Volume 1 Unraveling the Chain Chapter 23 The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth (I)

After entering the courtyard, Xu Shan followed closely behind Ti Ying and asked suspiciously, "How can Senior Sister Zhang enter this mansion, and the people I see are all called Miss Ti Ying, what's going on?"

Ti Ying's footsteps didn't stop, and when she heard the words, she turned around and said, "Because Brother Xu, the Shen Immortal Master you said is the father."

When Xu Shan heard this, he looked surprised, and deliberately asked: "Immortal Master Shen is naturally surnamed Shen, and Senior Sister, you are surnamed Zhang, this..."

When Ti Ying heard this, her face was entangled, and she didn't know how to speak.

Xu Shan naturally didn't deliberately ask deeply, "It's me who is abrupt, there must be something unspeakable hidden in it, I didn't expect Senior Sister Zhang to be the daughter of Shen Xianshi, it was I who didn't know Taishan with my eyes, and I took the liberty to disturb Miss Ti Ying." ”

After speaking, Xu Shan bowed his hand and was about to salute Ti Ying.

Ti Ying naturally didn't want to, saying that it was best to call her Senior Sister Zhang, and the two excused themselves, but Xu Shan saw that Ti Ying insisted on doing so, so he had to give up.

The two talked along the way, and soon arrived at the courtyard where Shen Zhuchen was. As soon as Xu Shan entered the courtyard, he saw a man in a coarse cloth shirt, who was squatting by a small pond with his butt pouting, burying his whole face under the lotus leaf, and at the same time making a babbling sound in his mouth, like the cry of a duckling that had just come out of the shell, and he didn't know what he was doing.

The lotus flowers in the small pond are in full bloom, the lotus leaves are green, a breeze blows, and the fragrance flows in the whole small courtyard, and the fragrance hits people.

Suddenly, a golden goldfish came out of the lotus leaves, under the morning sun, the scales of the goldfish reflected the sun, a burst of golden light flowed on the fish like water, the man in the coarse cloth shirt was caught off guard, and was splashed with muddy water, and the man ignored it, the gray light flashed in his hand, and grabbed the goldfish that crossed out of the lotus leaf, and the goldfish flashed with a burst of light, straight through the gray light, and then a tail swinged, fell back into the small pool, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The man muttered a few words, took the extra gold in his hand in his arms, brushed aside the green lotus leaves, and prepared to put his head into it.

Seeing this, Ti Ying shouted helplessly: "Daddy, I'm here." ”

The man hurriedly turned his face and saw Ti Ying, with a smile on his face: "When did Ying'er come, you haven't come to see Daddy for a few days." ”

Xu Shan originally saw this person's dress, thinking that he was just a servant in the courtyard, but when he heard Ti Ying's voice at this moment, he knew that the person who looked like this servant was Shen Immortal Master who he had been trying to get close to, Shen Zhuchen.

It's not surprising that it's fake, in Xu Shan's impression, which of the monks in the foundation building period he has seen in the past is not Yushu Linfeng, pear blossom and begonia, and this Shen Immortal Master's dress says that he is a wrestler who eats and sleeps in the open air, and there is no demeanor that a monk in the foundation building period should have.

Xu Shan has known that Zheng Xianshi and himself are difficult to be good to, and it is impossible to escape, firstly, the sect is surrounded by the vast Lingyun Mountain Range, and it is impossible for a wrestler to get out of the vast Lingyun Mountain Range in the dangerous area, and he can only go to the portal or immortal boat set up in the sect, otherwise he is a wrestler, unless he has the approval of the sect, he will not be able to escape the 100,000 mountains under the jurisdiction of the sect; , Life and death are only in the thought of the sect, and thirdly, Xu Shan himself also has thoughts about the Raising Eyebrows Pill, after all, if he follows his cultivation progress, it will be difficult to reach the fourth-level first-class wrestler realm before the end of his life.

