Qiu Yizhi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, fearing that Yuchi Jiming would cause trouble and cause trouble, and his words just now would be in vain.
At this moment, Wu Ruofei leaned close to Yuchi Jiming's ear and said something to her. After Yuchi Jiming heard this, although there was still dissatisfaction on his face, he finally stopped talking.
So Qiu Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the young man: "This is my niece. She has not studied female beauty since she was a child. She specializes in martial arts. I just offended this brother. I apologize first." Qiu Yizhi also If he really could do it, he immediately bowed to the man.
The young man was not an unreasonable person. He pretended to be magnanimous and said, "It's okay, just those who don't know. It's just that this young lady's attack was too heavy, and my neck still hurts."
"I'm offended, I'm offended. But I don't know what to call this brother?" Qiu Yi said.
"This is Fei Lian. I wonder what I call this young master?" the young man said.
(Fei Lian - cockroach...)
Qiu Yizhi pretended to be frightened and said: "It turns out to be Brother Fei. I'm Xu Jia, a businessman nearby. Because he admires Tianzun's holy religion, he originally wanted to come here to seek refuge, but he didn't expect Master Miaozhen to do something bad, so he didn't have an idea." Somehow, Qiu Yizhi suddenly remembered the pseudonym he had used when pacifying the Tianzun Sect's rebellion.
Fei Lian saw that although Qiu Yizhi was not gorgeously dressed, he was very neat and clean, while several people behind him who were much more well-dressed looked up to him, so he guessed that he was a kid from a rich family who was usually a little more diligent and thrifty.
So Fei Lian thought for a moment and said, "That means Brother Xu has no fate with our Holy Religion."
"No, there is still fate!" Qiu Yi said, "Didn't I meet Brother Fei here?"
Fei Lian was immediately persuaded by the sharp-tongued Qiu Yizhi: "This... what Brother Xu said makes some sense."
Qiu Yizhi smiled slightly, took out a piece of gold from his arms and put it into Fei Lian's hand, and said with a smile: "Looking at Brother Fei's majestic weapon, he must be a very important figure in the Tianzun Sect. I would rather worship Miao Miao. As a true master, it’s better to join Brother Fei directly. I hope Brother Fei can fulfill my admiration for the holy religion.”
Fei Lian weighed the ingot of gold in his hand. It weighed one or two taels, which was equivalent to ten taels of silver. It was enough to cover the expenses of a middle-class family for a year. He was very happy in his heart, but he suppressed his laughter and pretended to be serious: "My saint, The religion has always been strict, and you cannot join the religion without the recommendation of an acquaintance. It seems a little inappropriate to just casually recommend you to the religion when we meet by chance? "
Seeing the golden light flashing in his eyes, Qiu Yizhi smiled in her heart: "Brother Fei and I had a very speculative chat, and we are already acquaintances. I hope Brother Fei can be accommodating." As he spoke, he took out another ingot that was nearly two taels in weight. Gold comes and is given to him.
Fei Lian quickly took the gold and weighed it. It was actually heavier than the ingot just now. Seeing that this person named "Xu Jia" was spending a lot of money at a young age, he expected that he must be the son of a wealthy businessman or a landlord. The money of such a dandy is the best. Liar.
Thinking of this, Fei Lian pretended to put the gold into his arms casually, and said seriously: "Okay, I miss you sincerely, so I will make an exception and let you join the Tianzun Sect. Alas! If I do things like this, I still can't do it. I don’t know how Yu Tan wants to punish me!”
Qiu Yizhi heard that he was being pretentious and quickly dug into his sleeves. However, he only brought these two ingots of gold today, and other than that, some scattered silver coins. He turned to look at Wen Lingjiao, but did not dare to look directly at him. Calling his surname, he said: "Have you brought any gold? Lend me some first, so that I can honor and respect this holy angel."
Wen Lingjiao hummed, then turned to He'er and said, "I never carry gold or silver with me, do you? Give it to Qiu first... for him to use."
