Chapter Twenty-Four: Is Xiao Zhinan a Vixen?
Hidden in front of the small temple in the deepest part of Changshu Village, Li Mengzhou swung his sword and cut grass, looking around, the empty temple, the condensed heaven and earth aura had not yet dispersed.
"It seems that it should be just a clown jumping off the beam, and he actually ran away like this. β
Xiao Zhinan looked bored and turned around to leave.
Li Mengzhou said at this time: "Don't you think it's a little strange, how can there be such a palace in Changshu Village? Although it is a little simple, compared to the houses in Changshu Village, it seems very abrupt. β
Xiao Zhinan stopped and turned around and said, "Do you suspect that it is from outside the mountain again?"
Li Mengzhou said: "Where are there so many people from outside the mountains, and they happen to be met by us, I just have some doubts." β
"Although the location of Changshu Village is very remote, it is also a little famous in Jiangguo, because the village is very old, and there will always be some curious people who want to find a place like Changshu Village. β
"But so far, I haven't heard anything from Changshu Village, it's just a village that has been around for a long time, and it's not a great person, and there are no treasures. β
"The aura of heaven and earth here is indeed a little stronger than that of a large town with a lot of people, even if there are cultivators who choose to be here, it is not a strange thing, but it is very strange that there is a temple here. β
Xiao Zhinan said: "There are too many things you care about, you have never been to Changshu Village, there is a temple here, what is so strange." β
Li Mengzhou shook his head and said: "Maybe it's really that I'm thinking too much, Changshu Village has existed for so long, maybe this temple is a certain god they imagined to worship." β
They didn't mean to go in and find out, because even if they stood outside, they could have an unobstructed view of the temple, and there was no one inside, and although there were traces of human life, there was nothing worth studying.
Moreover, the cultivator was also a small person who was not worth mentioning in their eyes, so they didn't linger much and went back the way he came.
The night in Changshu Village is really quiet, just the atmosphere here is very pleasant, but in the summer season, the feeling of dryness and heat hits the body, and it is not beautiful after all.
......
......
Cangcheng.
In an inn.
Jiang Zihua looked at He Zhengrong with an expressionless face in shock, his lips trembled, and he said in a tone of disbelief: "You killed Fang Changsheng again?!"
Even Shen Jiyue looked at He Zhengrong very incomprehensibly.
After all, this is the boundary of Cangnan Mountain, He Zhengrong once killed Ni Zhenchun in the capital, but now she actually killed other people's disciples under the noses of others, she really didn't know what to say.
Ouyang Shengxue remained silent.
He had just come down from Cangnan Mountain when he heard about it, and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Cangnan Mountain kept silent about Ni Zhenchun's death for various reasons, although it was a personal grudge between He Zhengrong and Ni Zhenchun, but after all, it involved the two major cultivation mountain gates of the Ligong Sword Academy and Cangnan Mountain, and now he killed Fang Changsheng in Cangcheng, which was purely slapping Cangnan Mountain's face, which was obviously forcing Cangnan Mountain to turn his face.
Ye Jinyu said to He Zhengrong with interest: "Senior Brother He is a master of art and bold, killing Ni Zhenchun was originally a personal grudge, and it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, but directly killing Fang Changsheng in Cangcheng, and no matter what the reason, it is a provocation to Cangnan Mountain, and this courage alone is very admirable." β
He wasn't sarcastic, but he really felt that He Zhengrong was too bold, but he appreciated it very much, because doing business also requires boldness, and if you cower, you won't be able to earn any money.
In his opinion, He Zhengrong didn't do anything wrong, but he can't say that he did it right, after all, he was a disciple of the murder family in front of the gate of Cangnan Mountain, if he was still safe, he was afraid that he couldn't say anything, which also meant that they didn't want to leave Cangcheng today.
Ye Jinyu doesn't care much about things, except for his father and sister, as well as family accidents, he really has an indifferent attitude towards everything.
Of course, Jiang Zihua is very afraid of trouble, drinking wine, eating meat, and being happy is not good, why do you have to fight and kill?
He said with sorrow: "Now that the fact that Fang Changsheng was killed is in front of us, Cangnan Mountain will definitely not give up, their mountain master is a great cultivator of the Five Realms, if we are really angry, we are afraid that we will all be unlucky." β
Although he trusts the senior brother very much and respects him all the time, and even once said that even in the face of Conan Mountain, the senior brother has the power to fight, but he also knows in his heart that having the power of a battle and being able to be evenly matched, or even win, are completely different things.
He Zhengrong's expression did not change at all, and he also knew what it meant to kill Fang Changsheng, but Fang Changsheng wanted to kill him at that time, he just fought back, and he did not regret doing so.
Just as he was about to say something, Ouyang Shengxue seemed to be able to guess what he was going to say, and even spoke first: "I saw Lord Keshan today, and I think he is still very talkative, although it was Senior Brother He who killed people in the front, I can't say that there is no fault or not, but as long as I explain it clearly, the result should not be too bad." β
Ye Jinyu looked at the senior brother silently, he felt that the senior brother's idea was a little naΓ―ve, and no matter what the reason was, Fang Changsheng's death was already a fact, Cangnanshan had no reason not to say a word, this situation was still different from when He Zhengrong killed Ni Zhenchun in the capital, Cangnanshan could endure it for a while, it didn't mean that he could be bullied.
