In Chu Yiming's study, Jiang Feng leaned alone on the back of the Grand Master's chair and told the story about Bai Ruoxi from beginning to end. There were only three people in the audience:
The head of the Chu family, Chu Yilin, Jiang Feng's friend Chu Yiming, and Chu Wenyin, among them Chu Wenyin was the first to arrive. She was also the first person to "capture" Bai Ruoxi. If Jiang Feng hadn't relied on the "Heart Lock Jade Ring"
"If he quickly teleports to Chu Yiming's study and arrives at the scene in time, Xiao Luo, disguised as Bai Ruoxi, is already going to start a fight with Chu Wenyin. Of course, the reason why he has not done anything for a long time is because of Jiang Feng's instructions.
Luo tried his best to delay time and not to cause trouble. It was best to show up in public and prove that he was fine before fleeing secretly. Unfortunately, it backfired. He was targeted by Chu Wenyin as soon as he showed up. On the other hand, it was also the result of Chu Wenyin's deliberate restraint.
She didn't want to cause any trouble at Chu Yiming's wedding banquet.
If he really takes action, it will definitely cause an uproar. Although Xiao Luo's ability to possess people is superb, he cannot deceive all the monks here. When the effective time passes and he turns into Sun Baotai in a skirt, then the matter will be...
It was serious. Fortunately, this situation happened just before the breath was counted. At this time, it was Sun Baotai who collapsed on the ground, not Bai Ruoxi.
The weapon spirit Xiao Luo returned to the "Silver Spirit Dagger". Jiang Feng put it away in public and looked at the three people in front of him.
"That is to say, Bai Ruoxi suddenly fainted next to you for some reason?" Chu Yilin thought thoughtfully. Jiang Feng's description was not complicated, but she still did not understand the reason why this happened.
"Yes, I just said a word to her, and she suddenly fell unconscious. According to my perception, there were not many monks nearby at that time, and they should all be guests coming to your house for a banquet."
"Then where is she now? Why are her clothes on this corpse? Did you move it?" The person who asked the question was Chu Wenyin. She squatted down, looked at the corpse, and found that the monk's
The face was unfamiliar to her and she didn't recognize him, and judging from the stiffness to the touch, he must have been dead for a long time.
"I also used this corpse to replace Bai Ruoxi in order to protect myself. I was worried that someone would plot a conspiracy and disrupt tonight's wedding banquet. Moreover, I had something urgent to attend to at that time and had to leave temporarily."
"Can I disclose it?"
Chu Wenyin was very suspicious of this. She recalled how Bai Ruoxi and Jiang Feng called each other "evil people" when they first met. She thought that the head of the Qianshan Sect might have some special hobbies that would lead to him being targeted.
He fell in love with the young and beautiful Bai Ruoxi, but the probability of this is low. What kind of habit would cause him to act in a hurry regardless of the situation? Moreover, with his close relationship with Chu Yiming, it is impossible to cause trouble today.
"I'm so sorry, I can't."
Jiang Feng naturally would not reveal the previous agreement with Xiao Mingzhen or the details of going to the Xiao family ancestral hall. However, he recalled Xiao Mingzhen's explanation and said frankly, "I have found someone to send him to the 'Xiaoxiang Pavilion' for temporary stay. I believe her."
She will wake up soon and return home on her own. According to what I saw on the road, she should have been cursed. As for whether it was caused by the talisman or other means, I don’t know, but she suddenly became delirious and tore her clothes.
, I could only put a sealing talisman on her to stop it temporarily. I guess someone wanted her to make a fool of herself in public here."
"Make a fool of yourself in public?"
Chu Wenyin's suspicion still hadn't dissipated, and she thought that Jiang Feng wouldn't have really done anything like a beast. He also made up the lie that Bai Ruoxi was cursed. With his earth-level cultivation, if he used some means,
Bai Ruoxi, who was not experienced in the world and only had spiritual level cultivation, might easily fall into the trap. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. After all, the other party had concealed too many details.
For example, how Jiang Feng safely sent Bai Ruoxi to the training dojo "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", and how it happened that a carriage that could cover everything was parked there. No one would believe it if they said they were not prepared in advance. Of course, this
It might have something to do with the urgent matter he was going to do, but I always felt that a lot of details were missing. For example, why did he come out of Chu Yiming's study? Logically speaking, when he returned to Chu Mansion after finishing his work, he should also enter from outside.
That's right.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Feng again with suspicious eyes, but she couldn't make the decision on what happened here. After all, Chu Yilin was the head of the Chu family.
"Who is this monk?" Chu Yilin spoke, pointing at Sun Baotai who was wearing a skirt on the ground and made people look at him unbearably.
"Sun Baotai, a prefecture-level monk of the Jincheng Sect." Jiang Feng would not lie about this matter. Since what happened to Bai Ruoxi, he believed that everyone present would not spread the matter easily.
