MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 88 88%
Ji Qingzhuo turned around and wrapped the quilt tightly around her body. She used some mana last night and she has recovered now. It must be that Shen Rongyu tightened the clockwork while she was asleep.
She just looked at Shen Rongyu in the courtyard, her eyes were still empty, she was a little dazed, her whole body was limp and lazy, and she didn't want to get up.
Ji Qingzhuo is actually a bed-ridden person. After coming to Xuanyunzong, he was forced into a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early by the high-intensity practice life. Now that he is out of the mountain gate, Shen Rongyu doesn't care about her. Also slack off.
When Ji Qingzhuo turned around, Shen Rongyu heard a slight sound. He retracted his sword, turned around, looked at her and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Wake up." Ji Qingzhuo responded, and she asked, "Xiaoyu, are you alright?"
In fact, in the middle of the night last night, his strength had fully recovered, and sticking to Ji Qingzhuo could indeed speed up the recovery of his strength, because... the red umbrella was in Ji Qingzhuo's hand.
"Xiaoyu lied to me by saying it would take two days." Ji Qingzhuo remembered what he said last night, and was a little annoyed, so he lifted his quilt... no, it was Shen Rongyu's quilt, and covered his head.
Shen Rongyu put down the Jianxue sword and walked towards her. He lifted a corner of the quilt to let her breathe fresh air, and asked her, "Can't you pay me back?"
Ji Qingzhuo blinked, and she said, "You...you block the screen."
When she got up, she naturally had to wash up. Now that Shen Rongyu was here, she was nervous.
Shen Rongyu left as expected, not only blocked the screen for her, but also closed the door of the main room.
Ji Qingzhuo got up, went back to her room to change clothes, and began to wash slowly. Now that Shen Rongyu recovered, she had time to think about what happened last night. The black cat she saw on the red wall was a demon , and it is a much more powerful demon than Shen Rongyu... What is his purpose for coming here?
No matter how much she thought, she never thought that the black shadow was coming towards the umbrella in her hand.
While eating breakfast, Ji Qingzhuo lightly chewed the vegetable leaves in his mouth, and asked Shen Rongyu, "Xiaoyu, is that demon very powerful?"
"It's very powerful." Shen Rongyu's tone this time was a little bit darker - the reason why he wanted to lurk in Xuanyunzong was because his strength was exhausted, and he had to hide himself during the recovery period. He even killed an elder Jiang Qian who was out of his body. To kill him, he had to use his own formation to fight back. If it was a face-to-face confrontation, he would not be able to compete with Jiang Qianke at this time.
This black shadow is not an opponent he can deal with at present, he is too difficult.
"In that case, should we leave Xuanyunzong first?" Ji Qingzhuo hesitated for a moment, but still made a suggestion.
"Here is the prey you are looking for, we managed to sneak in here." Shen Rongyu didn't intend to make Ji Qingzhuo give up.
The purpose of this kind of demon coming here is obvious, Shen Rongyu knows that maybe his identity has been exposed—maybe it has something to do with the red umbrella he gave Ji Qingzhuo, but an umbrella alone is not enough for people to lock the target After all, although everyone avoids umbrellas, there are many mortals who use umbrellas, and some low-key monks secretly use umbrellas as magic weapons.
He never regretted giving Ji Qingzhuo that umbrella, since she can use it, then she should use it.
Shen Rongyu lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge, then said warmly: "You don't need to leave, we just don't need to reveal our identities, remember to put away your... umbrella."
"Okay." Ji Qingzhuo didn't ask why, and quickly agreed to Shen Rongyu's words, she was always so obedient.
After breakfast, Shen Rongyu suddenly remembered something, and asked her: "Learned a new formation yesterday?"
"It's not a new formation, it's a protective formation developed by myself." Ji Qingzhuo took out the blueprint he wrote yesterday and handed it to Shen Rongyu.
Shen Rongyu glanced briefly at the contents of the blueprint, and he understood why Jiang Qianke mistook her for... desolate, because she was not only good at solving formations, but also the ability to create formations, regardless of the realm of cultivation, had already It was higher than Jiang Qianke.
