Chapter seven hundred and twentieth eight true and false
ps: Thank you to the book friend who gave me the reward of 60,000 starting coins. Congratulations on becoming the master of this book.
Things in the world are real and fake, fake and fake, and there are countless news coming every day, but for most people, they would rather believe it than not.
For example, some news has spread in the world recently. Chu Xiu of the Hidden Demon lineage and the saint of the Moon Worship Cult all went to Longhu Mountain to snatch a divination master named Yuan Ji. As a result, they also attracted
The little heavenly master Zhang Chengzhen intervened to stop him. The reason was a treasure calculated by the other party, a treasure hidden in the Dong family.
Some people say that this treasure is a peerless sword technique in ancient legends, one of the seven great sword techniques that can swallow the heaven and destroy the earth, so it attracted Chu Xiu, who uses the sword.
Some people say that this treasure is the innate Gu insect born from heaven and earth in ancient legends, so it is coveted by the saint of the Moon Worship Sect.
Some people even say that what the Dong family actually possesses is the secret code left by Lu Chunyang, the founder of the Taoist sect in the past. As for why Lu Chunyang's secret code is not in the Chunyang Taoist sect but in the Dong family, no one knows.
Anyway, the news is getting more and more weird, and there are all kinds of things, and this matter is not just fabricated, but there are countless witnesses.
Many people saw that battle. Chu Xiu even fought against Zhang Quanzong and Zhang Chengzhen from the Tianshi Mansion, and fought to a draw with him. They were tit for tat. In the end, the Saint of the Moon Worship Sect got involved, but she seemed to have been eaten by Chu Xiu.
deflated.
During the investigation, Yuan Ji's identity became clear. Although he is known as the best physiognomist in Beiyan, in Beiyan, the power of Taoist sects is pitiful, and there is not even a Taoist temple that can handle it.
None.
Sixty percent of the power of Taoist sects in the world is in Eastern Qi, three and a half in Western Chu, and the remaining half is in Beiyan. Therefore, although Yuan Ji is known as the number one fortune teller in Beiyan, he can actually be compared with him in the world.
Although there are not many, there are still some who can be called by name.
Chu Xiu, Zhang Chengzhen and the Saint of the Moon Worshiping Cult fought over such a guy. Apart from what was mentioned in the news, no one else could think of any other reason.
Although there are many doubts in this news, for example, since the Tianshi Mansion knew that Master Yuan Ji had calculated the Dong family’s treasure, why didn’t they control him and bring him to the Tianshi Mansion, but let him continue wandering under Longhu Mountain?
?
For example, since the Moon Worship Sect also knew the news, why did they have to ask the Saint of the Moon Worship Sect to come? Any one of the nine great witch priests would be able to do the job more efficiently than her.
There is also Chu Xiu, he is in Beiyan, and no one in Xi Chu has heard about it. How did he know the news and come here in advance?
What's even more bizarre is the news itself. Everyone knows that if you want to be a fortune teller, it's best to keep your mouth shut.
As a result, Yuan Jibu figured out the news that the Dong family had a valuable treasure, and he foolishly leaked it. Could it be that as the rumor said, he accidentally let it slip between the beds, and was then raped by his concubine's cousin?
The second aunt’s little aunt was leaked?
Although this news was unreliable to the extreme, as the saying goes, it is better to believe it than to believe it. Therefore, in just over ten days, the attention received by the Dong family has skyrocketed.
At this time, in a small town near the Dong family, Chu Xiu was taking Master Yuan Ji to eat in a box.
The Tianxia Alliance acted swiftly as expected. They just spread a message. Xie Xiaolou didn't even tell Emperor Chen Qing. He just found a few deacons from the Tianxia Alliance and the matter was done immediately without leaving any trace.
This is the role of local snakes. Even if Chu Xiu wants to create this kind of momentum in Beiyan, he has to join forces with the imperial court, but the Tianxia Alliance has done it easily.
Yuan Ji on the side picked at the food and wine on the table, a little disgusted.
The chefs in small places are just not that good, their craftsmanship is too trendy.
At the same time, he still had some resentment towards Chu Xiu. It was just a design, so why did he drag him along?
After all, Yuan Ji is considered a figure in the world, but now his reputation is completely ruined. Who dares to come to him for fortune-telling with a fortune teller who doesn't speak strictly?
Of course, although he had some resentment, he did not dare to express it to Chu Xiu. Instead, he gave Chu Xiu a glass of wine and said, "Sir, the Dong family is probably confused at this time. When are you going to take action?"
"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said calmly: "It's not over yet. The Dong family is one of the nine aristocratic families. How can someone kill people and seize treasures so easily?
A piece of gold held in the hands of a child will attract other people to covet it, but holding it in the hands of a strong man will only make people drool with envy and envy.
Of course the Dong family is not a child, but a strong man, and a strong man holding a knife."
Yuan Ji thought for a moment and said, "Sir, are you going to remove the Dong family's sword first?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "No, first let the gold in his hand turn into Qibao Glaze, and then attract a group of strong men with knives, as well as greedy hungry wolves!"
