"Young master from an aristocratic family, you used to deal with low-class people, and you haven't suffered any disadvantages, so it's normal for you to be ignorant." Su Anran said lightly, her tone can't be called sarcasm, but the more indifferent she is The tone made Simon Desheng more annoyed, "Now we are dealing with an opponent of the same level, and the opponent is obviously more experienced, so after suffering a big loss, it is easy to lose our mentality."
Simon Desheng pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but his breathing became a little rough.
"The other party is arranging follow-up work, we don't have much time." Su Anran thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go to the left."
"Oh." Qingyu nodded without asking why.
Anyway, she knew that even if she asked, Su Anran would just answer "feeling", so it would be better not to ask, to save some saliva.
"I'll go to the right." Simon Desheng said suddenly, and then ran to the building complex on the right without looking back.
Looking at Ximen Desheng's back, Qingyu curled her lips and said, "I don't like this person."
"Like I said, a child from an aristocratic family with little experience." Su Anran shook her head, "The cultivation method of the aristocratic family is different from ours. It has been going smoothly for too long, so I can't bear to suffer a little bit. Before, I was able to maintain a balanced mentality. But he hasn’t really been cornered yet, and now that he’s almost in a deadlock, many flaws will be exposed.”
"But you are not nervous at all." Qingyu said curiously.
"Don't you have any hole cards?" Su Anran said lazily, "It's not really desperate now, I just don't want to expose my identity so quickly, who doesn't have a few hole cards to keep in case? It's just that my hole cards may be better than They're just stronger."
Qingyu pouted.
She had known for a long time that people like Su Anran must be dishonest, and how could they enter the cave so easily without any preparation, so she felt that it was the wisest choice to hug Su Anran's thighs tightly.As for Ximen Desheng, Qingyu did have the intention of pushing him out to share the firepower, but he also knew that it probably would not succeed, because she could see that the Sword Sect really regarded Su Anran as a serious threat.
If it were someone else, Qingyu would have been so far away.
It's just that Su Anran is different.
Qingyu, who had already had cooperation experience in Shenhai of Illusion, knew this very well, that's why she chose to fight side by side with Su Anran.Otherwise, with her identity and strength, as long as she sells Su Anran, she can break through and leave here when the other party is less crowded. After all, she is really not interested in the cave.
Ignoring Ximen Desheng, in fact, from the moment Yang Qi started to set up a situation, they were destined to part ways with Ximen Desheng.
However, the two sides were not familiar with each other at first, and it was because of Qingyu's random move that led to the current situation - of course, if it wasn't for that random move, he would not have been able to enter this cave.After all, for Ximen Desheng, it was an act of giving charcoal in a timely manner, but for Sword Sect, it was just icing on the cake, so the significance of it is naturally incomparable.
"Speaking of which, there is still a debt to be settled between me and you." Su Anran looked at Qingyu, and hated iron for nothing.
Qingyu looked confused:? ? ? ?
"Hmph." Su Anran snorted coldly, "We'll count slowly after we leave here."
Qingyu's face was confused: "Are you trying to find an excuse to hit me again?"
"I still need to find an excuse for hitting you?"
Qingyu thought about it, she had been in contact with Su Anran for so long, it seemed that Su Anran really didn't need to make excuses when he hit her.
Thinking of this, Qingyu felt that she was too embarrassed.
She is a descendant of one of the three great sages of the Demon League, and is also known as the most outstanding martial artist in the past thousand years. Her talent is stronger than Ao Wei, but when she meets Su Anran, it is like meeting a natural enemy. Being crushed and unable to stand up, Qingyu felt that it was really difficult for her to be a monster.
……
Just as Su Anran and Qingyu expected, the sword sect's hatred for them far exceeds that of Ximen Desheng, so except for a few disciples who must stay at the exit, the rest of them all chased to the left, including Eighteen Sword Sect disciples including Yang Qi and Shen Pingan.
It's just that when they chased Su Anran and Qingyu into the building complex on the left, they realized that the cave was bigger than they had imagined.
This palace complex is not separated by walls.
At the front is a large hall similar to a hall. The spacious screen is divided into front and back by a thick screen. Two huge copper furnaces about one meter high are placed in the middle of the two sides of the screen.There is a lot of gray-white furnace ash in the copper furnace, but there is no incense root. It seems that the two copper furnaces are not used for incense, and even though there is such a long interval, there is still a faint fragrance in this hall. Seems to be some kind of woody fragrance.
Ximen Court is the name of this hall.
Entering through the front door, bypassing the screen, and exiting through the back door, you can see a huge courtyard.
