijun is even dressed up."

Lu Xiang carefully turned his head to look at Sijun, only to find that he had changed into a gray coarse cloth bunt, and wore a human-leather mask on his face, covering up his originally overly handsome and outstanding facial features. It looks like an ordinary guard.

Xing Yuan said triumphantly: "This leather mask is a high-end product. I made it myself. After wearing it, I can keep it on for a month without taking it off, and no one will find it."

"You..." Lu Xiang looked at Sijun nervously and asked, "You agree to dress like this?"

Sijun turned to look at Lu Xiang, and nodded slightly.

Lu Xiang was very depressed immediately: If that's the case, why did you attack me just now?

A man who doesn't like to talk is really too difficult to serve!

Here, Lu Xiang was sulking, while over there they were discussing in full swing, and soon they made up a very credible identity for Lu Xiang, which was enough to attract attention-the unknown illegitimate daughter of a big family, who was both vicious and vicious. And capricious, stole the treasures of the family and came out to roam the rivers and lakes, with only a heartfelt guard by his side.

Lu Xiang and the others want to lure out the "master" that the masked man said before, so they have to brag about their bait treasure to the sky, almost to the same height as that sword.

It is not difficult to disguise a powerful spiritual weapon, as long as it is held in Sijun's hands, any ordinary spiritual weapon can become a magic weapon.

It is rare for this legend to spread throughout the world in a short period of time.

It has been a long time since there have been any legends about spirit weapons in the Jianghu, and now it is hard to convince people to brag about a new spirit weapon inexplicably, so Xingyuan proposed to ask Qingling to help carry private goods in next month's Skyrim Book and fabricate a spirit weapon. Device legend.

Qingling shook her head again and again, and said: "This is not acceptable. Once Tianji Pavilion sends out false information, it will lose the capital to gain a foothold in the Jianghu. I can't do that!"

"Understood." Xingyuan patted Qingling's shoulder very considerately, then turned to look at Lu Xiang, and said, "Take the bank note."

Lu Xiang pulled out a stack of bank notes and put them in front of him, Qing Ling's eyes immediately lit up, Lu Xiang slowly took one up, and placed it in front of Qing Ling, Qing Ling trembled all over, and said: "I cannot."

Sijun moved his wrist suddenly, the movement was full of threats.

Qing Ling: ...

Is there any justice for this dead Longyang?Bully demon!One threat and one temptation, it's going to kill me!

Qing Ling's teeth were almost gnawed, so she held on and did not let go.

Lu Xiang remained silent, held Sijun's hand with one hand, and then slowly picked up one and put it over, Qingling continued to grit his teeth, and Lu Xiang continued to take it.

Seeing more and more stacks of bank notes in front of her, Qing Ling became more and more difficult to breathe.

Xingyuan slowly made up the knife: "Pavilion Master, did you see, there are so many bank notes, if you don't take them, you will lose them!"

"I can't!" Qingling pounced up and grabbed the bank note, and said loudly, "I can't, but Shen Yunrou can!"

When the name Shen Yunrou came out, Lu Xiang immediately clapped his hands and applauded, saying: "Wow, why didn't I think of it? The master of Qingling Pavilion is really witty! The news spread by Shen Yunrou is more imaginative than the secret. It just happened , the next time "Looking for the Sword" is released, I can write this story!"

Qingling hugged the silver ticket in her arms, and finally came back to life, and then said slowly: "Yes, the story of "Looking for the Sword" is about the protagonist looking for a kind of magic weapon called 'Broken Wind'. Shi, wants to forge a sword that surpasses Ji Nanhong's No. [-] sword in the world, and the protagonist who just wrote in the previous volume has found Pofeng and is currently forging a sword."

"It's wonderful!" Lu Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Then the next update will just write that the protagonist forged a peerless sword, which was captured by a big family by chance. But for this family The illegitimate daughter who had always harbored resentment hurt her father again, stole the sword, and ran away with her own guards. The story can be written here, and the rest will be left to people in Jianghu to guess slowly."

Qing Ling held the bank note happily, and said, "If there's no problem, you can decide."

Lu Xiang thought for a while, and then said: "I need to make one more addition, so that no one will be tempted to grab it. Hmm... the sword that was forged recognized the illegitimate daughter as the main one by chance, unless she was willing to give it away or give it away. Lose the bet, otherwise the sword will not be effective if given to someone else."

Qingling continued to hold the bank note, and said: "Yes, Shen Yunrou will definitely write something soul-stirring and authentic!

Lu Xiang held his face and said in a slightly low voice: "I know Lord Shen Yunrou is great, but I'm such a bad guy who smells like copper. I used money to interfere with Master Shen Yunrou's creation! When this incident is over, I must apologize to Master Shen Yunrou, and hope that she can continue to create her favorite stories without being disturbed."

Qingling continued to indulge in the banknotes, and he agreed to whatever Lu Xiang said.

So the plan was made like this, and then Lu Xiang and his party lingered in Tianji Pavilion for a few days, and spent money to buy a sword called "Crown Jade" from Qingling.

This sword is very ostentatious, the hilt and scabbard are full of gaudy gems, Sijun took it and tried it, and knocked down half of the courtyard of Tianji Pavilion.

