My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1369 Strange
Zhou Xing's heart tightened, and he hurried to comfort Le Tong, while carefully checking the score of "Breaking the Formation". As soon as he saw it, he discovered the secret, it turned out that the music of the Demon Sect was hidden in this song.

At this time, Ling Xue, wearing a gorgeous dance dress, appeared in the palace garden as a court dancer. She had sharp eyes and was looking for a suitable business opportunity for the family business. Suddenly, a melodious sound of the pipa came into her ears. The sound was like crying and complaining, which was in line with the mind of the Haoqing Sect. Ling Xue's heart moved, and she followed the sound and saw Zhou Xing playing. She pretended to sprain her ankle and deliberately approached Zhou Xing, and the Haoqing Ling in her sleeve was slightly hot.

Zhou Xing saw Ling Xue sprained her ankle and hurried forward to help her. Ling Xue stood up and taunted, "Can a musician playing the lute be called elegant?" Zhou Xing frowned slightly, but did not say anything, just continued to play the pipa in his hand. Just when he played to the passionate part, the string suddenly broke and flew out. However, the broken string accurately shot down the poisonous arrow shot from the dark. Ling Xue was startled, and looked at Zhou Xing with a strange look in her eyes.

Not long after, Ling Xue came to Zhou Xing's music studio under the pretext of rehearsing a new dance. On the surface, she came to appreciate the music, but in fact, she was secretly testing Zhou Xing's ability. Zhou Xing was not ambiguous and started to compose a new song on the spot. While composing the music, he put the magic sound into the five strings and played a strange melody. Ling Xue secretly observed from the side, and the silver bell on her skirt vibrated with the music, showing the dark pattern of Haoqing Sect.

However, under the calm surface, there were undercurrents. Seeing that Ling Xue valued Zhou Xing's music so much, the rival musician became jealous, so he bribed Zhou Xing's zither boy with a large sum of money and stole the score of "Pozhen Qu". Zhou Xing soon noticed something was wrong, and he deliberately mixed a wrong note into the score. Those who stole the music played according to the score, which triggered the emperor's old headache.

One night, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue had a secret meeting in the cold palace. Not long after they sat down, a sudden downpour began outside the window, and then an arrow shot into the house with a blood-written letter on it. It read: "At midnight three days later, burn the music house." Zhou Xing and Ling Xue looked at each other, and they both realized that this matter was not simple.

Ling Xue made a prompt decision and decided to take advantage of the situation. She announced to the public that she was going to rehearse the "Devil Dance" and asked Zhou Xing to create a batch of fake "Soul-stealing Songs". Zhou Xing worked day and night, and in the process of composing, he accidentally discovered that the core of the music score actually required the blood of the Demon Sect to drive it.

At the appointed time, the music hall was silent, seemingly defenseless. However, when the assassins broke in, they triggered the string trap. Zhou Xing played a rapid piece of music, and the sound waves shattered the assassins' meridians like a sharp blade. Ling Xue took the opportunity to pierce the assassin leader's throat with a golden hairpin. Before dying, the assassin leader sneered: "Nine thousand tribulations are only the third one, can you live to ascend?"

After the battle, the bloodstained music scores on the ground suddenly turned into starlight and sank into the brows of the two. At this time, Ling Xue's maid hurried over and handed over a secret letter. The letter revealed that the opponent's musician was actually the regent's spy, and the emperor had hidden the imperial seal of the previous dynasty under his pillow. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue realized that there seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

In order to find out the truth, the two disguised themselves and sneaked into the imperial study. With his superb music skills, Zhou Xing successfully mixed into the team that performed for the emperor. He found a secret compartment in the imperial study. After opening the secret compartment, he found a huge underground secret room. The jade table in the secret room was engraved with magic spells.

Ling Xue carefully searched for clues in the library. She found that the history book was encrypted by the magic sect. After some decryption, the history book showed that the royal family was secretly extracting the souls of musicians to refine the elixir of immortality. What shocked her even more was that the list of dancers overlapped with the list of traitors of the Haoqing Sect.

Just as Zhou Xing was about to repair the seal of the jade platform, the pursuers arrived. Ling Xue made a prompt decision and threw out all her belongings - a hundred Donghai pearls. The pearl light illuminated the secret room, and the dragon pattern on the jade seal resonated with the ancient zither of the Haoqing Sect. For a moment, time and space seemed to be frozen, and the powerful force stopped the pursuers in their tracks.

The demon soul in the jade platform took the opportunity to tempt Zhou Xing: "Stay and guard for me, and I will give you the title of the eternal music saint." Zhou Xing sneered, and while reshaping the seal with sound waves, he said: "I am a disciple of Hao Qing, how can I be in cahoots with you." At this moment, Ling Xue suddenly put the dagger against his back and said coldly: "Don't forget that we are here to experience disasters, not to be saviors."

