Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Sixty-Eight: A Little Showdown
After finishing his guess about Wen Liang, Qian Chao took out an object and held it in his hand, and said:
"Here, Lady Tang, see what this is?"
Tang Ping stretched out his hand to take it, it is a jade pendant carved with moire, the jade is delicate, the color is warm, it is really a piece of beautiful jade, in the middle of the jade pendant, there is an ancient "Zhuang" word, there is silk on it, from the color of the silk, it should be a man wearing things.
When she saw this jade pendant, Tang Ping's heart moved, the word "Zhuang", Mr. Zhuang?
"This is a jade pendant, is it Mr. Zhuang's? What's wrong? ”
Qian Chao suddenly smiled, looked at Tang Ping, and said:
"Tang girl, I've always felt that you are hiding something from me, well, I guessed these things slowly, but you must have known it a long time ago, right? This jade pendant, it is indeed Mr. Zhuang gave me, this time in Ruixuan Town, Mr. Zhuang finally tested me once, it was difficult, but after passing it, I got this jade pendant, which can be regarded as a certificate for me to become a disciple of Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang said to me that he has never accepted apprentices in his life, and he is not ready to accept it now, but a body of learning must be inherited, fortunately, I can still enter his eyes, although we do not have the status of master and apprentice in the future, we must continue to get along with chess friends in the year, but he has learned, as long as I ask, He will teach it to you. Well, what's more, even if he is not in the tea shop in Ruixuan Town in the future, I will be able to enter his room with this jade pendant, and every time I can walk to a large box in his room, I will be able to take one of the good things inside. That's all that is said and done, Tang girl, is it time for you to tell me what you know? ”
"Ahh
Tang Ping didn't expect Qian Chao to suddenly ask this question, just yesterday she also told Tang Bonian that Qian Chao might have seen through something, but she didn't expect Qian Chao to say it directly in person today.
However, Tang Ping still planned to ask again, she believed that she had always covered it up well, and she didn't know where she had a flaw for this kid to see.
"How did you find out?" Tang Ping didn't deny it, but she still asked Qian Chao a little unconvinced.
"Haha, Tang girl, you are a very curious person, you will definitely be entangled with interesting people and interesting things, but in the matter of Mr. Zhuang, you are both curious and restrained, this is your biggest flaw, but you cover it up well, I didn't notice it at first, but after a long time, I will always find your weirdness."
I see, but Tang Ping still wanted to know how Qian Chao guessed this matter, so he asked again:
"What about you...... What do you guess about this? ”
"Well, this has to start with the first time we helped Yan Shuang fight with those scattered cultivators who mixed in, after that time, the five of us have some fame, especially for a Qi refining disciple like me who has no teacher, it is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, with fame, it can let me enter the eyes of many Jiuxuan seniors, maybe I can use this to make a certain senior take a fancy to me and accept me as a disciple. But in fact, it has been quiet, and there has never been any rumor that a certain senior intends to take me as an apprentice. When Yanshuang worshipped Mu Xiufeng's predecessor Lu Suyang as a teacher, Luo Ying and Wen Yuan, the two senior sisters, also came to me very strangely and asked me, they wanted to know if I was going to apprentice too, I was curious at the time, but then I figured it out, it must be those two senior sisters who begged Senior Luo and Senior Wen to include me in the door wall, but they were rejected, so there is such a question. Later, Ma Hu also persuaded me once, Senior Brother Ma tried his best to let me worship his master Tian Zhi'an's predecessors as a teacher, Tang girl, it is inevitable that Ma Hu also asked Tian Zhi'an seniors, right? But none of these three seniors ever looked for me, and they seemed to be dissatisfied with me. For a while, I really thought that I was not appreciated and accepted by those seniors, and I felt very unhappy about this. ”
"But later, in Ruixuan Town, I met Mr. Zhuang, now think about it, even the Yi Ming Pavilion or when we drank tea in the White Crane Tower in Ruixuan Town, I inquired with the shopkeeper, and then I didn't plan to go directly to the Yi Ming Pavilion, but you and Sister Yan went to buy skirts, I was bored and happened to see the Yi Ming Pavilion, so I walked in, and since then I have formed a fate with Mr. Zhuang. Tang girl, all this seems to be a series of accidents, but if you think about it carefully, from the time all the seniors in Jiuxuan snubbed me, and until I accidentally discovered that there was a mysterious teahouse owner in the Yiming Pavilion, all this seemed to be inevitable. Well, hehe, especially you, in the matter of me going to meet Mr. Zhuang at the Yiming Pavilion, you are showing that you want to get away with it, and from time to time you knock on the side to probe my mouth, haha......"
"Seriously!" Tang Ping airway.
"Okay, okay, if you can make so many Jiuxuan seniors in the sect not accept me as an apprentice, you must be a great person. And Tang girl, I think your sixth grandfather, Tang Bonian's senior, he must know something, and then you will know, but, as I said earlier, I can meet Mr. Zhuang, it seems that it is a series of accidents, or Mr. Zhuang who met naturally, and in order for all this to happen naturally, it must be that Senior Tang does not allow you to reveal this matter in front of me, well, no, Brother Li, Brother Lu and Sister Yan They should not know about it. So, my guess is ......"
Qian Chao pointed with a finger in the direction of the Jade Hushan outside the window, and continued:
"There must be one up there, who is leading all this, am I right?"
Hearing this, Tang Ping sighed and said helplessly:
"I can't hide it from you, how long have you been thinking like this?"
"I've been suspicious since I first met Mr. Zhuang."
