Chapter 709: True and False

PS: Thanks to the book friend for taking the name of the 60,000 starting point currency reward, congratulations on becoming the master of this book

There are countless news about the true and false things in the Jianghu every day, but for most people, they would rather believe what they have than believe what they don't have.

For example, some news has spread in the Jianghu recently. Chu Xiu, who is from the lineage of hidden demons, and Qiqi, a saint of the Moon Worship Sect, went to Longhu Mountain to snatch a fortune-telling master named Yuan Ji. Zhang Chengzhen, the little celestial master, intervened to stop him because of a treasure calculated by the other party, a treasure hidden in Dong's house.

Some people say that this treasure is the peerless sword technique in ancient legends, one of the seven limits of swallowing the sky and destroying the earth, which is why Chu Xiu, who uses the sword, is attracted.

Others said that this treasure was born from heaven and earth in ancient legends, so it was coveted by the saintesses of the Moon Worship Sect.

Some people even said that what the Dong family owned was actually the secret code left by Lu Chunyang, the patriarch of the Taoist sect in the past. As for why Lu Chunyang's secret code was not in the Chunyang Taoist sect but in the Dong family, no one knew.

Anyway, the news is getting more and more evil, and there is everything to say, and this matter is not made up, but there are countless witnesses.

Many people saw that battle at the beginning. Chu Xiu fought against Zhang Quanzong and Zhang Chengzhen of the Tianshi Mansion. deflated.

During the investigation by interested people, this Yuan Ji's identity is also very clear. Although the other party claims to be Beiyan's number one fortune teller, but in Beiyan's place, the power of the Taoist sect is pitiful, and even a Taoist temple that can be sold nothing.

The power of Taoism in the world, six points are in Eastern Qi, three and a half points are in Western Chu, and the remaining half is in Beiyan. Therefore, although Yuan Ji claims to be the number one fortune teller in Beiyan, he can actually be compared with him in the world. Yes, although there are not many, there are still some who can be called by name.

Chu Xiu, Zhang Chengzhen, and the Holy Maiden of the Moon Worship Sect fought for such a guy. Apart from what was mentioned in the news, no one else really could think of any other reason.

Although there are many doubts in this news, for example, since the Tianshi Mansion knows that Master Yuan Ji has calculated the news that the Dong family has a heavy treasure, why didn't he be controlled and brought to the Tianshi Mansion, and let him continue to wander under the Dragon and Tiger Mountain? ?

For example, since the Moon Worship Sect also knows the news, why does it have to let the Moon Worship Sect Saintess come? Randomly sending out one of the nine gods and witches to do things is faster than her.

And Chu Xiu, he is in Beiyan, and the rivers and lakes in Xichu have not heard the news. How did he know the news and come here in advance?

What's even more bizarre is the news itself. Everyone knows that if you want to be a fortune teller, you'd better keep your mouth shut.

As a result, Yuan Jibu figured out the news that Dong's family had Chongbao, and he foolishly leaked it out. Could it be that, as the rumors say, he accidentally slipped the truth in the bed, and then was caught by his concubine's cousin? The second aunt's little aunt leaked it?

Although this news was unreliable to the extreme, it was still the same sentence. I would rather believe it than believe it. Therefore, in just over ten days, the attention the Dong family received has skyrocketed.

At this time, in a small town near Dong's house, Chu Xiu was taking Master Yuan Ji to eat in the box.

Tianxiameng's move was really quick, it was just spreading a news, Xie Xiaolou didn't even tell Chen Qingdi, just found a few deacons of Tianxiameng, this matter was done immediately, without leaving any tails.

This is the role of local snakes. Even if Chu Xiu wanted to create such a momentum in Beiyan now, he had to join forces with the court, but Tianxiameng did it easily.

Yuan Ji on the side picked pickily the food and wine on the table, feeling a little disgusted.

The cooks in small places are not very good, and the craftsmanship is too trendy.

At the same time, he still has some resentment towards Chuxiu, design is design, why pull him?

At any rate, he, Yuan Ji, was considered a figure in the arena, but now his reputation is completely rotten. Who dares to come to him for divination with a sloppy fortune teller?

Of course, although there was resentment, he didn't dare to express it to Chu Xiu. Instead, he gave Chu Xiu a glass of wine and said, "My lord, the Dong family is probably in a daze at this time, when are you going to do it? "

Chu Xiu shook his head, and said lightly: "It's not too hot yet, the Dong family is one of the nine great families anyway, how could it be so easy to let people kill and seize treasures?

Holding a piece of gold in the hands of a child will attract other people's coveting and scrambling, but holding it in the hands of a strong man will only make people drool with envy and jealousy.

Of course the Dong family is not a child, but a strong man, even a strong man with a knife. "

Yuan Ji thought for a while and said, "Are you going to unload the Dong family's sword first?"

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "No, let the gold in his hand turn into the seven treasures of colored glaze first, and then attract a group of strong men with knives and greedy hungry wolves!"

