(Dear readers: The tide in Cold Spring Valley is finally over. The next plot I want to promote will revolve around the "Entrance Examination". As for the "Entrance Examination", there have been foreshadowings before. In total, five people are in the Qi refining stage. More than half of the plot of the story has passed. After the "Eunciation", there is roughly "Seizing Luan" and "Zhu Xie". I wrote it step by step according to my own outline. If you like it, please read it. Please continue to pay attention, thank you.)
The next day, near Senior Kang Fu's cave, Lu Pingchuan had already called a few companions. He was going to make a big meal for a few friends, so Qian Chao and the other four rushed to Lu Pingchuan that day.
Li Jian enthusiastically and gently shook the rack on top of the charcoal fire, grilling the meat on it until it was "sizzling" and oily, and the meat was fragrant. Yanxuan was holding a fan next to him to help him fan the fire. The heat and smoke coming out of it. On the stove over there, Lu Pingchuan was holding the spoon and Tang Ping was helping. The two of them were very busy, especially Tang Ping. While helping, she would steal food from time to time and was burned to the point of gasping for breath.
On the contrary, Qian Chao was the most leisurely one. He was sitting next to the big table where he was preparing to eat. There were several books on the table, which were collected from those who were defeated during the great tide in Hanquan Valley. Some of them started to Just put it on Tang Ping or Li Jian. Everyone was gathering today, and they all knew that Qian Chao liked to collect these, so they took them out to him, letting Qian Chao look at them with relish.
After a while, the food was ready and the wine was poured. The five people sat around and enjoyed the food while recounting the excitement of Hanquan Valley during the spring tide. When they reached the lively place, they cheered happily and laughed.
After the food and wine were consumed and the remaining seats were removed, spiritual tea was put on the table, and several people continued to talk while sipping the tea.
Qian Chao originally planned to tell everyone what Ma Hu told him about Lin Jian, but he was worried that telling this matter would affect everyone's mood for enjoying the food, so he slowly told Ma Hu that day after the banquet. Amber told everyone what she said.
Only then did Tang Ping understand why Lin Jian had always had a soft spot for the unremarkable Ning Han, and everyone also understood the truth about the murder of Senior Sister Bai Yun that happened nearly thirty years ago.
"No wonder," Tang Ping said, "No wonder Lin Jian thinks so highly of Ning Han, who is not very outstanding. It turns out that there is another reason behind it. It's funny. I used to think that Ning Han had any charming charm that could confuse people. As for Shu, it seems that she was wrongly blamed, this woman is indeed very pitiful!"
"What's even more pitiable is Senior Sister Bai," Yanxuan said, "She could have avoided death, but she was willing to die in order to save her sweetheart. It's really a pity and respectable!"
"Well, I was a little wrong about Han Tian before," Li Jian said, "At least this guy can be considered a loyal person, but his intentions are good, but his methods are still open to question."
"Hey, didn't you say that the boy named Lin Jian was so scared that he ran back to the Lin family?" Qian Chao said carefully, so Lu Pingchuan also understood it. He remembered the recent rumors that Lin Jian returned to the Lin family, and said, " What will those people do if they want to avenge Senior Sister Bai from back then? Are they going to target the Lin family?"
"It's still early for revenge. Senior Sister Bai's friends back then, as well as many people who were favored by Senior Sister Bai, cannot take revenge now." Qian Chao said.
"That's why, now that everyone knows the truth about that year, it would be nice to catch Lin Jian and beat him to death in front of everyone!" Lu Pingchuan was a little confused.
"Brother Lu," Tang Ping said, "Things will not be that simple. Let's use an analogy. Suppose I did something bad that everyone in the sect hates, but firstly I have my master to support me, and secondly... With my Sixth Grandpa as my backing, even if everyone knows that I did the bad things, no one in the sect can do anything to me. Who can offend my master and my Sixth Grandpa? Likewise, this Even if everyone now knows that Lin Jian did it, firstly, the matter was settled back then, and secondly, Lin Jian’s life experience is even more untouchable than mine, so even if everyone knows what happened back then, The real murderer is Lin Jian. Everyone wants revenge but can't do it for the moment..."
"Then let that kid do evil things and just go on unfettered?" Lu Pingchuan said somewhat unconvinced.
"Of course not, Brother Lu, although we can't do anything to Lin Jian for the time being, Lin Jian will definitely not end well in the future..." Qian Chao said.
"How do you say this?"
"Brother Lu, Mr. Qian just said that the man named Shu Hai was killed by Senior Brother Song Zhen and others in front of Lin Jian. That person was a key witness. This shows that Senior Brother Song Zhen and others I also know that there is currently no way to punish Lin Jian, but... hum... believe me, although Lin Jian can't move now, he will definitely die in their hands in the future." Tang Ping said.
"Then what exactly did they do, Sister Tang, tell me."
