Chapter 35: The Devil's Heart
Before everyone could react, they were stunned for a while, that is, after such a while, Zhang Yuanyi fell asleep, snoring like thunder.
Shen Xuefeng was stunned, and finally smiled and said: "Monkey, you are not informal, not like an ordinary person!"
As a result, he finished laughing, but found that Hong Guan looked serious, and he also knew that the other party had something to say to him, so he smiled and quietly left with Hong Guan.
The two walked for a long time, stopping where they were sure that the other could no longer hear their conversation.
Shen Xuefeng asked quietly: "Monkey, if you have something to say, just tell me the ins and outs of the matter." ”
Hong Guan's eyes quickly swept around, close to Shen Xuefeng's ears, and whispered: "This guy is a cultivator, his strength is unfathomable, and the most important thing is that the other party is not from our Lin Quanguo, it should be a guy from outside, although he didn't say it clearly, but I guess it is likely that he is here for the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." ”
As soon as Shen Xuefeng heard the four words of the martial arts alliance leader, he trembled with anger, so that his voice was almost uncontrollable, "It's the martial arts alliance leader again, this group of guys is really crazy, everyone covets the position of the martial arts alliance leader, and even external forces have to intervene in it! It's disgusting! Greedy!"
The leader of the martial arts alliance can nominally call on the world's heroes, which is equivalent to most of the martial arts of the Linquan Kingdom being controlled by them, of course they don't believe that Zhang Yuan can control the martial arts alone, but they prefer to believe that Zhang Yuanyi came on order, and the sect behind him is the real mastermind behind it.
Everyone wants to control the martial arts alliance leader in their hands, since they control the entire rivers and lakes.
Then it will be even more tricky at this time, you must know that outside the Linquan Kingdom, the big sects, the major sects, the number of sects, there are countless doors, if it is really a behemoth, I am afraid that the situation of the entire Linquan Kingdom will only become more chaotic.
Now Shen Xuefeng's impression of Zhang Yuanyi has fallen to the bottom, let alone any gratitude.
You must know that their Hungry Tiger Gang and Wolf Tooth Gang will make trouble like this, and a large part of it is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Although Linquan Country is small, it still has four counties, namely Hesong County and Baiji County in the Bailongguan sphere of influence, Heiyang County and Zhizhang County in the sphere of influence of Heishui Villa.
But everyone in the eyes knows that the so-called county is just Lin Quanguo's swollen face and fat man, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Lin Quanguo is not as good as even a third-level local unit in Datang.
Analogous to the place occupied by the two camps, the land occupied by the two gangs of tigers and wolves is like mosquito meat, but mosquito meat is also meat, and the two places cannot avoid the fate of being fought for by the two camps.
As a result, the two major gangs fought inextricably in order to unify the area as soon as possible, so that when the time came, the people from the two camps would not even have a chance to negotiate.
He gradually didn't understand, and sighed and said, "The original decision to elect the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, is this resolution really good?"
If it is good, why are the rivers and lakes of Linquan Country more chaotic, and why are the people not only not happy, but even more in dire straits.
Hong Guan frowned and asked: "Big brother, what should we do now, this guy said that he was going to meet with the people of the Wolf Tooth Gang at the Tianxian Restaurant in Nanxi Town tomorrow, I'm afraid ......"
Shen Xuefeng raised his head suddenly, and said in disbelief: "This person has already offended the Wolf Tooth Gang to save you, and he even wants to meet with the people of the Wolf Tooth Gang, if it is not for his fearlessness and great intentions, it is absolutely impossible to do such an outrageous act!"
He held his chin with one hand, lowered his head, and fell into deep thought, this guy's mind has been completely exposed, between the real villain and the hypocrite, he still resolutely chose the real villain, that is, there is no situation at all, this matter is difficult!
Shen Xuefeng raised his head hesitantly and said, "Perhaps, we have no choice. ”
Hong Guan and Shen Xuefeng have been living and dying for many years, and he instantly guessed his thoughts, and he hesitated: "Is it really like this?"
Shen Xuefeng's eyes were firm and said: "You know, monkey, we are from Lin Quanguo, and no matter how we are, we can't give up our own land." ”
Hong Guan nodded contemplatively, and couldn't help but shed tears, once that decision was made, it would mean that all the years of hard work would be in vain, and this feeling would be difficult for anyone to accept.
Shen Xuefeng patted Hong Guan on the shoulder, and said sadly in his heart: "Big brother is sorry for you, sorry for you!"
Hong Guan clenched his fists and said intermittently: "Don't complain about big brother...... If you want to blame it, blame this world for being too dirty, blame those people for being too greedy in their hearts......"
"What are you two brothers upset about, why don't you say it to make me happy?" Just when the two of them were very sad, a figure slowly disappeared from a forest in the night.
The man was dressed in a Taoist robe, with black hair, fluttering wantonly in the evening breeze, and a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, like a ghost in the dark, strange and chilling.
Shen Xuefeng pulled Hong Guan behind him, blocked the front, and said as quietly as possible: "Isn't the immortal master resting, why did you come here in the middle of the night?"
