Chapter 136: Volume B draws the sword and stirs up trouble in Longmen, contrast (two-in-one update please vote for me!)
Chen Huaisheng also quickly glanced around, then lowered his voice and said: "Senior, I'm afraid The situation in Nanchu is not well understood. As far as the juniors know, the situation in Nanchu has been unstable in the past six months, and many things have happened around the Zijin Sect..."
Many things have indeed happened, among which The biggest one was the Hanzhou Taoist Temple robbery that shocked the entire Southern Chu.
This robbery was a huge blow to the reputation of the Zijin Sect. A fourth-level foundation builder was beheaded, and many high-level and mid-level Qi Refining disciples were killed. A tragic case.
The key is that no one can tell clearly how many people committed this robbery, and no one can tell clearly where the perpetrators came from and who they are.
Some people say that four or five people ganged up to commit the crime, because the Taoist magic circle was destroyed from two places, causing the magic circle to collapse and finally "fall".
It is said that only one person committed the crime, because from the beginning to the end, only one person was seen fighting his way in, from beginning to end.
It is also said that there is only one responder outside, and his level is very low. He is probably a mid-level Qi refining person, but the killer who rushed in may be a strange cultivator.
The various statements are full of contradictions, which has also caused quarrels within the Zijin Sect.
This robbery has also made the Zijin Sect very nervous, and it is inevitable that suspicion will be directed at everyone around, including the Chonghua Sect.
But no matter what, there are only a few strong men in the Chonghua Sect who can kill the fourth level of foundation building independently.
The Zijin Sect also has spies in Yijun. Based on the whereabouts of the elders and deacons of the Chonghua Sect, the possibility of the Chonghua Sect was quickly ruled out.
In addition, a magic sword was picked up at the scene. It was the white stone evil sword that Chen Huaisheng had intentionally left behind, which added to the confusion.
Although the Baishi Sect and the Zijin Sect have a tacit understanding in dealing with the Chonghua Sect, the Lingyun Sect and even the Jiulian Sect behind them, the two sides are not formally aligned, and there is even a great conflict between the two sides in terms of ultimate interests.
It's just that the three opposing parties have the same interests at the moment. It's hard to say whether Baishimen will take advantage of the situation.
Of course, the most suspicious object of the Zijin Sect is the Canghai Sect, the biggest rival in Southern Chu.
Among the four major sects, the relationship between the Zijin Sect and the Canghai Sect has always been at odds. Over the years, the two sides have had constant battles and conflicts. However, this is the first time such a robbery and murder occurred, and the Canghai Sect has also This situation was directly denied, and there was no other evidence to prove that it was Canghaizong who did it.
But it can cleanly kill a fourth-level Foundation Establishment one-on-one. Looking around, it seems that only the Canghai Sect can have this strength and has serious conflicts with the Zijin Sect.
Of course the Jiulian Sect in Da Zhao also has this strength, but it seems a little impossible to have people from the Jiulian Sect travel thousands of miles to Hanzhou Taoist Temple to do such a thing.
Instead of doing this, it is really better to choose a suitable occasion to kill the Zijin Sect disciples openly. I am afraid that the deterrent effect will be more powerful. This method of robbing the spiritual stones would be too cowardly.
Thousands of spiritual sand may be a considerable amount of wealth for casual cultivators or small sects, but for super large sects such as the Nine Lotus Sect, it is not worth mentioning.
Precisely because it is unclear who actually acted on them and whether there will be other similar actions in the future, the Zijin Sect is also very nervous now.
At the same time, a series of investigations were carried out, and some extraordinary actions were inevitably taken. There were constant conflicts with the Canghai Sect, and it even affected frictions and conflicts between some other sects and families and the Zijin Sect.
During this period of time, conflicts continued in Yunmengzhou, Hanzhou, Huangzhou and even Jiangling.
The tense atmosphere created by these conflicts will inevitably affect the Dongfu Ghost Market, causing both Yuan Mingzong and the Zijin Sect to strengthen the prevention of the Dongfu Ghost Market to avoid another robbery and damage the Zijin Sect. And caused a blow to Yuan Mingzong.
