There are ten people in the hall, two masters each, Huang Long and Tianmang.
"Get out, who asked you to come in?" Hua Changting shouted.
"Xue is worried that someone will be injured..."
The old man next to Hua Changting had a livid complexion and waved his hand impatiently, signaling Xue Tong to get out.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xue. The Huanglong Sect has a bottom line. It's not like some people who throw things and want to attack others."
Coulson, the elder of Huanglong Sect, said something in his words.
"Just don't do anything. Let's talk slowly." Xue Tong spoke politely and did not want to offend either party. His original intention in coming to Huanchen was to establish a stronghold, not to be fearful and to be remembered and seek revenge.
"We can't make a name for ourselves even if we talk about it. Why don't we let fellow Taoist Xue listen and give us some advice?"
Xu Zhihuan, the head of the law enforcement hall next to Coulson, suddenly said.
"The so-called authorities are obsessed with it. Elder Liao and Hall Master Hua don't object to it."
"Humph!" Elder Liao looked displeased, but did not stop him.
"Xue probably can't help," Xue Tong pretended to decline.
Xu Zhihuan ignored it and told the focus of the argument.
"Three years ago, two people from the Huanglong Sect died at the junction of Ren and Dizhou. There was also the corpse of Deacon Tianmang at the scene."
"The whereabouts of Li Mu, the deputy leader of Tianmang, are unknown. We suspect that the people from the Huanglong Sect were killed by Li Mu and the deacon. The deacon died in the fight," Xu Zhihuan said.
"Nonsense! Deputy Hall Master Li has nothing to do with the Huanglong Sect. He has not done anything with anyone for many years. How could he kill people from the Huanglong Sect out of nowhere!"
"The Tianmang Sect feels that Li Mu has also been killed, and the murderer deliberately left only one corpse to attract people's imagination, in order to blame the sect!" Hua Changting slammed the table and angrily yelled.
"The fall of the fallen, the disappearance of the missing, many explanations are reasonable. There will be no result in arguing. It is better to investigate in detail!" Xue Tong said.
"Can't find out!"
"The town closest to the scene is called Yanxi, which borders Dizhou. The monks there are a mixed bag, and Dizhou is even more desolate, and the conditions of the recluses are unknown."
"The people from our sect have investigated, but not only have there been no results, the whole process has been full of dangers, and they may fall into a desperate situation at any time."
"Now there are a few fewer witnesses," Xu Zhihuan said.
"Why are the people from the Huanglong Sect going to Yanxi?" Xue Tong asked.
"There are black goods of unknown origin, and the legendary magic weapon of the spiritual object shop has appeared." Xu Zhihuan said.
"What are you talking about? The dojo can help solve the problem," Liao Sitong, the elder of Tianmang, said impatiently.
"It is better to follow Elder Liao's idea and organize a joint investigation. It seems that Li Mu and Tian Dong were jointly killed!" Hua Changting said.
"It's useless to make a big noise!" Coulson shook his head.
"Xue is an outsider. It's convenient to go to Yanxi. If you don't mind, let me give it a try."
Xue Tong rolled his eyes and recommended himself.
"Huh huh" Liao Sitong sneered.
"Yanxi is in great chaos. Later Grandmasters Tian Dong and Li Mu brought their followers, Taoist Master alone..." Xu Zhihuan said, warning Xue Tong not to overestimate his capabilities.
"Tian and Li are in Daxuanmen and attract everyone's attention. If Xue doesn't attract people's attention, try it secretly and maybe you can succeed."
"It can't be done in one year. It's not too late for you to think of a solution." Xue Tong said.
A dead horse is a living doctor. Continuing negotiations is unlikely to yield results. Xue Tong volunteered. Why not try?
The two clans reluctantly agreed.
Coulson reminded that he would not be held responsible if something went wrong, and he would be rewarded for his success.
…
After Xue Tong finished instructing Xiao Yuer, he left alone.
The Xuanling Dojo was safe, and Xue Tong warned him to just practice.
Yanxi Town is located in the border area between Ren and Di Prefectures.
The border between the two states is five thousand miles away, and Xuanmen is not as powerful as it. Counting the desolate and dangerous Dizhou, this area can be said to be the most terrifying area in the southwest of Huanchen.
The town is not big, but it is a distribution center for Dizhou resources and illegal goods from Southwest China. Shameful activities happen every day.
The monks in Yanxi were of a high level. In the inconspicuous teahouse at the entrance of the town, there were two early master warriors sitting on the street.
Xue Tong bought several master beast corpses at the spiritual goods shop.
