Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

He also said that he often went in and out of Cong Yunfeng for more than half a year, stayed there for one night, and left the next day.This matter is not secret, but it is something that many people know.Just as Wen Yu knew about this, Zhang Huayong also knew about it.

After saying goodbye to the Huxin Pavilion during the day, Zhang Huayong immediately went to the Yanming Hall of the Law Enforcement Palace to interrogate Wu Shengjie as he promised Gu Baitang, in order to settle the matter as soon as possible.

After interrogation, Wu Shengjie happened to meet a Jindanqi disciple on Tianzhu Peak when he was receiving tea in the Siwuyuan.The disciple needed some "sulphur powder" for his cultivation, but was made things difficult by the disciple who was in charge of the Siwuyuan, so he didn't give it to him.The reason is that "sulfur powder" is a valuable item in today's comprehension world, and only disciples above the golden core stage in the city can receive a small amount of it per person.However, due to the recent turmoil in Nancheng monks, the disciples of the Siwuyuan can make things difficult for them.Therefore, after wandering around that day, Zhufeng's disciples set their sights on Wu Shengjie, who was obviously a new student.After some begging and adding three "Hanxiancao" which are abundant in Tianzhu Peak, Wu Shengjie went to get a portion of "Sulphur Powder" and secretly handed it to the disciples on the Pillar Peak that day.Naturally, this matter could not escape the eyes of the "Inspection Office", so Wu Shengjie was brought here.

"Director Zhang, I really didn't know that person was on Tianzhu Peak! My master has already told me, and I'm not stupid. I know what form it is now. I always walk around Tianzhu Peak. If Knowing that that person is on Tianzhu Peak, I really wouldn’t help him if I beat him to death!” Wu Shengjie hastily argued that he had really tasted the power of the inspection office now.

The people from the Inspection Office suddenly entered Qingxiu Garden at midnight last night, especially this Zhang Huayong, who was even more daring, and took him away directly under the eyes of Master Qiu Shishui. It can be seen that the power of the Inspection Office is indeed invincible in Xicheng. .

Zhang Huayong sat behind the long table, the dim yellow lamp shone in front of him, but he was hidden in the shadow behind the lamp, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Just watching him put the file on the long table, his slender index finger gently tapped the title page of the file, not too fast, Wu Shengjie's heart beat like a drum.

After a while, Zhang Huayong asked leisurely, "You have been in Xicheng for four years, but you don't know that "Hanxiancao" is unique to Tianzhu Peak? "

"This..." Wu Shengjie didn't know how to answer, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.It would be too false to say that he didn't know.

"Hmph." Zhang Huayong smiled softly, and said, "You know it. Of course you also know that that person is from Tianzhu Peak. But, it's nothing, at most it's just a little bit of cheapness. What's more, it's just He is a disciple on Tianzhu Peak, so he may not necessarily have something to do with Nancheng cultivators. As Brother Gu said, we can't kill him with a single blow, right?"

What Zhang Huayong said, the eighteen bends of the mountain road, made Wu Shengjie a little uncertain about his attitude.Hearing what he means, does he intend to pursue this matter?

Wu Shengjie raised his head, and stared blankly at the person in the shadow with a pair of black eyes: "Dare to ask Director Zhang, you are talking about Senior Brother Gu, but Chief Gu Baitang Gu of the Law Enforcement Palace?"

"Otherwise, do you think there is any Senior Brother Gu in this entire West City?" Zhang Huayong sat up with a smile, his body leaned forward, and the light reflected his smile pale and strangely: "I almost forgot that you were in Qingxiu Garden." On duty, you should see him often, right? He goes to Qingxiu Garden to pay respects to Elder Qiu every month, doesn’t he?”

"Yes." Wu Shengjie nodded honestly.

Zhang Huayong narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "Then, what does Senior Brother Gu do every time he goes to Qingxiu Garden? What do he and Elder Qiu talk about? Hehe, don't mind, I just admire Senior Brother Gu for a long time, I want to know Something more about him, something closer to him."

The words added at the end are superfluous. Who in the whole West City doesn't know that Zhang Huayong has always been tit-for-tat against Gu Baitang.

As a disciple of Qiu Shaoshui, Wu Shengjie is naturally aware of this.Now he finally understands Zhang Huayong's attitude, and wants to open Gu Baitang's mouth from him.

