Volume 5: Chu Ming One Hundred and Nine: The children of the Tian family are coming!
Qian Chao's five people naturally wanted to practice together, or in the hall under Qian Chao, or according to the "Five Elements Lingxiu Formation" founded by Qian Chao and named by Tang Ping, they practiced for nearly a day.
And while Qian Chao was practicing, something happened inside and outside the sect.
Let's start with what happened in the sect.
Generally speaking, if someone helps him in his shop, the shop does not have to be closed when he returns to the sect, but this time when he comes back, his shop still has to be closed, because this time the original little helper in his shop who is a casual cultivator, well, it is Lei Xian, with the help of Tang Ping, he also became a disciple of the Five Spirits. Xu Sheng asked Lei Xian which sect of the Five Spirits Sect he wanted to go to, and Lei Xian chose Jiuxuan after he understood Bu Yan, probably because he had made up his mind to be tied to Bu Yan in the future, so Xu Sheng took them to Jiuxuan.
After settling down, Xu Sheng left, Lei Xian looked at the small courtyard where he lived and was very satisfied, it was a coincidence, his residence in Jiuxuan was actually vacant after Qian Chao moved, although there were many children from the family who came to the sect this time, but most of them looked down on this small courtyard, and now it was arranged for Lei Xian.
Bu Yan looked inside and out, and said:
"Hehe, what a coincidence, this small courtyard used to be lived by Senior Brother Qian, he later found a big courtyard, which was vacant, and now it has become your residence, well, although this courtyard is smaller, it is not bad, it is a good fortune, and you will definitely be able to get ahead here in the future."
Lei Xian nodded with satisfaction.
Although he became a disciple of the Five Spirits, Lei Xian still worked as a helper in Bu Yan's shop in the future, so Bu Yanqi talked to him about things in the shop for a while and was about to leave.
When Lei Xian sent Bu Yanqi out, someone on the road suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Lei Xian!"
When Lei Xian raised his eyes, his face immediately changed, and there was a person standing opposite, with a look of surprise on his face, it was actually Dai Xiao!
A few days ago, when Lei Xian was still a loose cultivator, it was this Dai Xiao who recognized him, and then the four foundation building monks in Bianzhou beat him up in Ruixuan Town, and by mistake they shot at Qian Chao in Song Fenglou. Lei Xian is essentially a timid person, although he is now in the Five Spirits, the original demonic obstacles in his heart have not been overcome, and he is still very timid when he sees the enemies of the past. However, Dai Xiao didn't know how Lei Xian entered the Five Spirits Sect, and he even thought that this Lei Xian risked hiding in the Five Spirits Sect in order to avoid the search of the Bianzhou monks.
"Hah! You guy, you actually mixed into the Five Spirits Sect, it's really bold, aren't you afraid of death, it's a capital crime for Ye Xiu to sneak into ......the sect," Dai Xiao said viciously.
"That's it!" Bu Yanqi interrupted Dai Xiao impatiently when he heard this, "What's the noise, I know you have a holiday with Lei Xian, but I can tell you that Lei Xian is a genuine disciple of the Five Spirits and Nine Xuan, take a good look!" ”
As he spoke, Bu Yan held up the jade pendant of the master hanging on the belt around Lei Xian's waist.
"See? If you see it, get out, I can tell you, the sect is not as good as you Bianzhou, if you dare to come nonsense, I have the means to clean you up, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire about Bu Yan's reputation! ”
Turning his head, Bu Yanqi said to Lei Xian again:
"Don't worry about them, no one will dare to touch you if I'm here."
That being said, Lei Xian's chest was still pounding with tension.
And that Dai Xiao didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what happened to the people from his four families in Ruixuan Town, but what he saw in front of him was that Lei Xian really became a disciple of the Five Spirits, how could all this happen, his partners from Bianzhou were not around, and he didn't dare to stay here longer, so he turned around and left, anxious to find his fox friends to discuss this matter.
"Alas, you, your guts are a little too small," Bu Yanqi stared at the back of Dai Xiao and said, "From now on, if you want to take revenge, your eyes can't just stay on these boys, you are going to bring down the four families." ”
……
After talking about what happened in the sect, the next thing is outside the sect, and what happened outside the sect is involved in human life.
