Seeing An Zhisu so angry, Shi Liuli's face was as gloomy as water, but he did not argue with him.
I don't know where Jiang Xiao got his confidence from. He insisted that it was the Taiyin Sword Master who suddenly used the Five Elements Divine Light... Why do you say he is the Taiyin Sword Master? Did he draw the Taiyin Suming Sword?
Since he can use the Five Elements Divine Light, shouldn’t the first reaction be “This is Penglai Jingyun”?
So it's because the Taiyin Sword Master suddenly left the sect, and you, Jiang Xiao, are too obsessed with it, and have tried every possible means to cure your illness, right?
Even though he was disdainful in his heart, Shi Liuli was not stupid enough to provoke the other party. He just said lightly:
"How strange! From your description, Jiang Xiao, it should be the Huangting Kunwu Sword."
"I understand." An Zhisu said suddenly.
What do you understand? Shi Liuli frowned slightly, and heard the other party say:
“I think he didn’t want to reveal his true identity, so he deliberately used Elder Jingyun’s flying sword and magic in front of me… In other words, after he left Shushan, he had contact with Jingyun and obtained the Five Elements Divine Light and Huangting Kunwu Sword through some means!”
That's enough, Shi Liuli thought to himself.
Every person in Mount Shu has a natal sword. The Taiyin Sword Master already has the Taiyin Suming Sword, so why is he coveting my husband's Huangting Kunwu Sword?
But what Jiang Xiao said is not completely unreasonable. Let’s do another divination to confirm it.
Before she turned up her sleeves, she grabbed a few copper coins in her hand, then stretched out her palm and took a look.
Huh?
The question was whether the person Jiang Xiao met was the Master of Taiyin Sword, and the answer was yes.
So the other person's intuition was correct? I was... wrong?
Thinking of the Taiyin Sword Master, who actually had the Five Elements Divine Light and the Huangting Kunwu Sword in his hands, Shi Liuli felt his body go limp and he almost couldn't stand.
My husband, my husband, could it be that the Taiyin Sword Master...
She managed to stand still, and under An Zhisu's puzzled and irritated gaze, she quickly took out another copper coin and cast a fortune:
Was Luo Yan killed by the Master of Taiyin Sword?
The result of this hexagram is very strange. It is chaotic and unsolvable as a whole, but it also has a negative meaning.
Shi Liuli had studied the art for many years, but he had rarely seen such a strange hexagram. After thinking it over, he felt that it at least confirmed that Luo Yan was not killed by him, which was good news.
So, it was my husband who lent the sword to the Master of Taiyin Sword?
She rubbed her brows in distress, only to hear An Zhisu say again:
"Since you don't know either, I'll take my leave."
"Wait a minute." Shi Liuli subconsciously called her to stop, but then she changed her mind and thought, Jiang Xiao's brain was not very smart, he was impatient and rash, would it really be helpful if he went with her to look for those two people?
Maybe it would be faster to find it by yourself!
Seeing Shi Liuli calling her but not saying anything, An Zhisu became very annoyed. She stamped her feet, turned around and left in a hurry again.
Shi Liuli sat in the hall for a while, thinking for a long time, and suddenly he had another divination:
What is the relationship between the Master of Taiyin Sword and my husband?
The result of the hexagram is chaos and unclear.
Are the Master of Taiyin Sword and my husband together?
The same chaos and unclear.
When did the Master of Taiyin Sword obtain the Huangting Kunwu Sword?
This time the hexagram suddenly changed and a result was given quickly.
Shi Liuli stood up suddenly, his eyes slowly widening.
Based on the result, she calculated the time and found that it was the day when Luo Yan and she explored the Lianshan treasure house.
So, that person is actually my husband?
No, didn’t the previous hexagram say that the person Jiang Xiao met was the Master of Taiyin Sword?
Shi Liuli was upset and wanted to confirm it again, but due to the principle of "one divination cannot be counted twice", he held the coin in his hand but could not throw it away.
Suddenly, it was as if an electric current passed through her mind, causing her to react suddenly:
What he had just asked was when the Master of Taiyin Sword got the Huangting Kunwu Sword, but the result showed that it was when Luo Yan and he entered the Lianshan Treasure House together.
In other words, the Master of Taiyin Sword is the same person that Jiang Xiao met, and is most likely the same as Luo Yan.
Luo Yan... When did my husband become the Master of Taiyin Sword?
Shi Liuli was silent for a long time, and then he started to make a divination again:
Is the master of Taiyin Sword Jingyun?
The result of the hexagram is chaos and unclear.
