I hang up and lie flat in the world of martial arts

Chapter 187 Night Travel Clothes

"Fourth brother, what you are holding is the invitation from the first floor!" Qi Yuyao asked tentatively.

Shouldn't Qi Yuyao follow Qiu Lingfeng to practice martial arts in a remote area at this time?
But when he turned around and thought about it, how could Qi Yuyao not be interested in the martial arts conference with his character? He immediately nodded: "It is indeed an invitation from the first floor."

The martial arts conference will officially begin in three days.

Although Qi Xuan does not plan to participate, it is still okay to take a look at the event.

There were many experts participating this time, and it just happened to give him some exposure.

"Fourth brother——" Qi Yuyao's face suddenly burst into a warm smile, and his voice became sweet.

"Second sister, don't do this with me!" Qi Xuan said with a smile, "I might as well tell you that this time the first floor gave me a total of seven invitations. I kept three for myself and the remaining four. Give Zhang Quan to your grandfather, if you want to ask your grandfather for help!"

Qi Yuyao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Give it to your grandfather Qi Jiang, wouldn’t it be like holding it in your hands!

Qi Xuan very generously took out four invitations and handed them to Qi Yuyao, then squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "In that case, I would like to trouble Second Sister to go there for me."

"It's on me!" Qi Yuyao almost snatched the invitation away, and then vowed: "I must hand it over to my grandfather properly."

After saying that, he left like a gust of wind.

Upon seeing this, Qi Xuan just shook his head and smiled, and then went out and headed towards his parents' residence.

I kept three of them just because I wanted to ask my father and mother if they wanted to go.

When Qi Xuan explained to his parents that Tao Yufei was Zhao Lingyue's biological mother, both Qi Yan and Li expressed their desire to meet.

Now that Zhao Lingyue's grandfather has passed away, it can be said that Zhao Lingyue has no relatives except Zhao Wuji's family.

Although Tao Yufei has remarried, she is still Zhao Lingyue's biological mother.

It’s also appropriate to meet him.

"It's just... there won't be any danger in the martial arts conference, right?" Qi Yan said worriedly.

The encounters he experienced in Ning'an Mansion during these days were more exciting than those in the first half of his life, and they also gave him an initial taste of the dangers of the world.

Danger……

To be honest, there may be no safer place than the first floor during a martial arts competition.

……

Late at night, Qi Xuan, who was sleeping with Qingqing in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes.

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

What about Gao Jie?
It was obvious that someone had broken into Qi Mansion.

But Gao Jie didn't notice.

Qi Xuan carefully took out his hands and feet, and then covered Qingqing with the quilt.

After confirming that Qingqing was not awakened by him, Qi Xuan walked out of the room and came to the empty yard.

"Friend, you don't have to hide your head and tail when you're here," he said coldly.

There was still silence in the night.

"He is really not afraid of death!" Qi Xuan said, suddenly stretched out a finger, and an invisible air sword instantly penetrated the corner of the wall.

boom!
There was a muffled sound in the darkness, and a figure fell from the wall in the dark corner.

"Gao Jie, come here quickly!" Qi Xuan said in a deep voice.

At this time, Gao Jie, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed somewhere in the front yard, suddenly woke up, and then the words of the Fourth Young Master continued to echo in his ears.

"Gao Jie, come here quickly!"

No, something happened!

Gao Jie stood up suddenly, startling Gao Hao who was also taking a nap next to him.

"Fourth, what's wrong?" Gao Hao asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Third brother, did you hear anything?" Gao Jie, who had already reached the door, suddenly looked back and asked.

Gao Hao shook his head in confusion: "No, did you hear something?"

After hearing this, Gao Jie stopped talking, took a deep breath and rushed towards Qi Xuan's yard.

……

"Four sons."

Seeing Gao Jie coming, Qi Xuan pointed to the corner of the wall expressionlessly and said: "The man is right there, interrogate him carefully to find out how he deceived your eyes and ears and sneaked into the Qi Mansion."

Gao Jie's nose twitched and he could already smell a faint smell of blood.

Plus the faint sound of breathing in the corner...

He took a breath, then solemnly bowed and said "yes"!
Gao Jie quickly came to the wall, dragged the man out, and stretched out his hand to check for his pulse.

Ok!

He was just knocked unconscious by the internal shock.

Gao Jie checked it carefully again and found that except for the puncture wound on the thigh, there were no other injuries.

After confirming that the other party's life was not in danger, Gao Jie's eyes gradually turned cold.

"What a little thief, I made a fool of myself in front of the Fourth Young Master. I, Gao Jie, have to let you know what hell is on earth!"

