Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

Even Xia Mingyu, who also came from a family village, was the same. After all, he had always been an "oddball" in the village, and he basically avoided such activities in normal times.

Among the five people in the group, the most natural one was Youfang. Although he was somewhat averse to this situation in his heart, he was still able to deal with it with ease.

After all, he had been to many places in his previous life, and had come into contact with many enthusiastic villages of the same ethnic group. However, the Zhuge family was somewhat different from those. He just didn't know... what they were up to.

"We're here. There are exactly five guest rooms in this row. One for each of you. You can choose your own." Soon, they arrived at the place and Zhuge Qing followed suit.

"Okay, you guys must be tired after traveling so take a rest here. I'll be leaving first. Here's my phone number. If you have any questions, just contact me directly."

After leaving his cell phone number, Zhuge Qing left. The four people from Youfang looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"call……"

"Old You, what exactly do these people from the Zhuge family want to do? Do you understand?" Hong Bin spoke only after confirming that Zhuge Qing had gone far away.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. Judging from the current situation... they should be asking for something." You Fang shook his head, "It's okay. Just stay the same in the face of change."

"Besides, this place is so close to Hangzhou, the Zhuge family will never do anything to us. Don't forget my other identity. I am a member of the Lu family."

"Hiss... Yeah!"

"Then we'll have to hold on to your big thick legs, haha!" Hong Bin laughed when he heard it.

"Well, I'm a little tired after this morning. I'm going to take a rest first. What about you guys?" He then looked at the others.

"Ah."

When the word "tired" was mentioned, several people nodded. This kind of tiredness was not physical, but the mental exhaustion of dealing with the Zhuge family.

They could all see that these sorcerers were very cunning, so they didn't dare to relax for a moment, for fear of saying something wrong.

"Okay, then you guys choose the rooms first, and leave the remaining one to me." Youfang felt the same way, so he spoke up to greet them.

So, the five people quickly assigned the rooms and went into their rooms to rest. Youfang also walked into the remaining room and gently closed the door.

Bang!

"..."

The moment the door was closed, You Fang's expression suddenly darkened. Although the Zhuge family had no ill intentions, their behavior was... too obvious.

and……

"Tsk."

You Fang raised his head and used the "Bai Ze Guan Shu" to feel the power of investigation coming from this strange situation. What is the difference between this approach and directly installing a camera in the room?

"It shouldn't be..."

After feeling it for a moment, You Fang frowned and thought to himself: "As the descendants of Mr. Wolong, the Zhuge family is also a family of sorcerers. No matter from which angle you look at it, they shouldn't be so reckless..."

"Is there some deeper meaning behind this? And judging from their expressions, they seem to want us to think in this direction!"

For a moment, You Fang lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Although he had some guesses about the Zhuge family's purpose, if it was just a guess, he couldn't say much.

Moreover, he couldn't just leave like that. After all, this "Wu Hou Qimen" was still very attractive to him. He had already felt something after visiting the village. It would be a pity to give up.

So...

"Ha ha……"

After pondering for a while, You Fang looked at the phone number he had just received, couldn't help but smile slightly, and then picked up the phone.

For a village full of foxes, he would definitely not be able to beat them with tricks and schemes, so he might as well not play with them and just confront them directly!

"Hello, Brother Qing? I have something to talk to you about."

"No, no need to come over, let's meet at the entrance of the village!"

……

……

ten minutes later.

"Brother Qing, sorry for the long wait."

When Youfang arrived at the entrance of the village, he immediately saw Zhuge Qing who was waiting there. At this moment, he was helping several tourists take photos.

"Haha, no, I just arrived too." Seeing him arrive, Zhuge Qing returned the camera and then waved, motioning him to go aside and talk.

"You made an appointment to meet at the door. Is there something going on?" Walking to a corner, Zhuge Qing squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he knew nothing.

"Brother Qing, what you are doing... is not very authentic." Youfang was not used to his bad habits, so when he heard him ask this, he just went straight to the point.

