Body 019 Money can make ghosts grind
Li Chenggang naturally didn't go to Ren Yunhong, let alone ask the little junior sister, but he just slipped around the center of the town to make sure that no one was following, so he walked through the streets and alleys, arrived at the Dafugui Inn, and under the guidance of Sun Taiyang, entered the No. 1 East Wing.
"Is this really the case?!" After listening to Li Chenggang's statement, Zhu Zhuyi couldn't help but glance at Mai Qipeng with an indifferent face. Originally, she thought that Mai Qipeng's reasoning and assumptions were purely nonsense, but she didn't expect that it was almost exactly the same as the truth.
Miaoyin Valley has been inherited for thousands of years, and most of the previous lords of Otani have gone behind the scenes and are respected as elders. As for the first Lord of the Great Valley of the Founding Sect, only his name exists in the records of the secret scrolls of the sect, and he is not sure whether he has fallen or is in the god class? Anyway, for more than two thousand years, there has been no news.
The current Lord of the Great Valley, Mo Chihu, was appointed by the previous Lord of the Great Valley and the three elders to be in charge of the Miaoyin Valley for nearly three hundred years. Zhu Zhuyi, the master of the Second Valley, has been on the throne for less than two hundred years, and he is also an absolutely authentic disciple of Miaoyin Valley.
Only Mai Qipeng, the master of the Three Valleys, was just a wild cultivator at the beginning, mixed in the Obsidian Continent, and had nothing to do with Miaoyin Valley. However, when Mai Qipeng was nearly 100 years old, he happened to have a big opportunity to break through the realm and enter the Liuhe realm of thousand-year-old immortality. After another three hundred years of cultivation, he finally triggered the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and crossed the tribulation with his own strength, although he was in danger and on the verge of despair, he finally stepped into the Upper Five Realms with his dying breath.
That is, more than a hundred years ago, with his cultivation in the upper five realms, he joined Miaoyin Valley and directly ascended to the three valley masters.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Mai Qipeng is not an authentic disciple of Miaoyin Valley.
Zhu Zhuyi and Mai Qipeng have known each other for only a hundred years, and because of their similar temperaments, they can get along. In the past hundred years, Miaoyin Valley has been bent on expanding the territory of the sect and accepting disciples, and there is no war with the outside world, so the two of them rarely command and dispatch, and they can't see the depth of each other's strategies.
Now through the disappearance of Wu Zhongzhong, Zhu Zhuyi can't help but secretly think a little more.
Mai Qipeng's mind is too cautious, even cautious to the point of being a little scary.
"It seems that Miss Ye Mingzhu is indeed as beautiful as a flower. Mai Qipeng said, "Second Valley Lord, the truth should be like this. Cao Wu was slightly protected by Xue Jianfeng and Xiang Changsheng, so there was no need to lie. The monk surnamed Xu, who secretly avenged Ye Mingzhu, was not an elite disciple of the Phantom Sword Sect, and his identity as a righteous brother was definitely fake. ”
Zhu Zhuyi asked:
"Since you're not a relative, aren't you an old friend?"
Mai Qipeng nodded, then shook his head again:
"I really can't understand how an ordinary family of three peasant families can climb to the top of a monk who is at least in the Liuhe realm? If the Liuhe Realm cultivators want immortal couples, among the Immortal Dao Alliance, the Eight Great Sects, and the Thirty-Six Heavenly City, there are stunning women who match their status and status everywhere. What's more, judging from his clean way of killing the Yang family brothers, this person is also very likely to be a Five Elements Realm cultivator. ”
Zhu Zhuyi said:
"Maybe this monk surnamed Xu doesn't pay attention to the right person? Sometimes fate comes, and the city wall can't stop it. Besides, it is not uncommon for monks to marry ordinary people, but they are rare. ”
Mai Qipeng said:
"At present, we can only assume that the monk surnamed Xu is Ye Mingzhu's friend, maybe a closer look at the friends or acquaintances of this family of three, we may find something?"
Zhu Zhuyi said:
"Is it possible that people who have never known each other encounter this by chance, punish the evil and promote the good, and uphold justice?"
Mai Qipeng couldn't help but laugh:
"Second Valley Lord, if the monk surnamed Xu is Shen Zhongyang, the leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance, or the Sword God Ji Shakong, I will believe it. Because these two people are full of food and panic, they like to do chivalrous things the most. Let me ask, what monk who has never known Ye Mingzhu dares to kill without mercy after learning the true identities of Wu Zhong and Cao Wuluo?"
