Chapter 556: The Shrewd Zhang Jingqing

Zhang Zhiwei was thinking about the method similar to the Six Treasury Immortal Thief. Suddenly, he remembered something:

"Master, the ancestor sealed this traitor and built a Taoist temple not far from the seal to guard it. You said, if she breaks the seal, the brothers in that branch temple..."

Zhang Jingqing's face was as gloomy as water, and he asked Zhang Zhiwei:

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Zhang Zhiwei's mouth was full of rice, his cheeks bulging, he swallowed it in a gulp, his face was fierce, and he said: "Then I will definitely go on a killing spree."

Zhang Jingqing nodded solemnly: "If she really escapes, the branch temple responsible for guarding the seal will probably suffer a catastrophe."

Zhang Zhiwei's face also became solemn: "Master, which Taoist temple is responsible for guarding the seal?"

"Qingyun Temple in Wen County!"

After Zhang Jingqing finished speaking, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, came to the red copper judgment table in the hall, and began to read the letter on it.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about eating, put down his chopsticks and went to help: "Master, what are you looking for? Has there been any news from Qingyun Temple recently?"

Zhang Jingqing didn't say anything, flipped through it quickly, threw the document in his hand heavily on the table, and his face was not very good.

"Is there any bad news?" Zhang Zhiwei asked cautiously.

Zhang Jingqing shook his head: "No news, I discussed the Dao with Zuo Menchang before, and all the affairs of the mansion were handed over to Zhang Yi and Yi Qian to handle. I asked them to send me some news, but I found out that they only sent the part about you going down the mountain. The rest of the things were before my discussion."

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the documents on the red copper judge's table, thinking of the neat arrangement of these documents before the master looked through them just now, which means that even the documents before the discussion, the master has not read many of them.

You don't read them much, no wonder Master Yi Qian and Master Zhang Yi didn't send them... Zhang Zhiwei secretly complained in his heart.

However, this can't be said openly, the master is angry, and there is a risk of being sacrificed by a sword.

Zhang Jingqing waved his hand: "Go, call those two old bastards Zhang Yi and Yi Qian to me!"

Zhang Zhiwei hurriedly left the hall, and according to the principle of proximity, he rushed to the monk's room of Uncle Yi Qian.

Uncle Yi Qian had already gotten up and was meditating. When Zhang Zhiwei came, he frowned and got up and went out directly. His movements were neat and tidy, and he didn't even ask what Zhang Jingqing asked him to do.

Then, the two came to Uncle Zhang Yi's monk's room.

Uncle Zhang Yi was sleeping at this time. When he was awakened, he looked at Zhang Zhiwei and Yi Qian with a confused face, and said unhappily:

"Brother, I saw your ferocious face as soon as I opened my eyes. Do you know how much damage it has done to my good mood for the whole day?!"

Yi Qian was too lazy to reply, and turned his head to the side, but his already dark face became darker. If Zhang Jingqing hadn't been in a hurry, he would have beaten this old man up. He was so old and still had no manners.

Yi Qian didn't say anything, and Zhang Yi didn't continue to tease him. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhiwei:

"I say, you kid, after returning to the mountain, you didn't come to pay your respects for a long time and tell your uncle about your experiences down the mountain. What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Uncle, let me tell you about those things slowly and in detail. Now the master is looking for you for something urgent." Zhang Zhiwei said hurriedly.

"This old guy is a hands-off boss. He has just finished talking about Taoism for half a month. What urgent things can he have? Could it be that when you went down the mountain, you kid got into trouble that we don't know about?" Zhang Yi said.

"Uncle, if you have any prejudice against me, you can just say it!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

"How dare I, you are the acting Heavenly Master, I dare not offend you."

Zhang Yi cursed, but his hands kept moving. He put on the Turin Taoist robe, put on the Chongtian crown, and quickly dressed up and went out.

"Uncle Master, why don't you ask me what's the urgent matter?"

Both uncle masters didn't ask specifically, which made Zhang Zhiwei feel like he had to get something off his chest.

Zhang Yi waved his robe and said, "Let's not talk about it. You are a long-winded and endless storyteller. After hearing you finish, I will eat us up!"

Uncle Master Yi Qian nodded and said, "That makes sense!"

Zhang Zhiwei: "…………"

The three of them moved quickly. They didn't talk much along the way, and they came to the Great Immortal Hall in a hurry.

Zhang Jingqing sat in front of the octagonal red copper judgment table, reading some documents from half a month ago.

Yi Qian asked first: "Brother, why did you call us here so early in the morning?"

Zhang Yi adjusted the crown on his head that looked like a bull's nose, and perhaps to ease the atmosphere, he smiled:

"Look at his stinky face, it must be bad news. Could it be that he didn't win the argument with Zuo Ruotong and came to vent his anger on us!"

