The snowflakes flying outside the window are getting bigger and bigger, and the first snow in the early winter in Yuzhou is so big, which seems to indicate that there will be a very cold winter this year.

In the living room of the Nangong Courtyard, it was a warm scene like spring. The copper pipes buried in the ground transmit the heat from the distant greenhouse to the room day and night, and several broad-leaved potted plants unique to the south are in full bloom, without the slightest hint of winter, and even the few maids who shuttle to deliver wine and food are wearing only a few thin gauze clothes.

The dishes at the banquet looked a little simple and light, because several important guests at the banquet were monks, but even the most picky gourmets did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction with those seemingly simple dishes, even the simplest stir-fried cabbage, it was also a thousand selected ingredients, after dozens of processes carefully prepared by several chefs before being served here. Even the imperial banquet in the imperial city may not be so exquisite.

Wu Jinming is a person who can eat and likes to eat very much, in the past few years when he was the helmsman of Yuzhou, he has eaten all the delicious things that can be eaten in Yuzhou, and the armor on his body has also changed from medium to large and then to a special plus size, and now sitting there looks like a piece of furniture in a dazzling eye. But in the face of the exquisite food in front of him, he didn't dare to move his chopsticks, not because he didn't want to eat, but because several guests at the wine table were more rare than this table.

The Chongxu of the Zhenwu Sect, the two Taoist masters of Xuanxu, and the abbot of the Songshan Annexary of the Pure Land Zen Temple, Aoki Zen Master, are all the leaders of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism in Yuzhou, and they are also the most difficult people to invite. At other times, it would be a little difficult for Wu Jinming to see these three sides. The people of the Shenji Hall have always been not very popular with the masters of the rivers and lakes. Especially this kind of well-respected and respected old man has a deep hatred for tricks and other means, not to mention the merchant style of Shenjitang who can do things if he has money. Only in the face of the current Nangong family can I have the opportunity to sit at the same table with them. Therefore, Wu Jinming must wake up all his spirits.

The hosts of the banquet, He Xi'er and Nangong Tong, were toasting and thanking everyone in the banquet. Although these two people are young, the leisurely and confident bearing of the children of the family in their speech and demeanor, and the decent expression make people unable to find the slightest flaw, which Wu Jinming can't learn no matter what, although he has also seen a lot of the world, and there are countless people who have dealt with him. But the philistine smell and smoothness soaked into his bones can even be smelled by himself. So he doesn't just speak, just listens and waits.

"Ji'er established this righteous path alliance. It also wants to unite the young and promising young people between the various factions to contribute to the Central Plains. I hope that all of you will support you."

"Miss He can have such a state of mind and ambition, she really deserves to be a tall foot in Maoshan Mountain, and the women don't let Master He Tianshi have a woman like this, and she should be proud. Huh"

"Where, where. The seniors praised it falsely. It's just that now the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains are in chaos, and people can't help but sigh."

While listening carefully, Wu Jinming couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart. These children of the family have nothing to do to get a righteous alliance to come out to play, and what they say about helping justice and killing demons and eliminating demons is even better than what they sing on the stage, but if it weren't for the fact that the Nangong family was really rich and powerful, and if it wasn't for the fact that they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to support it, it wouldn't even be a farce. Did they really think that some of these people here were really sitting here for some righteous justice? Shenjitang helped establish the Righteous Path Alliance, and spent a lot of money and thought, but it was nothing else. is such an opportunity to show himself to these big families and famous families, and it is already an achievement for him to sit here. It's a pity that after listening to it for a while, He Xi'er and Nangong Tong were all polite words that seemed gorgeous and leaky, but in essence had no meaning, and there were no substantive questions worthy of his intervention, and he couldn't help but yawn.

"Inviting all of you seniors to the banquet today, in addition to showing you the determination of my Righteous Path Alliance and thanking you for your strong support, there is another important thing to tell you that I don't know if you seniors know about the Qingzhou Luoshui Gang a few months ago?"

