Chapter 184: Agree on a contest
"Luo Tianjin, you ......"
"I'm just doing the right thing for heaven, the Lord of the Qin Mansion and Eighth Master Pan don't have to thank me. This person is a thief, full of nonsense, and has been suffering from Yingchuan all the year round, bullying and dominating the market, and doing all kinds of evil. In my opinion, everything was because of this person making trouble behind his back, and when he failed to seize the foundation of the Pan family, he tried to kill Pan Wu, and then he was afraid that the East Window Incident would happen, so he made up indiscriminately, slandered the Qin clan in Hexi as the mastermind behind the scenes, and even found someone to pretend to be Qin Tianjiu to cover up people's eyes and ears. ”
Qin Ming hadn't questioned yet, and Luo Tianjin had already explained lightly. Turning to wave lightly at Li Laohu's corpse, Liu Xunyi hurriedly ordered Liao Chuan and Liao Hai to carry the corpse out of the meditation room.
"Amitabha, sins and sins!" Xuan Ming clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, with a bit of compassion on his face.
"Lord Luofu. Qin Ming forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "If you kill this person now, won't you die without proof?"
Luo Tianjin's deep eyes looked straight at Qin Ming, and said with a smile: "Now that the truth has been revealed, and the culprit has atoned for his crimes with death, what else does the Qin Mansion Lord want to testify? Could it be that the Qin Mansion Lord is still insisting that this matter was deliberately framed by Pan Baye?"
"There is a possibility ......"
Qin Da subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but only halfway through his words, he was choked back by Luo Tianjin's unangry and self-threatening gaze. Seeing this, Qin Ming immediately reprimanded: "Shut up! When will it be your turn to speak here?" No matter how big or small, why don't you hurry up and make amends to the Lord of Luofu!"
"I ......"
"That's it!" Luo Tianjin waved his hand casually and smiled at Qin Ming: "Pan Wu was poisoned, and everyone in Yingchuan knows about it. Even if Pan Baye wanted to frame him, he would never use his son's life to make a bet. What's more, Pan Wu is still the best person in the Pan family's martial arts. Without him, the Pan family is like cutting off their arms, how can they cope with the battle of tomorrow?"
Seeing that Luo Tianjin was so protective of Pan Chuba, Qin Ming was extremely annoyed. At the same time, he also knew that if he continued to stalemate, not only would he not be able to make things difficult for the Pan family, but he might also have extraneous branches and affect the ten-year war.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Ming thought about it again, was this scene just now deliberately designed by Luo Tianjin and Pan Chuba? The purpose was to force himself to play on the topic and not to give up. In this way, Pan Chuba had an excuse to delay the battle, and even ...... Repudiation.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming's eyes suddenly moved, and when he looked at Luo Tianjin and Pan Chuba, a touch of cold color inadvertently welled up. Secretly said: "You guys joined forces to be bait, trying to lure me into the bait, but I didn't let you get lucky." ”
After thinking about it, Qin Ming's face softened a little, and he took a deep look at Pan Chuba, who was dazed, and said lightly: "Since the lord of the Luo Mansion has corrected the culprit on the spot, Qin will naturally not pursue it again." I can take the farce just now as a misunderstanding. I only hope that Pan Baye, if you want to do anything in the future, please be sure to think twice before acting, so as not to harm others and yourself!"
was sneered at by Qin Ming, Pan Chuba's old face changed color for a while, but he didn't say anything to refute it. In any case, Luo Tianjin came forward to save his life and face, and Pan Chuba was reasonable, so naturally he would not make any more troubles and ask for trouble.
It's just that in the matter of Yingchuan, the Pan family did suffer a big loss, but with the current situation, Pan Chuba can only "eat Coptis chinensis dumbly".
"If there are no other objections, please agree on tomorrow as soon as possible. Xuan Ming took advantage of the situation and said, "In the back mountain of Shaolin, there is a Manjushri Dharma field, with a radius of 100 zhang and bluestone paving, which is the place where my Shaolin disciples hold a puja in the Buddha bathing season. Today, I temporarily borrow it from Qin Shi and Pan Shi to help you turn war into jade silk as soon as possible, which can also be regarded as a merit. Lord Qin and his entourage can rest in the temple tonight. Because there is a female dependent in the entourage of Lord Pan Shi, it is inconvenient to stay in the temple, and please stay in the Guanyin Temple in the back mountain tonight, and the old man has already ordered someone to clean up the place. ”
"There is Master Lao Xuanming!" everyone thanked in unison.
