Chapter 96 Trouble
Chapter 96 Trouble
Jinju?
Song Zhishu was taken aback when he heard the words, but soon came back to his senses.
Jinzhou is close to Beizhou, and it is a major place in the Zhou Dynasty. It is very prosperous, with more than one million ordinary people, and it is nearly [-] miles away from Qingzhou.
It stands to reason that the tasks received in Qingzhou should not go directly to Jinzhou, because the two places are incompatible.
However, the Wanshi Pavilion is spread all over the human race's practice world, and information is exchanged with each other.
Even if the distance is a bit far, as long as there is Wanshi Pavilion, they can receive and complete the task, so it is not difficult to understand that their goal is Jinzhou.
Song Zhishu had heard before that since the situation in Beizhou changed, demons have become more and more violent, and demons have appeared in several places.
It was Jinzhou at the beginning, so many people's eyes were focused there, and Taihao Sword Sect was no exception.
But ever since they discovered the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation, Qingzhou began to attract attention.
Now the situation here is stable, and the demon chaos has been resolved.
In order to completely eliminate the demons, the next step is to start to clean up other places, but Song Zhishu did not expect that Jinzhou still exists now, but it seems normal after thinking about it.
Unlike Qingzhou, Jinzhou belongs to the important town of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and some sects and forces cannot easily get involved.
At most, after discovering the monsters, they sent their disciples to support them.
In addition, all the major immortal sects are paying attention to Qingzhou recently.
There is nothing serious in Jinzhou, so it is natural to concentrate our forces on places where the situation is more severe.
Now Wanshi Pavilion continues to release the mission, the purpose is to completely clean up the last monsters.
"Jinzhou is a heavy city, and it is also close to Beizhou. It is indeed a good place." Song Zhishu thought about it and met his requirements for traveling thousands of miles, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go together .”
"Thank you, Mr. Song." After hearing this, Chen Jingyun couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. Being able to invite Song Zhishu on this trip is definitely a big help.
The three of Lin Cheng also looked excited. Although they can also find others, they need to get in touch, and they don't have enough trust in each other. Now that the other party joins, it is not only safer, but also saves a lot of trouble.
"I don't have anything else to do recently. You can invite me because you trust me, so you don't need to thank me."
In fact, Song Zhishu and the others had similar ideas. One was that the people in front of them deserved enough trust, and the other was that he also wanted to leave Qingzhou now, and accepting the demon mission could also gain awe-inspiring righteousness, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Qingzhou demon rebellion is the most serious, but now it has been brought under control, and the next encounters are all weak Yin demons.
In this way, there will not be too many dangers, and more energy will be spent on reading and practicing.
In addition to the destination of the task, it also meets the requirements of Zhixing.
why not?
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu looked at the few people and continued: "When are we going to leave?"
Since I agreed to the invitation, I naturally obeyed the arrangements of the few people. I just broke through not long ago, and I need time to stabilize my realm, so I don't need to worry about it for the time being.
"It should be in the next few days, and we can also prepare in advance."
Chen Jingyun thought for a while, then seemed to think of something, and added: "However, there is one thing that Mr. Song still needs to know. When you were retreating, there were some rumors in the city, saying that one of our previous missions was successful. To get rid of the demon is because the disciples of the Lieyang Sect injured the demon in advance, and we are just sitting back and enjoying the benefits."
"These rumors are very loud. Some support Mr. Song's casual cultivator and directly argue with the disciples of the sect. Because of this, the conflict between the disciples of the sect and the casual cultivator in the city is intensifying."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jingyun couldn't help frowning, even he was affected.
I don't care about it in my heart, but if I let it continue to develop, it will inevitably cause conflicts between casual cultivators in the city and sect disciples.
As for how the rumors started, Chen Jingyun also had guesses in his mind, it was nothing more than the people from the Lieyang Sect who took the lead.
But the point is, due to the intensification of rumors, it has now turned into a struggle between casual cultivators and sect disciples, if this continues, accidents will definitely happen.
"Is there such a thing? Has there been any response from the City Lord's Mansion?"
Song Zhishu frowned slightly after hearing the words. He didn't expect that a task would have such an impact. The chaos of demons was finally quelled, and now there will be troubles again. Although it has nothing to do with him, it will definitely not work if it continues like this.
Especially if there is a conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples, the casual cultivators will suffer in the end.
But he can't do much about it, even if he gets ahead, it will get darker and darker.
After all, the rumors were aimed at him, and any action would be magnified by others. From Chen Jingyun's words, Song Zhishu had already heard that all the conflicts had become grievances between casual cultivators and Zongmen disciples.
He has no identity and no strength now. It will be very troublesome to solve it. Even if there is a way, it will take time.
So I can only ask about the situation of the City Lord's Mansion. The matter happened in Qingzhou, and it should be resolved by the City Lord's Mansion.
"There is no news from the City Lord's Mansion."
Chen Jingyun shook his head, and then continued: "However, my teacher gave me a name card a few days ago. City Lord Qiu wanted to invite us into the City Lord's Mansion, saying that we should reward us for discovering the merits of the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation."
There is no relationship between these two things, but he feels that if he can tell the city lord about the situation at that time, it should be of some use. Doing something before that to resolve the conflict between Sanxiu and the disciples of the sect can be regarded as the best effort.
"Then let's go to the City Lord's Mansion today."
After Song Zhishu heard it, he said directly: "The rumors are obviously fueled by someone behind the scenes. It is difficult to do anything with our strength, but if we let it go, it will not be good to cause conflicts in the future."
His idea is similar to Chen Jingyun's, the purpose is to solve this matter, so that when the monster is gone, his own people will make trouble.
More importantly, Song Zhishu didn't want to offend some disciples of the sect because of him.
As for why Qiu Qianhe invited them to the door.
In fact, Song Zhishu also had some guesses.
"Go today?"
Chen Jingyun, Lin Cheng and the others looked at each other, and finally nodded.
Indeed, if it is to be resolved, it should be done as soon as possible without delay, not to mention that they will leave in a few days.
Immediately, everyone stopped talking.
After Song Zhishu tidied up a little, he walked out of Yunlingzhai with a few people.
Because the chaos of demons has been subsided, the streets of Qingzhou City have returned to their former prosperity. There are monks everywhere, and even all the vendors have come out. Compared with the previous coldness, it is completely two extremes.
And along the way, after seeing Song Zhishu, some casual cultivators took the initiative to talk to him and show their respect.
Some have listened to his lectures, and some regard him as a representative of casual practice.
After all, Song Zhishu is the first person who can make Zongmen disciples suffer since the appearance of demons in Qingzhou. Although it looks like nothing, casual cultivators have been suppressed too hard. Now that someone can suppress Zongmen disciples, they naturally respect him .
In fact, this is very normal, just like when Song Zhishu beat the drums to protest his grievances in Taihao Jianzong, he was recognized by most of the bottom disciples.
The two things seem to be different in size, but the reason is the same.
And he didn't directly refuse those casual cultivators who came to talk to them, but nodded in greeting.
On the contrary, some sect disciples who met on the road were all indifferent after seeing this scene.
Obviously, the contradictions between the two parties have accumulated to a certain extent.
So Song Zhishu understood that the matter had to be resolved.
Soon, everyone came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Because there was a famous post, the guard didn't say much, and went to report, Song Zhishu and others were still waiting outside.
At this moment, in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, two figures sat facing each other.
It is Wang Ping'an, Taihao Sword Sect, and Qiu Qianhe, the city lord.
The chaos of demons has been subsided. Fu Yuan, the commander of Jinyi Tianwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, left yesterday. The dean of Qingzhou Academy, Cheng Hong, and the master of Wanshi Pavilion still have their own affairs to deal with, so they didn't come.
"City Lord Qiu, the disciples of the Sword Sect have all withdrawn from the Qingyun Mountain Range, and I will return to the Sect in a few days. I will leave the follow-up matters to you."
Wang Pingan drank a cup of spiritual tea, and said with a smile, the chaos of demons can be resolved satisfactorily, he has not been busy for a while, and he will be rewarded by the sect when he returns, so he is naturally happy in his heart.
