Former Sweetheart

The shopkeeper of this Red Apricot Inn is named Wang Facai. According to Qiu Yuebai, the Wang family and the Zhang family still have an old grievance.Yujun Cave is a spiritual cave developed by Cangtian Mansion 100 years ago. Before that, Mingchuan was still called Mingchuan, and the tea industry had not been developed. The people still relied on farming for their livelihood, because the mountains blocked commercial routes , there are not many wealthy families in the city.

Zhang's family is the only rice merchant in the city, and the Wang family also has some family background because a monk was born in their ancestors. The two families are considered good friends after getting married. The reason why they don't communicate with each other now is because of one thing.

At that time, Cangtian Mansion had just discovered Liuli Immortal Tea, and in order to form a business line, they encouraged the people in the city to grow tea.The spiritual tea watered with the water from the Yujun Cave is also a favorite of the monks. The Wang family saw the opportunity at that time, and invited the Li family, who was in-laws, to run it together because they were not good at business.Later, they also brought in Li Xiucai from the city, and the three families jointly established the Mingchuan Chamber of Commerce, bought a large area of ​​mountain land and turned it into a tea field, and started the first tea business.

Spiritual water from heaven and earth is rare, and the sales of this spiritual tea are really good. However, when huge benefits arise, conflicts arise.The children of the Wang family were obsessed with self-cultivation, and the scholar of the Li family only knew how to study. The Zhang family took care of the purchase of land and the operation of the chamber of commerce. The business was fine at the beginning, but when the chamber of commerce gradually grew in size, the members of the Zhang family complained a lot.

The contradictions among the three families gradually deepened, and the Zhang family finally got the chance to dominate the family.One day, the Cangtian Mansion urgently summoned the tea merchants in the city and informed them that the Demon Cult had poisoned the Yujun Cave, and asked them to destroy all the tea leaves that had been watered with immortal water, and immediately investigate all the sold tea leaves, and never allow a single piece of poisoned tea to leave the city. .

No one would dare to be careless about such a big event, the chambers of commerce in the city were all catching up with the sold tea leaves non-stop, but the Zhang family hid the news from the other two and let their staff sell as usual.This poisonous tea really caused problems for people to drink. People who can drink spirit tea from time to time are either rich or expensive. When the victim came to the door, the two families panicked.The head of the Zhang family took advantage of the fire and claimed that they could invite monks to settle the matter for them, but the cost was not low, and the two families had to pay for it themselves.

Money is so important, the Wang family and the Li family immediately agreed, and also used the tea field as a mortgage first as he said.Who would have thought that the Zhang family kicked them out of the chamber of commerce when they got the tea fields. The two families lost their livelihood and were still burdened with huge debts. However, this family has become the richest household in the city through this, and has been living smoothly ever since.

This is already the matter of Wang Facai's grandfather. He has been making trouble in the government since he learned the truth from his father's notes at the age of 20, but the poisonous tea did leave the city back then, and the contract between the two families to mortgage the tea field is also indelible. In the end, the government just beat him out and ignored him.Later, he went to Zhang Mansion to scold and ask Cang Tian Mansion to uphold justice. The Zhang family was afraid that he would make a big fuss, so they gave him the Red Apricot Inn.Wang Facai got the benefits and stopped making trouble. Everyone thought that these old affairs should end here, and no one expected that he would be involved with the Yujun Cave monster.

"I was still young when that incident happened a hundred years ago, and I didn't know the real situation of the Mingchuan Chamber of Commerce. Wang Facai also made a fuss with the Cangtian Mansion later, but I can't order the Zhang family to return the land deed just based on his one-sided words. , who would dare to come to Mingchuan to do business?"

Under Fu Hongye's questioning, Qiu Yuebai finally revealed what happened back then, and at the end she sighed helplessly, "In the end, the Demon Cult was too ruthless, and actually caused a disaster by poisoning the water."

With this grievance, both the Wang and Li families may write down the name of the Zhang family master, but the Li family's daughter is also missing, and the most suspicious one at present is the innkeeper Wang Facai.It's just that the Wang family hasn't practiced much since it fell behind, and Wang Facai is no different from ordinary people. How did he discover this secret path?

This secret road is not far from the place where Wang Caihe fainted, and it is hidden under the rocks. The road is rugged and rocky, and there are no traces of digging. It seems to be formed naturally.But it leads directly to an ancient forest in the mountains, and after a short walk, you can enter the city. It would be too coincidental if it was not artificial.

This discovery caused everyone to be full of doubts, but Cun Jie was somewhat shocked by what Qiu Yuebai said.Although Qiu Yuebai's wheelchair is a rare magic weapon, it is difficult to move in the chaotic rocks, so Cun Jie took the opportunity to ask him to carry him to the secret path.Now Palace Master Cangtian is on his back, he is obviously one of the top monks of the Righteous Way but he is so thin that he has almost no weight, and he does not know where all the spiritual materials used in the past have gone.

