Chapter 44: The Great Elder
This is a trail from Ziyun Mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past, there was basically no one here here, and at this time, Wang Yuzhe and the Nine Elders walked on this path.
Wang Yuzhe quickened his pace to catch up with the Ninth Elder and asked, "I wonder where the Ninth Elder is taking me?"
"Little guy, are you in a hurry, don't worry, I won't hurt you, I'll be there in a while. The Ninth Elder laughed twice and continued to walk forward.
After a while, the two of them came to the belly of the mountain, and then the Nine Elders stopped and called twice to a mountain wall, and then a crack opened in the mountain wall.
The Ninth Elder strode into the crack, and when he was finished, he didn't forget to call twice, "Little one, hurry up and keep up." ”
Wang Yuzhe naturally knew that the Nine Elders would not harm him, and if he did, he would have harmed him a long time ago, so he would not have led him to this place to commit murder.
Shaking the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Wang Yuzhe followed.
A fire lit up in front of them, illuminating the cave wall, revealing the swaying figures of the two of them.
The cave is not long, and it will come to an end in a short time.
This is in the hollowed-out belly of a mountain, and the space is in the shape of an ellipse, about 50 square meters.
There are many glowing hedrons on the stone walls of the space, and on a futon in the center of the space is sitting an old man with gray hair.
The Ninth Elder extinguished the fire, came to the old man, and said, "Go back to the Great Elder, I have already brought the people." ”
Hearing the Ninth Elder say that the person in front of him was the Great Elder, Wang Yuzhe's heart suddenly set off a storm.
He only met the Great Elder at the trial meeting some time ago, and the Great Elder was in good spirits and radiant at that time, and he looked more energetic and energetic, and he was still helping him at that time, why did it take so long for him to become the appearance in front of him?
The gray hair is gray, and the breath is like a gossamer, as if it may hang up at any time.
The old man waved his hand weakly, motioning for the two of them to sit down, and then spoke, his voice very weak, as if it might stop at any moment.
"You're an intermediate alchemist, and you can still refine the Soul Formation Pill?"
Wang Yuzhe's eyes widened suddenly, obviously not expecting it.
Seeing Wang Yuzhe's expression, the Great Elder smiled twice and coughed.
After a while, he regained his strength and said, "You don't need to be surprised, I learned about it from the Fifth Elder. ”
Hearing the five elders, Wang Yuzhe was relieved.
The Great Elder continued, "You have also seen my situation, I won't live long, and the only thing I can't worry about is this Purple Dome Gate. ”
"If the Great Elder has anything, just say it!"
Seeing Wang Yuzhe so refreshing, the Great Elder glanced at him and slowly spoke:
"I came to you today because of your identity as an alchemist.
In the Purple Dome Gate, the head of the sect has traveled all over the world all year round and basically does not return to the sect, leaving everything to me to take care of. But once again, I inadvertently entered a mysterious cave, and after I came out, I suffered from a strange disease, even the strength of my dragon soul level 8 can be suppressed, but it cannot be cured. The Purple Dome Gate looks calm on the surface, but in fact, each is vying for power and profit, and it has already caused the scourge of the sect. Although I have a heart, I am powerless, and I can only use this elder to suppress occasionally.
The second elder and the third elder are ambitious and ruthless, and they have always been dissatisfied with me, wanting to bring me down and control the Purple Dome Gate by themselves. On my side, there are only the Fifth Elder and the Ninth Elder, and the others are all the ones who see the wind and steer the rudder. So I want to quickly cultivate a group of masters while my life is still alive, and if something happens at that time, the five elders can control the situation. So I need a trustworthy alchemist to refine a large number of pills. ”
"The Great Elder is new to me?" Wang Yuzhe asked suspiciously.
"Trustworthy. Your identity is innocent, and the identity of the alchemist is very secret, and it is the safest for you to refine this batch of pills for me. The Dan masters in the sect are basically on the side of the second elder, and they can't count on it. ”
The Great Elder said so much in one breath, obviously a little struggling, his face turned a little yellow, and he coughed again.
The Ninth Elder hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the Great Elder waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this is how it was when this strange disease attacked, it will be fine when these few days pass, I just don't know how long I can last." ”
After speaking, he looked at Wang Yuzhe again, waiting for his answer.
