Chapter 106: Chapter 106
The four of Shaoyue flew across the vast desert with their swords, and after a storm passed, a huge and splendid city appeared in front of them. Bai Zihua looked ahead and said, "Liancheng has arrived."
Hua Qiangu sighed again and again, "Wow! This is Liancheng, so beautiful!"
Ni Mantian couldn't help but marvel at the Liancheng in front of her eyes, "It's really beautiful, it's even better than my Penglai Island!"
"Liancheng is the richest city in the world, and Shangxian Wugou is the city lord here." Shaoyue explained.
Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian smiled at each other, looking at Liancheng with great anticipation.Under the leadership of Bai Zihua, the three of Shaoyue came to Liancheng, at this time a disciple said politely: "The Shangxian is retreating, please wait a moment, I will report."
After the disciple left, Hua Qiangu looked around and saw the resplendent and magnificent hall, even the fountain in the middle was golden, "It is worthy of being the richest city in the world!"
Ni Mantian walked up to Hua Qiangu, nodded in agreement, Hua Qiangu asked curiously, "I'm really curious, what does this Wugou Shangxian look like?"
Ni Mantian thought for a while, and said: "He is so rich, I guess, he is wearing gold and silver jewelry all over his body, gold bracelets on his wrists, and gold rings on his fingers, right?"
Hua Qiangu fantasized about this scene, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Mantian, why do I feel like you're talking about an upstart merchant, not Shangxian?"
Shaoyue laughed and shook her head, "That's right, Wugou is the Shangxian, he just inherited the position of city lord, not some villain who just got rich."
"Oh..." Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian nodded in understanding, then Hua Qiangu turned around and walked backwards, watching the splendor in the hall, but didn't notice that she was almost walking to the edge of the fountain behind her.
Ni Mantian tilted his head to look at Hua Qiangu, and said in shock: "Qiangu, be careful!"
At the moment when Ni Mantian made a sound, a white shadow flashed past, Shaoyue watched Hua Qiangu walking backwards, just when she was about to remind her, she saw that she had already walked to the fountain, and was unconsciously caught Tripped over the edge of the fountain and was about to fall into the fountain.Shao Yue flew forward, grabbed Hua Qiangu's hand with one hand, pulled Hua Qiangu back hard, and Hua Qiangu fell into Shao Yue's arms like this.
Shaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment a cold voice sounded, "It seems that you really protect this apprentice of yours."
After hearing the voice, Shaoyue let go of Hua Qiangu, Hua Qiangu lowered his head, concealing his nostalgia and unnaturalness, while Wugou kept observing the two of them, after seeing Hua Qiangu's expression, he felt a little nervous. Surprised, but no expression on his face.
Bai Zihua walked over, "Wugou, she is Xiaoyue's apprentice, Hua Qiangu," and then looked at Ni Mantian, "She is the head of Penglai Island, Ni Mantian."
Wugou looked at Hua Qiangu, and said with a sneer, "It's completely different from what I imagined, the aptitude is much more mediocre...it doesn't count, otherwise, the injury from the Soul-Elimination Nail would not have healed in such a short period of time. gone."
Seeing Wugou's indifferent face, Hua Qiangu explained in a low voice, "Master has been dredging my tendons and healing my injuries, so I recovered so quickly."
"Oh?" Wugou looked at Shaoyue inquiringly, "I really want to know what's so good about your apprentice that makes you love her so much?"
"Xiao Gu is my apprentice, do I need any reason to protect her?" Shao Yue said without changing expression, Hua Qiangu's heart warmed after hearing this, and the corners of her lips could not help but raise slightly.
Wugou stroked his sleeves, "I just never saw any master who would do what you do."
Shaoyue smiled, "Really? Isn't there one now? Besides, there are so many wonders in this world, and there are many that you haven't seen before. The key lies in whether you have the courage to face it." Shaoyue pointed out .
Ni Mantian from behind whispered to Hua Qiangu: "Hey, Qiangu, why do you feel that Wugou Shangxian and Jianzun are weird?"
Hua Qiangu also shook her head in doubt, she also felt that Shangxian Wugou seemed to be a little unfriendly towards Master, she didn't understand what was going on.
Wugou frowned, he sensed something in Shaoyue's words, and when he was about to ask, Bai Zihua said, "Wugou!"
Wugou looked at Bai Zihua, had no choice but to give up, and walked towards him, "Why do you come back again and again? Could it be that you specially brought your junior sister and her apprentice to see me?"
