When one of the masters expressed his opinions and the topic ended, Chu Xiang said: "Everyone, this meeting has been enough to clear up the doubts. It is a great blessing for Chu that you can come forward. Thank you for your generous advice." Chu Xiang said to all the people. Bow down.
Then Chu Xiang announced loudly: "This Tao discussion meeting is over. The outer Taoist friends please leave first, and the middle Taoist friends please be patient and calm."
After hearing Chu Xiang's announcement that the meeting on Taoism was over, some were reluctant to give up and some were regretful, but most of them were satisfied and evacuated quietly and orderly under Chu Xiang's command.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: I have benefited a lot, thank you Mr. Chu.
The sound was like thunder on the ground, waking up everyone. Everyone turned their heads, faced the Half-Moon Pavilion, bowed and shouted: Thank you, Mr. Chu.
At the beginning, the sound was sparse, but after a while, the chaotic sounds converged into a sound wave that resounded throughout the sky, echoing in the streets and alleys of Wucheng. The crowd bowed like a wave, which was extremely spectacular.
Chu Xiang laughed. He was finally sure that what he did was right, and the scene in front of him was the best proof. Although the world is in chaos, people still have a grateful heart. It does not mean that humanity has ceased to exist.
Chu bowed in all directions in return, and the crowd bowed again and again before slowly dispersing. After almost all the crowd dispersed, some experts who had not left said goodbye to Chu Xiang. Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng had already approached, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to plot against Chu Xiang.
"It makes me look like a big shot." Chu Xiang said with a smile after the crowd dispersed.
"You are not a big shot yet, Mr. Chu Da. There are not many people in the country who don't know your name." Gongsun Qidao kept observing the surroundings.
Shi Wuzheng urged: "Leave first."
Chu Xiang knew that the situation was not optimistic, and there were many conservative masters around him. He was not sure what they would think, so he immediately left Banyueting with Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng.
When the three of them left Banyueting, Gongsun Qi took the lead. He did not dare to take the main road and chose quiet and uninhabited paths. In the dead of night, the three of them walked quickly in the alley until they returned to the gate of Nanhua Villa. They didn't find anyone suspicious, which was a bit unexpected.
The Zhike monk at the door dutifully guarded the door. When he saw it was Chu Xiang and the three of them, he bowed slightly and put his hands together. There are countless places in Wucheng, and the safest one for Chu Xiang is Nanhua Villa. Chu Xiang understands this, and both Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi understand it.
Nanhua Villa rarely fights with others, and it is not very powerful. In a community with an area of less than 10,000 square meters, the monks in the courtyard are only thirty, and the total number of people is less than a hundred, but few people dare to make trouble, even the powerful The mountain guest alliance will be defeated, who dares to cross the thunder pool lightly.
The three of them entered the Nanhua Villa. As soon as Chu Xiang crossed the threshold, he was suddenly frightened. His mind was like thunder, and his vest felt cold. He subconsciously drew his sword, and a sharp sound of metal and metal rang out, and his arm was shaken violently. , the long knife was slapped on the back of the head, and the whole person was knocked back a foot.
"Sniper, be careful." Chu Xiang shouted, his body moved instantly and he hid in the sniper's blind spot.
When Chu Xiang blocked the way, Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi already felt something abnormal, so they flew out and quickly stalked towards the sniper's direction. The Zhike monk at the door also followed them and chased them away.
Chu Xiang's loud shouts and the sharp sound of metal and metal alarmed the people in the courtyard. The lights turned on, and the entire courtyard was as bright as day. Several agile monks flew out.
"Let's go and search for the enemy. Others are on alert and must not act rashly." Liaoyin's deep voice came, and several monks who were about to fly out stopped. Only two of them pointed in the direction of Chu. Rush away.
Seeing the two monks disappear into the night, Chu Xiang felt a surge of anger in his heart. The other party's plan was very deep and terrifying. Instead of taking action at Banyueting, knowing that he was too focused at that time to plot, he chose him to return to Nanhua Villa, just as he walked through the door, and fired when his mind was relaxed. If he hadn't been facing the danger, With a strong intuition, this shot may very well kill him.
The more Chu Xiang thought about it, the more terrifying the enemy became. The last assassination was done face to face. This time, he sniped directly from a distance without showing his face at all. If he couldn't catch the sniper, he wouldn't know who his opponent was. Thinking of the last plot, Chu Xiang was suddenly frightened. He moved, changed his appearance, and swept out of the other courtyard from the sniper's blind spot.
The last assassination was carried out by people from Tai Chi Sect. If it was still done by people from Tai Chi Sect this time, it is very likely that he was not the only one to be targeted. During the battle with the zombies in the valley, Chen Ying should have known that Shi Wuzheng was holding the Longquan Sword. If he really knew, he might have plotted against Shi Wuzheng in this attack.
