Chapter 44: Befriending Ling Huisi
When Chen Cheng entered the Yi Mansion again, he climbed the wall to enter.
Really use climbing, hand and foot with that kind of use. He had only realized it for three days before, and it was already good to realize the sword intent. I really didn't realize this light skill at all.
He can't be blamed entirely either. In addition to the short time, because he was in the cabin at the time, the white ape had no space to jump, so he didn't have the opportunity to realize light skills.
So although he is physically dexterous, he can be said to be as light as a swallow when he exercises. But after all, he didn't master the light skill of jumping up to a nearly one-foot [4.5-meter] high wall in one step. So I had to jump up, then grab the edge of the wall and climb over it.
After hearing Sang Sanniang say that the Sun and Moon God Church had attacked Yi Ji, he still decided to come back to save people. After all, in his mind, this superstitious person is still quite good.
He arranged for Ma Chunhua and Qu Feiyan to go to the Po Inn to stay and hide for a while. It's remote enough that no one will notice. He is trying to find a way to infiltrate the Yi Mansion.
The reason why I didn't go straight to the main entrance to enter. It's because Sang Sanniang said that Yi Zhai has their internal response. He didn't want to be discovered by these people of the Sun and Moon God Cult.
It's also a shame that today is the third day of the birthday banquet, and everyone's attention is ahead. Otherwise, with his clumsy circumvention model, it is really difficult not to be discovered.
As a well-known swordsman in the rivers and lakes, he has light skills that do not match his fame and martial arts.
After landing, he cautiously dived towards Yi Ji's study. Thanks to the fact that he had stayed here for two nights, he was still familiar with the interior layout.
Wait for him to sneak outside the study and look through the window. I saw that inside was the same as the day before, Yi Ji was still standing on the upper seat, and the friends below were changed. I don't know if it's because Yang Bin made Yi Ji unhappy, the three people of Wei Tuomen are not among them.
Although Chen Cheng doesn't know how to do light work, his light body kung fu is also good, and when he is hidden, he doesn't feel that there is a natural demeanor of Taoism. The people inside were unaware of his existence because of this.
He was not prepared to rush in, because he told Yi Ji that someone was going to kill the other party, and Yi Ji might not believe it, but might startle the snake. He was going to take a look at the situation first.
At this time, an old man with a clear face inside said, "Teacher Yi." Your name is Yiji. Yi is the meaning of easy, and auspicious means auspicious and auspicious. Then it is easy to be auspicious together, which is a good omen. However, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses. Originally, auspiciousness is already a person's blessing, but if it is still easy to be auspicious, it will pass. β
Yi Ji bowed slightly: "Makes sense." β
Then the old man said, "In order for a man to live well, it is better not to carry too many blessings beyond his destiny." Therefore, it is best to find a name that can be slightly neutralized as a close friend. β
Yi Ji just hummed and didn't say anything. Chen Cheng outside the house couldn't help but laugh. It seems that the topic is coming, and the point of such a statement is to say a name and let Yi Ji make friends.
Combined with his experience in the previous two days, he thought that the name must be "Zhang Zheng". Zhang Zheng arranged for Chen Cheng to calculate a hexagram for Yi Ji every day, if Chen Cheng hadn't been exposed to his identity and left yesterday, I think that today's words would be Chen Cheng's words for Yi Ji.
The old man said: "To be a man, you must think of danger, think of retreat, and think of change." Therefore, the person whose name contains these three words must be Mr. Yi's natural nobleman, and he will definitely be able to eliminate superfluous blessings for Mr. Yi. According to the old man's test, there are already such people who have appeared next to Mr. Yi. β
Chen Cheng was not stunned when he heard this. This doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Zhang Zheng. Could it be that he guessed wrong, this old man was not found by Zhang Zheng?
Inside, Yi Ji was also deep in thought, and whispered to Zhang Zheng: "Do I know a person whose name is Siwei, Si Retreat, and Si Change?" β
Zhang Zheng laughed: "Is the old gentleman sure?" I don't think my senior brother knows anything about Zhang Siwei and Li Sibian. β
The old man chuckled and said, "The old man just said that there is such a person, and as for who it is, the old man doesn't know." β
Chen Cheng bowed his head, this is a typical desire to capture and indulge. If the old man directly said the name of this person, Yi Ji's degree of belief would definitely be reduced. But if Yi Ji guessed it himself, he would definitely believe it much more.
He also thought that Zhang Siwei and Li Sibian, whom Zhang Zheng exemplified, did not mention retreat. Could it be that the name is related to thinking about retreat? In this way, Zhang Zheng also accepted money from a person named "Si Hui" to be a lobbyist, not himself.