Zhang Yuanyi picked a leaf casually, under the cold evening breeze, the leaves also looked cold and cold, he played with it casually, raised his eyes to look at the two, and said gloomily: "I want to rest, but the voice of the two of you is too loud, the more I listen, the more frightened I become, I am afraid that halfway through sleep, I will be stabbed into the heart by the two of you, and in the end I don't even know how I died!"
Shen Xuefeng was like a great enemy, a little sweat oozed from his back, soaking his clothes, and he forced a smile on his face: "How can the immortal master have such an illusion, you are our savior, we are destined not to do such an ungrateful thing......"
Zhang Yuan crushed the leaves one by one, the stiff leaves, crackling, he let go of his hand, all the pieces floated to the ground, "Oh?
Everyone seems to have experienced a life and death, and the air is gradually solidifying, and every step is terrifying!
"Big brother, oh no, big brother!" At this time, Sanniang's anxious voice came from a distance, she ran all the way, holding a piece of yellow paper in her hand, panting, "That...... That guy was gone! I was still sleeping on the beam, but the next moment I turned into a piece of yellow paper and disappeared under my nose!"
"Ahem!" Sanniang probably ran too fast, and didn't pay close attention to the surrounding situation at all, and then saw Hong Guan and Shen Xuefeng looking at her wildly, so she felt that something was wrong, and didn't continue.
Zhang Yuanyi quipped a few feet away from her left hand side: "I didn't expect that my disappearance would cause such a big reaction from Miss Sanniang, I have always been very concerned about Zaixia, I am really scared and flattered!"
Sanniang was like seeing an evil ghost, so frightened that she couldn't give up, and she was stunned!
Zhang Yuan's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word!
Before, it was just a little trick at random, making a stand-in talisman, and the real body has been hidden by Hong Guan's side, just to see what the other party has planned.
As expected, the other party had a lot of plans, and everyone was scheming and calculating with each other.
In the final analysis, neither side has ever trusted anyone, and has always tried to win more on their own positions.
Several people were embarrassed for a long time, Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to break the silence and said: "Actually, you don't need to be so hostile to me, I mean I am from a sect outside the Linquan Kingdom, but you have too superficial understanding of me after all." ”
At this point, Hong Guan no longer wanted to be afraid of Zhang Yuanyi, and broke the jar and said: "You have it, you are an outsider, the world is as black as a crow, we will not believe your nonsense! Rather than handing over the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance to you outsiders, it is better to hand it over to the people of the two camps, at least it is our own family who goes around and around!"
Zhang Yuan slapped his forehead one by one, and said helplessly: "It turns out that you are worried about this, so you don't have to." For us, the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance of the Linquan Country is still unsightly after all. ”
These are not only Hong Guan, but even everyone else can't help but sneer, if they can't get into the eyes, will they come to bother to get involved in Lin Quanguo's affairs?
But then they can't be allowed not to believe it, because in front of them, is a crystal clear white jade jade plate, shining in the night, on the jade plate, with the engraving technique, carved out of two regular script characters - Chaohu.
Shen Xuefeng was worthy of being the leader of the gang, and was the first to recognize the origin of this jade plaque, and exclaimed: "Chaohu Academy!
The rest of the people were also surprised by his reaction.
Shen Xuefeng breathed a long sigh of relief, put away the fuse in his sleeve, if the other party acted a little rashly, he would definitely fight for the result that everyone would not end well, and leave Zhang Yuanyi here forever!
But now that he saw the jade plate of the academy, all this must be avoided, he explained: "If it is from the disciples of Chaohu Academy, it is we who live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and we neglect Mr. ”
Who in the world doesn't know Chaohu Academy, the first academy in the world, a behemoth that can really be indifferent to fame and fortune, not to mention the small Linquan Kingdom, even the deceit between the three major countries, Chaohu Academy disdains to meddle in one or two, and all their previous ideas are very ridiculous.
However, Shen Xuefeng still had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he asked, "Since Your Excellency is a disciple of the academy, why did you come to our Lin Quanguo, and why did you dress like a Taoist priest?"
This is also what Hong is puzzled about, when he first met Zhang Yuanyi, he initially suspected that Zhang Yuanyi was from the White Dragon Temple, after all, although Taoism flourished in the entire Linquan Kingdom, the investigation of true and false Taoists was very strict.
Once it is found that the identity is fake, the price is very large, and you will even be detained and arrested by the imperial court, and the end will be miserable!
But Zhang Yuan's behavior is very puzzling.
Zhang Yuanyi replied: "I heard that Taoism is flourishing in Linquan Country, and all parties are respecting Taoism, and the dress of Taoist priests is just for convenience. Another reason is that my first master was a Taoist priest, and I didn't mean much to deviate from the norm in doing this. ”
Hong Guan nodded, but persuaded him: "You do things like this, but you add to the snake, although Lin Quanguo respects Taoism, but for those Taoist priests who know nothing about it, they are even more disgusted, once they are discovered, the price is very large!"
However, as soon as he said this, he immediately regretted it, isn't this indirectly insulting Zhang Yuan's sparse method?
Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't say anything, but asked rhetorically: "In that case, can you tell me what you were talking about before?"
Shen Xuefeng still plucked up the courage and said, "Let's tell us first, why Chaohu Academy wants to participate in the affairs of Lin Quanguo." ”
