Qian Chao and the other two people left Ruixuan Town to return to Wuling Sect. When they were leaving Ruixuan Town, they met a person. This person was the Zuo You they had met before when they came here.
"Hey, Zuo You, aren't you supposed to get your bonus? Why are you still here?" Tang Ping asked a little strangely.
"Haha, don't worry about that. As long as those heads are with me, the bonus will be mine sooner or later. But there are a few...well...you really impressed me, five of you. I know you are going to return to the Five Spirits Sect. Yes, but before I leave, could you please do me a favor and invite you to have a cup of tea so that we can sit down and talk?"
As he said that, Zuo You raised his hand and pointed. There was a small teahouse with a small appearance on the roadside.
Tang Ping looked at several companions and found no objections. She must have been full of curiosity about this person, so she said:
"Okay, since Brother Zuo invited me, let's have a cup of tea together."
There was no one in the teahouse, so the six of them sat down in a corner.
"Boy, what do you want from us?" Lu Pingchuan asked after the spiritual tea was served.
"Haha, the town of Ruixuan has been really lively these days. I heard that there was an assassination one night." Zuo You said with a smile.
"So what, if you cause trouble in Ruixuan Town, you will definitely be severely punished by the Wuling Sect." Tang Ping said.
"I won't tell lies in front of the real person. The four foundation-building monks from Bianzhou who were arrested in Ruixuan Town a few nights ago must be related to some of them, right?" Zuo You said again .
Under the strict orders of Chengminglou, Song Fenglou did not dare to leak any information about the assassination that night. People in the town only knew that an assassination had occurred, but who was the assassin and who was killed? Thorn, none of this information has leaked out. I don’t know how Zuo You knew about it.
"Brother Zuo is so well-informed about the news in Ruixuan Town?" Tang Ping said pointedly.
"Haha, those four guys, I almost made a huge amount of spiritual stones from them."
Zuo You said, took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to the five people.
That piece of paper was also a reward for drawing a shadow. The five people in the painting recognized it at a glance. It was actually Lei Xian. However, this reward was different from the others. The first reward was indeed not small. There are thousands of spirit stones; secondly, as long as the person in the painting is killed, as long as he survives, he will not get a single spirit stone, and he can even receive the reward only for information about Lei Xian's exact whereabouts.
"Is this... a reward from the four families in Bianzhou?" Tang Ping asked.
"Yes, this spiritual stone is rich. Of course I was tempted when I first saw the reward. Later, I accidentally found the person in the painting in Ruixuan Town. Well, Lei Xian. But I am also curious. As long as I don't have to live, Damn it, that must be some big secret hidden in Lei Xian's mouth, so, haha, I secretly restrained Lei Xian at night and questioned him, and then I found out what happened to Lei Xian, so... , I’ll let him go. I can’t earn such a spiritual stone. Oh, if the five of you don’t believe it, you can ask Lei Xian yourself. Anyway, with the help of the five of you, he will enter your Five Spirits Sect to practice. In the future, You will definitely see me often."
"Oh? That means that that night, the monks from Chengming Tower searched all over the town for Lei Xian but couldn't find him. Were they hidden by you?" Tang Ping asked.
"Haha, that's right, and it was only after I came out to help him find out the news that he dared to go back to that shop."
"That's right, then what do you have to do with us?"
"Well, haha," Zuo You smiled again, "These few disciples of the Five Spirits I have met are different. I am wandering in this world of cultivation. I dare not say that I am experienced, but I always know a lot of people, like Five people like you are really rare. Well, these five people are indeed worthy of association. That’s why I came here today to have a chat with the five of them. It’s a close relationship. In the future... maybe I can see you again in the practice world and within your sect. "
Tang Ping frowned after hearing this. There was something in this guy's words.
"It will take some time before we meet in the practice world, but we should be able to meet again, but... meeting in our sect, Zuo You, are you planning something?"
"Haha, this Miss Tang is really smart, and I won't hide it. Hey, this is what I will do next."
Zuo You said as he took out a stack of papers from his body and showed them to the five people. They were all painted with portraits of people offering rewards.
"These are all bounties. Brother Zuo, you said this is how you make a living, but...does this have anything to do with our Five Spirits Sect?" Qian Chao said after looking at the bounties.
"In the grace test that happens once every ten years, many children from aristocratic families take the opportunity to enter the Five Spirits Sect. Well, actually it happens in normal times, but it happens more before the grace test. Five of you, do you know? In fact, your Wuling Sect is also a place where dirt hides evil?" Zuo You said.
"What do you mean?" Tang Ping said a little unhappy.
"I probably understand what Brother Zuo means," Li Jian interjected. He was holding a reward card in his hand. On it was a picture of a relatively handsome young man. "Miss Tang, do you remember this person? The last time you came to Ruixuan Zhen, we met this person in Song Feng Tower. At that time, I said that someone wanted to kill people there, and then he suppressed his murderous intention. This person was the one who was targeted. Well, Brother Zuo was also He was dressed in a white robe, but he was definitely not the one who had murderous intentions at that time. I estimate that this...Ge Yan... probably would not die in the hands of Brother Zuo. His enemies have already followed him into the Five Spirits Sect. It must be because I'm going to kill Ge Chen for the evil he has done."
Tang Ping was curious after hearing this, so she took the piece of paper from Li Jian's hand, and looked at it carefully with Yanxuan for a while.
"This Ge Chen... actually killed so many people!" Yan Xuan couldn't help but frowned after seeing the small words under the piece of paper.
