The night was dark, and the six of them were drinking while listening to Zuo You talk about his past. After they had finished drinking and eating, the rest of the mats were removed and the spiritual tea was put on the table. Zuo You then told about his experiences in the Wuling Sect these days. He also told the five people, during which Tang Ping took out the letters and everyone read them together.

Most of those letters are unnamed. It can be seen that the people who wrote them are very cautious. A few of them have their names signed at the end of the letters. If Zuo You knew in advance that the guys who died under his hands would have such letters on them. , he must be able to know which family sent each letter to Wen Liang. He has a reward with a shadow pattern in his hand. After all, he uses these rewards to find those guys in the Five Spirits Sect. But at that time, he didn't know about the secret letter at all. He accidentally discovered the letter later, and it was unsigned, so now he doesn't know which family those unsigned letters came from.

Because of this, Zuo You was still a little embarrassed. He took out a bunch of bonus bounties with portraits on them, carefully selected them for a while, and then found sixteen or seventeen pictures and said:

"If I had known in advance that I would encounter this incident in the Five Spirits Sect, I would definitely know which family each letter came from now. It's a pity, eh, these guys died in my hands in the Five Spirits Sect. , Haha, their heads are pickled and ugly. They are in my storage bag. If necessary, I can take them out for everyone to check."

"Uh... That's not necessary," Tang Ping said quickly, taking the stack of papers. "These are enough. After all, they are all the aristocratic families behind these guys."

"In addition to the letter, there are two maps in it, eh..." Zuo You dug out the large envelope containing the map on the table. "From the words in the letter, it seems that the gentle man hidden in your sect regards these maps as... It's a very important thing. I've seen the map, but let alone the mystery in it, I don't even know where the map is. But I think it must be somewhere within your Five Spirit Realm, and there should be something hidden there. The secrets that Wen Liang attaches great importance to can only be cracked by people in your sect."

In Zuo You's view, after Qian Chao and the other five obtained these letters and the two maps, they must hand them over to the elders of their sect. Then many matters, such as dealing with Wen Liang, should be handled by the elders of the sect. He never imagined that the subsequent development of this matter would finally come to light with the help of the five people in front of him.

Zuo You finally recovered from his serious injury. He drank wine and talked for a while. It was obvious that he was a little tired, so after talking a few more words, he went back to his room to rest.

There were only five of them in the room. Tang Ping shook a piece of paper in her hand and asked:

"How to deal with these...?"

Qian Chao said:

"Of course we have to hand it over to the sect. After we return to the sect, you will give these to Senior Tang Bo. In the past, we only had speculations about Wen Liang and no actual evidence. Now from these letters, it seems that Wen Liang is indeed He is planning something big, and it may really cause great harm to our Five Spirits Sect!"

"That's right," Li Jian said, "Look at what's written in this letter..."

As he spoke, Li Jian put the letter in his hand on the table and tapped on the paper with his finger.

"This letter was written to Wen Liang from a family named Liu in Jingzhou. Look at this sentence, 'The master has a big plan that can stir up the sky, turn the mountains and rivers upside down, and change the sun and the moon.' What could be so amazing?"

Several people came over to read the letter.

Tang Ping read the letter in a low voice:

"Mr. Wen's Taiwan Mirror: Hui's letter is respectfully read, and I apologize for the late reply. Mr. Liu said in the former's letter that Liu deeply believed that the world has been suffering for a long time, and it is like a dome covering three feet, which makes people unable to hold their heads high. However, the Liu family is relatively peaceful. In a corner, I am alone. Although I have the will, I am powerless. I am frightened by the minions and claws of the five spirits. I can only stay dormant to protect myself and dare not make any rash moves. The teacher said that there is a big plan that can stir the sky, turn the mountains and rivers upside down, and change the sun and the moon. Mr. Liu yearns for it. Mr. Liu has a broad mind and can embrace hundreds of rivers. It is difficult for the Liu family to match Mr. Liu's level. However, the people of the Liu family have been living in peace for a long time. Most of them are not enterprising, and only a few are determined to pioneer. Therefore, it is difficult for them to go far away to serve under his command. Don't be surprised, sir. After reading the edict, Liu often thought about how to repay your respect for your husband. He thought about it all the time, but he could only guard Jingzhou for your husband. On the day when your husband rises, there will be an earth-shattering trend. At that time, there will be a small battle. , panic and chaos, the Liu family will sweep away the remnants of the Five Spirits in order to wait for their husband. The person who sent the letter, Quanzi Liuying, has instructions, so he can tell them. Liu Yong paused. "

