Chapter 51: Another Conspiracy
When a master finished speaking and the topic ended, Chu Xiang said; "Ladies and gentlemen, this meeting is enough to clear up your doubts. You can bend down to come, Chu is lucky, thank you for your teaching. Chu bowed to all sides.
Then Chu Xiang announced loudly: "The meeting of the Dao is over here, the outer Daoists please leave first, and the middle Daoists please rest easy." ”
Listening to Chu Xiang's announcement that the meeting was over, some people were reluctant and some regretted, but most of them were already satisfied, and under Chu Xiang's command, they evacuated quietly and orderly.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: I have benefited a lot, thank you Mr. Chu.
The sound was like thunder on the ground, waking everyone up, and everyone turned their heads one after another, facing the Half Moon Pavilion, bent down and bowed, and shouted: Thank you, Mr. Chu.
At first, the sound was sparse, and after a while, the chaotic sound converged into a sound wave that resounded through the sky, echoing in the streets and alleys of Wucheng, and the crowd bent down and bowed like waves, which was extremely spectacular.
Chu Xiang laughed, he was finally sure that what he did was right, and the scene in front of him was the best proof. Although the world is chaotic, people still have a sense of gratitude, and it is not true that they have lost their humanity.
Chu bowed in all directions and returned the salute, and the crowd bowed and bowed again before slowly dispersed. After the crowd almost dispersed, some masters who still hadn't left said goodbye to Chu Xiang, while Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng had already approached, afraid that someone would take the opportunity to plot against Chu Xiang.
"I look like some big guy." After the crowd all dispersed, Chu Xiang said with a smile.
"You're not a big man yet, Mr. Chu, there are few people in the country who don't know your name." Gongsun Qidao, kept observing the surroundings.
Shi Wuzheng urged: "Let's leave first." ”
Chu Xiang knew that the situation was not optimistic, and there were many conservative masters around, so he didn't know what they would think, so he immediately left the Half Moon Pavilion with Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng.
The three of them left the Half Moon Pavilion, and Gongsun Qi took the lead, not daring to take the main road, and picking a secluded and uninhabited path to walk. In the dead of night, the three of them walked quickly in the alley, until they returned to the gate of the South China Courtyard, and they did not find any suspicious people, but it was somewhat unexpected.
The monk at the door dutifully guarded the door, and when he saw that it was Chu Xiang and the three of them, he bowed slightly. There are countless places in Wucheng, the safest place for Chu Xiang is the Nanhua Courtyard, Chu Xiang understands, Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi understand.
Nanhua Courtyard rarely fights with people, I don't see how strong the power is, a community of less than 10,000 square meters, there are only thirty warrior monks in the courtyard, and the total number of people is less than a hundred, but few people dare to come to make trouble, even the powerful mountain guest alliance will be deflated, who dares to cross the thunder pool.
The three of them entered the Nanhua Courtyard, Chu Xiang had just crossed the threshold in one step, and he was suddenly frightened, his brain was like a thunderbolt, his vest was cold, and he subconsciously pulled out the knife in a gear, a sharp sound of gold and iron sounded, his arm shook violently, and the long knife slapped upside down on the back of his head, and the whole person was repulsed.
"Sniper, be careful." Chu Xiang shouted, his body moved instantly, and he hid in the blind spot of the sniper's vision.
When Chu Xiang blocked, Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi had already felt abnormal, flew out, and quickly sneaked towards the sniper's position, and the Zhike monk at the door also followed the two and chased away.
Chu Xiang's shouting and the sharp sound of gold and iron intersecting alarmed the people in the courtyard, the lights turned on, the entire courtyard was as bright as day, and several agile warrior monks flew out.
"Go and search for the enemy with a wish and affection, and the others will be vigilant in all directions and not act rashly." Because of the low voice, several warrior monks who were about to fly out stopped, only two of them rushed towards the direction Chu Xiang pointed.
Watching the figures of the two warrior monks disappear into the night, Chu Xiang's heart burned with anger. The other party's calculation was very deep and terrifying, and he didn't make a move in the Half Moon Pavilion, knowing that he was condensed at that time, and it was not good to plot, but he chose him to return to the Nanhua Courtyard, just when he walked into the door, and shot when his mind was relaxed, if it weren't for his strong intuition about danger, this shot was likely to kill him.
The more Chu Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that the enemy was terrible, the last time he was shooting face-to-face, this time he was directly sniping from a distance, and he didn't show up at all, and if he couldn't catch the sniper, he didn't know who the opponent was. Thinking of the conspiracy last time, Chu Xiang was suddenly startled, his body moved, his shape changed, and he swept out of the courtyard from the sniper's dead end.
Last time, the secret calculation was made by someone from Taijimen, and if someone from Taijimen shot this time, it was likely that he would be more than alone. In the battle of the valley zombies, Chen Ying should know that Shi Wuzheng's hand is the Longquan Sword, if he really knows, this time he will probably calculate Shi Wuzheng.
