Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Leaked, but encrypted conversation...
Bailu's Xuanshan alumni reunion was held as usual.
This time everyone gathered at Tianji Peak, and Ding Douhua stayed at Tianji Peak. She treated everyone to tea in the waterside pavilion at Tianji Peak.
The puppets of Tianji Peak served tea and snacks to everyone, and then continued to take care of the garden chores.
Bai Lu rarely came to Tianji Peak. The puppets here looked very different from Qiusuo. They looked like girls of seventeen or eighteen. Although they also had dull eyes, their skin was fair and their movements were agile.
He looked at it a few more times, hmm...
"What kind of puppets are these?" Bai Lu asked. The ones on Dianmei Peak were wooden puppets, the ones on Tianxuan Peak were black armor puppets, and she had also seen copper puppets, paper puppets, and so on.
"We don't have many puppets in Tianji Peak. These are all disciples of the Peak Master, and they were donated by Senior Brother Pei Zhaoting himself." Ding Douhua said with a complicated expression, "They are jade puppets..."
Everyone who heard this was speechless. Damn rich people...
"Brother, isn't this the kite style that the people of Qinglong Town gave you before?" Meng Caiqing discovered a detail. Bai Lu was wearing a string of ornaments around her waist. The largest one was a small swallow kite the size of a palm, strung together with a pearl and jade ribbon. At first glance, she thought it was a purse. Only then did she see clearly that it was not a purse, and it looked very familiar.
"Either the style is the same, or they are the same." Bai Lu picked it up and showed it. He couldn't let go of the kite and liked to play with it or fly it on the top of the mountain.
So Huo Xuexiang taught him step by step the technique of shrinking the kite so that he could hang it on his body at ordinary times.
In fact, Bai Lu can also be put into the space ring, but this is indeed convenient and open, and it looks good just as an accessory.
Bai Lu can even fly a kite in the palm of her hand. The small kite only flies half a person's height, which is very cute.
"I used a technique to shrink... shrink an object into an inch." Bai Lu thought about the name of this technique, "Shrink it and carry it with you."
This shrinking technique also gave Bai Lu some inspiration to compress magic symbols. These days he made more talismans, which served as both practice and new attempts, hoping to communicate local elements to a greater extent.
Looking at Bai Lu's new research and development, Ding Douhua suddenly took out something a little embarrassedly, "Brother Bai, can you help me take a look at this... I heard that your sword talisman was inspired and designed a formation. If we have to go down the mountain later, it will surely be useful."
It can be said that formation is the most difficult to get started, because it requires a global perspective. If one point goes wrong, the whole thing may go wrong, and there is also the most knowledge to learn.
"Oh? Let's see what you have researched." Bai Lu said with interest.
Ding Douhua took out a small array plate and said, "My master once refined a killing array and placed it at the entrance of his own treasure house to prevent thieves. It is called the Taixu Subduing Demon Array. After entering it, one's cultivation will be refined until the person who enters the array becomes a mortal."
"Have you learned it?" Everyone came over to watch. "Is this a less powerful version of the Taixu Demon Subduing Formation?"
Ding Douhua shook her head and said, "I'm not that powerful. When I thought about Senior Brother Bai putting his sword into the talisman, I thought that I might as well introduce my master's formation into my formation... So I studied the art of Qimen Dunjia and space movement. This formation looks like a maze after entering it, but in fact the only exit is to teleport to my master's formation. As long as you break my formation, you will enter the Taixu Subduing Demon Formation."
...Okay, I'll use a little effort to achieve a great result, and link it to the magic circle of my elders at home, right? As long as the distance of transmission and the concealment of traces are solved, the potential is unlimited.
"Then if the other party can break the Taixu Demon Subduing Formation, it will still be your master's treasure house." Bai Lu said silently, "There is still a third level of murderous intent."
Everyone thought the same and felt a chill in their throat. "Fortunately, Junior Sister is going to use this on outsiders..."
"I think this is very good," Bai Lu said with great interest, "Have you tried it?"
"I haven't come down the mountain yet, so I can't find a place to try it out." Ding Douhua said regretfully, "That's why I wanted to ask my senior brother to help me take a look."
Water travels without a trace. Bai Lu is also very experienced in concealment. See how he has kept his identity as Liu Zi without being exposed for so long. Hahaha. He gave Ding Douhua some suggestions: "The teleportation must be done without a trace to maximize the effect, and the speed must be fast. Do you have any acceleration methods to add, using the wind..." He didn't know how to describe the trial use of the wind element, but fortunately Ding Douhua nodded repeatedly, so he should understand what he meant.
