lead fades away

As soon as he entered the cave, Han Shuo asked, "Why did you come out?"

"I went to Shen Shenzhou's place, I need to find him." Qing Shi said bluntly.

"Why do you have to look for something so urgent?" Han Shuo narrowed his eyes, obviously a little upset.

"Life is at stake." As soon as Qingshi said that, Han Shuo frowned, and quickly added two more words, "Maybe."

"Are you hiding something from me again?" Han Shuo's brows did not relax because of the word "maybe".

"What's called again?!" Qing Shi pouted his mouth to refute, but immediately flattened it helplessly and innocently, "I'm not hiding it from you, it's just this matter, it's really hard to explain."

Han Shuo didn't answer, just stared at Qing Shi calmly.

Qingshi had no choice but to sigh, and told about the fact that he and Shen Chenzhou were watching Su Fang but found that Su Fang had that kind of relationship with Ximen Hao.

"Why are the disciples of the Thirteenth Chu involved again?" Han Shuo was baffled.

"I knew that if I said it, you would definitely say that I was thinking too much." Qing Shi pouted, "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, what if Ximen Hao really got involved in this matter? He But the powerful disciples under the head are not as easy to dismiss as Su Fang!"

"Have you provoked him?" Han Shuo asked.

"I'm sure I didn't, but I don't know if Shen Chenzhou has one." Qing Shi said, "This matter was aimed at him from the beginning, but because I don't like Su Fang, I stepped in to take over the matter It’s down. Now it seems that the flag has died down, but I always feel that something is wrong, especially the purpose of Su Fang’s doing this-no one will harm people for no reason, right?”

"But what does that have to do with the disciples of the Thirteenth Chu? You suspect him just because he has an affair with Su Fang?" Han Shuo frowned.

"I just need to investigate because I don't know what is the relationship, just like I asked you to investigate Shen Shenzhou. If you find out, you can solve it. If you can't find out, you can rest assured." Qing Shi said, "I didn't think this matter would have anything to do with him. What's the matter, but Su Fang came to you suddenly today, I couldn't help but think of him, and if he was really behind the scenes, Su Fang was just a pawn and a marionette... I couldn't help but be shocked."

"So you went to discuss with Shen Chenzhou?" Han Shuo didn't have much expression on his face.

Qingshi couldn't see through Han Shuo's thoughts at the moment, but he didn't want to be led by the nose by Han Shuo, so he shook his head immediately and said, "It's not a discussion, it's a reminder—if it's not Su Fang but Ximen Hao who plotted against him... then I'm afraid It’s not just a question of who doesn’t like who.”

Han Shuo fell silent.

Qingshi didn't want Han Shuo to keep asking him about Shen Chenzhou's affairs, so he asked instead, "You have had a close contact with that Su Fang today, how do you feel?"

Han Shuo looked at him and said calmly, "Easier than you."

Qing Shi laughed, why did he pick such a boring topic? Could it be that Han Shuo deliberately belittled Su Fang just to coax him?Such a delicate and handsome child, even if he is a little narrow-minded, is not annoying—especially when he is playing tricks to please himself.

Qing Shi was thinking about how to divert this topic, but Han Shuo continued, "I can never figure out your thoughts, but I can understand his thoughts at a glance."

When Han Shuo said this, it was not easy to force a turn, so he complied and replied, "Oh? What did you see?"

"Obviously, he wants to cling to me." Han Shuo said about Su Fang, but his eyes were fixed on Qingshi. "And, he is willing to pay something for it."

"Whatever he, a foundation-building cultivator with no family background or background, can give, you just say that he is willing to sleep with you." Qing Shi sneered.

Han Shuo ignored the slight sarcasm, and asked instead, "You don't like him, is it because you foresee this?"

"Foresee what? Foresee that he wants to climb into the bed?" Qingshi moved the corners of his mouth, showing a half-smile expression, "Could it be that if he is willing to sleep with you, you will accept him? Let me borrow a sentence from you, you Even if you look down on me, you shouldn't belittle yourself!"

