Chapter 40: Dismounting
"What's going on?"
Jiang Shuiyao sat next to Ling Hu Jiang'an, took a sip of tea and asked.
Before he came, Chai Que had confessed that the white two-winged spirit cranes raised in the Wandan Sect were specially sent to train flying spirit beast cubs, and the number was extremely rare. Although there is no need to hand it in at the moment, one has died inexplicably, and it must be difficult to explain to the above.
Linghu Jiang'an slapped his palm on the table, the tea splashed all over the table, and said hatefully: "A disciple witnessed it with his own eyes, and the people of Xuanyang Sect shot and killed. ”
Jiang Shuiyao frowned and asked, "How did the Xuanyang Sect get into your mountain gate?" ”
Xiao Yu explained: "The Xuanyang Sect is not far from the Wandan Sect, and although they can't enter the Great Array of the Protector Sect, the space for the two-winged spirit crane to fly is not limited. They must have been lurking outside the Great Sect Protector Array, waiting for the Winged Spirit Crane to fly out, but they were discovered by our sect disciples and then hid again before they could pick up the corpse. ”
Jiang Shuiyao asked: "Since it is a sect, then they should naturally know the origin of the Winged Spirit Crane, aren't they afraid of offending the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect by hunting like this?" ”
Linghu Jiang'an sighed and said, "The Xuanyang Sect has been planning to join the Bloody Soul Sect like us since a few years ago, although the above did not promise on the surface, but in fact, they also arranged the task of raising the two-winged spirit crane cubs. They are making trouble like this just to make us blame the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect after we can't pay the errand, and in the long run, the strength of the upper peak's support will naturally slowly tend to them. ”
Jiang Shuiyao nodded, there has always been no shortage of mutual attacks and annexations between sects, and even Feng Xiangshan's information showed that Xiao Yu was quite an ambitious master. However, this matter came a little more coincidentally, and Jiang Shui faintly felt that this was a problem that someone was deliberately giving him.
Ling Hu approached the winged spirit crane under Jiang Shuiyao's instructions, looked at the wound carefully, and smacked his tongue: "An arrow pierced through the neck, it was done by an expert, and its strength was not low." ”
Jiang Shuiyao turned his head, looked at the old man who was casually playing with the jade wrench in his hand and asked, "Elder Qin, what do you think?" ”
"It's a pity." Qin Mengxiang smiled playfully: "It can't be saved, it's better to bake it at night~ Quan should be the wind for you." ”
Everyone was stunned, Qin Mengxiang was making it clear that he was no longer an envoy and had no obligation to deal with these things anymore?
"Then according to what Elder Qin said, roast him!"
The corners of Jiang Shuiyao's mouth were playful: "Linghu Sect Master, in the next few days, send more disciples to patrol the mountains, as long as I catch the people of Xuanyang Sect, I will naturally have a way to deal with the next things." ”
"Elder Qin, after eating this spirit crane, it's time for you to go back to the sect. After all, the New Year is coming, and no store on the road will dare to open the door to do business, and I can't bear to let you sleep outside at a very old age. ”
After that, Jiang Shuiyao stretched his waist, ignoring Qin Mengxiang, who was pale, and said to Linghu Jiang'an: "I'm a little tired, Linghu Sect Master, please help us arrange two accommodations, to be quieter." But I don't want the kind of house that people who are dying. ”
Linghu Jiang'an responded with a smile and asked Linghu to take them to the place where they lived. Looking at the backs of Jiang Shuiyao and Ling Hu leaving, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The mouth is quite poisonous. ”
"Husband~"
Xiao Yu didn't care about Qin Meng's presence at all, threw a wink at Linghu Jiang'an, and said coquettishly: "Let's go rest too~"
"Okay." Linghu Jiang'an laughed, hugged Xiao Yu and went out, and in an instant, only Qin Mengxiang, who had an ugly face, was left in the main hall. Over the years, these two people have long been extremely disgusted with Qin Mengxiang's greed, and now that he has lost power, he will naturally no longer be as polite as before.
Linghu Yinan took Jiang Shuiyao and Ling Hu to a rather quiet courtyard and left quietly, Ling Hu was very conscious of being a guard, and vigilantly checked the courtyard inside and out before returning to Jiang Shuiyao's side to wait.
