Qian Chao went to the Chengqi Hall in the morning and refined several things to be used. He was worried that Tang Ping would not be able to find him if he came over. After the refining was completed, he hurried back to his residence. At this time, Qian Chao felt that if Tang Ping came over, he would not be able to find him. It would be great to have a residence with a fire eye, so that when refining weapons, you can stay in the residence without having to come to the Chengqi Hall. Senior Brother Cheng Qiantang's residence has a fire eye, which makes Qian Chao very envious. It is said that Senior Brother Cheng will become a disciple soon. If he becomes a disciple, he will definitely move to live next to his master's cave. In this way, he may be able to get that residence from Senior Brother Cheng.
Shortly after noon, Tang Ping came.
"Boy Qian, there is news."
Tang Ping said as soon as she entered Qian Chao's room.
Qian Chao asked quickly: "Oh, what's the news?"
Tang Ping said: "In the past two days, my senior brother Xu did not find anything unusual near Shen Weijie's residence, but today Shen Weijie went to Jingshiyuan according to what was written on the piece of paper you gave him. After receiving the assignment, soon after he left, Senior Brother Xu found someone from the Jingshiyuan asking what the assignment was for Shen Wei."
"Is it Li Lihua who went to inquire about it?"
"No, it's a man named An Shiqi, from Qixia Mountain, with advanced Qi refining skills."
"Oh?" Qian Chao was stunned. He thought it was Li Lihua who went to inquire, but he didn't expect that it was a newly emerged high-level disciple who actually went to inquire about Shen Weijie's whereabouts. "So, this Amshi Qi It’s time to introduce Li Lihua to that mysterious senior brother.”
"Well, he should be the middleman you mentioned."
"Hmph, this Jingshiyuan is really a leaky wall. Did it just leak out other people's whereabouts so casually?"
"Of course it cost me spiritual stones. It seems that you were right about not going to the Jingshiyuan before going to the errand."
"Now I think that Li Lihua might be in danger. If Amshiqi didn't get involved, he would still be fine and quietly kill Shen Weize, and the matter would be over. Now, it should be him and What happened between Shen Weiwei was discovered by Amuro Qi, and Li Lihua told Li Lihua after questioning. Then Amuro Qi also wanted to kill Shen Weiwei. If we didn't intervene, it's very likely that they would be there. After killing Shen Wei outside, we need to get rid of Li Lihua as well. After all, those people are acting secretly, and no one likes a big mouth with a loose mouth. Sooner or later, it will be a disaster for such a person to stay."
"Okay! Mr. Qian, I didn't expect you to be enlightened."
Then Qian Chao remembered what he had thought of yesterday, and said seriously to Tang Ping:
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I only thought of it after I came back from Brother Li that day. At that time, you said that the man cherished his wings and would probably borrow a knife to kill someone, and it was probably borrowing Han Tian's knife. It is indeed very possible to deal with us, but even if few people talk about the matter between Han Tian and us, at least Senior Sister Luo Ying and the others know about it. If something happens to us, Han Tian will be the most suspect. , which means that Han Tian is considered a scapegoat regardless of whether he did it or not, but Qin Suijie happened to know about it and was so frightened that he came to you to clear up the relationship. Who was that person doing this to show? "
Tang Ping became confused:
"You mean... Han Tian? That person did it for Han Tian?"
"It's possible. It's possible that that person forced Han Tian to deal with us, and Han Tian was probably not willing to be used. He was doing something secretly to alert that person, so he used Qin Suijie to divert Han Tian. eyes."
Tang Ping nodded. Qian Chao's words made sense. After all, what Han Tian wanted was just Ning Han.
Qian Chao added: "I guess something is going to happen to the Wen family."
Tang Ping said: "Then it's Han Tian's turn to deal with us."
"If something happens to the Wen family, then that person should be the one to take action, not Han Tian. However, in exchange, Han Tian should take action against us. However, I always feel that Han Tian will not be willing to sacrifice his life for that person. Maybe Han Tian will do something unexpected. Also, I can't figure it out. If the above conjectures are true, that person can really kill people in a big family like the Wen family, and has such strength, then he Why don't you just take action while we're out, but you have to let Han Tian deal with us?"
