Chapter 412: Cheng Lin has a response, so he takes the opportunity to explore the situation again
understood what the situation was, and Xu Chenglin also had a way to deal with it in his heart. Observing the thin monk following behind him without a trace, Xu Chenglin changed directions and walked towards a remote place. Sensing that Xu Chenglin's direction had changed, the thin monk suddenly frowned. He was a little unclear about what Xu Chenglin wanted to do now.
Looking at the surroundings, the thin monk suddenly had a bad feeling. If Xu Chenglin is moving in the direction now, he will definitely take a path that is inaccessible. If he follows like this, there is a great possibility that he will be discovered. The thin monk was very self-aware, and he knew that he had not been discovered so far, but only under the cover of the passers-by around him. Without these covers, his actions can easily attract the attention of others.
"How is this good? The fat man has gone to the trading office, and if he is here, we may be able to cooperate with each other." ”
At this moment, the thin monk regretted a little that he agreed to the fat monk to go to the trading office first. But after thinking about it for a while, the thin monk was helpless and resentful.
"Hey, blame this damn guy if you want to blame it! Walk well, why change directions. ”
Thinking so in his heart, the thin monk gritted his teeth and continued to quietly follow Xu Chenglin.
The thin man's expression was seen by Xu Chenglin, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he continued to walk towards the remote place.
Seeing that Xu Chenglin was about to deviate from the main path, the thin monk suddenly had a plan in his heart. He took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag and chased after Xu Chenglin quickly. While chasing, he also shouted in a hurry.
"Senior brother in front, junior brother in front of you, wait a minute!"
Xu Chenglin knew that the thin monk was shouting at him, but he couldn't help but speed up his pace instead of stopping.
When the thin monk saw Xu Chenglin like this, he ran faster. Just a few breaths, he caught up with Xu Chenglin. With a handful on Xu Chenglin's shoulder, the thin monk finally succeeded in making Xu Chenglin stop.
Turning around slowly, Xu Chenglin pretended to be displeased.
"This fellow Daoist, I don't know what you're looking for me?"
Looking Xu Chenglin up and down, the thin monk made a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, no wonder you didn't stop shouting just now, it turns out that you are not a monk of our Phantom Cult. If I'm not mistaken, you must have come to be a guest of our Phantom Cult, right?"
The reason why Xu Chenglin avoided the Thin Monk was actually that he was worried that the Thin Monk would come to trouble him by taking advantage of the fact that he was not a Phantom Sect monk. But when he talked to the thin monk, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this thin monk would take the initiative to solve the problem of identity for him.
"What the hell is this guy trying to do?"
Feeling strange in his heart, Xu Chenglin replied to the thin monk's words.
"This Taoist friend is right, I am a monk from Jiuhua Academy, and I am passing by here to visit friends as a guest. ”
The thin monk made a look of what he was, and then continued.
"Really, this friend of yours is too irresponsible. If you go to a place where you shouldn't go, it will not only be you but also him who will be in trouble. ”
"This is trying to calculate with Luo Xue?
Hearing the words of the thin monk, Xu Chenglin thought of hatred in his heart. But the expression on his face didn't change much, just smiled lightly.
"Don't hide it, I've been in this Phantom Sect for a while. As for where you can go and where you can't go, you don't know what you know. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come out and walked on my own. ”
Xu Chenglin's words immediately sealed the other words of the thin monk. The thin monk opened his mouth, and finally laughed awkwardly.
Xu Chenglin snorted secretly and was about to leave. He wanted to follow his original plan, first find a remote place to cast a spell to change his appearance, get rid of the thin monk and buy what he wanted at the trading place by the way.
Xu Chenglin's idea was good, but the thin monk stopped Xu Chenglin. The thin man's move suddenly made Xu Chenglin frown again. He was a little confused about what the thin monk was trying to do.
Just when Xu Chenglin was puzzled, the thin monk showed a kind smile. He handed a fist-clenched hand to Xu Chenglin and shook it slightly.
Seeing this action, Xu Chenglin thought that the thin monk wanted to openly attack him. Subconsciously, his body tensed violently, and he was ready to defend and counterattack.