"It's better. I heard that there are many spiritual things in Yanxi. A few years ago, there were even earth-level magic weapons." Xue Tong collected the beast corpses and asked.
"It's true, but I don't know the details. If the Taoist priest wants a better beast carcass, please go to another place to have a look." The shopkeeper said.
Xue Tongjin's store seems to be the largest one.
"I want to meet the owner of the shop!" Xue Tong said.
The shopkeeper's expression immediately became alert, "My boss is not in the shop, and I won't see any customers."
"Unless there is something special," Xue Tong handed over the prepared storage bag.
The bag contains Wu Yunzong's complete set of exercises and martial arts from shallow to deep, together with the ancestor's seven-star orb, corresponding to them.
Wu Yun was a major sect of Xin Yuan Haochang Kingdom. He was destroyed by Xue Tong because of the harm he caused to Fan Ruhua. His ancestor Ji Xiao became a great master, and the Seven-Star Orb was one of his housekeeping magic weapons.
Wu Yunzong's martial arts skills are not inferior to those of Renzhou sects such as Huanglong and Tianmang.
"Oh, it's rare to have a complete set. Fellow Taoist, I want to see my boss to negotiate the price. Even an old man can negotiate." The shopkeeper rummaged through it and said.
"It's convenient to have an interview with the owner, so that you don't have to pass words around and explain things unclearly. If your owner is willing to meet, Xue has other treasures of comparable quality for sale."
Xue Tong has a lot of treasures, and any one of them is considered top-notch in Yanxi.
It was difficult for the shopkeeper to refuse Xue Tong's condition. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Guest guest, sit down on the second floor while I wait for my business."
…
Guests like Xue Tong are extremely rare.
Usually in a noisy place, it is too late to sell valuable goods and leave. It is impossible for people to know whereabouts, and it is impossible to trade in a strange place. However, Xue Tong insisted on meeting his employer and was willing to leave the store and go anywhere.
In the evening, two carriages drove out of the store.
The shopkeeper and Xue Tong left Yanxi Town one after another and disappeared into the increasingly thickening mist.
Yanxi is located in a mountainous area with deep forests and lush trees. The carriage made many twists and turns. After driving for about half an hour, it drove into an unmarked villa.
The villa has exquisite architecture and well-organized layout.
The carriage entered the small courtyard.
The moment Xue Tong got out of the car, he summoned the bone puppet.
The Bone Puppet has never stopped soaking its body with poison, and its growth is the most stable among the four pets.
The shopkeeper was not surprised and asked Xue Tong to sit down for a moment.
Shao Qing, there were footsteps outside the courtyard, and two women came!
One master and one servant.
The heroine is in the middle of Grand Master, in her forties, with a peach-faced face that is whiter than snow, a dark skirt and blouse that cannot hide her plump figure, a gauze covering her face, and a faint sadness between her brows.
The servant is born at the peak of his age, has simple makeup, a solemn gait, and is slightly older than his master.
"Which song is this singing?" Xue Tong wondered.
The beautiful woman straightened her dress and said seriously: "My little girl, Chen Shu, her husband died young. She works hard to control the business and rarely meets customers."
"Oh, if I had known better, I wouldn't have forced the shopkeeper."
Xue Tong didn't expect that his insistence on Chen Shu seemed to be forcing others to do something difficult.
"Yingrong has been in the house since she was a child. Chen has already regarded her as one of her own. If the guest feels that it is inconvenient to say something, let her avoid it."
"Where, where, no need." Xue Tong said hurriedly.
Chen Shu asked for Xue Tong's pouch and looked through it for a while, "Jiuqiao Village offers 25 million, and the customer must swear not to sell it to others."
"Thirty million minimum!"
Xue Tong's bargaining was not all about spiritual stones.
"The guest's requirements are actually not high. These things are indeed worth 30 million, but our current situation is not good and we don't want to risk a large sum of spiritual stones."
"Chen is not interested in business"
Chen Shen was extremely decadent.
"oh"
Chen Shu's attitude surprised Xue Tong.
The original bargaining, leaving a gap and giving up benefits in exchange for information can no longer be said.
Chen Shen suddenly frowned and gritted his teeth and said: "Not to mention 30 million, I am willing to give you 40 million. I just ask the Taoist priest to help the little girl do something."
"What?" Xue Tong was confused.
"This little girl has been repeatedly treated with scornful words by evil people. She has resisted leaving Yanxi for various reasons. She is waiting for a skilled and bold person like Taoist Master Xue."
"The Taoist priest came to the villa alone, and the courage was only seen by a young girl. When the shopkeeper informed him, Chen felt that the opportunity had come."