This letter is one of the few with the last signature among all the letters. With the name at the end of the letter, this letter can be regarded as actual evidence. As long as it is handed over to the sect, maybe it can be obtained from the Jingzhou Liu surname. I got some definite news from the mouth of the family.

Yanxuan asked:

"Is the Jingzhou Liu family a very big family?"

Tang Ping said:

"I'm not sure about this. Jingzhou is in the northwest of Wuling Sect. If I remember correctly, the big family in Jingzhou should be named Zhi. As for the Liu family, I've never heard of it."

Yanxuan asked again:

"There's something I can't figure out. We've all seen Yan Jing's methods after becoming an evil cultivator. It's really shocking. Brother Qian also said before that there is something different between evil cultivators and us ordinary monks. I remember it seems like If you become an evil cultivator, you don’t have to worry about foundation building. If this is true, then since these letters are so important, and since evil cultivators can easily build foundations, why is it that the person who is gentle enough to work for him now has a foundation building cultivation level? There are no evil cultivators at all? If evil cultivators with foundation-building cultivation are sent to deal with Zuo You, where can we get these important letters and maps?"

This is indeed a puzzling question.

Qian Chao replied:

"Practicing evil arts and becoming an evil cultivator can indeed prevent monks from being trapped in the bottleneck of foundation building, but in the whole process...just like what Yan Jing did to Ge Chen in the end, evil cultivators need a lot of support from other monks. If there is really an evil cultivator who wants to establish a foundation in the Five Spirits Sect, many people will die, and secondly, only the disciples of the Five Spirits will be killed by him. In this case, it will definitely It will cause an uproar, and the sect will definitely send out personnel to investigate and then spare no effort to kill him. What Wen Liang does must be done in secret, so there should be no evil cultivators with foundation-building cultivation around him."

Yanxuan nodded, and then Tang Ping also said:

"One more thing, if there are foundation-building evil cultivators around Wen Liang, apart from being too eye-catching and attracting the attention of our sect, the foundation-building evil cultivators may be difficult for Wen Liang to control. His subordinates are all Qi-refining cultivators. If so, Wen Liang's methods can make them bow to him and obey his orders, but if there are one or two evil cultivators who build the foundation, Wen Liang himself will be worried. Becoming an evil cultivator is the last choice for those people who have no choice but to step out of that. The first step is to abandon human relations and eliminate human nature. If such people, with such thoughts, have the cultivation of foundation, I am afraid it will be difficult for Wen Liang to restrain them. Wen Liang will definitely worry that he will be subjected to them. Backlash, so I think there must be no foundation-building evil cultivators among Wen Liang’s subordinates.”

Li Jian said via the interface:

"There is indeed a Foundation-Building monk beside Wen Liang. Do you remember, just before the big tide in Hanquan Valley, when we went to Hanquan Valley for the first time, we met Wen Liang and several people inspecting Hanquan Valley at night. One of them was Zhu. He is a monk, and he is also dressed like a Five Spirits monk."

Of course all five of them remembered this incident. It happened just before the big tide in Hanquan Valley. Because they suspected that someone would have various arrangements against Yan Shuang in Hanquan Valley, the five of them went to check it out in advance, but found nothing. In fact, it was not that there was no arrangement. , but the five of them went a little early, and that night they discovered that Wen Liang and others appeared in Hanquan Valley at night, and among them was a foundation-building monk. If Qian Chao hadn't arranged it in advance, " Hidden Spirit Array", then they would definitely be in danger at that time. It was precisely because of what he saw that night that Qian Chao was convinced that Wen Liang would definitely have something planned during the big tide in Hanquan Valley.