Zhou Xing's heart shuddered, but he did not stop his actions. Soon, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation descended, and the powerful lightning shattered the jade platform. Zhou Xing's body gradually dissipated, and his consciousness condensed into a zither peg, sealing the jade seal forever in Ling Xue's dressing box.

Ling Xue looked at the direction where Zhou Xing disappeared, her eyes full of sorrow. At this time, the maid in charge handed over the Jiaowei Qin left by Zhou Xing. Ling Xue opened the case, and inside were 81 broken strings, each of which was engraved with the rhythm of a different small world.

Ling Xue returned to the palace, and she hung a plaque in her bedroom that read "Zhou Xingzhe's Qin Room". After each dance, she would drop a pearl into the box. However, one day, the richest man list suddenly changed hands. The new Qin player turned out to be Zhou Xing's reincarnation, and he wore the ice silk ribbon Ling Xue had given him.

After Zhou Xing's reincarnation, he quickly emerged in the court music world with the memory and skills of his previous life. He met Ling Xue again, and they smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the time when they first met.

At a palace banquet, a konghou with magic patterns appeared. Ling Xue knew at a glance that this item was related to the Demon Sect, and she bid for it without hesitation. When she touched the konghou, Zhou Xing's blood oath appeared on the neck of the konghou: "If I don't ascend to heaven in this life, I am willing to accompany you."

At this time, the ascension platform of Haoqing Sect had been covered with dust for a hundred years. Elder Shoushan wiped the 9,999th step and murmured to himself: "I heard that there are more harmonious couples in the world recently?" And in the distant sky, it seemed that there were two stars shining. That was the story of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, which was still continuing...

Zhou Xing slowly woke up and found his surroundings extremely unfamiliar. He found himself in a simple woodworking workshop, with sawdust and unfinished wooden objects all over the floor. He was full of doubts and walked around the room. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the face reflected in the bronze mirror, which was very different from his original appearance. He looked at his hands again, which were covered with calluses, obviously caused by years of hard work.

At this moment, an apprentice stumbled into the workshop and shouted anxiously, "Master, this is bad! The 'Thousand Machine Crossbow' that we carefully crafted has been seized by the boss, who said he wanted to give it to the county governor. What should we do?" Zhou Xing's heart tightened, and he hurried to comfort the apprentice while carefully examining the "Thousand Machine Crossbow". He discovered the secret at a glance. It turned out that the crossbow contained the magic sect's mechanical technique.

At this time, Ling Xue, wearing a gorgeous silk robe, appeared in the auction house as the richest person in the Great Zhou Dynasty. She had sharp eyes and was looking for a suitable business opportunity for her family business. Suddenly, an exquisite sandalwood abacus came into her sight. The patterns on the abacus were so delicate that they matched the talisman formation of the Haoqing Sect. Ling Xue's heart moved and she immediately signaled her men to take the abacus.

Zhou Xing, looking at the "Thousand Machine Crossbow" seized by the boss, was filled with resentment. He decided to dismantle the seized crossbow in public to prove its value. When he was halfway through dismantling it, Ling Xue happened to pass by. She stopped to watch, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, and saw that the mechanical parts in Zhou Xing's hand magically combined into the secret code of Haoqing Sect in the air. Ling Xue's heart moved, pretending not to know, and whispered sarcastically: "A craftsman's petty skills are worthy of praise?" Zhou Xing frowned slightly, did not speak, but continued the action in his hands. Not long after, Ling Xue came to Zhou Xing's workshop on the pretext of ordering a hundred water wheels. On the surface, she came to place an order, but in fact she was secretly testing Zhou Xing's ability. Zhou Xing was also unambiguous and began to design the drawings on the spot. During the drawing process, he inadvertently integrated the magic pattern into the gear. Ling Xue secretly observed from the side, and the Haoqing Order in her sleeves was slightly hot.

However, under the calm surface, there were undercurrents. Seeing that Ling Xue valued Zhou Xing's craftsmanship so much, the rival business became jealous, so they bribed Zhou Xing's apprentice with a large sum of money and stole the blueprint of the "Thousand Machine Crossbow". Zhou Xing soon noticed something was wrong, and he deliberately mixed some wrong runes into the blueprint. After those who stole the blueprint got the blueprint, they followed the blueprint, and the mechanism exploded, making a big joke.

One night, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue had a secret meeting in a teahouse. Not long after they sat down, a sudden downpour broke out outside the window, and then an arrow shot into the house with a blood-written letter on it. It read: "Three days later at midnight, Ling's cloth shop will be destroyed." Zhou Xing and Ling Xue looked at each other, and they both realized that this matter was not simple.

Ling Xue made a prompt decision and decided to take advantage of the situation. She announced to the public that the cloth shop would transform into selling mechanical toys, and asked Zhou Xing to make a batch of fake "Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles". Zhou Xing worked day and night, and in the process of making them, he accidentally discovered that the core of the mechanism actually required the blood of the Demon Sect to activate.