"Elder Wang, please rest assured." Qiu Qianhe smiled, the biggest crisis has been resolved, and the next step will be much easier.
It's nothing more than coordinating with the major sects, and it can't waste much effort.
But soon, he frowned, and continued: "It's just Elder Wang, I believe you have heard of some rumors in the city recently, all of which are bad remarks against Song Zhishu, and some disciples of the sect are secretly fueling the flames. As a result, the conflict with casual cultivators is getting bigger and bigger, do you want to stop it when the time comes?"
"These sects are all located in the Eastern Realm and are under the control of Taihao Sword Sect. If you come forward, this matter can be settled."
Before, Qiu Qianhe was busy with matters related to monsters, so he couldn't make a move. Now that the situation is stable, he naturally thought of it.
It's just that there are various sects in the city, and with my own identity and status, it is difficult to persuade these people.
It happened that someone from Taihao Sword Sect was here, so I wondered whether to let the other party come forward.
"The conflict between Sanxiu and Zongmen disciples has been going on for a long time, and it will not be resolved overnight. Besides, those Zongmen came here at the call of my Taihao Sword Sect. It is not good for me to come forward, so how to do it specifically, Let City Lord Qiu decide according to the situation."
Wang Ping'an just let it go and didn't care about it, as long as Song Zhishu was not harmed, then it would be fine.
As for the conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples, he didn't care at all.
Because it has nothing to do with yourself.
"That's good." Qiu Qianhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now that there are so many forces in the city, how can he solve it?
It seems that if something goes wrong, the loose cultivator will still be wronged in the end, or will he directly confront those sects?He can't do it.
"City Lord Qiu, besides saying goodbye, I am here today for another purpose." At this time, Wang Ping'an said, "I heard that a few days ago, you planned to invite Song Zhishu and others to come here to reward them for discovering Feng Tianmo in time. What about the array?"
"That's right, if they hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid this monster chaos will be even more serious."
Qiu Qianhe nodded, Song Zhishu and others definitely deserved credit for their actions, and as the city lord, he would definitely not be stingy.
Of course, he can't bring out any good things, but there must be something that should be there.
But Qiu Qianhe also has his own ideas.
That is to take this opportunity to leave a good impression on Song Zhishu's heart.
Don't look at the opponent's current cultivation base, but he understands that the future Song Zhishu has a bright future.
After all, he is a junior who is valued by both the Taihao Sword Sect and the Southern School of Confucianism. As long as there are no accidents, he will definitely have extremely high achievements.
Although he is the lord of a city and a monk at the Golden Core Realm, he has practiced for hundreds of years, and his potential has been exhausted. If there is no major opportunity, I am afraid that he will stop here in the future.
In this case, if you can make another relationship, you will naturally not hesitate.
And Song Zhishu has great potential, which is equivalent to planning for a rainy day.
There's nothing to lose anyway.
Otherwise, just to give some rewards, Qiu Qianhe can be sent to someone, why bother to invite him to the door in person?
Especially in order to make his purpose less obvious, he even found Cheng Hong on purpose.
"Well, after Song Zhishu comes, please ask City Lord Qiu to take this thing out. This is the order of my master Jianzong. You must hand it to Song Zhishu in person, but you must not let outsiders know."
As he said that, Wang Pingan took out a jade slip from his sleeve. The jade slip looked ordinary and had no special features.
It's just that there are a series of mysterious runes on it, which shows its extraordinaryness.
Did the headmaster of Taihao Sword Sect personally order it?
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe's complexion changed slightly, and he stood up straight away, and couldn't help but say, "Elder Wang, please hand over such an important thing to Zhishu Song yourself."
He knew that this jade slip must be extremely important, so he didn't want to deal with it.
In case something goes wrong, Taihao Sword Sect will blame him, and he will never be able to bear it.
"Song Zhishu still has opinions on my Jianzong. If I come forward, he will definitely not accept it, so let's trouble the Lord Qiu." Wang Pingan gave up. To Song Zhishu.
But he didn't know what was inside, but he knew that the head teacher also valued Song Zhishu and wanted to mend the relationship.
Therefore, knowing that the other party was in Qingzhou, Wang Pingan also sent a letter to the sect immediately.
Zongmen also responded.
Ask yourself to hand over the jade slip to Song Zhishu, but only if you can't give it directly.
Wang Pingan thought that he could ask Qiu Qianhe to come forward to help, so that the other party could accept it unconsciously.
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Qiu Qianhe had no choice but to agree to accept the jade slip.
Although both of them are in the Golden Core Realm, there is still a gap between them in one realm, not only in strength, but also in identity.
"Thank you, City Lord Qiu, then I will leave first." Seeing that the other party agreed, Wang Ping stood up and was about to leave.
"To the city lord."
But at this time, a guard came in, took out a name card, bowed and said: "A few people outside sent name cards, saying that they want to meet the city lord."
"It's Chen Jingyun from Qingzhou Academy."
Seeing the famous post, Qiu Qianhe immediately knew who it was, and then swept his soul and found Song Zhishu and others. His eyes lit up immediately, and he cupped his hands towards Wang Ping'an and said, "Elder Wang, how about this, you stand behind the screen, Then watch me hand over the jade slip to Song Zhishu."
At the beginning, he was still thinking about how to give Song Zhishu, and how to make Taihao Jianzong completely relieved, but he didn't expect the other party to come now.
So I thought, if I take it out in front of Wang Ping'an, there will definitely be no problems at that time.
"Alright."
Wang Pingan nodded. He could see the jade slips in Song Zhishu's hands with his own eyes, so he could return to his life after returning.
And with his own strength and cultivation base, the other party will definitely not be able to find out.
Then he didn't say anything.
He turned around and walked behind the screen, while hiding all his aura.
Qiu Qianhe asked his guards to invite him in.
Soon.
Song Zhishu and his party of five came to the lobby, facing the city lord Qiu Qianhe, they all slightly cupped their hands,
It was not the first time for Chen Jingyun and others to come to the City Lord's Mansion, but they were still shocked by the thick heaven and earth aura inside, but think about it, this is the place where the city lord practiced daily, without the support of a strong heaven and earth aura, with the opponent's cultivation base, I'm afraid It is difficult to maintain even daily practice.
"Several little friends have made great contributions to this monster chaos, so you don't have to be polite, just sit down."
When Qiu Qianhe saw a few people, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked very enthusiastic.
Of course, most of this attitude was towards Song Zhishu, and the others were just incidental. After all, they were credited with discovering the chaos of demons, but it was impossible for him, a majestic city lord, to behave like this.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
After everyone heard it, they all bowed to express their thanks, and then sat down.
"This demon chaos, it was a few friends who discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation. It can be said that they have contributed a lot. As the Qingzhou city lord, I have prepared some things, and I ask a few friends to accept them. I hope you don't refuse."
Qiu Qianhe clapped his hands, and several maids walked slowly outside the door, each holding a tray in their hands.
Above is the storage bag, but it's more refined, and obviously the contents are also good.
It's just that after Chen Jingyun saw it, he didn't act. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Song Zhishu, wanting to see his reaction.
Unconsciously.
Everyone has already regarded Song Zhishu as the leader.
"Since the city lord has spoken, we should naturally take it." Song Zhishu smiled and understood the thoughts of several people, and immediately bowed his hands slightly to the city lord Qiu. It should be, not ashamed.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
After hearing this, Lin Cheng and others also stood up and cupped their hands to express their thanks.
Qiu Qianhe nodded, and came in front of everyone at the same time, intending to personally hand things over to everyone.
This surprised Chen Jingyun and the others, and bowed to accept it, with a hint of doubt on their faces.
The other party is the lord of a city, and he would make such a gesture.
Notice.
I am just a junior in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But soon, when everyone's primordial spirit scanned the contents of the storage bag, they couldn't help showing joy.
Qiu Qianhe smiled wryly in his heart. Naturally, he had a purpose in doing this, so he didn't say much, and handed the storage bags to everyone. When he walked in front of Song Zhishu, he took out the bags from his sleeve. Put a jade slip into it, and then present the things.
