Chapter VII: The Secret Ways of Containment by All Parties
Before stepping into Yunlai Pavilion, Shao Heng was already vigilant in his heart, but the moment he pushed open the door of the private room, he still couldn't control the expression on his face, revealing a little clue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it is a private room, it is not the size of the second floor of the auction house, and it can almost be called a "hall".
There were several people sitting in the hall, Shopkeeper Yun and Liu Sanniang were standing in the middle with a smile, while Xuanying's previous dressed Hu Tu Lao'er was saying something to Shopkeeper Yun with a flattering face, and the others occasionally glanced at Xuanying with slight contempt.
Shao Heng quickly looked around, he didn't know a few people around, but judging from the scene in front of him, it didn't look like a trap deliberately set by his identity was exposed, and his heart was slightly relieved.
However, what followed was confusion and irrepressible anger.
If he guessed correctly, although he didn't know why Yunlai Pavilion temporarily changed the gathering place, Xuanying's appearance here was clearly not obeying Shao Heng's orders and making assertions.
This series of emotional fluctuations, even if Shao Heng tried his best to hide it, was still seen by others.
"Hmph!" Xuanying has been in Tianshu for many years, so he naturally discovered the emotions that Shao Heng revealed at that moment when he came in, and realized that this trace of emotion might arouse the suspicion of the treacherous and cunning cloud shopkeeper, so he immediately puffed up his chest and nostrils to the sky, making a look of hatred for Shao Heng.
Shao Heng heard Xuanying's "hum", and understood that he could only follow him at this moment, stretched out his hand holding the fan and opened it with a "sigh", and his cold gaze scraped Xuanying like a blade, which made Xuanying's heart tighten.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper first glanced at Liu Sanniang, seemed to smile, and asked falsely: "You Gongzi is here, what's the matter?"
"There was a one-sided relationship, but unfortunately this one ran too fast and couldn't communicate well. Shao Heng's eyes were not good, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and suddenly the folding fan in his hand moved slightly, and a strong wind rose from the ground in the hall, and the wind swept away like a sharp blade, and he was about to hit Xuanying impartially.
"Hu Tu"'s face changed greatly, but his body that looked like rotten wood pounced on the back of the cloud shopkeeper with great flexibility, which made the cloud shopkeeper unable to dodge.
The cloud shopkeeper's face also changed, but the "nonsense" behind him clung to his body and couldn't dodge, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he could only use his hands to connect.
The scope of the wind is not large, and it is extremely fast, but the vitality inside is extremely violent, and the killing intent pierces the skin like a needle.
The cloud shopkeeper secretly exclaimed: "The evil is really extraordinary, this true qi seems to surpass others. ”
While thinking about it, the cloud shopkeeper's sleeves rose like a wind, transformed into two huge pockets, and collected all the wind into his sleeves, and then shrunk to the original size.
The wind disappeared, and the cloud shopkeeper's heart was relieved, and he was about to smile and say something when he suddenly froze, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
I only heard a few sharp whistling sounds from the cloud shopkeeper, and a small wind arrow suddenly shot out in all directions, and there was a sudden "clanging" crisp sound in the hall, which actually smashed several precious porcelain.
The cloud shopkeeper looked down with an ugly face: his originally intact sleeves were torn a little bit, visible through the light, and a few places had even been torn apart, broken into rags and drooping, revealing the color of the underwear inside.
Those wind arrows shot were caused by the strong wind under Fang Caiyun's sleeve robe to break through his spell, which not only made him a little dull, but also affected the people in the hall.
However, those people are not idle people, although there are many wind arrows, most of the power has already gone, and others can dissolve it with a random block.
It's just that they were originally casually watching the show, and their eyes when they looked at Shao Heng and the cloud shopkeeper were a little jealous.
The cloud shopkeeper had never shown his cultivation before, but the head of the Yunlai Pavilion was able to easily contain the spell attacks of the condensing stage monks, which made the few people who originally despised him slightly cold, and they were a little wary of the purpose of the Yunlai Pavilion gathering themselves.
