Chapter 84: Design to earn villains
Chen Tianye, Qingshi and the other five people looked at each other in confusion. Chen Tianye touched his mustache, Teng Shouqian raised his shoulders, but Qingshi touched his chin thoughtfully.
Duan Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing and bent down and said: "These bandits are really country bumpkins who have never seen the world. They are all bastards."
"There are some fools," Shen Binghong also smiled, "but there are also smart people!"
"A fool can also be smart!" Qingshi smiled and shook his head and exclaimed, "I just figured it out now. That Barrett looks like a big fool, but he is actually the cunningest."
Chen Tianye, Teng Shouqian and Duan Xiaoyu also came to their senses. Teng Shouqian asked in confusion: "You mean these guys are acting for us? No way!"
"If that Barrett is really a jerk," Shen Binghong said with a smile, "these people won't all listen to him!"
"But!" Duan Xiaoyu said, "Why are they acting like this? Just run away if you can't beat them!"
"If he wants to run away, don't you still have to chase him?" Qingshi said, "Now they are acting like gods and monsters, and we don't even know whether we should chase him or not."
"That's right," Chen Tianye also understood and said with a laugh, "Now that we understand it, we are too embarrassed to chase him. Gods should have the demeanor of gods. Naturally, we can't chase them. If we continue to chase them, we will really suck people's blood. They are monsters. I can't catch up anymore, hahaha... These barbarians really have a fucking skill, so take it! Forget it, let's go, ignore them, let's get down to business and catch Zhu Ping. .”
Qingshi thought to himself that these fleeing gangsters were obviously barbarians in their clothing. Judging from their names and attitudes toward Zhu Ping, they basically didn't take him seriously. Perhaps those who chased Zhu Ping in the direction of his escape were Zhu Ping's die-hard subordinates.
Chen Tianye and other five people chased Zhu Ping in the direction of his escape. After passing through the town, there was a small forest. Beyond the forest, there was a weedy field covered with rocks. At the west end of the grassland are towering rocks.
Everyone ran over and saw Shen Feiyun and Wu Qinghan from a distance. They were standing under a thousand-foot rock wall, talking to each other. Several gangsters were lying on the ground, but Zhu Ping and others were nowhere to be seen.
When Shen Feiyun and Wu Qinghan saw the crowd, they also came up to greet them. Chen Tianye told Shen Feiyun about his situation.
Shen Feiyun nodded and said: "It's similar here. Those people ran away immediately when they saw something was wrong. It seems that although Zhu Ping gathered many people, they were all a mob. Look here..."
As Shen Feiyun spoke, he turned around and pointed to the rock wall behind him. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a square hole on the rock wall, about one foot long and one foot wide, which was obviously man-made. Less than ten steps into the cave entrance, there are two closed stone doors.
"Zhu Ping got into this cave when he ran here," Shen Feiyun continued. "After he ran in, the door in the cave was closed and we couldn't open it. Zhu Ping's minions chased after him and saw Zhu Ping getting into the cave. They ran away in all directions, only a few reckless ones came to attack us, but Qinghan took care of them all."
"Zhu Ping's movement speed is not slow!" Chen Tianye said in surprise, "You have chased me so far and you still haven't caught up?"
"Yes!" Shen Feiyun said, "With his level of cultivation, he shouldn't be so fast. By the way, Qingshi, go and see what's strange about the stone door of this cave."
"Okay!" Qingshi agreed, turned and walked towards the cave.
Shen Feiyun said: "The cave is narrow. Amano, you and I go in to help Qingshi, while the others stay outside to clean up the bodies of these gangsters."
After saying that, Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye followed Qingshi and entered the cave together in front of the stone gate.
Qingshi looked at the stone door carefully and saw that the two stone doors were tightly closed. The left and right door leaves were embedded with eighteen egg-sized dark gold door nails.
After Qingshi carefully observed it, he found that there were no mechanisms on the Shimen or the surrounding rock walls, so he put his hand against the Shimen and tried to push hard, but the Shimen naturally remained motionless.
Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye were behind Qingshi. Seeing him push the door open, Shen Feiyun said, "I just couldn't push it open with Qinghan, how about the three of us try together?"
