Chapter 205: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
The location was confirmed, but the next step was even more difficult. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info guarded by Situ Juan, and it was impossible for Nie Chen to sneak into the secret passage without being discovered by the other party.
Once the two sides clash, Situ Juan will definitely be on the other side. This will be very unfavorable to Nie Chen's situation. Unless Nie Chen is ruthless, he directly uses the fire phoenix to kill the two of them.
"But this Situ Juan, after all, is Aunt Feng's niece. I was entrusted by Aunt Feng, even if I couldn't take care of one or two of them, it was not good to kill them directly. With the power of the fire phoenix, I'm afraid that the shot will be a lore, and I may not be able to control the overall situation.
Now it seems that only by finding a way to lure this Situ Juan away first, can I attack Hei Ye.
The best way to lure Situ Juan away is the Cardinal Sect. Borrow their power to attract Situ Juan's attention. However, the Cardinal Sect is a bit far away, and it is impossible for me to go to their sect to find someone.
Perhaps, I can borrow their banner to make a strong noise. ”
Thinking of this, Nie Chen's eyes flashed, and he quickly had an idea in his heart.
Leaving Jiuhua Mountain, Nie Chen went directly to Jiuhua Town at the foot of the mountain and found an inn to settle down temporarily.
Jiuhua Town, as always, is calm and serene. As night fell, pedestrians returned home one by one, and there were few people on the streets.
At this moment, a red shadow flashed and fell into the middle of the street, but it was a red-clothed lama. The lama paused, scanned the surroundings, and finally looked at the only silver horn in the town, and walked over.
The silver horn has long since closed the door, and the door has been closed on the door. Inside the silver number, an oil lamp was beating slowly, and a middle-aged man was lying on the counter, carefully calculating the accounts. He is the shopkeeper of this silver horn and the richest man in Jiuhua Town.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, the door panel was kicked through, and the red-clothed lama stepped straight in.
"What are you going to do!" the shopkeeper was taken aback and subconsciously shouted.
"Lao Tzu is a red-clothed teacher, and I have been a little short of money recently, so I came to you to borrow some coils. The red-robed lama spoke in a rough voice.
Hearing the words of the cardinal, the shopkeeper jumped, and his heart was dark. Although he was not a monk, he had to travel around because of his business, and he had long heard of the notoriety of the Cardinals.
Now that the villains have come to the door, whether the money will be lost or not, the shopkeeper has long been indifferent. What he worries about now is whether he can save his life.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, the shopkeeper's knees weakened, and he knelt directly on the ground: "The hero spares his life, I will give you whatever you want, I just ask the hero not to kill me." ”
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, I won't kill you. Now, hand me over all your money here, and if you dare to leave even a tael of silver, I will let your head fall to the ground. The red-robed lama commanded.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" the shopkeeper dared to say no, opened the cabinet door with trembling hands, and removed all the cash in the silver number.
Although Jiuhua Town is not small, it is a township after all, and how big can the silver number here be. The shopkeeper emptied everything, and it was only a thousand taels of silver.
The red-clothed lama glanced at it, looked very dissatisfied, waved his big hand, and grabbed the shopkeeper into his hand: "Boy, do you want to find death!"
"The good man spared his life, I have already moved out all the cash according to the good man's instructions. I beg a good man to see that I am old and young, so let go of the small one this time!"
The red-clothed lama frowned, let go of his hand, and threw the shopkeeper to the ground: "I see that you have some filial piety, so I will spare your life for the time being." But it's only a thousand taels, don't think about sending me away.
I'll give you a day, and you'll prepare me 10,000 taels of silver. If I don't see the ten thousand taels of silver tomorrow night, you can ask your family to collect your body.
By the way, don't try to escape, our people are just outside the town. If you try to escape, this is the end of you!"
As he spoke, the red-clothed lama took two steps forward and slapped his palm on the counter. The palm was silent, and the counter did not change, not even a trace of vibration. It seems that the red-clothed lama's palm does not have a trace of strength.
After doing this, the red-clothed lama did not delay any longer, waved his hand to put away a thousand taels of silver, and walked away!
Seeing the other party's figure disappear, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Rising from the ground, the shopkeeper walked to the counter with a look of doubt on his face.
This counter is safe and sound, so what is the explanation for the other party's threatening words.
Puzzled, the shopkeeper subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched the corner of the counter where there was nothing abnormal.
At the moment of its touch, the counter suddenly shook, and in an instant it turned into powder. The shopkeeper was stunned, his fingers kept stretching forward, and he looked at the fluttering powder in a daze, and cold sweat quietly rolled down his forehead.
The red-clothed lama's hand completely suppressed the shopkeeper and completely strangled his last bit of luck. You can't escape, but raising 10,000 cash is something you can't do at all.
Not to mention whether people are willing to help or not, even if the reason is to help, no one can come up with so much cash.
"It's going to shut me up!" the shopkeeper lamented, dragging his limp legs back to his backyard.
In the backyard, the shopkeeper's wife had not yet rested, and when she saw her husband like this, she hurried to the front to inquire about the reason. The shopkeeper didn't hide it, and he told the story of what happened tonight as it was.
After hearing this, his wife's face was also like ashes. However, she still has a nimble mind and quickly thinks of a solution.
"As soon as the morning dawned, the master went up to Jiuhua Mountain and asked to see the Jiuhua Fairy. Over the years, she has received a lot of incense from us, and it is time for her to contribute. ”
"Jiuhua Fairy! yes, why did I forget this. The shopkeeper's heart was relieved, and most of his heart was put down.
I didn't sleep all night, and before dawn the next day, the shopkeeper hurriedly went up and bowed directly in front of Situ Juan's mountain gate.
Situ Juan is known as the Jiuhua Fairy, but it is not easy to turn a blind eye to the people under the mountain. I had to step out and ask the shopkeeper why he came.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, and relayed what happened to him again.
After hearing this, Situ Juan's face sank: "Are you sure that he is really a member of the Cardinal Sect?"
"He said it himself, and the red robe on his body is somewhat similar to the legendary red-coat costume. The shopkeeper replied.
Situ Juan's eyes flashed, and a few doubts appeared in her heart: "According to reason, it is impossible for the other party to come to the door so quickly." Could it be that there were other disciples passing by, and because they were greedy for money, they made a plunder?
Or that this person is fake, someone is pretending to be a cardinal cult to plunder money. However, the power of the Cardinal Sect is huge, and ordinary people dare not pretend to be it. And the cultivators are advanced, and they have no interest in pretending to be the red-clothed sect to collect money.
In addition, there is another possibility, that is, someone is taking advantage of this incident to deliberately lead me out. If that's the case, then what is the other party's purpose, is it to deal with me, or to deal with my Ye Lang.
According to common sense, I shouldn't care, lest I fall for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. It's just that I have been worshiped by the people under the mountain for many years, and if I don't ask at this time, I will inevitably have some destructive statements.
I'll go down the hill and see what tricks he can play. As for here, there is a formation to guard, and I believe that ordinary people can't get in!"
