Chapter 55: Life does not bring death, and death does not take away
It wasn't until she saw Chen Guyu follow Xie Shengxian into the largest restaurant in Wangchuan City that she inadvertently frowned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of famous restaurant in the city will definitely not be a single industry, in addition to the top of the hotel it also provides many other services, the peach red willow green, light song and dance are naturally among them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be difficult for two big men to run there at this Spring Festival and drink boringly?
Of course, these are just idle things, she doesn't care at all, let alone frown because of this, she just guesses Chen Guyu's next goal.
Judging from the pointing on the inner armor, from Jinzhou in the Tang Dynasty all the way to the north, straight into the north, Yunluo has a feeling, Chen Guyu should be going to stop the view, and then think of the reminder of the wild horse Taoist before, it is not difficult to know, this should be to find Yang Li. And Yang Li was the person in the so-called Holy Land who appeared there before she came into contact with Chen Guyu, and Yunluo always remembered this very clearly.
But Chen Guyu's sudden stop in Wangchuan City made her confused, she didn't understand what to do, of course, Yunluo didn't mind, in addition to delaying her cultivation time, she was actually very free. She was not in a hurry to bring Chen Guyu back to the adjudication view, because ...... For the words of the Qingshi Daoist, she has to take a good look.
She is the elder sister of the Judgment Concept, she has never believed in anyone, just like her beliefs, she has her own way, she knows very well what she wants.
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed in Wangchuan City, the weather gradually turned colder, and the harsh winter was coming. Winter in the north is different from those in the south, and it is even more violent, with cold winds sweeping across the land, and the vegetation is yellow, and the foliage is everywhere, sometimes it is a disaster. Because of a bad defense, this sudden cold can take the lives of many people, especially for those northerners who rely on horses for their homes.
However, this impending natural disaster is not a worry at all for Chen Guyu and Xie Shengxian, one is a rich son, an imperial elite, and the other is a cultivator, who has already passed through the five elements and is not moved by the heavenly situation. They don't have to be like ordinary people to prevent frost and make up for leaks, hoard food, and still have fun in the city every day, and go all over the Fengyue places.
Of course, no matter how these two people are also people who read and understand etiquette, what they advocate is also the amorous and not vulgar promoted by the scholars of the world, Xie Shengxian's family has already set a marriage contract for him, and Chen Guyu also has a heart, so it is naturally impossible to do that immoral thing, one is to look down on it, and the other is to disdain it.
But in any case, this day-to-day affair still made Chen Guyu feel a little bored, and the affairs of the Shangchu tribe were announced by Wangchuan City in the next few days, and as time went by, this matter was gradually fermenting, and now it is even more troublesome in the city. But the people who stopped watching still didn't make any movement.
Just as Chen Guyu was about to leave alone, finally, one afternoon, Xie Shengxian rushed into the courtyard quickly.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen!"
"What?"
"Brother Chen, the masters of the Holy Land have arrived!"
Chen Guyu was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, the Holy Land Master in his mouth was the disciple of the Stopping Breath Concept, and nearly half a month after the incident in the Shangchu tribe, they finally came.
In Wangchuan City, there are three main forces, one is the bureaucratic system of the Tang Empire headed by the city lord, which is densely clinging to every corner of the city like a spider web. The second is the alliance of northerners led by the deputy city lord, who does not participate in the management and decision-making of Wangchuan City, and is independent, only concerned about the benefits that the northerners can get. The two do not interfere with each other but complement each other, and can be regarded as an extremely solid alliance between the North and the South.
And the third is the Xie family in the city. The Xie family only has one mansion in the city, and there are only a few people in the mansion now, but it has still become one of the forces to be reckoned with in the city. Because the Xie family is a real wealthy family, with hundreds of years of heritage, several people are officials in the court, and they have countless protΓ©gΓ©s under the mansion of Chang'an, all over the entire empire.
Among such three forces, the fact that the disciples of the Stopping Meditation Temple were the first to visit the Xie family was actually enough to explain everything.
When Chen Guyu and Xie Shengxian arrived in the main hall, Xie Shengxian's father was talking to a young man with a smile on his face, although there was no flattering attitude, but in that word, there was actually a little bit of humility.
No one dares to despise this northern land, even if it is just one of its disciples.