This mirror array is mainly composed of water aura and wind aura. It has almost no attack ability, but its defense ability is extremely strong. The countless mirrors made of frost can not only confuse the enemies who enter the array like a peach blossom mist array, And it can also reflect the attack released by the opponent. The most terrifying thing is...every time these mirrors reflect an attack, it will not attenuate it, but increase the energy of each attack. When it is reflected back to the enemy, the enemy may no longer be able to Resisted.
She is indeed...a formation genius. If her cultivation level increases, her strengthened consciousness can carry a greater amount of calculations, and it will not be difficult to create a formation that is not weaker than the Earth Vein and Star Formation.
However, Shen Rongyu never suspected that she was Huang Xie, he thought this guess was ridiculous.
Observing Ji Qingzhuo these days, he also guessed the reason why Ji Qingzhuo's calculation ability is so outstanding. Her body is weak because her physical advantages are concentrated in calculation ability. She is like a well-designed... Creations, she was born to think.
However, she is so lazy, she just doesn't want to think, and it is difficult for her to move.
Ji Qingzhuo felt that Shen Rongyu was observing herself with lowered eyes, she raised her head and looked in his direction, with some doubts: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Shen Rongyu's voice was light, "Do you want to try the effect of the mirror array?"
"Can I try it?" Ji Qingzhuo was actually worried about troubling Shen Rongyu.
"Yes." Shen Rongyu also practiced swords by herself, so it doesn't matter if she brings Ji Qingzhuo with her.
Therefore, Ji Qingzhuo unfolded her mirror array in front of Shen Rongyu. Now that her cultivation base is low, she only dared to pass the ninth level of Qi refining a few days ago, and it may take a few days before she can build a foundation, so she can release it. The size of the mirror array can only cover half of the yard.
Shen Rongyu took the initiative to be in it, surrounded by countless ice crystal mirrors, he considered his strength, and the Burial Snow Sword shot out a sword light, going straight towards Ji Qingzhuo, but was stopped by the ice crystal mirrors in the array , the sword light is ejected in the mirror array, and Ji Qingzhuo, who manipulates the array, can actually control the turning angle of the mirror surface and the direction of the reflected sword light.
At this time, Ji Qingzhuo's weak voice came from the formation: "Xiaoyu, can you?"
Shen Rongyu asked her: "What can I do?"
Ji Qingzhuo was a little embarrassed to say this: "Can... can I hit you?"
Shen Rongyu: "?"
He paused: "Yes."
It was just an exercise to show the power of the formation, so Ji Qingzhuo didn't even need to report this.
Ji Qingzhuo carefully controlled the turning of the ice crystal mirror in the mirror array. Every time the mirror turned slightly, he shot out the reflected sword energy with the least loss until the sword light reflected towards Shen Rongyu.
The angle of the sword light reflected from the mirror array is very tricky, Shen Rongyu turned around to see where it came from, and...his eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly realized something, what he saw was an illusion in the mirror , There are too many mirrors here, even if he is as keen as him, it is difficult to determine the real location of Jianguang without relying on the detection of the red airflow.
Concealing reality in the void, Ji Qingzhuo's mirror array is really tricky, even Shen Rongyu took a moment to find out where the real sword light is, and sacrificed the snow-burying sword, lightly blocking the reflected sword light. After the sword light was reflected several times in the mirror array, its strength had increased to ten times its original strength. If it was an opponent of the same level as Ji Qingzhuo, he should not be able to deal with a counterattack that was ten times as powerful as his own attack.
The power of the formation is so domineering, it is not difficult to challenge it beyond the level, not to mention that although the mirror formation Ji Qingzhuo researched is only a prototype, it is also a superior work in the formation.
Shen Rongyu practiced with Ji Qingzhuo a few times in this way, and the sword light he hit every time was stronger than before. He detected the upper limit of the power that the mirror formation could withstand—no matter how exquisite the formation is, in the face of absolute power, It is also like paper, the upper limit of the formation still depends on the person who deploys the formation.
In the end, Shen Rongyu discovered that the mirror formation could withstand the attacks of mid-Golden Core cultivators at most—Ji Qingzhuo himself was only at the ninth level of qi refining, which has already crossed a big stage, as long as it is a monk or other demons below the mid-Golden Core stage Walking into the mirror formation, there is no way to break through the formation, life and death are all in Ji Qingzhuo's thought.
Shen Rongyu looked at Ji Qingzhuo. When he saw the blueprint of the formation, he could predict the power of the mirror formation, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the effect of the mirror formation—it was just that she spent a night creating it. It's just a prototype.
