As soon as Yan Song left, Li Jian took a step forward, bowed his hands to the four of them solemnly and said, "Thank you for your help, otherwise, Li will definitely hate this tonight!"
"Brother Li, why are you so polite? To be honest, there are not many people who like you in this valley. You, Brother Li, are one of you. If you are plotted by a villain, of course we have to help." Tang Ping said with a smile after hearing this.
"Yes, Brother Li, you're welcome." Yanxuan also smiled and said to Li Jian.
"Brother Qian said you are a nice person, and you are indeed nice. If they hadn't attacked your eyes with lime, you would have dispatched them all without my help. Hey, Brother Li, I will go to the mountain to barbecue in a few days. You But you must come." Lu Pingchuan was rather rough and said, patting Li Jian on the shoulder.
"sure"
"Wait a minute, what should I do with this needle?" Qian Chao said.
Tang Ping looked at the thin needle in her hand: "This needle is not from the Qin family. This is definitely true. The needle itself doesn't matter. It is just an ordinary silver needle. The key is that the poison on the needle is the most deadly. , only a few aristocratic families can prepare this medicine, and only one of the descendants of one of the aristocratic families is in this valley, and it was probably that person who gave this needle to Qin Suijie."
Everyone else was listening and said nothing, but Qian Chao thought for a moment and immediately thought of something, and hesitantly said to Tang Ping: "You once..."
Tang Ping sighed softly, sat down on the chair, looked at Qian Chao and said, "You guessed it right, when I was in the Tang family, I was almost assassinated with this kind of needle, and the person who assassinated me was also a member of my clan. He is still an elder of mine."
"What!" Except for Qian Chao, the other three people were shocked.
"Well, it's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen within a practicing family. To outsiders, a family may appear to be monolithic on the surface, but in fact the internal battles are extremely fierce. There are things like chickens, dogs, thieves, frame-ups, and even stabbings in the back. No, as long as we don't show it to the public and are not discovered, we will still be harmonious and harmonious close relatives.
Families that are able to fight against brothers can generally become larger families, such as the Tang family. I was really lucky. That day I got sick, but my sixth grandfather woke me up later. After I woke up, I felt that I must have been tricked. After I asked, my sixth grandfather told me It's the truth, but we are a family after all, and my sixth grandfather did not kill anyone. It was also from that time that I was extremely reluctant to stay in the Tang family. Grandpa Six also felt that the Tang family could not tolerate me, so he took me to the Five Spirits Sect. "
Qian Chao was well aware of the overt and covert struggles within the family, and Yanxuan felt the same way. However, he didn't expect that Tang Ping would encounter such danger. He couldn't help but sigh, and walked over to gently hold Tang Ping's shoulders. .
Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan didn't have such dirty things in their families, so they couldn't help but shake their heads after hearing this.
"It was also because of that time that I saw the Dinghai Needle. The poisonous medicine on it is said to be difficult to refine. There are only a few companies in the cultivation world that can prepare that kind of poisonous medicine, and they keep it very secret. Then there is the Dinghai Needle, which is from an ordinary family. It is not used. It is only used when plotting against the descendants and grandchildren of opponents with spiritual roots in internal battles of some big families. It is a taboo in itself. Even if you have it on hand, you must keep it a secret. Otherwise, how could I know about it at such a young age? Such a harmful thing."
After a pause, Tang Ping continued: "I am telling you about this matter today because I want to remind you that if this is the case in aristocratic families, it may not be as good inside the sect in the future, and outside the sect. The dangers in the cultivation world are even more conceivable. Let’s ignore the intention to harm others, but the awareness of guarding against others is indispensable. In the future, no matter what, we must have a more careful mind."
After listening, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
"Who has this kind of needle?" Qian Chao asked again. A question popped up in his mind. He immediately changed his mind and asked, "No, I mean, does the Qin family have something good that allows him to get this Dinghai needle?" "
"It's really boring to talk to you sometimes. Although it saves energy to talk to you, I can't find the energy to talk to you at all!" Tang Ping said, "Your guess is right or wrong. You tell me first. You guessed it. Who gave this needle to Qin Suijie?"
"I told you that a woman secretly met and talked to Qin Suijie that night, but I don't know who it was, but I guess it was the woman who gave the needle to Qin Suijie, right?"
Qian Chao's words made Li Jian and Yan Xuan confused and confused, but Lu Pingchuan didn't care, he was not interested in these at all.
"Did you notice that the Fourth Young Master of Wei was accompanied by two women when he came in and out recently?" Tang Ping said.
This Fourth Young Master of Wei was the young man who spoke harshly to Qian Chao when he first entered the bronze carriage.