But for places outside the Dongfu Ghost Market, they were relaxed. After all, manpower was limited. Anyway, the Zijin Sect and Yuan Mingzong never promised to take unlimited responsibility for things that happened outside Liuye Zhu.
Before coming here, Chen Huaisheng also did some research, but he was worried about whether there would be any risks in coming here if the Zijin Sect investigated too strictly.
But now the Zijin Sect has strengthened the internal prevention of the ghost market, but they don’t have so much energy to manage the outside world. This is a good thing for themselves and their colleagues. Anyway, I have no intention of being in the ghost market. Come and do something.
So Chen Huaisheng’s reminder is not an empty threat, but a real one.
The elegant monk was surprised when he heard what Chen Huaisheng said.
He came directly from Bianjing of Great Zhao via Huai County.
Originally I planned to visit the Dongfu Ghost Market, then go upstream to Jiangling for a walk, and finally sail eastward back to Wuyue. I didn’t know much about the situation in Nanchu.
Who would have ever thought of spending tens of thousands of spiritual stones to buy two spiritual birds and beasts at the Dongfu Ghost Market, but I didn’t think anything of it before, but now that I think about it, it’s really a bit crazy.
This is not in Wuyue. It is still five or six thousand miles away from the gate of the Holy Fire Sect, and it is still two or three thousand miles away from the territory of Wuyue. If something happens, I am really in trouble. I was helpless without any friends.
Stabilizing his mind, the elegant monk tried his best to keep himself as calm as possible.
Maybe this guy is trying to scare himself?
I can see that the Dongfu Ghost Market is in good order, and there is no forced buying or selling.
And tomorrow’s bidding will continue as usual. If anything happens, it is said that each item in this kind of bidding is a transaction of tens of thousands of spiritual stones. Aren’t you afraid of being robbed?
The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. The elegant monk glanced at Chen Huaisheng and said, "Thank you, little brother, for reminding me. I guess the Yuan Mingzong and the Zijin Sect can still maintain some order, right? Even doing business in this ghost market is difficult. If there is no guarantee, who will come here to trade in the future?”
Seeing the other party’s expression change and then regaining his composure, and there seemed to be some disbelief in his words, Chen Huaisheng suddenly understood what the other party was thinking.
I only had a one-time acquaintance with him, it was just a transaction. From another perspective, it was reasonable for the other party to suspect that he had intentions for the spiritual bird and beast in his body.
Perhaps I am just making false threats like this to gain the other party's trust in me, so that I can finally make a move?
Thinking of this, Chen Huaisheng shrugged: "Senior, you will know if you ask more. This is what I have to say. In short, be careful and sail the boat for ten thousand years. I guess the seniors are brave and skilled, but there are many juniors. Think about it."
Chen Huaisheng took retreat as an opportunity to advance and stopped talking after he finished speaking.
After dinner, Chen Huaisheng and Hu Delu went back to the room.
Hu Delu was curious about how Chen Huaisheng became so familiar with the other party, but Chen Huaisheng didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask.
Before midnight, someone knocked on the door, and Chen Huaisheng naturally knew who was knocking.
Opening the door to welcome guests, as expected, it was that person.
When Yu Fengqian returned to his small courtyard, he immediately sent out a flying visa and received a reply more than an hour later.
At this time, he had already discovered something strange in his room. In addition, a dark figure on a tall pole swaying in the wind ten feet away from the window was also exposed in his Jiuyi illusion.
...
"How come the seniors think that the juniors are not just being alarmists to gain the favor and trust of the seniors, or are they even counter-intuitive with evil intentions?" Chen Huaisheng asked with a smile while making tea again.
"Of course I have my own channels to understand." The elegant monk frowned deeply and said to himself: "I didn't expect that the current situation of the Zijin Sect is so bad. I heard about it when I was in Wuyue and even Da Zhao. Isn't the Zijin Sect one of the four major sects in Southern Chu? "Why is it so chaotic all of a sudden?"
He used the flying lottery technique to contact an acquaintance in Zhaohuai County two hundred miles away, and learned some things. Chen Huaisheng agrees with what he said.
In addition, Chen Huaisheng has a big ear and a face full of righteousness, which gave him a good intuitive impression.
