Quiescence.

No one answered.

This made Zhu Rongshan's expression a little worried, so he walked into the Scripture Pavilion and used his own magic to seal the Scripture Pavilion so as not to be disturbed by outsiders.

Soon after entering the Scripture Pavilion, he came to the place where his master was retreating, and said once, "Master, the apprentice has come in. ”

Zhu Rongshan walked in and saw his master sitting cross-legged, not moving.

"Master......."

Zhu Rongshan exclaimed, he was afraid that his master would leave inexplicably because of his advanced age, so it would undoubtedly be a tragedy for himself and for Jinlongmen.

"Master, wake up."

Zhu Rongshan greeted softly, and stretched out his hand to stroke his master's body.

As a result, with a touch, he found that his master still had hot air on his body.

Apparently he did not die, but went into suspended animation.

If it were the same as before, then Zhu Rongshan would definitely choose to leave, or quietly wait for the old master to wake up. But not right now, because the situation is very unoptimistic.

So for the sake of the Golden Dragon Gate, Zhu Rongshan had no choice but to use his vitality to infiltrate into his master's body and summon the master out of the meditation.

"Ahem......."

After waking up, the patriarch looked at Zhu Rongshan and said, "Apprentice, why are you here?" ”

Since he faked his death, there is only one disciple, and that is Zhu Rongshan. But because he gave the location of the door owner to Zhu Rongshan. Therefore, even if Zhu Rongshan is in and out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion often, he can chat with the elderly.

So in the decades after the old man faked his death. Almost unanimously he was alone, and there was rarely anyone to chat and communicate with him, so it had become a common thing to sink into cultivation and fake death.

But he didn't expect that after faking his death this time, he actually saw Zhu Rongshan, so he was quite surprised.

"Master. In vain you are not worthy of your trust. ”

Zhu Rongshan's expression instantly became solemn, and he said, "I thought it would be in vain." His own style of doing things is a good thing for Golden Dragon Gate. But I didn't expect that such a final result would attract countless enemies. Prepare to destroy my Golden Dragon Gate together. ”

Zhu Rongshan is also not ambiguous. Directly introduce the bandit matter outside the Golden Dragon City in detail, so that his master has a detailed understanding.

After hearing his introduction, the patriarch shook his head and stared at Zhu Rongshan and said, "It's not your fault, the rise and fall of a sect is definitely not something that one or two people can organize and change." Perhaps, this is my Golden Dragon Gate. It's destined to be a catastrophe, right? ”

"Master."

Although Zhu Rongshan knew that this was his master. In his heart, he was relieved, but he was still more excited: "But the apprentice can't watch the Golden Dragon Gate destroy at my hands, so I also ask the master to help the apprentice solve the dilemma in front of him." ”

"I'll shoot?"

The patriarch was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhu Rongshan: "I'll make a move, it's not impossible." But I believe that you can also perceive my cultivation, although it is one level higher than yours. But because I'm old and frail, I can't even beat you head-to-head, so it's basically difficult for you to succeed if you put the treasure on me. ”

"I know."

Zhu Rongshan nodded, indicating that he knew about the situation.

"Then why did you come to me on purpose?" The patriarch is incomprehensible.

"Because there is one person who can solve the crisis of my Golden Dragon Gate." Zhurong Mountain Road.

"Who?" The patriarch was puzzled and said, "Do I know him?" ”

"Of course you know this master, because it was you who told me to win him over and persuade the other party to join my Golden Dragon Gate."

Zhu Rongshan nodded seriously, and said to his master: "This person is the one you asked me to look for before you faked your death." ”

"It's him."

When the patriarch heard Zhu Rongshan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said to Zhu Rongshan: "If it is him, then there is indeed a chance to solve the crisis of my Golden Dragon Gate." ”

"So I also asked the master to take action, because the apprentice was soft-spoken, and he couldn't persuade the other party to accept my request at all." I wish Rongshan a quick horse.

"I see, let's go."

The patriarch immediately stood up and followed Zhu Rongshan and the two mermaids out.

Walking all the way, the route that would have taken a quarter of an hour, but it was not used for half an hour, and the two of them came to a thatched hut one after the other.

Bang bang bang!