He'er heard this, glanced at it, took out a pearl the size of a sparrow egg from his arms, and handed it to Qiu Yizhi, not forgetting to add: "This is an authentic Dongzhu, which is worthy of the first courtyard house in the county." Woolen cloth."
Qiu Yizhi thought to herself: I have owed so much debt after all this going back and forth, but I owe it to this unruly He'er. This debt must be repaid earlier, otherwise it will not be just this thin-lipped and sharp-toothed guy. What would Heer say
But this is something to talk about later. Qiu Yizhi took the Dongzhu, played with it for a while, and then handed it to Fei Lian, saying: "It's a small treasure, it's not respectful. I hope that Senior Brother Fei can say a few kind words for me in front of the altar master." "If I have the chance to meet the altar master Jinmian in the future, I will naturally show my respect." Unknowingly, Qiu Yizhi had changed his title.
Fei Lian couldn't wait to take the He'er pearl. He saw that the pearl was crystal clear and had a strange and beautiful brilliance in the sun. He thought to himself: "It is indeed a treasure. The little girl said it is worth a house in the county." It’s no lie!”
So Fei Lian hurriedly hid the pearl in the hem of his clothes and said: "Easy to say, since Brother Xu is determined to contribute to the Holy Cult, I think the Altar Master will take a high look at him. I will also serve as the Altar Master for Brother Xu." A few nice words before you go.”
When Qiu Yizhi saw that Fei Lian had taken the bait so easily, he felt proud and happy at the same time, and said: "To be fair, Senior Brother Fei, I am impatient and just hope to see you soon." To reach the altar master is to fulfill one’s wish.”
Fei Lian had already put down all his vigilance and agreed with a smile: "Junior brother Xu is really lucky. The Double Ninth Festival will be the fifteenth day of next month, and Master Yu held a Dharma conference, where believers from all over gathered. Junior brother Xu just took this opportunity to listen to Once you hear the altar master's instructions, whether the altar master is willing to meet him in person depends entirely on the sincerity of Junior Brother Xu."
The so-called "sincerity" is nothing more than how much money you are willing to pay.
Of course Qiu Yizhi knew what he was doing, so he showed a flattering smile: "It's easy to say, I'm not stupid, and I still know some of the rules. I just don't know where the altar master will hold the ceremony on the Double Ninth Festival next month?"
Fei Lian was still alert. He pulled Qiu Yizhi aside, whispered a few words in his ear, and then raised his voice again: "Junior Brother Xu is just a new disciple. He cannot introduce new people to the religion. During the Dharma Conference, You can’t bring too many outsiders in.”
He suddenly pointed at Wen Lingjiao and said, "But it doesn't matter if you take your wife with you." For some reason, he recognized Wen Lingjiao as Qiu Yizhi's wife.
Wen Lingjiao's face turned red, but in order to accomplish this important matter, she did not get angry on the spot.
A trace of shame flashed across Qiu Yizhi's face, and she quickly covered it up: "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Fei. I hope Senior Brother can take care of you when the time comes." After saying that, he bowed to Fei Lian, "Senior Brother Fei is a noble man. I must have something important to do, so I don’t dare to stay any longer, so please go on your way, senior brother.”
Fei Lian originally came to ask Miaozhen to collect money today. Although the matter was not completed, he unintentionally approached a big benefactor. The task was considered completed, and he exchanged a few words with Qiu Yizhi. He happily went to the southeast.
Everyone watched Fei Lian walk away and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Qiu Yi's way: "Although we and the 'Chen Palace' team have not found out the relationship between Miaozhen and the Tianzun Sect, but with the clue of Fei Lian, it can be regarded as something lost and something gained..."
Wen Lingjiao asked, "What did the man named Fei say to the young master just now?"
Qiu Yizhi pondered for a moment and said: "He said that on the 15th of next month, which is the Double Ninth Festival, an altar leader named Yu in Tianzun Sect will hold a Dharma conference in Mingzhou. By then Tianzun in Jiangnan will The disciples will all gather there.”
