Chapter 19 Death is more than innocent
On the mountainside, Xu Cheng looked at the sky and was distracted.
He couldn't remember when he joined Hanyumen, maybe sixteen, or seventeen.
His qualifications are not very good, he only became an inner disciple ten years after entering the Hanyu Sect, and then it took nearly ten years to become a personal disciple, and only he knows the hardships.
After dying of his fellow disciples, he became a disciple of the family as he wished, and he also got the Tsukidan as he wished, but he still failed in the end!
Failure means abandonment, and no sect will use the precious foundation to cultivate losers.
But he was not reconciled!
In Qingshan Mansion, the total number of Qi cultivation peaks of various sects and families is close to a thousand, but there are less than a hundred foundation building cultivators.
A foundation building monk, not only has a qualitative change in strength, but even the lifespan is much longer than that of a qi cultivation monk, and if he is not a foundation building monk, even if he is a senior brother of Hanyumen, he will not be able to get on the stage after all.
Therefore, he borrowed Zhu Mu's hand to kill Li Ran, hoping to be given to Zhuji Dan by his master again.
thought that everything was going well, but Zhou Teng's appearance alerted him, and then everything, Zhou Teng escaped assassination, and his amazing talent in calligraphy and poetry made him conclude that Zhou Teng was the person specially found by the head and the great elder, which made him have a deep sense of crisis.
But why did Zhang Yunhai die?
It is not difficult to guess the identity of the assassin last night, it is the two peaks of Qi cultivation under Zhu Mu, Li Qianjiang and Hou Yan.
Zhang Yunhai is his own person, and Zhu Mu knows it, but why Zhang Yunhai appeared in Zhou Teng's room, and he is suspected of being killed by Li Hou and the others, this makes people think deeply.
After that, Zhou Teng was taken away by the head and elders, and all the disciples avoided him, which made him feel like he was on pins and needles.
"Big brother. ”
At this moment, a disciple came in and bowed, it was Liu Yingjie.
"Is there something wrong?" Xu Cheng asked with a frown.
Liu Yingjie approached and bowed again: "Senior brother, Senior Brother Zhou wants to see you, let you go to the back mountain to find him." ”
Xu Cheng's eyes froze, "Is the head of the sect or the elders also there?"
He had to worry about what Zhou Teng knew, and even told his master.
Liu Yingjie shook his head, "Senior Brother Zhou is alone." ”
Xu Cheng was silent and replied: "Well, I know, you go and get busy." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother. Liu Yingjie bowed and left.
After standing for a long time, Xu Cheng stepped away and walked towards the back mountain.
Bihan Xiaozhu, Zhou Teng sat cross-legged in the courtyard with his eyes closed, and a sword was placed on the stone table in front of him.
Xu Cheng came, his pace was gentle, his face was full of smiles, and he was extremely kind.
Zhou Teng opened his eyes, looked at him, still sat cross-legged, and shouted in a stiff tone, "Senior brother." ”
Xu Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, pushed open the courtyard door with only half of the door left, walked in, and asked with a smile: "Senior brother looking for me, what's the matter?"
"Senior brother, please take a seat. ”
Zhou Teng was not cold and made a gesture of please.
Xu Cheng was a little surprised, but he was still full of smiles on the surface, shook his robe, sat down according to his words, and then chuckled: "Senior brother, you can talk about it now." ”
Zhou Teng stood up and picked up the sword on the stone table, "Senior brother, what do you think of my sword?"
Xu Cheng's eyes were slightly downcast, pretending to look at the sword body carefully, and said thoughtfully: "This sword is called Qiushui, it is made of star steel, and the iron is like mud and hair, it was purchased by me and Uncle Zhai from outside Qingshan Mansion three years ago, at that time, a total of five such swords were bought, each worth three spirit stones, and you are one of them." ”
Zhou Teng nodded: "Senior brother has a good memory, and he can remember this little thing." ”
Xu Cheng smiled, "This is not a trivial matter, as the second life of a monk, the importance of weapons is self-evident, our Hanyumen has a feud with the Huoyun Sect, and the Huoyun Sect, as the only sect of Qingshan Mansion, will naturally not sell weapons to us, so we have to go to Qingshan Mansion to purchase weapons, which is a matter of life and death for our Hanyumen." ”
Zhou Teng praised again: "Senior brother deserves to be a senior brother." ”
Before the words fell, the sword light in his hand flashed, and the Qiushui sword burst out, as fast as thunder, stabbing at Xu Cheng.
"Senior Brother Zhou!"
Xu Cheng had been on guard for a long time, but he didn't expect Zhou Teng to be so bold and do it directly.
His figure flashed, the spiritual power under his feet was agitated, and he retreated quickly, but the sword light always hung in front of him like a shadow, and the sword burst out, stabbing his cheeks with pain, and the chill made him sweat coldly.
