If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.
Chapter 463 Dragnet
Chapter 463 Dragnet
The old monk looked very ordinary, neither too old nor too young, probably in his forties.
He was of medium build, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with a face that was neither round nor pointed, neither big nor small, with ordinary facial features, neither ugly nor handsome, and hair that was neither long nor short. He was wearing a khaki-colored black robe that was neither new nor old.
Putting this monk in the crowd, he is not conspicuous at all.
When riding a horse past this monk, no one would even pay him a second glance.
Wen Danxia carefully looked at the whip wounds on his body and found that they were neither light nor too serious. It would make it difficult for him to walk, but it would not threaten his life.
Everything about this monk is just right.
——This monk is not simple!
Even though he didn't sense any strong aura from the other party, in fact, he didn't even detect any internal strength.
But Wen Danxia already regarded him as an extremely dangerous person.
"Monk, do you know where this place is?"
The monk was carried in by servants on an old door panel. When he met the hostess, he forced himself to stand up, endured the tearing pain in his wounds, bowed respectfully to the person sitting above, and then stood below with his hands hanging down, looking like an honest monk.
"This is the Guan Mansion, the most famous aristocratic family in Yingxiang Prefecture. I am terrified."
Wen Danxia sneered and said, "Since you know this is Guan Mansion, don't you know the methods of my ancestors?
If you dare to plot against my family, you will have more than ten lives to live."
Upon hearing this, the monk immediately showed a look of panic, "Madam, how dare I plot against Miss Guan?
At that time, Miss Tianfeng was furious and wanted to beat the monk to death.
In order to survive, I had to tell the truth about Miss Tianfeng's fate.
If Madam doesn't want to listen, please release me immediately.
I swear that once I leave the Guan family, I will never tell anyone about what happened today. "
After saying that, he turned around and limped out.
Guan Tianfeng next to him immediately became anxious.
If her mother hadn't been by her side, she would have screamed.
Wen Danxia sighed, "Master, come and sit down and have a cup of tea."
The monk turned his back to the mother and daughter, and a strange smile appeared on his extremely ordinary face, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a mask that said "I am an honest monk."
He stopped and walked back to Wen Danxia, but he did not sit down in the seat below her, nor did he touch the tea bowl on the small coffee table.
"Madam, I will not hide the truth from you. I and that Yu Fengxian—"
"It's Sha Manyu!" Guan Tianfeng shouted.
The monk immediately changed his words and said, "I have a great grudge against Sha Manyu.
Even if I have other motives, it is only to seek revenge on Sha Manyu.
Madam, you don't have to doubt my sincerity at all."
Wen Danxia was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you one of the 'Eight Immortals of the West'?"
Guan Tianfeng's expression changed, and he looked at the monk with shock and vigilance.
The monk's eyes sparkled, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Fairy Danxia, you are indeed a woman of great talent and a heroine."
Wen Danxia sneered: "At least I'm not a fool. I won't do stupid things without thinking about the consequences just because someone tells me to."
The monk smiled and said, "Madam, please allow me to ask you a question."
"You said."
The monk asked, "Do you think, given the hatred between Sha Manyu and Xi Baxian, would Xi Baxian be willing to pay a huge price to get rid of her?"
Wen Danxia said: "It depends on how you say and do it. If you just talk nonsense and intend to sit back and watch the Guan family and Yu Fengxian fight to the death, it means you don't hate her that much."
The monk sighed and said, "I have risked my life to enter Yingxiang Mansion.
If I were discovered, I would be dead.
Doesn't this show determination?
I asked you the question just now just to make one thing clear - for Yu Fengxian, our only wish is her life. We don't care about her immortal bones, her spirit sword, or her immortal martial arts secrets, and we don't need them."
The wariness in Guan Tianfeng's eyes disappeared and was replaced by joy.
Wen Danxia pursed her lips, her expression becoming even more gloomy, "What do you mean by fairy bone?"
"What else could it mean? Didn't I tell Miss Tianfeng clearly?"
The monk chuckled and said, "Don't mention me. I suspect Sha Manyu himself, and I know the truth in my heart."