When discussing the Dao conference just now, there were as many as eleven Dan Jin masters in the field, except for Chu Xiang and the three, only Sun Ying and another Dan Jin master spoke out, and the other six people were obviously conservatives, if these six people were waiting for Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi at the sniper at this time, the consequences would not be imaginable.
Flying towards Shi Wuzheng and the others, Chu Xiang did not hide his tracks, deliberately exposed himself in a conspicuous place, and shouted at the same time: "Come back." ”
The sniper's firing point was thousands of kilometers away, Chu Xiang was anxious in his heart, and flew with all his might, like meteor lightning, and his figure flashed away in the night.
"What's wrong?" After chasing five or six hundred meters, Shi Wuzheng's voice came from the front.
"It could be a trap, go back first." Chu Xiangdao. Shi Wuzheng, Gongsun Qi and Zhike Monk were all there, and they were willing to hear Chu Xiang's shout and return to converge.
"Not bad." Gongsun Qi suddenly exclaimed, his expression was very solemn.
Several people avoided the residents who were awakened by Chu Xiang's shouting, and carefully turned back to the Nanhua Courtyard, and the sniper did not strike again.
Master Liyin stood at the door, saw a few people coming back, ordered everyone to retreat, the lights in the courtyard went out, and sank into the darkness, and the monk stood back at the door.
After thanking the monk and returning to the lobby of the annex, Chu Xiang made a wish to the two masters: "Thank you for your help." ”
"The donor is gracious." It's all about love.
He bowed slightly.
"Go back and rest first." Cause said to the two.
"Master, this matter should not cause you trouble, you should also go back and rest." Chu Xiang said to the great monk Yin.
Cause nodded and said, "Okay." If there is anything you need to inform the monk at any time, the ground branch room is empty, and you can live in whichever room you want. ”
The three of them entered the Chenzi room with the door in the shadows, sat down cross-legged, and Shi Wuzheng asked, "Why is it a trap?" ”
"First, you are all speaking at the Seminar. Second, it was the first time I was conspired to be a person from the Taiji Sect, and Chen Ying knew the three of us, and it is very likely that he knew that you were the Dragon Spring; Third, there are too many Danjin masters at the conference; Fourth, they dared to kill people at the gate of the South China Courtyard. ”
"Fifth, if you want to get rid of someone, it's best to kill his helpers first." Gongsun Qi added.
Shi Wuzheng fell into deep thought, and after a moment, said, "These reasons are enough. But have you ever thought that this is not necessarily the hand of the Tai Chi sect. ”
"You mean to kill people with a knife?" Chu Xiangdao.
"Not bad." Shi Wuzheng nodded.
"I don't rule it out." Gongsun Qi frowned.
"In any case, there is a high probability that it is a conservative force." Chu Xiangdao.
"I think so, too. Recently, the situation in Wucheng has been very complicated, so let's be careful and don't be calculated. Gongsun Qidao.
After discussing for a while, the three of them meditated and rested. The two-day conference on the Tao has been concentrating, which is not a small loss for the three of them.
The situation in Wucheng was chaotic, Shi Wuzheng didn't want his disciples to get involved in the turmoil, early the next morning, Shi Wuzheng was ready to take the disciples in the door back to Guicheng, Gongsun Qi was also ready to set off to Siberia to search for temperature data, Chu Xiang called Leng Ruyue to set a position at the action station, called Duan Meng, and said goodbye to a few people.
When he saw Duan Meng, Chu Xiang frowned. A tall woman who was a little more beautiful than Leng Ruyue followed behind Duan Lao, with a short knife hidden at her waist, her expression was cold, and there was a sinister aura between her eyebrows, looking at Chu Xiang vigilantly.
Just when Gongsun Qi came over, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Sissi, come here." ”
The cold woman walked next to Gongsun Qi, and Gongsun Qi said to her: "This is your big brother Chu, Chu Xiang." ”
The cold woman nodded to Chu Xiang and did not speak.
"Her name is Li Ruqian." Gongsun Qi said to Chu Xiang.
"Yes, a lot of potential." Chu Xiang nodded.
Being praised by Chu Xiang, Gongsun Qi was a little proud, and said, "Do you dare to compare?" ”
"Satsuki and her? How to compare? Chu Xiang smiled and said.
"Next time we meet, let's see which of the two of them is stronger." Gongsun Qidao.
"Okay." Chu Xiangdao.
"What's the meaning of light than light, just make a bet." Shi Wuzheng's voice sounded, and he came with six disciples from the sect.
"Yes. What should I bet on? Chu Xiang said.
"I have an idea." Shi Wuzheng said.
Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi both looked at Shi Wuzheng.
"If any of you loses, go to the paddy fields at the east gate and catch a hundred earthworms." Shi Wuzheng said solemnly.