Of course this is not the main thing, he has his own means.
"Senior, it doesn't make much sense to ask these questions now. Senior should consider how to leave safely. Did you find that someone is targeting senior?" Chen Huaisheng asked confidently.
Chen Huaisheng believes that if someone really wants to take advantage of this person, they will definitely target this inn tonight. In addition, there must be spies in the east and west gates of the ghost market.
There may even be spiritual birds such as the purple-eyed night owl and the white-spotted ghost-faced owl staring at the target in the surrounding area. Night is the easiest time to get away.
The ghost market is open day and night, and you can leave at any time, but you can only leave through the east and west gates. There are restrictions in other places to prevent people with evil intentions from sneaking in.
At the beginning of tomorrow, that is, at seven o'clock in the evening, the bidding will end, and there will be an hour's departure time. All guests can either leave or return to the inn.
Guests who return to the inn will have specialized personnel to clean them one by one, which means they need to pay another fee of ten spiritual stones.
The vast majority of guests will choose to leave the venue after bidding. This is the best opportunity to escape, because there are many people leaving the venue at that time, and they are all vigilant. The slightest move may lead to counterattack.
But only after leaving the field at this time is the opportunity for those with evil intentions. If they act rashly in the field, they will be suppressed by the resident spiritual cultivators at any time.
"There is a ghost-faced owl in the tall reeds ten feet outside the small courtyard where I live. It was well hidden, but I still discovered it." The elegant monk said calmly: "In addition, someone has entered the room in my small courtyard. During such a short period of time while I was eating, a very clever little spell was installed to detect my movements."
Chen Huaisheng didn't ask the other party how he found out. He was out and about in every sect. Have their own little restrictions.
“One group of people, or two groups of people?” Chen Huaisheng thought for a while and asked.
“I don’t know.” The elegant monk rubbed his temples: “Do you think I need to move out of the small courtyard and find a different place?”
Only now did he realize his lack of experience outside. .
As for how to deal with this kind of thing, he couldn't come up with any more countermeasures, so he had to turn to the junior who also gave him the first stage of Qi Refining, and this guy actually only had a relationship with him.
It’s shameful to think about it.
Hearing what the elegant monk said, Chen Huaisheng was also surprised to ask such a question?
"Senior, by acting like this, isn't it just to alert others and let people know that senior already knows that they are spying on senior again?" Chen Huaisheng paused, "Senior comes to this junior, isn't there any cover-up, right?"
The elegant monk was stunned, slightly ashamed, "Well, I really didn't expect that..."
Chen Huaisheng couldn't help sighing and holding his forehead.
A man at the peak of Qi refining doesn’t even have this bit of common sense?
At first, the other party was very convincing when discussing the business. I had heard him say that he could detect spells in the room and find the ghost-faced owl outside the window. I thought that the other party was also a veteran, but he just didn't understand the situation here.
I didn’t expect that I didn’t even take the most basic precautions and came straight into my house. Isn’t this harming myself?
I have really become trapped in a cocoon. No, I am getting angry and burning myself. Maybe this guy can escape in the future, but I will find it difficult to escape.
His face was a little feverish, and the elegant monk subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and his voice lowered a few degrees, "I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious,..."
"Forget it, no need to say it, if There are really two groups of people, which may be a good thing. In order to steal the black leopard and the human-faced snow dove on you, what if they get angry first?"
Chen Huaisheng joked to himself: "Snipe? Clams fighting, do we fishermen gain?”
No matter how ignorant he is of world affairs, he can still hear the ridicule in Chen Huaisheng’s words. The elegant monk said politely: “If there is really danger, why don’t we go together first? Go to our Holy Fire Sect to take shelter?"
Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. The Holy Fire Sect's mountain gate is five or six thousand places away. It really takes a month to go there? You are really asking for trouble, and can you leave?
"Forget it, senior I'm afraid I can only deal with him in the small courtyard for one night. Fortunately, the other party doesn't dare to act rashly in this ghost market. If he really wants to attack senior, I guess it will be after senior leaves the ghost market... ..." Chen Huaisheng pondered and said: "I wonder if the senior has companions or people who can help in Nanchu? For example, I can contact him tomorrow."
