Chapter 354 Today's Internal Refining
Chapter 354 Today's Internal Refining (Monthly Ticket Plus)
"It's all gone!"
After Zhongli Luan dispersed his true energy, Nie Xianshan glanced around, shouted, and everyone bowed and dispersed.
“Nie…”
The two old servants struggled to stand up, but before they could finish a word, Nie Xianshan knocked them to the ground with a single finger:
“They’re all tied up!”
Zhongli Luan and Yan Chunyang did not resist, so naturally no one tied them up. The other guards and servants were all tied up tightly and taken away.
Han Tong moved quickly, picking up Ding Xiu, whose life or death was unknown, and glanced at Yan Chunyang, whose face was as gloomy as water:
"Lord Yan, please follow me."
With a cold look at Nie Xianshan, Yan Chunyang suppressed his anger, tightly grasped the beads, and followed Han Tong.
Nie Xianshan ranked fifth on the list of heroes. He was a master of the Tiangang limit. Not to mention him, even Zhongli Luan might not be able to take a few sword strikes. He was angry in his heart, but he didn't want to taste the power of the Chunyang Sword.
Both of them cooperated very well. Han Tong took Yan Chunyang to Hushan, Dou Yue asked Zhongli Luan to go to Longfeng, and Xin Wenhua left with a group of guards and servants.
"Uncle Master!"
At this time, Chu Tianzhu had just hurried over. Seeing this scene, he could only sigh woodenly and bowed to greet him:
"Chu Tianzhu, a disciple of Samadhi Cave, pays respect to Sect Master Nie."
Nie Xianshan's face was as gloomy as water, and he seemed to be in an even worse mood than Yan Chunyang. He glanced at Chu Tianzhu:
"Tie them together."
"??"
Chu Tianzhu was stunned. Just when he was about to retort, he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if being blocked by a sharp sword. His face was full of bitterness, but he dared not move.
Li Yuan looked around and found that he was the only one left on the field, so he could only bow:
"Brother Chu, please."
"Master Nie!"
Even slower than Chu Tianzhu were the masters of Zhenwu Hall who were waiting outside the archway. They also realized something was wrong and rushed over.
"Tied!"
“They’re all tied up!”
Nie Xianshan's style of doing things was as quick and decisive as his swordsmanship. With a wave of his hand, the patrolling disciples in the distance rushed forward and tied up all the Zhenwu Hall masters who stepped into the mountain gate.
Li Yuan, who hadn't left yet, was stunned.
"Any more?"
Nie Xianshan looked outside the mountain gate, and the crowd who were watching the excitement all changed color and scattered like birds and beasts.
"Take the people to the main peak, and then go to the Dragon Tiger Tower!"
Nie Xianshan glanced at Li Yuan and walked away without waiting for his reaction.
"Yes."
After the person left, Li Yuan still responded with a salute. After that, he did not take action, but just glanced at Chu Tianzhu, who smiled bitterly:
"Since Sect Master Nie has spoken, this Junior Brother can do whatever he wants. I will not bear a grudge against you. However, if possible, I hope you can take me and Senior Uncle Zhong together."
So reasonable?
Since everyone was so polite, Li Yuan's attitude was naturally very good as well. It was more like leading the way than escorting him, and he led him to the main peak of Longmen.
On the way, he took the initiative to inquire about the cause and effect of the incident. He was surprised to learn that Zhongli Luan only helped a madman because he found him on the roadside.
"Uncle Zhong is a chivalrous man, and I admire him."
Li Yuan has always respected those who are better than him in some aspects.
"..."
Chu Tianzhu glanced at him, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was praising him or making a sarcastic remark.
He really didn't feel that there was anything admirable about this matter, which first offended the Zhenwu Hall and then the Longhu Temple, without any benefit at all and also caused his own imprisonment.
"Li, Junior Brother's surname is Li?"
Chu Tianzhu reacted, looked him up and down, and was quite moved: "Could it be that Junior Brother is the disciple of the Dragon Sect Master, the second on the Dragon List, the weapon forging genius, the Dragon and Tiger Rookie, Li Yuan, Junior Brother Li?"
Good guy...
Even Master Li Dao, who was so thick-skinned, had a slightly rosy complexion:
"Brother Chu actually knew about this little bit of fame? I am ashamed..."
"Junior Brother Li is too modest."
Chu Tianzhu was full of praise, and Li Yuan, knowing what he meant, still took him to find Dou Yue. After getting permission, he placed him and Zhongli Luan in a small courtyard.
Longhu Temple has its own place for holding prisoners, but these two are obviously not there. This small courtyard is located behind the main peak, only three or five miles away from Li Yuan's residence, and the environment is also very good.
"Brother, what will happen to these two people?"
Outside the courtyard, Li Yuan was asking.
"It's up to the Taoist master to decide how to deal with him. But if no one is killed and Ding Xiuzhen is shielding him, and Yan Chunyang is really a beast in human form, he should be asked to come out and apologize and thank him."
Dou Yue's voice was loud enough for the two people in the courtyard to hear. Only Li Yuan could hear the second half of the sentence:
"Otherwise, it's hard to say."
“It’s hard to say.”
Li Yuan nodded.
There were two people in the courtyard, one was the elder of Samadhi Cave, the leader of martial arts performances of the previous generation, a grandmaster and a great expert, and the other was the second most powerful contemporary disciple of Samadhi Cave.
This is not something that can be handled easily. If things go wrong, there might be a fight among the Taoist sects.
"Given Zhongli Luan's temperament, the former is more likely. If it's the former..."
The two looked at each other and both felt that this matter was very troublesome.