"And you don't necessarily have to go down the mountain to try it out. You may not encounter the bloody corpse evil spirits like us. And if the teleportation distance is too far, it will be ineffective with your current spiritual power, right? You have to take your time. You can try to fight the puppet now, but don't connect to the Taixu Demon Subduing Array, otherwise your cultivation will be refined. You can connect to your Senior Brother Pei, or... to the Alchemy Room?"
Bai Lu looked at the jade puppet.
Look at Meng Caiqing, who once went to the alchemy room and had his eyebrows burned off.
Everyone: ...Even when they got to Pei Zhaoting and the Danfang, they were miserable, poor puppets. As expected of Senior Brother Bai, he has so many ideas.
I don’t know if it was their illusion, but the jade puppet seemed to tremble.
"That's right." Ding Douhua nodded vigorously, "I'll find a chance to try."
"Actually, I have also studied new things." said Junior Brother Zhang, who was practicing the alchemy.
"oh?"
As the oldest brother in this class, Bai Lu has influenced the thinking of other junior brothers and sisters to a certain extent, whether it is his earliest handling of intermittent fasting or his research on alchemy and talismans when studying his major.
Especially this time his sword talisman suddenly appeared and became famous in Xuanshan again. His fellow disciples knew about it. It was said that he not only received rewards from the sect leader, but also received gifts from several peak masters.
With such a role model, how could anyone resist from following suit? They all started to use their imaginations, and it wasn’t just Junior Sister Ding who came up with this idea.
Now, Junior Brother Zhang also took out a bunch of pills: "This one is a pill that really nourishes your essence after you take it, this one will make you talk eloquently, but there is a certain chance that you will keep cursing at me, and this one will make you vomit blood after you take it..."
"Wait, forget about the previous part, but vomiting blood is poison, right? Did I make it wrong?"
"It can't be said to be completely wrong. It will turn into blood arrows spraying at the enemy."
“…”
What a blood-spattering pill.
Meng Caiqing said eagerly, "Have you refined any elixirs or magical instruments that can point the way south? Sometimes I get lost underground, and an ordinary compass doesn't look good underground."
"Senior Sister, you should take some of this pill first. It will clear your eyes and moisten your lungs. You have too much smoke and dust..."
“…”
"Hehe, actually I have one too. Look at my 'Shen Yuntian'." Liang Mangu, as a weapon cultivator, was not willing to lag behind. He had previously studied the automatic talisman machine, which already had some clues. At this time, he even took out a cloud, which was his latest work.
That’s right, a cloud named “Shen Yuntian”, as big as two palms, floated above his head and followed him wherever he went.
They, the weapon repairmen, often have some ideas that no one understands. When they further develop this idea, it is really confusing and no one knows what the point of this is.
In particular, Liang Mangu also gave it a personal name, saying that calling it more often would be more conducive to the production of its spirit.
"What is this... for? To block the sun?" Bai Lu asked in confusion. Looking at it from all angles, it seemed to be floating. Could it be that it was just like his master's blindfold, and only served a decorative purpose? That being said, a cloud on the head was pretty cute.
"...I, I also want to research some magical instruments as powerful as yours. After thinking for a long time, I decided to refine a cloud that can cast water magic. Once it covers the sky, everyone below will be within the attack range." Liang Mangu's voice weakened as he spoke, "But it seems that there is not enough material, so I can only refine it to this size."
It's just barely enough to cover one person.
"Can it attack people?" Everyone stared at the small cloud.
"No, it won't even rain." Liang Mangu laughed dryly, "I originally wanted to sell it to Senior Brother Tailao so that I could help him irrigate the Xuan Garden, but unfortunately..."
At this time, Shen Yuntian suddenly made a loud thunderous sound, which scared Liang Mangu so much that he trembled.
But nothing happened afterwards, it just rang.
Everyone stared at him, "This?"
"...That's it. Sometimes there will be sudden thunder, but it's just thunder without rain." It will only scare its owner! It seems that I can only use it for myself.
Liang Mangu poked Shen Yuntian above his head and said, "It seems that it can only block the sun at present."
Everyone: “Oh——”
Bai Lu actually understood Liang Mangu's feelings very well, because he had also gone through a similar period when making alchemy and potions. "It does look like a semi-finished product. Can it be put back into the furnace and made again?"
"But it's only this big..." Liang Mangu looked around, "Can you guys think of something else that can be done?"