Guan Tianfeng panicked and asked nervously, "Old monk, are you saying that Sha Manyu already knew that we were going to dig out her sword bone in Longtou Town that day?"
"Shut up!" Wen Danxia shouted, glaring at her daughter, "Stand aside and shut your mouth tightly."
Since there were outsiders around, Guan Tianfeng did not argue with her mother. Although she looked unsubmissive, she kept her mouth shut.
The monk smiled and said, "The Guan family is indeed a family of strict rules. They are a family of virtue and kindness."
"How dare you stand in the Guan family's inner house and mock the Guan family?" Wen Danxia said coldly.
The monk shook his head and said, "I am speaking the truth, without any sarcasm.
There are definitely selfless gods in this world, but there are even more evil spirits.
What's a mere bone replacement?
I have seen many righteous gods canonized by the Heavenly Court directly asking believers for blood food!
The "blood food" they eat is not pigs, sheep, chickens, or ducks, but living people, especially young children.
Guan Chenghuang has protected millions of people in Yingxiang Prefecture for more than a hundred years. He has always been conscientious and diligent. He has never harmed good people or protected evil people. Now he only wants to take the bones of a lowly Shaman.
Madam, you can think about it from another perspective.
A prefect in the human world has been an official for his entire life. He has never embezzled a single ounce of silver and has never committed any major mistakes. He only forcibly took away the daughter of a poor family. Wouldn't people praise him for being honest, fair, strict with himself, and a virtuous person?
Hehe, look at those officials who have gained the reputation of being 'fair, honest, and strict in family management'.
How many of them can reach the standard that I have described and that Guan Chenghuang has achieved?"
Wen Danxia said calmly: "I fully agree with this, a mere barbarian bastard is worse than a dog.
It was her blessing to be able to exchange her cheap bones for the noble Miss Guan. She should kneel down and express gratitude.
But it’s useless for me to think so and for you to tell me so. You have to convince my ancestors.”
The monk was not panicked at all, and said with a smile: "If you want to persuade the Guan family's ancestor, isn't Madam more experienced?
Once some things are done, there is no way to go back. You must continue to do them, do them well, and do them successfully.
Otherwise, you won’t be the only victim.”
Wen Danxia also laughed, "You want me to act first and report later, and force my ancestor to take action? Do you think I'm stupid?"
The monk groaned and said, "If you fail, you will be a fool. I promise that Madam will not fail."
"Where is the guarantee? I didn't see it." Wen Danxia said.
The monk said, "It's the same question as before. Based on Madam's wisdom, how determined do you think we, the Eight Immortals of the West, are to avenge Sha Manyu?
I can answer this question myself with infinite determination.
Yu Fengxian will die today!
This is Yingxiang Mansion, the territory of Guan Chenghuang and the Li family.
We have the confidence and power to kill Yu Fengxian, and we can kill her now.
However, if we fail to communicate with Guan Chenghuang and the Li family first, the matter will get out of hand and it will not end well.
No one wants to pay too high a price, not my wife, and not us either.
If we join forces, we can all achieve what we want.
We will quietly put an end to Sha Manyu's life, and you will quietly take away all her "immortal fate".
You are good, I am good, and everyone is good. Only when everyone is good can it be truly good. "
Wen Danxia asked, "Do you, the 'Eight Immortals of the West', dare to go to the Li family?"
The monk laughed and said, "Don't talk about 'dare or not'. It is quite normal for the Eight Immortals from the West to look for the Li family. It is not surprising at all.
Not to mention that we are looking for the Li family, the Li family themselves have never given up on secretly contacting us.
Let’s not talk about the Bagua Tianshi Talisman, let’s just talk about the Ghost Kingdom of Guaizi Mountain.
Guess how many times we have discussed privately with the Li family, the dignitaries of Yingxiang Mansion, and even with your ancestors?
With Madam's knowledge, you wouldn't think that the 'Shudong Heroes Conference' was just a rash decision by Guan Chenghuang and Li Xianzhi, right?
