Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 42: Going alone

Shimen Peak.

Sitting in a patch of grass at the foot of Shimen Peak, Tang Jie pillowed his head with his hands and squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Interestingly, there were three other people beside him, Wei Tianchong, Peng Yaolong, and Qi Shaoming. Like him, they were sitting in the grass doing nothing, while the other Xiyue disciples were missing. Not far away, Shi Jingzhai was sitting there motionless.

I don’t know how long it took, but a ray of fire flew from a distance, flew to Tang Jie, Peng Yaolong and the others, exploded, and turned into several characters before their eyes. Looking at the words above, Wei Tianchong and Qi Shaoming both had smiles in their eyes: "It's done."

Tang Jie didn't show any emotion at all. He just stood up and said, "Now that everything has been settled, it's our turn now. Lao Shi, just stay still."

"Oh." Shi Jingzhai agreed with dull eyes.

Tang Jie then walked towards Shimen Peak, followed closely by Peng Yaolong and the others.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a disciple led the four of them up the mountain. All the way to the top of the mountain, a disciple came to greet them and said: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Tang of the Xiyue Sect. Hasn't Junior Brother Tang already completed the mining task and gone back to resume his duties?" ? I don’t know what happened?”

Tang Jie replied: "I want to see Master Qiu about something and want to talk to him."

"Allow me to report back." The disciple had already retreated.

Peng Yaolong snorted: "It's pretentious. With his strength, he should already know that we are coming, but he pretends not to know. It's probably like you said, he really has something in his heart."

Tang Jie smiled: "It doesn't matter if there are ghosts or not, as long as we are willing to meet, it will be good."

"What if he refuses to see me?" Wei Tianchong asked.

Without the Shang Fang sword of the Xiyue Sect mission, Qiu Shuyu had every right not to see him.

Tang Jie's eyebrows have drooped: "After all, he is a person who has cultivated to the heart of heaven. If he doesn't even have the courage to meet people, then how can he cultivate and improve?"

A moment.

The disciple came over in a hurry, bowed to Tang Jie and said, "Master, please go ahead, Mr. Tang."

Tang Jie noticed that the other party even changed his title.

He smiled: "Only me?"

The disciple trembled: "Master Haihan, the master did not mention the other three senior brothers."

Tang Jie nodded, turned around and said, "Then you guys wait for me here."

Peng Yaolong immediately grabbed him and said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Tang Jie said with a smile: "Senior brother, you can rest assured. This Shimen Peak Mountain has beautiful water. The reputation of Master Qiu's Shanshui Master is not false, and he will never allow blood to stain this land."

As he spoke, he patted Yiyi on the shoulder. Yiyi understood and jumped onto Wei Tianchong's shoulder.

Tang Jie said: "Yiyi and I have the same mind, let her deliver the message."

Peng Yaolong then let go of his hand and took a few steps back.

Tang Jie followed the disciple.

Enter the main hall, turn left and right under the guidance of the disciples, until you come to a quiet room and stop.

The disciple said: "The master is waiting for you here."

Pushing open the door, Tang Jie saw that the quiet room was empty. Qiu Shuyu was sitting on a futon, holding a floating hand in his hand and looking kindly.

Not far in front of him, there was a futon placed.

Qiu Shuyu pointed at the futon in front of him with a whisk and said, "Master, please sit down."

Tang Jie strode in, and the door closed automatically with a creak.

When he came to Qiu Shuyu, Tang Jie bowed first: "Tang Jie has met Master Qiu."

Then he sat down on the futon.

Then he said: "The master must have guessed my purpose of coming, and I also ask the master Qiu to hand over the other half of the goods."

Qiu Shuyu's body suddenly trembled slightly, and a pair of white eyebrows stretched out automatically without any wind.

Looking at Tang Jie, Qiu Shuyu said: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what Mr. Tang is talking about."

Tang Jie smiled: "The leader naturally knows, isn't the whole thing part of your plan?"

Qiu Shuyu looked at Tang Jie: "Since Mr. Tang thinks that the old man has some conspiracy, you might as well tell him and listen."

Tang Jie nodded: "Of course, I always have to say it. I just happened to tell the boss what I analyzed and asked the boss to help me see if I am right. In this matter, I guess it should be That’s it.”

