Chapter 21 Drawing the Serpent Out of the Hole
After selecting the exercises, the two went downstairs to retrieve the jade plaque, and the sleeping man gave them a copy of the exercises before they left the scripture pavilion. It's a pity that he didn't see the sleeping strange man's face from beginning to end, even when he copied the exercises for Chen Rui and Zhu Wen, he didn't get up, and the strange man could actually close his eyes like a cloud, which can be said to be very amazing.
However, what surprised Chen Rui the most was the method of copying the book, when the strange man held the book in one hand and the jade plate in the other, and after a while, the contents of the book were stored in the jade plate. Then the strange man ordered Chen Rui to drop a drop of blood onto the jade plate, and the blood did not flow away as expected, but was actually absorbed by the jade plate completely. It is said that this is done to prevent the leakage of the exercises, and if someone who has not dripped blood to confess the Lord forcibly uses the divine mind to explore the jade plaque, it will cause the jade plaque to explode and destroy the exercises in it. This magical encryption method made Chen Rui and Zhu Wen dumbfounded, it was really unheard of and unseen.
On the way, Chen Rui introduced Lei Yan to Zhu Wen, and Lei Yan was not surprised at all when he heard that the two of them were introduced to this world together. The three of them talked happily, Lei Yan told the two of them a lot of interesting knowledge, and just as they were talking about Xingtou, the appearance of the two people ruined this happy atmosphere. The person who came was none other than the brothers Xiao Yu and Xiao Heng. The Xiao brothers were also stunned when they saw Chen Rui, and then snorted coldly and walked quickly towards the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, probably to help his cousin choose exercises.
"What, do you know this Xiao Yu?" asked Lei Yan as he looked at the distant backs of the Xiao brothers.
"Well, something unpleasant happened some time ago. Chen Rui replied.
"What is this Xiao Yu doing here? Aren't they majoring in formations, Heavenly Array Peak has a separate Exercise Book Pavilion, so they shouldn't come here to look for exercises." Zhu Wen had some understanding of Heavenly Array Peak and asked suspiciously.
"Maybe I'm interested in the exercises here, otherwise I wouldn't have come here. Lei Yan speculated.
Chen Rui also felt that this matter was a little strange in his heart, that Xiao Yu just saw that their eyes were not on him, and he always felt that he was looking at Zhu Wen, and he didn't know what the conspiracy was. But just now Lei Yan actually knew Xiao Yu, and he didn't dare to say it in detail, so he could only take a chance to talk to Zhu Wen alone.
"Senior brother, how do you know that Xiao Yu?" asked Chen Rui.
"I have a good friend, he is practicing in the Heavenly Array Peak, I used to go to him often, I met this Xiao Yu a few times, and gradually got to know him. Lei Yan replied calmly.
......
After discussing for a while and there was no result, Chen Rui gave up. However, he couldn't see his senior brother Lei Yan more and more clearly, in the conversation just now, Lei Yan could answer every question of them without leaking, and the degree of good talk was different from ordinary people. However, he has only been with Lei Yan for half a day, and he doesn't know Lei Yan's specific personality, so he doesn't think much about it.
Coming out of the Scripture Pavilion, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and they all seemed to be in a hurry as if something was happening.
"What's going on?" Lei Yan asked, holding a young man. The young disciple was suddenly grabbed and was about to get angry, but when he saw Lei Yan's clothes, he immediately smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong with this senior brother looking for me?"
"I see that you are all in a hurry, is there anything big that can't happen?" asked Lei Yan.
"You still don't know about this?" the young man was a little surprised, and said, "I heard that Elder Zhou of the Heavenly Array Peak has been kneeling alone in front of the Meteorite Pavilion today for several hours, and the specific situation is unknown, so we all rushed there. ”
When Lei Yan heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he was very surprised, and he dragged an excuse to leave Chen Rui and Zhu Wen and go to the Falling Star Pavilion first. Chen Rui would not stop Lei Yan, he happened to have something to discuss with Zhu Wen.
After the disciple left with doubts on his face, Chen Rui pulled Zhu Wen into a secluded corridor.
"What's wrong?Did you find anything?" Zhu Wen asked when he saw Chen Rui's mysterious appearance.
