In the sixty years since Ou Yegong settled in Duanyang, thirteen wells have dried up one after another, but five of the other six wells have continued to produce water. Only Song Zheng's well has been dry from beginning to end.
Hundreds of years later, the ground beneath Duanyang City shifted, and Ou Yegong's wells could no longer gush out precious water, so he gradually sold off these wells.
Those wells that once produced precious water are very popular, and even though they are expensive, some people are still willing to buy them, but this one has remained until now.
Someone was willing to pay 30,000 yuan for the jade, and Ouye sold it readily.
While the whole city was laughing secretly, there was one person who was shocked and sober.
For any successful assassination, the final moment of the attack may only account for less than 10% of the entire work. A comprehensive investigation must be conducted in the early stage, and the retreat route must be arranged in the later stage to cut off all traceable clues.
No one knows where Snake Eyes is, but for this assassination mission, they not only sent Viper, but also a person in charge to arrange other matters, including the retreat route.
During the entire Duanyang period, he was the only one who witnessed the entire process of Song Zheng's easy counterattack against Viper Yi.
He was sitting in the restaurant next to the tall building last night, with a cold sweat on his back. If it weren't for the fact that he also had an ice heart lock, he might have been discovered by Song Zheng because of his abnormal mood.
And he speculated that the most important reason was that he had no direct "malice" against Song Zheng. He was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and it was Viper Yi who took action.
Viper Yi is the strongest killer in Snake Eyes' "Dark Viper" level. He has successfully assassinated seventeen Heavenly Lords. He possesses the Ice Heart Lock and the Thousand Miles Bow, but he was killed by Song Zheng with one move before he even had a chance to take action.
For such a formidable opponent, do you think he is "too smart and not very capable"?
Stupid vulgar people.
As for warning the major forces in the city? Don't be kidding, they didn't give it to Yuan Yu. Snake Eyes paid for such important information with the death of one of the strongest Dark Vipers. How could he tell them in vain?
…
When Song Zheng woke up the next morning, he could guess what people outside would say about him, but this was exactly the situation he wanted, so he was actually in a good mood.
Du Baihu specially sent someone to buy breakfast: "Sir, try the local food in Xizhou. It is not as good as Dan food, but it has a different flavor."
Song Zheng ate the soup dumplings and drank the unique local rice wine juice. He nodded and praised: "It tastes good. Senior Qi, you should try it too."
Qi Bingchen happened to come in, sat down with a smile, and asked while eating: "What are your plans today?"
"Senior Qi, are you interested? Let's go see the Duanyang Chongdao clan's world-famous 'Seven-fold Mountain Sword'."
There are two heroes in Duanyang City, the Ouye family, the first family in Duanyang, and the Tanzong, the first sect in Duanyang. Except for the obvious strength of these two, the other forces are similar.
The Duanyang Chongdao Clan is one of the many great forces. However, the Chongdao Clan's surname is Chen. The reason why it is called the Chongdao Clan instead of the Chen Clan is because the Chen family practices the "Shan Dao Jue" which specializes in heavy knives.
The lightest magic weapon and sword used by the Dao family's disciples weighs 1,600 kilograms.
And all their children must go through the "Shan Dao Hall" before they can go out and travel around the world. The most famous one in the Shan Dao Hall is the seven-fold mountain sword that Song Zheng said. The first handle weighs one thousand kilograms, the second handle weighs two thousand kilograms, and so on.
Seven handles and seven thousand catties.
The basic sword technique of the Chongdao clan, "Yun Po Feng Qi Thirty-Six Swords", must be used once for each mountain-like giant sword to be considered complete.
Chen Fulong was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the middle of Shan Dao Hall. He was accompanied by eight clan elders from the Chong Dao clan on his left and right.
Directly in front of them is a long slope of sloping stone slabs, sixty feet wide and one thousand four hundred feet long. The stone slabs are carved with countless wild beasts and insects, and every two hundred feet there is a giant carved tiger's mouth, with hangings hanging in the tiger's mouth.
A huge mountain sword.
Today, three disciples of the Chong Dao Clan are going to fight through Shan Dao Hall. The first disciple has already reached the fourth mountain sword, and the third disciple has just reached the second sword.
Chen Fulong has a young appearance and a dignified appearance. His bronze face exudes confidence and perseverance.
His father died mysteriously three years ago in "Onezawa", the most remote area in the south of the Yangtze River. The Chongdao clan was in chaos, and the left and right clans were about to split. It was he who turned the tide and met with eight members of each clan from the left and right clans overnight.
The old man tried his best to persuade most of them: Taiya Shuangzhao has learned from the past experience that once they split, the Zhao family, which had the chance to aspire to be the ancient family, has always been just a medieval family. If they unite, they will benefit both sides, and if they divide, they will suffer two harms;
Using the "Heavenly Sword Technique" he mastered as bait, he finally prevented the Chongdao clan from being split into two, and he became the new head of the family.
After that night, he became famous in Duanyang City, took charge of the Chongdao clan, and held a high and powerful position.
