Chapter 36 “I also have a problem here” (4065 words)
Back in the cave, Jiang Qiao sat on a wooden chair, the flashbacks in his mind still clear.
He lifted the Blood Piano Sword and observed the blade of the Blood Piano Sword. The name was chosen carelessly, but the quality of the sword was indeed good. He wiped the blade.
He had not been able to own a spiritual sword before, but now that he had it, he might be able to try what Jiang Dong said about flying with a sword.
During the ten-day holiday, Jiang Dong told Guo Jiangqiao the basic rules of flying with a sword. Jiang Dong also summed up a formula for faster learning.
Jiang Qiao followed Jiang Dong's method and tried to fly with the sword. At first, he bumped into the cave and fell to the ground many times. After that, Jiang Qiao was able to gradually maintain a relative balance on the Blood Piano Sword.
After leaving the secret realm today, the sect has compiled a list of the missing disciples based on how many disciples came out of the barrier. The caves of the missing disciples will be cleaned up tonight. Then prepare to welcome the new disciples, and the new disciples' caves should also be tidied up.
The entry test for new disciples will begin soon.
New people replace old ones, always so quickly.
Jiang Qiao thought that now he had the storage rings of Li Wentian, Mu Qinggan and Chen Bai, as well as the keys to their cave.
It would seem like a waste if I didn't take advantage of tonight to collect some things.
If you don't go now, there will be no chance at all. Taking advantage of the current gap, you can search Li Wentian, Mu Qinggan, and Chen Bai's things again, and you may make new discoveries.
Li Wentian's cave was in the southeast corner of the sect, closest to Jiang Qiao, so Jiang Qiao rushed there first. There is a residence arranged for sword cultivators.
He stumbled and flew on the sword. This was the first time he felt the pleasure of flying with a sword alone. The bloody smell in the morning, and those unpleasant experiences gradually faded away with the movement of the Blood Piano Sword.
The breeze brushed Jiang Qiao's cheek, and he finally understood why Jiang Dong was so obsessed with sword-wielding and boasted about it every day, because it was indeed very satisfying.
It's like riding a bicycle on the ground without restraint, feeling the speed, and feeling relaxed and happy with the sword.
Passing through the clouds at night, cotton-like clouds covered Jiang Qiao's face. He glanced at the moon hanging on the sky. It seemed to be very close to him at the same time, yet very far away at the same time.
Jiang Qiao used the key in Li Wentian's storage ring to open Li Wentian's cave.
The first thing you see is a mess, and a smell of fermentation hits your face, and the smell is overwhelming.
Some people's caves are clean, tidy and meticulous, but Li Wentian's cave seems to be a natural, carefully built nutritious nest for insects.
Densely packed insects were crawling on the bookshelves, and their eggs were clinging to the desk, undulating.
The wine jar was tilted, and the flowing wine fell on the books that were pressed under the jar, eventually leaving black mold spots.
The pages on the floor were also scattered everywhere, as if they were falling apart due to the loose binding.
The whole room was so messy that it didn't look like a habitable place.
Jiang Qiao never expected that a person who was so dignified and generous outside his life would be in such a mess in his private life.
However, these are not the point.
Jiang Qiao sighed and searched the room for useful information like picking up trash. Sure enough, he found a prescription for the Transformation Pill, which was similar to what Feng Chengdang said before he died.
He held the sour-smelling prescription with both hands, used magic to wash the paper clean, and put it into the storage ring. Time was tight, Jiang Qiao rummaged through it quickly because he wanted to wait. I will also go to the other two rooms to have a look.
As a result, I found some useless things, such as "Pictures of Beautiful Women in Hundred Miles of Spring", "Pictures of Sound Friends in Mountains and Flowing Waters", "Farmer Digging Maps", non-descriptive novels and the like, which simply stained people's eyes.
Jiang Qiao did not hesitate to classify them as private property.
Finally, I finally found a useful diary, which seemed to record daily visits to the black market. There should be a lot of information retained in it.
Then, Jiang Qiao continued on his way.
After wielding a sword again, Jiang Qiao felt that he was already half a veteran, so he read the diary and hurried on.
[I went to the black market for the first time. It turned out that the black market was like this. Finally, someone helped me get started. The carousel was really good. I could make a fortune by absorbing a little spiritual energy from the teapot. But I was too unlucky to make a fortune. Alas... ]
[…]
[…]
[I went to the black market again. I seem to have been defrauded of 1,000 spiritual stones. I am not sure whether I was defrauded or not. This is my wealth and life. How should I live next, what should I do...]
