subordinates dare not

There are also many Jianghu schools in Beishuo and southern borders, but they are far away from the land of Jianghuai. Unless it is a very famous school, Hua Qiongsheng has heard of it, but Hua Qiongsheng has no impression of Qinghongmen.Maybe Qinghong Sect is just a small sect, or the members of this sect are very low-key.

But Hua Qiongsheng didn't show any doubts on his face, but he bowed his hands openly in return, and said with a smile: "The owner of the Qiongguang Valley, Hua Qiongsheng, has met the head of the sect, and it is also a fate to meet."

"Qiongguang Valley?" Duan Jinghong laughed, "I have admired the name of the owner of the valley for a long time. Qiongguanggu's medical skills are the first in the world, which is really admirable and enviable. I remember that there was a big battle in Jianghuai, and Qiongguanggu was in In that battle, he also saved many knights, he is really a kind-hearted person, which is admirable."

What he was talking about was about a battle against demons, Hua Qiongsheng knew it in his heart, and quickly waved his hands, "Don't dare."

"The owner of the valley and others come with me, I will take you to find the traces of Yi Laochong." After saying that, Duan Jinghong turned around and walked in another direction.

Hua Qiongsheng conveniently uprooted the extremely old wood that Duan Yizhi Jinghong said, since it can restrain old insects, she thought it might be useful, so she put it away first, and then followed closely.

Duan Jinghong was alone in front, walked for half an hour, and then suddenly stopped, there was an ordinary piece of land under the cloth shoes, it was not much different from just now, but it was not as good as what he said. Poison the dwarf wood that leans on the old bug, "Dig it, the deeper you go, the more it will grow."

Hua Qiongsheng, Bian Qingyu and Yang Qi looked at each other, and then without saying a word, began to pry open the hard ground and the gravel embedded in it with the tools they brought.

About half an hour later, Hua Qiongsheng suddenly exclaimed, "I dug it!"

Yang Qi and Bian Qingyu took a closer look, and saw that there was indeed a light brown translucent caterpillar wriggling in front of them. It had no eyes, six legs, and was about the length of a fingernail. Looking closely, it looked exactly like the one on the drawing. There is no difference, it is indeed an old bug.

Hua Qiongsheng was the first to react, and turned over the soil near the worm with the shovel. The soil became more humid as it went down. Hua Qiongsheng quickly removed the surrounding soil and debris. Dozens of bugs that were exactly the same as just now gathered into groups.

Hua Qiongsheng smiled happily, turned his head to Duan Jinghong who was standing behind him and said, "Thank you, Master Duan, for making this trip worthwhile!"

"It's just a little effort." Duan Jinghong nodded and chuckled.

Looking back again, I saw a group of Yi Lao Chong who seemed to be frightened by the direct sunlight, running around in a hurry, and some even gathered into a group in a panic. Hua Qiongsheng was planning to catch dozens of them, and stretched his hand into the air In the process, just as he was about to meet those dense swarms of insects, he stopped suddenly, and quickly retracted them.

gross.

Hua Qiongsheng poked his neck and said, "Well... Yang Hanxue... Since you are willing to help me, why not help someone to catch me..."

Yang Qi opened his eyes, "How many?"

Hua Qiongsheng took half a step back, "I want at least fifty of them. Fifty of them are enough for me to study hard for a month."

"Fifty?" Yang Qi asked again, "I caught them all?"

Hua Qiongsheng nodded fiercely, "The deputy owner doesn't know medical skills, so it's not good if he gets hurt by bugs."

"What about you?" Yang Qi raised his head calmly and said, "You just watch me grab it?"

Hua Qiongsheng forced a few dry laughs, a little lacking in confidence.

The corner of Yang Qi's lips twitched, and he raised his eyebrows: "Are you afraid of insects?"

Hua Qiongsheng: "..."

"Yes." Hua Qiongsheng simply smashed the jar and retorted angrily, "I asked you to catch a worm and you asked all kinds of questions. Didn't I also treat the illnesses of you people in Wuwei Villa? You insist on fighting with me. I’m afraid of worms, what’s wrong with this matter, I’m afraid of worms, I’m afraid of worms, I’m just afraid of worms, why don’t I have an annoying thing!”

Yang Qi lowered his head with a half-smile, he had already caught a few of them, and put them neatly into the wooden box, and replied at the same time: "What the owner of the valley said is that I will catch a box of old worms for the owner immediately. apologize."

Hua Qiongsheng finally felt more at ease, and casually laughed back, "Knowing that I'm afraid of worms, I still use worms to make amends, it's really dishonest."

Yang Qi didn't speak anymore, just lowered his head and concentrated on catching insects.

Seeing that Yang Qi was silent, Hua Qiongsheng thought it was his casual joke that made the other party angry, but unfortunately he couldn't see Yang Qi's expression, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, so he stood for a while, and finally waited for the other party to stand up.

"Well, I--" Hua Qiongsheng was a little hesitant to speak, and he rarely stumbled when he was always eloquent.