Fortunately, at this time, He Xi'er's topic and tone changed, and Wu Jinming subconsciously felt that something weighty was about to come out, and his spirits suddenly perked up.

"Do you mean the man and woman who killed dozens of lives of the Luoshui Gang, even the angry monk of the Pure Land Monastery, and finally mysteriously escaped without a trace?" asked a thin old man about sixty years old during the banquet. He was dressed in old gray clothes, his left arm was broken at the shoulder, leaving only an empty sleeve hanging there, and he sat like a beggar, which was very incongruous with the softness and delicacy of this living room.

"Yes. But it's not. He Ji'er smiled slightly, nodded, and then shook her head again. "That's exactly what Ji'er said, but the truth of this matter is not as simple as the Naluoshui Gang said. ”

"Oh, did Miss He have any special news?" asked Zen Master Aoki. The fact that a Dharma Protector Vajra has passed away is the biggest setback that the Pure Land Monastery has suffered in recent years, and he can't help but care about it.

"Indeed, Ji'er only learned some of the truth today. He Xi'er smiled: "I don't know, let's ask those two to explain it to the seniors in person." ”

###

"Amitabha, I didn't expect the truth to be like this, it's a pity that the anger extinguishing junior brother has a magical power, but he also died under the conspiracy of Xiaoxiao's organs," Zen Master Aoki shook his head and sighed.

Wu Jinming, who was on the other side of the table, was already sweating profusely, and he didn't know where the flying knife had gone because he was bored and sleepy before, because this young man was the person from his Shenji Hall, and the plot was also from the mechanism of his Shenji Hall. He was tempted to defend himself loudly, or to question what the truth was for, but he knew that it was not his turn to speak first, and he himself vaguely understood that this was really the usual style of the Divine Machine Hall.

Fortunately, someone still spoke, and the one-armed old man in old clothes glanced at the young man who was new to the scene, and asked in a dumb voice, "But now everyone is dead." I don't have any real evidence left, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to conclude just on the words of the two of you? I don't know if it's really as rumored in the rivers and lakes, it was the two of you who hooked up and became an adulterer. Inside and outside, seeking money and killing people, or something?"

As soon as the old man's words came out, He Xi'er's face suddenly became a little ugly, but in the blink of an eye, he recovered as before, and said with a smile: "This old man Xu of the Diancang faction is famous for being open-mouthed and doing whatever he wants, and he also asks the head of Qingfeng Dao." Miss Mingyue should not be surprised. ”

Listening to this Dao that fell on his head inexplicably, Xiao Xia felt very unaccustomed to it anyway, and he touched his nose. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Where is it, what Old Man Xu said is the truth." In fact, the two of us really can't come up with any evidence, but the dozens of lives are real. It's inevitable that others will think so."

Mingyue on the side looked at the old man and smiled: "This old man is very funny." ”

Zen Master Aoki shook his head. The mouth of the Buddha said, "Amitabha." Other poor monks don't dare to guarantee it, but this Mingyue girl's cultivation is undoubted, it is indeed my Buddhist supernatural power, to say that she is the first poor monk who kills innocents indiscriminately. Moreover, my Pure Land Zen Monastery has already sent someone to Qingzhou to check, and what Qingfeng Daoist said is also closely related to the situation left at the scene. ”

"Do you know that it's not a ** truth, a lie or two in the key points?" the old man surnamed Xu snorted and said rather disapprovingly. "That female doll is okay, I also know that the Pure Land Buddhism is the most important point of practice, and the supernatural power is the outward release of the cultivation mind. There is no fake. But the kid was clearly a very slick character, and all the masters who were much better than him were dead. You can tell that he survived unharmed. The most strange thing is why didn't you take the initiative to stand up and explain the truth to the Luoshui Gang at that time, but you had to wait until this time to come to Yuzhou?"

