Chapter 84: The corpse downtown
Old Long Shang's face turned slightly red, but he had to answer in the end: "He himself..."
"He couldn't think so he burst his head out?"
Long Shang had nothing to say. In fact, Gui Yan also understood what he meant. There was no one. At least he and Gui Yan did not find anyone involved. Wang Renye, who was waiting to make a deal with them, would definitely not be so desperate that he committed suicide. In this way, the result would be very obvious.
Someone bypassed the guards of the two Six Desire Demons and killed the King Renye to silence him. What is this?
"Oh, this is really good news!"
Zhai Que'er stepped in, and Yu Ci was next to her. For more than three hours, they were wandering around the various markets in the mountains, but they didn't run too far. However, compared with Gui Yan, their speed was still a little inferior, so they fell behind.
The tone of voice was a bit strange, and the expression on the female cultivator's face was not sarcastic. She immediately turned to Yu Ci:
"Didn't fellow Taoist Jiuyan always want to pursue the whereabouts of Mrs. Huangquan? Actually, I have always been worried that my uncle, has died silently, but now, I am clearly still alive! This is not good news, what is it?"
After adjusting twice, Yu Ci's mood had already returned to normal. At the same time, he straightened his thinking and nodded: "It's indeed good news. We were also careless. Since this place is likely to be connected to the center of Donghua Palace, it is very likely to be under the surveillance of Mrs. Huang Quan. If that person thinks that Wang Renye is a threat, he doesn't have to do anything else and plant a demon seed from the air, he can turn Wang Renye into his current fate..."
Zhai Que'er then continued: "Not to mention that we are still adjusting our spiritual veins... Is that Dayu Sect still alive?"
Long Shang nodded: "There is no abnormal movement over there."
Zhai Que'er smiled slightly: "I really want to invite Master Liu here too. Since I remember, the methods of Master Huangquan who heard him were all silently listening to thunder and being very calm and serene. Often, it was only afterward that I suddenly realized that I had never had such an evil figure as today. It can be imagined that my uncle's life is not very easy now.
"From here, there must be some secret in Donghua Palace. It is very likely that Wang Renye wanted to exchange it with us. Although it was a pity that everyone failed, everyone's direction was right... No matter whether the person in the dark was Mrs. Huangquan or not, don't think about succeeding again. Let's proceed step by step.
As soon as Zhai Que'er came back, she kept adjusting everyone's morale, and the effect was pretty good. Long Shang's expression looked much better, but the black robe was still silent, and her whole body was overwhelmed.
Yu Ci looked at him and was a little suspicious whether this person was hiding something.
Zhai Que'er turned to him and said, "Since the direction is right, we should invest more energy here."
"This is..."
Yu Ci responded in a whisper, but Gui Yan next to him suddenly spoke: "I met something in a market in the southwest..."
In a few words, the suspect in the market was told that he had shot the headshot in public.
Now that Wang Renye died, this is just a verbal evidence of the icing on the cake, but Gui Yan said it, it has a deep meaning. It is convenient for Yu Ci to climb up the pole, gently skip the "headshot" matters, and ask about the related things related to Ye Chi.
"Middle Mountain Island? Are you sure?"
"I'm 100% sure."
The two of them sang double acts, and naturally no one in the world could do anything. Gui Yan fulfilled his duty: "The female cultivator wanted to meet with the adults through the little Taoist priest. This is the matter..."
Yu Ci pretended to behave and murmured: "I really have to be attentive."
Zhai Que'er was a listener next to her for a long time, and finally found the opportunity to speak: "Fellow Daoist is going to the meeting?"
"Well, I have an agreement with Banshan Island."
"It's the fragrance of the sea." As Duanmu Senqiu said, this matter was already airtight from all directions and heard from all directions, infinitely close to the topic of conversation after dinner. Zhai Queer knew it was not surprising.
“That’s right.”
"I have heard about Wu Goucheng. Fellow Daoist is indeed a believer, just like Banshan Island... it seems not so active."
Yu Ci touched her chin and said lightly: "Each family has its own difficulties, but it's not too late now."
Zhai Que'er raised her eyebrows and suddenly said, "Is it because of a mirage?"
Yu Ci wanted this effect. He laughed twice and changed the topic directly: "The time for homework is almost over. Let's not go out today. Complete your work sooner and finish it soon!"
"OK!"
