Pawn Crossing the River

Arriving at Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei visited Pei Xiaolou.

In terms of relatives, Pei Xiaolou is the cousin of Yao Pei's mother, that is, Yao Pei's uncle. In terms of inheritance, Pei Xiaolou is Yao Pei's uncle.

No matter how you calculate it, the relationship between the two is very close.

Pei Xiaolou was a little surprised by the arrival of the two people. He didn't know that Yao Pei went to Wanxiang Taoist Palace for further study. It was only then that he knew that Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei were classmates.

Qi Xuansu suddenly discovered something. If we talk about Yao Pei, he is actually the same generation as Pei Xiaolou. He is a master uncle and a cousin, both are uncles. If we talk about Yao Pei's mother, he would still call her sister-in-law.

It's a pity that Taoist sects generally don't pay attention to this. There is a special set of seniority within the Taoist sect. Even if Li Changge, who has a high seniority, enters the Taoist sect, he has to calculate the juniors of Wei Zhenren according to the Taoist sect's seniority. Therefore, Qi Xuansu cannot directly call Pei Xiaolou "Second Brother Pei". As for "Brother Pei", of course it is Pei Xuanzhi, the real person of Donghua.

Pei Xiaolou knew Qi Xuansu's intention, and took the two of them to Yuzhen Temple to visit Xu Xiaoying.

Both Xu Xiaoying and Pei Xiaolou knew Qi Xuansu's intention to come here. However, after meeting, the three of them never mentioned anything about Yue Liuli. They just chatted and talked about the Wanxiang Dao Palace. After all, Qi Xuansu He and Yao Pei were the ones who experienced it personally, and what they said was more detailed than the report from Dao Mendi.

Logically speaking, Qi Xuansu should be prepared with some small gifts, not to mention bribery, but a human relationship that has lasted for thousands of years and has been engraved in his bones. However, his current net worth is really worth noting. Fortunately, Pei Xiaolou and Xu Xiaoying knew his details and were not demanding anything.

Qi Xuansu did not stay in Wanshou Chongyang Palace for long. After finishing his visit, he left Wanshou Chongyang Palace alone.

As a result, as soon as they reached the mountainside, they were surrounded by a group of Taoist priests, led by Zhang Yongyan.

Qi Xuansu was not afraid, but said: "You don't want to hold any grudges overnight."

Zhang Yongyan pulled out a short sword from his sleeve. The blade shone with cold light. He calmly held the sword in his hand and looked Qi Xuansu up and down: "Your surname is Qi."

Qi Xuansu did not take out the weapon, but gently rubbed the "Chu Zhen Sutra" hanging on his waist and said, "Yes, my surname is Qi, but I have nothing to do with the Qi family in Shuzhou."

Standing next to Zhang Yongyan was a young man whose clothes were even more exaggerated, with half of his chest exposed. He took a handful of Tie Ruyi from his subordinates and said casually: "What do you call this fellow Taoist?"

Qi Xuansu said: "My name is Qi Xuansu, I am not from your circle. And you, please sign up too."

The young master smiled and said, "My surname is Shangguan, Shangguan Chao."

Qi Xuansu sighed: "I admire the deputy hall master Shangguan for dying in battle, but it's a pity."

Shangguan Chao said coldly: "Where does all this nonsense come from? I heard that you are the face of the eldest daughter of the Yao family? It seems that the eyes of the eldest daughter of the Yao family are just that. If you let us put so many marks on your face, "How about this matter being settled?"

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment and said: "To be honest, in my previous impression, you guys from aristocratic families were always graceful, polite, and sanctimonious hypocrites, or you were cynical, maverick, and crazy. But after meeting today, I am a little disappointed. You seem to be no different from us ordinary people. You don’t have such a profound city and a deep recuperation. It seems that I thought of you too well. ”

This is Qi Xuansu's true words. In the past, he had heard a story about an emperor who had a golden pole. It was said that ordinary people could not imagine what the emperor's life was like because of their own knowledge, so there were stories of the empress of the East Palace baking pancakes and the Queen of the West Palace. There is a saying that when the empress peels green onions, the emperor has a golden pole. Therefore, Qi Xuansu always thinks higher about people or things he doesn't understand, and Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others also confirm his thoughts to some extent.

However, Qi Xuansu suddenly discovered that Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei were just a few outliers. Those ordinary sons of aristocratic families, despite their aura of family background, were not essentially outstanding people.

Taking Zhang Yongyan as an example, Qi Xuansu guessed that he would come to cause trouble, but Qi Xuansu thought deeper. He thought that Zhang Yongyan would carefully set a trap, such as the Immortal Dance or something, which would not only ruin his future, but also ruin his reputation, or All kinds of scheming, the worst is to hire murderers to hurt people instead of getting punished personally, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yongyan would just invite helpers and followers, and they would come to trouble him without hesitation.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhang Yongyan simply looked down on Qi Xuansu and felt that it was not necessary to bother him, so he just slapped him to death, which was simple and trouble-free.

In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the Taoist Priest of the Fourth Grade Jijiu was not a great figure. Qi Xuansu's master, Qi Haoran, was a fourth-grade Taoist priest who offered sacrifices to wine, and he died in the hands of Shen Yuxi, a son of the aristocratic family.

But then again, as the saying goes, a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. In any case, Qi Xuansu is a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest. At such an age, Ning Yuqing can see that Qi Xuansu has a bright future, but Zhang Yongyan despises Qi Xuansu so much. It's not about knowing people well. To put it more harshly, it means that you don't have a good eye.

