Chapter 334: Uncle Li
When approaching the capital, Han Ming silently put away the green leaf magic weapon, and after some disguise, he blended into the capital, and quietly returned to the shop where he lived before.
Not long after Han Ming went back, the shopkeeper of the shop was overjoyed and came to greet him in person, for fear that Han Ming would be dissatisfied and leave here.
Han Ming casually found an excuse to look for herbs, and easily fooled the past, and then chatted with the shopkeeper, wanting to see if anything major had happened in the capital in the past few days when he was healing.
During the conversation, Han Ming easily learned that there had indeed been a major event in the capital that shook the court in the past few days, that is, the strange death of the thirteen princes!
At first, it was rumored that the Thirteen Princes did not die of a violent illness, but died violently due to other reasons, but after the imperial court strictly forbade talking about the Thirteen Princes, and beheaded a few people who spread rumors in public, the rumors were gradually suppressed.
Although the ordinary people in the capital did not dare to talk about the thirteen princes, some noble people knew that the thirteen princes did not die of illness at all, but caused by some unspeakable reasons!
"Lao Yu also overheard what the big shopkeeper behind our shop said, saying that the death of the thirteen princes is very strange, and according to the prominent position of the big shopkeeper, I only know three versions. The first version is that the Thirteen Princes were assassinated by the Prince, the second version is that the old bear of Chengjing came out of the mountain and broke into the Thirteen Princes' Mansion and swallowed the Thirteen Princes, and the third version is that a master sneaked into the Thirteen Princes' Mansion and kidnapped the Thirteen Princes!"
"Old Bear of Chengjing?" Han Ming's brows furrowed slightly.
"Haha, Zhu Xiaoyou was also very surprised by this! When I first heard this version, I was also very surprised, how could I get the monster of Chengjing! But this version is not groundless, because that night, someone went out to solve the problem and saw a hairy man-bear jumping from the roof of the house, and disappeared in an instant!" The shopkeeper touched his beard and said with a faint smile.
"Someone really saw it, did you see anything else?" Han Ming's heart moved, I don't know if that person saw him, if he saw him, and was known by the people of the Five Sects, wouldn't he be exposed, and then he would not be able to fool around, after all, he was there to assassinate the Thirteen Princes, and he couldn't see the light at this time!
But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Han Ming just put his mind at ease, he used the Xiao Yi Bone Technique at the beginning, and his appearance changed greatly, mortals couldn't see him as he was at all, even if he saw it, there would be no trouble. As for the Flying Cloud Boat, he has only used it twice so far, and almost no one knows that he has such a superb Flying Spirit Boat, but he is not afraid to find his head with the Flying Cloud Boat.
"At the beginning, the man only barely saw a big monster covered in fur flashed, but he didn't see anything else, as for whether it was a human bear or a person wearing a bear skin!" The shopkeeper shook his head, obviously not believing that the adult bear came out of the mountain.
Han Ming's heart was even more relaxed when he heard this, it was better not to see him, and he didn't have to be too restrained when he needed to use the Flying Cloud Boat in the future.
After that, Han Ming had a casual conversation with the shopkeeper, and he would not get any useful information, so he used the excuse that he was a little sleepy, and sent the shopkeeper out.
After the shopkeeper left, Han Ming sat quietly on the bed and carefully analyzed the situation in the capital.
Regarding the fact that the thirteen princes fell ill and died violently, Han Ming had some guesses, the thirteen princes and the other two monks in the foundation building period showed up to capture and kill him that night, but he ran away, so even if they pretended to be the princes and mixed into the imperial city, even if they were exposed, they naturally didn't dare to stay any longer, after all, this was a violation of the rules of the five sects, and they were to be held accountable by the monks of the five sects stationed in the capital!
"These thirteen princes are afraid that I will report to the monks of the Five Sects, but they forget that I myself went to assassinate the prince, and I have violated the rules set by the Five Sects. Han Ming shook his head and smiled.
"However, they may also know that I may not report the news, but they dare not accompany me to the adventure with their lives, so they directly gave up the identity of the Thirteen Princes and hid in the dark. I don't know what these three monks in the foundation building period are for, they don't hesitate to offend the five sects and pretend to be a secular prince, and the origin of what they are trying to do must be good. Han Ming's eyes were also a little hot, something that could make the three foundation building period cultivators so laborious must not be a simple thing.
