Chapter 367: Extraneous Branches

"That's how it happened. ”

In Chu Yiming's study, Jiang Feng leaned on the back of the Taishi chair alone, and told Bai Ruoxi-related things from beginning to end, and there were only three people in the audience here:

Chu Yilin, the head of the Chu family, Jiang Feng's friend Chu Yiming, and Chu Wenyin, among which Chu Wenyin was the first to arrive, and she was also the first person to "capture" Bai Ruoxi, if it weren't for Jiang Feng's reliance on the "Heart Lock Jade Finger" Quickly teleported to Chu Yiming's study, and arrived at the scene in time, Xiao Luo, who was disguised as Bai Ruoxi, was already about to make a move with Chu Wenyin, of course, the reason why he didn't move for a long time was Jiang Feng's explanation, asking Xiao Luo to delay as much as possible, not to make trouble, it was best to secretly flee after showing up and proving that he was okay, but unfortunately it backfired, and she was targeted by Chu Wenyin as soon as she appeared, on the other hand, it was also the result of Chu Wenyin's deliberate restraint, she didn't want to cause any trouble at Chu Yiming's wedding banquet.

If you really start to do it, it will definitely cause an uproar, although Xiao Luo's ability to possess himself is clever, but it must not be able to deceive all the monks here, and when the effective time passes, Sun Baotai will become a skirt, then the matter will be serious, fortunately, just a few breaths ago, this situation happened, at this time, it was Sun Baotai who collapsed to the ground, not Bai Ruoxi.

The machine spirit Xiao Luo returned to the "Silver Spirit Dagger", Jiang Feng put it away in public, and looked at the three people in front of him at the same time.

"In other words, Bai Ruoxi didn't know why she suddenly fainted beside you?" Chu Yilin thought thoughtfully, Jiang Feng's description was not complicated, but she still didn't understand the reason why this happened.

"Yes, I just said a word to her, and she suddenly fell unconscious, and in my sense, there were not many monks nearby at that time, and they must have been guests who had come to your mansion for a banquet. ”

"Then where is she now? Her clothes, why are they on top of this corpse? Is it your hand?" It was Chu Wenyin who asked, she squatted down, looked through the corpse, and found that the monk's face was unfamiliar, she didn't know it, and, judging from the stiff touch, she should have been dead for a long time.

"I was also for self-preservation, worried that someone would design an assassination and disrupt tonight's wedding banquet, so I used this corpse to replace Bai Ruoxi, and at that time, I had an urgent matter to do, so I had to leave temporarily. ”

"Can you reveal it?"

Chu Wenyin was very suspicious of this, she recalled the situation when Bai Ruoxi and Jiang Feng first met and called each other "lewd and evil people", and said in her heart, the head of the Qianshan Sect, could not have any special habits, so that she set her eyes on the young and beautiful Bai Ruoxi, but thinking about this probability, what kind of habit will cause him to make a monkey rash regardless of the occasion, and with his close relationship with Chu Yiming, it is impossible to make trouble today.

"I'm sorry, no. ”

Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't say the agreement with Xiao Mingzhen in advance, as well as the details of going to the Xiao family ancestral hall, but he remembered Xiao Mingzhen's explanation, so he said frankly, "I have already found someone to send her to the 'Xiaoxiang Pavilion' to live temporarily, I believe she will wake up soon and return home on her own." From what I saw on the way, she must have fallen under a curse, and I don't know if it was caused by the talisman or other means, but she suddenly became delirious and tore her clothes halfway through, so I had to put a talisman on her to stop it for the time being. I suspect that someone is trying to make a fool of her in public. ”

"Ugly in public?"

Chu Wenyin's suspicions still did not dissipate, and he said in his heart that Jiang Feng would not really do anything like a beast, and also made up the lie that Bai Ruoxi had been cursed, with his ground-level cultivation, if he used some means, Bai Ruoxi, who was not deep in the world and only had spiritual-level cultivation, was afraid that it would be easy to be tricked, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was wrong, after all, the other party had concealed too many details.

For example, how did Jiang Feng send Bai Ruoxi to the cultivation dojo "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" safely, how could it be so coincidental that there was a carriage that could cover everything parked there, saying that there was no preparation in advance, and no one would believe it. Of course, this may be related to the urgent matter he was going to do, but he always felt that a lot of details were missing, for example, why did he come out of Chu Yiming's study, it stands to reason that when he returns to the Chu Mansion after finishing his work, he should also enter from outside the door.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Feng again with suspicious eyes, but she couldn't call the shots about the matter here, after all, Chu Yilin was the head of the Chu family.

"Who is this monk?" Chu Yilin spoke, pointing to Sun Baotai, who was wearing a skirt on the ground, and people couldn't bear to look at him directly.

