Chapter 42

Shimen Peak.

The hall was in a patch of grass at the foot of Shimen Peak, Tang Jie rested his hands on the pillow, squinting his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.

Interestingly, Wei Tianchong, Peng Yaolong, and Qi Shaoming were beside him, just like him, sitting in the grass doing nothing, while the rest of Xiyue's disciples disappeared. Not far away, Shi Jingzhai was sitting there stupidly motionless.

I don't know how long it took, a ray of fire flew from a distance, flew to Tang Jie Peng Yaolong and the others, exploded with a bang, and appeared in front of their eyes as a few characters. Looking at the words above, Wei Tianchong and Qi Shaoming smiled together: "It's done."

Tang Jie didn't seem to be moved at all, he just stood up: "Since everything has been settled, then it's our turn to do it, Old Shi, stay still."

"Oh." Shi Jingzhai agreed with dull eyes.

Only then did Tang Jie walk up Shimen Peak, followed closely by Peng Yaolong and the other three.

At the foot of the mountain, I led my disciples to lead the four of them up the mountain. On the way to the top of the mountain, my disciples came to greet me and said, "So it's Junior Brother Tang of the Xiyue Sect. Hasn't Junior Brother Tang already completed the mine prospecting mission and returned to his mission? I don’t know." What's driving here?"

Tang Jie replied: "I want to see Head Qiu about something, and I want to talk to him."

"Let me report back." The disciple had already retreated.

Peng Yaolong snorted: "Pretentious, with his strength, he should already know that we are coming, but he pretends not to know. Most likely, as you said, he really has a ghost in his heart."

Tang Jie smiled: "It doesn't matter whether there are ghosts or no ghosts, as long as you are willing to meet, you are fine."

"Then what if he refuses to see him?" Wei Tianchong asked.

Without the Shangfang sword of the mission of the Xiyue faction, Qiu Shuyu has every right not to see him.

Tang Jie's eyebrows drooped: "After all, he is also a person who has cultivated to the heart of heaven. If he doesn't even have the courage to meet people, then what kind of cultivation is there, how can he improve?"

moment.

The disciple came over in a hurry, bowed to Tang Jie and said: "Master Tang please go."

Tang Jie noticed that the other party even changed their address.

He smiled: "Only me?"

The disciple shivered for a moment: "Young Master Haihan,

The head didn't mention the other three senior brothers. "

Tang Jie nodded, turned around and said, "Then you wait for me here."

Peng Yaolong immediately grabbed him and said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Tang Jie smiled and said: "Brother, you can rest assured that the mountains and waters of Shimen Peak are beautiful, and the reputation of Master Qiu's reputation as a master of mountains and waters is not in vain. Blood will never be allowed to stain this land red."

As he spoke, he patted Yiyi on the shoulder, Yiyi understood, and jumped onto Wei Tianchong's shoulder.

Tang Jie said: "Yiyi and I have the same mind, let her pass the message."

Only then did Peng Yaolong let go of his hand, and took a few steps back.

Tang Jie followed the disciple.

After entering the main hall, under the guidance of the disciples, turn left and turn right until you come to a quiet room and stop.

The disciple said: "The master is waiting for you here."

Pushing open the door, Tang Jie saw that the quiet room was empty, and Qiu Shuyu was sitting on a futon, holding a float in his hand, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

Not far in front of him, there was another futon.

Qiu Shuyu pointed at the futon in front of him with his fly whisk and said, "Sir, please sit down."

Tang Jie strode in, and the door closed automatically with a babble.

When he came to Qiu Shuyu, Tang Jie saluted first: "Tang Jie has met Qiu Shuyu."

Then he sat down on the futon.

Then he said: "The headmaster must have guessed the reason for my visit, and asked the headmaster Qiu to hand over the other half of the goods."

Qiu Shuyu's body suddenly trembled slightly, and a pair of white eyebrows stretched automatically without wind.

Looking at Tang Jie, Qiu Shuyu said: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what Mr. Tang is talking about."

Tang Jie smiled: "Of course the head knows, isn't the whole thing in your plan?"

Qiu Shuyu looked at Tang Jie: "Since Mr. Tang thinks that the old man has some conspiracy, you might as well tell it."

Tang Jie nodded: "Of course, I always have to talk about it. I just happened to tell the head what I analyzed. Please ask the head to help me see if it's right. I guess it should be like this. .”