An explosion sounded, and the patriarch said to Zhu Rongshan: "What's going on?" ”

"Ahem...... That old man, somehow, likes to refine blades and pills. But his skills are really not very good, so he will blow up the furnace every day. ”

Zhu Rongshan smiled bitterly and introduced the situation in front of him to his master.

"Looks like he's still the same as before."

The patriarch smiled slightly, and then said to Zhu Rongshan: "You wait outside, I will go in and talk to him in detail." ”

"Yes."

Although Zhu Rongshan was a little confused, he didn't understand why the master would let him stay outside.

But since the master has arranged it this way, then he will not go in.

In this way, only the patriarch walked into the hut alone.

After a while, he followed the place where the sound came from and saw an old man about his own age. At the same time, the old man also saw him, only to see his eyes light up, and said to the patriarch: "Oh, isn't this Zhu Santai?" I knew that you kid, it couldn't be so easy to die, and sure enough, I was right, and I faked my death and escaped. ”

"Cheng Jianren, you are an old immortal who is not dead, how can I wish Santai to leave first?" Patriarch Zhu Santai smiled heartily, then walked up to the old man, punched him heavily, and said, "You old boy, in the end, you still returned to the place where you were born and raised." ”

"It is necessary, when people are old, they will think of falling leaves and returning to their roots." Cheng Jianren. That is, Zhou Biao's ancestor, the old man who has reached the peak of his life, and the bad old man who forced the Royal Academy quartet to surrender. But he stood in front of Zhu Santai, but he was a person who stood up to the sky, and I saw him staring at Zhu Santai with deep eyes: "I thought that you, an old boy, would never want to appear in front of me in your life?" Why, what kind of wind is blowing you today? And let your waste-like apprentice stand outside the door and look out, for fear that someone else will sneak in. Know what you have in your wrong plot to cause the secret to be leaked out. ”

"Haha, what secrets can I be afraid of leaking out?"

I wish Santai the tension on his face, as well as the crisis mood. disappeared in an instant in a few words from Cheng Jianren. Instead, he laughed a few times and said: "It's you, the old immortal, that is the most problematic, and I'm afraid that people will know." ”

"Fart, what's wrong with my old man?" Cheng Jianren blew his beard and stared at the beads.

"Really?"

Zhu Santai smiled slightly: "If I send out the news of the vice president of the Royal Academy, who is currently living in my Golden Dragon Gate, how many people do you think will come to look for you?" ”

"You ......." Cheng Jian pointed at Zhu Santai angrily, but he was helpless. can only sulk alone, just like that, two people staring at each other. And not convinced by each other.

If Zhu Rongshan outside the door could hear the conversation between Zhu Santai and Cheng Jianren in the courtyard, then he would definitely be surprised.

You must know that the status of the Royal Academy is undoubtedly the most important organization in the entire empire.

It can be said that in the Holy Tang Empire, the first magnate is the royal family, then the second magnate is the Royal Academy.

Even in the entire Shengtang Empire, eighty percent of the military and political sides were trained by the Royal Academy. And the dean of this generation of the Royal Academy is also the position of the national teacher of the Holy Tang Empire.

Even several vice-presidents of the Royal Academy are also the leaders of the Imperial Military Department, or high-ranking officials under Zaifu.

To put it simply, the Royal Academy is like another imperial court.

This model of one empire, two courts.

If it were in other empires, I wouldn't believe it.

But in the Holy Tang Empire, it naturally exists, and it has always coexisted in the world, without any problems.

But today, a military and political office that should have been in the imperial capital, or the vice president of the Royal Academy, came to live in seclusion where the Golden Dragon Gate is located, which makes people feel even more legendary.

"Don't you...... You've got it. ”

Zhu Santai's cultivation is obviously inferior to Cheng Jianren.

This is also why, Zhu Santai can only live in seclusion in the Golden Dragon Gate, but Cheng Jianren can seek a position of a high-ranking official within the Royal Academy, I saw Zhu Santai staring at Cheng Jianren and said: "You old bastard, don't you say that the Royal Academy is better than here, why did you finally return to your hometown and return to this place to live in seclusion?" ”

"Hey......." Cheng Jianren sighed, and then said slowly: "Didn't I miss you old bastard, I was afraid that you would be alone and lonely, so I came back to accompany you?" ”

"You old bastard, if you had this heart, you wouldn't have left secretly, and you haven't come back for decades." Cheng Jianren's words were immediately debunked by Zhu Santai.

