Chapter 51: Another Conspiracy
When a master finished his opinion and the topic ended, Chu Xiang said, "Everyone, this meeting is enough to resolve doubts. You can come forward. Thank you for your kindness for your advice." Chu Xiang bowed all over and served as a courtesy.
Then Chu Xiang announced loudly: "The meeting on the discussion of Taoism is over here. Please leave first with fellow Taoists outside, and fellow Taoists in the middle, please be calm and restless."
When Chu Xiang announced the end of the meeting on Taoism, some people were reluctant to leave and some were regretful, but most of them were satisfied and evacuated quietly and orderly under Chu Xiang's command.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: I benefited a lot, thank you Mr. Chu.
The voice seemed to thunder suddenly blew up on the ground, awakening everyone. Everyone turned their heads, faced Banyueting, bent down and bowed, shouting: Thank you Mr. Chu.
At the beginning, the sound was sparse. After a moment, the chaotic sound gathered into a wave of sound that resounded through the sky, echoing in the streets and alleys of Wucheng. The crowd bent down and bowed like waves, which was extremely spectacular.
Chu Xiang smiled, and he was finally sure that his approach was right, and the scene in front of him was the best proof. Although the world was chaotic, people still had a grateful heart, and it was not that they had no human nature.
Chu Xiang bowed and returned the salute from all sides. The crowd bowed and then slowly dispersed. After almost all the crowd dispersed, some masters who still had not left said goodbye to Chu Xiang. Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng had already approached, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to plot against Chu Xiang.
"It made me look like a big shot." After the crowd dispersed, Chu Xiang smiled.
"You are not a big shot yet, Mr. Chu, there are not many people in the country who know your name." Gongsun Qi said, constantly observing the surroundings.
Shi Wuzheng urged: "Let's leave first."
Chu Xiang knew that the situation was not optimistic, and there were many conservative masters around him. Maybe they would have any thoughts, so they immediately left the Banyue Pavilion with Gongsun Qishi Wuzheng.
The three of them left the Banyue Pavilion, and Gongsun Qi took the lead. He did not dare to walk on the main road, and he chose the secluded and deserted path. It was late at night, and the three of them walked in the alley and returned to the entrance of the Nanhua Villa. They did not find any suspicious people, which was somewhat unexpected.
The monk at the door was guarding the door with great responsibilities. Seeing that it was Chu Xiang and the other two, he bowed slightly to the tenth. The countless places in Wucheng City were the safest place for Chu Xiang was the Nanhua Villa. Chu Xiang understood, and Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi both understood.
The Nanhua Villa rarely competes with others, but there is no sign of great power. In a community less than 10,000 square meters, there are only 30 monks in the courtyard, with a total of less than 100 people, but few people dare to cause trouble. Even the powerful Shanke Alliance is going to be defeated. Who dares to cross the line easily?
The three of them entered the Nanhua Villa. As soon as Chu Xiangyi stepped over the threshold, he was suddenly frightened. His mind was like thunder exploding, his vest was chilling. He subconsciously drew his sword, and a sharp sound of gold and iron clashed, his arms were trembling, and the long sword slapped the back of his head, and he was knocked back one foot.
"Sniper, be careful." Chu Xiang shouted, his body moved instantly, and hid in the sniper's visual blind spot.
When Chu Xiang blocked him, Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi had already felt abnormal and flew out, sneaking quickly to chase the sniper. The monk at the door also followed the two of them and chased after them.
Chu Xiang's shouts and sharp gold and iron clashed alarmed the people in the courtyard. The lights were on, and the whole courtyard was as bright as daylight, and several agile monks flew out.
"Liyuan and love go to search for the enemy, and the others should be warned from all directions and not move arbitrarily." Because the low voice came, the monks who were about to fly out stopped, and only two of them rushed towards the direction pointed by Chu Xiang.
Seeing the figures of the two monks disappear into the night, Chu Xiang's heart was filled with anger. The other party's plan was very deep and terrifying. He didn't take action at Banyueting. He knew that his mind was condensed at that time and it was difficult to plot, but chose him to return to the Nanhua Villa and just stepped into the door. He fired when he was relaxed. If he had not had a strong intuition about danger, this shot would have probably killed him.
The more Chu Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that the enemy was terrible. The last plot was to take action face to face. This time he directly sniped in a long-range manner and did not show up at all. If he couldn't catch the sniper, he didn't know who the opponent was. Thinking of the last plot, Chu Xiang was suddenly shocked, moved his body, changed his shadow, and flew out of the sniper's dead corner from the sniper's dead corner.
The last plot was caused by the Tai Chi Sect. If it were the Tai Chi Sect's people this time, it would be very likely that they would be targeting more than him. In the battle of the Valley Zombies, Chen Ying should have known that Shi Wuzheng was in his hand with the Longquan Sword. If he really knew, this time, he would be likely to have plotted against Shi Wuzheng together.
