Chapter Eighty-Six: The Mysterious Dark Room
Duanlian's martial arts are quite high, even adults are not completely sure that they can defeat him, plus she and Duan Lang are dragging their feet, I am afraid it is not appropriate to have a head-on conflict.
The most important thing is that Duanlian is extremely conceited, and if she is forcibly persecuted, she will not say anything.
We still have to start investigating from the clues.
Lu Li asked a few maids who were serving Duanlian about Duanlian's past very vaguely, and they all shook their heads.
The sect leader's past, even if they were given ten dares, they wouldn't dare to know.
Then Lu Li found that these people were no longer waiting by Duanlian's side.
She couldn't help but beat the drums even more.
Has Duanlian discovered something?
In fact, Duanlian learned from several people that Lu Li had been probing his emotional past, and she couldn't help but wonder if this girl had eaten the nameless flying vinegar.
Come to think of it, it wasn't surprising that the singer stayed in his room that night, and she was also sneaky peeking outside the room, and it was not surprising to ask around about his past.
In this way, this girl is indeed deeply rooted in his affection.
Thinking of this, Duanlian couldn't help but sigh.
"What else did she ask?"
"Manager Lu also asked, does the sect leader often spend the night in the room with various women, how many beauties have been favored in recent years, when was the first one, and was there any unforgettable old people before......
"And how did you answer?" Duanlian's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked.
"How dare the slave and maid create rumors about the sect master, they just don't know what they say, and Manager Lu didn't ask much."
Duanlian couldn't help but sigh slightly.
This girl is stupid and blunt.
It should be said that there has never been.
I don't know a word, wouldn't it have exposed the women around him for so many years.
These stupid girls can't stay around, and they have to be replaced by a group of clever ones.
So after Lu Li asked again, the maids all answered the same way.
"Our sect leader is clean and self-clean, fairy-winded, and there have never been other women around him."
Lu Li knew with his heels that it was not credible.
Lu Li couldn't help but suspect that Duanlian had already begun to doubt her, so she replaced all the maids around her who might expose herself, leaving only the clever and strict-mouthed.
But at the same time, she was very puzzled, if she really doubted her, why didn't she just change her, what did she do with so many maids?
Lu Li couldn't figure it out, so he had to pull Duan Lang to discuss the strategy.
"No matter what, we can't stay any longer in this Five Lotus Sect." Duan Lang frowned slightly, they had been delayed in the Five Lotus Sect for a while, not to mention that they were about to return to Beijing, they had not yet received any favorable news, and the time was all delayed in acting, "I found in the scripture room that many of the most important files in the Five Lotus Sect are not in the scripture room, I suspect that Duanlian has a secret dark room, which stores important files and most of the secrets in the Five Lotus Sect, maybe they can start from there." ”
"Then we'll do it tonight." Lu Li didn't want to stay in the Five Lotus Sect for a long time, and every day he felt that he was pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, for fear that Duanlian would be unhappy and kill her, and he really missed the days when he was by the side of adults, and no one could hurt her when adults were there.
The two of them waited until late at night, when the entire Five Lotus Sect was silent, and then quietly went out.
Lu Li's days in the Five Lotus Sect are not in vain, in addition to having a good relationship with the maids, and having a good relationship with many guard brothers, everyone often drinks together and chats together, from them, Lu Li learned that there is a place in the Five Lotus Sect that they must not go.
That is the ancestral hall of the Five Lotus Sect, I heard that there is the spiritual seat of Master Duanlian, I heard that in the early years, Duanlian broke off relations with the master because of some things, but later when the master died, he saved the master's whole body from among the old enemies, and specially built an ancestral hall, which placed the spiritual seat of the master, but never went to worship, and no one was allowed to go over to clean it, and the patrolling guards did not dare to stay more when passing by.
According to Lu Li's impression, the two of them soon arrived outside the ancestral hall.
It was a detached house, deserted, with no light in front of the door, and it looked very strange in the cold night wind
Lu Li and Duan Lang glanced at each other, neither of them hesitated, and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall while the patrolling guards had not yet come.
The ancestral hall has not been cleaned for a long time, and a layer of ash has fallen, the whole ancestral hall is very quiet, even a needle on the ground can be heard clearly, on the huge spiritual platform, there is only a slightly lonely spiritual position, and two enshrined plates are placed in front of the spiritual seat, which have several fruits that have already dried up.
The two of them went up to take a look, and the word "Ancestor" was written on the tablet.
Not even a name.
Lu Li couldn't help frowning slightly, could it be that Duanlian hated her master to such an extent? There is not even a name engraved on the tablet.
But then why do you have to engrave the word "first teacher" again?
It's really confusing.
"Lu Li!" Without waiting for Lu Li to be puzzled, Duan Lang seemed to have found something else, Lu Li hurriedly went over and saw a painting hanging on the wall next to him.
She is a very beautiful woman, with a lonely expression and no god in her eyes, but her appearance is very beautiful.
She was wearing the unique costumes of women in Northern Xinjiang, and judging from the portrait, it was very similar to the fairy slang saintess mentioned by Zhou Ying.
"Could this be the Immortal Slang Dao Holy Maiden?" Lu Li frowned slightly.
"Why should the portrait of the Immortal Slang Dao Holy Maiden be placed together with Master Duanlian's spiritual seat?" Duan Lang couldn't help frowning.
Lu Li also felt strange, she pursed her lips and looked up and down at the portrait, except for the beautiful woman in the portrait, she couldn't see anything else.
Isn't this saint Duanlian's heart? It's impossible to put her portrait and the hated Master's spiritual seat together.
"Don't worry about it so much, look elsewhere."
Duan Lang couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about anything, and turned his head to look elsewhere.
Lu Li stared at the portrait for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
Suddenly, she seemed to have noticed something terrible.
The entire ancestral hall was covered with dust, but on this portrait, there seemed to be only a thin layer of dust.
It can be seen that it was taken down and wiped not long ago.
But who will take down this portrait in the ashes ancestral hall?
"Duan Lang, you can carry me!" Lu Li pulled Duan Lang, stepped on his back, and took down the painting.
The woman was very beautiful, and she still felt beautiful up close, but the portrait didn't seem to be the point.
The focus is on the portrait, and there is a dark grid.
Lu Li pressed the dark grid and pressed it hard.
There was a slight vibration on the ground, and when the two of them turned their heads to look again, a small square door suddenly opened under the altar.
Beneath the door is a staircase that leads into the unknown darkness.
"This can't be the secret room I guessed, right? There really is. Duan Lang stared at the door with a surprised expression, "Shall we go in?" ”
