Chapter 383: Need to add more money
"Fifth Senior Uncle, how could the good Second Senior Uncle suddenly become a traitor? After all, those thieves attacked Danxia Peak before, and it was Second Senior Uncle who desperately saved us."
Duoying still couldn't believe what the fifth uncle said.
In her impression, the second uncle was the most important figure in Danxia Peak after the master, and he was dedicated to the development of the sect.
Anyone who rebels is unlikely to be the second uncle.
The woman said sadly and angrily: "Not to mention you Ying'er, even your master and I didn't expect it. I guess your second uncle has already colluded with the thieves. The reason why you deliberately saved us is to get the word "God" from your master. Dan's whereabouts were discovered by your master, so he killed him
By the way, Ying'er, you are your master's most beloved disciple. Your master should have informed you of the whereabouts of the magic pill, right? You have to be careful, your second uncle will definitely come looking for you. ”
Duoying's mind was in confusion and she said subconsciously: "Master did tell me about the whereabouts of the 'Divine Pill', but..."
"Miss Duo, the most important thing right now is to find your senior brother and master first."
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly interrupted the girl.
The woman in blue suddenly raised her head and stared at Jiang Shouzhong with a warning look on her face: "Who are you?"
Duoying quickly explained: "Fifth Senior Uncle, this is Mr. Jiang Mojiang that my senior brother and I have mentioned to you. Just now I was in trouble by the people of Fuhu Hall, and it was he who saved me."
The woman in blue looked at Jiang Shouzhong and her face softened: "Thank you, Master Jiang, for saving Ying'er."
Jiang Shouzhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all friends, it takes a little effort."
The woman forced a smile and said apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Jiang, I have some private matters to discuss with Ying'er."
After that, she pulled Duoying aside to a remote place and whispered: "Ying'er, this is a special period now. It's best not to have too much contact with outsiders."
Duoying said: "But Young Master Jiang is worthy of trust."
The woman's face darkened and she said coldly: "Even your second uncle betrayed Danxia Peak. Do you think Mr. Jiang is more trustworthy than your uncle?"
"This..."
Duoying felt helpless for a while.
While the woman and Duoying were chatting in a low voice, the old man with a bloody face came to Jiang Shouzhong and stared at him: "Can you see me?"
Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his nose, turned sideways to prevent others from seeing him speaking, and asked in a low voice: "You must be the second uncle."
"It's weird, it's really weird."
The second uncle looked at Jiang Shouzhong in surprise, "I thought that there would be nothing after death, but it turns out that there is still a soul like a monster. What's more, I didn't expect that there are still people who can see my soul."
Jiang Shouzhong glanced at Duoying and the two in the distance, and whispered: "That fifth uncle is the traitor, right?"
The second uncle looked away, his face full of grief and confusion:
"I don't understand why the fifth junior sister betrayed Danxia Peak. She has lived in Danxia Peak since she was a child, and the sect treats her very well."
"Are Miss Duo, Master and Senior Brother dead?" Jiang Shouzhong asked.
The second junior uncle shook his head: "That's not true. The fifth junior sister thought that I had been seriously injured and my cultivation level had plummeted. She never thought that I had used a secret technique and desperately gave the fourth junior brother and his apprentice Hou Qi a chance to escape.
Not surprisingly, they should go to the Moon Bridge in the Water. After all, the safety of the sect depends on the opportunity there. However, the fourth junior brother is indeed seriously injured and will be difficult to deal with if he encounters an enemy..."
Having said this, the second uncle suddenly looked up at Jiang Shouzhong, his eyes full of hope.
But before he could speak, Jiang Shouzhong said: "We have to pay more."
Second Master Bo was at a loss for words.
Why does this young man look so greedy for money?
The second junior uncle glanced at Duoying, who was being deceived by the fifth junior sister, gritted his teeth and said:
"Under the bed in the old man's room at Danxia Peak, there is a secret room. There is a treasure in it, which is related to the previous emperor. The switch of the secret room door is next to the vase facing left after entering. Just knock ten times."
Jiang Shouzhong looked strange.
I just said it casually, this guy is really willing to bleed.
However, recalling that the fifth uncle deliberately told Duoying about the secret of the "magic pill" just now, Jiang Shouzhong could probably understand the eagerness of the second uncle at this moment.
It shows that the magic elixir is of great significance to Danxia Peak.
"You wouldn't lie to me on purpose."
Jiang Shouzhong asked.
The second uncle was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Young Master Jiang, it's now this time. Do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you?"
Jiang Shouzhong said calmly: "I have important things to do, and I don't have time to waste time with you. For the sake of my friends, I can escort Duoying to Shuiyue Bridge, and you can come with me anyway.
