Chapter Twenty-Six
Thunder on the ground.
Zhang Liang and Zhao Mingyang were so shocked by Yuan Mingqing's words that they were speechless for a long time.
"This is also what the master told me privately after I returned to the mountain." Yuan Mingqing sighed lightly, and continued regardless of the shocked expressions of the two, "The matter of the ancient mountain key hidden in the Dingfeng Division, the master also knew about it a long time ago. ”
Zhang Liang was even more surprised when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How could the Pavilion Master know?" He knew why he still allowed the ancient mountain key to continue to hide here, and why didn't he tell Shi Qingshan? ”
Yuan Mingqing stared at Zhang Liang, and said word by word with a solemn expression: "Because he doesn't know Shizun, he shouldn't tell the mountain chief." ”
Zhang Liang kept his eyes on it, waiting for the next step of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
"In fact, after the old cat obtained the key to the ancient mountain, he immediately passed the news to Sima Tuzheng in person."
Zhuge Xi exclaimed: "Grandma Tuzheng also knows? ”
"Hmm...... But Sima Tuzheng had long been worried about some unusualness in the mountain, and she first secretly discussed it privately with her master - Tuzheng still believed in the character of her teacher. After the two of them confirmed the worries in each other's hearts, they secretly ordered the old cat to temporarily hide the ancient mountain key in the Linhang Dingfeng Division, and as for this Tianqian Guiyuan Array, Tu Zheng taught him how to arrange it. ”
Yuan Mingqing sighed, looked up at the ceiling, and continued: "It's not that Shizun and Tu Zheng really suspect Elder Shi Qingshan, but they are sure that there is definitely a person with bad intentions among the elders of Luhoi Mountain, but they can't tell who it is. Shi Qingshan's temperament has changed in the past ten years, Xi'er must have felt it too, Shizun He didn't dare to be disobedient on the surface, but he had to guard against it in his heart. There are a total of ten people above the existing elder seat in Luhoi Mountain, including the head of Shiqing Mountain of the Jade Golden Palace, the master of the Hejing Collection, the Illusory Golden Pagoda, the Minister of the Development Department, the master of the Nalan residence, the Sima Tuzheng of the career path, the head of the willow of the sea mountain, the lord of the Tianqiong Pavilion, the patriarch of the Sacrificial Mountain Temple, and the master of the Yin Hall of the Linbing Hall. If one of them has bad intentions, who can believe it? But if you force yourself to think like this, who do you think is the inner ghost? ”
Zhuge Xi bit his lip and shook his head slightly: "It's ridiculous, how is this possible?" You just said that there are inner ghosts, but I didn't expect you to point to the elders. Fang Daru and Grandma Tuzheng I trust them 100%, and it is impossible for Brother Liu Hao to watch him grow up little by little, Nalan or Shi Qingshan...... Oops, I don't believe any of them would have bad intentions at all. ”
Yuan Mingqing smiled lonely: "Shizun can't tell the difference at all, so he simply concealed the matter of the ancient mountain key together with the mountain chief." Before he found that person, he didn't plan to make the matter of the ancient mountain key public, after all, this was a major event that changed the pattern of the Zhongshan Sutra. However, he never expected that Xi'er would take advantage of Sima Tuzheng's absence to take away the old cat who had guarded the ancient mountain key for nearly five years. ”
Zhuge Xi's pupils constricted when he heard this, and finally knew what he had done without knowing it.
"Of course, it's no wonder you...... If Master hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known this. Yuan Mingqing saw Zhuge Xi's self-reproachful expression, and couldn't help but comfort him.
Shizun said that maybe his secret conversation with Sima Tuzheng was still noticed by someone with a heart, but that person kept it back. As soon as the old cat set off for Dangshan, he was immediately ambushed by the seven wolves, saying that no one would believe it if no one informed him. It's just that the man didn't expect that the seven wolves didn't notify him after learning the news of the ancient mountain key, but instead became greedy and wanted to take it away by themselves. So although there was such a big fuss, the person on Luhoi Mountain still didn't know the existence of the ancient mountain key. ”
Zhang Liang held his forehead with his hand and said quietly: "So the Pavilion Master is worried that if that person is really the mountain chief, I will go back like this and fall into the mouth of the tiger." But I really don't know, if it's really the chief of the mountain, what is he trying to do? What could he do? Did you flee with the ancient mountain key? Or divide the Fourth Mountain with influence? What's in it for him? Or even if it weren't him, what good would the elders do in doing so? “
"The reason, probably the "Dragon King". Yuan Mingqing replied softly.
Zhang Liang trembled slightly, falling into deep thought. The first mountain chief of the Zhongshan Sutra, the Dragon King, has always wanted to emulate the appearance of the Xishan Sutra and unify the various systems of Zhongshan. If there is really someone on the fourth mountain who has a secret communication with the dragon king, then it makes sense.
"But where did the pear blossom girl and the strange Taoist priest come from?" Zhao Mingyang, who had been silent, opened his mouth and asked, "The purpose of Pear Blossom is to seize the key to the ancient mountain, and the Taoist priest is entrusted by someone to not let her get it." How did Pear Blossom know, and who was the Taoist priest entrusted to? “
Yuan Mingqing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I also told Shizun about this, and he doesn't know." Although this matter has some eyebrows, it is still full of mysteries. ”
"And ......" Zhang Liang looked at his arm and wondered, "What is this ancient mountain key, why did it suddenly shatter into my body, it can't be fake!" Even if it's true, I don't know how to take it out or how to use it. ”
"Well...... Yuan Mingqing touched his nose and said with a dry smile, "The Gushan key must be true, otherwise they wouldn't have been so cautious at the beginning." As for the reason for this change, I don't know. ”
Zhuge Xi sighed and looked at Lord Si Zheng with some pity: "Presumably Zhang Mo will definitely tell the mountain chief about the ancient mountain key when he returns to the mountain." If there is a problem with the mountain chief, he will always take you back and study it well, and finally take it out. ”
Zhang Liang felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible.
Yuan Mingqing waved his hand and said, "Master, he is not sure who that person is, maybe he is not the mountain chief at all." But if it weren't for the mountain chief, what we did today would have made him suspicious in the eyes of the mountain chief. Perhaps, it won't be long before the Capture Cloud Division will arrive. ”
"Catch the clouds?" Zhang Liang sneered, "It feels like an ancient brocade guard." ”
Zhuge Vice-Tu grinned, brushed the hair next to his ear and said, "The soldiers are coming to block it!" Anyway, since the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are here, unless Haishan is dispatched, no one will want to take us away. It's not good for us to stay in the station, the goal is too obvious here. Let's go back to Lu Zhongtao first, and then discuss what to do in detail. ”
A few people nodded, and immediately prepared to leave the place.
Without the cover of the Escape Ring, the group of four sneaked out of the station and fled the scene quickly.
"I said you appeared like a ghost when you first came, why can't you help us hide now?" Finally touched Zhang Hao, who was next to the car, and asked Yuan Mingqing curiously.
"Alas, don't scold me, I really don't have the ability to hide the three of you in one go." Yuan Mingqing replied while getting into the car, "And it's not so easy for me to be invisible." “
As soon as Yuan Mingqing's left foot stepped into the car, his body suddenly stopped moving.
Zhuge Xi was impatient and slapped him on the back: "What do you think?" Don't hurry in yet. “
"yes, yes, what do you think? Come on in, come in. A middle-aged man's laughter came from the car, and then Zhuge Xi's words continued.
Yuan Mingqing's expression was serious, and he solemnly looked at the sloppy Taoist who appeared in the car at some point, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the Taoist chief?" Friend or foe? “
