Chapter 1: Take the thief
A scream came from under the dungeon, and even in the courtyard outside, it was clearly audible.
There is an old pine in the courtyard, as strong as a dragon, Lou Zhenwu sits in front of the Panasonic stone table, and gently buckles the table with the rhythm of the screams.
After a while, the screaming stopped, and the deacon in charge came over to say, "Fifth Senior Brother, the case is generally clear. Cen's wife only wanted to die quickly, and recruited everything. ”
Lou Zhenwu nodded: "Say it." ”
The punishing teacher said: "Senior Sister Qi is also kind, Lu saw that she was uneven and pulled out a knife to help, and killed Cen Wujian by mistake, his wife held a grudge, gathered the little bandits to set up an ambush, and took advantage of Senior Sister Qi's defenselessness to succeed......"
Lou Zhenwu said coldly: "A kind heart? She's just reckless! This is due to her nature, so she doesn't need to hide it! ”
The deacon in charge bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's just that Cen Wujian and his wife quarreled, and the quarrel was very dangerous, and they all reached the point of using a knife...... Of course, Senior Sister Qi did act a little more ruthlessly. ”
Lou Zhenwu shook his head: "Go on." ”
"After Senior Sister Qi was killed, the flying sword was obtained by Cen Wife, because Senior Sister Qi did not carry the spirit pill spirit stone at that time, so Cen Wife compensated the other five people with spirit stones, one for each person, one ......"
"One piece per person?"
"These scattered cultivators are all poor......"
Lou Zhenwu couldn't help but be happy: "One spirit stone for one person? There were only five spirit stones in total, and Senior Sister Qi died? ”
The deacon in charge was also helpless: "That's true. ”
Lou Zhenwu suddenly had a sense of absurdity, and was so depressed that he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally spit out a breath of turbidity and said, "All those involved will be dealt with cleanly...... And escaped two thieves? ”
The deacon in charge replied: "A thief said that his surname was Wei, his name is unknown, the fifth layer of qi refining, it is a loose cultivation in Xiangxi, and I don't know where to practice for the time being." The identity of the other thief is quite vague, and his cultivation is not clear, according to the confession of the four criminals such as Cen Wife, he has a close relationship with the Wei thief, and claims to be a disciple of the Pai Sect, surnamed Li. ”
Lou Zhen said: "This kind of bandits, accustomed to being secretive, may not be true when registering, but people can draw pictures and figures, and check in detail with each branch of the sect." ”
The deacon in charge said: "When Wei and Li were acting, they all wore hats and black scarves, and the four criminals such as Cen Wife had never seen their true faces, but they also said that they should not be very old. The self-proclaimed disciple of the Pai Sect is good at incense, and when he ambushed Senior Sister Qi, he used this obscene trick. ”
"Misty? Can you charm Senior Sister Qi's incense? Lou Zhenwu groaned: "I haven't heard that there are people who use incense without permission. ”
The deacon in charge also said: "Yes, most of the disciples of the Pai Sect are engaged in chasing corpses and insects, and they are very slow to smell, otherwise they would not be able to do this." ”
Lou Zhen said: "Use the incense to deal with my Dongyang faction disciples, if you really use despicable means, send more people, you must capture these two thieves and avenge Senior Sister Qi!" ”
After the order, Lou Zhenwu left the dungeon and went to the ninth junior brother Su Zhenjiu, and said to him: "Senior Sister Qi was killed, several senior uncles and uncles are very angry, if Zhang Xianbai retreats and has another accident, the outer door may not be of great use." The matter of including outer disciples should also be hurried, after all, it takes three years to accept one person, which is related to the foundation of the survival of my Dongyang faction, and it cannot be ignored. ”
Su Zhenjiu sighed: "Senior Sister Qi is the most talented among the outer disciples, it's really a pity. ”
Lou Zhenwu shook his head and said: "It's also a lesson, accept disciples, and be the center of gravity." ”
Su Zhenjiu nodded, presented a roster, let his senior brother look through it, and introduced it in his mouth: "According to the wishes of the senior brother, this selection of people pays equal attention to temperament and talent, and those who have a frizzy temperament are all abandoned, leaving a total of ten candidates." According to the usual practice, most of them come from the Jingxiang family and the small school of loose cultivation. ”
Lou Zhenwu glanced at the roster, and immediately vetoed three of them: "These three people are not from Jingxiang, and they have only been in for a few years, who knows where they came from?" ”
Su Zhenjiu said: "The talent is very good. ”
Lou Zhen Wudao: "Then don't, you must know that the foundation of my Dongyang faction is located in southern Hunan, or I still have to choose good materials that know the roots, outsiders live here, there are no thirty or fifty years of unfamiliarity, if there is something in the faction, this generation is often half-hearted." ”
Su Zhenjiu nodded, although it was a pity, he also felt that what the fifth senior brother said was right.
