Wang Shichong pondered for a while and then said: I want the three of you to steal He's Bi for me.
Kou Zhong said in astonishment: Do you know where He's Bi is?
Wang Shichong snorted coldly: "Of course I know Luoyang is my territory. How can you hide anything from me?"
She glanced at him again and said: If you can do this for me, Shuni will be yours.
Kou Zhong said hurriedly: "What kind of reward can I ask for if I can do something for Lord Shangshu? But I have something unclear and I want to ask Lord Shangshu for advice."
Wang Shichong frowned and said: Just do it! Why did you suddenly become so literate?
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "According to Master Shangshu's knowledge, is He's Bi in the possession of Shi Fei Xuan?"
Wang Shichong smiled bitterly and said: Of course it's not in her hands, otherwise asking you to steal it would be just a waste of time. It is said that Shi Feixuan's martial arts has reached the level of Ning Daoqi, who has become a saint. To steal something from her is like trying to steal something from her.
It is as impossible as plucking the bright moon from the sky.
This time Kou Zhong was really shocked and said, "Why doesn't she carry such an important thing with her?"
Wang Shichong lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being heard: This matter is a big secret in the world. I only found out about it because I met a close friend of Ning Daoqi. That person you have also met is Teacher Wang Tong.
Of course Kou Zhong remembered the great Confucian Wang Tong.
It was at that banquet that he met Wang Shichong for the first time, and Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu heard about Shi Qingxuan's unparalleled flute skills.
Wang Shichong continued: He's Bi is indeed an unfathomable human treasure. It looks like jade but is not jade. The strangest thing is that it can promote the practice of meditation in Buddhism and Taoism. It is of immeasurable benefit to those who practice innate true energy.
Kou Zhong was puzzled and said: In this case, Master Xuan should sleep with her arms around it. Why doesn't she carry it with her?
Wang Shichong laughed dumbly and said: This is because you only know one but not the other. It turns out that Heshi Bi has a strange characteristic, which is that it changes with the weather.
If you are not careful, you will be surrounded by hallucinations, which may easily lead you to be possessed.
Kou Zhong said: Then just put it in the iron box and it will be done?
Wang Shichong said: Nothing can block its influence. Unless you are not a master of cultivating superior innate true energy, as long as you enter the scope of its influence, you have to bet on your fate to see under what circumstances it will change and become weird.
To what extent.
Kou Zhong let out a breath of cold air and said: Then why do you ask me to steal such a terrible thing? Don't you know that I am cultivating the most superior innate mental method of Xuanmen?
Wang Shichong smiled happily and said: I am just asking you to steal it now, and I am not asking you to hold it to meditate and practice. So what are you afraid of? As long as you get the treasure and hand it over to the person who takes care of it, the task will be completed.
Kou Zhongqi said: If it only affects me when I am practicing, then why doesn’t Master Feixuan wear it with me? Master Shangshu, isn’t he trying to harm me?
Wang Shichong smiled and said: I am most happy with a straight-tempered person like you. He's Bi will affect the owner in two situations: one is when he meditates and the other is when he works with others to gain luck. So whether it is Ning Daoqi or
Master Concubine Xuandu would never walk around holding He's Bi.
Kou Zhong thought it was reasonable.
Wouldn't it be terrible if the concubine Xuan met Jiujiu when she was carrying He's Bi?
The leader said: This explanation makes sense, but if I were Shi Feixuan or Ning Daoqi, I would definitely hide the Heshi Bi in a place where no other person would know about it, making it impossible to do anything about it.
Wang Shichong said calmly: Your idea makes sense, but it is just common sense and cannot be applied to rare treasures like He's Bi. From a historical perspective, after the He's Bi is lost, there are always ways to teach people to find it back, or strange things happen.
The light may even silently summon the destined person and so on. So if Concubine Xuan wants to keep Heshibi, she must leave it to someone she trusts for safekeeping, do you understand?
Kou Zhong frowned and said: He still only barely understood part of it.
Wang Shichong seemed to be in a very good mood and said happily: Is there anything else that you don’t understand?
Kou Zhongdao: What I don’t understand is that, prince, you are very qualified to be selected by the concubine Xuan as the master of the He clan. At that time, all the tycoons in the world obeyed and responded. There were also Ning Daoqi and the entire Cihang Jingzhai belt or bald nuns.
