Immortal Martial Eternal Life: Starting from the Heaven Swallowing Demon Tree

Chapter 81
"Zhao Tiehammer!"

Seeing Zhao Tiehammer who was reprimanded but bowed his head and did not dare to resist, Qin Yuan walked over.

Injustice such as being exploited and deducted at the bottom has never been absent, no matter in the past life or in this life.

If it was Qin Yuan last year, seeing such injustices, there was nothing he could do.

After all, people at the bottom have exhausted all their energy to be independent.

But now, Qin Yuan doesn't want to turn a blind eye, because he has enough confidence.

Whether it is the bottom line or morality, it is all linked to ability!

"You are... Qin Yuan?!"

Zhao Tiechui, who was about to leave with his head down, raised his head when he heard the voice, and couldn't help being stunned.

Zhao Tiechui naturally recognized Qin Yuan who lived with him for a month and a half last year.

But since Qin Yuan succeeded in skin training and entered the inner palace of the martial arts hall, he has not seen Qin Yuan again.

I didn't expect to meet Qin Yuan here today!
"Zhou's Martial Arts House!"

The originally arrogant and domineering business manager saw Qin Yuan and Huang Yunfei approaching, his expression changed.

Being able to become a steward in Qingshui City, he naturally recognized the costumes of Zhou's martial arts school.

It's okay if it's an ordinary martial arts disciple, but Qin Yuan and Huang Yunfei both wear tokens on their waists.

This is the treatment that only the core disciples of Zhou's Martial Arts can have.

Qin Yuan even wore a saber on his waist, his eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of ferocity overflowing.

Even among the core disciples of Zhou's martial arts school, they are probably the best.

This Zhao Tiehammer, who works as a coolie every day, actually recognizes the master apprentice of Zhou's Martial Arts Hall? !

"If you work hard and do the work, you should get paid, and you can deduct it for any reason. Why, do you think there is no one in Zhou's Martial Arts Hall?"

Qin Yuan looked at the business manager, but there was a great sense of oppression in his plain words.

"Xingyun Trading Company? You dare to deduct the wages of our martial arts disciples, you are not small."

Huang Yunfei also walked over, glanced at the name of the firm, with a half-smile expression on his face.

He couldn't remember Zhao Tiechui at all, but since Qin Yuan came out, he naturally couldn't watch from the sidelines.

"Misunderstanding! Two young masters, this is all a misunderstanding! You bastard, if you don't apologize to the two young masters, be careful that I will dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs!"

At this moment, when the storekeeper heard the movement, his face changed drastically, and he immediately stepped forward to apologize respectfully.

Two core disciples of Zhou's Martial Arts came to the door. If this didn't appease the anger, then his firm would have to close down tonight.

"You two young masters, it's all because the villain has no eyes, and I invited the two young masters to make a lot of..."

The steward immediately came back to his senses, his face was pale with cold sweat, he knelt down and begged for mercy with a plop, tears streaming down his nose.

"Little brother, this is a small gesture, please accept it..."

Seeing that Qin and Yuan were unmoved, the shopkeeper immediately took out a money bag and asked Zhao Tiechui to accept it.

"Zhao Tiechui, keep it."

Looking at Zhao Tiehammer who was helpless and did not dare to take it, Qin Yuan opened his mouth and said.

"But...it's too much."

Zhao Tiechui looked at the purse in his hand, at a loss.

What he was exploited and withheld was only four taels of silver, but there were probably dozens of taels in the money bag.

To put it bluntly, this is worth more than ten years of his wages.

"Not too much, little brother, come to my place from now on..."

The shopkeeper of the firm immediately smiled and tried to get close, trying to get in touch with the Zhou's martial arts gym behind Qin Yuan and Huang Yunfei through Zhao Tiehammer.

"Junior Brother Zhao, come here."

Before the shopkeeper of the firm could finish speaking, Huang Yunfei called Zhao Tiechui over.

"Let's go."

Glancing at the terrified steward begging for mercy, Qin Yuan didn't do anything else, turned around and left.

"Senior Brother Qin, Brother Huang, I want to thank you all today."

Zhao Tiechui followed behind Qin and Yuan, extremely cautious.

Because he knew that he and Qin Yuan had no friendship at all.

To be precise, he only lived with Qin Yuan for a month and a half.

As for Huang Yunfei, he hadn't even said anything before.

"Last year, almost all the newcomers in the martial arts school went home. Why did you stay in the city?"

Qin Yuan asked.

If there is a way in the city, then naturally it is better to stay in the city.

But when Zhao Tiechui saw it, he could barely survive by doing odd jobs and doing coolies.