Qi Xuansu really looked up to such a person.

Zhang Yongyan's face darkened: "Be shameless and do it!"

A crowd of people behind him rushed toward Qi Xuansu

One good thing about a martial artist is that he has an extremely tough body. Every punch and palm, his limbs and body are all weapons, and his recovery ability is extremely strong. What is even more mysterious is that he knows his body very well, controls it to the smallest detail, and can move it freely.

Qi Xuansu relied on the physique of a heavenly martial artist and didn't even bother to use weapons. Faced with the siege of everyone, his moves were not very powerful. They were just punches, but the great power contained in this punch could be called a mountain collapse. Breaking the stone is not an option.

No matter how many opponents responded to Qi Xuansu's punches, Qi Xuansu just punched on his own. At first, he punched very slowly, almost like an old man practicing boxing. His energy and blood declined, and his punches had no momentum but no power. , even if there is an instant burst, it is difficult to last, but then the speed becomes faster and faster, and finally the wind even roars, leaving afterimages.

Then Qi Xuansu suddenly stopped, and then stepped down hard with his left foot. There was no difference at all where he landed, but the ground seemed to shake. These opponents were just innate people, and the movement of his true energy stagnated.

Taking advantage of this moment of stagnation, Qi Xuansu punched quickly.

At this moment, his whole body was exuding almost real blood. Every movement brought out the sound of whistling wind, and every punch contained all kinds of vigor and vibration, pulling the surrounding heaven and earth energy, forming a swirling air current that was difficult to resist. , eventually gathered into a whirlpool, and the people around him who were not as good as Qi Xuansu were drawn by this whirlpool to within three feet of Qi Xuansu's body.

Once within this range, Qi Xuansu only needs to punch. With one punch, the tendons will be broken and the bones will be broken, causing death or injury.

At this moment, Shangguan Chao, who had been watching, suddenly got angry and hit Qi Xuansu on the back with Tie Ruyi in his hand, which only made Qi Xuansu's figure shake slightly.

However, Shangguan Chao's method was far from that. The Tie Ruyi in his hand was not an extraordinary object, but a treasure with a "ghost curse" attached to it. This blow was not intended to damage Qi Xuansu's body, but to inject the "ghost curse" into his body. Qi Xuansu's body.

The so-called "ghost curse" is extremely sinister. After being hit by the "ghost curse", the body will gradually decay. Moreover, the curse is extremely difficult to deal with, like a gangrene attached to the bone, which is difficult to remove. When the disease becomes terminal, the person who has been cursed will soon rot. , unable to move, no different from the living dead, and even turn into zombies after death.

However, the "ghost curse" has a huge flaw, that is, it bullies the weak and fears the strong. It has almost no effect on people whose realm is higher than one's own. It is also difficult to achieve success against people who are of the same realm.

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath, the joints all over his body exploded, the periosteum roared like a heavy drum, the spine twisted and twisted, and the clicking sounds were endless. The blood around him was already like substance, and now it was soaring into the sky. For various spells, the biggest restraint was the warrior's blood, and the "ghost curse" was a way of bullying the weak. Qi Xuansu His Qi and blood are so strong that as long as he is under heaven, any mysterious magic will be greatly suppressed. His realm is far higher than that of Shangguan Chao. Shangguan Chao used "ghost curses" to deal with Qi Xuansu, which was naturally an attack on Qi Xuansu. .

One of the taboos about "ghost curses" is: if you fail to hurt someone, you will suffer backlash. Shangguan Chao failed to cast the "ghost curse", and was immediately penetrated into his body by the "ghost curse". His expression changed greatly. He knew how powerful the "ghost curse" was. After being hit by the curse, he really wanted to live but not to die. He couldn't help it anymore. After paying attention to Qi Xuansu, he screamed strangely and hurriedly threw away the Tie Ruyi in his hand. Looking at his palm, he saw that it was already stained with a layer of black energy. For a moment, he ignored Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yongyan and turned around and ran towards the Wanshou Chongyang Palace.

Fortunately, the Wanshou Chongyang Palace is close at hand, and there are many experts sitting in charge. In addition, the "ghost curse" has not penetrated deeply into his body, so it is not difficult to help him get rid of the "ghost curse".

After Shangguan Chao left, although the others were outnumbered, they could no longer pose much of a threat to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu only punched, but showed mercy and did not take anyone's life.

Soon, only the seven people with the highest cultivation levels could barely stand.

At this moment, Zhang Yongyan shouted: "Form up!"

After a slight hesitation, the seven people formed a formation, which turned out to be the "Seven Luminous Star Formation", surrounding Qi Xuansu. The situation immediately changed. Qi Xuansu even felt a bit of pressure, which was far from what it was when they were fighting alone. At the moment, he was running his "Tantai Boxing Intent" with all his strength, standing still on the spot with both feet, and the spine behind his back was twisting like a dragon. From the spine, a series of bursting and roaring sounds were heard from his chest, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and five fingers, and he punched Played before.

As the punch was delivered, the air in front of him began to vibrate and twist violently. The seemingly simple and direct palm brought out a huge whistling sound. The majestic force caused varying degrees of turtles to appear on the ground within a ten-foot radius. The person facing this punch, even with the strength of seven people, would still have all the bones in his body shattered in an instant and fall to the ground.
