The next day, morning.
After coming out of Guan Ya's room, Zhang Yuanqing sat in the main seat in the restaurant and enjoyed a breakfast that combined Chinese and Western styles.
Beside him are Xie Lingxi and the Queen.
For the master, eating is more about satisfying the appetite; the nutrients contained in the food are not enough to satisfy the master's needs.
"Brother Yuanshi, you are worried about something." Xie Lingxi cut a piece of sausage for his brother.
Zhang Yuanqing said, "I'm wondering how to get a woman with a strong personality to make a decision that goes against her ancestors!"
Hearing this, Xie Lingxi asked cautiously, "Do you want that strong-willed woman to sleep with you?"
The Queen added, "Or give birth to a child?"
What kind of lewd words? Zhang Yuanqing chewed roasted intestines. "It's not about giving birth to a child, I just want to ask her to do something!"
Xie Lingxi silently gave up the idea of telling Sister Guan Ya about it, tilted his head and thought for a few seconds: "It depends on your relationship with that strong-willed woman."
Zhang Yuanqing: "I am her son born in her old age."
Disciple's son.
The Queen and Xie Lingxi were full of question marks on their faces.
"Having a child in old age? Then just beg him in a coquettish and cute way. Women have no principles towards the men they love and their sons." Xie Lingxi said.
Alas, the old man is almost immune to my cuteness and coquettishness, Zhang Yuanqing sighed.
He thought about it and found that there was no other way except playing the emotional card and the righteousness card.
In the Queen's impression, I am too greasy, so it doesn't make much sense to play the emotional card. If you want to play the righteousness card, let Yin Yao do it!
Zhang Yuanqing put down his chopsticks, snapped his fingers, and turned into a bright and magical starlight and left.
He immediately appeared in the bedroom on the second floor, took out Little Red Riding Hood and shook out Princess Yin Yao.
Zhang Yuanqing hugged the princess's cold shoulders and said earnestly: "Tell me the truth, how should I, a direct disciple of Daoshan, treat you?"
Hearing this, Yin Yao's delicate and beautiful face, expressionless, had scarlet and enchanting eyes that flickered.
She patted the Elvis speaker on her waist, which made a series of beeps and she laughed exaggeratedly: "Ahahaha, let's be frank and don't beat around the bush."
"Since you are so frank, I won't beat around the bush. Yin Yao, I want to plunder other people's spiritual essence to upgrade myself, and I need our master to help modify the pill formula. Please go and ask her for me." Zhang Yuanqing went straight to the point.
Yin Yao, the princess jumped away, raised her trumpet, and said confidently: "You treat me with indifference, meanness, and cruelty, worse than pigs and dogs. I, Yin Yao, hereby sever ties with you. From now on, you walk your own single-plank bridge, and I walk my own sunny path."
Zhang Yuanqing had expected this and sighed: "If that's the case, I'll keep this piece of Yin Jade Crystal for myself to digest."
As he spoke, a dark and oily crystal appeared in his palm. The negative energy it emitted caused the temperature in the room to drop, and the moisture in the air condensed into white frost on the tables and chairs.
Princess Yin Yao stared straight at the crystal stone, unable to look away.
A few seconds later, she raised the trumpet again and said righteously, "I am willing to die as a disciple of Sanda Mountain!"
Chang Yuanqing nodded with satisfaction: "Loyalty cannot be expressed in words, loyalty cannot be expressed in words!"
Mohist Mechanical City.
Golden ripples covered the blue sky, and soon, a ray of golden light broke through the barrier and descended.
At the foot of the mountain, the Three Mountain Goddesses, in fluttering feathered robes and as cold and ethereal as a fairy, descended. Her bright eyes swept over the two disciples and she asked in a cold and pleasant voice, "Why do you want to summon me as your master?"
Zhang Yuanqing looked worried, and Chang sighed, "Master, is there any chance for you to find a human immortal in the spiritual realm?"
The Lady of Sandashan shook her head slightly: "The power of the scorching sun is in a certain instance, but it has not yet been opened. I am contacting my old subordinates, and we will compete for the sun once the instance is opened."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment: "Shi Dian still has old subordinates?"