When Lou Zhenwu saw the end, he suddenly frowned: "How come there is still an Oolong Mountain?" Liu Xiaolou? ”
Su Zhenjiu said: "This person is recommended by our outer disciples in Xiangxi, saying that he is eighteen years old, but he has a calm heart, although he is from Wulong Mountain, he has never heard of any great evil things." The heart of the Tao is very sincere, and the talent is also good, but it coincides with the death of his teacher, and no one teaches the true meaning of cultivation......"
Lou Zhenwu waved his hand to stop: "Senior brother, there are many cultivators in the Oolong Mountains and Wilderness, they are called bandits, their methods are inferior, and their reputation is notorious, and they are very different from those cultivation families and scattered cultivation sects, and it is difficult for such characters to be educated...... Moreover, this Liu Xiaolou is eighteen years old, not eight years old, his character has been determined, and it is definitely easier to do it. Receiving the entry of the bandits in Oolong Mountain, not to mention the income of the inner door, even if it is the outer door, it may become a laughing stock in the world if it is passed out. ”
Su Zhenjiu made his last effort: "It is said that he is the descendant of the Three Xuanmen. ”
Lou Zhenwu thought hard, but he couldn't think of it for a while: "Sanxuanmen? ”
Su Zhenjiu reminded: "It is said that his ancestor is one of the masters of Luofu Mountain Cave, two hundred years ago due to the infighting in Luofu Mountain and ran away, and opened the Three Xuanmen, but unfortunately it was not successful, the sect declined, and now there is only Liu Xiaolou left. ”
"Where did you hear that?"
“...... Rumors ......"
Lou Zhenwu shook his head and smiled: "I have never heard of this matter, and I don't say whether it is true or not, if it is true, there is no need to provoke Luofu Mountain...... Let him fend for himself. ”
Su Zhenjiu sighed: "Understood, then let the remaining six people go up the mountain to be selected?" ”
Lou Zhenwu nodded: "That's it." ”
Since the fifth senior brother had decided, Su Zhenjiu naturally had no choice but to carry it out, and he wrote a letter to his uncle Su Shopkeeper in Xiangxi Zhongyi Fang, explaining the situation in detail and showing that he had done his best.
Shopkeeper Su was also very helpless after receiving the letter, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Wulong Mountain in person. Wulong Mountain has always had a bad reputation, after all, he received generous gifts from others, but the matter was not done, don't do anything unreasonable when the other party does something, it will be very troublesome to entangle. Of course, the gift will never be returned, and there is no reason to return it.
Xiangxi, Wulong Mountain, Qianzhuling.
A clump of green bamboo, a fence, a thatched hut. This is Liu Xiaolou's cultivation cave mansion.
Shopkeeper Su didn't enter the hospital, explained the details to Liu Xiaolou through the firewood, and then sighed: "Little brother, it is said that your character is excellent, and your teacher is the same, otherwise the old man will not make friends with your master and apprentice." Let's talk about it, what are your backgrounds...... There was no way, the old man had already tried his best. ”
Liu Xiaolou was silent for a long time, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Thank you for the shopkeeper, I've troubled the shopkeeper." ”
Shopkeeper Su looked at Liu Xiaolou in front of him, and felt very sorry in his heart, what a handsome young man, if he really entered the Dongyang faction, he would be a temporary star in his faction. It's a pity that you were born in a den of thieves, although the old man has the heart to drag you out of the pit, but people are soft-spoken, and they can't speak.
Seeing that Liu Xiaolou was quite reasonable and did not make a big fuss, the shopkeeper Su gave his hand and said: "If there are any difficulties in the future, you can still come to me." ”
He had no intention of staying in this poor mountain and bad water for a long time, and he always felt that if he stayed longer, his back would be a little colder.
Liu Xiaolou smiled and watched him go down the ridge.
In order to climb up to the Dongyang faction's spokesman in Yongshun Mansion, Liu Xiaolou spent a lot of effort and almost tossed all the belongings left by his teacher, Mr. Sanxuan, but in the end, he was hit on the head. It is said that when I entrusted the shopkeeper to do things, I also tried my luck, and I thought that the possibility of success was very small, but I really got the news of failure, and I was still quite depressed.
What happened to the origin of Oolong Mountain?
Who did you provoke?
I didn't get through this step, and when I sat on the veranda in front of the house for a long time, I remembered that I had to go to participate in the ceremony of double cultivation of my righteous brother, so I turned around and went back to the house, and then froze.
The spirit stone that was used as a congratulatory is gone!