When it was time to compromise, Zhai Quier's "understanding" made people feel comfortable, and it can be said that everything is following.
After completing his homework smoothly, it was dusk again. Yu Ci, with Jiuyan's identity, said goodbye to Zhai Que'er openly and headed to the market of the Chamber of Commerce. Since it was such a private invitation, Zhai Que'er could not keep up, just smiled and asked Yu Ci to be careful not to get into any trouble again.
When it was night, Yu Ci came outside the market. Before he could find the place, a waiter from the Chamber of Commerce had already come out and greeted him respectfully.
Taoist Huifeng really had the intention of being a responsible person. In addition to the temporary monastery, Yu Ci was welcomed into the house and served guests with fragrant tea.
Yu Ci took Jiuyan's identity and called him, and asked Wuyu and Zhang Miaolin's recent situation. After some gossip, he changed his tea and suddenly tried to test it:
"Fellow Daoist Huifeng seems to have been promoted to the commerce industry?"
Taoist Huifeng's attitude towards Jiuyan was naturally different from his disgust for ghosts. He smiled loudly and answered clearly and appropriately: "The master misunderstood. The man who is idle in Huifeng, idle in the clouds and wild cranes has no desires except for some of the things of the masters. These days, he has only responded to the entrusted people, and then went to find my freedom afterwards."
Of course Yu Ci likes to hear these words, and then Huifeng came back and sighed: "The master actually met the ghost An and walked with him. When I heard about this, I didn't believe it, but now I've said nothing."
This was already a little bit deep. Yu Ci glanced at him, wondering if Wu Yu had revealed something to him, but there was no need to respond on the surface. Taoist Huifeng didn't expect him to tell the reason, and then sighed:
"I remember that I had fought against him with the monks from the Sword Xuan a few years ago when he broke the robbery and lived forever. Seeing him today, I felt sweaty in my palm. I didn't think he could remember it at all."
"Ha, is that?"
Yu Ci was embarrassed. Gui Yan and Jiuyan exchanged identities too frequently, and they still became negligent. Fortunately, I remember that I didn’t really meet at that time, so I knocked him down from the clouds. If I really didn’t recognize him, it would be reasonable.
He still bypassed this topic. Since Taoist Huifeng didn't care about talking in a simple and profound way, he didn't need to be taboo, so he just pointed to the point:
"You gave me an invitation today..."
Huifeng bowed in the seat and said, "Don't dare." Yu Ci smiled: "Okay, I heard that it was you who represented Mrs. Hua, who intervened in the agreement with Banshan Island. I know that you have no malice, so I came. But there is a joint in this matter that I didn't understand. Since you represent Mrs. Hua, you have been by her side, and you know why she did this?"
Taoist Huifeng hurriedly shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "Master, I have never dealt with that person. The head of the hospital often meets her. Today's events are just a coincidence and have become a soundtrack."
Speaking of this, he paused and changed his mind: "But I have heard only a few words about this matter mentioned by the master..."
"oh?"
"It is said that Mrs. Hua has recently done several business with Banshan Island and has dated Ye Bin. If you look at it from this point of view, it is not without reason to interfere in this matter."
"Recently? How is it a close approach?"
"It's probably after the great disaster of heaven and earth."
"...that's really no taboo."
Yu Ci sighed. The reason for saying this was because during this period, through the planted divine intention starlight, he had a further understanding of the person who had been following Ye Chi in the market before.
Now you just need to confirm with the Huifeng Taoist: "Do you know, Ye Chi is in trouble now?"
"Uh, I know."
“Which side?”
Taoist Huifeng laughed: "Didn't the master ask questions clearly? It's naturally the Sihai Society."
Yu Ci also smiled: "I know that your Mrs. Hua is still interfering!"
In the past few months after the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, Sihai Society has changed its previous practice of keeping low profile. Its reputation has become more and more famous, attracting a large number of casual cultivators to join. Some small sects have even attached themselves to the past. In a short period of time, it has become a force that cannot be ignored in the East China Sea.
Now it is the time when Sihai Society is keeping a close eye on Banshan Island and intends to make efforts. It would be fine to do business with Banshan Island at this stage, but if you develop a private friendship with Ye Bin, it will also damage the neutrality of the Chamber of Commerce.
Well, let’s put aside this seemingly fair bullshit, it’s actually nothing more than a matter of choice of interests.