It's just that this action was very fast, and no one present except Song Zhishu noticed it.
At the same time, Qiu Qianhe shook his head slightly, expressing not to ask.
"This is."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu's eyes became more suspicious.
But after seeing the other party's eyes, he bowed his hands slightly: "Thank you, Lord City Master."
"Song Xiaoyou is polite."
Qiu Qianhe smiled, then returned to his actions, motioned everyone to sit down and continued: "Now that the demon chaos has subsided, are you guys going to stay or do you have other plans?"
Of course, what he said was just out of politeness, and he didn't really care about what the other people were going to do.
The key is that Song Zhishu wants to know what the other party thinks.
If he could stay in Qingzhou for a while, Qiu Qianhe would naturally welcome him, and he could invite him to the City Lord's Mansion from time to time to get closer.
Of course, if you want to leave, you won't force yourself to stay.
"City Lord, we have already accepted a task in the Wanshi Pavilion to continue to slay demons and eliminate disasters, so we will leave in a few days." Chen Jingyun calmed down from the excitement of receiving the reward, and then said.
"Slaying demons and demons for the world, not bad."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe nodded, now besides Qingzhou, there are sporadic incidents of monsters in several other places, which really need to be dealt with.
"My lord, the few of us who are here today actually have another matter."
Song Zhishu opened his mouth at the right time, sorted out his thoughts, cupped his hands, and continued: "Recently, there have been some bad remarks about us in the city, who made them, I believe the city owner knows it well, we are nothing, the key lies in these The remarks have already caused a bad influence in the city, so I hope that the city lord can stop it a little if he can."
His tone was gentle, and he explained the matter clearly in order to attract the attention of the other party, and it was best not to turn into a fight.
As for those people who spread rumors behind the scenes, Song Zhishu knew who they were, but he didn't want to trouble them.
Because it is unnecessary, and it may become more and more troublesome.
but
If those people still don't listen to persuasion, Song Zhishu will not choose to let them go.
"This"
Qiu Qianhe frowned. If someone else spoke, he could just perfunctory, but Song Zhishu was different, so he had to take it to heart, but he couldn't do much about it, and finally sighed: "Song Xiaoyou, this matter concerns several sects. Gate, although I am the city lord, there is a limit to what I can do, I can only do my best."
Qiu Qianhe didn't want to solve what happened in the city, in order to prevent the gaffe from expanding.
But several sects were implicated in it, besides the disciples, there were also elders, although some of them were not as good as himself, but they all represented different forces.
He is only the lord of a city, and it is not very realistic to want to completely solve it.
So I can only say my best.
"Thank you, Lord City Master." Song Zhishu also knew that the other party was in a difficult situation, and the loose cultivator was fine, so talking about it made sense.
The key is that those disciples of the sect will not listen to him at all, maybe they are still waiting for themselves to come forward, and then they will completely make things big.
It seems that if you want to leave Qingzhou, then this matter must be resolved.
Song Zhishu thought, after all, it started because of himself, and the rumors were also aimed at him, so it would definitely not work if he left. Of course, it would be best if City Lord Qiu could solve it.
After that, he didn't say much, thanked Qiu Qianhe again with Chen Jingyun and others, and then got up to leave.
After all, what should be said has already been said, and the other party has also spoken, so it is useless to stay.
"Elder Wang, everything is done, and the jade slip has been handed over to Song Zhishu."
After Song Zhishu and others left, Qiu Qianhe slightly cupped his hands facing the screen.
"Thank you, City Lord Qiu."
Wang Pingan walked out from behind, and he had a panoramic view of what happened just now, and saw the jade slips being sent out with his own eyes.
"It's all what I should do." Qiu Qianhe opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment and continued: "Look at the rumors in the city, can Elder Wang come forward or something, I really can't support it alone, let alone Song Xiaoyou. .”
He didn't want to say more, but Song Zhishu mentioned it again, wondering if he could use the other party's name to make the other party pay attention.
There is nothing wrong with casual cultivators. What is difficult is the disciples of the sect. It is indeed difficult for me to do it myself.
But if the Taihao Sword Sect came forward, it would be different. It could directly suppress all the sects and let the rumors in the city stop here, then the matter could be resolved directly.
When Wang Pingan heard this, he thought for a while.
He didn't want to care about the affairs of Qingzhou City, but what the other party said was good, and Song Zhishu was involved, so he still hesitated.
"My lord, it's not good."
And at this time, a monk suddenly ran in, not the guard of the city lord's mansion, but the law enforcement team in the city. After entering the lobby, he did not dare to hesitate to speak directly: "Report to the city lord, all the disciples of the several sects in the city have gathered He said he was going to find a casual cultivator from Zhishu Song."
"what?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Qianhe's complexion changed immediately.
The situation in the city had just stabilized, but now it's happening again.
Although he had a premonition about this, he didn't expect that something would happen so soon, and the person he was looking for was Song Zhishu.
But thinking about it, it seems reasonable. There was no trouble before because there were still demons suppressing it, but now the chaos of demons has been resolved, and because of the rumors during this period, the conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples has become more and more serious , It's only a matter of time before troubles arise.
As for why the disciples of the Zongmen went to find Song Zhishu, Qiu Qianhe could also understand, after all, the other party had a high status in Sanxiu's heart recently, and he seemed to be a representative, and some people were pushing the flames
But at its root, this is the struggle between casual cultivators and sect disciples.
At that moment, Qiu Qianhe couldn't help turning his head.
"City Lord Qiu, don't worry about this matter."
Next to him, Wang Ping'an spoke, his eyes became sharper: "I will call the elders of the various sects in the city to calm this matter down."
Everyone has already found Song Zhishu, and it is impossible for him to let the matter develop. There are two reasons. Affected by some rumors, and some people come to make trouble, as the elder of Jianzong, naturally he will not sit idly by.
The second reason is that Wang Ping'an is well aware of Song Zhishu's character, he is a gentleman, but he has his own reasons and bottom line.
It usually looks like nothing, but if it touches the root, then you won't choose to endure it at all.
Just like when they were obviously just a few handyman disciples.
But Song Zhishu made a move directly, and in the end, the head teacher made a move.
In this way, the situation in Qingzhou City will be difficult to control, and more importantly, the identity of the other party may also be exposed.
Under such circumstances, Wang Pingan has already decided that it must be resolved. Of course, he will not come forward, but go directly to the elders of the various sects. After all, it is those disciples who are making trouble now.
"Okay, okay, then Elder Wang will work hard."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe's eyes lit up immediately, and he cupped his hands.
"kindness."
Wang Pingan nodded, without saying anything more, and disappeared in place as a stream of light.
Seeing this, Qiu Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
Originally, I was still thinking that if the other party didn't do anything in the end, the situation would definitely be difficult to control.
It's all right now, he didn't expect the disciples of the sect to start making a fuss, and he couldn't help but relax completely. Fortunately, these people are ignorant, and if Wang Pingan makes a move, there must be no problem.
Involuntarily, Qiu Qianhe shook his head, these sect disciples are usually arrogant, but now they have provoked Song Zhishu.
Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?
Thoughts so far.
Qiu Qianhe knew that he didn't need to worry about this matter anymore, but he still ordered someone to investigate the news and report back at any time.
Wang Ping'an moved quickly, and came directly to the Lieyangzong residence in Qingzhou City, because the rumors came from here at the beginning, and the elder Lieyangzong was shocked when he saw the person coming, and hurried out to greet him.
Seeing this, Wang Pingan didn't explode directly, but asked the other party to notify all the sect elders in Qingzhou City to come.
Although Lie Yangzong was full of doubts about this, he did not dare to neglect and chose to obey.
Because the major sects are very close to each other.
That's why it's only a stick of incense, everyone has arrived, but everyone doesn't know what's going on.
At this moment, in the main hall of Lie Yangzong's residence.
Dozens of figures gathered, these people had strong auras, and each of them exuded a glow. There were old people, middle-aged people, and women, a total of 19 people, all of whom were elders of Qingzhou City sent by various sects. It is different from the early stage of Golden Core.
