Chapter 280: Flowers in Bloom Must Be Picked

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The chaos in Huishi City intensified, and the patrol guards under the command of the demon Shi Hu were increasingly strict in their pursuit of the Jing family. Almost every few days, patrol guards would check every mansion, inn, restaurant and other places, especially the places where humans lived, and no place would be spared.

Shen Jing was disturbed dozens of times during his peaceful meditation.

This made him not enter the Gate of Strange Beasts again, and at the same time he had the idea of ​​leaving this place. However, although Greystone City was not sealed off, no human cultivators could leave in secret, and they were all intercepted.

After knowing this.

He couldn't help feeling helpless.

He was still implicated by the brother and sister of the Jing family.

Of course, Shen Ping also knew that in reality, regardless of the affairs of the Jing brothers and sisters, it was caused by the rapid decline in the overall strength and status of the human race. If it was the heyday of the human race, Shi Hu of the demon race would not dare to act like this no matter how powerful he was.

Get up and leave the room.

Looking at Jing Huilan and Jing Yan who were kneeling on the ground again, he looked thoughtful.

Over the past two months.

The two of them are indeed very sincere.

And now the situation in Graystone City is the same. After much deliberation, Shen Ping decided to keep her for now. After all, the divination skill that Jing Huilan is good at is indeed what he needs. Whether in the underground palace or in the future when she goes to the place where the immortal way is prosperous, this skill is very useful.

"Two fellow Daoists from the Jing family, I can take you in temporarily, but I cannot help you with your family's affairs. However, if you are in danger, I can help you... Of course, the premise of taking you in is the conditions that Daoist Jing mentioned before."

Shen Ping said calmly.

The meaning of his words was very clear.

There is nothing to hide. In fact, at his current level of cultivation, he no longer needs to be shy about some things.

Jing Huilan couldn't help but purse her thin red lips, her fair cheeks blushed a little, and her earlobes were even redder, but she still immediately said respectfully: "Thank you, Senior Shen, for taking me in. I will serve you wholeheartedly."

His brother Jing Yan clenched his fists secretly, but he did not forget what his sister said before, so he did not say anything. He only blamed himself in his heart for his low cultivation level and inability to protect his sister.

"In that case, come inside."

Shen Ping said something casually and went back to the room.

Jing Huilan stood up.

His brother looked at his sister, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Jing Huilan moved her lips and said, "This is my choice, please believe me, brother!"

Jing Yan sighed.

soon.

As the door closed.

He gritted his teeth and turned away.

And in the side room.

Shen Ping sat upright on a wooden chair, looking at Jing Huilan, who was standing at the door. She was wearing a emerald green gauze dress with a slender waist. Although her figure was petite, the curves held up by the fabric were like a towering building, which was admirable.

"Come closer."

He spoke.

Jing Huilan's cheeks became even redder, and the shyness in the corners of her eyes could no longer be concealed. She bit her red lips lightly and walked slowly towards Shen Ping.

Smelling the increasingly fragrant breeze.

Shen Ping subconsciously thought that this was the elegant scent of white orchid, which was very light but refreshing. If he had not studied spices, he would never have been able to tell whether it was body odor or spices.

"Closer."

A voice sounded.

Jing Huilan's body trembled slightly. She forced herself to move forward again, until she could clearly feel the warm breath emanating from the figure in front of her eyes. Then she heard a voice again in her ears: "I wonder how many years have you been practicing Daoist Brother Jing?"

She tugged at her sleeves and replied weakly, "Reply, reply to Senior Shen, I have been practicing for nearly two hundred years."

He has cultivated to the late Golden Core stage in the last two hundred years, which is definitely considered as an extremely good aptitude in the cultivation world. If he has the chance, he might be able to condense an Infant in about three hundred years.

A smile appeared on Shen Ping's face. He stretched out his hand and held the soft and boneless white jade hand. Feeling the trembling transmitted from the skin, he pulled hard without being moved, and immediately the fragrance rushed into his arms.

"Friend Jing, now let me see how excellent the spiritual roots of nearly two hundred years are..."

His physique was strengthened by the blood and power of strange beasts as well as elixirs. Even the robes were like paper in his hands.

As my palms touched the warm feeling.

Jing Huilan's whole body tensed up, but her voice became even weaker, "Shen, Senior Shen, please have mercy on me..."

The words haven't finished yet.

The Vajra body felt the long-lost warmth.

When flowers are in bloom, pick them.

Don't wait until there are no flowers left to break the branches.

The flower buds that have been there for nearly two hundred years are about to bloom.

Since Shen Ping had made his decision, he would not hesitate any longer. However, after all, this flower was like the first rain of blessing, so he did not make much effort as the rain stopped after just one time.

Looking at Jing Huilan who was about to fall apart.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There was no trace of guilt on his face.

Because he knew very well that although he said he would take him in, in reality if he was really discovered by the Stone Tiger of the Demon Clan, he would have to take action. The Stone Tiger of the Demon Clan was a great demon at the level of Refinement Void, and even a human at the level of Refinement Void would have to temporarily avoid him. Such a price would be very high for any cultivator.

Jing Huilan also knew this.

So she kept biting her lip as she went through her physical transformation.

"You and I will be Taoist companions from now on."

"Before you, I had other wives and concubines. I will introduce them to you later."

Shen Ping spoke calmly.

Jing Huilan was slightly pleased when she heard this. She believed in her divination skills, so she understood what he meant. After regaining some strength, she hurriedly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, thank you, Senior Shen!"

"From now on, you can just call me Fellow Daoist Shen."

After saying.

He walked straight into the quiet room.

After sitting down cross-legged.

He looked at the opened virtual panel.

really.

Added new virtualbox.

Glance away.

In one of the columns, a fortune teller is displayed.

The Beast Sutra involves hundreds of arts of immortality.

Naturally, there are also scriptures on the way of deduction.

However, he was now in the Dark Abyss and could no longer enter the Jiuzhou Tower for trials, but fortunately he was able to contact his master Lian Xuejin. Therefore, in the following time, he spent day and night with Jing Huilan, constantly improving his divination skills, while at the same time practicing the basic scriptures of the Beast Sutra.

Lian Xuejin did not reject Shen Ping's desire to learn the art of deduction. Instead, she agreed with him. "Every room in the Ascension Palace is unknown. If you can delve into the art of deduction, it will be of great help to you."

This is also the main reason why Shen Ping chose to take in the Jing brothers and sisters.

…

Five years passed in a flash.

For a Jindan cultivator, five years is only a tiny period of time in a lifespan of five hundred years. This is even more so for Graystone City, which has gone through tens of thousands of years. Almost nothing has changed. The only change is that the situation in the city has become worse for the human race. The demon Shi Hu, who has been unable to find the Jing brothers and sisters, almost turned the entire city upside down.

Under such strict investigation, even if the Jing brothers and sisters had special means, they would be exposed in the end. However, not long after picking the flowers, Shen Ping was lucky enough to obtain a special kind of beast spirit treasure in the room of the Ascension Palace in the Gate of Strange Beasts.

This beast spirit treasure is a jade pendant, which can change the aura of the cultivator to a certain extent, and can cover all living beings within a radius of several feet.

Shen Ping directly used it to change his own aura and that of the Jing brothers and sisters, simulating them to be cultivators from the demon clan. This was how he was able to avoid the sweeping consciousness of Shi Hu, a cultivator at the virtual level of the demon clan, and the strict inspections of the patrol guards.
