The first thousand three hundred and twelve chapters meet Xiao Zhoushan again
After having fun for a while, Xue Chen introduced Qi Yunshan and his wife to Sister Xuan. When they met, she learned that the person in charge of Taihe Group in Yang'an City was actually a practitioner, which really surprised her. After all, Taihe Group was also a cultivator.
One of the five largest private enterprises in the state and province.
"I met this couple three years ago. At that time, I felt that there was something different between the two of them. They were different from the other people present. They had a calm and gentle temperament. Now I finally understand that it was because of their spiritual practice.
That's the reason." Ning Xuanxuan said.
After meeting Qi Yunshan and his wife, Ning Xuanxuan, who had traveled hundreds of miles, went back to the room to wash up, changed a set of clothes and went out with Xue Chen, planning to eat something.
"I know there is a donkey meat steamed dumpling nearby that tastes very good. How about it?"
Sister Xuan nodded happily: "Okay."
On the way, the two passed by the Qingkou Well with a history of hundreds of years. Xue Chen specifically pointed it out, and it was from this well that a gold box was fished out.
Ning Xuanxuan also knew about this and couldn't help but marvel in her heart: "You are really lucky to be able to salvage such a precious thing from such a well. Even a layman like me knows that the calligrapher Wang Xizhihe
As for the painting sage Wu Daozi, their calligraphy must be very, very valuable."
Is it valuable? Xue Chen is noncommittal, because the value of Chuyue Post and Qinglin Picture cannot be measured boldly with money, and there is no so-called market reference.
"This kind of historical and cultural treasures are basically not circulated and traded in the market. More than 90% of them are collected in museums at the provincial level or above, and the rest are in the hands of super collectors. Even if this collector is financially disadvantaged
If there is a problem and it has to be transferred, it will not be put up for auction with great fanfare. As long as you let the people around you know a little bit, you can easily sell it for a sky-high price."
It is rumored that no authentic works of Wang Xizhi have been passed down to the present. In the past, Xue Chen held a dubious attitude, thinking that this statement may not be absolutely true. Maybe some low-key collector has a collection in his hands? He just did not publicize it.
It just came out. Now he believes in this view even more. The Chuyue Tie may not be the only remaining work of Wang Xizhi.
When the two of them entered the store and just sat down, Xue Chen looked sideways and unexpectedly found that he had met an acquaintance, and those acquaintances also found him. It was none other than several Xiaozhoushan inheritors, sitting there.
The table next door was still headed by Cui Lihua, and Qi Tao, who had a good relationship with Xu Ming. The names of the other three people were unclear.
When they found Xue Chen appearing at the side, as expected, several people in Xiaozhoushan all showed evil looks, wishing to kill someone with their eyes.
"It's you?!" Cui Lihua's face changed leisurely when she saw Xue Chen, her eyes reflected the light of resentment, her voice was sharp, and she did not hide her hostility.
The people of Xiaozhoushan also have reason to hate. If it hadn't been for his interference, most of the Taihe Group would have been in their hands now, which could greatly improve the material life of all Xiaozhoushan people and make their practice more worry-free.
"What a coincidence, dear Taoist friends from Xiaozhoushan." Xue Chen looked as usual, squinting his eyes and saying hello with a little smile.
"Humph, we are very good. We don't need you to pretend to be like this, but it's you. I'm afraid it's not good." The person who spoke was Qi, who was half-cooked by Xue Chen's mutated fireball on the day of the competition.
Tao, after this period of careful treatment, he has recovered to some extent, but the pain left in his heart has not diminished at all, so he strongly requested to come here this time, just to witness the Bai family's brutal treatment in Yulong Cave.
The treatment of Xue Chen.
Xue Chen was too lazy to argue. It was pointless. He glanced at it and looked away.
But the people in Xiaozhoushan couldn't ignore it. They were holding their breath in their hearts and kept talking with sarcastic words and insinuations.
"Evil people will be punished. Tomorrow will definitely be a good show. I hope the Bai family won't hold back. It's best to beat people to death."
"Being beaten to death? I think that's too cheap. It would be more interesting to humbly beg for mercy and apologize in front of comrades from the two provinces."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely record it on my mobile phone. I will take it out and have a look when I am in a bad mood in the future. If I have the chance, I will show it to more people."
Xue Chen has experienced many things and has developed a strong mentality. Naturally, he will not get angry because of the weird words of a few people in Xiaozhoushan. He will just treat it as a few flies buzzing in his ears.
It won't have the slightest impact on him.
But Ning Xuanxuan didn't have such a good temper. She was already worried about what would happen tomorrow. When she saw these people saying such ugly things, she got angry and looked at Cui Lihua and others dissatisfied.
Cui Lihua was always full of resentment, but she didn't want to get angry with Xue Chen. She immediately had an idea after noticing Ning Xuanxuan, especially when she felt that although the other party had a very indifferent aura, he had not even reached the level of crystal refining.
