If you admit it, you can talk about it. If Hou Jiangcheng refuses to let go, Wei Shiqi will have nothing to do. After all, this is Liantao Mountain, and he is just a foreigner without roots. . Updates so fast.
"Is the dentist bad?"
"Without treatment, I will have to grind food with my gums for the rest of my life." Hou Jiangcheng was a little disappointed. He tried his best to make himself fat, hoping to hide it from Kunlun's attention. Unexpectedly, Wei Shiqi exposed it easily. It turned out that The trick he thought he had had already been used by others.
There is nothing new under the sun. This is a very good saying. But he was unwilling to give in and asked: "How did you recognize it?"
"I remember your smell."
Hou Jiangcheng was so depressed that he almost spit out blood. He relied on smell to identify people. He really didn't expect this. He had a dog's nose. He suddenly remembered a rumor that he only heard about when he returned to Liantao Mountain. There was a legend on Kunlun Liushi Peak. The disciple surnamed Wei was born out of nowhere. He was not a pure human being, but a human-monster hybrid, a mule - no wonder!
"You are a guest from afar, and the guest does as he pleases. If you come to the door, you are not seeking revenge, are you?"
Wei Shiqi shook his head slightly and said: "The Five Elements Sect and the Xiandu Sect are no longer in the same situation as when you left. Everything you did in Kunlun Mountain has no impact, except for stealing a Seven Bird Sword."
Hou Jiangcheng's heart trembled, and he smiled bitterly and said: "I know that Deng Yuantong fell to the Five Elements Sect, and they are wearing a pair of trousers. If you want to get the Seven Birds Sword back, there is nothing I can do. The sword is in the hands of the palace master."
"Master Chu of Fenglei Palace?"
"Exactly."
"Times have changed, so it's okay to talk about it now. Was it the Master of the Chu Palace who asked you to act as an internal agent to break into Kunlun?"
"That's right, I am the death chamber of the Taiyi Sect. I finally got on the line with the Five Elements Sect. But I didn't expect that before my butt was hot, Elder Qin made some mistakes and ordered me to break into the Immortal Capital and bury a hidden stake. , I have wasted so many years and achieved nothing in the end. It is probably rare to see such a useless person die!" Hou Jiangcheng was actually a bit sad and laughed at himself.
"Qin Zijie ordered you to withdraw from the Immortal Capital, why didn't you return to Kunlun? He still has half of the Pure Heart and Innocent Mantra that he has not passed on to you, and the demon fire of returning to the Yuan is not extinguished. After all, it is a serious problem."
Hou Jiangcheng stayed for a long time and sighed: "I am very homesick and don't want to stay in a different place. If I have the opportunity to return to my hometown in the Central Plains, how can I miss it! As for that wisp of returning demon fire, as long as Palace Master Chu is willing to take me in and drive out the demon fire , it’s just a matter of effort.”
"You gave up one person to death in exchange for a Seven Bird Sword. Palace Master Chu did not punish you, but instead accepted you as a registered disciple. If you can gain access to Palace Master Chu's eyes, it seems that the Seven Bird Sword may have an extraordinary origin!"
Hou Jiangcheng's heart trembled. He didn't expect that the other party was so thoughtful that he actually noticed something from a few words, so he could only pretend to be confused and said: "Xi Zhangmen is from the Feiyu Sect, and the flying sword he wields is definitely not an ordinary thing." 'It's human nature to lend flowers to the Buddha and give them to the master of the palace to do what he likes."
"I heard that the Seven Birds Sword has its own magical powers. Back in the Ghost Gate Abyss, you used the Lihuo Cleansing Technique to refine the Seven Birds Sword, and then used the magical power of the 'World in the Sword' to escape and fly into the air. Is this possible?"
Every word was heart-breaking, and every step of the way, Hou Jiangcheng felt that the truth he had tried so hard to conceal was being revealed bit by bit. He was speechless and could only respond with a "haha" silly smile.
Wei Shiqi originally didn't think so much. As he talked, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The universe in the sword, the universe in the sword. After the winter hunting in Tianling, Xi Huzi's sword light scroll, Wei Rongniang, Chen Suzhen, Duan Wenhuan, Cao Jinren , plus himself, wrapped up five people with one sword and flew back to Xianyun Peak - if he understood something, he would not ask any more questions.
"Forget it, let bygones be bygones, people always have to look forward."