The leader was Wang Ping'an. At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly and did not speak, making the atmosphere in the lobby a bit heavy.
"The elders of the eighteen sects in Qingzhou City have all arrived. I don't know why Elder Wang summoned us?"
One of the old men spoke, his figure was a bit hunched, but his eyes were bright, and he exuded a fiery aura. This man was the elder of the Lieyang Sect.
The other 17 people also cast their gazes one after another, their faces were full of doubts, they didn't know what the Elder Wang of Taihao Sword Sect was calling them for.
But they didn't dare to have an opinion, because all the sects present were located in the Eastern Realm, and they all respected Taihao Sword Sect.
Even though Wang Ping'an's status in the Sword Sect is not very high, he is already a big shot to everyone.
It is the double gap between cultivation base and identity.
Not to mention these people present.
Even if their suzerain comes, they must treat each other with courtesy and dare not offend.
Soon, Wang Ping'an opened his eyes and looked around. The elders of the various sects who made eye contact with him lowered their heads slightly. Seeing this, he slowly said: "I heard that the disciples of these sects are making trouble in the city. , looking for trouble with casual cultivators?"
His voice was very soft, not in a hurry, without any emotion in it.
When the elders heard the words, they immediately looked at each other, their eyes couldn't help showing doubts again, as if they didn't understand.
In fact, everyone present knew about this matter, but they didn't stop it. What's wrong with finding casual cultivators?It's not a big deal.
All the elders didn't understand, and they didn't know how to reply. In the end, the elder of Lie Yangzong walked out and cupped his hands: "Elder Wang Hui, it's like this. Is there any problem?"
"what is the problem?"
Wang Ping'an's eyes changed slightly, and his tone was also slightly heavy: "Now that the chaos of monsters has just been subsided, the situation has not been completely stabilized, but the disciples below you are disregarding the overall situation and starting to cause trouble. What's the problem?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the elder of Lieyang Sect changed slightly, but he calmed down quickly, and continued: "Elder Wang, there have always been conflicts between our sect disciples and casual cultivators, which you also know, and the recent paragraph Over time, these casual cultivators are really dancing too much, and it's okay to teach them a lesson, after all, they are just some casual cultivators, if they are not restrained, I don't know what troubles will be caused in the future."
In his eyes, casual cultivators are inherently inferior, so there is nothing wrong with his disciples looking for trouble.
So what if there is a problem?As long as nothing happens, it's fine.
So he doesn't understand.
As the other party, how could he pay attention to such a trivial matter.
"I know what you're thinking."
Wang Pingan chuckled: "Don't think I don't know, where did the rumor about Song Zhishu come from, framing casual cultivators, bullying others, and now you are going to make trouble directly, is this what you are doing?"
"To tell you the truth, Song Zhishu is a member of my Taihao Jianzong, and he is a person who is valued by the headmaster of my Jianzong. After saying this, what to do, you understand in your heart, if this matter is not resolved, I will come to you next time. Yes, it’s not me, old man.”
This sentence directly revealed Song Zhishu's identity, and the reason was that he wanted to let the sect elders present know the seriousness of the matter.
If it is about other people and doubts about other forces, Wang Ping'an will naturally be cautious and will not speak out.
But these people in front of them are completely different, and the sects behind them all look up to Taihao Sword Sect.
So what if Song Zhishu's identity is revealed?
He also has the ability to make everyone shut up, not daring to reveal half of it.
Someone from Taihao Sword Sect?
Song Zhishu?
All present are elders from various sects, who have practiced for many years, who is not an old fox?
So I understood the meaning almost instantly.
Who can be so valued by the other party, and who is still called Song Zhishu?
It turned out to be the case.
for a while.
Everyone was cold and realized that they had kicked the iron plate.
No wonder Wang Pingan had such a big reaction and would personally come to ask about this kind of thing.
No wonder everyone is like this. In today's world, there are too many monks with the same name.
At this moment, they only knew that Song Zhishu should not be messed with no matter what, and if something happened, it would definitely be a big deal.
Behind this person, not only Taihao Sword Sect, but also Southern Confucianism
"I understand that we will call everyone back now." The elders of Lieyangzong trembled a little. Song Zhishu is fine, but the key is that Wang Ping'an's words are too scary.
The elders of the other seventeen sects also realized the problem and stood up one by one.
Now they all have only one thought in mind, that is to immediately recall all the troublesome disciples under them.
Otherwise, if something happened, Taihao Sword Sect would definitely get angry.
"It's not as simple as just being called back."
Wang Pingan looked at the elder of the Lieyang Sect, and said in a flat voice, "And those disciples under you, who are the ones who started it, don't look down on casual cultivators? Then let them have a taste of casual cultivators."
In a word, the opponent directly deprived those people of their status as sect disciples.
Wang Ping'an's idea is very simple. Protecting Song Zhishu is one aspect, but the actions of Liu Yuan and others really made him feel sick.
Such a person has to be taught a lesson.
"Yes, definitely."
The elder of Lieyang Sect nodded immediately, not daring to make any rebuttals.
After all, if the other party hadn't come, the matter would have become a big mess, and the entire Lieyang Sect would be implicated.
"very good."
At this moment, Wang Ping'an stood up, looked at everyone present, and said solemnly: "Also, you can't mention today's matter to anyone, especially about Song Zhishu's identity, otherwise I will find out in the future, and everyone present, If you can’t escape, well, let’s all go.”
The major sects that should not be provoked in the eyes of casual cultivators are nothing in front of the elders of Taihao Sword Sect.
And he also believed that with his own words, everyone present must know what to do.
At the same time, Wang Ping'an was also fortunate.
This time, the sects that entered Qingzhou City belonged to the Eastern Realm and were controlled by the Taihao Sword Sect. If they were replaced by other sects, it would be difficult.
Of course, his thinking is also very simple. With Song Zhishu's ability, it will only be a matter of time before his identity is exposed.
But at least in a short period of time, it will not be discovered by outsiders.
Especially during these days in Qingzhou City.
"Yes, I'll wait to understand."
All the elders of the sect bowed quickly, and then turned into streamers one by one, and left the Lie Yangzong residence.
Now they just want to arrive as soon as possible, and stop the matter before it becomes a complete mess.
Especially the elders of Lie Yangzong.
I have already scolded Liu Yuan and others thousands of times in my heart, okay, why did I provoke Song Zhishu?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more afraid he became, the angrier he became.
As for Wang Pingan, he didn't stop there too much.
What he should do has been done, now it's time to return to Zongmen, as for the things in Qingzhou City, I believe those Zongmen elders will definitely do a good job and will not let him down.
at the same time.
After Song Zhishu and the others left the City Lord's Mansion, they did not return to Yunlingzhai immediately.
Instead, he was wandering on the road. After all, he was leaving in a few days, and he didn't know when he would be back.
Especially the three of Lin Cheng, who have lived in Qingzhou for several years, have a sense of nostalgia, so the pace of the group of five people is not very fast.
Song Zhishu looked at the bustling streets that had returned to the past, and felt a little emotional in his heart. Sure enough, there are no disasters and no difficulties. No matter monks or mortals, they don't have to worry about their lives all the time.
It's a pity, how long can this kind of life last?
The plague of demons has come out.
After sixty years, when the sage's methods fail, the troubled times will affect everyone.
I don't know how many people will die at that time
Thinking of this, Song Zhishu's desire to become stronger became stronger.
Before the chaos comes, I must not only have the means to protect myself, but also have the ability to do more, even if it is only a little. This is not compassion, but just wanting to follow my heart and protect that conscience.
"Yunlingzhai is ahead, so I'll take my leave first."
Chen Jingyun opened his mouth and didn't intend to go in. After all, the academy still has some things to deal with.
But when he was about to turn his head, he suddenly noticed something was wrong in the distance, frowned and said, "Huh? Why are there so many people in front?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Zhishu and others couldn't help casting their eyes.
I saw a large group of people gathered on the street towards Yunlingzhai not far away, including casual cultivators and sect disciples, and it seemed that it wasn't just one sect, all of them couldn't help but look at each other for a while glance.
problem occurs?