"Okay, you guessed right, the matter is pretty much what you just said, I did ask my sixth grandfather, and I am also curious why those Jiuxuan seniors are blind one by one, why are they indifferent to you? That time my sixth grandfather told me about this matter, indeed as you think, there is an ancestor on the Jade Pot Mountain, well, it was still the first time we helped Yan Shuang, you once used a talisman to arrange a formation, trapped the huge blood and mud puppet, and then destroyed it, listen to my sixth grandfather, all this is in the eyes of a patriarch surnamed Mo who happened to pass by, he admires you very much, but limited to the rules of the sect, it is impossible to accept you as a disciple, At the same time, I also feel that if you Jiuxuan's predecessors accept you as a disciple, it will delay you, so I specially summoned my sixth grandfather to Yuhu Mountain to inquire about your situation, and then the next thing is that Mo Zu summoned the seniors of Jiuxuan, so that they are not allowed to accept you as a disciple, although those seniors are puzzled, they can only do it. Next, it's when you meet that Mr. Zhuang in Ruixuan Town. My sixth grandfather said that Mr. Zhuang should be a friend of Mozu, with a very strange temper, and he is definitely not a monk of our five spirits, and he has no disciples, so Mozu designed all this, so that you can appear in front of Mr. Zhuang seemingly by chance, and let Mr. Zhuang accept you as a disciple after his own heart, all this must be natural, and Mr. Zhuang must not let Mr. Zhuang see the flaws, so my sixth grandfather made me swear before telling me this, these are not to tell you that there is Sister Yan, Brother Li and Brother Lu. In case it is seen through by Mr. Zhuang, it will delay Mr. Zhuang, but in my opinion, if this thing really doesn't work out, it will also delay you, that Mo Zu is said to be the number one rune master in our sect, and his friend, that Mr. Zhuang must also be a pedantic Heavenly Yuanying Grandmaster, the opportunity is too rare, so I have been hiding it. ”
Hearing this, Qian Chao understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, and Qian Chao naturally didn't care about Tang Ping's concealment of herself, knowing that she was Yucheng herself, but ...... There was one more thing he wanted to know, too.
"Also, Tang girl," Qian Chao's face became serious when he spoke, "Is that Mr. Zhuang ......?"
Tang Ping sighed and said:
"Well, Mo Zu and my sixth grandfather didn't say it explicitly, but my sixth grandfather guessed it himself...... That Mr. Zhuang is likely to die soon, it should be that there is no hope of ascending to the immortal and his life is about to end, Mozu and Mr. Zhuang are friends first, and secondly, he can't bear to let what he has learned in his life go to waste, so he designed all this. ”
Qian Chao nodded gloomily and said:
"Sure enough, it's the same as I guessed......"
"And what are you going to do next?"
"Well, although I don't have the status of master and apprentice with Mr. Zhuang, he is actually my master, and in my own opinion, Mr. Zhuang has long known the arrangement of that Mo Zu, but he just doesn't say it. In this case, there is no need to hide this matter from Brother Li, Sister Yan and Brother Lu, we will go back and forth to Ruixuan Town in the future, and I will go to Mr. Zhuang, and I must inform them about the matter between me and Mr. Zhuang. ”
After saying this, Qian Chao changed the topic:
"Next, it's a matter of a few of us, this time I saved Zuo You from Yan Jing's hands, and I got those letters from Zuo You, Yan Zhen fled, then Wen Liang must have known that we intervened, I guess Yan Jing must have moved, but we don't know anything about it. But...... But there's a chance, I said before, remember? ”
"Is it the one we met outside, the one who led someone to block us in the ruins with Luo Ying and the others, you said you were going to buy him." Tang Ping said.
"That's right, it's him, I asked Senior Brother Ma Hu, that person's name is Chu Yuan, he must be a person from the Ten Year Society, this person is not a little more infamous except for acting a little radically in calculating Senior Sister Luo Ying's affairs, he should be a person of the Ten Year Society, and the Ten Years Club has an inextricable relationship with the Cold Water Pool, there is a person named Xing Rang who has been hiding in the Cold Water Pool, and he is now cooperating with Wen Liang, if we can let this Chu Yuan work for us, then in dealing with Wen Liang, we are no longer blind and deaf."
If you want to buy Chu Yuan, there is naturally only one thing that can be done, that is, the Haiyun Jade Grease Lamp, Qian Chao's five people currently have only one in their hands, but the five people of Qian Chao do not have Chu Yuan's urgent situation of dying if they don't build a foundation in a few years at this time, and with Qian Chao's means, the five of them will inevitably open the ruins outside the sect, and this thing will have a chance to get it again, so if you can use the Haiyun Jade Grease Lamp to impress Chu Yuan, it will be a good deal.
Tang Ping was not against this, but she thought about it a little more, and she said:
"Your idea is indeed worth trying, but there is one thing, when we talk to him about this matter, it is necessary for Luo Ying's people to witness it here, so that there will be a deterrent, and secondly, it will make him believe in you more."
"Well, you're right, but this matter always has to be officially talked about with Sister Yan, Brother Li and Brother Lu, and tomorrow when everyone comes to practice, we will talk about this matter, how about it?"
"Okay, oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Yao, this is my sixth grandfather asked me to hand it over to you, he also studied the study of spiritual veins in the early years, but then gave up halfway, but he collected some distribution maps of the spiritual veins in the area of our Five Spirit Sect, and let me tell you, these things can be regarded as the secrets of the Five Spirit Sect, so you can't pass them on."
"Oh!" Qian Chao's eyes lit up, this was the second time Tang Bonian gave him a map, "This is a good thing, why don't you take it out earlier!" ”
