In a certain cave in the back mountain of Qianxi Guan.

"And when are you officially going to walk out of the cave?"

Ye Kui asked Jiang Zhijin.

"It's okay to wait until we're done, but I have to go to the master first, after all, after I returned to Qianxi Temple, I told the master about my bet with Yuan Zhiji, but the master didn't get angry, just waved me out of his cave."

Jiang Zhijin immediately talked about what happened at that time.

"Speaking of which, at the beginning, I heard that your master, the Lord of the Ten Springs and the master of the Yuan Zhiji, the Master Wenmen, did not come forward after knowing that the two of you were outrageously betting, nor did they make any statements to the outside world, so they were indeed acquiescing in the bet between you and the Yuan Zhiji."

Ye Kui remembered what he had learned from other places before, so he said it directly.

"Ye Kui, in fact, I was also surprised at the time why the master didn't reprimand me and cancel my bet with Yuan Zhiji."

"Zhi Jin, could it be that your master plans to let you experience the feeling of calamity coming out of your mouth? Or does the Lord of the Ten Springs have other plans?"

"Then it's better to ask my master directly, or ask Senior Brother Yuwen, no matter what, with Senior Brother Yuwen's methods, you will definitely know some inside information."

Jiang Zhijin immediately mentioned Yuwen Yanhu.

"Zhi Jin, your Yuwen junior brother's prophecy method is also useful to the Ten Springs Viewer?"

Ye Kui asked curiously.

"That's natural, but because Senior Brother Yuwen's realm is far from the master's realm, Senior Brother Yuwen's ability can only play a role of one or two percent."

"Speaking of this, Zhi Jin, I want to know if your ability as Senior Brother Yuwen is similar to the Buddha's words of Buddhism?"

"Buddha's words? Ye Kui, why are you suddenly interested in the words of the Buddha? However, I also have a certain understanding of the Buddha's words, which can affect the Tianque Continent, while the prophecies of Senior Brother Yuwen are mostly only for individuals or a small group of people.

In general, the Buddha's words are more powerful, and Senior Brother Yuwen's prophetic ability is sometimes stronger than deduction and divination, and sometimes it is similar to deduction and divination."

Jiang Zhijin thought for a while before expressing his opinion.

"In this way, it seems that the Buddha's words are indeed more powerful, but I think your Yuwen junior brother's prophetic ability is more convenient, and the effect is faster."

"That's right, I remember that in the past, when Senior Brother Yuwen and the other brothers in the Guanli were seriously fighting, they just closed their eyes to dodge or block all the attacks, and also defeated the other brothers in the Guanli.

It was also at that time that my master and I were convinced that Senior Brother Yuwen's control over his prophecy ability had increased again, but after that, Senior Brother Yuwen also began to keep a low profile and no longer be in the limelight.

I don't know if it was the master who talked to Senior Brother Yuwen or said that Senior Brother Yuwen decided to hide it himself, and it was inconvenient for me to ask Senior Brother Yuwen directly afterwards."

When Jiang Zhijin said this, he was also worried that Yuwen Yanhu would use this ability to deal with Ling Renting, even if Jiang Zhijin persuaded Yuwen Yanhu, it was useless, after all, it was his master Shiquan Guan Master who personally ordered Yuwen Yanhu to do so.

If Yuwen Yan doesn't do this, then his master will definitely send other brothers or uncles in the temple to do these things.

"Zhi Jin, can I go and see Hu Ming later?"

"Ye Kui, if you want to know anything else related to the Qianxi Concept, then you can ask me directly, and you don't need to look for Hu Ming in one more move."

"Zhi Jin, you are misleading here, I want to find Hu Ming just to prove a small conjecture, I seem to have discovered a secret of Hu Ming, but the evidence is insufficient."

The conjecture that Ye Kui said was that Ye Kui thought that the Taoist priest named Hu Ming might be related to Ling Renting.

After all, three things happened during Hu Ming's sudden desire to talk to Jiang Zhijin and now when he gave up talking.

The first thing was that Jiang Zhijin's junior brother suddenly received an order from the Lord of the Qianxi Guanguan to go and capture Ling Renting.