"No need," Qingshi replied, "This is not a simple stone gate, it has a defensive array attached. I think it is at least a level 4 array. No, it should be level 5!"
"Blessed by a fifth-level magic circle?" Chen Tianye asked doubtfully, "That makes no sense! If the defensive magic circle here was set up by the people from Jiufeng Gate, then their mountain gate should also be blessed by a fifth-level defensive magic circle. Then Zhu Ping It’s simply impossible to capture it!”
"That's right!" Shen Feiyun said, "Zhu Shilong said that Zhu Ping should have powerful means that we don't know about. Could it be that he can break the fifth-level defensive array?"
Only a formation master can set up a magic circle, but a formation master is not required to break the formation. Students in the inner martial arts academy will basically learn the art of breaking the formation.
"Absolutely not!" Qingshi shook his head, but did not explain.
Although Shen Feiyun is not an array master, he also practices the art of breaking arrays. He knows that the possibility of Zhu Ping being able to break the fifth-level array is zero, so he does not question Qingshi's judgment.
Qingshi tentatively fumbled on the door nails of the two stone doors on the left and right, then lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Let's go out first. This stone door formation is not simple. I want to think about it carefully."
Seeing Qingshi, Shen Feiyun had no choice but to give up. Chen Tianye was unwilling to give in, and suddenly turned around and kicked the stone door. Chen Tianye's kick was very powerful. The defensive barrier of the stone door was stimulated by its power, and a transparent ripple like water appeared on the stone door. With Chen Tianye's kick, The kick hit the center and scattered in all directions, but the stone door did not move at all. Chen Tianye was bounced back by the energy barrier. After landing, he took three steps back and had no choice but to shake his head and walk out of the hole.
Teng Shouqian smiled and teased: "Senior Brother Chen, if you can break through this fifth-level magic circle with force, then you will be number one on the Tianlong Ranking."
"I know it can't be broken, and Jiang Chenxiu can't be broken." Chen Tianye smiled calmly and said, "I'm just going to kick him to vent my anger, what's the matter? If you have the ability, come and do it!"
"I don't have that ability!" Teng Shouqian said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen, do your feet hurt?"
"Junior Brother Teng, are you itchy?"
...
Shen Feiyun gathered everyone together to explain the situation, and then asked: "What do you think?" His eyes were directed at Shen Binghong.
Everyone knew that Shen Binghong was extremely smart, and they all looked at her without saying anything, waiting to hear her opinion.
Shen Binghong looked at Qingshi thoughtfully and asked: "Brother Qingshi, when we flew into the valley, I saw that the stone tower Zhu Ping was standing on seemed to be the eye of the original defensive formation in the valley. Do you think if we use that stone tower as the formation? Eye, can we set up a level five defensive array?"
Qingshi knew that all the seven people here had practiced the art of breaking formations. In addition to himself, Teng Shouqian was a second-level formation master. Although Chen Tianye had not passed the exam, his formation cultivation was higher than Teng Shouqian. Thinking that Shen Binghong actually had such knowledge, it was obviously not something that could be achieved by just practicing the art of breaking formations.
Just as he was about to ask Binghong, Teng Shouqian said in surprise: "That stone tower is the eye of the magic circle? No way!" He looked at Qingshi with a questioning look.
Qingshi smiled and asked Shen Binghong: "Are you Level 2 or Level 3?" He knew that since Shen Binghong asked him this in public, there was no need to hide it, so he asked.
"Level 2, I took the exam less than a month ago!" Shen Binghong said with a smile, "Brother Qingshi, don't laugh at me!"
"You two siblings are really good!" Qingshi laughed and said, "Jiayun is already a first-level array mage. I didn't expect you to be a second-level array mage."
"No!" Teng Shouqian said depressedly, "I was level two two years ago. Why can't I tell what the formation of that stone tower is?"
"Senior Brother Teng didn't pay attention!" Shen Binghong pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Qingshi, you haven't answered me yet!"
"I am Senior Brother Teng," Teng Shouqian said sourly, "Qingshi is Brother Qingshi! Tsk tsk..."
"You're so dumb! Shut it up." Chen Tianye glanced at Teng Shouqian and said.