Qian Chao thought about it carefully, and sure enough, the Fourth Young Master Wei was always accompanied by two girls recently. They went to the Chunxiang Hall together, had meals together, and then left together. Well, Qian Chao still remembered that the two girls were graceful and beautiful. Extremely gorgeous. However, after entering this valley, the Fourth Young Master of Wei never caused trouble to Qian Chao, so Qian Chao did not pay much attention to the Fourth Young Master of Wei.
"The fourth young master of Wei is named Wei Liao. The two women who often hang out with him are named Wu. They are from the Wu family. The Wu family is a small aristocratic family. As I said just now, there are not many families that can prepare the poisonous medicine on the silver needle. Wu But the family is one of them. Now in Youming Valley, no children from other families who know how to prepare rotten medicine are here. Only the two sisters from the Wu family are here, so that night you heard the woman talking to Qin Suijie. It should be one of those two sisters." Tang Ping sighed and continued, "If this is true, we are not the only ones who are plotting against Qin Suiji. Humph, he is such a careless guy. !”
"Oh, what do you say?" Qian Chao asked.
"Then Wei Liao and Qin Suijie are half-brothers."
Several people were in a daze after hearing this, especially Qian Chao. The behavior of Qin and Wei in the bronze carriage really did not indicate that there was such a relationship between them.
Tang Ping sighed again.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Wei is quite pitiful. Okay, I'll explain it in detail, but in the future, we still can't tell others in front of others. After all, their privacy is involved.
It is said that there was a lot of commotion at the time. The two families should have kept it hidden from the outside world. Later, the commotion became a little bigger, so many people knew about it.
Wei Liao was Sui's mother's surname. It was said that his mother had been secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart before she left the government, but that person was a mortal who had no spiritual roots and could not practice cultivation. But at that time, Miss Wei didn't care so much. She frequently communicated with that man in private behind her family's back, and even jumped into a thunder pond, which later caused a dark knot in the baby's pregnancy. After the child was born, he was now the Fourth Young Master Wei Liao and Wei.
Of course, the elders in charge of the Wei family were furious and wanted to punish them. Fortunately, the Wei family discovered that the baby turned out to be a spiritual being, and they were able to save their lives.
The Wei family was not a big family, and they intended to make friends with the Qin family and try to please the Qin family. Later, for some reason, a monk from the Qin family fell in love with Wei Liao's mother and forced the Wei family to marry Miss Wei who had just given birth. Make yourself a Taoist monk who practices dual cultivation. I don’t know what methods the Qin family and the Wei family used to coerce and induce. In short, Wei Liao’s mother was married, and more than a year later, she gave birth to another child, Qin Suijie.
It's a pity that Mr. Wei's father committed suicide after his wife was forced to remarry, and Miss Wei who was forced to remarry soon died in depression.
In fact, it was not that Qin Suijie hated Wei Liao, but that Wei Liao hated Qin Suijie extremely. He blamed the Qin family for the scornful treatment he had received in the Wei family over the years and the death of his parents, especially the same mother. His father's brother, he wanted to kill him quickly. Therefore, even if Qin Suijie did not hate Wei Liao, he would try his best to get rid of Wei Liao to avoid suffering from him in the future, because Wei Liao would definitely not let him go. "
Qian Chao nodded and said, "That makes sense. No wonder it turned out to be so tortuous." Then he continued to ask Tang Ping, "What can Qin Suijie give her to make them willing to do such a thing for him?" "
"Although the Qin family is just an aristocratic family, the Qin family is well-known in the spiritual world because they are a family that is good at refining elixirs. Although the elixirs they refine cannot be compared with Qixia Mountain of Wuling Sect, However, most of the elixirs in Qixia Mountain are supplied to the disciples of the sect, and very few go outside the sect. Therefore, many people from small aristocratic families or casual cultivators in the spiritual world try to purchase elixirs from the Qin family for their own consumption. .
The Qin family has an elixir called Zhuang Ling Dan, which is specially taken for those of us who are still in the body refining stage. It is said that just one pill can help people with poor spiritual abilities cultivate the Qi Sea and end the body refining. Refining Qi and becoming a monk. "
Qian Chao and others were stunned when they heard this, especially Qian Chao. His spiritual root qualifications were the worst. Hearing this, his chest couldn't help but beat a few times. He secretly thought that there was such a pill. If If I had one in the first place, why would I have to go through so much trouble to find the spiritual vein?
"Don't think too much, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although this kind of elixir is magical, the price paid by the user is not small. That is, after taking it, it will not be very good for future practice, and the higher the cultivation level, the better. The more difficult it becomes to practice, seeing your eyes shining, don’t you think you want to go to Mr. Qin and ask for a few pills to try?”
When Tang Ping said this, Qian Chao smiled. He had finally found the place of spiritual veins in the valley, and his cultivation was going well now, so he would not have any plans for Zhuang Ling Dan.