Without waiting for the response from Lady Sandashan, Princess Yinyao raised her snow-white chin and slapped her horse, "Master is the princess of the emperor, and also serves as the head of Chunyang Sect, so naturally he has old subordinates."
“Don’t mention the title of Chunyang Sect Leader, it’s unlucky!” Zhang Yuanqing spat, then he remembered that Lady Sandaoshan was a princess of the Song Dynasty and lived during the heyday of the dynasty.
Zhang Yuanqing sighed and said, "Master, during this period, the evil ways have become more rampant, and the battle between good and evil is happening every day. Civilians have been tragically affected, and nine out of ten houses are empty. Abandoned babies and orphans are everywhere, and the roadside is filled with the remains of those who died in the war."
"Recently, I have been working hard to hone myself and improve my realm, trying to support the righteous and suppress the evildoers. Unfortunately, my disciples' cultivation is weak, and I am willing but unable to do anything."
When Lady Sandaoshan heard this, she frowned repeatedly, and Zhang Yuanqing silently gave Yin Yao a look.
Princess Yinyao understood what he meant and raised her trumpet high: "Master, please join us for the sake of all people in the world."
Zhang Yuanqing said, "The demigods in the outside world restrain each other and rarely take action. Master, you are the peak master and a rare Sun-Wandering God in the world. There is no one like you."
"If you come out, the courts of the world will rejoice"
The Lady of Sandaoshan glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Just say what you want to say!"
Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head and said, "I have recently acquired a magical skill, and I am willing to take the risk for the benefit of the people of the world. Please help me, Master."
After saying that, he handed over the Sancai Dan recipe that he had recorded in advance. When Lady Daoshan took it and looked at it, she flew into a rage. Her plain face was filled with anger, and her dark eyebrows were raised. "Asshole, you dare to practice this unorthodox technique. I will expel you from your family."
Her Sandaoshan Niangniang Temple was destroyed by similar evil magic.
Princess Yin Yao bowed her head and said, "Master, the law does not distinguish between good and evil, only the human heart can distinguish between good and evil. Junior brother does not want to rely on this law to practice, but the situation forces him to do so. I, Yin Yao, guarantee with my life that he will never abuse this law..."
Before he could finish his words, the old man said coldly: "Your life is not enough to guarantee it."
The implication is that you are worthless.
Princess Yin Yao was speechless for a moment, thinking that the older she got, the wiser she became. She had prepared ten lines, but before she could finish one, her master interrupted her.
"Master..." Zhang Yuanqing sighed
"I just want to do my part for the people of the world. You want to reach the realm of human immortals, so I can't force you to come out. Senior Sister Yin Yao is afraid of death and can't be relied on. In our lineage, only I can do my little bit for the righteous path."
"I use evil magic to improve my realm, not relying on unorthodox methods. It is because of the general situation that I am forced to do so. I will definitely not fall into the evil path."
The beautiful and refined face of the Lady of the Three Dao Mountains was covered with frost as she said coldly, "My master also thought so back then. Every fallen Daoist has an unreasonable self-confidence, always thinking that they are special and that they can resist temptation and erosion. In the end, without exception, they all sink."
"I believe that your original intention is to serve the country and the people, but I cannot watch you fall into the abyss, especially since I opened this door for you with my own hands."
First, the master fell into the evil way, and then his disciples practiced evil arts. Goddess Sandaoshan was most sensitive to such things.
Princess Yin Yao said hurriedly: "That's why I want Master to improve the recipe and reduce the erosion to a minimum."
The eyes of the Sandashan Goddess turned cold: "Do you have the right to interrupt me when I'm talking to him?"
Princess Yin Yao nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Yuanqing sighed and lowered his head and said, "Master, I understand your idea."
"Master, the head of Chunyang Sect is not bound by the merit points and kills innocent people indiscriminately. He hates you to the core, but he dares not enter the spiritual realm to cause trouble for you. So he teamed up with the evil demons to target disciples everywhere. I had no choice but to take this risk."