"There was banditry in our area last year. Not only the village was destroyed, but even the land was burned."

"So, I just want to find a job in the city, and when I save enough money, I can buy a house in the city and bring my parents, siblings and sisters here..."

Zhao Tiechui explained the reason.

It's just that the village was destroyed and no family members were killed or injured. This is a great blessing.

That's why Zhao Tiechui worked hard and wanted to buy a house in the city so that his family could have a place to stay.

Unfortunately, the wish is simple, but the reality is cruel.

Although the rebel unrest was suppressed, the prices of goods in the states of the imperial dynasty soared, and the money became less and less valuable.

Zhao Tiechui wanted to buy a house to settle down, but under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to succeed in his whole life.

"Junior brother Zhao, my Huang's firm just happens to be recruiting people recently. Not only are wages paid on time, but also room and board are included. If you want, you can also bring your parents along."

Huang Yunfei heard it and said with a smile.

He saw that Qin Yuan wanted to help Zhao Tiechui, so he simply sent the Buddha to the west.

"Is this... okay?"

Zhao Tiechui was stunned. The goal he had been working so hard for could be achieved so easily?

"I went to Huang's firm, so I have to work hard."

Qin Yuan also said with a smile that he did intend to help Zhao Tiehammer, after all, he had collected a huge amount of money during this trip to Montenegro.

However, since Huang Yunfei made a move, it would save him from making arrangements.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang, thank you, Senior Brother Qin!"

Zhao Tiechui was ecstatic, and immediately bowed to thank him.

"Uncle Wu, just send it here, you take Junior Brother Zhao to the firm to settle down."

When he reached the fork in the road, Huang Yunfei took the big bag from the carriage to salute, and instructed the groom.

"Yes, Master!"

The groom obeyed.

"Martial arts!"

Looking at Qin Yuan and Huang Yunfei who were gradually going away under the afterglow of dusk, Zhao Tiehammer couldn't hide his yearning and envy.

The business manager who exploited and oppressed him could only kneel down and beg for mercy in front of Qin and Yuan.

His dream of settling in the city, Huang Yunfei can get it done with just one word.

All of this stems from the powerful martial arts strength!
It's a pity that in this life, he has no chance to do martial arts, so he can only save more property, marry a wife and have children, and see if there is any hope for the next generation.

……

"Master!"

After returning to the martial arts hall, Qin Yuan put away the purchased materials and went to the main hall of the inner mansion.

"Qin Yuan, you won't be so fast, you want to go out to practice again?"

Seeing Qin Yuan coming again on his own initiative, Zhou Guyang said helplessly.

Qin Yuan has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and every time he takes the initiative to come, something will happen.

"It's not going out to practice, but there is something I want to tell you."

After shaking his head slightly, Qin Yuan said.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Seeing Qin Yuan's solemn expression, Zhou Guyang knew that the matter was very important, so he waved his servants to leave.

"Master, did you check Zhang Baimu's details during the last thorough investigation of the martial arts school?"

Qin Yuan didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Zhang Baimu? I remembered, he was a newcomer to the martial arts gym with you last year."

"Last time I asked someone to conduct a thorough investigation. His background is normal. Why, what's wrong with him?"

Zhou Guyang heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he actually remembered Zhang Baimu, who was inconspicuous in the martial arts school.

"How should I put it, I always feel that there is something wrong with Zhang Baimu."

Qin Yuan told Zhang Baimu something unusual about the previous few times.

"A meat training environment can make you feel dangerous?"

Zhou Guyang frowned slightly. Judging from Zhou Fu's previous experience and information, Qin Yuan's combat power, even in the dirty training environment, is considered outstanding.

Naturally, Zhang Baimu can make Qin Yuan feel dangerous, which is a bit abnormal.

"Master, Zhang Baimu and I don't have any personal grievances, but thinking about the successive occurrences of evil cultivators outside the city, we have to investigate this matter."

Qin Yuan said that the several anomalies he encountered before, to put it bluntly, did not have any evidence, just his feelings and guesses.

Therefore, if the martial arts school thinks that he wants to avenge his personal revenge or kill people with a knife, the matter of Zhang Baimu may be exposed.

"It's about evil cultivators, and it really can't be ignored."

Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Zhou Guyang paid more and more attention to it.

If Qin Yuan said that there was something wrong with Jiang Jinghong and Li Qimo, he might feel that Qin Yuan's motives were impure.

But for Zhang Baimu, an ordinary disciple in the meat training realm, Qin Yuan didn't need to frame him at all.

In other words, there might be something really wrong with Zhang Baimu.

After all, Qin Yuan had had direct contact with evil cultivators before.

"You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"

Then, Zhou Guyang asked.

