Chapter 129 [The man behind the scenes hides in the sect]
Around midnight the next day, the Daoxiang Village group was ready to leave. Wei Wu, who was the most seriously injured, recovered. Although he could not interact with others or carry heavy objects for the time being, there was still no problem in following the team.
While Wei Wu was recuperating, Ge Xian served as the leader of the martial arts masters of Daoxiang Village. No one doubted this. His strength had already been recognized by everyone. However, Ge Xian only said that he would not be the leader of the martial arts for a long time and would only serve as Wei Wu while he was recovering from his injuries. This made some people admire him quite a bit and thought that he was not greedy for power.
With Peng Yue's waist card, he was immediately allowed to pass the Tianmu Sect checkpoint on the mountain, which shows Peng Yue's high status in the Tianmu Sect.
Soon, in half a day, Daoxiang Village arrived halfway up the back mountain of Tianmu Sect. There was a large-scale warehouse here, which almost hollowed out half of Tianmu Peak. It stored a large amount of various materials and cultivation resources. Lingmi Just one of them.
Ge Xian originally thought that since they took Peng Yue's badge and set off so early, they should be considered very early, but when they arrived in front of the receiving warehouse, he saw, oh, good guy, there are already more than a dozen teams waiting in line.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Wujin Village didn't suffer any losses this time. There were actually ten carts of spiritual rice." Wei Wu came up and introduced the situation of other teams to Ge Xian. His face was still a little pale. Excessive blood loss is not so good. It is supplementary, especially the essence and blood of a warrior is even more precious.
Except for Wujin Village and Daoxiang Village, the teams escorting the spiritual rice this time all had the full amount of ten carts of spiritual rice, more than 20,000 kilograms, in previous years. The rest of the teams had dropped significantly.
Statistics after harvesting grain showed that Daoxiang Village won the first place with 22,345 kilograms, ahead of Wujin Village with 22,176 kilograms. When we reached the third place, we suddenly fell down, with only more than 10,000 kilograms. After that, there were many thousands of kilograms. The smallest team, only over a thousand kilograms, almost fell below 1,000 kilograms.
It can be said that this beast tide has had a great impact on the mortal villages within a hundred miles of Tianmu Sect. The villages that can hand over spiritual rice at this time are already considered to be strong. The other villages that have not come, don't look forward to it too much. It is estimated that the total number may not be as many as the teams in front of me.
However, after all, it has not officially ended yet, so Daoxiang Village is not yet worthy of being number one, and needs to spend more time in Tianmu Sect.
At this time, the village chief, Ge Xian and Wei Wu were all invited to the reception place set up by the Tianmu Sect for them. Of course, in addition to them, there were also several people from Wujin Village.
The head of Wujin Village is a young man, a middle-aged man in his forties. He is very strong and strong, but his spiritual power is not well controlled. He always has an aggressive aura that makes people feel oppressed. It looks like he has practiced his foreign martial arts to the extreme.
"Wu Shan has met Village Chief Wei and Brother Wei. Who is this?" It seems that the village chief has some friendship with the people in Daoxiang Village, except for Ge Xian, a stranger.
Village Chief Wei signaled Wei Wu to introduce Ge Xian, and Wei Wu coughed and said, "Brother Wu, this is the new leader of our Daoxiang Village. His name is Ge Xian. Although he is young, he is very powerful. He belongs to our village." patron saint."
"Oh?" Wu Shan was just curious that Ge Xian could be together with Wei Chengwen and Wei Wu at such a young age. He didn't expect that he would be praised so highly.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then introduced the two people beside him as a man and woman.
"The two of them are also the newly promoted martial commanders of our Wujin Village, and they are also a couple. The orthodox leader is named Wujie, and the deputy commander is named Ouna. They are both heroes of the tribe who stand out in the fight against the beast tide. When the time comes, they can Have a discussion with your new commander." Wu Shan laughed heartily, and his character seemed very upright.
The couple Wu Jie and Wu Na were only in their thirties, which was actually quite young, but compared to Ge Xian, they still looked old.
