Lu Qingmei disappeared out of thin air!
In the past few days, Cao Cuo asked all the servants who had been in contact with her in the Four Seasons Garden, and all of them seemed to have amnesia, without any memory related to her at all.
The solar terms building, inside the Lichun Pavilion.
"Brother Pei, do you still remember Lu Qingmei?" Cao Cuo tried to calm his questioning voice as much as possible.
The servants of Four Seasons Garden didn't have much contact with Lu Qingmei, and their cultivation was low. It is understandable that they were erased after being hit by an illusion, but Pei Donglai was different. He was a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and he had accepted her "24 Sword Qi" Inheritance will never be easily erased from memory.
So after Cao Cuo asked Pei Donglai's whereabouts, he went all the way to find this place, as if to ask clearly.
Pei Donglai drank a cup and raised his sword to burn spring, and said doubtfully:
"Brother Cao, who is this Lu Qingmei?"
Cao Cuo's heart was half-cooled, but he still did not give up and asked:
"Brother Pei, have you forgotten that it was you who brought us into the building of solar terms? In this Lichun Pavilion, Lu Qingmei burns the spring with a cup of Lifting Sword, and the [24 Sword Qi] Take out the inheritance, and trade it to you?"
"How is this possible? How can there be such a person..."
"what!"
"Something's wrong, I...why can't I remember?"
Pei Donglai thought carefully for a moment, his complexion suddenly became ugly, and he said, "Brother Cao, I don't remember the process of obtaining [24 Sword Qi] inheritance at all, as if a certain memory was suddenly erased by someone."
"Memory Erase..."
After Cao Cuo heard it, he completely gave up.
Lu Qingmei and the jade statue of Fairy Lingbo must be related.
After thinking about it calmly, after I left Hejiazhuang, every chance or strange thing I encountered seemed to be related to Lu Qingmei.
The first thing: I heard about the strange things about the ancient bones in her body when I met her for the first time, and sensed my opportunity to build a foundation, and decided to teach her to practice.
The second thing: After building the foundation, I decided to take her into Shoushanfang City. I met Pei Donglai on the same day, and watched her start the [24 Sword Qi] inheritance related to Xijianchi in the solar term building.
The third thing: together with Fan Buchou, he went to the Mid-mountain Stone Garden to gamble on stones, and was interfered by strange forces. By mistake, he agreed to participate in the gambling fight and brought back the mysterious stone ball.
All of this, could someone be interfering?
In order for her to wake up step by step?
...
Cao Cuo looked at Pei Donglai and asked, "Brother Pei, if a person could quietly erase the part about her from your memory, what kind of cultivation would she be?"
Pei Donglai said solemnly: "The memory of a monk involves spiritual consciousness, and it is probably only possible for a monk who has established a foundation to tamper with the spiritual consciousness of a monk with a cultivation level above the state of transformation."
Cao wrongly confirmed his guess and didn't want to ask any more.
He didn't intend to continue to investigate, this matter was far beyond his imagination, and it was full of fog.
This "Deer Qingmei" is obviously a monk with memories of previous lives. He followed him into Shoushanfang City, fetched the inheritance of the sword pool, jade statues and stone balls, and disappeared out of thin air to erase everyone's memories. No matter what the purpose was, it was not him Can handle it now.
You can't mess around with this.
After comforting Pei Donglai a few words and persuading him not to think too much, Cao Cuo said goodbye and left.
...
Izumobo, Meteor Pavilion.
After two years, Cao made a disguise and came here again.
A maid stepped on a crane to greet her and saluted respectfully:
"It is a great honor for Senior Wei to visit this pavilion."
Cao Cuo also recognized that it was the maid who greeted him when he came to Meteor Pavilion for the first time, and the crane was also the same crane, and asked, "After two years, how can you recognize me?"
As soon as he entered the Meteor Pavilion, the other party greeted him, not as if he saw it by accident, but as if he knew he was coming and came to greet him.