She looked at the result of the coin, and combined it with the various hexagrams of the past, she vaguely realized the problem.
I asked a different question again:
Is the Master of Taiyin Sword my husband?
The answer is yes.
Shi Liuli stared for a long time, then suddenly threw all the coins in his hand to the ground.
Although the copper coin was hard, it could not withstand the great force she used and was broken into pieces in an instant.
After calming down for a long time, she took out six copper coins again and asked:
Where is the Master of Taiyin Sword?
This time the person who asked the question was not Luo Yan, but the Master of Taiyin Sword, and the hexagram quickly gave the answer.
Shi Liuli rubbed his face with his hands, thinking that this made sense.
In divination, using the term "my husband" as the subject is very imprecise. For example, if someone wants to calculate "his own father", but he does not know that his biological father is someone else, then is the result of the divination for his "biological father" or the "father" who raised him?
Therefore, a more professional approach is to use the other party's real name or Taoist name as the subject and perform corresponding divination.
However, for some unknown reason, Luo Yan abandoned the Taoist name "Jingyun" and even his real name "Luo Yan", resulting in chaos when Shi Liuli calculated whether it was "Jingyun" or "Luo Yan".
There is neither Luo Yan nor Jing Yun in the world, so how is it possible to calculate a person who does not exist?
However, even though he could give up his name and Taoist name, he could not give up his natal sword and his marriage relationship. The former required severing the connection with his Qi, which would damage his own Taoist foundation, while the latter required the two to divorce... There is no doubt that Luo Yan had never done either of these.
Therefore, using titles such as "Master of Taiyin Sword" or "my husband" as the subject has become the only way to locate Luo Yan.
Shi Liuli calmed himself down, then stood up and went out.
"Senior Sister." She found Liang Ruohua and said, "I'm going to be away for a few days. You can temporarily run Tiangong Workshop for me."
"Liuli, are you going out?" Liang Ruohua said worriedly, "What should we do with the sect?"
Although the impact of Luo Yan stealing the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone was not obvious in Penglai, it was extremely far-reaching.
The business of Tiangongfang plummeted because of the collective suspicion of the elders of the sect - could it be that your Tiangongfang is full of traitors?
Of course, Shi Liuli is Elder Shi Ding’s biological daughter, so the possibility that she is a traitor is extremely small.
But two traitors appeared in the sect, so the probability of this happening shouldn't be high! But it just happened, who can say for sure?
Therefore, the best thing for Tiangongfang and others to do is to stay at home and not go out, and try to keep a low profile so as not to attract more fear and vigilance.
However, Shi Liuli had to go out at this time. If the sect knew about it, someone might take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"If the sect asks..." Shi Liuli pondered, "You can say that I found clues about Jingyun's whereabouts, so I want to go and find out."
"Is it really okay to say that?" Liang Ruohua smiled bitterly.
"No problem." Shi Liuli nodded, "Let's put it this way."
She came into the yard, and without hesitation flew into the sky, flying away on her sword.
A few hours later, Xu Yinglian, who had traveled thousands of miles from Kunlun, landed in the yard of Tiangong Workshop accompanied by several Penglai monks.
The purpose of her trip was to find Master Dongyou, who was good at divination, to calculate the whereabouts of Qiu Changtian.
After hearing from Shi Qing that Shi Liuli had gone out, Xu Yinglian was a little disappointed, but he still remained patient and planned to wait here for a few days.
In the secret realm of the giant tree, Chen Guanshui meditated on the spot, and mysterious insights kept coming to his mind.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a restrained divine light flashed in them.
Chen Guanshui has broken through the Nascent Soul Realm's Baoguang Stage and entered the Huaming Stage.
The Baoguang Stage belongs to the lower stage of the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul in the Dantian sits upright, emitting pearl-like light all over its body.
After being promoted to the Huaming Stage, this light became even more dazzling, illuminating the entire Dantian clearly and transparently - the corresponding cultivation level naturally also greatly increased, especially the growth of spiritual awareness.
Although it is certainly not as good as Ajing's scan, the range and accuracy of the spiritual sense have been improved, which makes Chen Guanshui feel a little comforted.
He looked around for a moment and saw Ah Ling squatting beside him, bored, with his hands on his chin, staring at him in a daze.
"What's wrong, fellow Taoist?" Chen Guanshui asked.
"It's okay." A Ling waved her hand, "You seem to be different."
Of course, she would not admit that she had never seen a human cultivator break through, so she was just watching out of curiosity.
"I gained a little." Chen Guanshui said modestly.