(End of this chapter)
Jinju?
Song Zhishu was taken aback when he heard the words, but soon came back to his senses.
Jinzhou is close to Beizhou, and it is a major place in the Zhou Dynasty. It is very prosperous, with more than one million ordinary people, and it is nearly [-] miles away from Qingzhou.
It stands to reason that the tasks received in Qingzhou should not go directly to Jinzhou, because the two places are incompatible.
However, the Wanshi Pavilion is spread all over the human race's practice world, and information is exchanged with each other.
Even if the distance is a bit far, as long as there is Wanshi Pavilion, they can receive and complete the task, so it is not difficult to understand that their goal is Jinzhou.
Song Zhishu had heard before that since the situation in Beizhou changed, demons have become more and more violent, and demons have appeared in several places.
It was Jinzhou at the beginning, so many people's eyes were focused there, and Taihao Sword Sect was no exception.
But ever since they discovered the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation, Qingzhou began to attract attention.
Now the situation here is stable, and the demon chaos has been resolved.
In order to completely eliminate the demons, the next step is to start to clean up other places, but Song Zhishu did not expect that Jinzhou still exists now, but it seems normal after thinking about it.
Unlike Qingzhou, Jinzhou belongs to the important town of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and some sects and forces cannot easily get involved.
At most, after discovering the monsters, they sent their disciples to support them.
In addition, all the major immortal sects are paying attention to Qingzhou recently.
There is nothing serious in Jinzhou, so it is natural to concentrate our forces on places where the situation is more severe.
Now Wanshi Pavilion continues to release the mission, the purpose is to completely clean up the last monsters.
"Jinzhou is a heavy city, and it is also close to Beizhou. It is indeed a good place." Song Zhishu thought about it and met his requirements for traveling thousands of miles, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go together .”
"Thank you, Mr. Song." After hearing this, Chen Jingyun couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. Being able to invite Song Zhishu on this trip is definitely a big help.
The three of Lin Cheng also looked excited. Although they can also find others, they need to get in touch, and they don't have enough trust in each other. Now that the other party joins, it is not only safer, but also saves a lot of trouble.
"I don't have anything else to do recently. You can invite me because you trust me, so you don't need to thank me."
In fact, Song Zhishu and the others had similar ideas. One was that the people in front of them deserved enough trust, and the other was that he also wanted to leave Qingzhou now, and accepting the demon mission could also gain awe-inspiring righteousness, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Qingzhou demon rebellion is the most serious, but now it has been brought under control, and the next encounters are all weak Yin demons.
In this way, there will not be too many dangers, and more energy will be spent on reading and practicing.
In addition to the destination of the task, it also meets the requirements of Zhixing.
why not?
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu looked at the few people and continued: "When are we going to leave?"
Since I agreed to the invitation, I naturally obeyed the arrangements of the few people. I just broke through not long ago, and I need time to stabilize my realm, so I don't need to worry about it for the time being.
"It should be in the next few days, and we can also prepare in advance."
Chen Jingyun thought for a while, then seemed to think of something, and added: "However, there is one thing that Mr. Song still needs to know. When you were retreating, there were some rumors in the city, saying that one of our previous missions was successful. To get rid of the demon is because the disciples of the Lieyang Sect injured the demon in advance, and we are just sitting back and enjoying the benefits."
"These rumors are very loud. Some support Mr. Song's casual cultivator and directly argue with the disciples of the sect. Because of this, the conflict between the disciples of the sect and the casual cultivator in the city is intensifying."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jingyun couldn't help frowning, even he was affected.
I don't care about it in my heart, but if I let it continue to develop, it will inevitably cause conflicts between casual cultivators in the city and sect disciples.
As for how the rumors started, Chen Jingyun also had guesses in his mind, it was nothing more than the people from the Lieyang Sect who took the lead.
But the point is, due to the intensification of rumors, it has now turned into a struggle between casual cultivators and sect disciples, if this continues, accidents will definitely happen.
"Is there such a thing? Has there been any response from the City Lord's Mansion?"
Song Zhishu frowned slightly after hearing the words. He didn't expect that a task would have such an impact. The chaos of demons was finally quelled, and now there will be troubles again. Although it has nothing to do with him, it will definitely not work if it continues like this.
Especially if there is a conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples, the casual cultivators will suffer in the end.
But he can't do much about it, even if he gets ahead, it will get darker and darker.
After all, the rumors were aimed at him, and any action would be magnified by others. From Chen Jingyun's words, Song Zhishu had already heard that all the conflicts had become grievances between casual cultivators and Zongmen disciples.
He has no identity and no strength now. It will be very troublesome to solve it. Even if there is a way, it will take time.
So I can only ask about the situation of the City Lord's Mansion. The matter happened in Qingzhou, and it should be resolved by the City Lord's Mansion.
"There is no news from the City Lord's Mansion."
Chen Jingyun shook his head, and then continued: "However, my teacher gave me a name card a few days ago. City Lord Qiu wanted to invite us into the City Lord's Mansion, saying that we should reward us for discovering the merits of the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation."
There is no relationship between these two things, but he feels that if he can tell the city lord about the situation at that time, it should be of some use. Doing something before that to resolve the conflict between Sanxiu and the disciples of the sect can be regarded as the best effort.
"Then let's go to the City Lord's Mansion today."
After Song Zhishu heard it, he said directly: "The rumors are obviously fueled by someone behind the scenes. It is difficult to do anything with our strength, but if we let it go, it will not be good to cause conflicts in the future."
His idea is similar to Chen Jingyun's, the purpose is to solve this matter, so that when the monster is gone, his own people will make trouble.
More importantly, Song Zhishu didn't want to offend some disciples of the sect because of him.
As for why Qiu Qianhe invited them to the door.
In fact, Song Zhishu also had some guesses.
"Go today?"
Chen Jingyun, Lin Cheng and the others looked at each other, and finally nodded.
Indeed, if it is to be resolved, it should be done as soon as possible without delay, not to mention that they will leave in a few days.
Immediately, everyone stopped talking.
After Song Zhishu tidied up a little, he walked out of Yunlingzhai with a few people.
Because the chaos of demons has been subsided, the streets of Qingzhou City have returned to their former prosperity. There are monks everywhere, and even all the vendors have come out. Compared with the previous coldness, it is completely two extremes.
And along the way, after seeing Song Zhishu, some casual cultivators took the initiative to talk to him and show their respect.
Some have listened to his lectures, and some regard him as a representative of casual practice.
After all, Song Zhishu is the first person who can make Zongmen disciples suffer since the appearance of demons in Qingzhou. Although it looks like nothing, casual cultivators have been suppressed too hard. Now that someone can suppress Zongmen disciples, they naturally respect him .
In fact, this is very normal, just like when Song Zhishu beat the drums to protest his grievances in Taihao Jianzong, he was recognized by most of the bottom disciples.
The two things seem to be different in size, but the reason is the same.
And he didn't directly refuse those casual cultivators who came to talk to them, but nodded in greeting.
On the contrary, some sect disciples who met on the road were all indifferent after seeing this scene.
Obviously, the contradictions between the two parties have accumulated to a certain extent.
So Song Zhishu understood that the matter had to be resolved.
Soon, everyone came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Because there was a famous post, the guard didn't say much, and went to report, Song Zhishu and others were still waiting outside.
At this moment, in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, two figures sat facing each other.
It is Wang Ping'an, Taihao Sword Sect, and Qiu Qianhe, the city lord.
The chaos of demons has been subsided. Fu Yuan, the commander of Jinyi Tianwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, left yesterday. The dean of Qingzhou Academy, Cheng Hong, and the master of Wanshi Pavilion still have their own affairs to deal with, so they didn't come.
"City Lord Qiu, the disciples of the Sword Sect have all withdrawn from the Qingyun Mountain Range, and I will return to the Sect in a few days. I will leave the follow-up matters to you."
Wang Pingan drank a cup of spiritual tea, and said with a smile, the chaos of demons can be resolved satisfactorily, he has not been busy for a while, and he will be rewarded by the sect when he returns, so he is naturally happy in his heart.
