Chapter 123: The Sky Has Not Fallen
Hearing Zhang Qian's words, Qinghuai Daoist subconsciously swallowed a breath of cool air.
I have been friends with him for two years, and I have also seen his ability to cause trouble, and many times in his eyes it is more than lucky, but he has never seen a trace of solemnity on Zhang Qian's face, as if he is at ease, that is, when he intends to kill the White Bone Daoist and usurp the power of Flame Hell Peak, it is also an understatement to say it from his mouth. At this time, he bluntly said that he was in big trouble, and he had never been in trouble before. It is not difficult to imagine what is hidden behind these simple words, I am afraid that it is enough to consume people and not even the scum is left of the risk and crisis, his mind is flying, analyzing the situation, and he can't help but sigh: "You are indeed in a lot of trouble now?"
Zhang Qian did not deny it, nodded and said: "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and I hope that my senior brother will analyze and analyze it for me." ”
Qinghuai Daoist picked up the wine cup and took a big sip, smacked his lips and said: "First of all, you are like a forest, although you have done a clean job of killing Xu Shi and Taijing, and have not left any evidence, but Tianlufeng is not all fools, someone must guess that two things are related to you, although you can't punish you by the rules and precepts of the door, but you will definitely retaliate in private, so you must always be vigilant, so as not to be plotted by others and repeat the mistakes of the two of them." ”
"Who will do it to me for the two of them?" Zhang Qian frowned slightly.
"I can't say, it's possible for anyone, after all, both of them have backgrounds, but cultivators have little affection, and there may not be anyone who is willing to get involved in right and wrong cause and effect for the two juniors. Qinghuai Daoist shook his head, and then seemed to remember something, stretched out his hand and gently twisted his forehead, frowned and said: "But there is one person you have to be on guard, I am secretly investigating you recently, that is, the Guanglu Daoist of Tianlu Peak, the father of Taijing, and I are the same generation, the realm strength is far above me, I heard a few years ago that he has opened up the seven meridians, and this person has been active between rights for many years, so the vulgarity is extremely heavy, you kill his son, he must have noticed it, and he will not give up." ”
"Well, thank you for the reminder. Zhang Qian didn't take this person to heart.
"This man is not easy to deal with. Seeing his indifferent appearance, Qinghuai Daoist couldn't help but remind.
Zhang Qian nodded, his expression focused, and said: "I'm sure, I really can't go back to Flame Hell Peak and hide him, and he won't take me, unless he can find evidence and hand it over to Tianlu Peak, so that I can be punished by the door rules." ”
When Qinghuai Daoist mentioned Flame Hell Peak, he seemed to think of something, frowned slightly, and reminded: "There is one more thing you must be cautious about. ”
"Please. Zhang Qian raised his hand slightly.
"Although your killing of the White Bone Dao is a struggle within the peak, the people above will not interfere too much, but after all, it is not right, if someone with a heart takes advantage of this to make trouble, it will still cause you a lot of trouble, you know, since the Flame Hell Peak retired from the world, many people have been eyeing this piece of fat. Qinghuai Daoren's fingertips tapped lightly on the table, analyzing everything that might happen for him.
"The people of the White Bone Dao can keep their family business, can't I?" Zhang Qian raised his head slightly and glanced at him.
"It's different, after all, the White Bone Daoist is the personal disciple of Chi Lianzi, and it is also justifiable to be in charge of the Flame Hell Peak, even if someone covets it, you have to take care of the overall situation of the sect, but you are killing all the way over, stepping on other people's bones to ascend to the top, and you are not recognized by the sect, and now you are just an outer disciple in the Flame Hell Peak, although this is just an inconsequential position, but sometimes it is crucial, you have no name, and those who have a heart will have a chance. Qinghuai Daoist pointed to the point, and then said: "According to what I see, now you should find a backer, according to your qualifications, I'm afraid it's not difficult, if you can climb the nobles, it is okay to give away the Flame Hell Peak." ”
"I don't want to be a person who tends to be inflammatory, and the Flame Hell Peak is something I have worked so hard to take, unless I don't want it, I will never give it away, and I don't need to mention it at this time. Zhang Qian's words were cold.
Qinghuai Daoren's proposal is indeed extremely feasible, but he doesn't think about it, it's not that his temperament is difficult to change, but that many secrets on his body can't see the light.
"Senior brother don't have to worry about me, I killed the secret of the White Bone Dao people, the people in the sect who know the truth are only five fingers, they are all people I trust, and I blocked the mountain gate, will this news spread for a while and a half, as for the name you said, next year's sect competition, I will participate for the White Bone Dao people, if I can win the championship, I can directly inherit the position of the peak master, at that time, will it not be justified?" Zhang Qian's eyes closed slightly, as if he was saying something extremely easy, without the slightest pressure, the Qinghuai Taoist who listened couldn't help but tremble with his hands, and hurriedly explained the benefits and disadvantages to him, and said: "The great competition of the sect is when the seventy-two peaks teach each other, and the masters are like clouds, and it is not easy to win the championship." ”
"There is still a year to go, I don't rush to think about it, and the White Bone Dao people died at my hands, Flame Hell Peak will always have someone to come forward, who else will I do my best? Zhang Qian still looks calm.
