Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 568: Portraits
Jiu Yao Tower, inside the quiet room.
Lu Tong stood behind the desk, holding a mirror in his arms and eight books on the table in front of him.
Open all eight books.
The four books on the left are covered with ink, with words, pictures, and complicated patterns. They are the "Demon Code" sent by Que Yu.
The four books on the right are empty and all are blank pages.
He took up his magic power and poured it into the mirror. A beam of white light came out of the mirror, then he pointed it at the book on the left and introduced a ball of ink with his hand.
The ink fell into the white light, quickly scattered and changed, and quickly turned into characters.
Lu Tong waved his hand.
The ink that turned into characters flew out and fell onto the blank page, printing eight pages of text that were exactly the same as the "Demon Code".
Book mirror.
The magic weapon Dian Si'er sent was a magic weapon commonly used in bookstores. Lu Tong had never heard of it before.
The mirror emits white light. When it encounters the ink mark, the light disappears. When it encounters the blank part, the light remains unchanged, thus forming traces of characters in the light.
He checked it over and waved a breeze.
The wind blew by, and when I stretched out my hand to touch it, there was a little ink stain on my fingertips that had not yet dried.
"Too much ink."
After turning the page, he used his magic power again to quickly "copy" the Que family's book collection.
In just half a day, all seventeen "Demon Manuals" were copied.
Lu Tong looked at the new books with a smile on his face and thought to himself: "Good thing, it seems that soon, I will have my own scripture library."
He wrote on the cover, took out a wooden box, and put away his first collection of books.
I sat down at the table and started looking through the old books left behind by the treasure bag.
A hundred years old book with very complicated contents.
There are several diary fragments, some more than ten pages, some as few as only three pages, all of them were abandoned halfway, and eating and drinking accounted for more than half of the written content;
I have experience in making weapons, including a complete technique for pulling molten iron;
There are also elixir prescriptions and various miscellaneous books covering monsters, fairy ships, heaven and earth, etc.
Lu Tong pulled out an album that had been scattered.
The sky is filled with evil spirits, the terrain is complex, the icy Milky Way spreads for hundreds of miles, the fire waterfall without reaching the top, the evil wind that comes and goes without a trace...
It is difficult to move half a step below the real person, and the real person Yuanying is also in desperate situations. Only by breaking into the great power can he have the strength to travel safely.
The album is old and the paint has turned black and yellow.
He saw a grove of blood vines that looked like weeping willows. He turned to the next page and saw a page of portraits sandwiched between the two pages.
A woman with almond eyes, peach cheeks, plump cheeks, and what seems to be a dimple.
The painting technique is very exquisite, using black lines on white paper and a few strokes to outline the beauty of the woman.
"Haha."
Lu Tong laughed twice, picked up the portrait and put it aside, secretly saying: "It seems that a hundred years ago, the taste of the treasure bag was the same as that of normal people."
Put down the portrait.
After reading a black hole swallowing the wind and a mountain of ten thousand gold, I turned the page again.
Another page of portraits.
There are two people in the painting, a man and a woman. The woman is still the plump woman from the previous page, but the man is ordinary-looking, and you can meet him whenever you go out...
After Lu Tong took a second look, his expression suddenly changed and he sat in a chair blankly.
The eyebrows, eyes, mouth, and nose are all very ordinary, but put together, they are somewhat similar to Que Shenpeng.
Not just one or two points, but at least six or seven points.
I picked up the portrait of the woman next to me again, thinking about it. When I looked at it again, I could vaguely see the shadow of Que Yu.
He continued to read.
There are seven consecutive pictures in the back, each page contains a portrait, and without exception, all of them have that woman.
There are nine portraits in total.
Lu Tong looked at it intently for a long time, then put the portrait back into the album and carefully put it in his pocket.
"This is a big deal."
……
"Senior brother, my father has not refined elixirs recently. These are the elixirs I took out from the elixir bank. They have been refined for nearly ten years, and the elixir effect has been slightly lost. Senior brother can take two at a time."