"Elder Wang, please rest assured." Qiu Qianhe smiled, the biggest crisis has been resolved, and the next step will be much easier.
It's nothing more than coordinating with the major sects, and it can't waste much effort.
But soon, he frowned, and continued: "It's just Elder Wang, I believe you have heard of some rumors in the city recently, all of which are bad remarks against Song Zhishu, and some disciples of the sect are secretly fueling the flames. As a result, the conflict with casual cultivators is getting bigger and bigger, do you want to stop it when the time comes?"
"These sects are all located in the Eastern Realm and are under the control of Taihao Sword Sect. If you come forward, this matter can be settled."
Before, Qiu Qianhe was busy with matters related to monsters, so he couldn't make a move. Now that the situation is stable, he naturally thought of it.
It's just that there are various sects in the city, and with my own identity and status, it is difficult to persuade these people.
It happened that someone from Taihao Sword Sect was here, so I wondered whether to let the other party come forward.
"The conflict between Sanxiu and Zongmen disciples has been going on for a long time, and it will not be resolved overnight. Besides, those Zongmen came here at the call of my Taihao Sword Sect. It is not good for me to come forward, so how to do it specifically, Let City Lord Qiu decide according to the situation."
Wang Ping'an just let it go and didn't care about it, as long as Song Zhishu was not harmed, then it would be fine.
As for the conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples, he didn't care at all.
Because it has nothing to do with yourself.
"That's good." Qiu Qianhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now that there are so many forces in the city, how can he solve it?
It seems that if something goes wrong, the loose cultivator will still be wronged in the end, or will he directly confront those sects?He can't do it.
"City Lord Qiu, besides saying goodbye, I am here today for another purpose." At this time, Wang Ping'an said, "I heard that a few days ago, you planned to invite Song Zhishu and others to come here to reward them for discovering Feng Tianmo in time. What about the array?"
"That's right, if they hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid this monster chaos will be even more serious."
Qiu Qianhe nodded, Song Zhishu and others definitely deserved credit for their actions, and as the city lord, he would definitely not be stingy.
Of course, he can't bring out any good things, but there must be something that should be there.
But Qiu Qianhe also has his own ideas.
That is to take this opportunity to leave a good impression on Song Zhishu's heart.
Don't look at the opponent's current cultivation base, but he understands that the future Song Zhishu has a bright future.
After all, he is a junior who is valued by both the Taihao Sword Sect and the Southern School of Confucianism. As long as there are no accidents, he will definitely have extremely high achievements.
Although he is the lord of a city and a monk at the Golden Core Realm, he has practiced for hundreds of years, and his potential has been exhausted. If there is no major opportunity, I am afraid that he will stop here in the future.
In this case, if you can make another relationship, you will naturally not hesitate.
And Song Zhishu has great potential, which is equivalent to planning for a rainy day.
There's nothing to lose anyway.
Otherwise, just to give some rewards, Qiu Qianhe can be sent to someone, why bother to invite him to the door in person?
Especially in order to make his purpose less obvious, he even found Cheng Hong on purpose.
"Well, after Song Zhishu comes, please ask City Lord Qiu to take this thing out. This is the order of my master Jianzong. You must hand it to Song Zhishu in person, but you must not let outsiders know."
As he said that, Wang Pingan took out a jade slip from his sleeve. The jade slip looked ordinary and had no special features.
It's just that there are a series of mysterious runes on it, which shows its extraordinaryness.
Did the headmaster of Taihao Sword Sect personally order it?
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe's complexion changed slightly, and he stood up straight away, and couldn't help but say, "Elder Wang, please hand over such an important thing to Zhishu Song yourself."
He knew that this jade slip must be extremely important, so he didn't want to deal with it.
In case something goes wrong, Taihao Sword Sect will blame him, and he will never be able to bear it.
"Song Zhishu still has opinions on my Jianzong. If I come forward, he will definitely not accept it, so let's trouble the Lord Qiu." Wang Pingan gave up. To Song Zhishu.
But he didn't know what was inside, but he knew that the head teacher also valued Song Zhishu and wanted to mend the relationship.
Therefore, knowing that the other party was in Qingzhou, Wang Pingan also sent a letter to the sect immediately.
Zongmen also responded.
Ask yourself to hand over the jade slip to Song Zhishu, but only if you can't give it directly.
Wang Pingan thought that he could ask Qiu Qianhe to come forward to help, so that the other party could accept it unconsciously.
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Qiu Qianhe had no choice but to agree to accept the jade slip.
Although both of them are in the Golden Core Realm, there is still a gap between them in one realm, not only in strength, but also in identity.
"Thank you, City Lord Qiu, then I will leave first." Seeing that the other party agreed, Wang Ping stood up and was about to leave.
"To the city lord."
But at this time, a guard came in, took out a name card, bowed and said: "A few people outside sent name cards, saying that they want to meet the city lord."
"It's Chen Jingyun from Qingzhou Academy."
Seeing the famous post, Qiu Qianhe immediately knew who it was, and then swept his soul and found Song Zhishu and others. His eyes lit up immediately, and he cupped his hands towards Wang Ping'an and said, "Elder Wang, how about this, you stand behind the screen, Then watch me hand over the jade slip to Song Zhishu."
At the beginning, he was still thinking about how to give Song Zhishu, and how to make Taihao Jianzong completely relieved, but he didn't expect the other party to come now.
So I thought, if I take it out in front of Wang Ping'an, there will definitely be no problems at that time.
"Alright."
Wang Pingan nodded. He could see the jade slips in Song Zhishu's hands with his own eyes, so he could return to his life after returning.
And with his own strength and cultivation base, the other party will definitely not be able to find out.
Then he didn't say anything.
He turned around and walked behind the screen, while hiding all his aura.
Qiu Qianhe asked his guards to invite him in.
Soon.
Song Zhishu and his party of five came to the lobby, facing the city lord Qiu Qianhe, they all slightly cupped their hands,
It was not the first time for Chen Jingyun and others to come to the City Lord's Mansion, but they were still shocked by the thick heaven and earth aura inside, but think about it, this is the place where the city lord practiced daily, without the support of a strong heaven and earth aura, with the opponent's cultivation base, I'm afraid It is difficult to maintain even daily practice.
"Several little friends have made great contributions to this monster chaos, so you don't have to be polite, just sit down."
When Qiu Qianhe saw a few people, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked very enthusiastic.
Of course, most of this attitude was towards Song Zhishu, and the others were just incidental. After all, they were credited with discovering the chaos of demons, but it was impossible for him, a majestic city lord, to behave like this.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
After everyone heard it, they all bowed to express their thanks, and then sat down.
"This demon chaos, it was a few friends who discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation. It can be said that they have contributed a lot. As the Qingzhou city lord, I have prepared some things, and I ask a few friends to accept them. I hope you don't refuse."
Qiu Qianhe clapped his hands, and several maids walked slowly outside the door, each holding a tray in their hands.
Above is the storage bag, but it's more refined, and obviously the contents are also good.
It's just that after Chen Jingyun saw it, he didn't act. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Song Zhishu, wanting to see his reaction.
Unconsciously.
Everyone has already regarded Song Zhishu as the leader.
"Since the city lord has spoken, we should naturally take it." Song Zhishu smiled and understood the thoughts of several people, and immediately bowed his hands slightly to the city lord Qiu. It should be, not ashamed.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
After hearing this, Lin Cheng and others also stood up and cupped their hands to express their thanks.
Qiu Qianhe nodded, and came in front of everyone at the same time, intending to personally hand things over to everyone.
This surprised Chen Jingyun and the others, and bowed to accept it, with a hint of doubt on their faces.
The other party is the lord of a city, and he would make such a gesture.
Notice.
I am just a junior in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But soon, when everyone's primordial spirit scanned the contents of the storage bag, they couldn't help showing joy.
Qiu Qianhe smiled wryly in his heart. Naturally, he had a purpose in doing this, so he didn't say much, and handed the storage bags to everyone. When he walked in front of Song Zhishu, he took out the bags from his sleeve. Put a jade slip into it, and then present the things.
