Chapter 52 - Gain both people and money
Hong'an Island, holding the Golden Palace. "Friendly Fights
Above the main hall, there was a man in white with his head in a bun, who was raising his eyebrows and looking at the letter in his hand.
His face was delicate and pale, but the bridge of his nose was hooked, his eyes were bright, and even though he was small, he kept his body unusually straight.
This person is Shen Minggu, a disciple of the true transmission of Chongyue Zhenguan, he snorted, threw the letter in his hand on the desk, and sneered: "This Xu Cuo is not good at skills, and he asked someone to arrest him, but he asked me to take care of this messy thing for him, which is really unreasonable." ”
Sitting at the bottom was a monk with short eyebrows and a big nose, a fat body and a round waist, this was his fellow disciple Shen Cong. He saw that Shen Guming seemed to be quite impatient with this, and hurriedly said: "After several elders of the Xu family learned about this, they have come to ask, please consider it carefully. ”
Shen Minggu smiled disdainfully and said: "This Zhang Yan covenant is fighting against me, if I don't go, I'm afraid they will say that I can't save me when I see death, and deliberately kill my fellow disciples, right?"
Shen Cong asked carefully, "Is the senior brother going or not going?"
Shen Minggu looked down at the letter, a chuckle rose at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have met the true disciples of the Nanhua Sect and the Taihao Sect in these days, and that's it, I will repair a book in a while, you send it to that Zhang Yan, I want to see what is so great about the disciples of the Mingcang Sect." ”
Shen Cong asked, "That'...... Do you want to bring the three thousand drops of nonean water essence that Zhang Yan asked for?"
Shen Minggu waved his hand and said, "Bring it!" Xu Cuo is willing to give it, then I will bring it to him, lest Xu say that I have ulterior motives, are you still afraid that they can't afford to pay it back?"
Shen Cong thought for a while, and said: "I heard that this person and Tao Zhenren's subordinates are now gathered together, a few days ago, I waited for the arrest of the strict trial, and the senior brother is here." I'm afraid there are traps. ”
Shen Ming said nonchalantly: "Senior brother is too worried, the letter makes it clear, ask me to meet in front of Niujiao Island, this island is the realm of my worship of the true view, are you still afraid that they will make something mysterious?"
Shen Cong thought about it carefully. I think that as long as you are careful, there will be no accidents.
However, at this moment, a talisman letter smeared with a dazzling scarlet color flew into the palace. Fly straight to the temple.
Shen Minggu, who originally had a calm expression, glanced at it, but his expression changed, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it. Hold the letter in your hand. Dismantled it with a solemn face. When he took out the letter and shook it open, he frowned, and then relaxed. After reading it, his eyes lit up, Huo Ran stood up, and said, "Providence, providence! It seems that I need to go back to the mountain gate quickly!"
Shen Cong was taken aback, and then stood up with a nervous face and said, "Senior brother." What happened?" This scarlet-painted letter was not an ordinary letter, but it was sent out when something extremely urgent happened in the Worship of the True Meditation Gate.
Shen Minggu shook his hand, and the letter paper became a cloud of debris. Hahadaxiao said: "Elder Xu failed to forcibly break through the realm, and he cultivated for a thousand years. It was destroyed in one fell swoop, and now he is dead, but the Yin Killing Knife, one of the three treasures of the sect left in his hand, needs to choose another host among the three generations of disciples, really God help me, Xu Cuo is not here, who else in the sect can compete with me?"
When Shen Cong heard this, his eyes also lit up, and he became excited when he heard it, and after a while, he suddenly woke up and whispered, "Senior brother means...... Xu Cuo will let him go, don't worry about it?"
Shen Minggu waved his hand and said, "No, isn't that the truth? Not only do you want to go, but you also have to go quickly." He suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that Zhang Yan and Tao Zhenhong's disciples are in the same place?"
Shen Cong nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Shen Minggu pointed at him and said, "Okay, you go to this matter in person, not only do you have to bring the three thousand drops of non kui water essence, but also put back the arrested interrogation, in short, we have to clean up this matter, so that the Xu family does not catch the handle, and there is .........", he looked at Shen Cong with burning eyes, and said: "When you go, you might as well hint at that Zhang Yan and ask him to detain Xu Cuo for a few more days, don't be in a hurry to put it back, but you don't leave any handles." ”
Shen Cong nodded, glanced at Shen Minggu, who was full of energy about this matter, and said in a sullen voice: "It's just that Senior Brother doesn't go to the war, this matter may be tired of your reputation, and it will make others think that you are afraid of that Zhang Yan." ”
Shen Minggu sneered and said: "Compared to the Yin Killing Knife, what is the reputation of this mere district, and I will find a chance to return it in the future, besides, the day Tao Zhenhong opened the faction will be in the first month, and the Immortal Mansion will be born at that time, if I have the Yin Killing Knife to help, why worry about the big thing? As for the rest of the things, I will leave them all aside first." ”
Shen Cong has always admired his senior brother, and said loudly at this time: "Senior brother, don't worry, you can go back to the mountain gate, and leave this matter to me to deal with." ”
Shen Minggu looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Remember, talk less, be more humble, and don't be sideways at this moment." ”
Shen Cong nodded heavily, then arched his hand and said, "Senior brother, I'll arrange it." ”
Shen Ming waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”
Shen Cong got out of the main hall, went back to make a little arrangement, put it in a human bag after mentioning the trial, and went to get three thousand drops of water from Renkui, but after thinking about it, he took out another thousand drops.
The two islands were only a thousand miles apart, and in less than half an hour, he saw a large sea boat more than 400 zhang long lying across the sea, with a thin layer of light covering the hull of the boat.