The second thing was that when Yuwen Yan escorted down the mountain to carry out the mission, he went to Fan Xiang Valley, and also directly asked the tree demon Mu Xun about Ling Renting's elimination

Cease.

In addition, Yuwen Yan's slightly reckless move to find Ling Renting may have been to lure Ling Renting into the current position, and then Mu Xun's knowledge of Ling Renting's hiding place was most likely leaked by Ling Renting.

Ling Renting's purpose may be to investigate other secrets of Qianxi Temple, but this guy in charge of investigating the secrets of Qianxi Temple is definitely not Ling Renting returning to Qianxi Temple to investigate, but needs another guy who stays in Qianxi Temple to investigate.

So Ye Kui locked this guy into the Taoist priest named Hu Ming.

After that, Jiang Zhijin and Ye Kui left the cave together, but when Jiang Zhijin walked out of the cave, he rushed towards the area where the Lord of the Ten Springs Temple might stay, and Ye Kui was preparing to go to the ordinary residence of the Taoist priest named Hu Ming and the cave mansion used to cultivate according to Jiang Zhijin's instructions.

"Chief Nonsense, Chief Nonsense."

When Ye Kui came to the outside of the ordinary house where Hu Ming lived, Ye Kui first called a few times outside the door, and then Ye Kui heard the response, so Ye Kui was ready to sense whether there were people living in the house.

"How did Ye Daoyou find me here?"

At this time, the wooden door of the house was opened by Hu Ming from the inside, and then Mu Xun asked Ye Kui.

"It was Zhi Jin who told me, by the way, Daoist Hu, when I went to find Zhi Jin just now, Zhi Jin had just finished his cultivation, and then I chatted with Zhi Jin for a while, and then Zhi Jin said that he was going to see the Ten Springs Meditation Master, so I also felt that the conversation was almost over.

So I was going to thank Daoist Hu for bringing you to the Qianxi Guanhou Mountain area before and this time, so I asked Zhi Jin about Daoist Hu's residence."

Ye Kui replied casually.

"It turns out that Ye Daoyou is here for this, but it's just a trivial matter, why worry about it, since Ye Daoyou came here, then why don't you come to the house and sit down?"

After Hu Ming heard Ye Kui say this on the other side, he immediately became polite, and also gave Ye Kui a way to enter the house.

"Then I'll bother Hu Daoyou."

And Ye Kui walked directly into Hu Ming's house.

"Uh... Ye Daoyou sit there, I'll go make some tea."

Hu Ming didn't expect that the Yuwen Yanhu before would be polite, how could the casual cultivator named Ye Kui in front of him walk in so casually? Hu Ming regretted that he habitually invited people into the house, after all, few Taoist priests were willing to enter Hu Ming's house before, so the other party would politely refuse Hu Ming's invitation.

"Ye Daoyou, please drink tea."

After Hu Ming poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Kui and himself, Hu Ming sat down.

"Thank you, Nonsense."

Ye Kui raised the teacup after saying that, and then drank half of the tea in the teacup at a moderate temperature.

Hu Ming didn't deceive Yuwen Yanhu, who came to the house to drink tea, and at that time, the cup of tea that Yuwen Yanhu drank was indeed the only tea leaves left to brew tea, otherwise Ye Kui would also be puzzled.

Why is the tea I drink here so similar to the tea I drink in Muxun?

"Daoist Hu, it's only a few days before the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, will you also follow the other Dao Masters in the Qianxi Temple to the Xuanyu Plain to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference?"

"Ye Daoyou, I won't be ashamed of my strength, and I don't like to join in the fun."

"Daoist Hu, are you sure you won't go? I heard that there will be four demon cultivation teams to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference this time, this is completely different from the previous Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, I think it would be good if I have the opportunity to go and see it."

Ye Kui felt that Hu Ming also knew the difference between this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference and the previous Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, but Ye Kui still deliberately mentioned this matter in front of Hu Ming, Ye Kui wanted to see what Hu Ming would think.

"Ye Daoyou, I've heard about this too, but it still can't arouse my interest, I still prefer to stay in the Qianxi Temple and cultivate."

