According to the hexagram given by Qian Yin, the person behind the death of Xue Yuji's sister was in this building, and Chu Jingchuan, who was in a high position, happened to drink a pot of Zhongming, and his words and deeds were different. , seems to be extremely obscure, so Liu Qing has some clarity in her heart. Although I don't know why this person possesses the three realms of spiritual cultivation, after a little exploration, it is difficult to tell which immortal family he studied under. Fortunately, he can at least get some clues. For Liu Qing, this trip is already worthwhile.
Being in the capital of the West County, knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger is enough, not to mention that he has already gone through a trick and blindly pressed too hard, but it will cause all kinds of troubles. After all, Liu Qing was able to escape through dangerous situations, but in the village outside the city gate, it was difficult for him to escape on all fours.
As for the young masters talking loudly on the second floor, Liu Qing never paid attention to it. After going down the third floor, he stopped to listen for a while, then leisurely went downstairs on his own, leaving Li Juan's confused gaze behind him. With his cuffs swaying, he left Shedelou and headed straight to the market.
After nearly a stick of incense had been burned after the scholar left, Chu Jingchuan on the third floor finally slowly exhaled the turbid air. The tea around him instantly turned into pure air and dispersed. His shoulders slumped down and his face turned gray.
It was just a test, but Chu Jingchuan's cultivation in the three realms was not fake at all. He had not looked around for many years, and his foundation was solid and solid. However, when facing the scholars who had just arrived, they were still facing heavy rains and strong tides. On the path of cultivation, The exquisite method collided with the scholar's inner energy and dispersed immediately upon contact. It was unexpected that he was not a single enemy. Master Chu, however, was very clear-minded. The scholar probably didn't use his magical powers at all when he made his move. He only used his vast inner energy to slightly attack, and then sealed the thousands of acupoints all over his body.
After panting for a long time, Chu Jingchuan, whose face was more than a few shades of gray, managed to hold up his head and spoke hoarsely, "Brother, if you have any doubts, just speak up. In the past few days, even if you ask me again, I don't want to speak again." Mentioned it." Then he grinned and smiled in relief, "It's really uncomfortable to force someone to get out of their roots."
Li Yu, who didn't say anything for a while, stared at his old friend for a long time, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and sighed deeply.
"Brother Li, are you serious about not asking?" Chu Jingchuan's face was still very pale, and he said with a helpless smile, "Although the two of us have a close personal relationship, we shouldn't hide anything, but in life, there are always things that God knows and the earth knows about me. You know, naturally not everything will be clear, so I hope you will be more patient."
Li Yu was broad and fat, but his mind was meticulous. The scholar had already made a rough guess based on what he said just now, but he didn't question him. He put his palms at the hem of his clothes, closed his eyes and said, "Something happened unexpectedly. I I don’t know where to start asking, since Mr. Chu is determined to speak, he can just speak on his own."
"In the 30th year of Emperor Quan's reign, there was a heavy snowfall in the middle of winter. The head of the Chu family at that time personally led hundreds of guards and killed nearly a hundred members of his family, including his brothers, close associates, relatives and friends. Corpses were scattered all over the fields. The thick winter snow was poured with blood. In Xijun As the Chu family spreads, it will actually make a way for them."
"Brother, you always ask me why I don't like vermilion rouge on women's lips. In fact, I don't know why. When I was 80% young, I escaped from the Chu Mansion and briefly saw the color of blood in the middle of winter. That's why I always kept it in mind. After all these years, I will never forget it.”
Contrary to Li Yu's expectation, Chu Jingchuan would usually talk about old things in a few words. No matter how he asked, he would not mention it more. But this time he said casually, but he really wanted to talk about it in detail, and he couldn't help but frown. It's wrinkled.
Chu Jingchuan didn't care, and asked someone to add tea soup to moisten his mouth a little, and continued, "Everyone knows the power of aristocratic families. Even in the territory of Yizhang, compared with the poor family, it is easy to get ahead, but they forget that it is easy to get ahead. It is also difficult to get along in a noble family. If you want to win a powerful lineage, you have to use thunderous means to establish your power and destroy the lineage before you can relax. The Chu family is also unavoidable. When you take office as the head of the Chu family, it is very easy to win the position of head of the family. He turned around and used his swords to clean up the entire Chu family."
"After that, only me and an old horseman were left in my father's lineage. By luck, I escaped from the treacherous territory of the capital of Daxi County and went to Nanli. People said that I had the talent to practice Taoism. , Fortunately, I became a disciple of the Immortal Family and spent more than ten years of hard training, and then I gained such a level of cultivation that is neither high nor low."
"The years passed by in the mountains, not to mention the cultivation of both civil and martial arts, which was very time-consuming. When I finished my studies, I remembered that in the capital of Xijun, there were still debts that had not been repaid, so I left the mountain gate, kept my name anonymous, and begged a tea server in the Chu family. The position of servant was probably due to destiny, so I happened to meet the tea-picking woman outside the city that I had been thinking about for many years."
Speaking of this, Chu Jingchuan laughed at himself and looked up at his opponent Li Yu, "Brother, I have probably never thought that a vicious and cruel person like me, who only cares about power, would almost give up at that time. The blood feud that wiped out the family line joined hands with the tea-picking women in the villages outside the city, and they no longer care about world affairs. "
"This is a fallacy," Li Yu shook his head, with a calm expression, "The head of the Chu family, who is such a good chess player and whose literary talent is second to none, would be extremely boring if he had never had a romantic affair when he was young."
"It's not a romantic affair," Chu Jingchuan lowered his eyes, "It's just a choice between the two. My choice is to step into this muddy pond instead of forgetting grudges together."
"The year I cleaned up the Chu family, I can't remember too much now. It was probably in the fifties of the New Year, and it was also the middle of heavy snow and winter. The matter was serious, so I took all those involved outside the city, just for the purpose. The owl's good sword has dozens of curled blades. From the top of the city, there is blood and ice and snow, which is several times worse than before."
Li Yu pouted, "No wonder many years later, my father, who is good at tea ceremony, always said that the new tea picked from outside the city contained such a strong smell of blood that ordinary people could not drink it. However, since one is born in a noble family, this is also the case. It is common for clans to fight. Even the elders of the family and the county guards will not say anything. With nine sets of carriages and horses, even if the horses are fighting, only one or two good horses are left to pull the carriage, and they can run faster. Well, the people in the carriage tent only care about the speed of the carriage and horses."
"Iron-beating family, the head of the Liushui family." Chu Jingchuan let out a sigh of relief and said cheerfully, "How could you be willing to talk openly with Brother Li? People with the same disease, futons as beds and tea soup as medicine, are always interested in talking. "
Li Yu let go of the tea cup with his strong fingers, raised his eyebrows and looked at the man sitting opposite him, who had a gray face but a much more relaxed expression, "Since I want to speak frankly, the thing that the scholar mentioned just now is you, Chu Jingchuan Do it with your own hands?”
Chu Jingchuan made a movement, then looked at Li Yu with a half-smiling look, his expression was sinister, his shoulders shrugged, and he laughed loudly. On the third floor, Zhang Kuang’s laughter could not be stopped.
"It is said that harm does not harm children, but reconciliation can resolve hatred. The only way is to eliminate them all from top to bottom."
"I have neglected my practice these years, but when it comes to activating the killing intent with swords, Chu is very familiar with it."
"Yes."
