【005】Be a witness
The county seat of Whitewater after midnight.
The streets were empty, and there was not a single figure.
The silver moon hanging high in the sky, casting a bleak beam of moonlight, clothed the earth in a hazy veil.
The night breeze blows, bringing up gravel and fallen leaves on the streets, alleys, walls, and rolling in all corners.
Chen Rindong shrunk his neck, looked left and right, and ran through the alleys.
Soon, I entered a fang market and stopped at the door of a courtyard.
Knock knock~
Light and heavy rhythmic knocks on the door.
After a while, footsteps rang out from the courtyard.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, revealing a round-faced young man, who saw Chen Rindong and scolded, "You dog, why did you come?" ”
As he spoke, he poked his head out and looked left and right.
"Hehe, Brother Wang, don't worry, no one is following. In the middle of the night, there are no ghosts, let alone people. Chen Rindong laughed with him.
"Ghosts? What the hell do you want to see? The round-faced young man was disdainful and beckoned, "Come in, the helper is impatient." ”
"Hey, isn't there no way?"
Chen Rindong sighed as he walked into the courtyard, "Just in case, I don't dare to go out these days." ”
"Don't tell me, go and explain to the helper." The round-faced youth closed the door and followed.
Hearing this, Chen Lindong shut up and walked quickly into the brightly lit hall.
house.
Xiong Zengming sat on the recliner, with a plate of fried peanuts and drank a little wine.
Chen Lindong came in and didn't say hello.
"Helper!"
Chen Lindong saluted respectfully and said quickly, "Let the helper wait for a long time......
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiong Zengming interrupted impatiently, "You just said, did Chen Wuji get the money?" If so, where did the money come from? ”
"Nope."
Chen Rindong's face was full of gloom, "Chen Wuji didn't make any money at all!" ”
"Didn't scrape together any money?" Xiong Zengming was stunned, "You said Chen Wuji, there has been no action in the past few days?" ”
"Yes!"
Chen Lindong was also a little puzzled, "Chen Wuji has been staying in the house to practice for the past few days, and he has never been out of the door. ”
"Then where did he get the money to compensate?" Xiong Zengming pondered, "Or does he still have a lot of money saved by the Chen family?" ”
"This ......" Chen Rindong frowned, "As far as I know, the Chen family is still making money now, and other industries are losing money, or have been closed." ”
"And Chen Ji's circulating funds are at most five hundred taels, and within five days, he can't make up three thousand taels at all."
"That's weird." Xiong Zengming's eyes flickered, "No action, Chen Ji can't make up the money, two days later, what compensation will Chen Wuji take?" ”
"Could it be, Chen Wuji didn't plan to give it?" The round-faced young man who followed up touched his chin and said, "Two days later, Chen Wuji is ready to regret it?" ”
"Impossible!"
Chen Rindong immediately retorted, "Chen Wuji is so pedantic, I have an accident, although there is a reason, he will never care!" ”
"Save money? Yes, he must still have saved money, he has savings! ”
Chen Rindong said firmly, "The Chen family has also been in Baishui County for fifty years, and after so many years, there must be hidden money, such as family heirlooms or something!" That's right, heirloom! ”
"Haha, is Chen Wuji going to use the heirloom to pay off his debts?"
Xiong Zengming laughed, "However, I do have an interest. There is a little expectation for family heirlooms or something. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have heirlooms, just have a 'drunken spring breeze' wine recipe! Hahaha......"
"Hehe, I think the 'Drunken Spring Breeze' wine recipe is the biggest heirloom of the Chen family!"
Chen Rindong echoed and smiled.
"'Drunken Spring Breeze' is the biggest heirloom?" The round-faced young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and agreed, "It's true, 'Drunken Spring Breeze' is too profitable, with it, you can count money every day while lying down!" ”
"After all, it's a net profit of more than 10,000 taels of silver every year."
Chen Rindong's face was yearning and swallowed his saliva.
"What, you're envious?" Xiong Zengming squinted.
"This, hehe." Chen Rindong resumed his smile, rubbed his hands and said, "What, helper, how much can I get for the three thousand taels of silver this time?" ”
"It's not the same as before, give you three percent ......"
Click~!
There was a strange noise outside the house.
"What a sound!"
Xiong Zengming's eyes froze, and he stood up suddenly.
The round-faced young man didn't say a word, and quickly pounced out.
"Meow~"
On the wall, a black cat stepped on the tiles and barked softly.
Seeing someone rushing out of the house, he hurriedly flicked his tail and fled along the roof.
"It's a cat."
The round-faced young man retracted his gaze and turned back to the house, "Helper, it's a cat." ”
"It turned out to be a cat, and it scared me to death."
Chen Rindong exhaled and hugged his fists, "Helper, just in case, I'll go back first!" ”
"Go ahead."
