Chapter 1342: Long-Line Bait Round People Say, Yujing Drifting Cold Winter Has Arrived
Heting?
When Director Zhou saw the two words that faded away quickly on the table, his thoughts surged like a tide:
"Heting Mountain, one of the three mountains?"
"Xu Xiaoshou has really arrived in the Central Region?"
"Yes, Heting was the headquarters of Fenqin before..."
"Xu Xiaoshou's first master was Shengnu Wuxiu, who was also Fenqin Zhuhe among the five elders of Shaqing..."
"He took over his gang and went to Heting Mountain. What was he looking for?"
Xu Xiaoshou watched Director Zhou's expression change, and the message bar kept popping up "suspected". He grabbed the fan and smiled slightly.
There was no need to do anything more, just write down the two words "Heting". With Director Zhou's "intelligence", he could easily associate many, many things.
This is a case of being too clever.
If it was to deal with Mu Zixi and others, Xu Xiaoshou would never dare to use this trick.
Heting Mountain, originally just a place where the sad story in Aunt Xiang's mouth took place, has now become an important part of Xu Xiaoshou's plan.
Putting aside the person himself, let's think from the perspective of the Holy Spirit Temple:
Where is the most likely place for Xu Xiaoshou to go when he comes to the Central Region?
Heting Mountain!
What is he going to do in Heting Mountain?
His master Wuxiu, that is, Fenqin Zhuhe, must have left something there-such a big Fenqin, even if it has been destroyed for more than 16 years, there must be some signs of dying, and its traces can only be detected by people in the Jinzhao lineage.
Is it possible that Xu Xiaoshou did not go to Heting Mountain, or even that he did not know who Fenqin Zhuhe was and where Heting Mountain was?
The answer is possible!
From the perspective of the Holy Spirit Temple, how could a smart person like Shengnu Wuxiu not think that letting his apprentice go to Heting Mountain would incur certain risks?
So it is possible that he never told Xu Xiaoshou some secrets.
But from Dao Qiongcang's personal perspective, it doesn't matter whether Shengnu Wuxiu said it or not, Heting Mountain must be defended!
"I can catch nothing, and it doesn't matter if I have been on guard for more than 16 years and have achieved nothing."
"But I can't let Xu Xiaoshou go to Heting Mountain one day, get something there, or restart the Fenqin, and then leave calmly."
This is the only answer Xu Xiaoshou can get after he replaces the Taoist master.
He believes that no matter whether he knows Heting Mountain or not, as the old site of Fenqin, the Taoist master there will never give up surveillance.
Since there will definitely be a Xu Xiaoshou in Heting...
After Xu Xiaoshou from the Void Island, he will definitely appear in the Central Region as the core of the Holy Slave to cause trouble...
Xu Xiaoshou himself is very happy to link these two things together and let them happen "at the same time".
At least in this way, all the forces of the Holy Spirit Hall will not be concentrated in the Four Symbols Secret Realm.
This is still an open conspiracy, and Dao Qiongcang has to accept it no matter what he thinks.
"Although it's better than nothing..." After all, the Holy Spirit Hall is not short of people, and Xu Xiaoshou still knows this.
The room was quiet for a while.
Director Zhou's thoughts were not peaceful. He looked at the water marks on the tea table that had completely disappeared, and soon fell into a dilemma.
He wanted to further confirm with the guard Jinren what the process of seeing Shou Ye in Heting Mountain was like.
This was not purely a lack of trust in intelligence.
It was more about how the guard Jinren could see through Shou Ye's disguise and escape alive, as the legendary holy slave Shou Ye came and went without a trace, killing people invisibly.
But Director Zhou was more afraid of asking things that he shouldn't ask...
He has been in this position for many years.
He has been a killer for more than 30 years. After being freed from the shackles, he retired and was able to get the position of director of Sanzhuxiang.
Director Zhou cherishes life very much.
He knows how to cherish his life even more.
Otherwise, he would not be in Sanzhuxiang at the moment, but he would clearly favor Xu Gusheng, and even take the initiative to become the matchmaker between Xu Gusheng and Sanzhuxiang.