"Does Qin Suijie carry this Strengthening Pill with him?"
"I guess so. I heard that in the Qin family, as long as the children with spiritual roots can definitely survive the body refining, even if they take Zhuang Ling Dan, even if there are a few more Qi refining monks in the family, they will be from their own family. Besides, no one said that monks who have entered the Qi refining stage after taking Zhuang Ling Dan cannot become high-level monks, it is just more difficult."
"So it turns out that in this valley, if the Zhuangling Pill is taken out, it is indeed a good thing that will make those disciples who know the efficacy of the pill jealous."
So far, only the two of them understand the conversation, and the other three are somewhat confused. Qian Chao then told everyone about what he overheard Qin Suijie talking to others after practicing. .
However, there were still some things he wanted to ask Tang Ping in detail.
"What kind of family is the Wu family from which the Wu sisters come? Was it arranged by Qin Suijie that the two of them and Wei Liao were together from the beginning? Or did Qin Suijie force the Wu sisters to help him when he saw them together? ?”
"You ask so many questions. How do I know that? I'm not watching them every day. As for the Wu family, well, let's put it this way, let alone the two of them coming to Wei Liao, even if they come to you, you can't I can’t resist it.”
"What do you say?" Qian Chao asked curiously.
Tang Ping seemed a little hard to speak, but after a slight hesitation, she said, "The Wu family is a rather strange family in the world of spiritual practice. The family is not big, but this family is different from other families. In the Wu family, women are superior to men, and the boss in the family is All of them are women. In addition to the poisonous medicine that they can prepare to make sea needles, they can also prepare many other poisons, intoxicants, etc. Some monks with ulterior motives like their medicine very much. In addition, the women of the Wu family themselves I have been practicing the art of inner flattery and the method of collecting and guiding since I was a child..." As she said this, Tang Ping's voice became smaller and smaller. After all, she was just a girl, and she would always blush when talking about this matter.
After hearing this, Qian Chao immediately understood that among the few people, he was the one who read the most. He had basically read all the books that should be read and those that should not be read.
Yanxuan had learned medical skills from his mother since he was a child, so he naturally understood what Tang Ping meant at the end, and couldn't help but blush after hearing it.
Li Jian was severely disciplined by his grandfather since he was a child, but he had also seen several copies in his uncle Li Tiankai's study that made him blush and eye-opener, so he knew what Tang Ping meant, and naturally he was very interested. stunned.
Lu Pingchuan was the only one who couldn't understand, but he didn't care. He knew that his brain was not very easy to use, so he just listened.
Qian Chao still had doubts about something. He asked: "Since Wei Liao also comes from a spiritual family, he should also know the things you know. Why are you still with the two sisters from the Wu family?"
After hearing this, Tang Ping pondered for a moment and said: "I can't say this well, but in this world of cultivation, in order to cope with the pressure of the big family, the weaker aristocratic families often have conflicts with the neighboring aristocratic families who are not as strong. Covenant relationship. As far as I know, this is the case between the Wei family and the Wu family.
The Wei family and the Wu family have a deeper connection. A male monk from the Wei family became a Taoist couple with a female monk from the Wu family. However, since then, they have lived in the Wu family for a long time and become a member of the Wu family. run. Some of the male monks of the Wu family also became Taoist companions with the Wei family woman. In fact, they married into the Wei family.
The two families rely on this relationship to be very close.
Wei Liao knew the cause of his parents' death from the time he was sensible, and he hated the Wei family from then on. After the people in charge of the Wei family noticed Wei Liao's intentions, they felt that it would not be a blessing to the Wei family if this child achieved success in practice in the future, so he Send Wei Liao to Wuling Sect. In fact, even if he is not sent to the Wuling Sect, he will probably be ordered to marry a woman from the Wu family and leave the Wei family in the future.
The reason why the Wu sisters came to the Wuling Sect was similar to that of other children from aristocratic families who came here. Their qualifications were mediocre at best. The Wu family felt that these two sisters would not be of much use in the family in the future, so they kicked them out and ordered them Come to the Five Spirits Sect.
It is estimated that the three of them were in roughly the same situation in their respective families, so they sympathized with each other. Because of their family relationship, they felt that they were closer to each other than other children, so they often stayed together.
Probably this is the reason. "
After hearing this, Qian Chao generally agreed with Tang Ping's statement, but another thought emerged in his mind. Tang Ping was also a young man, but he had such detailed knowledge of the private secrets of this family of practitioners. It was unbelievable. Surprise. However, a vague guess slowly took shape, but he couldn't say it now. After all, his guess was related to Tang Ping's personal matters. If Tang Ping didn't say it, it would be difficult for him to mention it.
