Chapter 747 Nantu, Stealing Treasures?
After eating the food, Chihou seemed to be closer to Luo Chen and Qingshuang.
It jumped onto Luochen's shoulder and let out a happy cry.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both amused by Chi Hou's behavior.
They decide to take in this mysterious creature temporarily to see if it can become their companion.
In the days that followed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took Chi Hou to practice together and explore the mysteries of the world of immortality.
Although the red monkey cannot directly help them fight, it is smart and can always provide help at critical moments.
With the passage of time, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's strength continued to improve, and they gradually revealed the secret of the Red Monkey.
It turns out that the red monkey is a rare spiritual beast with special abilities and can sense danger and opportunity.
Luochen and Qingshuang were full of gratitude to Chihou. They knew that with Chihou's help, they would go further on the road to immortality.
However, changes in the world of immortality are always unpredictable.
Just when they thought they could practice in peace, a new crisis was quietly approaching.
...
The next day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were practicing when they suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from a distance.
They immediately became alert, and Red Monkey became extremely nervous.
"This is..." Luo Chen frowned. He felt that this breath contained powerful power.
"Let's go take a look." Qingshuang suggested.
Luo Chen nodded, and they took the red monkey and flew towards the direction where the breath came from.
When they arrived at their destination, they were shocked by what they saw.
I saw a group of immortal cultivators besieging a young man dressed in luxurious clothes.
"What's going on?" Qingshuang asked in surprise.
Luo Chen shook his head, he didn't know what happened.
However, if you don’t know, you don’t know.
I went over for a while and took a look, but there wasn't much of a problem.
"Walk!"
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly approached and saw that although the young man was dressed gorgeously, he looked a little embarrassed at the moment. There were many scars on his body, and he had obviously been fighting for a long time.
The surrounding immortal cultivators had fierce expressions on their faces, as if they were extremely hostile to this young man.
"Stop!" Luo Chen yelled, and the spiritual power in his voice made everyone's eardrums hurt.
The immortal cultivators were startled and turned to look at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, with alert looks in their eyes.
A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and asked coldly: "Who are you? Why are you meddling in our affairs?"
Luo Chen replied calmly: "We were just passing by and saw you besieging one person. Due to moral reasons, we cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
The middle-aged man sneered: "Moral justice? This kid stole our sect's treasure, so of course we have to bring him to justice."
Hearing this, the young man hurriedly defended himself: "I didn't steal it! I got that treasure by chance. I was about to return it, but you were chasing me for no reason!"
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other with some doubts in their hearts. Luo Chen said: "In that case, why not explain the matter clearly. If he really stole the treasure, he would have to deal with it according to the sect's rules. Why should he be lynched here?"
The middle-aged man's face darkened: "You don't know how cunning this kid is. If he returns to the sect, he will definitely make up lies. We won't be able to explain him at that time."
Luo Chen frowned slightly, and was about to say something more, when Qing Shuang gently pulled his sleeve, signaling him not to act rashly.
She took a step forward and said softly: "In that case, let us be a witness. If he really stole the treasure, we will never cover it up, but if he is innocent, you should not continue to pursue him. "
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.
Finally, he nodded: "Okay, as you said, but if he dares to escape, we will never let him go."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that at least for the time being, they could avoid a meaningless battle.
They turned to the young man and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man glanced at them gratefully and replied, "My name is Nantu."
Luochen nodded: "Nantu, don't worry, we will try our best to help you clarify the facts."
Nantu nodded gratefully, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
In the following days, Luochen, Qingshuang and Nantu investigated the matter together.
They discovered that Nantu had indeed obtained a treasure by chance, but that treasure did not belong to the sect that was chasing them, but to an ancient ruins.
This ruins had long been forgotten, and Nan Tu accidentally broke into it and obtained the treasure.
Luochen and Qingshuang decided to help Nantu return the treasure to the correct sect and explain to them the ins and outs of the matter.
They believe that as long as the truth is revealed, Nantu will naturally be treated fairly.
However, things are not as simple as they imagined.
With the help of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, Nan Tu finally found the sect to which the treasure belonged, Zixiao Sect.
Zixiao Sect, an ancient and mysterious sect of immortality, occupies a pivotal position in the world of immortality with its profound foundation and powerful strength.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang brought Nan Tu to the mountain gate of Zixiao Sect. They saw the mountain gate towering, shrouded in clouds and mist, and a solemn aura blowing towards them.
"Is this the Zixiao Sect?" Nan Tu looked at the scene in front of him, feeling both nervous and expectant.
Luo Chen nodded and said, "That's right, let's go in."
The three of them stepped into the gate of Zixiao Sect together. Upon seeing this, the disciple guarding the gate immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"Who is here? What is your purpose?" a disciple asked seriously.
Luo Chen took a step forward and said politely: "We are here to return a treasure and explain some misunderstandings."
When the gatekeeper disciple heard this, his expression softened slightly and he said: "Please wait a moment, I will report it right away."
Not long after, an old man in purple robes came out. His eyes were sharp and he obviously had extraordinary cultivation.
"I am the elder of Zixiao Sect. I need to understand in detail what you are talking about." The old man said.
Luochen told the elders exactly what happened, including how Nantu accidentally obtained the treasure and how they investigated the truth.
After hearing this, the elder pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will investigate this matter personally. If it is true as you said, Nantu will not be treated unfairly."
Nantu said gratefully: "Thank you, Elder Mingjian."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that as long as the elders of Zixiao Sect came forward, the matter should be resolved properly.
However, just as they were about to leave, a Zixiao Sect disciple hurried over, looking panicked.
"Elder, it's bad! The sect's treasure house was broken into, and the treasure disappeared!" The disciple said breathlessly.
