This day is undoubtedly a busy one for Qian Chao.
Just when Shangguan Hong fainted and Shangguan Xiu was in a hurry, Qian Chao was not idle either.
Although Chao Zhu promised to tell him the information he found, and although Tang Bonian also promised to inquire more about the Jing family and the Zong family these days, Qian Chao also has his own eyes and ears in the sect, and they are very good. Guy, so Qian Chao must inquire about the news first no matter what.
Cai Jian and Qian Chao were sitting across the table from each other at this time. This senior brother Cai was introduced to Qian Chao by Ma Hu. Now he and Qian Chao are old acquaintances for many years. He has gained some weight recently, which makes His originally small head looked bigger because of the bulging of his cheeks. However, this did not make his appearance appear more plump. On the contrary, it amplified the wretchedness in his face. In addition, he His cultivation has improved a lot compared to when he first met Qian Chao.
This Senior Brother Cai still has no disciples so far. It is estimated that when he reaches Foundation Establishment, no senior from Jiuxuan will be able to take a fancy to him and accept him as a disciple. Cai Jian has given up hope for this, but what? , Qian Chao has already given a Haiyun jade lamp to Cai Jian, which means that Cai Jian's foundation building has been guaranteed, so Cai Jian will work for Qian Chao and others wholeheartedly out of gratitude.
The reason why Qian Chao brought Cai Jian here was to ask him how much he knew about Zong Cheng. After all, Cai Jian was famous for inquiring about such romantic affairs in the sect. Since he was inquiring about a woman, then It must be good to find him.
After hearing what Qian Chao said, Cai Jian was shocked. He didn't expect that what Qian Chao was asking about was Zong Cheng, the daughter of the Zong family, and it was also related to Jing Lu, the Jing family. He immediately realized that this matter must not be After mentioning it to the outside world, after thinking about it for a while, Cai Jian said:
"Junior Brother Qian wants to inquire about Zong Cheng, well, the best place to do it is with me. But I feel very confused after hearing what Junior Brother Qian said. Zong Cheng and Jing Lu, Junior Brother Qian, is this possible?"
Qian Chao said:
"Hasn't Senior Brother Cai heard a few words about these two people?"
"Hehe, Junior Brother Qian, if ordinary male and female disciples have feelings for each other and even say that something shouldn't happen, I will definitely be able to find out the news, but Zongcheng and Jinglu, they are both The big dudes in the sect rarely come into contact with ordinary disciples like us. They are really just like the young ladies in the high-walled courtyard. You rarely see them once a year. They have their own small circle and are very closed. , let alone Junior Brother Qian, I can't even sneak into their circle. As for the news between them, it is rarely revealed. Junior Brother Qian, where did you get this news? Yes, is it reliable?"
Qian Chao said calmly:
"The information is absolutely reliable."
Cai Jian was very sensible. When Qian Chao said this, he knew that the source of the news must be unusual. Naturally, he would not ask who told Qian Chao the news, but began to think about everything he knew about Zong Cheng. , while thinking about it, he said:
"Junior brother Qian, Jing Lu is a very low-key person. It seems that Jing Lu is the most outstanding junior among the Jing clan in the sect. That's all I know. Well... after all, he is not a woman, so I care about him. Just a little less. However, I do know some things about Zong Cheng, so I will tell Junior Brother Qian what I know, and I will inquire about anything else Junior Brother Qian wants to know."
"good."
"First of all, Junior Brother Qian, you said that Zong Cheng and Jing Lu have vowed to each other for life. To be honest, I don't believe it."
"Oh, why is that?" Qian Chao asked curiously.