As mentioned earlier, because of the "Chengguan Grace Test" held once every ten years in the Five Spirits Sect, many children of the family have recently come to the Five Spirits Sect, and at least more than half of such people are not short of spirit stones, so they can not go to the Worship House every month to receive a dispatch like ordinary disciples, and then go out to earn spirit stones.
But curiosity is something that everyone has, even if it is not to go out to earn spirit stones, there is always a lack of discipline at home in the Five Spirits Sect, and everything has become self-restraint, so many children of the family who have not been here for a long time are full of freshness to the world outside the Five Spirits Sect, or they have a strong interest in the daily affairs of ordinary Five Spirit disciples, so in recent days, there are always people who have made appointments with each other, and after shopping around the sect, The children of these families went to the sect in groups to take a look and experience it.
Among them, there are three people, who have known each other for a long time at a glance, and they are getting together and leaving the sect unhurriedly.
These three boys should be arrogant and bad boys in their respective families, and after staying in the sect for a few days, in addition to picking fat and thin, talking about the seniors who want them to apprentice at home, the most they talk about is which senior sister in the sect has seen the figure and appearance of the unforgettable, etc., and they are talking and laughing all the way away from the Five Spirits Sect.
While they were laughing, the three boys were suddenly attracted by the sound of someone talking nearby.
"Oh, it's really rare for the three of them to be together!"
There is a person in a moon-white robe standing on a mountain rock near the left, although these three boys have all changed into the green robes of the five spirit disciples, but they have not regarded themselves as a five spirit disciple yet, so they did not notice that the person in front of them was not a five spirit disciple for the first time, and looked at it curiously, as if to identify whether they knew this person, and that person was holding a few pieces of paper and looking at them while comparing them.
"Who are you?" One of the three asked.
"Leave me alone, let's talk about you first," the man looked at the person who asked with a smile on his face, "Xu Yuan, the son of the Xu family in Qingzhou, because of a few quarrels, he killed the Liang family, the Zou family, and the Zhao family in Qingzhou, well, your Xu family is powerful in Qingzhou, no one dares to speak, and the people of those three families can't afford to provoke your Xu family, and they can only be secretly angry." However, someone has issued a reward to you, ah, here it is said that if you take the head of your Xu Yuan, you can receive 600 spirit stones, which is not a small amount! ”
"What!" The face of the man named Xu Yuan changed, and he immediately guessed that it was the hands and feet of the three families in secret.
"Well, and you, Your Excellency's name is Lu Wei, the Lu family in Qingzhou?"
"You, how do you know my name?" One of the three had a change of color.
"Hehe," the man in the white robe smiled, shaking a few pieces of paper in his hand, "It's all here, you can see it at a glance." ”
"I'm Lu Wei, what about you?"
"Well, Lu Wei, the son of the Lu family in Qingzhou, also because of some trivial things, you killed a son and nephew of the Qingzhou Wanjia in public, and then, you are worried about being retaliated against by the Wanjia, so you simply don't do anything, and the Lu family at home is playing right and wrong, and the provoking Lu family will destroy the entire Wanjia, tsk, it's really ruthless, but someone from the Wanjia escaped, and then gave your head a reward of four hundred spirit stones, hehe, less is less, but it's better than nothing."
The face of this man named Lu Wei was gloomy, and he had probably guessed what would happen next.
"It's you in the end, Qu Tong, right? What you did was even worse, from the mouth of a friend to know the family heirloom treasures, after the heart of the heart, he told his family, and then took advantage of the night to loot, so that a small small family Min family full of doors and no one left, you are also stupid enough, it could have been fine, but you proudly went everywhere to say, that the Min family had a woman married before the door was destroyed, and after knowing this, you opened a bonus of five hundred spirit stones for your head. Hehe, three, what's the matter, I'm not wrong about these things, right? ”
"Who are you?" When the three of them heard that the other party actually told all the shady things they had done in the past, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"In Xia Zuoyou, a loose cultivator, but he makes a living by killing guys like you." Zuo You said with a chuckle.