Seeing the two of them coming from the backyard, Xie Gong hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Heqing, come, uncle, let me introduce, this is the dog Xie Shengxian, this is the dog's friend, Chen Xiaoyou." β
When the young man saw Xie Gong standing up, he didn't continue to sit in his position, but also stood up, his eyes moved to the two of them, and he smiled slightly: "The literary name of the Ascending Immortal Prince, even if I rarely go down the mountain, I have heard a lot, and now when I see it, it is really worthy of the name." Under Liu Heqing, the son of the ascending immortal, is polite. β
Xie Shengxian's face flushed with excitement, he obviously didn't expect that the masters of the Holy Land had also heard of his reputation, and hurriedly returned the salute respectfully: "Senior Brother Liu...... No, Liu Gongzi, it's polite. β
"Just call me Senior Brother Liu. β
Liu Heqing looked at Chen Guyu with a smile again, although Chen Guyu was not as excited as Xie Shengxian, but he still bowed respectfully, since he wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person and mix in the concept of restlessness, then he naturally had to forget his identity, unconsciously, the Dao power in his body had stopped, and all of it was hidden in his body.
"Under the surname Chen, Chen Chuan, because he has the same interests as Brother Xie, he lived in the house for a few more days. I didn't want to be lucky enough to meet the master of the Holy Land today, it was really the favor of the saint, Senior Brother Liu, it was polite. β
Liu Heqing laughed, and said warmly: "Seeing each other is fate, and Chen Gongzi doesn't have to be polite." β
Chen Guyu couldn't help but nod secretly, in fact, since he came to this purple sky, most of the people he has seen are gentle and polite, and the higher the status, the more humble he is.
After the two parties saluted, they sat down in the hall. After a few simple words of gossip, Liu Heqing asked directly: "Uncle Xie, I don't know what happened to the Shangchu tribe?"
The purpose of his coming is the Shangchu tribe, so naturally he doesn't want to delay, the sooner the better.
Xie Gong sighed slightly: "Everyone knows that the Shangchu tribe was slaughtered, but in fact, when it comes to the truth, it is even more terrifying and unbelievable. β
"What do you mean?"
Xie Gong didn't answer, but asked again: "Heqing, with your understanding of the Holy Land, if you want to slaughter these tens of thousands of tribes, what kind of people do you need to do it?"
Liu Heqing thought about it carefully: "If I want to slaughter all these tens of thousands of people, my strength will definitely not be able to do it, at least I have to talk about the strong people above the Dao...... If you add the time limit, it is incalculable. β
"For a quarter of an hour, and there was no big movement, not even a sound!"
Hearing Xie Gong's words, Liu Heqing was stunned, and finally said with some bitterness: "If it is according to Uncle Xie's statement, there are only two words that can be explained...... Jiuxuan!"
The strongest person in the realm of Jiuxuan, the existence of the pinnacle of this world, even people like the Xie family who don't know much about the cultivation realm know the meaning of the word Jiuxuan.
Liu Heqing was also a little helpless in his heart, he went down the mountain to deal with this matter this time just because his cultivation had encountered a bottleneck, and he came to find an opportunity, but he didn't want the matter here to be so tricky, and it also involved the Nine Xuan powerhouses, what was the use of him as an inner disciple of the Stopping Meditation?
"It shouldn't be like this, what a powerful person in the Nine Profound Realm, how could he slaughter a tribe like ants, no. β
He comforted himself.
Xie Gong said: "And we also found a problem in the previous inspection. β
"What's the problem?"
"The corpse is strange. β
"Corpse?" Liu Heqing was stunned.
"Yes. It's corpses!" Xie Gong continued: "Just like the rumors outside, the entire Shangchu tribe smells of blood, and many corpses are covered with blood, and we can't bear to look at them directly, but after we examined them, we found that something was wrong. β
"None of their wounds were fatal, that is to say, none of these tens of thousands of people died because of those knife wounds, and their death was unprovoked, as if all of a sudden, all of them died at once, without the slightest problem...... And those wounds are more like being done to cover people's ears and eyes. β
Liu Heqing muttered to himself: "There is no wound, and he died suddenly, is such a method really the strength of the Nine Xuan Supreme?"
The disciple of the Meditation Meditation seemed to fall into deep thought all of a sudden. But Chen Guyu thought of another question.
"Uncle Xie, may I ask if you found anything in the pupils of the deceased in the previous examination?"
"Pupils?" Xie Gong was puzzled and shook his head: "I didn't find it, I have seen all those works in the city, and they are dead ...... No, no, Lao Sun seems to have mentioned the problem of pupils, he said...... White with red ...... Bad omen!"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Guyu suddenly realized, and then fell silent, although he found out about some things, he definitely couldn't say much, after all, he was playing an ordinary person, and it was enough to attract Liu Heqing's attention.
Liu Heqing was thinking about it just now, and now when he heard the conversation between the two, he quickly reacted and thought of what was mentioned in a sutra.
"Uncle Xie, did you say before, 'white with red, bad omen'?"
"Yes. β
"It's, the disease of the soul!"