In desperation, Cheng Jianren slowly introduced.

Through his introduction, Zhu Santai understood why Cheng Jianren returned.

"You and I are small, and I grew up wearing a pair of pants, so I won't hide it from you." Cheng Jianren sighed, and described his experience after leaving his hometown in detail.

It turned out that Zhu Santai and Cheng Jianren were ...... Wait for a group of small people, grow up together, and one by one aspire to become a great warrior in the future.

They are all descendants of the Golden Dragon Gate, but their families are just in the middle of the road.

But when they grow up, the first choice is still Golden Dragon Gate.

So one by one, when they were old enough, they chose to join the Golden Dragon Gate and started the talent test. In the test, Zhu Santai and the others had very good talents, and they became the successors of their own initiative.

But Cheng Jianren's talent is not very good, so he can only stand aside silently and cultivate, but he is unwilling, even if he is taken care of by Zhu Santai and others, he is not willing to be resigned.

So one night, he decided to leave and left a superstitious letter to Zhu Santai and others.

Many years later, when Cheng Jianren's news was once again delivered to the Golden Dragon Gate.

Cheng Jianren has become a genius disciple of the Royal Academy, and has grown step by step, and after a few years, he has become an officer of the Royal Academy, and has been promoted.

At this time, Zhu Santai and others felt a little unbelievable, but they wrote to the past and persuaded Cheng Jianren to come back and take a look, but those superstitions sank into the sea.

"You must blame me, why didn't you reply to your letters, in fact, you don't know how corrupt the empire is, and how fierce the partisanship within the Royal Academy is."

Although Cheng Jianren's status is constantly improving, problems also follow.

It is the rise and fall of the dynasty and the replacement of emperors.

At that time, the old emperor was already old and decrepit, and he could not continue to preside over the government at all, so several princes fought for the throne. This forced everyone in the Royal Academy to choose a suitable heir to support.

Cheng Jianren, who was the vice president at the time, was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he would become the target of his opponent's attack. So he concealed his identity, and did not reply to letters, or even accept letters, and went all out to fight for the throne.

But unfortunately, his efforts were all in vain in the end, because in the end of the battle, the prince he supported was deposed by the emperor because of some trivial things, thus losing the qualification to compete for the throne.

So when the new emperor ascended the throne, Cheng Jianren chose to leave lonely.

This is not to say that the new emperor is not tolerant, nor is it that the new emperor forced him to leave, and Cheng Jianren definitely continued to be in the Royal Academy, and there was no meaning, so he chose to leave.

Originally, when he returned to his hometown, he was going to visit his friends, but he heard the news that Zhu Santai had died and none of his other friends were gone.

So after the grief, Cheng Jianren had no choice but to choose a rural wilderness, live his own small life, occasionally meet a passer-by, point out the other party's life and the like, and form the novice village that Zhou Biao encountered at the beginning.

Over the decades, Cheng Jianren gradually forgot the past.

Knowing the appearance of Zhou Biao, Cheng Jianren decided to fight for his dream again, so he chose to join Jinlongmen.

Hearing Cheng Jianren's narration, Zhu Santai finally understood the tragedy of prejudice.

"Hey......."

Zhu Santai sighed and said to Cheng Jianren: "I have faked my death for decades, but now I have received the news that the Golden Dragon Gate is about to fall. ”

Zhu Santai also introduced the purpose of his visit today to Cheng Jianren.

"I'll just say, you old bastard, you have been suspended for decades, can't you suddenly appear."

Cheng Jianren smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "But it's okay, if the Golden Dragon Gate is destroyed, where can I get so many resources to practice life skills." ”

"You sit down for a while, and when I solve the enemy outside the city, I'll come to catch up with you."

Cheng Jianren and Zhu Santai grew up together since childhood, so they naturally knew Zhu Santai's psychological thoughts, so after he finished speaking, regardless of Zhu Santai, he took the initiative to go out and came to Zhu Rongshan's side, and said, "Let's go!" Let me see, what are the people who don't open their eyes, who dare to trouble me? (To be continued......)
