Chapter 248 Deliberately Borrowing Swords
Li Qing was tied up all over and was originally in a panic. But when he saw Gu Xuan using his soul control technique, he became much calmer.
As the fingers pinched out, the blood beads turned into curved blood rays, floating into the center of Li Qing's eyebrows like snowflakes.
Li Qing's eyes gradually became confused, and then a faint blood light flashed away in his pupils before returning to normal.
Having mastered the soul control technique, Li Qing stared blankly at Gu Xuan, his eyes as dull as a wooden sculpture.
The bald-tailed dog is pulling the cart by itself and has no idea what's going on behind it. Even if it knew, it probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
Gu Xuan asked expressionlessly: "What's the girl's name?"
Li Qing said dullly: "My name is Li Qing, as I said just now."
The alley was not long, and the dog cart passed by quickly. Since it knew its destination, the bald-tailed dog walked straight towards the Zhiwei Pavilion, not very fast.
After passing the alley, there is another main street with many pedestrians.
Seeing that Li Qing was indeed charged with the soul, Gu Xuan immediately asked: "Miss, did you have any evil intentions when you asked me to go to the Taste Pavilion?"
"No." Li Qing blurted out without any emotion, "Senior Brother Lu wants to talk to the Master."
"Um?"
Gu Xuan controlled Li Qing's soul just in case, but he didn't expect that the other party had an ulterior motive, so he couldn't help but ask questions.
"Is that Senior Brother Lu in the Flavor Pavilion? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Qing said: "Senior Brother Lu came out later than the Master, so he should still be behind. He wants to borrow the Six-tone Sword from the Master."
"Oh?" Gu Xuan's expression changed, "Senior Brother Lu, are you wearing a silver robe today?"
Li Qing said: "Yes."
Gu Xuan did not ask any more questions, and instead sent out his spiritual message: "There are many people here, so it is not suitable to control the soul for too long. What do you think, senior?"
Wang Mang responded: "At present, we can only confirm that you are being targeted by the silver-robed monk. It is not yet known whether the other party has malicious intentions. It is indeed not suitable to control the soul for too long here. You might as well remove the soul control first and communicate with this woman before making any calculations."
Gu Xuan nodded, and immediately made a finger gesture, and a tiny ray of light penetrated into Li Qing's eyebrows.
The chain of emptiness disappeared on its own, and Li Qing's eyes regained their vitality, glaring at Gu Xuan angrily: "Master, what did you just do?"
"Why did Miss Li ask knowingly?" Gu Xuan's expression did not change, "When traveling in the world, you must be on guard against others. In my eyes, the Taste Pavilion is the same as a trap."
Li Qing raised her eyebrows slightly: "The master used the soul control technique, so he must have learned the whole story."
Gu Xuandao: "I only know that Senior Brother Lu participated in the auction and did not bid for the Liuyin Sword, but he wanted to borrow the sword from me, so you instigated me to go to the Taste Pavilion."
"Is this all what I said?" Li Qing stretched out a finger and pointed at herself. Seeing Gu Xuan nod his head, he thought thoughtfully, "It turns out that someone is controlling the soul. I really can't remember clearly."
Gu Xuan nodded and pointed to the dog cart with one hand: "This matter needs to be discussed, stop now."
Li Qing quickly patted the bald tail of the bald-tailed dog: "Little dog, stop."
The bald-tailed dog walked a few more steps and parked the convertible under a tree on the street.
Li Qing turned half of his body and stared straight at Gu Xuan: "I will settle the accounts with you later for my soul being charged. Now you can just tell me whether you are going or not?"
Gu Xuan chuckled: "I don't even know the whole story, how can I agree hastily?"
Li Qing frowned: "But it's a long story. Why don't we go to Ziwei Pavilion and eat while we talk. Senior Brother Lu told me in advance that he won't come so soon."
Gu Xuanluo thought about it and did not refuse: "That's fine."
“That’s pretty much it.
"Li Qing turned around and shouted, "Little dog, let's go, Zhiwei Pavilion."
