On this day, in the fifth capital of Qianxing Palace, there was a tea stall in Sanxiufang City.
Xiang Shu wore a slovenly face as he drank tea calmly. From time to time, the laughter from other tea tables could be heard in his ears.
Everyone was talking about the battle in the Xuan Yin Sect three days ago.
This is the closest casual repair market to Xuanyin Sect, and it is also the market where Fengyue Sect’s search intensity is the smallest.
No one would have thought that the "Prince of Wanjian Sect" who had offended Fengyue Sect to death would be sitting on the side of the road openly at this moment, drinking tea leisurely.
Chize followed Jiang Yi.
But before leaving, she still sent a message to him to find out where he was trapped in the Demon King Valley.
That place was between Fangcunji and the outside world. It was a spatial mezzanine. No wonder Wei Lexheng took a trip and found nothing.
In the past, when she was in Fangcunji of Tianyan Sect, when she crushed her mask and ran away, she was pulled into an unknown space by Lu Yushan, which I guess was the mezzanine.
She had a vague idea of how to get in. But the premise is that she must sneak in without anyone noticing.
After sorting out my thoughts, I just finished drinking the pot of tea.
Xiang Shu threw the spirit stone at the table, stood up and sat down at another table.
Zhou Yuan, who had a grimace on his face, was startled when he saw someone suddenly appear at the table. Before he could ask a question, he heard Xiang Shen ask:
"My fellow Taoist, this outfit looks familiar. Could it be that he is a disciple of the legendary Fengyue Sect?"
When Zhou Yuan heard these words, he straightened his back subconsciously. Then he looked at his formal disciple's clothes, which were washed white, and squinted at the corner of his mouth: "Do you have good eyesight, can you recognize this?"
Xiang Shen sighed sadly, "I also participated in the selection of Fengyue Sect disciples when I was young. Why don't you remember? I'm just a low-grade spiritual person with an ordinary background. Even if I try my best, I still can't get into their door."
"Have you also participated in the disciple selection?"
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened and he seemed to find resonance with Xiang Shu.
Putting away his original perfunctory attitude, he showed a complicated expression and laughed at himself: "I'm luckier than you, I have a middle-grade spiritual root, and I was lucky enough to be selected, but what if I become a disciple of Fengyue Sect?"
He tugged on his sleeves and said, "Cultivating one's true nature, wealth is the most important thing, and wealth comes first. Without a good background, how difficult is it to practice with just the sect's monthly salary?
What's more, these large sects don't allow their disciples to fight among themselves, except for the dead, there are no taboos!
We ordinary disciples from the lower class are not even qualified to participate in the battle. We are just pawns sandwiched between the disciples of the big families. "
Zhou Yuan seemed to have been aggrieved for too long and vented his bitterness to Xiang Shuda.
Xiang Shu listened silently to the end, patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder gently, looked around carefully, and lowered his voice: "Fellow Taoist, you don't need to say much, I understand. It is precisely because of this that after seeing Friend Taoist, , I was touched in my heart, so I came here to send you a message."
Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, "What news?"
Xiang Shen smiled meaningfully, "What else could it be?"
Zhou Yuan reacted immediately, his eyes widened, "Fellow Taoist, you know..."
"Hush! Silence!"
Xiang Shu interrupted Zhou Yuan's words, carefully looked around again, and lowered his voice, "There are many people here, so let's change the place and talk in detail."
"well!"
Zhou Yuan stood up quickly and was about to leave when he hesitated again, "Fellow Taoist, are you a liar?"
Xiang Shen turned around and looked at Zhou Yuan in astonishment, with an angry look on his face: "Fellow Taoist, I remembered my childhood experience and kindly came here to remind you, but you actually look at me like this?!"
"No, no."
Seeing that he was angry, Zhou Yuan immediately panicked, "I was just asking casually."
"That's all."
Xiang Shen waved his sleeves coldly, "My Taoist friend's words are really chilling. You might as well look at yourself. Is there anything worth deceiving?"
When Zhou Yuan thought about this, he immediately said "Ouch" and stepped forward to grab Xiang Shu's arm, "Brother, I'm really confused, don't be angry. If this matter can be accomplished, the sect will reward me with a share of
Half of you...no! Seventy percent! "
Xiang Shen showed an expression of emotion, then immediately returned to normal, and said with an unnatural expression: "You said this yourself."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Zhou Yuan nodded hurriedly, but he was secretly happy in his heart. It seemed that this casual cultivator really had news about the Supreme Master of Wanjian Sect! Otherwise, how could he react like this when he mentioned the sect’s achievements?
For the sake of similar childhood experiences, I will only give him 30% of the reward when he accomplishes this feat.
But then I thought about it and couldn't help but change it from 30% to 10%.
10% is enough. If it were other disciples in the sect, let alone 10%, killing and silence would be considered light.
Thinking like this, the discomfort in Zhou Yuan's heart disappeared instantly, and he turned to urge Xiang Shu, "Brother, let's discuss it in detail quickly! If we let her run away, all our achievements will be in vain."
Xiang Shen smiled and said, "Follow me."
Zhou Yuan immediately followed him into the alleyway, going further and further away. He didn't notice anything strange at all.
Important news such as this is something that should not be leaked to the public. It should be said in a place where no one is around.
"Brother, this alleyway is deserted and almost no one will come here. Let's just talk here, shall we?"
Zhou Yuan couldn't bear his temper and urged again.
Xiang Shu, who was walking in front, paused and said, "This place is really good."
