Chapter 243 Tai Heng 8 Scenes
Chapter 243 Tai Heng Eight Scenes
The letter was found under an old locust tree soaked in blood. It was hidden very secretly. If Chu Qing and his team hadn't checked it very carefully, it would have been difficult to find.
Shan Lan held the letter and looked at Chu Qing, somewhat hesitant.
Finally he whispered:
"Third Master...your letter."
Chu Qing silently took out the Tiancan silk gloves, took the letter and opened it as Shan Lan's expression changed drastically.
Shan Lan quickly searched her body, and after a while, she took out a pill, but hesitated whether to take it or not... She felt that her experience in the martial arts world was still shallow, and she actually took this kind of letter from the devil with empty hands.
Look at the Third Young Master, he is still wary of whether it is poisonous.
But if it is non-toxic, would it be a waste of a pill?
While she was struggling, Chu Qing had already finished reading the letter, his brows slightly furrowed.
Wu Qianhuan stood beside Chu Qing and finished reading the letter. When he looked at Shan Lan and others, a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Shan Lan finally swallowed the pill.
I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.
If there is, life will be gone... If not, it's just like losing a pill.
Chu Qing had already handed the letter over. Shan Lan was about to reach out to take it, but quickly retracted her hand, moved closer to Chu Qing, and took a curious look.
Then she blinked and looked again.
The letter reads:
[What we are aiming for is Tai Heng. The monarch is outside, and the concubine is inside. With the cooperation of the inside and the outside, we should be able to achieve success! ]
She read it three times. The letter was very short, but Shan Lan was afraid that she might have read it wrong.
Finally, she looked at Chu Qing and said decisively:
"Frame someone, this devil wants to frame someone!"
Chu Qing looked at Shan Lan strangely:
"So sure?"
From her attitude, people who didn't know her would think she had a deep friendship with Chu Qing.
It can be asserted that this letter is a frame-up.
"Of course!"
Shan Lan said in a deep voice:
“I believe that with the relationship between the Third Young Master and my Tai Heng Sect, if there is anything you want, just tell me directly.
"I am from Tai Heng Sect, there is absolutely no reason not to give it to me."
"..."
Chu Qing's eyes widened, and even Wu Qianhuan was a little confused.
Clearly, Chu Qing and Tai Heng Clan were innocent, but how come they became so unclear in Shan Lan's mouth?
Chu Qing couldn't help but ask:
"What is the relationship between me and Tai Hengmen?"
Shan Lan said in a deep voice:
"May I ask, Third Young Master, have you ever met my uncle Ling Beichen?"
"Of course I have seen it..."
Not only have I seen it, I've also killed it.
"Then I would like to ask you again, Third Young Master, before my uncle died, did he teach you the sword intent of the [Seven Absolutes, Seven Turns, Seven Injuries Sword]?"
“…I have taught you.”
Chu Qing couldn't deny this, he had indeed taught it.
Chu Qing therefore made his [Sixteen-Way Shocking Evil Sword] even more mysterious.
"That's it!"
Shan Lan smiled and said:
“There is a close relationship between the Third Young Master and my Tai Heng Sect.
"What's more, you personally helped my uncle to be freed. This great favor should be remembered by everyone in Tai Heng Sect.
"And logically speaking, since you have acquired the sword intent of the [Seven Absolutes, Seven Turns, Seven Injuries Sword], I should call you Senior Brother...
“It’s just that your identity is extraordinary, and there is no master-disciple relationship between you and Master Ling.
“So the elders in the sect have studied it for a long time and haven’t decided how to rank you, but there is one theory that is more widely accepted.
"It means that before your uncle died, he accepted you as a disciple on behalf of the master... and made you a disciple of the same generation as your uncle, and also of the same generation as our uncles and aunts.
“Then you can be listed as an elder in my Tai Heng Sect.
“Of course, we only studied this matter behind closed doors.
"It all depends on your opinion..."
Chu Qing's head was buzzing after hearing this. He was still wondering how these people would react if he went to Tai Heng Gate. After all this time, this is the attitude?
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment... The Tai Hengmen members were so embarrassed that the abacus beads were about to fall on their faces.
It’s just one of the five doors. Is it really okay to handle it this way?
As if seeing the suspicion on Chu Qing's face, Shan Lan said with a smile:
"Don't feel weird, Third Young Master...
"The Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing, it also involves the ways of the world.
“If the Third Young Master’s martial arts were mediocre and his reputation was just ordinary, our Tai Heng Sect’s attitude towards you would naturally be different from what it is now.
“But now, first there is the battle of Tianji Valley, and then there is the battle of Guishen Gorge.