"Wow!" The bald-tailed dog spread its hooves and moved forward immediately.
Gu Xuandao: "Miss Li, I just controlled the soul for a short time. Although I didn't ask too many questions, I can infer that Senior Brother Lu and you had a premeditated plan. How did you premeditate it? Please tell the truth."
Li Qing said eloquently: "I met Senior Brother Lu yesterday and learned that he was going to bid for the Liuyin Sword that he had lost in a bet, so he told him about the Master. After hearing this, Senior Brother Lu deliberately asked the Master to borrow the sword, so he let him
I cooperate, that’s all.”
Without waiting for Gu Xuan's reply, Li Qing continued: "Senior Brother Lu should have no ill intentions, otherwise there is no need to ask me to cooperate, because he has Xuchen Butterfly, so he can find a hiding place and directly kill people and seize the treasure."
Gu Xuan murmured loudly: "It turns out that Senior Brother Lu is the Senior Brother Jia you mentioned that day. He only borrowed the sword, not asked for it. Do you know what happened?"
"I know, I know, but it concerns the secrets of our sect, so I can't tell you. I hope the Master can forgive me." Li Qing paused for a moment, "Master, please stop controlling your soul, or I won't be able to spare you this time."
Gu Xuan smiled slightly, as if he didn't care: "With your identity and cultivation as a girl, if you dare to drive alone in this city, you must have some support."
Li Qing suddenly turned around: "Master, does he know my identity?"
"True disciple of Jianming Sect, last time you..." Gu Xuan suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that you are the disciple or grandson of the great elder of Jianming Sect?"
Li Qing glanced at Gu Xuan for a moment and laughed: "Master guessed it right, the master is none other than Master Wan Jian."
Wang Mang said: "Master Wan Jian is at the peak of the Dharma Realm and his combat power is outstanding. He can challenge Dharma Realm in a single fight."
Gu Xuan was a little surprised and said tentatively: "The most powerful means for a girl to rely on is the talisman."
"No." Li Qing took out a light cyan jade talisman from his arms, "The jade talisman contains the master's sword spirit, which has the same effect as the Dharma phase distraction."
Gu Xuan secretly said: "Senior, what is the Sword God?"
Wang Mang said: "That is the unique secret technique of Wan Jian Zhenren. It can be used to divide the spirit like a law. This woman needs to crush the jade talisman before the sword god can stay, and it can only stay for a quarter of an hour. Knead.
In front of the Broken Jade Talisman, the Sword God cannot sense the situation in the outside world."
Seeing Gu Xuan deep in thought, Li Qing put away the jade talisman and turned around: "Although the Master controls my soul, I also concealed it before, even if it's even."
Gu Xuandao: "Miss Li, continue to talk about Senior Brother Lu."
Li Qing said slowly: "Senior Brother Lu asked me not to mention the matter of borrowing the sword. He will suddenly appear in the Flavor Pavilion, pretend to meet by chance, then take the opportunity to talk, and finally offer to borrow the sword. Since the Master already knows, I don't know what to do.
?”
Gu Xuan said solemnly: "I'm just worried that Senior Brother Lu will not be able to repay the loan."
Li Qing smiled and said: "Senior Brother Lu has a trustworthy character. Before borrowing the sword, he will definitely leave a heavy treasure as collateral."
"I only need the mother-child sword, not the heavy treasure at all." Gu Xuan smiled slightly, "In addition to Senior Brother Lu's personality, there are also other reasons why the Six-note Sword cannot be returned, such as the Six-note Sword being damaged, or Senior Brother Lu's death."
"That makes sense." Li Qing rubbed his lower lip with his upper teeth, obviously thinking, "If this is really the case, I will ask the Master for a set of Zimu Swords and give them directly to the Master. How about this?"
"The girl's words came from the bottom of her heart, which shows her sincerity. I also want to agree immediately, but it is Senior Brother Lu who borrowed the sword. The matter must be discussed with Senior Brother Lu before we can make a final decision."