This is equivalent to training one more gold medal hunting order killer... No!
Xu Gusheng, and his bodyguards, are much more powerful than the gold medal hunting killers!
It is for this reason that Director Zhou knows that sometimes knowing too much may seem helpful at the moment, but it will not be of any benefit in the future.
He is very smart and knows that he should not ask at this time, so he stares at the tea table and hesitates to speak.
He is very cunning and knows that Xu Gusheng is a smart man and should know what he is thinking.
Xu Gusheng will naturally say what he can say.
If he can't say it, he will change the topic later and let this matter go, and everyone will be at peace.
"Don't pretend!"
As expected, Xu Gusheng started to sneer again, "The interests between you and me have been divided. Hiding it will not benefit either of us!"
His sarcastic tone sounded so kind at this moment - he was willing to say it, which meant that he regarded himself as his own.
But Director Zhou still said "ah" in surprise, and then raised his eyes in confusion.
He knew that big shots could say that, but if a low-ranking person like him took it seriously, he would be sold out and have to pay the money.
"Mr. Xu, what are you talking about?"
"Why are you pretending!"
Xu Xiaoshou curled his lips and easily saw that Director Zhou was pretending to be ignorant.
But he was more willing to pretend to be ignorant and then talk about everything in the most superficial way:
"Don't you just want to know the specific process?"
"How can you work for me in the future if you are as timid as a mouse?"
Without waiting for Director Zhou to speak, Xu Xiaoshou waved his folding fan and entered the role of the sick young master, saying with regret:
"My guard Jinren followed the breath of the ancient sword cultivator and found Heting Mountain and ran into Xu Xiaoshou."
"If I hadn't restrained them at that time, I think these two people would have fought."
Jinren took the initiative to find him... Director Zhou's heart trembled, thinking of Jinren's sword finger killing downstairs just now, and thinking of the information he saw before going downstairs to stop the dispute:
Xu Gusheng, suspected to be an unnamed disciple of the Eastern Domain Sword Burial Tomb, the descendant of Taixu.
His guard Jinren is an ancient sword cultivator, who can break the ghost face of the Ghost God Gang of the Seven Stars with his ten-segment sword finger.
"Mr. Xu, how strong are our brothers Jinren?" Director Zhou asked with a smile.
"This high." Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes and pointed at the ceiling with his paper fan.
"So high, how high is it?"
"Under the Sword Saint, the first Sword Immortal!"
Director Zhou was about to take a sip of tea, but he almost spit out a mouthful of tea when he heard the voice.
So, what you said is really the ceiling of the sword?
What a joke.
"Mr. Xu, please don't make such a joke..."
"This young master has never made any jokes, even if it sounds like a joke to you. If this young master didn't want to show off, I think the name of the new Seven Sword Immortals would have a place for me, the Guardian. "
Director Zhou rolled his eyes secretly.
He knew that the Seven Sword Immortals of this session were ranked, and Saint Slave Shouye was the last of the Seven Sword Immortals.
According to Xu Gusheng, if his Guardian was able to make the list, wouldn't Saint Slave Shouye be squeezed out?
What a big face!
Xu Xiaoshou didn't intend to explain how powerful Jinren was - powerful is not explained, but compared.
Let the bullets fly for a while...
"Even though Director Zhou is in Sanzhuxiang, he should know Liu Fuyu, right?" He fanned himself and leaned back on his chair, his posture more lazy.
Director Zhou was immediately alert, but he didn't understand what this meant, so he could only nod: "Of course I know, the Seven Swordsman Liu Fuyu just came to the city not long ago"
"Then do you know where she is?"
"She is..." Director Zhou's voice was firm, and Tong Kong suddenly enlarged, "Yougui Pavilion."
"Where did I spend the night before I came to Sanzhuxiang? Director Zhou investigated it clearly when he came downstairs to see me just now?"
"You, Yougui Pavilion..."
"Who is Liu Fuyu going to see?"
"...Jin, Jinren?"
"What is he looking for?"
"..."
Director Zhou was shocked.