At the appointed time, the cloth shop was silent, seemingly defenseless. However, when the assassins broke in, they triggered a series of traps. The mechanical beasts designed by Zhou Xing rushed out from all directions and surrounded the assassins. Ling Xue took the opportunity to pierce the throat of the assassin leader with a golden hairpin. Before the assassin leader died, he sneered: "Nine thousand tribulations are only the third one, can you live to ascend?"

After the battle, the debris of the machine guns on the ground suddenly turned into starlight and sank into the brows of the two. At this time, Ling Xue's maid hurried over and handed over a secret letter. The letter revealed that the rival business was actually a secret agent of the court, and the secret room in the county magistrate's study contained a map of the dragon veins of the previous dynasty. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue realized that there seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

In order to find out the truth, the two sneaked into the county governor's mansion in disguise. With his superb craftsmanship, Zhou Xing successfully mixed into the repair team of the county governor's mansion. He found a secret door in the county governor's study. After opening the secret door, he found a huge underground cave. The dragon pillars in the cave were engraved with ancient words of the Demon Sect.

Ling Xue carefully searched for clues in the account office. She found that the account book was encrypted by the magic sect. After some decryption, the account book showed that the court was secretly collecting craftsmen's souls (the souls of craftsmen) to refine the undead army. What shocked her even more was that the list of the richest people overlapped with the list of traitors of the Haoqing Sect.

Just as Zhou Xing was about to repair the seal of the dragon pillar, the pursuers arrived. Ling Xue made a prompt decision and threw out all her belongings - three thousand mermaid lanterns. The lights illuminated the entire cave, and the star map on the top of the cave resonated with the Haoqing Sect's observatory. For a moment, time and space seemed to be frozen, and the powerful force stopped the pursuers in their tracks.

The devil in the dragon pillar took the opportunity to tempt Zhou Xing: "Stay here to guard for me, and I will give you the title of the eternal craftsman god." Zhou Xing sneered, and while reshaping the seal with mechanical skills, he said: "I am a disciple of Hao Qing, how can I be in cahoots with you." At this moment, Ling Xue suddenly put a dagger against his back and said coldly: "Don't forget that we are here to experience disasters, not to be saviors."

Zhou Xing's heart shuddered, but he did not stop his actions. Soon, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation descended, and the powerful lightning shattered the dragon pillar. Zhou Xing's body gradually dissipated, and his consciousness condensed into a craftsman soul nail, permanently sealing the dragon vein into Ling Xue's caravan carriage.

Ling Xue looked at the direction where Zhou Xing disappeared, her eyes full of sorrow. At this time, the shopkeeper handed over the sandalwood box left by Zhou Xing. Ling Xue opened the box, and inside were ninety unfinished jade gears, each of which was engraved with the coordinates of a different small world.

Ling Xue returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty. She hung a plaque of "Zhou Xing Craftsman's Pavilion" in the Ling's main hall. Every time she made a deal, she would put a gear into the box. However, one day, the richest man list suddenly changed hands. The new businessman turned out to be Zhou Xing's reincarnation, and he had the golden thread Ling Xue gave him.

After Zhou Xing's reincarnation, he quickly emerged in the business world of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the memories and skills of his previous life. He met Ling Xue again, and they smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the time when they first met.

At an auction, a bronze tripod with magic patterns appeared. Ling Xue knew at a glance that this item was related to the Demon Sect, and she bid for it without hesitation. When she touched the bronze tripod, Zhou Xing's blood oath appeared on the tripod: "If I don't ascend to heaven in this life, I am willing to hold the lamp for you."

At this time, the ascension platform of Haoqing Sect had been covered with dust for a hundred years. Elder Shoushan wiped the 9,999th step and murmured to himself: "I heard that there is a couple with extraordinary talent in the world recently?" And in the distant sky, it seemed that there were two stars shining. That was the story of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, which was still continuing...

Zhou Xing slowly woke up in the ruins. He felt a sharp pain in his head, as if it was about to explode. The surroundings were in ruins, tall buildings collapsed, and the streets were full of debris and blood. He looked down at himself. His clothes were tattered and exuded a foul smell.

Suddenly, there was a sharp cry in the distance. Zhou Xing looked up and saw a group of zombies chasing a girl. The girl looked very thin and frail. She ran desperately with fear on her face. Zhou Xing's heart moved, and an inexplicable impulse drove him to walk towards the girl.

When he approached the girl, the zombies suddenly stopped, then knelt down before him, making low roars. Zhou Xing was stunned, he didn't understand what was going on. At this time, Ling Xue was hiding behind a car, and seeing this scene, her eyes were full of shock. She picked up a crossbow from the car and shot at Zhou Xing.

The crossbow arrow hit Zhou Xing's arm, but he didn't react at all, just looked at Ling Xue quietly. Ling Xue took the opportunity to turn around and run away, Zhou Xing didn't chase her, but stood there, looking at the direction she left.