Zhou Yuan looked happy, and when he raised his head, he saw a slap that quickly enlarged in front of his eyes.
Snapped!
The force of this slap was so strong that Zhou Yuan felt as if he had hit his head against a rock. He rolled his eyes and fell to the ground and passed out.
After a while, Xiang Shu walked out of the alleyway with "Zhou Yuan" on his face, looked around, and walked quickly towards Tianqing Pavilion at the end of the street.
Due to the crowding out of the five major sects, Tianqing Pavilion's business has been affected to some extent, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still the number one business house in Dongzhou.
Therefore, when Xiang Shen came, he saw an endless stream of monks coming and going in front of Tianqing Pavilion, which was as lively as a hundred years ago.
She stepped across the threshold, and the boys in charge of reception immediately recognized her identity with sharp eyes, and greeted her enthusiastically: "Young Master Zhou, I am..."
"Without further ado!"
Xiang Shu had a depressed look on his face and interrupted the boy impatiently, "My master's token has been lost. I asked your stewards to bring one over. I have something urgent to return to the clan!"
"Yes, yes, I will go right now. Mr. Zhou, please go to the VIP room and wait for a while."
The boy responded repeatedly, turned around and left, but he felt contempt in his heart.
This Zhou Yuan was ostracized in the sect and dared not resist, and he vented his anger on their slaves. He was really a loser.
However, no matter how much contempt he felt in his heart, the boy didn't dare to be careful and just went to call the steward.
Xiang Shen had just sat down in the VIP room when a skinny old man with a goatee walked in with a smile, "What happened to Gaozu Zhou, are you so anxious?"
Xiang Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "This steward looks strange. Where is Steward Zheng?"
Zhou Yuan was very unintimidated and without much interrogation, he told everything that should be said and what should not be said. He also told the identity, appearance and conversation details of the stewards he came into contact with in Tianqing Pavilion.
Looking at the appearance of the man in front of him, it is obviously not consistent with the "big figure" Manager Zheng.
The old man with the goatee chuckled and said, "Manager Zheng is out for business and will come back in two days. My surname is Duan and he is also one of the stewards of this pavilion. If you have anything to do, Master Zhou, just give me your instructions."
Manager Duan kept his attitude very low, and his friendly and win-win attitude was obvious.
Xiang Shu snorted, "Where is the token I want?"
Steward Duan's expression suddenly became sluggish, he coughed dryly and said, "Steward Zheng is in charge of the tokens in the pavilion here, and I have no right to interfere, but..."
He was afraid of being angry with Shen, so he immediately changed the subject, "As the steward of Tianqing Pavilion, I also have the right to open a space passage into Fangcunji, and can also take one person through.
Zhou Gaozu looks anxious, why don't I take you there now? No matter where you go, villains can open the door for convenience. "
Xiang Shu frowned when he heard this.
She needed a token to open the mezzanine of Fang Cun Ji. Zhou Yuan's token was in harmony with his soul. She had just tried to forcibly remove that layer of connection, and Tianqing Pavilion would know about it immediately.
Therefore, she could only come here to deceive him and ask for a new token.
I never thought that something unexpected would happen at this easiest step.
"Why doesn't Zhou Gaozu say anything?"
Manager Duan frowned slightly, showing suspicion, "Weren't you very anxious just now?"
Xiang Shen immediately calmed down and said coldly: "I'm just thinking about something. Since you are willing to help, why don't you lead the way?"
With the arrow on the string, she could only go in first and then find a way to obtain the token.
"It's the villain who talks too much."
Manager Duan quickly smiled and said, "Master Zhou, please come with me."
Xiang Shu didn't say anything and followed Manager Duan directly.
Manager Duan used extraordinary means to win over people's hearts. He seemed to have a guilty conscience and chose to walk in unoccupied aisles.
After turning several aisles in succession, the two came to a quiet room.
Manager Duan closed the door tightly, took out a light blue jade stone from his arms and threw it into the air. It exploded, and a blue vortex slowly spun out.
"alright."
Manager Duan turned around and licked his face and smiled, "Zhou Gaozu, I will go in first, and you will follow."
"knew."
Xiang Shen waved his hand impatiently, but felt something was wrong in his heart.
But thinking carefully about the whole story, she has not shown any flaws so far. If there was no flaw, who would be so full that he could scheme against an ordinary Feng Yue Sect disciple?
Seeing Manager Duan step in, the transmission channel gradually narrowed.
Xiang Shu had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and step into the teleportation vortex first.
After he stepped into it, the vortex seemed to have consumed the last bit of power, completely annihilated and disappeared.
Not long after the whirlpool disappeared, Manager Zheng stood in the VIP room holding a brand new token lock, looking at each other with the boy who came with him.
"You said Zhou Yuan is here, where is the person?!"
Manager Zheng pointed at the empty VIP room and asked sharply.
The boy was so frightened that he knelt down without saying a word, his face full of fear and confusion, and he quickly excused himself:
"Young man... I really received Mr. Zhou! I don't know why he disappeared. Please be careful. Even if you give me 10,000 courages, I won't dare to lie to you!"
Manager Zheng frowned and felt puzzled.
Although Zhou Yuan is a disciple of Fengyue Sect, he has a weak and fearful character, so he would never let him go.
"Did...something happen?"
Manager Zheng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately reacted: "Quick, send someone secretly to find Zhou Yuan.
If you can't find him, you will pretend that you have never received Zhou Yuan today, do you understand? If you dare to miss even half a word, I will take your head! "
The boy's face turned pale, sweating like raindrops, and he nodded hurriedly: "I understand, little man!"