But before that, he was unknown in Duanyang City. When people talk about the most outstanding young monk in Xizhou, their first reaction is "Xizhou Sancai". Who is Chen Fulong? The name sounds familiar, oh, it's a heavy sword.
The son of the head of the family, that's all.
Chen Fulong has always believed that he has extraordinary knowledge and accurate grasp, and will definitely do something good, no worse than Xizhou Sancai. Everything now proves this.
The performance of the three disciples was good. Chen Fulong nodded and smiled: "Not bad, it seems that our Chongdao clan has three more strong men walking around the world."
"Hehehe..." The elder of the Zuo Sect smiled heartily. The three of them today were all disciples of their Zuo Sect.
The Great Elder of You Sect said calmly: "Master, tomorrow Ling'er and the five of them will also attack Shandao Hall, and we will ask the master to preside over it then."
"Okay!" Seemingly unaware of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two clan elders, Chen Fulong just agreed.
The first disciple has passed the fourth level and came to the tiger head statue in the fifth level. The mountain knife in this level weighs five thousand kilograms. He is also very cautious. He takes a deep breath and his spiritual energy flows through the meridians of his body.
, a hazy spiritual light floats and swims throughout the body.
He stretched out his arm, which was as thick as an ancient tree, and grasped the fifth sword with all his strength. He raised the five-thousand-jin giant blade high above his head with one hand with a "squeak" sound.
There were cheers from all around, and Chen Fulong also knocked on the armrest of the chair and praised with a smile: "Well done!"
At this moment, a servant trotted up to me and said, "Master, Long Yiwei's Jiangnan patrol envoy is here."
"Who?" The Zuo clan elder didn't react for a while. Chen Fulong frowned: "Song Zheng." The Zuo clan elder then remembered it and couldn't help but ask, "What is he here for?"
Chen Fulong had already stood up, and tugged at the hem of his clothes with both hands: "Humph, we have already registered at Long Yiwei."
"The two old uncles are here to watch. I'll go deal with him."
The elders of the left and right clans were too lazy to go see the young high-ranking official and said, "That's best. The head of the family should be careful."
Chen Fulong nodded and left, and a young monk followed closely on the road: "Master, shall I accompany you?"
"Okay." Chen Fulong nodded and whispered: "Send someone to inform Ma Daquan secretly." The man nodded, called a disciple of the Chen family and gave the order.
Song Zheng's status was different, and Xizhou was no longer the Huzhou it was before. Chongdao didn't dare to turn him away, but politely invited him to the hall to serve tea.
Song Zheng held the tea bowl and looked at the ancient beams and pillars around him with interest. He nodded and praised: "It is indeed an ancient family. This building must be hundreds of years old."
Chen Fulong happened to walk in: "It's been 1,400 years since this 'Yingjun Hall' was built."
"It's older than I thought." Song Zheng smiled slightly, put down the tea cup and stood up: "Is this the master of the Chongdao clan?"
"Chen Fulong." The head of the family handed over his hand and said, "I have met the Inspector." As the youngest leader among the major forces in Duanyang City, he is confident and self-respecting. His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant. He thinks that he does not have to lower his status to please anyone.
He asked Song Zheng to sit down and asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, are you here today because of the incident in the ancient Huaxu Kingdom?"
Song Zheng: "Yes, please ask the head of the family to explain the matter in detail."
Chen Fulong frowned, showed his dissatisfaction a little, and said patiently: "Actually, I have already told Mr. Ma that my Chongdao family also has some profitable businesses, which are all run by the family.
About five days ago, a batch of goods from the ancient Huaxu Kingdom happened to arrive, so I sent someone to hand over the goods and had some contact with some monks from the ancient Huaxu Kingdom. That was all.
Mr. Ma has also inspected that batch of goods and found nothing suspicious. But just in case, I ordered my subordinates not to take action for the time being and to keep it sealed. If you want to see it, I can send it immediately.
Someone will take you there.
However, Mr. Song, although I don’t know what you are investigating, it must have nothing to do with my Chongdao clan.”
Du Baihu stood behind Song Zheng, taking in all the subtle demeanor of Chen Fulong, and secretly sneered: You have not yet experienced my master's methods.
Song Zheng's face was slightly cold and he nodded: "Then please take us to see that batch of goods."
Chen Fulong nodded and said to the monk next to him: "Brother He, take Mr. Song to have a look. There are still some things to deal with at home, so I won't accompany you."
He smiled apologetically and said goodbye.
"Yes." He Yixiong agreed and said to Song Zheng: "Sir, please come with me."
Song Zheng simply nodded, stopped being polite, and followed He Yixiong.
Chen Fulong shook his head, smiled, and returned to Shandao Hall alone.
To the west of Chongdao's main residence, there is a messy courtyard where several caravans of the Chen family live. Most of the houses are actually warehouses.
He Yixiong led them to a courtyard guarded by four monks: "Master Song, that batch of goods is inside."
"Go in and have a look."
More than a hundred wooden boxes with iron bars on the outside were neatly stacked in the house. Du Baihu led people forward and opened a few boxes. Inside were a kind of light black ore with a mica-like luster.