If the dignified Five Realms Sect was killed by the same person one after another, but he didn't dare to say a word, it would be too temperless, and it would also be ridiculed by the world, and it would also be a shame for Cangnan Mountain's dignity to be swept away.
Ouyang Shengxue's character is indeed not tough enough, but it can't be said to be naΓ―ve and weak, after all, when it is time to take out the sword, he will not hesitate for a moment, but in his opinion, He Zhengrong's killing of Fang Changsheng is not reasonable, he can't ignore his junior brother, but he can't be the enemy of Cangnan Mountain because of this, he can't do that kind of thing.
Ouyang Shengxue is indeed very contradictory, sometimes he is very decisive in sword cultivation, but sometimes he is very indecisive, just like his face and temperament, like a pedantic scholar.
But he is actually acting according to his own intentions, what he thinks he should do, he must be able to do, just as he once killed all the mountain bandits in Liang County and stood up to save Yue Shiting's wife and children, and in the case that he already thinks that He Zhengrong is unreasonable, of course he can't completely tear his face and stand on the opposite side of Cangnan Mountain.
Because in his consciousness, that's not the right thing.
Maintaining He Zhengrong is already the limit of what he can do.
Ye Jinyu pondered for a moment and said: "The so-called repeated two and no longer three, Cangnan Mountain may be afraid of leaving the palace sword courtyard, but Ni Zhenchun's death is in the capital after all, they can be regarded as unaware, but Fang Changsheng died outside Cangcheng, even if Cangnan Mountain wants to pretend not to know, there is no way, this is a very shameful thing." "And after Cangnan Mountain was promoted to the Five Realms Sect, he didn't do anything big, if he was slapped in the face in the face, but he didn't react at all, what is the majesty of the Five Realms Sect? β
Jiang Zihua hesitated and said, "Why don't we leave Cangcheng quietly?"
Ye Jinyu said calmly: "When will the disciples of the Palace Sword Academy do such a shameless thing as escaping?"
Jiang Zihua said in shame: "Then what do you say we should do? We are on the boundary of Cangnan Mountain, and we rely on a few of us to be the enemy of the entire Cangnan Mountain?"
Ouyang Shengxue also had a headache, and said: "I don't know if Cangnan Mountain has found out about Fang Changsheng's killing, if Cangnan Mountain insists on asking for an explanation, I'm afraid it will really only be able to fight." β
He knew very well that it was impossible to make He Zhengrong apologize, and his principles did not allow him to bully others, so in the end, there was really only fighting left.
He felt that he should take this responsibility, and the meaning of the battle was not to oppose each other, but to give Cangnan Mountain an explanation.
Just as they were guessing Cangnan Mountain's reaction, a person walked into the inn.
Led by the shopkeeper, there was a knock on the door of the room where Ouyang Shengxue was located.
The door opened, and standing outside was Tao Ye.
Her eyes swept over the people in the room, and she didn't seem to be able to find the person she wanted to see, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed in her eyes, she said with a straight face: "Senior Brother Fang's body was found outside Cangcheng, judging from the wounds, it should be the sword cultivator's doing, and in Cangcheng, except for you, there is no other sword cultivator, and the mountain lord wants to see you." β
Here it comes!
The moment they saw Tao Ye, Jiang Zi painted them and knew that Cangnan Mountain's trouble was still coming after all.
If you want to go up Cangnan Mountain, it is really a sheep into the mouth of a tiger.
They all set their eyes on Ouyang Shengxue.
As long as the elder brother makes a decision, they can be ready to fight to the death.
No matter what happened before, they would not really be afraid, and now it seems that they can only draw their swords.
And that's what they do best.
But before Ouyang Shengxue could speak, Tao Ye continued, "Why isn't Senior Brother Li with you?"
He Zhengrong knew what was going on best, Jiang Zihua and they were still a little confused, and they didn't even understand who Senior Brother Li was in Tao Ye's mouth for a while.
He and Xiao Zhinan took another road, and they shouldn't have passed through Cangcheng. β
Tao Ye looked at He Zhengrong, frowned, and said, "That Xiao Zhinan from the Northern Yan Sword Mansion?"
He Zhengrong nodded.
Tao Ye immediately said angrily: "Fox spirit!"
Ouyang Shengxue frowned and said, "You have a grudge against Miss Xiao, why do you say this about her?"
Tao Ye said angrily: "Senior Brother Li is mine! Then she is a fox spirit! This is a great grudge!"
Ouyang Shengxue looked at Jiang Zi with some surprise and painted them, "Is Senior Brother Li in her mouth a little junior brother?"
Jiang Zihua and Ye Jinyu looked at each other.
He Zhengrong snorted coldly and said, "That guy Li Mengzhou has captured the heart of Miss Tao Ye, although this matter is very inexplicable. β