"It's very simple, well, although I don't know much about Jinglu, but based on my understanding of Zong Cheng, she is definitely not the kind of person who can make a lifelong commitment to someone. Junior Brother Qian, you also know that I am here What kind of news are you most interested in in the sect? I won’t hide it from Junior Brother Qian. In the sect for so many years, although there are not one or two women who like me, I know a lot about women. In my opinion, this woman Well, it can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is that as long as you have the man you love, all you can think about is that man. This is actually a bit abnormal and it goes to the extreme. She will do anything for that man. Such a woman Although there are few, there are some ready-made examples, such as Mei Qing in Qixia Mountain's "Mei Min Shuangshu". After she fell in love with Cao Ze, she was obsessed with Cao Ze. Even if Cao Ze died, there would be no one left. It can make Mei Qing empathize, alas, I still feel sorry for Cheng Qantang at this point; the second category is more rational, they have others and themselves in their hearts, and they are in a balanced state. Such women are the most common, eh , Let's take the "Mei Min Shuang Shu" as an example. Min'e is the second type of woman. She is worried about others pretending to be her. Once she finds that her efforts will be in vain, no matter how reluctant she is to give up, She would also bear the pain and get away. Alas, at this point, she still has to feel sorry for Cheng Quntang. Min'e was completely infatuated with him at the beginning, but Cheng Qantang's thoughts are still with Mei Qing. When Min'e saw this, she could only I retreated sadly, but I didn’t expect that this would actually help Xiao Xian, alas!”
What Cai Jian said were all things Qian Chao knew. After listening, he nodded and felt sorry for his senior brother Cheng.
Cai Jian continued:
"This third category of women is the other extreme. Such women can only tolerate themselves and not others. As long as it is for their own benefit, they will do anything unscrupulous or even have no bottom line. Junior Brother Qian has often been When in contact with Feng You, the women around Feng You can all be regarded as this third category of women. For their own sake, they don't care what others think of them, and they won't hesitate to lose their reputation even if they hang out with Feng You. Together, but not for Feng You, just to get the benefits you want from Feng You. Well, in addition to the women around Feng You, this girl Zong Cheng is actually such a person, Of course, classifying this daughter of the Zong family in this way is a bit disrespectful, but her unscrupulous ways of doing things are no different from those beautiful women around Feng You. Well, among the women in the sect, this girl Zong Cheng is definitely the best The previous beauty was not inferior to the 'Mei Min Shuang Shu'. Coupled with her background, she became the target of admiration and pursuit by many disciples in the sect. In the past, many people did not hesitate just to make her smile. He risked his life, but it could only make her smile. In Cai's view, what this Zong girl wanted was not to find a man by her side, she just enjoyed being pursued by many people. It felt like, for this reason, she did not hesitate to play those people around, but she would never be tempted by anyone. Maybe no one could catch Zong Cheng's eyes, or maybe in her heart, no one in the world could be worthy of her. Alas, some people did lose their lives for her earlier. Hum, I didn’t hear that this Zong girl was even remotely sad! In addition, Cai also knew that this Zong girl was a very calm and thoughtful person. , the descendants of the Zong family and the Jing family can never form a Taoist couple, she must know this well, and she will definitely not disobey it. But Junior Brother Qian said that she and Jing Lu have a private life-long commitment, well, there must be something in this reason."
This was the first time Qian Chao had an understanding of Zong Cheng’s character. Hearing this, Qian Chao also thought that the matter between Zong Cheng and Jing Lu was indeed suspicious. Who was Cai Jian? Although his cultivation methods were not very good, he asked He is an expert in news, especially private matters between men and women. Asking him to analyze a difficult matter may not be his specialty, but asking him to talk about a certain woman's personality and past, then This is what Cai Jian is good at, so after listening to Cai Jian's words, Qian Chao felt even more that Jing Lu was being used. On the surface, it seemed that he was being used by Zong Cheng, but was there someone behind Zong Cheng?
This is what we need to continue to investigate next.
…
While Qian Chao was talking to Cai Jian, there was some excitement in Tang Bonian's cave.
In addition to Tang Bonian, there are also Fairy Guhuo, Senior Kang Fu, Fairy Lengyue and Fairy Zhong Yao here, all of whom came here after being invited by Tang Bonian.
When others still had questions about why Tang Bonian invited everyone together, Fairy Guhuo had already vaguely guessed what Tang Bonian was going to say, and she glared at Tang Bonian angrily, which made Tang Bonian angry. Tang Bonian felt that he didn't have any confidence in his heart, but after all, he had promised Tang Ping, and he couldn't break his promise, so he bit the bullet and invited them all over.
"Uh, everyone," Tang Bonian said, "I invite you here because there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Kang Fu knew Tang Bonian best, so he said straightforwardly.
