Chapter 46: Punish the Heart First, Then Destroy the Name
"Senior brother, if we don't go to Fengtai Village, why do we come here to catch a thief? Besides, this is Xiang Fang's fault in the first place, yet he asked us to come." Zhuang Pei said with dissatisfaction in his tone.
After all, for him, going to Fengtai Village is the right way. If he gets the position of Mountain God, even if it is not in his hands, it falls into the hands of their elders from the Xuanwei Sect.
It would be much more profitable for this little thief to stay.
First of all, "Knowing the Destiny" is just the basis for entry. Most people will not go into it deeply, and it has been circulated a lot over the years. Moreover, the so-called original is actually copied by the ancestor, and it is not a treasure.
.
"Elder Xiang has always raised Xiang Fang as his son. The pain of losing his son must be repaid. What's more, Uncle Xiang represents the face of our Xuanwei Sect. He is being treated like this now. If we don't repay it, it will be the Master who will fall."
The face of the door.”
"Didn't you see how those colleagues ridiculed us yesterday?"
"Besides, what Fengtai Village lacks is the two of us. The real decision is who can refine the mountain god's position."
Xu Jin on the side quickly analyzed the current situation to Zhuang Pei.
The general idea is that it would be the same with or without them, so it would be better to do something else.
Of course, this is just his perfunctory intention. The actual situation is of course because Zhuang Pei is the only son of Elder Zhuang. The elder just lost an adopted son like Xiang Fang in Fengtai Village. If Zhuang Pei dies again,
I'm afraid there will be problems.
But it was difficult to directly transfer him back to the sect. He could only use the arrest of Gu Shanhai as a reason. When the time came, he would be caught and brought back to the sect. This would not be a legitimate return.
From Xiang Ting's mouth, they also learned that the other party was a casual cultivator. Although Gatling was taken away, there was no bullet, which was completely insufficient as evidence.
The biggest difference between casual cultivators and them is poverty.
Their weapons can be used as much as they want, while casual cultivators have to be careful.
There is also a huge gap in weapons. One is a musket and the other is a variety of modern weapons. How can they compare?
They knew why Xiang Ting lost. They were young and strong, and there was no way he would be unable to succeed.
As for the other party being agile, no matter how agile they are, they can still be faster than the bullets in their hands.
"It should be here, but the secret deduction is getting weaker and weaker. I don't know what the situation is." Xu Jin was a little confused.
This problem has never occurred before.
They were in a forest at this time. After all, Fengtai Village was surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and Gu Shanhai also went to these places.
"Isn't it a miscalculation?" Zhuang Pei asked.
They had failed several times before. The other party was obviously running away, but this time the other party did not escape, but stayed in place. The two of them guessed that they might be resting in place. After all, they could not keep running. In this deep mountain and old forest,
All kinds of transportation are also unavailable.
"It's unlikely. Elder Zhuang said before that this little thief is good at digging holes. He might be hiding in a hole to rest." Xu Jin sneered at this.
Zhuang Pei naturally knew what Xu Jin meant. It would be better to hide underground. He could just throw a grenade in and kill the opponent.
It will be the same if you take the body back to give an account when the time comes, but it doesn't have to be alive.
For them, as long as the task is completed, torture is definitely not necessary, because the person who stole this "Knowing the Destiny" is Xiang Fang, and they do not intend to pursue it. Xiang Ting is an elder and has high moral character and prestige, so it is not easy to offend.
Just use Gu Shanhai as the scapegoat.
The other is that Xiang Ting is kind to people. There is no one in the Xuanwei sect who has not received help from him. It is not just their sect, there are many people inside and outside the court, casual cultivators, outsiders, etc. who have received favors from Xiang Ting. This is a stain.
It must not fall on him.
So although Zhuang Pei was unhappy with Xiang Fang, he also respected Xiang Ting very much.
But before the two of them started looking for the cave entrance, the vegetation at their feet suddenly grew and wrapped around them like living creatures.
Not far away, a phantom riding a tiger leapt towards the two of them and killed them.
"No, ambush!" Xu Jin naturally reacted immediately and saw a long shadow in the knight's phantom hand coming towards him.
If he was hit in the neck, he would die.
But now their limbs and body are entangled in the vegetation, and for some unknown reason, the force is so great that they have no way to break free.
He could only watch helplessly as this long shadow swept over him.
Fortunately, the long shadow did not penetrate his neck, but penetrated his limbs. Severe pain was felt, and the gun in his hand could not be held and fell to the ground.
Zhuang Pei on the other side was doing better. Gu Shanhai, who rushed out of the darkness, had his limbs and bones removed. He couldn't stand firmly and could only collapse on the ground.
"You are so shameless, you actually went so far as to sneak attack on us!" Zhuang Pei blushed, obviously very dissatisfied.
"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Shanhai responded with a smile.
Together, they are allowed to use equipment to crush him, but he is not allowed to use tactical sneak attacks.
"I think you must be the old immortal Xiang Ting sent to hunt me down. He really spared no effort for his illegitimate son. Guess who would have become the Mountain God if I had not killed Xiang Fang." Gu.
Shan Hai opened his mouth and came, and the main purpose was to sow discord.
The two of them were also stunned. It seemed that this was really the case. Xiang Fang died and his position as the mountain god was exposed.
As for the fact that Xiang Fang is Xiang Ting's illegitimate son, they didn't believe it at first, but combined with the incident of Xiang Fang in Fengtai Village and the current fight, it has been confirmed.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. This is actually a misunderstanding. Whether it's stealing books from Xiang Fang or Xiang Ting coming to hunt me down, it's been a conspiracy from the beginning. Even you are part of the conspiracy. Maybe Xiang Ting's usual behavior
It’s very good, but it’s not just a disguise, there is definitely profit in it.”
Seeing that the two of them seemed a little shaken, Gu Shanhai hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
When a bad person does a good thing, everyone will think that the prodigal turned around and turned into a good person and ignore the bad things before. But sometimes, even if a good person does not do bad things, as long as someone slanders him, he will become a bad person and write off all the good things.
Gu Shanhai's idea was very simple. If Xiang Ting wanted to kill him, he would destroy the other person's name, and at the same time, he could set him on fire and divert his attention.
The premise is that he finds out the location of the other party's mountain gate, which will fall on these two people.
The current situation is that he is planning to inquire first, whether to kill one or let one go. After all, it can also be used to divert attention. For example, it can make them think that his true purpose is to take revenge on Xiang Ting. Combined with rumors, it may be able to help him delay for a while.
