Chapter 56 Hunting Order
Chapter 56 Hunting Order
Shen Shen seemed very calm, and said, "I do have something to say."
He slowly looked around and saw that Liang Congzhi's anger was still there, He Lianjue's face was gloomy, Jiang Chuyang seemed to have been touched by something sad, and he lowered his head to drink in silence. Xuan looked as usual, and nodded to him while sitting upright.Shen Shen couldn't help sighing, and said, "Listen to me, everyone."
All present here are his elders, and when Shen Shen met in private, he would salute politely, but when speaking on behalf of Beidou Villa, even if Master Mingxuan was present, he would not stand up.
Seeing him speak, everyone didn't dare to slack off, straightened up and listened carefully, but Shen Shen said: "Before the official business, let's settle a private matter first. The matter between grandfather and Fairy Kongqing is in the past, and I only know a little bit about it, but Since the grandfather got married, both of them have treated each other with courtesy, and there is no such thing as what the master Cheng said. Fairy Kong Qing is a hero of the generation, and she cannot tolerate such slander. Well, don’t spread rumors with rumors, and everyone’s words can make money.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Shen Lin looked at him with a fake smile, as if saying, "You have today too."
Liang Congzhi's face paled, he got up and thanked Shen Chen sincerely, presumably his prejudice against him had disappeared.Only Jiang Chuyang still looked at the reflection in the glass with his eyes half down, without saying a word, with a very abnormal expression.Zhong Wan secretly remembered it in her heart, and planned to ask Shen Shen later to clarify.
Liang Congzhi's anger subsided, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more relaxed.Shen Chen continued: "As for the matter of Li Ziben, the head of Liang has already told me that it was undoubtedly Qiqiao who stole it, and it was indeed related to Song Yenan. The "Eight Turns of Life and Death" is a major event in the martial arts, and a little careless It will cause chaos in the world, so Beidou Villa will help Tianshan find Song Yenan and find the Li Ziben."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Lianjue said coldly: "Master Shen, what is the method of helping each other? Is it up to you or Tianshan who will find Song Yenan first? You have Beidou Villa, but there is still The second edition of Qiankun, right? This time it’s the Lizi edition, next time it’s our Zhengen edition, and next time it’s the Xundui edition of Bodhi Temple? Is this really appropriate?”
He Lianjue has always been gentle and courteous on weekdays, and rarely speaks like this with a cold face. Someone next to him thought he was angry, and hurriedly apologized: "Master Helian, this time I lost the Lizi book, which is an accident among accidents. How could there be a next time? Besides, Beidou Villa..."
He Lianjue interrupted him: "Shut up."
The man turned his head resentfully, as if he was surprised how the always good-tempered He Lianjue would say such a thing.However, Zhong Wan faintly felt that his senior brother's temper had changed drastically, which might have something to do with the "Zhen Genben" he practiced.But Zhong Wan felt sorry for him that day under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and if he asked him now, it would only make He Lianjue more irritable, so he didn't know where to start.
"Okay," Master Mingxuan said, "Helian's words make sense, so let me, Bodhi Temple, send someone to supervise, how about it?"
Although the Bodhi Temple also holds the Xundui version, it is better for the three parties to restrain each other than the Beidou Mountain Villa.He Lianjue nodded and said: "Just follow what the master said."
This thing is over.Just as Zhong Wan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard an elder from the Tiangang Sect say: "Master Shen, there is one more thing that I want you to decide."
He called Shen Shen naturally, but since there were two Shen family heads sitting side by side, one new and one old, so he inadvertently glanced at Shen Lin, but saw Shen Lin's eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, and his legs went limp in fright. , almost slipped under the table.
Shen Chen seemed unaware of all this, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
The man replied: "It's about Wan Fangyuan's traitor, Zhong Wan, who is on the wind."
Everyone was in an uproar, they didn't expect him to suddenly mention Zhong Wan here.The elder of Tiangangmen tried to raise his voice, turned to Liang Congzhi and asked, "Master Liang, is there any whereabouts of Zhong Wan who you hunted down in Tianshan?"
Liang Congzhi gritted his teeth and shook his head: "I heard that the thief fled to Qianzhu Forest, I wanted to go to Buqiu Gate to catch him, but it was still a step too late, and he disappeared without a trace. If I knew him Where, I will tear him to pieces..."
The elder of the Tiangang Sect said: "To be honest, he killed not only fifteen Tianshan disciples that day, but also a disciple of our Tiangang Sect who happened to pass by, and was brutally murdered. It was only a few days later that his body was found in the wild. Although the body has rotted, it can still be seen that the heart was pierced by the sword of Qiu Shui. But since Qianzhulin, Zhong Wan seems to have disappeared from the rivers and lakes. Until... until half a month ago."
Zhong Wan is a person who has seen big wind and waves, and the number of life-and-death moments in his life is countless. Even after killing a famous master like Wan Fangyuan, he just sat in front of Aiqi's tomb and drank a cup of wine.Therefore, facing Liang Congzhi's words that he would smash his body into thousands of pieces, he didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart, but silently calculated the time when Yi Rong Pill would fail.
As he was counting, he felt Shen Shen gently holding his hand from under the table.Master Shen looked cold and serious, and asked the elder of Tiangangmen "how was it a few days ago", but secretly gave him a Yirong Pill in his hand.
The elder of Tiangangmen said: "Half a month ago, my apprentice said that he saw a person flying out of Chen's house in Yangzhou. His lightness kung fu is peerless. Except for Feng Shangke and Master Wan, I am afraid that no one else can do it."