"Why don't we make the thunder louder and set the time for it to happen, so we can use it to wake people up, to get up, to meditate, or to remind them that it's time to practice." Meng Caiqing raised his hand and suggested.
"That's a bit useless, it still needs rain to be a good cloud." Bai Lu said, "The cloud doesn't rain because there is not enough water. Can't you add more water spirit essence into it?"
"My water element is not good enough." Liang Mangu muttered. He had not yet reached the level where he could control the five elements at will, so he mostly used the metal and wood elements.
"I'll do it!" A junior sister volunteered to "charge" the cloud. After it was filled with water spiritual energy, the cloud brewed for a while, and a drop of water fell on Liang Mangu's forehead, and then drop by drop, it really began to drizzle.
Liang Mangu let go of the control, and the cloud began to float here and there, and wherever it landed, drizzle began to fall.
Everyone looked up at the small cloud and laughed foolishly, "It's interesting."
The jade puppet also came to add tea to everyone in the drizzle. Bai Lu quickly covered the cup lid and said, "Don't do it yet. The rain will float in."
Bai Lu's eyes fell on Junior Brother Zhang's pills, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She asked, "Hey, can your blood-spitting pills be put in?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, "?"
Then they all said, "Quick, put it in!"
The junior fellow threw a blood-spitting pill into the cloud. After a few breaths, the drizzle falling from the cloud turned into water arrows, shooting down, leaving a row of small holes on the table.
"oh--"
Everyone cheered.
This is good, this one is very aggressive.
It turns out that unity is strength.
"Put more, put more, and see how heavy the shot can be." Liang Mangu was also excited. Moreover, putting blood-spitting pills in it would be a water arrow. Putting other things in it might have other effects?
Junior Brother Zhang immediately took out a handful of pills and put them in.
The water arrows continued to flow, and Liang Mangu guided the cloud to shoot outwards. He also tried to see how far he could fly to attack. He would recall them when he could vaguely hear cursing.
Wherever Shen Yuntian floated, the leaves and grass were shot with holes all over them, penetrating deep into the ground and even leaving marks on the stones.
When Shen Yuntian floated back after a circle, the water arrows under the clouds had turned into drizzle again.
"Are you out of ammunition?" When Bai Lu said this, everyone thought it was "pills" and no one thought there was anything wrong.
Bai Lu stretched her hand under the cloud and then felt the rain. "Battery life is still a problem."
The jade puppet who had finished refilling tea at some point but had not left suddenly said, "This rain is not right."
Everyone was startled and looked at the jade puppet who suddenly spoke in a casual tone.
Only Liang Mangu, whose head almost hit the table, shouted: "Spirit of the weapon!"
The Jade Puppet crossed his arms: "Hehe."
I don't know how long it has been lurking.
Bai Lu greeted him without any surprise: "Come on."
But thanks to the weapon spirit pointing it out, everyone realized that something was wrong. "Why is the rain water green?"
"Green? Could it be that someone accidentally put a Zhenzhen Peiyuan Pill in there?" The alchemy brother guessed it from the color.
"Really release it? I really feel that the spiritual energy is flowing faster." Bai Lu felt it carefully. He was quite sensitive to the increase of energy.
And there seemed to be some reaction on her body, her body was hot, her cheeks were slightly red, Bai Lu fanned herself with her hands, "Is your medicine normal... Why do I feel a little..."
Many plots from the novel suddenly popped up in Liang Mangu's mind. "This, this, won't have that kind of strange effect..."
Brother Bai was sprinkled with some medicine, but he looked like he was drunk.
"No, this medicine is called Huan Zhen Pei Yuan. Its main function is to help people find their true heart, return to their original state, and discard all distracting thoughts and disguises, so as to better communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." The junior brother explained.
"After we refined it, we didn't dare to eat it carelessly. After my senior brother ate one, he broke through a small barrier on the spot, but his true nature was exposed. He told everyone what was in his little storehouse, even how old he was when he wet the bed..."
Everyone: “…”
I couldn't help but move a little further away from Shen Yuntian...
Meng Caiqing hid directly at the door.
Such a poisonous pill?! Bai Lu still had some thinking ability and really wanted to shout for help! He didn't want to expose all his secrets!
However, the effect of the drug had completely taken effect. Bai Lu sat there, his face still slightly red, like after a drink. Under everyone's silent and terrified gaze, he reached out and took off his bun, letting his long black hair fall down, as casually as the day of the entrance trial.
