Chapter 244
After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!
"You are simply squirting blood, Xu has nothing to do with the blue sky outside the sky" Xu Henglei pointed at Zhang Zhao's beard and trembled, turned to look at Lu Wanchen and choked up: "Sect Master, Xu Henglei is loyal and does his best for the Red Maple Sect, how can outsiders be so slandered?"
Lu Wanchen frowned and was silent, Xu Henglei knew both literature and martial arts, and could be called a rare talent in the Red Maple Sect, although he was an elder with a foreign surname, he had never made any mistakes in everything, so he was relieved to let him follow Lu Junying to assist. However, with Zhang Zhao's current status, how could he open the river without evidence and without evidence.
"Virtuous nephew, where did you hear this news, can you tell one or two, so as not to misunderstand Elder Xu" As soon as Lu Wanchen's words came out, Xu Henglei's face suddenly turned pale, no matter whether Zhang Zhao could come up with evidence or not, he knew that he had no place in the Red Maple Sect.
Zhang Zhao looked around at the elders with a calm expression: "I once asked the senior who was injured in the fight with Yu Wendong and Hu Xiucheng, and based on his inference, even if Yu Wendong and the others have Immortal Yuan to save their lives, it will take several months for the injuries to recover as before." ”
"The two people who have been following Yuwendong and Hu Xiucheng have died, and with their depressed situation, it is a miracle to find Xianyuan within ten days, and it is impossible to lead people to seek revenge for thousands of miles. ”
Because there is something strange in it, the younger generation thinks of the attack on Lingxiao's relatives. As far as I know, at that time, Sect Master Lu's younger brother was besieged by a plot outside Red Maple City, so that the Shadow Demon was able to steal the beams and change pillars and put a strange poison on the elders. ”
"Originally, the junior couldn't be sure who this traitor was, until someone gave me a list not long ago, and it included Elder Xu's name. Combined with the things before and after, I came to ask for an understanding. ”
"Elder Zuo and those elders have a deep cultivation, even if they really meet Yuwendong and Hu Xiucheng, who have recovered from their injuries, they also have the strength to fight. The younger generation guessed that they were poisoned by their own people and lost their strength and then killed, and those who survived were of course the biggest suspects."
Elder Xu screamed when he heard this: "Speculation, you yourself admit that these are speculations, and you dare to smear Xu and the eldest young master without even real evidence, it is pure nonsense." ”
Zhang Zhao nodded at him: "Elder Xu is right, except for the injury of Yuwen Dong Hu Xiucheng and the killing of Sect Master Lu's brother outside the city, the rest are all speculations of juniors, and there is no conclusive evidence. ”
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, these things are in front of them, and there is a fair opinion on the merits, and I don't want to make assumptions alone when I bring it up to my face. Maybe there are details that no one has paid attention to before, but now they can think about it from a different position. ”
Zhang Zhao turned to look at Lu Wanchen: "Sect Master Lu, you have seen the senior who injured Yu Wendong and Hu Xiucheng in Aoki City, and the few people on the list who have been verified are indeed ill-intentioned. The younger generation has a little understanding of the method of peeping into the soul, and Elder Xu is very confused when he talks about the past, but there is one thing that the younger generation doesn't understand, why Brother Lu also insists that he has seen Yu Wendong and the others. ”
Lu Wanchen's face was gloomy, and after thinking about it, his eyes when he looked at Xu Henglei were already full of murderous intent: "Xu Henglei, the Red Maple Sect treats you well, but you are planning to harm my relatives, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in the heart of this sect master with a thousand cuts." ”
Seeing that Xu Henglei still had to argue, Lu Wanchen coldly interrupted: "Needless to say, the whereabouts of the first three brothers of Lingxiao are indeed known by many people and it is difficult to distinguish, but those brothers have lost their lives on Lingxiao, after Elder Zuo passed away this time, there is no one else except you and me, could it be that this sect master sold his own brother?"
"I hurt Yuwendong, Hu Xiucheng, that person, this sect master has seen it with his own eyes, and Zhang Zhaoxian's nephew has no grudge against you. What's more, don't you remember when you are the sect master? When you greet your family, Junying said that she is sick, and when the beast tide comes, she stays in the city under the pretext of something, and the two confirm it, who else will there be besides you?"
"We have known each other for decades and know each other well, at this point, if you still refuse to admit it, you will force the sect master to torture" Lu Wanchen turned to his eldest son Junying, who was trembling all over, with a sad expression: "Junying, you can also tell me, why do you hurt your own brother ruthlessly?"
Lu Junying's body was like a sifting chaff, and his teeth were rattling, and he fell to his knees with sweat like rain: "Dad, the child is confused for a while, please spare me this time"
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Xu Henglei wanted to escape as soon as his body moved, but the elders in the hall were already vigilant, and dozens of people surrounded him everywhere, gritting their teeth and their eyes were bloodshot: "Xu Henglei, I didn't expect that the spy was really you, who murdered so many brothers, do you still want to leave?"
