Chapter 53: Digging to Survive
Just a simple sentence, it implies three deep meanings. First, Ma Rui's interpersonal relationships were seen by the Shanhe Sect; second, Shanhe Sect knew that members of the Blood Refining Sect were present within their jurisdiction; third, this great disciple of Shanhe Sect was very likely to have met Mr. Chen, otherwise he would not have referred to it as "little white-faced".
Ma Rui couldn't help but curse inwardly. This was probably the mother-in-law's plan, otherwise this matter would not involve Ma Rui at all.
"Blood Refining Sect?" Ma Rui decided to pretend to be stupid and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there any trace of the cult Demon Sect in Shanhe County?"
The implication is that there is a cult demon sect within the jurisdiction of the Shanhe Sect, and the responsibility lies with you.
"Ma Rui, I'm still in a hurry to have something else to do. I don't have time to talk with you." The cold eyes of the Shanhe Sect's disciple locked on Ma Rui. The momentum that exuded made the latter feel cool and his words became more and more stern: "Chen Zi'ang, who left Chuiyun Town with you, was also a guest of honor for our Shanhe Sect."
This is the first time I heard Mr. Chen’s full name. As a member of the cult Demon Sect, he was once a guest of honor at the Shanhe Sect. The profound meaning contained in it made Ma Rui more alert. In order to avoid trouble, it is best to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
"I really don't know where Mr. Chen is going." Ma Rui spread his hands and did not admit the Blood Refining Sect, but he was helpless about Mr. Chen's whereabouts: "I stayed in Shuxiu for one night the day before yesterday, and he disappeared when he woke up in the morning."
"The day before yesterday?" The great disciple of Shanhe Sect frowned and asked in peace, "When it rained?"
"Yes." Ma Rui nodded, and now he quickly left the relationship with Mr. Chen: "I am not familiar with him, but I just happened to be together for half a trip."
"Have he ever said where he was going? Have you not communicated all the way?" The short and short man asked anxiously, and was worried that Ma Rui would answer honestly, and both voices and expressions were harsh and intimidating: "The crime of collusion with a cult can cause death! If the explanation is clear, you can still be relieved!"
Ma Rui cursed inwardly, you all regard the people of the Blood Refining Sect as guests of the ceremony, and they still have the face to blame others?
However, the three of them in front of me have a strong five elements. I am afraid that the Nascent Soul stage is conservatively estimated. When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. Even if Ma Rui is angry, he can only laugh and speak slowly in harmony: "Several adults are so serious. Here are some idle playboys. Because his wife's dowry includes this clinic, he has a lot of contact with medicinal materials merchants, and he really doesn't know."
The great disciple of Shanhe Sect still had cold eyes and narrowed his eyes. He knew that Ma Rui was making jokes. However, Master Wu had sent a letter back to the sect before, saying that the forces behind this person were better not to conflict on the surface, so he patiently said, "Mr. Ma, now my Master Wu Dayong, who is the mentor under me, has lost his whereabouts a few days ago. I hope you will explain the situation honestly and thank you very much in the future."
"Ha?" Not only Ma Rui was alone, but even Yang Shibei spoke out in surprise.
What level is Master Wu Dayong? The current uncle of the Shanhe Sect is the leader of the sect! The influence has lasted for 40 or 50 years for the two generations of heads, and he is the mainstay of the Shanhe Sect.
Can such an expert still lose his whereabouts? He is not a three-year-old child, but he will still get lost!
Ma Rui and Yang Shibei looked at each other, and both saw each other's confusion and surprise.
This scene was seen in the eyes of the great disciples of Shanhe Sect, which indirectly shows that the two of them really seemed to know nothing about this matter.
"I seem to remember that Master Wu was commissioned by the head of the Yang family to find him..." Ma Rui suddenly stumbled in his mouth when he recalled the foot of Chuiyun Peak.
Thinking that Yang Dianfeng, who was looking for at the Yang family, was actually dead, I thought that this was the argument that the Yang family used to save face. Now, when I think about it, I suddenly felt that I had fallen into a huge conspiracy that was unsatisfactory.
"I know, look for Yang Dianfeng." The eldest disciple of Shanhe Sect thought that Ma Rui could not remember the name for a moment, so he added on his behalf. This is normal. Before today, the eldest disciple of Shanhe Sect would not know the so-called Yang family genius, and then casually said a more amazing secret: "The one who spreads the news about Yang Dianfeng is the Blood Refining Sect."
Now Ma Rui can think of it with his toes that this must be a trap set by his mother-in-law, pulling Ma Rui out as a scapegoat.
"You went to the Canglan Lake alone yesterday, and disappeared for a while. Didn't you really go to contact the Blood Refining Sect?" The eldest disciple of Shanhe Sect saw Ma Rui silent and spread the evidence in his hand: "Maybe you don't know that since you left Chuiyun Town, we have been sending people to follow you."
After Master Wu met Ma Rui that night, he arranged for his disciples to pay attention, which was also the last message passed to Shanhe Sect.
"I'm just going to practice the exercises." Ma Rui felt unreasonable. He went to test the newly acquired monster abilities yesterday, so how could he have contacted the Blood Refining Sect?
