At the foot of Qinglian Mountain.
There is a big city for cultivators, where all members of the sect family who are not qualified to practice live. There are also various weapon refining and alchemy pavilions, which are the main places for cultivators within a radius of several thousand miles. If there are those who want to practice in the cave, You can also go to Lingdu Mountain, where there are some cultivation sites with higher spiritual energy prepared for casual cultivators. However, the cost of spiritual stones is very high, and ordinary casual cultivators cannot afford them.
There are no walls around the city, only tall stone gate towers everywhere, with three characters: Qingyu City.
Wang Qi wore a bamboo hat and Xiao Hanyan covered his face with a gauze. During that battle, two people escaped. No matter what the situation is here now, in order to avoid trouble, both of them hid their true faces and waited until they arrived at Wuchen Villa. .
Qingyu City is a hundred miles in circumference. The main roads are paved with bluestones and are straight and wide. A large river divides the city into two parts. There are residential buildings on the periphery and four major markets in the center. Both sides of the river are even more lively. Boats shuttle back and forth along both sides of the river. They are all cultivation shops of various kinds, occupying precious areas and doing prosperous business.
The two entered the city and walked along the river. Xiao Hanyan was thinking about how to take revenge and had no other concerns, but Wang Qi opened his ears and searched for information hundreds of meters away.
This was his experience in life. When he arrived at a place, he would first inquire about the news and see what the people in the city were talking about. True knowledge comes from gossip. When he arrived at an alchemy pavilion, Wang Qi suddenly stopped and said quietly. He stood for a moment and frowned.
Seeing this, Xiao Hanyan also stopped and asked in a low voice: "My dear friend, what's the matter?"
Wang Qi took a deep breath and said angrily: "If God wants it to perish, it will make it crazy. The Shen family is so shameless in making trouble." There are many cultivation shops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and he learned from a conversation that things would actually happen. So twisted!
"My dear friend, what did the Shen family do?" Xiao Hanyan was a little surprised to see him frowning and angry. After getting along with each other these days, this young man has always been calm and upright. Even in the battle that day, he was extremely calm. Why did he suddenly become angry today? .
Wang Qi pressed the bamboo hat and said, "You can't stay here for a long time. We'll talk about it after we leave the city."
The two stopped talking and left Qingyu City directly.
Tens of miles further ahead, there is Qinglin Mountain. There are not many people on the road. Most of them are outer sect disciples buying daily necessities. They walked to a forest to rest, and when they saw no one on the left or right, they entered the forest. In the middle, the figure is hidden.
Wang Qi's six senses were wide open, and he observed the surroundings. After a while, he took out three small flags from the Qiankun bag, waved them down, and put the spirit stones in the formation plate. The three-talented psychedelic formation was started by the two of them. The surroundings cover the figure.
After setting up the formation, he said: "I just heard from the monks' chat that the Shen family is stirring up trouble and confusing right and wrong. Now the two of us are wanted by Wuchen Villa and have been listed as unforgivable criminals." At this point. Here, he smiled in his heart, his status as a wanted criminal became even more serious.
Xiao Hanyan was shocked when he heard this, frowned, and asked: "How could this happen? What kind of rumor is it?"
"Don't be angry if I tell you." Wang Qi said with a bitter smile.
"My benefactor, please speak." Xiao Hanyan saw Wang Qi's expression and knew it was not a good thing.
"According to what the man said, Shen Yuming and your husband are good friends. The two of them went out to drink and talk about important matters that day. When they came back, they discovered the adultery between you and me. Your husband was killed by my sneak attack on the spot. Shen Yuming fought hard. He was defeated and fled to the south of the city. He met two elders of the Shen family here, but he was seriously injured and was captured by you and me. The two elders failed to fight for a long time and left seriously injured.
At present, the eldest elder of the Shen family has written to the court to arrest you and me. Law enforcement disciples will come to arrest you soon. "Wang Qi said slowly.