"Second Brother Ling, sit down."
Jiang Shuiyao sat on the stone pier in the courtyard, pointed to the position next to him and said. These days, he heard that the brothers brought by Feng Xiangshan had been calling Ling Hu his second brother, and he simply called him so.
However, Ling Hu was so made by a sound that Second Brother Ling couldn't sit or stand, he was bored for a long time before he held his head and said: "Son, just call me by my name." ”
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Shui Yao smiled.
Although Feng Xiangshan and them are under his command, after all, these people are old fritters who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and many times they have to ask them. So in terms of title, Jiang Shuiyao felt that there was nothing wrong with calling it like this.
It was noon, the sun in Nanchengzhou was extremely gentle, Jiang Shuiyao and Ling Hu chatted casually for a few words, and then sat cross-legged in the courtyard to breathe. Last night, he was very satisfied with the comprehension effect of the Eagle Xiang Jue, and the results of insisting on practicing the Blood Clothes Jue every day these days are also very obvious. Jiang Shui is very sure that if he has the opportunity to use his own perception in actual combat in the next few days, then he will definitely be able to take another small step in the cultivation realm.
As for his own secret illness, Li Guang had already made it very clear before leaving that this kind of internal injury would not affect his current cultivation, at least before the Sword Monarch Mirror. Under the comfort of Li Guang and Chai Que, Jiang Shuiyao was also quickly relieved. It will take a long time for him to reach the Sword Monarch Mirror, and the most important thing at the moment is to practice.
Two hours later, a few ape cries woke up Ling Hu, who was lying on the bed and falling asleep.
It was his instinctive reaction, because the sound was too familiar to him. Over the years, he has often cooperated with Feng Xiangshan and others, and in inconvenient situations, he relies on this ape cry to communicate. Only then did he realize that the reason why Jiang Shuiyao continued to practice as if nothing had happened after returning to the courtyard was that he had already let the other brothers hide in the shadows and keep an eye on the movements in the Wandan Sect.
Jiang Shuiyao was practicing the bloody clothes technique in the courtyard, and when he heard Ling Hu's footsteps rushing over, he didn't open his eyes, but just nodded, and the stout man immediately followed the sound to find him, and only reappeared in the courtyard after half an hour.
"Childe."
Ling Hu panted and said in a low voice, "Brother Feng said that the two-winged spirit crane was shot to death by the people of the Wandan Sect, and he had been groping for the Wandan Sect's Protector Array before, so he only sent the news now. ”
Jiang Shuiyao asked, "Do you see the appearance clearly?" ”
Ling Hu said embarrassedly: "No, it's too far away, I only saw that it was an arrow shot from the woods in the sect, and when Brother Feng rushed over, the person had already left." ”
Jiang Shuiyao nodded, as long as it was certain that it was the trick played by the Wandan Sect to catch the thief, it would not be too difficult to solve many problems.
With Feng Xiangshan's strength, whether it is his body or hidden aura, he can easily hide from the disciples who patrol the mountain. So yesterday, after thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Shui Yao decided to put him in the dark and only took Ling Hu into the Wandan Sect. Now it seems that it was indeed a wise choice.
Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! Do you want me to make a move on Xuanyang Sect so soon?
Jiang Shuiyao pursed his lips, and it didn't take long for the gate of the courtyard to be knocked on, and Qin Mengxiang came up.
"My son-in-law is practicing, and I'll talk about it at night." Ling Hu said coldly and was about to close the door, Qin Mengxiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, his face changed and changed, and finally said with a smile: "There are many people at night, it is inconvenient to say." ”
"Let's go in first!" Ling Hu snorted heavily, and coldly watched as the slightly clumsy old man followed him into the door.
"My son-in-law let me stay in the yard before I finished practicing, don't be disturbed. Otherwise, I'll kill you old bones! ”
Although Ling Hu has a straight personality, it does not mean that he is a fool. Qin Mengxiang has been the emperor of the soil for seven or eight years, even if he doesn't need to be reminded by Jiang Shuiyao, he knows that he should polish the arrogance of this old man. Otherwise, if you hold a shelf like at noon, it would be better to cut it with a knife to make people happy.