There are a total of eight flower beds in the courtyard, which are divided into two layers of circular structure.
The four flower gardens on the first floor are located in the southeast, northwest, and the four flower gardens on the second floor are slightly larger than the four flower gardens on the first floor, and are located in the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest respectively.
On the eight flowerbeds, flowers of eight different colors were planted, and they did not wither because of the passage of time.
Everything here looks as if someone has been carefully taking care of it, full of a kind of exuberant vitality.
In the other three directions of the courtyard, there are also three buildings that are the same as the Ximen Court Hall, and even the layout inside is exactly the same.
Obviously, these are three "doors".
Through the gate, one can vaguely see behind the gate at the other end, which seems to have a similar layout to this garden garden.It’s just that not all of them are flower gardens. Some have the same layout as palace gardens, some have pools and pavilions, and some are simply pools. From a cursory perspective, the scale seems to be different.
"Brother?" Shen Pingan glanced at Yang Qi.
"We made a mistake." Yang Qi sighed, his face didn't look depressed, but he was somewhat unexpected and helpless, "I didn't expect the buildings on both sides to be more complicated than we imagined. Maybe we can finish exploring here."
"Then we just let them go?" Shen Pingan's tone was rather unwilling.
"Leave a few people to guard, and then we go up the mountain." Yang Qi just pondered for a moment, and then said, "The people who stay behind should not go deep here. If Qingyu and that surnamed Su want to break out and leave, just entangle them and Just signal for others to come and help."
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Shen Ping'an immediately understood the brother's intentions.
He's just reckless, not really stupid.
Now the entire Dongfu has been controlled by their Sword Sect, whether it is Su Anran, Qingyu, or Ximen Desheng, in their eyes, they are already the shackles.So when to do it is completely up to them to decide, so naturally there is no need to rush for a while, as long as they can still block the opponent's space for movement, they will be able to strangle the opponent here sooner or later.
However, this was just Shen Ping'an's idea.
In fact, Yang Qi's consideration was a little deeper.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the palace built on top of Baifeng is the residence of the owner of the cave, and the things stored there must be the best.As for the palace complexes on both sides, although they still don't know what the specific purpose is, they think it is just a place where some guests or servants live. No matter how good these things are, they must be limited.
So as long as their Sword Sect can get the best things, the rest are just side-effects.
Even Yang Qi didn't think it was necessary to continue wasting time and manpower here—different from Shen Ping'an's just fighting for spirit, Yang Qi's consideration was more based on the interests of the entire sect.So getting the best things in the cave, and then taking the rewards of this Tianyuan trial together, is the option that is most in line with the interests of Sword Sect for Yang Qi.
As for fighting Su Anran, Qingyu, and Ximen Desheng in this maze-like place?
That's not Yang Qi's style.
……
"...So based on Yang Qi's character, he will never chase us after seeing the situation in the first courtyard." Su Anran said to Qingyu lightly, "But he will definitely leave some people behind in the west gate. The court guarded us to prevent us from going out to make trouble."
"Why are you so clear?" Qingyu was a little puzzled.
"Everyone's personality and way of thinking are different, which will lead to different logical concepts of their actions." Su Anran said, "The so-called mastering people's hearts is actually thinking about what the other person thinks, and thinking about what the other person thinks. You just need to figure it out A person's general character, and understanding of the other person's needs, rules of conduct, or principles, then you can infer what the other person really wants, and when you can completely control what the other person wants, you will naturally Then you can make the other party obey your orders."
"Yang Qi is calm and calm, and he acts like a general. When negotiating with him yesterday, he was more concerned about the interests of the sect. This is because he set up a situation today to completely block us. Death here can also be analyzed." Su Anran continued, "So if we don't give it to the other party, he won't fight us to the end... Fortunately, the team leader is not Shen Ping'an, otherwise we would probably be here now. It's time to play hide and seek."
"Then can we get out of here?"
"Why did you leave?" Su Anran looked at Qingyu with a strange expression.
"But didn't you say..."
"Yes, they plan to go up the mountain to the palace, but from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, I estimate that it will take two to three days on their feet, and the subsequent exploration will take at least one or two days." Su Anran suddenly laughed Said, "It will take at least five days to go back and forth like this. If there are traps on it, it may have to be extended to more than six or seven days, or even ten days."
And seeing Su Anran's smile, Qingyu knew that Su Anran was making bad plans again.
Sure enough, almost after Qingyu came up with this idea, Su Anran spoke again.
