Master Kongji turned his head and looked at the little novice monk next to him, then looked at Qingyang and Pi Youfeng in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your disciple Qingyang is not bad at all. He looks smart and smart, so he must be the best." Do you want the true biography of Songhe Lao Dao? And this little girl from the Pi family, I’m afraid her abilities shouldn’t be underestimated.”
Everyone is a figure in the world of Xiping Mansion, and they know each other more or less, but they rarely have the opportunity to get together. After everyone exchanged a few words, Old Taoist Songhe finally asked the doubts in his heart and said: "What day is today? How come everyone gathered at my Xiping Temple?"
Xiping Temple is located in a remote place. In the past ten days and a half, no outsider could be seen. Today, people came up the mountain one after another. Even Master Kongji, who usually meditates in the temple and rarely goes out, came. This fact is really abnormal. Master Songhe is also a person in the world, but he has never heard of any major events that have happened recently. After listening to Master Songhe, Master Kongji was even more confused than him, and said: "Didn't you send me the invitation? Why don't you yourself? clear?"
"The invitation I sent out?" Old Taoist Songhe asked doubtfully.
No, why don’t I remember? But looking at Master Kongji’s appearance, all this seems to be true. Old Taoist Songhe scratched his head. Could it be that he had drunk too much in the past few days and did it in a daze? Or maybe I have gotten older in the past two years and suffered from amnesia? Then you shouldn’t have no impression at all, right?
At this time, Qian Banxian also said: "I also came here for the appointment after receiving an invitation from Master Songhe. I didn't expect to meet this person named Du on the way. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have come."
At this time, Old Taoist Songhe was completely speechless. If Master Kongji alone made a mistake, it would still be possible. Even Qian Banxian said so, and it was most likely true. They must have received their own invitations, but it's hard to say whether they sent them themselves.
There was something fishy about this matter, and everyone turned their attention to the Pi family and his daughter, wanting to see if they had received the invitation like Master Kongji and Qian Banxian.
Being watched by so many people at the same time, Pi Yingxiong's expression became a little unnatural, and he said: "I'm not here for an appointment, but someone wants to buy a trained civet cat. In addition to double the price, let me deliver it to you." Xipingguan, so my daughter and I came here."
Du Chengjin, the last one left, didn't need to ask questions and said directly: "I didn't receive any invitations, but someone told me that Qian Banxian would appear at Xiping Temple in the next two days. At that time, I wanted to tear myself apart. After meeting him, I naturally came over as soon as possible, and then I blocked Qian Banxian halfway."
For an outsider like Master Kongji, it is difficult to get him to go out by ordinary methods. Only the invitation of his old friend Songhe Laodao can bring him here; Qian Banxian is the closest to here, and he and Songhe Laodao are half the same. , it’s natural to use the name Songhe Laotao; and the Pi family’s father and daughter have no friendship with Songhe, and only business can allow him to go there in person; as for Du Chengjin, he has been looking for money and half-immortals like crazy recently, so he used money and half-immortals to make him go Bringing him here is definitely the easiest way.
For these four families, different methods were used, and they were all very targeted methods. If you are not familiar with them, you will definitely not be able to do it. If you think about it carefully, this is a bit scary. Who did this? What is the purpose? Will it be detrimental to everyone?
I don't know what he thought of, but Qian Banxian couldn't help but trembled and said: "Master Songhe, you don't think there is any conspiracy in this, right?"
Du Chengjin also said: "Yes, the more I think about it, the more scary it becomes."
Master Songhe was still thinking about the strangeness of the matter. Master Kongji also pondered for a long time without saying anything. Only Pi Yingxiong didn't seem to care at all, saying: "What conspiracy can there be in broad daylight? Even if there is a conspiracy, everyone Don’t be afraid, most of the top experts in our Xiping Mansion are gathered here, including Master Songhe and Master Kongji. Who dares to provoke us casually?”
When Pi Yingxiong said this, Du Chengjin breathed a sigh of relief, but Qian Banxian said: "That's not necessarily the case. Since the other party dared to deceive everyone, he must have been fully prepared. Maybe he had already prepared it. How about a special way to deal with a few of us? Not to mention that people are separated from each other, who can guarantee that there are no spies and spies of the other party here? "
Hearing what Qian Banxian said, there was a layer of estrangement between the two people who were originally sympathetic to each other because of this incident. Yes, as the saying goes, you can't have the intention to harm others, and you can't have the intention to guard against others. Especially Du Chengjin, his legs were shaking with fear. Looking around, everyone looked like a villain with hidden evil intentions.
Everyone present was a senior, and it was not Qingyang’s turn to speak. Seeing that everyone was getting more and more wary, and no one trusted anyone, the young Taoist priest Qingyang had no choice but to interrupt: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth, no matter what the matter is." There is no conspiracy, and it is useless to say anything else. The most important thing now is to find out who did this and what conspiracy is involved, so that we can be prepared."
Qingyang's words seemed to be very reassuring, and Du Chengjin quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, Master Songhe is still a wise disciple."
At this time, Master Songhe said: "Although this matter is strange, there are still some rules to follow. Although the other party deceived everyone in different ways, the ultimate goal is to come to Xiping to watch. Since everyone is here, what happened behind the scenes? The owner should show up soon, right?"
Master Kongji nodded, gently stroked his beard, and said: "This weird behavior is very similar to the Tiger Gang in Kaiyuan Mansion!"
Kaiyuan Mansion is also a city under Liangzhou. It is close to Xiping Mansion and has many contacts with each other. However, the underworld in Kaiyuan Mansion is not as peaceful as Xiping Mansion, and private battles are fierce. Especially in the past ten years, a new Tiger Gang has emerged in Kaiyuan Mansion. They act domineeringly, have strange styles, and are powerful. They soon dominate the entire Kaiyuan Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the Tiger Gang is still not satisfied. Recently, they have set their sights on the territory of Xiping Prefecture, which is closest to them. They have repeatedly tested this area in the past two years, which has made the people in Xiping Prefecture feel even more pressure. If it is said that this matter was done by the Tiger Gang, it is very possible.
Hearing Master Kongji mention the Tiger Gang in Kaiyuan Mansion, others suddenly became enlightened. Du Chengjin said: "The Tiger Gang has been eyeing our territory in Xiping Mansion. Could it be that they have finally made plans to attack Xiping Mansion. This time they are preparing Gather us all together and catch them all?”
"Then aren't we people in danger of a disaster?" Qian Banxian said tremblingly.