But after a while, the heat in Han Ming's eyes disappeared, he shook his head, and all that was left was calm.
"It doesn't matter what it is, anyway, there are three monks in the foundation building period who are thinking about this thing, and it will definitely not be obtained by me, if it is forcibly tracked down, it will be lost if it is not good, then it is really not worth it." Now what I have to do is to complete the task quickly, arrange everything and return to the sect for retreat, and strive to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation as soon as possible, in case I don't have a foundation for the first time, I might as well hurry up and try a few more times before the age of fifty, after all, after the age of fifty, the chance of building a foundation is even more slim!" Han Ming muttered a few words to himself, that is, he forgot about the three foundation building periods, and then squinted and meditated!
When the sky was getting dark, Han Ming, who was originally sitting on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, released his divine sense to probe the surroundings, and then smiled with satisfaction, and then took out a talisman seal and pasted it on his body, and his whole person gradually melted into the ground.
Han Ming's speed of escaping underground was not slow, but in a quarter of an hour or two, he arrived at the Heavenly Master's Mansion where the disciples of the Ascending Star Sect stationed in Beijing were stationed, and released his divine sense to investigate, Han Ming hesitated for a moment before directly appearing and walking straight towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion!
"Hey, it's Senior Brother Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard my sister say that Senior Brother Han took the task to capture the demon beast, Senior Brother still didn't believe it, thinking that my sister recognized the wrong person, but now I saw Senior Brother Han with my own eyes, but I really believe it!" A gentle young man stood up from a stone chair in the courtyard and arched his hand at Han Ming, his eyes full of smiles!
"It turned out to be this senior brother, the previous senior sister Chen turned out to be Ling Mei, and that senior brother is also surnamed Chen!" Han Ming arched his hand at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but flash a trace of strangeness in his eyes, this person he looked familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be the senior brother who was in the Wanjin Spirit Cave years ago, when this senior brother had bid a hundred spirit stones to buy some essence gold spiritual power from him, but he politely refused!
Senior brother Chen Fengqing made the junior brother smile. The elegant man arched his hand at Han Ming.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Chen!" Han Ming laughed.
"It's just that I haven't seen it for a few years, Senior Brother Han has actually cultivated the twelfth layer of Qi, it is really a rapid progress, I am afraid that it is difficult to find an existence comparable to Senior Brother in the entire sect, such a cultivation speed is really envied by Senior Brother!" The elegant man walked up to Han Ming and looked at Han Ming, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
"How can the meager mana of the junior brother be compared with the senior brother, the senior brother has a deep mana, and he has reached the thirteenth level of Qi cultivation and consummation, and he is only one step away from building the foundation, which really makes the junior brother extremely envious. Han Ming looked at this Chen Fengqing monk and was also secretly surprised, this person's cultivation was already a great consummation of qi training, and the mana of the whole body seemed to be saturated, and the aura of the whole body was three points stronger than Chun'er, a ghost pet who had only entered the great consummation of qi training!
Han Ming was a little depressed, it stands to reason that these top-level Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivators shouldn't stay in the sect and cultivate with peace of mind to prepare for foundation building, how can they go outside to perform tasks now!
"Alas, it has been a long time since my brother was trapped in this realm of Great Perfection, but he has not been able to build a foundation for a long time, and whether he can build a foundation in this life is still a matter of two words. The elegant man shook his head slightly, and the lonely look on his face was not concealed, but in an instant, he smiled and said to Han Ming: "Senior Brother Han, don't talk about this, go to the house to talk, these days the capital is not peaceful, my sister has been sent to protect important members of the royal family, I can't wait for Senior Brother Han here, so let Chen wait here, introduce some demon beasts, Senior Brother Han won't have any opinions!"
"I'm tired of Senior Brother Chen waiting here, Han Mou is two days later than the agreed time, and he feels a little guilty in his heart, so how can he have any opinions!" Han Ming shook his head and said with a light smile, and then followed the elegant man in front of him into a hall!
After talking with this Chen Fengqing, Han Ming understood most of the details of the demon beasts that he had not learned before, and obtained some previously agreed beast trap spirit objects from Chen Fengqing, so that he finally completed the handover of the beast hunting task completely.