"No."

Qin Yuan shook his head.

"I will send someone to investigate Zhang Baimu's matter, so don't show up."

"It's okay if Zhang Baimu has no problems, but if there are problems, then you may be targeted by evil cultivators."

Zhou Guyang said solemnly.

When Cheng Jingyu came last time, he said that behind the evil cultivator, there was a giant, the Blood Demon Sect.

Naturally, Zhou Guyang couldn't let Qin Yuan enter the sight of the Blood Demon Cult.

No matter how good a genius is, he is just a genius. In front of the strong, he is weak.

"Yes!"

Qin Yuan nodded, got up and left.

"Ask Zhou Fu to come see me."

A long time after Qin Yuan left, Zhou Guyang, who had been in deep thought, turned around and entered the back room, took out the martial arts roster and the map of Qingshui City, and ordered Zhou Fu to be called.

"Master!"

Not long after, Zhou Fu came quickly.

"From now on, you will bring someone to monitor Zhang Baimu, and then send someone to his hometown to bring his family back. In addition, this area of ​​the city should also be closely monitored."

Zhou Guyang handed the martial arts roster and the map of Qingshui City to Zhou Fu.

The roster shows Zhang Baimu's information, and the map shows the residential areas where Zhang Baimu haunts.

After careful consideration, Zhou Guyang decided to adopt a surveillance strategy.

A junior in the meat training realm, even if he has a hole card, he has no scruples.

Therefore, Zhou Guyang wanted to use Zhang Baimu as a clue to find the evil cultivator behind him.

"The last time I did a thorough investigation in the martial arts school, I investigated it carefully, and there is nothing wrong with him."

After Zhou Fu took the roster and looked at it, he was a little surprised.

With a clean background and normal qi and blood, Zhang Baimu is just an ordinary martial arts disciple, or that kind of ordinary disciple without much potential.

"He's a bit weird, you have to be careful not to disturb him."

Zhou Guyang didn't go into details, but only exhorted.

Be careful, there is no big mistake, if there is any problem, you will know if you check carefully.

The last time it was a large-scale investigation of the entire martial arts school, it was inevitable that there were some omissions. This time it was accurate to the individual, and all the details of Zhang Baimu could be found.

"clear."

Seeing that Zhou Guyang was so solemn, Zhou Fu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately went to select the Zhou family's confidants.

"Master!"

Just as Zhou Fu left, Zhou Lei arrived.

"How are you preparing for the celebration?"

Zhou Guyang asked about a major event in the martial arts hall.

One month later, it will be the 400th anniversary celebration of Zhou's Martial Art Museum.

Therefore, during this period of time, Zhou Lei, as the deputy curator, was extremely busy, preparing for the celebration every day.

"Everything is ready."

Zhou Lei said various matters.

"The celebration of the martial arts hall is a big event. You must arrange all the matters yourself, and there must be no accidents."

"However, this year, neither the master's family nor the Golden Knife Camp of the state capital will send people here, and the scale does not need to be too large."

Zhou Guyang said.

"Yes."

Zhou Lei nodded.

"By the way, just now I saw Zhou Fu leave in a hurry, what happened?"

Later, Zhou Lei asked about Zhou Fu.

"There may be a spy in the martial arts gym, Zhou Fu will deal with it."

Regarding Zhang Baimu's matter, Zhou Guyang did not hide it, but he did not elaborate.

"Isn't it an evil cultivator?"

Zhou Lei was startled, and Zhou Guyang paid so much attention to him, which is not like an ordinary spy.

"It's not sure yet. The celebration is coming soon. Don't make any noise until the matter is clear."

Zhou Guyang exhorted.

"I see."

Zhou Lei naturally knew that the matter was serious, so he went to arrange it immediately and kept strict guard.

……

Qingshui City.

a residential area.

The honest-looking Zhang Baimu, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and a bamboo hat, came to a house.

dong dong dong.

After knocking out a special signal, the door opened.

After looking around, an ordinary woman led Zhang Baimu into the house.

In the simple house, there is also an underground secret room, which is extremely empty.

"Holy messenger!"

In the brightly lit underground secret room, two people were already waiting.

One is an old man with gray hair, a hollow left arm, and an ancient curse on his face, and the other is a middle-aged man with a good appearance and an extraordinary temperament.

Seeing the young Zhang Baimu, the two saluted respectfully and looked in awe.

As for the Qi and Blood Rudder Master and Tie Nu who were in charge of Qingshui City in the past, they are nowhere to be found.

"I have secretly investigated the disappearance of the holy stone, and it was not done by people in the city."

