After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 284: Tit for tat, a Houttuynia cordata plant that develops spiritual perception!

Faning thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's been so long, I can't remember who first said it. This sword has been kept in our temple. In the autumn of the year before last, Senior Brother Faneng passed away. He loved this sword very much when he was alive. So, Senior Brother Fakong and I discussed it and decided to bury the sword with him..."

Qinzhou's face trembled slightly when he heard this.

He looked at Fanning and said, "In 1979, during the Chinese New Year, if I remember correctly, you returned to Pangpo Village, right?"

"It's been so long, how the hell do I even remember?"

Fanning's eyes widened. This question was indeed a bit difficult for him.

It has been more than 40 years since 1979. Who still remembers where you were and what you did on a certain day 40 years ago?

Qinzhou's eyes were still full of doubt.

Faning raised his eyebrows. "What? You still doubt me? Do you think I stole the sword? Humph, although I am not a gentleman, I still disdain to do such sneaky things..."

"I haven't even seen what the Scarlet Sky Sword looks like, so what's the point of stealing your hammer? Besides, even if I did it, why did I steal such a sword and keep it in the temple for so many years? What's the point? Just so that my senior brother can have a burial companion when he is buried?"

He said this with some excitement.

These words made Qinzhou feel guilty.

Indeed, what does he want?

Ordinary people steal swords just for money, but the value of this ancient sword is completely immeasurable. This hot potato must be sold as soon as possible after being obtained.

It has been so many years and Faning is almost old. It doesn't make sense if the sword is still in Qingniu Temple.

The key point is, does Fanning have the motive to steal the sword?
Qinzhou wanted to find some flaws in Fanning's face, but in the end he was disappointed.

Based on his understanding of Fanning, he certainly didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing.

But who can say for sure about human beings?
Qinzhou is old now and has met all kinds of people, many of whom say one thing to your face and another behind your back.

"After the exchange meeting, I will go to Qingniu Temple with you." Qinzhou said directly.

Faning opened his mouth slightly. He knew that Qinzhou still doubted him.

Now that there is evidence pointing to him, he cannot clear himself of suspicion just by talking.

Helplessly, he nodded, "Okay, when the time comes, ask Brother Fakong, maybe he can give you an answer."

……

-

hotel.

"What? Shaofeng can't be contacted either?"

Ding Lianyun woke up from a nap and Ding Shiqiang hurried over to report.

"Not only Shaofeng, but also Uncle Wu's Bage and Bage's son Shaowei. The hotel surveillance camera captured them going out last night and they never came back. No one is answering the phone now..."

Ding Shiqiang reported carefully, his head covered with sweat. At this moment, he felt terrified.

Wouldn't something happen to them too?
Ding Lianyun's face turned gloomy again. "Do you know why they left?"

Ding Shiqiang just laughed dryly.

Obviously, it's not clear.

But then he said, "I found out that Shaofeng seemed to have a conflict with someone at the exchange meeting yesterday. I asked the organizer to check the surveillance, but..."

"but what?"

"But the surveillance cameras nearby were all broken. It just so happened that nothing was captured during that time period. I think it must have been manipulated by someone..."

As Ding Shiqiang spoke, he glanced at Ding Lianyun tentatively. The old man's expression was gloomy.

Had a conflict with someone?
Can’t contact anyone now?
The on-site surveillance is broken?
All signs indicate that things are not that simple.

At this moment, Ding Lianyun's palms were sweating. The series of accidents that had happened to his family members had already given him a headache. Now if something happened to Ding Shaofeng again, he felt that he would go crazy.

Ding Shiqiang said, "Second Uncle, do you think the Mountain Driving Association is involved?"

He said this carefully.

Although the door was closed and no one was around, he still deliberately lowered his voice.

Ding Lianyun's eyebrows were squeezed together.

Ding Shiqiang said, "The exchange meeting was hosted by the Ganshan Association. For such a large exchange meeting, the on-site surveillance could not possibly be broken, but it was indeed broken. The only people who had the authority and ability to destroy the surveillance were people from the Ganshan Association, and they must have been high-level people..."

Ding Lianyun raised his hand and interrupted Ding Shiqiang.

"Second uncle?"

"Continue to look for Shaofeng's whereabouts and have people keep a close eye on Sihe."