At the Taoist Discussion Conference just now, there were eleven Danjin masters appearing in the field. Except for Chu Xiang and the other Danjin masters, only Sun Ying and another Danjin master spoke out. The other six people were obviously conservatives. If these six people were waiting for Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi at the sniper at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He jumped over and chased Shi Wuzheng and the others. Chu Xiang did not hide his tracks, deliberately exposing himself to a conspicuous place, and shouted: "Come back."
The sniper's shooting point was 1,000 meters away. Chu Xiang was anxious and flew with all his strength, like a meteor lightning, and his figure flashed in the night.
"What's wrong?" After chasing for five or six hundred meters, Shi Wuzheng's voice came in front of him.
"It may be a trap, go back first." Chu Xiang said. Shi Wuzheng, Gongsun Qi and Zhike Monk were both here. When Leqing and Yeyuan heard Chu Xiang's shouting, he returned to meet.
"No," Gongsun Qi suddenly said in shock, with a very serious expression.
Several people avoided the residents who were awakened by Chu Xiang's shouting, and were careful to turn back to the Nanhua Villa. The sniper did not take any further action.
Master Leyin stood at the door and saw several people coming back, and ordered everyone to retreat. The lights in the other courtyard went out and sank into the darkness. The monk stood back to the door again.
He thanked the monk and Taoist monk. After returning to the lobby of the other courtyard, Chu Xiang combined his feelings and wished, "Thank you, the two masters for help."
"You are polite to the donor." He said in love.
I wish to close my wish and bow slightly.
"You guys go back and rest first." Leyin said to the two.
"Master, this matter should not cause trouble for you. You should go back and rest." Chu Xiang said to Master Yin.
Leyin nodded and said, "Okay. I need to notify the monk at any time. The ground branch is empty, so stay at any time."
The three of them entered the Chen character room in the shadow, sat cross-legged, and Shi Wuzheng asked, "Why is it determined to be a trap?"
"First, you all spoke at the Dao Conference; Second, I was plotted for the first time by the Tai Chi Sect, and Chen Ying knew the three of us, and he was very likely to know that you were Longquan; Third, there were too many Danjin masters appearing at the conference; Fourth, they dared to kill people at the gate of the Nanhua Villa."
"Fifth, if you want to get rid of one person, it is best to kill his helper first." Gongsun Qi added.
Shi Wuzheng fell into deep thought and said for a moment: "These reasons are enough. But have you ever thought that this is not necessarily a Tai Chi sect's hand?"
"You mean to kill someone by borrowing a knife?" Chu Xiang said.
"Not bad." Shi Wuzheng nodded.
"This possibility is not ruled out." Gongsun Qi frowned.
"No matter what, it is very likely that it is a conservative force." Chu Xiang said.
"I also think that the situation in Wucheng has been very complicated recently, so we should be careful and don't be plotted against others." Gongsun Qi said.
After discussing for a while, the three of them meditated and rested. The two-day conference on Taoism was concentrated, which was a considerable loss for the three of them.
The situation in Wucheng was chaotic, and Shi Wuzheng did not want his disciples to get involved in the storm. Early the next morning, Shi Wuzheng was preparing to take his disciples back to Guicheng with him. Gongsun Qi was also preparing to set off to Siberia to search for temperature data. Chu Xiang asked Leng Ruyue to set a seat at the Movement Station and asked Duan Meng to bid farewell to several people.
When he saw Duan Meng, Chu Xiang frowned. A tall woman who was a little more beautiful than Leng Ruyue followed behind Duan Old, with a short knife hidden around his waist, with a cold expression, and a vicious aura between his eyebrows and eyes. He looked at Chu Xiang vigilantly.
Gongsun Qi just happened to come over, and felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xiqi, come here."
The cold and stern woman walked to Gongsun Qi, and Gongsun Qi said to her: "This is your elder brother Chu, Chu Xiang."
The cold and stern woman nodded to Chu Xiang and said nothing.
"Her name is Li Ruqian." Gongsun Qi said to Chu Xiang.
"Not bad, very potential." Chu Xiang nodded.
When he was praised by Chu Xiang, Gongsun Qi was a little proud and said, "Do you dare to compare?"
"How do you compare Xiaoyue with her?" Chu Xiang smiled and said.
"Next time to meet, let's see which of them is stronger." Gongsun Qi said.
"Okay." Chu Xiangdao.
"What does Guangbi mean? Just bet." Shi Wuzheng's voice sounded, and he came with the disciples from the six sects.
"Yes. What kind of bets are good?" Chu Xiang said.
"I have an idea." Shi Wuzheng said.
Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi both looked at Shi Wuzheng.
"Whoever loses, just go to the paddy fields at the east gate to catch a hundred earthworms." Shi Wuzheng said seriously.
The two of them changed their faces, and Duan Meng smiled and said, "Okay, this idea is good."