"Old man!" Zhang Jingqing's face turned black and he threw the documents in his hand on the table.

However, this attitude may be very intimidating to disciples like Zhang Zhiwei, but it is not very intimidating to Yi Qian and Zhang Yi who grew up with him.

Zhang Yi glanced at the messy documents in front of Zhang Jingqing and thought about it.

Yi Qian said: "No good news, I believe it, but I don't believe that Brother can't win the argument with Zuo Ruotong."

As he spoke, he remembered that the head of Wudang came to Longhu Mountain to challenge him and wanted to challenge Brother Zhang Jingqing.

He thought that there was going to be a world-shattering battle, but he never thought that there was no fight at all. With just a few words, the senior brother deceived the Wudang Sect Master so that he could not find Bei, and he went down Longhu Mountain with a confused look on his face. He had not seen him for many years. Come to your senses.

In terms of talking skills alone, how could Zuo Ruotong, a loyal and honest man, be as good as his senior brother?

"It's really not a good thing!" Zhang Jingqing stood up and asked, "While I was discussing Taoism with Zuo Menzhang, was there any news from Qingyun Temple?"

"Qingyun Temple..." Zhang Yi asked, "The one in Wen County?"

Zhang Jingqing nodded: "That's it."

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said: "The presence of Qingyun Temple is very low. There has been very little news about it in recent years!"

Yi Qian suddenly said: "I have some impressions. About ten days ago, Qingyun Guan Feihe sent a message saying that a war broke out in Wen County, the old warlord was defeated, and the new warlord occupied the county. , the new warlords took a fancy to the Yue family's old house where they guarded the seal, and wanted to seize it as their mansion. "

"The warlord had guns and cannons, and a few strange people under his command. The observers did not have a head-on conflict with them, but only warned them sternly that there were terrifying evil spirits suppressed in the well of the old house. Once they got out of trouble, there would be Something big happened."

"The warlord was frightened at first and did not force his way in. But the next day, the warlord leader found a wandering monk to exorcise the evil spirits. After that, the warlord moved in and used the old house as his headquarters."

"Afterwards, the observers discussed with the warlord, entered the old house, and checked using some means. Indeed, no trace of the evil spirit was found. It was estimated that the evil spirit had been suppressed for more than a hundred years and had been wiped out, so A letter was sent to us to report the matter.”

"When I received the news, senior brother, you were discussing with Mr. Zuomen, so I didn't bother you."

After listening to what Yi Qian said, Zhang Yi was a little confused:

"What kind of evil spirits need us to suppress? How can we suppress them for a hundred years?"

Time is like a tide that can take away everything. This matter has been going on for a hundred years. Even in the Tianshi Mansion, it is considered a secret and few people know about it.

Zhang Jingqing is a heavenly master, he knows it, and Yi Qian is the host of Zhengyi Guan, he also knows it.

And Zhang Yi, although he is the third master of the Tianshi Mansion, he is not in charge of external affairs, so he is completely unaware of it, and now he is confused.

At this time, Zhang Jingqing was obviously not in the mood to explain to Zhang Yi. After listening to what Yi Qian said, he asked:

"Lao Yi, what do you think of this matter?"

Yi Qian pondered for a moment and said: "Brother, even you and I learned about this matter from the files. I do not deny the authenticity of it, but more than a hundred years have passed since this matter. Even if we are responsible for guarding the The local Qingyun Temple has been spreading for several generations. After such a long time, the so-called evil spirits and the so-called traitors have long since returned to dust. "

Zhang Jingqing nodded: "In fact, I can understand your thoughts, and I can also imagine that as the host of Zhengyi Guan, you all have this idea, and the people in Qingyun Guan are probably the same, and they all regard this matter as one thing. It’s legendary.”

"But in fact, the real situation is far more complicated than you think. In my opinion, with the opponent's ability, it will be difficult for him to die in a hundred years!"

As a heavenly master, Zhang Jingqing knows many things that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Hearing what Zhang Jingqing said, Yi Qian frowned: "Brother, what happened?"

"This time Zhiwei came down the mountain and encountered an attack. I suspect that the thing guarding Qingyun Watch escaped."

Zhang Jingqing told the story of Zhang Zhiwei's attack.

While Zhang Jingqing was telling the story, Zhang Yi came to Zhang Zhiwei and learned the whole story from his mouth. Zhang Yi couldn't help but look solemn.

After listening, Yi Qian said in a deep voice, "How confident are you, senior brother, that the thing inside the seal has escaped?"

"It's just conjecture, there is no evidence," Zhang Jingqing said, "But the time you mentioned that the news came back from Qingyun Temple is very similar to the time when Zhiwei was attacked. This is too much of a coincidence."

Yi Qian nodded and whispered: "It's a coincidence, but if she did it, wouldn't she be asking for trouble by writing to us? What is her motive?"

"I'm thinking!" Zhang Jingqing said.