But he dared to show dissatisfaction to them.
"What a courage!"
Cui Lihua yelled angrily, and almost at the same time, a vague black air appeared in mid-air and flew past quickly. It was somewhat similar to the soul-eating nightmare that she had used before, but it was more powerful than the soul-eating nightmare.
Much weaker, it can be said to be a weakened version of the Soul-Eating Nightmare.
Ning Xuanxuan was not able to notice it in time, and even if she noticed it, she would not be able to avoid it. But how could Xue Chen allow Sister Xuanxuan to be harmed when she saw the vague black air coming towards her quickly?
He snorted, and at the same time, a similar mass of black energy came forward.
Snapped.
Two almost identical black masses collided in mid-air, making a faint crackling sound, and then they all dissipated into nothingness, as if they had never appeared before.
Xue Chen's face was expressionless, but Cui Lihua's face changed drastically, with disbelief written all over her face. She stood up with a bang, stretched out her hand, and asked in a sharp voice: "You...how did you get the soul-eating nightmare?"
Say it!"
Soul-eating Nightmare is one of Xiaozhoushan's most top-notch spells. How can you not be horrified when you suddenly see it being used in someone else's hands?
The other four people in Xiaozhou Mountain were also extremely shocked and angry. Techniques are an important part of inheritance, not to mention one of the most important techniques. If it is spread out, it will bring great losses to the inheritance.
It is said that a third-rate cultivation lineage like Xiaozhoushan cannot be accepted even by top-notch cultivation lineages.
Many cultivation inheritances have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, and have gone through many dynasties. If you don't pay attention to the guardianship of inheritance, and a top technique is passed down every thirty or fifty years, then what else will this inheritance have?
Something? destined to fall apart.
Glancing at Cui Lihua, who was a little hysterical, Xue Chen chuckled coldly and sarcastically: "I don't understand what you are talking about, but I also want to ask you, why do you use magic to hurt me casually?
companion?"
"You won't tell? Then I'll force you to tell me!" Cui Lihua was extremely frightened and angry. She must find out the matter. How could an outsider know the soul-eating nightmare technique? Could it be that there is... a traitor, someone is going to destroy the soul?
Has the Soul Nightmare spell been leaked? For a moment, Head Xiao Zhoushan thought of many possibilities.
Realizing that Cui Lihua seemed to be angry and taking action against her again, Xue Chen said with a smile but not a smile: "I heard that people from the capital are also coming. If you are not afraid of causing big trouble that your little Zhoushan can't handle, then
You can just perform your magic in front of so many diners now, of course, I don't care."
A few simple words were like a basin of cold water that calmed down the furious Cui Lihua. Who is coming from the capital? It is not difficult to guess that the capital is the capital of the country, so the people coming from the capital are naturally the ones who represent the country in enforcing the law.
She naturally also knows that the country has departments responsible for managing the affairs of practitioners.
For the national department, maybe those top spiritual inheritances may not care much. After all, the strength as powerful as Mount Tai is there, but Xiao Zhoushan does not have that capital yet. After all, it is just a third-rate inheritance, and the most taboo thing in this department is Mo
The behavior of excessive practitioners affects and harms society and ordinary people.
Glancing at the dozens of diners who were dining around her, Cui Lihua's expression changed a few times, and she slowly calmed down her anger, but the expression on her face became even more gloomy.
Normally, a fifty-year-old kunoichi will look younger due to her training, but Cui Lihua is an exception. Maybe it is because of the wanderings in the past so many years, maybe it is because she has too many hearts for Xiao Zhoushan, but
Her face was consistent with her real age. At this moment, her whole face was twisted into a ball because of the great resentment in her heart, and she had a few earthworm-like wrinkles, making her look even uglier.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. When you fall at the hands of the Bai family tomorrow, I'll deal with you then."
Not even eating, Cui Lihua and a few casual people pushed the door open and left angrily.
Xue Chen himself didn't have much expression. He reached out and rubbed his chin: "Xiaozhou Mountain was originally a branch of the inheritance of Prince Qi's Mansion. Later, it got other inheritances from outside and renamed it Xiaozhou Mountain. It seems that the Zhou of Xiaozhou Mountain is somewhat related to the Zhou of Yinshan people.
ah."
Ning Xuanxuan lowered her head slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes, a little worried about the competition that was going to happen tomorrow: "Xue Chen, you will be fine, right?"
Xue Chen did not answer the question directly, but looked at Sister Xuan with a smile: "Sister Xuan, I am really touched that you are so worried about me." After that, he reached out and held one of her hands.
"Let go." Ning Xuanxuan glanced around unnaturally, and tugged slightly, her eyes shining with moving luster, she snorted, rolled her eyes, and didn't exert any more force. (To be continued)