But I won't care what happens next. As for the treasure in your room, I'm not interested either. When I have time, I will take it out and give it to Duoying. ”
Hearing this, the second uncle couldn't help but be startled.
He looked deeply at Jiang Shouzhong, bent down and saluted: "Thank you, Young Master Jiang."
At this time, the second uncle's soul became much lighter.
Before the other party disappeared, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly asked: "Senior, did you have any strange abnormalities in your body when you died? Did you directly turn into a soul?"
Jiang Shouzhong was very curious.
If you have an ability similar to the yin and yang eyes, you should be able to see the souls of all dead people.
But so far, only a handful of them have been seen.
Even taking the initiative to talk to the dead depends on luck.
So Jiang Shouzhong was very confused about this and didn't understand what his plug-in mechanism was.
The second uncle was stunned by the other party's question. He thought about it carefully and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's hard for me to say, but when I was dying, my eyes seemed to have been splashed with blood, and everything I saw was red. In short, it didn't happen. What’s weird.”
Jiang Shouzhong nodded, not expecting to be able to explain through the other party.
After the soul of the second uncle completely disappeared, Duoying and the fifth uncle happened to come over.
"Master Jiang, the fifth uncle and I went to Shuiyue Bridge for business, so we left first. If there is a chance in the future, I will invite you to Danxia Peak as a guest."
Duoying said at the end, her face full of helplessness.
After all, it’s hard to say whether we can enter Danxia Peak in the future.
Unless they can seize the opportunity of the Moon Bridge in the Water, they will have a chance to drive away those thieves.
Jiang Shouzhong said: "It just so happens that my wife and I are also going to Shuiyue Bridge. Let's go together."
"Huh?"
Duoying didn't expect that the other party would suddenly join forces. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Shouzhong turned around and went in to call Xiao Lingqiu.
Duoying looked helplessly at the fifth uncle beside her.
The latter looked gloomy and clenched his fists slightly.
…
In order to avoid trouble, Xiao Lingqiu specially wore a silk scarf on her face to cover her stunning appearance.
But even so, Duoying was amazed by her plump figure and unique cold temperament, and she couldn't help but admire Jiang Shouzhong's good fortune.
The fifth uncle also stared at Xiao Lingqiu in surprise, his eyes floating, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The group set out towards the legendary Moon Bridge in the Water.
This time, Jiang Shouzhong bought a carriage specially to protect Duoying at close range.
Originally, he thought about killing the fifth uncle directly, but then he thought, killing him directly would make it difficult to explain to Duoying. I can't say that the soul of your second uncle told me the truth. Jiang Shouzhong was unwilling to tell anyone the secret of being able to talk to the dead.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was a bit strange.
The driver is Duoying.
The fifth uncle, Jiang Shouzhong and Xiao Lingqiu were sitting together.
Through a simple chat, we found out that the fifth uncle's name was Zhao Xianhua. He had lived in Danxia Peak since he was a child. He was a direct disciple of the previous head and had great talent in alchemy.
He rarely goes out on weekdays and basically stays in his cave to practice.
It is indeed difficult for such people to understand why they would collude with outsiders to harm their own family.
"I heard from Ying'er that Mr. Jiang is a disciple of the sword demon Yan Changqing, so he must have good swordsmanship."
Zhao Xianhua spoke slowly.
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "It's just good luck. As for the swordsmanship, it's a mess. I'm not even as good as my master."
Zhao Xianhua squeezed out a smile on her face:
"Young Master Jiang is so humble. If you don't have some real abilities, how can you win the favor of Senior Sword Demon? However, I heard some rumors that Young Master Jiang is pregnant with the Daomen River Map. I don't know whether it is true or not?"
Jiang Shouzhong waved his hand: "It was snatched away by Zhenxuan Mountain a long time ago."
"Oh?"
Zhao Xianhua's expression was a little surprised, "Zhen Xuan Shan is so bold that he dares to offend even the Sword Demon?"
Jiang Shouzhong was even more surprised.
Listening to the other party's inquiry, it was obvious that he still didn't know what happened in the continent.
However, Danxia Peak is located in a very remote area, connected to the mainland and the Southern Jin Kingdom. In addition, most of the people in the sect stay in the sect to refine elixirs, so it is not surprising that there is no communication with the outside world.
Jiang Shouzhong changed the subject: "Just now at the inn, I heard you mention the 'magic pill'. What is it?"
"This is our Danxia Peak——"
"Ahem..."
Duoying, who was waving a riding crop outside the car door, was about to answer when she heard Zhao Xianhua's deep cough.
Duoying had no choice but to shut up.
Zhao Xianhua responded casually: "It's just a relatively precious elixir."
"Oh."
Jiang Shouzhong nodded.
