Ascending, Do Not Disturb

Chapter 49: Assassination

Views:

Konghou, who was sitting in the carriage, also heard the loud noise outside. She opened the curtain of the carriage and stuck her head out to look back.

Seeing her like this, Huan Zong laughed: "Lin Hu, let the carriage go back."

Konghou saw that the troublemaker was a foundation-building male cultivator. This male cultivator was dressed in ordinary clothes, had ordinary appearance, and even his voice was uncharacteristic.

At this time, there were many people going out of the city and entering the city, and the male cultivator attracted the attention of many passers-by as soon as he started making trouble. Hearing what he said about the big sect bullying people, everyone who went out of the city and entered the city wanted to stay and watch the fun, and soon the city gate was blocked.

When the head guard saw the situation, he was afraid of a stampede accident, so he quickly arranged for guards to maintain order at the scene. There were old people and children in the crowd.

"If you didn't do anything wrong, why are you busy chasing people?" the man said indignantly, "Aren't ordinary people human?"

The chief guard ignored him and asked the guards to wrap a rope around him: "Fathers and villagers, the city gate is for people to enter and exit. Isn't it beautiful that everyone is blocked here, delaying other people's major events." He pulled it up and set it up Line, "So please cooperate, just stand on this line and watch the progress of things, remember to pay attention to the elderly and children around you, don't step on it."

When all the people stood outside the rope, the chief guard turned his head and bowed his hands to the man, and said neither humble nor arrogant: "Please forgive me, everyone who enters Yancheng must prove their identity, and I will only embarrass you."

The people watching the lively were all standing outside at this time, their eyes blazing, and the man was looked at by so many eyes with such eyes, inexplicably felt like a monkey on the stage, for laughing and having fun with them. After calming down, the man snorted coldly: "You said so many excuses, don't you just want tolls?"

"This fellow Daoist, why don't you forgive me?" Seeing that these guards were ordinary warriors, Konghou was worried that the foundation-building period male cultivator would violently injure others. The guard just wanted to say that they couldn't go inside, but when they saw Konghou leaping to the head guard's side, they swallowed the words again.

If you can't win, don't dare to stop, and look so beautiful, forget it.

"You've said so much, but you're not willing to take out your life card. I don't think there's something wrong with these guards, but your ulterior motives." Konghou walked around the male cultivator, seemingly standing casually, but he just happened to be standing there. It can protect the position of the monks and the common people, "So many monks entered Yancheng, and they all took out their life cards, why are you the only one who can't? Could it be..."

Konghou's eyes swept over him once: "Could it be that you are an evil cultivator who wants to sneak into the city to murder the people. Seeing that you can't get into the city, you are deliberately making trouble here and smearing the reputation of loose cultivators and sect disciples."

"You are talking nonsense, it's clear that these guard dogs look down on people and don't respect us loose cultivators, so they deliberately make things difficult." No matter what Konghou said, the man insisted on the words of Yancheng guards bullying the loose cultivators.

Konghou is almost certain that there is something wrong with the identity of this male cultivator. These days, the loose cultivators she has seen have different temperaments, but there is absolutely no such person who makes trouble, and can't wait for the loose cultivator to fight with the sect. Looking at the lively people around, there are monks and ordinary people, pointing at the man, not believing his words, but watching his good show.

It seems that Hefengzhai is usually very popular, no matter how troublesome the man is, everyone will not believe his words. Perhaps the man was not meant to be seen by the locals. Those cultivators who came to Yancheng for the first time, as long as a few people believed him, would spread the word from ten to one hundred.

This world lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people who listen to rumors.

"Hefeng Zhai'an and the son are here!"

"Where is Mr. Anhe?"

Hearing the suppressed excited voices of the young girls, Konghou turned around and looked into the city gate. Under the sun, a handsome young man in a white robe embroidered with gold patterns came riding on a black horse. The horse stopped outside the rope. He flew and stood with his hands behind his back. He was graceful. Most of the women present were watching him.

Mr. An He seemed to be used to such eyes for a long time. He didn't even look away, and asked the head guard, "What happened?"

The captain of the guard explained everything before and after.

The man scolded and said, "You are so crowded, I can't afford to offend you. It's a big deal that I won't go in this Yancheng." He turned around angrily and was about to leave.

"Stop." A green and clear jade bone fan suddenly appeared in the hands of Mr. An He. He waved the fan slightly, and the male cultivator who was about to squeeze into the crowd flew back uncontrollably, fell to the ground and rolled.