As he spoke, Tang Jie cleared his throat and said:

"This matter must first start with the accident two years ago. Because of an incident of poisonous moths injuring people, the Shimen sect was ordered to go to the mines to investigate, and accidentally discovered that there was something else underground. Because of the terror of poisonous moths, your sect Liang Xingbang, Shi Jingzhai and others were not allowed to handle it personally. It was at that time that they discovered that there were mineral veins underground, worth hundreds of millions of resources... By the way, Qiu Zhenren, you should express your shock at this time."

Qiu Shuyu's face twitched.

Tang Jie continued with a smile: "After discovering these mineral veins, your three junior brothers and sisters decided to dig out the mineral veins without telling you. But with such intensive mining, this matter was not hidden from you... …But you didn’t plan to show off, but pretended not to know anything and looked for opportunities secretly. In order to take advantage of others, Qijuemen has been working hard to create opportunities to concentrate shipments, and you probably helped them in this regard. .Both sides are working secretly, which is why there are so many unreasonable things in this shipment."

"It is also possible that you contributed to my arrival. Through my pressure, and with the help of Yu Wanniang and the Qijuemen, you forced Shi Jingzhai and the others to quickly ship the goods, and then used them to attract the attention of the Qijuemen. , secretly exchanged the goods. You didn’t do anything, you didn’t take any risks, and you got most of the benefits. It’s a beautiful idea.”

Qiu Shuyu smiled when he heard this: "I have no idea what you are talking about. But don't you think something is inappropriate, Master? If everything is as Master said, then these resources have been left in the faction for two years. If I want to get it in two years, I should have countless opportunities, so why wait until now?"

This question is quite powerful. Indeed, Qiu Shuyu is not from the Qijue Sect. If he wants to make a move, he has many more opportunities than the Qijue Sect.

At this, Tang Jie just smiled: "Because you also want to ship! This is why you have to endure it until now. Although those mineral veins are good, they must be turned into spiritual money to buy them. The resources you need, and the amount of them is so large, no matter whose hands they fall into, you must find a way to sell them. This is also the part that exposes yourself most easily. So you can't move, you have to make your Junior brothers sell it, and you can’t make a move until they complete the sale."

Qiu Shuyu's face darkened: "But you just said that half of the goods were exchanged."

"Yes, originally you wanted to wait until the sale was completed before taking action. But recent events have made you alert. You feel something is wrong. If you know this, there will probably be an accident. In fact, even Shi Jingzhai and the others have felt it. That's why you used the trick of the real and fake caravan. In order to avoid being chased by the Xiyue Sect after the incident was revealed, you took action in advance. According to your plan, Shi Jingzhai and the others made a deal with Wang Jue, no matter whether it succeeded or not, you would create The situation made them flee immediately. With half of the goods there, even if they find something wrong, they will not come back to trouble you. In this way, all the crimes will be borne by the three of them, and you will still be yours. The head of the Shimen Sect is, at best, guilty of lax control of his subordinates."

Qiu Shuyu snorted coldly: "If you go by what the young master said, then Yu Wan Niang will definitely bear the blame for me. Do you think she will be so stupid?"

Tang Jie sighed: "She is so stupid. She is willing to give everything for you, but in the end she is ruthlessly abandoned by you."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Shuyu's expression changed drastically.

Tang Jie looked at him and said: "You were always there, right? Following the convoy. This should be your promise to Yu Wanniang, telling her that you will not abandon her. Of course, more likely, You actually wanted to see if there was a chance to get the other half of the goods. Our appearance disappointed you. In order to save yourself, you chose to give up on her. You just watched her die in the hands of Shi Jingzhai, no matter what she did. Even if she calls for senior brother to save me, she won't even come out... It's a shame that she still thinks of you and refuses to say your name in such a situation."

Qiu Shuyu's face twitched.

Tang Jie sighed: "Actually, you also know that you can't hide it from me, right? You weren't shocked when you heard that there were underground mines; you weren't shocked when you heard that your three junior brothers and sisters betrayed you; now you hear that Yuwan Your mother is dead, and you are not shocked. In fact, your expression has clearly written the words "you are the real murderer". This is not surprising. You are the leader, not an actor. You can deny it with a cold expression, but You can't imitate an innocent person vividly... Of course, it may be that you don't bother to imitate a small character like me. Because of this, you are still denying it with your mouth, but your behavior has already admitted it."

Is that so?

Qiu Shuyu's face suddenly relaxed.

He nodded suddenly: "You are right. In fact, from the moment you came in, I knew what you wanted to say, and I knew there was no need to hide it... I just wanted to hear you understand. How much."

