Immortal Formula

   Chapter 632 Lurking

   Ge Gen and Bi Luo looked at each other, their faces were worried, Gu Yan did not speak, just waiting for the two of them to decide.

After a long while, Ge Gen said hesitantly: "Fairy pity, the villain dare not imagine, but the demon girl just said that my Linger, born with the body of Yin spirit, is the best furnace among cultivators. , I don't know..."

   Gu Yan laughed dumbly and said, "If I want to be detrimental to your daughter, do I still need to work hard?"

Seeing that both of them were so frightened that they fell to their knees, she said, "I won't blame the two of you for loving your daughter. Your daughter, born with a ghostly body, will inevitably be watched by others in the future. Well, I will cure her. Afterwards, you can use the teleportation array to avoid Cangwu. Cangwu is so big that you can live anywhere. I can make a talisman with her to cover her natural physique and prevent outsiders from being aware of it. Find a secluded place, live in peace, and live your life."

  Gu Yan just said this, Ge Ling in her arms has already opened her eyes. Before her eyes, there was still some blood mist, and she couldn't see it clearly, but she could hear Yu Fangcai's words clearly, and reluctantly spit out a few words, "Daddy, auntie, I want to worship this sister. Master!"

   Although she was covered in blood, she had a very determined look on her face, "I want to cultivate immortals, I don't want to be a burden to my parents, I don't want you to take me to hide XZ all your life, I don't want to live like this!"

   Ge Gen and Bi Luo looked at each other, and suddenly burst into tears and said, "Linger, we should respond to you..."

Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction, "You stay on the island for a few days and recover from your injuries, then follow me back to the Great Wilderness. You two, do you want to go together?" She smiled, "I'm here on the South China Sea, I am alone, and there is no one to guard the cave for me, if you have time, you can go there."

Ge Gen shook his head firmly, "My husband and wife are pityed by the fairy, and it is a great favor for Linger to worship him, how can we let the fairy take care of him? My husband and wife have their own place, just hope that the fairy If I can cure Linger of my family, and when she becomes successful in the future, she will be able to return to the province to visit her relatives, which is more than enough."

   Although Bi Luo didn't speak, she also held his arm. Obviously, the couple had the same plan.

  Gu Yan also admired their character, so she didn't force it, and asked, "Then where are you two going? Do you want to go back to Suzaku City?"

  Ge Gendao: "I was in Suzaku City, I just settled down temporarily and waited for the fairy to return. Now that Linger has a home, I plan to go back to Suzaku City. After handing over the task, I will go to the extreme south and go to the old friend."

Bi Luo said in a low voice: "I have an old friend who is a teacher, and she takes care of me. She is now in the extreme south of the South China Sea, above the glacier. She has established a palace of her own and is recruiting disciples. I am going to go to defect. , where the terrain is desolate, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter, my husband and I will both settle down there, and if Linger heals his injuries in the future and is ordered to return by his teacher, he can find me everywhere."

Gu Yan said: "In that case, wait for me to give you a ride. I have a temporary cave house outside Suzaku City. When I go back and clean up, I can return to the Great Wilderness." She looked down at Ge Ling, With a smile, he said, "I established a mansion in the Great Wilderness, called the Great Wilderness City. That is my cave mansion in the South China Sea. Before returning to Cangwu, you will stay there for twenty-seven years."

Ge Ling closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile like a crescent moon. Over the years, she has followed her mother to hide from XZ, and she has not had a happy birthday, and of course she has no intention to look at it. What kind of scenery, but when she heard Gu Yan's words, she couldn't help but imagine that the place Master said was her future home. It seems that life is full of hope again...

  Gu Yan put Ge Ling on Ziyun Gui, cut off the wind with magic, and flew towards Suzaku City slowly.

  Ge Ling lay on it, feeling like living on a brocade and jade couch, incomparably stable and secure, with her parents by her side, she felt that her whole life had never been so complete at this moment.

  Gu Yan flew for about half a day, and then returned to the cave where she temporarily lived. Here, she and Chen Diezi chatted for more than a month, and both became confidants. It has been a day since the two separated. I wonder if she has brought Bi Xuan back to Qingqiu?

  Gu Yan placed Ge Ling in a stone room and said, "The two of you will go to Suzaku City to settle the affairs, come back here to stay with her for a few days, and then break up after the injury is healed."

   Ge Gen and Bi Luo thanked Gu Yan again, and then they parted reluctantly and flew to Suzaku City.

   When the two entered the city gate, they found that there was a different atmosphere in this Suzaku City.