Tang Jie cleared his throat while speaking, and said:

"This matter begins with the accident two years ago. Because of an incident of poisonous moths wounding people, the Shimen faction was ordered to go to the mine to investigate, and accidentally discovered that there is another world underground. Due to the terror of poisonous moths, your faction could not send Liang Xingbang Shi Jingzhai and the others handled it personally, and at that time, they discovered that there were mineral veins underground, resources worth hundreds of millions... By the way, Qiu Zhenren, you should express your shock at this time."

Qiu Shuyu's face twitched.

Tang Jie smiled and continued: "After discovering these ore veins, your three younger brothers and sisters decided to dig out the ore veins without telling you. But such intensive mining, this matter has not been hidden from you...but you You didn't plan to show your cards, but pretended you didn't know anything, and looked for opportunities in secret. Qijuemen has been working hard to create opportunities for concentrated shipments in order to eat black people, and you probably helped them in this regard. Both sides It was done in secret, which is why there are so many unreasonable things in this shipment."

"My arrival is also likely to be facilitated by you. Through my pressure, and with the help of Yu Wanniang and Qijuemen, you forced Shi Jingzhai and the others to ship the goods quickly, and then took advantage of their opportunity to attract the attention of Qijuemen, secretly The goods are exchanged. You didn't do anything, you didn't take any risks, and you got most of the benefits. It's a good idea."

Qiu Shuyu smiled when he heard it: "I don't know what you are talking about at all. But don't you think something is inappropriate? If everything is as you said, then these resources have been in the faction for two years. Two years , if I want to get it, there should be countless opportunities, why wait until now?"

This question is quite powerful. Indeed, Qiu Shuyu is not the Qijue sect, if he wants to attack, he has many more opportunities than the Qijue sect.

Tang Jie just smiled at this: "Because you also want to ship! This is why you have to endure until now. Although those mineral veins are good, they have to be turned into spiritual money to buy what you need. resources, and their amount is so large, no matter who falls into their hands, they must find a way to sell them. This is also the part that is most likely to expose yourself. So you can’t move, you have to let your juniors go Sell ​​it, and you can't do it until they're done buying and selling."

Qiu Shuyu's face darkened: "But you just said that half of the goods were exchanged."

"That's right. Originally, you wanted to wait until the transaction was completed. But what happened recently made you vigilant. You thought it was wrong. You knew that there might be an accident. In fact, even Shi Jingzhai and the others felt it, so they used it. The real and fake caravan tricks. In order to avoid the chasing and killing of the Moon Cleansing faction after the matter is revealed, so you start ahead of time. According to your plan, Shi Jingzhai and the others will make an extinct deal with Wang. No matter whether it succeeds or not, you will create a situation for them Run away immediately. Half of the goods are here, even if they find something wrong, they will not come back to trouble you again, and in this way, all the charges will be borne by the three of them, and you will still be your Shimen sect master The door, at best, is a sin of lax control."

Qiu Shuyu snorted coldly: "If it's according to what you say, then Yu Wanniang should also bear the crime for me. Does the young master think she would be so stupid?"

Tang Jie sighed: "She is so stupid, willing to give everything for you, but in exchange for your ruthless abandonment."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Shuyu's face changed drastically.

Tang Jie looked at him and said, "You were there all the time, right? Following the convoy. This should be your promise to Yu Wanniang, telling her that you will not abandon her. Of course, it is more likely that you actually want to See if there is a chance to get the other half of the goods. Our appearance disappointed you. In order to save yourself, you chose to give up her, and you just watched her die in Shi Jingzhai's hands, and let her call for help. I didn't even come out... Thanks to her, she still thinks about you even in such a situation, and refuses to say your name."

Qiu Shuyu's face twitched.

Tang Jie sighed: "Actually, you also know that you can't hide it from me, right? You are not shocked to hear that there is an underground mine; you are not shocked to hear that your three juniors and juniors have betrayed you; now you hear that Yu Wanniang is dead. , you are not shocked. In fact, the four words you are the real murderer have been clearly written on your expression. This is not surprising, you are the master, not an actor, you can deny with a cold expression, but you can't be vivid Imitating an innocent person...Of course, it may also be that I disdain to imitate in the face of a small character like me. Because of this, your mouth is still denying, but your behavior has long been admitting."

Is that so?

Qiu Shuyu's expression suddenly eased.

He nodded suddenly: "You're right. In fact, from the moment you came in, I knew what you wanted to say, and I knew there was no need to hide it...I just want to hear how much you understand."