On the other hand, the power of Shao Heng's casual blow from this strange young man also surprised them, how could the same monk with such supernatural powers among his peers not let them be afraid of three points?
Liu Sanniang looked at the shopkeeper Yun's face turned red and black, blue and white, and said with a charming smile: "I said that the shopkeeper's clothes should be changed, but today is a coincidence." As he spoke, his gaze hinted at the cloud shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Yun reacted quickly, suppressed the thousand feelings of anger in his heart, and said with a warm smile: "That's right, that's right." You Gongzi's cultivation is profound, and Yun has seen it today. He hid the disgust in his eyes and looked at Hu Tu who came out of his back and said: "Mr. Hu and You Gongzi are afraid that there is some misunderstanding, the people who came to my Yunlai Pavilion today are all friends of Yun, and I hope that You Gongzi will look at Yun's face and temporarily put aside grievances." ”
Xuanying pretended to be "Hu Tu" and followed Shao Heng out of the city that day, and the old monster died tragically outside the city.
The unpredictable temperament of the cloud shopkeeper was originally trying to find a person who was his enemy to contain one or two, Xuanying was not worried that Shao Heng acted alone and caught up with a deacon of Lord Yunlai, and the cloud shopkeeper was like a sleepy person who met the pillow, and agreed, but he didn't know that it was exactly what Xuanying wanted.
With the heart of watching a good show today, who knew that this nonsense was really worthy of his "treacherous" reputation, but not only exposed his means to attract the attention of others, but also showed his foreign appearance.
Shao Heng had already guessed the cause and effect at this time, and he had a clear insight into the mind of the cloud shopkeeper, and while sneering in his heart, he said politely on his face: "Since this is the case, then let's stop for the time being." ”
Xuanying pretended to be angry and stammered, "Who...... Who's afraid of whom, let's ...... Get out...... Fight again!"
Although Shao Heng was annoyed by Xuanying's unauthorized actions, he couldn't help but be a little amused and a little relieved when he saw that he had disguised a fierce and introverted humble old man to the fullest.
The cloud shopkeeper didn't know how many times he scolded nonsense in his heart, but he comforted him and sat down, and then introduced the people present to Shao Heng one by one.
There were still three people in the hall, two men and one woman.
The woman is a middle-aged woman, with a weathered face but you can vaguely see the beauty of her youth, holding her hair in a high bun, with thin eyebrows and eyes that are extremely cold and arrogant.
Shao Heng looked at it at first glance, and felt that this woman had a mean face, a little like Pan Yuehua who spoke wildly at Cunwei Mountain Pass and didn't know how to advance or retreat.
Thinking of the woman from the Danding faction who took the opportunity to slander Senior Brother Shen that day, Shao Heng felt a little disgusted with the person in front of him.
The other two men were tall and short.
The tall one is also a young man, with a handsome face like a quiet son, but with a little more feminine air, and his eyes are cloudy, indicating the person's actual age.
The short man looked to be in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, with a mustache, and a pair of eyes that were rolling around and shining with malice.
The woman called herself "Mrs. Moshan", and the tall and short men were Liu Feijun and Zhen Jiazi respectively.
Except for Zhen Jiazi's cultivation in the late stage of condensation, Mrs. Moshan and Liu Feijun are both in the middle stage of condensation.
These three people were also selected by Yunlai Pavilion with great effort, and they were invited to join forces to deal with the demon beasts in Wutong Mountain.
"Cloud shopkeeper, you said that the demon beast is in the transformation period, which is comparable to Jindan, and the demon beast is born with its own supernatural powers, although there are many of us, we may not be able to defeat it. That Zhen Jiazi looked rough and arrogant, but his voice was high-pitched, and it sounded a bit like Shao Heng's past supervisor in the palace of Qi State.
Liu Feijun played with a strand of hair on his shoulder, but there was no reaction, but Mrs. Moshan bowed slightly when she heard this, and a look of approval flashed on her face.
