The inner courtyard of Qi Jianglun House.

The bright moonlight shone through the jagged branches, mottled and crumpled in the yard, and a small insect was stepped on by someone for some reason, and the green juice exploded on the ground.

In the gazebo on one side of the courtyard, one person stood with his hands in his hands, and the other stood respectfully on one side.

If Chen Ping was here, he would naturally recognize these two people.

One is Qi Jianglun.

One is an eagle-eyed Taoist friend, Situ Shan.

"Master, I went to test Zhang Zheng again today, and that talisman skin really couldn't have been made by him." Situ Shan bowed down and reported.

Qi Jianglun glanced at this apprentice lightly:

"What do you mean by that?"

Situ Shan said truthfully:

"The apprentice used Master, your old man's Proud Heartbell, under the influence of the Proud Heartbell, it is impossible for Zhang Zheng to hide anything when guiding me. Master, as you know, under the influence of the Heart Bell, monks below the middle stage of Qi cultivation will lose their hearts and unconsciously expand their arrogant hearts. But the insights that Zhang Zheng said are really very simple. ”

Qi Jianglun said 'um':

"Has the talisman skin made by Zhang Zheng been checked?"

"Naturally, the apprentice has checked." Situ Shan said respectfully:

"Except for those two, the other talismans are not worth mentioning. But those two, no matter how the disciples talked, Zhang Zheng claimed to have made them himself. But I don't think he's likely to be able to do that, even if it's an occasional get. ”

Qi Jianglun couldn't help frowning, and said impatiently:

"That's all?"

"Do you know that several of the skills contained in those two talisman skins are exclusively mastered by this master, and must be the work of an apprentice. If a few people have mastered it, can it still be called an exclusive skill? Once this skill flows out, how will this master make money in the future? ”

He still had a sentence left unuttered - "How can the safety of Master Ben be guaranteed?" ”。 Back then, he made his debut after learning exclusive skills and became famous. Over the years, on the one hand, he has to use exclusive skills as a gimmick to recruit apprentices, and on the other hand, he has to beware of apprentices learning all the exclusive skills. It's good to learn a little, but it's bad to learn everything. Not to mention making money, what if you kill a teacher.

Situ Shan said nervously:

"Yes, yes, Master's words are reasonable. The apprentice will check on the others. ”

"There's one more thing to report."

"Say."

Situ Shan wiped his sweat and said softly: "When I visited Zhang Zheng today, I happened to meet Chen Ping who also went to visit Zhang Zheng, and they had a lot of private contacts. ”

Qi Jianglun paused for a moment:

"Chen Ping? … Who is it? ”

"Master, do you remember one episode where a kid kept pestering you to ask questions? It's him, the monk who cultivates Qi at the first level. ”

At this mention, Qi Jianglun remembered it.

He was still very impressed by Chen Ping's behavior, but he couldn't remember the name.

But he remembered that this kid had a low cultivation level and poor qualifications, and although he was studious, he was a mess when he finished his course, unlike a person who could have great achievements.

"I remember that you were the first to exclude this person, saying that there was no need to track him down." Qi Jianglun's expression turned cold.

Situ Shan couldn't help but shudder.

It was indeed he who proposed it at the beginning, because no matter how you look at it, Chen Ping doesn't look like the right person, and it can be directly ruled out.

So during this time, I contacted many people through various ways, but I didn't contact Chen Ping.

"Yes, it was a futile opinion. It's just that today, he appeared in Zhang Zheng's house, and Zhang Zheng's two talisman skins are unknown, so he can't help but have more suspicions. ”

In Zhang Zhengjia, the apprentice once tentatively wanted to set a set of Chen Ping's opinions. But he may have been under the influence of the heartbell for too short a time to lose his mind. deliberately rejected the apprentice's discussion of skills. Situ Shan said tremblingly.

In front of Qi Jianglun, his eagle eyes were not sharp at all, and his whole person was like a frosted eagle.

