Chapter 260: The Third Way

Then he asked me again: "You are from the Luo family, but why haven't I seen you?" ”

I said, "Distant relatives have only recently returned to Luo's house." ”

Seriously, I admired myself a little bit at the time, and I didn't even need to make a draft to tell nonsense.

He looked at me suspiciously, and asked me again, "Which lineage of the Lao Luo family do you belong to?" ”

I said, "It's in the Eagle Claw Flip lineage." ”

His eyes widened suddenly: "The old Luo family still has the inheritance of the eagle claw flipper?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

I noticed that when I spoke, Luo Fei kept looking at me with a very nervous look, as if he was afraid that I would show my stuff.

If the old man in front of me asks a few more words, it will only be a matter of time before I show my feet.

His eyes kept looking at me, looking over and over again, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, pointed to my waist, and then pointed to my shoulder, and said, "Fantianyin, Qinggang Sword, you are Zuo Youdao." ”

He spoke in a calm tone, but when the voice reached my ears, I felt ashamed, and I felt as if I had been forcibly ripped off the fig leaf and thrown naked on the road.

However, now that I have been recognized, I have no reason to pretend anymore, suppressing the shame in my heart, I showed him an indifferent smile and nodded.

He probably didn't expect me to react like this, and when he saw me smiling at him, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he frowned slightly and asked me, "The people of Jisoulzhuang, what are you doing in Baiwu Mountain?" ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at Yan Xiaotian, with a bit of reproach in his eyes.

In this case, there seems to be no other option to either be honest or concealed. But I knew in my heart that I had a third way to go.

I thought about it for a long time, and remembered that Master had said that this old master from Baiwu Mountain was a very virtuous elder, and I still planned to gamble once.

I decided to confess, I knew there was a third way to go, but I decided to confess anyway.

I exhaled softly and said to him, "Steal the title deed." ”

He didn't seem to understand what I meant: "Title deeds? What title deeds? ”

Just as he was talking, Luo Fei took out the title deed of the Luo family from his backpack and showed it to the old master.

He stared at the title deed and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing his expression, I can probably guess that this old master probably doesn't know that the Luo family's title deed is also in Baiwu Mountain.

As soon as I saw the play, I decided to try to see if the third way could work: "In addition to getting back the title deed of the Luo family, I actually have another thing when I come this time." ”

The old master raised his head and stared at me, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "This matter may be related to the rise and fall of Baiwu Mountain in the next hundred years, but ...... This is not the place to talk. ”

The old master's eyes became more puzzled when he looked at me, and he pondered for a moment before he asked me, "What is it about?" ”

I said succinctly: "About the next generation of the head of Baiwu Mountain. ”

As soon as I said this, Yan Xiaotian probably guessed what I wanted to do, he pulled my arm and said to me with some anger: "Zuo Youdao, don't get involved in my affairs." ”

"Your business?" The old master squinted at Yan Xiaotian, and his tone was a little cold: "Who said that I was going to pass on the position of the head of the sect to you?" ”

Yan Xiaotian was suddenly dumbfounded and silently stepped aside.

The old master looked at me again, his eyes so deep and thick that it was impossible to see what he was thinking. But when he looked at me, I could only look at him, and at such times, there was no escape from my eyes, and I had no intention of running away from anything.

After a few minutes, the old master suddenly asked me, "What kind of cultivation are you doing now?" How many times can you reach your master's? ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Thirty percent, under certain conditions, it can reach fifty percent." ”

The old master stroked the two mustaches on his lips and asked me, "How many years have you been learning art with your master?" ”

This time, I didn't have to think about it, and responded to him directly: "It's been seven years." ”

He looked at me, then at Yan Xiaotian, and finally sighed and said to me, "You come with me." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the mouth of the alley.

I couldn't come back to my senses, and I also looked at Yan Xiaotian, who spread his hands at me with a puzzled expression. It seemed that even he didn't know what the old master was thinking.

Following the old master, no one can say whether it is a blessing or a curse.

But now that I'm on someone else's territory, I have no choice but to follow suit.

The old master doesn't walk fast, and it's easy for me to keep up with him. When passing by an intersection, Zhao Dekai came out of the attic window, a few years later, he is still the same as back then, dressed up and down to look dignified, but there is a ruthless temperament that is quite unreasonable.

I recognized him, but he didn't recognize me, just looked at me at the window, and he retracted his head.

Thinking about it, I have changed a lot over the years, and it is normal for Zhao Dekai not to recognize me.

And when Zhao Dekai pushed open the window, the old master didn't even look at him.

After four or five streets, the old master finally brought me to a dilapidated hut, and he told Yan Xiaotian and Luo Fei to wait outside, leaving me alone to enter the house.

The room was located in a blind spot that could not be covered by the light of the ever-bright lamp, and the room was very dark, so the old master lit the oil lamp and poured me a glass of cold water.

