lead fades away

"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Qing Shi said, "Since Uncle Cheng has the ability to bring you out of the Shen family and has taken care of you for so many years, he shouldn't be killed so easily, right? The one who assassinated you yesterday Those two are only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so it's obvious that they don't take you very seriously."

"That's the killer of Wuzong Valley! Do you know how much it costs to hire a killer from Wuzong Valley?! Even the cheapest killer in the refining period costs hundreds of high-grade spirit stones!" Shen Chenzhou was lightly ignorant It made me dumbfounded.

"Then your life value is 1000 yuan top grade... Oh, no, the one who came yesterday was in the foundation building period, so add a zero, 1 yuan? Are you worth 1 yuan in spirit stones?" Qing said disapprovingly.

"I'm afraid you have to be disappointed again, my life is really not worth ten thousand spirit stones." Shen Chenzhou smiled wryly.However, he was in a much better mood after being teased by Qingshi, and instead said, "Speaking of which, I was lucky to go with you yesterday, otherwise let alone the two killers, just the one who delivered the tea outside the door." I have to take my life away."

——It was because I was afraid that something would happen to you that I went there with you on purpose!

Qing Shi thought this way in his heart, but said on his mouth, "Don't say this kind of thank you words that don't hurt or itch, and come to something more affordable, such as giving me all the support for next month?"

"Success, as long as you don't think it's too little." Shen Chenzhou agreed generously.

"I've made a deal, don't go back on my word!" Qing Shi didn't show any kindness to him. Anyway, the foundation-building cultivator's monthly support is only dozens of low-grade spirit stones and a small bottle of Peiyuan Pill, but any monk with a little heart and ability will not count on it. Live with this little thing.

"However, if the Uncle Cheng really... had an accident, you don't have to count me in your shop." Shen Chenzhou said, "Of course, if you need an errand runner, maybe I can help."

"Let's talk about the shop, I'm not in a hurry for you." Qingshi waved his hand and said, "By the way, did you get any results from what I asked you to inquire about last time?"

"The matter of Yu Wei's apprenticeship has not yet been settled. None of the people I know is familiar with Huai Chu Xianjun, and it is a bit difficult to inquire about." Shen Chenzhou said, "You can find out about the Wanwutang, so Wei hasn't found a new source of goods yet, and what he's selling now is just the old stock, it seems that he deliberately hid a lot of the things Yu Wang made, just waiting for an emergency like this."

"That little bastard!" Qing Shi couldn't help cursing.

Qingshi and Shen Chenzhou were talking, but suddenly another disciple on duty came outside the door, and asked Shen Chenzhou to go to the front hall immediately, and Daojun Qixin summoned him.

"Just call me alone?" Shen Chenzhou said in a daze, "Do you want me to bring Junior Brother Qingshi there?"

"The peak master didn't say anything." The disciple shook his head and said.

Shen Chenzhou glanced at Qingshi, "Come with me?"

"Go ahead, let's join in the fun." Qing Shi nodded happily.

Qing Shi called Wang Shuo, the two of them followed the disciple to the front hall immediately.

As soon as he entered the front hall, Shen Chenzhou froze suddenly, and saw two monks sitting on the head of Daoist Qixin, one was Guan Sha, the eldest disciple under the seat of Thirteen Chu, and the other had slightly gray hair on his temples The foundation-building period old man.

"Cheng Bo?!" Shen Chenzhou involuntarily opened his mouth wide and called out.

"Young Master!" The old man quickly stood up and bowed to Shen Chenzhou excitedly.

Shen Chenzhou was about to rush forward to recognize each other, but Qingshi beside him punched him unceremoniously. Shen Chenzhou immediately remembered that he had not yet greeted Daoist Qixin and Guan Sha, so he quickly restrained his mind and saluted the two seated people solemnly , "Disciple Shen Chenzhou pays respects to Master, Brother Guan."

"Disciple Yan Qingshi pays homage to Daoist Qixin, Senior Brother Guan." Qingshi followed suit, and Wang Shuo moved his paw, as if wanting to make fun of it, but immediately put it down again, obviously thinking of himself" "grandfather" identity.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Daoist Qixin chuckled and raised his finger to the old monk in the foundation period, "Shen Zhou, do you know this monk?"

"The disciple recognizes him, he is the city uncle I mentioned to you." Shen Chenzhou said hastily.

"Young master, if it weren't for the help of the fairy head of the Xiantrumen, this old slave would not have seen you!" Cheng Bo interjected with tears in his eyes, and at the same time bowed solemnly to Guan Sha.