"Did you kill him?" Chu
Yi Lin had heard of this man's name, but had never seen him.
"Yes, it took a lot of effort."
Jiang Feng answered truthfully. He also stood up and put Sun Baotai into his storage bag again. He originally wanted to take off the dress, but thinking about the current environment, it was still not suitable, and there was definitely no way to return the dress.
Judging from the material and the rows of gold pieces on it, this is a good mundane item, and it is commonly used by Bai Ruoxi. It should be used to infuse Horcruxes, but he will never wear this thing, and he plans to use it.
Turn the object into a Horcrux and give it to Xiao Luo. At least after possessing it, you can have an extra skill out of thin air, and your combat power can also be guaranteed.
Chu Yilin was silent and seemed to have difficulty making a judgment, so he looked at Chu Yiming.
"I believe Brother Jiang." Chu Yiming said straightforwardly, "Although there are many things that Brother Jiang didn't say, we should believe Brother Jiang. I don't think Bai Ruoxi's matter is necessarily aimed at us," he analyzed.
He was hurriedly called from the wedding banquet, and he was also very anxious. If he stayed here for a long time and neglected the guests, it might cause criticism. Therefore, he was eager to clarify the matter instead of worrying about every detail. What was special was that he did
I believe Jiang Feng has no intention of disrespecting Bai Ruoxi. "From the perspective of the damage to interests, this matter may be aimed at the marriage between the Bai family and the head of the Zhu family."
Um?
There was a layer of worry in the eyes of everyone present. Chu Yilin nodded silently and then ordered, "Wen Yin, go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion quickly and settle Bai Ruoxi's affairs. Especially, try your best to appease her emotions.
Don't let her talk nonsense. I'm afraid I have to discuss this matter with Bai Shiduo to get a result. Head Jiang, if it is really necessary, would you mind accompanying me to the Bai family to testify?"
"Okay." Since the matter of pretending to be Bai Ruoxi was not resolved before Chu Wenyin discovered it, Jiang Feng asked himself that he could not distance himself from the matter and stay out of the matter. What was special was that he had no ghosts in his heart. In the whole matter, he only took a set of skirts.
Apart from pretending and looking at some things he shouldn't have seen, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. However, he was a little worried about involving the Xiao family, especially at that time of confusion, whether Bai Ruoxi was awake and whether she remembered anything.
, he doesn’t even know.
"However, if I need to go, I will meet with Bai Ruoxi in advance."
Is it bribery in advance or a threat? An idea came to Chu Wenyin, and then she felt that she had entered a misunderstanding. She then remembered that Si Guanghao, who was forced to teach in the Qianshan Sect, would send it every ten days or so.
In the letter, the young leader was occasionally mentioned. Apart from the lack of distinction between public and private affairs and the suspicion of having several wives, there seemed to be no stain on him. Of course, Si Guanghao himself had stains. What he said
Can't quite believe it.
"Okay, I will take her to the Chu Mansion and arrange for you to meet in due course."
"Okay!" This is the best result, Jiang Feng thought to himself, if he asked to see Bai Ruoxi immediately, I am afraid that the suspicious woman would be even more suspicious, and she would not be able to clear it up, even if Xiao Mingzhen was accidentally involved.
Come in, I believe that the Chu family will not deliberately cause trouble. He believes that Chu Yilin, as the head of the family, does not want to do this.
Jiang Feng left the Chu family safely, and went out one step ahead of the guests who were about to leave, and went straight to the inn where he stayed. Although he knew from Xiao Mingzhen that Bai Ruoxi lived in Room B, Room 6, "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", he couldn't
Go first, otherwise it will only increase the other party's suspicion. Besides, Bai Ruoxi has a deep misunderstanding of herself. Although she doesn't know where this misunderstanding comes from, she has a good relationship with Chu Wenyin. Presumably Chu Wenyin's arrival can appease the other party immediately.
Emotionally and rationally recall what happened before.
After a hurried night like this, Kuang Shucai unexpectedly came to visit him at three o'clock in the morning the next day. Knowing that there was a female family member there, he did not enter Jiang Feng's guest room, but directly gave him an address.
"Here, you can see Li Da Bang. The code is to take one of each spiritual stone and buy a robe that can survive the winter."
Ah!
Jiang Feng smiled. He knew that only Kuang Shucai could find Li Dabang. Maybe if it were him, he wouldn't have thought that "being forcibly exploited" was also an opportunity, but Kuang Shucai, who was always willing to spend money, was not an ordinary person.
"Thanks!"
"Monkey and I will go to Yufeng Sect first. Although the Lingyong Feast is said to be safe, it is also dangerous if we don't make some preparations in advance." Ever since Jiang Feng gave him the qualification for the "Lingyong Feast" and was promoted to the prefectural level.