"It's over." Yang Qi placed the wooden box in the palm of his hand, and held the wooden box in front of Hua Qiongsheng's eyes. Seeing that the latter was still a little dazed, he said sincerely with a blank face, "Since you don't want to accept If I use a box of worms to make amends, then I will attack you for another month, but I don’t know, is there still a shortage of people for the Valley Master of Qiongguang Valley, who can call the wind and rain under thousands of people?”

This time, it took several months to catch Yi Laochong and go back to recuperate his body for the deputy owner. Hua Qiongsheng was the only person who came here with Qiongguanggu's medical skills. With Yang Qi's help, of course it would be twice the result with half the effort of.

The moment she heard the words, Hua Qiongsheng's heart was suffocated. At that moment, she didn't dare to look into Yang Qi's eyes. She didn't know why.

Hua Qiongsheng quickly snatched the wooden box from Yang Qi's hand, turned his head to avoid the other party's sight, pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's missing, it should be."

At that time, the red sun slanted at the end of the treetops, and the shadow of the tree stretched out a long line.

Duan Jinghong saw that the matter of catching Yi Laochong had come to an end, so he kindly invited: "I don't think it's getting early, Fushan is not far away, there is my family's mansion, the weather is extremely hot, and the journey is also difficult, you can rest at my place Leave for one night?"

If Duan Jinghong hadn't met, Hua Qiongsheng and his party originally planned to leave in half an hour, but they didn't expect that it would take half an hour for the other party to lead the way to find Yi Laochong. , Hurrying back, I am afraid that the sky is already dark and the place is unfamiliar, and if there is an ambush on the road, it is not easy to retreat completely.

Since Duan Jinghong has already helped once, and has truthfully disclosed his identity, let's believe that he has no malicious intentions.

Bian Qingyu glanced at Hua Qiongsheng, nodded slightly, and the latter quickly understood what he meant.

"Then it's disrespectful." Hua Qiongsheng laughed, "Thank you, Master Duan."

"Haven't you come back yet?" Meng Fuyuan asked the little boy guarding the gate casually.

"Go back to the owner, not yet."

"Understood." Meng Fuyuan nodded, thinking in his heart, it was already the end of the day, probably the situation had changed, and he would not come back by playing by ear.

Meng Fuyuan wasn't worried. In terms of connections, Bian Qingyu had more people in Beishuo than himself, and Bian Qingyu didn't have a temperament to be slaughtered. If he didn't meet a strong enemy, he wouldn't let himself get into trouble. Thinking too much would be futile increase troubles.

Meng Fuyuan was also bored, so he went to the study room, picked a few books to read, and found them boring, so he simply took out a clean book, polished his ink for a while, and began to write something casually.

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, disturbing Master Meng who was concentrating on writing.

Meng Fuyuan folded the paper in half, pressed it under the paperweight, and took out another blank Shuxuan.

"Huo Yi?"

"I'll send some summer fruits to the owner."

"Well, what is it?" Meng Fuyuan raised his chin curiously.

Huo Yi gently put the fruit plate aside, lifted the porcelain cover, and saw plump, juicy, red cherries overflowing with water.

"I love cherries." Meng Fuyuan smiled and twirled a cherry, and then said to Huo Yidao, "Don't go, sit down and accompany me."

Huo Yi sat down on the armchair opposite Meng Fuyuan, on the table was still the blank rice paper.

"I just want to ask you something." Meng Fuyuan picked up a pen and slowly drew several circles on the white paper. In the center of one of the circles, he wrote the word "I" in cursive, and in the center of the other circle, filled in cursive "" Then turn the Shuxuan half a circle, so that when Huo saw the word "I", he would read it backwards.

"There are some things that I don't understand, maybe the authorities are just delusional."

"Master, please tell me."

"Now in front of you, it seems that everything is peaceful. But in fact, you can only be sure that one sect is your ally, and the rest are enemies or friends. It is difficult to distinguish, and other large and small circles represent large and small circles. Some of the sects in Xiaojiao are villains in disguise, and they are big villains that you need to eradicate. At this time, what will you do?"

Huo Yi thought for a moment, "I also represent a Jianghu sect, right?"

Meng Fuyuan nodded, "Yes. And you are only sure of one of them, which is the friendly army." After speaking, Meng Fuyuan stretched out his finger to the circle with "friend".

"I should try one by one, if there is enough time." Huo Yi replied, "Then unite with the decent and annihilate the villains."

"But you can't be sure, which ones are decent and which ones are villains? As I said, some of them are villains in disguise." Meng Fuyuan asked immediately.

"Some things are certain." Huo Yi said in a deep voice, "there are only two kinds of sects in the Jianghu. One is to start halfway and suddenly become famous, and the other is to pass on from generation to generation and become famous for a long time. The rest of the small sects, I'm afraid it's not enough strength, even if it's a villain, it's easy to be wiped out, it's not worth mentioning at all, so there are only two situations."

"Sects that have been famous for a long time have a foundation of hundreds of years. If it is a villain, there are only two situations. One, the villain cannibalize this sect, and two, the roots of this sect are rotten from the beginning. It is bad from the beginning to the end, and it is impossible for no one to find out before it develops into a great sect. It means that there is only one possibility, that is, the villain cannibalize the great sect. Take advantage of major events in the world, visit the great sect, pay attention to observation, and even time Enough, if you plant spies, you can always find clues.”