Bai Zihua and Wugou went to the upper seat of the main hall together, Bai Zihua said as he walked, "No, I came to look for someone, I want to know if there is a maid named Yunya in your palace?" On the way, Shao Yue told him everything about the investigation at Shaobai Gate.
Wugou paused, stopped in his tracks, turned around and said coldly: "Yes, but she has never changed her mind. She was caught stealing in the palace and has already been kicked out."
"When did this happen?" Hua Qiangu asked hastily.
"A year ago." Wugou said expressionlessly.
"Then dare to ask Shangxian, do you know that there was a disciple of Shaobai Sect named Mei'er who had a close relationship with Yunya." Hua Qiangu continued to ask.
"I don't know." Wugou looked at Bai Zihua, while Shaoyue looked at Wugou, trying to get some clues from his face.
"Hey, it seems that the clue has been broken again." Ni Mantian said in frustration.
Hua Qiangu hurriedly asked: "Shangxian, because this matter is related to the murder of the heads of various sects, so we want to collect clues in Wugou Palace and conduct an investigation, is that okay?"
Seeing that Bai Zihua didn't express his opinion, Wugou responded, "Yes, if you want to know something, you can ask my disciples."
"Thank you, Shangxian!" Hua Qiangu thanked, and smiled at Ni Mantian.
Wugou stretched out his hand and pointed to the table next to him, "Please sit down!"
Bai Zihua walked over first, Shaoyue sat opposite to Bai Zihua, Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian sat next to Shaoyue in turn.
Wugou sat down beside Bai Zihua, Bai Zihua suddenly remembered something, took out a medicine bottle, handed it to Wugou, and said, "By the way, I just met Tan Fan, he asked me to give this to you."
Wugou took it over, opened the medicine bottle and put it under his nose to smell it, then he was startled, then put the medicine bottle away without changing his face, and said calmly: "It's intentional."
Shaoyue was startled when she saw that Wugou smelled the ingredients of the medicine, she asked: "Why did the immortal Tanfan send you the medicine, and you..." Shaoyue looked at Wugou up and down, knowing that she had practiced medicine for many years Judging from my experience, "There is no disease."
Wugou said indifferently: "I don't know, I'm really not sick." He looked at Bai Zihua, pretending to be relaxed, "It's just how has he been doing these years, is he playing childish temper with you again?"
"Fortunately," Bai Zihua recalled the scene when he met Tan Fan. He really ignored him and said helplessly, "He actually understands everything, but he can't see through his feelings. He still has feelings for me and... complain." Bai Zihua glanced at Shaoyue, and Tan Fan still misunderstood him and Xiaoyue until now.
Wugou naturally saw Bai Zihua's look, then remembered what Zixun said, and frowned slightly.At this time, a disciple came forward and rushed up, "City Master, I have something important to report!"
Wugou got up and walked over, looked back at the people behind him, then waved his hand, and set up a barrier behind him.Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian looked at Wugou, but they couldn't hear anything.
Only then did Wugou walk over in peace, the disciple bowed his head and said, "What's the matter, tell me."
"City Master, I went to deliver food last night, but I didn't expect to let her escape from the vajra lock. I hope the City Master will punish her." The disciple pleaded guilty.
"Forget it, if she hadn't opened the barrier to let Bai Zihua and the others in, but she didn't close it because she was afraid they would get suspicious, she wouldn't have escaped." Wugou said helplessly.
"Then now..."
"You send someone to search secretly first, and I will arrive later."
"Yes!"
But Bai Zihua and Shaoyue who were inside the barrier could hear clearly, this small barrier could not trouble them two immortals, they looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.Wugou came over and removed the barrier, "It's getting late, you guys are tired all the way, go to rest early."
Everyone got up, Bai Zihua walked up to Wugou, "Wugou, play chess with me again."
Unable to refuse, Wugou nodded in agreement, and Shaoyue left the hall with Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian.In the dead of night, a woman covered in scars and wearing Shaobaimen's clothes ran over in a panic. She ran to a cave to hide, and sat on the ground shrinking, with her hands around her legs, regretting: " Yunya, Yunya, you have to save me, you must save me, I’m so scared,” then buried his head in his arms, choked up, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”
After leaving Wugou Palace, Shaoyue stopped suddenly, Hua Qiangu asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"
Nimantian also looked at Shaoyue suspiciously, Shaoyue looked back at Wugou Palace, and said, "Meier may be here."
"What?" Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian asked in surprise.
"Jianzun, how do you know?" Ni Mantian asked.
"I heard the conversation between Wugou and his disciple just now, and the senior brother also knew about it, so the senior brother deliberately delayed the time so that we can go find Meier now, she has already escaped." Shaoyue explained.