Xiao Shiqing had been listening silently to the side before. She lived in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, controlling animals, and didn't pay much attention to such grievances and enmities.At this time, she frowned, and said in a rare way: "Elder, with all due respect, there are a lot of talented people and strange people in the world, but Zhong Wan's name of 'Wind Shangke' is particularly resounding. Just assert, I’m afraid it’s not very good, right?”
The elder of the Tiangangmen said plausibly: "Although this is the case, I don't have a clue right now. It's better to take a gamble and start from here. What's more, there are really very few people with light skills that are as good as Zhong Wan. Why don't I, the Tiangangmen, Songyang, Kong Dong and the others went to Yangzhou to hunt down Zhong Wan, and the owner of Shenzhuang will issue the hunting order, what do you think?"
The sects he mentioned have always been very friendly, but it is still a bit embarrassing to win Wan Fangyuan's apprentice. He asked Shen Chen about this idea at the Pingjiang night banquet, and the implication was nothing more than asking Beidou Villa to help.
Shen Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak.The elder of Tiangangmen was 30 years older than him, and he was still a little timid when he saw his gaze, but he was sure that Beidou Villa could not refuse, so he stood there like a candle and waited for his consent.
But before Shen Shen could speak, Shen Lin who was on the side spoke: "This requires Beidou Villa to send someone, and then Beidou Villa needs to help. Do you regard the Shen family as your retainers?"
His tone was sarcastic and bitter, but he helped Shen Shen express what was in his heart: "The matter of Tianshan Liziben is related to the "Eight Turns of Life and Death", that's all, what is he, Zhong Wan, and your personal grievances have nothing to do with it?" Do you want Beidou Mountain Villa to come forward to settle it?"
When Shen Lin opened his mouth to look at the elder, Zhong Wan lowered his eyes and gently stroked the rim of the cup, and the Yirong Pill fell into the cup, mixed with the wine and swallowed by him in one gulp.
The elder was afraid that Shen Lin would be miserable, so he couldn't help but fight between two groups: "But Zhong Wan killed Master Wan, and also killed the disciples of Tianshan and Tiangangmen, he is clearly a heinous villain. No future troubles..."
Shen Lin hooked the corners of his lips expressionlessly, and just about to speak, Shen Chen first said: "Elder Li, if I guessed correctly, you have a treasure that was taken away by Master Wan, right?"
Elder Li felt beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but Shen Lin snorted again and said, "Where is the 'treasure'? I hold my bones in my hands and refuse to return them. I was taken away by Wan Fangyuan once, but I still remember it now. Why, do you want to see if Wan Fangyuan gave the treasure to his apprentice?"
Although he didn't say it directly, anyone who is smarter can hear what he said, thinking: "Yes, Wan Fangyuan and Zhong Wan are both born geniuses, so I don't care about you."
Xiao Shiqing stood up and said, "Elder Li, if you want such a treasure—it's here with me now. When I was seriously injured in taming animals, Wan Zongshi and Zhong Wan passed by by chance, and they saved my life with it. Thanks to it After that, I practiced beast control a lot more smoothly. But it is common sense to return things to their original owners. I don’t take them with me this time, and I will definitely send them to Tiangangmen when I go back.”
After all this quarrel, he didn't know what to do about Zhong Wan's matter.Elder Li was a little bit annoyed, and boldly said: "Beidou Mountain Villa doesn't want to help, I'm afraid it will fail because of some dirty dealings with Zhong Wan! Otherwise, it's just a matter of sending a few disciples, how could it be like this..."
Zhong Wan thought to herself that she was right, she had some unusual interactions, and she was sleeping on the same bed with Zhuangzhu Shen yesterday.However, the others only thought he was crazy, and hurriedly pulled him to his seat and sat down, persuading him: "Whoever has a relationship with that guy Zhong Wan can't be Beidou Mountain Villa!" "Yes, Brother Li, Wan Fangyuan and..."
He wanted to say that the relationship between Wan Fangyuan and Shen Lin was stiff, but he suddenly realized that Shen Lin himself was still sitting not far away, so he shut up in time.The Shen family is very difficult to deal with, Shen Chen is enough to make people fearful, and Shen Lin who appeared out of nowhere, he is stupid enough to talk about it.
Master Mingxuan closed his eyes and dialed the Buddha beads, and came out to relieve the siege: "In my opinion, it's not as good as this. Of course, the few sects who want to hunt down Zhong Wan can hunt all over the sky, but Beidou Villa should first find the Li Ziben , it's more important. Afterwards, it will not be too late to send people to track down Zhong Wan's whereabouts after returning the original characters to the original owner."
Although Elder Li was resentful, Mingxuan opened his mouth and had no choice but to obey.Master Mingxuan said again: "Recently, first Zhong Wan and then Li Ziben have made the Wulin quite uneasy. I just want to say that I have lived for so many years, and I have never heard of the "Eight Turns of Life and Death" and only practiced it. One book or two can achieve great success. Not only that, but also make the meridian disorder, go crazy, and destroy the skill and life."
He sighed, his long eyebrows drooping, showing a kind of compassionate Buddha nature: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, I have read a lot, but if I put my idea on the "Eight Turns of Life and Death", it is asking for trouble Cheng Miaotong has already committed a big taboo. Waiting for Li Zi to return to her original position, Master Shen, Master Liang, Master Helian and the old monk will never show mercy to her, and it will be the same in the future. Please... "
His eyes fell on He Lianjue intentionally or unintentionally, and he said slowly: "...Think twice before acting."