In the quiet room, Que Yu put down two bottles of pills.
Lu Tong looked at Que Yu's cheek, and the portrait came to mind again.
Que Yu took out another letter and said, "I have sent someone to Donghai Sect and brought back a letter from the Qi sisters."
"Thank you, junior sister."
He took the envelope without bothering to open it, put it in his pocket and asked, "Do you know, junior sister, how old is Yun Ao this year?"
"She should be nearly three hundred years old. I need to ask my father for details."
"When will you become a disciple of Bao Nang?"
"Very early on, I vaguely remember that Senior Sister Yun Ao became a disciple of my uncle when she first became a foundation builder, and the other five people all came to the qi training realm and became his disciples. With Senior Sister's qualifications, she must not be more than fifty, so she should Within thirty."
Lu Tong nodded, his heart sinking slightly.
Yun Ao has been his disciple for more than two hundred years, so he should have met Que Yu's mother. This box passed through Yun Ao's hands and was opened. She may have seen this picture album.
The portrait suddenly appears, like a hot potato. You can’t throw it away, and you can’t feel at ease when handling it. It’s better not to know about it from the beginning.
Que Yu said: "Senior brother, do you doubt senior sister Yun Ao?"
"No."
Lu Tong shook his head and quickly came up with an excuse, saying: "Yun Ao has been practicing for three hundred years. It should be very difficult for you to compete with her for the master of the fairy ship."
"If she is really a senior sister, it will be a blessing for Shu Shu."
The two chatted for a while.
Que Yu leaves.
"Hey."
Lu Tong sighed and said to himself: "I hope this matter can end here."
The shady grievances between real people only bring trouble but no benefits.
He suppressed his worries, took out the letter again, tore open the envelope, looked at it for a while, and gradually frowned.
Qi Yangyang is shirking.
There is only a little over a year left in the five-year period at the slowest of getting better. Qi Yangyang also allowed some grace and did not say when the method would be delivered.
Lu Tong read it twice in a row, and some doubts arose in his heart.
Although the friendship between Qi Yangyang and Qi Jie Jian is not very deep, judging from their past contacts, they don’t look like people who break their promises and get fat.
"Can two real disciples seek a Dharma door?"
He had some doubts, maybe the whipping method requested was unusual.
Day after day passed, and soon it was time to give another lecture.
Lu Tong sat on the stone pillar. After waiting for a long time, Yun Ao, Ning Hai and others did not appear. Only the fifth disciple Hu Qi, the sixth disciple Lu Yu, and a few disciples came to listen.
"Senior brothers and sisters have all gone to retreat. How about giving up today?"
Lu Tong smiled, glanced at the circular stone pillar belonging to Ninghai, and said, "No, three or two people are enough."
He looked at a whip-shaped stone pillar in the distance and said, "Junior sister, how about you teach whipping techniques today?"
The dragon is shaped like a whip.
When I had a tail in the past, I often used stick and whip techniques. However, I was not proficient in the whip technique. I just relied on my strength and strength to defeat the enemy.
Lu Yu was very surprised.
She is only in the foundation-building realm. She can only speak a few sentences from the book every time she gives a lecture. It is called a lecture, but she actually takes the opportunity to ask for advice from her senior brothers.
"Senior brother, I, my method is superficial and I have nothing to say."
"It doesn't matter, you can talk about what you know. Even superficial things have their merits."
"Okay."
Lu Yu was unprepared and thought for a while before speaking.
"There are many whips. Sectional whips, from two-section whips, three-section whips, all the way to nine-section whips. There are also soft whips, hard whips...the one I refine most is the nine-section whip..."
Lu Tong frowned when he heard this and couldn't help but interrupt: "Can junior sister know the whip technique?"
"Know a little."
"How about talking about it?"
Lu Yu thought for a while and said: "The whip techniques include whipping, sweeping, wrapping, winding, shaking, and teasing. Among them, sweeping and whipping are the most powerful. They can sweep horizontally to level an area, and vertical whipping can hit a line... ”
Lu Yu finished speaking in less than a quarter of an hour.
