"At three o'clock in the morning, two monks came to the store."
"From what they call them, they should be mother and son. The young man is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the woman can't see through the realm. Later I asked others and it turns out they are at the sixth level of foundation building."
"It was nothing at first, they were just hanging out..."
"Later, the woman took a fancy to a magic weapon on the shelf. She seemed very interested and asked about its origin..."
Su Yunxi, who was looking after the shop in Taiyue Pavilion, came over quickly.
"I told her that the magic weapons in our store have different origins. Some are refined by ourselves and some are purchased. There will be no problem..."
"The woman kept asking, with a bad look on her face, so I realized that the problem must have been robbed from the house. However, it was a first-level magic weapon, but its appearance was quite exquisite, nothing special..."
"Yue'er happened to come to the store to play at that time. She started to argue for a few words, but her tone was not very good, so the woman took action directly..."
After listening to the details, Zhong Yan understood that it was obvious that the confiscated magic weapon was recognized by the relevant person.
He was also surprised that the family would handle the stolen goods strictly to ensure that there would be no marks or other problems.
As for an ordinary first-level magic weapon, the owner is most likely to be a monk in the early or middle stages of Qi refining, and it can actually lead to a foundation-building stage with great strength.
Su Yunxi: "There were many people in the store at that time. Maybe she heard the discussion and learned that the store belonged to our Zhong family, so the woman didn't bother anymore."
Wen Hong added: "The two people entered the town guard mansion, and their specific identities are still being investigated."
Zhong Yan nodded and raised his hand to rub his daughter's cheek. The delicate face was swollen and the fingerprints were clearly visible.
"It's nothing serious. Go back and have a good rest."
The girl burst into tears, feeling ashamed, angry and aggrieved: "Dad, she slapped me in front of so many people! Help me kill her!"
Su Yunxi shouted: "Yue'er!"
Zhong Yan: "Okay, when you open a business, you will inevitably encounter difficult customers. Besides, you are also at fault. You should not have aggravated the conflict with words. Go back first, and dad will stand up for you later."
Zhong Qihuan hurriedly pulled his sister away.
At this time, Qin Ziyue walked over quickly: "Husband, I heard that the woman's name is Chen Lianrong. She is the new Taoist monk guarding Zhang Kuishan. She came from the Huoyun Sect together. The reason for the contradiction seems to be that the first-level magic weapon was originally hers. She gave it to her biological brother in her early years, but her brother died twenty years ago, and the murderer has never been found..."
Zhong Yan pursed her lips and asked, "What's her brother's name?"
Qin Ziyue shook his head and said, "I don't know. Zhang Kuishan asked about the situation in the courtyard and didn't mention his name. It's not convenient for our people to ask."
Chen Lianrong... Zhong Yan murmured and repeated, feeling a little familiar. An idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered a person - Chen Lianping!
When he first arrived in Qingyang, he met his fellow disciple Chen Lianping in Yangquanfang City who had been making things difficult for him. Later, he, Yan Sandao and Li Henian ambushed him.
Qin Ziyue: "I have asked Sister Siyu to send a summons to Huoyun Sect to find out specific information."
Zhong Yan nodded, turned around and took a step forward.
A group of people arrived at the meeting hall of the side hall.
After waiting for a while, Wei Siyu came over. After a brief greeting, he told me the information he asked about.
"Chen Lianrong was Zhang Kuishan's fourth concubine. She gave birth to eight children for Zhang Kuishan, two of whom had spiritual roots. The young man who appeared in Taiyue Pavilion was a true spiritual root, so Chen Lianrong and her son were favored by Zhang Kuishan and came to Qingyang together. …”
"As for Zhang Kuishan, he is a lineage of the sect leader, an elder of the Inner Sect's Baishi Palace, and has three spiritual roots. In recent years, he has reached the foundation building perfection, and his status and power in the sect are not bad..."
After listening, everyone looked at each other and Wen Hong said: "Husband, how should we deal with this matter? Zhang Kuishan won't cause trouble, will he?"
"Looking for trouble? The person was beaten and she took away the magic weapon. Do you want me to hand over the murderer?"
Zhong Yan smiled and didn't care, how many years had passed.