Shao Heng not only has to pretend to be Yougongzi, but also has to pretend to be "actually a ghost, Yougongzi is just a disguise", and simply shook the fan expressionlessly, secretly observing the others.
"Senior Zhen, please rest assured, this time our Mr. Zou Da will also go together, with him as the main force to contain the demon beasts, we are just from the sidelines. Liu Sanniang said softly.
Zhen Jiazi and Mrs. Moshan's faces relaxed slightly when they heard this, and Liu Feijun's fingers also stopped slightly.
Shao Heng's eyebrows furrowed without a trace, and he said in his heart: "That Mr. Zou has appeared at the auction, but it doesn't seem to be very good. ”
Just thinking about it, a very soft voice sounded in his ears: "Childe, Liu Sanniang is talking about Mr. Zou's brother at the auction, a Jindan monk in Yunlai Pavilion, this person lives in a simple place, and his subordinates have never seen him, Childe must be careful." ”
This sound was transmitted by Xuanying, Shao Heng raised his head slightly, and saw Xuanying sitting opposite, covering his mouth and nose when he was drinking tea with both hands.
Shao Heng said in his heart: "Although Xuanying makes his own opinions, he is in the dark, and it may be more convenient to act later." ”
He nodded imperceptibly, and seemed to shake his head.
Although Xuanying didn't understand this when she saw this, she didn't dare to spread the word again for fear that others would see something.
"Shopkeeper Yun, you asked us to meet three miles outside the city before, why did you temporarily change it to the city today? You said that the grass and trees you want to retrieve have a limited time to mature, why do you waste time here?" Mrs. Moshan's voice was not as soft as that of an ordinary woman, but like an iron weapon striking out, and she was born with a cold alienation.
Shopkeeper Yun and Liu Sanniang smiled wryly at the same time, which made Shao Heng puzzled.
"I am not satisfied with you, Yun Mou also said before, my Yunlai Pavilion has such a place in Jinyun City, but it has also made a big splash and attracted the attention of malicious people. The business that you are invited to participate in this time is entrusted by people of high status in China. Although the things he asked for were not worth mentioning, they were a business line that Yunlai Pavilion had managed to catch up with with great difficulty. The cloud shopkeeper asked his subordinates to serve exquisite and delicious refreshments, and said.
"But I didn't expect that there was a traitor in my Yunlai Pavilion, and he actually let someone with a heart know about it, and wanted to sabotage this business, and secretly attacked my Yunlai Pavilion. The cloud shopkeeper's voice was cold: "Although the other party doesn't know very much, I don't know where we will go." But I don't know how to learn about today's appointment for you to go out of the city, and send people to plant spies at each city gate early, if you still leave the city as before, I am afraid that when we fight with the demon beast in Wutong Mountain, we will be followed by people with bad intentions. ”
Shao Heng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: There are not many forces in Jinyun City that can be greater than Yunlai Pavilion, and there are not many people who Yunlai Pavilion dare not touch, but I am afraid that the only one who can monitor the various city gates is Cao Mo, the city lord who is stationed here by Yuxu Mountain.
Although Yuxu Mountain and Cunwei Mountain are both righteous paths, and even called the "Three Mountains" together with Nixia Mountain, the relationship may be a little worse than the rest of the sects.
But Cao Mo of Ruoyu Xushan is also involved, but he is afraid that there will be some trouble.
"Since you can't get out of the city right now, do you have to wait until midnight?" asked Liu Feijun.
"There are fewer people at night, but it is more eye-catching. The cloud shopkeeper said with a smile, like a Maitreya Buddha with a good face.
Shao Heng's eyes lit up, and sure enough, he heard the cloud shopkeeper say: "There is a secret passage in Yunlai Pavilion that leads directly to the outside of the city, you need to be wronged, wear this snow cloth that can shield your divine sense, cover your eyes, and go out of the city with me." ”