It's just that this action was very fast, and no one present except Song Zhishu noticed it.
At the same time, Qiu Qianhe shook his head slightly, expressing not to ask.
"This is."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu's eyes became more suspicious.
But after seeing the other party's eyes, he bowed his hands slightly: "Thank you, Lord City Master."
"Song Xiaoyou is polite."
Qiu Qianhe smiled, then returned to his actions, motioned everyone to sit down and continued: "Now that the demon chaos has subsided, are you guys going to stay or do you have other plans?"
Of course, what he said was just out of politeness, and he didn't really care about what the other people were going to do.
The key is that Song Zhishu wants to know what the other party thinks.
If he could stay in Qingzhou for a while, Qiu Qianhe would naturally welcome him, and he could invite him to the City Lord's Mansion from time to time to get closer.
Of course, if you want to leave, you won't force yourself to stay.
"City Lord, we have already accepted a task in the Wanshi Pavilion to continue to slay demons and eliminate disasters, so we will leave in a few days." Chen Jingyun calmed down from the excitement of receiving the reward, and then said.
"Slaying demons and demons for the world, not bad."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe nodded, now besides Qingzhou, there are sporadic incidents of monsters in several other places, which really need to be dealt with.
"My lord, the few of us who are here today actually have another matter."
Song Zhishu opened his mouth at the right time, sorted out his thoughts, cupped his hands, and continued: "Recently, there have been some bad remarks about us in the city, who made them, I believe the city owner knows it well, we are nothing, the key lies in these The remarks have already caused a bad influence in the city, so I hope that the city lord can stop it a little if he can."
His tone was gentle, and he explained the matter clearly in order to attract the attention of the other party, and it was best not to turn into a fight.
As for those people who spread rumors behind the scenes, Song Zhishu knew who they were, but he didn't want to trouble them.
Because it is unnecessary, and it may become more and more troublesome.
but
If those people still don't listen to persuasion, Song Zhishu will not choose to let them go.
"This"
Qiu Qianhe frowned. If someone else spoke, he could just perfunctory, but Song Zhishu was different, so he had to take it to heart, but he couldn't do much about it, and finally sighed: "Song Xiaoyou, this matter concerns several sects. Gate, although I am the city lord, there is a limit to what I can do, I can only do my best."
Qiu Qianhe didn't want to solve what happened in the city, in order to prevent the gaffe from expanding.
But several sects were implicated in it, besides the disciples, there were also elders, although some of them were not as good as himself, but they all represented different forces.
He is only the lord of a city, and it is not very realistic to want to completely solve it.
So I can only say my best.
"Thank you, Lord City Master." Song Zhishu also knew that the other party was in a difficult situation, and the loose cultivator was fine, so talking about it made sense.
The key is that those disciples of the sect will not listen to him at all, maybe they are still waiting for themselves to come forward, and then they will completely make things big.
It seems that if you want to leave Qingzhou, then this matter must be resolved.
Song Zhishu thought, after all, it started because of himself, and the rumors were also aimed at him, so it would definitely not work if he left. Of course, it would be best if City Lord Qiu could solve it.
After that, he didn't say much, thanked Qiu Qianhe again with Chen Jingyun and others, and then got up to leave.
After all, what should be said has already been said, and the other party has also spoken, so it is useless to stay.
"Elder Wang, everything is done, and the jade slip has been handed over to Song Zhishu."
After Song Zhishu and others left, Qiu Qianhe slightly cupped his hands facing the screen.
"Thank you, City Lord Qiu."
Wang Pingan walked out from behind, and he had a panoramic view of what happened just now, and saw the jade slips being sent out with his own eyes.
"It's all what I should do." Qiu Qianhe opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment and continued: "Look at the rumors in the city, can Elder Wang come forward or something, I really can't support it alone, let alone Song Xiaoyou. .”
He didn't want to say more, but Song Zhishu mentioned it again, wondering if he could use the other party's name to make the other party pay attention.
There is nothing wrong with casual cultivators. What is difficult is the disciples of the sect. It is indeed difficult for me to do it myself.
But if the Taihao Sword Sect came forward, it would be different. It could directly suppress all the sects and let the rumors in the city stop here, then the matter could be resolved directly.
When Wang Pingan heard this, he thought for a while.
He didn't want to care about the affairs of Qingzhou City, but what the other party said was good, and Song Zhishu was involved, so he still hesitated.
"My lord, it's not good."
And at this time, a monk suddenly ran in, not the guard of the city lord's mansion, but the law enforcement team in the city. After entering the lobby, he did not dare to hesitate to speak directly: "Report to the city lord, all the disciples of the several sects in the city have gathered He said he was going to find a casual cultivator from Zhishu Song."
"what?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Qianhe's complexion changed immediately.
The situation in the city had just stabilized, but now it's happening again.
Although he had a premonition about this, he didn't expect that something would happen so soon, and the person he was looking for was Song Zhishu.
But thinking about it, it seems reasonable. There was no trouble before because there were still demons suppressing it, but now the chaos of demons has been resolved, and because of the rumors during this period, the conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples has become more and more serious , It's only a matter of time before troubles arise.
As for why the disciples of the Zongmen went to find Song Zhishu, Qiu Qianhe could also understand, after all, the other party had a high status in Sanxiu's heart recently, and he seemed to be a representative, and some people were pushing the flames
But at its root, this is the struggle between casual cultivators and sect disciples.
At that moment, Qiu Qianhe couldn't help turning his head.
"City Lord Qiu, don't worry about this matter."
Next to him, Wang Ping'an spoke, his eyes became sharper: "I will call the elders of the various sects in the city to calm this matter down."
Everyone has already found Song Zhishu, and it is impossible for him to let the matter develop. There are two reasons. Affected by some rumors, and some people come to make trouble, as the elder of Jianzong, naturally he will not sit idly by.
The second reason is that Wang Ping'an is well aware of Song Zhishu's character, he is a gentleman, but he has his own reasons and bottom line.
It usually looks like nothing, but if it touches the root, then you won't choose to endure it at all.
Just like when they were obviously just a few handyman disciples.
But Song Zhishu made a move directly, and in the end, the head teacher made a move.
In this way, the situation in Qingzhou City will be difficult to control, and more importantly, the identity of the other party may also be exposed.
Under such circumstances, Wang Pingan has already decided that it must be resolved. Of course, he will not come forward, but go directly to the elders of the various sects. After all, it is those disciples who are making trouble now.
"Okay, okay, then Elder Wang will work hard."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe's eyes lit up immediately, and he cupped his hands.
"kindness."
Wang Pingan nodded, without saying anything more, and disappeared in place as a stream of light.
Seeing this, Qiu Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
Originally, I was still thinking that if the other party didn't do anything in the end, the situation would definitely be difficult to control.
It's all right now, he didn't expect the disciples of the sect to start making a fuss, and he couldn't help but relax completely. Fortunately, these people are ignorant, and if Wang Pingan makes a move, there must be no problem.
Involuntarily, Qiu Qianhe shook his head, these sect disciples are usually arrogant, but now they have provoked Song Zhishu.
Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?
Thoughts so far.
Qiu Qianhe knew that he didn't need to worry about this matter anymore, but he still ordered someone to investigate the news and report back at any time.
Wang Ping'an moved quickly, and came directly to the Lieyangzong residence in Qingzhou City, because the rumors came from here at the beginning, and the elder Lieyangzong was shocked when he saw the person coming, and hurried out to greet him.
Seeing this, Wang Pingan didn't explode directly, but asked the other party to notify all the sect elders in Qingzhou City to come.
Although Lie Yangzong was full of doubts about this, he did not dare to neglect and chose to obey.
Because the major sects are very close to each other.
That's why it's only a stick of incense, everyone has arrived, but everyone doesn't know what's going on.
At this moment, in the main hall of Lie Yangzong's residence.
Dozens of figures gathered, these people had strong auras, and each of them exuded a glow. There were old people, middle-aged people, and women, a total of 19 people, all of whom were elders of Qingzhou City sent by various sects. It is different from the early stage of Golden Core.
