Chapter 513: Calculation
The two of them returned to the place where they lived, and I lay on the bed and pondered, the more I pondered, the more I felt that this matter was wrong, and the more worried I was about Zhou Ping. Could it be that something happened in Maoshan, something happened to Zhou Ping.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Yuan Qingguang went over to open the door. It turned out that the owner came to bring us water.
I let the boss into the house and started a casual conversation with the boss. The boss is also very good at saying that he claims to have his surname Liang.
"Boss Liang, I heard before I came that the incense in Maoshan is very vigorous, and the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple are polite and humble. After our brother went today, how did I not feel like the legend?" I said deliberately.
When Boss Liang heard me say this, he immediately said, "The two of you are from outside, and you don't know about some things, something happened to this Maoshan faction recently, and it is said that the disciples in the sect have moved on both sides in order to compete for the position of the head of the sect."
"It's messed up above, and no one cares about it below, can it be okay?" Boss Liang sighed and said.
Hearing Boss Liang say this, a gossip look immediately appeared on my face, and I quickly asked, "Boss Liang, can you tell me what's going on?"
Boss Liang is also a talkative person, he directly pulled a chair and sat down, "You guys met me, otherwise ordinary people really don't know." I have a cousin who is in the Maoshan Taoist Temple, and he told me all these things, otherwise such an important matter would not be known to outsiders."
Listening to so much nonsense from Boss Liang, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious here, but even though I was in a hurry, I couldn't rush it, so I could only listen to him patiently.
"There were a total of five apprentices in the previous head of this Maoshan family, and among the five apprentices, he was the most proud of the eldest apprentice. He had always wanted to pass on the position of the head of the sect to this big apprentice. But later, his little apprentice took in an apprentice. Not to mention that his little apprentice's apprentice is extremely talented, and it is said that he has inadvertently got some chance."
Boss Liang paused here as he spoke, looked at us, and asked very mysteriously, "Do you know what chance is, let me tell you, chance is that he has the opportunity to become an immortal."
Hearing Boss Liang say this, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, if I can become an immortal by chance, then there are too many immortals in this world.
"Then isn't that disciple of his about to become an immortal?" I asked in agreement.
"Who said it wasn't, it's because the head of Maoshan has changed his mind and wants to pass on the position of head to his little apprentice. His little apprentice can only pass it on to his apprentice later."
"Because of this, his big apprentice was very unhappy, and then he didn't know how, and the upper echelons were in chaos."
When I heard this, I kind of understood. It's like the emperor canonized the crown prince early, and the prince has always been diligent, thinking that as soon as the old emperor dies, he will be able to inherit the throne. But suddenly halfway to kill a Cheng biting gold. The old emperor suddenly said that the throne was passed to his younger brother and that he would not be allowed to be the emperor. How could there be no gap in the prince's heart at this time, he naturally would not give up this position to others.
I don't care about these, I care about Zhou Ping's safety now, just now Boss Peng said that the apprentice of the little apprentice of the head of Maoshan got a chance, I guess it should be Zhou Ping. We have the soul juice in the Cloud Mountain. Isn't this a great opportunity?
"So what's going on on both sides now?" I asked again.
"It is said that the big apprentice has succeeded, I heard this, I don't know what it is, we are all ordinary people, those things have nothing to do with us, okay, I'm leaving." Boss Peng said and walked out of the room.
I'm gone, but I can't calm down. The senior brother has succeeded, what is happening to Zhou Ping now, whether he has left Maoshan or has been controlled, or is he dead.
At this moment, my heart went up and down, and I couldn't stop praying that Zhou Ping was still alive.
"Brother, don't worry, Brother Zhou is a blessed person, he won't die so easily." Yuan Qingguang saw that I was not looking good, and hurriedly comforted.
I pondered for a moment, whether Zhou Ping was in the Taoist temple or not, we should go over and investigate, if Zhou Ping had already left, it would be better, if Zhou Ping was controlled
and we rescued him. However, we have been followed today, and if we go to the Taoist temple tonight, it is very likely that we will be calculated by the other party.
I didn't know what to do at the moment, so I kept pacing back and forth on the ground.
"Uncle, someone asked me to give this to you." Boss Peng's son came in from outside, finished crisply, and handed me a letter in his hand.