"Haha, Brother You, what are you talking about? Haven't we always treated you with courtesy since you entered the village?" Zhuge Qing still kept smiling when he heard this.

"Indeed, I am very grateful to the Zhuge family for their attention, but you seem to have forgotten one thing. In addition to treating people with courtesy, we also need to pay attention to the word 'sincerity'!" Youfang did not give in at all.

That's right, this was the solution he came up with. Since he couldn't play tricks with the Zhuge family in their territory, he might as well be frank and talk about this matter.

This is a real "open conspiracy" and it is something the other party will never ignore. Unless they are willing to part ways and leave a grudge, they must deal with it properly.

"Brother Qing, we are all smart people. It would be inappropriate to continue pretending..." With this purpose in mind, Youfang continued.

"Indeed, I came to visit Zhuge Village to see your 'Wu Hou Qi Men', but I don't have to see it. If you don't welcome it, you can just say so directly. There's no need to come in secret."

"Dark?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Qing raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes slightly, seeming a little surprised.

But when he opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, he saw Youfang raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, so he closed his mouth again.

moment……

"Brother You, your reputation is well-deserved. I'm really curious about how strong you are." Zhuge Qing spoke again, but he took off his disguise.

"You know, the surveillance power of my Zhuge family's Qimen Bureau is so great that even many senior sorcerers who came to visit the village could not find it. You... are the first one in so many years!"

"Haha." Hearing this, You Fang laughed, then looked at Zhuge Qing seriously and asked, "Are you not pretending anymore?"

"Stop pretending! If you keep pretending you'll end up slapping yourself in the face." Zhuge Qing smiled and shook his head, also looking at Youfang, and the two smiled at each other.

Immediately afterwards...

"So, tell me, what do you want?" You Fang asked directly. "As long as your request is not excessive, I have no problem with it. There is no need to do this."

"Um……"

"We originally wanted to see whether you would take some action after noticing something strange. After all, you came to our village for a purpose. If you don't achieve your goal... you won't be willing to give up, right?" Zhuge Qing explained honestly.

"However, since you have the ability to see through the strange gates, then all this is meaningless. I can assure you that from now on, the entire Zhuge family will return to normal and the surveillance will be withdrawn." He continued to promise.

"As for your purpose, you can rest assured. When we compete, I will let you see the complete 'Wu Hou Sect's Qimen', but I also hope... that you can show your full strength!"

"All of them? Are you sure?" Hearing this, You Fang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

"I have to remind you that, up to this point, all the opponents who have witnessed my full strength, except for the old Heavenly Master... are dead."

He really wasn't exaggerating. From the Huanglongxi Ancient Town to the end of the Biyou Village incident, except for the old Taoist priest, all the opponents who had forced him to use his full strength... were indeed dead.

Of course, Lu Huan does not count. After knowing that he was Wang Nianying's stand-in, You Fang never regarded him as an opponent. So, in this way, there are only the "Gecko" from Southeast Asia, the eldest brother, and Wang Nianying, whose soul was eaten by him and whose back-up was cut off.

You Fang said this not only to tell the truth, but also to warn others. There was no way around it, this guy looked dishonest and who knows what else he would do.

Moreover, although the number of people who died at his hands was not enough, the gold content of their records was still quite high. Each one of them was a real master and a scourge in the world, which can be regarded as a brilliant record of his.

But...

"Haha, in that case, I will do my best. I hope I can force you to use your full strength." Zhuge Qing just smiled lightly when he heard it, as if he didn't take Youfang's words seriously.

"As for the time of the competition, let's set it for tomorrow morning. You can take a good rest today. After the competition is over and if you are interested, I can discuss the Way of Qimen with you."

"Oh? What about your original purpose? Just give it up like that?" Seeing this, You Fang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Haha, my original purpose... has been seen through by you, so forget it." Zhuge Qing spread his hands and responded.