“Even the Fiery Flame Hall has been brought under your command… Young Master, not only is your reputation soaring to the sky, unrivalled in the world, but your martial arts are also unrivalled and extremely brilliant.
“Even if our Tai Heng Sect is no longer able to weigh the pros and cons, we will never become an enemy of someone like you.
“It is said that when you are in the arena, the more friends you have, the more paths you can take.
"It would be great to have more mortal enemies, especially one like the Third Young Master, then..."
The rest of the sentence was not finished, but the meaning was very clear.
Chu Qing was somewhat surprised that Shan Lan really dared to say that... But if one had to say that the people of Tai Heng Sect were like their swords, who liked to be straightforward, that might not be the case.
Her words only raised a very basic question.
Chu Qing killed Ling Beichen. Will Tai Hengmen choose to be an enemy or a friend?
Tai Hengmen chose the latter here, and what's more, they not only want to be friends, but also want to become one of their own.
Chu Qing felt that things like becoming one of their own could be put aside for the time being.
He looked at the letter in his hand and said softly:
"From what she said in the letter, she has already gone to Taihengmen?
"The monarch is outside, and the concubine is inside... She may have changed her appearance and become a disciple of Taiheng Sect...
“Although this letter may just be a cover.
“Many people in the martial arts world know that I will come to Tai Heng Gate to return Senior Ling Beichen’s ashes.
"She left a letter like this at this time, perhaps just to cause a dispute between me and Tai Heng Sect."
Shan Lan suddenly realized:
"So, the Third Young Master and this devil know each other?"
"This person is the Blood Prince."
Chu Qing said softly:
"One of the Twelve Holy Kings of the Tianxie Cult..."
Shan Lan and a group of Tai Heng Sect disciples all gasped when they heard this.
They went down the mountain to eliminate the demon, but they did not know the demon's background.
After all this time, it turned out that this person was the Blood Prince who was defeated by Chu Qing not long ago!
But, isn't it said that this person is dead?
Chu Qing then recounted the whole story.
Shan Lan suddenly realized:
"So that's how it is. The Third Young Master is indeed resourceful and resourceful. I admire him." "Now that this person is no longer in this locust tree forest, I wonder what the Third Young Master is going to do next?"
“Without further delay, I plan to set off for Tai Heng Gate immediately… Lord Blood may have been bluffing, but we cannot let our guard down.
“If this person is really in Tai Heng Sect, we can wait for the right time and build up our strength to strike.
"If something really happens, it will be a disaster."
"it is good."
Shan Lan and others nodded and suggested that they could go with Chu Qing.
Chu Qing did not refuse, but he had to go back to the inn and bring other people with him.
Afterwards, everyone walked out of the locust tree forest and headed straight for the inn.
When we arrived at the inn, we found that the place looked like it had been ravaged by a tornado.
Tables, chairs and benches were all over the ground, and there were several corpses on the ground, mainly from the group of bandits in Xishan. Some of them were kneeling on the ground and trembling, while others were gritting their teeth, as if they had endured great humiliation.
Opposite them, Wu Chan sat on a chair, staring at the teacup silently.
Hua Jinnian opened his folding fan and looked around with disdainful eyes.
Wenrou stood quietly at the window, and when she saw Chu Qing coming back with a large group of people, she immediately came over to greet them.
"did not find?"
Wenrou glanced at Chu Qing and asked softly.
Chu Qing nodded and looked around the lobby of the inn:
"What's going on here?"
Before Wenrou could speak, Hua Jinnian sneered and said:
"These ignorant people actually dared to set their sights on Miss Wen. They are simply courting death!"
After hearing the details, Chu Qing realized that after he and Wu Qianhuan left, the group continued to eat and drink.
Gradually, he was freed from the fear of encountering ghosts in the locust tree forest... After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, he gradually felt full and warm and developed sexual desire.
In the end, he actually set his eyes on Wenrou and wanted to abduct her by force.
But how can gentleness be easy to come by?
Once the Taiyi Divine Fist and Taiyi Divine Leg were released, these so-called thieves were no match for the Taiyi Sect's top disciple, the Bu Nu Divine Fist.
In the end, Hua Jinnian wanted to win by outnumbering others, so he took action at the right time.
The two men defeated the bandits in Xishan, leaving the other martial artists in the inn dumbfounded.
Originally, he watched Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan leave, but the friend who stayed behind ran into trouble. He was thinking of stepping forward to lend a hand. If he could have some relationship with Chu Qing, he would be able to carry himself with dignity in the future.
In the end, they were not used at all.
Finally, the leader of the Xishan bandits set his sights on the seemingly honest 'Chen Wu', and wanted to use the emperor to control the princes.