I took the letter in his hand, and just opened it, a photo emerged from inside, and the person in the photo was Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping in the photo was tied up, and his body was full of injuries, and his appearance was simply miserable.
I couldn't help frowning, Yuan Qingguang also saw it on the side, and immediately said out, "Brother Zhou, how can he ......?"
I let out a long breath and pulled the letter out of the envelope. The letter reads like this.
"Chen Taiping, Zhou Ping is your good brother, he is now in our hands, if you want to save his life, go up to the Ninth Peak Taoist Temple today. If you don't come tonight, you won't be able to see Zhou Ping in this life and the next."
Not only did I hold on to the letter hard, but the other party asked me to go to the Taoist temple to meet me. It can be seen that the other party does not have any good intentions. However, if you don't go, Zhou Ping's life will be gone. Obviously, I'm going to have to go anyway now.
"It's too much, this is a challenge for us." Yuan Qingguang said angrily.
"Xiao Guangguang, don't go with you, I'll go alone, if I can't come back, you can help me send a message to Senior Brother." I don't want both of you to get caught up in the road.
"How can I do that, go into battle brothers, although we are not relatives, but we are almost the same. Besides, the Maoshan faction doesn't seem to be very powerful, and our brothers can't win the fight." Yuan Qingguang said very confidently.
Although Yuan Qingguang's words are a bit of a braggart, they are not completely unreasonable. Maoshan is good at exorcism, although they have many Taoism, but they often exorcise evil spirits. In terms of real fighting, it is still worse, which can be seen from Zhou Ping's body.
"Okay, why don't we go over tonight to meet the current head of Maoshan." After saying that, I went straight to the yang fire, and the letter was burned directly.
The two of them ate a farmhouse meal at the farmhouse, took a small rest, and headed towards the ninth peak. This time we didn't enjoy the scenery on the road again.
Soon, when I arrived at the Taoist temple of the ninth peak, the sky was completely dark at this moment, and the Taoist temple shrouded in starlight seemed unusually silent.
Just as we were about to knock on the door, the door creaked open from within. An old man in his sixties walked out of it. This old Taoist has a national face, and the whole person looks very loyal. But if you look closely, there is a pair of triangular eyes hidden under his Chinese face. People with triangular eyes like to take advantage of small advantages, and they have many eyes.
This old man's loyal outside can definitely deceive many people, I can't help but secretly say in my heart.
"Mr. Chen, Tianchengzi is polite." Lao Dao finished speaking very politely and arched his hand towards me.
Seeing that he was so polite, I naturally returned the favor.
"Senior Tianchengzi, since you invited me to come, can you let me meet Zhou Ping." I said straight to the point.
"Since Mr. Chen is here, he is not in a hurry, please come in with me." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.
Yuan Qingguang and I glanced at each other, and the two of us stepped into the Taoist temple.
After entering the alley, we were let into the living room in the back yard. Tianchengzi was very polite and asked people to serve us tea.
"Senior Tianchengzi, you don't have to drink the water, let's open the skylight now and say something, you threaten us with Zhou Ping's life, what do you want to do, just say it, don't go around in circles." I'm a person who likes to go straight, I don't like to go around in circles, it's too tiring." I said.
After Tianchengzi listened to my words, he laughed, and then took a sip of water, and he was so full of style that I couldn't help but scold him a hundred times in my heart.
"Mr. Chen, since they all say so, I'll just say it." Tiancheng finally put the teacup down
"Zhou Ping is my junior apprentice, and according to it, he is also my junior nephew. I don't really want to hurt him, but this kid is too angry."
"I just want to know the location of the Soul Condensation Juice, and he just won't tell me."
Hearing Tianchengzi's words, I immediately understood, Tianchengzi just knew about the soul condensation juice, and wanted Zhou Ping to tell him the location of the soul condensing juice, but how could Zhou Ping tell him. He would abuse Zhou Ping like this. However, if Zhou Ping didn't know about the soul condensing juice, he still had something to ask for Zhou Ping, maybe we would never see Zhou Ping again. All some things are also good and not good. If Zhou Ping hadn't encountered the Soul Condensing Juice, he wouldn't have been able to bring such a disaster to himself.
"I know Mr. Chen, you also know the location of the Soul Condensing Juice, and please let Mr. Chen know, I will be very grateful to the whole of Maoshan Mountain." Tianchengzi said very politely.