[…]
[It turns out that I was not deceived. It turns out that I have grasped a good opportunity to make a fortune. As long as I continue to attract other people and let them invest in this business, I can get dividends! In three years I will have two million spiritual stones, hahaha, spend it however you want]
[It’s time to go do business. When I think of two million spiritual stones, I toss and turn and can’t sleep. There is hope in life! When I get the money, I can spend it however I want, and even start a sect of my own. I don’t want male disciples, only female disciples! ! ! ]
[…]
[I feel something is wrong. Is there no way out for me? I invested all my money, but this time the dividends are never paid. No, I can't be cheated]
[Someone is bidding on the black market to buy the clan leader’s shoes and socks, an opportunity to make money]
[I met someone who was taken advantage of in the confinement building and felt that I could blackmail him]
[The relationship between Chen Bai and Mo Zong seems to be extraordinary. He always gets the most share of the business. It’s unfair, but I don’t have much]
When Jiang Qiao saw this, a forced smile appeared on his face. It turned out that this guy saw him this way. He was the one who was taken advantage of, right?
It seems that Li Wentian probably wanted to get himself involved in that business at that time, but he just didn't have time to implement it.
Also, Chen Bai seems not to be simple.
[That business will be successful soon. How should the Demon Sect be revitalized and what happens to the Demon Sect’s leader, I don’t care. I only care about whether my money is in place]
[The money I worked hard to save in that business still has three years to go, and three years to go]
Li Wentian's diary only recorded this, and then stopped abruptly.
He knew that there was a demon sect in the black market, but now it seemed that it was far more difficult than he thought.
The diary also mentioned that the master of the Demon Sect still had three years to go.
Business? success? The leader of the Demon Sect? Three years?
Of course Jiang Qiao still remembered that he had to survive the plot of the Demon Sect leader's exit, so that he could successfully leave the game.
Could it be that the leader of the Demon Sect can only leave seclusion after three years?
According to this statement, you have to wait three years before you can leave the game, or can you artificially speed up the time for the Demon Sect Master to leave the game?
As for these, they are just Jiang Qiao's guesses. It seems that he still needs to go to the black market again.
Chen Bai, you really need to investigate carefully.
After all, it is dangerous to wield a sword without looking ahead. Jiang Qiao almost hit a pine tree with his sword. He took his eyes away from the diary and urgently controlled the blood piano sword to change its direction.
One of them almost fell off the sword before he could stand still.
Afterwards, Jiang Qiao entered Mu Qinggan's cave.
Although the person is dead, entering Mu Qinggan's realm is still a bit scary.
Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, then opened the door with great caution.
He only knew the location of Mu Qinggan Cave before, but had never entered it.
Different from Li Wentian's cave, Mu Qinggan's cave has a wider view and a larger space. The residence of the sect master's direct disciple is indeed different.
Not only is the scenery near the location of the cave mansion beautiful, practicing in such a place will also have a strong beneficial effect.
This place is really big, so it will probably take a while to find things here.
Jiang Qiao came to the bookshelf and rummaged through the cabinet for a long time, but there was nothing special or noticeable. Except for some women's clothing and accessories, there seems to be nothing that will be useful to me in the short term.
Mu Qinggan's storage rings are much more valuable than the things in the cave. After rummaging around, he didn't find anything useful. There were a lot of spiritual stones, but the exercise books were also very basic. The kind that everyone has a copy of.
Jiang Qiao was about to leave, but suddenly he heard a female voice: "Who are you? Are you Qing Gan?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiao suddenly froze on the spot.
He couldn't tell who the voice came from. It might be because it had a crying tone, or it might be because he only heard one sentence and the voice was very soft. Jiang Qiao was in a panic and didn't listen carefully.
It doesn't feel like someone I know. Mu Qinggan didn't leave the sect's boundary today at all, so he was considered a missing person. How could he come back alive?
Jiang Qiao's figure certainly wouldn't be mistaken for a girl.
When he entered the cave just now, he looked around inside and out, but he didn't notice the existence of the second person at all. It was just so silent.
He immediately dodged and left Mu Qinggan's cave. After confirming that no one was chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, hidden dangers still remain.
Just because Jiang Qiao didn't see that person, it didn't mean that person didn't see Jiang Qiao.
If that person just now was the sect leader and entered Mu Qinggan's cave to see things and miss people because Mu Qinggan lost contact, wouldn't he just now...
Hope not.
