Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 149: Protecting the Flower
Tiedan sat alone on the side of the boat until the sun set, until Xiao Baoqin woke up and came over.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I was drunk and lost my composure just now. I am sorry for the offense..."

This time, Xiao Baoqin also wore a veil to cover her face, wrapping herself tightly.

Tiedan didn't even turn around and said coldly,

"I can escort you to Zhenzhou. You don't need any compensation, just the elixir that can save your life and prolong your life."

Xiao Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief.
"A promise is a promise. My Xiao family will never break their promise. To show our sincerity, I will give this magic weapon to you as a deposit."

Xiao Baoqin clapped her hands, and a maid brought up a box. When she opened it, she saw a precious sword that gleamed with cold light.

"This sword was forged by my father using the iron from the meteorite he kept at home. He made a hundred swords to give as gifts to heroes all over the world. The sword is four feet long and inscribed with 'Chao Yi', which means 'Slay dragons and break tigers.' It is invincible."

Tiedan's eyes lit up immediately. He took the Chaoyi sword and brushed the blade's edge, which looked like it had been forged by thousands of hammers. He could actually feel the resonance of the Taibai sword embryo in his body.

"Nice knife, nice knife, thank you very much!"

"As long as you like it, benefactor."

Xiao Baoqin also bowed down, hiding her sneer under her veil.

If you don’t take the bait once, you won’t have to worry about not taking the bait again.

As a human being, you have preferences, and if you have preferences, you have handles.

Gold, silver, precious stones, beautiful women, famous horses and precious swords, fame, wealth and honor.

When you get on the horse, you can pick up gold; when you get off the horse, you can pick up silver. I will never worry about not being able to persuade you to talk.

As long as you open your mouth and I have the evidence against you, no matter how heroic you are, I can use you to achieve my goal.

Don't underestimate the family tradition of our Xiao family.

Anyway, since he had a good weapon, Tiedan no longer cared about the Xiao family's little tricks.

So his task changed from picking flowers to protecting flowers.

Since the Xiao family's guards would never arrive, it was not a long-term solution for Lao Ka to wait on this cliff, so Tiedan did some research, discussed the structure of the treasure ship with Xiao Jun, discussed the principles of the flying runes with Kun, and asked Chen Xuantian No. 12 for help. He drew a design and formulated a preliminary repair plan, then collected materials from everywhere and began to repair the flying boat.

In principle, the flying boat magic weapon consists of three necessary formations.

The first level of the air-controlling floating formation is usually engraved on the keel of the ship's bottom. The mage needs to constantly observe the density of spiritual energy between heaven and earth to adjust the output in order to avoid crashing in places with thin spiritual energy, or flying out of control when encountering a surge of spiritual energy.

The Xiao family's ship was chased by demons all the way, and they had to flee everywhere. As a result, it was driven into a deep valley, and its spiritual energy suddenly decreased. Xiao Baoqin didn't know how to operate it, so it fell from the sky.

Fortunately, the keel of this flying boat was very good, made of some deep-sea fish keel, and was not damaged at all. The floating formation was still effective, so such a heavy flying boat could stay on the cliff, otherwise it would have crashed long ago.

The second level of the treasure-protecting and spirit-guarding formation is usually carved on the cabin, with the spirit magic weapon as the center of the formation, which is used to maintain the temperature inside the ship and protect passengers who cannot resist the cold wind. At the same time, it can also inject spiritual energy to form a shield of strong energy to resist attacks from storms and demons.

This layer of protective formation is still in effect, otherwise all the people on the boat would have been torn to pieces by the monsters or frozen into popsicles.

As for the third level, it was naturally the wind-controlling flying formation. Usually, flying spells were written on the sails and flags to control the direction and speed of the flying boat. Now, due to the impact of the fall and the harassment of the demons, the flags were torn and the masts were broken, so it could not fly.

However, there are naturally spare kits on the Feifan Fuqi ship. As long as the mast is repaired, a new flag is replaced, and the output of floating flight is calculated, it will be easy to escape without any trouble.

So Tiedan did what he said, first teaching Xiao Baoqin to guard the formation defense, and then he flew to the ice field to kill monsters, collecting monster bones and fur to repair the mast. By the way, he adjusted and calculated the wind force and the output of the formation, and it only took one day to repair the flying boat and sail the boat out of the predicament.

"Liu Lang, you are really clever and deft. I was dizzy looking at these drawings, but you fixed them in no time. You are amazing. Now we can fly directly to Lanling!"

Xiao Baoqin came over again and served tea and water, speaking softly and flatteringly.

Tiedan really wanted to avoid her, lest she absorb too much pheromone and get overwhelmed by her feelings, and pounce on him and rub his legs. Unfortunately, he still had to steer the boat, so he couldn't move around, so he could only take the chrysanthemum tea and nod in thanks.

"Let's go to Yanmen first."

"Going to Yanmen?"

Xiao Baoqin frowned, feeling somewhat worried.

"I'm worried that the important place over there has been occupied by the rebels. I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous..."

Tiedan looked at her arms that were wrapped around him.
"My junior sister is still in Yanmen. If we pick her up and go to Lanling together, we won't have to run around delivering medicine."

Xiao Baoqin's eyes flickered, but she didn't let go, and she hugged Tiedan's waist.

