Chapter Seventy-Three: The Blockade
Xingzhou, Yangping City, Tianyizong.
Heng Mingzhi sat in the study, recording some of the things that happened in the last day in the book in front of him.
After writing "Ye Yousheng went to participate in the "Battle of Geniuses" audition finals", his pen paused, and after thinking for a while, he was still ready to write another line "Qin Zhen then also went to Yangping City".
"Brother Heng, it turns out that you are in the study!" After Kong Mingshan finished practicing his sword, he walked in from the outside excitedly, his face full of joy.
"Hmm." Heng Mingzhi put down the pen, closed the book and stood up.
"Brother Heng, are you writing something? Is it important work? I'm not bothering you?" Kong Mingshan approached, saw the book on the bookcase and the undried pen next to him, and realized that Heng Mingzhi seemed to be doing something, and the expression on his face immediately became uneasy.
"It's not an important thing, it's just a little habit of my own, I have to record what happened recently every once in a while, so as not to have too many things in the future and forget all the details of the past." Heng Mingzhi said casually.
"Do you have to write down everything? Isn't it going to be a little too hard?" Kong Mingshan was a little puzzled, "Isn't it just necessary to remember those key things? Like some things happen every day, if you had to write them down one by one......" he swallowed back the last "just a waste of time".
"Gee, so it's just my personal habit." Heng Mingzhi smiled, "Maybe in the future, when I look at the little things now, I will feel extraordinarily meaningful. I didn't want to miss any details, but I couldn't remember everything, so I had to write them down with pen and paper."
"I see!" Kong Mingshan thought about it and felt that what Heng Mingzhi said seemed to make sense.
But when he recalled what had happened recently, there seemed to be no details worth recording other than cultivating with other fellow sects every day.
I don't know what is worthy of Brother Heng's careful record.
Speaking of which, Senior Sister and Senior Brother Ye have been away for several days. It was only a few days, but he was already getting used to the things that only Brother Heng was teaching them in the Tianyi Sect. But a few other fellow disciples didn't think so, they seemed to miss Senior Sister and Senior Brother Ye very much, and they had to pester Brother Heng to ask questions every day after cultivating. Chinese Net
Kong Mingshan couldn't understand their behavior.
Asking every day is just "When will the senior sister come back?" Or, "When will Senior Brother Ye come back?" , Brother Heng is not their servant, why should he be concerned about their whereabouts, and delay the time for Brother Heng to teach him.
But he knew that such thoughts could not be said to anyone here.
He saw that Heng Mingzhi had no intention of continuing to record, so he was about to ask some questions about cultivation, but before he could speak, four other fellow disciples ran in from outside the door.
He Yun ran to the front, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of Heng Mingzhi's clothes: "Senior Brother Heng! When will Senior Sister and Senior Brother Ye come back?"
"......" The corners of Kong Mingshan's mouth twitched, and he took a step back in silence.
"Well...... We'll have to wait a few more days." Heng Mingzhi touched his chin.
"But that's what you told us yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday!" He Yun crossed his hands on his hips.
"Haha, then you must be mistaken." Heng Mingzhi began to pretend to be confused.
He Yun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly raised his eyebrows, pointing to Kong Mingshan on the side: "Senior Brother Ye, you see that Kong Mingshan can only ask you questions every day now, if Senior Sister and Senior Brother Ye come back, he will have more people to ask, and you can also be lazy." The last few words, she said very quietly, and only Heng Mingzhi and Kong Mingshan, who were close, heard it.
"Well, you have a point." Heng Mingzhi pretended to ponder for a moment, and then took out the communication jade handle, "Then I'll ask Qin Zhen when she will come back."
"Don't you ask Senior Brother Ye?"
Heng Mingzhi thought hard for a second in "Tell them that Ye Yousheng is so stupid that he can still drop the communication jade handle" and "Maintain Ye Yousheng's image in front of children", and then resolutely chose the former.
「
Alas, some people forgot to take the communication jade handle away when they went out because they were angry, and I can't help it." Heng Mingzhi looked embarrassed and let out a long sigh.
"Who is it?" Wang Yu didn't understand why they were obviously talking about Senior Sister and Senior Brother Ye, but they suddenly started to say "some people" again.
Xu Jingxuan poked him lightly and whispered something. Wang Yu didn't hear clearly, so he lowered his head and leaned over, and Xu Jingxuan whispered in his ear again: "Senior Brother Heng is talking about Senior Brother Ye."
"Huh? Would Senior Brother Ye still forget to bring something?" Wang Yu touched his head suspiciously, "Who made Senior Brother Ye angry? I'm going to help Senior Brother Ye vent his anger!"
「……」
Now everyone stopped talking, and He Yun lay behind He Feng, desperately holding back laughter.
Heng Mingzhi coughed lightly, and was about to send a message to Qin Hao, but his communication jade handle received a message first. He glanced at it, but his face suddenly became solemn.
"Brother Heng, what's wrong?" Kong Mingshan saw that his face was wrong, and asked hurriedly, but he wondered if the senior sister would not come back in the short term.