Ling Hu stood aside with his waist crossed and waited murderously, and Qin Mengxiang really didn't bother Jiang Shuiyao. In fact, when it comes to cultivation, the two of them have the same realm, but over the years, Qin Mengxiang has been bent on reaping benefits from Wandan Sect, and he has long abandoned his cultivation. In addition, he was old, but Ling Hu was a man with a thick waist and round shoulders, so the idea of wanting to do it flashed in Qin Mengxiang's head for a second, and it was quickly dispelled.
The Bloody Cloth Recipe is already too familiar to Qin Mengxiang, he has been an inner sect elder in the Bloody Soul Sect for decades, and Jiang Shuiyao's cultivation depth can be easily seen through. Seeing that Jiang Shui Yao was running like a good one now, Qin Mengxiang couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.
Although he was extremely unhappy with Jiang Shui Yao for stealing his job, he was quite disdainful of the posture of going out with guards as an ordinary disciple. But one thing to say, with Jiang Shuiyao's mastery of the Blood Cloth Technique, Mo said that disciples of the same level as him could not do this, and even most of the disciples of the Monk Mirror in the sect could not reach his level of proficiency.
However, Qin Mengxiang also had some doubts in his heart, he had seen Jiang Shuiyao when he was in the sect, although Jiang Shuiyao was only five or six years old at that time, but from that time on, Jiang Shuiyao's reputation for being a waste of firewood and doing all kinds of evil has long been notorious. Why did this meeting seem to be a different person, not only did he start cultivating, but he also practiced so well?
Qin Mengxiang stood patiently and waited, and finally couldn't hold it back after seeing that it was almost time to eat, and said a little eagerly: "Jiang Shuiyao, the two-winged spirit crane was not killed by someone from Xuanyang Sect. ”
Qin Mengxiang's voice was not loud, but Ling Hu, who was guarding the side, instantly changed his face and was about to fight, Jiang Shuiyao had already opened his eyes and said, "It wasn't someone from Xuanyang Sect who did it, could it be someone from Wandan Sect?" ”
"Very likely." Qin Mengxiang nodded hurriedly, and after staying away from Ling Hu, he continued: "Linghu Jiang'an has been quite honest over the years, but Xiao Yu's mother-in-law's ambition is not small at all, this time I took the risk of shooting the two-winged spirit crane, nine times out of ten, I want to attract your attention and destroy the Xuanyang Sect." ”
"If you are very ambitious, how can you do such a frizzy thing?" Jiang Shuiyao stretched out his hand to take the handkerchief handed over by Ling Hu and wiped his face, and suddenly grinned: "How do I feel, your suspicion is the greatest!" ”
Qin Mengxiang was shocked: "How is it possible?!" ”
Jiang Shuiyao grinned: "How is it impossible? In a few days, the sect will have people send medicinal materials down, and when the time comes, they will naturally hold me accountable if they know that the Winged Spirit Crane was killed. To tell the truth, my reputation of the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect over the years is really not good, and when they go back and report this matter truthfully, even if Deputy Sect Master Chai intends to maintain it, I am afraid that I will have to be sent back to the sect, and the position of this envoy will naturally fall back into your hands? ”
Qin Mengxiang looked frightened, he admitted that Jiang Shuiyao's words were unreasonable, but he was also very sure that Jiang Shuiyao was deliberately ignoring the point that he had been staying with Linghu Jiang'an and his wife from beginning to end, and there was no time to make a move. And the reason why he said this was obviously that the attitude of not caring about himself at noon annoyed him, so now he just took a random reason to turn against himself!
Seeing that Qin Mengxiang began to panic, Ling Hu also twisted his knuckles with extreme cooperation, and shouted, "What a thief shouting to catch a thief!" Old horseman, come and lead the death! ”
"It's not my !!"
Qin Meng was in a cold sweat, and the momentum of Ling Hu Sword Monarch's peak instantly exploded, making him even more sure that he was not the opponent of this rugged man. After leaving such a sentence, he ran away, and almost collided with Linghu Yinan, who was about to knock on the door.
The latter looked at Qin Meng's back as he fled in embarrassment, and then poked his head into the courtyard and shouted, "Little brother! My mother asked me to call you to dinner! ”、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
