Chapter 728: True and False
PS: Thank you for the reward of 60,000 starting coins for the most annoying name of the book friend, and congratulations on becoming the grandmaster of this book
The things on the rivers and lakes are true and false, false and true, and countless news comes every day, but for most people, it is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing.
It's like some news has come out on the rivers and lakes recently, Chu Xiu, who is in the vein of hidden demons, and the holy daughter of the Moon Worship Sect went to Longhu Mountain to snatch a fortune teller named Yuan Ji, and the result also attracted the little heavenly master Zhang Chengzhen to stop it, and the reason was that the other party calculated a treasure, a treasure hidden in the Dong family.
Some people say that this supreme treasure is a peerless sword technique in ancient legends, one of the seven limits of devouring the sky and destroying the earth, so it attracted Chu Xiu, who used the knife.
Some people also say that this supreme treasure is an innate Gu worm born from heaven and earth in ancient legends, so it is coveted by the Holy Maiden of the Lunatic Cult.
Some people even say that what the Dong family has is actually the secret book left by Lu Chunyang, the ancestor of the Daomen in the past, as for why Lu Chunyang's secret book is not in the Chunyang Daomen but in the Dong family, no one knows.
Anyway, the news is getting more and more evil, and there are all kinds of things, and this matter is not made up, but there are countless witnesses.
At the beginning, many people saw that in that battle, Chu Xiu even fought against Zhang Quanzong and Zhang Chengzhen of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and fought to a draw with him,-for-tat, and finally the Holy Maiden of the Moon Worship Sect was mixed in, but it seemed to be deflated in Chu Xiu's hands.
In the investigation of those who have a heart, the identity of this Yuan Ji is also very clear, although the other party claims to be the first minister of Beiyan, but in that place of Beiyan, the power of the Daomen is pitiful, and there is not even a Taoist temple that can be handled.
The power of the Daomen in the world, six points are in Dongqi, three and a half points are in Xichu, and the remaining half is in Beiyan, so although this Yuan Ji is known as the first minister of Northern Yan, in fact, there are not many people in the rivers and lakes who can be compared with him, although there are not many, but there are still some who can be named.
Chu Xiu, Zhang Chengzhen, and the Moon Worship Sect Holy Maiden fought for such a guy, except for what was said in the news, others really couldn't think of other reasons.
Although there are many doubts in this news, such as since the Heavenly Master Mansion knew that Master Yuan Ji had calculated the news that the Dong family had a heavy treasure, why didn't he control him and bring him to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and let him continue to wave under Longhu Mountain?
For example, since the Lunatic Cult also knew the news, why did it have to let the Lunatic Saintess?
There is also Chu Xiu, but he is in Beiyan, and the rivers and lakes of Western Chu have not heard the wind, how did he know the news and rush over in advance?
What's even more bizarre is the news itself, everyone knows that if you want to be a minister, it's best to keep your mouth shut.
As a result, Yuan Jibu calculated the news that the Dong family had a heavy treasure, and he also leaked it stupidly, is it really like the rumors said, he accidentally leaked his mouth in the bed, and then was leaked out by the little aunt of his concubine's cousin's second aunt?
Although this news is unreliable to the extreme, it is still the same sentence, it is better to believe it than not, so in just over ten days, the attention of the Dong family has skyrocketed.
At this time, in the small town near the Dong family, Chu Xiu was taking Master Yuan Ji to eat in the box.
The Tianxia Alliance really made a move, just spreading a message, Xie Xiaolou didn't even tell Emperor Chen Qingdi, just found a few deacons of the Tianxia League, and the matter was done immediately, without leaving the slightest tail.
This is the role of the head snake, even if Chu Xiu wants to create this momentum in Beiyan now, he has to join forces with the imperial court, but the Tianxia Alliance can easily do it.
Yuan Ji on the side pickled the wine and food on the table, slightly disgusted.
The chefs in small places are not very good, and their skills are too trendy.
At the same time, he still has some resentment towards Chu Xiu, design is design, what are you doing with yourself?
After all, he Yuan Ji is also a figure in the rivers and lakes, but now his reputation is completely stinky, a person with a loose mouth, who dares to come to him for divination?
Of course, although there was resentment, he didn't dare to say anything to Chu Xiu, but instead gave Chu Xiu a glass of wine and said, "My lord, the Dong family is estimated to be stunned at this time, when are you going to do it?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said lightly: "It's not yet hot, the Dong family is also one of the nine great families, where can it be so easy for people to kill people and seize treasures?"
A piece of gold held in the hands of a child will attract the covetousness of others, but in the hands of a strong man, it will only make people drool with envy and jealousy.
Of course, the Dong family is not a child, but a strong man, or a strong man with a knife. ”
Yuan Ji thought for a while and said, "My lord is going to unload the Dong family's knife first?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "No, it's to turn the gold in his hand into Seven Treasure Glass first, and then attract a group of strong men with knives, as well as greedy hungry wolves!"
..................
