Chapter 49: Bound in a Cocoon
Zhang Tong had a plan in his mind, and he practiced even more vigorously. He moved the three sword energies in the gold-swallowing gourd back and forth, and kept retracting and releasing them. It was not until evening, when he felt more mature, that he stopped.
He wanted to rest for a while, but as soon as he stopped, before he could stretch out, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Zhang Tong was stunned for a moment, wondering who would come at this time. He quickly stood up and asked, then he heard the person coming and lowered his voice and said, "Junior brother, it's me."
Zhang Tong immediately recognized that the person who spoke was Qian Jian. He quickly opened the door and asked with a smile: "It turns out to be the third senior brother! Come into the room to talk."
Qian Jian was smiling at this time, as if he had encountered a great happy event. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Today I was ordered by my teacher to go out to do some chores, but I didn't expect that I missed something important! When I came back just now, I asked Zhang Chun, and I found out,
Master has actually made a flying sword, what a joy and congratulation!"
Zhang Tong smiled and said a few perfunctory words, but he was already a little wary. Originally, he and Qian Jian didn't have much friendship. They usually only nodded and smiled when they met each other. Qian Jian suddenly came at night and said some insignificant words, which actually revealed some traces.
suspicious.
What's more, Zhang Tong has long felt that Qian Jian is too cunning and cannot be relied upon at the critical moment. Especially when Zhen Yuandao asked him during the day, something was wrong with his face and tone, but he said that Zhen Yuandao sent him out.
It's obviously nonsense.
However, Zhang Tong was not in a hurry to expose him. Since he had come to deceive him, he must have some agenda. Zhang Tong also wanted to see what he wanted to do, so he simply took the trouble to talk to him here and there until he had only a few points.
My patience was also exhausted.
In fact, ever since that day, Qian Jian had already had a different idea when he learned that Yin Yang Sou had the help of Ancestor Xuan Mu. However, there was still a glimmer of hope. If Zhen Yuandao could refine the flying sword, maybe things would turn around.
And last time, Zhen Yuandao ordered four of him to collect them and returned from Jinping Village injured. After seeing the tragic scene, he was shocked and became more sure that this time Lingxi Guan was doomed. Then he rolled his eyes and simply passed through the door.
If not, go directly to Shentuo Temple to talk to Monk Huicheng.
Since Lingxi Temple is not far from Shentuo Temple, Qian Jian was very close to Monk Huicheng, and the two had some friendship. Qian Jian knew that Monk Huicheng was originally the disciple of Patriarch Xuan Mi, and later because of him
Some Buddhists moved to Puji Temple to follow Zen Master Zhixing and practiced Buddhism for ten years. However, after Zen Master Zhixing passed away, he no longer wanted to follow the precepts and was ostracized by his former brothers, so he came to Shentuo Temple.
, used some means to seize the position of abbot. Because of this connection, Qian Jian was convinced that as long as monk Huicheng was willing to help, the Yin Yang Sou would not lose his face.
Sure enough, Monk Huicheng was quite loyal. After hearing what Qian Jian said, he immediately agreed that Qian Jian would be safe if he defeated Lingxi Guan in the future. After receiving his promise, Qian Jian felt relieved, thanked him profusely, and even gave him a gift.
He had many gifts. But who would have expected that when he came back the next day, Zhang Tong would bring back three thieves needed to practice flying swords from Jinping Village, and also kill Zhou Tai, a boy with five poisons, and Sun Jiong, a white-faced ghost. Come and hurt him.
, Zhen Yuandao had no one at hand to make the flying sword, and with him as an internal response, the overall situation was almost decided. However, he never expected that something went wrong with Zhang Tong, and it was impossible for Zhen Yuandao to make it.
Feijian, by then it’s uncertain who will win and who will lose.
For a moment, Qian Jian was in a state of confusion. He couldn't help but regret and secretly hate himself. He shouldn't have acted rashly. If his actions in contacting Monk Huicheng were leaked, and if Zhen Yuandao knew about it, he would be cut into pieces.
But the matter has been settled, and it is impossible to turn back. He can only pray that Yin Yangsou and his gang will move faster to avoid long nights and more dreams, and no more accidents. Unexpectedly, good fortune and misfortunes never come alone, and he is worried.
Not even a few days later, King Zhan of the Golden Sword Tai Sui came to him secretly.
The Golden Sword Taisui Wang Zhan had a fiery temper. When he learned that his apprentice Sun Jiong, the white-faced ghost, had been killed, he immediately rushed to Jinping Village in person, captured a few escaped thieves, and traced Zhang Tong without much trouble.
Although the white-faced ghost Sun Jiong was not Wang Zhan's most proud disciple, Wang Zhan had a swordsman's temperament and was the most domineering. Knowing that his apprentice was killed, how could he give up and immediately wanted to kill him on Jiuyang Mountain?
Sun Jiong wanted to take revenge. Fortunately, he had a disciple named Chen Chen who was very resourceful and eloquent. He quickly persuaded him and stopped him.
