Chapter 781: Look at the Stars
Xiao Tao now has one more person in his heart, two to be precise, because there is another person who lives and dies with him, and he can't forget or give up. Although the man is missing and does not know whether he is alive or dead, he vows to find her and then guard her.
As for Zhang Jingjing's feelings, Xiao Tao really didn't know what to do, so he could only go with the flow.
Zhang Jingjing looked up at the starry sky, but Xiao Tao stared at her, his eyes were reluctant to leave for a long time, this may be the last time they will meet.
Xiao Tao also has too much helplessness, Zhang Jingjing has been trapped in the infighting of the Shenyin Gate since the moment she recognized her parents, she must grow up as soon as possible and refine the Lingyin Secret Technique to completely free herself from this danger.
At this critical moment, Zhang Jingjing must have no distractions in order to quickly improve the cultivation of the secret method, if there is concern, it will have an impact on the cultivation.
Although Tong Lingyun promised to marry Zhang Jingjing to him, Xiao Tao knew that it was just Tong Lingyun's helplessness, which was not what the Zhang family really meant. When talking to Zhang Qifeng, Zhang Qifeng never mentioned this matter, and Xiao Tao felt Zhang Qifeng's attitude.
In view of the grievances between Shenyinmen and Shang Yuanzhenren, it is a lock that is difficult to unlock, once Zhang Jingjing ascends to the position of head and leads the three veins of Shenyinmen, then Zhang Jingjing will face this grievance, how does Zhang Jingjing face Xiao Tao?
Leaving may be the best choice, and this is also the best for Zhang Jingjing.
"You've been staring at me for so long, haven't you seen enough?" Zhang Jingjing suddenly withdrew her gaze from the starry sky and looked at Xiao Tao, with a hint of pleasure in her beautiful eyes.
"Of course I haven't seen enough, how can I see enough of the beauties?" Xiao Tao smiled and immediately retracted his gaze.
"Flim Flam. Zhang Jingjing's pretty face turned red, and after a sentence of disgust, she said, "You like to see me so much, stay after you finish your errands, accompany me in Beijiang, and look at me every day, okay?"
"It's not good, you're so long-winded, I'm facing you every day, and I'm not annoyed by you. Xiao Tao smiled and waved his hand again and again.
"If you dare to be long-winded, see that I don't beat you to death. Zhang Jingjing became angry, held a small fist, and beat Xiao Tao's body, the fist looked fierce and ruthless, but it was weak and powerless when it hit Xiao Tao.
"Ouch, kill me, kill me. Xiao Tao had no choice but to cooperate, pretending to be injured and in pain, but the corners of his mouth were hooked with a happy curve.
Xiao Tao and Zhang Jingjing were flirting on the rooftop, but they didn't know that they had been monitored, on the rooftop of a villa in the distance, there was only a cloud of darkness over there, but there were two people hiding in the dark, staring at the past, and all eyes fell on Xiao Tao.
"Third uncle, he is Xiao Tao, the descendant of Shang Yuan Zhenren. A middle-aged man said.
"Shang Yuan Dao, I destroyed my Shenyin Gate back then, causing my Shenyin Gate to fall apart, this account cannot be calculated with Shang Yuan Dao, but also with Shang Yuan Dao's apprentices. An old man snorted.
This middle-aged man is Zhang Qifeng's elder brother Zhang Qishan, in the Xianyin lineage, he is the most qualified to compete with Zhang Qifeng for the position of the head of the Zhang family, but before his father died, he passed the position of the head of the family to Zhang Qifeng.
Therefore, Zhang Qishan was not convinced, and always wanted to overthrow Zhang Qifeng and regain the position of the head of the family.
And the old man is Zhang Jingxing, the third uncle of Zhang Qifeng's brother, who has a very high secret cultivation method, and is one of the elders of the Zhang family, and he usually doesn't take care of things, but when he heard Zhang Qishan say that the enemy's apprentice is coming, he can't help but come over to take a look.
"I heard that Tong Lingyun is going to give Zhang Jingjing to Xiao Tao, and then our grievances with Shang Yuan Zhenren may also be resolved. Zhang Qishan glanced at Zhang Jingxing and said in a strange manner.
"How is it possible, even if our Xianyin one line agrees, the other two lines will not agree, Xiao Tao wants to marry a woman from our Zhang family, but there is no door. Zhang Jingxing snorted coldly again and said, "As soon as Shang Yuan Dao dies, our three veins will definitely be in the same breath and work together to eradicate the remnants left by Shang Yuan Dao." ”
"Third uncle, in my opinion, we don't have to wait that long, we can eradicate him now. Zhang Qishan said.
"No, Shang Yuandao's life and death are unknown, we can't act recklessly, if Xiao Tao dies in our family, it will be a big trouble. Zhang Jingxing didn't like Xiao Tao, but it didn't mean that his head was confused, so he rejected Zhang Qishan's suggestion on the spot.
"Who said we can do it outside, as long as we do it well, no one will find out that we did it. Zhang Qishan said.
"Shang Yuan Dao is a master of the One Unity Realm, even if we do it well, he has the means to deduce it, or wait for Shang Yuan Dao to die, let's do it again. Zhang Jingxing said.
"It is said that Shang Yuan Dao has been missing for more than half a year, and his life and death are unknown, God knows if he is dead?"