"If my guess is correct, Shangguan Hong has been pushing for this matter, including Senior Brother Song Zhen and others' return to the sect. It should also be Shangguan's means, because Senior Brother Song Zhen and those people have the best relationship with Senior Sister Bai Yun, and even more so Don't mention that Song Zhen has always been interested in Bai Yun. Knowing that the real culprit who killed Senior Sister Bai will definitely fight to the death, but even so, Senior Brother Song Zhen has to think about his family. Think about it, if Shangguan Hong has a way, why How can she keep herself innocent if she doesn't bring this matter out completely? Her plan is the same as that of Song Zhen and others. Now that she knows the truth of the year, she can only take revenge after everyone builds the foundation in the future... "
"Why after the foundation is established?" Lu Pingchuan was still puzzled. Li Jian and Yan Xuan were also a little unclear. As for Qian Chao, they understood clearly and listened to Tang Ping continue.
"After the Qi Refining monks build the foundation, they have to go outside the sect. We all know this. My sixth grandfather has told me more than once that all the dandies in the sect often return after being sent outside the sect. I won’t come, I’ve told everyone this before, right?”
"Well, that's right. It doesn't mean that those dandy guys are uneducated and have no real abilities. Once they arrive outside the sect, they have big eyes and small stomachs. They can't do anything but cause trouble for themselves. That's why they can't come back outside?" Lu Lu Hirakawa said.
"This is just one of them," Tang Ping said, "Where are there so many dandies in the sect? There are still many disciples with ordinary backgrounds, so even after foundation building, the dandies must be sent out with other foundation building monks. , since he is called a playboy, he will inevitably do some ridiculous things during the entire Qi refining stage, or offend others or bully others. As a playboy in the sect, he has his own elders to take care of him, but once he leaves the sect, he can use He only has his companions around him, Brother Lu, think about it, if there are several people around a dude who hate him or even have a lot of grudges in the past, it would be strange if he didn't die outside. In fact, There is no need for those people to take action, as long as they are perfunctory and allow him to continue to behave according to his temper. After causing trouble, he will be punished by just dealing with it indifferently. They can even kill him by looking at him coldly at the moment of life and death. This is also the fundamental reason why the dandy in the sect who is sent out after building the foundation often cannot come back."
"Does that mean Song Zhen and the other three will take revenge after building the foundation?" Li Jian said.
"It's not just Song Zhen," Qian Chao said. "Song Zhen, Ruan Tian and Bao Xian hate Lin Jian to the core. There are many others, such as Senior Brother Fan Yan, Senior Sister Luo Ying, and Senior Brother Luo Bin. , Senior Sister Lu Shuang, Senior Brother Ma Hu, well, there are many of them. I heard from Ma Hu that many people had benefited from that Senior Sister Bai back then. According to Ma Hu, among these high-level Qi Refining disciples in the sect, ten At least 30% of the people are eager to avenge Senior Sister Bai, so we can imagine Lin Jian's situation in the future."
"Hey, what if that Lin Jian never comes back? That kid has been cowering in the Lin family. Aren't these people still unable to do anything to him?" Lu Pingchuan asked again.
"It's impossible, Brother Lu. Lin Jian's escape back to the Lin family is just a temporary fright. He will definitely return to the sect in the future. The Lin family is so famous and powerful. Compared with the Five Spirits Sect, it is still a big mountain. It's just a stubborn stone under the family. Although Lin Jian returned to the Lin family, it was just to avoid the limelight temporarily. He was used to the prosperity of the sect. How could he endure the cramped and shabby life of a noble family? Don't worry, he will definitely Coming back."
"Then this can only be like this for the time being, right?" Yanxuan was speechless until he heard this and asked.
"Yes, that's all it can do for the time being. In the future, after they build the foundation, there will probably be news, so don't be too surprised then." Tang Ping said.
"Hmph! Teach that kid to live a little longer!" Li Jian said.
"Ma Hu told me that I rescued Han Tian and Ning Han during the big tide in Hanquan Valley. He warned me that I would be hated by Lin Jian in the future and told me to be more careful."
"Don't worry too much about that, Mr. Qian. Lin Jian knows his own affairs. He should also know who is the biggest threat to him. He won't pay too much attention to you until those people are dealt with." Tang Ping He said with relief.
"Well, I've thought of this too. There's one more thing. Ma Hu asked me to remind you, Girl Tang, to pay more attention to that Shangguan Hong. Although she has been cleared of the crime of killing Senior Sister Bai in some people's minds, this Women must not be underestimated, so be careful."
"Oh, what did Ma Hu say?" Tang Ping asked.
"The few of us don't know Shangguan Hong very well, and we only have a few interactions with him. But Ma Hu is different. He has experienced the things that happened to the Five Spirits disciples in the past, and he recognizes people and things a lot. At least He knows Shangguan Hong better than the rest of us. He said that this woman is extremely selfish, scheming and resourceful, but she is also very resilient and will not give up until she achieves her goal..."
"Why did he say this?"
