Chapter 257: I Have Only One Question
On a certain level, Luo Chuan's words are quite disrespectful.
Because Xu Cheng is an elder of the Ling Sword Sect, and he is just an outer disciple, he dares to call him by his name, and he is standing in the gate of the torture hall in charge of the sect law, standing on Elder Xu's territory, if he is not Luo Chuan, he may not know how many times he has died.
Wen Shuishui's eyes changed slightly, and he was about to say something, when he saw the jade plate that made people shudder appear in front of him.
There is a word "sword" written on it.
So Wen Shushui could only swallow back the words that had reached his mouth, and his heart sank to the bottom.
The last time Luo Chuan came to the torture hall as a sword envoy, a personal disciple and three core disciples died in the torture hall, this time, Luo Chuan directly asked to see Elder Xu, what did he want to do?
With incomparable vigilance in his heart, Wen Shushui's voice sounded unhurriedly.
"Since it is the Lord who wields the sword, please allow me to enter the hall and make a report. ”
Luo Chuan simply raised his hand neatly: "No need, you just lead the way." ”
Wen Shushui hesitated for a moment, but finally lowered his head: "Yes." ”
Su Chang saw that he saw a few people walking into the depths of the torture hall, but he was quite surprised to find that Xie Changjing, who was now the second-in-command of the Baicao Hall, did not go with him.
On the contrary, it was the little maid named Hongdou who always followed Luo Chuan's left and right.
"Senior Brother Xie, it seems that you have a lot of confidence in Senior Brother Luo. ”
Su Changjian's words were very subtle, and the implication was nothing more than worrying that there was an ambush in the torture hall, and Luo Chuan was single-handed, which was too big.
In this regard, Xie Changjing just smiled slightly: "I really can't think of it, why would the torture hall dare to murder a sword-wielding master?"
Su Changjian was silent, and seemed to have reservations about Xie Changjing's words.
Until Xie Changjing said the second sentence.
"What's more, who is Senior Brother Luo's opponent in the current torture hall?"
When the words fell, Su Changjian's heart suddenly tightened, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized a fact that had always been ignored by himself and Wen Shuishui.
Today's Luochuan is no longer the same as on Chinese New Year's Eve!
Putting aside all other factors, just relying on the rumors that Luo Chuan killed Chen Tong in the Moon Shadow Secret Realm, it is enough to show that at this time, he at least has the strength to fight with the Peak Realm of Washing Stars!
And how high is the cultivation of Xu Cheng, the elder of the torture hall?
It just so happens that it is also the pinnacle of the Star Washing Realm.
Thinking of this, Su Changjian decided not to stay here, but turned around directly and hurried in the direction of Xunlu Hall.
At the same time, Nie Xuanyu, Li Dazhuang and other disciples of the Hundred Grass Hall slowly appeared and walked into the gate of the torture hall.
"Senior Brother Xie, what should I do next?"
Xie Changjing stretched out his hand and pointed to the three torture hall disciples who were kneeling on the ground: "Da Zhuang, you personally escort these three people back to the hall, and the rest of the people, firmly surround the torture hall for me, without my order today, not a single fly can be released!"
"Yes!"
Regardless of whether Xie Changjing's actions were instructed by Luo Chuan, it is undeniable that at this time, the torture hall already has a taste of being strong on the outside and dry on the outside.
From the perspective of disciples alone, except for the hall seat, there are no core disciples who can be brought to the table, so there is really no ambush in today's torture hall.
is also as Xie Changjing said, even if there is an ambush, for today's Luo Chuan, if he wants to break through, there is really no one who can stop him.
So this time he came with red beans, which is very puzzling.
As we all know, Luo Chuan is not only talented in medicine, but his combat strength is also extremely terrifying, whether it is swordsmanship or physical strength, it is difficult for people of his generation to match.
But red beans are different.
To this day, the red bean has still not succeeded in descending to the stars.
Therefore, in Wen Suishui's view, Luo Chuan's willingness to walk hand in hand with Hongdou today indicates that he will not have too much conflict with the torture hall.
Otherwise, once a fierce battle breaks out between the two sides, Luo Chuan will definitely be timid in order to protect the red beans.
This was also the main reason why he was willing to take Luo Chuan to meet Elder Xu.
This time, Wen Shushui did not take Luo Chuan to the council chamber, nor to the dungeon, but came to the front of a thatched house.
Without waiting for Luo Chuan to step forward, Wen Shushui took the first step and said, "Tell the elder, hold the sword and make the lord come to see you." ”
When the words fell, the wooden door of the thatched hut opened silently, and a gust of yin wind quietly hit it, making people's vests cold, Luo Chuan's face did not change, but he just clenched the sword command in his hand, and then a warm halo shrouded him and Hongdou's bodies, expelling the coldness.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Chuan saw the biggest goal of his trip.
Elder of the torture hall, Xu Cheng.
"It turned out that it was the master who was holding the sword, and Xu was disappointed, so don't be surprised. ”
Luo Chuan smiled lightly: "Elder Xu is serious. ”
With that, he took the red bean and walked into the thatched hut by himself, and said to Wen Shushui without looking back: "Wen Tangzao, I don't want anyone to disturb my conversation with Elder Xu next. ”
Hearing this, Wen Suishui's footsteps just froze in place, he raised his eyes, looked at the eyes of his family elder, and then nodded: "Obey the orders of the sword envoy." ”
The next moment, the door of the thatched hut was closed again, and the light in front of Luo Chuan's eyes immediately dimmed, and a lifeless smell immediately spread, making Luo Chuan frown secretly.
