Chapter 66 Coercion
Everyone nodded, and one by one they sped up, flying close to the lonely clearing. The area had apparently been cleaned by man, and the swamp was so empty that not a single Yama lotus could be seen, nor could it smell any flowers. Everyone jumped all the way to the island, and out of prudence, they did not continue to advance, but stopped one after another, and one of them spoke to the house: "Is Master Levin inside?" We are people from the Taishan faction, and we have important matters to ask to see. ”
Hearing this, an extremely dissatisfied voice floated out of the room: "There is no Lu Wen here, just an old man who lives a stable life, you better go back." ”
Although this tone is not very friendly, there are some ways to say it in and out of the words. Everyone looked at each other, and they were all in good spirits, and the person who spoke before continued: "Master Lu Wen, if it weren't for the important matter, we wouldn't dare to bother rashly, if you refuse to help in this matter, the Taishan faction will be in big trouble." ”
"I said, there is no Lu Wen here, if you want to find Lu Wen, you should find another place!" The people in the room insisted on denying it.
No matter how soft they begged, the people in the house still refused to admit that they were Lu Wen, but these people from the Taishan faction couldn't give up easily, and they were wasted here. Zhao Zheng saw that it was not a way to go on like this, his eyes rolled, and he interjected: "Old man, since you are not Lu Wen, it doesn't matter, we have come all the way here, and our mouths are a little dry, can you enjoy saliva and drink?" You can't help but agree to such a small request. ”
"This ......," the room hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "all right." If you want water, come in. ”
Lu Wenke is a master of mechanism. The place where he lived in seclusion. It is likely that layers of traps will be arranged. Despite the permission. The crowd hesitated.
Since Zhao Zheng knew that there were no traps here for Lu Wen, he was the first to boldly walk over, and there was no danger after walking for a long time. When the people behind saw it, they finally put their minds at ease and followed. When it comes to seniority, Zhao Zheng is a whole generation or more shorter than them, but he is more bold than them, which makes these people a little ashamed.
The gate of the fenced courtyard was not closed. Zhao Zheng and his entourage successfully entered the courtyard and arrived at the door. Zhao Zheng, who was the leader, knocked on the door a few times, and soon got a response, and the door opened from the house.
The one who opened the door was a thin old man, who looked about seventy years old, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't look very happy. He was dressed in a very clean and simple brown suit, and a pair of black boots were on his feet. In his hand, he held a water scoop, which was filled with water.
The house is not very bright. As soon as you enter the door, there is a small clean hall, with a small door on each side. Access to the rooms on the left and right. It stands to reason that the place where you enter the door should be a living room, but there is nothing here, not even a chair, which shows that the owner of this place has no intention of entertaining guests.
"This is clear water, you can leave after drinking. Outsiders are not welcome here. The old man pushed the water scoop forward and said in a deep voice.
Zhao Zheng recognized the old man in front of him as Lu Wen at a glance, smiled slightly, but did not rush to poke it, but took the water scoop first and drank a small sip of water.
The rest of the Taishan sect members were also looking at Lu Wen, but they were not sure that this old man was Lu Wen. Lu Wen was also a person who saw the head but not the tail of the dragon back then, and few people really saw Lu Wen, and these people did not have the opportunity to see Lu Wen's appearance, so they naturally couldn't recognize it.
After drinking the water, Zhao Zheng held the water ladle in both hands, returned it to Lu Wen respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Thank you Senior Lu for the water." ”
"You junior, your mouth is full of nonsense, I am not Lu Wen at all, why do you call me Senior Lu." Lu Wen took the water scoop, flicked the wide sleeves, and said displeasedly.
"Senior Lu, there is a saying that the eldest husband does not change his name and sits and does not change his surname, but his name is given by his parents, and you refuse to admit your name, I'm afraid it's not big, right?" Zhao Zhengji said.
"You!" Lu Wen said a word, but he was choked up and had nothing to say, refusing to admit his name, which was indeed the behavior of the rats, and even a little unfilial. He was also a master of the organ who was in the thick and wide back then, how could he stand this kind of agitation, the old face was slightly red, he gritted his teeth, and finally reluctantly admitted, "That's right, I'm Lu Wen, so what!" I didn't steal, I didn't rob, is it still a sin to live in seclusion? ”
"Senior, don't worry, of course it's understandable that you live in seclusion here, it's ours to come here to disturb your cultivation, I hope you will be old and angry, don't blame us." Zhao Zheng changed his solemn expression and said with a deep salute.