"Daoist Hu, what do you think of this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference? I think there may be a lot of chaos in this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, after all, this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference

Not only will the four demon cultivation teams be allowed to participate, but some of the demon cultivators will also be allowed to go to the place of the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference to watch the battle."

"Ye Daoyou, in fact, your worries are superfluous, there are many powerhouses of large immortal sects at the scene of the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, if those demon cultivators dare to mess around, then there is no need to say much about the fate of those demon cultivators, but one is dead."

Hu Ming shook his head and replied to Ye Kui.

"That's what Dao Chang Hu said, then let's not talk about the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, I heard Zhi Jin say that there is a Dao Master named Yuwen Yanhu who went down the mountain to find a guy named Ling Renting, just now Zhi Jin told me that this matter was very troublesome, but he didn't tell me too much of the truth.

Do you know something more specific about this? Or do you think you can't easily tell outsiders about this?"

At this time, Ye Kui finally mentioned in front of Hu Ming that Yuwen Yanhu went to find Ling Renting.

"Senior Brother Jiang also told you about this? How can you say this at will, it seems that Senior Brother Jiang still believes in Ye Daoyou, Ye Daoyou, I advise you not to spread this matter around."

"Why is that? At that time, Zhi Jin didn't remind me to let me rot this in my stomach."

Ye Kui pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Ye Daoyou, I shouldn't have explained this to you, but since Jiang Zhijin chose to believe you, then I also believe Senior Brother Jiang once."

When Hu Ming said this, there were also some doubts in his eyes.

"The Ling Renting that Senior Brother Yuwen went to arrest was originally also a Taoist priest of our Qianxi Temple, and later that Ling Renting did something that violated the precepts of the Qianxi Temple, and finally Ling Renting was expelled from the Qianxi Temple by the Lord of the Ten Springs of our Qianxi Temple.

Later, the Lord of the Ten Springs Temple learned that after Ling Renting left the Qianxi Temple, he actually joined the evil cultivation forces and began to do evil everywhere, so the Lord of the Ten Springs Temple would send the Taoist priests of the Qianxi Temple one after another to arrest Ling Renting.

But I haven't been able to capture Ling Renting back to Qianxi Temple several times in a row, and besides, I don't know why the Ten Springs Sect Master would let Senior Brother Yuwen go back to Ling Renting, maybe the Ten Springs Sect Master has other backs."

Hu Ming was also a little tactful when he said the end, he didn't seem to believe that Yuwen Yanhu could catch Ling Renting and bring Ling Renting back to Qianxi Temple.

"It turns out that the whole thing is like this, thank you Daoist Hu for solving your doubts."

After Ye Kui thanked Hu Ming, he was thinking, counting what Hu Ming said, then there are several versions of Ling Renting's matter, but Ye Kui still believes in the version that Jiang Zhijin said.

"Ye Daoyou, this is just what I know personally, I don't guarantee that this is definitely the case, I think it's better for you to figure it out yourself."

"Daoist Hu, I will, but how do I feel Daoist Hu, you don't seem to be very disgusted with that Ling Renting?"

"I didn't say more than two words to Ling Renting in a month, so I didn't really care about what Ling Renting did, as long as he didn't appear in front of me.

Coupled with what I have learned, I think there may be other explanations for Ling Renting's matter, joining the evil cultivation forces to do evil everywhere? That's a bit too much."

Hu Ming only drank the first sip of tea he had just poured when he said this.

"Daoist Hu, let me ask a few more words, what kind of Taoist priest was Ling Renting at that time when Ling Renting had not left the Qianxi Temple?"

"Ling Renting at that time should have been a good... Daoist, to be more accurate, Ling Renting is a good Taoist priest who is smarter than Senior Brother Jiang."

"Is Ling Renting just smarter than Zhi Jin?"

Ye Kui felt that what Hu Ming said was not complete, and it was still a few points away.

"Could it be that Ye Daoyou, what do you think Ling Renting is better than Senior Brother Jiang?"

"Daoist Hu, if it is according to what Zhi Jin told me about Ling Renting before, I think Ling Renting is not only smarter than Jiang Zhijin, but also bolder than Jiang Zhijin."

"Bold? Also, after all, there is also news that Ling Renting took the initiative to betray the Pious Cult, and then joined the evil cultivation forces."