"The old man was invited to preside over tomorrow's martial arts competition, and he should abide by fairness. Xuan Ming continued, "Dare to ask Master Qin and Master Pan, who will you send to compete tomorrow?"
Qin Ming glanced at Pan Chuba, who had a solemn face, and sneered: "Eighth Master Pan, you can rest assured, Qin will not take action in person, lest people say that I am a bully." In the battle of tomorrow, the Qin clan sent Qin Tianjiu, Qin Er, and Qin San to fight. ”
"What?" As soon as these words came out, Luo Tianjin's and Pan Chuba's faces changed suddenly, and Luo Tianjin said suspiciously: "The Lord of the Qin Mansion really plans to send Qin Tianjiu to play?"
"Why not?" Qin Ming said indifferently, "As we all know, my Qin family is limited by the destiny of heaven and has been affected for generations. No one of the children of the Qin family can live past the age of sixty. This may be related to our hard practice of the 'Red Fire Knife Technique', which is yang and lacks yin, overflowing fire and less water, so that qi wins over blood deficiency, yin and yang are out of harmony, so it is difficult to prolong life. Now, only by harmonizing the yin and yang of the 'Red Fire Scroll' and the 'Xuanshui Scroll' can we solve this fate. Uncle Nine is over fifty years old, and the destiny of heaven is approaching, how can he not go into battle in person and fight for a way to live for himself?"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi suddenly thought of Pan Wu, who had a strange temperament and was full of anger. Secretly said: "Since the 'Red Fire Scroll' is prosperous and the yin is declining, then the 'Xuanshui Scroll' should be the yin and the yang is declining." It is difficult to live past the age of sixty only by practicing the 'Red Fire Scroll', and it is not long to practice the 'Xuanshui Scroll'. Thinking back to the second master of the Pan family, although he is young, he looks more vicissitudes than his eldest brother Pan Wen, which is the result of practicing the 'Xuanshui Scroll'. And the reason why the Pan family is not as short-lived as the Qin family is because Pan Baye abolished his martial arts and did not allow future generations to learn the 'Xuanshui Scroll', so he was lucky enough to avoid this catastrophe. Thinking about it this way, it may not be a good thing to only get the 'Red Fire Upper Scroll' or the 'Xuanshui Lower Scroll' without practicing another volume. No wonder the mansion master reacted so coldly to the fact that Pan Baye wanted to give away the 'Xuanshui Scroll', it turned out that he had already thought of this section, and knew that even if he got the 'Xuanshui Scroll', he would definitely not practice. ”
After thinking about it, Liu Xunyi subconsciously looked at Luo Tianjin, and the admiration in his eyes was even stronger.
"Qin Tianjiu is a martial arts senior, how can the Pan family have a chance of winning if he makes a move?" Murong Bai was angry and said coldly.
"There are already winners and losers in martial arts competitions, if the Pan family has a chance of winning, won't my Qin family be defeated?" Qin Tianjiu said slowly, his voice like a jackal, gloomy and hoarse.
"Not bad!" Qin Ming echoed, "The competition should be based on their own ability, and they should be willing to gamble and lose." ”
"You ......"
"Ahem. Without waiting for Lin Fang to open his mouth to refute indignantly, Xuan Ming suddenly coughed lightly twice, and then asked Pan Chuba, "Master Pan, I don't know who the Pan family will send to fight?"
Pan Chuba was angry in his heart, his face was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "My grandson Pan Yun, my son-in-law He Hu and ......" As for this, Pan Chuba turned his complicated gaze to Liu Xunyi, and said quite bitterly, "My grandson-in-law, Liu Xunyi." ”
"What?" This time it was the turn of the Qin family to be surprised, especially Qin Da, who stared at a pair of suspicious and frightened tiger eyes, stared directly at Liu Xunyi, and said in astonishment: "Liu Xunyi, you...... When did you become the grandson-in-law of the Pan family?"
Qin Ming raised his eyebrows and wondered, "What's wrong?"
"The lord of the mansion doesn't know, this Liu Xunyi was once ......in the Jiangnan Lu Mansion" Qin Da hurriedly leaned forward and whispered quickly in Qin Ming's ear, telling Qin Ming all the news about Liu Xunyi.
After Qin Ming heard this, he couldn't help but show a hint of scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Liu Xunyi. When Qin Da got up, Qin Ming frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Are you from the Xianwang Mansion?"