Zhang Baimu took off the bamboo hat, and his momentum changed. He was no longer honest, but became calm and solemn. Simply sitting there, he felt a great sense of oppression.

No one knew that Zhang Baimu was the holy envoy of the Blood Demon Sect lurking in Qingshui City.

His identity, even the previous Qi and Blood Helmsman and others did not know.

"So, the problematic ones are really the congregation in the city?"

In the eyes of the one-armed old man, there was a cold killing intent.

Although during this period of time, there was nothing abnormal about the qi and blood helm master and others.

But the only ones who know the exact location of the holy stone are the congregation in the city.

The three disappearing congregants could not be seen alive or dead.

It's really possible that this matter is that the Qi and Blood Steward and the others are guarding and stealing.

"Holy envoy, just in case, it's better to execute them."

The dignified man was looking for a needle, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill the Qi and blood helm master and others.

"Execute them, and you will execute the holy city plan?"

Zhang Baimu looked at the dignified man indifferently.

The dignified man immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at each other, and the little calculation in his heart was completely restrained.

"Holy envoy, the church has decided to start the holy city plan?"

The eyes of the one-armed old man with ancient curses lit up.

The so-called holy city plan refers to the blood sacrifice to the whole city.

For this plan, they have been arranging people to sneak into major cities in the past few years.

If it weren't for the fact that the rebel army was suppressed by the imperial army before, the holy city plan would have been implemented long ago.

"The rebel army is preparing secretly. It is estimated that the plan will be implemented in a few months. You will arrange those congregants back and let them return to their respective places."

Zhang Baimu ordered.

"Holy envoy, their suspicions have not been clarified yet, in case something happens to the holy stone again..."

The one-armed old man with the ancient curse hesitated a little.

"Although I don't know which link went wrong, the disappearance of the holy stone has nothing to do with them. Besides, if the holy stone happens again, it will be a good thing."

In Zhang Baimu's eyes, there was a cold light shining.

He didn't find any trace in the previous investigations, so he deployed multiple methods secretly.

If someone keeps eyeing on the holy stone, they will definitely not be able to escape his detection.

"understand!"

The one-armed old man with an ancient curse and the dignified man immediately obeyed their orders respectfully and quietly left the underground secret room.

Zhang Baimu didn't stay too long, put on his bamboo hat and left.

After leaving that area, Zhang Baimu entered a restaurant.

When he reappeared, he had already changed into Zhou's Martial Arts costume and was heading towards the Martial Arts Hall.

"Ok?"

But just walking to the door of Zhou's Martial Arts Hall, Zhang Baimu's eyes moved slightly.

He sensed the darkness, and several eyes were quietly staring at him.

"The instructor of the inner palace."

Zhang Baimu observed quietly, and soon found out that those who were secretly staring at him were the martial arts instructors headed by Zhou Fu.

"Surveillance? Did you notice it?"

In Zhang Baimu's mind, thoughts emerged one after another.

Zhou's Martial Arts House had conducted several interrogations before, but he did not reveal the slightest flaw.

Why all of a sudden, Zhou's Martial Arts sent someone to spy on him secretly?

Thinking like this, Zhang Baimu entered the martial arts gym as usual, and did not go out when he returned to the house.

"Why does a small meat training environment make the owner pay so much attention to it?"

Seeing Zhang Baimu returning to the house and Zhou Fu hiding in the dark, he was a little puzzled.

Even if Zhang Baimu is a spy, with his status in the martial arts school, it won't be of much use, right?

"Sure enough, I found something."

In the house, Zhang Baimu could sense that the aura of Zhou Fu and the others who were secretly following him was lurking around outside the house, obviously watching him.

"Qin Yuan?"

After Zhang Baimu carefully recalled his recent actions, Qin Yuan suddenly appeared in his mind.

In Zhou's Martial Arts Academy, the only person who might notice him is Qin Yuan.

Thinking like this, Zhang Baimu sat cross-legged quietly without any unusual movements, as if he was waiting for something.

……

"Refine the Boiling Blood Powder first!"

Qin Yuan, who told the martial arts about Zhang Baimu, went back to the attic and began to practice poison.

Boiling blood powder, this is a poison specially aimed at the blood training realm.

Once contaminated, the blood in the body will boil uncontrollably and riot, and the strength of the whole body will be greatly reduced.

When he was in Baihualou that day, Qin Yuan had personally experienced the strong toxicity.

If he didn't have the magic tree's self-healing ability, the battle of Baihualou might really stumble.

Just like this, the first poison that Qin Yuan refined was this boiling blood powder.

When the boiling blood powder is practiced, then Qin Yuan will be able to beat the black mountain bandits one by one, and there will be no fish that slip through the net.