During the Dao Discussion Conference just now, there were eleven Dan Jin masters present. Apart from Chu Xiang and the other three, only Sun Ying and another Dan Jin master spoke out to discuss Dao. The other six people were obviously conservatives. People, if these six people were waiting for Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi at the sniper's place at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chu Xiang flew over and chased Shi Wuzheng and the two of them. Chu Xiang did not hide his whereabouts and deliberately exposed himself in a conspicuous place while shouting: "Come back."
The sniper's shooting point was a thousand meters away. Chu Xiang was anxious and flew with all his strength, like a meteor and lightning, and his figure flashed away in the night.
"What's wrong?" After chasing five or six hundred meters, Shi Wuzheng's voice came from the front.
"It might be a trap, go back first," Chu Xiang said. Shi Wuzheng, Gongsun Qi and Zhike Seng were all there. Ling Qing and Ling Yuan heard Chu Xiang's call and returned to join them.
"Not bad." Gongsun Qi suddenly said in surprise, with a very solemn expression.
The few people avoided the residents who were awakened by Chu Xiang's shouting and returned to Nanhua Villa with caution. The sniper did not take action again.
Master Liaoyin stood at the door. When he saw a few people coming back, he ordered everyone to leave. The lights in the other courtyard were extinguished and plunged into darkness. Zhike Monk stood back at the door again.
After thanking the monk Zhike, they returned to the lobby of the other courtyard. Chu Xiang clasped his hands and expressed his feelings and vows: "Thank you two masters for your help."
"Donor, you're welcome." He said with emotion.
He put his hands together and bowed slightly.
"You guys should go back and rest first." Liao Yin said to the two of them.
"Master, this matter shouldn't cause you any trouble. You should go back and rest." Chu Xiang said to the great monk Yin.
Liaoyin nodded and said: "Okay. If you need anything, please inform the monk at any time. All the Dizhi rooms are vacant. You can stay in any room you want."
The three of them entered the Chen-shaped room with the door in the shadow, sat down cross-legged, and Shi Wuzheng asked, "Why are you sure it's a trap?"
"First, you all spoke at the Dao Discussion Conference; second, the first time I was assassinated was by people from the Tai Chi Sect, and Chen Ying knew the three of us, and it is very likely that he knew that what you had was Longquan; third Third, there were too many Danjin masters at the conference; fourth, they dared to kill people at the gate of Nanhua Villa."
"Fifth, if you want to get rid of someone, it's best to kill his helpers first." Gongsun Qi added.
Shi Wuzheng fell into deep thought for a moment, and then said: "These reasons are enough. But have you ever thought that this is not necessarily the hand of a disciple of Taiji Sect."
"You mean to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Chu Xiang said.
"Not bad." Shi Wuzheng nodded.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Gongsun Qi frowned.
"In any case, it is very likely that it is a conservative force." Chu Xiang said.
"I think so too. The situation in Wucheng is very complicated recently. We'd better be careful and don't get plotted by others." Gongsun Qidao.
After discussing for a while, the three of them meditated and rested. The two consecutive days of Taoism conference were a big loss for the three of them.
The situation in Wucheng was chaotic, and Shi Wuzheng did not want his disciples to be involved in the turmoil. Early the next morning, Shi Wuzheng was preparing to take his disciples back to Guicheng. Gongsun Qi was also preparing to set off to Siberia to search for temperature data. Chu Xiang asked Leng Ruyue to be there. After setting a location at the mobile station, I called Duanmeng to say goodbye to a few people.
Chu Xiang frowned when he saw Duan Meng. A tall woman who was even more beautiful than Leng Ruyue followed Duan Lao, with a short knife hidden in her waist. Her expression was cold and stern, and there was an evil spirit between her eyebrows. She looked at Chu Xiang warily.
Just as Gongsun Qi came over, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly called: "Qianxi, come here."
The cold and stern woman walked to Gongsun Qi, and Gongsun Qi said to her: "This is your big brother Chu, Chu Xiang."
The cold and stern woman nodded to Chu Xiang and said nothing.
"Her name is Li Ruqian." Gongsun Qi said to Chu Xiang.
"Yes, it has great potential." Chu Xiang nodded.
Being praised by Chu Xiang, Gongsun Qi was a little proud and said, "Do you dare to compare?"
"Xiaoyue and her? How do we compare?" Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"Next time we meet, let's see who is stronger between the two of them." Gongsun Qidao.
"Okay." Chu Xiang said.
"What's the point of Guangbi? Let's make some bets." Shi Wuzheng's voice sounded, and he came with six disciples.
"Yes. What kind of bet would you like?" Chu Xiang said.
"I have an idea." Shi Wuzheng said.
Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi both looked at Shi Wuzheng.
"Whoever loses will go to the paddy field at the east gate and catch a hundred earthworms." Shi Wuzheng said seriously.
The expressions of the two people changed drastically, and Duan Meng said with a smile: "Okay, this is a good idea."
