Pawn Crossing the River

There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.

Yellow sand rolled in and the earth trembled.

The two figures fought fiercely.

Chen Zheng was punched by the monk first and was half kneeling on the ground.

The monk's golden body became more and more dazzling, as if made of gold.

Chen Zheng struggled to get up first.

The monk looked calm and repeated his previous words: "For the sake of the common people in the world, please die for Master Chen."

Chen Zhengxian finally asked: "Do you know what it means to kill a master Shenzhi?"

The monk said calmly: "Of course the poor monk knows that if Master Chen dies, Jin Que must give an explanation to the Taoist sect. This explanation must have enough weight. The ancient immortal is not enough, and the ancient immortal is not that easy to kill."

"As for who killed Chen Zhenren, the truth is not important. The key is who the Taoist sect thinks did it. If the Taoist sect wants to start a war with the Holy Court, it is the people of the Holy Court who sneaked into the 'Sea of ​​Death' to do it. If the Taoist sect wants to If the Taoist sect wants to start a war with Buddhism, it will be done by the Buddhist sect, even if it is thousands of miles away from the Steam Gospel. Even if Chen Zhenren died in a natural disaster, it must be treated as such. "It's a political issue to deal with being stabbed to death."

"Of course, if the Taoist sect does not want to cause trouble, give an explanation, or start a war, but must focus on the overall situation and be determined, then no matter how much evidence there is, Chen Zhenren's death is still an accident, cannot be changed, and cannot be doubted. One The impact of a person's life or death is not as big as imagined. No matter who is missing from this world, it is still a human world. Be it immortals or gods, they all take themselves too seriously. "

"Maybe Chen Zhenren thinks that the Taoist sect will be furious, but the Taoist sect is not one person, the Taoist sect is many people. With so many minds, in the context of the division of the three realms, they may not all think the same way. Each has his or her own plans, and in the end the meal will be divided. So we’ll have to wait and see whether it will be thunder and rain, or dry thunder and no rain.”

"Speaking of which, isn't Master Chen curious about how this poor monk knows your specific itinerary?"

Hearing this, Chen Zheng first had some understanding: "Could it be that..."

But before he could finish his words, the monk had already killed him.

One punch.

The monk smashed Chen Zhengxian's head. The headless body still maintained the posture before death. The lotus crown that Chen Zhengxian righted first flew high and then fell into the monk's hands.

The monk's name is Monk Xiao. "Monk" is not only his identity, but also his name, just like someone in a Taoist sect is named "Taoist".

Monk Xiao exerted force in his hands, and the lotus crown was crushed into powder.

He glanced at the burning wreckage of the spaceship, and his figure slowly disappeared without leaving any trace.

On the other side, Qi Xuansu was the first to arrive in Yujing.

The Wanxiang Taoist Palace also has a "backyard" in Yujing, and relevant people have been waiting to welcome Qi Xuansu.

As soon as Qi Xuansu got off the flying boat, Chief Qian had already come up to greet Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to follow me. I'll go home for the next few days."

Manager Qian quickly agreed, which was expected. After all, Qi Zhenren was newly married and owned a mansion in Taishangfang. No matter how he looked at it, he would never go to the backyard of Wanxiang Taoist Palace. This backyard is actually prepared for those high-quality Taoist priests who have not settled in Yujing.

Qi Xuansu dismissed the people from Wanxiang Taoist Palace, led Yan Yongzhen into the carriage, and went straight to Taishangfang.

Before setting off, Qi Xuansu contacted Gong Jiaojun and decided to meet Donghua Master tomorrow, so he was not in a hurry to go to Zi Mansion and went home first.

Yan Yongzhen thought carefully. As early as Qi Xuansu's wedding, he deliberately left Ke Qingqing's contact information. This time Qi Xuansu returned to Beijing, he also notified Ke Qingqing in advance, and Ke Qingqing informed Zhang Yuelu.

When Qi Xuansu arrived home, Zhang Yuelu had not come back yet, but Ke Qingqing came back first. After talking to Ke Qingqing, Qi Xuansu learned that Zhang Yuelu usually did not go back to Taishangfang, but still lived in the house in Xuandu. First, he was used to it, second, it was closer to Tiangang Hall, and third, Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin were not at home. , it’s not interesting for her to guard an empty mansion by herself.

But now that Qi Xuansu is back, Zhang Yuelu will definitely come back. Moreover, a big house also has the advantages of a big house. The entourage can also live together without being crowded at all. There is no need to worry about disturbing yourself. The door is across the door and the yard is across the yard. Even if there is a martial arts contest and killing over there, you may not be able to hear it here.

When Zhang Yuelu comes back, he can inquire about things about the Western Regions. After all, the Di newspaper only mentioned it briefly, saying that Lingguan Mansion and Tiangang Hall issued an early warning. How exactly the warning was given? We have to ask these parties. As the chief of Tiangang Hall, Zhang Yuelu, He is also a veritable little master. He must know the inside information here, so that Qi Xuansu can prepare in advance. When he meets the real Donghua tomorrow, he will have something to say and something to say.

But Zhang Yuelu didn't come back until very late.

