Chapter 107: I Bet He Will Die in Liang Country (Two in One)
Originally, there weren't so many cultivators staying in this Xianyu Temple, and most of the people who settled and gathered here were mortals.
But after the eye-catching events such as the siege of the Martial Saint Pavilion last night, the sacrifice of human heads, and the appearance of the Dragon King, many cultivators came here to see what kind of scene Dongting Lake is like today, and what kind of person is Chen Kuang.
Or come to join in the fun, or take a mission to find out the news.
Therefore, today, the private rooms and pavilions of this Xianyu Nunnery are already full of practitioners with various purposes.
Now, when they heard the movement outside, they all poked their heads out, or simply walked out of the door, wanting to hear more detailed information.
When many people saw Chen Kuang being ranked fifteenth, their pupils suddenly shrank, and their expressions were different.
The first group of cultivators gathered were basically natives of Liang Guoji Shao County, and they were also familiar with each other, and after an uproar, they discussed Chen Kuang's deeds with relish.
There is a discussion of the cause and effect of the matter.
"I heard that this Chen Kuang seems to be a member of the Chen family at the South Wharf, and it was Fan Hailong who didn't know what to do and hit the Chen family with his idea, so he caused the disaster."
"The Chen family? Which one? β
"Nonsense, huh? The Chen family has a son and a daughter, all of whom have lived in Jishao County for ten years, and they have never heard of a son named Chen Kuang, does it matter if they are all surnamed Chen? β
"That's right, it was clearly the Martial Saint Pavilion who made a move, wanting to unite with local forces to hunt down and kill Chen Kuang, but it angered that Chen Kuang and was taken together!"
"If you want me to say, this Chen Kuang has really done a great thing! The entire Jishao County is strong and powerful, and the family forces seem to be planning to set up an ancestral hall for him! But alas, he probably won't show up......"
"Even if he shows up, is it possible that the Martial Saint Pavilion will dare to make another move?"
"Why don't you dare, the Martial Saint Pavilion is not a vegetarian, do you think they only have two Huyue Realm? This Chen Kuang is too bold, this time it is because of a small loss, if he is more cautious this time, he should have fled outside Jishao County, which is really unwise! β
"Look at what the waves said on this review, this time, it's a whole three moon realms! Two dead and one wounded, tsk, even if it is the Martial Saint Pavilion, it is a big loss! β
"This Chen Kuang's cultivation is really unfathomable...... I remember that some people said before that his actual cultivation was very low, and it was all thanks to Huo Hengxuan's secret technique blessing that he could kill Li Hongyan, and now, presumably no one dares to question it. β
"What secret technique can actually support people to kill the Moon Realm twice without exploding and dying, I directly cut off my head and stuffed it into the Gong bucket!"
As soon as the topic changed, it turned into discussing Chen Kuang's cultivation realm.
"Last time, I guessed that Chen Kuang was in the sea realm, I think I guessed conservatively, can this be the moon realm?"
"But didn't it change this time? I guess he did have other means, just not so exaggerated. β
"Indeed, if you kill the Moon Realm in the Sea Realm, Shen Xingzhu can also do it back then."
"Shhh...... In this way, he really has a trace of the momentum that Shen Xingzhu was born out of nowhere. β
"You say, is it possible for this Chen Kuang to become the second Shen Xingzhu?"
"No way! In this world, there is a Shen Xing candle that has already made the sun and the moon dull, and another one, so how can we be people? β
"Chen Kuang does have the ability, but not to mention that the Martial Saint Pavilion will not let him go, now that his whereabouts have been exposed, the people of the Great Zhou will also take action, not to mention that the Baoyue Realm who was killed by him is not an unknown person."
"The people who want to kill him have to queue up now...... Whether he can get out of Liang Country this time, I think it's all hanging! β
"However, if you kill three Moon Realms in a row, how can you only rank fifteenth? I think Chen Kuang deserves the top 10 position. β
"The two battles were rushed and not many people witnessed them, the intelligence was insufficient, and the comments were not easy to determine."
ββ¦β¦β
During the discussion, Chen Kuang was mixed, but most of them were pessimistic.
What a behemoth the Martial Saint Pavilion is, the cultivators couldn't be clearer, not to mention that Chen Kuang killed the Martial Saint True Inheritance, no matter how many people they dispatched, they would let Chen Kuang die here.
But there are also some who think that a genius like Chen Kuang must have the ability to turn things around.
It didn't take long for the quarrel to be red-faced, and it was impossible to get along, if it wasn't in the Xianyu Nunnery, for fear of offending the owner behind the Xianyu Nunnery, I'm afraid it would be a fight now.
