Section 7 Smelling the Fragrance Sect Master

At the same time that Liu Yunwei and others posted the recruitment order everywhere, Shen Zhi, who had broken through and escaped from Maitreya Village, traveled all the way west, and fled with the remaining dozen or so men in the direction of Yuncheng, and finally arrived in Yuncheng in the evening two days later. After Shen Zhi and his party bribed the soldiers defending the city to enter the city, they did not go to Xu Hongru to report first, but came to the door of a secret house in Yuncheng.

Shen Zhi stood in front of the door and looked left and right, and then glanced at his subordinates, and the dozen or so subordinates quietly scattered, disappearing into the darkness, secretly sealing off the alley where the house was located, and Shen Zhi knocked on the door softly. A moment later, the courtyard door was opened, and a thin middle-aged man leaned out, looked around, and then said to Shen Zhi, "Lord Shen Helm? How's things going? Did you bring Lord Xu Helm back? ”

At this time, Shen Zhi's gloomy face could squeeze out water, glanced at the man, and said in a low voice: "Things have changed, let's go in first." Then he walked into the courtyard.

The middle-aged man was also shocked when he saw this, knowing that something must have happened, and after looking at the situation outside the door again, he hurriedly retreated into the courtyard and closed the courtyard door.

The two of them walked into the main room one after the other, and then closed the door and lit a candle.

Shen Zhi sat on a chair, but his face was black and he didn't say a word. Seeing this, the man frowned and asked, "I said Lord Shen Helm, what happened?" Where is the owner of Xu Duo? You have something to say! ”

Shen Zhi slammed the table and said fiercely: "Then Xu Heyu is simply a magic barrier!" It's a big thing to ruin the sect! ”

"What!" The middle-aged man was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Lord Shen Helm, you make it clear to me! ”

Shen Zhi angrily slammed a teacup on the table on the ground, and then said: "Then Xu Heyu didn't know what nerves he had, he actually incited the sect to besiege a group of officers and soldiers from Liaodong in Dengzhou City, and then even used his Guardian King Kong to intercept and kill two officers and soldiers of that group of officers and soldiers!" Master Chen, tell me about it! Did Xu Heyu destroy the sect with his own hands, and ruined the big thing of the sect! ”

That middle-aged man was Chen Canyu, the thinker of the Wenxiang Sect, who had always been resourceful and loyal to the Wenxiang Sect, and had won the respect of Wang Sen, the founding leader of the Wenxiang Sect. Later, Wang Sen was arrested by the government and died in prison, and Chen Canyu switched to Xu Hongru's command.

After listening to Shen Zhi's words, Chen Canyu was so shocked that he bounced up from his seat, and then said bitterly: "What is Lord Xu Duo going to do!" Our sect now has no strength to be able to get on the stage except for the two thousand Guardian King Kong, how can we provoke the officials and soldiers at this time! Sect Leader Xu Ying Ming I, how could he have such a stupid younger brother! So where is Xu Heyuren? ”

Shen Zhi sneered and said, "Where else can he be?" I found him in a village about a day's journey east of Jinan, and I tried to persuade him to bring him back, but the madman asked me to join him in encouraging the sect leader to revolt! ”

Chen Canyu was shocked when he heard Shen Zhi's words, and asked, "What about later!" ”

"Later?" Shen Zhi said angrily: "Later, the group of officers and soldiers provoked by Xu Heyu suddenly surrounded the village, and I wanted to take him to break through and escape back, but who knew that Xu Heyu was actually delusional to incite the villagers to surround and annihilate the official army!" Say nothing and don't come with me. ”

After listening to Shen Zhi's words, Chen Canyu couldn't help but scold: "Does he Xu Heyu still have brains?" ”

Shen Zhi said angrily: "Of course he Xu Heyu has a brain, he still wants to make the sect leader the emperor and himself the prince!" It's a pity that he Xu Heyu was burned by the Buddhist scriptures of the sect, and he really thought that as long as he believed in the Smelling Fragrance Sect, he would be able to be possessed by heavenly soldiers! I still want to hope that those foolish men and foolish women will become an army of millions! ”

Chen Canyu was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, panting heavily, and then asked, "What about others?" ”

"Dead, he won't go with me."

Chen Canyu almost fell to the ground when he heard this, and exclaimed, "What! Then you left Xu Heyu in that village? ”

Shen Zhi asked rhetorically, "Then what can I do?" Die there with him? ”

"What can I do?" Chen Canyu said in a disdainful manner: "If this matter is known to the sect master, you won't be able to eat and leave!" You found me tonight, maybe I'll be implicated too, Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi, you hurt me. ”

"Haha."

