Chapter 164 Secret
Northwest corner of the inner city.
A square pavilion stands tall, with a golden bell hanging from the eaves of each floor, making a crisp tinkling sound from time to time in the cold wind.
On one of the floors of the pavilion, on the wooden sign hanging in the middle, there are the words “in charge of Xuanting, wonderful words and secrets”.
Xuanji Pavilion! At this time, in a very simple room located on the top floor of the pavilion, several figures in black robes gathered together.
“how?”
“A glance at the secret revealed that it was indeed correct. The destruction of the He family was due to fate.”
Han Guang said calmly.
Cheng Houhua grinned and said: “The destiny of heaven cannot be violated, but many times it is too blurry and difficult to see clearly. Sometimes it makes it seem specious. Not only does it fail to comply with the destiny, but it goes against the destiny.”
Han Guang chuckled and said: “This is what is called God’s will tricking people. If we can really see clearly all the secrets and destiny, then we don’t need to call it Xuanji Pavilion. Wouldn’t it be better to call it Destiny Pavilion instead?”
Speaking of which.
He looked at another figure and said, “Deacon Liu, how about the Purple Mist Mountains?”
Then he saw the third figure in black robes. His face was full of wrinkles and he was obviously much older. At this time, he said in a deep voice: “Yan Jingqing is not that easy to fool. He used tricks on the people of the He family. Although our people They responded in time, but there were still heavy casualties, and even He Wuyou was seriously injured.”
“Expected.”
Cheng Houhua leaned back, leaned against the wall, and said, “If Yan Jingqing was so easily manipulated, he would no longer be Yan Jingqing. It’s a pity that the He family is so useless that they didn’t even test out Yan Jingqing’s backhand.”
“Um.”
Deacon Liu nodded slightly and said: “Right now, I only know that Meng Danyun, the true successor of Lingxuan Peak of Qixuan Sect, came to Yu County. She was the one who attacked the He family. I don’t know if there are others.”
Han Guang was leaning next to a wooden table. He didn’t speak at this time, but showed a pensive look. After a while, he said: “Let’s not talk about Meng Danyun for the moment. That Chen Mu is really a bit strange. According to the intelligence, this person has risen.” The process is very bizarre, and I don’t know how this person practiced to get to the current state. Even the He family used the Blood Fiend Explosive Flame Arrow this time, but they couldn’t kill this person. “
Cheng Houhua couldn’t help laughing when he heard this, and said: “Are you worried that this person will affect the future situation? But haven’t we divined this person’s fate before? We divined it three times, and there was nothing weird about it.”
Han Guang said in a deep voice: “Fate divination is inherently vague. When it comes to the specifics of an individual, and since he has not taken the initiative to ask for divination, it is even more unpredictable. Originally, this time I wanted to eliminate some possibilities. The factors that affect Tianji’s results are still unexpected, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.”
“Then let’s do it again.”
Deacon Liu said calmly: “This time I will use my hard work to ask questions to see what the destiny is.”
Although Chen Mu is only a small local figure, he is indeed the most eye-catching one in the entire Yu County, and his path to rise is indeed a bit strange. His resume before the age of twenty was almost useless, and then he suddenly started practicing martial arts. , showing a talent that is close to that of the sect’s true successor, he has reached what he is today in a short period of time.
It is impossible for this situation not to attract the attention of Xuanji Pavilion, but after several divination attempts on Chen Mu, no ‘fate’ was divined from Chen Mu, and there was no backlash, indicating that Chen Mu’s fate should belong to A very ordinary type, not the kind of destined person who might affect the situation.
It’s just that the secret is ultimately vague and unpredictable, and it can’t be completely determined based on these alone.
“Is this… necessary?”
Cheng Houhua glanced at Deacon Liu.
Divination with one’s own blood would mean paying the price of one’s own life. He didn’t think that Chen Mu was worthy of Deacon Liu. Although his talent was indeed good, and he looked like a true disciple of the sect, let alone the current Chen Mu. No, what if it really becomes the true successor of the Qixuan Sect in the future? The Qixuan Sect has not been around for a long time, and its disciples are weak. Only one Taixuan Peak true successor can be used, and the others are just mediocre, like Meng Danyun. , and was never taken into consideration by him.
Even judging from the divination of the Qixuan Sect by the elders of the sect, the future fate of the entire Qixuan Sect is very slim.
“It will make you feel more at ease if you confirm it.”
Deacon Liu slowly took out a stack of tortoise shell divination tools, then closed his eyes. His whole body gradually connected with the heaven and earth, and an invisible qi blended into the space between heaven and earth.
In just a short period of time, one more wrinkle appeared on his face that was visible to the naked eye.
A moment.
Deacon Liu threw out the tortoise shell, opened his eyes again, shook his head and said, “I still don’t see anything unusual about this person’s fate, but it does last a long time, so he is not a short-lived person.”
Cheng Houhua and Han Guang looked at each other, then shook their heads slightly.
“Is this the type of ‘life should not be taken’? No wonder he is able to escape from crisis time and time again.”
There are actually many people with long lives.
Any beggar on the roadside may be a person with a long life. If you want to kill him, various accidents will always happen and lead to failure. Of course, it does not mean that you cannot kill him. As long as you induce him a little, let him destroy his own. Destiny, it can be solved casually, or it doesn’t matter if you kill it forcefully, it just means that the effort and reward are often not proportional.