Looking at the Great Elder's hopeful eyes, Wang Yuzhe suddenly spoke: "It's okay to help you with alchemy, but I have one condition." ”
"Little one, don't be rude. Hearing that Wang Yuzhe also proposed conditions, the Ninth Elder immediately got up.
I saw the Great Elder wave his hand and said, "It's okay, listen to him." It is naturally best to be able to mention the conditions, but I am afraid that if I do not mention the conditions, there will be problems. ”
The Nine Elders didn't understand the meaning of the Great Elder's words, and finally chose to remain silent.
"Let's talk about your conditions first. ”
"That's right, three months later, the crown prince of the Dawu Kingdom will hold a wedding, and I ask for a place among the people who go to congratulate me. ”
The Great Elder immediately nodded in agreement and said, "No problem, the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder will each bring two followers to the time, and then you can follow the Fifth Elder." ”
"Are there any other conditions?"
"Not yet"
Then the Great Elder handed Wang Yuzhe a ring and said, "This is a space ring, there are three kinds of Danfang medicinal materials in it, you take it to refine it first, and if you have any questions, just go directly to the Ninth Elder." ”
Wang Yuzhe turned the ring and nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Wang Yuzhe seemed to remember something again, so he stopped.
"Any questions?" the Grand Elder asked.
I saw Wang Yuzhe think for a moment, consider the wording, and then slowly speak: "The Great Elder has been in the sect for a long time, I want to ask, do you know that twenty years ago, there was an elder in the Purple Dome Sect surnamed Zhan and named Changgong?"
The name that had been buried in his heart for many years was mentioned again, and the Great Elder was inexplicably a little sad.
"How can you not recognize it?"
I saw that he had a sad look on his face, and said angrily: "Changgong was the second elder of the Purple Dome Sect twenty years ago, and he was calm and kind in personality, and he was approachable. But because of the loss of a disciple, his personality became inexplicably irritable, offending many people, and then he disappeared in vain, did not know life and death, and became a strange case in the sect. ”
Wang Yuzhe's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Uncle Tao's master to have disappeared mysteriously, I don't know how his old man would feel if he knew.
According to what the Great Elder said, it is obvious that the disappearance of Master Tao has a great deal to do with the person who framed Uncle Tao.
"Didn't the sect send someone to find it?"
"Why not, an elder disappeared plainly, how could the whole sect not investigate? But it seems that it has been invisibly controlled by a pair of dark hands, and many clues have been pointed at blindly, and many people have been wronged later.
It's been a long time, and there have been no clues, and then it has slowly been forgotten. ”
The Great Elder had a sad face, and his eyes were deep, as if he was trying his best to recall that very long ago and bizarre event.
"Don't you have the object of suspicion?" Wang Yuzhe continued to ask persistently.
"There was a suspicion at the time. ”
"Who is it?"
"The current Third Elder, Ding Changfeng. At that time, this Ding Changfeng was not an elder, but the brother of the second elder now. The current Second Elder was only the Third Elder at that time. He was introduced from elsewhere, but he has always been at odds with Changgong, and Changgong disappeared not long after, and many people suspected that Ding Changfeng did it. ”
After the Great Elder finished speaking, he coughed violently again, obviously he said too much today, which added a lot of burden to him.
The Ninth Elder on the side was a little worried, so he said to Wang Yuzhe: "Let's leave first, let the Great Elder have a good rest, and ask any questions when the Great Elder is better." ”
The information that should have been known was almost known, Wang Yuzhe nodded, and then the two left.
It was already afternoon when they returned to the Cloud Hall, and the two stewards were announcing tasks for the disciples one after another.
Wang Yuzhe ignored it and went back to the room directly.
According to the clues provided by the Great Elder, the only useful thing is that Ding Changfeng was suspicious back then, but it was only suspicious, and it didn't mean that he was the murderer, and everything had to be investigated by him personally.
Even if you explore, you have to have that strength, as the three elders, you should at least have the strength of the Dragon Soul Realm.
He went to investigate, and one was accidentally discovered, and he was not treated by the other party in the first place, and he was not slapped to death when he fell.
Therefore, improving the strength is the key at the moment.