"What do you want to do?" The man got up from the ground, "Don't deceive people too much."

"Evil cultivators with ulterior motives, everyone gets them and kills them." Mr. An He ignored the scolding man and raised his hand to everyone, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, today an evil cultivator tried to sneak into the city, which shocked everyone. "

"No, no, the son is serious." Hearing what An and son said, the more everyone thought about it, the more suspicious this man became, and they already believed in their hearts that he was an evil cultivator. Although there is no more excitement to watch, there are still beautiful men to watch, and the people surrounding them are not willing to leave immediately after the man is tied up.

"Who is this fellow Daoist?" An He Young Master then turned to look at Konghou, and saluted her politely, with no hesitation.

Kong Hou, who was used to seeing the peerless appearance of Emperor Huan Zong, was already very resistant to An He's handsome face, so he didn't get too excited.

An He's gaze swept across her eyes: "Thank you, my friend, for the help."

"A few trivial matters are nothing to worry about." Konghou saw that most of these guards were in their thirties, and guessed that they might be old and young, so they would stand here with a lot of trouble. Now that the people from Hefengzhai have arrived, there is nothing to do with her.

"Farewell."

"Farewell." Young Master An He watched Konghou jump into the carriage and watched the carriage go away with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Eldest brother." The disciple behind him said, "What's wrong with you?"

"You said..." An He said blankly, "Is it possible that the little girl just now was a man disguised as a woman?"

"Ah?" The fellow disciple was stunned. The little girl looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate body and a sweet and soft voice. No matter where she looked, she was a real woman, and she was also a beauty.

"Senior brother, you read it wrong." The fellow disciple whispered, "How can there be such a beautiful fake woman?"

Wen Yan Anhe frowned even more, if she was a woman, why was she indifferent when she saw his face

Looking at the man who was tightly bound and covered in gray, An He showed some disgust in his eyes, "Take the person back." Several similar things have happened recently, and this is definitely not a coincidence. Fortunately, the main sect passed the news to them earlier, and they made preparations in advance, otherwise, if the trouble continues like this, something will happen sooner or later.

Pointing to the sign hanging beside the city gate, An He said, "Go back and have someone make the bulletin board bigger, so that everyone who enters the city can see it, lest someone else pretend to be pitiful with the identity of a loose cultivator. "

In his Yancheng realm, no matter whether his sect disciples or loose cultivators, they must follow the rules of Yancheng, and they are absolutely not used to it.

"Okay, Big Brother."

An He was finally satisfied, and flew back to the horse: "Go back."

What happened today must be reported to the main sect to avoid mistakes. Not long after he took over Hefengzhai from his master, before he took over as the master of the Zhaizhai, the master praised him many times in front of the main sect master Jin. face

"Yancheng really lives up to the name of the city of water." Konghou lay on the car window and saw that there were even arch bridges in the city. The river meandered through. The water inside was very clear. Throwing dumped filth into the river, and violators will be fined jade coins.” There are also disciples from the outer sect of Hefengzhai who walked along the river bank with their pockets and picked them up when they saw the dirt.

"The scenery here is really beautiful." Kong Hou turned his head and said to Huan Zong, "Huan Zong, are we still staying at an inn today?"

"You don't need to stay in an inn." Huan Zong shook his head, "I seem to have a small courtyard here." He lifted the curtain and asked Lin Hu, "Lin Hu, where is my courtyard?"

"On the east street of the inner city, people have been cleaning and repairing it all these years, and the son and the girl Konghou can move in at any time." Lin Hu drove the carriage to the inner city. It turned out that this was not the most prosperous area in Yancheng. The carriage went up a huge iron chain suspension bridge with a gate made of gold and iron at the end of the suspension bridge. When the carriage approached the Golden Iron Gate, Konghou noticed that there was something wrong with the nearby aura, and a defensive array should be set up here.

Passing through the gate behind the suspension bridge, Konghou saw trees in full bloom. The old and young, the young and the young, the young and the old were talking and laughing under the road. This scene was like a paradise.

Some disciples of Hefengzhai saw the strange carriage coming in, and they stepped forward and bowed their hands: "Where do you all come from? There are wines and flowers in this small town, and sweet fish and fairy music. I wish you a good time."

"Thank you." Lin Hu handed the life card and the house deed to the disciple. The disciple took a look at it, supported it with both hands, and returned it back. He smiled and took a few steps back, "It turns out that all of you are residents of my Yancheng City. I'm sorry, everyone." The address on the life card was Peicheng, but they also had real estate in Yancheng, and it was the most prosperous area. It seemed that he was also a monk with a lot of wealth.

