Chapter 44: Walking Through the Mountains

Early the next morning, Chen Meng got up early in the morning, packed his things, and waited for Wan Liao to come over and call him.

Recently, I have been in a hurry, from Dongzhou to Nanzhou, from Yunyue Tower to the City Lord's Mansion, and from Yunyue Tower to Yinshi Secret Realm, and now I have to rush from Huayu Village to Xishan.

Always on the go. It's quite romantic to say that. But when I think of running around and working hard, romance takes a turn for the worse.

After running around for a long time, Chen Meng always fantasized that he would find a place to rest, rest for a year or two, learn from those hermits, cultivate the fields, read books in his spare time, practice, do whatever he wants, but he is also free.

But time waits for no one. The things he encountered one after another, as if black and white impermanence were chasing after him.

What's more, there is an extraterritorial heavenly demon in the sky, and I don't know when I will come back. This Heavenly Demon is like a sword hanging over Chen Meng's head, which will be stabbed down at any time.

As soon as it was dawn, Wan Liao came and knocked on Chen Meng's door. "Are you awake?"

Chen Meng pushed the door and walked out. "I woke up early. I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Let's go?" Wan Liao is still dressed as an old man, on crutches. Wan Liao was followed by Jia Yaoxin, who was dressed plainly, and Jia Yaoxin stood on her shoulder with a little monkey carrying a burden, and saw Chen Meng squeaking happily.

"She's going too?" Chen Meng was a little surprised, "I'm thinking about coming back to pick her up after I'm done with things." ”

"Let her feel the days of eating and sleeping in advance in advance." Wan Liao shook his head, "Besides, I'm not in this village, and this little girl doesn't know how much trouble to make." Or take her with me, I'm relieved. ”

"Okay." Chen Meng nodded, looking at Jia Yaoxin, who was following Wan Liao and restrained the six gods, "Are you so afraid of him?" ”

"This is the majesty of the village chief." Wan Liao stroked his beard, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”

Wan Liao walked in the front, Jia Yaoxin was in the middle of the team, Chen Meng walked last, and the little monkey jumped on Chen Meng's shoulder. Chen Meng casually threw out an enlightenment spirit fruit, and the little monkey hugged it with joy and gnawed on it.

The three of them passed through the center of the village and came to the hill behind the village. Wan Liao hit a law and landed on the rock wall of the back mountain. The rock wall burst open, revealing a stone door.

Wan Liao stepped in. Chen Meng looked at Jia Yaoxin, who was hesitantly looking in at the gate of Shimen, and smiled, "You haven't been here?" ”

"I've never been out of the village since I've grown up." Jia Yaoxin looked at the stone gate, and a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes, "Even if I go out of the village, I am walking by the lake not far away, and I have never been to the secret passage of this back mountain." ”

"Let's go." Chen Meng pointed to the secret path with his hand, "When you leave the Four Mountains Realm, there will be more things you haven't seen." ”

Jia Yaoxin also raised her feet and walked into the stone gate, and Chen Meng followed closely. A fireball rose in his hand, illuminating the entire secret passage.

The secret passage is tortuous, and the winding path leads to seclusion. The three of them walked in the secret passage for an hour, and a light shone in front of them.

"This is there?" Chen Meng was a little surprised.

"Nope. This has reached Nanshan. Wan Liao shook his head, "But out of the secret passage is a medicine garden, and there seems to be someone in it." ”

"Anyone?" Chen Mengshen sensed it and smiled, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll deal with something." ”

"You're going to kill someone?" Wan Liao looked at Chen Meng playfully.

"It's hard not to kill." Chen Meng shook his head, "This is already an old vendetta." ”

In that medicine garden, there was a disciple of the Qiankun Pavilion, where he was leisurely collecting spiritual grass. Chen Meng walked Dada out of the secret passage, standing behind a tree and holding a sword, with a piece of grass in his mouth.

"This is the Immortal Cultivation Realm outside." Wan Liao pointed in the direction that Chen Meng walked over, "The weak eat the strong, robbery and plunder, this is a common thing. ”

"Hmm." Jia Yaoxin shallowly agreed.