He thought it was just a coincidence, and never thought there was such a reason. He immediately asked: "May I ask, Master Xu, what does she want to do with Brother Jinren?"
Xu Xiaoshou did not answer directly, but smiled at the slightly fat and long-bearded Fatty Zhou, and closed the paper fan and knocked on his head.
"Director Zhou, do you understand ancient sword cultivation?"
"Not very well..."
"Why do you think Jinren would find Xu Xiaoshou, who is also an ancient sword cultivator, and how can Liu Fuyu lock on Jinren, who you can't even see?"
Director Zhou felt itchy in his head, there must be some connection between them.
Looking at Xu Gusheng's expression, he clearly gave a clue when he spoke before.
Damn the riddle man...
Director Zhou thought for a long time, and finally remembered a special word that Xu Gusheng used when he was protecting Jinren and found Xu Xiaoshou in Heting Mountain:
"Search?"
Director Zhou opened his eyes wide as if he had solved a historical puzzle, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Mr. Xu just said 'searching for the breath of the ancient sword cultivator'..."
"Among the ancient sword cultivators, can they lock the location by 'searching' for a certain breath?"
"Is this why Jinren found Xu Xiaoshou, and why Liu Fuyu found Jinren's brothers?"
Xu Xiaoshou covered his face with a paper fan, smiling, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
He knew that at this moment, the bullet hit Director Zhou's head.
All the hidden clues he had just given were found by Director Zhou, a smart man, and all were connected.
The answers given by others were far less certain than those he thought of.
In Director Zhou's mind, Xu Xiaoshou knew that his story out of nothing was taking root.
In fact, if Director Zhou recalls carefully, he will find that Mr. Xu didn't tell many main stories, but only some fragmented information.
But these fragments can be pieced together intermittently, and finally put together in people's minds "Xu Xiaoshou in Heting Mountain".
Director Zhou even has a general outline of this story, and if he wants, he can simply retell the ins and outs of this story.
This is a true self-justification!
And after self-justification, in addition to believing it, there is only belief.
"I'm sorry, brother Jinren, Zhou just underestimated you, I will punish myself with three cups."
Director Zhou's eyes kept wandering, and I don't know what he thought of, and he bent down to the invisible void.
Finally, he stood up, filled himself with three cups of wine, and drank them all.
Are you kidding!
Even Liu Fuyu wants to find Jinren to learn ancient swordsmanship.
How strong is Xu Gusheng's guard? You can think about it with your toes.
Put down what he showed downstairs, it was definitely not his true, full strength!
After drinking three cups, Director Zhou looked at the sick young man on the bench and said seriously:
"Mr. Xu, I really didn't know that my brothers were so powerful. Even the Seven Swordsman Liu Fuyu wanted to test his prowess. I was rude just now. I will punish myself again..."
"Between you and me, there's no need." Xu Xiaoshou verbally stopped the guy from apologizing, and waved his paper fan gently, "I do have another question."
"Gu, gu, gu..."
Director Zhou didn't dare to expose the matter so easily. After punishing himself with three cups, he looked at him solemnly: "Mr. Xu, what do you want?"
The sick young man looked at the fat man with a slightly red cheek, as if he was vain and his expression changed. He was very satisfied, but said calmly:
"I just want to know if the Holy Spirit Temple is just for show. They don't even know that Xu Xiaoshou has come to the Central Region."
"Or maybe the Taoist Temple Master has already known about it and has already started to make plans..."
After a pause, Xu Xiaoshou naturally revealed the real intention of this trip:
"I don't want us to run into our own people when we take action, and then be used by Xu Xiaoshou, resulting in a lose-lose situation."
"Xu Xiaoshou is the best at this, do you know that?"
How could Director Zhou not know that the Holy Slave Master is very powerful and is best at playing with people's hearts?
He stood solemnly and said in a heavy voice:
"Mr. Xu, please wait a moment. If the information is... well, since Xu Xiaoshou has arrived in the Central Region, the Taoist Palace Master must have known it!"
"I will ask the superiors about the arrangements for this matter. We can't run into each other. Don't worry about this."