Isn't it better to support him than to do secretive things now?
Wang Shichong sighed and said distressedly: If you were Shi Fei Xuan, who would you choose between Li Mi and me? Just because I am a Hu, I would never be selected.
After a pause, he continued: That's why I asked you to steal the treasure for me. Because everyone thinks that you, Kou Zhong, won't listen to others, so you won't implicate me. You must help find this favor, otherwise if you let Li Mi get it
Bao Bi, neither you nor I can even imagine a happy life.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "The prince's plan is indeed his wishful thinking, but aren't you afraid that I will keep it for myself after I get the treasure?"
Wang Shichong smiled and said: What is the use of getting He's Bi? There is also an old saying that it is a crime to hold a Bi. This Bi is the He's Bi. Even if you are stupid enough to take it as your own, it is better than letting it fall to Li Mi or Dou Jiande.
Li Yuan and others have it.
Kou Zhong thought that if you think so, it would be best to pretend to be worried and said: Okay! Then where is He Shibi?
Wang Shichong replied calmly: I don't know!
Kou Zhong shouted in astonishment: What?

Xu Ziling was about to walk out of the alley when a dry cough came from behind. He was startled and suddenly turned around to see Ba Fenghan wearing a mask and quickly came to his side and pulled him towards the street: I will kill that person for you.
Hey! But what happened? It looks like you want to go to Shangguan Long to kill a man, but doing so is just a common man's bravery and there is no difference between going to die.
Xu Ziling came to his senses and turned around to look at Shangguan Longhua's house across the street on the right rear and said: Your Yingui sect elder must be Shangguan Long!
Ba Feng's head should be cold.
When Xu Ziling briefly explained what had just happened, Ba Fenghan said in shock: You are really not afraid of death. Even though you know that there is a high possibility that Xiu Yaonv and Bian Fuhuai are hiding in Shangguan Long Mansion, you still have to break in to avenge your men. Fortunately,
I'm here to step on the plate, otherwise I won't be able to catch you.
Then he pulled him into a side street and said, "Come! I'll show you a place."
※※※
Wang Shichong smiled slightly, took out a scroll of silk pictures from his arms, spread it on the table and said: This is a schematic diagram of Jing Nian Zen Temple located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang City. Jing Nian Zen Sect has always been closely related to Cihang Jingzhai, and he followed Jingzhai's example and never got involved in the world.
Although he is not famous in the martial arts world, he has a lofty status in the disputes. Therefore, unless Shi Fei Xuan does not give the Heshi Bi to others, he must give it to the Zen master of Jing Nian Zang Yuan, Master Lok Kong, for safekeeping. The best thing is because
No one dares to get close to He's Bi because of its strange properties, so He's Bi must be hidden somewhere in the temple, isolated from people.
Kou Zhong looked at the temple map and saw that the palace was heavy with numbness. He asked, "It will probably take a long time to walk around such a big place. How can I find He's Bi?"
Wang Shichong smiled bitterly and said: If it was an easy task, I would have sent someone to do it. In fact, although I have many capable people, none of them can match your intelligence. Plus you have two good helpers who should be better than others.
More chance.
Kou Zhong leaned on the back of the chair and sighed: "How is Ling Kong's martial arts?"
Wang Shichong said calmly: I don’t know!
Kou Zhongcha jumped up from his chair and said in a voiceless voice: What? Has no one seen him?
Wang Shichong replied helplessly: Of course some people have seen him and I have met him twice, but he practices silent meditation and never talks to others.
Kou Zhong was surprised and said: With the prince's eyesight, can you still not see through his depth?
Wang Shichong said distressedly: A monk who can practice to keep his mouth shut must be a secretive person! I don’t even know whether he knows martial arts. I only know that the four great temple guardians under him are all unfathomable. Otherwise, the masters would not have to work with Mr. Kou’s master!
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: You know how to choose people better than Shi Fei Xuan. The most annoying thing is that Prince, you just guess everything out of thin air. If I try my best to search the whole temple and still can't find He's Bi, then it will be unfair.