When dealing with the sect leader, it is indeed difficult to ensure that the secret is not exposed.
The Transformation Pill seems to have provided him with a lot of conveniences, but even with the Transformation Pill, Jiang Qiao will not try to replace Mu Qinggan for the time being.
Now that Mu Qinggan is dead, her collection is not what Jiang Qiao needs to pay attention to right now.
Jiang Qiao didn't know Chen Bai very well, but judging from the fact that Feng Cheng wanted to kill Chen Bai at that time and the diary, Chen Bai must have something extraordinary or some background, and he should have some unique value.
Now that I have Chen Bai's storage ring, I naturally want to take a look. It's just Chen Bai's cave, I don't know where it is.
However, someone should know where it is. Jiang Qiao didn't have time to ask the people around him, which would take too much time and easily lead to suspicion. Especially if he wanted to know about the Demon Sect, he had to be even more cautious.
And I don’t know when Chen Bai’s things will be cleaned up, so I have to race against time.
Passing by the duty post, he thought of a comprehensive method.
For example, the disciples who patrol at night.
The Canglan Sect has a rule that when it is time to check the posts at night, the disciples will take turns to check the posts, and there will be a list in the book that will show the list of all the disciples in the cave.
If a disciple does not stay overnight in the cave, he will be punished with a demerit. If he is demerited multiple times, he will be expelled.
If you can see the list of any person in the book, you can easily find Chen Bai's residence through the numbered address on the list.
As for through what identity, well.
Jiang Qiao didn't plan to use his identity to ask directly, for fear that there would be a lot of trouble later.
He used the Transformation Pill to transform into a senior sister named Xiao Hanhan and came to the side room on duty.
When the disciples saw Senior Sister coming, they all said hello to Senior Sister: "Hello, Senior Sister Xiao!" They even brought her a plump tangerine.
One of the disciples said: "Sister, you are finally here. I still didn't know the exercises last time. Can you teach me this time?"
Another disciple said: "You always ask for help from Senior Sister. I also have a problem here. Senior Sister, you can also teach me..."
Jiang Qiao, who transformed into Xiao Hanhan, smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid senior sister can't help you today, but senior sister wants you to help me."
Jiang Qiao tried hard to imitate Xiao Hanhan's way of speaking. This Transformation Pill can imitate the body and voice. As long as the user has a memory of the object he wants to transform, he can easily transform.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?"
One of the disciples cast an earnest look at Xiao Hanhan. He was happy to handle some matters within his power for Xiao Hanhan.
"I want to secretly go to the black market today. How about you guys help me accommodate me and just pretend that I'm in the cave?"
Jiang Qiao knew that Xiao Hanhan was a member of the patrol team that went to the black market. Emergencies outside the sect were mostly solved in this way.
He and Xiao Hanhan had met several times and were relatively familiar with each other. She would always talk to herself about these big and small things on duty.
"Sure, Senior Sister, I'll help you get rid of it. Isn't it the same before? It's nothing like helping. I've long been used to it. Senior Sister, I'll help you get rid of it."
"This time I will go and erase my name from the books myself."
"Okay, senior sister, I'll give it to you."
This was the first time for Jiang Qiao to look through the books, and it would indeed take him a while to find the address of Chen Bai's cave.
He flipped through six pages, but still didn't see Chen Bai's cave address, and was a little anxious.
Seeing that Jiang Qiao had been looking for it for a long time, the disciple was a little confused: "Senior sister, yours is on the fourth page. I remember it. Don't turn it by mistake."
While the disciple was talking, Jiang Qiao turned to page seven. The first name was Chen Bai!
Jiang Qiao quickly glanced at the location and flipped the page back to the fourth page. The entire process took no more than two seconds.
"Ah, I found it. As expected, junior brother has a good memory. It seems that the task of checking the guard is really handy~"
The disciple was so embarrassed by the praise that he blushed. When Jiang Qiao walked out, he said obediently: "Goodbye, senior sister!"
Even Jiang Qiao didn't expect that his first time dressing up as a woman would be so successful. His acting skills were barely able to deceive the male disciples who were inexperienced in the world.
Fortunately, he didn't waste much time. Jiang Qiao continued flying with his sword and soon arrived at Chen Bai's residence.
Chen Bai's residence is different from others. Li Wentian's cave is sloppy, and Mu Qinggan's cave is as clean as a girl's home.
But Chen Bai's cave is full of bones...
Thanks for the January ticket when the drizzle is a bit heavy. The boss is very generous! ! !
