Chapter 64 Interrogation
The three of them walked out of the door again and waited for a long time before the four city guards came back with Yu Cheng. Judging from their disgraced appearance, it turned out that Yu Cheng, a monk in the Qi nourishing stage, had suffered some losses.
"Miss, this gangster is very cunning, so we will show no mercy and be a bit harsh. Without treatment, he may not live until dawn." The leading Fangshi guard pointed at Yu Cheng and said.
Ming Qingyue frowned and glanced at Yu Cheng, who was covered in blood and unconscious, and then said to the leading guard: "Anyway, according to the rules of the city, people like him cannot be kept. Let's take him back to the mansion for interrogation." "
Then he turned to say goodbye to An Yunhai, and then said to Shi Xuan: "Fellow Taoist Shi, please."
Shi Xuan waved goodbye to An Yunhai and others, and followed Ming Qingyue outside the Qingyu Building.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, are you really going to the Penglai sect to attend the Dharma conference in half a year?" While waiting for the guards from Fangshi to come back, Ming Qingyue happened to talk to Shi Xuan about this topic.
"That's natural, otherwise Shi wouldn't have come all the way to the Three Islands sea area." Shi Xuan said with certainty.
Ming Qingyue chuckled and said, "Heh, fellow Taoist Shi, you might want to call me senior sister in the future."
"Miss Ming, are you also going to attend the Penglai sect's religious ceremony to recruit disciples?" Shi Xuan was surprised at first, and then relieved. The master of the workshop himself is a master of the Penglai sect, and it is reasonable for his daughter to become a disciple of the Penglai sect again. among.
"Don't think wrongly. My father has never said hello to his acquaintances in the Penglai sect. Because of that incident that year, many elders in the sect had a bad relationship with my father." Ming Qingyue saw Shi Xuan's relieved expression, She immediately defended anxiously, she didn't want to be seen as someone who relied on connections to enter the sect, she was very strong!
Shi Xuan didn't dare to ask what that incident was back then, so he changed the subject: "But Miss Ming, you have already broken through to the Qi Entraining Stage and started condensing Qi, so how can you choose a technique?" Shixuan, a country boy in the world, is also very curious about this.
Ming Qingyue chuckled again: "When the time comes, the sect elders will help me refine my true energy, and I practice the "Blue Waves Overturning the Sea True Technique". The condensed blue wave true energy is easier to refine than other schools. Canglang is really angry. But you don't even know this, Fellow Daoist Shi. Which sea area are you from?" As soon as he asked, Ming Qingyue waved her hands quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm just asking, Fellow Daoist Shi. You don't have to answer."
Shi Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "I am from the land of Middle Earth, and I really don't know much about the world of cultivation." If I have the opportunity to be a fellow disciple of the Penglai Sect in the future, there is nothing to hide about it.
Ming Qingyue's look of sudden realization was very cute. She covered her mouth and said, "No wonder, no wonder. By the way, I heard from my father that the person on duty in the Middle Earth is a senior of the Yingzhou sect."
"It's Taoist Master Piequanzi."
"I heard from my father that this senior is the younger brother of the head of the Yingzhou Sect and a true disciple of the previous generation of the Yingzhou Sect, but I don't know about his magical power." Ming Qingyue also occasionally heard her father talk about it. Yes, I don’t understand it deeply.
"Speaking of which, Miss Ming, you are so confident about entering the sect, are you not afraid that those elders who have a bad relationship with your father will make things difficult for you?" Shi Xuan changed the topic back to the sect's recruitment of disciples, because this is the current situation. The most important thing about yourself.
Ming Qingyue raised her head slightly and said proudly: "I broke through to the Qi-entraining stage at the age of sixteen. If I hadn't been recruited into the sect, the Penglai sect would have ended its inheritance long ago. Besides, this time I will be in charge of recruiting disciples. The one who meets is the cold-faced Lei Lord Mo Yuan, who is most fair and strict. Under his eyes, there are at most some petty selfish interests. "
"Sixteen years old?! The Qi induction period?!" Shi Xuan was frightened. According to normal practice, even if the spiritual energy is abundant and the elixirs are sufficient, it is a step-by-step process to strengthen the body and nourish the Qi. Coupled with the natural development time of the human body, from six You start practicing at the age of seven, and you can reach the out-of-body stage at the age of fifteen or sixteen at most!
Ming Qingyue's face turned slightly red and she said: "I, this, this has many unique factors, which are different from normal people. By the way, the cold-faced Lei Lord Mo Yuan is not from a family in the sect, but a casual cultivator who has left the body. He just entered the sect in the early 1990s, so he presided over the disciple recruitment ceremony, which is good news for you, fellow Taoist Shi."
Since Ming Qingyue changed the topic, Shi Xuan did not dare to ask further questions and could only continue to focus on the Dharma gathering: "I often hear people mention the families within the Penglai sect. Do the children of these families directly enter the Penglai sect? "If the children of these families also participate in the Dharma gathering to recruit disciples, I am afraid that my chances will be much less.
"Of course, everyone is treated equally. They must attend the Dharma assembly and be selected before they can enter the sect. This is true even for the disciples accepted by Grandmaster Jindanqi when he was traveling. This is the foundation of the Penglai sect for thousands of years!" Ming Ming Qingyue said very proudly that she already had a sense of belonging to the Penglai sect even before she entered it.