After hearing what he said, Hou Jiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"The corpse of Gui Men Yuan is fake and real. I came to see Senior Brother Hou this time. Firstly, I wanted to clear up my confusion. Secondly, I have a question to ask. It has nothing to do with the Immortal Capital and Kunlun. It's purely... Private matters."
Hou Jiangcheng grinned and said, "Junior brother, I just say it's okay."
"I heard that Senior Brother Hou comes from a family of officials in Luocheng?"
Hou Jiangcheng's heart sank. He had always kept secret about his origins, for fear that the young and old of the Hou family would be involved and cause trouble.
"Junior Brother Wei, it will not harm your family."
Wei Shiqi glanced at him and said: "I said, it has nothing to do with Xiandu and Kunlun, it's purely a 'private' matter - you are the third son of the Hou Mansion, and there are two elder brothers above you, Hou Jiangdong and Hou Jiangbo, how can you Have you ever seen them?"
Hou Jiangcheng's face changed, and he let out a long sigh and said: "I was abandoned since I was a child, and I was living in poverty. It was not until recent years that I found the time to go to Luo City. I found out that the old man and his mother have passed away. Hou Jiangbo was an official at the feet of the emperor in the capital. He read too much, was pedantic, and had no future. The current person in charge of the Hou Mansion was Hou Jiangdong. His good days were over, he couldn't make ends meet, and he lived by selling antiques. I went to Hou Jiangbo on the pretext of buying jewelry. I've been to the house several times, but I haven't acknowledged them. No one in the house knows that the third child, who is the 'reincarnation of an evildoer, who subjugates his father and his mother', is still alive."
He was a little bitter. In the heart of Hou Jiangcheng, there was always a burning desire. He hoped that one day he would be successful, return home in fine clothes, stand in front of his parents with his head held high, mock Hou Ying severely, and repay his biological mother. But God did not follow his wishes, and he I have the qualifications to laugh and the ability to repay, but the objects of ridicule and repayment are no longer there.
"I heard that there is an heirloom in the Hou Mansion, a small screen about a foot high, with four panels in total. Each panel is painted with two beautiful girls playing the sheng, xiao, zither, flute, harp, zither, pipa, and konghou. , can sing and dance, have you ever seen him?"
Hou Jiangcheng lowered his head and groaned for a long time, and said: "I heard Hou Jiangdong mention that it was taken over by a wealthy merchant in the jewelry business in the capital a long time ago. It was the old man who made the decision, and I don't know why he wanted to open up some connections."
"What's the name of the wealthy businessman?"
"Chen Dong, the first-class big businessman in the capital. His ancestral home is Tonglu Town in the Western Regions. He calls himself Tonglu Chen. He has friends with powerful people and his hands and eyes are astute. It is said that Xu Changsheng, the hussar general who guards the town customs, got him when he was slightly cold. Funding is very strict."
Chen Dong, Chen Jinyue, Li Lanxiang, Hou Ying, Hou Jiangdong, Hou Jiangbo, Hou Jiangcheng, Xu Changsheng, Xu Li, Xin Laoyao, there seems to be an invisible thread that pulls these people together. This thread is called destiny.
"Junior Brother Wei has taken a fancy to that screen?"
Wei Shiqi said: "In my early years, I met a brothel girl on a boat in Tonglu Town. Speaking of life, she was originally from a wealthy family. She was betrothed to Hou Jiangdong of the Marquis of Luocheng as his wife. Later, the family fell into decline. This matter It was nothing more. She had seen the heirloom in the Hou Mansion with her own eyes. It was so bizarre that it made people excited. No, she happened to meet Senior Brother Hou and remembered it, so she asked a few more questions. .”
After saying "just right" twice in a row, Hou Jiangcheng knew in his heart that he was obsessed with the screen and was bound to win it. He was afraid that the other party would hold on to the Seven Birds Sword, so he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Wei. Tomorrow, I will go down the mountain for my brother. First, I will go to Luocheng to find Hou Jiangdong, and find out the whereabouts of the screen. I will give it to Junior Brother." A sure word."
Wei Shiqi smiled and said: "Thank you so much, senior brother."
Hou Jiangcheng only thought that the other party was young and energetic, and he was greedy for women's entertainment. This kind of favor was just a favor without any expense, so why not do it? It doesn't hurt to take a trip to the capital.