"Senior Brother Guan saved you?" Shen Chenzhou asked while saluting to Guan Sha.

Guan Sha quickly stood up and supported him, "Where is it? It was Master Qi from the Xingtang who really made the move. I just happened to be there."

After speaking, Guan Sha recounted what happened.

It turned out that Guan Sha was out on business with Qi Yunfeng, the steward of the punishment hall, and when he came back, he ran into Cheng Bo who was being chased and killed.Seeing that the two of them were serving in Xianchumen, the city uncle immediately called for help and called out the relationship between Shen Chenzhou and Daoist Qixin's names. Qi Yunfeng rescued him and escorted him all the way back to Xiantrumen.

—Going out on business?Could it be to investigate Shen Shenzhou?How could it be such a coincidence?

Qing Shi, who was listening, immediately became suspicious.

On the other side, after listening to Guan Sha's story, Shen Chenzhou hurriedly thanked Guan Sha again with Chengbo, and asked about Qi Yunfeng's current whereabouts, planning to come to the door to thank him.

Seeing them push back and forth and thank you, they were so busy that they were so busy, Qing Shi suddenly felt bored, walked around to Qixin Daojun, and said goodbye.

Daoist Qixin didn't keep him either, but only asked him to go back and greet Han Shuo on behalf of his descendants.

Qing Shi naturally agreed, turned around and greeted Guan Sha, Shen Chenzhou and Shen Chenzhou's city uncle, "Senior Guan, brother Shen Zhou, city uncle, please chat slowly, I will leave first."

Guan Sha and Qingshi were not familiar with each other, so he just nodded, and Shen Chenzhou hurriedly cupped his hands, "Junior brother, go slowly, today's incident happened suddenly, forgive me for being negligent."

"Why are you polite, which one of us is with whom?" Qing Shi returned him with a reassuring smile, then patted Wang Shuo and left the first peak.

After coming down from the first peak, Qingshi habitually walked to the fourth peak. After walking for a long time, he realized that he should go back to Han Shuo's cave instead of wandering around Fairy Fengxi, although Fairy Fengxi must be very fond of Zong. I know a lot about the recent changes in the door, but it has nothing to do with me, so it's better to avoid suspicion.

——Since Han Shuo got involved, his life became more and more uncomfortable.

Qingshi sighed, and started chatting with Wangshuo again, but there was no one sentence, no righteous words, even if someone passed by, it would just be regarded as Qingshi talking to the spirit beast.

After returning to Han Shuo's cave, Qingshi found that Han Shuo was not in the cave. After thinking about it, he decided to relax for a while, so he took the best teapot and cup of tea, and made tea in the courtyard in a serious manner. .

Wang Shuo was not interested in this bitter soup, so he told Qingshi to go to the fifth peak to see the spirit beast, and then he jumped into the stone room, not knowing what to do.

He didn't care about it at all, he took out the mountain spring water he had treasured, boiled the water, put the tea in, brewed it, poured it into a cup, and sipped the tea carefully.Although this spring water has no spiritual power, the taste of the tea that can be brewed is excellent, far from being comparable to the pure water drawn from strange-tasting spiritual springs or water diversion formulas.

While sipping the fragrant tea in the cup, Qing Shi's thoughts quickly turned to Shen Chenzhou again.

Shen Chenzhou's life experience should not be fake. Qi Yunfeng and Guan Shaken of the punishment hall brought the city uncle back to Xianchumen and treated him with courtesy. Fake identities are justifiable.

However, Qingshi's trust in that city uncle is far less than that of Shen Shenzhou.Anyway, he also lived in the Yan family for nearly a year, and he has a considerable understanding of the rigor and rigor of the backyard of today's aristocratic family.With his ability, it took a lot of effort to quietly replace the four-year-old baby from Yan's family. How could the city uncle, an ordinary foundation-building monk, remove Shen Chenzhou from Yan's family so easily? Brought out by the Shen family which is several times stronger than the Yan family?But they not only brought it out, but also sent it to a good place like Xiantrumen, and made offerings for more than ten years at one go, making it hard to say anything.

——It shouldn't be malicious, otherwise Shen Chenzhou's trust in Cheng Bo would have died a long time ago.

Qing Shi quickly thought of Shen Shenzhou's assassination.Shen Chenzhou obviously believed that his stepmother did it, but Qingshi couldn't help but think of Ximen Hao, who has been missing recently.Since returning from injury, he has never seen Ximen Hao again, nor heard any news related to Ximen Hao.