"You believe me." A smile flashed in Han Shuo's eyes.

——I just know that saying that will make you happy.

Qing Shi squinted at Han Shuo, not wanting to quarrel with him on this matter any longer, and said directly, "Actually, I don't really care what you think of him. It's just a pretending little foundation-builder, really. It annoys me, I don't need to borrow your hand, I can clean it up myself."

"How do you clean up, tell me?" Han Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

Qing Shi was about to sneer, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat. Han Shuo's tone of voice and attitude didn't seem like he was arguing with him, but rather like urging him to deal with Su Fang. He couldn't help but frowned, and stared at Han Shuo suspiciously. "You really want me to do it?"

"Why not? As you said, it's just a pretentious foundation establishment." Han Shuo replied calmly.

"...That is also your Xiantrumen's Foundation Establishment Xiaoxiu." Qingshi began to grind his teeth, and sure enough, this bastard really wanted to provoke him to do it.

"Hehe." At this moment, Han Shuo also realized that Qingshi had seen through his thoughts, so he had to laugh twice as a perfunctory way.

Qing Shi's complexion is colder than before.Han Shuo used Su Fang to make him jealous, and he could cooperate as a matter of fun, but Han Shuo used Su Fang as a bait to test his depth, but he would never go along with it.He is not a naive and ignorant young man like Su Fang, who thinks that if he is favored, he has everything, and he will do anything for this favor.

Men, no, it should be said that people's feelings are the most unreliable. They never last forever and may change at any time.

Now that Han Shuo really dotes on him, even if he really cleans up Su Fang or even kills him, Han Shuo will not send him to the execution hall to confess his guilt, at most he will reprimand him lightly, and he may even smile happily and praise him for being amazing , there are means.But if one day Han Shuo stopped pampering him, what he did today would no longer be a joke but a criminal evidence, a life-killing talisman to turn Han Shuo against him.

Precisely because of this, he let Han Shuo know that Taoist She Ji had bullied him, but he never mentioned what he had done to Taoist She Ji; , but he didn’t mention at all that he killed two fellow disciples in Wuxia Wonderland; he implied that Han Shuo could kill him to avenge Wuyou Xianjun, but he didn’t admit that Wuyou’s primordial spirit was actually destroyed in his own hands.

But when his mind changed, Qingshi couldn't help but want to laugh.

——He guarded him, and he tested him.

——They all like frank and straightforward people, but they themselves are not frank and straightforward enough.

For a moment, Qing Shi felt a little sympathy for Su Fang.

——A low-level monk with no background, no matter where he is, he is like an ant who can be abandoned at any time!

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips curled up mockingly, "You are really willing!"

"If you are willing to give up, you will gain if you give up." Han Shuo got up and walked to Qingshi, and put his arms around his waist, "If you can get you if you give up him, I think it's worth it."

Qing Shi lowered his eyes and sneered.

However, Han Shuo changed his voice and continued, "Actually, if you really wanted to get rid of him so thoroughly, you wouldn't mention him to me repeatedly to draw my attention."

"Even if I want to get rid of him, I can't do it now." Qing Shi pretended to sigh.

"It's up to you." Han Shuo said immediately.

"I'm serious, I really can't touch him now." Qingshi raised his head and said, "I still want to check Ximenhao, if I touch him, wouldn't it be a shocker?"

"Then you go and investigate. I also want to see what you can find out." Han Shuo obviously didn't take this matter to heart.But it's no wonder, no matter whether Shen Chenzhou, Su Fang or Ximen Hao, they are all low-level disciples in the foundation building period, no matter how much trouble these disciples make, it will not affect the foundation of Xiantrumen.

"Since you have no objection, then I will formally take a leave of absence from you, and I won't serve you by your side for a while." Qing Shi said along the way.

Han Shuo couldn't help frowning, "Is it necessary?"

"I don't have the stalwart spiritual sense like yours, and I can see the whole sect by sitting here." Qing Shi said firmly, "I can only do it myself and run around to track it down."

"I can..." Han Shuo blurted out.

