Chapter 21 The so-called trust
Hu Yong and Baihualei mistakenly broke into the matter of knowing the world, and Xu Qi had his own plans in his heart.
In the name of the demon Venerable Jiuyang, he had just returned to Jiuyang Mountain, and someone mistakenly broke into Zhishi Mountain, and he had to go to solve the siege by himself.
As a Confucian master, Wang Mingshi does not look down on the demon clan, and it is difficult to cooperate with some demon clans. The person who planned this matter didn't seem to have the intention of killing himself through Wang Mingshi's hand, at least he didn't have a lot of hope for this.
Looking at it this way, it is very likely that Hu Yong and Baihualei mistakenly broke into Zhishi Mountain and was formed under the impetus of some well-intentioned people to test themselves.
The demon clan of his own family will be killed by the Confucian master on his own territory. What should I do with the Jiuyang Demon Venerable who has returned after five hundred years?
Let the demon clan be killed? If this matter spreads, Jiuyang Mountain, with the name of Jiuyang Demon Venerable, will fall rapidly; protect the people who have violated the rules set by Jiuyang Demon Venerable? After this matter spreads, the Jiuyang Demon Venerable who has gone back on his word will also be laughed at.
After figuring out the joints, Xu Qi also wanted to praise this person who played chess with him in the air, which was really clever.
However, although the methods of this behind-the-scenes person are clever, Xu Qi is not bad. This dilemma is blocked at both ends, and Xu Qi has a way to solve it.
Xu Qi went down to Shouyang Peak, and followed Chu Hong's sleeve to the Upper Yang Peak. When Chu Hongsleeve was the first in Jiuyang Mountain, this Guanyang Peak was her residence.
Compared with Shouyang Peak, there are many buildings on the Topping Yang Peak, carved beams and painted buildings, quite a bit of the world's rich taste.
Chu Hongsleeve invited Xu Qi to the seat in the main hall, summoned a demon clan to explain a few times, and then waved away the others.
After a while, Hu Yong and the wreath of flowers were brought.
"I've seen the first ......"
The two of them wanted to salute Chu Hongsleeve, but Chu Hongsleeve flashed his body, avoided it, stretched out his hand to Xu Qiyi, and said, "This is our Lord of Jiuyang Mountain, you two are not big or small, are you blind?"
The two froze, and then turned to salute Xu Qi: "I've seen ...... I've seen the Lord. ”
Demon Venerable Jiuyang was five hundred years ago, although it was famous, but that was also five hundred years ago. Although the demon clans in Jiuyang Mountain all grew up listening to the legend of the Demon Venerable Jiuyang, they all regarded the existence of the Demon Venerable Jiuyang as a story and a legend. Now that they have seen the living Demon Venerable Jiuyang, even if the two of them have seen Xu Qi before, they are a little unable to react now.
Xu Qi looked at the two of them, and after a long while, he said softly: "Hu Yong, a wreath?"
"Yes......"
Neither of them knew what kind of heart this legendary character was, and what they were going to do at the moment, and they were very weak when they coped.
"You two are so bold that you dare to violate the rules left by this seat, break into Zhishi Mountain, and alarm the final fall of the Confucian Venerable. ”
Xu Qi didn't speak loudly, nor did he have a stern tone, as if he was talking about an extremely bland thing. But the more he is like this, in the eyes of others, the more murderous this famous demon venerable becomes.
"Not only that, but the two of you also disturbed the cultivation of this seat, making it time-saving and laborious for this seat to go to the Zhishi Mountain to talk for the two of you......."
Xu Qi's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the sound was not loud, but it fell on the hearts of the two of them together with the words, like a heavy hammer: "I violated the rules of this seat, delayed the cultivation of this seat, and killed the two of you, it is really deserved." ”
The two of them suddenly turned pale, especially the wreath, and their faces were a little more flustered than Hu Yong. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but finally forced it down.
Hu Yong's face was also ugly, but in addition to being flustered, there was still a little bit of annoyance.
Xu Qi saw the performance of the two in his eyes, and he almost understood it in his heart. He tapped lightly on the table and said, "If it is according to the meaning of this seat, you two will die today." But ......"
After a slight pause, Xu Qi continued: "That day, Mr. Wang preached a lot of truths with this seat, which made this seat quite useful, and this seat worshiped under his door and became his closed disciple......
In the hall, except for Xu Qi, there were only three people, Hu Yongbaihua and Chu Hongsleeve. As soon as these words came out, the three of them were a little surprised.
Although five hundred years ago, Jiuyang Dazun seemed to have something to do with Confucianism in the world, so he sent Zhishishan to Confucianism in the world. But worship under a Confucian sect...... Even if this Confucian is a Confucian Venerable, in terms of status, the Jiuyang Demon Venerable is much more noble than the Confucian Venerable.
What's more, what he worships as a master is a mortal who is less than a hundred years old. If it is true that the seniority is discussed, the seniority of the Jiuyang Demon Venerable is much higher than that Wang Mingshi.
Although the demon clan has never paid attention to the etiquette of the world, the Jiuyang Demon Zun worships Wang Mingshi as a teacher, which is too ...... Don't pay too much attention to etiquette, right?
Hu Yong's hundred wreaths were only a little surprised on their faces, but Chu Hongsleeve's face was faintly pale.
