Chapter 31: The Underground Chamber

 The chess game was not as strict as the imperial examination. After a while, a middle-aged man entered the room. He looked like a businessman. He bowed to everyone with a smile on his face and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. This game will be held.

, and this is the beginning."

"Before the game begins, there is a cliché saying, for chess players, playing chess means having no regrets, and for spectators, watching chess without saying a word is like a gentleman."

"It would be embarrassing if we broke the rules and removed the chessboard on the spot. It would be disrespectful to everyone." At this point, the middle-aged man laughed again: "It will also hinder everyone's financial luck, right? - Okay, the chess match will start in a moment, please.

The bettors try to register and pay as soon as possible."

"You can bet here?" Su Ziji was looking for a female voice. After hearing this, he thought to himself: "Am I overly concerned?"

Get up and go to the counter.

"Su Ziji, where are you going?"

"I'll put a bet on you, and no one will put a bet on you."

"Yo yo yo..." Ye Buhui didn't stop shouting, but saw Su Ziji running away quickly.

This fool, he lost everything. See how he went to the government examination. Ye Buhui looked around, then stared at the chess players on the opposite side, his face became solemn.

We must win this time!

"Puch!" Hu Xiyan at the door looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She couldn't help but said to the maid: "I checked, he only has five taels of silver on him. I put all of it on him. Are you confident? Or stupid?"



The maid hurriedly whispered: "Miss, don't laugh. Even though you are covering your eyes, it's ridiculous and someone still hears it - your attitude towards him is always different. Is he the one you are destined for?"

After hearing this, Hu Xiyan stopped laughing and watched Su Ziji go back. Seeing that he was not looking at the chessboard, he took out a book and read silently. She fell into a trance and said, "Probably not. If we are destined to be together,

, my half piece of rosewood must be sensitive."

"That's a bad fate. Miss, please don't fall into love at this juncture - is there no one who can sense you during the entire chess match?"

Hu Xiyan glanced at her but didn't answer. If there was one, she would have found it long ago.

It's just that the secret is obviously in Linhua County, but there is no one there after searching around. Even if it extends to Fucheng, there is no response. This is really strange...

A shadow cast over her heart.

After just thinking about it, the chess competition officially started, and she said unwillingly: "Let's try it again to see if we missed anything."

Linhua County·Tongshan Temple

Tongshan is not high, but even if there is rain, the spring scenery is rich. Every time in this season, there will be women offering incense and worshiping the gods. They are holding umbrellas and laughing on the steps. April is also very suitable for spring outings, and there are also groups of taxis.

Son, bring Meiji's wine and recite poems and write poems.

No one could have imagined that on a long path at the back of the mountain, a person wearing a raincoat was walking away. This person had a fierce face. Although he did not have any men with him, he was somewhat majestic. But at this moment, his face was as dark as water.

With a sad look on his face, he accidentally slipped and grabbed a tree to steady himself. He then cursed: "Damn Su Ziji!"

This person was none other than Zhang Dacuo. On the day when the results were announced, he led his men to surround Su Zi in the restaurant. As a result, Su Zi passed the examination and was admitted as a child. There were noble people to help him, so he had to retreat.

After enduring it for several days, they learned that the two nobles had left the local area, so they had people follow Su Ziji and try to attack Su Ziji. Who would have thought that Su Ziji would soon become involved with the Fang family.

The Fang family not only has the reputation of raising people, but also has the clan as the backing, so it is absolutely impossible for them to dare to do anything by themselves.

If something really happens, if you file a written complaint, the government will send people to kill you. How can your subordinates stop the officers and soldiers?

But Zhang Dacuo is also afraid of the Taoist priest of Tongshan Temple. He knows that Taoist Shen has extraordinary methods. This time he failed, so he can only come and report it alone. He hopes that Taoist Shen will take it for his own efforts and not be too harsh.

With this thought in mind, I arrived at a backyard, walked through the familiar corridor, arrived at a door, and gently knocked on the door.

With a creak, the door opened, and a faint entrance led to the basement below.

Zhang Dacuo's pupils shrank, and even though he had been here a few times, he would feel uneasy every time he entered the basement. This kind of instinctive fear could not be calmed down by constant comfort in his heart.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Dacuo is afraid of Taoist Shen. He dare not say that he has experienced hundreds of battles and fought through mountains of swords and seas of fire, but he is also a person who does not cry out in pain after being cut several times. He can make himself afraid subconsciously, which is definitely not a kind person.< /p>

Thinking of seeing the female relatives when he came, Zhang Dacuo sneered, these people offered incense and prayed for blessings, but who knew that the Taoist priest was actually an evil dragon?

"You're here." In the darkness, Shen Cheng's voice came not far away.

Zhang Dacuo raised the oil lamp and went inside, flattering him and saying, "Taoist Master, I'm here to report something to you. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Since I asked you to come, it's convenient." Shen Cheng said calmly.

With such a cold appearance, he was just like before. Zhang Dacuo took a step forward, but the oil lamp made a "pop" sound and went out without any wind.

Zhang Dacuo was startled and his heart shrank when he heard Shen Cheng say: "Just stand there and don't go any further."

Could it be that Taoist Shen is practicing the technique of not being able to see people?

The woman he saw the last time he came here appeared in Zhang Dacuo's mind. She also entered the secret passage. Although he didn't see her again, Zhang Dacuo didn't think he was mistaken. Now that he thinks about it, could it be that Taoist Shen is still practicing dual cultivation? The art?

No wonder this Taoist temple is so effective in seeking children.

Zhang Dacuo couldn't help but smile, but thinking about the purpose of coming here this time, he quickly suppressed it and said in the direction of Shen Cheng: "Yes."

"You came here because of Su Ziji's affairs? Did you catch him?" Shen Cheng asked.

Zhang Dacuo choked and said to himself, "I still caught him. Now the other party has rushed to Fucheng to participate in the Fucheng examination. His own people can't even enter Fucheng.

The most important thing for the gang is the territory, there is no need to discuss this.

"Taoist Priest, Su Ziji is very cunning. I reported to you that he received help from nobles, but you told him not to move. Although the two nobles have left, they have gained the appreciation of Fang Juren. Fang Juren's clan is quite powerful. I really don’t dare to act rashly, lest I ruin your business..."

"You said, Su Ziji is admired by Fang Juren? The Fang family in Sanqiudu?" Shen Cheng was unhappy. The two nobles before were indeed nobles. He didn't dare to move after just one glance. It can be said that they were strong by Guo Jiang. Dragon.

But the Fang family in Sanqiudu is not small, they are local snakes.

It was still uncertain at first, and I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. Now I can prove that Su Ziji is my target. It is obvious that he has reached the end of his road, and there is still hope for him.

The cemetery has been checked, and no trace of luck can be found at all. Now it seems that it is all in Su Ziji's body.

But the more this happens, the more we must seize it. This is for a great cause.

Shen Cheng was silent for a while and said, "If that's true, I can't blame you for not getting anything done until now."

Zhang Dacuo felt relieved and thought to himself: "It seems that the Taoist master will not blame me this time."