The elegant monk shook his head: "Our Holy Fire Sect is in Nanchu. We don’t have much contact with Chu, but we do have some connections with Da Zhao, but we can’t quench our thirst for closeness, and the relationship is not familiar to that level yet,..."
Chen Huaisheng felt that something was a bit tricky. , but seeing the other person's eyes full of expectation made Chen Huaisheng feel a little ridiculous.
A person at the peak of Qi refining actually has so much confidence in himself, a second-level Qi refining person, that he thinks he can give him advice to solve his troubles?
Isn’t this a little too funny?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Huaisheng didn't have a good idea.
Fortunately, this guy is also at the peak of Qi refining. Although he has little experience, his combat ability is estimated to be good. He can detect spells and find the ghost-faced owl, which means that the opponent is not weak, but he lacks some actual combat experience.
"Senior, you can only take one step at a time now. If you still have some spiritual stones, I suggest that you take advantage of tomorrow to purchase some spiritual talismans and magic weapons, just in case tomorrow comes. If something unexpected happens in the ghost market, it’s better to be more prepared.”
Thinking of this, Chen Huaisheng felt more and more that he was a troublemaker, why did he just say hello to this guy and say a few words? To cause such a big trouble?
If we really want to deal with this guy, he must know his strength, which means that the opponent will definitely be above the peak of Qi refining. In other words, he is also a strong foundation builder. who.
How could he and Hu Delu withstand such a torment?
When the time comes, will I and Hu Delu leave this guy and run away alone, or will they join forces to escape?
I was afraid that I and Hu Delu would leave each other and run away, but those people would think that they were making an attack in the east and intercept the two of them. That would be too tragic.
Chen Huaisheng is full of regret now and wishes he could slap himself in the face.
Seeing the change in Chen Huaisheng's face, the elegant monk was also a little uneasy and asked tentatively: "Little brother, did I bring trouble for you?"
"Forget it, trouble has already arrived. There is no point in talking about it now. I wonder what the senior is going to do next?" Chen Huaicheng sighed before asking.
The elegant monk was stunned for a moment, and said: "I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't know what those people want. I have never encountered such a thing, so I came to ask the little brother Ask for advice."
How dare such a stupid person come out to wander the world?
You still dare to spend tens of thousands of spiritual stones to buy spiritual beasts and birds. Chen Huaisheng really wants to ask the person in charge in the Holy Fire Sect what he thinks?
Did you send him out to die on purpose?
But this guy is still at the peak of Qi refining. He is so stupid. How did he reach this level of cultivation?
Under Chen Huaisheng's look like an idiot, the elegant monk shrank a little, lowered his head to avoid Chen Huaisheng's gaze, "Also, I am not used to resting under surveillance. Can I put that Is the spell banned? "
Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and scream. After all this time, this guy was still thinking about such trivial things, which made him almost crazy.
"Senior, it's up to you." Chen Huaisheng waved his hand, "Then please go back and rest, senior."
"But you haven't said how we will deal with it tomorrow." The elegant monk asked anxiously.
"We? What we?" Chen Huaisheng asked with ill intentions: "Senior returned to Wuyue, and my companions and I were going back to Da Zhao. We have different ways."
Why did this person unknowingly come back? Posted up, we are us again?
Have I become someone else’s support again?
Do I have to make decisions for him?
The elegant monk was startled and seemed to feel that Chen Huaisheng's attitude had changed, but he still said: "I think it is better for us to go together. Maybe they will notice my coming..."
Maybe?
Is it a sure thing?
Chen Huaisheng felt that his stomach was about to be bloated, but when he saw the other party's clear and clear eyes, he didn't know what to say.
"Senior, nothing will happen tonight. I have to think about it carefully. Why don't I go back to my room and rest first."
Chen Huaisheng felt that this person was sitting In front of me, my IQ will drop significantly.
Send this person away as soon as possible, and think carefully about how to deal with this situation, and how to get rid of potential risks and troubles tomorrow.
"Can the spell in my room be banned?" As he was about to go out, the elegant monk couldn't help but turn around and ask again.
“Get out!” Chen Huaisheng finally cursed.