ββAt the beginning, Chen Kuang dared to blatantly act on Fan Chuan, the son of Fan Hailong, and also relied on Qi Sibai to know the owner of this Xianyu Nunnery.
Obviously, even cultivators are very passionate about gossip.
Seeing this, the cultivator standing above hurriedly rolled up the scroll in his hand again, his eyes narrowed, he suddenly laughed, and said loudly:
"If this is the case, seeing that everyone has Yaxing today, it is better to set up a gambling game, and not bet on anything else, just bet on whether this Chen Kuang can leave Liang Country alive!"
"What do you think?"
The rest of the cultivators looked at each other and nodded suddenly, and one of the most noisy cultivators took two steps forward: "Okay, how do you bet?" β
The cultivator above said: "Let's ask the owner of this Xianyu Nunnery to make a notarization, and everyone will use any item in hand as a bargaining chip, valuate and bet, and win or lose at your own risk." β
Everyone happened to be really excited, and immediately took out the valuable objects in their hands.
A few of them had a high level of cultivation, and even took out a few Divine Spirit Treasures that were not too good in quality, which made the atmosphere even hotter.
And because there is the owner of Xianyuan as a notarization, they don't worry about someone getting in the way, and they run away after taking something.
Anyway, they still have to stay in Jishao County for a while, at least until the outcome of this gamble is out.
In the midst of the noise.
As the protagonist who has been mentioned the most times, Chen Kuang has already said goodbye to Lin Erren and quietly left Xianyu Nunnery.
One thing, at least these people are not wrong.
His whereabouts have been revealed.
Even if the Martial Saint Pavilion didn't make another move in a short period of time, Ji Chengtian would definitely not be able to hold his breath.
Especially the defeat of the Beiyuan defensive line, I am afraid that it will not make Ji Chengtian stop, but will make him more impatient......
Chen Kuang had to leave immediately.
Wuhua Forging could only hide his appearance in person, but he couldn't hide the calculation of the number of Qiankun techniques, and it was because his senior brother sent him directly to Dongting Lake that his whereabouts were not exposed.
Now that the location has been roughly determined, Chen Kuang and his party will soon be calculated as a specific location.
Therefore, the sooner you leave, the better.
It's just that I don't know if Senior Brother can still stop him this time......
β¦β¦
Soon after Chen Kuang left, the gambling game quickly dispersed.
The cultivator above was still shouting, telling the rest of the people to hurry up and place bets, and he was about to close the stall.
However, the rest of the people were very hesitant and entangled, after all, Chen Kuang's record looked really scary, but none of his enemies were good.
"Hey, what are you still hesitating about? It's just a matter of playing, and it's not a shame to press it wrong. β
The cultivator above sighed, and then said in a low voice: "However, in my opinion, this Chen Kuang is not simple, and the probability of escaping alive is greater. β
"That may not be the case."
A gentle and mellow voice with a little elegance suddenly sounded out of thin air.
The remaining cultivators were stunned and turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from.
The owner of the voice was a middle-aged man, he was wearing a long robe, his hair was tied up with a square scarf, and a wooden hairpin was inserted upright, the corners of his eyes drooped, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, looking a little mean, as if he would blurt out at any time, as if he was a sour and rotten Confucian student.
He seemed to have been standing there for a long time, but no one had noticed anything strange before.
The middle-aged man slowly stepped forward and put down a peach blossom on the right.
It's late autumn now, and where will the peach blossoms bloom.
But the peach blossom in his hand bloomed very well, big and beautiful, which made people happy to see it.
It's as if it has just been plucked from spring.
The cultivators looked at each other and felt that this person's cultivation should be good, but none of them knew who this person was.
But if Chen Kuang hadn't left at the moment, he would have been able to identify who this person was!
It was his acquaintance in the illusion - Senior Brother of Freedom Mountain, Zhang Zhizhou!
The cultivator above asked hesitantly, "This fellow Daoist...... Do you want to place a bet too? β
"Nature."
Zhang Zhizhou smiled slightly and tapped the paper he had laid out in front of him.
On the left is life, on the right is death.
The peach blossom was placed on the left by him.
"I bet he'll die in Liang."
He shook his head: "Chen Kuang can't escape from Liang State, or rather, he can't escape from Liang State alive." β
The cultivator was stunned, then pursed his lips, picked up the peach blossom angrily and said, "I just said well, you have to bet on something valuable, you just take a peach blossom, how to value it?!" β
Zhang Zhizhou was not angry, spread his hands and smiled: "Then pay me back, but the bet still has to be counted." β
The cultivator directly threw the peach blossom back into Zhang Zhizhou's hand, and when the others finished placing their bets, they rolled the things and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Zhang Zhizhou stood in place, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting in surprise:
"Senior brother?! How did you come here?! β
Zhang Zhizhou turned around, and sure enough, he saw Lin Eryou's figure standing in front of an attic.