In fact, Wang Zhan is not ignorant of the importance. He was impulsive just now, and when he was persuaded by others, he calmed down. He knew that Lingxiguan was Zhen Yuandao's old nest. It had been in business for many years and was very dangerous. If he was ambushed in the past, he would not be able to take revenge.
, but you will lose face.
But Wang Zhan refused to let it go. Later, he learned from Huicheng that Qian Jian had come to invest secretly. Suddenly, he had an idea and took Chen Zhen privately to the vicinity of Lingxi Temple and summoned Qian Jian with the contact code.
He came out and ordered him to lure Zhang Tong out. During the day, when Zhen Yuandao refined the flying sword and killed the Blood God puppet, Qian Jian was not present, which was why he was involved.
Moreover, the situation is complicated now. Qian Jian originally did not want to agree, but the King Zhan of the Golden Sword, Tai Sui, was completely unreasonable and insisted on forcing him to obey his orders. Otherwise, he would directly tell Zhen Yuandao about his betrayal of the army and the enemy. Qian Jian knew that Zhen Yuandao was not convinced.
Yuandao is cruel and ruthless. Once the matter is revealed, he will definitely die. He has no choice but to agree.
But he didn't know that Zhang Tong had already suspected him and had already guessed the purpose of his visit. He hesitated for a while, but he couldn't hold back his energy. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer and alerted Zhen Yuandao, it would be difficult for him to escape, so he immediately took advantage of it.
Said: "Junior brother, I came here tonight because Master ordered me to do something important with you!"
As soon as Zhang Tong heard the change in his conversation, he immediately perked up and asked with a smile, "Oh? Master, what do you have to say?"
As Qian Jian stood up and went outside, he greeted Zhang Tong and said, "This matter is extraordinary. Junior brother, don't ask any more questions. Just follow me."
Zhang Tong knew in his heart that Qian Jian was not a kind person and was afraid that there was fraud in him. How could he trust him so easily? He immediately frowned and said, "The situation is very serious now. Senior brother, please explain me. Otherwise, please forgive me for not obeying orders."
Qian Jian was stunned for a moment. Originally, he had expected that it would be easy to trick Zhang Tong outside just by using the banner of Zhen Yuandao. Who would have thought that Zhang Tong was actually very alert. He knew it was hard to deal with it, so he thought to himself: "This little thief is a fool."
Be careful, no matter how much I lie to him, I may not be able to win his trust, so it is better to tell him something real. In any case, as long as he is deceived outside, the master and apprentice of Jin Dao Tai Sui will do it, and it will have nothing to do with me."
Qian Jian thought of this, rolled his eyes again, looked at Zhang Tong with a half-smile, and said: "Junior brother is indeed cautious, but junior brother thinks that in the current situation, can our Lingxi Guan really save the day?"
Zhang Tong had long suspected that Qian Jian had different intentions. When he heard what he said, he immediately felt something in his heart. He looked at him with a strange expression, and then said with a smile: "Brother, don't talk in circles anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
.”
Qian Jian wanted to bully Zhang Tong because of his young age, and deliberately tried to whet his appetite before he could talk. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tong was not fooled, and went straight to the point, eliminating his ruse. Qian Jian choked up immediately, and thought about all the words he wanted to say.
Unable to continue, he had to smile bitterly and said: "Forget it! I'll just tell my junior brother directly! Now that the situation is critical, the Yin and Yang old man came with the crowd, among which there were five or six people who were not inferior to our master in cultivation, and the rest
The crowd is not to be taken lightly, and with the support of Ancestor Xuan Ni, our Lingxi Guan has almost no chance of winning. To this day, Master has the heart to die together, but our brothers and sisters are still young, so we have to fight for our own character.
Plan your life!”
Zhang Tong had long guessed that he had bad character and would rebel at the critical moment. Therefore, he was not surprised when he heard these words. He just pretended to be horrified and asked quickly: "Senior Brother came here at night, could it be that
Is there another way?"
When Qian Jian saw Zhang Tong taking the bait, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and said to himself: "Junior brother! You are still young after all, and you don't know the sinister nature of people's hearts! This time, senior brother, I will teach you a lesson." Then he laughed and said:
"Of course I have the connections, but I don't know if my junior brother is willing to give up that black dog nail!"
Zhang Tong's face suddenly changed, he stared at Qian Jian, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Senior brother, could you be bullying me?"
Qian Jian hurriedly said: "Junior brother, please be patient! It's not that I want your magic weapon, but the monk Huicheng from Shentuo Temple is greedy by nature. If he doesn't have a treasure to offer, how can he help you? I don't know, junior brother."
, that monk Huicheng was originally the disciple of Ancestor Xuan Ming. Although he later switched to Buddhism, his relationship with him was still intact. As long as he was willing to help, he would ensure that his junior brother was safe! The magic weapon was more important than his life. Junior brother had to weigh it carefully.
It’s clear!”
Seeing Qian Jian's sincere words, Zhang Tong would have almost believed him if he had not known his true nature. Unfortunately, he had calculated everything but failed to realize that Liu Tianwei and his son almost died at the hands of Zhang Tong directly and indirectly, let alone
Monk Huicheng interceded, but even if the ancestor Xuan Ni came in person, he might not be able to resolve the feud.