Xu Henglei saw that there was no way to escape, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Haha, a hundred secrets, Xu has thought that there will be today since he entered the Red Maple Sect" He looked at Zhang Zhao with his eyes like electricity: "Zhang Shaoxia, Xu has something unknown, please let me die to understand, who betrayed me?"
Zhang Zhao looked at him calmly: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen the true face of that person, I think he should have a deep grudge against the sky, so I tried my best to find out your secret and make it public." ”
"It doesn't make sense, we people" Xu Henglei muttered in a low voice with a puzzled expression, but he could feel that Zhang Zhao did not hide the truth: "Forget it, I don't need to worry about things in the future." ”
"It's a pity, in the end, it's still a failure" His hands were shining, Xu Henglei suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the palace gate, more than a dozen elders of the Red Maple Sect were ready to shoot at the same time, and the light and shadow of the maple leaves in the sky stopped him head-on.
"Leave him alive" Lu Wanchen's voice just sounded, and Xu Henglei's strength was rapidly constricted, and he bombarded himself with the fierce resistance of more than a dozen elders: "Sect Master, see you in the next life"
Everyone couldn't stop it, Xu Henglei was covered in blood all over his body, and he fell to the ground softly, and his tendons were broken and he was killed on the spot. Several elders stepped forward to inspect Hou Wu and hated himself: "It's really cheap for him to die like this." ”
Lu Wanchen turned his head to look at his son who was paralyzed and couldn't afford to look cold: "Junying, it is indeed dangerous to go to Lingxiao to welcome your relatives that day, it is understandable that you will not be a father under the pretext of illness, but Junxiong Junjie and you are biological brothers, how can you do it?"
"You have gradually distanced yourself from the child since you came back from Lingxiao, Mr. Xu said that you deliberately passed on the position of the city lord to the second brother, but the child was wrong" Lu Jun's incoherent English completely collapsed: "Later, Mr. Xu said that he had received the news, and the beast tide was strong, and you would definitely be wiped out, so the child listened to his idea"
"You rebel, it's really a pity to die" Lu Wanchen touched his chest with his hand and trembled: "Come on, take him to me, put him on death row and not allow people to visit, even his mother." ”
It wasn't until Lu Junying's plea for mercy was far away for a long time that Lu Wanchen calmed down and thanked Zhang Zhao: "Thanks to the wisdom of the virtuous nephew, the truth can be revealed, and finally I can get a little justice for those brothers who died in vain, and let the Red Maple Sect have no worries from now on." ”
Zhang Zhaolian didn't dare to feel a lot in his heart, that day he killed the murderous monk in the three-point city and witnessed the evil deeds of the blood demon, but later he had to rely on Changqingzi's clever tongue, and then use the momentum of the Red Maple Sect and Xuanmu City to perfunctory. Now that he has come alone, he can point to the elders and young masters of the other sects, and it seems that this status is really important.
Since the battle of the beast tide, Ling Xiao has faintly become the leader of the Northern Regions of Xuanmu, and the business of the Sea Demon has been booming day by day, and the agency caravans have been constantly traveling back and forth to transport goods from all over the world, and the prosperity of the door has risen to a higher level than before.
These days, the elders of the leisure hall have tasted all kinds of food, and they go to the lake to fish for fun in their spare time, all of them are full of red light and are in good spirits, but they are always a little lost in their hearts. Zhang Zhao hadn't returned for several months, and Sheng Jin also returned to Xuanjin Yu to go to Zhang Luo's relatives.
"It's weird, when Sheng Datou is around, I think his nagging is annoying. But as soon as he left, I felt that something was missing next to me. Uncle and brother, do you think I have some heart disease?"
Leng Pingyuan's words made everyone laugh, and Shu Jiuling sighed: "Senior Brother Leng, not only you, but even me, don't look at what Senior Brother Sheng says on weekdays is boring gossip, but I am used to hearing it suddenly calm down, this day is really a bit difficult." ”
There was a knock at the door, and the black-cheeked monkey dragged in with a large pile of things. After Xiaobai disappeared with the beast tide, he still served tea and food every day.
"Ho, what are you going to eat today, and there's something new?" Seeing the black-cheeked monkey set up a small round furnace with many flame runes engraved in front of each of them, the eyes of the elders were all attracted to it.
They waited for a while and didn't see any more movement of the black-cheeked monkey, and when they were feeling strange, a person walked quickly into the door of the hall, and a familiar voice then sounded: "Master, uncles, I'm back." ”
Zhang Zhao walked in briskly with two large food boxes, skillfully arranged the dishes and chopsticks in front of the elders, and put plates of cut fresh meat and white jade cups on the table.