Hu Ming immediately expressed his affirmation.

"Daoist Hu, I remember what you said just now

Ling Renting was expelled by the Lord of the Ten Springs Sect from the Qianxi Concept, why did he change his words to Ling Renting's Qianxi Observatory on his own initiative?"

Ye Kui noticed the difference between what Hu Ming said just now and what he said now, so Ye Kui asked directly.

"Actually, I just remembered that there was such a statement in the view after Ye Daoyou said that Ling Renting was "bold", which means that Ling Renting was no longer a Taoist priest of the Qianxi Temple before he was expelled from the Qianxi Temple by the Lord of the Ten Springs.

However, at that time, I didn't really believe in this statement, after all, Ling Renting originally had a strong sense of belonging to the Qianxi Temple like Senior Brother Jiang and the other senior brothers in the Guanli, and they all regarded the Qianxi Temple as their own home, not just as an ordinary place of cultivation."

After Ye Kui asked, Hu Ming also added some things that he had learned and felt as a Taoist priest of the Qianxi Temple.

"Then Daoist Hu, what you said just now that Ling Renting started to do evil everywhere after joining the evil cultivation forces, is this also your hearsay or did you say that you witnessed it with your own eyes?"

"Naturally, I heard what the other senior brothers in the temple said, after all, I also said just now, my relationship with Ling Renting is not as good as Jiang Zhijin and Ling Renting, so I can only barely know each other.

As for why this is the case, it's not Ling Renting's problem, it's mainly because I don't really like to deal with other senior brothers."

"Daoist Hu, didn't you talk to me a lot?"

"Ye Daoyou, if you talk a lot, you don't necessarily become friends, did you just say a few words to me, and treat me Hu Ming as a good friend after a few days of getting along?"

Hu Ming immediately asked Ye Kui.

"What Daochang Hu said is reasonable, but I didn't think it through carefully, and I ask Daochang Hu to forgive me."

"Ye Daoyou, it's nothing, I just like to make things more clear when I have time."

"Daoist Hu, I also understand what you said just now."

Now Ye Kui finally knows why Hu Ming said that he doesn't like to socialize, he doesn't like to make friends, and he just likes to stay alone quietly to practice, and sometimes what Hu Ming says is really difficult to answer. :

"Ye Daoyou, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Hu Ming poured a second cup of hot tea for Ye Kui and himself.

"Daochang Hu, in your opinion, what is the relationship between Jiang Zhijin and Yuwen Yanhu?"

"Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Yuwen? I think the relationship between Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Yuwen is also quite good, or average, the main reason is that Senior Brother Jiang is more enthusiastic, and Senior Brother Yuwen looks like he is dealing with Jiang Zhijin, in the final analysis, it is Ling Renting and Senior Brother Jiang who have the best relationship."

Hu Ming thought for a while and then expressed his opinion.

"Daoist Hu, if Jiang Zhijin asks Yuwen Yanhu to let Ling Renting go, then will Yuwen Yanhu do this?"

"Ye Daoyou, you seem to be very concerned about the affairs of Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Yuwen, and Ling Renting, I didn't see you so serious when I talked about the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference just now."

"Daoist Hu, there is something wrong with what you said, if I don't ask this, why would I come here to disturb you, Daoist Hu, are you right?"

Ye Kui asked directly.

"Ye Daoyou, I suggest that it is better for you to ask Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Yuwen in person for this kind of thing, but my personal opinion may be a little unreliable."

"Daoist Hu can rest assured that I will consider it carefully, and I promise that I will not reveal these things to Zhi Jin and Yuwen Yanhu."

"Ye Daoyou, then it's better for you to practice more than you have the ability to keep your mouth shut, you should tell me the things that Senior Brother Jiang told you about Ling Renting, even if you have deliberately omitted some and didn't say it."

Hu Ming didn't seem to believe in Ye Kui's assurance.

"Daoist Hu, I also want you to say some different opinions, besides, I also guessed that you already knew about Ling Renting's affairs, so I don't think it's okay for me to mention Ling Renting's affairs in front of you."