Xiong Zengming sat back in his position and said lazily, "How many heirlooms are there in the Chen family, in the next two days, I will find an opportunity to inquire, maybe there is more than the 'Drunken Spring Breeze' wine recipe." ”
"Understood!"
……
in an alley.
"Bang bang!"
Han Ying vented her fist, hitting the wall, her face was full of anger, and she shouted, "Bastard! White-eyed wolf! Brute! In vain, the master was so good to him, Chen Rindong, a bastard, actually betrayed the master and took refuge in the Bear Gang! Brute, I'm going to kill him! ”
"How so? How so? Su Dayong muttered in disbelief, anger, and disbelief, "Master is so good to us, why should Xiao Qi betray?" ”
"You didn't listen to what he said at the end? Why? For the money! ”
"Back the year before last, seven ...... Chen Lindong began to borrow money from us, and every time Grandpa Ge gave money at the beginning of the month, Chen Rindong spent it in less than three days! ”
"What if you don't have money? In addition to borrowing, it is natural to find a way to fish everywhere. Master forbade us to gamble and cheat, nor was we allowed to go to Chen Ji on credit. ”
"I can't get it here, and I can't get it there, in the end, I naturally took a risk, started my own idea, and teamed up with outsiders to cheat money from the master!"
Duan Zhen, who didn't talk much in the past, kept drinking in one breath at this time, and it was difficult to hide the anger in his eyes, "I just said that we have been outside in the past few years, why are we so unlucky, dare to be a traitor, Chen Rindong, a white-eyed wolf, has been working with outsiders to cheat Master's money!" ”
"Brute! I'm going to kill this brute! Han Ying trembled with anger.
"Go home first."
Chen Wuji looked calm and said indifferently, "I'll talk about it when I go back." ”
“…… Yes, Master! ”
Duan Zhen and Han Ying gritted their teeth, pulled the lost Su Dayong, followed Chen Wuji, and walked quickly towards the Chen family's compound.
……
Return to the Chen family compound.
Chen Wuji took the three of them to the study, closed the door, and said, "Chen Rindong's betrayal, don't break it first, wait for two more days." ”
"Huh?" Han Ying was puzzled, "Master......"
"The teacher has broken through the sevenfold."
Chen Wuji decided to confide a little, and said, "As a teacher, I have entered the seventh level of refining the body, but I have just stepped in, and I am still a little lacking in the strength of the bear. Wait for two more days, stabilize the realm, and then face Xiong Zengming, even if he is defeated, he will not be defeated. ”
"Really?"
Han Ying's eyes widened, and her face was full of joy.
"Great!"
Duan Zhen's eyes also lit up, and his face was excited.
"Master's body refining is sevenfold?" Su Dayong blinked, suddenly his eyes turned red, tears flowed, and he choked up, "Great, great, it's been five years, Master, you have finally broken through." ”
This guy ......
Chen Wuji held back his embarrassment and said softly, "As a teacher, this is a lot of accumulation, and the subsequent improvement of cultivation will feel very fast, just get used to it." ”
Get vaccinated first!
"I see." Han Ying was skeptical.
"I knew Master would do it!"
Su Dayong clenched his fists and said in worship, "The previous breakthroughs were all accumulating, and once they break through today, they will definitely go straight to the sky!" ”
"Yes." Duan Zhen nodded in agreement.
"Ahem~"
Chen Wuji interrupted, "In short, don't tell anyone else about the breakthrough of the division and Chen Rindong's betrayal. ”
"Especially the boss, in the next two days, you will be busy with yourself, and when you meet Chen Rindong, you can avoid it from afar."
"Huh?" Su Dayong was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly, bowed his head and said, "Apprentice understands." ”
"Hehe~" Han Ying chuckled, "It's really difficult to let the senior brother act, it's not good to turn a blind eye, it's the safest thing to just see it!" ”
Su Dayong's face turned even redder, "I...... I ......"
"Alright."
Chen Wuji stopped, "Boss, stay away, you two should also pay attention." ”
"Apprentice understands!"
"Master, don't worry!"
Duan Zhen and Han Ying responded at the same time.
……
[Your eldest disciple Su Dayong's cultivation of "Rolling Dragon Fist" proficiency +1, current loyalty 92, get 92 times the reward, your "Rolling Dragon Fist" proficiency +92]
[Your second disciple Han Ying's cultivation of "Curling Dragon Fist" proficiency +2, current loyalty 79, get 79 times the reward, your "Curling Dragon Fist" proficiency +158]
[Your fifth disciple Duan Zhen cultivates "Snake Step" proficiency +2, current loyalty is 77, get 77 times the reward, and your "Snake Walk" proficiency +154]
……
As he told his apprentices, Chen Wuji practiced day and night for the remaining two days.
A large number of blood exchange pills were almost 100% absorbed under the refining of the ninth-layer consummation "Fish Swallowing Skill", pushing the progress of the seventh blood exchange in the refining realm to the end.
Successfully achieved the complete exchange of blood!