Because she is young and looks like a girl next door, petite and cute, Li Qing appears harmless to humans and animals and is very friendly. Gu Xuan only calls her girl, but she is as meticulous as dust.
Annual cultivation is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Li Qing turned around and smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Lu is named Lu Shan. The Master's words sound impeccable. Is it because he is worried about Master's sword god?"
"Just a normal reply." Gu Xuan chuckled, "I know a little about your father's sword god. If you really want to take action, you won't even have a chance to crush the jade talisman."
Li Qing didn't respond. The dog cart moved forward slowly, and the scenery on both sides kept passing by.
Gu Xuan silently pondered Li Qing's words and asked secretly: "Senior, can you discover the Xuchen Butterfly?"
Wang Mang said: "I didn't notice it at all before. After this woman mentioned the Xuchen Butterfly, I kept locking my telekinesis on your body surface. Only then did I discover the clue. Sure enough, there was a Xuchen Butterfly lurking in your hair."
In the early years, Gu Xuan had heard Wang Mang mention Xuchen Butterfly's surveillance ability and allowed the butterfly to lurk.
Not long after, the dog cart stopped at the entrance of Ziwei Pavilion. This was a five-story wooden building with a secular style. The name of the pavilion was written in oracle bones.
Li Qing waved his hand: "Little dog, go and stay in the corner."
"Woof woof!" the bald-tailed dog protested dissatisfiedly and squatted at the base of the wall of the Taste Pavilion.
The first and second floors of Ziwei Pavilion are scattered tables, and the third to fifth floors are private dining rooms. It is not the right time for dining, so there are not many customers.
Li Qing was obviously a regular customer and was familiar with the dishes. After telling the waiter the names of a few dishes, he took Gu Xuan to a private room on the fourth floor.
Ziwei Pavilion is located next to a creek. Gu Xuan sits in the window seat. As long as he turns his head, he can enjoy the scenery of the creek.
They did not order Lingcha Lingjiu. Gu Xuan took out two jars of medicinal wine from the storage bag and handed one jar to Li Qing: "Miss Li, this is the intoxicating medicinal wine. It is very strong and may not be to your liking."
"Well, let me try it first."
Li Qing took the wine jar, followed Gu Xuan and slapped off the sealing mud, and then poured a little into the jade cup. After raising the cup and drinking, he smacked his mouth a few times and his brows knitted together.
"Hey, this wine is really strong. I'm not used to it, so I'll leave it to Senior Brother Lu."
Li Qing picked up the sealing mud, covered the mouth of the altar, and then placed the wine jar on the seat reserved for Lu Shan.
"Master, let's sit down for a while. I'll ask the waiter to make a pot of Hua Yu Ling tea."
Gu Xuan has been practicing for many years, and he is not particular about the dispensability of food. Li Qing just ordered four dishes, all of which are his favorites.
Since there were not many guests, the four dishes were served quickly, and the two of them chatted while eating.
Soon after, the waiter brought a male cultivator wearing a silver robe, it was Lu Shan.
This person has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and high cheekbones. He pretended to be a person who cultivated in the Gangli Realm at the auction, but now he showed his later level of cultivation.
Li Qing made an introduction, and Lu Shan and Gu Xuan greeted each other.
"Fellow Taoist Gu Entropy, we have met at the auction. It is a great honor for Lu to meet again in this pavilion."
"Haha, I feel the same way. Friend Lu, please take a seat."
Li Qing did not stand up, but when he saw Gu Xuan and Lu Shan sitting down, he said: "Senior Brother Lu, this jar is the intoxicating wine of Master Gu Entropy. I just tried it, and there is no poison in it."
Lu Shan suddenly stretched out his hand, rubbed Li Qing's head, and laughed: "Junior sister Li loves to joke."
Gu Xuan hurriedly said: "Since this jar of medicinal wine has been opened, how can we drink it again or change it to another jar?"
"This altar will do." Lu Shan took off the sealing mud and raised the wine jar, "Fellow Taoist Gu Entropy invites you."