………………
Within the Dong family, Dong Qikun, the ancestor of the Dong family, and more than a dozen elders and powerful warriors of the Dong family all stared with confused expressions.
The news in the world has spread so much in the past few days that when it reached the Dong family, everyone in the Dong family was confused.
Since when did our family have such a treasure? It’s the Seventh Limit, the Sky-eating Insect, they haven’t even seen a caterpillar, okay?
However, the rumors spread outside were so true that they even made the Dong family a little suspicious.
A deacon of the Dong family couldn't help but asked: "Ancestor, does my Dong family really have the seven limits of the most powerful sword skills in ancient times?"
The face of the ancestor of the Dong family suddenly darkened, and he threw a tea cup over and shouted angrily: "Are you a pig head? Do you believe what others say? If my Dong family really had this level of swordsmanship, I would have taken it long ago.
Come out to train for everyone, you should have surpassed the Shangshui Ying family and become the head of the nine great families, why are you hanging around here?"
The Dong family's deacon shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything.
In fact, it’s hard to talk about this kind of thing. Don’t think that there are no selfish motives in the family. If someone gets the skill and hides it and practices it for himself, either for fame, wealth, or power, these are common things, and it wouldn’t be surprising.
Everyone in the Dong family is suspicious.
The ancestor of the Dong family looked around and said in a deep voice: "Put away those little thoughts! Let me say it again, those rumors outside are completely false!"
After saying that, the ancestor of the Dong family glanced at Dong Qikun and said: "Qi Kun, let people release the news. Just say that the rumors are nonsense. You can't believe it at all."
Dong Qikun nodded and immediately arranged for someone to do it.
After everyone else left, Dong Qikun frowned and said: "Ancestor, what is going on? Who is plotting against my Dong family? What are the benefits of doing this?"
These gossips do no harm to the current Dong family, but it is just a little troublesome to be spied on all day long.
So the person who spread the rumors is just here to disgust the Dong family?
The ancestor of the Dong family shook his head and said: "I don't know, there are quite a few people in the West Chu Jianghu who have grudges against my Dong family. Who knows who is responsible for this?"
At this time, Dong Qikun suddenly said: "Could it be Chu Xiu? He himself was also a participant in this matter. Besides, he insisted on trading the She Shen Jade a few days ago, but was rejected by us. Did he have a grudge and did it?
Come out like this?"
The ancestor of the Dong family thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem like it. If it is Chu Xiu, then the saint of the Moon Worshiping Sect is also suspected, and the Moon Worshiping Sect is even more suspected than Chu Xiu.
After all, my Dong family is now on the side of the Righteous Sect and is the enemy of the Moon Worship Sect.
And although Chu Xiu is a junior, it has to be said that he can become the heir of the Yinmo lineage, and even the only hero of the younger generation who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Little Heavenly Master. He still has some magnanimity.
He has done things to benefit himself at the expense of others, but the current matter is purely to harm others. His mind should not be so small, right?"
Dong Qikun also nodded. What the ancestor said makes sense, but if it wasn't Chu Xiu who did it, who else could it be? In short, this matter is a bit confusing, so the Dong family should be careful for the time being.
In the following days, the Dong family made it known to the world that this incident was completely false, but obviously many people in the world did not believe it.
If you say there is no money, then there is none. Who will believe it? Many people even think that the Dong family does not have three hundred taels of silver here.
At this time, Chu Xiu was hiding around the Dong family, observing everything silently, and at the same time, he was also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to add fuel to the fire to the Dong family.
The Dong family is close to Shiwanda Mountain. There is no big state capital nearby. There is only a small city called Jicheng. It is relatively prosperous. There are also many people from the world of Jianghu who trade some elixirs obtained from Shiwandashan.
, or some rare treasures and other things.
Compared with some elixir shops, it is actually more cost-effective to buy some rare elixirs from here and refine them yourself than to go to the elixir shop to buy the finished elixirs.
Of course, not everyone knows much about elixirs, and there are many profiteers who use fakes to fool people.
At this time, a young man in Chinese clothes, about seventeen or eight years old, was looking at the street vendors selling herbal elixirs in the market, wanting to make a move but not sure.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he looked like he came from a noble family. He was obviously not in the same style as these rough-and-tumble warriors. But in fact, apart from his identity and clothes, he was no better than these casual warriors.
He is a disciple of the Dong family in Gaoling, named Dong Yuncheng. He is also a direct descendant of the Dong family. To be more precise, he is a direct descendant of the past.
The direct lineage of the Dong family is not fixed. Everything is calculated based on strength. If your lineage is strong, you are the direct lineage. On the contrary, if your lineage has no strong people, you are the collateral lineage.
Dong Yuncheng's lineage was once the head of the family, but since then there have been no masters. His father's strength is pretty good, and he even competed with the current head of the family, Dong Qikun, for the position of head of the family. Unfortunately, he died halfway due to an accident.
He is the only one left in the first lineage, so although he is called the direct lineage, his life is actually not as good as that of the collateral lineage.