The leader was Wang Ping'an. At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly and did not speak, making the atmosphere in the lobby a bit heavy.
"The elders of the eighteen sects in Qingzhou City have all arrived. I don't know why Elder Wang summoned us?"
One of the old men spoke, his figure was a bit hunched, but his eyes were bright, and he exuded a fiery aura. This man was the elder of the Lieyang Sect.
The other 17 people also cast their gazes one after another, their faces were full of doubts, they didn't know what the Elder Wang of Taihao Sword Sect was calling them for.
But they didn't dare to have an opinion, because all the sects present were located in the Eastern Realm, and they all respected Taihao Sword Sect.
Even though Wang Ping'an's status in the Sword Sect is not very high, he is already a big shot to everyone.
It is the double gap between cultivation base and identity.
Not to mention these people present.
Even if their suzerain comes, they must treat each other with courtesy and dare not offend.
Soon, Wang Ping'an opened his eyes and looked around. The elders of the various sects who made eye contact with him lowered their heads slightly. Seeing this, he slowly said: "I heard that the disciples of these sects are making trouble in the city. , looking for trouble with casual cultivators?"
His voice was very soft, not in a hurry, without any emotion in it.
When the elders heard the words, they immediately looked at each other, their eyes couldn't help showing doubts again, as if they didn't understand.
In fact, everyone present knew about this matter, but they didn't stop it. What's wrong with finding casual cultivators?It's not a big deal.
All the elders didn't understand, and they didn't know how to reply. In the end, the elder of Lie Yangzong walked out and cupped his hands: "Elder Wang Hui, it's like this. Is there any problem?"
"what is the problem?"
Wang Ping'an's eyes changed slightly, and his tone was also slightly heavy: "Now that the chaos of monsters has just been subsided, the situation has not been completely stabilized, but the disciples below you are disregarding the overall situation and starting to cause trouble. What's the problem?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the elder of Lieyang Sect changed slightly, but he calmed down quickly, and continued: "Elder Wang, there have always been conflicts between our sect disciples and casual cultivators, which you also know, and the recent paragraph Over time, these casual cultivators are really dancing too much, and it's okay to teach them a lesson, after all, they are just some casual cultivators, if they are not restrained, I don't know what troubles will be caused in the future."
In his eyes, casual cultivators are inherently inferior, so there is nothing wrong with his disciples looking for trouble.
So what if there is a problem?As long as nothing happens, it's fine.
So he doesn't understand.
As the other party, how could he pay attention to such a trivial matter.
"I know what you're thinking."
Wang Pingan chuckled: "Don't think I don't know, where did the rumor about Song Zhishu come from, framing casual cultivators, bullying others, and now you are going to make trouble directly, is this what you are doing?"
"To tell you the truth, Song Zhishu is a member of my Taihao Jianzong, and he is a person who is valued by the headmaster of my Jianzong. After saying this, what to do, you understand in your heart, if this matter is not resolved, I will come to you next time. Yes, it’s not me, old man.”
This sentence directly revealed Song Zhishu's identity, and the reason was that he wanted to let the sect elders present know the seriousness of the matter.
If it is about other people and doubts about other forces, Wang Ping'an will naturally be cautious and will not speak out.
But these people in front of them are completely different, and the sects behind them all look up to Taihao Sword Sect.
So what if Song Zhishu's identity is revealed?
He also has the ability to make everyone shut up, not daring to reveal half of it.
Someone from Taihao Sword Sect?
Song Zhishu?
All present are elders from various sects, who have practiced for many years, who is not an old fox?
So I understood the meaning almost instantly.
Who can be so valued by the other party, and who is still called Song Zhishu?
It turned out to be the case.
for a while.
Everyone was cold and realized that they had kicked the iron plate.
No wonder Wang Pingan had such a big reaction and would personally come to ask about this kind of thing.
No wonder everyone is like this. In today's world, there are too many monks with the same name.
At this moment, they only knew that Song Zhishu should not be messed with no matter what, and if something happened, it would definitely be a big deal.
Behind this person, not only Taihao Sword Sect, but also Southern Confucianism
"I understand that we will call everyone back now." The elders of Lieyangzong trembled a little. Song Zhishu is fine, but the key is that Wang Ping'an's words are too scary.
The elders of the other seventeen sects also realized the problem and stood up one by one.
Now they all have only one thought in mind, that is to immediately recall all the troublesome disciples under them.
Otherwise, if something happened, Taihao Sword Sect would definitely get angry.
"It's not as simple as just being called back."
Wang Pingan looked at the elder of the Lieyang Sect, and said in a flat voice, "And those disciples under you, who are the ones who started it, don't look down on casual cultivators? Then let them have a taste of casual cultivators."
In a word, the opponent directly deprived those people of their status as sect disciples.
Wang Ping'an's idea is very simple. Protecting Song Zhishu is one aspect, but the actions of Liu Yuan and others really made him feel sick.
Such a person has to be taught a lesson.
"Yes, definitely."
The elder of Lieyang Sect nodded immediately, not daring to make any rebuttals.
After all, if the other party hadn't come, the matter would have become a big mess, and the entire Lieyang Sect would be implicated.
"very good."
At this moment, Wang Ping'an stood up, looked at everyone present, and said solemnly: "Also, you can't mention today's matter to anyone, especially about Song Zhishu's identity, otherwise I will find out in the future, and everyone present, If you can’t escape, well, let’s all go.”
The major sects that should not be provoked in the eyes of casual cultivators are nothing in front of the elders of Taihao Sword Sect.
And he also believed that with his own words, everyone present must know what to do.
At the same time, Wang Ping'an was also fortunate.
This time, the sects that entered Qingzhou City belonged to the Eastern Realm and were controlled by the Taihao Sword Sect. If they were replaced by other sects, it would be difficult.
Of course, his thinking is also very simple. With Song Zhishu's ability, it will only be a matter of time before his identity is exposed.
But at least in a short period of time, it will not be discovered by outsiders.
Especially during these days in Qingzhou City.
"Yes, I'll wait to understand."
All the elders of the sect bowed quickly, and then turned into streamers one by one, and left the Lie Yangzong residence.
Now they just want to arrive as soon as possible, and stop the matter before it becomes a complete mess.
Especially the elders of Lie Yangzong.
I have already scolded Liu Yuan and others thousands of times in my heart, okay, why did I provoke Song Zhishu?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more afraid he became, the angrier he became.
As for Wang Pingan, he didn't stop there too much.
What he should do has been done, now it's time to return to Zongmen, as for the things in Qingzhou City, I believe those Zongmen elders will definitely do a good job and will not let him down.
at the same time.
After Song Zhishu and the others left the City Lord's Mansion, they did not return to Yunlingzhai immediately.
Instead, he was wandering on the road. After all, he was leaving in a few days, and he didn't know when he would be back.
Especially the three of Lin Cheng, who have lived in Qingzhou for several years, have a sense of nostalgia, so the pace of the group of five people is not very fast.
Song Zhishu looked at the bustling streets that had returned to the past, and felt a little emotional in his heart. Sure enough, there are no disasters and no difficulties. No matter monks or mortals, they don't have to worry about their lives all the time.
It's a pity, how long can this kind of life last?
The plague of demons has come out.
After sixty years, when the sage's methods fail, the troubled times will affect everyone.
I don't know how many people will die at that time
Thinking of this, Song Zhishu's desire to become stronger became stronger.
Before the chaos comes, I must not only have the means to protect myself, but also have the ability to do more, even if it is only a little. This is not compassion, but just wanting to follow my heart and protect that conscience.
"Yunlingzhai is ahead, so I'll take my leave first."
Chen Jingyun opened his mouth and didn't intend to go in. After all, the academy still has some things to deal with.
But when he was about to turn his head, he suddenly noticed something was wrong in the distance, frowned and said, "Huh? Why are there so many people in front?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Zhishu and others couldn't help casting their eyes.
I saw a large group of people gathered on the street towards Yunlingzhai not far away, including casual cultivators and sect disciples, and it seemed that it wasn't just one sect, all of them couldn't help but look at each other for a while glance.
problem occurs?