"You can't." Qing Shi raised his hand and pressed his mouth, "I'll investigate, no matter what is found or caused, it is a private grievance among us juniors, as long as seniors like you stand up and reprimand a few But if you intervene, this matter will not be guaranteed to escalate——Ximen Hao is the head disciple after all, who would think that you are just staring at Ximen Hao? People will only go to the head disciple These four words are involved!"

"Then...you should also be careful, just keep an eye on Ximen Hao, and don't provoke Shisan Chu." Han Shuo also understood the importance of it, so he could only warn him.

"Don't worry." Qing Shi smiled slightly, "Don't you want to see my skills? I'll let you take a good look."

A strange look flashed across Han Shuo's eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything more, he just tightened his arms around Qingshi, and finally hugged him completely in his arms.

Although the process was not very pleasant, Han Shuo finally passed what he was going to do, saving him the trouble of covering it up later. I am very satisfied with the result, but the next thing proved again Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life are said - Han Shuo followed his wishes, but Su Fang did not cooperate.

Qing Shi originally planned to keep an eye on Su Fang first to see how he had a private meeting with Ximen Hao, but Su Fang didn't know what kind of thoughts were moved. He went out almost every day in the first ten days, but now he shut himself in the room as a pawn. Ascetic monk, he didn't take a step out of the Elder's Hall for three consecutive days.

Qingshi couldn't wait any longer, said hello to Han Shuo, and sent a sound transmission talisman to Shen Chenzhou, then quietly left the Wuming Valley and ran to Ximen Hao to investigate.

Although Thirteen Chu is the head of the sect, he is only a Jindan cultivator after all. He can live in the main hall of Neishan, but his disciples cannot live with him in the main hall like the disciples of Elder Yuanying, but they have to live in the main hall like Wufengfeng. The master's disciples generally build their own caves within the range of the inner mountains.It is also because of this that Qingshi dared to move his ghost thoughts of coming uninvited and trespassing on the empty door.

Ximen Hao's cave was not opened in the corner of the cliff as elegantly as many monks, but a small square courtyard was built like Qingshi did in the past, but Qingshi's courtyard was very small, and there was no distinction between the front yard and the back yard. Ximen Hao This courtyard is divided into three entrances, the front and the back. The last entrance is backed by the green hills, and a medicine garden is set up next to it.

Like all the monks' caves, Ximen Hao's small courtyard has restrictions inside and outside, and it is easy to see the five layouts just by sight.One on the courtyard wall of the entire courtyard, one on each gate that enters the courtyard, and the remaining two are concentrated on the door and window of the third entrance.The few restrictions are not too strong, but they are carefully arranged, which reflects the temper of the owner of the yard from one side.

Because he avoids the head of Thirteen Chu, Qing Shi easily does not deal with people around Thirteen Chu, and Ximen Hao also only maintains nodding acquaintances, neither flattering nor offending.He has only entered this courtyard of Ximen Hao once, and that was when Ximen Hao was 30 years old. He set up a banquet in the courtyard for his disciples of the same rank. He followed Shen Chenzhou and several other disciples of the first peak. In the past, I had some food and drink.At that time, I just went to play around, stood in the outermost courtyard for a while and then left, not even entering the second courtyard.

It was noon at this time, Ximen Hao was not there, but a young man dressed as a handyman was sitting in the middle of the first courtyard having lunch.Although Qing Shi didn't pay much attention to this handyman, he didn't want to rush in rashly, so he just hid in the surrounding bushes and observed from a distance.

The handyman quickly finished his lunch, took a basket of food-like things to the second courtyard, and then returned to a side room in the front yard to meditate.Qingshi's sight was blocked by the house, so he couldn't see clearly what he was doing in the yard, but judging from the sound he heard in his ears, he should be feeding the spirit beast.Ximen Hao kept a few cheap low-level spirit beasts in the yard of the second entrance. He noticed this when he went to the banquet, but he came and went in a hurry at that time, and he didn't think about checking it carefully. I know what kind of dog it is, and I listened to it today, and it seems to be the most common dog.