It’s just that the differences were too great and we couldn’t reach an agreement.”
"Can we reach an agreement now?" Wen Danxia asked.
The monk nodded and said confidently: "Things are different now, we will definitely be able to reach an agreement today."
Wen Danxia picked up the tea bowl and said, "Come back to me when you have reached an agreement."
The monk smiled and nodded, "Madam, please wait a moment. At this moment, in the Rongqing Teahouse on Jixiang Street, Xuanyin Zhenren from Wanshou Mountain was chatting with Yu Fengxian and Li Rongji.
We have to wait for the prince to return to Yonghe Palace, probably in the evening, when it’s dark, so we can act.”
"Master Xuanyin." Wen Danxia's expression changed slightly, "Can you still convince the immortals of Wanshou Mountain?"
"No." The monk sighed and said, "If I really meet Master Xuanyin, I will be very embarrassed.
Of course, Master Xuanyin also felt annoyed.
We don't have to consider his attitude.
Even if he stays in Yingxiang Mansion, he will not get involved in the feud between us and Sha Manyu."
Wen Danxia stared at the monk, "I have one last question. Who are you and why do you say you can kill Yu Fengxian right now?"
The monk smiled strangely, "Just as Madam thought."
Wen Danxia's expression changed drastically, her body trembled slightly, her hands were so nervous that she could hardly hold the tea bowl, and her eyes were full of vigilance and fear.
The monk asked, "Madam, can you see the sincerity and determination of the 'Eight Immortals of the West'?"
Wen Danxia said in a hoarse voice: "Yu Fengxian will die this time. This is God's will."
"Yes, that's right. This is God's will and God's will cannot be violated. Madam is just following God's will." The monk smiled.
Wen Danxia put down the tea bowl that represented "seeing off the guest", tried to calm down, and said with a gentle smile: "Master, I really want to keep you for lunch.
But if I act too close to you, my family will get suspicious.
If the family members are suspicious, the ancestor must know. Master, do you want to meet the ancestor at this time?"
The monk said, "After I meet the prince and get the promise from the Li family, I will come to see the madam."
Wen Danxia looked at him dimly, and said, "Master, please be careful. Even if you have met the Crown Prince, don't alarm my ancestor."
The monk seemed to be thinking about something.
Wen Danxia's determination to seize Yu Fengxian's immortal bones is greater than the determination of the "Eight Immortals of the West" to kill Yu Feng.
She must involve Guan Chenghuang in the game and not allow any accidents to happen.
To prevent any accidents, we must first cut off all of Guan Chenghuang’s escape routes.
Now that the matter has been settled, there will be no room for compromise between the Guan family and Yu Fengxian, and one person from both sides will die.
At that time, even though Guan Chenghuang was cautious by nature and unwilling to take risks, he would definitely not be willing to be killed by Yu Fengxian.
——What a cruel woman! It’s unlucky for the Guan family to marry such a daughter-in-law. It’s not unfair for the Guan family. This woman’s grandfather is Madam Guan’s son and the grandson of Guan Chenghuang!
"Ma'am, don't worry. With my skills, as long as I don't take direct action and don't explode with my strength, even the City God won't be able to detect the slightest abnormality." The monk said confidently.
"What about the prince? Will he look for my ancestor immediately?" Wen Danxia narrowed her eyes and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the biggest reason why the master persuaded the prince is that the Guan family is greedy. They covet her sword bone, and they are afraid that Yu Fengxian will seek revenge on them, so they want to deal with Yu Fengxian in advance.
The Li family only needs to ignore it and does not have to bear any responsibility or risk.
The prince must have wanted Yu Fengxian to die a long time ago. Wouldn't it be fun to watch her die tragically without paying any price?
Even if Wen Danxia and Guan Chenghuang failed, it would only be the Guan family that was wiped out by Yu Fengxian, and the Li family was not involved at all, so there was no loss. "
Wen Danxia said quietly, "If you tell the prince this, he will definitely go to my ancestor first to confirm whether this is true."
Guan Tianfeng's eyes were red with anger, and he almost couldn't help but yell at the monk.