The thin monk was not aware of Xu Chenglin's reaction, and opened his fist with a smile, revealing several medium-grade spirit stones in it.
"What is this for, what are you doing handing the spirit stone in front of me?"
Xu Chenglin felt strange about the thin man's behavior, and looked at him with curious eyes.
"Hahahaha! To be honest, I was walking behind Daoist friends just now, and suddenly I saw a few spirit stones on the road. It was expected that it should have been dropped by Daoyou, so I came to look for Daoyou. ”
Xu Chenglin was a little stunned, he thought that this thin monk would trouble him, and he thought that the thin monk would openly do it, but he never thought that the thin man would come to do this.
"What does he want to do? Is he really here to give me the spirit stone? This spirit stone will not be manipulated by him? Or as long as I accept the spirit stone, he will shout for someone to rob the spirit stone? Or is it ......"
Just for a moment, a lot of thoughts flashed through Xu Chenglin's mind. But for some reason, a joke that was widely circulated among the mundane quietly appeared in his mind. That joke has nothing to do with spirit stones, but with silver. Xu Chenglin still remembers that when he first heard this joke, he laughed for several days. He still remembers that the joke was like this.
A scholar meets a woman
Raw beauty,I want to find a chance to go and talk.。 But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of any suitable opportunities. In his anxiety, he saw his money bag at a glance. So he slapped his thigh and thought about it. He grabbed his purse and hurried to the woman. While running and shouting, the young lady in front of you stopped, did you drop something? Hearing that she had dropped something, the woman turned her head to look. But seeing that the scholar hurriedly ran to the woman, he handed over his money bag with a smile on his face. The scholar asked in the woman's puzzled gaze, did you drop this money bag, Miss? The woman was stunned for a moment, and looked at the scholar's expression and roughly understood what was going on. She smiled mischievously, and unceremoniously grabbed the money bag into her own hands. smiled happily at the scholar, and replied very simply that it was mine. Then the woman left happily, leaving the scholar stunned for a long time and did not react.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Xu Chenglin felt that what he was experiencing now was similar to this joke. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and felt that it was okay to be flexible and follow the woman's approach in the joke.
The smile in Xu Chenglin's eyes flashed, and he grabbed several spirit stones in the thin man's hand. He laughed, then spoke aloud.
"Thank you, senior brother, this spirit stone is mine. ”
When Xu Chenglin said this, he immediately made the thin monk a little stunned. According to his thoughts, Xu Chenglin would most likely not take these spirit stones. Someone in another sect took the spirit stone and asked if you had dropped it, and at this time, as long as it was a normal person, he would tell the truth. If you tell a lie, once you are found out, you will not only damage your reputation, but also implicate the reputation of your sect. If you really admit that you have dropped the spirit stone, then maybe you will have to go and investigate.
The task of the thin man and the fat man is to try to make trouble for Xu Chenglin. They prevented the people at the trading office from selling things to Xu Chenglin as a way to get him into trouble. Letting Xu Chenglin get into trouble is also a way to get him into trouble. It's also looking for trouble, which one is not looking for. Previously, the fat man went to the trading office to say hello, which was to block Xu Chenglin's transaction again. And he followed Xu Chenglin just to quietly find other trouble for Xu Chenglin. found that Xu Chenglin was not easy to follow, so he came up with a plan to use spirit stones to find some trouble for Xu Chenglin. But he didn't expect that Xu Chenglin's reaction was beyond his expectations.
It was only a few breaths before the thin monk reflected. He just wanted to make trouble about Xu Chenglin's taking the spirit stone, but he didn't expect Xu Chenglin's response to arrive first. I only heard Xu Chenglin speak louder, so loud that it attracted the attention of pedestrians on the road.
"Hahaha! The Phantom Spirit Sect is worthy of being the leading sect in the Fengyun Continent! The quality of this monk is really high. I just accidentally dropped a few spirit stones, but I didn't expect this senior brother to send them to me at a trot. It is said that there is no true love in the cultivation world, but I am not. Today in the Phantasmal Cult, I felt the friendship between fellow monks. Daoist friend Gaoyi, please accept a certain family!"
