Long Shang’s face turned slightly red, but in the end he had to answer: "He himself..."
"He couldn't think about it, so he just blew his head off?"
Long Shang had nothing to say. In fact, Gui Yan also understood what he meant. There was no one there. At least he and Gui Yan didn't find anyone tampering with them. Wang Renye, who was waiting to make a deal with them, was sure He won't be so desperate that he commits suicide, then the result will be obvious.
Someone bypassed the guards of two Six Desire Demons and killed Wang Renye. What is this concept?
"Ah ah ah, this is really good news!"
Zhai Queer stepped in, with Yu Ci next to him. For more than three hours, the two of them had been wandering around in various towns in the mountainous area. They didn't go too far, but compared to Gui Yan, The speed was still inferior, so he fell behind.
The tone was a bit strange, but the expression on the female cultivator’s face was not sarcastic at all. She immediately turned to Yu Ci:
"Didn't Fellow Daoist Jiuyan always want to trace the whereabouts of Mrs. Huang Quan? In fact, I have always been worried that my uncle, my uncle, has died silently, but looking at it now, it is clear that he is still alive and well! If this isn’t good news, what is it?”
After two adjustments, Yu Ci's mood has long returned to normal. At the same time, he also straightened out his thoughts and nodded: "It is indeed good news. We were also careless, since this place is very likely to be connected with the center of Donghua Palace. If they are connected, then it is very likely that he is under the supervision of Mrs. Huang Quan. If that person feels that Wang Renye is a threat, he does not need to do anything else, just plant a demon seed in the air, and Wang Renye will end up like he is now. ..."
Zhai Queer continued: "Not to mention that we are still adjusting our spiritual veins... Is that Dayu Sect guy still alive?"
Long Shang nodded: "There is nothing unusual over there."
Zhai Queer smiled slightly: "I really want to invite Master Liu here. Since I can remember, the methods I have heard of Master Huang Quan are all about listening to thunder in a silent place, and they are very calm and circuitous. It is often only after the fact that I suddenly realize that I have never been as evil as I am today. It is conceivable that my uncle's life is not easy now.
"Looking from here, there must be some secrets in Donghua Palace. It is probably what Wang Renye wants to exchange with us. Although it is a pity that the success fell short, everyone is going in the right direction... No matter who is the one in the dark If it’s not Mrs. Huangquan, don’t even think about succeeding. Let’s proceed step by step.
As soon as Zhai Queer came back, he had been adjusting everyone's morale, and the effect was pretty good. Long Shang's expression became much better, but the black robe was still silent, and his whole person was depressed.
Yu Ci glanced at him, somewhat suspicious of whether this person was hiding something.
Zhai Queer turned to him and said: "Since the direction is correct, we should put more effort here."
"That's right..."
Yu Ci responded quietly, but Guiyan next to him suddenly said: "I encountered something in a city in the southwest..."
In a few words, he told the story of the suspect's headshot in public in the city. Now that Wang Renye is dead, this is just the icing on the cake, but Guiyan's words actually have a deeper meaning. Conveniently, Yu Ci climbed up the pole and ignored the matter of "headshots", instead asking about things related to Yechi.
"Penshan Island? Are you sure?"
"I'm 100% sure."
The two sang a double act, and naturally no one in the world could match them. Gui Yan fulfilled his duty of conveying: "The female cultivator wants to meet with the adults through the little Taoist priest. This matter..."
Yu Ci murmured in a pretentious manner: "I really want to take it seriously."
Zhai Queer has been an audience for a long time, and finally found a chance to speak: "Fellow Taoist, are you going to a meeting?"
"Well, I have another agreement with Banshan Island."
"It's the fragrance of crossing the sea." Just as Duanmu Senqiu said, this matter has been heard from all directions, and it is infinitely close to the topic of after-dinner conversation. Zhai Que'er is not surprised to know.
"Exactly."
"I've heard about what happened in Wugoucheng. Fellow Taoists are really trustworthy, but the people on Banshan Island... don't seem to be so active."
Yu Ci touched his chin and said lightly: "Every family has its own difficulties, and it's not too late now."
Zhai Queer raised his eyebrows and suddenly said: "Is it because of the mirage?"
This is what Yu Ci wanted. He laughed twice and changed the topic directly: "It's almost time for homework. Let's not go out today. We'll finish our homework early and finish our work early!"
"Okay!"
When it's time to compromise, Zhai Queer's "understanding" makes people feel at ease.