In the huge city, there is a cold and chilling atmosphere. Even the cultivators who come and go in the air have become fewer. Every cultivator who goes in and out must be interrogated, and they are also at the city gate. The gatekeepers are also extremely strict. After revealing the identity and taking out the token, the other party still carefully went to the city lord's mansion for questioning, and then used a jade plate to engrave the appearance of Gegen and Biluo, and the jade book they left behind. After verifying and comparing, and after confirming that they were correct, the two of them were let in. The cultivator who guarded the gate added another sentence: "After returning to the city, immediately give orders, don't walk around, and don't cause trouble!"

   Ge Gen couldn't help but wonder, this Suzaku City is thousands of miles away, the most prosperous town of Tongdu, the place where the loose cultivators gather, why is there a tension now?

They returned to the city lord's mansion to hand in the order, met the uncle named Qing Yuanzi, and reported the task. Qing Yuanzi seemed to have something to do, but after hearing their report, he said, "You two have worked hard, Hurry back to where you live, don't act rashly, and wait for the dispatch of the four city masters."

   Ge Gen wanted to say that he was going to leave Suzaku City, but Qing Yuanzi waved his hand impatiently and told him to go down, Bi Luo gently tugged at his sleeve, and the two retreated silently.

After waiting outside the hall, Bi Luo whispered: "You didn't see your uncle, did you feel impatient with you? Obviously something big must happen in the city, I'm afraid we two are not here at all now. It's within sight. You have been here for a long time in the City Lord's Mansion, have you ever seen the Four City Lords appear?"

  Gegen thought about it, and suddenly felt reasonable, "What about that?"

Biluo said: "Anyway, the business has been handed over, we are considered to be full of merit and virtue, it would be boring to stay in this city any longer, why don't you wait until it's dark, take the opportunity to leave the city, get together with Linger for a few days, and then go to my place in the South China Sea. Wouldn’t it be better to go to the elder’s Little Ice Palace, to live in seclusion there, and wait for Ling’er to return from her studies?”

​​​​​​

When they entered the city, the sky was still early in the morning, and it was not even noon now, and it was still a long time before nightfall, but when they returned to the yard where they lived, they found that the house was already empty, and the two neighbors who were originally They were all moved away, and only their room was left.

   The neighbors on both sides also locked their doors and never made a sound. Occasionally, one person went out and saw the two of them coming back, as if he had seen a ghost, and quickly shrank back. Makes two people very confused.

   At this time, Cui Qiao, the four city lord Ge Gen said, was sitting in his own hall, listening to Qing Yuanzi's reply.

   He pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Do you remember correctly, that Gu Yan, the first time he came to Suzaku City, did he really go to this person surnamed Ge to find someone?"

Qing Yuanzi nodded respectfully, "Back to the four city masters, the one named Ge Gen is my nephew, and his wife Bi Luo, who was originally from Zhuzi Island, was abducted by him, which attracted the deputy Duan. The island owner was furious. He once said that no matter where he saw them, they would be captured and killed. Later, he did not know why, but he actually invited the owner of Qianjing Island, who no one knew, to talk about it, and finally Let the island master give this face, spare their lives, but drive them out from a distance, and will not step into the realm of Zhuzi Island for the rest of their lives. After that, they gave birth to a daughter. He took his wife and daughter to seek medical treatment everywhere, and even his practice was abandoned, and he became more estranged from us teachers and uncles. I don't know why he heard about me this time. Suzaku City, so he came to seek refuge."

Cui Qiao said "um", then stood up, "You have done a good job in this matter, secretly sent people to look after them, and you must not let them go, I will go to see the big city lord, if you do well, raise What's so difficult about you being the Lord of the Eight Cities?"

Qing Yuanzi's face suddenly showed a happy expression. As one of the dozens of deputy city lords in this Suzaku City, it was actually quite difficult. His authority was far from that of the seven major city lords. Wen Lunyin bowed and replied, "My subordinates will live up to their trust!" Cui Qiao smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and quickly went to the apse.

He turned a few corridors, walked out of the city lord's mansion from the back door, and walked along a narrow passage for a while, and suddenly a bright, extremely high white tower went straight into the sky, Cui Qiao flew up, and fell into the white pagoda. Go to the top floor of the tower.

   This place is called Tongtian Pagoda. It is the tallest building in the entire Suzaku City. It is also the place where the big city owner who founded Suzaku City single-handedly has learned and cultivated in recent years.

This tower has dozens of floors, winding upwards layer by layer. At the top, there is only a stone room carved out of white jade. Cui Qiao walked out of the stone room lightly, and then raised his hand to tap .

   tapped three times, and a voice came from inside, "Is it the fourth child, come in."

  Cui Qiao pushed open the door and entered. In the stone room with a radius of several meters, there was only one couch, one table, one stool, and one futon.