Unexpectedly, this honest man beat the boss half to death with one move. He lay on the ground and vomited a cup of blood...
Now that the battle has just ended, Hua Jinnian is considering how to deal with them.
After Chu Qing heard this, he said nothing more. He flicked his sleeves and faintly saw a palm wind falling on them.
But after the news spread, several people looked at each other, wondering what Chu Qing had done.
There were no injuries on his body, as if it was just a breeze blowing...
Then I heard Chu Qing say:
"You can go."
The thieves looked at each other, all hesitant.
Then someone asked:
"If you have any conspiracy, just tell me directly, don't play tricks on us."
"I'll let you go, but you still don't want to? Well, if that's the case, I'll kill you all."
"No, no, no! Let's go now!"
Several people stood up, supported each other, and walked out the door.
Chu Qing stopped them again and told them that there was another one in the inn and asked them not to forget to bring it with them.
They had no choice but to send more people in to bring out the person who was watching the body.
Chu Qing rolled up his sleeves, and without any apparent movement, the wind blew by, but it only ruffled the clothes of the last thief.
It was not until this group of people walked out of the inn that Hua Jinnian looked at Chu Qing with a strange expression:
"When did you become so soft-hearted?"
Wuchan sighed:
"Why kill them all?"
"Ok?"
Hua Jinnian was stunned:
"When was he completely wiped out?"
Chu Qing ignored them and just said:
"Let's go. Things have changed. I suspect that Lord Blood has already arrived at Tai Heng Gate. Pack up your things and travel overnight to Tai Heng Gate as soon as possible."
After hearing what Chu Qing said, everyone stopped worrying about the previous incident with the bandits in Xishan.
They all went upstairs to pack their things, and when they came down, the shopkeeper returned the unused room money.
Obviously, he was unwilling to leave any handle for these evil spirits to take advantage of.
Everyone left the inn and mounted their horses.
Hua Jinnian then noticed that Chu Qing and the others did not come back on their own. After some questions and answers, he found out that this group of people were actually disciples of Tai Heng Sect, whom he and Chu Qingwu Qianhuan had met in the locust tree forest before.
There was no speech at the moment. When riding a horse at night, it is inevitable that one step is deep and another is shallow, so one has to be extremely careful.
On the way, we even saw a group of bandits from Xishan trudging through the night. They were also heading towards Taiheng Gate, but now they looked a little embarrassed.
Chu Qing and his companions did not linger over this group of people for long, and just rode past them.
Chu Qing had no mercy on these thieves who were attracted by beauty and robbed innocent girls.
The palm strike he made seemed not to stir up even a speck of dust... but in fact it was the [Bone-Dissolving Palm].
Now he has completely integrated the [Bone-Dissolving Palm] into the palm wind of the [Green Void Palm], which is exactly like 'sneaking into the night with the wind, killing people silently'.
They didn't know yet that they only had one or two hours left to live.
Along the way, Chu Qing and a few others rode horses, while the disciples of Tai Heng Sect ran on the ground.
But it didn't stop them from chatting casually.
First they talked about martial arts gossip, then about the ups and downs of Tai Heng, and occasionally mentioned how high-spirited Ling Beichen was back then, which made Shan Lan and others couldn't help but sigh.
As they talked, they finally came to the Eight Scenic Spots of Taiheng.
These are the eight wonderful sights on Mount Taiheng.
Chu Qing just listened to the gossip at first, until Shan Lan said:
"Speaking of the eight scenic spots of Taiheng, although the other seven are indescribably wonderful, they are far less wonderful than 'Blue Luan Stone Shadow'."
As soon as these words came out, not only Chu Qing, but also Wen Rou and Wu Chan looked at Shan Lan.
Chu Qing still remembered that after killing Shen Juke, they went to look for Liu Sanniang in seclusion and found a letter left for them by the Blood Prince who had transformed himself into Feng Xiaoyu.
It is said that it contains clues to one of the nine treasures of heaven and earth.
But this clue is very confusing, with only one sentence: [The wind is on Qingluan Mountain, and the moon is in the shadow of divine sound].
But Chu Qing thought for a long time, but still didn't know where the word "Qingluan" came from...
But I didn't expect that among the eight scenic spots on Mount Taiheng, there happened to be one called "Blue Luan Stone Shadow".
Combined with the letter that the Blood Prince left for him...
[What we are after is indeed Tai Heng. The ruler is outside, and the concubine is inside. With the cooperation of the inside and the outside, we should be able to achieve success! ]
Chu Qing's mouth twitched, feeling that this was probably not a coincidence.