Qi Jianglun looked up at Yingyue and said in a deep voice:

"Chen Ping is not worth mentioning, he doesn't have that ability. It's okay to keep an eye on you, but be careful. This matter should be investigated as soon as possible, and the students should also be recruited quickly, there are fewer spirit stones for this month, and the cave master is very dissatisfied. ”

Situ Shan nodded in agreement:

"The apprentice knows that the apprentice has already let many people praise the master's skills outside. On Chen Ping's side, the apprentice would stare at him cautiously. It's just that today I knocked on the side next to Zhang Zheng's place, and that kid lives next to Yu Qingyi's house..."

Before the words fell, Qi Jianglun suddenly turned his head and looked at Situ Shan coldly:

"Adjacent to Yu Qingyi?"

"Yes, that kid would have chosen a house."

"Do not come to your door and tempt him. Whether it is the Aura Heart Bell or the other magic weapon, it all bears the mark of the cave master, in case Yu Qingyi is aware of it and knows that you and I are colluding with the demon cultivator, then you and I will really die without a place to be buried. Qi Jianglun kept pacing, without the calmness he had just now.

But he suddenly thought, why did he have to test Chen Ping?

Can that kid learn my housekeeping skills?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Thinking about it like this, Qi Jianglun suddenly calmed down, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if Chen Ping stares at it or not, you must not rush in, but you must not come to the door to test it." Instead of testing Chen Ping, it is better to stare at the Fang market more. Most of the talisman skins that flowed into Fang City some time ago and the talisman skins in Zhang Zheng's hands came from the same person. ”

"I understand." Situ Shan lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes.

At the same time, I thought in my heart that Chen Ping might not be as simple as Master imagined... Situ Shan narrowed his eyes, and didn't come back to his senses until Qi Jianglun's voice remembered again.

"During this time, be a little excited, don't show your feet, you can't use those two magic weapons. Lianyun City is about to have a big event, let's just watch the excitement. At this time, you must not make trouble for the cave master, otherwise I will not want to live. Qi Jianglun snorted.

"Yes."

"Let's go down."

Situ Shan did not leave.

"Anything else?"

Situ Shan cautiously looked up at Qi Jianglun:

"Master..."

Qi Jianglun glanced at Situ Shan dissatisfied, and reluctantly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Situ Shan.

"Save some food, the cave master didn't give me much."

"Yes, yes."

"Thank you, Master."

……

"Oh, oh, oh..."

When the pheasant cried out to light up the white belly of the fish in the sky, Chen Ping had already completed an hour's cultivation.

He has become accustomed to waking up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the chickens.

Go out into the yard to move your muscles and bones and breathe in the fresh morning air.

"Chen Daoyou, this is a round of cultivation?" Yu Qingyi, who was next door, saw Chen Ping come out, and saw that Chen Ping looked like he had just cultivated, and he was refreshed.

"Senior, it's early." Chen Ping said hello and said, "There is a saying that early birds have worms." The younger generation can only fly first. ”

Yu Qingyi was slightly flustered, pondered for a while, and thought to himself, this kid is a scholar, these words have some truth.

He silently wrote it down.

Laughed:

"It's good that you kid can have this kind of heart."

After saying that, I thought of my granddaughter again.

If this girl puts a little more effort into her cultivation, she won't be so worried.

Thinking of this, he didn't even have the heart to chat with Chen Ping.

A moment later.

Chen Ping, who was cultivating in the house, heard a complaining voice coming from the courtyard next door.

"Grandpa, why did you wake up Lingchun so early to practice? It's not even dawn yet? ”

"Not bright yet? There is a saying, what is it, the early worm has birds to eat. Don't you see that the sky is all overcast? ”

Yu Lingchun felt confused.

What are you talking about?

And also.

Obviously, he has been diligent enough during this time, but his grandfather is still not satisfied.

Really...
