Elder Xiong was repairing the broken window on the second floor of Jishizhai, when he heard a loud noise downstairs, he walked down the stairs quickly, and saw Deng Gongming lying on the ground, knowing that he was beaten, he couldn't help laughing twice, and went up to help him up.

Deng Gongming patted the soil on his body and asked the other party the reason, but he didn't expect Elder Xiong to smile and say nothing. Subsequently, he saw that Deng Gongming was still very curious, so he could only plead with him: "Old Deng, you have to help me keep this secret, what I saw today, don't tell outsiders, if there are more people who know, my trouble will be very big, I have to show this secret today, all for Elder Cui, if you really want to know, then wait for her to come out and ask her directly, before that, you should not know anything, be careful, and ask Deng Lao to accept it." ”

Deng Gongming suddenly felt that there was an extra porcelain bottle in his palm, he lowered his head to look, and Elder Xiong on the side explained: "This is the elixir I refined to replenish qi and nourish blood, which is very good for the body. ”

Just when Deng Gongming was in a daze, he had already been pushed out of Jishizhai by the other party.

The rooster in the town below the mountain began to crow, and the sound cut through the silence of the morning, Deng Gongming was excited, but found that he was standing outside the door. He sighed helplessly, although he had always wanted to get to the bottom of this matter in his heart, but at present, it seemed that there was no way to figure it out.

He put the porcelain vase in his pocket, and while no one around him had seen it, he secretly returned to his lodgings, pretending that nothing had happened.

This night, not only Lei Tianning and Deng Gongming, but also Qiao Honglin did not close his eyes, he looked at Xu Zhiyuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and was recovering from his injuries. Xu Zhiyuan was shocked when Lang hated the sky and went crazy, and was counterattacked by his own formation, which can be regarded as internal injuries.

Qiao Honglin was very worried about him, after all, he was too careless at that time, and handed over the entire Spirit Lock Soul Stripping Array to Xu Zhiyuan for blessing, which made him suffer such a serious injury.

It's just that Qiao Honglin has other things in his heart that he wants to care about more.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the hall, and a person was wearing a dark cyan cardigan robe with gold trim on the cuffs, and he didn't knock on the door, so he strode in, and stared at Qiao Honglin as soon as he came. This man has a figure-of-eight eyebrow, and his eyes are shining, and he is calculating at a glance.

"Elder Qiao, it turns out that you are here, and I have worked hard to find you. ”

"Elder Gao came to me so early in the morning, I'm afraid he didn't come to visit the door. ”

"Hmph, I didn't want to delve into this matter, but I just came out of Elder Cui's courtyard, and I am close to the road, so I would like to remind you by the way, don't play tricks too much in the future, so as not to burn yourself. ”

"Please also ask Elder Gao to explain that Qiao was born stupid and couldn't understand. ”

The man's eyes narrowed, as if trying to see through his mask of hypocrisy.

"Then I'll make it clear, did you open the door of my account room?"

Qiao Honglin was shocked in his heart, he had long expected that the other party would be suspicious, but he didn't expect to find his head so quickly, but his face did not change, he smiled, and guessed: "Elder Gao, this is a little wronged me, although Qiao is usually a little ruthless, but this kind of petty theft, I still can't do it, dare to ask if there is any lost property in the account room?"

"Nope. The other party squeezed out two words.

"That's very good, for this matter, I think Elder Gao might as well go and investigate the kid named Lang Hatian that Liang Ping brought back, he was near the account room when he was caught last night. ”

During the whole process, the other party kept staring intently at Qiao Honglin's face, as if he wanted to see how long he could act.

"I'm afraid Elder Qiao thinks too much, just with that stinky kid, his realm can shake the secret lock on the inside of the account door!"

Qiao Honglin's face sank instantly, and the man continued: "Elder Qiao, you were the first to appear near the account room last night, it must not be a coincidence, right?"

He couldn't say a word, and the room fell silent until the man waved his sleeve angrily and was about to turn away.

"Wait, Elder Gao, please stay. ”

The other party turned around, and his expression seemed to be unwilling to deal with him, but he still replied coldly: "What else is the matter?"

"I want to ask, Elder Cui, how is she doing now?"

"Oh, it turns out that Elder Qiao is caring about her, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, Elder Cui's injury is very serious, and even Xiong Zaipeng can't do anything about it. ”

At this, he walked away without looking back. Qiao Honglin watched his back disappear, gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Yisheng, you bastard!"

At this moment, Xu Zhiyuan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, Qiao Honglin put aside his thoughts for the time being, went to inspect his injuries, and told him what Gao Yisheng had been here.

。。。。。。

Today, as usual, the disciples were still practicing in the morning step by step, as if they had not experienced last night's battle. Lang hated Tian seriously overdrew his physical strength and rested in Lei Yunying's small courtyard, all because Cui Yuelan interceded for him, and Lang hated the genius to avoid prison.

He lay on the bed, in a coma, talking in his dreams from time to time, and his body shook back and forth. Lei Yunying wiped the sweat from his forehead over and over again, not understanding what terrible things he had dreamed of.

Ji Shizhai is as quiet as ever, maybe one or two disciples are injured because of cultivation or fighting, and come to Elder Xiong for treatment, the rest of the time, he is still very idle, he only needs to occasionally guide his few talented and dull disciples, and the rest of the time, Xiong Zaipeng is refining medicine on the second floor, and others are not allowed to enter.

His disciples were boredly flipped back and forth on the first floor looking at the few books that the master had requested, passing the time.

"Really, I've been reading these books for nearly a few months, and I'm going to turn them out, I don't know what the master and his old man think, it's time to teach us some esoteric knowledge. ”

It's just that a few of them don't know that there is a secret room hidden behind the medicine cabinet on the wall not far away.

In the stone chamber under Jishizhai, there are only a few fist-sized night pearls inlaid on the wall, emitting a faint light. In the center of the stone chamber, the flames in the large furnace were churning quietly, and there was no sound outside.

"Alas, your injuries this time are even more serious than last time, and you have to waste a lot of my precious herbs. ”

The bronzed-skinned old man sighed in pain as he picked out a few herbs from the lattice on the wall and threw them into the furnace.

"I'm really bothering you, Brother Qingpan. Cui Yuelan's voice came from the furnace, and she didn't talk nonsense, because she knew that the other party was not uncommon with those rhetoric.

"Who made me willing, the last time you were so badly injured was a hundred and sixty years ago. ”

"Yes, it was thanks to you at that time, otherwise I would have died a long time ago. ”

"It's a pity that I couldn't save Yinghao, his injuries at that time were really miserable, what kind of master is it, his soul is almost scattered when he returns to his state of mind, and it is a miracle to be able to survive until he returns to Leigang Mountain. ”

"Okay, Brother Qingpan, don't mention that incident again, you have done your best in that situation at that time, and you don't need to blame yourself. Cui Yuelan's voice was very melancholy, and the old man knew that he had mentioned her sadness, so he stopped talking.

"You have to think about it, once you enter this furnace once, it will cost you twenty years of life. ”

"Of course, I have been mentally prepared, otherwise with Zai Peng's means, I will fully recover, or it will take a year and a half, and I will fall ill. Alas, when you are old, you are useless, and when you are young, this injury can be healed in a few days. ”

"But is this what Yinghao expects?"

The old man's words made Cui Yuelan stunned.