"Remember the time we rescued Ma Hu from Shangguan Hong, and the time I dealt with Hou Bao and the other three?"
"Yeah, remember."
"At that time, I wanted to save Ma Hu, but Shangguan Hong kept trying to lead the matter to you. She kept testing her words, forcing you to agree to something in the future, remember?"
"of course I remember."
"Well, it was from that time that Ma Hu felt that your fellow senior sister had no good intentions towards you and had some unfavorable intentions..."
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this, how could she forget that matter, and said:
"Speaking of it, I'm also surprised. Although she is not a master, she can be regarded as my fellow senior sister. After all, her master and my master are brothers and sisters. Her cultivation methods should be better than mine. I am here What can she think about?"
Qian Chao thought about this and continued:
"Tang Yatou, in my opinion, this Shangguan Hong is also an extremely picky person. You are also from the same school as Yuling. She comes from a big family, so naturally she doesn't value things like spiritual stones and pills. In fact, you and this Shangguan There are some similarities between Hong and Shangguan Hong, that is, you are both under the Yuling Sect, and you are both interested in rare spiritual beasts. The spiritual beasts in you are all extraordinary. Now it seems that the same is true for Shangguan Hong. Therefore, after listening to Ma Hu’s words, I always I feel that in the future, when we are fighting for some rare and rare spiritual beast... you and her will fall out and have a conflict. Shangguan Hong probably thinks so too, so she must ask you to promise her something. What she does may be That’s why.”
Qian Chao's words immediately reminded Tang Ping of Qingluan. Obtaining the eggs laid by Qingluan was what Tang Ping wanted to do most next. What kind of spiritual bird Qingluan was, it was enough to complete her companion spirit. The use of roots was something she was bound to get, so Tang Ping listened deeply to these words.
"Humph, what are you afraid of? Even if you want to fall out in the future, just do it directly. If you dare to grab something from Sister Tang, I will punch you right away!" Lu Pingchuan shouted.
"It's true. Although I have a bad impression of Shangguan Hong, I don't know him well. Since I have Ma Hu's advice, I will naturally be more careful in the future. Well, okay, I accept Ma Hu's favor. It’s his.”
"Well, that's what Ma Hu said yesterday. By the way, we captured a few people alive in Hanquan Valley. How did we deal with those people?" Qian Chao said.
"It seems that no decision has been made yet. It seems that we are waiting for the seniors who have left to return before making a decision."
"Oh? So the seniors sent out by the sect are coming back soon?"
"Well, that's true. News has come back. It is said that the Muyang Sect can no longer hold on any longer and has privately sent people to the Wuling Sect to seek peace. It is estimated that it will not take long to end the current confrontation between the two sides at the border. It’s time for those seniors to come back.”
After hearing this, Yanxuan felt happy. When those seniors came back, naturally senior Zhong Yao would also come back. Now her cultivation level was not only at the fifth level of Qi refining, but she had also cultivated her own fire spirit. Next, it was time to ask Senior Zhong to accept him as his disciple.
Li Jian also thought the same thing, but at this time Li Jian did not expect that his apprenticeship was more difficult than that of Yanxuan. It was not until after the "Entrance Examination" that he could officially become the apprentice of Fairy Lengyue. Under the door.
The next five people also laughed and talked about the evil rumors circulating in the sect for a while, especially Tang Ping, who made fun of Qian Chao without hesitation.
Yanxuan wanted to say something, but she stopped after looking at Qian Chao. The reason why she didn't say anything was precisely because what she knew was related to Jiuxuan's senior brother Cheng Qiantang, and Qian Chao and Cheng Qiantang had another relationship. They were very good friends, so I didn’t mention it.
In fact, it's not complicated. Cao Ze was involved in the rumor. In fact, it was not a rumor. It was probably the truth. But after Cao Ze died, senior sister Mei Qing should have died. But surprisingly, that After the incident, Mei Qing had been blaming Cheng Qantang for Cao Ze's death, blaming him for not rescuing him in time. After returning to the sect, he either ignored him or closed the door to him. He was not even allowed to visit. It was a waste of time. Senior Brother Cheng’s hard work has now ended like this.
But there is also something that makes Yanxuan happy, that is, Senior Sister Min was really moved by Senior Brother Xiao after the big tide in Hanquan Valley. From then on, he looked completely different, and the relationship between the two gradually became closer. , Yanxuan was very happy to see the happy smile that always hung on Senior Sister Min's face, and he was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey, Mr. Qian, what are we going to do next?" Tang Ping asked after joking.
"Well, I've been thinking about the mysterious teahouse owner in Ruixuan Town. If nothing happens in the next few days, I'm thinking of going there again. According to what the old shopkeeper said, the teahouse owner should show up this time."
Tang Ping knew that the tea boss was probably Qian Chao's future master, so she nodded and said:
"Anyway, nothing happens. Let's go visit Ruixuan Town later."
"Hehe, okay!" Lu Pingchuan said happily.