Ji Qingzhuo noticed his gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and asked Shen Rongyu, "Is this formation okay?"
"Yes." Shen Rongyu said, "If it can be improved, it will be stronger than the Peach Blossom Mist Formation. It still has a lot of room for refinement."
The formation is perfected step by step. The basic concept created by Ji Qingzhuo is ingenious, and it can be derived into countless changes.
Ji Qingzhuo responded softly, and she asked, "Then, does Xiaoyu like it?"
"This is your formation, why do you ask me if I like it?" Shen Rongyu asked.
Ji Qingzhuo specially researched a formation, of course not to protect herself, Shen Rongyu came back last night with exhausted strength, which made her more determined to share this formation with Shen Rongyu.
The reason why she kept a rudimentary form was originally to change the details of the formation at any time according to Shen Rongyu's own habits.
When Ji Qingzhuo said at the beginning that she wanted to protect Shen Rongyu, she was not joking. Even though her strength was meager, she still tried her best to...protect him.
"Don't Xiaoyu want this formation?" Ji Qingzhuo's voice was very soft, it was the first time she shared something like this with others, so her tone of voice was cautious.
Even though Ji Qingzhuo showed him the blueprint of the formation, Shen Rongyu didn't pay attention to the details, because he knew the importance of the protective formation. If both of them mastered the same formation, the result would be like that of Jiang Qianke. Similarly, another person who is proficient in the formation will take away the control of the formation and become someone else's fish.
The protective formation is an extremely secret monk's personal privacy. He didn't expect Ji Qingzhuo to share this with him—she really needs some means of self-protection.
"The protective array is a monk's privacy." Shen Rongyu said, he refused, he had no intention of prying into Ji Qingzhuo's privacy.
"I'm not..." Ji Qingzhuo misunderstood Shen Rongyu's meaning. She thought Shen Rongyu meant that she taught him the protective formation, and she grasped his weakness and could threaten his life at any time.
But... she didn't think so.
—Is there any formation in this world that she cannot solve? Is there any difference between Shen Rongyu using hers and using his own?
However, he has his reasons for being so vigilant, if he doesn't want...then don't do it.
Ji Qingzhuo turned his back, folded up the formation drawing in his hand, stuffed it into his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "If Xiaoyu doesn't use it, then don't use it."
Shen Rongyu has captured her strange emotions again, her mood swings are very small and very few, almost no one will notice her mood changes, but Shen Rongyu can, he has always observed her carefully.
"Zhuo Zhuo, what's the matter?" He asked.
Of course it wasn't "nothing". Ji Qingzhuo was in a bad mood, so she didn't answer Shen Rongyu's question, but walked to the front yard with her head sullen: "I'm going to work."
In fact, she didn't have much work to do. This month's accounts were almost done, and she could spend the rest of the time fishing, but this didn't prevent her from going to the front yard to find something to pass the time.
Shen Rongyu put away her sword, followed him, and he held her wrist. Her mana had just been consumed a lot, and now she can recover.
He looked down at her, his long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
Shen Rongyu realized that it might be a problem with the formation.
He asked, "Want me to use your formation?"
Ji Qingzhuo pulled his hand out from his palm: "I thought about it before, but I don't think about it now."
Shen Rongyu chuckled, Ji Qingzhuo's mood was too easy to guess, she misunderstood his meaning.
"The body protection formation is a very private matter. If I know the principle of this formation, it will not be a body protection formation, but a tool to counterattack oneself." Shen Rongyu stood beside her and said slowly, " Zhuo Zhuo, what if one day I want to kill you?"
It was a cruel thing to say—he had really thought about it.
But he didn't expect that Ji Qingzhuo said: "Then kill it."
Anyway...If there is no Shen Rongyu, she should have died several times, Shen Rongyu wants to kill her, she has no room to resist, there are so many people who are more powerful than her in this world of cultivating immortals, if someone really wants to kill her, she can't escape .
Ji Qingzhuo is a very resigned person. Even though she will try her best, she will not burst out with an extraordinary desire to survive for her own life and death.
She doesn't live for herself, because she doesn't care about herself, but for others - what she cares about, a small world.
When Shen Rongyu heard her words, his eyes suddenly became dark. He... didn't like Ji Qingzhuo's words.