Chen Rui looked around again, and whispered to Zhu Wen: "Judging from the current performance, it is estimated that something big will happen in this Sword Killing Gate. Take my senior brother Lei Yan as an example, the content of his conversation with us just now was all airtight, as if it had been arranged in advance. Maybe he's being placed around me by someone, and I think someone is eyeing us. ”
When Zhu Wen thought about it, he also felt weird, when Lei Yan was talking to them, he answered fluently, it didn't seem like he came up with it on the spot, he obviously did his homework. "That's not a bad thing you say, but who would be interested in us? ”
"I don't know who they are or what their purpose is, but it's better to be careful. Chen Rui reminded Zhu Wen.
Zhu Wen agreed with Chen Rui's opinion, after all, in this strange place, it is very likely that one accidentally lost his life.
Suddenly, Chen Rui had a plan and said, "Just now I looked at the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion where Xiao Yu seemed to be looking for you, but when I saw me beside you, there was no movement. You just have to cooperate with me...... This is very likely to lead to that Xiao Yu, and then you will take his words again. ”
"Okay, just according to what you say!" Zhu Wen was convinced of Chen Rui's judgment.
There weren't many disciples in the Sword Killing Sect in the first place, and most of them were distributed on the main peaks, and almost all the disciples who didn't have a task on this Heavenly Pillar Peak had rushed to the Meteorite Pavilion now. There were few pedestrians on the road, and Zhu Wen walked slowly on the stone road alone, pretending to be very tired, stopping to rest every hundred steps, and falling behind after a while.
Sure enough, when Zhu Wen was resting under a dense tree, there was a person who found him accurately, and the person who came was none other than Wang Dali, who came together.
Zhu Wen was very surprised, he never expected Wang Dali to come out so soon, and hurriedly asked, "Wang Dali, why did you come out?"
"How can it be so easy!" Wang Dali shook his head, but his expression was much better than before, and then he looked around for a while, and then said in a low voice, "But I have a way now, but I need your help, and you have to help me keep it a secret." ”
"What kind of solution is it?" Zhu Wenxiao asked, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"You have to keep it a secret for me, or I won't tell you. Wang Dali said solemnly.
In desperation, Zhu Wen had to agree to him temporarily. Seeing that Zhu Wen agreed, Wang Dali said slowly: "You also knew a few days ago that I couldn't take the road of cultivating the truth, but one day, a disciple in our peak found me. It is said that the Heavenly Array Peak has a secret method that can wash the marrow of the I Ching, and this kind of formation can help me recover as soon as possible. Afterwards, I went to inquire about the master, and he also said that the Heavenly Array Peak had this kind of secret method, but he had a bad relationship with the elders of the Heavenly Array Peak and did not speak. But I heard that Zhou Xiaodong, the elder of the Heavenly Array Peak, came to the Meteorite Pavilion today, knelt down in front of the spirit cards of the ancestors of the generations and repented, as if he wanted to rebuild the relationship with other elders, just for the long-term cause of the Sword Killing Gate. ”
"So you want to take this opportunity to use the secret method of the Heavenly Array Peak, but there is no need to keep this matter secret. Zhu Wen was puzzled.
Wang Dali leaned into Zhu Wen's ear and said, "You don't know, I also discovered a major secret. I had secretly contacted that Xiao Yu, and he told me that his master had an ancient formation book, which seemed to record the kind of magic circle we teleported over, but unfortunately he only glanced at it, and did not remember it. If you want to read that book, you have to do him a favor. ”
"Help what?" asked Zhu Wen straight to the point.
"Xiao Yu's realm has not broken through for a long time, he wants to use a person from the Heavenly Spirit Root to use the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array to help him, I could have helped him, but unfortunately I can't cultivate, and Chen Rui has a holiday with him, so only you can help him. In return, of course, he will help us steal the tome. Wang Dali did not hide it, and told everything he knew.
Zhu Wen saw that Wang Dali didn't look like he was lying, so he asked: "You don't want Chen Rui to know about the secrecy, then Xiao Yu wants Chen Rui to be trapped here without being able to return to the earth in this life, do you think it's okay?"
Wang Dali spread his hands and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, it was Xiao Yu who mentioned it, I can only do this." Those who know the times are Junjie, anyway, everyone is just meeting in Pingshui, can you miss this rare opportunity?"
Zhu Wen discussed with Wang Dali again, and he left only after he was sure that Wang Dali had not been deceived.
At this time, Chen Rui was in a remote attic, where he and Zhu Wen met to discuss how to deal with the people behind the scenes.
