Chapter 14
"Self-murder?!" Shen Xu exclaimed in shock
Ye Chen sighed, "You are also a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, why don't you know anything about the four major sects?"
Shen Xu retorted, "It's not like you don't know what my previous situation was like. Food and clothing are problems, so how can you care about these things?"
Ye Chen thinks about it too, and Qing Hengjun's death is not a secret at all, so it doesn't matter if you tell Shen Xu.It's just that it's impolite to talk about Lord Qing Heng behind Jiang Xun's back, so Ye Chen still hesitates.At this moment, a disciple suddenly came, saying that the deputy head wanted to find Ye Chen for something.
Ye Chen felt as if he had received an amnesty, patted Shen Xu on the shoulder, pretended to be sorry and said, "I advise you to ask your senior brother about the uncle's matter." After speaking, he disappeared like a smoke.
Shen Xu returned to the residence and found that Jiang Xun hadn't come back, so he waited in his room for a while.Only then did he have time to take a good look at Jiang Xun's room. When he came here on the first day, he just took a quick look, and found nothing else but the astonishing cleanliness.
But at this moment when he looked carefully, Shen Xu suddenly made a new discovery.The books placed on Jiang Xun's bookshelf are roughly divided into two categories, one is about the development history of Tianxuanzong and various sect rules; the other is various travel notes and messy scripts.
Although these story books and travel notes are well preserved, they are obviously old.Shen Xu flipped through a few books, and found that these travel notes and story books were written by Mr. Qing Heng.
These books record Qing Hengjun's experience of traveling in Kyushu for ten years from the age of 15 to 25, some of which are extremely bizarre and psychedelic, and narrated through Qing Heng's outstanding writing style, it is like a masterpiece of fantasy.
So Shen Xu became even more puzzled. From these story books and travel notes, it is not difficult to see that Qing Heng Lord is a broad-minded and straightforward person, what happened to make him end up committing suicide.
Shen Xu thought hard for a long time with his chin in his hands, but there was still no result, so he had to wake up the system to give him a popular science about the plot.
Unexpectedly, the answer given to him by the system was that the death of Lord Qingheng was a hidden plot, and he needed to unlock it together with the protagonist to know.
As soon as Shen Xu heard it, he knew that there was probably another task that would endanger his life to be released, so he immediately blocked the system.
Shen Xu continued to flip through the book, when suddenly a bookmark fell out of the page.He picked up the bookmark from the ground and took a look, only to find that there were only nine characters written on it, Wuwangchuan, Wuyou Pavilion, Su Qingyang.
Shen Xu looked confused, and at this moment, Jiang Xun suddenly appeared at the door, seeing Shen Xu holding a book of Qing Hengjun's travel notes, and there was a rare hint of displeasure in his tone, "What are you doing?"
Shen Xu quickly put the bookmark into his sleeve, raised his hand and raised the notebook in his hand without changing his face, and said without blushing, "Read the book, isn't this obvious."
Jiang Xun walked over quickly, took the travel notes out of Shen Xu's hand without saying a word, smoothed the wrinkles on it, and then carefully put them back on the bookshelf.
Jiang Xun's series of actions were surprisingly quick, and Shen Xu almost didn't have time to react.
When Shen Xu came back to his senses, Jiang Xun had already closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, ready to start practicing.
Feeling that Shen Xu's gaze never left him, Jiang Xun opened his eyes and faced Shen Xu, "Is there anything else?"
Shen Xu crossed his legs and sat down opposite Jiang Xun, shaking his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm too boring. You said that I can be considered your guest anyway, but I wander around in your small courtyard all day long. The most important thing is that I am afraid that I will go out and hurt people because of the corpse poison, and those who don’t know will think you are a golden house. If this is accidentally spread by someone with a heart, won’t it ruin the reputation of our fellow Daoist Jiang?”
Jiang Xun looked straight at Shen Xu, and said slowly, "What do you want?"
"No, I just want to have a look around. After all, it's my first time visiting Tianxuanzong. Wouldn't it be too bad if I didn't take a good look around?"
Jiang Xun was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "I'll take you out tonight."
Shen Xu didn't expect Jiang Xun to agree, after a moment of stunned, he hurried back to his room to change clothes.
Just as the Golden Crow slanted westward, Shen Xu appeared in front of Jiang Xun on time.Jiang Xun just finished adjusting his breath at this time, seeing Shen Xu wearing a green shirt, wearing a jade crown, waving a folding fan, and dressed like a handsome young man, the corners of his eyebrows twitched.
Shen Xu turned around in front of Jiang Xun showing off, and seeing that he didn't speak, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with my attire?"
Jiang Xun said lightly, "Very good."
Seeing that Jiang Xun's attitude was very perfunctory, Shen Xu didn't expect him to give any substantive suggestions.So, the two went out like this.
Although Tianxuanzong is located in the deep mountains, the small town under the mountain is very prosperous.In addition, today happened to be the seventh day of July, so the streets were full of young boys and girls, Shen Xu and Jiang Jiangxun were two big men standing among them, they were very conspicuous no matter how you looked at them.
However, Shen Xu has always been thick-skinned, and Jiang Xun is always expressionless, so the eyes of outsiders have no effect on them at all.
Shen Xu was so busy looking here and there that he disappeared in an instant.Jiang Xun was not in a hurry when he saw this, he just followed behind Shen Xu slowly, while keeping a perfect distance from passers-by to prevent them from touching him.