"Hmph, you're just alone, do you want to deal with the three of us at the same time?"
"Well, in fact, I have dealt with more of them, and you children of the family are better to deal with than casual cultivation."
"Up, kill him!"
"Haha......"
The battle was not fierce, it didn't take long for it to end, Zuo You's moon-white robe didn't even have a single blood spot on it, but the three of them had fallen at his feet on their backs or lying down without any breath, and Zuo You was holding the storage bag found from these three people to inspect.
"Well, in the end, it is a child of a great family, and he carries so many spirit stones with him, plus three heads, this time it is really not a loss!"
……
It wasn't until the evening that the five of them ended their day's practice, and they felt that they had made a lot of progress that day.
Then, with the afterglow of the sunset, the five of them chatted and gossiped in the courtyard of Qian Chao with refreshments.
"It's still a little early for us to come back from Ruixuan Town, Sister Tang, how did your sixth grandfather Tang deal with those guys."
Lu Pingchuan chewed his snack while pulling the topic back to what happened in Ruixuan Town a few days ago.
"That's right, Ah Ping, I don't know much about it now, who is going to assassinate Brother Qian?" Yan Xuan also asked.
"Who else can it be, it must be those people from the Tian family, Qian boy, the people of the Tian family really look up to you, you are a little qi refining cultivator, they actually found a foundation building a loose cultivator to assassinate you, not to mention in the sect, even in the cultivation world, this is rare, it can catch up with the drama of the uncle of the great family assassinating his nephew, if you say it, it is enough for you Qian Boy to show off for a while."
Qian Chao naturally highly suspected that it was the Tian family who was moving behind his back, but after those people were arrested, the handling of the matter had almost nothing to do with Qian Chao, not to mention Qian Chao, even Tang Ping was excluded at that time, and later Tang Ping used the excuse to entangle Tang Bonian to fight for Lei Xian to become a disciple of the Five Spirits, and Tang Bonian did not allow her to get involved in the rest of the things.
"The one who stabbed me directly was the one who broke into our room that night and committed the murder, and it must not be from the Tian family, but I heard that Senior Brother Xu Sheng later arrested all the people of the Tian family in Ruixuan Town, but he has not been interrogated, why is this?" Qian Chao said.
"Why else, those few scattered cultivators who were caught didn't know that it was the Tian family who hired them until they died, and the Tian family naturally wouldn't leave such a big handle."
"To death? How many of them were executed? Qian Chao asked.
"Otherwise, what do you think will happen to them, and what will they do if they are kept? Not to mention that it is a capital crime for them to assassinate the Five Spirit disciples in Ruixuan Town, and the Tian family will not let them go after the matter is completed, oh, my sixth grandfather came back a few days ago, and I also asked him, the sect used this matter to beat the Tian family hard, but what my sixth grandfather meant seemed to be that the Tian family is now full-fledged, and they can't move for the time being, what do you want, hum! ”
"It's just a family, even if the Tian family is powerful, can't our sect have anything to do with it, Mu Yangzong was forced by us to bow his head just now, how can he do this to the Tian family?" Li Jian asked curiously on the side.
"Brother Li, the gap between the family and the family is too big, well, take the Tang family I was born in, I was born in the Tang family of Jinghai Country in Fuquan Prefecture, in addition to Jinghai Country in Fuquan Prefecture, there are other small countries in Fuquan Prefecture, that is to say, no matter how powerful the Tang family is, it is impossible to dominate Fuquan Prefecture. Also, Song Fenglou we often go to, that is the industry of the Song family in Longzhou, and Longzhou is not only the Song family, but also a large and small family, the strength of the Song family in Longzhou and even in the cultivation world can be ranked famous, but it has not been able to dominate Longzhou. Only this Tian family, Qian boy, your country is Qi State, in fact, Qi Country is the entire Qi State, Tian Family is Qi Zhou Tian Family, monopolizing a state, it is said that there are Yuan Ying monks in the family, the strength is very strong, and it is in the north, if the Tian family is moved, the sect will inevitably do its best to do it, and if it really does this, then Mu Yangzong, which is not very far away, may take the opportunity to move, this is the place that the sect is afraid of, so it can only try to weaken the strength of the Tian family first, I can't do it until the time is ripe, so even if I know that the assassination was done by the Tian family, my sixth grandfather can only use the topic to play, because I was also present at the time, so he insisted that those people assassinated me, only in this way can my sixth grandfather forcibly pull him into it and force the Tian family to take a few steps back, otherwise, it will really only be a tear of the face. ”
"So that's the case, so what price did the Tian family pay this time?"