"Is it...?" The eldest disciple of Shanhe Sect raised his eyes slightly, his tone was full of suspicion. Yesterday, intelligence personnel also revealed that the young master actually seriously injured an ordinary fishmonger in public, which made Shanhe Sect even more doubtful if the fishmonger knew something secretly and was silenced, so he was working hard to cure it.
At this moment, the eldest disciple paced back and forth to dissipate his anger, and felt impatient with the conversation that had no achievements, and even wanted to torture it. But the last message from his master when he returned to the sect was about the young master of the Ma family in front of him. His praise and praising and praising in his words also forced the eldest disciple to think twice.
"I just met Mr. Chen by chance in Chuiyun Town. If you want to say that the Yang family is familiar with him!" At this point, Ma Rui could only start to blame him, spread his hands and said innocently: "I have known him for less than three days, so how can I have the chance to be heart-to-heart?"
If we can turn the blame to the Yang family, it will be a killing two birds with one stone.
"The Yang family naturally cannot be separated from the relationship, and we have sent someone to investigate." The Shanhe Sect's eldest disciple explained the current situation of the Yang family in a cold voice, with a hoarse voice full of disdain: "There are always people who don't toast and don't eat it, and they will be punished for wine."
The Yang family had always had contacts with the Shanhe Sect before, and their attitude was ambiguous. Unexpectedly, when something happened now, the Shanhe Sect immediately turned against each other. At the same time, the sentence of taking the punishment is not a reminder to Ma Rui that it is best to be honest and lenient.
"Who is that Iron Crown Taoist?" This time the tall and strong man behind the eldest disciple spoke, his muffled voice like a broken gong, and his whistle was extremely harsh: "I'm so nagging, I'm not a good person at first glance!"
This question made Ma Rui even more speechless. This fictional master can sometimes bring benefits, but it can also bring pain.
"Haowen!" The great disciple of Shanhe Sect looked sideways and scolded: "The master is guilty! Let's discuss the matter!"
The strong man known as Haowen was still dissatisfied and flirted with his nose. Although he did not continue to ask Ma Rui, he was still dissatisfied and muttered to himself: "Where did such a coincidence come from? Just as he said that a wild path appeared, the master disappeared!"
Ma Rui was really crying this time. Who knew that he had made up someone casually at that time, but he not only attracted the attention of the Shanhe Sect, but also took the entire conspiracy to him.
"We have other things, so we won't disturb you." Seeing that the Shanhe Sect couldn't find anything, they offered goodbye, but paused and said an unpleasant order: "For the convenience we can find you at any time, I hope you will set off to Chuiyun Town today and someone will be there to receive it."
This is basically equivalent to house arrest, even if it is just a suspicion.
Can you fight? Ma Rui asked himself, but he should forget it. A good man will not suffer any loss in front of him, and the other party can destroy himself with one hand.
"Husband, I'll be with you!" Yang Shibei listened to the side for a long time, and immediately expressed her position when she heard that Ma Rui was leaving.
"You all are going." The eldest disciple had already opened the clinic gate by himself, and the short disciple behind him said disdainfully: "The young man has already followed me to send the chief teacher!"
Anger flashed in front of him by an outsider, but soon became lost again and bowed his head and said nothing.
Ma Rui watched these disciples of Shanhe Sect gathered together to get on the horse and left, lamenting that he was not lucky enough, he also had a deeper understanding of Shanhe Sect.
The Shanhe Sect is still too powerful!
It depends on this momentum, pointing out a place and letting you go by yourself, there is no one to supervise, and no one dares to disobey and follow the orders obediently.
Yang Shibei had already gone upstairs to prepare her luggage. The guys opened the door again. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ma Rui stepped out of the threshold again, looking like he was pacing back and forth at the door.
At this time, the clinic was deserted, and even many pedestrians had to walk around in a curve when they walked to the door. Their eyes were also suspicious, and no one was even close to them.
The clinic has wooden floors upstairs and downstairs. I have not had the chance to step on the ground these two days. It was not until I stepped out of the gate to negotiate with the disciples of Shanhe Sect that Ma Rui felt a little strange.
Now that the disciples of Shanhe Sect have left, Ma Rui can't wait to stand up and experience unprecedented new abilities.
It turned out that the half-mouthed snake gallbladder was not eaten for nothing, and it didn’t need to be eaten all of it. It was just that the ability to obtain was limited and it had to be exposed to the soil and sand.
Linhucheng Road is covered with bluestone slabs, but when we are about to arrive in the central slums, we save money by doing things. Unless the store pays for the paving stone slabs, it will be covered with earth-rammed mud roads.
Ma Rui stood on the mud and sand, poured spiritual energy into his feet. Through the thin cloth soles, he could feel the mud and sand under his feet like a sticky liquid, gradually softening and dispersing like quicksand. After a moment, he could wrap the soles of his feet. If he continued to instill spiritual energy, he might be afraid that Ma Rui's entire body would sink into the mud and sand.
Earth escape?
Ma Rui grinned. It seemed that this was the ability provided by the dune ground-digging python, and it came in quite timely. The Shanhe Sect wanted to put himself under house arrest. With the earth escape technique, wouldn’t it be more means to escape?