When he heard such rumors, he also felt that the matter had changed strangely. He was angry in his heart, but also funny. He was angry that the Shen family could come up with such an insidious and despicable plan, and laughed at him for being so smart and not knowing what he was doing. I dare to confuse right and wrong.
After hearing this, Xiao Hanyan's face turned red and her whole body trembled. It was not until a moment later that she slowly calmed down. She and her husband had been in love for hundreds of years, so how could they be framed like this? The Shen family was really despicable and shameless.
She bowed again and said, "It's a shame that my benefactor has been exposed to this rumor. I will go to Wuchen Villa alone, and even if I die, I will tell the truth."
Wang Qi chuckled, this woman is a bit naive, she has not practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, and has not cultivated her Taoist heart in the world of mortals. How can she see the cruelty of this world? It seems that her husband Yang Feiyuan really spoiled her.
Seeing Wang Qi laughing, Xiao Hanyan frowned and said, "My benefactor doesn't believe it."
"If you go up the mountain alone, you may have fallen into the underworld before entering the mountain gate." Wang Qi said seriously, "The Shen family must be ready at this time. Once they find you and me, they will kill you directly. The Shen family will dare to spread rumors like this. How can I let you go to the mountain gate? I won't give you a chance to speak at all. It's impossible to say that the net has been set up at this time, waiting for you and me."
"This...this...how could it be like this!" Xiao Hanyan was dumbfounded, not daring to imagine that this upright person would do such a thing, she added: "Wuchen Villa will sentence people to death without even investigating. ."
"There are so many things going on in this big sect, how can we investigate everything clearly? Moreover, this matter was reported by the entire Shen family, so people can't help but disbelieve it. Moreover...the Shen family is one of the four major branches, a thousand-year-old family, and they have their own connections, so they have to report this matter." Once the nature is determined, it should be easy." Wang Qi said, when it comes to the survival of the entire family, it is necessary to do everything possible.
Xiao Hanyan had calmed down at this time, and she realized that the right and wrong were not so simple to explain. Seeing that Wang Qi was not in a hurry, she should have already had countermeasures, so she asked: "If you please benefactor , so what?"
Wang Qi said with a smile: "Confuse his mind first, and then destroy his ambition. Just wait here while I go to do something. In less than three days, this place will be in chaos. When you and I go up the mountain, we will definitely succeed or fail."
"I will obey my benefactor's order." Xiao Hanyan said, feeling relieved when he saw that the young man was calm and composed.
The main meeting hall of the Shen family.
Elder Shen was sitting in the hall. In front of him were the two elders Zhang and Ji. It turned out that these two people had not gone far. They just hid their bodies to see how the matter would develop. If nothing happened, they would come back to apologize. If anything happened, they would come back to apologize. If you are harmonious, just walk away.
After all, they have been running this place for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to let it go. It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go back to simplicity again. If they really leave, everything will start from scratch. It will be as difficult as climbing to heaven. Besides, they also have families. If they run away in fear of crime, it will be difficult for their family members.
"You are back. If you do such a thing, you should be killed!" Elder Shen said bitterly, looking at the two people in front of him with rage.
Elder Ji was the first to say: "First elder, please calm down. The master of the family is determined to have his own way. It's hard for us to persuade him with good words." He frowned and felt helpless.
"Yes, we tried our best to persuade him, but the head of the family has obsessions and has entered the devil's realm. It will be difficult to turn back." Elder Zhang also agreed.
He thought for a while and then said: "That day after the family leader stabbed City Master Yang, only his Taoist companion escaped. He was already in our formation, but unexpectedly there was a passing young master who also had a sword pill. He said The skill is profound, the sword energy and thunder sound are what he strikes, and in just a few breaths, he captures the master of the house, and the woman is also holding a top-quality treasure, it is really difficult for us to resist, so we have to escape."
"Do you know what state that young man is in?" the great elder asked.
The two elders Zhang Ji frowned. They had never fought with the young man. They only had one flying sword collision and were eaten by a sword. It was really impossible to judge the level of cultivation. In the end, Elder Zhang said: "It should be the cultivation level." A monk in the late stage of Qi, he also has a mantra to immobilize the body, which is very powerful. The master of the house was shocked twice before he was captured."