Zhang Qishan shook his head, and said with some disapproval, "If this old guy is still alive, he doesn't have much ability, what strength does a person in his hundred years old have to deduce the incident?" Besides, if the old guy dies, I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, then Hou Xiaotao and Zhang Jingjing will have a litter, and it will be too late to do it again." ”
"It makes sense, then you can bring a few more people, do a good job, and you must remove the traces afterwards, and don't leave any flaws for people to deduce. Zhang Jingxing thought about it and agreed to Zhang Qishan's suggestion.
"Third uncle, please rest assured, I will take care of this matter, and then we will all cover our faces and bring the magic weapons of the imperial vein, even if people deduce it, they will think that it was done by someone from the imperial vein, and they will never guess our heads." Zhang Qishan smiled, revealing a smug look.
For Zhang Jingjing, the Zhang family is very nervous, it is the only one in the family who has a peerless body, the only person who can refine the secret technique of spiritual sound to the greatest completion, and the only person who has the hope of ascending to the throne of the Shenyin Gate, and is very concerned about the safety of Zhang Jingjing's life, including Zhang Qishan.
Zhang Qishan wants to fight for the position of the head of the Zhang family, not the head of the Shenyin Sect, he distinguishes it very clearly, it is Zhang Qifeng who he wants to fall, not Zhang Jingjing. Zhang Jingjing is very important to the family and even the Xian Dan lineage, and he is very clear about this.
However, the relationship between Zhang Jingjing and Xiao Tao is known to the Zhang family, and they also know that Xiao Tao is sheltering Zhang Jingjing, but it does not mean that everyone agrees that Xiao Tao and Zhang Jingjing are together, and those who oppose it still account for the majority, and Zhang Qishan is one of them.
And Zhang Qishan has another layer of thought, that is, he wants to take the opportunity to challenge his younger brother's status, as long as he kills the disciples of his enemies, then he will increase his reputation in the family, and then unite the elders in the family to hold Zhang Qifeng accountable, forcing Zhang Qifeng to give up the position of head of the family.
"This matter needs to be kept secret, especially not let your second uncle know, his opinion is different from ours, if he knows that we are going to kill Xiao Tao, he will definitely come out to stop it, and then we will not be able to do anything." Zhang Jingxing reminded.
"I'll take a few henchmen to handle this matter myself, and make sure that no one knows. Zhang Qifeng smiled and patted his chest to reassure.
Early the next morning, Xiao Tao had breakfast and said goodbye to Zhang Qifeng's family.
"Xiao Tao, I'll take you to the station. Zhang Jingjing said.
"You still have homework to cultivate, so it's better for your dad to send it. Tong Lingyun's brows furrowed, and he said with some hesitation.
In fact, Tong Lingyun is not worried about her daughter being alone with Xiao Tao, although Xiao Tao is kind to their family, she can repay it in other ways, anyway, the Zhang family has money, and she also said that she promised to match Zhang Jingjing to Xiao Tao, but it was forced by the situation, not what she was willing to do, it was just an expedient measure.
"Dad, then please send Xiao Tao to the station. Zhang Jingjing was very obedient, so she hugged Zhang Qifeng's arm and said.
"Don't worry, I'll send Xiao Tao to the station. Zhang Qifeng said.
After Zhang Qifeng sent Xiao Tao away, Zhang Jingjing went to practice in his own practice room, and Tong Lingyun also went back to the room to meditate and practice qi.
Tong Lingyun was very satisfied with Zhang Jingjing's performance, Zhang Jingjing was not as reluctant to Xiao Tao as expected, she felt a little surprised, as long as Xiao Tao and Zhang Jingjing did not have such a deep relationship, things would be much easier.
At the beginning, Tong Lingyun persuaded Zhang Jingjing to return to Beijiang, just to separate Xiao Tao and Zhang Jingjing and make the relationship between them fade, this goal seems to have been achieved, isn't she happy?
Tong Lingyun closed her eyes and settled down, her anger sank into the dantian, and she soon entered a state of selflessness, which was more than an hour in a flash.
Tong Lingyun came out and found that Zhang Jingjing was no longer at home, her schoolbag was gone, and the car had driven away.
Tong Lingyun didn't care much about it, this was Zhang Jingjing's rhythm of going back to school as usual.
********
Qinghui Town, as expected, is a remote town, much more backward than other towns.
There is only one street, which is full of bungalows on both sides, but there are shops, hotels, health stations, etc., but it is relatively dilapidated and there is not much traffic.
Xiao Tao opened a guest room in the hotel, which was relatively clean, but the decoration was very simple, that is, four white walls, the facilities were simpler, except for a bathroom, there was only one bed, not even a chair.
Xiao Tao didn't care much, he was here to do things, not to enjoy, in this kind of place, he could have a clean room for the night, and he didn't have to sleep in the wild.
After leaving the hotel, Xiao Tao walked around Qinghui Town, and asked the locals about what other roads could go north to Qilian Mountain.
Qinghui Town is very small, and the street is almost visible at a glance, and then there are a few civilian residential areas, Xiao Tao did not enter those residential areas to investigate, this is the sphere of influence of the Qilian faction, and most of the residential areas have the eyes and ears of the Qilian faction here, and he will definitely be suspicious if he walks in and walks around blindly as an outsider.
In addition to the residential area, there are only fields and mountains left, and Xiao Tao climbed a relatively stable mountain and turned around here.