Just like that, with Youfang's "recklessness", the Zhuge family's plan completely "failed". After getting a satisfactory result, he returned to the guest room.

As for Zhuge Qing, after sending Youfang back, he went straight to his father's study. At this time, Zhuge Gong was sitting behind the desk fiddling with the three copper coins. When he saw him enter the room, he grinned:

"It seems that there is a harvest?"

"Well, he did find it, which means our speculation is completely correct."

Zhuge Qing responded with a smile. Yes, he still lied to Youfang. In fact, the moment he came to question him, the Zhuge family’s goal had been achieved!

"Well, that's enough."

Hearing his son's response, Zhuge Gong nodded slightly, grinned, and then grabbed the three copper coins on the table...

Start divination!

……

……

at the same time.

On the other side, at the foot of Mount Putuo.

Gong Qing sat by the window in the room, looking at the mountain island opposite with a frown on his face.

"It's been three days and they haven't come down yet. Are they planning to stay in the mountain for a long time?" he said to himself.

Although it does take patience to wait for something to happen, these guys are traveling after all, and staying in the same place for too long is bound to arouse suspicion.

Knock knock knock!

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room. Ding Shimaan, who was sitting at the door, got up and opened the door, and found that it was Yu Huadu who came back.

"Come on, come on, the food is back, eat it while it's hot!" Yu Huadu rushed into the house carrying two large lunch boxes, put them on the table, and started to open the bags.

"How is it? Did you see any human figures?" He asked casually while dismantling the box, as if he really had no idea.

It has to be said that as a well-known "man of a thousand faces" in the martial arts world, his acting skills are still very superb. Even masters like the "Four Madmen" who are extremely sensitive to emotions, or Ding Shimaan, who has a very high level of cultivation, could not detect anything unusual.

"..."

"not yet."

When this was mentioned, Gong Qing's mood became obviously not good, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Then you say... could it be that they have already left? But they didn't go in the direction of the port?" Yu Huadu thought for a moment and continued.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him. It must be said that this was indeed a possibility. After all, they hadn't seen him for more than three days, which was not normal.

"Then tell me, have your spies seen them in other places?" Gong Qing thought for a while, then looked at him again. It was obviously impossible to leave directly now, unless he got accurate information.

"I asked when I just went out, and no one has seen them." Yu Huadu shrugged and replied immediately.

"However, I don't have spies everywhere. Some forces are really difficult to infiltrate, so I don't have any spies there." He told the truth.

"Um……"

At this moment, the whole room fell silent, and everyone was thinking about whether they should go and confirm it now.

soon……

"How about this, I'll give Ruhu a call and ask him to help me ask the three Putuo temples. That guy has good relationships with people, and the masters should give him some face." Ding Shimaan suggested.

In fact, he had proposed this method a long time ago, but Gong Qing rejected it because he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

After all, even though it was Ru Hu who showed up and seemed to have nothing to do with Quan Xing, given You Fang's temperament, once he knew about it, it would still arouse his suspicion.

but……

"What about Ru Hu..." After hearing this suggestion, Gong Qing had to consider it. At the moment, this was indeed the simplest way.

but……

He had already waited for several days, and he felt unwilling to take the risk again. So after pondering for a while, he finally decided: "Let's wait for another day. If we still don't see them by noon tomorrow, then we'll do this!"

"Ah."

Since the acting leader has already made the decision, the others naturally won't say anything more. There is no rush for this matter anyway, as long as the person can be found, it will be fine.

Just like that, the topic was brought to an end, and Yu Huadu began distributing lunch boxes. Everyone had two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and everyone didn't pick and choose, so they just started eating.

After dinner...

"I have nothing to do now, right? I want to sleep for a while." Yu Huadu cleaned up the leftovers on the table and asked, then saw Gong Qing raising his hand and waving.

"Okay, call me if you need anything!" He called out again, and seeing that no one was taking care of him, he went back to his room.

at the same time……
