Changping Villa, Chaoyang Garden, early morning.

Qin Xu stared obsessively at the visualization diagram of the secret method of self-cultivation, the face of the life-size statue modeled on the civil and military saints, and kept muttering to himself: "The appearance comes from the heart, the appearance comes from the heart...

"

When Qin and Yi left, they wanted to say goodbye. Huang Lao walked in to ask for instructions. As soon as he opened his mouth, Qin Xu said impatiently: "I am at a critical moment. If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me!"

Huang Lao shook his head helplessly and came again. Recently, the young master has either been reading the classics written by the civil and military saints during his lifetime, or he was staring at the faces of the civil and military saints and talking to himself as if he was in a daze.

Huang Lao sighed, left, and shook his head at Qin Yi and Qin Yi who were waiting in the courtyard.

Qin Yi and Qin Wei looked at each other in surprise, and then said: "Since the teacher has something to do, we won't bother you. We only asked for one day's leave. We must rush back this afternoon. We will wait soon. If the teacher is finished, we will take your place."

We apologize to the teacher."

…

Huang Lao sent Qin Yi and Qin Yi down the mountain and watched them leave. After going up the mountain, he did not go back to Chaoyang Garden, but went to the General Affairs Hall.

"I have a corpse here. I need to conduct an autopsy. The information obtained will be sent to Chaoyang Garden."

…

Near noon, Mr. Huang suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from Qin Xu's room and said: "Love comes from the heart, so that's how it is! Haha... I finally understand."

Mr. Huang hurriedly entered the room. Qin Xu saw Mr. Huang and said to him excitedly: "I understand why the civil and military saint spent his whole life in his later years to inherit the secret method of self-cultivation. He even used himself as a model to leave behind

The life-size statue serves as a visualization diagram."

Huang Lao asked curiously: "Why?"

Qin Xu looked at the void with bright eyes and sighed: "In his later years, the literary saint was unwilling to die and wanted to become a god like the Immortal God, the beast god, and the Gu god."

"God? This, how can this be successful?"

"Yes! This difficulty is really too great. It seems that Wen Sheng failed in the end."

Qin Xu turned his head and glanced at the face of the statue of the literary saint, shook his head and said: "It turns out that in the face of death, the literary saint is not immune to the vulgarity."

"This discovery can tell Qin Yi, and may inspire him to create new martial arts..."

"By the way, where is Qin Yi? Call him here. I want to tell him personally about my amazing discovery."

Huang Lao said helplessly: "Sir, what time is it now? Young Master Yi and Young Master Wei have already left."

"What?"

Qin Xu looked up at the sun outside the door in surprise, and murmured to himself: "Has it been so long? Qin Yi and the others have left? I still have some things I haven't told them."

Mr. Huang was about to say something. At this time, the formation outside Chaoyang Garden was touched, and then the voice of the chief priest came: "Qin Xu, open the door."

Qin Xu glanced at Mr. Huang in surprise. Mr. Huang immediately understood. The classics in the room and the life-size statue of the literary saint were all put into the empty bag. Then he quickly opened the formation, opened the door for the priest elder, and welcomed in.

The officiating elder did not wait for Mr. Huang to lead the way, walked into the house with a solemn expression, and asked directly: "Where did you get the body of the lantern holder?"

Qin Xu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the officiating elder came for this matter.

Huang Lao and Qin Xu looked at each other, and when Qin Xu nodded slightly, they quickly told the whole story.

After hearing this, the chief priest looked shocked and said, "What, are you here for Qin Yi? A killing order! No, where is Qin Yi?"

"This morning, I left the villa and returned to the military camp."

"Have you arranged for protection?"

Mr. Huang also realized something, swallowed dryly, shook his head and said: "Qin Yi and Qin Wei are both innate, and this is Changping County, so..."

When the officiating elder heard this, his vision went dark, his body swayed, and he supported the table next to him before he stood firm.

The chief priest pointed angrily at Mr. Huang, then at Qin Xu, flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "You, you, are simply murder! You clearly know that Qin Yi has been ordered to kill the person holding the lantern,

You still let him leave the villa? If you haven’t provided him with any protective measures from you, aren’t you asking him to die? If you do this, it’s not murder, what is it?!”

Qin Xu said with a solemn expression: "Qin Yi has broken through to Xiantian. He majors in Yuanwu. His combat power has reached the early stage of the Golden Core. He should be fine."

At the end of the sentence, Qin Xu felt inexplicably panicked for some reason, and his tone couldn't help but lose the previous affirmation.

The more Qin Xu thought about it, the more panicked he became. He turned to the shadow guard and said: "Immediately patrol the official road to the military camp, find Qin Yi, and then protect him into the military camp before leaving. By the way, remember to tell him not to do it easily."

Go down the mountain and stay in the military camp, waiting for the family's review of him."

"Yes!" The shadow guard appeared in an instant, disappeared in an instant, and then disappeared.

The officiating elder sighed, fell down on his chair, and said, "I hope it's not too late!"

…

On the official road three miles away, Qin Wei heard the sound of fighting disappear and fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

"Is the battle over?"

"Who won?"

"Huh? Is this? My innate magical power has awakened?"

Wind perception, you can sense things with the help of wind.

