Strange mountains and rivers

Time goes back half an hour.

Hu Delu came to Oujiazhai overnight with Peng Youshu, Qin Zeju, Sandang Ling, and Liu Liangkui.

Unexpectedly, when I gave Hu Delu a bird ticket to come, he actually brought four people over.

Little Hu Delu actually became the leader of the outer hall?

But looking at the expectant looks of Qin Zeju, Sandang Ling, Peng Youshu, and Zhao Liangkui, Chen Huaisheng also knew that these people should have noticed something.

Hu Delu asked for leave twice and disappeared twice himself. Anyone with a discerning eye would have a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

But Hu Delu made rapid progress after that and jumped into the first house.

But you must know that Qin Zeju and Sandang Ling had been practicing in Jiashe for a long time, but Hu Delu had a very difficult time in Yishe, and now he has become an upstart in Jiashe.

Who was the last upstart in Jiashe? Chen Huaisheng, who was already at the fourth level of Qi Refining and became a direct disciple of the headmaster.

Perhaps in the eyes of a genius like Zhao Sitian, being a direct disciple of the headmaster is nothing, but for an ordinary person like Qin Zeju, whose background is similar to that of Hu Delu, Chen Huaisheng's rise and Hu Delu's following Jiwei are really enviable and jealous. .

And another very obvious change is that after Hu Delu went out twice, he came back obviously much richer, not rich, but wealthy.

It was no secret that Hu Delu had poor bones, but he used bone tempering to repair and improve them. This news shocked Qin Zeju and others.

Bone tempering is not a particularly advanced physical technique, but the problem is that it costs a lot of money.

All kinds of spiritual materials and elixirs required for bone tempering are piled up with spiritual stones.

As for Hu Delu's family background, Zhao Liangkui and Peng Youshu both knew that it was impossible to support such consumption.

What's more, Hu Delu knew from the beginning that his moral integrity was not good, and he hadn't seen any movement for several years. Why did he spend so much money to temper his bones after getting close to Chen Huaisheng?

Zhao Liangkui was from Langcheng, not far from Yanjiao, and Peng Youshu was from Changling, and he was also familiar with Hu Delu's family situation.

Even Peng Youshu's family background is exactly the same as that of Hu Delu. A large clan in a small rural area, the Peng family in the mountains east of Changling can also be regarded as a large squire family.

This kind of country squire is considered prestigious in the secular society, and there is no shortage of gold and silver, but when it comes to these expenses in the world of cultivation, they are completely different concepts.

Hu Delu couldn't even think about tempering his bones without having thousands of spirit stones. He could use the basic monthly routine of twenty spirit stones per month in Waitangjiashe. It was even more wishful thinking to temper his bones through normal channels.

But Hu Delu really tempered his bones. After tempering his bones, he quickly succeeded in the second level of Qi refining, even ahead of the arrogant Zhao Wuyou.

For the other disciples of Jiashe who had little background, this was simply heartbreaking and unbearable.

Especially Peng Youshu and Qin Zeju.

Peng Youshu was the first to get acquainted with Chen Huaisheng, but Hu Delu came up from behind and identified Chen Huaisheng. He was willing to follow Chen Huaisheng's lead, and he gradually fell behind.

Qin Zeju was the first fellow disciple that Chen Huaisheng met after entering Jiashe, but Qin Zeju didn't want to take sides among Yuan Wenbo, Tong Tong, Chen Huaisheng, and Kou Qing, and had a wait-and-see mentality.

The result was that Yuan Wenbo, Tong Tong and the others were not acquainted with Chen Huaisheng, and they all became direct disciples of the sect leader, while he was still lingering in Jiashe.

This regretful thought coiled in my heart like a poisonous snake, biting me all day long.

So when there was a guard at the door and they, the outer disciples, were gathering together with nothing to do, Hu Delu was in a hurry to go out. Naturally, several people couldn't help but stop Hu Delu and refused to let go.

In desperation, Hu Delu could only explain the situation clearly. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. If you want to go, don't stop or hesitate.

Chen Huaisheng didn't have any resentment against these people. Since he was willing to come, of course he was also willing to give them such a chance to experience, but don't blame yourself if you will regret it in the future.

The task given to them by Chen Huaisheng was to take down several members of the Ou family, including Ou Qingde, for examination and put them on standby to obey his orders.

When Chen Huaisheng's roar came, Ou Qingde and the others had already been captured by Hu Delu and the others.

When several Taoist guards faced the monks, they were like eagles catching chickens, without any resistance.

"You are Chonghua disciples, do you know who I am?..."

Ou Qingde was in a state of panic when he was caught off guard before, but soon after he found out that this group of people were all Chonghua disciples, his mood stabilized and he made various sophistry, even when Old Man Su came to testify in person. , couldn't help shouting.

"So what? I just slept with a few women and killed a few people, so what? That is my Oujiazhai and the Ou family's own affairs. This is a matter that the government should take care of. It is not for you cultivators to interfere. Yes, what you have to do is to eliminate demons and defend the Tao!"

"Ou Wan'er outside has turned into an evil ghost. Instead of killing her, you guys tied me up, the leader of the big Ou family, the head of the Ou family in Langcheng, and humiliated me in every possible way. What do you want?"

"Do you really think that no one can control you monks? If you have the ability, kill and silence all the thousands of people in our Ou family village. Otherwise, I tell you, you will have to walk away with nothing to eat!"