Knowing this, Wu Shengjie calmed down a bit, and said honestly, "Senior Brother Gu comes to Qingxiu Garden in the middle and late ten days of every month, and every time he comes, he does the same thing: first, he makes a pot of tea himself, Then I played chess with my master. Every time I watched them play chess, I was the most anxious. I have never seen two people with such poor skills play such a bad game of chess. I can’t figure it out, Senior Brother Gu is poor at chess Maybe it’s understandable, after all, he’s a big bastard, and he only knows how to practice martial arts and arrest people all day long. But his master is over 400 years old, and he’s still the teacher of Bodhidharma Hall. A common problem in their family? Don't tell me, is it true that the family does not join the family, the uncle and nephew are so stupid together..."

"Junior Brother Wu." Zhang Huayong interrupted him impatiently, forcing out an ugly smile: "Aside from making tea and playing chess, what else would they do? What would they talk about?"

"You ask me what they usually talk about, and this is even more annoying. Because they don't talk at all!" Wu Shengjie said vividly, "The two of them are more bored than the other, and I am usually the one to mediate the atmosphere. If I don't urge They went out for a walk, and the two of them could play a game of lazy chess from morning to night. They didn't do anything in Qingxiu Garden, they just played chess."

"Then if they go out for a walk, where do they usually go?" Zhang Huayong asked.

"You should know this better than me." Wu Shengjie opened his mouth and said, he immediately paused, and said again: "I mean, Elder Qiu Shishui and Senior Brother Gu Baitang only go to one place when they go out, which is The Demon Lock Palace. Everyone knows this, and you should know it too."

Zhang Huayong nodded.A felon named Gao Mianliu was imprisoned in Suomo Palace, who was imprisoned by Qiu Shishui himself.Qiu Shaoshui and Gao Mianliu are cousins, and this is something that everyone in Xicheng knows.

He looked at Wu Shengjie suspiciously again, "Aside from going to Suomo Palace to see Gao Mianliu, will they not go anywhere else?"

"In other places, there is probably only Avonzhai. The elder Yusu of Avonzhai is brother Gu's master. Everyone knows that." Wu Shengjie said.

It's not surprising that Qiu Shishui sometimes goes to Avonzhai to visit Yujuku with Gu Baitang.

Zhang Huayong stared at Wu Shengjie, and asked softly, "Has Gu Baitang mentioned to Qiu Shishui that he often goes to Cong Yunfeng alone at night?"

Wu Shengjie thought for a while, "Cong Yunfeng? He mentioned that he was going to practice."

Zhang Huayong asked: "Go in late at night and come out with three poles the next day. What kind of practice is this?"

Wu Shengjie shook his head, "I don't know about that."

Zhang Huayong was persuasive: "Elder Qiu doesn't have any opinion about Gu Baitang going to Cong Yunfeng to practice?"

Wu Shengjie said: "I only remember one time Master praised him for his diligence and asked him to keep it up."

It seems that this Wu Shengjie has nothing to ask, Zhang Huayong frowned and thought to himself.

"Director Zhang, may I go?" Wu Shengjie asked cautiously.

Zhang Huayong waved his hand impatiently.As soon as Wu Shengjie walked out of the door of the interrogation room, a disciple immediately went in and whispered to Zhang Huayong, "Brother, Gu Baitang and Qiu Shishui went to lock the Demon Palace again..."

Wu Shengjie at the door paused, and then quickly left Yan Mingtang.

It was evening when we returned to Qingxiu Garden, after Wu Shengjie made new tea, he went to the study to continue copying the handouts that Master will use in class tomorrow.In the past, Gu Baitang and Qiu Shuishui would return at least before dark when they went to Suomo Palace, but this time, Qiu Shuishui didn't come back alone until late at night.

"Master." Wu Shengjie replaced the hot tea and presented it to Qiu Shishui respectfully.

Qiu Yueshui's face was serious, and he didn't drink tea. He sat in his seat and meditated for a while, then suddenly got up and said, "Xiao Wu, come, follow me to a place."

Wu Shengjie didn't dare to ask where he was going, so he hurriedly picked up a lantern, and followed Qiu Shishui out of Qingxiu Garden.