He turned to Tang Jie and said seriously, "I took the half of the goods, and I planned all of this secretly. Most of what you said is correct, except for one thing."

"What's up?"

"My younger brother and younger sister never intended to betray me. On the day they discovered the mine, Wanniang ran over and told me excitedly. I told Wanniang to stop them from telling me!"

Tang Jie nodded: "I understand, because you are the head of a faction, right? Others can do this kind of thing, it's just a person, it has nothing to do with the sect. But you can't, you are the head of a faction, yours All actions are directly related to the sect. Occupying mine veins is a serious crime, if the news is leaked and the Moonwashing sect finds out, the entire Shimen sect will be ruined."

Qiu Shuyu was shocked: "You know?"

Tang Jie sighed: "How could I not know this? If it wasn't for this reason, how dare I come to see you alone?"

He looked at Qiu Shuyu with a playful expression on his face.

Qiu Shuyu suddenly understood, and shouted angrily: "Do you dare to threaten me with the Shimen faction?"

Tang Jie looked at him with sympathy: "That depends on you, not me. Master Qiu, if you hand over the goods, you may not be able to protect yourself, but at least your sect can be preserved. Your relatives and disciples are all Can survive... I remember you also have a son."

"Hand over?" Qiu Shuyu laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, ridiculous! Do you think I don't know your thoughts? If I hand over the goods now, I will be charged with the crime. So what if I admit it now? Before the Xiyue faction, the old man said that you were wronged and slandered yourself, and the evidence of your quarrel with Shi Jingzhai had long been recorded, and the old man could even bite you back, saying that you killed Xingbang and the others!"

Tang Jie sighed: "Evidence...it's evidence again. Head Qiu, has this become the only bargaining chip for your life? But it's a pity, I'm afraid you won't be able to count on this hope."

Qiu Shuyu sneered: "You want to say you have evidence?"

"Of course." Tang Jie said with certainty: "Although the goods in the convoy were replaced by you, you can be sure that the goods are still there before loading. After all, Shi Jingzhai and the others personally supervised the loading, and they will never There is a loss. After Shi Jingzhai and the others leave, you go to replace the goods. But the problem is that this batch of goods has more than 40 vehicles, and it is not easy to take it away. If it is that simple, Shi Jingzhai and the others don’t have to use it. The cart pulled. You're on your own and you're out of luck, so the best thing to do is find a nearby place to bury it."

Qiu Shuyu's complexion changed drastically.

Tang Jie continued: "The place where the goods are buried must not be visited by people. If you want to stun Liang Jun and the others and prevent the escorts from discovering them, you also need to find a clean and uninhabited place. Although a place like this is not Less, but not necessarily too much, as long as you have the heart, check all the way along the route that the convoy passed, and slowly break ground, you can always find it. But it is a hard work, and if it really takes time, it may take thirty to fifty days... ...but it always finds out."

Qiu Shuyu's body trembled completely.

Tang Jie continued: "You know that I have invited more than 20 senior brothers to help, but now there are only four of me on Shimen Peak, what are the others doing? They are all looking for you to hide The treasures near the route have gone. Not only that, but I can also mobilize the guards of the Canglong Mansion to help find them, even if they dig three feet, they will not miss every piece of land...It is only a matter of time before they are found."

Qiu Shuyu glared at Tang Jie fiercely: "What kind of hatred does this old man have against you? Are you going to treat me like this?"

His tone softened imperceptibly.

"What enmity?" Tang Jie looked at him and said, "Actually, I'm really not a person who likes to be aggressive. It's just that there are some things that force me to trouble you... You also know how valuable this item is." Yes. 110 million! Let’s count as 100 million. If I hand them in, according to the rules of the Xiyue Sect, I will get 20%, that is 20 million. Qiu Zhenren, take most of it at once, then It's like robbing me of ten million yuan! How can I not be in a hurry with you?"

Qiu Shuyu was stunned.

That's right, if he took half of the goods, wouldn't Tang Jie be short?

If it was said that he hadn't come forward, Tang Jie might have turned a blind eye to ignore it, but now that it's about money, it's a big deal.

"So that's how it is!" The next moment, Qiu Shuyu's face turned hard.

He suddenly laughed loudly: "It turns out that you, Tang Jie, are also working hard for money. If that's the case, then I'll give you the ten million. Let me go, okay?"