"We will count on six days, so we have three days to explore. After three days, we can choose to fight back. If everything goes well, we can even block Yang Qi from going up and down the mountain. At that time, we will turn back and take the lead." .”
"But how do you know how many people they will keep?"
"I know." Su Anran nodded, "Because I know Yang Qi's character. His greatest strength is that he is steady and calm enough, but his greatest weakness is precisely because he is too steady...he stayed in the Ximen Court. There will be no more than six people, because this is the minimum number of people he estimated to delay the two of us to the maximum. After that, he will arrange four people at the East Gate, because that is also enough to delay Simon De Victory. Judging from these two points, there should be six to eight people in charge of guarding the entrance and exit of the cave."
"There is nothing wrong with such an arrangement, because as long as we break through, they can send a signal for nearby people to support." Su Anran smiled, "But the only problem is that he doesn't know who I am."
……
"Senior brother, will the manpower arranged in this way be too many?"
"No." Yang Qi shook his head, "This number is just right... Six in the west gate, four in the east gate, plus eight people guarding the exit of the cave. As long as someone sends a signal from the east and west gates, they will Immediately with instant support from others, they are absolutely doomed."
Chapter 174 Don't Talk
The scale of the palace complex is not only far beyond Yang Qi's imagination, it is also far beyond Su Anran's imagination.
The entire western palace complex is like a huge maze.
After passing through each "door", there will be white jade passages extending in three different directions.Moreover, this building seems to use a very special magic circle and spells, so that each "door" can't tell the situation and layout inside the building if it is judged from the appearance alone: standing in the courtyard and observing, you will never be able to tell. You can only see a thick screen and a copper furnace inside the door. Only when you really cross the threshold and enter the interior of the building can you really see what the scene inside the building is.
The only building that can be distinguished from the "gate" is that there are no screens and copper furnaces after crossing the threshold.
If there are screens and copper stoves, it means that this is a "gate" connecting the front and back courtyards.
If not, then these buildings may be study rooms, residences, alchemy rooms, training rooms, exhibition rooms, utility rooms, etc.
For two full days, Su Anran and Qingyu have never explored the most boundary in this palace complex.
It seems that the space of this palace complex has been infinitely expanded and extended, and it will never end.
If it wasn't for Su Anran's continuous recording, he and Qingyu would have been lost in this palace complex long ago.
"It really deserves to be the Taoist Cave Mansion." Qingyu couldn't help sighing.
"Taoist cave?" Su Anran only knew that this cave was owned by a monk named "Ziyou Taoist", but he was not very clear about the specific situation. "Does this Taoist have anything to say?"
"You don't know?" Qingyu was surprised, but as soon as she said this, her expression suddenly became enlightened again, "I almost forgot, you hardly understand the common sense of the world of cultivation. I really don't know You have practiced for so long, how come you don’t know anything.”
"I have only been practicing for three years, less than three and a half years." Su Anran said helplessly, "I spend almost all my time on cultivation, how can I have time to understand these things?"
"Wait!" Qingyu suddenly stopped, and looked at Su Anran with a shocked face, "You said, you have only practiced for less than three and a half years, and you are already at the fourth level of Tongqiao Realm?"
"Yes." Su Anran was a little dazed, "Is there any problem?"
"It's impossible!" Qingyu shook her head, looking extremely unbelievable, she looked at Su Anran as if she was looking at some monster, "Even the two most talented of you in Taiyigu spent a lot of money." Over four years."
Su Anran knew who Qingyu was talking about.
Fourth Senior Sister Ye Jinxuan and Ninth Senior Sister.
But in fact, almost no one in the Xuanjie knew about it. This was because they all spent more time for the sake of the Great Perfection of the Divine Sea.If it is not for the pursuit of the Great Perfection of Shenhai, let alone the fourth senior sister, even the second and third senior sisters are enough to cultivate to the fourth level of Tongqiao state in just three years.
In fact, in order to cultivate to the Great Consummation of the Divine Sea, the Second and Third Senior Sisters spent seven or eight years in the Divine Sea Realm and did not break through to the Opening Aperture Realm until after the Divine Sea Great Consummation.And you must know that it only took a year for these two to cultivate from the first level of Tongqiao Realm to the fourth level of Tongqiao Realm.
In all fairness, in the Taiyi Valley, the only ones with the most outstanding cultivation talents are actually the second and third senior sisters, and the fourth senior sister Ye Jinxuan who can reach the level of a monster is after that.As for the Ninth Senior Sister and the Fifth Senior Sister, who are also representatives of the Martial Arts School, they are just the standard of geniuses, but they are no match for these two. The tail of the "monsters".