He sat on a chair in the deepest part of the room and asked me slowly, "How is Chai Laoyan doing?" ”

I asked, "Who?" ”

The old master looked at me angrily: "Chai Laoyan, your master." ”

I said, "That's good." ”

The old master said "um" and said, "When I first met him, my master predicted that he would not live to be seventy, but I didn't expect him to live more and more over the years. Alas, that is, he can have this life. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the water glass in my hand and asked me, "Why don't you drink water?" ”

I smiled a little awkwardly and honestly said, "I'm afraid of toxicity." ”

Hearing me say this, the old master's face turned green, but he didn't delve into it, but changed the topic: "You said, you are here for the next generation of leaders, what is the matter?" ”

I put the glass on the table and responded, "When I met Yan Xiaotian in Henan, Yan Xiaotian was followed. ”

The old master frowned: "Yan Xiaotian? Who told you he was the next generation......"

Without waiting for the old master to finish speaking, I picked up the following words: "The person who tracked him down is Zhao Dekai." ”

I have heard Master say that the next generation of the leaders of Baiwu Mountain are nothing more than Yan Xiaotian and Zhao Dekai, but Zhao Dekai is not right, and the old master has always looked down on him.

When he heard the words "Zhao Dekai", the old man's hand trembled violently, he seemed to be afraid that I would see the anxiety in his heart, and deliberately pulled his sleeve to cover this hand.

He took a deep breath before he raised his head and looked at me: "Yan Xiaotian, Zhao Dekai, what does the matter between the two of them have to do with the next generation of Baiwu Mountain Sect?" You don't think that the next generation of heads of Baiwu Mountain will come out of these two people, right? ”

When he spoke, there was a smile at the corner of his mouth and eyes, as if I had guessed wrong.

To be honest, seeing his expression at the time, I really thought I guessed wrong. But when I looked back, not only did Master say that Yan Xiaotian and Zhao Dekai were the last two candidates for the next generation of Baiwu Mountain Sect, and even Senior Brother Bao and Senior Brother Feng had mentioned this matter.

Anything, as long as Senior Brother Bao and Senior Brother Feng investigate and deduce the results, there will be no mistakes.

Thinking so in my heart, I became firm again, stared into the eyes of the old master and said: "I guessed correctly, the next generation of the head of Baiwu Mountain is to come out of these two people, not to mention anything else, in terms of cultivation alone, only these two people can support the foundation of Baiwu Mountain." ”

The old master and I looked at each other and didn't say a word.

I was silent for a moment, and then said to him: "Zhao Dekai is a person with a bad heart, even if you hand over Baiwu Mountain to him, he won't be able to keep it." ”

While speaking, I took out Zhao Dekai's incense box from my pocket and handed it to the old master.

The old master took the box, opened it, and as soon as the yin qi leaked out, he immediately closed the lid.

He looked up and asked me, "What is this?" ”

I didn't answer him directly, but asked rhetorically, "Do you know the lineage of the tomb guards?" ”

The old master put the incense box aside, looked at me suspiciously, and nodded.

I asked him again, "Do you know that a 'burial' organization has recently appeared in our business?" ”

This time, the old master shook his head.

I put my mind down and connected the Dragon King's Tomb, Wang Dafu, the Evil Tomb, the mysterious organization, Yin Jade, all the things into a line, and selectively told the old master what I had experienced in the past two years.

To be honest, the risk of me doing this is very high, in case one hundred Wushan is a branch of the burial organization, in case the old master is the person in that organization, his cultivation is higher than mine, and his experience is richer than mine, as long as he wants to deal with me, I will definitely be dead or alive today. But in the current situation, I can only make a bet, and my only bet is Master's judgment of the old master.

Master once said that the old master is a good person with a pedantic personality, and I don't care what his personality is, I just hope that he is a good person.

When I spoke, the old master kept looking at me quietly and did not say a word.

After recounting my experiences over the years, I added: "I now suspect that Zhao Dekai is very likely to have something to do with that mysterious organization. ”

The old master looked at me, his face was a little cloudy, and it was a long time before he took his eyes off my face and looked at the yin jade on the table.

When he reached out to grab the incense box, I said to him again: "Actually, with Yan Xiaotian's character, he is not suitable to lead Baiwu Mountain. ”

The old master looked at me again: "What do you mean?" ”

This time, I could clearly see the anger in his eyes.

When this look appeared, I knew that the master was right, and the old master had indeed secretly promised Yan Xiaotian the throne. I just said so many bad things about Zhao Dekai, and he didn't say a word, but I just questioned Yan Xiaotian, and he was going to be annoyed.

I smiled and explained, "He's too kind, easy to be deceived, and easy to be taken advantage of. In fact, Zhao Dekai stalked about him, he knew, but I bet that he had never mentioned this matter since he returned to Baiwu Mountain for so long. ”

The old master's face softened a little, and he touched his chin while staring into my eyes, and I couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

After a long time, the old man didn't speak, so I could only lead him to speak: "Of course, in our Soul Village, Yan Xiaotian is more suitable than Zhao Dekai to sit in the position of the palm faction. ”