"Okay, Lao Shi, you guy, have a lot of bad feelings." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"Old Chu dares to bet, Gongsun, don't you dare?" Shi Wuzheng said provocatively.
"Whoever is afraid of whoever is going to bet will be blocked." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"If you hear that, you must not lose. If you lose, you will catch two hundred." Chu Xiang turned his head and said seriously to Leng Ruyue.
"Old Chu, don't think of changing the concept. Even if Xiaoyue wants to catch two hundred items, then you still have to catch one hundred items by yourself, don't think of cheating." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"What are you nervous about? I'm afraid you're going to catch me." Chu Xiang glanced at Gongsun Qi and said.
"Old Shi, we are all open. Don't you find a representative to join the game?" Chu Xiang turned his head and said to Shi Wuzheng with a provocative speech.
"That's right, Lao Shi, do you have the courage to enter the game?" Gongsun Qi said with a strange smile.
Shi Wuzheng smiled and said, "I can't do it if the man bullies the woman."
"Is it impossible to do it or dare not?" Gongsun Qi sneered.
"It's not good to win, it's ugly to lose. Do you think I'm so stupid?" Shi Wuzheng still smiled.
"If you don't dare, just say you don't dare, and you'll tell so many reasons." Gongsun Qi sneered.
"What do you say?" Shi Wuzheng looked calm and unstimulated.
"I think Lao Shi is afraid that he will be seen by digging earthworms in the paddy fields." Chu Xiang suddenly said.
"Haha, yes, it must be like this. I was seen digging earthworms in the paddy fields. Haha, that's really interesting." Gongsun Qi couldn't help but laugh as he said.
Duan Meng looked at Shi Wuzheng with a strange expression, probably imagining Shi Wuzheng digging earthworms. After a while, he couldn't help but smile. Leng Ruyue was covering her mouth next to her, with a weird expression. She obviously tried to hold back and dared not laugh.
Shi Wuzheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi's words. The disciple Ma Cong behind him could not bear the agitation and shouted: "Master, I've bet with them."
"Yes, this is right. A man is afraid that two women will not be laughed at when they say it." Gongsun Qizheng was worried that Shi Wuzheng would not take the bait, and Ma Cong jumped out and was right in his mind.
Shi Wuzheng smiled bitterly, but unexpectedly his apprentice could not resist the excitement, so he took the initiative to come out to fight, touched his apprentice's head and said, "You have been fooled by these two old foxes."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely not lose." Ma Cong said solemnly.
"Okay, it depends on you." Shi Wuzheng said with a smile, not blaming Ma Cong.
"Old Chu, Lao Shi has entered the game. How can the bet be determined by three people?" Gongsun Qi's expression was very proud.
"Wheel battle, you can get two points in one game, and you can get one point each with a draw. If you lose, you don't need to catch earthworms with the highest points. The second place is 50, and the bottom one is 100, and the apprentice will double." Chu Xiangdao.
"Okay, that's it." Gongsun Qi clapped his hands and shouted.
Shi Wuzheng nodded with a wry smile.
After making a battle agreement, a group of people headed to the Movement Station in a mighty manner. The strange combination, and the few people who were most popular recently, the turnaround rate of a group of people almost reached 100%. Fortunately, the Movement Station is not far away and will arrive soon, otherwise a group of people might be surrounded and watched vigorously.
When entering the restaurant, almost everyone in the restaurant turned to look at Chu Xiang and his group, with various complex emotions such as curiosity, reverence, envy, and jealousy.
The twelve people sat down. The dishes ordered were already ready when they were positioning. The waiters arrived one after another and served the food. Seeing that Chu Xiang Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng did not move their chopsticks, Leng Ruyue, Li Ruqian, Ma Cong and others had to sit upright.
"Eat, eat." Duan Meng looked at the young face next to him, smiled, picked up chopsticks, and Chu Xiang and the others started eating. Duan Meng was very happy. A lonely and down-and-out old man, accompanied by so many people who respected and loved him, was lively. This was something he had never dared to think about before. He thought that in his life he would die quietly in an unknown corner in loneliness and helplessness.
The people at the tables around looked at Chu Xiang and his group, whispering and talking. Unexpectedly, the three masters who were in the limelight were so unpretentious, so easy-going, and so respectful to an old man without any power, let Duan Meng sit in the main seat, rather than Chu Xiang or Shi Wuzheng Gongsun Qi. Shi Wuzheng and Chu Xiang sat in the last seat opposite Duan Meng, and Leng Ruyue and Gongsun Qi were sitting on both sides.
Seeing that several Wudang disciples were a little restrained, Chu Xiang said, "Old Shi, you Wudang people are good at everything, they are good-looking, and they are handsome in their kung fu. They eat so well. There is only one thing that is not good, which makes you easily suffer losses."
"Which one?" Gongsun Qi asked curiously.
"Eating too slowly." Chu Xiang said.