The store sells magical artifacts, many of which are sold by unidentified monks. There is no evidence pointing to the Zhong Mansion, and the other party knows this very well.
What's more, Zhang Kuishan first arrived in Qingyang. In the afternoon, the two parties had a drink at the wine table and established a preliminary friendship. They expected the Zhongfu to cooperate and support in the management of the city. As long as they had some sense, they would not stalemate the relationship over such a trivial matter. .
"Just wait, Zhang Kuishan will come forward to resolve it."
"Let's let this matter go, Yunxi, please comfort Hao Yue'er."
After saying that, Zhong Yan looked around and said, "I emphasize again, keep a low profile from now on and don't cause trouble."
"Yes, husband (master, head of the family)!"
However.
The crowd has not dispersed yet.
Li Yang walked quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Master! Send a message from the town guard to express your concern about Miss Yue's health and express my apology. In addition..."
After a pause, he glanced at Zhong Yan and continued: "Ask if you know the monk who used the magic weapon. I hope we can hand him over."
Zhong Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
You can hear a needle drop in the hall.
"It's a test."
Zhong Yan laughed and said: "Qingyao, back up the gift. Go there in person, explain the reason, and do your best to search. From now on, if you have any requests from the guard house, you all should cooperate well and don't cause trouble for me!"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
An hour later.
In the guarding mansion, Zhang Kuishan led his wives and concubines to send the humble and kind-hearted Yu Qingyao out of the mansion. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This move was really inappropriate, but he couldn't bear the begging of his beautiful concubine and precious son. How could he have so many heirs and only have such a true spiritual root.
The news spread quickly in the city - the arrogant and domineering 'Fierce Ape' could only swallow his anger and bow his head obediently in the face of the behemoth Huoyun Sect.
After learning the result of the treatment, Zhong Jiyue went to her father angrily, crying, "Shame on me," "You don't love me," and so on. She made a fuss and was scolded and punished.
late at night.
After sorting out the battlefield situation in Wei, Zhong Yan walked out of the study, looked around, and disappeared.
Keqing's courtyard.
Song Lingyue came out of the training room and was about to take a hot bath. Suddenly, her heart trembled when she saw the void in front of her move and a figure emerge.
"I've met my boss."
Zhong Yan stared at her, stepped forward, put his hand on the back of her head, and pushed her down to the ground.
"I'm very angry today!"
Guji~Guji~
…
After half a night of fun, Zhong Yan calmed down and laughed at himself. After all these years of smooth sailing, his mood had become worse.
In the past, this matter would not have been taken to heart at all, so why would he feel insulted and get angry.
It was Song Lingyue who caught his attention.
The opponent had just broken into the fourth floor of the foundation building, but when he suddenly pressed that button, the vitality fluctuations in his subconscious counterattack were extremely powerful, comparable to those on the eighth or ninth floor of the foundation building.
"Repair the critical limit..."
Zhong Yan secretly thought, and he is a strong man who can fight beyond the fourth level.
"That's right. We are both core disciples of True Spirit Root and are only a few years younger than Qiu Mingyue. If he is really under Su Yue and has enough resources, his realm will not lag so far behind."
…
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.
Wei Siyu, who had been pregnant for nearly a year, finally gave birth to her family’s third Tianlinggen!
The whole family celebrates.
On the same day, Yuan Ziyi received good news from Qifeng that his second disciple Shang Zhuoqing successfully formed the elixir.
Zhong Yan asked: "How many acupoints form elixirs?"
Yuan Ziyi smiled and said: "I asked, seven hundred and twenty-two."
Zhong Yan nodded, the number of pill-forming acupoints was the key to future practice and strength.
Of the few he knew so far, only Lin Zhengping was at an excellent level.
Zhou Yun: six hundred and fifty-three
Wei Siyu: seven hundred
Shang Zhuoqing: seven hundred and twenty-two
Su Yue: seven hundred and ninety-nine
Lin Zhengping: Eight hundred and twenty
And these are all accumulated and precipitated.
As the resource environment changes, in the future, the younger generation will form alchemy and be eager to break through. It is estimated that most people will open fewer acupuncture points.