Lu Tong sighed silently and threw away all the things he had vaguely memorized. It was a bunch of empty words and of no use.
Que Yu lowered his head, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and said, "Senior brother, you want to learn whipping?"
"Yeah."
He nodded, then shook his head and said: "It's not an ordinary whipping technique, but a technique derived from dragon and snake. I wanted to ask Yang Zhima how much he could learn from Lu Yu, but I didn't expect..."
Lu Tong hesitated for a moment, then revealed his heart and said, "It seems that not all real disciples are smart."
Que Yudao: "Master uncle never pays attention to talent when accepting disciples."
“Don’t value talent over background?”
"No, my uncle only cares about the appearance."
After a somewhat deserted lecture and skill contest, everyone dispersed and left.
Lu Tong returned to Jiuyao Tower.
At night, when I was reading a book, a loud roar suddenly sounded in my ears, and then the ground under my feet and the roof above my head shook at the same time.
His expression changed instantly.
Sneak attack?
Lu Tong had always been on guard, and he immediately jumped into the shape of a dragon, activated his magic power, and opened his mouth to spit out layers of gauze and broken flowers.
"Treasure bag!"
"You insult me too much! I must..."
The roar that was close to my ears stopped suddenly, and Jiuyao Tower shook a few more times before returning to calm.
Lu Tong looked suspicious, looked around a few times, restrained his blood, transformed into Yaowei again, walked out of the room and shouted: "What happened?"
The sound of hurried footsteps approached.
Steward Jin ran over quickly and said, "Master, something happened in Qibao Mansion. Something big must have happened. We have to rush there immediately."
"You stay, I'll go take a look."
"Yes."
Jiu Yao Tower is very close to Qibao Mansion. You can directly enter the mansion from the observation deck behind the eighth floor.
Lu Tong walked to the observation deck.
The formation of Qibao Mansion in front was fully activated, and various colors of light filled the air, blocking the outside view.
He escaped a few feet and frowned as he looked at the formation in front of him.
Can't get in.
In the past, no one taught the formation seal of Qibao Mansion from the main entrance. Now the power of the formation is fully activated, and even the main entrance is isolated within the formation.
Waiting for a cup of tea.
Que Yu flew to the side and said, "Brother, what happened?"
"I don't know, you can't get in either?"
"Senior brother, wait a moment."
Que Yu took out a sound-transmitting magic weapon and poured it with magic power. After a few breaths, the formation opened an entrance.
Lu Tong escaped into the formation.
Yun Ao stood not far away, his face was extremely pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Junior brother, why don't you come in?"
Lu Tong didn’t know how to explain it.
Something happened to my family. I was already outside the door but still didn’t come in. I didn’t want to come back or couldn’t come back, and I couldn’t explain it all.
He blinked and asked very stiffly: "What happened?"
The house was in chaos, with smoke and dust flying all over the depths of the house. Many maids, servants, and guards were running around, and a figure escaped from the seven outer mansions.
Two figures in the sky are confronting each other.
Lu Tong's heart trembled when he saw Que Shenpeng from a distance.
This is...
Does Que Shenpeng know about it?
He subconsciously looked at Que Yu.
Que Yu also asked: "Senior sister, what's going on? I was drinking tea with my father, but my father suddenly changed color and then disappeared."
"Cough!"
Yun Ao coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood. His expression suddenly became sluggish, as if he was about to fall.
Que Yu hurried over to help him.
"Sister, are you injured?"
Yun Ao nodded, looked at the two figures in the sky, and said: "I was in seclusion when I was disturbed by a roar. The magic was raging and I was almost seriously injured and fell into coma. When I came out, I saw Master Que and Master Shelu fighting each other."
Lu Tong also looked at the sky.
Shelu, it was the first time he saw a real person. His appearance was better than that of Que Shenpeng, but now his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of anger.
Queshenpeng looked dull.
He looked at it twice and felt confused.
This is...