The pedestrians on the road didn't pay attention to Xu Chenglin and the thin monk, but after hearing Xu Chenglin's words, they all cast curious glances at the two. In line with the psychology of being lively and not getting together, some pedestrians on the road suddenly stopped and commented on the two of them.
"The friendship between fellow monks, will there be such a thing?"
"Do you believe that? I guess it must have been for some other purpose. ”
"Listening to what that person said, it seemed to be a matter of picking up the spirit stone and returning it. There is very little such thing as the return of things to their original owners in the mortal world nowadays, but I didn't expect it to happen in our Phantom Church anymore. Is it really for the friendship between the monks, as he said?"
"Don't think about it! there shouldn't be many spirit stones, if it's a bag of spirit stones, I guess there won't be such a thing as returning!"
"This is hype! That thin monk deliberately wanted to take advantage of this incident to gain a reputation of noble character!"
"You said that this thin monk has a problem with his brain. ”
"If you change it, it's too late to pick up the spirit stone and collect it yourself, and you won't return it. Really, returning the spirit stone may not necessarily mean that someone is good, but someone must say that you are stupid absolutely. ”
Listening to the opinions of the crowd, the thin monk's heart was full of resentment. He felt that not only did he not calculate Xu Chenglin, but he was calculated.
Looking at Xu Chenglin angrily, the thin monk felt aggrieved. The order he got was to secretly cause trouble to Xu Chenglin, so he didn't dare to conflict with Xu Chenglin openly. So this dumb loss, he can only swallow it himself. The thin monk took a deep breath, and finally managed to suppress his anger. His angry eyes instantly became kind, and he nodded lightly with a smile on his face.
Actively ignoring the change in the thin monk's eyes, Xu Chenglin smiled and spoke.
"Thanks to this senior brother this time, he will definitely thank him well in the future. It's just that this time I still have important matters, so I won't bother my brother too much. If nothing else, I will say goodbye to my brother. ”
The anger that the thin monk finally suppressed was almost jumped by Xu Chenglin again. He barely suppressed his anger and nodded silently.
Seeing this, Xu Chenglin laughed and turned around and continued to walk towards the remote place. As if muttering to himself, Xu Chenglin whispered when he turned around.
"And such a fool, who actually sent the spirit stone to my hands. Such a fool, just give me more. If I had to put it in a number, I would say give me a dozen. ”
Xu Chenglin's voice was small, but maybe this was what he thought. His whispering was enough for the thin monk to hear clearly.
The thin monk listened to Xu Chenglin's words, his eyes flashed again and again, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently. He stood stunned and didn't react for a long time. It wasn't until Xu Chenglin's figure disappeared that he spit out two words fiercely.
"Shameless!"
Putting down these two words,
The thin monk turned his head to look at the road. At this time, the monks who were judgmental were gone. The pedestrians on the road have changed a group of people. Also, after watching the excitement, of course everyone left. If we still get together, maybe something will happen. There is a way that if you don't leave after watching the excitement, you will definitely be closed afterwards.
"No! I'm going to follow that guy!"
Suddenly awakened, the thin monk hurriedly turned his head to look at the remote place. At this moment, how could there still be Xu Chenglin's figure there.
"It's broken!
With a bad voice in his heart, the thin monk ran to the middle of nowhere, regardless of the others. But there, he didn't find Xu Chenglin. In fact, this is also normal, the mountain gate where the Phantom Cult is located is already on a mountain peak with dense vegetation. All kinds of tall spiritual wood mountains are everywhere, and there are not a few trees that can cover their figures. It is simply normal for a person to disappear in such an environment.
At this time, the thin monk didn't dare to release his divine sense to investigate directly. In a place like the Phantom Sect, there are people cultivating everywhere. If one accidentally disturbs someone else's cultivation, it must be a big trouble. If you let yourself get into trouble just to make trouble for Xu Chenglin, it's not worth it. It was precisely because he thought of this, even though he was anxious, the thin monk did not rashly release his divine sense to look for Xu Chenglin's traces.
