Chapter 218: Elder
After taking over as the head of the family, the second and third masters of the Tang family kept a lot of low profile, and seemed to be deliberately avoiding Lin Feng and rarely showed up. Lin Feng didn't bother to trouble the two of them, he still had a lot of things to do.
For example, to investigate the situation of Old Man Tang.
If Old Man Tang hadn't died, he might have been able to learn from him why the Blood Shadow Building hadn't taken action to snatch the Canglang Knife for a long time.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and there was only a faint light in the courtyard of the Tang family's house, like a huge beast sleeping in the darkness.
Lin Feng was still pretending to be Tang Jing, carrying a long knife, and his figure flashed above the building.
His destination tonight is the retreat place of Old Man Tang!
He swept over the houses like a bird, without the slightest movement.
From Tang Yue's mouth, I learned that the retreat place of Old Man Tang was deep in the mountains behind the Tang family.
In the back mountain of Tang's house, it was autumn, and the ground was covered with a layer of fallen leaves.
Lin Feng looked up at the cave in front of him, a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the old man's retreat place to be so remote.
Putting away his thoughts, he came to the door of the cave with the token of the head of the house, and there was a groove on the side of the cave, and the token could be placed in it.
With a creaking sound, the door slowly opened, and its interior was exquisitely decorated, and the night pearls were lined up, not at all as simple as it seemed to the outside world.
It seems that Fang Cai has thought of a fork in his own mind, the Tang family has strong financial resources, what is it to arrange a cave?
Lin Feng suddenly stopped, slowly turned around and turned his head.
A man stood at the door of Fang Cai's cave, quietly watching him.
With the light of the Night Pearl, Lin Feng saw the man's appearance clearly.
It was a middle-aged man with a slightly gray hair, a powerful figure, and the most striking thing was the thick cocoons on the joints of his hands.
He had never seen this man in the Tang family, but he instantly guessed the man's identity.
It is rumored that he has the cultivation of the Xuan-level Seven Heavens, and he has been guarding the Tang family for a hundred years, and he is the only elder of the Tang family!
"Tang Jing?" the middle-aged man's voice was extremely low.
"Elder?" In the face of such a terrifying person, Lin Feng didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and Xuan Gong was already working at full strength.
Didn't it mean that the elder was in retreat all the year round, and he wouldn't go out of the realm unless the Tang family was in a matter of life and death? Why did he follow him as soon as he came to the old man's retreat today? Lin Feng sensed the strangeness of the matter.
"What are you doing here?" the elder asked in a deep voice.
"Visit Grandpa. This person didn't know whether he was friend or foe, Lin Feng's thoughts turned sharply, and his face remained unchanged.
"Visit the master, the master is at the critical moment of healing, do you want to visit him or assassinate him?" the elder looked at Lin Feng coldly, and his momentum continued to rise.
As the son-in-law of the Tang family, he just visited the old man, and he reacted so much, maybe there was nothing in the cave, and the old man had been assassinated!
The cultivation of the Xuan-rank Sevenfold Heaven exuded a terrifying coercion, Lin Feng was only a Xuan-rank Triple Heaven, and in the face of such oppression, there was a feeling of shortness of breath.
The realm gap is too big!
"As the son-in-law of the Tang family, but with bad intentions, I will correct you today!" The elder's fists were filled with bright golden light, thick as a mountain, and the cave was shaking when his fists were swung.
Xuanjie Sevenfold Heaven, it's really terrifying!
Lin Feng suddenly shouted, "Slow!
Your own people, don't do it? The elder's expression moved, and the brilliance in his hand gradually dimmed. Quietly watched Tang Jing, waiting for him to continue speaking.
"Grandpa's retreat is not because of an old injury, but because the Blood Shadow Building made a move and injured him!" Lin Feng said without hesitation.
There was a complicated look in the elder's eyes, "But that's not why you persuaded me. ”
Lin Feng's mind was like electricity, and the situation in Chu County was like a picture scroll slowly unfolding in his heart.
The fundamental purpose of the Blood Shadow Building was to snatch the Canglang Knife and open the secret hiding of Chu, so they resorted to means to injure Old Man Tang, who was the strongest combat power in Chu County, but obviously, hurting Old Man Tang did not mean that they got the Canglang Knife.
If the Canglang Knife was already in their hands, why did they bother to win over Second Master Tang and Third Master Tang? They didn't even have to buy Ye Da and Wang Xu to control the three major families of Chu County.
Maybe the person who shot was not strong enough, but he just injured the old man and failed to grab the Canglang knife, or maybe the old man put the Canglang knife in a secret position, and no one knew except him.
That's why there is a stalemate now.
Obviously, the elder had been on guard against someone approaching the old man's healing place, so as soon as he came here, he immediately appeared.