Tang Ping was also a very smart person. When she saw Qian Chao's face was deep in thought and his eyes were looking at her, he knew that Qian Chao had probably guessed something. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, so she secretly glared at Qian Chao.
When Qian Chao saw this, he said: "No wonder, since their qualifications are mediocre, the Wu sisters will definitely covet the Zhuangling Pill, so Qin Suiji can use them to deal with Wei Liao. The two Wu sisters This method can be used by bad people to practice, but it will not harm people's lives, but it will prevent Wei Liao from entering the inner gate, or even if he can enter the inner gate, his practice is inferior, and naturally he will no longer be a threat to Qin Suijie. "
"I can't believe that there are such dirty and dirty things in Youming Valley!" Li Jian sighed.
"What do you mean?" Lu Pingchuan finally couldn't help asking.
"Brother Lu!" Tang Ping said angrily. She naturally knew that Lu Pingchuan meant nothing and he just didn't understand. But if she really explained to him in detail how the Wu sisters harmed people, she would be extremely shameless. Nothing can be done.
"Uh, Brother Lu, I'll explain it to you slowly later." Qian Chao hurriedly stopped the still ignorant Lu Pingchuan.
"Let me ask you something, how do you remove the poison from this needle?" Qian Chao asked Tang Ping again, "Can I wipe it off with a cloth?"
"What do you want to do?" Tang Ping stared at Qian Chao and asked.
"What else are we going to do! Have we been letting that Qin Suijie plot against us? I just met him and saw that although his plot failed, he still didn't panic. He seemed to have a backup plan. They say that it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but There is no principle of guarding against a thief for a thousand days, so even if we can't let him give up, we still have to make him suffer some hardships."
"Don't kill anyone. I'm not talking about the boy named Qin!" Tang Ping said.
"Don't worry, I will go and talk to him. Even if it is Qin, his life will not be in danger. I don't want blood on my hands yet." Qian Chao said.
"Okay, it's actually easy. You just need to roast the needles on the fire for a few times and then wipe them clean with a cloth. As long as the rotten medicine doesn't enter the person's belly and no flesh and blood is visible, you'll be fine." Tang Ping explain.
Qian Chao nodded after hearing this, then turned to Li Jian, Yan Xuan, and Lu Pingchuan, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Li, Sister Yan, we are being plotted against by others, and today you have seen their methods. , It doesn’t have to be like this, just rely on the skills of Brother Lu and Brother Li to fight directly, but I think it is always inferior to fight with others like that, maybe it will be detrimental to us if we miss. Since that Mr. Qin He likes to scheming behind his back but always wants to watch the fun on his own, so how about we learn how to scheming back and let him change this problem in the future?"
Yanxuan listened silently, looked at Tang Ping, and felt a little relieved when Tang Ping nodded to her.
Li Jian probably understood what Qian Chao was going to do. According to his temperament, he originally wanted to come to teach Mr. Qin a lesson, but after hearing what Qian Chao said, he nodded and said to Qian Chao: "I'll go with you." .”
"No, I can go by myself. It's not good if there are too many people."
Hearing what Qian Chao said, Li Jian nodded, but he said to Tang Ping, "Miss Tang, there is one thing I don't quite understand."
"Brother Li, tell me." Tang Ping replied.
"Tonight they and we caused such a huge battle. Dozens of people were fighting here. Why didn't any of the senior brothers from the sect who were in charge of the affairs in the valley come to take care of it?"
"Well, Brother Li, there are too many bad boys bullying people in the valley. Sister Yan and I have seen it many times. No one will care about it. In the future, when entering the inner sect, the sect has a rule that does not allow private fights. In As long as no one is killed in this valley, the senior brothers sent by the sect will be too lazy to take care of it. If they have the time, it would be better to meditate and practice on their own."
Li Jian shook his head and sighed: "That's so!"
"Okay, since things are like this and it's late at night, shouldn't we go back and rest?" Tang Ping said.
"Well, that's right. If you're sleepy, go back to sleep!" Upon hearing this, Lu Pingchuan immediately agreed.
On the way back, Lu Pingchuan thought about what happened just now and asked Qian Chao: "Brother Qian, what happened to the family named Wu? Tell me."
Upon hearing this, not only Qian Chao was embarrassed, but the two daughters Tang Ping and Yan Xuan who were walking together were also embarrassed. They quickened their pace and left Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan behind as if they were running away.
After Qian Chao returned to his room, he took off the gauze cover of the gauze lamp in the room, and burned the silver needle repeatedly on the candle flame. The silver needle was burnt brightly, and a faint unpleasant smell came out. After the unpleasant smell disappeared, he found another piece of cloth and wiped the silver needle several times before giving up.