Shen Xu is very delicious, especially sweets. He saw a vendor selling sugar on the street, so he ran over and bought two skewers without saying a word.Seeing the candy figurine in Shen Xu's hand, a child next to him pulled the elder's sleeve and begged to buy him a bunch too, but the elder only said that eating too much sweets was bad for his teeth, so he didn't agree.
The child started crying because of this.
After Shen Xu heard this, he walked towards the child, and then handed the sugar figurine with the picture of King Tota Lee to him, and smiled and said, "Do you want this sugar figurine?"
The child shook his head, pointed at Nezha in Shen Xu's other hand and shouted, "I want that!"
Seeing this, the child's elders hurriedly stopped the child, and couldn't stop apologizing to Shen Xu.Shen Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's normal for children to like sugar people." So he handed 'Nezha' to the child again, "Do you want this?"
The child nodded quickly.Who would have thought that the moment Shen Xu handed the candy figurine to him, he suddenly took it back and took a big bite, "If you want to eat, I won't give it!"
The child burst into tears when he saw this.Shen Xu ignored the reproaches of the people around him, and walked away directly.
Hearing the noise in front of him, Jiang Xun thought that something happened to Shen Xu, and was about to go over to have a look, when he saw Shen Xu squeezed out from the crowd and walked in front of him.
Just as Jiang Xun wanted to ask him what happened in front of him, Shen Xu casually handed the bitten candy figure to Jiang Xun, "Why don't you take a bite of the newly baked sugar figure!"
Jiang Xun looked at the glistening saliva marks on the sugar figurine, with obvious disgust in his eyes.Seeing this, Shen Xu quickly handed him another intact one.
Jiang Xun had been fasting for many years, and he had already lost his greed for mortal food, but looking at Shen Xu's eager eyes, he was too embarrassed to smack his face.I had no choice but to take it and took a small bite symbolically.
"How is it delicious?"
Jiang Xun really wanted to cooperate with Shen Xu, but this sugar man was really too sweet, and finally he didn't say the word delicious.
Shen Xu looked at Jiang Xun's painful expression, and felt embarrassed to force him any more, he raised his hand and snatched the sugar man over, and took two big gulps.
Jiang Xun had never thought about eating with others, so he looked at Shen Xu with a rare surprise.
As a modern person, Shen Xu didn't find it strange. After all, if the relationship is close enough, even the most extreme things can be done.
But Jiang Xun is a stereotyped ancient character after all, so he couldn't accept Shen Xu's behavior beyond the rules for a while.
Jiang Xun was about to speak out against Shen Xu, when suddenly a cluster of colorful fireworks burst into the sky, and the dark sky was instantly lit up by the light of the fireworks. Everyone looked up excitedly when they heard the sound, Shen Xu and Jiang Xun There are no exceptions.
Jiang Xun turned his head to watch the light of the fireworks reflected on Shen Xu's side face. For some reason, he suddenly thought of his parents who had passed away for many years.
Although his memory of his parents is almost blurred, he clearly remembers that his parents used to love watching fireworks.
At this time, the fireworks suddenly bloomed with a flying phoenix pattern. Shen Xu had never seen such a beautiful fireworks. Excited, he forgot Jiang Xun's obsession with cleanliness, grabbed his sleeve, pointed to the sky and shouted "Jiang Xun Xun, look!"
Jiang Xun looked in the direction of Shen Xu's finger, but didn't see any beautiful fireworks, but found that the imprint on Shen Xu's wrist had become much larger.
On the way back to Tianxuanzong, Jiang Xun was obviously in a bad mood.But Shen Xu didn't know why.
Seeing that the gate of Tianxuanzong was close in front of him, Shen Xu decided to ask Jiang Xun.But at this moment, Tianxuanzong's messenger talisman floated over.Jiang Xun took it over and took a look, then turned to Shen Xu and said, "The master master called us to go to the council hall to talk about something."
Shen Xu was taken aback, pointing to himself and Jiang Xun, "Are you sure it's me and you?"
Jiang Xun didn't bother to talk to him, so he took a step first.Shen Xu hadn't been to the meeting hall yet, so he hurriedly followed for fear of getting lost.
When Shen Xu and Jiang Xun came to the meeting hall, they found that there were already two people waiting here.The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat looks to be nearly 40 years old, with handsome features and elegant temperament, and warm and soft eyes that make people want to get close.The middle-aged man sitting on the left is slightly younger, and his appearance is nearly five points similar to Ye Chen's, both of which are very aggressive and handsome.If Shen Xu's guess is correct, these two people should be Qi Xiu, the suzerain of Tianxuanzong, and Ye Yuanzhou, the deputy suzerain.
Jiang Xun stepped forward to salute the two of them, and respectfully said, "Uncle Master, Uncle Master."
Shen Xu also saluted, "Junior Shen Xu, I have met Sect Master Qi and Deputy Sect Master Ye."
Qi Xiu looked at the two of them with a smile, and said slowly, "There's no need to be too polite." Then his eyes moved to Shen Xu, slightly startled, and then he asked, "I see that little friend Shen looks familiar, do you know someone named Ling Yan's people?"
Shen Xu shook his head, "This junior is an orphan. He grew up in Xiaoyaomen since he was a child. He has never seen anyone named Ling Yan."
Qi Xiu nodded, and then started to get to the point, "The reason why I called you here today is because someone found Moxiu's trace."
Ye Chen sighed, "You are also a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, why don't you know anything about the four major sects?"
Shen Xu retorted, "It's not like you don't know what my previous situation was like. Food and clothing are problems, so how can you care about these things?"