——Could it be that he has already been imprisoned?

Qing Shi was guessing wildly that Han Shuo had returned.

"Elder Han." Qing Shi didn't get up, but turned around and smiled.

"You are elegant." Han Shuo glanced at Qingshi, walked to the table and sat down.

"Stealing Fusheng for half a day." Qing Shi set out a teacup and put it in front of Han Shuo, picked up the teapot, and filled it up for him.

Han Shuo took a sip from his teacup, then looked at Qingshi again, and asked, "Did the disciples of Shisanchu bring you to the First Peak to meet Shen Chenzhou?"

"Eh?" Qing Shi was slightly taken aback, "You mean the city uncle that Guan Sha brought over?"

"I don't know what it's called." Han Shuo said, "Qi Yunfeng went to investigate Shen Shenzhou's background, but after many investigations, he found out that the Shen family was a mess. On the way back, he even rescued a man who claimed to be The monk of Shen Chenzhou's family servant."

"Sure enough, I don't think it's so easy to draw swords to help when the road is injustice." Qing Shi curled his lips, "However, this is the end of the investigation? Don't you want to pursue it?"

"Qi Yunfeng brought back Shen Xitong's personal letters proving Shen Shenzhou's identity, what else is there to check?" Han Shuo took another sip of tea and continued, "And this matter was born at my request. If I If you don’t open your mouth, who cares about the origin of his minor foundation establishment cultivation.”

"Shen Xitong? Shen Chenzhou's grandfather? Does he know that Shen Chenzhou is in the Xianchumen?" Qingshi couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Han Shuo asked puzzled.

"I was thinking, could it be that his grandfather sent someone to take Shen Chenzhou out of Shen's house and send him to Xiantrumen?" Qing Shi said.

Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked, "So what? The Shen family and my Xian Chumen have always been friends. If I knew that he was Shen Xitong's grandson, I would only take care of him even more."

"Yeah, it's nothing to the Xiantrumen." Qingshi showed a face of sarcasm, thinking, keep the good-qualified first-in-law by his side and educate him carefully, and send the first-in-law with average aptitude to other mountain gates to be self-reliant. The Patriarch of the Shen family is very calculating.

If Shen Chenzhou succeeds in Xian Chumen, he only hates that stepmother anyway, and most of the female cultivators who have given birth to children are of limited age. There are not many fierce female cultivators in the entire Upper Realm.After Shen Chenzhou's success, as long as the Shen family puts all their sins on the stepmother who may not be able to stay in this world, Shen Chenzhou will continue to serve the Shen family.If Shen Chenzhou can't make a living, the Shen family can only cut off a rotten branch and leaf from their own big tree, so as to remove obstacles for the descendants below to inherit the family business in a legitimate way.

——I just don't know if Shen Chenzhou will hate the whole Shen family when he finds out about this.

Qing Shi sneered.

"What's going on in your head?" Seeing Qingshi's strange expression, Han Shuo couldn't help frowning.

"You know you're just thinking wildly, what else can you have?" Qing Shi chuckled, then asked, "That's all for Shen Chenzhou, what about Ximen Hao?"

Han Shuo lowered his eyelids and said indifferently, "As you said, I don't want to touch him without evidence."

"Hey?" Qing Shi was stunned for a moment, "Then recently, the teleportation circle is closed and the mountain protection circle is inspected. What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm looking for evidence." Han Shuo replied blankly.

Qingshi blinked, then suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "Xian Chumen's teleportation circle is the kind that records the ins and outs of all teleportation symbols?!"

"Isn't my Xiantrumen not equipped with such a complicated teleportation circle?" Han Shuo said calmly.

--Depend on!If I had known this way, I would never use a teleportation talisman!

Qing Shi grinds his teeth with hatred, but he can only sit down obediently.

"The teleportation circle will return to normal tomorrow." Han Shuo continued.

"Normal is normal, anyway, it has nothing to do with me." Qing Shi wanted to say that he would never use sound transmission symbols again, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was impossible, so he curled his lips and brought the topic back to the original position , "That is to say, the evidence has been found?"

"Probably." Han Shuo looked at Qingshi, hesitant to speak.

Qing Shi didn't pay much attention to it, but Han Shuo didn't want to go out casually, so he brought up the matter of Wang Shuo going to the fifth peak to watch the excitement. If Han Shuo refused, he should quickly find another way to avoid breaking his promise.

Han Shuo obviously hesitated for a while, and Qingshi said hastily, "Why don't you take it there, anyway, I only promised to let it go, I didn't say that I must accompany it."