   On the jade couch, sat an old man. He was wearing a robe with countless stars on his body, his eyes were slightly closed, his white eyebrows almost fell below his eyelids, his face was full of wrinkles and layers of layers, it seemed that it was just a slight movement of his face, and it would shake out. It's like thousands of years of wind and frost.

   When he saw Cui Qiao coming, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."

  Cui Qiao sat respectfully on the bench and said, "I haven't come to see Big Brother for several months, is Big Brother all right? Is it better for him to lose his mind?"

The old man said lightly: "That's just the case. Since the last time I comprehended the Yuan Ying Dao, I accidentally went into a demon, and the yin qi was forked into the lower body, causing the three yang meridians to become unbalanced. For hundreds of years, I have not been able to recover. The affairs of the city depend more on you."

The extremely bland conversation between the two revealed an astonishing secret. This big city lord, who was in the late stage of the formation of pills, created Suzaku City by hand here. The Holy Land of Loose Cultivators, but the great city lord who used to be all-powerful in the past, has already been paralyzed in the lower limbs because of his infatuation, and has been unable to move for hundreds of years!

However, Cui Qiao's face did not show any contempt at all, but instead became more respectful, "Big brother has talked a lot. Even if you can't move the bottom plate, but with your spells that penetrate the sky and the earth, who are you afraid of? ? We are trying our best to find elixir for you. As long as your true qi is restored and you are reborn in the next game, you will immediately be able to advance to the realm of complete pill formation. Under the three Nascent Souls, if you don't think of others, you will be famous in the South China Sea. , Du Que, the owner of Xiuning Island who kills without blinking an eye, and the mysterious, treacherous and unpredictable fairy Ruan from Qingqiu, and the Dora Buddha of Yuntai Buddha Country, I am afraid they are hard to compare with you. "

He said so many compliments in one breath, and almost counted the masters under the three Nascent Souls, but the old man's face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Island Master Du and Fairy Ruan, they are all people who have been famous for many years when I debuted, and their prestige is far ahead of me. Now that my injury has not healed, how can I compete with them?" He did not express the meaning in his words. In agreeing with Cui Qiao's words, as long as his injuries are gone, he may not be inferior to these people!

Cui Qiao said: "Over the years, my second brother and third brother, as well as all the brothers, have been doing our best to find something to heal the elder brother. If you want to remove the yin qi in the three yang meridians in your body, only Zijin Yanlong Lotus, or the legendary soul-devouring eye, can only be effective. It's a pity that in the past hundred years, no trace has been found. In this Suzaku City, we have established countless square markets, monks from south to north. There are many, but none of them have the wind!"

  The old man said lightly: "It is precisely because of this that you hooked up with the people of the Lian family, and did such a secret thing on the Primordial Island?"

His voice was low and weak, and he said these few words lightly, as if even a gust of wind could blow it away, but Cui Qiao was stunned, he quickly stood up, knelt down in front of him, and said, "Fourth brother Reckless, big brother please punish!"

The old man sighed, waved his hand, and asked him to stand up, "You wait, why don't I know? Run for my injury, join forces with the Lian family, and refine the Soul Eater, that's fine, but you shouldn't If you think about it again, you are going to plot against that Chen Diezi in Qingqiu, you know that the women in Qingqiu have weird temperaments.

  Cui Qiao's whole body was covered in cold sweat, "It turns out that in this Tongtian Tower, Big Brother already knows everything about the outside world."

The old man let out a long sigh, "The four of us, the four brothers, built the Vermillion Bird City here in order to establish a foundation in the South China Sea, just like Cangwu's Gusu City, to be able to stand on the South China Sea. Outside of the seven islands, it is really not easy to find a pure land for the loose cultivators, but to survive in the cracks. Over the years, under the eyes of those people in Hanlifeng, we have been cautious and dare not be slighted, that Fairy Lin, He has always been a lonely person, and he will not pay more attention to us. Could it be that you can't even wait for a little patience? "

Cui Qiao stood up, his two hands clenched his fists tightly, his blue veins burst, and he said in a deep voice, "Although what the eldest brother said, although it was an old and serious word, but when the four brothers swore blood, now the eldest brother has lost his temper. Lying paralyzed in bed, how can we not be worried? Today, on the South China Sea, the wind is surging. A few months ago, the bamboo of Yunmeng was born again. I have heard the name of Suzaku City."

The old man said in a low voice, "With such a false name, is it really that important to you?" He took a long sigh, "Anyway, when you join forces with the Lian family, do you know that Lian Wenqing is a kind person? You must know that standing behind him is the Eight Desolate Layman, the old demon who has traversed the South China Sea for thousands of years, killing people without blinking an eye, when he is angry, how can Vermillion Bird City compete with him?"