Teng Shouqian didn't take it seriously after being scolded by Chen Tianye and still smiled, but Wu Qinghan seemed a little lonely.
"Binghong is right," Qingshi ignored Teng Shouqian and said, "That is indeed a defensive array, but it is not the only one. I think that using that stone tower as an array, we can set up a level 3 defensive array at most. The stone tower and the stone gate are not products of the same period."
"Well," Shen Binghong said, "I think so too. So the Shimen Array in this cave must not have been arranged by people from Jiufeng Sect?"
"Probably not!" Qingshi said, "The level of this defensive array in the cave is very high. I estimate it should be level five or higher. This array is very different from the arrays we usually see. It is different from the previous ones. The concept of a defensive array with a stone tower as the eye is completely different, and it is a very ancient formation method."
"Then how can Zhu Ping master this magic circle?" Teng Shouqian asked.
"It doesn't have to be mastered," Qingshi said. "I estimate that this Shimen array may be equipped with an array command. Zhu Ping can drive it as long as he has the array command."
"Then what should we do?" Teng Shouqian frowned and asked anxiously, "If this kid can't get in, we can't catch him!"
"We can't catch Zhu Ping," Shen Binghong said with a smile, "Let's catch a few minions first and interrogate them to see what secrets Zhu Ping and this cave have."
"That's right," Qingshi also said, "but I'm afraid it's useless to catch some small minions. We need to catch a few big ones."
"Yes!" Teng Shouqian said fiercely, "Let's find a way to catch some of their leaders, and rip off the head of anyone who dares not to tell the truth."
Shen Binghong looked at Qingshi and smiled: "Those guys just put on a show to deceive us. Let's put on a show this time and let those big guys stand up..."
The plan was decided, and everyone slowly flew back in the spaceship. Soon they arrived above the town, and saw one or two lookouts running away among the houses below.
Shen Feiyun stood on the bow of the ship and said loudly: "Listen, we are the imperial envoys of the Celestial Empire, here to arrest Zhu Ping's gang. Now the chief culprit Zhu Ping has been brought to justice. If Zhu Ping's rebellion means surrender, we will forget the blame. If we want to resist to the end, we will It’s a dead end.”
After a while, I saw some people slowly emerging from below, but they looked a little hesitant.
Chen Tianye stood on the bow and shouted loudly: "Zhu Ping is dead! Those of you who surrender will be spared death, and those who don't will be beheaded! I will only count three times, one..."
"Surrender!" a voice shouted, "We surrender!"
Then, gangsters in twos and threes emerged from various places in the town and soon gathered on the streets. They all looked at the spaceship and shouted to surrender.
Qingshi drove the spaceship down and floated a few feet above the grass outside the town. Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye Qingshi jumped off the spacecraft and landed on an earth and stone platform on the ground. Shen Feiyun loudly called for the surrendered gangsters to gather together. There were quite a few bandits, it looked like there were two to three hundred of them.
Shen Feiyun and the others knew that there must be many gangsters hiding in the town, but they didn't pay attention to them.
Shen Feiyun said loudly: "Since you have surrendered, let's forget the past. In the future, you must change your mind and start a new life. Do you know that you will never do evil again?"
"Shangguan is wise!"
"We will never do evil again. I will go home and farm tomorrow!"
"The Great Immortal is aware that we were all good people originally. It was Zhu Ping who forced us to kill people and set fires."
...
"Okay, okay," Shen Feiyun said, "I already know that you are all good people, and Zhu Ping was killed by me for his heinous behavior. Are there any of you who were originally from the Lu family, the Hu family, the Jiufeng sect and the Xueshan sect? What if? If you have any, please stand up, your sect has been persecuted by Zhu Ping, we are here to rescue you, and we will help you rebuild your home."
There was a commotion in the crowd, but no one stood up.
Qingshi winked, and Chen Tianye took two steps forward and said loudly: "People who originally belonged to various families and sects but were later abducted by Zhu Ping have registered with me. We will return the property looted by Zhu Ping to everyone and help everyone rebuild. home!"
The crowd cheered and almost all gathered around. Unexpectedly, Chen Tianye quickly asked Teng Shouqian and Wu Qinghan to get off the boat and help organize the gangsters to line up. He was responsible for asking questions while Qingshi pretended to take out a pen and paper to register.