Xiao Xia still smiled wryly. This old man is not wrong, he really just said most of the truth, the key lies of the truth.

With the temptation of 100,000 taels of gold, every inch of land in the black wood forest in Qingzhou has been carefully explored by many people, and there is definitely no shortage of masters who trace and recognize the traces, and it is very dangerous to tell lies in those processes, so what Xiao Xia sued He Ji'er before, what he said here is basically the truth. How they besieged Mingyue, how they used the Qiantian Lock Demon Talisman to restrain Mingyue, how everyone got lost in the woods, Hu Qian designed to poison Gu, and the Yunzhou Han gradually demonized, until he finally turned his face and made a move, etc., all of which were told in great detail.

It's just that on the most fundamental point, Xiao Xia told a lie that was not a lie, that is, the young gang leader of the Luoshui Gang and those victims in Luoshui City were skinned and tortured by the remnants of an animal that was killed by those people twenty years ago, and it was nourished in the remains of the black wood tree demon for twenty years, and the huge demon power of the black wood tree demon became a demon spirit, so he came out to take revenge.

Of course, Miss Mingyue has nothing to do with this demon spirit. And as the descendant of a hermit monk, she had already felt the incomparable resentment of this demon spirit before rushing to the black woods, and happened to see the demon spirit torture and kill the Bai Shao gang leader. And unfortunately, she had just arrived at the demon spirit degree, and the masters of the Luoshui Gang arrived, and seeing the corpse of the young gang leader, the grief-stricken Zeng Lao Protector couldn't help but lead everyone to rush up, and Mingyue was also forced to fight back. That's what led to this tragedy.

Although the angry monk who was with the Luoshui gang also saw Mingyue's Buddhist magic in the fight and was suspicious, but the battle was already a life-and-death struggle, so she couldn't hesitate at all, and after the Qiantian Lock Demon Talisman sealed Mingyue, she was already unconscious and couldn't speak. The angry monk wanted to take her back to the Pure Land Monastery to inquire about it carefully, and Hu Qian, who had already harbored a ghost, disagreed, and planted the seedlings of later infighting.

Strictly speaking, this lie is still a little flawed, the angry monk's vision, reactions and thoughts, etc., can also be modified and covered up in details, the biggest flaw is that Miss Mingyue is really not an acting and lying person, even if Xiao Xia has taught her many times along the way, she always can't say it well, not to be awkward, or just angry and angry and don't say anything. In the end, Xiao Xia had to ask her to say as little as possible, or simply said that she couldn't remember clearly on some issues, and he would make up for it.

Fortunately, this lie doesn't need to be too tight. For while it is true that there is no evidence that this is the case, there is also no evidence that it is not. As for how the Luoshui Gang knew the faces of the two of them, Xiao Xia knew that he couldn't get out of it with the mysterious person in the sedan chair after a little thought. That's more daring to see the light than what he and Mingyue did, so he wasn't afraid at all.

And now the old man's doubts are also expected by Xiao Xia. He replied unhurriedly: "At that time, Miss Mingyue and I were soft-spoken, who could trust what they said? That's why I and Miss Mingyue temporarily avoided the limelight, and planned to take a detour from Jizhou to Yuzhou to ask Fairy He to administer justice for us. ”

"Yes. They are all unfounded, and whoever has more weight will be more trustworthy in what he says. For example, now that Aoki monk says that this girl will not be a murderer, then the Luoshui Gang will say that she is a murderer, and it will become a fart. The old man surnamed Xu nodded and made a clear look. "Although this He Xiaoniu is young, the Maoshan and Nangong families behind her have weight, and your kid is really smooth enough. Knowing to hug her thighs. ”

He Xi'er's face finally couldn't help but flush with a flush of shame, and she glanced at Nangong Tong next to her hatefully, secretly wondering how this cousin could find such an open-mouthed guest. Nangong Tong's face was also slightly embarrassed. But it's hard to say anything.