Did Shelu know about it?
Lu Tong swallowed his throat and said, "Who made the first move?"
At this time, sounds also came from the sky.
Shelu said: "Get out of the way! The grudge between me and Baobang has nothing to do with you!"
Queshenpeng slowly shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Baonang has passed away. No matter what grudges we have, we should let them go as soon as possible."
"You..."
Shelu became even angrier in an instant. He pointed at Que Shenpeng, opened his mouth several times, and said loudly: "It has nothing to do with you! I swear today that I will crush him to ashes!"
Lu Tong immediately understood that it was Shelu who knew.
"Cough!"
Yun Ao coughed again, and there was no trace of blood on his already pale cheeks.
"Sister!"
Que Yu supported Yun Ao, used her magic power to explore, her face changed drastically, and said: "Senior sister, my heart pulse has been broken, and I can't move anymore."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Tong and said, "Do you still have the blood pill that saved my life last time, senior brother?"
"Yes."
Lu Tong understood instantly, retracted his hand into his sleeve, took out a blood spirit and handed it over.
Yun Ao looked at Xue Ling and then at Lu Tong, with something strange in his eyes.
Que Yu took the blood spirit, pressed it into Yun Ao's palm, and said: "Senior sister, rest assured to refine it. This blood pill is hard to come by and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life."
"Thank you, junior brother."
Yun Ao stared at Lu Tong for a moment, then closed his eyes to refine the blood spirit.
A few strong winds blew by.
Queshenpeng and Shelu fought three more times. Both of them restrained their magic power and no one was hurt. However, all the pavilions, flowers and plants in the inner palace were destroyed.
"That's it."
A vicissitudes of life, thick, and thunderous voice sounded.
Queshenpeng and Shelu stopped immediately.
"Meet Laojun!"
The rest of the people also bowed and saluted, saying: "Junior, pay homage to Laojun!"
Lu Tong also buried himself together.
"That's it, let's go back to each other."
"As commanded."
A burst of echo sounded.
She Lu broke through the formation and fled to the west. Que Shenpeng looked at the chaos in Qibao Mansion, sighed, and took one last look at Lu Tong~IndoMTL.com~ and disappeared into a golden light.
Everyone in the house was left looking at each other, still not knowing what happened.
"Junior brother's elixir is indeed mysterious, but is it related to the bleeding leeches?"
Yun Ao's spirit was still sluggish, but there was already a trace of blood on his face.
"Not bad."
"Dare I ask, junior brother, if you still have this elixir? Junior brother Ninghai and junior sister Guanhui are also seriously injured."
Lu Tong frowned, suspecting that Yun Ao was testing.
"Senior brother."
Que Yu shouted and nodded slightly.
"There are a few more."
Lu Tong took out three more blood spirits and said: "This pill is extremely difficult to preserve and must be taken as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, junior brother."
Yun Ao cupped his hands and thanked him.
After seeing this, Lu Tong frowned even deeper.
I was really suspicious.
Yun Ao, Ning Hai and other senior fellow apprentices have always been generous with their gifts, just a few pills and no need to thank them several times.
Yun Ao was so sharp, he only showed a slight flaw in the formation, and he actually caught the horse's foot.
Que Yu helped Yun Ao leave.
Lu Tong returned to Jiuyao Tower, entered the quiet room, and immediately saluted: "Senior!"
Que Shenpeng sat behind the desk, looked at the book that Lu Tong had not had time to put away, and said: "The murderer is not Shelu."
Lu Tong poured a cup of tea and sent it.
Queshenpeng said: "Shelu just found out about that matter. It is very secret. The only people who know about it are you, me, Laojun, Yaowei, and the murderer."
"Yes. Just ask who revealed this, and you can find the murderer."
"Go and ask."
"Huh?"
Lu Tong immediately widened his eyes.
Que Shenpeng lowered his head, his throat moved, and said: "I, I am so inconvenienced. If you ask about this, I will find a magic weapon for you to resolve the evil spirit."
"Yes."