「…… Yangping City, it's blocked." Heng Mingzhi clenched the communication jade handle in his hand and said word by word.
"What! Can Senior Sister and Senior Brother Ye come back?" He Yun said anxiously.
Heng Mingzhi swept the expressions of the five children, and his voice slowed down: "It's urgent, I have to go over, and you have to take care of yourself for the next period of time, can you do it?"
Without waiting for them to reply, he continued, "No, it doesn't matter, I can send you home, I won't force you, you can choose whatever you want."
"We can take care of ourselves!" He Yun was reluctant, and immediately said, "We are not children anymore!"
"What's so hard about this, how can you go home for this." Wang Yu was also dissatisfied.
Although Xu Jingxuan and He Feng did not speak, they also nodded in agreement.
Kong Mingshan was stunned for a moment: "Brother Heng, can I go with you?"
"No." Heng Mingzhi directly refused, "This time the situation is not right, I don't know the specific reason yet, I can't take any of you over."
"That's right, let's just stay and cultivate hard." Wang Yu grabbed Kong Mingshan's shoulder.
Kong Mingshan was caught off guard and stumbled under his feet, but he quickly stood firm and stopped talking.
After Heng Mingzhi explained some more things, he handed a money bag to Xu Jingxuan: "Xiao Xuan, I will hand this over to you for safekeeping, this money is enough for you to use for a month, and you will use it according to what you think is reasonable." Remember, it's the result of your own thinking."
"I, I can't do it......" Xu Jingxuan's lips trembled, only to feel that the money bag in his hand was unusually hot.
"It's okay, Xiao Xuan, we'll help you!" He Yun leaned over and saw Heng Mingzhi glancing at her, and hurriedly added, "It's to give opinions, give opinions!" But in the end, I will listen to Xiao Xuan!"
Heng Mingzhi was a little worried, but now he was more worried about the situation on Qin Hao and Ye Yousheng's side, so he could only ask the main points again and leave in a hurry.
Xu Jingxuan held the money bag in his hand and stood in place at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Kong Mingshan pursed his lower lip and proposed, "Do you want to count the total amount first, and then roughly plan the expenses for each day in the future, and see how much is needed to allocate each item. And then go through the actual cost of the next few days to see if the plan is in line with it, and then make changes?"
"I think so!" He Yun's eyes lit up, but she remembered Heng Mingzhi's advice again, so she said, "But Xiaoxuan, you don't have to be pressured, we don't force you to do this, it depends on how you want to arrange it."
Xu Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said softly, "It's okay, I also think it's good to arrange this way."
"Then will we all come together, or will Xiao Xuan do it alone?" Wang Yu asked.
"Let's go together, Senior Brother Heng didn't say that they can't do things together, if you have to do everything, you have to come to Xiaoxuan, and you won't be tired to death." He Yun said, I want to help Xu
Jing Xuan counted the money together.
Wang Yu felt that she was reasonable, He Feng had always listened to his sister, and Kong Mingshan had no objections.
So everyone sat down in a circle and consciously divided the work and cooperated.
At this time, in Yangping City.
Qin Hao sat in the weapon shop in the pot and alley, his fingers tapping on the communication jade handle in his other hand.
Heng Mingzhi replied quickly, and almost not long after she sent it, she received a reply from Heng Mingzhi.
The above briefly talked about the situation of Tianyi Sect, and everything is fine. Then he asked her what was going on in Yangping City to close the city, and he was rushing over here now. Finally, he added that Ye Yousheng forgot to bring the communication jade handle and went out, and he can't contact Ye Yousheng now.
"What a coincidence, how come you encounter something every time you come to Yangping City." Qiu Sixian sat behind the counter and said nonchalantly.
"Maybe it's because I know you." Qin Zhen replied to Heng Mingzhi with a "good", and put away the communication jade handle again.
"Then I'm so unlucky, no wonder business hasn't been doing well lately." Qiu Sixian pretended to sigh.
Qin Zhen glanced at him when she heard this, but did not answer.
Qiu Sixian said to himself, "Now that it is blocked again, the business of the teleportation array is even more difficult, and the money for maintenance has to be paid all the time, but the money received in the pocket has been decreasing...... It's a loss-making deal."
Qin Zhen took a sip of the tea in front of her, but still didn't answer.
"Don't be confused!" Qiu Sixian knocked the fan in his hand "crackle": "Tell me, it's such a small amount of money, I still have half of you, and now I have to let you live here, watching you take the money bag and dangle in front of me every day, I ......."
Cao Lingyan walked in from outside with a pile of ledgers, put the ledgers on the table in front of Qiu Sixian, and said angrily: "With this kung fu howling here, it is better to look at the ledger more. I used to help you see that you were busy, but now that you have time, you can watch it yourself!"
As he spoke, he pulled Qin Zhen up again: "Ignore him, let him stay here alone, let's go out and see the situation."
"Lingyan! How can you help outsiders deal with me!" Qiu Sixian was heartbroken.
Cao Lingyan glanced at him, took Qin Zhen's hand and went out, leaving Qiu Sixian alone to cry and look at the full pile of ledgers in front of him.