Zhang Zhizhou immediately laughed and saluted: "Senior Brother Zishu, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Lin Eryou greeted him, returned the salute, and looked at the peach blossom in his hand suspiciously: "Senior brother, why is it holding the substitute dead wood?" β
Zhang Zhizhou sighed and said regretfully: "I originally encountered an interesting thing, and I wanted to help people avoid a death catastrophe, but I didn't expect the other side to appreciate it." β
With a shake of his hand, the peach blossom disappeared into his hand.
Zhou Yanwei looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some curiosity: "This is Zishu's senior brother?" β
Zhang Zhizhou glanced at Zhou Yanwei twice, nodded and said, "Pure heart, the junior brother chose really well." β
Zhou Yanwei was shocked.
This person actually took a look and knew the reason why Lin Eryou chose him.
This Senior Brother of Freedom Mountain, it's really not simple...... Not a so-called madman!
Lin Eryou said: "If it's not good, wouldn't it be worthy of the master's love for giving a comment himself?" β
Zhang Zhizhou laughed and said, "Naturally, the master's vision will definitely not be bad." β
He said mysteriously: "But this time, the candidate for junior brother is definitely not as good as mine!" β
Lin Eryou said helplessly: "What is it this time, chickens and toads can't work, is it possible that you are looking for it, senior brother...... Well, it can't be an oil thief, right? β
He tried to guess in the outrageous direction, otherwise he really couldn't think of what other creatures could be found better than chickens and toads with this senior brother's strange things.
This so-called "oil thief" is actually a cockroach......
Zhang Zhizhou shook his head solemnly: "Of course it can't be!" Your brother, am I such a casual person?! β
You are!
Lin Eryou slandered in his heart.
He was a little puzzled: "I heard that my senior brother went to the Liang State to enter the court as an official, how did I do, but now that the Liang State has fallen, the senior brother has escaped?" Finding someone on the road? β
Zhang Zhizhou scratched the back of his head, and the middle-aged man said with a bitter face:
"Don't mention it, I was originally doing well in Liang Kingdom, and I was able to find the person I wanted right away, but I was cut down by a reckless man halfway."
He was concerned: "If it weren't for my supernatural power for the dead wood, I would have almost died in the imperial city!" β
Lin Eryou twitched the corner of his mouth: "Which reckless man has such ability?" β
Because of the substitution of dead wood, his senior brother has countless peach wood stand-ins, and no one should know about his true cultivation except for the master, but Lin Eryou can't see through him anyway.
At this moment, Zhang Zhizhou's expression and tone did not seem to be fake, indicating that the person was only afraid that it was really beyond Zhang Zhizhou's expectations.
Lin Eryou sighed in his heart, in this troubled world, there are indeed many heroes, and there are surprising strong people everywhere who are suddenly born.
Chen Kuang is not the only one......
Zhang Zhizhou said: "You also know this person, surnamed Chen Mingkuang." β
Lin Eryou: "......"
Good guy, it's still this guy going around and around!
How many people did he offend along the way?!
Lin Eryou and Zhou Yanwei glanced at each other, their faces twitched, and Lin Eryou said, "What, how did this person make an enmity with his senior brother?" β
Zhang Zhizhou shook his head and said, "It's not that there is a grudge, it should be my fault." β
"Alas...... It's a long story. β
Although he said this, he immediately kept silent, and seemed unwilling to talk about the past.
Lin Eryou always felt in his heart that this senior brother had entered the Liang State so early, and maybe it had something to do with the destruction of the Liang State, so he said tentatively:
"Speaking of which, how did Senior Brother think of going to Liang State to be an official? The corruption of the officialdom of Liang State is almost well known, and the senior brother is not like he is going to get oil and water. β
Zhang Zhizhou was stunned and said, "Didn't I say it?" β
He narrowed his eyes and said, "I suddenly wanted to go to Liang Country because I had a dream that day. β
The middle-aged man's tone was leisurely: "I dreamed that there was a head that said that the destiny of heaven was in Liang. β
"There will be a person who, with the mandate of heaven, will leave the imperial city."
β¦β¦
In the hall of the Chen Mansion.
Everyone in the Chen family gathered again, and this time, Chen Kuang was also there.
In addition, there was also Pei Xiu, a member of the second class of the Tu Zhengguan, who was standing behind Chen Kuang with his head bowed.
At present, in Jishao County, the Tuzheng officials are all following Pei Xiu's orders.
Chen Kuang looked at Chen An and said, "From today on, Pei Xiu will assist you to gain a firm foothold in the Cao Gang and become the next gang leader of the Cao Gang." β
