Chapter 49 Killing Intent

There is a manor one mile outside the city of Changhe County. It is not big, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is picturesque. In the morning, you can see the Cangshan Mountain and the sea of ​​clouds, and in the evening, you can go boating on the lake. It is a good place for self-cultivation.

This manor is called Xiaoluzhuang. It was originally built by the rich businessman Lu Dashan for himself. He planned to spend his old age here with his family. For this purpose, a river channel was specially opened according to the terrain to attract water from the Dragon River. Among them, but now this manor was given to Taoist Matu by Mr. Lu Dashan.

Of course, Taoist Ma Tu didn't accept this, and just rented here temporarily.

Bang, an ear-piercing sound sounded, and a delicate white jade porcelain cup was smashed to the ground, shattered all over the ground, and the fragrance of tea rose with it.

In the living room, sitting on the main seat, Taoist Ma Tu, who has always been a fairy in the eyes of others, has a gloomy face, with an unconcealable anger on his long face.

On the lower head of him sat a middle-aged man in his thirties, with black hair and black beard, and a slightly chubby figure. There was a little black and red color in his palms, and there were calluses. It's just that the aura of wealth and nobility on his body has covered up the prowess of a warrior.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's complexion is also not good-looking, his eyes are wandering, with a bit of hesitation, he is Nie Changliang, the leader of the Yaowang Gang, and Zhang Chunyi's nominal senior brother.

Feeling Ma Tu's anger and wanting the news just received, Nie Changliang's heart felt as if it was being roasted on fire. There were shock, anger, unwillingness, and regret.

As Changqingzi's first disciple, Nie Changliang was once placed high hopes on him, but after Nie Changliang was unable to stabilize his spiritual light, he was gradually abandoned by Changqingzi when he stepped into the road of cultivating immortals.

In the process, Nie Changliang himself was also hit hard, desperate for the immortal road, and it was precisely because of this that he established the Yaowang Gang and indulged in ordinary wealth.

But even so, Nie Changliang did not give up the management of Changqingguan's network, and even paid more attention to it, because he clearly knew that the support of Changqingguan was the fundamental reason why the Yaowang Gang was able to control the medicinal material business in Changhe County.

Under such circumstances, after Changqingzi died, even if Zhang Chun deliberately blocked the news, and even killed Changqingzi's follower Zhao Shan, but after a while, Nie Changliang still received the news from the mountain. The news of Changqingzi and Zhao Shan's death also informed the news that Zhang Chunyi had embarked on the road of cultivating immortals and controlling Changqing Temple.

When he just learned the news, Nie Changliang was angry, why?How can Zhang Chunyi, a sick man, set foot on the road to immortality?What qualifications does he have to occupy the foundation of Changqingguan? Changqingzi died. According to common sense, his eldest disciple should be the most suitable heir.

At that moment, Nie Changliang even had the idea of ​​rushing up the mountain to regain the Changqingguan foundation, but after the impulse receded, thinking of Zhao Shan's death and Zhang Chunyi who had become a cultivator, Nie Changliang hesitated again.

With the support of Changqingguan, the Yaowang Gang has developed really well in recent years. There are hundreds of gang members, many of whom have practiced some simple martial arts, and there is even a martial arts practitioner as an enshrinement. By mobilizing this force, Nie Changliang may indeed have the possibility of taking back Changqingguan Foundation from Zhang Chunyi, but Nie Changliang has never made up his mind.

Years of rich life has smoothed the edges and corners in his heart. He is afraid that he will not be Zhang Chunyi's opponent, and he is even more afraid of the Pingyang Zhang family behind Zhang Chunyi.

And just as Nie Changliang hesitated, the news of Chang Qingzi's death spread quietly, which plunged Nie Changliang into a muddy quagmire, and he could no longer care about other things.

Without the support of Changqingguan, the Yaowang Gang has become a mouth-watering piece of fat. Although the strength of the Yaowang Gang itself is good, it is still much weaker than the interests they occupy. The strongest It's just a martial artist who has practiced strength to get started, and he is also a foreign enshrined.

Under such circumstances, the Yaowang gang suddenly had a tendency to be divided and eaten. It was at this time that Taoist Ma Tu appeared. He took the initiative to find Nie Changliang and proposed cooperation.