"Okay, Lao Shi, you're a guy with bad feelings." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"Old Chu dares to bet, Gongsun, you won't dare, right?" Shi Wuzheng said provocatively.
"Whoever is afraid of whom will stop gambling." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"Did you hear that? You must not lose. If you lose, go and catch two hundred." Chu Xiang turned his head and said seriously to Leng Ruyue.
"Old Chu, don't try to change the concept secretly. Even if Xiaoyue wants to catch two hundred, you still have to catch one hundred by yourself. Don't try to cheat." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"Why are you nervous? I'm afraid you will catch me yourself." Chu Xiang looked at Gongsun Qida sideways.
"Lao Shi, we have opened the market, don't you find a representative to join the game?" Chu Xiang turned his head and said to Shi Wuzheng provocatively.
"That's right, Lao Shi, do you have the guts to join the game?" Gongsun Qiguai said with a smile.
Shi Wuzheng smiled and said, "I can't let men bully women."
"Is it because you can't do it or you don't dare?" Gongsun Qi sneered.
"It's hard to win with force, but it's ugly to lose. Do you think I'm so stupid?" Shi Wuzheng still smiled.
"If you don't dare, just say you don't dare, with so many reasons." Gongsun Qi sneered.
"It's up to you." Shi Wuzheng looked calm and unprovoked.
"I think Lao Shi is afraid of being seen digging earthworms in the paddy field." Chu Xiang suddenly said.
"Haha, yes, that must be the case. Someone saw the Sword Immortal digging up earthworms in the paddy fields. Haha, that's really interesting." Gongsun Qi couldn't help but laugh while talking.
Duan Meng looked at Shi Wuzheng with a strange expression on his face, probably imagining Shi Wuzheng digging for earthworms. After a while, he finally couldn't help but smile. Next to him, Leng Ruyue covered her mouth with a strange expression, obviously trying not to dare. Laugh out loud.
Shi Wuzheng's expression did not change, as if he had not heard what Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi said, but the disciple behind him, Ma Cong, could not bear the excitement and shouted: "Master, I made a bet with them."
"That's right, that's right. A manly man is afraid of two women telling the truth without being laughed to death." Gongsun Qizheng was worried that Shi Wuzheng wouldn't take the bait, but Ma Cong jumped out and played into his heart.
Shi Wuzheng smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, his apprentice could not withstand the provocation and took the initiative to challenge him. He touched his apprentice's head and said, "You have been fooled by these two old foxes."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely not lose." Ma Cong said solemnly.
"Okay, then it's up to you." Shi Wuzheng said with a slight smile, without blaming Ma Cong.
"Old Chu, Lao Shi has entered the game, three of us, how to decide the bet?" Gongsun Qi looked very proud.
"In a round battle, you get two points for a win, one point for a tie, and no points for a loss. The highest score doesn't require catching earthworms, the second place gets fifty, the bottom one gets a hundred, and the apprentice gets twice as much," Chu Xiangdao said.
"Okay, that's it." Gongsun Qi clapped his hands and shouted.
Shi Wuzheng smiled bitterly and nodded.
After making a battle agreement, a group of people headed to the mobile station in a mighty manner. With the strange combination and the recent most popular people, the group's return rate was almost 100%. Fortunately, the mobile station was not far away and they would arrive soon. , otherwise a group of people might be gathered around to watch forcefully.
When entering the restaurant, almost everyone in the restaurant turned to look at Chu Xiang and his party, with their eyes filled with complex emotions such as curiosity, reverence, envy, and jealousy.
Twelve people were seated, and the dishes they ordered were already prepared when they were seated. Waiters filed in and served drinks and dishes. Seeing that Chu Xiang, Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng didn't move their chopsticks, Leng Ruyue, Li Ruqian and Ma Cong had no choice but to sit upright.
"Eat, eat." The senior officer looked at the young face next to him, smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and then Chu Xiang and the others started eating. Duan Meng was very happy. A lonely old man was surrounded by so many people who respected and loved him. This was something he had never dared to think about before. He thought he would die quietly in loneliness and helplessness in this life. In some unknown corner.
People at the surrounding tables looked at Chu Xiang and the group of people, whispering to each other, and talking about it. Unexpectedly, the three great masters in the limelight were so arrogant, so easy-going, and so respectful to an old man who had no strength to restrain a chicken. They let Duan Meng sit in the main seat instead of Chu Xiang, Shi Wuzheng, Gongsun Qi, Shi Wuzheng, and Chu Xiang. Instead, he sat in the last seat opposite Duan Meng, with Leng Ruyue and Gongsun Qi sitting on both sides.
Seeing that several Wudang disciples were a little reserved, Chu Xiang said: "Old Shi, you Wudang people are good at everything. You are good-looking, good at Kung Fu, and you eat so well. There is only one thing that is not good, which makes it easy for you to suffer." .”
"Which one?" Gongsun Qi asked curiously.
"It's too slow to eat." Chu Xiang said.