"But..." Hua Qiangu was puzzled, "Since Meier is here, why did Shangxian Wugou hide this matter?"
"He was the one who caught Meier, so he naturally wanted to hide it." Shaoyue said.
Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian were astonished, Shaoyue said: "Okay, as long as you find Meier, everything will be clear, let's go!" Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian nodded, and quickly followed Shaoyue to find Meier.
Coming to Wugou's study room, Bai Zihua sat in front of the chessboard, Wugou made tea for the two of them, Bai Zihua took a sip from the teacup, looked up to see Wugou holding the teacup thoughtfully.
"Wugou, you feel a little absent-minded, but what's the important thing to do?" Bai Zihua asked.
Wugou took a sip of tea, said: "No." Then he continued to drink.
Bai Zihua took a look at the study room, it seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and the furnishings inside were also uneven, like the traces left by someone, but the owner didn't want to remove the traces.
Bai Zihua said: "I still remember that you used to be cleanliness and harsh in life. I didn't expect you to have this moment."
Wugou turned his head and glanced at the room, remembering that there used to be a busy figure cleaning his study, and he was always sitting at the table reading a book, that figure would always look back at him secretly and smile.
Wugou withdrew his thoughts, picked up the chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard, Bai Zihua also picked up the chess pieces, and continued: "Speaking of us, Donghua and Tanfan hate each other like enemies, and you, although you seem indifferent, are the most tolerant in your heart. Donghua eliminates evil and saves people, Tanfan practices medicine to save people, and you have always been inspiring and saving people."
Wugou's face was slightly moved, and Bai Zihua's words continued, "I remember, you once told me that no matter how many mistakes a person makes, as long as he repents, he will be forgiven in time."
Wugou knew the meaning of Bai Zihua's words, and retorted: "I recently discovered that not all regrets can be made up in time, Zihua, after I met Hua Qiangu, I was very worried about you, Shaoyue protected her like this disciple, you just let her go."
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Wugou, I think you're overthinking, I have my own measure of everything." Bai Zihua dropped the chess piece and said.
The three of Shaoyue searched for it in the middle of the night, but they still couldn't find Meier. Shaoyue turned around and said, "Xiaogu, Mantian, let's search separately. No matter who finds it first, we must use the sound transmission talisman to notify the other two in time, understand? "
"Yeah!" Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian nodded heavily, and then the three of them searched in three different directions.
After searching for a long time but still not finding it, Hua Qiangu sat on a stone in the woods and took a rest.Suddenly she heard movement, she hurriedly hid, when several disciples of Liancheng appeared from the road, she quickly lowered her head to hide.After they had all passed by, Hua Qiangu poked her head out, looked at the backs of those people, and asked strangely, "What are they doing in such a hurry?" Then remembering Shao Yue's words, she decided to follow quietly.
After playing for a whole night, at dawn, suddenly a disciple came to report, Wugou got up and waved him to retreat, then turned around and said to Bai Zihua, "Zihua, we have been playing chess all night, why don't we go back and rest earlier, I will There are important things to deal with.”
Bai Zihua seemed calm and said, "Are you going to continue killing people?"
"You already know." Wugou paused, then said clearly, originally he didn't intend to hide it from Bai Zihua.
"Tan Fan used Polygonum multiflorum and Angelica to give you medicine, and he earnestly tried to persuade you to go back. I think the forbidden techniques used by Yanzhangmen and the others have nothing to do with you. Yantingsha, Feiyan, and Xiangyu, all of them They are first-class masters, few people can kill them, but I really never thought it would be you." Bai Zihua frowned and said sadly.
Wugou admitted generously, "Yes, I killed people."
"Why?"
"Is it important? They are all damned." Wugou said bitterly.
Bai Zihua got up and said seriously, "Follow me back to Changliu for trial."
Wugou sneered, "Zihua, why are you still so naive, I won't go back with you, when I kill the last person, everything will be over." After finishing speaking, Wugou threw the pawn in his hand, The chess pieces landed on the chessboard, instantly forming a formation, trapping Bai Zihua inside.
Bai Zihua took a step forward and was immediately bounced back. Wugou said to himself, "This formation is what I have learned all my life. Although it cannot trap you forever, it is enough for me to kill her. Bai Zihua, we have known each other for so many years I want to see how long Bai Zihua, the one with the highest qualifications among the five of us, will have to wait to break through my formation." After Wugou finished speaking, he disappeared into the room, and Bai Zihua couldn't stop him. He looked worriedly at the back of Wugou leaving.