Sure enough, Yi Ji thought for a while, and suddenly said: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, did someone from the Jingzhou prefect come to visit?" He said what was the name of their prefect? β
Zhang Zheng was stunned: "Ling what?" Oh, Ling Huisi...... He didn't think about danger or retreat......"
Yi Ji nodded: "Sure enough, it's him." Thinking back and thinking back are the same thing. β
Zhang Zheng also laughed: "It turned out to be that person." The man was also about to tell Yi Yi about Ling Weisi's daughter. Speaking of which, it would be good for Yi Yi to climb to such a family affair at that time, it was the prefect of Jingzhou. β
Chen Cheng thought to himself, this Yi Yi is most likely Yi Ji's son.
Yi Ji waved his hand: "Don't mention this matter again." I heard that his daughter had a sweetheart, and she would rather die than marry, and she was even disfigured. β
Zhang Zheng snorted, and after a while, he seemed to think of something: "If you can't get married, you can make friends." β
Yi Ji didn't answer, said something else, and let everyone disperse, leaving only his two brothers. After Chen Cheng avoided everyone, he lurked back again.
I only heard Yi Ji say inside: "How can you say that this person's statement is so similar to that of the thief named Chen Cheng, I don't think it can be believed now." Besides, even Zhou Yi is useless in his statement, how do you know if it is reliable? β
Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why he got a bounty of one hundred taels yesterday, and he became a thief today.
Thinking about it again, it seems that Yi Ji does believe in Zhou Yi more. Then thinking of his own words yesterday made Zhang Zheng smile, obviously because it just echoed today's words. It's just that there is something wrong with his identity, and even today's words make Yi Ji suspicious.
Zhang Zheng said: "Senior brother, although Chen Cheng is hateful, he does have some ability in divination. β
Yi Ji just waved his hand: "I'll think about it again." β
Zhang Zheng shook his head and withdrew, and Chen Cheng naturally hid in the dark again. He wanted to avoid Zhang Zheng as he did just now, and then sneaked in to meet Yi Ji alone and explain the reason.
saw a woman in a black shirt with a yellow belt around her waist coming out and signaling to Zhang Zheng. Zhang Zheng looked around a little nervously, and only walked straight after confirming that there was no one.
Chen Cheng's eyes condensed slightly, blooming with fine light, and he also hid his figure and followed. This woman's dress is exactly the same as the dead Sang Sanniang, and she is also a person in the Sun and Moon God Sect.
So is it Zhang Zheng who colluded with the Divine Sect to kill Yi Ji? So why did he do this whole fortune-telling? So who is Ling Huisi? Yes, I just mentioned that it is the prefect of Jingzhou.
At that time, Chen Cheng asked Sang Sanniang if it was collusion between the dog government and the government, and he wanted to deceive the other party. But the other party immediately admitted that he was afraid that it was not the Jin Imperial Court that he was talking about, but this Ling Huisi.
Following the two to a side room, they heard the goddess woman say, "You have spent so much effort, but have you ever persuaded Yi Ji?" His voice was flirtatious and full of sarcasm, obviously thinking that his ideas were extremely unreliable.
Zhang Zheng whispered, "I can convince Senior Brother." β
The woman sneered again: "Elder Sang said when he left, today is the deadline. If your method doesn't work, you have to use ours. β
Zhang Zheng was obviously quite scared, and whispered, "Please let the Holy Sect let my senior brother go." β
The woman snorted and didn't say much.
Zhang Zheng lowered his head and his expression was still unbearable, so he knelt down towards the woman: "Let me think of another way." Yesterday, that method almost succeeded, but unfortunately I didn't expect that person to be Chen Cheng. β
The woman's face changed: "Don't mention in front of Elder Sang that we have seen Chen Cheng." Don't you want to take revenge on Shi Potian of the Changle Gang? As long as you do this, we will solve the stone for you. β
As soon as Chen Cheng heard it, he knew that this woman was looking for him because he knew that Sang Sanniang was looking for him. If it was known that Chen Cheng had been under her nose for two days, she was afraid that she would have to enjoy some of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect's torture methods.
That's why she immediately threw out a tempting suggestion to buy Zhang Zheng. It's just that she didn't know that Sang Sanniang had known about this for a long time, and she didn't know that Sang Sanniang would never come to trouble her again.
Zhang Zheng's face was cloudy, and after a while, he said, "Okay." You speak your word and speak for my daughter's anger. β
Chen Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of essence. Now follow him to see Yi Ji, and if you think about it, you won't have no basis for it.