After thinking about it, Qing Shi completely gave up the idea of ​​breaking into the empty door, held his breath and waited for Ximen Hao's return.

When the sun was setting, Ximen Hao finally returned to the small courtyard alone, said hello to the handyman in the front yard, and then went straight into the last room he entered, and did not open the door until the morning class the next day.

Qing Shi followed from a distance.

At the end of the day, Qingshi didn't see anything unusual.Ximen Hao is like a most standard Xianchumen disciple, he can't find a single flaw in his lectures, work, and cultivation.Interactions with fellow disciples are also extremely normal, unlike some disciples who always smile when they meet everyone, it is very obvious that he is close and distant, but no matter how he treats anyone, he does not lose the bottom line of etiquette.

After staring at him from a distance for a day, Qing Shi couldn't remember what he was going to investigate.

At first, Qingshi just wanted to confirm the relationship between Ximen Hao and Su Fang, but Su Fang didn't cooperate, so he used his strength on Ximen Hao to see if he could dig out some clues, but it turned out that Ximen Hao was actually A seamless egg, so that he, a fly, can't get in at all.

——I really don't believe it, is there anything wrong with him?

Very annoyed.

But after following for another two days, I still didn't see any problems. Instead, I was so tired that I was sleepy and exhausted. After three days without a shower, Qing Shi had to start self-reflection.Although relying on his super five senses and various secret techniques, he can stalk from an extremely long distance without being afraid of being discovered, but everyone has a time to doze off, if he keeps following like this, there is no guarantee that traces will show up at any time .

- have to change the way.

Qing Shi thought carefully about Ximen Hao's daily itinerary and habits, and quickly made up his mind, and immediately stopped following him, and turned back to Han Shuo's cave.

Qingshi went back to the cave and went straight into the stone room along the earth slope, ready to go to the bathroom inside to take a good wash, but just in time Han Shuo was meditating in the utensil room on the rock wall, so he stopped him with a snap of his fingers .

"Finally back." Han Shuo looked Qing Shi up and down a few times, "What did you find out?"

Qingshi didn't go any closer, and stood directly at the door of the utensil room, and snorted, "Brother Ximen is really a role model for our generation. If our Xianchumen conduct a moral assessment of the foundation-building disciples, brother Ximen will definitely come out on top."

"That is to say, don't continue to investigate?" A smile flashed across Han Shuo's face.

"How is it possible!" Qing Shi immediately raised his eyebrows, "I don't believe that there is such a perfect saint in this world, I will never give up if I don't expose him!"

"Since you still don't intend to give up, what are you doing running back?" Han Shuo asked.

"Take a bath and rest." Qing Shi said, "By the way, you can lend me this equipment room for a while, and I will make some small things."

"Just let me make room for you." Han Shuo said helplessly.

"It's okay for you to watch from the side." Qing Shi said, "And I have to take a shower first, and then sleep, and then I will use this equipment room - if you are okay, I can take a shower first, I haven’t touched water for three days, and I’m sick to death.”

"Go." Han Shuo waved his hand, and then said, "The handyman surnamed Ding sent you a sound transmission talisman, and I put it in your room. Go and see for yourself."

Qing Shi, who was about to turn around and walk in, immediately stopped, turned around and asked, "What was said inside?"

"I'll report to you about Su Fang leaving the valley." Han Shuo said disapprovingly.

——Su Fang went out of the valley?

Qingshi couldn't help being taken aback, he followed Ximen Hao for three days, but he never met Su Fang!

After being stunned for a while, Qingshi immediately laughed at himself again, but it was just out of the valley, which didn't explain anything at all.Although Su Fang didn't have a teacher, he certainly wouldn't be the only one in contact with Ximen Hao in the sect. What's more, going out of the valley may not necessarily be to meet anyone, but it is more likely to go to the mountain market to buy things and hang out.

"I'll go see it after I take a shower." Qing Shi stopped thinking about it, and after replying to Han Shuo, he walked towards the innermost stone room.