These two people have special identities, and Yan Chunyang is even more special. He is Marquis Jingxiao of Dayun, the only disciple of King Zhenwu, and a person who is favored by the emperor.
Killing someone in private would be a major event that would shake the world, let alone dealing with him openly and aboveboard?
But the matter has probably already spread. If it is not dealt with, how can Longhu Temple keep its reputation?
"It's troublesome."
The two of them were very sharp-minded and thought of the troubles in this matter. Dou Yue glanced at the gate and his eyes suddenly became unfriendly:
"This Zhong guy has bad intentions!"...
"Uncle Master, I have been terribly hurt by you!"
Inside the courtyard, Chu Tianzhu looked unhappy: "I was thinking of participating in the alchemy conference on June 6th. If I miss this one, I may not be able to get the 'Marrow Refining Blood Producing Pill' in the next alchemy conference!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Zhongli Luan did not enter the house, but sat on the ground under a tree in the yard. He seemed very calm:
"When we get out, let alone one bottle of 'Marrow Refining Blood Producing Pill', there may be ten bottles!"
"Ok?"
Chu Tianzhu was startled for a moment, then reacted: "You mean, when we get out, we should ask the Dragon and Tiger Temple for elixirs?"
"I have uncovered such a great evil for Longhu Temple, but I am being held here. How can I let Longhu Temple not pay some price?"
Zhongli Luan snorted, and a smile appeared on his rough face.
"So, you surrendered?"
Chu Tianzhu was somewhat moved. He found that he might have underestimated his uncle.
"That's not the case. Master Nie's spiritual form, the 'Pure Yang Sword', is too powerful. If we really fight, within ten moves, he can take away half of my life. It's not worth fighting him."
Zhongli Luan reached into his arms, took out a piece of meat pie and began to chew it slowly. In order to catch the thief, he hadn't slept for at least three days and hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day.
"...What about you?"
"That Ding Xiu is too stubborn. I almost beat him to death, but he didn't say a word. Although I suspect Yan Chunyang, how can I do anything to him without evidence?"
Zhongli gave him half of the cake:
"Who would dare to kill Wan Zhuliu's disciples without any evidence? I thought, it would be better to expose it directly. In front of everyone, Longhu Temple will have to take on this hot potato whether they like it or not."
Zhongli Luan stuffed half of the pancake into his mouth and closed his eyes slightly:
"Well, this is Hengshan City's business. Longhu Temple has been supported by the people for two thousand years. Shouldn't they contribute their efforts?"
"This……"
Chu Tianzhu was a little frightened. He took a few steps back and suddenly felt that this uncle who had followed him all the way was a little strange.
But he thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong:
"But, if we tell them privately and then let Longhu Temple come forward, then neither Zhenwu Hall nor Longhu Temple will be offended. Isn't that better?"
"What about Liu San?"
Zhongli Luan opened his eyes and glanced at him: "What if Longhu Temple is under the spell of Wan Zhuliu and is unwilling to deal with Yan Chunyang? Isn't that a waste of effort?"
"This……"
Chu Tianzhu repeated it twice before he remembered that Liu San was the madman on the road, and sighed helplessly:
"It's okay with the imperial court. We don't have a very good relationship with them anyway. But we have some connections with the Dragon and Tiger Temple. Now, we have offended them as well."
"offend?"
Zhongli Luan seemed to have sensed something and bowed slightly towards the air:
"Will Uncle Long blame me?"
……
"Bad boy!"
On the sixteenth floor of the Dragon-Tiger Pagoda, Long Yingchan sat cross-legged, with all kinds of true energy interweaving in front of him and transforming into a curtain of light. During this time, Zhongli Luan bowed slightly with a respectful attitude.
"What a hot potato!"
Helian Feng blew his beard and glared: "If this bastard surnamed Zhong said it in private, would we still be partial to him?!"
"There are advantages to handling it privately, and there are also advantages to exposing it openly."
Long Yingchan frowned, not only was he not annoyed, but he was also quite approving:
"This kid Zhong has been through a lot of training. Fang Sanyun has someone to take over. He should be the next Samadhi Cave Master."
"How to deal with it?"
Helian Feng felt a headache.
"Deal with him? Why not? Even if Wan Zhuliu is protecting his faults, can he still come to us and ask for an explanation for a maggot who raped and murdered a woman?"
Long Yingchan loosened his fingers, and his long eyebrows slashed through the light curtain in front of him. Finally, Yan Chunyang, whose face was as gloomy as water, flashed by:
"Find some evidence and send a copy to his master. Then, chop off his head and hang it on the city wall as a warning to others!"
"But Wan Zhuliu..."
Helian Feng frowned, he didn't think this was a good idea.
"If Wan Zhuliu wants to come, he will come whether you kill him or not. On the contrary, if he doesn't want to come, you can kill him and he won't come."
Long Yingchan frowned again and twitched:
"Old Nie is in a bad mood. Please entertain him for me. I have to go see that Li kid... I was shocked by the pill recipe before and almost forgot about it."
As the words floated away, he disappeared from the spot.
Helian Feng was slightly startled, then he heard low and quick footsteps, and Nie Xianshan came in a hurry.
……
hum~
Inside the Dragon and Tiger Pagoda, Li Yuan felt the mist in front of his eyes dissipate, and the next moment, he had arrived at the creek where he met Long Yingchan last time.
"Master."
Seeing that it was not Nie Xianshan, Li Yuan was slightly startled, but he didn't care and bowed in greeting.
"Now that your true Qi is full, you should be able to practice internal cultivation."
Long Yingchan looked at Li Yuan with a gloomy look in his eyes:
"It's almost time, let's do it today."