After all, in order to kill an ordinary beggar, and reveal a flaw, and be stabbed by the Xueyinlou assassin lurking aside, the price paid is too high, so when encountering such a situation, people usually do not use force. But let nature take its course.
“Since there is nothing strange about fate itself, just let it take its course.”
Deacon Liu put away his tortoise shell, the wrinkles on his face piled up, and said: “On the day when the world is overturned, anyone who wants to disobey the destiny, whether it is Yan Jingqing or the Qixuan Sect, will be nothing more than a mantis using his arms as a chariot.”
……
Located at the top of the pavilion, under the eaves, what no one noticed was that a figure wearing tattered monk robes was lying there at some point, holding a wine gourd in his hand, showing his crooked yellow teeth while drinking. .
Suddenly, as if he noticed something, he took out a pile of tortoise shells in his right hand, glanced at it, and flicked one of the pieces to make it spin, then put it aside and continued drinking.
After a while.
He wiped his mouth and sat up.
“Some young guys still want to ask about something that even an experienced person wouldn’t have the chance to calculate.”
“But there are really a lot of people whose fate is uncertain in Yuzhou. There are more people than Xuanzhou, Qingzhou, and Hanzhou. I don’t know how many people have been granted the title of marquis, and how many people have been called kings. I can’t see through it, guess it, or figure it out. I don’t know… Hehehe, troubled times are coming, and the secret of heaven is finally in chaos.”
Said.
The old Taoist took out a greasy and tattered book, licked a brush in his mouth, dipped it in some saliva, and made a few strokes. Then he put the book away, took a step forward, and disappeared into the Xuanji Pavilion. Above the eaves of the pavilion.
During the whole process, no one noticed, either the people in the Xuanji Pavilion below or the passers-by in the streets far away.
……
Although Yu County has four major sects stationed in it and has become a place where the Qixuan Sect and the four major sects are fighting openly and secretly, the He family is one of the four major families that has ruled Yu County for hundreds of years. Its demise in one day is after all It still caused a shock in Yu County, not only affecting Yu City, but also spreading to various counties.
In fact, as early as after the four major sects moved in, many people with higher status judged that it was only a matter of time before the four major families had trouble. After all, it was definitely not a good thing to fall into the conflict between the four major sects and the Qixuan Sect.
Just didn’t expect it.
The downfall of the He family would come so quickly and suddenly.
Rather than being destroyed by the Qixuan Sect or the Yu family, it would be better to say that it was destroyed by the hands of Chen Mu, the director of the Supervisory Department! As early as when Chen Mu was promoted to the Supervisory Department, many forces attached to the He family felt that the situation was very bad, and they were a little worried all day long. However, since then, Chen Mu had not made any movement, and he did not deliberately target the He family. Many people felt calmer, but Yan Jingqing’s repeated beatings on the He family were even more worrying.
……
Nancheng District.
In a certain mansion, Xu Feng, the former Wutongli police officer, was looking at the horizon in a daze.
“He still acts the same as before…”
In the early years, under Xu Hongyu’s instructions, when Chen Mu was given the position of police officer in Wutong, he was not even optimistic that Chen Mu could secure the position of police officer and settle the disputes between the Zheng family, the Nan family and the major gangs, but he Following Xu Hongyu’s orders, he did not make any setbacks. He still tried his best to finish everything he had to do and clear the obstacles for Chen Mu.
What they never expected was that after Chen Mu took office as Chasi, his first move was a thunderous blow. He was so decisive and shocked countless people, and completely destroyed the Zheng family that had been entrenched in Wutong for many years.
While Xu Feng was surprised, it also greatly changed his view of Chen Mu.
Needless to say what happened after that, Chen Mu only served in Wutong for less than a year, but he managed everything in an orderly manner. The gangs that once committed evil were all extremely honest. During Chen Mu’s tenure, he did not Dare to take the lead.
This time.
After Chen Mu took office as the director of the Supervision Division, he remained silent, made no moves, and did not conflict with the He family. But when he really took action, just like he did against the Zheng family, he uprooted them with a thunderous blow!
What really shocked Xu Feng was that it was the He family, which had been in Yu County for hundreds of years. It was far beyond the power of a small country squire like the Zheng family, but still, in one day, Chen Mu’s family was full of people. Execute them to death, completely wipe them out!
once Upon a time.
When he gave up the position of Wutongli Chaosi to Chen Mu, how could he have imagined that a few years later, the He family in the inner city, which was like a behemoth and covered the sky and the sun, would collapse under Chen Mu’s hands.
Until now, an unknown amount of time has passed since he heard the news, and Xu Feng still couldn’t calm down in his heart.
……
Kujo-ri.
In a courtyard somewhere, Yin Hong, the leader of the Chijin Gang, stood there, silent for a long time.
I can still vaguely recall that in my memory, that young man with a slightly immature appearance, wearing a poor official uniform, came to the Chijin Gang to inquire about the Black Crow Cult… In fact, it has only been a few years so far. .
From the poor man in Kujo, to the supervisory department, to the collapse of the entire He family, it was like a dream.
fortunately.
He had no grudge against Chen Mu back then.
In these years, I have been safe and sound in Jiutiao. I maintain a certain tacit understanding with Min Baoyi and live in peace with each other.