"Behind the amazing courage, there must be amazing cultivation. Chen's years of forbearance may be rewarded in one day!"
"Kill this beast Zuomakui for me!"
Chen Shu almost cried in a hissing voice.
Zheng Yingrong's eyes were red and she took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.
"No way, Xue just wants to trade black goods and get some information by the way. He has no intention of getting involved in other things." Xue Tong said in shock.
"If I buy your goods for 40 million, all of Zuo Makui's property will be yours. If the Taoist Master wants to know anything, you can ask now." Chen Shen's sad and determined expression was moving.
"Xue wants to know about the prefecture-level magic weapon from three years ago and the disappearance of Tianmang Sect Li Mu."
The information Xue Tong inquired about was not trivial. Chen Shen wiped his tears and seemed to calm down a lot.
"You first promise to meet Zuo Makui in five days, and Chen will tell you everything you know."
The moment Xue Tong saw Chen Shu, he silently observed that neither she nor Zheng Yingrong, who had a lower level of cultivation, saw anything unusual.
Xue Tong asked about the late Grandmaster Zuo Makui, and they met at Fenglin Valley sixty miles away, and he immediately agreed.
"Dizhou people were the first to talk about the prefecture-level magic weapon. It was shown in Guangling Store. From then on, it spread. Tianlong Sect and Huanglong Sect wanted to buy it one after another, which eventually led to a life-threatening lawsuit."
"The Guangling Store was almost demolished in two cases. Because it involved human lives, business dropped drastically and it closed down last year."
"The murderer is probably from Dizhou!" Chen Shu said.
"Who are the people who come to Dizhou often?"
"Dizhou is remote and wild, with no serious sects and random people hanging around there. It's not unusual for the seductive people to do whatever they want."
"Is there anyone else at Guangling Store?"
"The owner Zeng Licheng has left Yanxi, and the shopkeeper left earlier."
“Where have they all gone?”
"Who knows? From what Chen said, there is no trace of this matter. When Zeng Licheng was still there, he went to Dizhou with the Huanglong Sect, but ended up hastily and fled back in fear."
"It's better to spend more time thinking about how to meet Zuo Makui." Chen Shen said.
"In five days, let the shopkeeper pick you up early in the morning!"
"Xue only agreed to see him and didn't say that he would help you." Xue Tong said lightly.
…
Xue Tong stayed at the Inn for five days. When he and the shopkeeper arrived at the villa, he suddenly jumped out of the carriage and said, "Let Zuo Ma Kui come here, we are not going to Maple Grove Valley!"
Chen Shen's expression changed slightly, "Zuoma Kui is hosting a banquet in Fenglin Valley. It's not appropriate for him to come here."
"There's nothing wrong with him. Since he covets you, if you take the initiative to ask him out, how can he not come?"
"It's only sixty miles away. After the conversation, there's still time to go back and serve drinks." Xue Tong said.
"I'll tell Zuo Makui and Yingrong, please bring someone to invite him in person. Just tell him that Chen, an old friend, is here and you want to talk to him."
Xue Tong suddenly changed places, so he was worried about Chen Shu and Zuo Makui's conspiracy. He always felt that something was fishy, which was really strange.
Xue Tong was waiting quietly in the living room. At half an hour, there was the sound of horse hooves at the village gate, and two cars drove in.
"The left Ma Kui in the middle"
"Um!"
Xue Tong rushed out and attacked on the spot.
"Zuo Makui, you have evil intentions, give me a slap!"
Something happened suddenly, and Zuo Makui's expression changed drastically.
A big mouth opened in the void above his head, and the hammer shadow like a golden mountain crashed down with a rumble.
It was not difficult for Zuo Makui to escape, but his subordinates would be smashed into pulp immediately. Three knives flew out of his bracelet and he was suddenly twisted!
"call!"
A black dragon jumped up from the ground, flew straight into the sky, and hit the shadow of the Fallen Hammer head on.
The Fallen Hammer paused for a moment, and Xue Tong spat out the formula and increased his force.
The golden hammer shadow suddenly grew bigger!
"Bang!"
The huge head of the black dragon exploded with a roar, and the dragon's body collapsed into several pieces.
Zuo Makui's throat was sweet, and he spurted out a large mouthful of black blood, "Sir... have mercy on me, please listen to what I have to say!"
"Those who act like human beings before others and act like ghosts behind others, go to death!"
Chen Shen jumped out of the diagonal stab, raised his hand and struck out with a sword.
The sword light pointed directly at Zuo Makui's heart and was about to pass through his chest. Except for Xue Tong and Chen Shu, everyone present was so horrified that they almost dropped their eyes!