Qin Wei closed his eyes, his innate true energy surged around his body, and he softly chanted: "Sense of wind!"

A gust of wind came out of Qin Wei's body and blew to the northwest, arriving at the place where Qin Yi and Jiang Li fought.

"That corpse is... the Lantern Man Killer of the Golden Core Realm, Jiang Li, he is dead!"

"But why is Xiaoyi missing?"

"The enemies are all dead. Logically speaking, Xiao Yi should be nearby? Besides, why is Jiang Li's body lying here cold like this?"

Isn’t this unlike Xiao Yi’s style?

"How is this going?"

Jiang Wei gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back. He first put Jiang Li's body in the empty bag. He learned this from Qin Yi. Qin Yi had the habit of putting the enemy's corpse into the empty bag after killing him.

.

Qin Wei searched carefully several times, but could not find Qin Yi.

"Xiao Yi is missing!"

Qin Wei had to face this bad news.

After making this judgment in his heart, Qin Wei's tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Qin Wei wiped away his tears vigorously: "I can't cry. Xiao Yi is just missing. The most important thing now is to find someone to search for him! The longer time goes by, the more dangerous Xiao Yi will be!"

"I can't waste time."

Qin Wei got on his horse, turned around and drove quickly in the direction of the villa.

Not long after Qin Wei left, Qin Yun flew down from mid-air, looked around, and said solemnly: "A battle at the Golden Core Realm actually happened here!"

Qin Yun glanced at the compass in his hand, shook his head and said: "Qin Yi's position disappeared here!"

It seems that Qin Yi has encountered an enemy in the Golden Core Realm!

Qin Yun looked in the direction of the villa: "That's Qin Wei! He's with Qin Yi. Maybe, he can give me an answer."

Not long after Qin Yun left, the shadow guard appeared, glanced at the battlefield, looked north, then looked south, then his figure flashed and disappeared again.

…

Qin Xu sat down and stood up, stood up and sat down again, changing his usual calm and confident appearance.

"Elder officiating priest, how do you know about the lantern bearer? How much do you know about the lantern bearer?"

Qin Xu suddenly thought of something. After sitting down, he turned his head and asked the chief priest.

"The Lantern Men are indeed a very secretive organization."

The officiating elder glanced at Qin Xu, who finally sat down quietly, and slowly said: "At the beginning, what we knew about the Lantern Man Organization was that it was founded by Saint Longwu, but later disappeared, just to find Longwu.

It’s just an organization passed down by saints and constantly robbing tombs. I didn’t know anything else about it until..."

The officiating elder took a deep look at Qin Xu and said, "It wasn't until your father, in order to find Divine Doctor Hua, kept digging deep that he finally discovered the unknown side of the Lamp Holder organization."

"It turns out that the Lantern Man organization still retains a large number of manpower in the barbarian lands around the Central Plains. It is also the largest killer organization in the barbarian lands, and has good relations with the bosses of all barbarians in all directions."

Speaking of this, the officiating elder sighed and sighed: "We don't know how the Lantern Man Organization, as a human race, allowed the barbarians and the demon tribe behind them to trust them and let them survive and develop. We don't know what the Lantern Man Organization actually has."

How many people are there and where is their base camp? We only know that the main members of the Lantern Man are warriors who practice the way of dragon martial arts."

Qin Xu looked at the officiating elder in surprise, shook his head and said, "In other words, we are the only ones in the Weishui Qin family who know the true face of the Lantern Bearer Organization?"

Qin Xu's tone was full of disbelief.

The officiating elder shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not, our aristocratic families are in the same spirit. As long as one aristocratic family knows about such an organization, it will naturally inform other aristocratic families. In addition, in the past two years, the lantern holders have become more and more active in the Central Plains area.

Even the killer organization has begun to set foot in the Central Plains region, which is one of the important reasons why your father can discover their true heritage."

No wonder his understanding of the Lantern Man does not stop at the impression of a tomb-robbing organization.

It turns out that the killer organization of the Lantern Man has only begun to enter the Central Plains in the past two years.

"That is to say, in fact, the senior officials of various aristocratic families and our Weishui Qin family all know about the lantern holder."

The officiating elder sighed and said: "Yes, you probably haven't received the relevant information. It's understandable. After all, your situation is special."

Qin Xu was silent for a long time, and then asked again: "The killer organization of the Lantern Man, which entered the Central Plains on the eve of the arrival of the spiritual tide, is it related to the royal family?"

The officiating elder stroked his long beard, nodded and shook his head and said: "We all have such speculations, but there is no evidence, and you also know that during this period when the spiritual tide is approaching, the strength of the royal family is the greatest.

The strongest ones are also the craziest. Even if the various aristocratic families find out about this, they will only exchange some things and will not really make an attack. Everything..."

Qin Xu directly intercepted the other party's words and said: "Everything must wait until the spiritual tide is over before the final conclusion can be made."

Qin Xu sneered and continued: "It's all cliche, nothing new at all. It's precisely because of your connivance that the royal family becomes more and more unscrupulous!"

The officiating elder shook his head and said: "We must find a way out for our human race, and the royal family is the best pathfinder. If the royal family fails, our families still have the opportunity to correct their mistakes and start over."