"Yes."

Ding Shiqiang buried his head and dared not speak any more. There were some things he didn't dare to say too much.

Ding Lianyun was silent for a moment.

Does the Mountain-Ganning Association have a motive to take action against the Ding family?

Strictly speaking, yes!

Not only does it exist, but the suspicion is quite serious.

Both presidents were sent from outside and have always been constrained by the Five Sects and Eight Veins, and their Ding family has also caused them a lot of trouble.

King Liu and the other two hope more than anyone else that the balance of the Panshan Realm in Shu will be broken.

And if the Ding family falls, the other families will definitely pounce on them like hyenas and divide up the Ding family's possessions and eat them, and there will inevitably be fights.

King Liu and the other two could sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. They could act according to the situation and then reshape the structure of the Panshan area in Shu.

If this is really the case...

Ding Lianyun took a breath of cold air.

There are so many options, why should we target the Ding family?

Ding Lianyun stood up suddenly, his aura bursting out, like a tiger that had just awakened.

"It has been a long time since I last visited the two presidents. Now that I have come to Shao'e City, it seems that it is necessary for me, an old man, to find these two and have a chat."

……

-

The words are divided into two parts.

When Chen Yang came out of Qingshui Teahouse, it was already four o'clock.

I originally thought that Qinzhou would have a conflict with Faning, but I didn't expect this result. Faning did not admit that he had anything to do with stealing the Chixiao Sword.

They also had no definitive evidence that Fanning had anything to do with the incident.

This is good too. Qinzhou should be happy to see this result.

After all, he and Fanning have a friendship that has lasted from childhood to adulthood.

If it was Fanning who stabbed him in the back, he might not know how to deal with it for a while.

Of course, this does not mean that Fanning has been cleared of suspicion.

The two have agreed to go to Qingniu Temple in Ebei Mountain after the exchange conference.

By then, I'm afraid I'll have to dig up the grave and get the sword.

Faning did not dare to agree to the grave digging immediately. After all, the dead are the most important. Even if he wanted to dig the grave and take the sword, he had to go back and discuss it with his senior brother.

But the trip to Ebei Mountain was a must, and Qinzhou also wanted to ask Yang Wenhui to go along.

By then, with the intervention of the Yang family, the tomb will have to be dug.

As long as he finds the Chixiao Sword, he will naturally be able to clear his name. It won't be too late to find out who stole the sword then.

If the Yang family takes action, the truth will surely come to light.

He also hoped to have nothing to do with Fanning, so that he would not have to break up with Fanning.

……

The exchange meeting will end at 5 pm.

With about an hour left, Chen Yang came to the cultural center alone to catch the last bus and walk around to see if there was anything he had missed.

Some stalls closed early, perhaps because business was not good.

There were still quite a few people in the venue, but compared to yesterday, there were obviously fewer people.

Maybe it’s because the museum is about to close.

Chen Yang did not go to the second floor, as there were only regular shops there, so it was impossible to find a bargain.

Street stalls are still better. Even though the prices here are higher than the sky, you can bargain. If he asks for 10,000, you can give him 50. There is a system to help with the identification, so you can make a profit.

"Handsome guy, stop."

Chen Yang was looking around when a voice called him.

In the corner sat a one-eyed old man.

He looked to be in his sixties. His blind eye was missing an eyeball and was completely sunken. He was dark and thin.

If you look closely, the clothes on this person appear to be very clean, but when worn by this person, they always give people a very dirty feeling.

Chen Yang pointed at his nose and asked, "You called me?"

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Among all these people, is there anyone more handsome than you?"

"Uh……"

Chen Yang paused. If he wasn't thick-skinned enough, he would have been embarrassed.

"I have something good here, do you want it?"

The old man squeezed at Chen Yang with his only remaining eye.

good stuff?
Chen Yang walked over.

There was nothing in front of the old man except a flower pot.

There is a green plant in the flowerpot.

"this one?"

Looking at the things in the flowerpot, Chen Yang's face twitched slightly.

Long vines and broad leaves.

He was very familiar with this thing.

Houttuynia cordata.

There is no need for systematic identification. As a native of Shu, how could he not recognize this thing?
Every meal can’t be missing, okay?
In the flowerpot, on a white and tender vine, there are three or five emerald green leaves that look like pig ears.