Xu Chenglin had long understood that the thin monk did not dare to find out the matter, so everything he did was fearless. Besides, even if the thin monk dared to find out the matter, he was not afraid. After all, this thin monk's cultivation is lower than him, and although he can't kill him in the Phantom Sect, he can still beat him hard. When the time comes, find an excuse and say that it will be over when the discussion is heavy. Because of Xu Chenglin's identity as a monk of Jiuhua Academy, the Phantom Sect would not say anything. At most, it is similar to Lin Zhiru's situation, ushering in waves of challenges.
With the help of the cover of the environment, Xu Chenglin directly cast a spell to change his appearance and aura. As for the costumes of the Phantom Sect, please! This is the Phantom Sect, and the costumes of their sect couldn't be easier to find.
Looking at the direction, Xu Chenglin walked towards the trading office with a new look. Along the way, passers-by didn't pay much attention to his unfamiliar face. After all, it is an illusion cult, and it is normal for monks to not be familiar with each other. Nowadays, even in some small and medium-sized sects, this situation is also very common. The cultivation of monks is always accompanied by loneliness. Cultivation has reached a high and profound level, and it is even more of a retreat, which is often measured in months and years. Even if you know each other well, you will be unfamiliar if you don't contact each other for a long time, let alone someone who has only met a few times.
When he came to the trading office, Xu Chenglin easily bought the things he needed. He had already decided to leave, but when he looked back, he saw that the fat monk who had come in advance had not left. With a roll of his eyes, Xu Chenglin suddenly thought about it.
He smiled coldly and walked towards the fat man's position. Walking up to the fat man, Xu Chenglin's face had been replaced with an expression of humility seeking advice. Ignoring the fact that the fat monk was still explaining to a monk, he reached out and patted the fat man on the shoulder.
The figure was staggered, and the fat monk was immediately angry. He spun around sharply, and there was a shout.
"Who's going to be full, isn't it! Who's pushing me for what?"
Xu Chenglin smiled and hugged his fist at the fat monk. It's just that the fist he picked up was a little closer to the fat man's eyes, and it actually frightened the fat monk to take a step back.
"Dare to ask Senior Brother? Are we not accepting any foreign sect monks? I see that there are many foreign sect monks in this trading place, are we not accepting them?"
The fat monk wanted to be angry, but when he heard the offending person ask this question, he suppressed the anger in his heart. He took a portrait out of his storage bag and showed it directly to the people around him. Xu Chenglin could see clearly that the portrait was exactly what he looked like, and there were some words on it to record his background identity.
"No, we're mainly targeting him. As for the others, I don't bother to care about you. ”
After the fat man showed it to everyone, he quickly put away the portrait.
Xu Chenglin nodded, but suddenly leaned into the fat monk's ear and asked in a low voice.
"I know a little bit about this person, I heard that this person is extremely good with our sect Chen Luoxue, and he seems to have some holidays with Bai Haoming. The Bai family and the Zhao family secretly dealt with him, didn't they take into account the people behind Chen Luoxue? This Bai family dealt with him reasonably, why did the Zhao family also get involved? If we deal with him so blatantly, won't we cause any trouble?"
When the fat monk heard the question, his eyes narrowed. He tilted his head and looked Xu Chenglin's changed appearance up and down. After a long time, the fat monk nodded thoughtfully.
"My brother can't see it, it's a person in the know. Since you know what is going on in the Bai family, you should understand what happened to my sect's Qi Condensing Cultivator Zhongzhou last time. As for what happened, I don't think I need to say anything more. As for the person behind Chen Luoxue you asked, he is now in retreat. Moreover, the open and secret battles between monks of the same level are actually acquiesced in by various sects. What do we need to take care of, you say?"
The fat monk finally asked rhetorically, and Xu Chenglin also pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
Xu Chenglin's reaction suddenly gave the fat man a great sense of accomplishment in his heart. Xu Chenglin kindly reminded the fat monk that it was time to leave, and the fat monk also reacted and thanked him with a smile.
Looking at the figure of the fat man leaving, Xu Chenglin chose to leave from the other direction. As he walked, he thought to himself.
"It seems that what I thought was correct before! If you continue to stay in the Phantom Cult, the situation will only get worse. ”
At this moment, Xu Chenglin already had the idea of leaving the Phantom Spirit Sect.