"Monk Tsuki!"
Xu Cheng was shocked and frightened, this fierce sword momentum, as well as the spiritual power strength that burst out of Zhou Teng's body, was definitely a power that only a foundation building monk could have.
The spiritual power under his feet skyrocketed, and he fled frantically, but the sword always enveloped him, forcing him under the plane tree.
"Senior Brother Zhou, stop!"
Xu Cheng's figure staggered, and he couldn't retreat, so he hurriedly spoke.
Zhou Teng stopped at the right time, chuckled, the sword light deviated a few points, and with a random split, with a "boom", the originally bare plane tree trunk exploded directly and scattered all around.
Xu Cheng's face was extremely pale, and he stood in place, staring at Zhou Teng deadly, "You are a foundation building monk!"
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Teng nodded, put the sword on the ground, and looked at Xu Cheng with both hands, "Actually, I was already a foundation building monk before I entered the Cold Jade Gate, but I used a secret method to hide my cultivation. ”
Seeing him admit it, Xu Cheng's heart can be described as overturned, both jealous and extremely jealous.
Zhang Yunhai's death alerted him, Zhou Teng wanted to see him, and he also understood that it would never be simple, but he never thought that the other party was actually a foundation building monk.
"He shouldn't know that Zhang Yunhai is my person, otherwise he would have killed me just now!"
Xu Cheng quickly calmed down, he calmed down, regained his smile, and looked at Zhou Teng with some reproach, "Senior Brother Zhou, it's so hard for you to hide from me!"
Zhou Teng said apologetically: "There is a reason for the incident, I hope the senior brother will understand, this time I invited the senior brother to come, just hoping that the senior brother can cooperate with me to kill Zhu Mu." ”
"Kill Zhu Mu!" Xu Cheng was shocked again.
"Hmm. Zhou Teng didn't say much, took out a jade plate from his arms and threw it to Xu Cheng, "This is the jade plate that the Great Elder gave you, you will understand after reading it." ”
Xu Cheng took it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and after reading it, he suddenly raised his head and was stunned: "You are Zha Gongzi!"
Zhou Teng bowed his head and admitted it directly.
Xu Cheng still didn't come to his senses, this jade disc had the spiritual power mark of the Great Elder, and it was absolutely impossible to pretend to be, but the content of the jade disc surprised him.
According to Jade Saucer, Zhou Teng was the illegitimate son of Zha Hui, the head of Qingshan Mansion, and it was under the pretext of looking for a civet cat that he came to Hanyumen to become a personal disciple, the purpose of which was to assist Hanyumen in fighting against the Huoyun Sect.
Xu Cheng was convinced of this, he had suspected it when Zhou Teng first came to Hanyumen, but he didn't expect that the situation inside was even more complicated than he imagined.
Mu Yuanzi instructed in the jade plate to let him take Zhou Teng as the leader and cooperate with Zhou Teng to go to Vientiane Cave Heaven to break the marriage between the two factions.
But he didn't find the answer he was looking for in the jade plate, raised his head, and asked: "I can understand that the Great Elder asked me to help you break the marriage, but why did you kill Zhu Mu?" There is no indication in the Great Elder's jade plate, and I think you know his identity, if you don't explain it, even if your father is the head of the city, I won't help you." ”
After regaining his composure, Xu Cheng quickly put himself in the position of Senior Brother of Hanyumen, and what he asked was also the question he was most concerned about.
Zhou Teng admired Xu Cheng's calmness a little, and asked rhetorically: "Presumably Senior Brother will not forget Senior Brother Li Ran." ”
Xu Cheng looked puzzled, "What does this have to do with Senior Brother Li?"
Zhou Teng: "Senior brother is benevolent, but why pretend to be confused, it has long been rumored in the Hanyu Gate that Senior Brother Li Ran was killed by Zhu Mu, I believe that Senior Brother has already heard of it." ”
Xu Cheng was silent and nodded.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Teng said again: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, the people who came here to assassinate last night were none other than the two peak Qi cultivation Li Qianjiang and Hou Yan under Zhu Mu. ”
"That's true!" Xu Cheng pretended to be surprised.
"There is no lie. ”
Zhou Teng's jaw headed, "Senior brother doesn't know, in fact, I was assassinated by Zhu Mu when I first arrived at Hanyumen two years ago, and it was Zhang Yunhai who reported the news, and this Yunhai was Zhu Mu's undercover agent in Hanyumen." ”
"There is such a thing!"
Speaking of Zhang Yunhai, Xu Cheng was shocked, but when he heard Zhou Teng say that Zhang Yunhai was Zhu Mu's undercover agent, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Teng told Zhang Yunhai's attitude and astonishing coincidences when he was assassinated on the night two years ago.
After hearing this, Xu Cheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he said with hatred: "This sea of clouds is really innocent, and he dares to collude with others to murder his own disciples!"