After some thought and verification, relying on power and nobility was the fastest way to solve the problem, so Xu Shan aimed at the position of the guard at the small gate on the west side of the Shen family. As a wrestler, if you want to enter a wealthy family like the Shen family to get an official position, you have to have a certain amount of wealth, like the old cannon head and scar at the door just now, which is also used for decades of savings to give gifts, plus a certain amount of luck and protracted bribery to have the current caretaker status, Xu Shan naturally does not have so much money and not so much time, so he can only find another way, and the shortcut is the Shen Immortal Master in front of him.

Shen Xianshi's original surname was Zhang, and after Kang Longyuan, who participated in the Seven Great Sects Twenty Years ago, returned alive, he found that the Zhang family, who was originally one of the four masters of the Phiyun Sect, had been wiped out by the Shen family, so Zhang Shiran, who was originally the Qilin son of the Zhang family, went into hiding, and was not found by the Shen family until five or six years ago, and when he was found, there was already a daughter by his side, that is, Zhang Tiying, who was now standing in front of Xu Shan. After Zhang Shiran was arrested, the Shen family did not move him at all, but gave him the surname Shen, and married a daughter of Shen Liuyun, the head of the Shen family, to him, which can be described as tolerant and benevolent. But the husband and wife did not get along after marriage, and soon there were rumors that the daughter of the Shen family openly kept a mistress, coupled with the fact that Zhang Shiran, who is now Shen Zhuchen, released some tasks of Fuyang drugs in the main hall from time to time, which naturally made people think that his sexual affairs were not functional, and for a while, the genius son of the Zhang family, who was originally from the four major families, became a laughing stock in the sect.

Xu Shan found out these specious news through various channels before he decided to start with Zhang Tiying, wanting to appear in front of this Shen Immortal Master in the form of a life-saving benefactor and get the position of caretaker, relying on the prestige of the Shen family to get rid of the entanglement of Zheng Immortal Master.

Ti Ying didn't care what Xu Shan thought, but walked quickly to her father, took out a handkerchief to wipe the muddy water on his face, and asked nervously in a low voice, "Daddy, Erniang is not in the house, is she?"

Shen Zhuchen heard this: "No, I went out this morning, Ti Ying, you see what good things Daddy has gotten." ”

After speaking, he took out the broken gold in his arms, and handed it to Ti Ying.

Ti Ying couldn't cry or laugh, trotted behind Shen Zhuchen, and pinched his shoulder, "Daddy, you don't have to go to the Golden Valley Fish every time to scrape the gold, you see that the fish has lost a lot of weight every time you take the gold, and the gold is almost useless in this place." ”

Shen Zhuchen patted his daughter's hand dotingly, and said with a smile: "Ying'er, you don't understand, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, Dad is preparing a dowry for you, Dad told you, I have a few big jars of gold, and when you get married, I will bring it to you, go, Dad will show you those jars of gold, it looks good." ”

After speaking, he was about to take Ti Ying over, but when Ti Ying saw this, she grabbed her father and said, "I know, I know, Ying'er doesn't plan to get married, Ying'er is ready to take care of her father all the time." ”

When Shen Zhuchen heard this, he glared at Ti Ying, and pretended to be angry and said: "Women can't stay, stay and stay to become enemies, my father still knows this." Ti Ying, have you seen any talent outside recently, tell your father, and your father will check for you. ”

Ti Ying was pinching his shoulder, and when he heard this, his face turned red, and he increased his strength, which caused Shen Zhuchen to be sore for a while, and repeatedly told Rao Ti Ying to let him go.

Shen Zhuchen chatted with his daughter for a few more words, turned his eyes to look at Xu Shan, and asked, "Ti Ying, who is this?"

Seeing this, Ti Ying hurriedly told the truth about how Xu Shan saved their lives yesterday and how he met Xu Shan this morning. During the process, Xu Shan kept bending over without any words.

After Ti Ying finished speaking, Shen Zhuchen said: "Ti Ying, I know what you said, since it is my precious daughter's savior, my father will naturally not treat him badly, by the way, you just said that you still left Senior Brother Zhou at the post station, which is not good." In this way, you go to the post station first to see if Senior Brother Zhou is in trouble, and Daddy will take care of it here. ”

Ti Ying's sigh, then remembered that Senior Brother Zhou was still at the post station, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly told Xu Shan twice, chatted with his father for a few more words, and left in a hurry.