Wang Shichong's eyes shone brightly and he said: As long as there is a chance, we should not let it go. Otherwise, if Li Mi is allowed to get He's Bi, you and I will have no choice but to abandon our honor and even live a life of being at the mercy of others.
Kou Zhong sighed: If this is the case, then I will do whatever you want, Your Majesty!

Ba Fenghan pointed to a courtyard with many houses across the street and said: This is the most famous brothel in Luoyang. The three most popular prostitutes in the Manqing Courtyard are Qingju, Qinglian and Qingping, known as the Three Flowers of Manqing. The boss is Ziling. You can't wait to cut Shangguan Long into pieces.
The streets were so busy with pedestrians that they had to step aside so as not to obstruct them.
At this time, the sun was about to sink beneath the Western Mountains, and some shops had lights on.
Xu Ziling said coldly: Will Shangguanlong come here tonight?
Ba Fenghan said: He has a long room here. On the surface, it is used to greet friends, but in fact, it is used to collect intelligence from all aspects.
Xu Ziling was surprised: How could the Dongming Sect know so many secret things?
Ba Fenghan frowned and said: I'm not sure about this. I asked Wan Jing twice and she didn't answer me directly. I had to know better and stop asking her. But Wan Jing has the right to live up to her father and if Mrs. Dongming is Wan Jing's biological mother, the Dongming Sect, must have a certain connection with the Yingui Sect, so she knows more about the Yingui Sect than others.
At this time, a group of Hu merchants wanted to enter the shop behind them to look at the goods. They wisely stepped aside. Ba Fenghan took the opportunity to pull him and continue walking: Wan Jing did not let him down. This father was deeply hurt, but he knew that he could not be cruel. It is not easy to kill him, so she asked me to do it for her. In fact, it is extremely tyrannical. Even if the three of us join forces, there is no way we can keep him without a favorable environment.
As Xu Ziling walked, he whispered in his ear: If she wants to deal with the Yingui Sect, isn't she afraid of the Yingui Sect's revenge?
Ba Fenghanxiao: This is another reason why Wanjing wants to use me to deal with Bian Fuqi. Because only the Nanhai Sect has made Wanjing difficult to deal with. If he openly provokes the Yingui Sect, which is extremely hard, it can't be harder. The rival Dongming sect may be in danger of destroying the sect.
Xu Ziling asked in astonishment: What is the Nanhai School? Why have I never heard of it?
Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said: The Nanhai Sect is not something but a big island in Hainan. It is the most famous sect in the south and is second only to the Song Dynasty. Its leader, Mei Xun, became the leader seven years ago when he was only twenty years old. He is very famous for his skill with spears.
Xu Ziling sighed: The Central Plains is really too big. There are so many strange people and strangers that I can’t even hear them all.
The two of them then walked onto the Xinzhong Bridge and walked eastward along the Luoshui River to meet up with Kou Zhong.
Ba Fenghan smiled and said: However, the most frightening person of the Nanhai Sect is not Mei Xun, but his master Nanhai Xianweng Huang Gongcuo. This person can be ranked among the top ten masters in the Central Plains in terms of seniority and martial arts.
Not much worse than Ning Daoqi. Fortunately, he has retired for many years, otherwise Wan Jing would have had more headaches.
Xu Ziling said clearly: No wonder you know so much about the Central Plains. At least this Princess Dongming is willing to provide you with information without reservation.
Ba Fenghan said calmly: As early as the Turks, I already knew a lot about the Central Plains. Come! Let's sit down by the embankment and wait for Master Zhong!
After sitting down, Xu Ziling looked at a sailboat sailing through Luoshui under the sunset and said with emotion: Look how free and freehand this boat is. Even though it is in the center of the city, all the struggles in the world seem to have nothing to do with it. And I and I
You are deeply involved in the world of right and wrong, and it is difficult to escape.
Ba Feng said coldly: Ziling is definitely an unwilling participant in this world, but even if this boat is actually like us, it is wallowing in the sea of people. Let's not talk about it, why don't we study how to capture Shangguan Long again alive?
I have to ask you where your Aunt Yu is.
At this time, Kou Zhong arrived and knelt down excitedly behind the two of them and said mysteriously: Let's go steal He's Bi tonight, shall we?