Zhu Zhuyi nodded and said:
"Now it seems that Wu Zhong has been more than lucky. ”
Mai Qipeng glanced at Li Chenggang, whose face was gray, hesitated slightly, and said:
"Lord Li, Ling Lang is not the mastermind, and he is not a monk, and there may be a glimmer of life. ”
Li Chenggang shook his head and said:
"This man is ruthless, and the dog will never be spared. ”
Mai Qipeng said:
"In the final analysis, the culprit is Cao Wuluo. Lord Li, if Ling Lang encounters misfortune, he also died because of Cao Wuluo. However, this beast has a strong background and strong strength, and the monk surnamed Xu is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed. Listen to me, don't have the idea of revenge, Cao Tianshou, you can't afford to provoke it at all. If you're not careful, you'll get in and fill the door. ”
Li Chenggang asked:
"Five people died in your sect at once, it can be said that they were all indirectly harmed by Cao Wuluo, do you plan to stop there?"
"Of course we have to be held accountable. "But as Master Li said, Cao Wuluo has nothing to do with the death of the five people, so the only person we want to kill is a monk surnamed Xu." As for Cao Tianshou, it is difficult to escape the blame, Miaoyin Valley will go to Tianshou City to ask for an explanation one day, so I won't bother Lord Li. ”
"That's it, fate should be like this, you have to admit it. Li Chenggang said, "Two valley masters, I have something to ask for." ”
Zhu Zhuyi said:
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"When your sect killed the monk surnamed Xu, if you could ask where the dog's bones were, I would be grateful. ”
"Do your best. ”
Li Chenggang bowed deeply and turned to leave. The back is slightly hunched, the footsteps are vain, and the spirit of the whole person is gone, like the walking dead.
Zhu Zhuyi said:
"Lord of the Three Valleys, after Li Chenggang lost his son, he is really pitiful, why do you want to stimulate him again?"
"I don't think Li Chenggang will honestly accept his fate. "He must want to do something?"
"Revenge?" Zhu Zhuyi said, "Cao Wuluo can kill him with one finger." ”
"Lord Ergu, sooner or later, we will have to tear our faces with Cao Tianshou, and Li Chenggang is involved in it, which is somewhat helpful. Mai Qipeng said with a smile, "Li Chenggang alone is hopeless to avenge his son, but don't forget that he has a lot of resources in his hands." Under the heavy reward, there will be dead soldiers, and money can make the devil grind. ”
"You mean the bounty building?"
"There is no shortage of ruthless characters in the Upper Five Realms among the Dark Hunters. Mai Qipeng said, "As long as Li Chenggang can afford a price that people can't refuse." Second Valley Lord, if Li Chenggang took out a few million gold beads and asked you to kill Cao Wuluo, would you accept it?"
Zhu Zhuyi said decisively: "Absolutely not." ”
"What about tens of millions of gold beads?"
"No, it won't. ”
"What about the hundreds of millions of gold beads?"
Zhu Zhuyi was silent.
"What about a billion gold beads?" Mai Qipeng said, "It is true that for us Upper Five Realm cultivators, the gold beads are not very tempting. However, when the gold beads are more than a number, it is still difficult to resist. The Second Valley Lord, in the auction house of the Thirty-six Heavenly City, especially the Lingxiao Imperial City, will auction some superb immortal weapons and magic weapons from time to time, and occasionally there will be a few treasures that the monks of the Upper Five Realms want to keep for themselves. ”
"Don't forget, Lord of the Three Valleys, those treasures are almost all bartered. ”
"It seems that the Second Valley Lord has forgotten that the Heavenly Prison City has auctioned a top-grade immortal weapon in the Upper Five Realms, and the final transaction price is 370 million gold beads, and you have also forgotten that Tianwei City has auctioned two superb growth magic weapons, one for 450 million gold beads, and the other for 510 million gold beads. In addition, there are Tianfu City, Tianhui City, Tianyong City, ......"
Zhu Zhuyi's face was displeased, and he waved his hand and asked:
"Do you think Li Chenggang can take out hundreds of millions of gold beads?"
Mai Qipeng asked rhetorically:
"Do you think the city lord of Thirty-six Heavenly City can come up with hundreds of millions of gold beads?"
"Nonsense!"