After successfully completing his homework, it was dusk again. Yu Ci, bearing the identity of Jiuyan, said goodbye to Zhai Queer openly and went to the market of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. Since it was such a private invitation, it was impossible for Zhai Que'er to follow him. He just smiled and told Yu Ci to be careful and not to get into any more trouble.
When it was dark, Yu Ci came outside Fangshi. Before he could find the place, a waiter from the Maritime Chamber of Commerce came out and greeted him respectfully.
The Huifeng Taoist really seemed to be in charge. Outside the temporary monastery, he welcomed Yu Ci into the house and treated the guests with fragrant tea.
Yu Ci took on the identity of Jiuyan, said hello, and asked about the current situation of Wuyu and Zhang Miaolin. After some gossip, he changed the tea to a cup, and suddenly made a test:
"Fellow Hui Feng is in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. It seems he has been promoted?"
Hui Feng Taoist’s attitude towards Jiu Yan was naturally different from that towards Gui Yan. He smiled loudly and answered clearly and appropriately: "Master has misunderstood. The people of Hui Feng Xian Yun Ye He have nothing else to do except for some things about the master's sect." Please. These days I’m just doing what others asked me to do. I’ll go find my own freedom afterwards.”
Of course Yu Ci liked to hear this, but then, Hui Feng came back and sighed: "Master actually knew and walked with that Gui Yan. When I heard about it, I didn't believe it, but now I don't. Said."
The words were already a little too deep. Yu Ci glanced at him, wondering if Wu Yu had revealed something to him, but there was no need to respond on his face. The returning Taoist priest didn't expect him to give a reason, so he sighed:
"I think of me years ago, when he was breaking through the calamity and becoming immortal, and together with the monks from Lunjianxuan, we attacked him. When we meet again today, my palms are very sweaty, but I don’t remember him at all. ”
"Ha, really?"
Yu Ci was secretly embarrassed. Guiyan and Jiuyan exchanged their identities too frequently, and there was an oversight after all. Fortunately, I remembered that they didn’t really meet each other at the time, so they knocked him out of the clouds. I really didn’t recognize him. That makes sense.
He still ignored the topic. Since the returning Taoist priests didn’t care about exchanging simple and profound words, there was no need for him to be taboo about anything, so he just got to the point:
"Today you made an invitation to me..."
Hui Feng leaned forward in his seat and said "I don't dare." Yu Ci smiled: "Okay, I heard that it was you who intervened in my agreement with Banshan Island on behalf of Mrs. Hua. I know you have no ill intentions, so I came. But there is a joint in this matter. I I don’t understand. Since you, Huifeng Daoist, represent Mrs. Hua and have been around her, do you know why she did this?”
Hui Feng Taoist hurriedly shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "Master Mingjian, I have never dealt with that person, but the head of the hospital often meets her. What happened today was just a coincidence, and I became a Just a sounding board."
At this point, he paused and changed the topic: "But I have heard a few words about the matter that the master mentioned..."
"Oh?" "It is said that Mrs. Hua has done several businesses with Banshan Island recently, and has also been in contact with Ye Bin. If you look at it from this point of view, it is not unreasonable to intervene in this matter."
"Recently? What's the closest method?"
"Probably after the catastrophe of heaven and earth."
"...That's really no taboo."
Yu Ci sighed. The reason why he said this was because during this period, through the divine starlight he planted, he had a better understanding of the person who had been following Yechi in Fangshi.
Now just check with the Taoist Master of Return Wind: "You know, Leafpool is in trouble right now?"
"Uh, I know."
"Which way?"
The Taoist priest Hui Feng laughed and said, "Isn't it true that the master knew what he was asking? Of course it is the Sihai Society."
Yu Ci also laughed: "I know you, Mrs. Hua, are still interfering!"
In the past few months since the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, Sihai Society has changed its past practice of keeping a low profile and its reputation has become more and more famous, attracting a large number of casual cultivators to join, and even some small sects have attached themselves to it. In a short period of time, , has become a force that cannot be ignored in the East China Sea.
Now is the time for Sihaishe to keep an eye on Banshan Island and intend to exert its efforts. At this stage, doing business with Banshan Island is enough. If he develops a personal friendship with Ye Bin, it will also damage the neutrality of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce.
Ahem, putting aside this seemingly fair nonsense, it is actually nothing more than a matter of choosing interests.