"Master!" Zhang Zhiwei volunteered, "How about I go to Qingyun Temple and see what's going on?"

"I'm willing to go with Wei!" Zhang Yi said with a rare serious look.

Zhang Jingqing shook her head and said: "If the all-sex demon who attacked Zhiwei before is really the traitor who broke free from the seal and failed in one blow, she must be wary of Zhiwei. If Zhiwei suddenly goes to Wen County at this time, it will only alert the snake. , it’s counterproductive, after all, we still don’t know what the situation is in Qingyun Temple.”

"I can go quietly without anyone noticing!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

"Don't underestimate the methods of those old monsters. You are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. Moreover, your methods have always been direct and hidden. If you are not good at it, you may be discovered before you reach it."

Zhang Jingqing did not deny his apprentice's fighting power, but only his hidden ability.

Zhang Yi looked at the conversation between Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Jingqing and suddenly said:

"I do have an idea."

"Hurry up!" Zhang Jingqing said.

Zhang Yi said: "If the traitor who attacked Zhiwei is really the traitor, then the letter from Qingyun Temple will have some explanation. She attacked Zhiwei once before, but failed, and now she throws out such a lead. I'm afraid she just wants to Please go to the urn, if Zhiweizhen goes to investigate so recklessly, I'm afraid it will play into the opponent's hands. "

Zhang Jingqing nodded: "What you said makes sense!"

Yi Qian continued: "But we can't rule out that it's just a coincidence. Someone else attacked Zhiwei. That traitor has long since passed away."

"So we have to send someone to investigate," Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei: "But we can't send Zhiwei."

"In that case, let me go!" Yi Qian said.

Zhang Jingqing shook her head: "You are the host of Zhengyi Guan, you can't go down easily, and Zhang Yi can't do it either. Your status is too high and too obvious. If you are really the traitor, I'm afraid there will be abnormal actions when I learn of your arrival. Now Qingyun Guan We don’t know the situation yet, so we have to be cautious.”

Zhang Yi said: "The people in Qingyun Temple should be fine, their urns are still there."

Zhang Yi is the transmitter of the Tianshi Mansion and is in charge of the ceremony of imparting the talisman. After the disciple is imparted the talisman, half of the talisman is on his body and half of the talisman is in the dharma lineage. When the disciple dies, the talisman in the dharma lineage is displayed. Recently, Zhang Yi did not receive news of the mass death of his disciples.

Zhang Jingqing said: "Since everyone in Qingyun Temple is still alive, we must be even more cautious. If we move too much and make the other party jump over the wall, it will not be good."

"Master, what do you mean..." Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zhang Jingqing said: "No matter what we say here, it is just speculation. The specific situation will not be known until we go to the scene."

Zhang Jingqing patted Yi Qian on the shoulder: "Go and reply to Qingyun Temple, saying that since the sealed evil spirit has been wiped out, then our main altar will send a Taoist priest to check the situation on site and see how it is? If the evil spirit has been wiped out, Then everything will stop. If the evil spirits are still there, they must be eradicated!"

"Senior brother, what you mean by doing this is..." Yi Qian was thoughtful.

"I just figured out one thing. No one wants to be a stinky rat in the gutter!"

Zhang Jingqing continued: "I like to think about the worst case scenario. Let's assume that the traitor broke through the seal, but the people in Qingyun Temple are fine. This means that she did not kill them to vent her anger."

"Why don't you kill? As a demon who kills without any thought, compassion is not established. Even if he is banned for a hundred years, it is impossible to change his past."

"The only possibility is that she doesn't want to attract our attention, doesn't want to be our enemy, and doesn't want to be hunted down again."

"But in this state of mind, she attacked Zhiwei again. This shows that she is also very conflicted. Hatred is affecting her, and her attitude may change at any time."

Zhang Jingqing paused: "Perhaps, the reason why Qingyun Temple sent a letter to Zhiwei the day after the attack, telling us that the seal was broken, is because she was a test, a test of our attitude."

"Once we get tough on her, or show the slightest sign of discovering her, she may go completely crazy, reveal her whereabouts, and directly kill the disciples of Qingyun Temple to announce her arrival to us."

"So, at this time, we can't provoke her, or even pretend that we haven't noticed her and don't care about the matter, so that she can have the illusion that the past has passed, so as to relax her vigilance, and then... "

Zhang Jingqing stretched out her hand and swiped in front of her neck: "Give her another fatal blow."

After listening to this, Zhang Zhiwei gave a thumbs up: "Master has great wisdom!"

Zhang Yi sighed: "I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are always good at playing dirty tricks. You are so cunning!"

The atmosphere of Longhu Mountain was brought down by you... Yi Qian curled his lips, disdainful of such flattery, and said in a deep voice:

"If Zhiwei can't take action, then senior brother, which disciple are you going to send over to check?"