From then on, Kuang Shucai became more respectful towards Jiang Feng. However, Jiang Feng suspected that this was also because he had promised to fund the establishment of a casual cultivator team for a long time. Kuang Shucai had always had an unusual attitude towards his sponsors.
After sending Kuang Shucai away, who seemed to have something on his mind, Jiang Feng thought for a moment, took his apprentices Jiang Chengzi and Jiang Zhiwen, and told Zheng Keyi to stay here for a few days before quickly returning to Zhanchuan Town.
, Bai Ruoxi's incident also reminded him that a female cultivator with low cultivation level is still somewhat dangerous here. Although this may be a hidden trick of some people, wouldn't it be sad if the fire at the city gate affected Chi Yu?
What?
At dusk, Jiang Feng arrived at the store hidden deep in the alley that Kuang Shucai had mentioned. There was little business in the area, or even no business at all. Walking there, there was always a sense of walking through the secluded alleys under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Explore the feeling of charm of Zhenwucheng.
Pretending to be casual, I entered this grocery store called "Come to Me". The clerk who was idly counting spiritual stones behind the counter was a middle-aged monk, human race, and probably at the middle level of Qi refining.
"I want to buy a robe that can survive the winter." Jiang Feng took out five spiritual stones of different colors, all of which were first-level spiritual stones. With the goods in his storage bag, he wanted to find all the first-level spiritual stones of various colors.
Lingshi is indeed not an easy task. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng felt quite proud.
"Not enough money."
Um?
Jiang Feng was stunned. Didn't he say that it was just a password and a voucher? Why did he still say "not enough money"? However, thinking about the other party's behavior of counting spiritual stones in his spare time, he still took out five of them without hesitation.
Level 2, it’s easy to put together this time.
"I told you there wasn't enough money."
The middle-aged monk raised his head and looked at Jiang Feng solemnly this time. Jiang Feng also looked at him, but the other party did not give in because of his low cultivation level.
"How much does it take to survive the winter?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask.
The clerk took out a thick black ledger from under the counter and turned to the latest page. "This is what your friend bought from us for the winter. He said someone will come over soon to settle the bill."
What you can see are densely packed small prints, ranging from talismans to elixirs and consumable instruments, all of which are of very good quality, and even include a lot of supplies for non-monks. At the end, there are three words signed in an orderly manner:
Kuang Shucai!
This guy's feelings are asking me to settle the bill for you. Jiang Feng couldn't help but cursed in his heart, but he believed that Kuang Shu would not have no bottom line, so he asked, "Can we survive the winter only if we settle the bill?"
"yes!"
Jiang Feng could only obediently take out five third-level spirit stones. This time, he did not care whether the colors were different. The code Kuang Shucai said should be correct, but he still left a large debt.
"Follow me!" The man then marked Kuang Shucai's name heavily and led Jiang Feng into the inner room. The place was far more spacious than expected from the outside. There were all kinds of goods piled up everywhere and bundled densely.
The clerk wandered around among the goods, and finally opened a narrow secret door. The narrow stairs led directly to the underground. Only the orbs inlaid on the wall shone with a faint green light, flickering on and off.
"please!"
This battle looked quite unkind. Jiang Feng took a deep breath and secretly alerted himself. He had a few more ice charms in his sleeves and walked down the narrow but clean stairs. The waiter was there.
He didn't follow him, but stayed there. Seeing that Jiang Feng had disappeared, he gently closed the door, returned to the counter, and continued to count his spiritual stones.
The stairs went down several floors. According to Jiang Feng's perception, it was at least seven to eight feet deep underground. The side walls were damp and cold, but it should not be able to prevent the black stone from drilling into it. This is where Jiang Feng's confidence lies in daring to enter here. The worst is to run away, although
The "Heart Lock Jade Ring", which can be teleported by thinking about the location, is still cooling down, but there doesn't seem to be any aura of monks here.
There is no breath... Then who am I here to see? Do I really spend the winter in this ordinary vegetable cellar?
Thinking like this, Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of the light in front of him. With a few quick steps, he reached the deepest part of the room. This was a fairly neatly arranged room, with desks, tables and chairs, everything was clean and tidy.
Without losing generosity, there is a three-foot-square bronze mirror placed on the table in the middle.
Could it be because of this?
Jiang Feng thought of the communication function of the "Thousand-mile Yin-Yang Mirror" and thought that he would not rely on this. The two of them wrote sentence by sentence. It was not impossible to think about it. After all, Li Dabang's whereabouts were unpredictable, and he might not be able to find him so quickly.
, as long as the goal can be achieved, there is nothing wrong with it.
Thinking of this, he approached the bronze mirror and was about to use his spiritual power to write on the bronze mirror. However, he felt a burst of light on the bronze mirror, and soon a blurry figure appeared.
It was Li Da Bang. Although it was obvious that it was him, there was no image of him in his environment at all.
"Master Jiang, we meet again."
This familiar voice came from the void, as if Li Da Bang was right next to him.