He was also surprised in his heart, it was the first time he had seen such a big sea boat, no wonder this Zhang Yan was so relieved and bold to wait here, but he was surrounded by people, and the ban on this boat may not be able to break even if Yuan Ying Zhenren is half a moment.
When he arrived at the boat, he kept in mind Shen Minggu's instructions, did not dare to be too presumptuous, and said loudly: "In Xia Shen Cong, he is a disciple of Chongyue Zhenguan, and on the order of my senior brother Shen Minggu, I have come here to meet Zhang Daoyou." ”
A clear voice came from above the sea boat: "It turned out to be Shen Daoyou, please enter the treasure pavilion to see it." ”
As soon as the words fell, the flame on the boat disappeared, and the prohibition faded.
When Shen Cong saw it, he calmed down, and then flew towards the place where the voice came from, and after entering the treasure pavilion, a man with a rough black face stepped forward and said in a vicious voice: "Honored guest, please come here with the little one." ”
Shen Cong frowned slightly, and secretly thought: "This Zhang Yan's sea boat is very magnificent, tens of thousands of Lingbei are afraid that it is also said to be a little bit, I want to see this Zhang Daoyou is also extremely rich, maybe he is a disciple of the middle family of the Mingcang Sect." But why are the servants around me so rude?"
He followed Zhang Pan all the way to the inner courtyard, turned a few more times along the corridor, and came to a side hall with a bamboo curtain in front of him, and Zhang Pan stopped. He bent down and said loudly, "Master, the guest has brought." ”
Then he lifted the bamboo curtain. Said: "Distinguished guests can enter by themselves. ”
Shen Cong stepped in and saw that the inner room was empty and there were other objects to furnish. There is only a jade collapse on the opposite side. There was a handsome young Taoist sitting cross-legged, he first secretly praised "good looks", and then stepped forward and said, "In Xia Shen Cong, I have seen Taoist friends." ”
Zhang Yan's sharp gaze walked around him, and then he smiled lightly: "Why didn't Shen Minggu Daoyou come by himself?"
Shen Cong said with a smile: "Senior Brother Shen has something important to deal with, and he can't withdraw for a while, don't blame Daoyou, but what Daoyou said in the letter." For Senior Brother Xu's redemption, I have brought all of them now. ”
He reached into his sleeve and took out three palm-sized water bladders. And send it forward.
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand, and the three water bladders fell on the table. He took one up, pulled out the plug cover and slightly discerned, it was indeed the water essence of the non kui, and he was not surprised in his heart. ..., he didn't expect this water to be so easy to get his hands on, and he also had the intention of having a fight with that Shen Minggu, but the other party's move made him a little incomprehensible.
It's just that his face was silent, he closed the cork, slowly put it down, and smiled: "Shen Daoyou sent this thing so quickly, he must have a lot of friendship with Xu Daoyou in the door, right?"
Shen Cong perked up, raised his head, looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Xu, although the second surname Shen is a relative, my senior brother and Senior Brother Xu don't have much contact. ”
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, if he said this, it was clear that Xu Cuo and Shen Minggu did not have much friendship, and they might even have a bad relationship.
Shen Cong coughed, took out a human bag from his sleeve, and untied it, revealing an unconscious young man coming out. He said: "Because of a misunderstanding last time, the senior brother arrested a Taoist friend under Tao Zhenren's door, and I heard that Zhang Daoyou and Tao Zhenren's disciples are on good terms. It was my senior brother who specially ordered me to send this position as well, just asking for a friendly look at my senior brother Xu and not to let him have any damage. ”
Well?
Zhang Yan's face was a little more subtle. What kind of person is he? Where would you not be able to hear the meaning of Shen Cong's words.
If the other party really wanted to redeem Xu Cuo, why did he need to say anything like asking him to "take good care"? It was clearly implying that he would leave this Xu Cuo here, and there was no need to let him go in a hurry.
Although he didn't know the real reason, he could also think that it must have something to do with Shen Minggu's inability to come here, maybe something important happened in the door, and the other party didn't want Xu Cuo to return to the mountain gate at this time.
He smiled secretly, so it's okay, this Xu mistakenly killed Dai Huan, he didn't plan to let him go, and he still had the intention of fighting with that Shen Ming, now that he has the things he wants, then it has nothing to do with him, just hand over this person and that strict trial to Guo Lie and the others, and it can be regarded as returning their favors.
However, since the other party was unwilling to take Xu Cuo back, he couldn't let the other party go so simply.
So he pretended not to know, made a look of heartfelt emotion, and sighed: "Senior Brother Shen is really a believer, in this case, Daoyou can stay here for a while, I will order someone to pick up Xu Daoyou, and you will take it back." ”
"This ......"
Shen Cong's face changed slightly, couldn't this Zhang Yan understand the meaning of his words?
He was anxious in his heart, and when he raised his head, he was met by Zhang Yan's meaningful gaze, first stunned, and then suddenly scolded in his heart, took two steps forward, and took a jade bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table, and then took two steps back, and didn't say what it was, just stood there silently.
Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he smiled lightly and said: "Shen Daoyou, I suddenly remembered that this Xu Daoyou seems to have killed one of Tao Zhenren's disciples, and several of his fellow disciples are very sad and angry, if I let Xu Daoyou go, I will be blocked by them, I am afraid that I will not be able to return with you, but I am not a person who does not keep my promises, I will take these things first, and when Shen Ming is a lonely Daoyou in the future, you can come to me to retrieve them." ”
Shen Cong couldn't help but curse again, but he breathed a sigh of regret in his heart, and sighed: "That's really a godsend, no one expected this matter in advance, it seems that I can only return to my senior brother in the future, and then make a plan." ”