"Before the fall of Shizun, he said that he didn't want to let the two of them lose their lives because of himself, and he wanted this seat to spare the lives of the two of you. This seat was unwilling to let this matter go so lightly, but the master has a life, and this seat is not easy to disobey. ”
"Yet. Xu Qi looked at Hu Yong and the wreath of flowers, and said: "You two, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, and you will not suffer any hardships, where is the law of this seat? Chu Hongsleeve blocked the power of these two people, whipped five hundred, and locked them in the prison cell for one month. Send someone to take care of it, or you will die. ”
Although the demon clan is strong, the torturer's ** is just as strong. After locking the strength in his body, these five hundred lashes are not easy to bear. If the torturer is a little heavier, the torturer will be left with a breath of air.
But compared to being killed directly, this is already a great favor.
"Yes. Chu Hongsleeve took the order, summoned the two demon clans, and took the two demons down.
When only Xu Qi and Chu Hongsleeve were left in the hall, Chu Hongsleeve knelt on the ground, and his soft body trembled slightly: "Please have mercy on the slave and maid, don't use the soul of the slave and maid to refine the magic weapon, the slave and the maid will die, and I will also thank the lord for his great grace in my heart." ”
"Oh?" Xu Qi looked at Chu Hongsleeve, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked knowingly, "Why is this Hongsleeve?"
Chu Hongsleeve kowtowed again and again, but did not speak.
What is going on between Xu Qi and Wang Mingshi, others don't know, but Chu Hongsleeve is all in his eyes. Although Xu Qi also claimed that Wang Mingshi was his master that day, he was the one who killed Wang Mingshi with his own hands.
Now that this "Demon Venerable" has let go of the two demons who mistakenly broke into Zhishi Mountain in the name of Wang Mingshi, who will he not let go?
I can't let go of myself who sees everything from beginning to end and knows the secret of the "Demon Venerable"!
After listening to the words of the "Demon Venerable" to these two demons, Chu Hongsleeve's heart was cold, and he said in his heart that his life was short, but he was afraid that the Demon Venerable would not be able to tolerate himself. Although the secret I know is not a big secret, it will be a big trouble if I poke it out in the future. In terms of the heart and temper of the demon venerable, he will definitely kill himself once and for all.
Xu Qi said this, just to make Chu Hongsleeve think so.
Seeing that Chu Hongsleeves didn't speak, Xu Qi sighed and said, "Red Sleeves, stand up, this seat can still trust you." You know something, but it doesn't hurt, and there's no need for me to kill you because of that kind of thing. If you really betray this seat in the future, even if you run to the ends of the earth, this seat can still kill you. ”
These words made Chu Hongsleeve feel like he was amnesty. She stood up, bowed to Xu Qi, and said, "It is fortunate that the slave and maid can be trusted by the lord, but the lord has a lot of opportunities, how dare the slave and the maid let the lord bother for the slave." ”
As he spoke, Chu Hongsleeve flipped over his palm and took out a piece of jade pendant. She frowned slightly and pressed the jade pendant to her forehead.
A burst of brilliance flashed on the jade pendant, and a fire crow flew and churned in the brilliance. The fire crow sucked in the air, sucked out a ray of light from the top of Chu Hong's sleeve, and swallowed it in his mouth.
The fire crow swallowed that brilliance and returned to the jade pendant.
Chu Hongsleeve's body trembled violently, his forehead was dripping with sweat, his face was pale, and he seemed to have lost this brilliance, which made Chu Hongsleeve quite uncomfortable.
There was no time to wipe off the fragrant sweat on his forehead, Chu Hongsleeve held the jade pendant in both hands, walked a few steps, and sent the jade pendant to Xu Qi.
His voice trembled slightly, and Chu Hongsleeve said: "This is the Demon Venerable's Jiuyang Group Demon Pendant, and inside it is a little true spirit of the various demon clans in Jiuyang Mountain. The slave and maid have put a little of their true spirit into it, even if the slave and maid reach the ends of the earth, whether they are alive or dead, it is all in the mind of the lord. ”
Xu Qi looked at Chu Hongsleeve, shook his head, and said, "You are loyal." ”
As he spoke, Xu Qi took the Jiuyang Group Demon Pendant in Chu Hong's hand.
Although this jade pendant is jade, it is very warm in your hand. The jade pendant is carved with a crow surrounded by flames, spreading its wings and rising into the sky.
Playing with this jade pendant, Xu Qi felt a little unexpected in his heart.
Regarding Chu Hongsleeve, Xu Qi could only say that he was not very suspicious of her, but he couldn't talk about trust. Recognizing Wang Mingshi as a master, Xu Qi has his own plans. With this matter, he completely mastered Chu Hong's sleeves, just hugging the grass and beating the rabbit, and piggybacking on it together.
Xu Qi said this matter today to probe Chu Hongsleeve's attitude. If Chu Hongsleeve's performance made Xu Qi not satisfied, or if he didn't show enough loyalty, Xu Qi would have to get rid of this unstable factor sooner or later.
It's just that he didn't expect that Chu Hongsleeve's method of showing loyalty was so thorough, not only handed over the actual control of Jiuyang Mountain, but also put his own life in the hands of Xu Qi.
Looking at Chu Hong's sleeves, who were pale and overconsumed, Xu Qi was really a little unhappy in his heart. But even if you don't want to, you still have to do it. Only in this way can Xu Qi trust Chu Hongsleeve and avoid the trouble of always being on guard against her, which is a good thing for both of them.
Xu Qi has always been a villain first, and a gentleman later. He doesn't want to be the kind of "gentleman" who has a heart-to-heart with people on the surface, but behind the scenes he has to watch out for everyone, which is really unpleasant. Although that kind of "trust" looks good, whether it is a "gentleman" or a "trusted", both parties are afraid that they are beating drums in their hearts.
Like Xu Qi, he used not very good means, and all that he could grasp was firmly grasped in his hands, although it seemed that the style was not atmospheric enough, but after this not enough atmospheric practice, it was real trust.