Lin Hu nodded at him: "You have to work."

Some petals were blown into the carriage by the wind, and Konghou caught it with his hands, only to realize that the flower was fake.

"It's not yet the best season for the flowers to bloom, but because the people of Yancheng like flowers very much, the Hefengzhai Falun Gong Formation has created an illusion of blooming flowers and trees in the inner city for the local people to watch." Huan Zong counted the days. "Wait for a few more days before the weather warms up, and by then the entire Yancheng will fall into a sea of flowers. It happens that you have just broken through the foundation building and entered the heartbeat period, and you need to consolidate your mood, but you can stay in Yancheng for a while to appreciate the wild goose. The city's unique song, dance and flower show will leave."

"Will this delay you too much?" Kong Hou thought of Huan Zong's body and was not very relieved.

"What's the delay? It makes no difference to me if it is two months earlier or later." Huan Zong poured a cup of tea for Konghou, "I also want to see what Yancheng looks like when it becomes a sea of flowers."

"You haven't been to Yancheng before?" Kong Hou suddenly realized, no wonder Huan Zong said that there was his house here, but he didn't know the place, so he never came.

"Senior Lin bought the house for you?" Before anyone came, the house was bought first, as expected of a rich Liuguang Sect disciple.

"In the early years, someone gave me some kindness. It was a gesture of effort, but he insisted on repaying the kindness. I asked him to set up a small courtyard for me here because of the beautiful scenery of Yancheng." Referring to the past, Huan Zong His tone was very flat. If it wasn't for the fact that people who were disgusted with repaying his kindness always came to give him gifts, he would not be able to practice swordsmanship with peace of mind, and he would not have made such a request.

Konghou didn't ask any more questions. She was lying on the car window and looked at the falling petals. The flower tree transformed by the magic array was already so beautiful. When the flowers bloom, what kind of beauty will it be

Later, she found that some people who entered the city would also give Lingshi to the disciples who were guarding the door, but some people didn't. Seeing this scene, she was secretly suspicious, could Yancheng really bully someone of a certain status

"Senior Lin." She walked to the door of the carriage, opened the curtain and asked Lin Hu, "Why did the disciples of Hefengzhai collect spirit stones from some people?"

"It takes spirit stones to support these formations, and Yancheng is famous for its beautiful scenery, so many people come here because of it." Lin Hu explained, "Except for the local people and those who own real estate in Yancheng, other people If you want to enter the inner city to enjoy, you have to pay for spirit stones."

Konghou: "…"

For the first time, she knew that the original sects in the cultivation world could still make money in this way. Hefengzhai's name is very unearthly, but in terms of money, it is very clear.

The carriage passed through a long flowery street and stopped outside an exquisite courtyard. The small courtyard was cleaned inside and out, and there was a barrier shrouded outside.

Lin Hu withdrew the barrier and pushed open the door to let Huan Zong and Konghou enter. There are pavilions and pavilions in the small courtyard, and there are all kinds of lotus ponds and curved bridges, which are as beautiful as fairyland. Konghou felt that the person who received Huan Zong's favor must be very grateful to repay the favor, otherwise he would not spend so much energy on this yard.

"The main hall and the side halls in front have not been used much, and there are only a few servants living in the row rooms at the back. We live in the inner courtyard." Lin Hu introduced the layout of the courtyard to the master Huan Zong, "The inner city of Yancheng is not big. Although this small courtyard is exquisite, it does not cover a wide area, and there are no other courtyards, so I can only aggrieve Miss Konghou and live in the backyard with my son."

"What's the matter?" Konghou touched the carvings on the railing of the Jiuqu Bridge, "We are all our own people, so we should pay attention to the pomp and circumstance?"

Lin Hu said: "Then I will take the girl to the backyard. There is a hot spring in the backyard, and the girl can go take a dip."

"Okay." Konghou nodded again and again, with a smile on his face that surprised both Lin Hu and Huan Zong.

When I was a child, my father was addicted to music, and it was impossible to take her and my mother to the hot springs in the suburbs of Beijing. Later, when Emperor Jinghong changed his dynasty and ascended the throne, he would take his concubines and children to other palaces in the suburbs of Beijing to escape the summer or take a hot spring, but he did not take her. Play together. So since she was a child, she heard other people say how comfortable the hot spring palace on the outskirts of Beijing is, but she didn't have a chance to take a dip.