Qingling looked at the remaining half of the yard crying with heartache, and said solemnly: Okay, this is enough to pretend, get out of here quickly!

So, on the day when the new volume of "Looking for the Sword" was released, Lu Xiang and his party finally let Qingling go, left Tianji Pavilion, and went to Yucheng.

But it will take some days for the story to spread to the world. They slowed down their schedule again and played along the way.

Not long after, I received a letter from Ming Zizhen, saying that Wenren Feihong had buried his father and his mother was coming out of grief.Recently, no one went to Juling Mountain Villa to make troubles. He scattered all his wealth, but he got real relief.So Ming Zi really left Juling Mountain Villa, and is rushing back to Qishan. If they are free, they hope to get together in Qishan.

After reading the letter, Lu Xiang asked other people for their opinions, whether they should stop by Qishan for a visit.

Xingyuan said: "Anyway, to go to Yucheng, you have to pass through Qishan Mountain, so it's okay to go there for a while. We're not in a hurry, so we can stay for half a month without any problem."

Naturally, Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaogu didn't have any opinions, except for "chirp" and "Gugu" expressing their support for Lu Xiang, they didn't have any opinions.

Lu Xiang looked at Sijun again.

Sijun kept his cold face as usual, and after a long silence, he said, "Why do you want to see Ming Zizhen so much?"

Lu Xiangdao: "He is very good, very brave, and very kind. When Wenren Feihong used a hidden weapon to harm me before, he blocked it for me. I like him very much."

"You..." Sijun stared at Lu Xiang, and only said one word.

Lu Xiang blinked and waited for Sijun to continue, but Sijun didn't say anything else. He frowned slightly, and then strode forward, quickly leaving Lu Xiang behind.

Sijun frowned!

For such a person with no expression, that frown can be said to be quite serious!It means that he is really angry with Lu Xiang!

Lu Xiang was like a bolt from the blue, and broke down and said: "I knew it! It was the problem of wearing a skirt that day. He really thought I was a pervert!"

"Cub, Dad is very disappointed in you." Xingyuan tugged at Lu Xiang's hair helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Why are you so clueless? He obviously likes you, you big fool, you don't care about everything." don't know."

Lu Xiang said violently: "How could he like it! He beat me that day, and today he beat me again! You don't understand!"

Xingyuan said loudly: "I have lived for 100 years, you, a poor kid who just took off his crotch pants, dare to question me!"

Lu Xiang immediately retorted: "Even if you live for 100 years, you will know nothing about chrysanthemums eating mud for the first 80 years!"

"You're the only one who eats mud! I'm absorbing the aura of heaven and earth!" Xing Yuan said angrily, "You were so cowardly when I first met you, and you talked in a low voice. It's that wild man Sijun who spoiled you!"

Then Lu Xiang was also angry, and the two began to fight each other again, until Lu Xiaoji separated them again with brute force, and then one of them got a "chirp" lesson.

Later, Lu Xiaoji took Xingyuan to his head. In short, Lu Xiang and Xingyuan will not reconcile in a short time.

The group of people were not happy, they didn't speak to each other, but they had a surprisingly tacit understanding, hired a carriage on the way, and walked out of Sichuan in a few days, and were about to reach Qishan.

But the quarrel was not over yet, at the foot of Qishan Mountain, the three quarrelsome people dispersed, wandered around each other, and after an hour, they very consciously returned to their respective places.

Lu Xiang bought some candies and gadgets he hadn't seen before, and Sijun and Xingyuan should have bought a lot of things too, but no one said a word, and continued to be strangely silent, and went to Ming's to visit.

After walking for a while, Lu Xiang took the other three back into the Qiankun bag, making the relationship between them more quiet. Lu Xiang really couldn't bear such silence, and was worried that Sijun would show his face when he arrived at Ming Zizhen's house. After hesitating for a long time , finally moved to Sijun's side, and tugged on Rasijun's sleeve slightly flatteringly.

Sijun gave Lu Xiang a faint look.

Lu Xiang smiled obediently, and then said, "Let's not be angry, shall we? Otherwise, when we arrive at Mr. Ming's house, won't we let outsiders see the joke?"

Sijun suddenly stood still and looked at Lu Xiang steadily.

Lu Xiang touched his face nervously and said, "What's wrong?"

Sijun said, "Didn't you say you like Ming Zizhen?"

"Yes, I really like Mr. Ming." Lu Xiang said strangely, "Although I am an outsider, I can still like him. He is a friend worth making. What's wrong?"

Sijun's eyes flickered suddenly, but he still didn't speak, and soon continued walking.

Lu Xiang really didn't know what to do, he shook Sijun's sleeves as if he was cheating on him, and kept chanting in his mouth until his mouth was almost broken, Sijun finally had a little reaction and spit out a word lightly :"good."

"Aren't you angry?" Lu Xiang looked at Sijun's bewildered and calmed face, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, what was he thinking?

Regardless of Lu Xiang's doubts, Sijun walked for a while, and saw someone driving a carriage in the middle of the road ahead, and Sijun naturally grabbed Lu Xiang's shoulders and protected him behind him.

So are you really not angry?

Lu Xiang heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately felt very relaxed, happily holding Sijun's arm, and made up his mind not to quarrel with him again.

Because this quiet person is really hard to coax.