"By the way, Senior Brother Chen said that there was some unpeace in the capital before, where did this start? In the past few days, Han has some things, he is in retreat outside, and he has not paid attention to the things in the capital, I don't know if Senior Brother Chen can explain a thing or two to Han!" Han Ming, who was about to say goodbye and leave after handing over the task, suddenly remembered something, and actually asked!
"It turns out that Senior Brother Han is in retreat, no wonder he didn't take this beast trap spirit object at the agreed time! And Chen didn't know much about the rebellion in the capital, but he just knew that there were foreign monks in the foundation building period who appeared in the capital, so that the thirteen princes disappeared mysteriously! According to Li Shibo, who heard the news and entered Beijing a few days ago, it should be that there should be more than two monks in the foundation building period fighting each other, and a big battle affected the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, and by chance the thirteen princes were killed, and not even a little ash was left. Chen Fengqing didn't think about it and said, anyway, it was not a secret thing at this time, as a disciple of the Ascension Star Sect, he was completely qualified to know.
"The fighting method of the monks in the foundation building period, can you find out what clue?" Han Ming said with some surprise, but there was something strange in his heart.
"Uncle Li said this, saying that there should have been two monks in the foundation building period besieging a foundation building period monk, but they did not kill it, but let the foundation building period monk escape! But we don't have to worry about this matter, because it involves the foundation building period monks, and several foundation building period monks from the five sects have intervened. ”
"When it comes to the foundation building period monks, that matter is indeed beyond the control of our little disciples in the Qi cultivation period!" Han Ming nodded, but in his heart it was even more strange that he had mistaken him for a foundation building period monk!
"There are a few masters and uncles in the foundation building period of the sect, so I really don't have to worry. Han didn't bother much here, so he took his leave, and hurried to see if he could catch the demon beast and strive to complete the task of the sect as soon as possible!" Han Ming said goodbye as soon as he arched his hand, and raised his feet to walk towards the door.
Han Ming hadn't walked out of the door yet, but he met a middle-aged golden-robed Taoist priest, he raised his eyes and saw that a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face, this Taoist priest was not only an immortal cultivator, but his cultivation was also extremely profound, far from being comparable to a Qi cultivation period cultivator like him.
"My nephew paid a visit to Uncle Li. Chen Fengqing saw the comer, and immediately bent down slightly, and at the same time arched his hand, and said quite respectfully.
Seeing this, Han Ming immediately realized that this middle-aged man was the foundation building period of the Ascending Star Sect stationed in Beijing, Master Li, he immediately did not hesitate, and also bowed his hand, and followed Chen Fengqing to worship together: "Senior nephew to meet Master Li!"
"Hey, you are also a disciple of this peak, why haven't I seen you before?" The middle-aged man in the golden robe glanced at Han Ming, and suddenly asked with some surprise.
"Uncle Qi, this junior disciple is not a disciple of this peak, but a disciple of other peaks, this time he accepted the task of the sect and came to help the teachers and nephews catch a demon beast that caused trouble in a certain area of water!" Chen Fengqing explained directly, not bothering Han Ming at all.
"What kind of demon beast still wants you to find someone to help, aren't you cultivating enough, is it a second-order demon beast?, then why don't you come to me?" the middle-aged Taoist priest frowned.
"Uncle Qiqi, the strength of that demon beast is not high, but it is relatively timid, and it does not dare to go out of the water after being frightened, which makes the teachers and nephews have nothing to do, so they ask people in the sect to help. And at the beginning, because the strength of this demon beast was too low, the teachers and nephews didn't dare to disturb the master's cultivation, so they made their own decisions. Chen Fengqing explained again.
"I see. The golden-robed middle-aged man nodded, but no longer looked at Han Ming, but walked straight to the center of the hall and sat on a certain Taishi chair.
"This time, I also investigated the capital with several other monks stationed in the foundation building period, and did not find any other foundation building period monks, thinking that those troublesome foundation building period monks knew that they had offended the five sects, so they didn't dare to stay longer, and fled directly! But just in case, those disciples who were guarding the palace just don't withdraw for the time being, let them investigate in detail, and report to me immediately if anything is wrong!" The golden-robed Taoist priest said lightly to Chen Fengqing.