It is forbidden to rush around in the city, regardless of the disciples and elders, all must walk calmly and abide by etiquette.It took about a stick of incense for the master and the apprentice to come out from the gate at the northwest corner of the Bodhidharma Hall, and there was a dense forest.Stepping on a winding stone path, I finally came to the Ancient Sword Book Pavilion.

The Ancient Sword Book Pavilion has a long history and stores some classical books or sword tools. On weekdays, only one or two disciples are on duty to clean it.

Seeing Qiu Shishui from afar, the two on-duty disciples had already been waiting outside the Ancient Sword Book Pavilion, and when the man dressed in white walked in, they saluted one after another: "Uncle Qiu."

Qiu Shishui nodded and was about to go in when he suddenly felt that the two disciples looked strange, so he stopped and asked, "Where are you two disciples?"

"Uncle Master, we are disciples of the Inspection Office of the Law Enforcement Palace." One of them replied.

Qiu Shishui frowned slightly, "Students from the Inspection Office? Aren't you busy all day? Why do you still have time to come here?"

"My uncle doesn't know. Since the last time the Shoujian Pavilion's sword was sold, the city has begun to strictly check the ancient goods. Today we are also ordered to check at the Ancient Sword Book Pavilion to see if there are any books or items missing."

Qiu Shishui nodded, "That's really hard work for you. I'm going in to check things now, is that okay?"

The two disciples panicked immediately, "It's only natural, Master please."

Qiu Shishui entered the ancient sword book pavilion, while Wu Shengjie consciously waited outside with a lantern.After a while, Qiu Shuishui came out of the attic and left with Wu Shengjie.The two disciples from the inspection office respectfully sent them off behind them.

"Master." On the way, Wu Shengjie couldn't bear it anymore, and talked about what happened at the inspection office today, and finally said: "The people in this inspection office are really hateful, especially the director Zhang, who always asks about Senior Brother Gu Things. I really suspect that he has something wrong in his heart and must be doing something bad!"

Qiu Shishui said: "You are not afraid of crooked shadows when you are upright. As long as you Senior Brother Gu has not done anything bad, you are naturally not afraid of others asking about it."

Wu Shengjie had some doubts: "But..."

Seeing him hesitating, Qiu Shishui asked, "What's the matter? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Wu Shengjie whispered: "But Senior Brother Gu runs to Congyun Peak every day, and people are spreading rumors that there is a secret road in Congyun Peak, which can lead directly to the Yunding Sect. Everyone is saying that the reason why Senior Brother Gu is so fast is because The reason for stealing into the Yunding Sect."

Qiu Shishui paused, and turned to stare at Wu Shengjie, "Cong Yunfeng has a secret way into the Yunding Sect?! I don't even know about this, where did you know?"

Wu Shengjie shook his head and waved, "Master, don't get angry. I didn't say this, but someone else said it."

"Who said that?"

"It's not just one person, it's spread by everyone. But so far, it should be just a guess, without any evidence." Wu Shengjie said, looking carefully at Qiu Shishui's expression.

Qiu Shishui frowned, he stared at Wu Shengjie, and said in a deep voice, "Say what you have to say at once."

Wu Shengjie smiled, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and approached in a low voice: "Master, I came out of Yan Mingtang today, and I paid special attention to the movements of the inspection office. I don't want to hear that they are plotting, so it turns out that the inspection office People have already reported to the elders' house that they will open the Yunding sect on a certain day and go in for inspection..." Wu Shengjie looked at his master's dumbfounded expression, and said again: "Also, the elders seem to have agreed to this matter. Saw their search warrant."

Qiu Shishui's face was serious, and he didn't say a word, as if he was reflecting on himself as an elder, why he didn't even know about this kind of thing, and asked his rookie apprentice to inform him.

At this time, Wu Shengjie whispered from the side: "Master, don't think about anything else. I think this is a top priority. You have to tell Senior Brother Gu not to go to Cong Yunfeng in the near future. That Zhang Huayong is a thief, and his eyes are always on him." Senior Brother Gu, it’s not allowed that Senior Brother Gu just entered Cong Yunfeng with his front foot, and then Zhang Huayong took a search warrant to investigate the Yunding Sect."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Qiu Shishui still didn't say a word, but his expression became obviously more dignified.

"Could it be..." Wu Shengjie paused, "Could it be that Brother Gu has gone to Cong Yunfeng again?"
