Chapter 140 True or False
Chapter 140 True or False
In this era, people still believe that one's body and hair are given by one's parents. It was also the first time he saw a bald man, and he felt a little itchy in his heart.
The lucky doll glared at him angrily, ran directly behind Chu Xinglan, stuck its head out and snorted at him coldly.
Song Ling sighed and rubbed his hands with some regret.
But he still said seriously: "Thank you for your help. Since you are Brother Chu's friend, you can rest here for a night. We will keep watch."
Chu Xinglan touched the bald head of the lucky doll. He didn't know how Hanshan Temple made it so, but there was not even a single strand of hair. It felt surprisingly good.
Seeing that Fuwawa wanted to hide, he said casually: "Don't you still want to find Song Ling to help you make the elixir? That's great, you can talk to him."
Song Ling looked at Chu Xinglan's unscrupulous hands and the lucky doll's unwilling but resigned expression with envy, and his heart became lively.
"I usually don't accept orders from outside. My master won't allow me to do that."
"However, if you let me touch it, I can give you the spirit stone and make the elixir for you. How about that?"
Fuwa rolled his eyes at him and said, "That's not necessary. I will ask my uncle to take me to see Master Mu Feng."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Xinglan again: "I don't know if there is anyone watching in the dark now. I will keep watch with you so that we can have someone to look after us if anything happens."
Chu Xinglan thought about it and nodded. Song Ling looked lively now, but he was very tired, and so were the disciples.
It is somewhat inhumane to let them keep watch all night. With the lucky doll around, he feels more at ease.
After the matter was settled, Chu Xinglan sent Song Ling, who still felt a little regretful, to practice.
I also found an open space, sat cross-legged, and closed my eyes to rest.
……
Sky Mountain.
Chen Xiu hurried to Xu Zhuo's yard, knocked on the door three times softly, and walked in after getting a response.
In the room, Xu Zhuo was throwing a stack of small notes into the incense burner. When he heard footsteps, he looked up at him.
"Did you find anything?"
Chen Xiu pretended not to see his actions and lowered his head: "There is nothing unusual."
"Shangguan Cheng and Shangguan Chen had a quarrel in the house today. The reason for the dispute was whether to inform Shangguan Wei about the incident with the demon clan."
"Gong Bowen did not send any messages to the outside world. He may have some communication method that we don't know about. He stayed in his room all day today."
"Yuehua Palace, Hanshan Temple, and other families have all sent messages. We intercepted the content and found nothing unusual."
Xu Zhuo chuckled, picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Chen Xiu: "Take a look."
Chen Xiu was a little surprised, but he still took it with both hands, opened it and quickly scanned the contents of the letter. He was a little surprised when he saw the signature.
But thinking about the invitation in his heart, Chen Xiu looked up and asked, "Master, do you want to go and take a look?"
Xu Zhuo tapped his fingers on the table. Instead of answering his question, he asked, "This is the letter Shangguan Weixin sent me this afternoon. How credible do you think it is?"
Chen Xiu read the contents of the letter carefully again and considered it for a while before speaking.
"The letter said that they found Shangguan Cheng was colluding with the men in black. I think that's unlikely. He's obviously still focused on the fight for the position of Patriarch."
"Especially since Shangguan Wei is injured now, he is now the acting head of the family, he should not do such a thing."
"As for finding traces of the demons, this is still possible. We are also speculating that the demons are colluding with the men in black."
Xu Zhuo chuckled and asked, "Who do you think would like to see Shangguan Chen recover? Who would be the beneficiary?"
Chen Xiu answered without even thinking: "Shangguan Wei."
After saying that, Chen Xiu looked at Xu Zhuo in surprise: "Master, do you suspect that the head of the Shangguan family is the one who colluded with the black-robed man?"
"Then his method of sending you this letter to frame Shangguan Cheng is too despicable, isn't it?"
"If there really was collusion, his injuries should also be fake. Then what's the difference between Shangguan Cheng and a rat in his eyes?"
Xu Zhuo nodded: "Yes, so this is also something I can't figure out."
Chen Xiu continued, "If the head of the Shangguan family really has contact with the black-robed man, you can't go. It is very likely that they are setting a trap for you."
Xu Zhuo did not respond, and the room suddenly became quiet.
After a while, Xu Zhuo suddenly said, "Give me the letter so I can take a look at it."
"If Shangguan Wei really wanted to set me up, this would be too obvious and not like his style."
"Besides, when the secret realm here ends, we will naturally set off for Shangguan's house. This way, it will be less obvious and it will be convenient for them to do whatever they want."
Chen Xiu handed the letter back and frowned in thought. No matter how he thought about it, this letter was inappropriate and there was something wrong with it everywhere.
Xu Zhuo took out a few more letters, all of which Shangguan Wei had sent to him before, and placed them on the table one by one.
He took out a fist-sized luminous pearl and examined it carefully, especially the private seal at the end of the letter, which he looked at particularly carefully.
Chen Xiu guessed his thoughts instantly: "Master, do you suspect this letter is fake?"
Xu Zhuo replied without even looking up: "That's possible, isn't it? Or maybe someone switched the letter on the way."
However, after looking carefully several times, he didn't find anything unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief and gave up.
He pulled out a new sheet of paper, sat down at the table, picked up a pen and quickly wrote a simple letter.
Chen Xiu glanced at it curiously and saw that it was clearly written on the letter.
"Brother Shangguan, I'm really sorry."
"I was drinking soup when the letter arrived today. My useless apprentice suddenly barged in and scared me, and then spilled the soup on the letter."
"Although I remedied it in time, the words on the letter are still blurry and unclear."
"I hope Brother Shangguan can rewrite it and send it to me, so as not to delay your work."
Chen Xiu didn't expect that his master had thought for such a long time and actually came up with such an unrealistic idea.
And if he guessed correctly, the useless disciple in his mind should be him.
A breath got stuck in his chest and Chen Xiu wanted to just turn around and leave. Not only was his promised vacation gone, but he even had to endure this.
Xu Zhuo glanced at him and said calmly, "You look down on your master's skill? How foolish."
While he was talking, he had already sealed the letter with his private seal and threw it directly to Chen Xiu.
"Send it out,"
Chen Xiu took the letter and turned to leave. Just as he reached the door, Xu Zhuo called him again.
"By the way, have you received any letters from the southwest?"
Chen Xiu had no choice but to turn back: "The news hasn't come back yet, it should be around tomorrow. We don't have many people there, so we have to move slower."
Xu Zhuo nodded: "After delivering the letter, let a few elders keep an eye on those guys from small sects and families."
"The big Buddha can sit still, but these little shrimps may not be able to."