"I heard that Daoxiang Village was robbed while escorting Lingmi this time, but an outstanding archer appeared in your team, and he just relied on his extraordinary archery to kill the most famous one among them, Heyang Village. The martial arts commander, Luo Chen, caused all the gangsters to flee in panic. Could it be you?" Wu Jie looked at Ge Xian and couldn't help but think of the mysterious master of Daoxiang Village whom he had heard about in the past few days, and wanted to ask for proof.
Ge Xian looked at him and saw that he had no intention of provoking, so he smiled calmly and said: "It's just a rumor in the world. Luo Chen just died in our ambush. It turns out that man's name was Luo Chen, and he was from Heyang Village. Commander, no wonder there were so many villages carrying corpses to settle accounts with us yesterday, it seems they haven’t killed enough!”
After saying these words, Wushan, Wujie, and Oona all immediately had expressions on their faces, and they clearly felt uneasy.
Although Ge Xian has suffered the consequences of killing too much, he will never tie his hands and feet because of this. No matter what world he is in, honest people will not live long.
When the village chief and Wei Wu saw this, they didn't take it seriously. They were escorting Lingmi this time and were provoked by four evil men yesterday. They finally understood that someone was going to target Daoxiang Village, but they didn't know if this person had anything to do with the Tianmu Sect. relation.
The reception place was a garden, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. Many flowers and trees were unrecognizable, just like a fairyland.
Boom!
As the sound of drums came, Ge Xian, Wu Shan and others saw two rows of women wearing translucent gauze skirts, their faces covered with veils, curling up.
There were about ten women, five in each row, and there were exactly six of them, with positions on the left and right sides.
Ge Xian sits at the bottom on the left, Wei Wu is in the middle, and the village chief sits at the top. Correspondingly, the village chief faced Wu Shan, Wei Wu faced Wu Jie, and Ge Xian faced Wu Na.
Oona was pretty. She was simply wrapped in a short robe. Her thighs were white and her wrists and ankles were set off by circles of golden jewelry, which made her look uniquely charming.
Ge Xian noticed that this woman looked at him with a hint of charm, and even toasted him on purpose. Her body movements were quite revealing.
"How dare she do it in front of her husband..." Ge Xian looked at Wu Jie casually, but found that he seemed to turn a blind eye and didn't care at all about his wife's "outrageous" behavior.
"There's something weird!" Ge Xian immediately stopped looking at the woman, but the woman went too far. She actually left her seat and came to Ge Xian. The village chief and Wei Wu also noticed the weirdness and spoke out. He tried to dissuade him, but was stopped by Wu Shan and Wu Jie.
When Ge Xian saw Oona wantonly sitting on his lap, almost wantonly, he suddenly used his strength from the air to push her back. However, she fell to the ground and deliberately tore her clothes to pieces. , seems very exposed.
Boom!
Wujie slammed the table, pointed at Ge Xian and cursed: "You are a thief, you dare to molest my wife under my nose, you and I are at odds today."
"The new martial arts leader of Daoxiang Village turns out to be a lecherous and shameless person. It's really disgusting." Wu Shan then cursed.
Village Chief Wei and Wei Wu glanced at each other, knowing that the other party must have done this on purpose, but using such a clumsy strategy to target them and Ge Xian?
At this time, the Tianmu Sect women who were responsible for entertaining everyone stepped aside, and then there was a sound of footsteps. Ge Xian continued to drink calmly, knowing that this was the real owner.
More than ten outer disciples of the Tianmu Sect filed in. They were all surrounded by typical gray robes and white long sleeves. Finally, a man in a dark blue robe and long sleeves walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Senior Brother Lu!" These outer disciples all shouted respectfully. The man nodded, then looked at Ge Xian and others, no, to be precise, he looked at Ge Xian.
Village Chief Wei and Wei Wu were both shaken, and there was a hint of gloom on their faces. When Ge Xian saw it, he had some concerns in his heart.
Seeing that Ge Xian was still pouring himself a drink, the man frowned and opened his mouth to spit out his breath.