Zhao Xianhua turned her eyes to Xiao Lingqiu and asked curiously: "I wonder where Mrs. Jiang is from? Where did she learn from?"
Xiao Lingqiu said: "People in the capital have no family or sect."
Zhao Xianhua hesitated for a moment and said: "I always feel that I have seen Mrs. Jiang somewhere, and she is a bit familiar. If Mrs. Jiang doesn't mind, could you take off your veil? Maybe I have seen her before."
Xiao Lingqiu said in a cold tone: "Sorry, I mind."
"..."
Zhao Xianhua was a little embarrassed and couldn't force herself anymore.
Jiang Shouzhong thought thoughtfully as he recalled the other person's expression when he first saw Xiao Lingqiu in the inn.
He gently held Xiao Lingqiu's jade hand and placed it on his lap. While stroking it, he asked Zhao Xianhua:
"If you don't mind, senior, can you tell me what happened at Danxia Peak? Logically speaking, as the largest sect in Danxia, you have close relations with various sects and even the imperial court, so you have no grudges."
Xiao Lingqiu didn't resist when his hand was held, and instead sat closer to the man.
Seeing this scene, the doubts in Zhao Xianhua's eyes slowly faded away.
After all, in her opinion, the Queen Mother of Yanrong was aloof and arrogant, and it was impossible for her to be so close to a man.
Moreover, she happened to meet the Queen Mother when she followed Senior Brother Dong to offer elixirs. The impression was quite profound, but over time, it became a little blurry.
While Zhao Xianhua was deep in thought, Duoying said:
"Everything starts with the great uncle. Twenty years ago, the great uncle had a dispute with the master and left Danxia Peak in anger. I heard from the master that the two even fought at that time.
However, about half a month ago, the great uncle suddenly returned to Danxia Peak and brought a group of mysterious people with him. Not only did they seriously injure and imprison the leader, they also took away the main peak's elixir luck.
What's even more annoying is that many disciples of Danxia Peak have become traitors. These guys deserve to die! ”
The more the girl talked, the angrier she became, and she whipped the horse's buttocks hard.
Jiang Shouzhong nodded in agreement: "You're right, traitors deserve to die the most. They deserve to have children without skin and swallows. It's so shameless and shameless. You're right, Senior Zhao."
Zhao Xianhua looked a little ugly and nodded stiffly.
On the road, there were many people walking around.
Many people just glanced at the carriage and didn't pay attention, and no fight happened. About an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a mountain path.
"This is the boundary of Mohai Mountain, and the Moon Bridge in the Water is on the mountain."
Duoying pointed to the top of the mountain and said.
Jiang Shouzhong raised his head and looked into the distance. Judging from the overall shape of the mountain, there was nothing outstanding, except that there was a faint colorful rainbow at the top, hanging across the sky.
At this time, he noticed that Zhao Xianhua's expression seemed a little nervous and her eyes were darting around from time to time.
Jiang Shouzhong looked around and found nothing, so he simply asked directly: "What is Senior Zhao so nervous about? Is he afraid that the second uncle will catch up with him?"
Zhao Xianhua shook her head and said: "I'm not afraid of being chased by my second senior brother. At worst, I'll just run away. I'm just looking for Ying'er's master and senior brother to see if they're here."
Jiang Shouzhong said in a teasing tone:
"I always feel that Senior Zhao is very conflicted. He wants to see them but also seems not to want to see them."
Zhao Xianhua smiled reluctantly: "That's true. I want to see them safe here, but I'm afraid that they will appear and be discovered by the second senior brother and the thieves, and they will be in danger."
"Brother!"
As the saying goes, you get what you say.
At this moment, Duoying's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted towards a familiar figure at the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Xianhua's expression changed suddenly, and she subconsciously prepared to rush forward.
But Jiang Shouzhong accidentally stood in front of her one step earlier, allowing Duoying to run over first.
"Master Jiang!"
Zhao Xianhua's face was full of anger.
Jiang Shouzhong pretended to be confused: "What's wrong, Senior Zhao? Why do I feel that you are more nervous now."
Zhao Yunhua secretly practiced her skills and raised her fingers.
However, something unexpected happened next - just as Duo Ying ran up to her senior brother Hou Qi, before she was ready to speak, the latter suddenly grabbed her neck.
Bang!
Duoying's petite body flew out and hit a stone tablet at the foot of a mountain.
Hou Qi stepped forward, ready to punch his beloved junior sister again, but suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of him.
Then Hou Qi was punched in the abdomen and flew backwards.
Jiang Shouzhong helped Duoying up, frowning and staring at Hou Qi, whose eyes were full of violence and evil: "What's wrong with this guy? Could it be that he's possessed?"