Tang Ping said:

"That person was indeed with Wen Liang at the time. I estimate that he should be a hidden pile buried by Wen Liang in the Wuling Sect. Therefore, he cannot be an evil cultivator, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago. Mr. Qian, we still have some things to figure out. , for example, during the big tide in Hanquan Valley, why did Lin Jian know Wen Liang's plan? Otherwise, he would not have sent his own people there while Wen Liang's people were besieging Yan Shuang. What Lin Jian wanted to do was to kill Yan Shuang and marry him at the same time. It’s Shangguan Hong’s fault. It’s hard to tell whether Lin Jian was taking advantage of Wen Liang or cooperating with Wen Liang. In any case, I doubt whether there is some relationship between Lin Jian and Wen Liang. Unfortunately, that guy Lin Jian has already Hiding. However, Wen Liang can still be so carefree. I suspect that he must have some special sources of information that allow him to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, I suspect that the foundation-building monk I saw that night was him hiding in The manpower within the sect.”

"I will definitely be able to recognize that person when I see him again," Li Jian said. "Also, Wen Liang lost these letters and Yan Jing also fled back. He must know this now, and he knows that we were also involved. It's already considered I think it’s time to start the matter without delay. Tomorrow we should set off back to the sect and hand over all these things to Senior Tang.”

Qian Chao nodded and said:

"That's right. Brother Zuo also said that he will leave Ruixuan Town tomorrow. But before he leaves, I am going to let him meet with Liu Feng. Maybe he will find something else or have something to ask for in the future. We can pass the news through Liu Feng."

Everyone nodded, and Qian Chao said again:

"I'm going to copy these letters and maps tonight. Maybe we can use them in the future."



After dawn, Zuo You woke up and prepared to leave Ruixuan Town today. He has gained a lot recently. Compared to ordinary casual cultivators, his net worth is considered rich. Now there is basically nothing to do here in Wuling Sect. His injury was almost healed, so he thought about replacing the human heads in his storage bag with piles of spiritual stones.

When he was saying goodbye, he met a stranger in Qian Chao's room. Qian Chao introduced him to Zuo You, calling him Liu Feng. He was also a friend of Qian Chao and others. He had a shop in Ruixuan Town. If Zuo You wants to find Qian Chao and others for something in the future, he can go to Liu Feng first, and then Liu Feng will naturally have a way to bring the news to Qian Chao and others.

Zuo You didn't know Liu Feng, but Liu Feng had heard of Zuo You. He didn't understand how Qian Chao and others got acquainted with this maverick casual cultivator. Although Liu Feng came from a noble family, the Liu family in Xuanzhou was really an inconspicuous little family. And because of Zuo You's reputation, he was polite in front of Zuo You. The two sides agreed that if Zuo You had anything to do, he would ask Qian Chao for help. Just go to Liu Feng's small shop in Ruixuan Town while you are waiting.

Afterwards, Zuo You said goodbye to everyone.

Qian Chao and the other five were also about to return to the Wuling Sect, but as soon as they left Ruixuan Town, someone caught up with them and stopped them. It was Tang Bonian's disciple Xu Sheng who was stationed at Chengming Tower in Ruixuan Town.

"Senior Brother Xu, are you going back to the sect?" Tang Ping asked.

Xu Sheng smiled and said:

"Haha, of course, but I mainly follow you guys when I go back this time. Master sent someone to deliver news, saying that you little guys are carrying some important things with you. Don't let anything happen on the way. Let me go all the way. I’ll escort you back.”

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, the five people naturally understood that Ma Hu must have brought the hook to Tang Bonian and told him what happened. Therefore, Tang Bonian arranged for Xu Sheng to escort the five people back.

(Author's note: The name Wen Liang has appeared for a long time, and he has never directly collided with Qian Chao. In the next chapter before the Chengguan Enexamination, the most exciting thing is Wen Liang's real plot against Qian Chao, and he wants to take Qian Chao away. Several people were put to death. Please read on, thank you.)