"Liu Lang is really loyal and righteous. There are not many good men like you. I am really envious..." Tiedan was speechless. He had never seen someone like Xiao Baoqin who climbed up the ladder. Could it be that pheromones are really that powerful? ?
"Miss Xiao, you are not drunk again."

Xiao Baoqin smiled foolishly.
"Why, Liu Lang, you want to press me down and ravage me again, right? Then go ahead, I'll endure it."

Tsk, this guy...

"Hmph, Thirteenth Lady, that's enough. Didn't you see that Young Master Liu was in trouble? He doesn't think highly of us, who are so insignificant!"

At this time, Shi Chen also walked up to Class A, snorted coldly, and glared at Tiedan fiercely with a pair of blue eyes.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Baoqin had to restrain herself a little and turned to greet her.
"Hello Princess, please have some tea."

"Don't drink any tea. There's a strong turbulence ahead. Everyone go sit in the cabin."

Seeing that Tiedan still ignored him, Shizhen stamped his feet in anger.
"Okay, let's go to Yanmen! I want to see how beautiful your junior sister is and why you care about her so much. You don't even take us seriously! Humph!"

Seeing the little girl throwing a tantrum, Xiao Baoqin was helpless. She could only smile at Tiedan and follow her into the cabin.

Tiedan ignored these trivial matters and sailed on the clouds, flying south.

In order to avoid the monsters, Tiedan flew almost close to the clouds, adjusting the magic circle all the time. The flight was quite bumpy and both young ladies got seasick. However, they managed to escape from the Yinshan Snow Ridge without any danger and arrived outside Yanmen Pass in the evening.

But the more peaceful the journey was, the more uneasy Tiedan felt.

After all, if a group of demons were found gathering outside the pass, it would at least mean that the imperial guards had successfully stopped the demons. But if there were no signs of fighting, it would mean...

Tiedan flew out of the clouds and landed at a low altitude, overlooking the scenery inside Yanmen Pass. His heart sank to the bottom.

It was really broken. Yanmen Pass, a major town among the Nine Border Towns, could not even hold out for a month before it was captured by demons. The pass was blasted into pieces, and all the defenders and residents in the city were killed. No one knew whether they were all eaten by the demons or simply abandoned the pass and fled.

A bunch of good-for-nothings, it's impossible to help them...

In any case, the evil tide in the north has broken through the barrier like a flood and avalanche, sweeping towards the land of Genzhou.

Fate cannot be changed...

Tiedan remained silent as he drove the flying boat to Niejiabao and circled in the sky.

When the nest is overturned, no eggs are left intact. Only groups of monsters are still roaming around in the village, snatching the corpses of livestock.

Tiedan was not in a hurry to land. He flew to the nearby forest to place the flying boat. He asked Xiao Baoqin and the others to open the defensive formation, then he flew into the air with a sword in hand and rushed into Niejiabao.

He hacked and chopped his way to death all the monsters in the castle, then he wiped his face, calmed down, and searched for any signs of the residents in the ruins.

Zhen Baiyu should not be dead. Tiedan also cast a talisman on her before leaving, and he did not sense that she was in danger.

Tiedan carried the imperial sword and swung it into the Nie Family Castle, but he didn't see any bodies. Most of the dead were cattle and sheep. When he entered the room where Zhen Baiyu had stayed temporarily, he didn't see any blood or signs of damage. There was also a letter left on the desk.

It was left to him by Nie Gang.

It turned out that just two days after Tiedan left, cavalry from the Kan Kingdom arrived and said that Duke Zhongshan had conquered Ye City and that all the nine border garrisons must go to Ye City to pay homage, lead their troops to withdraw from the pass, and go to Ye City to be reorganized, otherwise when the army arrived, both sides would be destroyed.

The commander of Yanmen Pass was frightened by the sight of nine Yuanying demons heading south together. Even the Kan Kingdom was coming. He realized that he could not defend the pass, so he simply handed over the seal and surrendered. Some of the military guards of Yanmen Pass submitted to the Kan Kingdom, while others gave up their official titles and fled south with their families.

Nie Gang also knew that the situation was hopeless, so he abandoned his family property and took Bai Yu and his family to seek refuge in the south. However, in these years of chaos and war, no one knew what to do, so he decided to just follow the group of Yanmen refugees and go wherever they went.

There are many refugees in Yanmen and they walk slowly, so we should be able to catch up.

So Tiedan used the letter to tell fortunes and calculate Zhen Baiyu's fate, and also predicted her good or bad luck.

But who could have thought that he actually threw three yang lines in a row and got Qian for Heaven.

As the saying goes, a trapped dragon gets water and good luck comes to him. He can't help but feel happy, all his wishes will come true, and his fortune will gradually improve in the future.

This hexagram means that Zhen Baiyu is a latent dragon that should not be used, good times will come after bad times, seeing a dragon in the field, everything will go well, seeing a dragon flying in the sky, like the rising sun.

This time the fish has jumped over the dragon gate and is soaring proudly into the sky. No one can stop its fate.

...Ah, ah? ?
No, now the situation has turned upside down, the world is in chaos, evil monsters and wild beasts are running rampant, it is obvious that a catastrophe has arrived.

Zhen Baiyu himself also shortened his life span and was only left with a year to live. Even Tiedan's journey was in vain as he failed to find the snow lotus.

How could he give her a very auspicious divination?
Maybe there was some mistake in the calculation?
But how could the calculation of three yang lines be wrong?
Mathematics is really mysterious...