"Alas, the evil ways are rampant now, causing great suffering to all living beings. As the only living disciple of the Pure Yang Sect, and as your last disciple, I am willing to go through fire and water for the righteous way. Perhaps this farewell will be forever, so I hope Master will take care of himself."
After saying this, he kowtowed vigorously, took back the recipe without even looking back, held Princess Yin Yao's shoulders, and left the spiritual realm.
Fujiawan Villa.
Zhang Yuanqing said worriedly: "Will it be okay if we do this?
The lines and expressions he just said were all based on the script discussed with Princess Yin Yao.
The script was planned by Yin Yao. Princess Yin Yao sat on the bed, crossed her legs, her round buttocks supporting her light-colored jeans. She raised her trumpet eyes and said confidently, "Master admires you very much. A woman has no principles for the man she likes, her son, and her disciple."
This sounds so familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere before, Zhang Yuanqing complained.
"The most important thing is that when she woke up from the spiritual realm, she was alone and lonely. She had no relatives except us." Princess Yin Yao raised her chin proudly.
"Our only two disciples are going to die for the righteousness of the world. Even though she appears indifferent, she must be very happy in her heart. She will not be willing to let us die, so she will definitely look at the recipe."
"Then we will make an assessment. If we find that most of the erosion and pollution can be avoided, we will compromise. Don't worry. I have followed Master for so many years and I am very familiar with her character. Master is soft-hearted and does not take hard measures. It is best to retreat and appeal to her emotions."
Zhang Yuanqing added: "But we relied on the isolation of the spiritual realm to observe the stars and lied to her, saying that the outside world has been devastated. If we are discovered, the master will tear us apart."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded in relief: "Elvis speaker, did you record it?"
Princess Yin Yao's heart sank.
Afternoon.
The cafe opposite the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau.
Li Dongze held the coffee cup in one hand and rubbed the cane with the other. "We checked the file entry clerks, file managers, and special agents transferred to the Public Security Bureau. None of them knew when the missing file was deleted. They didn't even have any impression of it."
“How come…” Chen Yuanjun frowned, and the already obvious wrinkles on his face became even deeper.
"Indeed not!" Li Dongze shook his head and said, "I shouldn't be wrong. After all, the spies in the Public Security Bureau are not protected by Taiyin."
"Blessing from the Moon?" Chen Yuanjun asked doubtfully.
Li Dongze waved his hand, "This is not important. Anyway, no one in your Public Security Bureau clerks knows about this file. There are two possibilities. One, the person who recorded the file is not a clerk, but a member of the action team. Two, the person who recorded the file has resigned or died."
Chen Yuanjun disagreed with his view. "First of all, the action team does not accept reports of crimes? They are not responsible for data entry. Since the file has been deleted, it means that the staff who originally entered the file did not think there was anything wrong with it. It was someone from the Public Security Bureau who found the file afterwards and deleted it.
So, data entry clerks do exist.
Secondly, in this accident, those who died in the Sheriff's Department were all armed security guards, and the clerks had hidden themselves in advance, so there were no casualties.
Finally, from the beginning of last year to this year, no one resigned from the Sheriff’s Department.
Li Dongze shrugged. "Then there is only one possibility. This missing persons list is not from this year, but from the past."
Chen Yuanjun knocked on the table: "This is even more impossible. Lei Yibing disappeared in April this year. We all witnessed the disappearance with our own eyes."
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel something is very strange." Li Dongze looked thoughtful.
"I seem to have forgotten something!" He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he said, "There is indeed something wrong with Lei Yibing's disappearance. It is likely that our group is involved. I will help follow up later."
Chen Yuanjun asked: "When will we follow up? How will we follow up?"
Li Dongze said helplessly, "Oh, my God, when I said follow up, I meant to slow down for a while. Recently, there are so many cults like bamboo shoots after spring rain, they are popping up one after another. How can we have time to investigate him?"
Chen Yuanjun took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "There won't be cases of evil cults every day, so it won't affect us. We will check the mines at one place every day and add an hour of overtime. Maybe we can find out the truth in a few days."
"Oh my God, you must be sent by the devil to the world. You can talk about overtime so calmly and easily."