Tang Ping also changed her expression when she saw it, and said:
"Hmph, he was immoral after drinking, and he killed all the daughters of aristocratic families. He was really courageous. He is the son of the Ge family in Yingchuan. I have never heard of the Ge family in Yingchuan. There are some famous aristocratic families in Yingchuan. There is a Wang family and a Meng family, how dare this Ge Chen be so arrogant?"
"In Yingchuan, the Ge family is indeed not a big family, but Ge Chen's mother is named Wang. Listening to what Brother Li said, it seems that someone wants to take revenge personally. If so, I can help him, after all... Revenge with your own hands is the happiest thing." Zuo You said, this was what Li Jian said to Lei Xian at that time.
"I see. So what is Brother Zuo trying to show us? Is it possible that Brother Zuo wants to cooperate with us and kill these guys together?"
Zuo You laughed and said:
"Haha, I don't have such extravagant hopes. I'm just saying this to the five of you in advance. If I see Zuo in your sect in the future, then I'm going to sneak into your five spirits for these people. When the time comes, I hope some of you won’t expose me. Well, just take these, five of you. Humph, so many children from aristocratic families who have done evil things have hid in your Five Spirits Sect. That’s why I say that your sect is like hiding dirt. A place of evil."
"Hey, Brother Zuo, I asked you about your origins last time, and now we're toasting together, can you tell us something about you?" Tang Ping asked.
"Haha, let's raise a glass and drink together. That's drinking. Now my friendship with the five of you is just drinking tea together. When we become friends over drinking, I will definitely not hide anything from you."
"Really!"
…
A few days later, a pill-forming monk quietly came to Ruixuan Town. This man was luxuriously dressed and had a peaceful face, but there was an unconcealable gloom in his eyes.
Such an astonishing cultivation level was discovered when he approached Ruixuan Town. As soon as he entered Ruixuan Town, a Five Spirits monk came up to talk to him. After asking about his purpose, he took this person all the way to Chengming. Inside the building.
"Mr. Tian, please come this way. The elders of our sect are waiting for you." In Chengming Building, Xu Sheng greeted him, took the man upstairs and then into a hall.
The Danjie monk surnamed Tian was already secretly surprised before he stepped into this hall. As the door opened, what he saw in front of him made the bad feeling in his heart even worse.
In the hall, there are many futons, and at least more than twenty alchemy monks are sitting there. These people are either middle-aged men with black beards and black hair, old men with white hair, or stout strong men. There were several pretty women sitting there cross-legged and looking at the people walking in from the door. There was a bit of hostility in their eyes, and there was a faint sense of chilling in the entire hall.
In the middle of these pill-forming monks, there sat an old man with white beard and white hair, staring straight at him with sharp eyes. The pipe in his hand was still emitting wisps of green smoke. It was Tang Bonian.
"Mr. Tian, the people sitting here are all the elders of my Five Spirit Sect." Xu Sheng whispered beside the man, then bowed to the pill-forming monks and then left.
"Tian Jiang, the head of the Tian family in Xia Qizhou, has met the elders of the Five Spirit Sect." After saying that, the head of the Tian family respectfully saluted the many monks in the hall.
Most of the Wuling monks were silent when they saw it. Tang Bonian, who was sitting in the middle, stretched out his hand towards a futon and said:
"Master Tian is thousands of miles away. Thank you for your hard work coming from afar. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Elder Tang." Tian Jiang recognized Tang Bonian. He smiled and sat down on the futon.
"It's only been a long time since we last saw each other. I didn't expect that Master Tian's cultivation has improved again. I would like to express my congratulations to Master Tian."
"I don't dare. I have been summoned by the elders, but I don't know what the instructions will be."
…
Outside the hall, there was only one person patrolling the empty corridor, and it was Xu Sheng. Naturally, no one dared to eavesdrop on the conversation here, but as the leader of the Five Spirits disciples in Ruixuan Town, he still had to fulfill his responsibilities. , he sent people to strictly guard the stairs up and down, no one was allowed to come here to harass, and the empress herself patrolled here.
Of course, Xu Sheng couldn't hear the conversation in the hall even if there was only a door between them. The people inside were all Dan Ji's seniors, and this conversation was very important, so they had already done something inside, even if they were inside It was so noisy that my face turned red, and I couldn't hear any movement outside.
Exactly three hours later, the door of the hall opened. Tang Bonian and the Tian family, the head of the Tian family, walked out of it hand in hand like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Tang Bonian saw Xu Sheng and said:
"Go and bring Tian Shuangjin and the others downstairs. The head of the Tian family will go with them when he returns later."
"Yes." Xu Sheng accepted the order and left quickly.
Downstairs in Chengming, Tian Shuangjin and others were already waiting. Tian Shuangjin, plus the Tian family foundation-building monks who were controlled together, all looked downcast and listless.
"It's these guys who made Brother Tang worry so much!" Tian Jiang seemed to be relieved when he saw Tian Shuangjin and the others, and said with a half-serious smile.
"Haha, young people, it's always like this. My disciples are just as troublesome. If you don't watch them closely, who knows what trouble they can cause you."
"Haha... Brother Tang was joking. In that case, I have to go back. There are many things at home."
"Well, that's fine. I'll see you off after a long journey, but I'll see you off soon. Master Tian, have a good trip."
"Thank you very much. Brother Tang, take care. If you pass by Qizhou in the future, you must come to my place for a drink."
"sure."
After the false politeness, the Tian family head smiled and reluctantly led Tian Shuangjin and the others out of Ruixuan Town while looking back frequently. As soon as they left the town, Tian Shuangjin immediately noticed that the face of the family head suddenly changed. Too gloomy to look at.
"The head of the family..."
"Go back to Tian's house!"
Tang Bonian watched the Tian family go away, and when he returned to Chengming Building, there was a hint of a sneer on his face.