"What are you laughing at?"

Shen Zhi said: "I laugh at our sect leader, this time there should be no kung fu to punish us." ”

When Chen Canyu heard this, he had a premonition that something big had happened, so he asked carefully, "How do you say this?" ”

Shen Zhi leaned over to Chen Canyu and whispered: "On the way back, I received a flying pigeon summons, and learned that the group of officials and soldiers had colluded with the Gao family in Jinan. ”

The cold sweat on Chen Canyu's head couldn't stop flowing down, a pair of small eyes turned back and forth, and after a while, he stood up abruptly and said, "The matter has come to this, you and I will go to see the sect leader together." This matter is related to the life and death of the sect, and the sect leader must come out to save the situation. ”

Shen Zhi nodded and said, "That's exactly what I wanted, that's what I meant when I came to Master Chen first." Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to go to the sect leader alone. ”

Chen Canyu glared at Shen Zhi, and then said, "Let's go!" Let's go now! ”

Half an hour later, Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu came to a mansion near the west gate of Yuncheng together, and the two knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

Shen Zhi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and said to Chen Canyu: "Master Chen, it is impossible for the main altar to be unattended, what's wrong today, is something wrong?" ”

Chen Canyu was also surprised, and said: "Knock again, maybe the people inside didn't hear it." ”

At this moment, a child appeared out of nowhere on the empty street, ran straight to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Don't knock on the door again, two gentlemen, please go to the dense forest in the western suburbs outside the city, the person you want to find is waiting for you there, you must be fast." ”

After saying that, the child turned around and ran away, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared, leaving only Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu on the empty street.

Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes, and white sweat broke out on their foreheads. The two were stunned for a while, but Chen Canyu was the first to open his mouth and said, "Why did the sect leader run to that place, did the sect leader already know the news of Xu Duo Master?" ”

Shen Zhi nodded and said, "It should be, otherwise how could you ask us to go to the dense forest in the western suburbs?" Where is the largest mass grave outside Yuncheng City! ”

Chen Canyu became anxious when he heard this, and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Shen Zhi said angrily: "What else can I do?" Let's go together! ”

After speaking, Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu bribed the soldiers guarding the city gate, walked out of the city from the west gate, and hurried all the way to the mass grave in the dense forest.

After the two dismounted, they observed the situation around them, and saw that there was a faint fire flickering in front of them, so they searched for it together. When I got closer, I saw a man in his thirties burning fire paper in front of a new grave, and there was no one around.

Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu glanced at each other, then stepped forward together and saluted, saying, "Subordinates see the sect leader." ”

That man was the leader of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong: Xu Hongru.

At this moment, Xu Hongru didn't even raise his head, he was still burning paper money slowly, and the jumping flames kept flickering, reflecting Xu Hongru's expressionless face uncertainly, looking very terrifying.

Chen Canyu and Shen Zhi still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and at the same time they didn't dare to say anything, at this moment, there were no other sounds around except for the sound of paper money burning, and the atmosphere became a little weird for a while.

After all the previous ones in Xu Hongru's hands were burned, the entire mass grave fell into complete darkness, Chen Canyu and Shen Zhi looked at the surrounding environment where they couldn't see their fingers, their hearts were full of fear, and beads of sweat flowed down like rain.

Shen Zhi couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, fell directly to the ground, and said loudly: "The subordinates are not doing well, so that Lord Xu Duo was killed by the officials and soldiers, please ask the master to punish him!" ”

Chen Canyu also followed up and said: "Please teach the Lord's Day condolences, everything is important to the major affairs of the sect!" ”

But there was no other sound around except for gusts of wind, and no one answered Shen Zhi and Chen Canyu. The two of them knelt on the ground, and the fear in their hearts had reached the point of no return.

After a long time, Shen Zhi felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he jumped up violently and shouted loudly, "Sect Master! Then he ran towards the new grave.

Chen Canyu next to him was also startled, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Shen, you are crazy!" ”

Who knew that Shen Zhi's exclamation came from the front: "Master Chen, come over quickly!" ”

When Chen Canyu heard this, he ran over and crawled, only Shen Zhi stood there in front of the new grave, and Xu Hongru had already disappeared.

Chen Canyu suddenly sat down on the ground, gasped for breath, and said, "Our sect leader is really elusive!" Let's see if the sect leader has left any orders. ”

Shen Zhi came back to his senses and hurriedly searched for it nearby, and after only a while, he found a note on the grave. The two hurriedly read it in the faint moonlight, only to see that there was only one sentence written on the note: "Early tomorrow morning, all the general altars will meet to discuss the revenge plan - Xu Hongru." ”