Cui Qiao said: "Brother Lian and I had several relationships in Cangwu back then, and we made a deal with each other. When he came to the South China Sea, before he arrived at Qianjing Island, he came to find me first, and chose the place of corpse refining in Hunyuan. The island was also obtained by following my advice. He moved with his family on the South China Sea, like a rootless duckweed. Although Qianjing Island was his support, his strength was too strong, so he could not rest assured. My relationship of equality and cooperation is more reliable. If his Soul Eater is tempered, supplemented by your eldest brother’s treasure, and the two join forces, can’t we establish a separate force outside the seven islands?”

The old man lowered his eyebrows and said indifferently, "You three have already made preparations this time. Anyway, over the years, the three major events in the city have been decided by the three of you, and you don't need to ask me. You know, how are you going to act?"

Cui Qiao bowed his head respectfully, and said, "It's hard to escape the eldest brother's wisdom, but I discussed with the second and third brothers, and did not dare to disturb the eldest brother beforehand, adding to the worries. The girl, together with her friend Gu Yan Suping, just don't know whose hands belong to the Soul Eater and the Wheel of Magic. We plan to divide our troops into two groups. The second brother and the third brother will ambush Chen Dizi on the way. , and I was in Suzaku City, dealing with the female cultivator named Gu Yan. I just have to ask the big brother to help."

  The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes suddenly shone with dazzling light, and then quickly moved away, "I'm just a useless old man. If you have any requests, please tell me."

  Cui Qiao bowed and said, "I heard that the woman has an innate fire spirit and is good at controlling fire. Therefore, I want to use the eldest brother's Vermilion Bird Ring."

  The old man said slowly: "Although my Suzaku ring has the name of the ancient treasure, it is only imitated by later generations. No matter how powerful it is, it is far from being comparable, and it may not be able to control the innate fire spirit."

  Cui Qiao frowned. Just as he was about to speak, the old man said again: "But since you want this treasure to be useful, you can take it. It just can't be damaged. Remember to bring it back eventually."

   After saying that, he stretched out his five-fingered, skinny palm like crane claws, and took out a scarlet jade ring from under the jade couch.

This jade ring is very delicately carved, crystal clear, with a thin layer. It seems that there is a liquid circulating in it. The strange thing is that inside the jade ring, there seems to be a vermilion bird, which is constantly swimming inside. The cycle repeats, endlessly. When Cui Qiao took it, she felt the tentacles were warm, as if there was a heat flow inside, slowly emitting through the vermillion bird.

   He took Yuhuan in his arms, and bowed again: "Thank you eldest brother, I will go here."

  The old man suddenly reached out his hand to stop him, "You sent the second and third to catch the little girl in Qingqiu, what are you going to do?"

Cui Qiao stood still, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That little girl, with the bloodline of a demon fox from Qingqiu, is a natural demon spirit, if she can be captured in the city and become a dual cultivator with me, then I will cultivate If you learn the Qianyuan Treasure Art, you will be able to take it to the next level, and maybe you will be able to advance to the top of the alchemy like the big brother did."

The old man sighed softly, "Using the means of the second and third two people to hide and hide unexpectedly, it is not difficult to take down that girl, but if this matter leaks, the one who will follow is Qing. Qiu's endless revenge, at that time, you will wait to bear the wrath of those women. Qingqiu's anger, thunder and power, is far beyond people's imagination. You must know that the means of those women are very comparable. Especially that Fairy Ruan..."

   His brows were a little worried, as if thinking of something extremely ancient, and he said slowly, "You are alone in the city, ambushing that female cultivator surnamed Gu, are you sure?"

Cui Qiao showed a smile, "If we meet at sea, maybe she will escape, but in this Suzaku City, there is the Suzaku Great Array to suppress and this Suzaku Ring to help, if I let her run away, then I will also You don't need to practice any more, just find a piece of tofu and hit him to death." He didn't want to say more, bowed to the old man, and left in a hurry.

The big city lord watched Cui Qiao's back fade away, and sighed in a low voice: "In recent years, the fourth brother has become more courageous, and it's no wonder that if I had the same courage as him, maybe I wouldn't be reduced to that. In such a situation. I just hope that they don't make a mess and let me clean up in the end. Don't forget, who owns this Vermillion Bird City!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of light, he lifted the blanket that was originally covering his legs, and stood up quickly, his thin and tall body almost smashed the upper wall of the stone room. topped.

   It turns out that this big city lord who was paralyzed by fire and had both legs disabled, I don’t know when, he has fully recovered and his injuries are all gone, but no one in the entire Suzaku City knows about this!