"I kindly advise you, don't listen to other people's lies, don't mislead yourself and others, and ruin your bright future in practice. You are also sons of a good family, and the folks in your hometown are looking forward to your success..."

Hearing Ou Qingde keep saying that he and his party should eliminate demons and defend the law, Hu Delu was extremely funny in his heart.

I went out with Chen Huaisheng several times, and experienced several moments of life and death.

Even Chen Huaisheng had already told him Ou Qingde's origins and told him that no matter what the final outcome, Ou Qingde had to die, so he acted very calmly despite Ou Qingde's arrogance.

The Hu family and the Peng family are also big surnames in the countryside. Although the family is big, it is inevitable that there will be some unscrupulous children, and the elders in the family will inevitably bully men and dominate women. But such evil behavior that goes against human ethics, as the leader of a village. Hu Delu and the others were still shocked that the leader of the clan was so plausible and shameless.

"Have you said enough, Ou Qingde, let's take a rest after saying this..." Hu Delu looked at the few people kneeling on the ground indifferently, while Old Man Su also knelt aside and watched everything in front of him anxiously.

"Huh, boy, you will regret it, but if you repent now, it's still too late. You know who I am..." Seeing that the leader of the other party was unmoved, Ou Qingde felt a little frightened and shaken in his heart, but then he became firm again. , "You should think carefully about the origin of the Ou family..."

"Isn't it the deacon Ou Qingchun of our Zhike Academy of the Chonghua Sect?" Seeing that this guy was still chattering wildly, Hu Delu calmly raised the topic, "I know that you and Uncle Ou are brothers, but Uncle Ou has long been Since you have joined our Chonghua sect, I must know very little about you, right?"

Hu Delu lifted the veil calmly, which shocked Ou Qingde and even stuttered his words: "You know how dare you be so presumptuous, my second brother and I..."

"Ou Qingde, we are doing things under the orders of the sect. There is no need to say whether we are wanton or not. If you feel that our treatment of you and your Ou family is considered unscrupulous, then forget it." Hu Delu's tone became calmer, " We are here under the orders of the master's direct disciples, and we don't need you to teach us who to listen to or what to do."

Hu Delu knew that raising this topic would definitely shock Qin Zeju and the others and even shake them, but Chen Huaisheng specifically told him to raise the subject so that he could observe their attitudes.

If people who want to go forward together cannot be like-minded, then they must at least follow the rules and prohibitions, or be aware of current affairs and the general trend, so that they will understand how to choose.

If he cannot do both, then such a person cannot be a companion.

In fact, Hu Delu cannot be regarded as a like-minded person, but he can understand right and wrong, and he can understand the general trend of current affairs, which is enough.

As expected, Qin Zeju, Sandang Ling, Peng Youshu and Zhao Liangkui were all shocked. Is Master Ou the brother of this guy? !

Is Master Ou from Oujiazhai?

Although Uncle Ou is very low-key among the deacons and elders and is not as famous as You Shaoyou, Tong Baichuan, Wu Tianen, Xu Muyang and others, he is one of the five major foundation builders and a deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who dares to ignore him?

"Wait a minute, Delu..." Peng Youshu couldn't help but interjected: "You said Uncle Ou of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is his elder brother, is that true?"

Hu Delu glanced at Peng Youshu and nodded: "It's true, Senior Uncle Ou is originally from Oujiazhai, but we don't need to care about this when we do things. We just follow Senior Brother Chen's instructions..."

Peng Youshu's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice in a low voice: "Senior Brother Chen also knows this?"

"certainly."

"But I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Senior Brother Chen also said that Senior Uncle Ou will arrive later tonight. It would be more appropriate to leave it to Senior Uncle Ou to deal with it..." Peng Youshu hesitated and suggested.

"No, we have heard Senior Brother Chen's instructions and we must obey Senior Brother Chen's orders in everything." Hu Delu knew that Chen Huaisheng was right. Since Ou Qingde would not survive tonight, he would definitely not wait until Ou Qingchun arrived. "Leave it to Senior Uncle Ou, no." Is it difficult for Master Ou to do it?"

"No, Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Sang, Liang Kui, I think we should wait until..." Peng Youshu swallowed.

The other three were silent. Finally, Zhao Liangkui muttered under Peng Youshu's gaze: "Senior Brother Hu also said that he must obey Senior Brother Chen's orders. Senior Brother Chen's orders have not come yet..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Huaisheng's roar was heard: "Hu Delu, do it!"

Hu Delu suddenly changed his color, raised his head as soon as he drew his long sword, "Senior Brother Chen's order has arrived, take action!"

Several people were shocked by this, and Peng Youshu had already shaken his head: "I'm sorry, Delu, I think it's better to wait until Uncle Ou comes..."

"It seems that you are still not reassured that Senior Brother Chen is following orders." Hu Delu shook his head slightly and raised the sword lightly in his hand. In Ou Qingde's horrified eyes, he just said: "You can't..."

The head was cut off directly by this sword. Hu Delu reached out and grabbed the bun on the head. He looked back at the other people ferociously: "Do you want me to say it again?"

Qin Zeju hesitated and raised his sword without dropping it, while Sandeling and Zhao Liangkui both drew their swords and killed the two targets in front of them. Their faces were pale but their heads were chopped off with quick movements.

Hu Delu ignored Peng Youshu who was trying to stop him, and did not take another look at Qin Zeju who was hesitant. Instead, he immediately used his sword to kill the target that the two should have killed, cut off the head and held it in his hand: "De Ling, Liangkui, let’s go!”
