Chapter 11: Errand
Qi Xuansu escaped very quickly, and fled from Jiuwagang before the Qingluan Guards and the black-clothed men formed a siege. Behind him was a huge fire and the screams of dying people.
Just then, a figure blocked Qi Xuansu's way. It was Yan Jiuwei, the Qingluan Guards' chief seal holder who took the risk alone.
He obviously thought Qi Xuansu was a demon, and attacked Qi Xuansu without a word.
Qi Xuansu wanted to say that this was a misunderstanding, but he was an illegal resident and couldn't prove his identity, so he just punched out with both fists.
Qi Xuansu didn't hold back at all, and he tried his best from the beginning. His left hand imitated the warriors to condense blood and qi, and his right hand condensed the scattered people's true qi, hiding the mystery. Because he knew that the Qingluan Guards' chief seal holder was at least at the Guizhen stage of cultivation. If he couldn't catch them by surprise, it would be difficult for him to gain an advantage. Moreover, he was in a dangerous place, and if he was delayed for a while, he might fall into the heavy encirclement of the Qingluan Guards.
Yan Jiuwei underestimated his enemy. He originally thought that Qi Xuansu was a fish that slipped through the net, so he just took care of it. But he didn't expect that it was a big fish. He was careless and caught off guard, and was hit in the chest by Qi Xuansu. He felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't help but retreat and make way.
Qi Xuansu didn't entangle, let alone pursue him. He ran forward and continued to escape.
Yan Jiuwei was one level higher than Qi Xuansu after all. He recovered a little from his injuries in a blink of an eye. Just as he was about to chase him again, he saw Qi Xuansu throw a red round bead with his backhand, flying straight towards him.
Yan Jiuwei was about to reach out to catch it, but suddenly found something wrong. This thing seemed familiar.
Yan Jiuwei reacted and retreated without hesitation.
The next moment, a red light reflected in Yan Jiuwei's eyes, and the red round bead exploded directly, accompanied by rolling heat waves and flames.
Yan Jiuwei barely avoided the explosion and blocked the aftermath of the explosion with his "body-protecting qi". A bit of surprise appeared on his face: "'Phoenix Eye Yisan'? Could it be someone from the Taoist sect?"
Qi Xuansu had already escaped far away with the help of this "Phoenix Eye Yisan". Yan Jiuwei did not choose to chase him because he was suspicious of Qi Xuansu's identity.
Qi Xuansu ran more than 30 miles in one breath, and then stopped to take a breath.
He swore in his heart that he would never join in the fun again, especially this kind of fun related to secret societies. If he was not careful, he would be affected. The power of "Phoenix Eye Jialiu" was so great that even "Wind Lord" did not dare to block it and had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. Not to mention him. If he accidentally died on Jiuwagang, how unfair would it be?
At this moment, Qi Xuansu felt a faint warmth coming from the interlayer of his chest. He reached out and took out a mother-child talisman that was flashing light, urged the true qi, and the mother-child talisman burned by itself and turned into a half-body phantom of Qi Niang.
Qi Niang's slightly distorted voice came: "Tian Yuan, have you been to Xiping Prefecture?"
"I've arrived. Where are you? We agreed to meet in Xiping Prefecture." Qi Xuansu replied, "By the way, I heard that the 'Heavenly Court' was holding a 'Killing Eagles and Dogs Conference' here, so I came to join in the fun, but I almost died in it."
Qi Niang has never been a kind mother. She said: "It's good to be alive. It's also a lesson for you. Don't join in the fun for no reason. Do you think you are a celestial being who plays with the world? As for me, I have some temporary things and can't leave. I may not be able to go to Xiping Prefecture, or it will take some time before I can go there."
Qi Xuansu has long been accustomed to Qi Niang's temporary things and waited for the next words.
Qi Niang then said, "Since you have already arrived in Xiping Prefecture, it's just right. I need your help with something."
"What is it?" Qi Xuansu asked, "Is there a reward for merit?"
Qiniang said, "As long as you help me do this, I will give you two choices, just like last time. It's up to you to choose."
Qi Xuansu's heart moved, and said, "What is it? Tell me."
Qiniang said, "About 500 miles north of Xiping Prefecture, there is a large desert. It is not uninhabited. There are several small cities scattered in this desert. It is an excellent hiding place. For example, if you provoke Qingluan Guards or provoke some great enemies, you can go to this place to hide. Generally speaking, Qingluan Guards will not go there. I have a friend there. He owes me a debt. I hope you can Go for me and help me get my things back. "
Qi Xuansu hesitated: "Collecting debts? Can I beat them? Don't let me get involved before the debt is collected."