"Ye Daoyou, it seems that the four words "keep your mouth shut like a bottle" are really not suitable for you, but the idiom "flamboyant tongue" is very suitable for you

。」

"Hahaha, I thought Daochang Hu wouldn't tease people, it seems that I saw the wrong person, don't worry, I, Ye Kui, can still be relied upon."

After Ye Kui heard Hu Ming on the other side say that about himself, Ye Kui couldn't help laughing.

"Ye Daoyou, this is not funny, I still hope you can be serious, it is better to stay in the Qianxi Temple for some things, although we have also explained Ling Renting's situation to the outside world, but those things that are omitted are more."

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he drank the cup of tea on the table in one go, and then raised the teapot again to pour it for himself.

"Daoist Hu, I'll have some more here."

But even if Ye Kui took the initiative to say this this time, Hu Ming on the other side deliberately pretended not to hear, so Ye Kui had to pick up the teacup and pour himself half a cup of tea.

"Ye Daoyou, if you see Senior Brother Jiang again in the future, then you'd better remind Senior Brother Jiang to be calm when he goes to the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, and don't do the same foolish thing again."

"Oh? Then Daoist Hu, don't you just say to Zhi Jin? I'm going to leave the Qianxi Temple after drinking this half cup of tea, and I don't know when I'll see Zhi Jin again next time, and by that time, the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Dharma Conference may have ended."

"Ye Daoyou, since this is the case, then forget it, this time the other senior brothers who went to the Xuanyu Plain to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference should be able to persuade Senior Brother Jiang."

Hu Ming heard that Ye Kui was reluctant to speak, so he had no choice but to say so.

"Daoist Hu, I'm just joking, don't worry, I will bring the words to Zhi Jin later, but I don't know if Zhi Jin will listen to me then."

"Senior Brother Jiang will, it's not that difficult to eat a trench and grow wise, unless Senior Brother Jiang wants to make another similar bet, although the Ten Springs Guan Master did not directly punish Senior Brother Jiang, but this is also a punishment, especially for Senior Brother Jiang.

Otherwise, Senior Brother Jiang would not have stayed in the cave mansion in the back mountain of Qianxi Guan for more than a month before leaving the cave mansion, and then went to the Ten Springs Guan Lord to confess his guilt."

When Hu Ming said this, he seemed to be recounting a commonplace thing.

"Daoist Hu, how do you know this? Is it your conjecture or have you been watching Zhi Jin from outside Zhi Jin's cave?"

Hearing what Hu Ming said on the other side, Ye Kui immediately asked.

"Ye Daoyou, I am a Taoist priest of the Qianxi Temple, but I am still called a senior brother by Senior Brother Jiang, and I am called a senior brother by Senior Brother Yuwen, many things I have seen are enough for me to roughly guess what Senior Brother Jiang will do this time, and maybe there is another reason, that is, Senior Brother Jiang is always so simple."

"Daoist Hu, if you don't say this, I almost forgot that you and Jiang Zhijin, Yuwen Yanhu, and Ling Renting were in the same batch or in the same group or in separate batches, I'm a little anxious."

Ye Kui thought about it for a while before he remembered that Hu Ming on the other side was not familiar with Jiang Zhijin, Yuwen Yanhu, and Ling Renting.

But this does not prevent Hu Ming from observing some things on weekdays, and then guessing some of Jiang Zhijin's actions after encountering certain things.

"Ye Daoyou, through those things I talked to you, I also know that you are mainly concerned about Senior Brother Jiang's affairs, as for Senior Brother Yuwen and Ling Renting, they are just incidental, Senior Brother Jiang has made a good friend."

"What Hu Daoyou said is a little too direct, when it comes to this, don't you even have a friend in the pious view of Daoist Hu?"

"I have a few friends, too."

"Dao Chang, are you a friend?"

"Friends in general."

"For a while, I couldn't tell if what Daoist Hu said was true or not."

"Ye Daoyou, this topic is a bit boring, you might as well stop here."

Before, it was just to change the topic, but this is the first time that Hu Ming and Ye Kui took the initiative to stop the topic when they were talking.

"Since Daoist Hu doesn't want to say it, forget it, I won't force it."

Ye Kui finished speaking, picked up the half cup of tea in front of the table and drank it all.