He faced Tang Jie and said seriously: "I took away half of the goods, and I secretly planned all this. Most of what you said is correct, except for one thing."

"What happened?"

"My junior brothers and sisters never intended to betray me. On the day they discovered the mine, Wan Niang came over and told me excitedly. It was me who told Wan Niang to stop them from telling me!"

Tang Jie nodded: "I understand, because you are the leader of a sect, right? Others can do this kind of thing, it is just a person and has nothing to do with the sect. But you can't, you are the leader of a sect. , all your actions are directly related to the sect. Embezzling mineral veins is a major crime. If the news leaks to the Xiyue Sect, the entire Shi Sect will be destroyed."

Qiu Shuyu's whole body was shocked: "You know?"

Tang Jie sighed: "How could I not know this? If it weren't for this reason, how could I dare to come to see you alone?"

The expression on his face when he looked at Qiu Shuyu was full of amusement.

Qiu Shuyu understood immediately and shouted angrily: "How dare you threaten me with the Shimen Sect?"

Tang Jie looked at him with sympathy: "That depends on you, not me. Master Qiu, if you hand over the goods, you may still not be able to save it, but your sect can at least save it, and your relatives. Disciple, you can all survive...I remember you also have a son."

"Hand it over?" Qiu Shuyu laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, ridiculous! Do you think I don't know your thoughts? If I hand over the goods now, I will be really guilty. Now I admit it again How about it? Before you sue the Xiyue Sect, I will say that you have been accused of injustice and slandering me. The evidence of your quarrel with Shi Jingzhai has long been recorded. I can even bite you back and say that you killed Xingbang and the others! ”

Tang Jie sighed: "Evidence...another evidence. Master Qiu, has this become the only bargaining chip for your life? But it's a pity, you may not be able to count on this hope."

Qiu Shuyu sneered: "You want to say you have evidence?"

"Of course." Tang Jie said with certainty: "Although you have changed the goods in the fleet, you can be sure that the goods are still there before loading. After all, Shi Jingzhai and the others personally supervised the loading. There will never be any mistakes. After Shi Jingzhai and the others leave, you go and replace the goods. But the problem is that this batch of goods has been loaded into more than forty cars, and it is not easy to take it away. If it is so simple, Shi Jingzhai and the others There is no need to use a car to pull it. You are alone and not very lucky, so the best way is to find a place nearby to bury it on the spot."

Qiu Shuyu's expression changed drastically.

Tang Jie continued: "The place where the goods are buried must not be accessible to people. We need to stun Liang Jun and the others so that the **** will not find them. We also need to find a clean and uninhabited place. Like this Although there are many places, they are not necessarily too many. As long as you are willing to check back along the route that the convoy passed, and slowly start the work, you can always find it. But it is a waste of time. If it really takes up, it will take thirty to fifty days. It's possible...but it will always be found out."

Qiu Shuyu's body trembled completely.

Tang Jie continued: "You know that I invited more than 20 senior brothers to help, but now there are only four of me on Shimen Peak. What are the other people doing? They all went I'm looking for the treasure you hid near the route. Not only that, I can also mobilize people from the Wei family of Canglong Mansion to help find them. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I won't let go of every piece of land... It's only a matter of time before I find them. ."

Qiu Shuyu glared at Tang Jie fiercely: "What grudge do I have against you? Do you want to do this to me?"

The tone has softened invisibly.

"What kind of hatred?" Tang Jie looked at him and said, "Actually, I'm not a person who likes to be aggressive. It's just that some things force me to make trouble for you... You also know that this thing How valuable it is. 110 million! Just calculate it as 100 million. If I hand them over, according to the rules of the Xiyue Sect, I can get 20%, that is 20 million. Master Qiu, take it away at once Most of it, that's like robbing me of ten million! How can I not be anxious with you?"

Qiu Shuyu was stunned.

Yes, if he took away half of the goods, wouldn’t Tang Jie be missing something?

If he had never come forward on this matter, Tang Jie might have been able to turn a blind eye and ignore it, but now that it was about money, it was a big deal.

"So that's it!" The next moment, Qiu Shuyu's face turned serious.

He suddenly burst into laughter: "It turns out that Tang Jie, you are also working hard for money. In that case, I will give you these ten million. Can you let me go?"

Tang Jie regretted: "It's too late, everything has been done, and there is no turning back, just like you. Besides, if I have the legal 10 million, what do I want with the illegal 10 million? ?"