In fact, since Luo Chuan became a disciple of the Ling Sword Sect, there hadn't been much intersection between him and Xu Cheng, or to be more precise, today was the first time that Luo Chuan had spoken to this torture hall elder so closely.
The most recent contact between the two sides was five years ago, on the eve of the outer entrance examination, Luo Chuan was drunk and died in Yanyu Building, and afterwards Xu Cheng, as an elder of the torture hall, was responsible for investigating the inside story of the matter, and finally came to the conclusion that it was an accident.
Later, whether it was Dou Jingxing going to Baicao Hall to trouble Luochuan, or the new Chinese New Year's Eve Luochuan Blood Torture Hall, this Elder Xu did not show up.
Oh, by the way, when Luo Chuan was ordered by Elder Taishang to enter the Ming Sword Pavilion for a banquet, Luo Chuan gave Xu Cheng a glass of wine, but that's all, the two didn't talk more during the banquet.
After all, before this, Luo Chuan was just an outer disciple, and the other party was an elder, the difference in status between the two sides was too big, if Xu Cheng hadn't taken the initiative to find Luo Chuan, the latter would have been difficult to see him.
But today is different.
Today's Luo Chuan is a sword bearer.
So after entering the thatched hut, without waiting for Xu Cheng to speak, Luo Chuan sat on a bamboo chair with a golden sword, but Hongdou stood behind him very obediently.
Seeing this, Xu Cheng was stunned at first, and seemed to be a little unaccustomed to the other party's unscrupulous attitude, and then slowly sat down.
"I don't know what the sword-wielding envoy came to Xu today, what did he order?"
Luo Chuan smiled slightly: "Elder Xu's words are serious, and I don't dare to talk about it, but I really want to ask Elder Xu for something when I come this time." ”
Xu Cheng gently crossed his hands between his knees, nodded and said, "It's okay to hold the sword and make your lord." ”
Luo Chuan said unhurriedly: "Half a month ago, I was framed by Yuan Xiaohua and became the public enemy of the entire Qingzhou cultivation world, and the torture hall intended to use this as an excuse to set foot in my Baicao Hall, today, it may be excusable, but I don't accept it." ”
When the words fell, Xu Cheng secretly raised his eyebrows, his crossed hands relaxed, and said with a smile: "It turns out that for this matter, the sword holder can rest assured, since this time it is my torture hall offense first, I will definitely give Baicaotang a reasonable explanation, I have left this matter to Wen Shushui to deal with, if the sword envoy wants to seek justice for Baicaotang, you can discuss with him." ”
Luo Chuan nodded and said: "Wen Tangzuo has already expressed his sincerity in this matter, the three murderers who injured Murong Xiaoqing have been punished, and Wen Tangzuo has proposed that he is willing to use the twenty percent of the post-war resources that your hall can obtain as compensation." ”
Hearing this, Xu Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "In this way, the sword holding makes the lord not satisfied with this. ”
In this regard, Luo Chuan was noncommittal, and also smiled: "If it is from the position of Baicaotang, of course I can accept such conditions, but ......"
"But?"
"But for me personally, it's not enough. ”
Xu Cheng slowly leaned forward, stared at Luo Chuan's calm face carefully, and asked, "So, I don't know what the sword-wielding master still wants from my torture hall?"
"The crux of the matter is not the torture hall. Luo Chuan shook his head: "It's Elder Xu." ”
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "Forgive Xu for being stupid and not understanding what the sword envoy meant." ”
Luo Chuan said with a smile: "I can agree to the compensation plan proposed by Wen Tangzuo, but the premise is that I need Elder Xu to answer me a question. ”
Xu Chengyi raised his eyebrows: "Please speak." ”
The smile on Luo Chuan's face became calmer and calmer, and he slowly spoke: "Elder Xu should know that I entered the Moon Shadow Secret Realm this time, it can be said that I have gained quite a lot, in addition to successfully stopping the conspiracy of the Yan people, I have also obtained a lot of magic weapons and talismans, of course, the most important thing is that I finally broke through the realm to the ...... of the stars."
Xu Cheng listened to Luo Chuan's narration, which seemed to be unrelated to the previous topic, and didn't know why, but a hint of alarm suddenly rose in his heart, this kind of unprovoked and defenseless vigilance made Xu Cheng clench his fingers again and straighten his back slightly.
It was also at this time that he heard several distant and familiar names from Luo Chuan's mouth.
"But what Elder Xu may not know is that my biggest gain in the Moon Shadow Secret Realm this time was that I met three people, their names were Zhou Haohui, Liu Ci, and Chen Jiulin. ”
When the words fell, Xu Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he finally realized what the question Luo Chuan wanted to ask today, but even so, Xu Cheng still didn't make much movement, just lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Xu still doesn't understand, what does the sword envoy want to ask?"
Luo Chuan smiled slightly: "I want to know, what is the truth about the battle of Yanyulou five years ago?"
Xu Cheng shook his head: "The results of the investigation of this matter, I have already reported to the sect, it is just an accident." ”
Xu Chuan's smile remained unchanged: "It seems that Elder Xu is not going to meet my request, so ......"
"So?"
"In that case, I'll have to kill you. ”