……

The person had been handed over to Gao Jie, and Qi Xuan went back to sleep.

The next afternoon, when Qi Xuan got up, he saw Gao Jie who had been waiting in the courtyard early.

I saw Gao Jie respectfully presenting a black object.

"Is this something that has been hidden from your eyes and ears?" Qi Xuan glanced at it with disgust and recognized that it was the night clothes worn by the man last night.

"It's this piece of clothing made of extremely weird materials!" Gao Jie nodded and continued, "This man's martial arts is not very high. It is only because of this night clothes that he can hide it from the guards and... subordinates in the mansion."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xuan reached out and touched Ye Xingyi, and noticed something was wrong after taking it.

He picked up the night clothes again and weighed them in his hands, then smiled and said: "There really is such a light and weightless material in this world."

The whole night jacket seems to be empty in my hand!
Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "This clothes can isolate a certain amount of inner breath, so my subordinates didn't notice this thief sneaking in."

"Where are the people?" Qi Xuan threw Ye Xingyi aside and then asked, "What did you ask?"

Gao Jie nodded: "This person's surname is Lu and his given name is Shaoyun. He is a well-known thief on the road. He has committed many crimes by holding his breath and Qinggong."

"But according to what he said, this night clothes did not belong to him, but someone gave him plus 3000 taels of silver and asked him to come to Qi Mansion to steal something..."

"what?"

"The box that Taoist Master Qiu of Shangqing Temple gave you not long ago."

I came here for the Millennium Black Ice Essence!
Qi Xuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "Go to a remote area and ask Taoist Master Qiu to come over. He is the only one."

"Yes!"

……

Not long after, Qiu Lingfeng came as requested.

Qi Xuan directly informed him of what happened last night.

"What!" Qiu Lingfeng stood up from his chair in surprise.

"Brother Qiu, don't panic. The box is still under my bed." Qi Xuan said with a smile.

Qiu Lingfeng obviously didn't think so. He said solemnly: "Not many people in the audience know that the box contains thousand-year black ice marrow."

In other words, the insiders of Shangqingguan are among the few people who know about it.

The various disasters caused by the Wuji Demon Sword and Tang Tianque in Shangqing Temple back then were caused by someone acting as an insider.

On this point, Qi Xuan and Qian Guan advocated that He Ming had already reached a consensus.

Zhang Heming even promised that if Qi Xuan could help Shangqing Guan grasp this internal response, he could even make an exception and teach him the Taiqing Gong that only previous masters could practice!
Seeing Qiu Lingfeng's serious expression, Qi Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Senior Uncle Liu Shi know about this?" Qiu Lingfeng was startled at first, then shook his head: "It just so happens that Senior Uncle Liu Shi doesn't know about this."

In other words, there is a high probability that this insider is not Liu Shi.

When he first saw Liu Xunfeng arriving with Qiu Lingfeng, Qi Xuan wondered in his heart whether Shangqingguan had determined that Liu Shi was the insider.

That's why Liu Xunfeng was sent away specifically to clean up the house.

Judging from Qiu Lingfeng's expression, Qi Xuan's previous guess should be correct.

It's just that the people at Shangqingguan seemed to have guessed wrong. Liu Shi was not the insider!

Qiu Lingfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "The only people who know about this are Master, Junior Sister Yafeng, me, Senior Uncle and Second Junior Uncle."

If Neiying is among these people, it will indeed be a painful blow to Shangqingguan.

Qi Xuan rubbed his chin and pondered.

He always felt that things were not that simple.

If Neiying were among these people, wouldn't they know Qi Xuan's current cultivation level.

Even if he could hide it from ordinary experts with his night clothes, he still couldn't escape Qi Xuan's perception.

There is always a feeling that someone is setting a trap in secret, but I don’t know who the trap is for.

"Junior Brother Qi, may I ask if the thief is still in the house?" Qiu Lingfeng asked solemnly.

Qi Xuan nodded, and then added: "If Senior Brother Qiu wants to ask anything, you can go directly to Gao Jie and ask him to take you to the place where you are being held."

Hearing this, Qiu Lingfeng's face showed a touch of relief, and then he said solemnly: "Thank you, Junior Brother Qi."

Watching Qiu Lingfeng leave with Gao Jie, Qi Xuan thought about it and asked Gao Ying to be found.

"Find a way to check Lu Shaoyun."

"Yes!"

……

It's a day, and the scorching sun is high.

Outside the first floor, people from all walks of life were crowded.

But the door to the first floor was closed.

"What's going on? Didn't the martial arts conference happen today?"

"Yes, without me, Zhang Sandao, can this martial arts conference still be called a martial arts conference?"

"Brother Zhang is so heroic!"