This burst of energy was like a bullet, but in the end it was blocked by a chopstick.
Yes, I don’t know when Ge Xian threw a chopstick, but now the chopsticks blocked the energy. Although the chopsticks were crushed, the opponent’s energy also dissipated. A tie?
"Bold!" The outer disciples of the Tianmu Sect pulled out their daggers and pointed at Ge Xian, and the maids ran away from behind the curtain.
Oona was also a little stunned at this time, and even forgot the slanderous lines she had memorized before.
When the three people in Wujin Village saw that Ge Xian dared to fight directly against the disciples of the Tianmu Sect, they were immediately frightened by his courage.
Village Chief Wei and Wei Wu both had worried looks in their eyes, but Ge Xian still drank calmly.
"Aren't you afraid that this wine will be poisoned?" The man sneered, and his words suddenly caused the expressions of several people around him to change.
"It doesn't matter!" But Ge Xian's answer made the people around him refresh their understanding again. They didn't expect that there are people who are not afraid of being poisoned. Could it be that they are born immune to all poisons?
"Master Immortal, why is this so? We are just here to hand over the spiritual rice." The village chief couldn't help but say.
Wei Wu also raised his hand and said: "This is Ge Xian, the leader of the new martial arts master in this village. He is very capable and stopped hundreds of robbers on the road. He was able to hand over the spirit rice on time. He has made great contributions and asked the immortal master to show his respect."
"However, what I heard was another theory. It was said that your Daoxiang Village robbed the spiritual rice of other villages and killed many of their martial arts masters. Only then could you gather enough spiritual rice. Otherwise, this year's beast tide would be devastating. , how can it be possible to pay the full amount?" The man said in a strange tone.
The village chief and Wei Wu both felt so angry that they wanted to laugh. It turned out that the rumor could really become a fact. Unexpectedly, those despicable people spread it through word of mouth, and then used the public's support to create this extreme situation. Unreasonable and "extremely reasonable" facts.
Originally, the village chief and Wei Wu planned to hand over the materials of the three armored beasts, but now they dare not. Even the spiritual rice they worked so hard to save has been questioned. If they give out the materials of the monster beasts again, it will be even more difficult. Know how rumors will spread.
"So?" Ge Xian finally put down his wine glass, raised his head and looked at this person.
"Daoxiang Village is suspected of intercepting and robbing spiritual rice. It needs to be strictly investigated. Don't even think about leaving Tianmu Sect." This person laughed loudly, looking even more proud.
Ge Xian stood up and immediately made the man take a step back, almost subconsciously.
"So, Wujin Village also intercepted teams from all over the place and captured the spiritual rice?" Ge Xian suddenly looked at Wushan and the other two people, which frightened them. They did not expect that the gun would suddenly fall on them.
That Tianmu Sect disciple was obviously not an ordinary disciple. It could be seen from the uniform of the sect that it was obviously a level above the gray uniform that represented the outer disciples. If he guessed correctly, he should be an inner disciple.
He remembered that the village chief said that there was an outer disciple of Tianmu Sect who wanted to take Wei Gu as a cauldron so that he could collect yin and replenish yang. Could it be that this person had already been promoted?
"That's right, Master Han Xian. Since there are widespread rumors in the outside world that our Daoxiang Village robbed spiritual rice by interception and killing, then Wujin Village, like us, has also turned over the full amount and should also be strictly investigated." The village chief immediately caught Ge Xian's reminder. of this vulnerability.
Wei Wu echoed: "Please treat Master Han equally and restore Daoxiang Village's innocence."
"Unbridled!" The man immediately rolled his sleeves angrily and continued: "I have my own reasons. No robbers intercepted or killed anyone in Wujin Village during this trip, and no other villages complained to us. It's you who have many doubts. , come here, get it for me."
A figure suddenly bumped into him. The man sneered, hoping that the other person would jump over the wall and slap him away with his palm.
His palm was not simple. In the eyes of others, it was just a light palm, but in fact, with the blessing of spiritual power, it weighed more than ten thousand kilograms.