But outsiders don't know these inside stories, so they take it for granted that the five members of the Taiyigu Fighting Sect are genuine monsters.In particular, they believed that Ye Jinxuan and Su Anran's Ninth Senior Sister were the evildoers among the five evildoers, and they even thought that they would be the fastest monks to break through to the fairyland.
It is also because of this that when the Fourth Senior Sister Ye Jinxuan entered the Tianbang of Wanshi Building but was not given a fairy name in advance, the entire monastic community was shocked.
In fact, among the five people on today's list who possessed immortal names in advance, the third person in Taiyi Valley is Su Anran's second senior sister, third senior sister Tang Shiyun, and ninth senior sister.The remaining two places are Xuanyue Sword Immortal Xu Yue from Hidden Sword Pavilion, and Bi Immortal Tan Daode who was born in the Confucian School of Masters.
"Maybe I'm more evil?" Su Anran raised her head.
Qingyu thought about it seriously, and then nodded: "It makes sense."
Now, it was Su Anran's turn to be surprised: "Don't you doubt it?"
"If you were not from Taiyi Valley, I would doubt it, but since you are a disciple of Taiyi Valley, then I don't think there is anything to doubt." After Qingyu accepted the character setting of "Su Anran is a monster", she felt that she It didn't seem as shocking as she imagined, "There has always been a saying in Xuanjie, 'It's not that geniuses don't enter the Taiyi, and if you don't see the Taiyi, you don't know a genius', so you are a disciple of Taiyigu. It's normal... After all, it's Tai Yigu."
Su Anran was speechless.
What kind of terrible impression did Huang Zi make on the entire monastic community?
It seems that as long as it has something to do with the word "Taiyigu", even the unreasonable things will become quite reasonable. What the hell kind of setting is this! ?
Qingyu didn't know that Su Anran was going crazy in her heart at this time, she said to herself: "After Guanghan Sword Immortal breaks through to the Earth Fairyland and becomes a veritable 'immortal', you should know about the Earth Fairyland, right?...Then you Do you know what the next realm of the Earth Wonderland is?"
After seeing Su Anran nodded, Qingyu asked the last sentence.
"I heard it's the Dao Foundation Realm."
"Yes." Qingyu nodded, "Earth Immortal, Daoji, and the other shore, these are the three realms of Xuanjie after the soul-condensing state. But in fact, starting from the soul-condensing state, there are actually two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. Corresponding rank titles. The four realms of Ninghun, Earth Immortal, Daoji, and the other shore are called Xingjun, Zhenjun, Daojun and Xianjun in Taoism; King Kong, Arhat, Bodhisattva Fruit Status and Buddha in Buddhism bit."
"Daoist Ziyou... is this the cave of a Daoist cultivator?"
"Yes." Qingyu nodded, "Master Dao, or the basic realm, is a monk who has walked on the correct road. They have at least comprehended one law of the road, or said Yun. But even if two people walk on the same road Every monk has a different understanding of the principles of the Dao, so the Dao Yun they master is naturally different... Daoist Ziyou, I suspect that the key point is the word 'quiet'."
As a descendant of the great sage of the monster clan, Qingyu's knowledge reserve of the monastic world is naturally not comparable to that of Su Anran, a mere newcomer.
What's more, Daojun corresponds to Taoism, which is the field that Qingyu is good at.
"What do you mean?"
"Generally speaking, from the time you confer your immortal name, a monk will get closer to the characteristics of your own immortal name. For example, your third senior sister's 'Guanghan' actually refers to 'Yin Han', because her sword energy can almost Instantly freeze anyone's vitality." Qingyu knew that Su Anran didn't understand, so she opened her mouth to popularize science a little bit, "Ziyou of Taoist Ziyou refers to the Dao Yun that this Taoist has come into contact with...'you' , has the meaning of black, but there is also a word "purple" in front of it, so it must not be the color it refers to. The meaning of "elegant" is equivalent to "elegant", so the meaning of "quiet" can exclude the term "elegant."
Su Anran felt that she had vaguely grasped the meaning represented by "Tao Yun".
He glanced around.
Here, when standing in the courtyard, every building looks exactly the same, and only when you really go deep into it, you will find the difference between these palaces.Obviously, this is not a coincidence, or it is not a deliberate cover-up by Taoist Ziyou.
Then the only explanation is that the palaces and magic circles that this Taoist monk built are actually a kind of practice.
It is the practice of the Dao base realm, and it is the in-depth understanding and excavation of his own Dao Yun.
"Secret." Su Anran said suddenly.