The Maritime Chamber of Commerce can definitely use both sides to get the best of both worlds. As a big businessman, it naturally has such capital, but Mrs. Hua’s tendency is too obvious. Even if Sihaishe can ignore it, there is a looming secret behind it. What about Rakshasaism?
In this way, it will inevitably damage the interests of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and what is certain is that Mrs. Hua should be able to benefit from it.
The rest of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce allowed her to do this?
Yu Ci even thought a little deeper: For someone like her who was born weak and seriously ill, if she could clearly do something that violated business principles, her goal should be obvious.
Can Ye Bin provide such things as longevity and health?
Huifeng Taoist did not think so much, he just discussed the matter: "In my heart, Sihai Society has gone too far. As far as I know, every disciple who goes out on Banshan Island is being watched and surrounded by them. There have been dozens of conflicts and murders in the East China Sea. Now that Ye Bin's whereabouts are secret and there is a catastrophe oppressing him, the disciples of Banshan Island rarely leave the island unless they have important matters.
"This one... is Ye Bin's direct disciple, but she has been traveling since her early years. She has always kept a low profile. If she hadn't been involved in this matter today, I would not have known her identity."
Yu Ci nodded, and asked almost as much as he could from Huifeng Taoist Priest, and said, "Now that I'm here as promised, have you decided on the time and place?"
"That's natural."
The Taoist priest Hui Feng took out a jade slip, stood up and handed it to Yu Ci, explaining: "This jade slip is sealed with a special method. As long as it is penetrated with spiritual consciousness, it can only exist for half a breath, and it will be turned into fly ash. . is a surefire way to make sure no one is watching.
Yu Ci took it and commented casually: "It's mysterious, it doesn't look like it was written by Banshan Island."
Huifeng Taoist smiled bitterly: "Yes, this is what I mean."
Yu Ci laughed loudly, and the Taoist priest Hui Feng said helplessly: "If the relationship between Master and Guiyan could be confirmed earlier, I would directly invite that person to come here and talk things over. But after all, If you don’t have foresight, you can only go around in a circle, Master, don’t blame me.”
"No problem."
Yu Ci had already memorized the time and place of the meeting. Even as the jade in his hand turned into ashes, he stood up without any further delay: "If there is nothing else, I will go now."
The returning Taoist priest stood up and said goodbye: "Master, walk slowly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter hurried to the outside of the hall to announce his entrance. The returning Taoist priest didn't respond immediately. He sent Yu Ci outside the house, waved goodbye and watched Yu Ci go away, then signaled the waiter to speak.
The waiter said without any nonsense, "Urgent report from the North, forwarded by the Chamber of Commerce" and handed over the jade slip.
The Taoist priest Hui Feng broke through the seal above, and with a sweep of his consciousness, his expression suddenly changed. And when he read the information carefully, he suddenly remembered something. He looked up and saw that In the city, Jiuyan's figure has long since disappeared.
He took a deep breath, but quickly made a decision: "Send the order, the three markets north of Donghua Mountain will immediately stop trading, break up camp, and concentrate on the Mazifang Market in the southeast, and the other two will be closed temporarily. Move, but the alert level must be raised to level B.”
"Huh?"
Although the waiter was well-trained, he was stunned by the order from the Huifeng Taoist Priest. The latter's order has not yet been completed: "Make a copy of the jade slip and forward it to every city, and inform the shopkeeper of the market. If anyone asks, tell the matters in this jade slip... No, stop. When the market is open, the information will be disclosed directly. ”
The waiter hurriedly wrote them down one by one, but the Taoist priest Hui Feng paused and said to him: "You can also read the information inside and be prepared. But there is one thing, you must not exaggerate it or pass it on orally. Ballad."
As he said that, he handed over the jade slip again. The waiter finally couldn't restrain his curiosity, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated. For a moment, his face turned white as snow. The first sentence in the jade slip is:
The calamity in the north has fallen, the earth and the sky are interconnected, and the demons are attacking. The demonic tide sweeps across the three lakes from north to south, has crossed the Cangjiang River, and invaded the southern country.
"Why are you dazing, why don't you go quickly!"
The waiter then realized that he even forgot to salute and ran out in a hurry.
The Huifeng Taoist walked a few steps outside the monastery with his hands behind his back. His face changed from green to red, but he could not control his emotions in his heart.
Magic calamity, demonic calamity... Shangqing's legacy, who can forget the demonic calamity!
How could the disaster come again without any warning?
And why is it the Northland again?