The Chamber of Commerce can do its best on both sides and be able to get along with each other. As a big business, it naturally has such capital, but Mrs. Hua’s tendency is too obvious. Even if the Sihai Society can ignore it, what about the Rakshasa Sect that is faintly visible behind it?
In this way, invisibly, it will definitely harm the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, and what is certain is that Mrs. Hua should be able to benefit from it.
The rest of the Chamber of Commerce and others allowed her to do so?
Yu Ci even thought a little deeper: if she is congenitally weak and seriously ill, she can clearly do things that violate the business principles, and her goal should be very obvious.
But can Ye Bin give it to life and health?
Taoist Huifeng didn't think so much, he just discussed things: "First of all, Sihai Society has done a bit too much. As far as I know, every disciple who goes out on Banshan Island has been watched and surrounded and killed. There have been dozens of conflicts and murders in the East China Sea. Now Ye Bin's whereabouts are secret, and there are also heavenly tribulations. If the disciples on Banshan Island have nothing to do, they rarely leave the island.
"Like this one... is Ye Bin's personal disciple, but he has been traveling in his early years and has always been low-key. If he hadn't been involved in this matter today, I wouldn't know her identity."
Yu Ci nodded, and asked almost the same question as he could learn from Taoist Huifeng. He said, "Now I am here as promised. Have you settled the time and place?"
“That’s natural.”
Taoist Huifeng took out a jade slip, stood up and handed it to Yu Ci, explaining: "This jade slip is sealed with a special method. As long as it is penetrated with spiritual consciousness, it can only exist for half a breath and it will turn into ashes. It is a perfect method to make sure that no one else can see it.
Yu Ci took it and commented: "It's mysterious and not like the work of Banshan Island."
Taoist Huifeng smiled bitterly: "Yes, this is what I mean."
Yu Ci laughed, and Taoist Huifeng said helplessly: "If I could confirm that the relationship between Master and Gui Yan was correct, I would like to invite the one here to come here and tell the matter. But after all, there is no foresight, so I can only go around in one circle. Don't blame Master."
"It's okay."
Yu Ci had already remembered the time and place of the meeting. She let the jade in her hand be reduced to ashes, and she no longer delayed and stood up straight: "If nothing else, I will go."
Taoist Huifeng stood up and said, "Master, walk slowly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a waiter hurried out to the hall to report. Taoist Huifeng did not immediately pay attention to it until he sent Yu Ci outside the house, waved goodbye, and watched Yu Ci go far away, then signaled the waiter to speak.
The waiter said "Northland urgent report, forwarded by the Chamber of Commerce", and handed over the jade slip for the message.
Taoist Huifeng broke through the ban on the top, and his spiritual sense swept, his face changed suddenly. When he read the information carefully, he suddenly remembered something. Looking up, Jiuyan's figure had long disappeared in the market.
He took a deep breath, but quickly made a decision: "The order was sent to the three shops north of Donghua Mountain to be suspended immediately, and the camps were set up to the "Ma" shops in the southeast. The other two shops remained unmoved for the time being, but the alert level must be raised to Class B."
"ah?"
Although the waiter was well-trained, he was stunned by the orders of Taoist Huifeng. The latter's orders were not finished yet: "Send the jade slips to copy and forward them. Each market must be delivered to the shopkeepers. If anyone asks, he will inform the matters in the jade slip... No, when the market is closed, the information will be directly disclosed."
The waiter hurriedly wrote down one by one, but Taoist Huifeng slowed down, but said to him: "You can also check the information inside, and you have a preparation. But there is one thing that must not be exaggerated or spread rumors nonsense."
As he said that, he handed over the jade slip again. The waiter finally couldn't help but feel curious. His spiritual sense penetrated, and his face turned white for a moment. The first sentence in the jade slip was:
The disaster in the north fell, the earth and the sky were connected, and the demons came, and the demon tide swept across the three lakes from north to south, crossed the Cang River and attacked the southern country.
"Why are you in a daze? Why don't you go quickly!"
The waiter then realized that he had forgotten even the salute and ran out.
Taoist Huifeng walked a few steps outside the monastery with his hands behind his back. His face changed with redness, but his emotions were hard to control himself.
Demon tribulation, Demon tribulation... Which one can forget the demon tribulation!
But why is there no sign of the devil disaster coming again?
And, why is it North again?