When the elder heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the sect, followed closely by Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Nan Tu.
When they arrived at the treasure house, they saw that the door of the treasure house had been destroyed and the inside was in a mess. It was obvious that someone had broken in by force.
"What's going on?" the elder asked angrily.
A disciple responsible for guarding the treasure house knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Elder, we...we didn't know. Someone broke in suddenly, and we had no time to react."
Luo Chen frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
"It seems that someone deliberately framed Nantu and wanted to pin the blame on him." Qingshuang said in a low voice.
Luochen nodded. He looked at Nantu and found that Nantu also had a look of confusion and anger on his face.
"We must find the real culprit and clear Nantu's name." Luo Chen said firmly.
The elder also realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to investigate the matter personally.
After some careful investigation, they found some clues pointing to a certain force within the Zixiao Sect.
"It seems that someone wants to use this matter to provoke conflicts within the sect." Luo Chen analyzed.
The elder nodded, and he decided to hold a sect meeting to make the matter public and find the real culprit.
At the sect meeting, the elder announced the incident and the investigation results, causing an uproar.
"It's really heartbreaking that someone in our Zixiao Sect would do such a thing!" an elder said angrily.
"We must find the real culprit and safeguard the dignity of the sect!" Another elder also agreed.
After a heated discussion, an inner disciple of Zixiao Sect was finally exposed and he admitted his crime.
It turned out that this disciple was jealous of the treasure that Nan Tu got by chance and wanted to take it for himself, so he designed to frame Nan Tu.
"I...I just wanted that treasure, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..." the disciple said regretfully.
Nan Tu looked at everything in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Nantu, you have been wronged." The elder said to Nantu, "We will give you justice."
Nantu said gratefully: "Thank you, elder, thank you all."
In the end, Nantu got the compensation he deserved, while the inner disciple was severely punished.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at all this and felt relieved.
"It seems that the path to becoming an immortal requires not only strength, but also wisdom and courage." Luo Chen said with emotion.
Qingshuang nodded and said, "Yes, we learned a lot from this incident."
Nan Tu looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gratefully and said, "If it weren't for you, I might not be able to clear my grievances."
Luo Chen smiled and said, "It's just something that happened casually."
Luochen and Qingshuang showed relieved smiles on their faces. They knew that Nantu's grievances were finally redressed, and they also gained valuable experience and friendship from this incident.
After the sect meeting, Nantu was invited to the elder's residence, and the elder personally prepared a cup of tea for him to express his apology and gratitude.
"Nantu, this incident has made you suffer." The elder said earnestly, "The courage and persistence you have shown are worth learning from all of us."
Nantu lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully: "The elder is over-praising me. All this is due to the two seniors Luo Chen and Qing Shuang. I just did what I should do."
Luochen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nantu, you don't have to be humble. Your integrity and bravery are seen by all of us."
Qingshuang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Nantu, what are your future plans? Are you willing to stay in Zixiao Sect?"
Nantu thought for a moment and then said: "I do have this idea, but I want to go home first and tell my family the good news."
The elder nodded to express his understanding: "This is as it should be. You go back first. When you come back, we will talk about your future in detail."
Nantu bowed gratefully to everyone present, then turned and left the elder's residence.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also decided to temporarily leave Zixiao Sect. They wanted to continue their journey of cultivating immortals, and they also hoped that Nantu could find his own path.
A few days later, Nantu returned home, and his family was excited to see him return safely.
Nantu told his family about his experience in Zixiao Sect, and they felt very proud after hearing it.
"Nantu, you did a good job." His father patted his shoulder and said, "We are proud of you."
Nantu's mother wiped her tears and said excitedly: "Child, you have suffered, you must be careful in the future."
Nantu smiled and comforted his family: "I'm fine, everything is over, now I am going to return to Zixiao Sect and start my new life."
With the support of his family, Nantu set out on the road to Zixiao Sect again.
This time, his heart was full of hope and expectation.
After returning to Zixiao Sect, Nantu expressed his determination to join the sect to the elders.
The elder looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Nantu, you have proved your worth. Zixiao Sect welcomes you to join."
Nantu knelt down excitedly and bowed to the elder: "Thank you, elder. I will not let you down."
In this way, Nantu became a disciple of Zixiao Sect and began his own path of cultivating immortals.
......
Naturally, Luo Chen and Qingshuang were not aware of the subsequent situation of Zixiao Sect.
After all, they left together when Nantu left.
They also returned to the Dafeng Market they had been to before.
The reason for going back.
Naturally, it was because they found some interesting things in Dafeng Market before.
"Cultivator's Gambling House".
Luo Chen looked at the five big words in front of him, and he immediately became a little interested.
He was naturally familiar with the gambling houses of ordinary people.
But he had not heard much about this gambling house of immortal cultivators.
"Cultivator's Gambling House, it sounds quite fresh." Luo Chen said.
Qingshuang shook her head gently, "I've heard of the immortal cultivators' gambling house. There are all kinds of people in it, and the gambling games are even more bizarre, and some even involve life."
Luo Chen smiled, "Isn't that just right? Aren't we immortal cultivators here for excitement and challenges?"
Qingshuang frowned, "Luo Chen, don't forget that we are here to find opportunities, not for temporary excitement."
Luo Chen nodded, "I know, I just said to go in and take a look, I may not participate in the gambling game."
Qingshuang saw that Luo Chen insisted, and didn't say anything more. The two walked into the gambling house together.
The gambling house was brightly lit and bustling.
All kinds of immortal cultivators gathered here, some staring at the cards in their hands nervously at the gambling table, some whispered to the side, and some tasted wine alone in the corner, seemingly uninterested in everything around them.