It was a Houttuynia cordata.

Houttuynia cordata, scientifically known as Houttuynia cordata.

There are many nicknames, such as Zheergen, Pig Nose, Pig Butt, etc.

In the southwest region, it is a very common wild vegetable that can be eaten cold or boiled.

People who know how to eat it think it is fresh, fragrant and delicious, a rare delicacy; people who don’t know how to eat it will vomit when they smell it, and throw it away like a worn-out shoe and despise it as if it were feces and urine.

Chen Yang was a little amused. This one-eyed man was interesting. He came to the exchange meeting to sell Houttuynia cordata?

"Hey, don't underestimate this thing."

The one-eyed old man pointed at the flowerpot in front of him and said in a serious tone, "Don't underestimate it because it's a Houttuynia cordata. It's not an ordinary Houttuynia cordata. It's a spiritual Houttuynia cordata with intelligence..." "Ahem..."

Chen Yang almost choked on his own saliva.

Got a spiritual Houttuynia cordata?

“Are you kidding me?”

Chen Yang sneered and didn't believe it at all.

"Hey, just watch."

The one-eyed old man had finally caught a customer, and of course he didn't want to let him go easily, so he immediately stretched out his right hand and pinched a leaf of the Houttuynia cordata with his fingernails filled with black mud.

The next second, a magical scene happened.

The leaf seemed to have life, as if it felt pain, and it curled up like a mimosa.

"what?"

Chen Yang's eyes moved slightly.

"How is it? Amazing, isn't it?"

The one-eyed old man grinned, "Don't underestimate this plant, it can do a lot of things. If you play a song for it, it can dance along. Moreover, it is a medicinal herb that is at least fifty years old. It took me a lot of effort to catch it..."

He immediately used the system to identify it.

Because he had left the boundaries of Qishan and Bamianshan, the system could not trigger the atlas, so naturally there would be no rewards, but sometimes, it would still give him some information feedback.

Soon, simple information about this Houttuynia cordata appeared in Chen Yang's mind.

Bullshit spirituality.

It's just that a trace of spiritual perception was born.

Although there is only one word difference between spiritual perception and spirituality, there is a world of difference between them in reality.

Spiritual perception is the foundation of spirituality.

A creature that is born with spiritual perception is like a one or two year old child. It has wisdom and perception, but not much. It is ignorant and confused.

Having spiritual perception is a basic condition for growing spirituality, but it does not mean that having spiritual perception will definitely lead to the growth of spiritual creatures.

There are too many variables in the middle. They need to live longer and need opportunities. Otherwise, even if they are born with spiritual perception, they will just live in a muddle-headedness all their lives.

The difficulty of generating intelligence varies from species to species.

It is naturally the most difficult for plants to give birth to spiritual perception, and it is even more difficult for them to give birth to spirituality and achieve climate.

The Houttuynia cordata in front of me has developed spiritual perception, which is truly rare.

But that’s all. Even if spiritual perception is born, it’s just a dish.

"Well, interesting, isn't it?"

The one-eyed dragon grinned and said, "I don't ask for much. Give me one million and it will be yours."

one million?

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

I’ll buy a Houttuynia cordata plant from you for one million bucks?

Are you crazy or am I crazy?
At this moment, Chen Yang seemed to know why the old man was blind in one eye.

Not to mention spiritual perception, even if it had spirituality, it's not certain that anyone would spend a million to buy such a thing.

Unless you have too much money to burn.

Not interesting.

This old guy has a very black butt.

Chen Yang was just about to retreat when he glanced at it inadvertently.

His eyelids trembled slightly.

A person came down from the escalator not far away.

An old man.

Ding Lianyun.

Such a coincidence?
You didn’t check the almanac before going out, did you encounter this again?

"Handsome guy, do you want it? This is a good thing, it's already very popular!"

At this time, the voice of the one-eyed stall owner drew Chen Yang's attention back.

Chen Yang paused slightly.

Suddenly I felt like I was being stared at by a tiger.

Even if he didn't look back, at this moment, he could guess the source of this feeling.

shudder.

A cool feeling spread from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

"One million is too expensive. I don't have that much money."