"As for Mr. Xu's safety..." Director Zhou patted his chest and promised seriously, "With Zhou here, it will be guaranteed!"
I rely on you, my great wisdom... Xu Xiaoshou nodded lightly, holding his posture, looking into the void, and pointed the paper fan at the door.
"Go!"
Director Zhou bowed and left, opening and closing the door.
Obviously, his power could not be fully known to his partner Xu Gusheng.
He didn't know that when the door opened and closed, not only he left, but also everyone.
In the room, Xu Xiaoshou, who had dismissed his second real body, sat alone on the bench. He stretched a little and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone returned to Yougui Pavilion.
Now he is really alone.
But in the eyes of Sanzhuxiang and Director Zhou, Xu Gusheng will always be protected by a guard who is at least a candidate for the Seven Swordsmen, and this will never change.
Even later, the more noise he made, the more trouble he caused.
When the people in the entire Central Region dared not touch Xu Gusheng easily, even if this sick young man looked really weak.
Once the second real body is gone, it can be completely liberated.
This is the real power of the disappearance technique - it can be used not only in battle.
This is also the key to the ability to split into two by using "presence" and "absence" after mastering the space Dao disk.
The second real body does not have the awakening skill of "second real body", which is the most fundamental difference between him and the original body.
But now, Xu Xiaoshou used his ability to help the second real body create a second real body - a person who does not exist.
This style, Xu Xiaoshou is willing to call it the "third real body".
It's just...
"Director Zhou is so sure, why?"
"Why will Dao Qiong Cang know I'm here as soon as I arrive in the Central Region? Is he really that awesome?"
Xu Xiaoshou sat on a wooden bench and pondered. There was no one around for a long time.
He remembered Director Zhou's previous actions, smiled, and also cast a fishing rod in the room.
Don't think about it. The long line is now down. What kind of fish will come up?
I'm looking forward to it.
...
It was noon, and Yujing was cold.
Beside the road outside the grocery store, in front of the Xianggui carriage.
Old man Li leaned on the horse beast, holding a sauce-flavored meat pie in his hand, eating it with oil all over his mouth, and tightening his thin clothes from time to time.
"What kind of weather is this? It's cold when it's cold..."
People come and go, and it has nothing to do with him.
After swallowing the last bite of the sauce-flavored meat pie in his hand, Old man Li wiped the oil off his hands, laughed, took out the cloud-patterned black bag from his arms, and opened it.
Counting money is, of course, the happiest time in life.
After counting the spiritual crystals one by one, Old Man Li naturally read the information on the note made of spiritual essence in the small space of the cloud pattern black bag:
"Xu Xiaoshou is in Heting Mountain."
Xu Xiaoshou is clearly in Sanzhuxiang!
Xu Xiaoshou must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to go to Heting Mountain!
But Xu Xiaoshou said so, which means that if there is a Xu Xiaoshou in Heting Mountain, the overall situation can be achieved.
"Shou Ye is here, chaos is coming..."
After a silent sigh, he put the spiritual crystal back into the bag, and the small note turned into spiritual energy and was swallowed by the cloud pattern black bag.
All traces returned to nothingness.
Old Man Li leaned on the Xianggui carriage, raised his head and opened his eyes to the sun, holding the cloud pattern black bag tightly with both hands, as if holding happiness, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but grin.
"Shou Ye, is this the first task for Fugui after joining the First Floor of Tianshang?"
...
Yougui Pavilion, a private room on the third floor.
In the warm bed and warm tent, Aunt Xiang was sleeping on her side in a gauze nightgown, her figure was outlined to be slender and charming.
For some reason, the spirit array in the elegant room had a small crack, and a wisp of green smoke slowly entered from the outside, but it did not cause any reaction from the spirit array.
Until finally, the green smoke turned into a tall man, sitting beside the tea table, silently.
He just watched like this.
After half a quarter of an hour, Aunt Xiang still didn't notice!
The man couldn't sit still anymore, so he rushed over, tore open the green gauze curtain, and glared at the beauty on the bed.
"The sun is shining on your butt, why are you still sleeping?"
"Get up and make trouble!"