The faces of the two changed greatly, and Duan Meng smiled and said, "Okay, this is a good idea." ”
"Okay, Lao Shi, you guy, your feelings are bad." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"Lao Chu dares to bet, Gongsun, you won't dare, right?" Shi Wuzheng said defiantly.
"Whoever is afraid of whom, the gamble will be blocked." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"If you don't hear it, you must not lose, if you lose, you will catch two hundred." Chu Xiang turned his head and said to Leng Ruyue seriously.
"Lao Chu, don't want to change the concept, even if Xiaoyue wants to catch two hundred, then you still have to catch one hundred by yourself, don't think about cheating." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"What are you nervous about, I'm afraid you have to catch it yourself." Chu Xiang squinted at Gongsun Qidao.
"Lao Shi, we are all open, why don't you find a representative to enter the game?" Chu Xiang turned his head and said to Shi Wuzheng with a provocative voice.
"That's it, Lao Shi, do you have the courage to enter the game?" Gongsun Qiwei said with a smile.
Shi Wuzheng smiled and said, "I can't do it if they let men bully women." ”
"Can't do it or don't dare?" Gongsun Qi sneered.
"If you win, it's ugly to lose, do you think I'll be so stupid?" Shi Wuzheng was still smiling.
"If you don't dare, you can say you don't dare, and say so many reasons." Gongsun Qi scoffed.
"It's up to you what you say." Shi Wuzheng's expression was calm and unprovoked.
"I think Lao Shi is afraid that he will be seen digging earthworms in the paddy fields." Chu Xiang said suddenly.
"Haha, yes, it must be like this, being seen digging earthworms in the paddy fields, haha, that's really interesting." Gongsun Qi couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Duan Meng looked at Shi Wuzheng, his face was strange, probably imagining Shi Wuzheng's appearance of digging earthworms, after a while, he couldn't help but smile, Leng Ruyue next to him covered his mouth, his expression was weird, obviously he couldn't bear to laugh.
Shi Wuzheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard the words of Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi, but Ma Cong, the disciple behind him, couldn't stand the agitation and shouted, "Master, I gambled with them." ”
"That's right, that's right, a manly man, I'm afraid of two women, and I won't be laughed to death if I say it." Gongsun Qizheng was worried that Shi Wuzheng would not take the bait, and Ma Cong jumped out this time, right in the middle.
Shi Wuzheng smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect the apprentice to be unable to withstand the agitation, so he took the initiative to come out to fight, touched the apprentice's head and said, "You fell for these two old foxes." ”
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely not lose." Ma Cong said solemnly.
"Okay, that's up to you." Shi Wuzheng said with a slight smile, and did not blame Ma Cong.
"Lao Chu, Lao Shi has entered the game, three people, how to set the bet?" Gongsun Qi's expression was very proud.
"Wheel battle, two points for winning a game, one point for each tie, no points for losing, no earthworms for the highest points, 50 for the second place, 100 for the bottom, and double for the apprentices." Chu Xiangdao.
"Okay, that's it." Gongsun Qi clapped his hands and shouted.
Shi Wuzheng smiled bitterly and nodded.
Set a war contract, a group of people went to the action station, the strange combination, plus the most popular people recently, the return rate of a group of people reached almost 100%, fortunately, the action station is not far away, and it will arrive soon, otherwise a group of people may be surrounded and watched.
When entering the restaurant, almost everyone in the restaurant turned their heads to look at Chu Xiang and his party, with various complex feelings such as curiosity, reverence, envy, and jealousy.
Twelve people sat down, and the dishes ordered at the time of positioning were already ready, and the waiters came in one after another to serve the dishes. Seeing that Chu Xiang, Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng didn't move their chopsticks, Leng Ruyue, Li Ruqian and Ma Cong had no choice but to sit upright.
"Eat, eat." The main seat Duan Meng looked at the young face next to him, smiled, and took a pair of chopsticks, and Chu Xiang and the others began to eat. Duan Meng was very happy, a lonely and depressed old man, accompanied by so many people who respected and loved him, lively, which he couldn't think of before, he thought that he would die quietly in some unknown corner in loneliness and helplessness in this life.
The people at the surrounding tables looked at Chu Xiang and a group of people, exchanged heads and talked about each other. I didn't expect the three masters who were in the limelight to be so unpretentious, so easy-going, and so respectful of an old man who had no power to restrain the chicken, so that Duan Meng sat in the main seat, instead of Chu Xiang or Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi, Shi Wuzheng and Chu Xiang sat in the last seat opposite Duan Meng, and Leng Ruyue and Gongsun Qi sat on both sides.
Seeing that several Wudang disciples were a little restrained, Chu Xiang said: "Lao Shi, you Wudang people are good at everything, good-looking, handsome in kung fu, and they all eat so well, there is only one thing that is not good, so that you are easy to suffer." ”
"Which one?" Gongsun Qi asked curiously.
"It's too slow to eat." Chu Xiangdao.
