Chapter 31: The Farmer and the Serpent
After listening to the information brought by the Great Elder, Qinghui was already panicked, but he had to maintain dignity in front of Chong Xu.
As soon as Chong Xuan left, he walked around the house in a panic, and his heart was terrified.
If there is no evidence, no one will attack him, even if anyone suspects him.
But once the spirit stone is found and his secret is exposed, when the time comes, death may still be the best outcome.
In the world of cultivating immortals, even if they are famous and decent, they can have many means to make a person's life worse than death.
The sect has always been the most disgusted with traitors, and they will use the most vicious means to deal with traitors, so as to warn others.
Qinghui seemed to see his own end, and after being humiliated in every way, he abolished his cultivation and became a slave in the Sword Sect.
It is impossible to die, and the Sword Sect will not use the death penalty, but his fate will definitely be worse than death.
"No, I still have a chance."
Qinghui was unwilling, and subconsciously thought of a remedy.
Shishui is a large river, seven or eight hundred miles long and twenty or thirty miles wide, and it is not so easy to explore the place where he hides the treasure.
As long as he transferred the spirit stone in advance before Zhang Chi found it, Zhang Chi would not be able to catch him, and he would be able to fight back at that time.
It only took three days, and under pressure, Zhang Chi had to withdraw from the investigation and think about it behind closed doors.
The more Qinghui thought about it, the more he felt that this was his only chance, but he didn't know that it was a trap specifically for him.
And Zhang Chi, who set a trap, pretended to touch the fish for another day, and hid in the house to practice all day in the name of auditing the account books.
That's the joy of doing private work during working hours.
Seeing that the true qi in his body was a little more vigorous, Zhang Chi's heart was also steady.
In this world, strength is the real foundation of life, without strength, you can only find a way to rely on the strong, bow low and be small, and even sell hue and pretend to be cute.
Although he can save his life, Zhang Chi still prefers to be strong.
For example, in front of Tang Ruoling, he was unscrupulous, and he bullied her as much as he wanted.
On the contrary, in front of Jiang Qingyun, although it was interesting to tease the simple master, he was wearing a mask after all, and if he could bully Jiang Qingyun like he bullied Tang Ruoling, he would definitely be even more excited.
Bone Shadow: "......"
What kind of sin did your master create to meet such a rebel as you?
The time of the day passed quickly, and when the sun set, Zhang Chi planned to call the people who went into the water to fish for stones, but anyway, he pretended to be and couldn't let them work overtime.
Besides, if they really dig it up, they will be a little embarrassed.
Others don't know, but he knows it very well, so he deliberately let people avoid that section when digging for stones.
With the exploration speed of the disciples in the foundation building period, they will definitely not be able to dig that piece today.
But working overtime is not necessarily the case.
Zhang Chi went out and happened to meet Zhou You.
The two said hello, and Zhou You asked seemingly casually, "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to call them back."
"It's my job, I'll just go."
Zhou Yu is looking for a reason for himself.
The reason why he appeared here was because he received a message from his father.
Chong Xuan asked him to find a way to secretly destroy the account books and erase the evidence of Elder Qinghui's crimes, and in the future, Qinghui would be on their side.
At the same time, they can also take this opportunity to suppress Zhang Chi and the head of the family.
Zhou You was also shocked when he received the letter, he thought that Zhang Chi had told him and the Great Elder about the plan without any defense for the sake of the Sword Sect.
And now, his father asked him to take advantage of this, subduing Qinghui and suppressing the head of the family at the same time.
If you think about it, if the head is suppressed, he will definitely anger Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi's life will not be easy at that time.
Zhang Chi didn't have much power in the first place, he was an orphan, he was adopted by the Sword Sect, and he was accepted as a disciple because he was valued by the head of the family.
Without the support of the boss, he is nothing.
And making the boss disgusted with Zhang Chi is also part of the plan.
Chong Xuan felt that Zhang Chi still had some ability, and wanted to win over and do things for the Zhou family.
Therefore, he had to destroy everything Zhang Chi had before he could surrender.
After reading the letters, I felt very uncomfortable.
Zhang Chi was honest with him, took the initiative to give up the opportunity to make meritorious service, and stuffed the credit into his hands.
But he took advantage of Zhang Chi's trust in his fellow disciples to do things that hurt him, is this appropriate?
Zhou You couldn't bear it, and he couldn't disobey his father, so he had to find a way to stop Zhang Chi from leaving.
Zhang Chi said: "It's better for me to go, I've been busy for a day and I haven't found anything, the uncles have some complaints, the hall master, you will have to lead them in the future, if you damage the majesty, it will be inconvenient."
I'm just a hairy boy, and my uncles won't bother with me. ”
Hearing Zhang Chi's statement, Zhou You was even more moved.
He really ......
There are such people in the world!
Zhou You was so moved that he wanted to cry, but looking at his departing back and his unguarded residence, Zhou You was still ruthless.
"I'm sorry, let's just teach you a lesson, it's too easy to trust others, and it won't end well!"
In the morning, Zhang Chi's words for the common honor of the Sword Sect really moved Zhou You.
But Chong's false letter brought him back to reality.
They did have to think about the Sword Sect, but they also had to think about themselves.
Now, if you can not lose the interests of the Sword Sect, but also allow yourself to reap the benefits, only Zhang Chi and the head of the sect will be damaged, and this is the best result.
Zhou You sneaked into Zhang Chi's house, casually punched out a fire talisman, landed on the desk, and then left in a hurry.
On the other side, Zhang Chi called the stone diggers ashore one by one, and they really complained.
Zhang Chi has a lot of prestige among ordinary disciples, but here among the disciples in the foundation building period, it is nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the head disciple, these people wouldn't have listened to him.
After calling everyone ashore, they saw smoke rising from behind.
"It's out of the water! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
After shouting, the personnel soon gathered at the scene of the fire.
Zhang Chi looked at the smoke in the distance and couldn't help laughing.
This is the world of cultivating immortals, and the story of the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf is staged almost every day.
If you want not to be harmed by bad people, you can only be more ruthless and worse than them.
Seeing this smoke, Zhang Chi knew that the plan had been completed.
A group of disciples in the foundation building period cast a water resistance spell, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
Setting fire to an immortal cultivator could not hurt the immortal cultivators, but all the ledgers in the room were reduced to ashes.
Zhang Chi pretended to be panicked and said, "What can I do about this?" The evidence is gone. ”
At this time, Zhou You was late, and with a look of surprise on his face, he asked, "Okay, why is it on fire?" Also, Zhang Chi, how can you put the ledger in your own room and be so careless.
I'm afraid that someone deliberately set this fire, but the ledger has been destroyed, and it's useless to catch someone! ”
Zhou You's backstab quickly focused the attention of others on Zhang Chi.
Everyone was already quite dissatisfied with his blind command, but now that he has lost important evidence, it naturally makes people even more disgusted.
This disgusted look was the same as when the disciples outside the Jianghe Hall looked at Zhou Ran.
Seeing this, Zhou You felt a little sympathy in his heart, but more of it was refreshing.
Son, your revenge, Daddy avenged you!