Now this small courtyard is so beautiful, and there are hot springs, it is simply perfect.

When he got to the backyard and asked where the hot spring was, Konghou happily passed by, leaving Huan Zong and Lin Hu, the master and servant, staring with wide eyes.

"Young Master, the female cultivator who was with Liu Yanmen's disciple Bian Hong during the Qi refining period has disappeared." Lin Hu said, "Shortly after Bian Hong was removed as the chief disciple of the Zhang Sect, the female cultivator named Green Waist disappeared. No. The female corpse found at the Luyao household registration office has also been confirmed to be Luyao himself. I suspect that the real Luyao was killed by the woman next to Bian Hong, just to replace her identity and get close to Bian Hong. "

"Poor that green waist has been on the cultivation road for less than ten years, and he died at the hands of evil cultivators." Lin Hu sighed, "If Liu Yanmen and Qingyumen marry, it will be a good thing for both of them. With such a commotion now, although the two sides will not be enmity, it is not as good as usual."

"A man who can change his mind will still change his mind after he becomes a Taoist partner with a woman. The ceremony of forming the Taoist ceremony has not been completed, but it is a good thing for the female disciple of Qingyumen." At that time, he saw it very clearly, "In this matter, Bian Hong is not innocent."

"Young Master, I know what you mean." Lin Hu frowned, "It is disgusting that the evil cultivator uses such dirty methods."

"They only dare to use this method, it shows that they do not have the courage to confront us." Huan Zong lowered his eyelids, his expression was slack, "These evil cultivators today are not as capable and courageous as those of the past. They lost all their ancestors' faces."

Lin Hu: "..."

Xie Xiu... Xie Xiu also has ancestors.

There seems to be some truth to this. Forget it, he still went out to buy fish for the two of them to eat, things that didn't require much brainstorming were more suitable for him.

Konghou was lying on the edge of the hot spring, took out the tea and snacks from the storage ring, cast a levitation spell on the tray, and closed his eyes in great enjoyment. The wind blew the veil hanging outside the hot spring, and the petals transformed by the magic circle floated into the small courtyard. Konghou opened his eyes, and a Feixun talisman flew in from the outside.

Reaching out to catch it, she connected her divine sense to the Feixun Talisman, which was a letter from her master and brothers.

The letter was all asking if she ate well, slept well, and whether the disciples of the Glazed Light Sect got along well.

At the end of the letter, I started to congratulate her on her successful promotion to the heartbeat stage. She also specially emphasized that her practice did not have to be too hard. There were still many brothers and sisters on her, so there should not be too much pressure.

Other people's teachers are always worried that their apprentices are not enough, but her teachers are always worried that she is too tired.

Putting the Feixun talisman into the storage bag, Konghou found an unused Feixun talisman and began to reply to the master and brothers. For example, how beautiful Yancheng is, how shameless Xie Xiu is, how fun it is to soak in hot springs, how delicious the fruit wine brought from the sect is when you drink it in hot springs. Konghou is like a country girl who entered the city for the first time. She couldn't wait to share what she had been waiting for for a long time and finally got it with her closest people.

There were a lot of messes, and even the disciples of the Glazed Light Sect were richer than her, and they all said it in the Feixun Talisman. It wasn't until the Feixun Talisman was filled with spiritual power that she could no longer use her divine sense to describe other information in it, so she took out a piece of Master's hair and used spiritual power to push the Feixun Talisman out.

After returning to the Feixun Talisman, Konghou climbed out of the hot spring pool, put on his clothes and went out. A woman in a green robe stood outside the door, "Girl, the meal is ready, please come with me."

"Huan Zong and Senior Lin also passed?"

"Young Master and Lin Xianchang have arrived first." The woman turned to reply, and treated Konghou very respectfully.

However, Konghou stopped not long after walking. She looked at the woman and said, "There seems to be a magic circle in front of you?"

The woman was stunned for a while before she realized what Konghou said, and she replied, "Because the yard has not lived in it for a long time, Lin Xianchang has set up some magic circles in the yard before. I have shallow roots and don't know much about magic circles. , but I haven't been hurt by the magic circle all these years."

"Really?" Konghou nodded with a smile, "You are here to lead the way."

"You're too polite, please come this way." The woman smiled gently, turned around and continued walking with Konghou.

However, at this moment, Konghou took out the protective spell and the anti-phagocytic spell and put them on his body, turned and flew away from the woman, withdrew his voice and shouted, "Senior Lin, help!" It's not suitable for her to hold on to tossing herself with scars.