As for the other people in the banquet, none of them spoke, especially the two elders of the True Martial Sect. The True Martial Sect is a member of the Inner Dan Sect in the world, and the qi cultivation skills of these two elders have undoubtedly reached the extreme, and the expression on their faces has always been a light and pleasant smile. It seems to be indifferent. It was as if I had known that this would be the case.

As for Xiao Xia himself, he felt a little strange in his heart, in the face of the old man's repeated questioning, instead of being the slightest nervous, he had a strange feeling, the old man's inquiry did not seem to carry any malicious and real questioning, but seemed to give him a chance to explain.

The old man surnamed Xu continued to ask: "Also, even if you go around Jizhou, why did the two of you not come to Yuzhou until this time? Along the way, you can't take a slow trip to the mountains and rivers?"

"It's not just that we met some acquaintances on the road to Jizhou and were stumped by something. It's been a long delay. ”

"What the hell is going on? ”

Xiao Xia sighed, he didn't plan to talk about these things here, but now he simply told them all: "That's because I met Fourth Brother Tang and went to the Heavenly Volcano with him."

"Oh?" This moment everyone was immediately shocked, and even the two elders of the True Martial Sect were all moved. He Ji'er also looked at him with her mouth wide open, and asked, "Why didn't you sue me before?" It turns out that you know the fourth young master of Tangjiabao?"

Xiao Xia could only spread his hands and answer: "Fairy He, you didn't ask, I originally wanted to sue you later." ”

"Tell me quickly, let's hear it! What are you waiting for later!" the old man surnamed Xu slapped the table and said urgently. "I can't find any details about this. I can't imagine that you, this kid, can come out alive from there, I really underestimate you, underestimate you!"

###

"In this way, Miss Mingyue and I went all the way south and came to Yuzhou" Xiao Xia finished the last sentence, picked up the golden bird's nest soup in front of him and took a sip, and Run's throat was dry. Turning his head to look out the window, the sky had already darkened unconsciously, and he spoke from noon to evening.

The dishes on the table that had taken countless efforts from the chefs had hardly been touched, and they had already been so cold that Nangong Tong had forgotten to ask his subordinates to leave. Not only him, but everyone's minds at the table were attracted by Xiao Xia's words. Not long ago, the change of the Heavenly Volcano deserved to be a turmoil that shook the entire rivers and lakes and even the whole world, in the eyes of ordinary Jianghu guests, it was just the object of drunken conversation and longing for conjecture, but in the eyes of these people who stood high enough, the connotation and meaning were thousands of times heavier. Out of their own scruples, they didn't dare to go to Jizhou in person, so they could only inquire about the news from other channels, but those so-called well-informed gossip compared with what Xiao Xia saw and heard in the core and deepest part of the whirlpool, it became hearsay on the streets.

At this time, there was only a sound of breathing in the banquet, no one spoke, everyone stood at their own angle and height to savor the qiē they had just heard, and for a while the atmosphere in the living room showed a strange solemnity. Finally, the old man surnamed Xu let out a long breath and took the lead in saying astringently: "It's really a pity for the fourth child of the Tang family."

Among the two elders of the True Martial Sect, Xuan Xuan nodded, and his voice also carried regret: "I have also seen Tang Chengcheng with my own eyes, he is definitely a martial arts genius who can only come out in the world for decades, and his character is even more flawless, so he can only be said to be a jealous talent." ”

Another elder shook his head at the void: "Tang Jiabao has always acted ruthlessly and sparingly. Although this has created the prestige of the children of the Tang Sect in the past dynasties, the people's hearts have gradually gone to the ruthless and narrow road, and it is rare to have a heroic figure like Tang Chengcheng, but he is dragged down by his reckless brothers, and it is difficult to say that it is not a cycle of heaven, and he is to blame. ”