(Yu and Yu are not typographical errors, they are fulfilling the foreshadowing. For details, please see the first volume of my work.)
Seeing that Wen Lingjiao was also deep in thought, Qiu Yizhi asked, "I wonder if there is an altar leader named 'Yu' in your sect?"
Wen Lingjiao pondered for a moment and said: "The altar owner whose surname is 'Su' is 'Yu', then there really is no one. If the surname is 'Yu' which is 'Fuyu', there is one, but this person is still there It is impossible to preach in Shanshan and come to Jiangnan privately.”
Qiu Yizhi nodded and said: "Then it seems that this person is a fake. It is not necessarily known whether his surname is really 'Yu'. Only if we go there in person can we know the truth."
He had just finished speaking, but he heard Lin Shuhan say: "I think this seems a bit strange. Why is this person from the Tianzun Sect not coming early or late, but he came just when we were investigating the case in the 'Chen Palace'?" What's more, the Miaozhen case has been widely spread in Jiangnan. Even if there is a altar leader named "Yu", how can he not know about this huge case since he dares to hold a meeting in Mingzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Province? Will they send someone to contact Miaozhen, who has been dead for more than half a month? "
When Qiu Yizhi heard what Lin Shuhan said was so sensible and well-founded, she couldn't help but frown and mutter.
But Lin Shuhan said again: "This man named Fei Lian looks stupid at first glance. Even if he didn't pretend to be a deceiver on purpose, how could the 'Yu Tan Master' send such a person for such a confidential and important matter like contacting outsiders?" Aren’t you afraid of causing trouble if someone comes here?”
After Qiu Yizhi heard this, the two thick eyebrows on his forehead knitted even tighter, and he said thoughtfully: "Mr. Lin's words are indeed somewhat reasonable. However, except for Fei Lian, we really have no other clues or grasping points now. ”
Lin Shuhan also shook his head in embarrassment: "Yes! If you retreat, you will be unable to do anything, and if you advance, you will not be able to avoid falling into a trap. The so-called dilemma is nothing more than yes!"
Wen Lingjiao glanced at Qiu Yizhi and Lin Shuhan, but said: "Mr. Lin is really too cautious. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. I think this fake altar leader's Dharma conference, if you try to break in there, there will be trouble." What’s the matter? Even if it’s a trap, let’s break it. What great things can we achieve by looking forward and backward?”
After hearing Wen Lingjiao's scolding, Lin Shuhan was of course dissatisfied and immediately retorted: "The one who has the temple before the battle is considered the winner has to be counted as more; the one who has the temple as the loser before the battle has to be counted as the less. The more is the winner, the less. Calculate… "
"What's more, it doesn't matter?" Wen Lingjiao immediately retorted without waiting for Lin Shuhan to finish, "Mr. Lin has read a lot of poems and books, but the little girl has also read a lot. If we go to war and do things, it's just like what's in the military books, it's not as good as The generals and military advisors of the two sides are asking each other for advice behind the curtains, so why bother to fight with real swords and spears on the battlefield to avoid the loss of lives? "
Although Qiu Yizhi heard Wen Lingjiao's words in a calm tone, the meaning was that Lin Shuhan was just talking on paper and had no practical experience - the meaning was extremely heavy.
He was afraid that Lin Shuhan would become furious after hearing this, and he was about to say a few words of persuasion, but he didn't know where to start.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuhan actually smiled and said: "What Miss Wen said... is somewhat true. I did think wrong about this matter. However, while doing things boldly, carefulness is also indispensable. Let me ask Mr. Qiu first. , Mingzhou, will you go?”
Qiu Yi nodded with absolute certainty.
Upon seeing this, Lin Shuhan said categorically: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, this matter cannot be delayed or rash. We must brainstorm and be fully prepared before taking action!" (To be continued)