Although Cun Jie is hostile to the righteous way, he doesn't like to bully the weak. He didn't want to deal with this sick young man with disabled legs, but who would have thought that this person would criticize their leader.Although You Jiang himself didn't care about it, he couldn't bear the calamity he had promised his master to protect the leader, and immediately said: "I heard that the poison cast by the leader of the devil sect back then was to scatter the spirit, and it would only make the monks really angry. Collapsing cultivation is greatly damaged, and ordinary people will only have diarrhea for two days after eating it. For Moxiu, such a method is extremely benevolent."

The two generations of protectors of the Demon Sect are all masters of using poison, and there are more than tens of thousands of poisons in the teaching, and any one can turn Mingchuan into a dead city. Back then, You Jiang was indeed merciful.However, Qiu Yuebai, who was harmless, still couldn't understand what Moxiu did. He didn't like fighting since he was a child, and he only practiced to find a way to heal his legs.It's hard for people to live, and he doesn't understand why the righteous and the devil still fight each other for something that turns into smoke after death, but he can't change the general trend of the world, so he can only stop participating and focus on building cities and treating the people.Seeing that there seemed to be some problems with the young man's thinking, he tried to persuade him: "You are still young and don't know the dangers of demon cultivators. Remember, don't deal with them."

Cun Jie grew up in the Demon Cult since he was a child, and never felt that there was anything wrong with the Demon Cultivator. He lowered his eyes in displeasure when he heard the words, concealed his tone and pretended to be calm and said: "The Palace Master doesn't know the Demon Cultivator, so he can only conclude from the rumors. Is the Demon Cult dangerous?"

Righteous monks have never been good to monks. Qiu Yuebai didn't understand why the young man had such an attitude, but the leader didn't respond. This man should be fine, so he just replied in his usual calm tone: "I don't like killing people too much." Human, but I have no chance to go to the battlefield of righteous demons with my body, so it’s not bad to be out of sight.”

Cun Jie's eyes deepened when he said that Moxiu was a dirty thing. Although he really wanted to throw this man down for a fight, remembering the mission assigned by the leader, he just replied lightly, "People like the mansion master are naturally It's clean."

The movement of the two of them can't be concealed from You Jiang. Young people are full of blood, and they get angry when they are ridiculed casually. He slapped the table angrily.

Although he was shaking his head secretly, he immediately stood up and blocked Fu Hongye, who was about to make a move. As expected, the leader of the righteous way couldn't sit still when he encountered a righteous monk in danger. When he saw that Cun Jie's expression was wrong, he wanted to separate the two of them. How could You Jiang allow it? He made a move against the people of the Demon Cult, immediately blocked the way, and said in a low voice: "Don't touch my little bastard."

If it was in the past, Fu Hongye would definitely force him away with a sword to stop Mo Xiu from approaching the people of the Tiandao League. However, if he did it now, it would be the same as before. He finally took a step back, and only said to You Jiang seriously: "Then you also promise me, so that you can restrain your subordinates and not hurt Palace Master Qiu."

The Demon Sect didn't intend to deal with Cangtian Mansion at first, but making an agreement with the leader of the righteous way still made You Jiang feel unhappy, so he sneered, "Why did I agree to you?"

It is not a matter of a day or two for Moxiu to be rebellious. It is not easy to hear a good word from them. Fu Hongye also knows that good words will only get rolled-up eyes, so he simply told the truth: "You can't beat me!" .”

"you--"

This answer really angered the powerful leader of the Demon Cult, and before You Jiang made a move, Fu Hongye grabbed his hand first, touched the back of his hand and comforted him: "Bongzhi, I am a madman, and my mind is not very clear." , understand."

You lie to ghosts, the demons are almost scared to cry by you, okay?

However, even though he knew that this person was pretending, when the young man called Feng Zhi softly, You Jiang's clenched fists still loosened slowly.Even if it was just a possibility, he didn't want to fall out with the former boy, and finally compromised and said: "Okay, I promise you that no one will take action until you find that monster."

You Jiang has a violent temper but never breaks promises. Fu Hongye felt relieved when he got his reply. Seeing You Jiang turned his head away and said nothing, he took the initiative to find a new topic: "Why do you care about that monster so much? Is it because of me?" ?”

As expected, You Jiang rolled his eyes at this remark, "Don't be too sentimental, what I hate the most is being wronged by others. There is nothing the Devil's Cult has done that dare not admit it, but no one can hold it against you if you haven't done it." over our heads."

While talking, it seemed that memories from the past were brought back. The leader of the Demon Cult caressed the fan of Nai He, which was covered with countless bloody storms, and for the first time showed a truly murderous look in his eyes.