At this time, Nie Changliang had come to the edge of the cliff, and the appearance of Taoist Ma Tu made him grasp the last straw in his life.

Nie Changliang needs the identity and strength of Ma Tu, a cultivator of immortality, to deter the wolves, tigers and leopards who are peeping in the dark. Ma Tu also likes the benefits that the Yaowang Gang can bring, and the identity of Nie Changliang, the great disciple of Changqingguan. , This can save him a lot of trouble in the process of taking over Changqingguan Foundation, and the two hit it off.

In this way, Taoist Matu replaced Changqingguan to support the Yaowang Gang, and the Yaowang Gang joined Taoist Matu and made confessions to Taoist Matu. This is why Zhang Zhong investigated the current situation of the Yaowang Gang and found nothing abnormal. reason.

According to the normal development, Changqingzi has fallen, and Changqingguan, which has lost its backbone, will naturally fall apart. All joints have been opened up, and Taoist Ma Tu, who has made many preparations, will replace the old Changqingguan. The new owner will continue to develop smoothly, but with the news that Zhang Chunyi killed the evil spirits and completed the task of eliminating demons, this originally perfect plan suddenly came to the verge of being broken.

Thinking of these Nie Changliang's heart became more and more tormented, and now he can be said to be a betrayer of Changqing Guan.

"Ma... Ma Daochang, Zhang Chunyi has killed the evil spirits, and his strength is obviously extraordinary. The Taoism of Changqingguan will continue."

"Judging from the current trend, the county government, Bai, and You have all agreed with this result."

"Master Ma, why don't we give up our previous plan."

Feeling uneasy, Nie Changliang retreated.

Hearing this, Ma Tu cast his sharp gaze over him in an instant.

"Give up? Do you know how much I invested? You give up when you say give up?"

His eyes were wide open and covered with bloodshot eyes. At this moment, Ma Tu's expression was as ferocious as a ghost.

"Besides, do you think that Zhang Chunyi can let you off as a traitor? Just dream."

Rebuking Nie Changliang angrily, clenched his palms tightly and stuck his fingertips into his flesh. Ma Tu had made up his mind in his heart. He had invested too much in order to get Songyan Mountain as his foundation, and there was no way out.

Hearing this, Nie Changliang's heart tightened suddenly when he felt the vague killing intent, and he opened his mouth several times, but finally he didn't dare to say anything.

"Is the batch of medicinal materials I asked you to prepare ready?"

Barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Matu spoke coldly.

Hearing this, Nie Changliang's expression changed again.

"Master Dao, the batch of medicinal materials you want is too much, and there are still such shortages as ginseng, which is still a little short now."

Standing up and saluting, Nie Changliang expressed his difficulties.

Hearing this, Ma Tu looked at Nie Changliang with colder eyes. If he hadn't needed Nie Changliang to control the Yaowang Gang for him, now he really wanted to skin and dismantle this trash like Nie Changliang.

"Ten days, I'll give you another ten days. If you still can't hand over the medicinal materials by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."

At this moment, Ma Tu unabashedly showed his killing intent.

"Please don't worry, Taoist priest, I will try my best, try my best."

Agitated by the killing intent, his heart trembled, and he dared not hesitate. Nie Changliang quickly gave a guarantee. At this moment, he regretted anxiously. It would have been great if he hadn't connected with Ma Tu at the beginning, but now it's too late to get rid of it. up.

"The Zhang family in Pingyang is really famous, but not everyone cares."

After Nie Changliang left, he sat alone in the living room, and the killing intent in Ma Tu's heart was churning.

Zhang Chunyi killed the 300-year-old ghost, which was indeed beyond his expectations, but it didn't make him feel intimidated, because his strength was not weak either, and he had even failed to eliminate demons in Changqing Temple. After that, he shot and killed the ghosts, so as to further establish his prestige plan.

The most important thing is that he does not believe that Zhang Chunyi can do it with his own strength. After all, Zhang Chunyi has not been a cultivator for a long time. In his opinion, Zhang Chunyi must have used some special methods to kill evil spirits. The means are often one-off.

"just wait."

As the sun set, the sunlight left the living room, and Ma Tu's figure was covered by shadows.