"Sun Baotai, a prefecture-level monk of the Jincheng faction. Jiang Feng would not lie about this matter, since Bai Ruoxi's incident had happened, he believed that everyone present would not easily spread the matter here.

"You killed him?" Chu

Yi Lin had heard the name of this man, but had never seen it.

"Yes, it took a lot of work. ”

Jiang Feng replied truthfully, he also stood up and put Sun Baotai into the storage bag again, he wanted to peel off this skirt, but thinking about the current environment, it is still not suitable, and this skirt must not be returned, judging from the material and the gold pieces on it, this is a good mortal item, and it is commonly used by Bai Ruoxi, it should be used to infuse Horcruxes, but he will never wear this thing, he plans to make this thing into a Horcrux and hand it over to Xiao Luo, at least after possessing the body, he can have one more skill out of thin air, and the combat power can also be one more guarantee。

Chu Yilin was silent, and it seemed difficult to make a judgment, so he looked at Chu Yiming.

"I believe in Brother Jiang. Chu Yiming said bluntly, "Although there are many things that Brother Jiang didn't say, we should believe Brother Jiang, Bai Ruoxi's matter, I don't think it's necessarily aimed at us," he analyzed, he was called from the wedding banquet in a hurry, he was also very anxious, staying here for a long time and neglecting the guests, it might cause criticism, so he was anxious to clarify this matter, instead of caring about every detail, in particular, he did believe that Jiang Feng did not mean to be rude to Bai Ruoxi," This matter, judging from the damage to interests, may be aimed at the marriage between the Bai family and the head of the Zhu family. ”

Well?

Everyone present had an extra worry in their eyes. Chu Yilin nodded silently, and then ordered, "Wen Yin, you go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion quickly and settle Bai Ruoxi's affairs, especially if you try your best to appease her emotions and don't let her talk nonsense, I'm afraid you have to go to Bai Shiduo to discuss this matter in order to have a result." Master Jiang, if you really need to, would you mind going with me to the Bai family to testify?"

"Yes. "Since he didn't solve the matter of disguising Bai Ruoxi before Chu Wenyin found out, Jiang Feng couldn't get rid of the matter when he asked himself, and stayed out of the matter, what was special was that there was no ghost in his heart, the whole thing, except for taking a set of skirts and seeing something that shouldn't be seen, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, however, he was a little worried about pulling the Xiao family in, especially in that confusion, whether Bai Ruoxi was sober or not, whether he remembered anything, he didn't know.

"However, if I need to go, I want to meet Bai Ruoxi in advance. ”

Is it a buy in advance, or is it a threat? Chu Wenyin had a thought, and then felt that she seemed to have walked into a misunderstanding, and she immediately remembered that Si Guanghao, who was forced to be in the Asshan Sect, would send letters every ten days or so, and occasionally mentioned that this young head of the family, except for the lack of distinction between public and private, and the suspicion of several wives, there seemed to be no stain, of course, Si Guanghao himself had a stain, and what he said could not be fully believed.

"Yes, I will take her to the Chu Mansion and arrange for you to meet in due course. ”

"Okay!" This is the best result, Jiang Feng secretly thought, if he asked to see Bai Ruoxi as soon as possible, I am afraid that this suspicious woman will be even more suspicious, but she can't wash it up, even if Xiao Mingzhen is accidentally involved, I believe that the Chu family will not deliberately make extraneous branches, he believes that Chu Yilin, as the head of the family, does not want to do this.

Jiang Feng left the Chu family safely like this, went out one step earlier than the guests who were about to disperse, and went straight to the inn where he was staying. Although from Xiao Mingzhen, he knew that Bai Ruoxi lived in room No. 6 of the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", but he couldn't go first, otherwise it would only increase the suspicion of the other party, not to mention that Bai Ruoxi misunderstood herself very deeply, although she didn't know where this misunderstanding came from, she was friendly with Chu Wenyin, presumably Chu Wenyin's arrival could appease the other party's emotions for the first time and rationally recall what happened before.

In this way, the night passed in a hurry, and the next day was three o'clock, and the book rarely visited, and he knew that there was a female dependent, so he did not enter Jiang Feng's guest room, but directly gave him an address.

"Here, you can see Li Dabang. The code is to take one of each of the spirit stones of each color, saying that they will buy a robe that can survive the winter. ”

Scold!

Jiang Feng smiled, he knew that only the situation book could find Li Dabang, maybe he changed himself, and he would not have thought that "being forcibly exploited and used" was also a kind of chance, but the situation of the book was not an ordinary person.

"Thanks!"

"The monkey and I, let's go to the Imperial Wind Sect first, although the Lingyong Feast is said to be safe, but if you don't make some preparations in advance, there is also a certain danger. Since Jiang Feng gave him the qualification of the "Spirit Surge Feast" and was promoted to the prefecture level, Guo Shucai's attitude towards Jiang Feng was much more respectful, however, Jiang Feng suspected that this was also the reason why he promised to fund the establishment of a loose cultivation team for a long time.