The maid pointed to the meteor mirror on the top of the pavilion and said with a smile:
"Senior Wei is a distinguished guest of this pavilion, and it is recorded in the Meteor Mirror, and Shopkeeper Han has specially ordered that as long as Senior Wei comes, we must treat him well, and we can take you to see him directly without notification."
Cao Cuo's heart trembled, the big data effect of this meteor mirror is really powerful, and he absolutely does not need to come here as a deity, lest he be exposed to any clues.
Gently nodding his head, he was just about to wait for Linghe.
A gentleman in brocade robe led a woman in red to get there first, and said impatiently:
"Hanxiang, let him wait first, you send me upstairs first."
The young man in brocade robe had a sallow complexion, as if his body had been hollowed out by the wine, and the woman in red was snuggling beside him, she looked a bit charming.
Han Xiang was in a dilemma, not daring to make a decision and softly persuaded:
"Young Pavilion Master, Senior Wei is here first, can you..."
In Shaoge with a sallow complexion, he didn't even look at the two of them, and said angrily, "Do you want me to say it a second time?"
Young Pavilion Master?The son of the Pavilion Master of the Meteor Pavilion, he is just a perfect qi practitioner.
Cao Cuo didn't want to be troublesome, so he said directly:
"It's okay, let's send your young pavilion master upstairs first."
The maid felt relieved, and after apologizing, she gave him a grateful glance, and then she took the spirit crane to see the two people above go first.
Meteor Court has strict rules and regulations, she dare not offend both parties, she will be punished for neglecting distinguished guests, and will also be punished for neglecting Shao Pavilion, this is the bitterness of being a small person.
Cao Cuo came to the Meteor Pavilion to discuss business, and he would not delay the business for some trivial matters, so naturally he would not embarrass the maid.
"What?"
malicious! Among the people who just boarded the crane, it seems that someone has malicious intentions towards him...
who is it?
...
In the Meteor Pavilion, no one is allowed to fly except for the Linghe, otherwise he will be attacked by the Meteor Mirror. Not long after, another maid comes to pick him up on the crane, saying that it was specially ordered by Shopkeeper Han.
...
The sixth floor of Meteor Pavilion.
As soon as Cao Cuo stepped off the Linghe, Han Ce greeted him with a smile on his face: "Friend Wei Daoist, long time no see."
The two exchanged a few words, Cao Cuo didn't mention the trivial matter just now, and quickly turned to the topic:
"Shopkeeper Han, I don't know if all the Fire Crow Fugui Pavilion was shot last time?"
"Friend Daoist, the Fire Crow Talisman you provided is well-made and sold out in less than half a year."
No wonder the shopkeeper Han is so enthusiastic. It seems that the batch of Fire Crow Talismans also made a lot of profit for Meteor Pavilion.
"I brought another 50 Fire Crow Talismans today, do you intend to buy them?"
"Of course I do."
"50 pieces? It seems that fellow Daoist Wei has made a lot of progress in talisman, and the rate of talisman formation has greatly increased. Congratulations."
...
The two discussed for a while and then continued the transaction.
After checking the storage bag by mistake, Cao found that the number of talisman coins was correct.
Han Ce on the other side also inspected the batch of Fire Crow Talismans. The quality is still high, and the restrictions are neat and consistent.
After this person traded the Fire Crow Talisman for the first time with Meteor Pavilion, there was no follow-up news. Unexpectedly, more than two years later, he brought a batch of 70 Fire Crow Talismans.
The last batch of Fire Crow Talismans was sold out in less than half a year, which made Meteor Pavilion earn a lot of profit. It seems that I did not agree with my subordinates to send people to follow the other party. Treating people with sincerity and trustworthiness is the right way to do business. .
Cao mistakenly saw that the other party had counted correctly, and added talisman money to the storage bag in his hand and handed it to the other party:
"Treasurer Han, let's exchange these for two hundred square jade essences and that one [Stomach Technique]."