He carried two octagonal silver kettles and greeted the elders one by one, first poured milky white wine in their cups, and then added some fire oil to the small furnace, and flashed the red light in his hand: "The best yellow mutton in Huayan Grassland, with the oven sour wine of the Xuanhuo Domain, you can taste it." ”
Drinking the sweet and sour and refreshing wine, dipping it in the fragrant ingredients and swallowing the fatty and tender barbecue, the elders were full of praise: "Zhang Zhao, your craftsmanship is really not lagging behind, if you want to talk about the tricks in eating, those boys in the back kitchen can't compare to you." ”
Zhang Zhao also felt comfortable when he saw that they were happy to eat: "Everyone has won the award, I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, these things have already been available in the Xuanhuo Domain, I will use them to piece together by the way." ”
All the elders had heard of what happened in the Xuanhuo Domain, but it still had a special meaning when they heard Zhang Zhao say it himself. After they had eaten and drunk, Liu Feng asked a topic that no one wanted to mention: "Zhang Zhao, how long will you stay when you come back this time?"
"I'll leave tomorrow, go to the wasteland first, and come back in a few days to get some immortal yuan and send it to the Dao seniors. Zhang Zhao's answer made the elders sigh in their hearts, and after he left, Li Mengshan couldn't help but sigh loudly: "Are we old or have the way of the world changed?
He had never heard of anyone who had ever gone deep into the Desolate Tribe, and there was no detailed description of the Desolate Tribes in the books Zhang Zhao had read, and in his impression, it should be a desolate and barren land.
But the vastness of this wasteland greatly exceeded his expectations, and after flying high into the air on the Scorpion Dragon Beast, Zhang Zhao looked at the reckless loess, and could not find any similar city in his field of vision.
The grass and trees you see by chance are low and sparse, less than a foot, and the color is yellow-brown like earth, without flowers and fruits. Without those desolate warriors leading the way, no caravan would dare to set foot on such an empty and boundless land.
After walking out of this barren land for two days and one night, even Zhang Zhao was a little breathless, the agency caravan was walking fast for nearly 10,000 miles, and the long loess in front of it still stretched endlessly like a vast sea.
"Brother Wu, are you sure we didn't go in the wrong direction?" With a short break, Zhang Zhao finally expressed the doubt in his heart, and the desolate warrior who had fought Cai Zhixu to the death bowed his head respectfully: "Don't worry, the owner has walked this road dozens of times, and it will never be wrong." ”
"Lao Wu, how far is it? I heard that you have eight desolate cities, why haven't you seen any of them until now?" The disciples of the Mo family who controlled the machine talisman in the caravan all gathered around, and they walked around the Wuxuan with the desolate warriors during these days, and they talked to each other a lot.
According to his cultivation, Ulik is already close to the realm of Yin and Yang Incarnation, and he is also high in any of the five Xuan sects, but he never complains about moving goods and carts like an ordinary fellow, and these young disciples are amazed and get along with him very well.
"At our pace, we can reach the nearest city in two days," Ulik called Zhang Zhao like the rest of the caravan, "The owner is hard, and the residence of our clan is indeed a little too far." ”
Zhang Zhao asked curiously: "Then every time you came to Wuxuan, you had to walk such a long way before?" Ulik and several Desolate Clan warriors nodded at the same time: "We are the closest, and the rest of the cities are even farther away, and ordinary people have to walk for at least half a year to go to those markets in the Xuanjin Domain." ”
Judging from the current itinerary, the entire wasteland should be several times larger than Wuxuan, and the breadth of the area can only be compared with the deep sea where the Xuanshui Palace is located, but the barren materials are far from the sea.
There were no horses in the caravan that did not need to be replenished with aquatic plants, and when Zhang Zhao asked them about the source of their daily food, Ulik reached out and pulled out a thick earthy yellow grass root next to him and handed it over: "These yellow fern grasses look small on the outside but have lush roots and beards, and they taste good." ”
Chewing on the rough grass roots that can barely be called not bitter, Zhang Zhao secretly made a comparison, these tens of thousands of miles of yellow earth are not much better than the nine shades in addition to the bright sunlight.
After several rolling yellow winds, Zhang Zhao finally saw the traces of people in front of him, but it was not a city at all, it was just a large ruin wall barely encircled by an earthen wall.
"It is an honor for our people to visit. Da Wurong led the crowd to personally take out of the deserted city, looked at Zhang Zhao and smiled kindly: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few months, your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and the future life is terrifying." ”
"The senior has won the award, why don't I feel it?" Da Wu Rong heard his voice and turned his head slightly to think about it: "In the eyes of my clan, the highest level of cultivation is not how many enemies can be killed on the battlefield, but every word and deed must convince others. ”