"I'll double it for you!" Qiu Shuyu shouted.

Tang Jie still shook his head.

"If you let me go, I'll share it with you equally!"

Tang Jie sighed: "It's useless even if you give it all to me. Although some money is good, it is impossible to get it. You should understand this truth better than me, real person."

Qiu Shuyu glared at Tang Jie, his momentum spreading like fire, and the entire quiet room was filled with his terrifying pressure.

Qiu Shuyu's voice was like thunder: "Tang Jie, you should know that here, I can kill you with just one palm!"

"I know, but the Shimen Sect will also suffer disaster in the future." Tang Jie said without changing his expression.

"Next?" Qiu Shuyu laughed loudly and said: "After I kill you, I will kill all Xiyue disciples, and then take my Shimen disciples away from here..."

"I'm afraid you have no chance to leave." Tang Jie looked at him sympathetically.

"What did you say?" Qiu Shuyu was startled.

Tang Jie didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.

The next moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the top of Shifeng Peak: "How are you, fellow Taoist Qiu? Han Tianji is here to visit."

"Han Tianji?" Hearing the name, Qiu Shuyu was suddenly shocked and stared at Tang Jie: "You actually found the Yuhua Sect?"

Tang Jie opened his eyes: "To be precise, Zhang Taixu was entrusted to ask Yuhua to send them. We are both from the Yongsui Mountain Cultivation Sect. Over the years, they have been bullied by you, right? Now Shimen Four The third elder has gone, and with the support of the Xiyue Sect, it will be unjustifiable if the Yuhua Sect does not come back to regain the situation."

He approached Qiu Shuyu and said: "Three of their Tianxins are here. There is no need to count on the Yumen Tiansuo Formation. I have been in the Shimen Sect for so many days and it is not in vain. Peng Yaolong, Wei Tianchong, Qi Shaoming The center has been occupied, and the three Heavenly Evil Thunder Beads in hand are of no use."

"Tang Jie, you..." Qiu Shuyu's body was filled with blazing murderous intent.

Tang Jie still said calmly: "If you think this is not enough, I might as well send you another message. When you came back and knew something was wrong, you asked your son and family to leave first and look for Ksitigarbha. This was not originally Wrong, but there are too many people you want to protect. The more people you want to protect, the more likely you are to be exposed. Senior Brother Bei and Senior Brother Wu found them before I came, and they are now in our hands."

"You!" These words were like a fatal blow, hitting Qiu Shuyu hard in the heart. All the killing intent in his body was reduced, and he just stared at Tang Jie blankly.

Tang Jie sighed and said: "Tell me where the goods are, and then give me the relevant information about the Yumen Heavenly Lock Formation and all the classics of your sect, and then commit suicide. I will ensure that your Shimen sect is safe and your family is safe." ”

Qiu Shuyu looked at him blankly, and finally said after a while: "Tang Jie... you are cruel!"

"The leader has given me the award."

——————————

There are dozens more cultivators on the square of Shimen Peak. The leader is a tall man with a broad face and big ears, and a strong momentum. In the distance, a large group of Shimen disciples are looking at this group of people tremblingly.

When Tang Jie came out of the hall, the big-eared man was the first to come up to him, laughing loudly and saying, "May I ask who you are, little friend Tang Jie?"

Tang Jie cupped his hands and replied: "That's right. I have met Master Han. I would like to thank him for rushing to my aid from thousands of miles away. I dare not forget the kindness of helping each other in times of need."

The big man smiled and said: "You're welcome, little friend Tang~IndoMTL.com~ Our Yuhua sect has been oppressed by the Shimen sect for thirty years, and now we finally have the opportunity to avenge this hatred. This is all thanks to my little friend."

As he said that, he bowed to Tang Jie.

It seems that they really hate the Shimen Sect very much.

Tang Jie hurriedly helped Han Tianji: "The real person is doing this great gift to break me."

As Tang Jie helped him up, Han Tianji asked quietly: "How is Qiu Shuyu doing now?"

Tang Jie was about to answer when he heard a loud bang suddenly coming from the hall.

Everyone looked at it at the same time, but saw nothing strange in the main hall.

After another moment, a spiritual wave emerged from the hall.

Tang Jie murmured: "Dead."

In the quiet room, Qiu Shuyu was lying on the ground, his head split open, blood mixed with brain matter flowing out...