"To kill people in the Wen family, you must not use Qi Refining monks. Such people can work in outside aristocratic families, but not here. Where disciples from outside the sect are doing errands, even if someone from outside can sneak in, , are all Qi refining practitioners. Our sect has deployed a lot of manpower in the towns outside the sect. Passing through these towns is equivalent to setting up a big sieve, carefully screening people who want to come in. It is almost impossible for foreign monks above the foundation level to sneak in. That person will not let his people take this risk. Only some Qi-refining casual cultivators can sneak in. After all, they are on errands with the sect. There is not much difference between the disciples. As long as you put some effort, you can always get in. Well, one more thing is, Mr. Qian, if that person can really kill people in the Wen family, why can't he also kill people in the Han family? One Han family and one Ning Han , these two have firmly grasped Han Tian, and even if Han Tian is unwilling, he will take action against us when it is time to do so."
"That's it, well, but you can't say it for sure. Who knows what will happen later. Forget it, this is all for later. Since Shen Wei has received the mission, we have to go out early tomorrow morning. Yes, you have to prepare early."
"It's best if we can go earlier tomorrow. Shen Wei always leaves after Yin hour, so that he won't run into trouble when he leaves the sect. Mr. Qian, I don't worry about anything else, I'm just worried about Brother Lu. , if he oversleeps, it will be delayed, otherwise, you can let him stay at your place today, and you can wake him up in the morning."
"Okay, then I will inform Brother Li and bring Brother Lu to my place. Sister Yan will leave it to you."
"Um!"
…
It was almost midnight, when Lu Pingchuan was sleeping soundly, someone pushed his shoulders and shook him, saying while shaking:
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu."
Lu Pingchuan opened his sleepy eyes, and when he saw Qian Chao standing in front of him, he remembered that he slept at Brother Qian's place last night.
"What, Brother Qian, are we going out right now?"
"Yes, Brother Li has arrived. It's time for us to meet Tang Ping and Sister Yan."
After stretching a lot and yawning again, Lu Pingchuan became energetic and his eyes sparkled. He knew what he was going out for this time, fight! That was his favorite thing.
"Walk!"
Li Jian was standing in the courtyard. When he saw the two of them coming out, he nodded and said:
"Let's go."
According to the route designed by Qian Chao for Shen Wei, the way out of the sect was between Jiuxuan and Houtu Temple. When the three of them arrived at the agreed place, Tang Ping and Yanxuan were already waiting there.
Because he arrived a little late, Qian Chao asked, "How is it going? Has Shen Wei passed?"
Tang Ping said: "Not yet, it should be soon."
Lu Pingchuan said: "Then should we follow that boy Shen all the way or should we wait until we see the boy named Li and fight him?"
Qian Chao said: "Among the spiritual herbs I designed for Shen Weilie to go out to pick, there are several types that are more abundant in a place called Yunxing Mountain, and it is relatively quiet there. Since those people know that Shen If we have to go out to do some errands, we will probably hide there in advance, so we can just follow Shen Wei all the way, and we will show up again when those people come out to take action."
Tang Ping said: "I have told Senior Brother Xu and Shen Weilao in advance that he does not need to be afraid, let alone let others see the flaws. We will definitely follow him and nothing will happen to him."
Just as he was talking, Yanxuan gently pulled Tang Ping's sleeve and whispered: "Is that Shen Wei?"
Several people looked over, and a figure appeared in the still dark early morning, rushing towards Zongwai.
Li Jian looked at that figure, recognized it, and said, "Now that he's here, we don't have to follow him too closely, as it's easy to expose his trap."
When the sinking figure was about to disappear in the distance, Li Jian said: "Let's go!"
The five people followed silently.
…
In fact, long before Tang Ping quietly left her residence and went to Qixia Mountain to find Yanxuan at night, she had just left when the door of Guhuo Fairy Cave opened, and in the light that came out, Tang Ping's senior sister Ruoyuan walked out from inside, looked at the vaguely discernible back of the junior sister in the air, and nodded towards the door.
Then Fairy Guhuo also walked out.
"Go ahead," Fairy Guhuo said, "just watch and don't let them find out when the time comes. Secondly, don't take action easily. Unless the girl's life is in danger, let them fiddle with themselves, and then Just tell me when you get back."