"It makes sense." Meng Fuyuan's tone showed a tinge of appreciation, "If you tried it out and found no problem, you can win over this great sect and become your ally, so that you will have a better chance of winning in the face of the villain who may make a comeback at any time. "

"Then what if time is running out, and the villain's power is so strong that you and your known allies can't fight against it?" Meng Fuyuan pretended to be contemplative, "In terms of time, maybe five years?" , It is known that there are still five years before the villain can make a comeback, once the villain breaks the disguise and confronts you head-on, it means that the villain will definitely face you, and he has a great chance of winning."

"Since the villain has already appeared in the world? Isn't it clear at a glance whether the remaining ones are enemies or friends?" Huo Yi didn't think about it, "Directly unite with the remaining decent people to fight against the villain."

"What if you can't beat all the decency?"

"Can't beat it?" Huo Yi frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "The owner wants to say, a villain like the Devil's Cult?"

"Yes, it's a powerful villain like the Demon Cult." Meng Fuyuan thought about it and added, "You can use the word Demon Cult instead, it's completely fine."

Huo Yi: "Okay, then I'll just talk about the Devil's Cult, that is to say, assuming that the Devil's Cult will appear in the world in five years, but once it appears, the decent has almost no chance of winning. The only way is to pretend to be decent in the Devil's Cult Kill it in the cradle."

"Yes."

"Then I will directly tell everyone in the world that the Demon Church will regain its previous power in five years, so the decent will definitely work together to find the Demon Cult, and the decent people who pretend to be the Demon Cult can only pretend and dare not appear in the world. The owner of the villa is afraid that he has forgotten one thing. At this time, the strength of the Demon Cult is not as good as that of the decent, so it doesn't matter even if you scare the snake. On the contrary, after five years, it will be too late to scare the snake."

Meng Fuyuan's expression froze, "What if the Demon Cult blurred his vision and mingled with the decent, identifying the decent as the Demon Cult, so that he could escape the catastrophe?"

"Small sects are not worth mentioning, and they don't constitute the core force of the decency. Even if they are framed, they will be imprisoned temporarily, or someone will be sent to keep an eye on them. In the future, when the real demon sect emerges, they will be released. Great sects, I don't believe that sects can be suppressed." The Demon Cult is nibbling away silently."

Huo Yi's tone was firm, "It's because I'm afraid that the opponent's strength is higher than my own, but if the chances of winning are enough, why should I be afraid to scare the snake? Now there are only two sects looking for the Demon Sect. My allies and I are too few. All corners of the world are mobilized. If the Demon Cult can't hold back and is unwilling to pretend to appear in the world ahead of time, then the Demon Cult will be wiped out directly."

"You're right." Meng Fuyuan chuckled, then restrained his smile, and said seriously, "But things are still not that simple, so I'll add two more conditions to you."

"First, you reminded the decent once before, but the decent didn't take it seriously, and just arrested one person indiscriminately. Second, you once strayed into the Demon Sect, and you had an indelible past with the Demon Sect. That is to say, you are in danger of being framed as the real Demon Cult by the Demon Cult pretending to be decent. At this time, what will you do?"

"The first point." Huo Yi quickly gave the answer, "I think, maybe the way of reminding is wrong, or maybe the situation is not serious enough. Since we can confirm that the Demon Cult is alive, why not just say it, including all the judgments about the Demon Cult's existence." The reason is that only the entire public can arouse everyone's vigilance. People in Jianghu are not stupid, and they dare not slack off in the face of the rebirth of the Demon Cult."

Huo Yi's words made some sense, Meng Fuyuan remained calm on the face, but what he was thinking in his heart was that the case of the Chiyan Gang was just the evil magic of the Demon Cult, and it is true that we cannot be completely sure that the main force of the Demon Cult is still alive, so everyone hastily settled down. But Bian Qingyu was able to confirm that Ji Hongyi was still alive. If this news spread in the Jianghu, everyone's attitude towards the case of the Chiyan Gang would be completely different.

"That's right, but at this time the most critical issue comes back to the second point. You once entered the Devil's Cult by mistake, and this experience, as long as someone digs it out, will eventually reappear. You have been identified as the Devil's Cult. What will you do then?"

"Walking in? Was it taken away by the Demon Cult? Or was it deceived?"

Meng Fuyuan recalled the conversation with Bian Qingyu that day, and quickly made a judgment, "I was captured by the Demon Sect, and then escaped."

Huo nodded a little, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Why?"

Meng Fuyuan was stunned, a strange feeling came to his mind, before he had time to savor it carefully, he heard the other party say again——

"If you were captured by the Devil's Cult, and later escaped after all kinds of hardships, why would the decent think you are the Devil's Cult? Shouldn't the decent believe that you hate the Devil's Cult to the bone?"

The moment the words just fell, Meng Fuyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood what Huo Yi meant, and slowly, Meng Fuyuan's eyebrows were tightly knit together.

Bian Qingyu really lied to me again.