There are still nearly two bottles of thousand-year-old stalactites, which are enough for him to use for a period of time, so he doesn't need to buy more now. Then he has been coveting the [Stomach Technique] for a long time, and this kind of breath-suppressing secret technique is rare. With Baojing's probing ability, he wanted to master this secret technique even more.
"Fellow Taoist, think twice."
Han Ce has already decided to do a long-term business with the other party, and he doesn't want to deceive others, so he persuaded him: "Forgive me, this [Dormitory Art] is extremely difficult. I ask myself that the aptitude of the art is not bad, but decades of painstaking practice are not enough. But Xiao Cheng, I hope Fellow Daoist can think about it more carefully."
Cao Cuo also guessed some of his little thoughts back then, and said with a confident smile: "Xie Han, the shopkeeper, told the truth, but Wei also has a bit of magic talent, so far there is no secret technique that cannot be learned. Listen to you, I I am more interested in the sting technique."
Han Ce: "..."
Fellow Daoist Wei, I'm really trying to persuade you, not to encourage you, that's all for now.
Han Ce had already fulfilled his obligation, and seeing that the other party had made up his mind, he didn't persuade him much, and arranged for his men to fetch the jade essence and [Stomach Technique].
Cao Cuo is really not afraid of the difficulty of [Containing Breath Technique]. With the experience of green locusts superimposed, his skills are not inferior to any genius.
Taking advantage of the time to pick up the goods, Han Ce brewed a pot of spiritual tea for Cao Cuo, and chatted: "Daoist Wei, do you know that this [Stomach Art] has a lot of history."
Cao Cuo drank a sip of tea with a tangy fragrance, and even his consciousness became clearer. It really is a big shop, and the spiritual tea for the guests is no less than the treasures of the Four Seasons Garden. The shopkeeper explained to me."
Han Ce was very interested in talking: "Have you ever heard of Gu Immortal Sect, Fellow Daoist Wei?"
"Gu Immortal Sect? Is it related to immortals?"
Cao Cuo suddenly thought of the Taishang Dajiao.
"Of course not, this Gu Immortal Sect doesn't have such a big background, but it involves a True God Transformation Monarch."
"True Monarch of Transforming God? Please tell shopkeeper Han, it's just a secret technique of restraining breath, how can it involve the True Monarch of Transforming God Realm?"
He seriously suspected that this was a rumor fabricated by the Meteor Pavilion in order to increase the value of the secret technique.
Han Ce saw that the other party might be talking about the reputation of his Meteor Pavilion, so he stopped procrastinating and introduced the connection.
It turns out that before the Kingdom of Jin opened Nanyi, this was the site of the Gu Immortal Sect in Southern Xinjiang. In the Gu Immortal Sect, everyone is proficient in high-quality Gu art and the preparation of strange poisons. They often raise Gu with human beings and sacrifice their blood to Gu insects, making it impossible for monks outside the sect to guard against it. .
The Gu Immortal Sect was originally the largest force in southern Xinjiang. It had fought against the Kingdom of Jin for hundreds of years without falling, causing countless casualties on both sides. If it hadn't been for the stalemate, the Gu Immortal Sect's main altar was invaded by powerful enemies, and the high-level leaders were destroyed. The outcome is still unknown.
The founding master of this Gu Immortal Sect is a true god of transformation, named Panwang Daoren, who is also the head of Gu and Poison, and left the inheritance of "Panwang Sutra", which can be called the supreme scripture of Gu and Poison .
The dormancy technique originated from the "Pan Wang Jing", which was excavated by a foundation-building cultivator in Shoushan from a relic of the Gu Immortal Sect. However, shortly after he sold the dormancy technique to Meteor Pavilion, He died of inexplicable poison.
As a result, this secret technique has been neglected for many years, and it has been put on the shelf. It was the newly promoted master, Han Ce, who did not believe in evil and tried his own way. He used one of the three inheritances of the [Stomach Technique], and it has been safe for decades. Sale.
Now Cao Cuo spent million talismans money to buy it, which is the second chance to realize the inheritance of the [Stomach Technique].