"Uh." A Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know much about the situation of cultivators. May I ask what realm the Immortal is in now? How did he break through?"
Chen Guanshui knew that she was a demon and didn't know much about the human Jindan-Yuanying realm, so he asked out of curiosity. After a brief pause, he replied:
"How should I put it? It's like you've been troubled by something for a long time, and suddenly one day you figure it out - it's like a sudden enlightenment."
"Oh, so this is the so-called bottleneck." A Ling said thoughtfully.
For the cultivation of the demon race, there is no such thing as bottleneck or state of mind. Their cultivation process is the process of purifying their own blood. Therefore, as long as the blood is noble and pure enough, the cultivation will be a smooth journey. Otherwise, there will be all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and it will not be smooth.
Because of the hidden defects in A Ling's own bloodline, she had to switch back and forth between a young girl and a young woman in order to practice. Therefore, she was very envious of the human way of practice.
"About that." Chen Guanshui replied.
"So what are you going to do next?" A Ling continued to ask, "Do you want to consolidate your realm? I read in a book that after a breakthrough, practitioners usually need to retreat for a period of time to consolidate their realm."
"Hmm." Chen Guanshui thought for a moment, "I should stay here for a while..."
Before he finished speaking, a long moan was suddenly heard from a distance.
Ordinary cultivators might mistake it for the howl of a wild beast, but Chen Guanshui had experience in the Eastern Emperor Realm after all, so he immediately recognized that it was the voice command of the dragon clan calling their companions, meaning "Come quickly."
Sure enough, A Ling also stood up and said:
"It's getting late. I should go back."
She looked at the rock wall behind her, then climbed up it nimbly, as nimbly as a skinny mountain goat that had been climbing mountains for years.
Chen Guanshui watched from behind and thought that this disguise was really hard.
You can clearly use the dragon's magical power to fly on clouds and mist, but why do you have to climb the mountain barehanded just to pretend to be a mortal?
But this Long Xiaoqi doesn't seem to mind letting me stay here... That's good too, so I don't have to do anything to her.
Chen Guanshui stayed deep underground, while A Ling quickly returned to the surface and left the secret realm.
At the entrance to the secret realm, she saw the two elders of the Donghuang Dao who were brought by the head monk Shi Yao. They were blocking the entrance to the valley, and a female cultivator was standing opposite them.
Yuqing Temple, stone and colored glaze.
Although his fighting ability was not very good, inheriting the weak status of Penglai Yuqing Temple, the opponent himself was proficient in mathematics and came from the Tiangong Workshop, a weapon-making school. It was possible that he did not carry some very powerful unknown magic weapon. Therefore, the two elders were very cautious and did not rush forward to launch an attack.
"Elder Dongyou from Penglai?" A Ling asked with a frown.
"I'm here to look for someone." Shi Liuli said succinctly, "Get out of the way."
The two elders looked at each other for a moment, then spoke to A Ling in secret:
"The two of us will hold him back, and you go find the headmaster."
Ah Ling responded and was about to leave to find Shi Yao, but she heard someone in the distance say:
"So it's here?"
As soon as the words were spoken, An Zhisu turned into a sword light and arrived in front of him in an instant.
Shi Liuli was a little surprised, but he soon realized without fortune-telling that this Shushan Elder Jiangxiao, who failed to get an answer from him at that time, pretended to say goodbye but did not leave, and secretly followed him - this person was not as stupid as he looked.
Shushan Jiangxiao joined the battlefield, and the two Donghuang Dao elders immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They quickly sent a secret message to A Ling again:
"Hurry up! Hurry up! This man is not someone you and I can defeat. Go and call the headmaster over!"
Ah Ling also knew the importance of the situation and was about to use his flying skills to escape, but he heard Shi Yao's cold voice in the distance:
"When did our Donghuang Dao become worthy of Shushan and Penglai joining forces to bully us?"
She flew over on a sword from a distance and looked at An Zhisu, whose hair was as white as snow. Before she could speak, a flying sword suddenly shot out from behind her, targeting Shi Liuli who was standing next to her.
His intention was self-evident, which was to strike first and eliminate Shi Liuli, who lacked practical experience, before besieging An Zhisu together with the two elders.
Shi Liuli was startled, seeing the murderous aura of the flying sword coming towards him, but it was soon intercepted by a sword light and knocked away midway.
However, An Zhisu reacted very quickly and blocked the attack for her with the Han Lie Sword.
She was about to thank him when she heard An Zhisu sneer. He then activated his flying sword and quickly engaged in a fight with Shi Yao and the other two.