………………

Inside the Dong family, Dong Qikun, the ancestors of the Dong family, more than a dozen elders of the Dong family, and powerful fighters all stared with big eyes and small eyes, with a bewildered expression.

The news in Jianghu has spread so much in the past few days. When it reached the Dong family, everyone in the Dong family was stunned.

Since when did we have a heavy treasure in our family? There are also seven great limits, the sky-eating insects, they haven't even seen a caterpillar, okay?

However, the rumors outside were so true that the members of the Dong family were a little suspicious.

A deacon of the Dong family couldn't help asking: "Old Ancestor, does my Dong family really have the seven extremes of the ancient Xeon sword technique?"

The face of the ancestor of the Dong family suddenly turned black, and he threw a teacup over, angrily said: "Are you a pig's head? You believe what others say? If my Dong family really had this level of saber technique, I would have taken it a long time ago. Come out to practice for everyone, you should have surpassed the Shangshuiying family and become the head of the nine great families, and you still use it here to mess around?"

The deacon of the Dong family shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak much.

In fact, this kind of thing is hard to say, don't think that there is no selfishness in the family, in case someone gets the exercise and hides it to practice, whether it is for fame and fortune, or for power, these are common things, and it is not surprising Everyone in the Dong family is suspicious.

The ancestor of the Dong family looked around for a week, and said in a deep voice: "Put away those petty thoughts for me! I'll say it again, those rumors outside are purely false!"

As he said that, the ancestor of the Dong family glanced at Dong Qikun and said, "Qi Kun, let someone release the news, saying that the rumors are all nonsense, and you can't believe it at all."

Dong Qikun nodded and immediately arranged for someone to do it.

After everyone else left, Dong Qikun frowned and said, "Old Ancestor, what's going on? Who is plotting against my Dong family? What's the benefit of the other party doing this?"

These gossips are not harmful to the current Dong family, but it's just troublesome to be spied on all day long.

So the person who spread the rumors was purely here to disgust the Dong family?

The ancestor of the Dong family shook his head and said: "I don't know, there are not a few people who have enmity with my Dong family in the West Chu rivers and lakes. Who knows who made it?"

At this time, Dong Qikun suddenly asked: "Could it be Chu Xiu? He is also a participant in this matter. Besides, he insisted on trading Sheshenyu a few days ago, but was rejected by us. Could it be that he has a grudge and messed up?" Come out like this?"

The patriarch of the Dong family thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not like that, if it's Chu Xiu, then the saintesses of the Moon Worship Sect are equally suspect, and even more suspicious of the Moon Worship Sect than Chu Xiu.

After all, my Dong family is now on the side of the orthodox sect and is against the Moon Worship Sect.

Moreover, although Chu Xiu is a junior, it has to be said that the other party can become the heir of the hidden demon lineage, and even the only hero in the younger generation who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the little celestial master, he still has some tolerance.

He has done things that harm others and benefit himself, but this matter is purely harmful to others. His mind should not be so small, right? "

Dong Qikun also nodded. What the ancestor said made sense, but if it wasn't for Chu Xiu, who else would it be? In short, this matter is a bit confusing, it is better for the Dong family to be careful for the time being.

In the next few days, the Dong family spread their reputation to the Jianghu, saying that this incident was purely false, but obviously many people in the Jianghu did not believe it.

If you say no, then no, who will believe it? Many people even think that the Dong family has no silver three hundred taels here.

At this time, Chu Xiu was hiding around the Dong family, observing all this silently, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to add fire to the Dong family.

The Dong family is close to Shiwan Dashan, and there is no big state capital nearby. There is only a small town named Jicheng, which is relatively prosperous, and there are many people from the rivers and lakes who come and go here to trade some elixir obtained from Shiwan Dashan. , or some rare and other things.

Compared with some elixir shops, it is actually more cost-effective to buy some rare elixirs here and refine them by yourself than to go to the elixir shops to buy those finished elixirs.

Of course, not everyone is very familiar with such things as elixir, and there are quite a few profiteers who use fake products to fool people.

At this time, a young man in Chinese clothes, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was looking at the street vendors selling herbal medicines and elixir in the market, but he was not sure what to do.

He was dressed in a luxurious attire, and he seemed to be from a noble family. He was obviously not in the same style as these rough-dressed casual warriors, but in fact, apart from his identity and clothes, he was no better than these casual warriors.

He is a disciple of the Dong family in Gaoling, his name is Dong Yuncheng, and he is also the direct line of the Dong family, to be precise, the former direct line.

The direct line of the Dong family is not fixed, and everything is calculated according to strength. If your lineage is strong, you are the direct lineage. On the contrary, if your lineage has no strong people, you are the collateral lineage.

Dong Yuncheng's lineage used to be the head of the family, but there have been no masters since then. His father's strength is not bad, and he even competed with the current head of the family, Dong Qikun, for the position of the head of the family, but it was a pity that he died halfway due to an accident. He is the only one left in the first line, so although it is called the direct line, it is not as good as the collateral line.
