Chapter 727 The Return of the Gods 11
"Palace Master?"
Wan Chaolin's face, which had been flushed with anger, calmed down instantly. He took out the voice stone and said something to the person opposite him.
Quan Jiu was standing far away and couldn't hear the conversation clearly, but he could see the subtle changes in the expressions of the elders.
She raised her eyebrows, guessing the identity of the person opposite her. She glanced in the air but did not see any portrait projection.
It turns out that this portrait projection can be turned off.
The communication time passed in the blink of an eye, and Wan Chaolin quickly hung up the voice stone. The elders rarely stopped arguing and sat back in their chairs.
Wan Chaolin handed the Saint Jade Token to Quan Jiu:
"Luan'er, take it. From now on, this is yours."
Quan Jiu was already prepared to select the spirit core fragments again to form seals, but she didn't expect that the identity of the saint would come so easily. She became even more curious about the identity of the person on the other side of the sound stone.
………
On a high pavilion not far away.
White clouds float and smoke lingers.
The fairy boy Xiaojue looked at the man in front of him cautiously.
The man leaned forward slightly, his hands resting on the redwood railing, his ten fingers clasping the railing tightly, and in his left hand he was holding a newly hung sound stone.
After following him for more than seven hundred years, Xiao Jue still couldn't figure out his joys and sorrows. The man in front of her was like a deep ocean; throwing a stone into it wouldn't stir up any waves.
Just like now.
He felt that he seemed to have lost his composure, but the man's back was as calm as ever, and even the tone of his command just now was as indifferent and calm as ever.
"Master, do you want to go back to the temple?"
The man closed his eyes slightly and did not turn around. As if Xiaojue thought he would not answer, he said softly:
"……Need not."
His voice is deep but clear, and when he speaks it is bright and magnetic, like the sound of a stone chime striking jade, so beautiful and moving that it is beyond words.
Xiao Jue usually followed him to cultivate his character and meditate in seclusion. He often did not see him for several years. What he looked forward to most every day was to hear a few words from him, but his master spoke very little. He had secretly noticed that he could sometimes only say three sentences in a month.
Xiao Jue looked at the man's back and stood quietly by the side, but she began to feel curious about the Saint Lady Chenluan.
Anyone who can make the master make an exception must not be simple.
He was so focused on his thoughts that he stood behind the man and did not notice that his eyes suddenly opened and there was a hint of red.
………
Quan Jiu took advantage of the chaos and picked up a few pieces of spirit core fragments.
She wanted to find a place where there was no one, try to enter a state of unity between man and nature, and figure out who the two men who suddenly appeared were.
But this time, she failed without any warning.
The sea of spiritual consciousness was empty and pure white. Not even a single bird feather could be seen, let alone a human figure.
Quan Jiu was a little unwilling and tried several times, but got the same result every time.
"Forget it, let's try again another day."
She became the only saint in the temple, and her status rose rapidly. The maids who originally served the other three saints all became her exclusive guests.
Quan Jiu came to the Queen Mother of Wei, who had set up a banquet. When she saw her arrival, the woman smiled kindly and waved to her.
"Luan'er, come here."
Quan Jiu had seen her other side, and his love for her remained unchanged.
Queen Mother Wei offered her a seat, letting her sit on her left. Looking at the palace full of civil and military officials and the sect disciples not far away, she took Quan Jiu's hand and placed her moist palm on the back of her hand.
"When I sent Luan'er to the temple, I just thought that she was weak and wanted to go there to cultivate her body and mind and enjoy a leisurely life. But now, I never thought that she would actually become the only saint in the temple..."
The wet and sticky palm covered the back of her hand, and Quan Jiu felt nauseous, as if a snake was wrapped around the back of her hand and kept wriggling.
After she sat down, she saw that there were many disciples from immortal sects and even envoys from neighboring countries. In just a moment, she understood Queen Mother Wei's plan.
Use her to scare the enemy and at the same time enhance the status of Wei State in the Cangkong Continent.
As one of the largest forces in the Sky Continent, the Temple has always been aloof and ignored the sects that came to curry favor with it.
Logically speaking, the sect disciples present would not look down on an ordinary small country like Wei. The people are ordinary people, and they can destroy a small city with a wave of their hands. But if Quanjiu was with them, everything would be different...
Flattering words poured in, and Queen Mother Wei accepted the gifts with a smile.
Quan Jiu sat beside her all night like a mascot.
When the palace banquet was over, Queen Dowager Wei walked into the palace and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
She stared at Quan Jiu, who was silent, with a hint of a smile in her eyes:
"Luan'er, you are now the only Saint in the temple. Liu Yao and the others can no longer hold you back. What you couldn't do before, you can now do for your aunt, right?"
Quan Jiu's face was calm: "I can help you, but I need the mother Gu."
Queen Mother Wei nodded. "That's easy. As long as you get what I want, I'll immediately remove the poison from you. Luan'er, we are blood relatives after all. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want to use such means to force you to submit..."
Quan Jiu still had an indifferent expression:
"Luan'er understands."
Queen Mother Wei narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Go back to the temple. I won't keep you here any longer. Remember to be careful in everything you do."
Quan Jiu: “Yeah.”
She walked out of the Empress Dowager's palace, but did not leave the palace immediately. Instead, she returned to the imperial study and checked all the secret compartments in the study.
As she expected, there was no trace of the mother Gu.
Queen Mother Wei was cautious and she suspected that she would place the mother Gu somewhere where it could be seen often.
She seemed to be acting as a "mascot" obediently tonight, but she secretly looked at the Queen Mother Wei. She did not have a container that could hold the insect, so the mother insect was definitely not on her.
There is no place in the study, and there is no place on me, so there is only one place left.
Bedroom.
Quan Jiu: "This old witch is very cautious. Her bedroom is guarded by immortal cultivators every day. She even invited a mechanical engineer to design the bedroom. If she wants to steal the mother Gu without anyone noticing, she has to plan carefully."
System: "Fortunately, she is just an ordinary person. If she were a cultivator, it would be even more troublesome."
Quan Jiu thought about what Queen Mother Wei asked her to do and sneered: "Do you think she doesn't want to?"
After leaving the palace, she thought of 001 who had suddenly disappeared and asked:
"Any news on 001?"
"Still no." The system's tone was filled with worry.
It has never been out of touch with Master 001 for so long.
………
Dungeon.
The sky was dark and there was no sunlight.
The air was foul, the ambiguous and confusing street lights dyed the smoke red and green, and from time to time, the sounds of fighting and laughter could be heard from the streets.
Occasionally, a drunkard passing by would have two rhino horns on his head, and would hold in his arms a sexy witch with a wasp waist and a plump butt. The two would kiss in the street as if no one was around.
All the demons and monsters gathered together.
