Chapter seven hundred and ninety-six: Duke Heshang, acting in a subtle manner, accustomed to confounding black and white(1/2)
An Qisheng and Tianmenzi Wang Gang were in front of a very crude-looking stone chamber at the highest point of Penglai Island, which was simply piled up with huge stones. They faced a person in the stone chamber with beard and hair hanging down to the ground, and his face was covered.
The wrinkled old man bowed respectfully.
"Meet the teacher (Kawagami)!"
"An Qi..."
The old man in the stone room still had his eyes closed, as expressionless as a wooden statue, but the slow voice that sounded in the air contained a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Who was that person just now? Why did he drive a storm to attack my Penglai resort and disturb my practice?"
"Teacher Qi!"
After hearing the old man's words, An Qisheng blinked slightly and immediately answered respectfully.
"That person is Qingwei from the Alchemy Sect. The reason why he took action against me, Penglai, is probably because he was angry with his disciples for accusing him of massacring mortals at the Immortal City Council this time!"
"He is Qingwei? No wonder..."
The old man lowered his eyes and sat motionless in the stone chamber, but his voice suddenly rang in the air.
"Although I relied on external help, I was able to suppress the two of you at less than twenty years old. It's not an exaggeration to call me a genius... The Alchemy Sect really has a successor!"
"Mr. Heshang's words are wrong!"
Although An Qisheng did not dare to say anything about the old man's words, Tianmenzi Wang Gang was obviously unconvinced.
"Qingwei's little thief's artifact is certainly sharp, but if it weren't for the special features of the underworld sea around Pengqiu Immortal Island, he probably wouldn't be able to cause such a big storm. If the situation were different, I wouldn't be so scared.
he!"
"hehe!"
Regarding Tianmenzi Wang Gang's excuse, the old man did not answer at all. He just chuckled from the air, and then he changed his topic to another aspect.
"An Qi, did you say that Qingwei came to Pengqiu because he was angry with you for accusing him of massacring mortals at the Immortal City Council?"
"Exactly!"
Unlike Tianmenzi Wang Gang, An Qisheng has always been very respectful when facing the old man.
"Although it is said that Qingwei, the leader of the Xiandu Council, deceived Guangchengzi with his eloquent words and got off the hook with Kunlun's protection, this son has always acted arrogantly and arrogantly, and he must have a grudge against his disciple, the person who accused him.
…”
"Is that so?"
After An Qisheng finished speaking, the old man's noncommittal voice came from the air.
"Then what happened to what I just heard Qingwei say about me, Pengqiu, and Mrs. Shangyuan's treasury manager stealing Kunlun's property?"
"Teacher, I don't know. Although Qingwei is a cultivator, his bad deeds are not only retributive, but he is also used to confusing right and wrong. These words are nothing but what Qingwei deliberately said to frame me, Penglai."
After hearing the old man's question, An Qisheng was slightly stunned for a moment, and then immediately spoke.
"When the foundation of our Immortal Way in China was destroyed by this disciple, the reason was that the disciple's mount Yu Jingzi had some discord with him. When he was being chased for thousands of miles, the disciple came forward to give him a few words of admonishment. So what this disciple said, teacher
You can’t believe it!”
"oh!"
After An Qisheng's words fell, the old man's slow voice came from the air again.
"Can this humble person act so stubbornly?"
"exactly"
An Qisheng knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said in a respectful tone.
"This son relies on the protection of Qingxiazi in China, and he acts arrogantly. Not only Penglai Fangxian Dao, but even other sects such as Shangqing Sect, Louguan Dao, Yin Yang Sect, Tianshi Dao, etc.
I am deeply affected by it. Just like this time, Brother Tianmenzi Wang came to Pengqiu because he represented Yingzhou in the council and supported his disciples. As a result, Dongjun’s younger brother, Taishanfujun, was captured by Qingwei Qiaoli.
…”
"What Mr. An Qi said is absolutely true!"
Upon hearing this, Tianmenzi Wang Gang quickly spoke to testify.
"I came to Mr. An Qi this time just to deal with this matter..."
"hehe!"
Another old man's chuckle came from the air.
"Okay! I know about this. Then An Qi, you can go down..."
"yes!"
An Qisheng kowtowed respectfully on the ground and then continued to ask.
"May I ask if the teacher has any other instructions?"
"hehe!"
Regarding An Qisheng's words, the old man still looked noncommittal.
"Since I have entrusted Penglai's daily affairs to you, I won't be too talkative or annoying. As long as you do it well An Qiu, don't always disturb Lao Chen's Qingxiu with some inexplicable things!
"
"yes!"
After hearing these words, An Qisheng immediately kowtowed respectfully again.
"Disciple knows..."
…
Although he told Heshang Gong that he colluded with the warehouse management and theft of Kunlun Villa was all framed by the little thief Qingwei, An Qisheng immediately released him as soon as he returned to his residence from Heshang Gong.
Fei Fu summoned Wang Kejiao.
"Mr. An Qi..."
On the other side, Tianmenzi Wang Gang looked at An Qisheng's actions and couldn't help but be a little confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I thought about it seriously when I came back..."
An Qisheng touched his beard with his hand, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Judging from the gloating tone of the young thief before he left, it seems that he really caught hold of my Penglai. So I am worried that it may be the little thief who is framing me, Penglai, so it is safer to check
.”
"oh……"
After hearing what An Qisheng said, Tianmenzi Wang Gang also nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right! The little thief Qing is very cunning, we should really be more careful!"
At this time, Wang Kejiao's respectful voice was heard coming from outside the courtyard of the monastery where An Qisheng lived.
"Wang Kejiao has been summoned to see Duke An Qi!"
"Kejia, you don't have to come in!"
After hearing Wang Kejiao's words, An Qisheng immediately raised his voice to the outside of the courtyard and said.
"Right now, go check to see if any outsiders have come to our Penglai Island during this period, especially those who came from China and are not our Immortal Dao disciples. If there are any, immediately capture them and send them to Lao Cheng."
"yes!"
Wang Kejiao's respectful voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Disciple, go check it out now..."
…
Just when An Qisheng assigned Wang Kejiao to conduct a large-scale search on Penglai Xiandao, in the private screening room of Yunzhong City above Chang'an, Kong Qing looked ashamed and put a tray with plain clothes in his hand.
He handed it to Mrs. Shangyuan.
"Shangyuan, your clothes and clothes have been found for you..."
"It's so fast. Lang Jun is really fast!"
Mrs. Shangyuan took the tray from Kong Qing's hand with a happy face. She determined the authenticity and quantity of the items with a single glance of her mind, and then handed the tray to the maid on the side.
"These clothes are already dirty, take them and burn them all!"
"yes!"
The maid took the tray, saluted Mrs. Shangyuan and Kong Qing, and then left the room.
"..."
Although Kong Qing had expected it before, he saw with his own eyes a well-made seamless robe that was no worse than the sword and Taoist robe of the same style he wore. It was considered a good thing in Kong Qing's lottery system.
After being burned so lightly by Mrs. Shangyuan, Kong Qing still felt a little heartbroken.
These second-generation immortals from landlords are so extravagant