"The first is that the Tian family can continue to operate their own industries in Ruixuan Town and the other three towns, but in the future, whether the people who operate these industries are the people in charge or the people who do things, cultivation is only allowed to refine qi, and those who build the foundation are not allowed, and the people who come and go from the Tian family must immediately report to the Five Spirits Sect when they enter these towns on the border of the Five Spirits, and the matter of hiding many foundation building monks in Ruixuan Town like last time is absolutely not allowed to happen again; Second, the Tian family has to find a few promising children from a few rooms in their own family this time to send them to the Wuling Sect, nominally the Wuling Sect invites the children of the Tian family to participate in next year's 'Grace Test', but in fact it is to ask the Tian family for hostages, it must be a descendant, it doesn't matter whether it is a long house or not, this sect bites very hard, the Tian family has no choice, and finally has to agree, it is estimated that it will not be a few days, Qian boy, you can see those sons and young ladies of the Tian family in the sect. Well, there is a third article, the sect sent a few elders to Qizhou, to directly select their sons and nephews from those small families in Qizhou who have little power to come to the Five Spirits Sect, you know, in Qizhou, if the children of those small families want to have some benefits, they can only be sent to the Tian family, and most of those people will also work for the Tian family in the future, hmph, this is somewhat similar to the means of the Five Spirits Sect to control many families. ”
Qian Chao pondered for a moment and said:
"With the strength of the Tian family, it is estimated that the next generation they are focusing on cultivating has already laid a foundation, even if they send children of the descendants, what can they do, they can't move their roots."
"So what, as long as someone from the Tian family sends it in, it will be easy to do, remember Han Jin? It was the Wen family's idea that he mixed up with Wen Zhang in the sect, and if this method was done by the sect, it would be much better than Han Jin. ”
"Actually, my sixth grandfather also said that it is best to deal with the Tian family by the monks of Qizhou, but the monks of Qizhou in the sect, Qian boy, you are counted as one, and that Yin situation, he is also counted as one, there are really not many people. Oh, by the way, the next step of the sect is to support a few small families in Qizhou little by little, and the children of a few small families in Qizhou who are going to come this time, as long as they have some appearance, they will probably be arranged to apprentice soon. In short, there will be no movement on the side of Mu Yangzong for the time being, and the sect has already begun to deal with the Tian family through the matter of Ruixuan Town. The rest is us, boy Qian, practice hard, and when the sect starts, if we have already built the foundation, maybe you will ...... Well...... It's that a few of us will go to Qizhou to do things together! ”
Qian Chao suddenly said:
"Is the reason why the sect has been slow to take action against the Tian family...... You just said that there are also Yuanying monks in the Tian family...... Of course, there are a lot of Yuanying ancestors in the sect, and the existence of Yuanying Monk has transcended the boundary between the ordinary sect and the family, is it possible that some ancestor on our Jade Pot Mountain does not want to see what kind of trouble between the sect and the Tian family and hurt the relationship with the Yuanying monk of the Tian family? ”
Tang Ping was stunned for a moment, Qian Chao's statement was something she hadn't thought of, but she immediately reacted, Qian Kid can have such an idea must have something to do with Mr. Zhuang in Ruixuan Town, they all say that people can see far as long as they stand taller, and apprentice to a Jiedan monk can naturally see farther, but Qian Chao's current mysterious master is very likely to be a powerful monk at the level of Yuan Ying, so Qian Chao will see the problem like this.