"Shangguan Shangguan, I am Hu Shisan of the Hu family." A man at the head of the queue said while wiping his tears, "Zhu Ping killed more than a hundred members of my Hu family and stole countless wealth! "
"In that case, let's not count. Each person will be given 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones." Chen Tianye said seriously, "Who else is there in your Hu family? You pick them out and stand over there, and we will finish counting them." Give me money." He pointed to the open space on the left.
The man quickly pulled out seven or eight people from the crowd and walked to the open space on the left. A small man wanted to follow, but he kicked him back.
"Great Immortals! You are really the great saviors of our poor people!" A bald man wearing animal skins cried and threw himself at Chen Tianye's feet. "We are all from the Lu family! Zhu Ping, this beast, killed an old man of our clan. With his children, he took possession of our women, robbed all our belongings, and forced us to do bad things with him."
"That's right!" Another little man in animal skin clothes cried bitterly, "This beast Zhu Ping has robbed our Lu family of more than 10 million high-grade spiritual stones and other treasures! If Shangguan can help us recover half of it, we will be satisfied. Yes, we will definitely use this money to build a shrine for each Shangguan!"
Qingshi looked at these two living treasures and thought that most of the Lu family had been killed by them. He immediately said with a straight face: "You two are obviously barbarians, aren't you called Ba Shite? How did you become Lu?" Family? And you, your name is Ge, etc., are you also from the Lu family? "
The bald man said seriously: "My beloved wife is the daughter of the head of the Lu family, and I am the son-in-law of the Lu family! Why is it not the Lu family anymore?"
"Oh!" Qingshi said, "That's it! What about you?"
"My father is dead," the little man cried bitterly, "my mother remarried the second grandpa of the Lu family."
"That's it!" Qingshi said without changing his expression, "Then you just stand aside and wait."
Barrett and Grusa stood aside, and at least a hundred barbarians in the crowd rushed towards them.
Qingshi was shocked and said: "Why, you are all the Lu family's son-in-law and slutty son?"
"Yes, yes, yes," these people said in confusion, "We are all! We are all!"
"Stop!" Grusa shouted, "How could you deceive Shangguan like this? Get back here!"
"Brothers!" Barrett said, "After we receive compensation from the court, we will rebuild our Lujiazhuang. At that time, all of you can join the Lu family. If you join the Lu family, you will all be relatives. You are ours." Yes! You understand it all!"
Seeing these barbarians murmuring and retreating, Qingshi nodded to Barrett and said: "You are indeed a good son-in-law of the Lu family!" He turned around and shouted: "Next, is there anyone from the Jiufeng Sect?"
"Yes!" A man in gray clothes squeezed out from the crowd and said, "I am from Jiufeng Sect. My name is Zhan Dawei."
"Me too, me too." Another tall and thin man shouted. Then two more people ran out, and a total of four claimed to be from Jiufeng Sect. Qingshi looked at these people and estimated that they were not lying.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a big man running out of the group of barbarians and said: "I am the son-in-law of the Lord of the Jiufeng Sect Du Clan, the son-in-law. Do you think so?"
The last words were spoken while staring at the four people. The corners of the four people's mouths twitched and they dared not speak.
Qingshi ignored him and nodded to Shen Feiyun. Shen Feiyun understood and said, "Let's send out the Hu family, Lu family and Jiufeng clan today, and the rest will be sent out tomorrow."
Qingshi said loudly: "Hu Thirteen of the Hu family, both of you from the Lu family, please go with this one." As he spoke, he pursed his lips at Teng Shouqian. Teng Shouqian smiled and said, "Come with me." After saying that, Barrett and Grusha looked at each other hesitantly, but Hu Shisan followed Teng Shouqian and jumped on board without thinking.
Chen Tianye came over and stared at Barrett and Grusa and said, "Let's go! Do we still want to invite you?" The two had no choice but to jump on the spaceship, and Chen Tianye jumped on with a smirk on his face.
Qingshi turned to the five people at Jiufeng Gate and said, "Since we are at the original Jiufeng Gate location, you five can be considered landlords, so come with me." After that, he took the five people and jumped on the boat. go.
