Chapter Thirty-Nine: Morning in Beijing
A lot happened that night.
There is a prince who has been assassinated twice in a row, a young lady who was almost kidnapped, and a Jindan real person who almost died on the spot, but these have nothing to do with the ordinary people in the capital.
The early morning in Shangjing is no different from the past, the dew drops slide from the petals, the birdsong comes intermittently, and the light rain that falls during the third watch brings a fresh smell of earth in the air...... Oh, and the smell of horse manure.
"In ancient society, the state of hygiene was too poor to be bearable. Song Yan covered his nose and shook his head.
It is now the early morning of the next day, and the Shangyang River Lantern Festival lasts until the second watch is completely over, and the scattered crowds return to their homes one after another.
This is also an old tradition in the capital, on the second day of the national carnival, which boss dares to ask workers to go to work normally, that is, it is difficult to get along with the people of the city.
And with Ning'er completely escaping, last night's big drama can be regarded as coming to an end.
When Wen Yiqi brought Song Yan back to the reception site, the disciples of the Xianyin Sect over there had already fled, and only a few low-level disciples who were not very lucky were caught and tortured by the angry Zhao Cen.
After Song Yan came back, he also met with Zhao Cen - this was the first time they met, although there had been a lot of intersection before, but the two had not actually met, and it could only be said that they had been friends for a long time.
Zhao Cen was not as vicious or arrogant as Song Yan imagined, but looked quite polite, and even made a special trip to thank Song Yan.
He did have a reason to thank him, after all, it was Song Yan who discovered the conspiracy of the Xianyin Sect and ran to bring Wen Yiqi over. Although Chang Wenyuan saved him in the end, he had to admit this love.
However, Zhao Cen didn't stay too long at the reception, and soon went back to recuperate. The time he and Ning Er looked at each other, it was damaging to the mind and soul, but fortunately, the degree was not deep, and it could be slowly recuperated by time.
And after Wen Yiqi brought Song Yan back, he went to the suburbs again, bringing back Monk Jinggen, Zhao Jinghua and others, and of course, the two female catchers under his command.
As Song Yan and Yan Danjue guessed, the silver-robed ancestor Zhong Yu arranged the induction array in advance, and as soon as he noticed the arrival of the Shenhai Grandmaster, he turned around and fled without saying a word, and escaped smoothly before Wen Yiqi arrived.
Of course, he didn't do anything to Zhao Jinghua and the others, this was meaningless to Zhong Yu, there was no benefit but it annoyed a grandmaster, this kind of stupid thing Zhong Yu would not do.
He had already prepared for it, if Zhao Cen obediently gave the sword, it would be his earnings, and if the fourth prince was angry and invited the grandmaster, then he would pat his ass and leave, thinking that he was unlucky.
He Zhong Yu is just wasting some time, but the four princes want to take advantage of the favor and ask the grandmaster to help...... Although you don't make it yourself, it's not bad to watch others suffer!
Zhong Yu ran away very blessedly, and Wen Yiqi didn't chase this interested quasi-grandmaster, so he returned with a group of people, and told Qi Mushi and Zhou Qingqing about what happened on the way.
Of course, the main thing is to explain to Zhao Jinghua - her maid has become an assassin who assassinated the four princes, although it is most likely not herself.
Zhao Jinghua only knew at this time that she was the only one who was kept in the dark about the whole thing.
Not only are the two maids of Song Gongzi the head catchers of the six doors, but their group also came to test themselves, it was not a chance encounter at all, even the best friends found out that something was wrong with Ning Er after leaving......
Although everyone seems to have good intentions, why does it sound so awkward?
Zhao Jinghua couldn't help but feel a little out of place because of her lack of intelligence.
In addition to these finishing things, the six doors also began to get busy, and began to investigate the background identities of the people who fled yesterday one by one - it doesn't matter if they are not caught red-handed, how can they not leave their identity information if they can blend into the drinking party?
Under the vine and the melon, there is always something to gain, Wen Yiqi said last night uprooting, which refers to the follow-up action, and the six doors are good at this.
But all this has nothing to do with Song Yan, he went home early yesterday to go to bed, got up early today, and is now on his way to Wen Yiqi's house.
Last night's action was an unsatisfactory result for Song Yan, and the basic goal of getting to know at least one grandmaster had been accomplished. Although the exercises of the Xianyin Sect did not start, they were not just needed, and they were not pulled down, just so that he could focus on the right path.
Following his memory to yesterday's attic, Song Yan planned to come forward and knock on the door, before he left last night, he had already agreed with Wen Yiqi to visit him today.
Unexpectedly, when Song Yan was about to knock on the door, the wooden door opened by itself, and two familiar figures came out of it, it was Yan Danjue and Zhao Jinghua.
But the strange thing is that the two of them are wearing men's casual clothes today, and even the makeup has been specially adjusted, which looks closer to men, and it really has a bit of a woman dressed as a man.
"Huh, why are you two here?" Song Yan couldn't help but look at the two of them in surprise.
"I want to ask you. Yan Danjue pulled Zhao Jinghua beside her, stared at Song Yan viciously, "Say, are you following our Jingjing? Yesterday, I found out that you didn't have a good heart, and you kept staring at her!"
Song Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw her as a hen guard, casually pushed the two of them aside, and walked inside: "I have already made an appointment with Wen Shibo, you two are uninvited, right?"
His words fell, and Wen Yiqi's voice came from the room.
"Is Hongwen here? come in, remember to close the door. ”
Song Yan responded, and then turned his head, only to see Yan Danjue covering his face with one hand, and pulling Zhao Jinghua with the other hand to run away.