And he can't be called Huan Zong, he is not in good health. In a short moment, Konghou had many thoughts flashed in his mind.

Huan Zong was reading a book in the room when he heard Konghou calling for help, and before he could throw away the book in his hand, he flew out the window.

The woman didn't expect Konghou's face to change as soon as she said it. She was stunned before she attacked Konghou with the magic weapon. She moved as fast as an afterimage, but she slapped on Konghou's body, and Konghou was not injured. Daoli escaped farther, but she was severely injured.

"Backlash Talisman?" The woman's face was pale, her throat was sweet, and she was almost forced to vomit blood from the backlash. Seeing that she missed a hit, she didn't want to fight, she turned and fled.

Quick, must be quick, or she will die here today.

However, her response was still slow. She could only hear the faint sound of dragon roars in the air, and a silver light passed through her. Her whole body was like a falling stone, falling straight and heavy from the air.

"My Nascent Soul, my Nascent Soul..." The woman stroked the Lingtai. At this time, the Lingtai was destroyed, and the Nascent Soul in the Lingtai was destroyed. After spitting up a few mouthfuls of blood, the woman turned her head in horror and looked at the handsome man walking towards her with a sword in hand.

"I beg the immortals to spare my life. I was ordered by Lord Mozun to pretend to be a servant of other sects to hunt down famous disciples. This is my first shot. For the sake of my never succeeded, please forgive me. Dog life." The woman's voice became rough and unpleasant, where is this woman, obviously a male evil cultivator.

hum.

The sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, the sword fell from his hand, and Xie Xiu was silent again.

The last drop of blood on the tip of the sword fell to the ground, Huan Zong put the sword into the sheath, and the sword disappeared in his hand. He turned to look at Konghou: "Konghou, are you injured?"

Konghou sat on the roof, shook his head while holding a blackened anti-phagocytic spell, and said dumbly for a while, "Huan Zong, is that sword just now your life sword?"

At the moment when the sword flew out, she suddenly thought it was a dragon going out to sea, and the huge spiritual pressure and sword energy made her almost breathless. Fortunately, she wasn't someone who couldn't get along with her body, so she simply sat down.

"This evil cultivator is already the Yuan Ying's Great Perfection." Huan Zong's face was extremely pale, "Fortunately, you found something wrong in time, otherwise I'm afraid you will be injured."

"I think it's strange, with the character of Senior Lin and you, you will definitely not let a strange maid come over and call me alone. Besides, you and Senior Lin don't value this small courtyard, why would you deliberately set it up in the house? Magic circle, how can you save so much." Being able to set up a barrier outside the gate is already Senior Lin's greatest thrift.

This evil cultivator misestimated the wealth of the Glazed Light Sect disciples. If this is the yard of her brothers and sisters, she will not doubt even if there are magic circles all over the ground.

So, it's all about money.

"You'll be fine." Seeing that Konghou was still in the mood to ridicule his wealth, he knew that she was not too frightened. Huan Zong smiled, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "I'll change my clothes."

"Okay." Kong Hou nodded, jumped off the roof and took two steps, but he felt that something was wrong, and turned around to catch up with Huan Zong's departure.

Walking through the corner corridor, Huan Zong released his hand from his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He took out a handkerchief expressionlessly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked up and saw Kong Hou standing on the roof, stunned.

"Huanzong!" Konghou jumped down from the roof opposite and said angrily, "Are you injured?"

"It's not hurt, I'm old..."

"Don't talk." Konghou held his wrist and injected spiritual power into his body. The spiritual energy inside was disordered and the meridians were unstable.

"I can't bear it if I'm not feeling well." Konghou glared at him and used his spiritual power to help Huan Zong to induce the chaotic spiritual energy. He didn't let go until her spiritual energy was exhausted and the spiritual energy in Huan Zong's body stabilized: " People who hide everything in their hearts are stupid. You are not a poor little pity that no one loves and no one loves, why are you so harsh on yourself? "

Huan Zong: "I..."

"Don't talk, do you know it's scary for girls to get angry?" Konghou grabbed Huan Zong's shirt and pulled him down, preparing to put the Qi Condensation Pill into his mouth.

Lin Hu, who carried the fish into the door, silently watched as Miss Konghou put her hand on the son's chest, and the son lowered his head and took a step back.

Huan Zong turned his head and saw him standing at the second gate.

Lin Hu couldn't help but think that he should go buy another fish instead of here.