"Am I the kind of person who does a losing business?" Qi Niang rolled her eyes at Qi Xuansu, "You owe me so much money. If you die, who should I ask for it? The girl from the Zhang family? She won't recognize it. So don't worry, I have already negotiated in the dream meeting, you are just running errands."
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said, "This is not a difficult task."
Qi Niang said again: "But you can't be careless. The people living there are not good people, especially the various local snakes. If you are not careful, you will capsize in the ditch."
Qi Xuansu certainly understood this truth. It was just running errands. Qi Niang would not be generous enough to give two choices. Danger and difficulty still exist.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Who is the debtor? Where is he?"
Qiniang said, "He is also a member of the Qingping Society. His ci tune is called 'Shan Gui Yao'. As for his exact location, it is very secretive. I can only give you an approximate location. You have to find the rest by yourself."
Qi Xuansu sighed, "I know, Qi Niang, you won't give me benefits for nothing."
"Are you going or not? Give me a straight answer." Qi Niang was a little impatient, "If you don't go, there are plenty of people who will."
"Go, of course." Qi Xuansu said hurriedly. Last time Qiniang gave him two choices, allowing him to successfully enter the Tiangang Hall. This time, there are two choices again. Maybe there is hope for him to return to the Taoist sect. After all, Qiniang has so many magical powers that no one can predict things.
Qiniang showed a loving smile on her face: "My Tianyuan is still reliable and knows how to help me, a woman, to share my worries. This time you go there to find a place called Bai Yutang. In addition to collecting debts, I also left some You can take whatever you want.”
Qi Xuansu asked suspiciously: "When did you become so generous?"
Qiniang chuckled and said: "I won't go to Bai Yutang again for a while. Rather than giving Shan Guiyao or others a bargain, I might as well give it to you. Let's just consider this a deposit."
Qi Xuansu wanted to say that he had never seen such a deposit for painting cakes to satisfy his hunger, but in the end he just curled his lips.
Qiniang said: "Be careful. I will send your mother-in-law talisman and elixir to the contact point in Xiping Mansion through the channels of Qingpinghui. You can use your fish talisman to get it out. As for the worry-free money, I will help you first." Save."
Qi Xuansu has been listening to this kind of talk for many years, similar to parents helping their children keep lucky money, and said indifferently: "Okay."
Qi Xuansu never thought that Qiniang saved him just to exploit him. What could be exploited about a small eighth-grade Taoist priest? It was worth Qiniang spending a lot of money to bring him back from the gate of hell. After years of teaching by words and deeds, this deal was a loss no matter what. of. In fact, to this day, Qi Xuansu is just an insignificant quasi-sixth-grade Taoist priest.
Qi Xuansu was more curious about what Qiniang wanted to do with so much money. She was not a person who was short of money, nor was she a luxurious person. It seemed that making money was just a hobby. This was a hardship for Qi Xuansu. She had not had much money in these years, but she still got it. After entering the Dao Sect, you really have peace money that you can use at will.
Qi Xuansu was even thinking about whether many people would never have money in their lives. They would be managed by their parents when they were young, by their wives when they got married, and by their children when they grow old. That would be too boring.
He doesn't want to be this kind of person.
In any case, Qiniang helped him advance the cost of implanting the secondary heart, which was equivalent to a favor for reconstruction. He could not care less and regard it as repaying the debt, but it would never have been possible if it had been anyone else, not even Zhang Yuelu - Qi Xuansu himself I'm not the kind of man who doesn't give up any principles when he sees a beautiful girl.
Of course, Zhang Yuelu would not restrain Qi Xuansu on such matters at all. She was much more open-minded than Qi Xuansu. She only wanted Qi Xuansu's ideas and goals to be consistent with hers. Money was just an external possession.
However, Qi Xuansu then thought about it, wasn't this just Zhang Yuelu trying to reason and Qiniang tempting him for profit? No matter how he chose, he would still have to listen to them in the end. But I only have one person, and it’s not enough for two people. No wonder Zhang Yuelu and Qiniang didn't have a good impression of each other even though they had never met. Zhang Yuelu believed that Qiniang had instilled many bad habits into Qi Xuansu, and Qiniang felt that Qi Xuansu had forgotten her mother when she had a daughter-in-law.
Is this the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