……

Just as the crowd was shouting, the door to the first floor slowly opened.

An old man walked out and smiled and cupped his hands to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, the martial arts conference is indeed today, but the place where it is held is not on the first floor!"

After saying that, the old man pointed to the tall building behind him and continued to smile: "How can the participating heroes show off their talents on a mere first floor!"

……

Qi Xuan did not expect that the first floor would choose such a place to hold this martial arts conference!
"Just here, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it if we go any further!" Qi Xuan signaled the carriage to stop and got off first.

In front of me is the former Sword Making Villa!
But now, half of the Sword-making Villa has sunk into the underground fire cave, with a few scattered rock pillars standing on top of the rolling magma.

After Qi Yan and Li got off the carriage, they were also stunned by the scene not far away!

"Hiss—" Qi Yuyao took a breath of the slightly hot air and said in surprise, "This is... the venue for the martial arts competition."

"Everyone..." Sikong Xiang came towards us with a group of people and said with a happy face, "Are you satisfied with the location of this martial arts conference?"

……

For the convenience of viewing, the originally intact front yard of Zhujian Villa has been completely demolished, and dozens of pergolas have been erected near the cliff.

I have to say that Sikong Xiang’s location selection is indeed very clever.

The position of the pergola is just right. If you take a step forward, you can feel the hot air waves from the ground.

"Then they are going to compete on top of the magma?" Qining asked in disbelief.

He had just experienced something next to the cliff, and the hot breath made him even breathe quickly, let alone fight with others.

Qi Xuan patiently explained: "For ordinary people, this place is a place of despair, but for the masters participating in this martial arts conference, this place is also a treasure!"

Especially those who practice the Zhiyang Zhichun method, with the power of earth fire, they may be able to exert more than 100% strength.

While talking, Qi Xuan glanced at the pergola not far away.

His parents were chatting happily with Tao Yufei there.

Sikong Xiang was sensible and did not show up.

Not only Sikong Xiang, but even the 16 people participating in this martial arts conference have not shown up yet.

The pergola was filled with guests invited to watch the battle.

Qi Xuan also found many familiar faces among them.

Qiu Lingfeng didn't need to say much, he still had a heavy expression on his face.

There is also Master Guangning of the Chunyang Sect. There is a strange Taoist beside him, who looks to be about the same age as Master Guangning.

Soon, Qi Xuan knew this person's identity from other people's names.

Master Yuxu, the eldest disciple of Master Guangning, and the future leader of the Chunyang Sect.

On the Shaolin side was Fa Yin, who had lost all his martial arts and looked much older than before.

Apart from Xuanzhen, who was attending the conference, no one else was invited to the Kongang Temple.

The same goes for Jiu Xuan Sect. Except for Ying Xue, who was participating in the competition, no other disciples came.

People from the Zhenwu Sect live in the same shed as the Shen family, and Shen Qingyang of the Shen family is also the elder of the Zhenwu Sect.

To say that the one with the largest number of people would have to be the Shanhe League.

Above the pergola, cloud flags of mountains and rivers flutter in the wind.

Under the flag, the three elders Tianquan, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang sat side by side, and the disciples and disciples behind them were all even more powerful.

As if he sensed someone peeping, Yaoguang elder Dong Hanyan tilted his head slightly and met Qi Xuan's gaze with a pair of cold beautiful eyes.

After seeing it was Qi Xuan, Dong Hanyan looked away as if nothing happened.

This scene fell in the eyes of Luo Chaosheng who was beside Dong Hanyan, and he also caught a glimpse of Qi Xuan from the corner of his eye.

"This Master Qi Xuan is more accomplished than the one in your family, Elder Dong, both in terms of martial arts and character. Are you serious about not considering it?" Luo Chaosheng said with a hint of teasing.

bang bang...

Dong Hanyan said nothing, but the scimitar at his waist suddenly shook violently.

Luo Chaosheng's eyes condensed for an instant.

……

While Qi Xuan was looking at the people around him, someone was also looking at him.

Zhujian Villa is on the top of the back mountain.

"He really made a scene at that time, dragging his whole family here." Luo Lie chuckled, and then slowly lowered his finger.

"It's not like you don't know his character. In his eyes, the martial arts conference is nothing more than a lively event!" It was Feng Jiuqing who was playing against Luo Lie. He sighed softly, and then he also lost a piece.

"Have you really decided to leave it alone?" Feng Jiuqing suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Luo Lie's hand paused for a moment before he slowly retracted the chess pieces and put the chess pieces back into the urn. Luo Lie stood up, and the token around his waist was particularly eye-catching.

"I'm old, it's up to you to take the next step!"