Zen Master Aoki also buried his head and sighed: "Amitabha." Unexpectedly, a hundred years after the destruction of the Demon Sect, there are still people who practice the most devastating Heavenly Ghost Heart Mantra, this Demon Dao Exercise is more vicious than the Devouring Heaven and Earth that devours people's flesh and blood essence to improve their skills, harming others and themselves, and the poison is endless. My Pure Land Monastery will also immediately agree with Heavenly Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain to list this person on the Demon Extermination Order forever. ”

"Hey. That is, Ye Hongshan expelled people from Yongzhou, so you dare to act like this, if people are still in the General's Mansion, do you dare to go out with that Laozi token? If you want to talk about the remnants of the Demon Sect, the Yongzhou General's Mansion is closed and a handful is grabbed, and I don't see you and that Zhang Yuhong coming to the door?" The old man surnamed Xu glanced at Zen Master Aoki and smiled, undisguised his ridicule. Zen Master Aoki had no choice but to remain silent and didn't see it.

"Hmph, the little monk didn't catch that guy at that time, where can I find it in the future?" Mingyue snorted hatefully, she had been haunted by the escape of the person in the sedan chair. Fortunately, Xiao Xia told her that she must not talk nonsense about Shifang deliberately letting go of the people in the sedan chair, otherwise she will say casually here, even if these people may already know it in their hearts, it will not be a big trouble after all.

Not only that, but there is no need to say anything, and Xiao Xia didn't say anything about it, including some of the grievances and entanglements between the two brothers. It was enough to tell some of the inside stories of the Raiders of the Lost Ark Alliance, and what Tang Chengcheng had seen and heard all the way to the core of the Heavenly Volcano.

"Boy, speaking of which, the old man really underestimated you. The old man surnamed Xu looked at Xiao Xia, and finally there was a bit of amazement in his eyes. "I actually stayed in the Liuzi camp in Yongzhou, and I was able to enter the eyes of Donald Si, and I could go deep into the heavenly volcano, and come back to life under Ye Hongshan's hands, but you don't seem to have any outstanding skills, that is, you are really a bit of a mortal saint. ”

"Old man Xu really underestimates people. Daoist Chongxu smiled slightly, and there was a bit of approval in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Xia. "Although this Qingfeng Dao elder is not very old, he has not had time to practice Taoism and martial arts to a high level, but just look at his speech and demeanor without being arrogant, impatient, arrogant or humble, even if he is contaminated with some market atmosphere, he also has his own demeanor and sincerity, and he knows that he is a young hero who has experienced strong winds and waves, and there are big ravines in his chest, and he will definitely shine in time. Martial arts skills or something are just trivial matters. ”

"Where, where, the seniors praised it falsely. Xiao Xia hurriedly clenched his fists, and was really embarrassed. The True Martial Sect is a member of the Dao Sect Inner Dan, and his status in the eyes of the Jianghu people who practice martial arts is even higher than that of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master Sect, and the casual praise of this Chongxu elder really makes him feel flattered.

"There's some truth to it, but this kid is still slippery after all. The old man surnamed Xu looked at Xiao Xia and smiled meaningfully. "Boy, with this experience, especially after the old immortals here know about it, your weight is heavy enough. With this He girl's righteous path alliance covering you, no one in the Luoshui Gang can really touch you before there is real evidence. ”

He Xi'er finally couldn't help but say, "Where did Old Man Xu come from?" We can always act only according to the righteousness and righteousness in our own breasts, and how can right and wrong be judged by anyone?"

"Exactly. He Fairy said yes. Wu Jinming, who had been silent and could only sweat secretly on the side, finally spoke. Now, he knew that it was his last chance, and if he didn't say anything, his trip would be in vain. "In recent years, our Shenji Hall has been exhibiting too much, and there are all mud and sand among the new generations, and it is inevitable that some despicable people who will do anything to achieve their goals will do things that hurt nature and reason. We will definitely investigate to the end, and pay back the two of them a fair one!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