"...You can take it with you." Han Shuo hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, then raised his hand to drink up the tea in the cup, put it back on the table, and then said to Qingshi, "Come here."

Qing Shi was slightly taken aback, Han Shuo's mood seemed a little weird, but he couldn't see the reason for the weirdness, so he stood up obediently and walked in front of Han Shuo.

Han Shuo stretched out his hand to pull him closer, grabbed his hands, raised his head and said, "Remember you have quite a few defensive artifacts, don't always hide them in storage artifacts, find them and use them, these few days I'm afraid it will be uneasy, so you should be more careful."

"Oh." Qing Shi replied in a daze.

"Remember!" Han Shuo said in a deep voice.

"Yes—" Although Qing Shi disapproved, he answered loudly in response to the situation.

Han Shuo stopped talking, raised his hand and patted Qingshi's cheek, then got up and went to the upper stone chamber, leaving Qingshi there alone in a daze.

——What are you doing? !

Qing Shi couldn't figure it out, so he decided to follow Wang Shuo's example, turned around, and continued to savor the tea he had brewed.

On the second day, the sound transmission talisman could be used normally, but Qingshi lost the mood to send the sound transmission talisman to others, so he called Wang Shuo and went directly to the fifth peak.

Qingshi is not very familiar with the fifth peak, and it is not convenient for him to wander around the peak as a non-fifth peak disciple.After thinking about it, he brazenly issued Zhang Chuan Yinfu, called Wang Xiaobo out, and acted as a guide for him and Wangshuo.

Qing Shi thought that Wang Xiaobo might not agree, but Wang Xiaobo quickly ran over from the disciple's house, still holding his little beast in his arms. Although he was obviously timid when he saw Wang Shuo, After finding that Wang Shuo was not always intimidating like the previous two times, he soon lost his timidity and cheerfully led Qing Shi and Wang Shuo around the Fifth Peak.

In fact, there are not many rare spirit beasts on the fifth peak. After all, the Xianchumen is not a sect like the Yulingzong, which started with the beasts and used the spirit beasts as its own combat power. There are only a handful of disciples who really understand the beasts. The significance of spirit beasts to Xiantrumen is more like that of mortals in the lower world raising animals in captivity, but for food, transportation, and entertainment.

Wang Shuo was a ferocious beast, he had no sympathy for those spirit beasts in captivity, but Wang Xiaobo's eyes turned red when he mentioned that many of them would be slaughtered, and he was so annoyed that he hurriedly pushed He goes elsewhere.

After walking around, Wang Shuo lost interest and saw that there was nothing interesting about the Fifth Peak, and asked to leave.

Qing Shi didn't like this place full of the stench of spirit beasts at all, so he was very happy to hurry to leave.

But when he heard that they were going to leave, Wang Xiaobo couldn't bear it—Qingshi felt that he just couldn't bear to look at this ancient spirit beast, and tearfully persuaded him to keep it.Qing Shi talked badly, and promised that he would bring Wang Shuo over again in the future, so he calmed down and waved goodbye to them reluctantly.

——Let's stay away from this baby in the future!

Qing Shi muttered to himself a little bit, while wiping off the profuse sweat from his brow.

Leaving the fifth peak, Qingshi and Wangshuo went straight back to the Wuming Valley, but when they arrived at the entrance of the valley, they were stopped by a miscellaneous disciple, saying that several disciples who entered the palace were looking for him.

Qing Shi was puzzled and went to the Elder's Hall. After asking, he found out that since the teleportation array had returned to normal, these disciples who entered the hall felt that they should be fine. Take a look at the friendship between each other.Looking for Qingshi also wanted to pull him to go there, so that even if Han Shuo knew about it, someone would support him—of course, this was just Qingshi's opinion, and those disciples would not speak so bluntly.

It's not easy to refuse this kind of thing, but Qingshi didn't dare to agree rashly, he just said that he had to ask Elder Han first, and he could only go out after getting his permission - not only him, but everyone.

As soon as he said that, the other disciples urged him to ask quickly, and Qing Shi took advantage of the opportunity to go back to the cave.

Fortunately, Han Shuo did not leave like yesterday. It sounded like he wanted to go down the mountain to have a drink with those disciples. Han Shuo was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Go with them. Wang Shuo will stay in the cave so that you don't have to worry about it." It’s not fun to play with it.”

Qing Shi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and soon smiled brightly, "Thank you, Elder Han, for your understanding."