Tang Jie regretted: "It's too late, everything has already been done, and there is no turning back, just like you. Besides, if there is a legal 10 million, what do I want the illegal 10 million for?"

"I'll double it for you!" Qiu Shuyu called out.

Tang Jie still shook his head.

"You let me go, I will share with you equally!"

Tang Jie sighed: "It's useless even if you give it all to me. Some money is good, but you can't get it. Real man, you should understand this truth better than me."

Qiu Shuyu glared at Tang Jie, his aura spread like fire, and the entire quiet room was filled with his terrifying pressure.

Qiu Shuyu's voice was like thunder: "Tang Jie, you should know that here, I can slash you with just one palm!"

"I know, but the Shimen Sect will also suffer disaster in the future." Tang Jie said without changing his expression.

"Next?" Qiu Shuyu laughed loudly: "When I kill you, I will kill all the disciples of Xiyue, and then take my Shimen disciples away from this place..."

"I'm afraid you have no chance to leave." Tang Jie looked at him sympathetically.

"What did you say?" Qiu Shuyu was taken aback.

Tang Jie didn't speak, just closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.

The next moment, a loud and clear voice suddenly came from the top of Shifeng Peak: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, are you safe? Han Tianji is here to visit."

"Han Tianji?" Hearing this name, Qiu Shuyu was shocked all over, and glared at Tang Jie: "You actually found the Yuhua faction?"

Tang Jie opened his eyes: "To be exact, Zhang Taixu was entrusted to invite Yuhua to come here. They are also Yongsui Mountain cultivating sects. They have been oppressed by you all these years, right? Now the fourth elder of Shimen has gone Thirdly, with the support from the Xiyue faction, if the Yuhua faction doesn't come to recover their position, it will be unreasonable."

He leaned closer to Qiu Shuyu and said: "The three of their Tianxins are here, don't count on the Yumen Tiansuo Formation, I have spent so many days in the Shimen Sect for nothing. Peng Yaolong, Wei Tianchong, and Qi Shaoming have already taken over." The center, with three Heavenly Fiend Thunder Beads in hand, is useless."

"Tang Jie, you..." Qiu Shuyu had a raging killing intent.

Tang Jie still calmly said: "If you think this is not enough, then you might as well send you another message. After you come back, you know that something is wrong, so let your son and his family leave first and look for places to hide. This is not wrong, but There are too many people you want to protect. The more people you want to protect, the greater the possibility of exposure. Senior Brother Bei and Senior Brother Wu found them before I came, and they are now in our hands."

"You!" This sentence was like a fatal blow, hitting Qiu Shuyu's heart hard, all the killing intent in his body disappeared, and he just stared blankly at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie sighed and said, "Tell me where the goods are, and then give me the information about the Yumen Tiansuo Formation and all the ancient books of your sect, and then commit suicide. I will guarantee that your Shimen sect and your family will be safe."

Qiu Shuyu stared at him blankly, and finally said after a while, "Tang Jie... you are ruthless!"

"The leader has won the prize."

—————————

There were already dozens of cultivators on the square of Shimen Peak. The leader was tall and tall, with a broad face and big ears, and he was imposing. In the distance, a large group of Shimen disciples looked at this group of people tremblingly.

When Tang Jie came out of the hall, the big-eared man was the first to greet him, and laughed loudly: "Is it my little friend Tang Jie?"

Tang Jie arched his hands and replied: "Exactly, I have met Master Han, thank you Master Han for running thousands of miles to help, I dare not forget the love of giving charcoal in the face of hardship."

The big man smiled and said: "Little friend Tang, you are too polite. I, Yuhua faction, have been oppressed by Shimen faction for thirty years. Now I finally have the opportunity to avenge this hatred. This is all thanks to you."

As he said that, he bowed to Tang Jie.

It seems that they really hate the Shimen faction.

Tang Jie hurriedly helped Han Tianji: "The real person is doing this great gift, it's trying to break me."

While being supported by Tang Jie, Han Tianji whispered, "How is Qiu Shuyu now?"

Tang Jie was about to answer when he heard a loud bang suddenly from the hall.

Everyone looked at the same time, but they didn't see anything unusual in the hall.

After another moment, a spiritual wave emerged from the hall.

Tang Jie murmured: "Dead."

In the quiet room, Qiu Shuyu was lying on the ground, his head was split open, and the blood mixed with the brain was gurgling out...