"yes."
Ruoyun responded, and then her body floated up and disappeared into the night.
Fairy Guhuo looked at the still boundless night around her, and sighed worriedly. Instead of returning to her cave, she actually flew up. However, it was not that she was worried about chasing her apprentice in person, but went straight to her own cave. Heading towards Tang Bonian's cave.
At this time, Tang Bonian was not the only one in Tang Bonian's cave. Lu Pingchuan's master, Senior Kang Fu, was also there.
After a disciple respectfully let Fairy Guhuo in and then left, Tang Bonian said:
"The girl is out?"
"That's right, I just went out, and I asked Ruoyuan to follow him out."
"Well, I also released Xu Sheng, and Kang Fu's disciple Xi Kan was also sent out by him. The three foundation-building disciples should be able to protect the five children."
Kang Fu chuckled and said, "Well, if Old Man Tang hadn't said that this place might have something to do with the Suo family who had sneaked in, I wouldn't have bothered to care about it. I would have let those children do the trouble, and it would be fine."
Fairy Guhuo shook her head. She was not as forgiving as Kang Fu. After sitting down on the futon, she said:
"How possible do you think what the child said is possible?"
After hearing this, Tang Bonian pondered for a moment before speaking:
"When I first heard it, I thought it was too bizarre, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. You have to be careful. After all, a lot of people escaped from the Suo family back then."
As he spoke, Tang Bonian took out a book the size of an account book. After opening it, he found that all the names of people were densely written in it, and without exception, the surnames of these people were Suo. It's just that the names above are basically painted with a layer of light black ink, indicating that the person has been executed. However, after turning over a few pages, there are always one or two people whose names do not have this layer of light black ink. These These are the names of those Suo family members who have escaped.
Tang Bonian pointed to a name without ink marks and said:
"This is a record from previous years. This Suo Yuanshen has died by my sword."
As he spoke, he took a pen and erased Suo Yuanshen's name.
Fairy Guhuo said:
"I heard that he was the one who wanted to seize a Qi Refining disciple from the Sheshe Sect?"
"That's right, he made a mistake by mistake and died in my hands. He had been running away for a long time at that time... It must have been almost three or four years. He was unlucky. But it was precisely because of this Suoyuan Regarding Shen's matter, I only somewhat believed what the child said... Well, if I look at it carefully, the two people who escaped from the Suo family were Suo Yuanhai and Suo Yuanwu. When they returned home, the two men were not in Suo's house. Later, they hid after hearing the news and have not been found all these years. Suo Yuanshen escaped desperately, so he suffered injuries all over his body and never recovered. Well, there are also six other boys who built the foundation, and they were all not in the Suo family at that time, otherwise they would definitely have died at that time."
Handing the booklet to Fairy Guhuo, Tang Bonian continued:
"After all these years, it's not unusual for them to sneak into our sect. When we wiped out the Suo family and found that someone had slipped through the net, the sect made great efforts to track it down. Unexpectedly, they knew the truth about darkness under the lamp. Instead, he used this method of seizing the body to sneak in, and he was really willing to give up his own cultivation! If that girl hadn't reminded him, the sect would have gradually relaxed about this matter."
Fairy Guhuo said:
"Then we shouldn't let those kids take risks this time. Let's send people to capture those kids and question them carefully, okay?"
Among the three of them, Tang Bonian has a white beard, Kang Fu has a black beard and Fairy Guhuo looks like a middle-aged beauty. In fact, in terms of age, Fairy Guhuo is the eldest and also has the highest level of cultivation. The highest, but in the long years, Fairy Guhuo has lost more than one disciple. Not long ago, she avenged a disciple and solved a problem on her mind, but she still has other disciples who are unknown outside the sect. He disappeared, so she rarely accepted a disciple due to her sadness. Since she accepted Tang Ping, she has paid special attention to this girl. She would miss Tang Ping when she went out in the past, let alone this time.
Tang Bonian understood Fairy Guhuo's thoughts, smiled softly and said:
"Those five children will be fine. You don't have to worry too much about them. It would be a pity not to let them experience such a good opportunity! We should focus on the sect. After all, there are still too many Qi Refining disciples. , I don’t know how many of them have been recruited, and it is very laborious to check, but according to what the boy said, it is easy to screen. Well, that boy is indeed smart, and if it is really the Suo family who has sneaked into the sect. , then he may not be interested in that girl Yan Shuang. I have already warned several elders in charge of the sect that nothing will happen to that girl."