Li Dongze sighed and said, "It's easy to find a breakthrough. If someone reports the case, there will be a file. So who would go to the Public Security Bureau to report Lei Yibing's disappearance?"
Chen Yuanjun shook his head and said, "I asked his family, and they didn't report it to the police."
"Just because they don't remember doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" Li Dongze shrugged. "In our group, there are plenty of ways to make people forget something..." When he said this, his expression suddenly froze.
Also in the afternoon, Master Chunyang met the owner of the mobile phone number in a private room of a teahouse.
This is a middle-aged man with a thin face, a stern expression, deep nasolabial folds and slightly drooping corners of the forehead, giving people a stern feeling that he is difficult to deal with.
The middle-aged man in a suit and tie holding a briefcase looked at the plump and beautiful waitress wearing a cheongsam.
"She can't hear anything."
The head of Chunyang asked the waitress to pour tea, and looked at the middle-aged man wantonly, and said, "Are you an official swordsman? I heard that Songhai just had a major physical examination last year, and used the rule-based prop-Tiger Talisman. How did you hide the Tiger Talisman?"
The middle-aged man said coldly: "I was transferred to Songhai after the moral value disappeared. I was promoted to a senior deacon by the former head of Kangyang District and was in charge of Kangyang Chaomen District. I am currently working under him and happen to be in charge of Kangyang District."
The head of Chunyang Sect nodded slightly and said, "Did you bring what I wanted?"
The middle-aged man took a seat, opened his briefcase and pulled out a thick stack of information. "I have collected all the information you asked for. The Great Protector asked me to help you with all my strength. I have selected thirty people whose life experiences are not normal."
The head of Chunyang took the information port, quickly scanned it and pulled out one of the sheets, Shen Jin said: "Last April, he disappeared from the dormitory of Hangzhou University and his whereabouts are still unknown."
The middle-aged man glanced at the information and said, "Although he is a missing person, the authorities have basically confirmed that he is a spiritual realm traveler. He disappeared because he entered the dungeon and has not appeared since. He is very likely to have died in the dungeon."
"This is the only person in the spiritual realm that can be confirmed in the data. He and Yuanshi Tianzun both graduated from Kangyang Middle School, but he was not in the same class as Yuanshi Tianzun. The time he disappeared and the time when Yuanshi Tianzun became a spiritual realm practitioner are not much different. Judging from the time, the probability that this person is related to Yuanshi Tianzun is not high."
However, Master Chunyang still put the information away and pushed it to the bottom.
At night, Zhang Yuanqing entered the gang copy "Mo Zong Mechanical City" alone, and then saw that the paper recording the pill recipe was still there, emitting a faint golden light in the dark.
"The first formation is used when refining the elixir and is engraved on the furnace wall. The second formation is engraved on the furnace body after the elixir is made."
The Queen really loves me. Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed and looked at it carefully, memorizing the formation firmly in his mind. A golden flame was emitted, and a touch of ash was blown away by the wind.
Returning to reality, Zhang Yuanqing sat at the table and pondered. Now that he had the recipe for the elixir, all he lacked was the "herbal medicine" that could help him quickly increase his experience points.
There are only a handful of gods today, either in Taiyi Sect or in Dark Night Rose.
The former cannot be hunted, and the latter is difficult to hunt, and may even be outwitted by Lingtuo.
Gang copies like the White Tiger Soldiers' mostly involve Taiyin and Xingguan.
"Either my single-player copy arrives quickly, or I enter Taiyimen's copy. There is no third choice! Well, let me try the recipe first." Zhang Yuanqing picked up his phone and called Fu Qingyang.
"Boss, I got the recipe for the elixir and need a star official to do the experiment. Please help me pick a copy with a star official among the White Tiger Soldiers. The lower the difficulty level, the better."
The recipe for the Three Talents Pill requires the spirit, soul, and qi, and it must be a living person. Yin objects cannot be used to make the pill.
Many of the copies of the White Tiger Soldiers are war copies. War means there are many experts, which must include other professions. It is impossible for an army to be composed entirely of scouts.