"Do you still want to go out? How nice it is to stay in our small village and live a peaceful and happy life. ”

"I'm going out." Jia Yaoxin's eyes were very resolute, "Even if it's dangerous outside, I'm going to go out and have a look." In this small four-mountain realm, it can't become a climate after all. ”

"You're quite ambitious." Wan Liao smiled slightly, "Yes, young people should have this kind of ambition." ”

Chen Meng leaned against the tree, looking at the disciple who was collecting medicine in the field, and couldn't help but be a little speechless. In this time, it was enough to kill him 800 times. But he didn't want to kill people for no reason, even if he was a disciple of Qiankun Pavilion.

Heaven has the virtue of a good life, if this person has a good character, not a bullying and ruthless person like Qiankun Pavilion, Chen Meng doesn't mind letting him live. But only if he can see himself.

This kid has been picking and picking up the spiritual grass in that field for almost an hour, and he can't see himself at all.

As a last resort, Chen Meng was tired of waiting and coughed twice.

The disciple raised his head and his pupils shrank: "Who are you?" When did you come? ”

"You don't know me?" Chen Meng touched his face, "Are you really a disciple of Qiankun Pavilion?" ”

"Oh. You are Chen Meng. The disciple nodded, "Yes." Know. Wait, are you Chen Meng? You're here to kill me? ”

"Sort of." Chen Meng shook his head, "It depends on your attitude." ”

"I don't have any attitude." The disciple also shook his head, "It's just that the so-called first person of casual cultivation is such an indiscriminate killer, I feel pity." ”

"You're kind of interesting." Chen Meng smiled, "Actually, I don't have to kill you. I'm ruthless with Qiankun Pavilion, not you. ”

"Qiankun Pavilion? Sooner or later, the broken firm will go out of business. ”

"Huh?" This time it was Chen Meng's turn to wonder, "You're not from Qiankun Pavilion?" ”

"Do you think the Qiankun Pavilion is a monolith?" The disciple smiled, "Great Elder Qin is domineering and indiscriminate, and many of his subordinates have long been dissatisfied. ”

"Interesting." Chen Meng sat on the ground, "I don't want to kill you, you tell me about it." ”

"Oh. That's where I blame you. The disciple smiled, sat down on the floor, and took out a pot of wine, "Let's talk while drinking." ”

Chen Meng naturally poured out a cup and was about to drink it.

"The first person to be a casual cultivator doesn't even have this kind of vigilance?" The disciple stopped Chen Meng, "This wine is poisonous." ”

"Huh?" Chen Meng was stunned for a moment, and thought of something, "This wine was given to you by someone from the City Lord's Mansion?" ”

"You know everything?" The disciple was a little surprised.

"I already knew."

"That's still too much for me. You can know that the City Lord's Mansion wants to take away your top secret, and you can see that you really have some means. ”

"Tell me about your Qiankun Pavilion. I'm interested in this comparison. ”

"In the final analysis, family ugliness should not be publicized. But since you asked, I'll tell you about it. The disciple changed a pot of wine, poured a glass himself, and drank it all.

"Before Qin Feng became the Great Elder, Qiankun Pavilion was the freest and most relaxed business house in the entire Canglan City, although the income was not high, our disciples were very happy. At that time, the presbyterian council took a 30% commission every month, and we had the final say on all commodities, what to sell and what not to sell, and how much to sell. ”

"After Qin Feng took office, everything changed. The Council of Elders doubled its monthly commission to sixty percent. What each of us sells is decided by the Presbyterian Church, and the pricing is also under the control of the Presbyterian Church. The disciples below will no longer have the freedom to make their own decisions, and it is no longer the days when we were free and easy before, everyone has a task, and if they can't achieve it, the presbytery will punish them. ”

"There are many people below who are not satisfied, and there are slight complaints. But I don't know where Qin Feng got a shadow guard, as long as he doesn't agree with his reforms, doesn't agree with him, and doesn't approve of his policies, they will all be assassinated. ”