It is said that a long break is better than a newlywed. Qi Xuansu originally wanted to have some tenderness with Zhang Yuelu, but when he saw Zhang Yuelu's serious expression, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yuelu said in a deep voice: "Something happened to Master Fei Ling of the Western Region Taoist House."

Qi Xuansu was shocked and asked again: "When did it happen?"

Zhang Yuelu replied: "I got the news three hours ago, but the details are not very clear. I only know that something happened when passing through the 'Sea of ​​Death'. It is said that the flying boat had a hard landing. Jinque has sent people to rescue. Master and Master Jiang have gone. I am responsible for staying in Tiangang Hall. If you hadn't come back today, I would have wanted to inform you about this matter. I would have stayed in Tiangang Hall directly."

Qi Xuansu frowned: "Hard landing? What kind of bullshit is this? Isn't it a crash? I am familiar with this kind of thing!"

Zhang Yuelu was in a heavy mood. He sighed and said with a smile: "Yes, you are indeed familiar with it. If you hadn't heard of the shocking incident at the Kunlun Pass, I would not have made up my mind to marry you if I had jumped. "

Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed and waved his hand: "It's been a long time since this happened. Why are you talking about this? Let's talk about business."

Zhang Yuelu said seriously: "This is of course a temporary statement. According to the time, Master and others should have arrived at the scene, and there will be news soon. But I always feel a bit ominous, and I always feel that Chen Zhenren is in danger."

Qi Xuansu no longer had the mood to joke, and his face was very solemn: "Is it so serious?"

Zhang Yuelu pinched his eyebrows habitually: "I also hope it's my illusion."

What he said came, and Zhang Yuelu's sutra moved.

Zhang Yuelu made a gesture to Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu consciously shut up and swallowed what he wanted to say, and then Zhang Yuelu picked up the sutra, it was Cihang Zhenren.

The master and the apprentice had a very brief exchange, Zhang Yuelu just responded a few times, and then ended the call.

Qi Xuansu asked, "What did Cihang Zhenren say?"

Zhang Yuelu's face was gloomy: "Chen Zhenren has been found. It really made my words come true."

Qi Xuansu understood immediately.

It can't be said that Yujing reacted slowly. You have to know that the "Sea of ​​Death" is about 2,000 miles long from east to west and about 800 miles wide from north to south, which is larger than a state.

What is the concept?

In terms of area, the area of ​​the "Sea of ​​Death" is twice that of Qizhou. The two Qizhous added together are equivalent to one "Sea of ​​Death". But this is still an uninhabited desert. Let alone Taoist temples and Taoist temples, there are not even camels.

In terms of distance, the straight-line distance from Jinling Prefecture to Dijing is only about 1,800 miles, which is also not as good as the more than 2,000 miles from east to west of the "Sea of ​​Death".

It is impossible that someone took action in Jinling Prefecture and Dijing immediately sensed it. There is no such reason. When Siming Zhenjun descended in Jinling Prefecture, it was still a densely populated area, and the Taoist sect also needed some time to react. From Jinling Prefecture to Penglai Island where the national master is, or to Yunjin Mountain where the heavenly master is, the straight-line distance is not 2,000 miles.

This does not include the distance between Kunlun and the Great Snow Mountain, which is the outer circle of the Chinese character "Hui".

It is understandable that the Taoist sect did not react.

But the problem lies here. The "Sea of ​​Death" is too big. How can the ambushers accurately ambush?

I am afraid that there is a traitor leaking the news.

Zhang Yuelu continued: "Master and his men are on their way back. Let's go to Tiangang Hall and wait for them first."

Qi Xuansu naturally had no objection.

This is destined to be a sleepless night. Jinque will discuss matters all night.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu left Taishangfang and came to Tiangang Hall in Xuandu.

This is also the place where Qi Xuansu had fought before. Many people still know Qi Xuansu. When they saw Qi Xuansu coming in, they greeted him. However, they used to call him "Xiao Qi" or "Tianyuan". Now they have to respectfully call him "Taiwei Zhenren" or "Qi Zhenren". There is already a thick barrier between them.

The two came all the way to the signing room of the Zhenren Zhangtang. Yujing is a place of gold and silver. Of course, it cannot be compared with the local Daofu. It is not big. Qian Wan and Xiao Yueru were still here. When they saw Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu coming in, they all stood up to greet them.

Zhang Yuelu said directly: "The head of the hall will be back soon. We may have to discuss matters tonight. You should prepare."

The two took the order and left.

At this moment, Cihang Zhenren was talking to Donghua Zhenren.

"Xuan Ji, I have bad news for you. Chen Zhenren is dead. Only his headless body was found at the scene. The lotus crown was destroyed. All other attendants, including the secretary, died in the accident."

"Zhisheng, what do you think?"

"There are traces of fighting at the crash site of the flying boat. It is suspected that a warrior attacked, and he was a human immortal. On the wreckage of the flying boat, traces of divine power were found, which should be related to the ancient immortal."

"The ancient immortal is not so brave. This matter may not be so simple, especially at this time."

"I think so too. It is likely to be the Buddhist sect. To be able to ambush accurately, there must be an insider. It seems that some of our people are already unscrupulous."

"It is too early to draw a conclusion now. Let's talk about the specific situation when we meet."

"Okay, we will be in Yujing soon."