Zhao Jinghua could only smile at Song Yan helplessly to apologize, but before she could say anything, she had already been pulled around a corner, and the two figures disappeared.
"Weird ......" Song Yan muttered, before closing the door and walking into Wen Yiqi's house.
......
Just when Song Yan visited Wen Yiqi, in the underground dark room on the outskirts of Shangjing, two figures suddenly fell into it, it was Lin Jiamei and Ning Er, who escaped last night.
Ning Er's real name is Xue Ning'er, of course, this is not a coincidence, but after the Xianyin Sect set its sights on the goal of the Four Princes half a year ago, it chose Ning Er as a substitute, so Xue Ning'er changed it to this name.
As a professional undercover agent, you must not make the mistake of not being able to react when you are called by name. In order to avoid this problem, simply change your name in advance to get used to it, and after a long time, you will naturally take it as your own name.
After the two left Shangjing, Lin Jiamei went directly into the mountains, and after a night of cultivation and recuperation, she stabilized her injuries, and Xue Ning'er also protected her law for a night.
After walking into the dark room, Lin Jiamei raised her hand slightly, and a fire lit up in her palm, illuminating the scene in the dark room, and also illuminating the tattered dummy with only three left.
Seeing this scene, even Lin Jiamei, who had already sensed it in her heart, couldn't help but be slightly silent.
In a sense, she actually had ten lives, and that punch killed seven of them and crippled the remaining three—including herself.
"If I hadn't prepared this Dao technique in advance, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot...... What kind of monster is that?" Lin Jiamei had never encountered this kind of thing since she switched to the Demon Sect.
"Senior sister, are you okay?" Xue Ning'er couldn't help but ask on the side.
She knew yesterday that the senior sister was injured, but she didn't expect the injury to be so bad, and most of the nine dummies prepared by "Transferring Flowers and Trees" were destroyed.
Lin Jiamei just shook her head, and then said, "Tell me in detail, why the operation failed, and the person who tracked you before...... Forget it, the previous ones are not important, let's talk about the tracker first. ”
"That man's name is Song Yan, the word Hongwen, but ......"
Xue Ning'er is actually very familiar with Song Yan's information, and this person is also an important person in the whole thing, but what she focused on was what happened after she met Song Yan yesterday.
After Xue Ning'er finished speaking, Lin Jiamei said: "You said that he could defeat an innate martial artist without moving his hands and feet? ”
Lin Jiamei paused when she said this, as if she was thinking carefully about last night's palm.
"That palm is closer to the power of the Divine Sea refined by the Martial Arts Grandmaster, but it seems to have a Zen feeling, which is the breath of Buddhism and martial arts, which is very strange. Lin Jiamei frowned slightly.
Xue Ning'er was also a monk standing on the threshold of Jindan, and she had a lot of knowledge, and she couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the words: "Could it be that the Great Bright Temple is trying to let the disciples in the sect achieve the Shenhai with Buddhism and martial arts?"
As we all know, it is extremely difficult for the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism to achieve Jindan and Arhat, but the success rate of martial arts cultivation is much higher if they want to condense the Shenhai, which is also one of the important reasons why the Cangxuan Sword Sect can assist the Great Zhou to sweep the world.
But if the Great Light Temple can also study the disciples who have left the path of the Divine Sea, will the number of Buddhist Sects and the Divine Sea jump to an astonishing number?
Even for the Great Light Temple, this is not the righteous path of the Arhats, but their combat effectiveness will not be reduced, even if they fight for the position of protector of the Dharma, there must be a large number of people rushing to it......
Lin Jiamei didn't speak with a calm face, she also had similar thoughts, but she didn't say it explicitly.
Compared with the method of promoting Shenhai in Buddhism martial arts, it is not a big deal that Song Yan can be stabbed by her without being damaged - there are many life-saving things in the secret treasures of Buddhism, Song Yan is likely to be an extremely important test object, and it is normal to have a body protection.
"Senior sister, we have to report this matter to the master as soon as possible!" Xue Ning'er shuddered when she thought that the Great Light Temple might have many Shenhai Warrior Monks, and these people were destined to be enemies, "And that Song Yan, after all, he is only in the congenital realm, should we ...... it"
"Stupid!" Lin Jiamei swept her eyes coldly and interrupted, "If it weren't for this Song Yan, when would we find out about the conspiracy of the Great Bright Temple?
"But...... Are we not going to do anything?" Xue Ning'er couldn't help but feel a little weak, of course she knew that Senior Sister was right, Song Yan was probably just the tip of the iceberg, and it didn't matter whether she killed or not.
And Lin Jiamei ignored her, but gently stroked the short knife on her waist: "Don't you understand? Buddhism is a family, if Buddhism martial arts can be promoted to Shenhai, then Daomen martial arts can also be promoted, and we ......"
Xue Ning'er was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted suddenly, if you want to say who in the world is most willing to see the fusion of Daowu and Wu, this senior sister of her own family decided to be one.
What she didn't expect was that Lin Jiamei was already thinking about whether to kill Xue Ning'er altogether, so that Song Hongwen's secret would only be known to her.
It's just that after thinking about it for a long time, Lin Jiamei still gave up this idea, if she wants to get the secret of Daowu fusion from Song Yan, it is far from enough to rely on her alone, she must rely on the power of the Xianyin Sect.
"Let's go. Lin Jiamei finally withdrew her hand, sighed lightly and said, "When I go back and ask the master to arrange manpower, I must find out the secret of Song Yan." ”
"Yes......" Xue Ning'er didn't know that she had already walked in front of the ghost gate, but she felt a little cold behind her inexplicably, and hurriedly nodded to follow.