When killing someone, it's only interesting to see the struggle of the dying person. He doesn't even bother to touch a piece of wood like Ji Qingzhuo.
If you pinch her neck with your hands, she will just rub her against her. What's the point of killing her like this?
So, Shen Rongyu asked: "If others want to kill you, do you think so too?"
"If someone wants to kill me, I will find a way to run until there is no other way." Ji Qingzhuo replied softly.
"Why is my Dudu different?" Shen Rongyu asked again, "I want to kill you, but you won't run away?"
Ji Qingzhuo couldn't sense his killing intent towards her, and she couldn't run away early. When he hugged her, he suddenly stabbed her, what could she do?
So she blinked and said to Shen Rongyu: "Xiaoyu, you have countless opportunities to kill me every day. If I always think that you will kill me, then I should have run away."
"Zhuozhuo, are you afraid of me?" Shen Rongyu asked again.
"Not afraid." These words are sincere.
Shen Rongyu raised Ji Qingzhuo's chin with one hand, making her look at him—but Ji Qingzhuo still looked away, and her eyelashes blinked frantically.
"Zhuozhuo must live well, because some people want you to live." Shen Rongyu said - he didn't say the last part, because he was afraid of scaring Ji Qingzhuo to death, and if she wanted to die, she could only die by his hands. It's no fun dying at the hands of others.
Ji Qingzhuo had never heard anyone say such words to her, her eyes widened suddenly, her throat suddenly became dry, and she was almost speechless, as if in her very short and vague memory , no one has ever cared about her life or death.
She is gone, no one will be sad because of her, she is a very lonely person.
So her eyes shifted and she looked at Shen Rongyu's eyes. When she focused on looking at people, she looked gentle and fragile-she was not rejecting all feelings, but she avoided them in advance because she was afraid of being hurt.
She asked Shen Rongyu seriously: "Really, who is that person?"
Shen Rongyu laughed at her stupidity again, for such a simple and straightforward answer, she would ask: "Of course it's me."
Ji Qingzhuo blinked, she asked this question, not because she didn't know the answer, but just to be sure, her eyes became foggy again, and she said: "Okay, next time I encounter danger, I will fight for it." Run faster."
Shen Rongyu sensed her secret emotions, he concealed the second half of his sentence, brushed the broken hair from her sideburns, and said softly: "Fool."
He said she was stupid countless times, but Ji Qingzhuo didn't think he was stupid.
She turned sideways and avoided Shen Rongyu's gaze: "I'm going to continue working."
"Give me back the formation?" Shen Rongyu asked.
"Here you are." Ji Qingzhuo took out the blueprint of the mirror array from her bosom. She originally designed the protective array for Shen Rongyu.
After that, Ji Qingzhuo began to perfect the details of the mirror array for Shen Rongyu according to Shen Rongyu's needs—this is the array that belongs to the two of them.
As for the demons in Xuedu Palace, Ji Qingzhuo didn't dare to use the demon-seeking wheel because of the black shadow Shen Rongyu met that night, so as not to scare the snake away. Now that the target demons are in the deep palace, she just needs to find an opportunity to approach them. it.
It's a pity that she has just entered the palace and has no grades yet, and she has no chance to get close to the big shots in the palace, so after about a month, after completing the mirror array, she is ready to hand over her grades.
She spent an afternoon reorganizing the accounts that day, found many wrong accounts, and organized the income and expenditure of the palace in the past few years in an orderly manner. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious service.
Ji Qingzhuo doesn't like to show herself off, but in order to get close to the evil spirits in the palace, this is also a helpless move. She tries her best to behave like a helpless mortal, so as not to be discovered by the shadows.
So, one month later, Ji Qingzhuo came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a thick pile of accounts.
At this moment in the House of Internal Affairs, Lan Li was preparing for the Lantern Festival with her female officers. Seeing Ji Qingzhuo approaching, the female officer beside her touched her arm and whispered, "Miss Lan knows things like a god. Sure enough, she couldn't bear the loneliness of You Zhu Yuan, and came here to find you."
When Lan Li heard this, she also showed a confident smile on her face, and walked towards Ji Qingzhuo.
The author has something to say:
Xiaoyu (super fierce): I want to kill you.
Zhuo Zhuo (sluggish): Then kill it.
Xiaoyu:? ? ? (distressed.jpg)