Chen Yang tried hard to remain calm and bargained with the one-eyed stall owner, looking embarrassed as if he had no money.

Seeing him like this, the one-eyed stall owner smiled brightly, "Little handsome boy, who can get in here without some money? Don't be so modest!"

"A friend of mine brought me here to see the world. I don't have much money."

"How about you give me a price?"

"One, ten thousand?"

Chen Yang asked tentatively.

The one-eyed stall owner's face twitched slightly when he heard this, "Add some more?"

This price is really cut down, a million is directly reduced by ten thousand.

Chen Yang shook his head, "That's all I have."

The one-eyed stall owner had an embarrassed expression on his face, as if he was making a huge and difficult decision.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, take it, take it. I just think you get along well with me. If it's someone else, I won't sell him."

As if he had lost a lot of money, the one-eyed stall owner kept chattering while packing the food for Chen Yang.

After paying the bill, Chen Yang picked up the pot of Houttuynia cordata and turned away excitedly.

I happened to run into Ding Lianyun.

Ding Lianyun was standing about ten meters away from him, and Chen Yang almost bumped into him.

"Oh, Mr. Ding, what a coincidence?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and almost dropped the flowerpot in his hand.

"Ok!"

Ding Lianyun stared at him and just nodded slightly.

"Ten thousand dollars, and you only bought this thing?"

Her eyes fell on the flowerpot in his hand, and a hint of imperceptible contempt flashed in her eyes.

Chen Yang looked down and said, "Why? Not worth it? The stall owner said that this thing has spirituality. Mr. Ding, you are an expert, can you help me take a look?"

As he said this, he handed over the flowerpot.

Ding Lianyun did not reach out to take it, as if doing so would be cheap.

"It's worth it, very worth it, keep it well!"

Ding Lianyun smiled slightly, but with a hint of joking.

Chen Yang was slightly stunned, then he said happily, "Old Ding said it's worth it, then it's definitely worth it. By the way, Old Ding, you didn't see it just now, this Houttuynia cordata plant is amazing, look..."

Chen Yang pretended to demonstrate to Ding Lianyun.

Ding Lianyun frowned slightly, instinctively feeling disgusted with the young man in front of him.

"Mr. Ding..."

At this moment, a rough male voice was heard.

Chen Yang paused, looked back, and saw someone coming down the escalator.

It was Liu Henghu.

When he saw Liu Henghu, Ding Lianyun frowned.

His face was a little unsightly.

"I wonder what Mr. Ding meant by what he just said?"

Liu Henghu didn't even look at Chen Yang, and asked Ding Lianyun directly.

Ding Lianyun looked at Liu Henghu calmly, "What does Liu Guotou mean? Are you questioning Ding?"

"Don't dare!"

Liu Henghu shook his head, "Please explain it clearly, Mr. Ding!"

Ding Lianyun said with a hint of joking, "Why rush? Wait until the auction tomorrow and we'll know the result!"

Liu Henghu frowned.

Ding Lianyun's eyes were cold. "We, the Ding family, have no intention of being enemies with anyone, including your caravan. If someone wants to make trouble for me, our Ding family will not be polite to him..."

Liu Henghu's face turned cold when he heard this.

The two looked at each other, and their auras collided.

Liu Henghu's realm was not as good as his, and he was obviously weaker, but he was not behind by a single point.

"Humph!"

Ding Lianyun snorted coldly and walked away.

"what happened?"

The two men watched Ding Lianyun walk away without looking at each other. Liu Henghu moved his lips.

He was on the second floor just now and saw Chen Yang and Ding Lianyun bumping into each other. He was frightened and quickly ran downstairs to rescue them.

"It was an accident. Don't worry. In his eyes, I'm just a small shrimp. He can suspect the security guard at the door, but he won't suspect me!"

Chen Yang smiled faintly, "Last night, I dealt with Ding Shaofeng!"

"Cough cough!"

Liu Henghu was almost choked. He turned around and looked at Chen Yang, stunned.

"He's looking for death himself, there's nothing I can do!"

Chen Yang was very helpless, "If you have a chance, please copy a copy of the Ding family's genealogy for me!"

When Liu Henghu heard this, his face twitched and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

What a cruel person!

Chen Yang smiled, a smile that was harmless, simple and sunny.