Seeing that Shi Xuan's face turned bad, Ming Qingyue comforted him and said, "Fellow Taoist Shi, you don't have to be like this. Those family members are all trained since childhood. Those with outstanding talents entered the sect when they were children, and they only occupied the thirty Children and twenty quotas for the Qi-nurturing stage. The children of the family who have not entered the sect by the time they reach the out-of-body stage are either extremely talented and have made a breakthrough from entry to out-of-body stage in less than ten years, or they are ignorant and not worth mentioning. . The talent is no more than one palm, and this time it’s the cold-faced Lei Jun, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
After listening to Ming Qingyue's explanation, Shi Xuan returned to normal. His Taoist cultivation was not enough: "By the way, why didn't you join the sect when you were a child, Miss Ming?"
"Ten years ago I was only seven years old. My father was willing, but my mother was reluctant, and my father was henpecked, so naturally he didn't dare to speak." Ming Qingyue's face was soft and full of happiness.
Unexpectedly, the master of the Soul Stage was actually henpecked, and Shi Xuan also smiled. While the two were talking, they arrived at the boss's mansion, entered through the side door, and went directly to the secret room of the dungeon.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, I will interrogate this waiter, and you will interrogate Yu Cheng, who you are most familiar with. You can judge from his facial reaction. They will interrogate the Qi-nourishing monk, and then three parties will verify it to see if they are lying. After all, The low-level soul-searching technique is not foolproof, and it is very likely to damage the prisoner's brain, causing some information to not be found. It is not impossible to think that it is best not to use this technique just now. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with their brains. In fact, the same is true for high-level soul searching techniques. Although they can search out all the information, if they are used against monks who are in the orifice stage and above, their brains will be damaged and they will become idiots after searching. "After Ming Qingyue finished speaking, she took out a third-level soul-searching talisman and handed it to Shi Xuan, and then asked him to take Yu Cheng to another secret room.
After Shi Xuan arrived in the secret room, he closed the stone door, woke up Yu Cheng, and said to him with a smile: "I didn't expect that we would meet again."
Yu Cheng woke up slowly and saw that the monk in front of him was Shi Xuan. The expression on his face remained unchanged and he said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that seniors are so powerful. Even a few of them can't kill you. I just don't know how you could doubt me." , I feel like I haven’t exposed any flaws.”
"Haha, Shi, I'm a bit stumped. I was wary of you originally. If the restaurant you introduced wasn't a reputable restaurant, I wouldn't have stayed there at all. I didn't expect you guys to be crazy enough to stay in a restaurant like this. Do it in the restaurant." Shi Xuan also said with a wry smile, but did not answer Yu Cheng's question. He just guessed and then got the exact information from the two prisoners.
"The safest place is actually the most dangerous place. If seniors go to a small shop to stay, they must be extremely vigilant, but it is difficult for us to succeed. When we go to a big restaurant, and it has a good reputation, seniors will naturally let down a lot of vigilance. . When Senior Li deceived Senior, if Senior was a fool and was willing to go to Falling Star Overseas, it would be settled by then, and no one would care. If Senior refused, Senior Li would threaten him again to make Senior think that we would do something else. Looking for an opportunity to take action, but he never thought that we would do it right away, and let down some of his guard, so that Jiang Ning could take the senior to the secluded yard that was going to be repaired. "Yu Cheng was honest and cooperative, and he knew these things after thinking about it. It's not full of people.
"Jiang Ning, is that the famous waiter?" Shi Xuan asked.
"Exactly, he was bribed by us not long ago, and this is only the second time he has done this kind of thing in Qingyu Tower. I didn't expect it to fail so quickly." Yu Cheng looked quite regretful.
Shi Xuan was very surprised: "Aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts after walking at night for a long time? Aren't you worried that the boss will send people to hunt down you after the incident is revealed? With your cultivation, any disciple sent by the boss can easily kill them."
Yu Cheng shook his head and said: "It was because we had a way out that we became greedy and committed crimes so brazenly, thinking that after the incident was defeated, we would hide there. Even if the owner of the shop went out in person, he would not be able to find us. He could not find us before. Just dare to kill some low-level monks who are alone on the sea outside Falling Star."
After a pause, Yu Cheng continued: "Moreover, the boss has never left Fang City since he came here seventy or eighty years ago. The two disciples who have reached the Qi-entraining stage have followed the boss's instructions to go to other sea areas. Traveling and sharpening one's Taoist mind in the world of mortals. Haha, this is the rule that the master learned from the Penglai sect. The remaining two disciples and several other deacons in the Qi-entraining period went to Yaoguang Island to congratulate the master a few months ago. Shou. There are only two deacons in the Qi-entraining stage and the owner's daughter Ming Qingyue left in the entire city. This is the first time Ming Qingyue has taken charge of the city's guard, so she is not very experienced during this period. The loosest and best time to start.”
Shi Xuan was a little surprised: "You actually admitted that you have a way out, tsk, I have never seen a prisoner who is so cooperative as you."
"If I didn't say anything, I think the Taoist Master would use the soul-searching technique. I won't blow myself up or anything. I can only cooperate and suffer less." Yu Cheng continued to smile bitterly.
"Oh, what's your next step?" Shi Xuan had no choice but to ask calmly.
Yu Cheng said somewhat sadly: "Actually, it's not a good thing. It's just that one time my eldest brother, Li Daoren, and I were trying to find an island with weak monsters in the Falling Star Sea to earn a fortune in spiritual stones. , but when encountering a big storm, it was also a coincidence that we actually found a seaway into the inner sea of Falling Star Sea and escaped. "