"How do you know that I live here and who betrayed me?"
"No one betrayed you, I was lucky enough to see you here back then, so I remember here. This time, the Taishan faction suddenly encountered a big disaster, and only you can help with this, so I will recommend you to the head of Jin, and then bring people here. I also asked Senior Lu to appreciate his face and help the Taishan faction this time, and afterwards the Taishan faction went up and down, and he must be grateful. ”
"Have you seen me?" Lu Wen frowned and wondered, "But why don't I have any impression of you." ”
"If you forget things, it must be your old man who forgot me. And at that time, we just had a quick face-to-face and didn't communicate much. But none of this matters, the important thing is that the Tarzan faction is in trouble, and we found you today, and we ask you to help us. Zhao Zheng covered up, and then brought the topic back to business.
"Well, if you can think of me, it must have something to do with the ambush of the agency. Now that it has come to this, I will no longer hide it, but come in. Levan stepped aside and pointed to the empty room behind him, "There aren't too many chairs and benches in the cold house, so you guys can be wronged." ”
Being able to be invited into the house is already a very good treatment compared to just now, and everyone has no objections, but thanks again and again, and they enter the house together. Levin closed the door, and then retreated, standing away from the uninvited guests. The people of the Taishan faction seized the opportunity and explained the purpose of coming here, and told the story of catching the spy and the mad knife desperate tower.
Listening to this story, Lu Wen's face became more and more unsightly. When I heard about the Tower of the Blade. It is slightly discolored. As the builder of this tower, he knows better than anyone else how dangerous this tower is.
After the explanation, Taishan sent everyone to give salutes one after another, imploring Lu Wen to teach the method of breaking the tower.
"Heroes, if it were thirty years ago, if you asked for my head, I would definitely not stand idly by because of the feelings of the Taishan faction. At the very least, I will go up the mountain to plead with the Three Swords Sect on your behalf. But now that I have washed my hands of gold, I no longer care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and please look at my age, don't embarrass me, let me live here for the sake of my age. Lu Wen's face was embarrassed, and he arched his hand at everyone.
How can the people of the Taishan faction be willing to leave like this, this time if they don't get the method of breaking the tower, these people will never give up. The crowd did not leave, and they begged and promised a heavy reward. But Levin just wouldn't help. The two sides were at a stalemate, and they spent a long time in this room.
Zhao Zheng saw that Lu Wen would not agree if he continued to consume it. It seems that he can only take the special means he knows, and that method is somewhat damaged, but the stakes are very high, and he can't take much care of it. He took two steps back, turned slowly, glanced around, and cast his gaze on the door on his right.
It was just an ordinary wooden door, and it looked unremarkable.
Zhao Zheng walked slowly to the wooden door, looking like this, he was actually going to break in without the permission of his master.
Lu Wen caught a glimpse of Zhao Zheng's actions, immediately frowned, and shouted: "Why are you junior walking around, that's where I sleep, it's inconvenient for outsiders to enter, you hurry up and stop me." ”
If it had been just now, Zhao Zheng would definitely have been polite to Lu Wen, but now the situation is different, Lu Wen is obviously a person who eats hard and does not eat soft. Relying on flattery or monetary reward, it is impossible to invite Lu Wen, the master of the organ.
He didn't listen to Lu Wen's words, but continued to walk forward, saying as he went: "Senior Lu, as a master of organs, did not build any mechanism ambush in his residence, it seems that he is really determined to wash his hands in the golden basin and no longer touch these things. ”
"Success is also an organ, and defeat is also an organ. The ambush helped me to be brilliant for most of my life, but it also caused me a lot of trouble, and in my later years, I lost the sharpness of my youth, and I was tired of fighting for me on the rivers and lakes, so I was determined to live in seclusion here. Now that you know this, stop pestering me here, and please come back quickly! Lu Wen waved his hand at the door and gave another order to evict the guest.