"Shifang Ancient Town is the most important offensive and defensive town closest to the South Vermilion Sea, and it is the only one. Mai Qipeng said, "Li Chenggang has been in office for a few years, and it should not be difficult to take out hundreds of millions of gold beads." Even if he can't get it, maybe he's timid, or maybe he's not insatiable. But now it's different, the pain after the break will inevitably lead to a big change in his heart, and he will do whatever it takes to avenge his son. ”
Zhu Zhuyi said:
Even so, he may not succeed in revenge, and he will surely die. ”
Mai Qipeng said:
"Will Li Chenggang still care about personal life and death? By the time Cao Wuluo told the truth, he was already dead. Coincidentally, there was an auction in the town seven days later, and the finale treasure was a unique and growth-worthy immortal weapon equipment [Heart Armor] for monks of the Five Realms. As far as I know, bartering is not supported this time, and Yan Tianjian, the lord of Heavenly Sword City, urgently needs a large amount of gold beads to buy all kinds of ores, wood, and stones to strengthen the city's defenses. ”
Zhu Zhuyi asked suspiciously:
"What the hell is Yan Tianjian, this old horseman?"
"Tianjian City and Tianshou City are close to each other, and there have been constant disputes between the two cities for nearly a hundred years, especially in the area of land grabbing. Mai Qipeng sneered, "The routine of the Southern Vermilion Bird King is that except for the war between the two cities, the rest of the development and expansion methods are allowed to do anything. This is completely consistent with the routine of the Immortal Dao Alliance. It is not for nothing that Heavenly Sword City has recently secretly shown favor to Miaoyin Valley and acquiesced in our sect's territory to swallow two mountains and one river under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Sword City. ”
Zhu Zhuyi nodded and asked:
"How much gold beads is the starting price of [Heart Armor]?"
"One hundred million. ”
"So low?"
"A growing [Heart Armor] is certainly a good thing, but a [Obsidian Stone] is hard to find. Mai Qipeng said, "Lord Otani sent nearly 10,000 elite disciples of the inner chamber to search for [Star Obsidian] on the Obsidian Continent all year round, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and only two have been obtained. In fact, [Obsidian Stone] is not nothing, but the veins are difficult to find, and in the final analysis, it is still too rare for the master to be seen. There are two well-known masters of Kanyu, one in the Lingxiao Imperial City and the other in the Immortal Dao League. There must be unknown ones, but they are not in the world, what can they do?"
"In this way, the [Heart Armor] will be auctioned with a maximum of 200 million gold beads, and it is very likely to fall into the hands of the Lingxiao Imperial City or the Immortal Dao Alliance. ”
"That's not exactly. "Maybe someone is bound to win?"
"Li Chenggang?"
"The [Heart Armor] is bound to attract the coveted attention of many Upper Five Realm cultivators, and there must be dark hunters among them. Mai Qipeng said, "If Li Chenggang helps a certain dark hunter in the Five Realms to take a picture of the [Heart Armor], and the condition is to kill Cao Wuluo. Do you think there are any dark hunters who take a risk? These ruthless characters with their heads on their belts will never care about the pursuit from Tianshou City. Because in this life, they are either chasing and killing others, or on the way to hunt down and kill others. ”
Since Mai Qipeng almost accurately guessed the truth about Wu Zhongzhong's disappearance, Zhu Zhuyi can be said to have believed six or seven percent of Mai Qipeng's current assumptions about Li Chenggang's revenge for his son.
Of course, there is admiration, but the feeling of self-shame in her bones makes her a little like a bone stalk.
Miaoyin Valley has been changed once in 400 years and there is no re-election of the position of the lord of the big valley, and its candidates must be Zhu Zhuyi and Mai Qipeng. Although Zhu Zhuyi has the advantage of being a disciple of the authentic Miaoyin Valley, it does not mean that the current Lord of the Great Valley, Mo Chihu, and the three elders will not pay too much attention to Mai Qipeng.
The only criterion for choosing the next Lord of the Great Valley is to see who can bring Miaoyin Valley to the peak better and faster?
The patriarchs are all old demons who have lived for nearly a thousand years, even thousands of years, or even thousands of years, and they have read countless people with a pair of tricks. Among Zhu Zhuyi and Mai Qipeng, who are destined to choose one of the two, who is high and who is low, who is deep and who is shallow, I am afraid it is clear at a glance.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuyi felt that there was a lot of danger.
It's a pity that after Li Chenggang left, Zhu Zhuyi's conversation with Mai Qipeng has turned into a secret language of the sect. Xu Rulin, who listened intently, found nothing, but fortunately there was Sun Taiyang, a chess piece. It's a pity that in a subsequent secret meeting between the two, Xu Rulin learned that Sun Taiyang was no longer in the No. 1 East Wing at that time, and he didn't know anything about the conversation between the two valley masters.