"Well, before I say anything, please take a look at this."
After speaking, Tang Bonian took out a storage bag and handed it to Fairy Guhuo. There was no need to take out the contents, just open it and take a look. Fairy Guhuo saw at a glance that it was inside the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. The two most powerful guys, the dead Arrow Pig and the Horntail Bird, each had a pecked wound on their head at this time. Needless to say, the two high-pitched weapons that Ah Jiu showed her The demon pill was dug out from there. As for this storage bag, Tang Ping and Qian Chao came to him in the morning and left it behind.
After seeing it, Fairy Guhuo threw the storage bag to Kang Fu.
Kang Fu took one look and said loudly:
"Hey, why are these two guys dead? The demon pills were all taken away."
After Kang Fu finished reading it, he handed it to Fairy Leng Yue next to him.
After hearing what Kang Fu said, Fairy Guhuo said:
"I know the whereabouts of their demon pills. They are on my Ah Jiu. After a while, when she is ready, she will swallow the demon pills and absorb all the spiritual energy in them."
Fairy Lengyue was a little surprised when she saw the dead arrow pig and trumpet bird inside, but she was even more surprised when she heard Fairy Guhuo's words. She handed the storage bag to Fairy Zhong Yao and said:
"What's going on? Why have the most powerful guys in Thousand Needles Pine Forest been eliminated?"
After seeing this, Fairy Zhong Yao even asked:
"Is Senior Sister Guhuo's Ah Jiu injured? These two guys are very powerful?"
Fairy Guhuo shook her head and said helplessly:
"No, not only was he not injured, but he also went very smoothly when getting rid of these two guys. Alas, old man..."
Of course, this old guy was scolding Tang Bonian, so Fairy Guhuo said angrily:
"What do you mean by this today? Are these things caused by that girl Tang Ping again?"
Tang Bonian smiled awkwardly and said:
"Oh, there's no other way. That girl is too cumbersome. I can't be bothered anymore, so I invited a few of you here. But the final decision is still in your hands."
"What on earth is going on?" Kang Fu asked.
"Humph, what else can happen," Fairy Guhuo said, "It must be that girl Tang Ping who is causing trouble. They felt itchy when they saw Qian Chao entering the forbidden area alone. These 80% are the methods used by those children to gag us. .”
"Senior Sister Guhuo, I still don't quite understand." Fairy Leng Yue said.
"Alas, the Arrow Pig and the Xiaoxiao Bird were indeed killed by my Ah Jiu, but Ah Jiu had been trying to plot these two guys before but could not succeed. According to Ah Jiu herself, she had She was sure to get rid of these two guys, but she would definitely be seriously injured, so she never made a move. Later, when Qian Chao's child wanted to enter the forbidden area, Ah Jiu secretly found Qian Chao. They conspired to let Qian Chao Chao arranged a formation in the forbidden area to trap and weaken the Arrow Swallow and the Horn Bird, and then Ah Jiu took action to kill them. No, we all saw the bodies of those two guys, and I also got them from Ah Jiu's hands. I saw the demon pills of these two guys, which means that their plan was successful. However, these little guys must have used their brains on this basis. I guess Old Man Tang must have wanted to invite us all here today. Convince us to nod and allow those children to enter the forbidden area, right, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Bonian smiled awkwardly.
Fairy Lengyue still didn't quite understand, so she asked:
"What does the two guys that Ah Jiu got rid of have to do with the other people entering the forbidden area?"
Tang Bonian said hurriedly:
"Haha, that's it. What Tang Yatou means is that in the forbidden area they are going to next, Qian will first go in and trap the most powerful guy inside, then Ah Jiu will kill him, and finally they will all enter together. In the forbidden area.”
Fairy Zhong Yao said:
"But, then the forbidden area is still full of mid-level monsters?"
"Oh, don't forget that they have been to Shouwo Mountain. How did they get in to Shouwo Mountain? As long as the most powerful monsters are eliminated in the rest of the forbidden areas, they will do the same thing again." Fairy Guhuo said.
After listening to this, Kang Fu patted his thigh and said:
"Hey, this is a good idea! I think it works!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was given a blank look by Fairy Guhuo.