Fairy Guhuo knew that the "boy" Tang Bonian was talking about was Qian Chao from Jiuxuan who was good at refining weapons, but Tang Bonian's words still made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she snorted coldly:
"I don't care what Yan Shuang is, he's not my disciple, so what does it have to do with me! We must get rid of these troubles as soon as possible, otherwise people won't be able to rest assured when the child goes out."
Tang Bonian and Kang Fu couldn't help but smile after hearing Fairy Guhuo's words. Tang Bonian said again:
"It won't be so fast. If it is really related to the Suo family, then I estimate that the person who took the body must be one of Suo Yuanhai or Suo Yuanwu. When the Suo family was still there, these two people Very cunning. Many of the Suo family's original plans were made after consultation between these two people. In comparison, the dead Suo Yuanshen can only be regarded as a reckless man. Now that the Suo family is gone, if it is really one of them One of them has sneaked into our sect, so he must be as careful as walking on thin ice. If there is any trouble, he will definitely hide. It is easy to kill him when face to face, but it is difficult to find him. We cannot make big moves, we cannot No matter what you investigate, you must investigate in secret. According to my opinion, it is best to let those children fight with them. We will watch in secret. When those children show up after seducing him, it will be our turn. When you take action, you must be able to capture that person in one fell swoop, otherwise the consequences will be endless!"
Fairy Guhuo said unconvinced: "Didn't that kid say that Tian Zhi'an's apprentice, that boy named Ma Hu, was tracing the death of Lao Jin's apprentice and found a man named Smiling Man? That person is the most suspicious. Why not start with that person?”
Tang Bonian became a little serious: "Don't forget, that time when those five children were almost plotted by Suo Yuanshen in Xiaolianhua Lake, what I said to the sect can be regarded as the secrets of the sect. , not many people know about it, and it is impossible to tell the truth about those five children. Now some people clearly want to kill Qian Chao, but in fact they may be killing all five children. The incident had already been leaked out, and you didn't dare to come to me, so you started with the children. Huh! Can you say that there is no connection with each other? Well, I might as well tell you one more thing, then After that girl Ri Yanshuang entered our Wuling Sect, I was summoned there once by the seniors on Yuhu Mountain. They summoned me alone. I think it was something that happened to Yan Shuang on the way that made those on the mountain so angry. People are on guard. If Jiuganyuan can be penetrated by Motianya and Muyang Sect, why can't our Wuling Sect? Those seniors want me to secretly check on these people in the sect to see if there are any Regarding the detailed work from the other five sects, I originally wanted to start with those people who were staring at Yan Shuang, but I didn’t have a clue. Now it would be good to mix in the incident that the girl said. Several things are probably mixed together. If it's a big fish, then we can't make any big moves. We can just watch in secret and see who will jump out if things develop. If it's a big fish, then we'll take action. If it's a small fish or shrimp, just let the children deal with it. "
"You really don't have to worry about letting these children take this risk!"
Tang Bonian smiled:
"Of course she can't do it alone, but there are five of them, and with our three disciples watching secretly, nothing will happen. Besides, it's not like you don't know that girl's temper. Well, those five children, When it comes to scheming, that girl and the rich boy are the best, but when it comes to means, all five of them are pretty good. You must have heard something about what they are doing outside these days, right?"
"Then...have you told Lao Jin from Jiuxuan?"
The so-called Lao Jin is Senior Brother Xun’s master, Elder Jin of Jiuxuan.
"No, first of all, those are all the kid's guesses. It won't be too late to talk to him once we have some clues. Secondly, Lao Jin's actions are a bit fierce and not very reliable. He might mess up the matter. , don’t tell him now, it’s best to really catch that person in the future, and ask him to find out who really killed Lao Jin’s apprentice, and then send the person to Lao Jin, and let him feel guilty. That’s it.”
Seeing Fairy Guhuo still frowning, Kang Yao on the side couldn't help but said:
"Senior sister, this arrangement must be foolproof. Children, you have to go out and beat them to get ahead!"