It was based on this speculation that Lin Feng concluded that the elder was not from the Blood Shadow Building. If he was a person from the Blood Shadow Building, how could he protect the old man so much. Love Book House
It seems that the Blood Shadow Building did not snatch the Canglang Knife, but failed to snatch it, so it had to carry out the backup plan. The backup plan is, of course, to support Tang Erye or Tang Sanye, and when the old man can't hold on, one of the two can inherit the position of the head of the family and get the Canglang Knife.
How do you convince the elders that they haven't been bought by the Blood Shadow Building?
"If I am a person from the Blood Shadow Building, I only need to wait quietly for the old man's injury to break out, and I, as the head of the family, can easily get the Canglang Knife, and there is no need to risk it here. Lin Feng said slowly.
The elder pondered for a moment, combined with what he knew, and found that Tang Jingzhi's words were not flawed.
"How much do you know?" he couldn't help but ask, Tang Jingcai had only been home for a few days, and he had done several major things one after another, and now he had broken the things that the Tang family had been hiding.
Lin Feng sighed softly, "When I was out traveling, I was reminded by a friend that the Tang family was in great trouble, so I returned home. A lot of what I know is what I was told. Now it seems that the situation of the Tang family is worse than imagined. ”
This is half-true and half-false, quite the style of a friend out of nothing, and the friend he is talking about is naturally the real Tang Jing.
"Friend, which friend?" the elder frowned and asked, at this time, there was no room for negligence, if he was deceived by Tang Jingmeng, he would become a sinner of the Tang family!
Seeing that the elder asked in such detail, Lin Feng's heart became even calmer, if the elder was a person from the Blood Shadow Building, how could he be so fooled by a fool?
"Come out. Lin Feng said aloud outside the cave.
A woman in an orange dress came with a good appearance and a beautiful temperament.
Who is this woman? Although the elder was puzzled about the identity of this woman, his vigilance in his heart did not decrease in the slightest, and he sensed a dangerous aura from this woman!
Lin Feng looked at the appearance of the elder and knew that he had not watched the battle a few days ago, otherwise it would be impossible not to know this woman.
Also, he has to guard the cave to prevent people with bad intentions from being unfavorable to the old man, how can he go to watch the battle?
The woman in the orange dress suddenly raised the long sword in her hand, and the green lotus bloomed, like a dream, and the beauty was abnormal.
The blue lotus blossoms, life and death are separated! The icy sword aura made the elder's forehead ooze a trace of cold sweat.
This must be the legendary Qinglian Swordsmanship!
The woman's wrist flipped again, and the green lotus suddenly withered.
"Huanhua Sword Sect Su Cheng. The woman put away her sword and smiled slightly.
If the sword just now stabbed directly at him, would he be able to block it?
After that sword, he didn't doubt the identity of the woman in front of him at all, "It turned out to be a master disciple of the Huanhua Sword Sect, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Ordinary forces have an unexpected respect for this illustrious sect.
"Now the elder won't suspect that what I said is false, right?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
The elder smiled bitterly, if he had known that you had friends from the Huanhua Sword Sect, how could he have wasted so much tongue with you?
As one of the leaders of the righteous path, the Huanhua Sword Sect has always been inseparable from the Demon Dao, if you collude with the Blood Shadow Building, you don't need me to do it, your friend from the Huanhua Sword Sect will already dismantle you!
"Naturally not. ”
The elder's attitude became much more respectful, Tang Jing, this kid grew up watching by himself, he had traveled for five years, not only did his strength increase greatly, but he also met friends from such high-ranking sects, which was really surprising to him.
"Come in with me. ”
After entering the cave, Lin Feng found that the space inside it was much larger than he had imagined. What surprised him even more was that there were countless hidden weapons of various mechanisms along the way, and even many hidden weapons made him feel palpitations.
"The old man is seriously injured, and my strength is only the Xuanjie Seventh Heaven, if the enemy who injured the old man is found, I can't stop it, so I installed all kinds of hidden weapons in the cave. If it is rashly introduced, even if it is a cultivator of the Nine Heavens of the Xuan Rank, it is possible that it will fall. The elder explained.
Lin Feng was drenched in a cold sweat when he heard this, fortunately he didn't force himself into this place, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would have died.
After about three quarters of an hour, and eighteen turns, the three of them finally reached a door.
The elder struck thirteen times in a matter of priority, and there seemed to be a special rhythm in them.
A moment later, a flash of light flashed, and the stone door slowly opened.
"This door cannot be broken through without the strength of the ground level, and it can only be opened from inside the door. ”
...... Lin Feng finally understood, it was not that the Blood Shadow Building didn't want to rob it, but that it couldn't rob it!
I didn't expect Old Man Tang's retreat place to be so strict!
From the previous intelligence analysis, the Blood Shadow Building's cultivation of the person from Old Man Tang should be the Nine Heavens of the Xuan Rank, otherwise Old Man Tang would definitely have no chance of surviving.
There are many dangers here, and there is an incomparably strong stone gate, and that Blood Shadow Tower master is indeed difficult to break.
It seems that the Tang family, as the largest family in Chu County, is indeed quite rich.
As the stone door opened, the situation gradually appeared in front of the three of them.