Seeing that Ge Xian was seeking death, the other party became even more cruel and wanted to kill Ge Xian on the spot.
Bang!
Under the collision of a tyrannical force, Master Han's confident palm failed to achieve the expected results. Instead, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and then his neck was pinched by Ge Xian.
Just one move!
At this time, everyone vaguely knew that Ge Xian's power was beyond the limits that ordinary people could reach. He could capture the inner disciples of the Tianmu Sect with one move, and his strength was extraordinary.
"You...who are you?" Han Xianshi looked horrified, never expecting that the opponent's strength was so terrifying.
The power of the palm just now was almost reversed by Ge Xian. Nothing happened to the other party, but he was seriously injured.
It was also the first time for the surrounding outer disciples to encounter this situation. They did not expect that such a powerful and powerful person would appear among mortals. They only knew how to threaten loudly but did not dare to take any action.
When Han Tianfang fell into the hands of Ge Xian, he didn't feel too desperate at first. After all, he was not a mortal, but an immortal with powerful spells. But soon, he found that his spiritual power was imprisoned by the opponent, and he could no longer use it. With a little spiritual power, he is like a mortal at this moment. No, without spiritual power, he is not even as good as a mortal. His boxing and kicking skills are not worth mentioning at all.
The commotion here quickly broke out, and then, auras filled the air, and even Elder Peng Yue appeared.
"What's going on? Why did it happen like this?" Peng Yue was very annoyed when he saw the scene in front of him. He had given his badge to Daoxiangcun and others. Why were they still making trouble?
Village Chief Wei immediately stepped forward, humbly bent down and roughly recounted what had just happened. Wei Wu did not dare to speak at this time, as he did not have the right to speak here.
As for Ge Xian, he pushed Han Tianfang to the Tianmu Sect disciples and stood up straight, waiting for Elder Peng's treatment.
There were also several elders who came this time. These people were much stronger than Han Tianfang. They were at least in the middle stage of Xiantian, and even in the late stage of Xiantian and the peak of Xiantian. However, the supreme powerhouse did not appear.
"Han Tianfang, since you accused Daoxiang Village of having the spiritual rice handed over from a shady origin, do you have any evidence?" Peng Yue asked someone to bring Han Tianfang over. At this time, he saw that he didn't have any spiritual power in his body, and he was filled with shock.
"Uncle Master...I...I received many complaints from village chiefs. They all accused Daoxiang Village of intercepting their village's escort team on the way, robbing their spiritual rice, and killing many of their martial arts masters. That's why I came out to preside over Fair." Han Tianfang still had a stubborn tone at this time.
Peng Yue looked at him and saw that his eyes were dazed, so he knew that he was lying. He smiled and said, "I'm talking about evidence. Do you have it?"
"Uncle Master, aren't those witnesses? This is the person who killed the martial artist. He also tried to kill me to provoke our Tianmu Sect." Han Tianfang pointed at Ge Xian and said.
Ge Xian looked at him and grinned, which immediately made Han Tianfang shudder. The feeling just now was too terrible, and the injuries on his body now made him very uncomfortable.
Peng Yue asked: "Witnesses are alive and can change their stories. Are you sure those witnesses can never change their stories? Are you sure?"
Looking at the uncle in front of him, Han Tianfang finally remembered that this uncle was not a good person. Despite his usually kind-hearted appearance, once he tortured people, he was definitely more terrifying than those demon cultivators in the demon world. , and therefore got the title of "ghost player".
"This..." Han Tianfang lowered his head. He could not guarantee that those mortals could stick to their testimony.
"You go down first, don't embarrass yourself here." Peng Yue waved his sleeves and had people take him down.
The other elders all looked at Ge Xian at this time, their expressions changing constantly as they looked, as if they were looking at a treasure.
"Where did fellow Taoist come from?" An elder had already sensed that Ge Xian's spiritual power was powerful, no weaker than theirs, and he was so young. It was not the effect of some magic spell, but a real youth.
Ge Xian cupped his hands and said, "I met fellow Taoists who went down the mountain to travel around the world before next year. They passed by this place and stayed in Daoxiang Village. I felt that they were quite destined, so I served as guards here."