"Since I said that you have already planned all this, then what is the trouble you are talking about?" Qinghuai Daoist couldn't help but ask.
"Senior brother, do you still remember that I had a conflict with Xu Shi and Peng Xuan in Zizhen Building?" Although Zhang Qian's tone was cautious and dignified, his expression was still as stable as before.
Qinghuai Daoist nodded and said, "I heard my senior brother mention that you taught the two of you a hard lesson that day, which can be regarded as a bad breath for me." ”
"That's because of this. Zhang Qian admitted, "Afterwards, Peng Xuan was entangled with me, so I killed him, and his attack was very unclean, leaving many handles, not like when he killed Xu Shi and Taijing." ”
"What did you just say? You killed Peng Xuan!" Qinghuai Daoren was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Zhang Qian a little overwhelmed, and felt that he should have heard it wrong, but seeing that his face was calm, and what he said before did not seem like a joke, he finally panicked in his heart, put the wine cup in his hand on the table tremblingly, looked at Zhang Qianwan and asked cautiously: "Do you know Peng Xuan's identity?"
"The son of the sea toad, he is still an old man, although the cultivator regards the blood inheritance very lightly, but after all, there is a father-son relationship, and the other party will definitely not give up if I kill him. Zhang Qian nodded, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of superfluous emotion in his eyes, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with himself, and the Qinghuai Daoist who saw it only called a speechless, and said bitterly: "Since you know, then you still kill him." ”
Then he felt that it was useless to say this at this time, so he rubbed his face vigorously, trying to dissipate his alcohol a little, his mind was clearer, and asked, "What handle did you leave behind?"
"He and Qin Guan came to the door to provoke, and I killed the two of them directly in the Flame Hell Peak. Zhang Qian had nothing to hide.
"What? and Qin Guan!" Qinghuai Daoist exclaimed, his hand shook and touched the green jade wine cup on the edge of the table to the ground, and the wine spilled on the ground, but he didn't care about it, and said with a whimpering look: " If only Peng Xuan is killed, the relationship between his father and son is unfamiliar, this sea toad will not go out of control, there is still room for mediation, you kill Qin Guan together, then there is really no room for recovery, this sea toad has long intended to cultivate Qin Guan as a closed disciple, and he is the heir of Bihaifeng in the future, if you kill him, you will not destroy his hard work, he will definitely die with you, and even launch a madness, the door rules and precepts are like nothing, you have broken the sky!"
"It's still a while before the sky falls, and no one can say what will happen in the future. Zhang Qian closed his eyes slightly, and said to himself: "But I must be prepared during this time, so I want to inquire about some news from you." ”
Qinghuai Daoist didn't hear much about it, so he naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and he thought about it for a moment, then raised his head and asked in disbelief: "If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"
"I dare to tell you, naturally I can trust you. Zhang Qian shook his head.
"Alas......" Qinghuai Daoren shook his head, as if he was helpless, but he didn't say much, and put the sea toad's life, connections, strength, The realm and even the spell methods of the good envoy have been carefully said, and the memories are very serious, trying to be as good as possible, because he knows that he is now more clear with him, he is equivalent to an extra ray of life, although it is insignificant, but in terms of the current situation of Zhang Qian's life, it is extremely impressive, but there is a world of difference between him and the identity of the sea toad, all the news is heard from rumors, not detailed, he is also afraid of misleading, and he made it clear:" I have not dealt with this person, so I cannot be trusted. ”
After saying this, he felt more and more hopeless, and he didn't say more, thinking about countermeasures, and after a while, a trace of joy suddenly appeared in his expression, and he said, "There is something that may be good news for you." ”
"What?" Zhang Qian gently lowered his hand from his lips, his thoughts escaping from the previous message.
"A few months ago, the sect was infiltrated by a strong enemy, and then left arrogantly, killing and injuring a lot of the disciples of Tianzhan Peak who guarded the Dongtian Enchantment, the head of the sect was furious and sent people to chase him, and the sea toad was among them, and now he is not in the sect, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return. Qinghuai Daoist glanced at him, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was self-deprecating, and teased: "So the time for the sky to fall is a little farther away." ”
This is indeed good news for me. Zhang Qian couldn't deny it, but he didn't take this matter to heart.
The things that you always have to go to face, since you can't hide from them, then accept them calmly, disturb your mind, and mess up your own position, which is tantamount to cutting off your vitality.
Then I told him about the purpose of this visit, I had considered one thing before, which was very helpful to improve my strength, although it was a little difficult to speak, but the two were already friends, and they did not twist and pinch, and mentioned it in person.
It is the method of learning the Taoism of Shenmu Peak and refining the Yimu Spiritual Qi to penetrate the Yin and Liver Meridians.