"That man also has a Taoist method that can enlighten flying swords. My Qingyuan Sword was turned into dust with one finger of his, and then he opened his mouth and swallowed it." Elder Ji said this, still heartbroken. That flying sword was The money he had accumulated over hundreds of years was just right for his Taoist skills, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed by that young man with one finger. Every time he thought about it, he felt extremely regretful.
Elder Shen was silent when he heard the words. He didn't know what kind of magic this was. Could it be the Kunlun Sect's Mystical Dust-Returning Sutra? He had only heard of this technique, which could turn things into dust, but this technique The requirements are very high, and generally only Jindan monks can master it.
Then he shook his head, not to mention that the Kunlun sect is too far away from here. Even if there are disciples who come down the mountain, they will only go to Xihuang Shazhou to practice, and few people will come here.
He sighed, all this was due to the master of the family being possessed by a demon, and so was the old master. He said, "Let's draw those two people and show them to the public to inform the world. Those who report the information will be heavily rewarded."
"Yes, elder." The two stepped back.
Qingyu City has become lively in the past two days. At the time when the Four Meridians are being promoted, it is a strange thing that the head of the Shen family was captured by others and did not know whether he was alive or dead. Erotic affairs have always been the hottest talk in the streets. Just discuss this matter.
At 1:00 today, notices were posted on the four main gates, and portraits of Wang Qi and Xiao Hanyan were posted. Anyone who reported this would be rewarded with a generous reward of 500,000 spiritual stones and three volumes of Taoism. Immediately, monks from all over the country came here after hearing the news.
Wang Qi left the formation in the forest and told Xiao Hanyan to wait here. The forest was remote and protected by the formation, so he would not be discovered. However, he changed his appearance and returned to Qingyu City. His martial arts was great, and his body was You can change your height, shortness, fatness or thinness at will.
First, he went to the city to buy the Four Treasures of the Study, then found an inn, carved a printing plate, and clearly wrote down the harm Xiao Hanyan had suffered, and printed tens of thousands of them.
You can confuse right and wrong. I also have newspapers all over the city. I will first make him restless in the public discussion and disrupt his position.
That night, Wang Qi used the Star Step, and he looked like a ghost. He posted this newspaper everywhere in the city, on high buildings and low buildings, on two trees on the river bank, and even at ten steps. Everywhere he saw were pieces of white paper. Printed in red, it is shocking. There is no protective formation in Qingyu City. I wonder if there is any need for formation in Wuchen Villa.
Less than the next day, someone discovered these papers, and Qingyu City was in an uproar. Yesterday, the Shen family just posted a wanted notice on the four gates of the building. Today, the city was full of white papers with blood on them, accusing the Shen family of stirring up trouble and confusing right and wrong. .
It turned out that the head of the Shen family, in order to buy spiritual treasures to turn into golden elixirs, had the idea of killing people to seize the treasures. He secretly attacked Yang Feiyuan, the lord of Shuangyi City, and forced him to obtain the best treasures. Then he was escaped from the city by his Taoist companions, and was attacked by a passerby. Rescue, there was a big battle, the head of the Shen family was killed, and the second elder fled.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves! !
The city was filled with wind and rain and thunder! !
I think the two Taoist couples in Shuangyi City are also well-known figures, and they have many good comments in the city. The Shen family's words were originally quite discussed. As soon as this article came out, the whole city was immediately in chaos. I thought that the head of the Shen family would dare to do such a thing, but both sides held different opinions, and it was unknown whether it was true or false.
But there are people who are familiar with the Taoist couple who come out to speak and talk about how loving the Taoist couple is. Everyone who has been to Shuangyi City knows it. Nonsense! !
Youdao is a person whose words are feared. The news spread quickly, but within two hours, the Imperial Palace of Wuchen Villa took action, and an investigation order was issued.
Submission: Thoroughly investigate the murder of the head of the Shen family.