"If my guess is correct," Qian Chao continued, "Maybe the Tian family's Yuanying monk is already in his twilight years, and if he can't ascend in a few years, he will only be able to feather, no matter which result he is, it will cause the Tian family's strength to be greatly reduced, so the sect will start to deal with the Tian family, right?" ”
"This ...... Is it possible? Yan Xuan asked on the side.
"Money boy, how did you come up with this?" Tang Ping asked deliberately.
"Hehe," Qian Chao pointed casually, it was the Jade Pot Mountain that appeared in the air in the distance, "A mountain is there, how could you not think of it." ”
Qian Chao said this is really an excuse, can think that these are indeed related to his contact with Mr. Zhuang, the mysterious Mr. Zhuang when chatting with him, the people he talked about are very few Yudan monks, those names Qian Chao remembered, after coming back, I found out that the characters occasionally mentioned in Mr. Zhuang's mouth are either the Yuanying Patriarch on the Jade Pot Mountain in the sect, or the Yuanying monks of several other major sects, of course, there are some that he has not found out the origin, and the exchanges between these characters have long been no longer concerned about the struggle of interests between sects, is very free, even if the relationship between the Five Spirits Sect and the Muyang Sect was so stiff and tense a few days ago, the Yuanying Patriarchs on the Jade Pot Mountain and those Yuanying monks in the Muyang Sect still corresponded in the same way, so Qian Chao had such an idea.
"Don't talk about this, boy Qian, do we have to open the relics that Luo Ying gave you one by one?"
"That's actually not in a hurry, our current cultivation is the middle level of Qi refining, and the Haiyun Jade Grease Lamp is not in a hurry to use, if you pass by or get close when you go out, just open it easily, but don't forget that there were a lot of people outside when we finally opened the ruins, so we have to be more careful when we go out, there are many good things outside, not necessarily all of them are in the ruins......"
"That's good, come, look," said Tang Ping, who took out a map from his body and drew a circle with his finger in one of the areas, "Here, boy Qian, help me find the place where the aura is the strongest in this place, and then let's go for a walk, do you remember the Qingluan when you killed the blind worm?" My master said it was likely to lay eggs there, and that egg was very important to me......"
Of course, Qian Chao understood what Tang Ping meant, looked at the map, and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely go there, there is a kind of Dan furnace on the "Washing Danlu" that is used by qi refining monks, there are only a few materials missing, and if you find all of them, you can refine a Dan furnace for Sister Yan that should be very good, well, those materials are not easy to find, Sister Yan, if you can refine it before your apprenticeship, that Dan furnace will be a congratulatory gift for your apprenticeship."
"Okay!" Yan Xuan said happily.
……
It was also the afterglow of the sunset, and somewhere on the top of a mountain outside the sect, two people were sitting on the edge of a wooden stake drinking wine.
One of these two is Meng Huaifu, and the other is Zuo You, I didn't expect that a child of a big family and a casual cultivator would still be friends.
"What are you doing in the Five Spirits Sect?" Meng Huaifu said.
"Ah," Zuo You took out a piece of paper from his arms and slapped it on the stake, the paper was still a reward for a picture of a picture, and it was a handsome young man, but Meng Huaifu's face became unhappy after seeing it.
"You're still doing that, huh...... Ge Yu is mine, don't touch him! ”
"A few days ago, I knew from other people's mouths that someone chased into the Five Spirits Sect for Ge Hao, and I guessed that it was likely to be you, don't worry, Ge Tan is yours, I won't touch him, but this time I mixed in the Five Spirits, and there are still a few heads to take away."
"Aren't you afraid that something will happen and you won't be able to leave?" Meng Huaifu frowned and asked, "After all, this is the Five Spirits Sect. ”
"Hmph, so what, even if I am unlucky, otherwise what can I do, is it possible that I will conjure up a big family for myself to support me?"
"From whose mouth did you hear that I was chasing in? In Yingchuan, the people who knew that I had entered the Five Spirits Sect in addition to my family, the Ge family knew about it, and they met it in Ruixuan Town, but they didn't dare to say anything, who else could know? ”
"Brother Meng, don't underestimate the Five Spirits Sect, this is also a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden," Zuo You said with a smile and then raised his glass and drank it all, "Well, there are also a few interesting characters." ”