Sending away the untold situation, Jiang Feng thought for a moment, took his apprentices Jiang Chengzi and Jiang Zhiwen, and explained that Zheng Keyi would return to Zhanchuan Town after staying here for a few days

, Bai Ruoxi's matter also gave him a reminder, a female cultivator with a low cultivation level is still a little dangerous here, although this may be a hidden trick by some people, but if the fire of the city gate affects the fish in the pond, wouldn't it be sad?

At dusk, Jiang Feng arrived at the shop hidden deep in the alley mentioned in the book, the business in this neighborhood is light, or even no business at all, strolling through the afterglow of the sunset, there is always a feeling of exploring the charm of Zhenwu City through the secluded alleys.

Pretending to be casual and entering this grocery store called "Guest Come to Me", the guy who was idle behind the counter and counted the spirit stones was a middle-aged monk, a human race, about the middle realm of qi refining.

"I want to buy a robe to survive the winter. Jiang Feng took out five spirit stones, of different colors, all of them were first-order spirit stones, right now, with the goods in his storage bag, it was indeed not easy to find all kinds of first-order spirit stones, thinking of this, Jiang Feng was quite complacent.

"There is not enough money. ”

Well?

Jiang Feng was stunned. Didn't you say that it was just a code and a certificate, how could there be such a thing as "not enough money", but thinking about the other party's idle action of counting spirit stones, he still took out five second-order pieces coolly, and it was easy to get together this time.

"I said that the money was not enough. ”

The middle-aged monk raised his head this time and glanced at Jiang Feng solemnly, Jiang Feng also looked at him at the same time, but the other party did not give in because of his low cultivation.

"How much do you need to survive the winter?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask.

The man took out a thick black ledger from under the counter and flipped to the nearest page, "This is what your friend bought from us for the winter, and he said that someone would come to settle the bill soon." ”

The eye-catching is densely packed with small characters, from spirit runes to pills, consumable magic weapons, the quality is very good, and even includes a lot of non-monk supplies, at the end, there are three words signed clearly:

Situation book!

This guy, the feeling is that I will settle the account for you, Jiang Feng couldn't help but scolded angrily in his heart, but he believed that the situation book would not have no bottom line, so he asked, "Only after settling the account, can you survive the winter?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Feng could only obediently take out five third-order spirit stones, this time he didn't care if the colors were different, the code he said should be correct, but he also left a lot of debts.

"Follow me!" The guy drew a heavy line on the name of Guo Shucai, and led Jiang Feng into the inner room, which was far more spacious than imagined outside, and there were all kinds of goods piled up everywhere, densely bundled, and the guy was turning around in the goods, and finally pushed open a narrow secret door, and the stairs led straight to the ground, only the jewels inlaid on the wall flashed green, flickering bright and dim.

"Please!"

This battle looks quite bad, Jiang Feng took a deep breath, secretly alerted, there were a few more ice talismans in his sleeve, and he went down the but clean staircase, but the guy did not follow, but stayed there, seeing that Jiang Feng was gone, he gently closed the door, returned to the counter, and continued to count his spirit stones.

The stairs went down a few floors, and with Jiang Feng's perception, they had already penetrated at least seven or eight zhang underground, and the side walls were damp and cold, but they should not be able to prevent the black stone from drilling into it, which was also where Jiang Feng's confidence in daring to enter this place was the reason for Jiang Feng's confidence to dare to enter here. It's a big deal, although the "Heart Lock Jade Finger" that can be teleported with a thought location is still cooling, but there doesn't seem to be the slightest hint of a monk's breath here.

There is no breath...... Then who am I coming to see, and who are I really going to spend the winter in this mundane cellar-like place?

Thinking so, until Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of the light in front of him, and after a few quick steps, he arrived at the deepest part of the room, which was a fairly neatly arranged room, with a table of desks, tables and chairs, all available, clean and tidy, and generous, and on the desk in the middle, there was a bronze mirror three feet square.

Could it be that it depends on this?

Jiang Feng remembered the communication function of the "Thousand Miles Yin-Yang Mirror", his heart would not rely on this, the two of you and I wrote one sentence at a time, it is not impossible to think about it, after all, Li Dabang's whereabouts are uncertain, and he may not be able to find him so quickly, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is not impossible to trouble at all.

Thinking of this, he approached the bronze mirror, and was about to sacrifice his spiritual power, writing on this bronze mirror, but he felt a burst of light on the bronze mirror, and soon a vague figure appeared, it was Li Dabang, although he could tell that it was him, but the environment where he was located did not have any image at all.

"Master Jiang, we meet again. ”

The familiar voice came from the void, as if Li Dabang was at his side.