Well, as expected, he still hates tying his hair up. It’s more comfortable to just let it hang like this, and it fits his mysterious wizard temperament. Why bother with being so bright?
Don't sit upright, just lean back lazily.
It seems... it's not that bad. Senior Brother Bai's true nature is revealed, and it's not much different from usual. This shows that Senior Brother Bai is indeed straightforward in his daily life!
"In that case, this is a rare opportunity..." Liang Mangu saw this and asked with a burning gaze, "Brother Bai, you can tell me what's in your heart now. Among all of our junior brothers and sisters, who do you like the most?"
Everyone: “…”
Even the spirit of the weapon said with disdain: "Why don't you ask whether you like your father or your mother?"
"Your question is too childish. Senior Brother Bai must like me. He gave me an extra piece of cake last time."
Junior Brother Zhang said leisurely: "This is not a torture method. We can't force the question. We need to guide it."
"Bai Lu, how did you defeat the blood corpse?" The spirit of the weapon pressed the table and asked curiously, "Did you have any adventures? Is it related to your green eyes? Tell me quickly."
But Bai Lu laughed for no reason, stood up, and imitated the puppet possessed by the spirit of the weapon, putting his hands on the table and sweeping around.
Ask, he can't help it, he wants to tell a secret that no one knows!
Everyone became a little nervous when seeing this. Uh, is Senior Brother Bai Lu going to say something outrageous?
Should I keep it a secret for him? Should I pretend it never happened? What should I say?
"I've wanted to say this for a long time, actually!!" Bai Lu said in a loud voice, "I! am! a! wizard!!"
Everyone was so tense that they held their breath: "?"
Bai Lu said mysteriously: "You know, I'm from another world——"
Spirit of the weapon: “???”
I don’t know!
What on earth did you say?!
Liang Mangu was originally a little nervous for Bai Lu, but now he was dumbfounded. What was going on? When it came to the key points, you interrupted with dialect, which no one could understand.
"Is this what they call Yanjing?" Meng Caiqing asked incredulously, "Why does it feel like he's talking in his sleep?"
"This is not in vain..."
The weapon spirit was even more confused: "Are you playing tricks on me again——"
When Qiusuo received the letter and took Bailu back, Bailu was still speaking Latin to the spirit of the weapon.
Leaked, but encrypted conversations.
The spirit of the weapon simply covered its ears in protest.
"Young Master." Qiusuo called him.
Bai Lu poked Qiusuo and said, "Hey, Brother Ai."
Seeking: “?”
"Ahem, Senior Brother Bai accidentally took a pill and there are some side effects... Just think of him as someone who drank too much. He'll be fine after a good sleep." Liang Mangu saw that Bai Lu, who was experiencing the side effects of the pill, had also absorbed a lot of spiritual energy and probably needed to go back to digest it.
Qiusuo explored and found that there was indeed a lot of spiritual energy in the young master's body, so he led him back.
After Bai Lu finished her chatter, she felt tired and a little sleepy. With her head down, she was pulled back to Dianmei Peak by Qiusuo like a sleepwalker, leaving the spirit of the weapon jumping in the same place.
…
When Bai Lu returned to Shuchun Garden, Huo Xuexiang noticed that he seemed to be in a bad state, and called out from the corridor, "Bai Lu?"
"Master, good evening—" Bai Lu took a few steps forward, her steps a little unsteady.
Huo Xuexiang stretched out his arm, trying to support Bai Lu, and tilted his head towards Qiusuo.
Qiusuo said calmly, "Young Master used the medicine carelessly, which may have some bias. It is said that his true nature will be revealed."
Huo Xuexiang nodded and looked at Bai Lu's appearance. Her hair was just loose... He didn't like to tie her hair up.
It's not so bad. Although his disciple is usually playful and naughty, he actually knows his limits.
Bai Lu stared at Huo Xuexiang blankly for two seconds. What did the Boluan Sect Master say? Master and disciple are like blood. This is his relative in the world of immortal cultivation.
Um!
Bai Lu ignored the other party's outstretched hand, rushed to the middle, and hugged Huo Xuexiang without any gap.
Huo Xuexiang naturally had no choice but to dodge, but he didn't know what Bai Lu was going to do, so he caught him and turned his head.
The next moment, Bai Lu pressed her soft face against his right cheek and made a loud sound. Then she pressed her soft face against his left cheek and made a loud sound. Then she said in a calm and tired tone, "I'm going to sleep now. Good night, Master."