"I think the reforms ahead are okay." Chen Meng pondered, "If you want to become a big business house, these things have to be decided, you must have less freedom, but you also have a lot more income." ”

"We're here to practice, not to be merchants. At the beginning, Qiankun Pavilion first recruited disciples, but it was in the name of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, not a business house. In the beginning, the trading house was just a part-time job for us to earn some money for ourselves. ”

"However, it is true that as you said, we have increased our income quite a bit. It's just that this indiscriminate killing and assassination really makes us dare to be angry and dare not speak. ”

"It's a bit excessive." Chen Meng nodded.

"So you look at the Qiankun Pavilion, which has a strict hierarchy and a strict system, we are really not monolithic. The Qiankun Pavilion is divided into four halls and sixteen halls, four halls are directly under Elder Qin, and the sixteen halls are divided into eight halls and eight halls. Most of the upper eight halls are Qin Feng's cronies, operating Qin Feng's unsightly underground industries; The lower eight halls are not. There were many people in the lower eighth hall who disagreed with Qin Feng, but they only dared to retreat quietly and did not dare to speak. ”

"My master is the shopkeeper of the Imperial Garden Hall in the Lower Eighth Hall, and it is because of this that I came to the secret realm to find you."

"Come to me?"

"My master said that you are a variable, if someone can save Qiankun Pavilion, it can only be you."

"Save? Isn't your Qiankun Pavilion good? Why save? ”

"You look good, do you know what happened to people who eat both black and white throughout the ages? The City Lord's Mansion can use us, we are the Qiankun Pavilion; Once the City Lord's Mansion doesn't use us, we are the underworld. ”

"That's right. Your master is looking at the long term. ”

"This is not something that my master can see, but the reasonable people in the entire Qiankun Pavilion can see it. The City Lord's Mansion is a wolf that can't be fed, sooner or later, one day, this wolf will bite back, and the Qiankun Pavilion will be gone. ”

"So how do you want me to save Qiankun Pavilion?"

"Not now." The disciple shook his head, "My master's original intention is to let me tell you that the City Lord's Mansion wants to harm you, so that you can remember our kindness, and one day in the future, when you come back to the City Lord's Mansion to settle accounts, remember to bring Qiankun Pavilion with you." It's just that I didn't expect that you already knew it yourself. ”

"It's not that hard." Chen Meng nodded, "I remember." By the way, is Lian Shanyun a disciple of the Upper Eighth Hall or a disciple of the Lower Eighth Hall? ”

"He's my brother." The disciple's eyes were a little dim. "That's why I'm coming to you. Qin Feng hated you for not giving him Canglan Zhu and not giving him face, in order to harm you, he sent Lian Cang and Lian Shanyun brothers, and after the matter was exposed, he killed Lian Cang without saying a word, and harmed Lian Shanyun. This incident completely chilled our hearts in the Eighth Hall. ”

"That's a coincidence." Chen Meng smiled, "Lian Shanyun is not dead, do you know?" ”

"I know." The disciple nodded, "Even Senior Brother's soul lamp has not been extinguished, and he is still alive." ”

"You can practice your skills in Qiankun Pavilion. When I settle accounts with the City Lord's Mansion in the future, the Qiankun Pavilion will belong to you. What is your name? ”

"Thank you Chen Gongzi for your support. In the next road life, thank you Chen Gongzi. ”

"What kind of support is this?" Chen Meng smiled, "Let's talk about it then." I don't know if I'll live to that day. ”

"What are you going to do with the people of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I have a plan for myself. Don't get involved. I'm going to look for them in the West Hill now. ”

"You're still looking for them?" Lu Pingsheng was a little puzzled, "You don't want to make a big one, do you?" ”

"I just want to make a big one." Chen Meng smiled.

"The city lord is guarding outside, you have to kill them all, you can't survive if you get out of the secret realm."

"That's too easy." Chen Meng smiled, "Isn't he going to take away me, I'll just give him a play when the time comes." ”