"Yes. Liu Xunyi replied, "But it's also Pan Baye's grandson-in-law." ”
Qin Ming turned his displeased gaze to Luo Tianjin, and asked in a wordy manner: "Lord Luo, I know that you have always been friends with the Pan family, but I also know that King Beixian has always been upright and upright. But you never expected that you would use such a means today? It seems that ...... It's not a gentleman's doing, is it?"
Luo Tianjin pretended to be innocent, shook his head and smiled: "The lord of the Qin Mansion misunderstood, Liu Xunyi and Pan Yuyin were in love, and they had a feast in Yingchuan before, and they got married. These are the private affairs of their young people, how can we, as elders, interfere too much?"
"That's good!" Pan Chuba answered, "Yuyin and Xunyi have known each other for a long time, and I have long recognized him as his grandson-in-law." At that time, the search for clothes had not yet entered the Xian Wang's mansion. Therefore, Xunyi is the son-in-law of the Pan family first, and he becomes a disciple of the Xianwang Mansion later. What's more, now that he and my granddaughter have done a good thing, of course, they are the Pan family's own people, and they can naturally fight on behalf of the Pan family. ”
Seeing Luo Tianjin and Pan Chuba singing a harmony, Qin Ming was ashamed in his heart, but he didn't argue too much.
Qin Ming knew that since Pan Chuba was determined to let Liu Xunyi fight, no matter how many doubts he pointed out, Pan Chuba would be cheeky and prevaricate one by one. As for Liu Xunyi and Pan Yuyin, what is going on, how can Qin Ming, as an outsider, know? In the end, they are not allowed to make up nonsense by Pan Chuba? Even if Pan Chuba insists that they are baby relatives who are married in the belly, I am afraid that no one will be able to verify the authenticity?
Moreover, Qin Ming looked down on Liu Xunyi from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that he was young and had shallow qualifications, he didn't take it to heart. In addition, with Qin Tianjiu in charge tomorrow, Qin Ming will have no leisure and leisure, and he must go to the baht.
"Master Qin, do you have any objections?"
Facing Xuan Ming's inquiry, Qin Ming just snorted lightly, but did not answer.
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Since the people of the Pan and Qin families have been decided, then tomorrow and the beginning of the day, they will compete in the Manjushri Dharma field. According to the agreement, the winner will be eligible to receive the 'Xuanshui Scroll'. So you will go back and rest for a while......"
"Wait a minute!"
Without waiting for Xuan Ming to finish, Qin Ming suddenly spoke: "Since we are going to compete for the 'Xuanshui Scroll' tomorrow, should Senior Pan hand over the 'Xuanshui Scroll' first? lest there be a lot of prevarication tomorrow if we are defeated." ”
"This ......"
"I'm not selfish. Qin Ming added, "Master Xuanming is a high-ranking monk, fair and strict, and does not hide selfishness. It is better to hand over the 'Xuanshui Scroll' to the master for safekeeping, and then he will hand over the scroll after the winner is determined tomorrow. I don't know what Senior Pan thinks?"
"This method is good! fair!" Qin Da hurriedly responded.
"That makes sense!" Qin Tianjiuyin laughed a few times. After that, he also glanced at Pan Chuba suspiciously, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Pan Baye can't even believe Master Xuanming?"
"This ......" Pan Chuba hesitated again and again, and turned his hesitant gaze to Luo Tianjin. Seeing that Luo Tianjin thought about it for a while, and then nodded slightly, Pan Chu Bafang made up his mind and said, "Okay! I will hand over the 'Xuanshui Scroll' to Master Xuanming for safekeeping, so as not to make any more irresponsible remarks." ”
After that, Pan Chuba took out a one-foot-square wooden box from his carry-on luggage, and the 'Xuanshui Scroll' was hidden in it. Seeing this, Qin Ming, Qin Da, and Qin Tianjiu's eyes burst out with excitement at the same time.
"The Xuanshui volume is the only one, and Master Xuanming is also asked to keep it carefully. Pan Chuba reluctantly handed over the wooden box to Xuan Ming. Xuan Ming opened the box in public to inspect it, and after confirming that it was correct, he locked and sealed the wooden box to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to watch and copy it.
"Master Pan Shi rest assured!" Xuan Ming said, "After the old man sealed this volume, he temporarily stored it in the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion. There is a forbidden place in Shaolin, there are four great monks of the Dharma Academy day and night guard, no one in the world can enter uninvited, and this volume is guaranteed to be foolproof. ”