"Senior Lu, if it were an ordinary thing, we would definitely not bother you. But this time the matter is not trivial, the implication is huge, without your help, our Taishan faction is likely to suffer a big loss in the Crazy Sword Desperate Tower, and there may even be casualties! Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and I hope you will read this and make an exception to help us once. We're here just to know how to break the tower, and we won't force you to do anything else, and we'll keep it a secret for you afterwards to ensure that we won't reveal your whereabouts. In the future, you can still live in seclusion here and live your old age. Zhao Zheng stood at the door of the bedroom and pleaded for the last time.
"I've said everything I need to say, this kind of dispute between you has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved anymore. If you leave now, I can give you some good looks, and if you stay here, I'll drive you away!" Lu Wen said abruptly.
"The seniors really refuse to help this little favor?"
"No!"
"Well, since the seniors are unwilling, we can only find another way." Zhao Zheng said and stretched out his hand to the door, and stroked the slightly mottled door a few times, "Although the predecessors retired to the rivers and lakes and no longer touched those organs and ambushes, I think the manuscripts written by the predecessors when they studied the organs in their early years must still be kept, after all, those are your hard work." Over the years, when you've been bored, you've probably drawn a lot of sketches. If the seniors don't want to help, we can only borrow those things temporarily, presumably there must be a blueprint for the Crazy Knife Tower, although we are all laymen, we don't know what mechanism ambush, but with this blueprint, it should be able to help a lot. ”
Hearing these understatements, Lu Wen's face immediately turned red, and he blew his beard and glared: "You junior dare to use this to blackmail me!" It's so bold, when you are old and rotten in the rivers and lakes, you are still rolling in your mother's womb! You really don't know how thick the sky is, and you dare to follow me presumptuously! You don't inquire, am I, Lu Wen, a bully? ”
The people of the Taishan faction also changed color, they came to beg for help, how could they offend Lu Wen in turn. Everyone hurriedly transmitted the message to Zhao Zheng and asked Zhao Zheng to apologize to Lu Wen.
But Zhao Zheng did not waver, he was still doing his own thing, he said calmly: "Senior, and the anger of thunder, of course I know what kind of person you are, you have an eightfold heavenly cultivation, and the best kung fu is eagle claw power, and your strength is very extraordinary." However, you are lonely now, and with your strength, compared to a few of us, it is still a little worse. Seniors, we have something urgent, and rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention our group of martial artists? So please don't force us to be. ”
"Y-you're threatening me?" Lu Wen rolled his eyes angrily and looked at the Taishan sect people around him. Although the two sides are not familiar with each other, he can still feel that these people are not easy to match, if they really make a big fight, he alone will definitely not be the opponent of this group of people.
Zhao Zheng sang blackface, and several other disciples of the Taishan faction could only blush, and explained one after another. But these people are just making a fuss on the surface, but secretly they obviously acquiesce to Zhao Zheng's previous statement. They know very well the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and it would be fine if they didn't see Lu Wen, but now that they have seen Lu Wen, of course they are not willing to return empty-handed. Although Zhao Zheng's approach was rude, it was the only choice now.
Lu Wen's little arm couldn't twist everyone's thighs, he was not the opponent of the group of people from the Taishan faction at all, and he couldn't watch those precious manuscripts being taken away, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Okay." That's what I promise you. But you also have to keep it a secret for me, don't tell the Three Swords Sect about what I helped you, and don't reveal my whereabouts to outsiders. If I help you and you betray me, that's your fault. ”
Seeing that Lu Wen finally agreed to help, Taishan sent everyone to turn their worries into joy one by one, and hurriedly agreed to Lu Wen's small request, and thanked them again and again. Zhao Zheng knew that he had gone too far just now, and he also said a lot of good things to Lu Wen.
Although Lu Wen agreed to help, he still had a calm face and did not give everyone any good faces, obviously extremely reluctant. He ordered the group to wait, then returned to his bedroom and took out a table, a chair, and a set of blueprints drawn for the construction of the Blade Tower, which marked all the mechanisms for the ambush. He put the chair away, sat down, and began to explain to everyone how to break the tower. (To be continued......)