Inside the Dong family, Dong Qikun and the ancestors of the Dong family, as well as more than a dozen elders of the Dong family and powerful warriors, were all staring at each other with a confused look.
In the past few days, the news on the rivers and lakes has spread too much, and when it reaches the Dong family, the people of the Dong family are all confused.
When did we have a heavy treasure in our family? There are also seven limits, devouring insects, they haven't even seen caterpillars.
However, the rumors outside are so true that they make the Dong family a little suspicious.
A deacon of the Dong family couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, does my Dong family really have the seven limits of this ancient supreme sword technique?"
The face of the ancestor of the Dong family suddenly turned dark, and he threw a teacup directly, and scolded angrily: "Are you a pig's head? You can believe what others say? If my Dong family really had a sword technique of this level, it would have been taken out for everyone to cultivate, and it would have surpassed the Shangshui Ying clan a long time ago and become the head of the nine great families, and it would still be used to fight here?"
The deacon of the Dong family shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak more.
In fact, this kind of thing is not easy to say, don't think that there is no selfishness in the family, in case anyone gets the exercises and hides them to cultivate by themselves, either for fame and fortune, or for power, these are common things, and it is not to blame that the Dong family itself is suspicious.
The ancestor of the Dong family looked around and said in a deep voice: "Put away those careful thoughts for me! I will say again, those rumors outside are pure fiction!"
Saying that, the ancestor of the Dong family glanced at Dong Qikun and said: "Qi Kun, let people release the news, just say that the rumors are all nonsense, and you can't believe it at all." ”
Dong Qikun nodded and immediately arranged for someone to do it.
After everyone else left, Dong Qikun frowned and said, "Ancestor, what the hell is going on? Who is calculating my Dong family? What is the benefit of the other party doing this?"
These gossips are not harmful to the current Dong family, but they are just being watched all day long, which is a little troublesome.
So the person who spread the rumors is purely here to disgust the Dong family?
The ancestor of the Dong family shook his head and said: "I don't know, on the rivers and lakes of Western Chu, there are not a few people who have a grudge against my Dong family, who knows which one made it?"
At this time, Dong Qikun suddenly said: "Could it be Chu Xiu? He is also a participant in this matter, besides, a few days ago, he had to come to trade Sheshen Jade, but we refused, did he hold a grudge and get it out like this?"
The ancestor of the Dong family thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not like, if it is Chu Xiu, then the Holy Maiden of the Lunatic Worship Sect is also suspicious, and even the suspicion of the Lunatic Sect is greater than that of Chu Xiu."
After all, now my Dong family is on the side of the Righteous Dao Sect and is the enemy of the Lunatic Worship Sect.
Moreover, although Chu Xiu is a junior, he has to say that the other party can become the heir of the Hidden Demon lineage, and even the only Junjie of the younger generation who can be compared to the little Heavenly Master, he still has some open-mindedness.
He has done things that harm others and benefit himself, but at the moment, this matter is purely harming others, and his mind should not be small to this extent, right?"
Dong Qikun also nodded, what the ancestor said also made some sense, but if it wasn't for Chu Xiu's doing, then who else would it be? In short, this matter is a little confusing, and the Dong family is better to be careful for the time being.
A few days later, the Dong family released their reputation on the rivers and lakes, saying that this matter was purely false, but obviously many people in the rivers and lakes did not believe it.
If you say no, then you don't, who will believe it? There are even many people who think that the Dong family has no silver three hundred taels here.
At this time, Chu Xiu was hiding around the Dong family, silently observing all this, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to add fire to the Dong family.
The Dong family is close to the 100,000 mountains, there is no Dazhou Mansion nearby, there is only a small city, called Jicheng, which is relatively prosperous, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who come and go here to trade some elixirs obtained from the 100,000 mountains, or some treasures and other things.
Compared with some pill shops, it is actually more cost-effective to get some cherished elixirs from here and refine them by yourself than to go to the pill store to buy those finished pills.
Of course, not everyone knows much about elixir, and there are many profiteers who fool people with fakes.
At this time, a young man dressed in a fancy costume and probably only seventeen or eighteen years old was looking at the vendors selling herbal elixirs on the street, trying to make a move but not being sure.
He is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he seems to be from a family, and he is obviously not the same style as these rough dressed loose cultivators, but in fact, in addition to this identity and this clothes, he is no better than these loose cultivators.
He is a disciple of the Dong family in Gaoling, named Dong Yuncheng, and he is still a descendant of the Dong family, to be precise, a former descendant.
The Dong family's lineage is not fixed, everything is calculated according to strength, if the strength of your vein is strong, you are the descendant, on the contrary, if you are not strong in this vein, you are a side line.
Dong Yuncheng used to be the head of the family in this line, but there have been no masters and strong people since then, his father's strength is not bad, and he even competed with the current head of the family Dong Qikun for the position of the head of the family, but unfortunately he died halfway because of an accident, and he was left with himself in this line, so although he is called a descendant, he is actually not as good as the side line.