And "Rolling Dragon Fist", with the help of the apprentices, also achieved the perfection of boxing.
"Cloud Piercing Knife Method" and "Snake Walk" both entered Dacheng.
When the sun rose on the sixth day, Chen Wuji took a deep breath and finished consolidating the realm.
At the right time, Xiong Zengming took people and came to the Chen family compound again.
"Haha, Master Chen, I haven't seen you for a few days, my spirit is better."
In the spacious front yard, Xiong Zengming raised his head, looked at Chen Wuji who walked in, and greeted warmly, "Five days have passed, has Master Chen prepared the silver?" ”
"Ready."
Chen Wuji bathed in the early morning sun, looked around at Su Dayong, Han Ying, Duan Zhen and others who rushed over, and finally stopped his gaze on Chen Rindong.
"Gang Leader Xiong, before the handover, the master of this sect has something to announce, and I hope you can be a witness."
"What?"
Xiong Zengming's eyes widened suddenly, he plucked out his ears, and his face was full of incredulity, "Master Chen, do you want me to testify?" What to witness? ”
"Witness the first case of disciplining a disciple in this sect."
didn't give Xiong Zengming and Chen Rindong a reaction, Chen Wuji said loudly, "This disciple, Chen Rindong, eats inside and outside for money, for many years, he has deceived his master and designed to frame his senior brother, and today at this moment, the master of this sect announced that Chen Rindong will be eliminated!" ”
"From this breath on, Chen Rindong is no longer a disciple of the 'Hidden Dragon Gate'!"
Quiescence.
In the courtyard, there was a deathly silence, and there was no sound.
Everyone's eyes widened, their faces full of astonishment and horror.
What was stunned was Chen Yifan, Chen Qinglime, Nan Jinyu and other uninformed people.
What was shocking was Chen Rindong and the Knowing Bear Gang who came with Xiong Zengming.
Xiong Zengming was more shocked and a little caught off guard.
Su Dayong, Han Ying, and Duan Zhen, the three of them are okay as insiders and are mentally prepared.
At this moment, looking at Chen Rindong, whose face was pale and his body was shaking, he couldn't say how happy he was.
"Division...... Master, you open ...... Just kidding, right? ”
Half-sounding, Chen Rindong came back to his senses in fear, and said in a trembling voice, "I...... When did I eat inside and out? When ......"
"What did you do two nights ago, do you want me to point it out?"
Han Ying was angry, and interrupted mockingly, "Chen Rindong, Chen Rindong, I really never thought that you would be so greedy, I don't know what to say, I have no conscience!" ”
"Winter, winter!"
"You forgot, five years ago in the winter, who saved you from freezing to death on the street!"
Swish~
Chen Rindong's face turned red for a moment, but soon turned pale and purple again.
Shame, trepidation, horror, disbelief.
"You...... You slander ......"
"Okay, you don't need to say more, no one here likes to listen to." Han Ying interrupted again, "Master is interceding, saving you face, I haven't broken it, I'm not used to you." Now that you're no longer from our 'Hidden Dragon Gate', please get out of the gate happily. ”
"From now on, don't appear in front of us again!"
"You...... I ......" Chen Rindong's body shook, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
I only felt that my face was hot, my clothes seemed to be stripped naked, and all my secrets were exposed to the sun.
"Why, do you want us to help you?" Han Ying sneered and prepared to make a move.
"Wait!"
Xiong Zengming, who reacted, had a gloomy face, and shouted in a low voice, "Chen Wuji! What do you mean? ”
"What do you mean?"
Chen Wuji was puzzled, "It's just to let the Gang Leader Xiong be a witness, the Gang Leader Xiong is not willing to ......."
"Enough!"
Xiong Zengming interrupted and shouted angrily, "Chen Wuji, you young lady is pretending to be confused!" At this time, what do you mean by eliminating Chen Rindong? What do you want to do? Yes! You say, you want to do ......."
"Needless to say?"
Han Ying interjected, "Chen Lindong is not our 'Hidden Dragon Gate' anymore, if you want compensation, of course you have to find him himself!" ”
"That's right."
As she spoke, Han Ying seemed to think of something, turned around and picked up a bag of broken plates from the corner, walked back, put it in front of Xiong Zengming and the others, clapped her hands and said, "The dishes you left last time, not a single piece of them were missing, they are all here, if you want to go back, take them back." ”
“……”
The atmosphere was stiff and eccentric.
Han Ying, Duan Zhen, and Su Dayong held back and didn't let themselves laugh.
Chen Rindong's head was dizzy and his body was shaky.
Xiong Zengming's face turned red a little, and the people behind him were shocked, panicked, and caught off guard.
Chen Wuji always remained indifferent.
"Bear Gang Master, if you really don't want to witness ......"
"Witness your mother!"
With an angry shout, Xiong Zengming suddenly burst out and roared, "Chen Wuji! If you dare to fool me, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”
Rumble!