As soon as Ti Ying left, Xu Shan hurriedly stepped forward and held the snake tail with both hands, and bent over and said respectfully: "It was just a coincidence that I met Miss Ti Ying yesterday, I originally came for the task of Shen Immortal Master, what happened at the door of the Immortal Master just now was actually something wrong with me, and it had nothing to do with the two eldest brothers who guarded it. This is the snake tail, Shen Immortal Master, you are not satisfied. ”

Shen Zhuchen looked at the respectful Xu Shan with a smile, and did not make a sound behind his hands.

After Xu Shan finished speaking, he waited for Shen Immortal Master's reply, but found that there had been no response, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, and he couldn't understand what the situation was at all.

Just when Xu Shan couldn't help but raise his head, Shen Zhuchen's voice came: "You have a heart, Xu Shan, come with me." ”

Hearing the response, Xu Shan's heart was relieved, and he quickly responded, ignoring the cold sweat behind him, and quickly followed Shen Zhuchen.

When he arrived at the side room, Xu Shan put the snake tail in his hand on the table, and was about to speak, when he heard Shen Zhuchen say: "There is a small stove and casserole on your left hand, you put the snake tail in it and simmer it slowly." ”

Xu Shan didn't know what to do, so he had to do it. After a while, the stove was already sizzling, and Shen Zhuchen just took the book and looked at it during the process, without saying a word.

Xu Shan was confused at this time, puzzled, and after a long time, seeing that this Shen Immortal Master still didn't make any moves, under the tumbling of thoughts, he stopped the action of adding fire to the stove, took out the only remaining box of five gypsum from his arms, approached Shen Zhuchen in three steps and two steps, and arched his hand: "Shen Immortal Master, I am here to return the task assigned by you, and secondly, I also have something to ask for." ”

Xu Shan paused, and seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, he had to put the five plasters in his hand on the table, and continued: "Since I came to the Phiyun Sect, I have been taken care of by the sect, I am grateful to Dade, and I am unforgettable. Among the sects, the Shen Mansion is highly respected and has contributed a lot to the sect, although the kid is not worthy of virtue and talent, he also wants to take care of the Shen Mansion and take care of the hospital with all his heart, so..."

Hearing this, Shen Zhuchen stood up, slowly closed the book in his hand and put it on the table, and just as the book fell on the table, a ray of black light burst out from the shadow under the book, and then quickly extended, filling the entire room in the blink of an eye. Xu Shan only felt cold, and then whether it was the sound of the sizzling medicine stove outside, or the fragrance of lotus flowers in the courtyard full of gardens, he couldn't smell or hear it at this time, as if the hut he was in was isolated from the whole world.

And what I saw from the outside was still the picture of Xu Shan holding a fan and fanning the medicine stove. Then I listened to Shen Zhuchen say slowly: "Interesting, very interesting, no wonder your cultivation has improved so quickly in the past thirty years, and you can still be alive after offending so many people." ”

The voice was not hurried or slow, and it was very indifferent, which was completely different from the honest tone when talking to Ti Ying before.

Xu Shan's heart was terrified when he heard this, and he only felt that he was facing a colorful tiger that was bowing down and grabbing at this time, and he was like a trembling lamb in front of the tiger's mouth, and the whole person only felt that his head was empty, as if his soul was gone, and the frightened wind blew from his belly to his head like a leaf, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave.

At this time, only Shen Zhuchen's voice could be heard in his ears and continued: "It is a coincidence that you took my task and then Ti Ying met a snake tail bear in the Lingyun Mountain Range; at the moment of life and death, you appeared in time to save Ti Ying's group, this is a second coincidence; there was a quarrel with the guard outside the door and was touched by Ti Ying, this is a third coincidence; and then it happened that you came to me to seek a position as a caretaker because you offended a person surnamed Zheng, so that you could attach yourself to Gao Zhi and let him throw a mouse trap,"

Shen Zhuchen looked at Xu Shan, who was trembling and sweating all over, and said with a smile: "Zhongshan Xu Wugui, you say this is not a coincidence?"