"Which sect does my friend come from?" Another elder continued to ask.
Ge Xian shook his head and said: "The sect I belong to is a hidden sect. When I came down from the mountain, my master told me not to reveal the sect's whereabouts. I hope Haihan will do the same."
"Can't you tell me who your respected master is?" Peng Yue asked.
Ge Xian thought for a moment and said, "My master calls himself Master Zixu, and I don't know anything else about him."
"Zixu Zhenren?" Peng Yue and others recited this name and found that they had no impression. Although they had the same Taoist title, those people were far inferior to them in ability. Naturally, they could not train a disciple like Ge Xian. He must be an unparalleled master. People.
They don't think this is a lie. The spiritual world is too huge, and its power is like the stars in the night sky. The hidden sect is really normal.
Although they know that Ge Xian may be lying, the other party's strength is enough. Besides, Peng Yue and others don't really want to discover the power behind Ge Xian. If they are disciples of the big sect, they will be offended now. It would be bad for them to know, and it would be a disaster for the sect.
"What happened here is a misunderstanding. Daoxiang Village has always been a model village under our sect. This time, it has performed even better and deserves to be rewarded. Don't worry, this time you pay the spirit rice and contribute to the ranking. Daoxiang Village, I can guarantee that you will be the first." , when you go back, the reward will definitely be rich." Peng Yue said this publicly, which immediately made Village Chief Wei and Wei Wu overjoyed, but at the same time, they also felt a sense of loss, because Ge Xian was likely to leave the village.
In fact, they had thought of this day for a long time, but they did not expect that this day would come so suddenly. Unfortunately, Han Tianfang was secretly scheming all the way this time to deliberately make things difficult for Daoxiang Village. If Ge Xian did not take action to scare him, Daoxiang Village might have to be captured now, and then He was escorted to the dungeon. By then, although Ge Xian could leave alone, he would never get the reward he received now.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a moment to speak. It's still too shabby here, so why not move to the mountains." Peng Yue took the initiative to invite, and Ge Xian nodded in agreement, and at the same time signaled that he wanted to say goodbye to the people in Daoxiang Village.
The three people in Wujin Village were dumbfounded. They knew that Ge Xian might be very powerful, but it was unimaginable that he could make Peng Yue and other Tianmu Sect elders so impressed. At this time, they wished they could turn into mosquitoes and fly away, but unfortunately they could not do so.
When Peng Yue and others saw them, they immediately thought of what Village Chief Wei had said just now. In order to deliberately please Ge Xian, they confiscated all the spiritual rice they handed over as punishment, and received no reward at all. They went home on the spot, leaving the three of them in Wushan wanting to cry.
When they were far away, Wu Shan cursed loudly: "Zhi Niang, you are really evil-hearted. Those spiritual rice were snatched back by the martial arts masters of our village with their lives, and now they are taken for nothing? What kind of immortal, what kind of sect, It’s all bullshit!”
"Village chief, how are we going to explain when we go back now? Many people in our escort team died this time. Now we don't have any reward at all. How can we face the villagers?" Wu Jie asked with a sad face.
"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Wushan was furious at this moment and couldn't help scolding him.
Not to be outdone, Wu Jie counterattacked: "It's all your fault. What kind of benefits did that piece of shit Han Tianfang promise you? You asked my wife to sacrifice her appearance. What's the result? He's not even a piece of shit."
"Isn't it for the village? As for your wife, she is just a licentious woman. Is there any need to sacrifice her appearance?" Wu Shan was also unforgiving.
"You two bastards!" Oona pulled out a knife and slashed at the two of them. They were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. It seemed that this woman had the highest martial arts skills, which was unexpected.
As for Ge Xian, he came to the village chief and Wei Wu and said, "Village Chief, Brother Wei, you go back to the village first and wait for me. I will definitely come back."
Suddenly, the eyes of both of them burst into light, sweeping away the previous decline. At this time, Ge Xian was already a soul-like figure to the entire Daoxiang Village.
