After about a stick of incense, the smoke in the house gradually dissipated, and Qingzhou also woke up from a semi-comatose state, with a face full of unfinished meaning. Mo Ling had been waiting impatiently on the side, and after seeing Qingzhou get up, he asked, "Is it over?"

"It's over," Qingzhou nodded, his voice slightly tired, "The next few days will be difficult." ”

Mo Ling didn't understand the meaning of Qingzhou's words, and didn't have time to think about it, so he continued to ask, "Then should you tell me the news?" ”

"Don't worry, yours are indispensable, not a word is missed. Do you want to listen here, or somewhere else?"

"Let's change places, the air here makes me uncomfortable. Moling frowned, opened the door and walked out first. Qingzhou saw it behind him, and only muttered two words: "Stranger." ”

When he went back, Mo Ling didn't let Qingzhou lead the way, and he felt the darkness in front of the stone gate. As soon as I stepped out of the stone gate, the sunlight poured down overhead, so that it was not dazzling, and the sound of passing cars and horses that had disappeared for a long time also came from the other end of the alley.

The magic feather covered her eyes, and it took a while to recover, and when she looked back, Qingzhou was curled up on the ground, her eyes closed, and her expression was painful. Demon Ling was frightened, and quickly leaned down and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay...... Qingzhou waved his hand, hiding his eyes deep in his sleeves, "It'll be fine in a while." ”

There was no way, Mo Ling had to wait by the side, waiting for Qingzhou to recover. Just when Mo Ling was bored, he heard Qingzhou speak: "It's strange, you are also in the stone room, and you have drunk so many thousand days with me, why are you like a nobody." ”

"The smoke itself is thin, and I am far away from the incense burner, and the thousand days of drunkenness are almost completely sucked by you. Mo Ling explained. Qingzhou felt that it was not unreasonable, so he nodded and didn't say anything more.

After about a cup of tea, Qingzhou finally got up from the ground, and his spirit recovered a little, so he said to Mo Ling: "Let's find a teahouse to sit down, and I'll tell you the news." ”

Of course, Mo Ling had no objections, so he followed Qingzhou, turned left and right into a small teahouse, called a pot of coarse tea, poured it full, and began to listen to Qingzhou tell the news that he had hidden for a long time.

"That person secretly came to visit the Heavenly Son Pavilion a while ago, but the three elders didn't want to see him-" Qing Zhou had just said this, but was interrupted by Mo Ling, "Who is that person?"

"How do I know," Qingzhou said as a matter of course, "I only know him, not his name." Besides, I should ask you about this kind of thing, and your master didn't tell you?"

Regarding the "that person" in Qingzhou's mouth, Nandouxing really didn't mention a word, and Mo Ling didn't dare to rush to identify him as Mo Zixu, the sect leader of the Mo family, at this time, it is better to press this question for the time being, and listen to what Qingzhou has to say next.

Seeing that Mo Ling didn't react, Qing Zhou shrugged his shoulders and continued: "If you want to say that person, it is indeed a bit mysterious, although the third elder doesn't like him, he doesn't dare to snub him. Every time he sneaked into the Heavenly Son Pavilion, he could enter the inner courtyard where the three elders were without hindrance. Don't ask me how I know these things, and even if you did, I wouldn't tell. ”

"I don't ask, you go on. ”

"That man ran to the Tianzi Pavilion again and again, sometimes mixed in the crowd to observe the eight masters to learn martial arts, sometimes sneaked into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read the classics, and once or twice, sat directly in the lobby and listened to the lectures of Mr. with the students. ”

"In your opinion, what is the purpose of his visit to the Son of Heaven Pavilion?" asked Mo Ling.

"Isn't this obvious, of course, I want to steal the martial arts of Tianzi Pavilion. Qingzhou replied without thinking.

Mo Ling touched her chin, not fully agreeing with Qingzhou's thoughts. Since this person has a different relationship with the three elders, and he can listen to Mr. Lecturing in a dignified manner, there is no way to talk about stealing the word learning. But judging from the things he did, everything was related to martial arts, so it seemed to make some sense to say that he coveted the martial arts of Tianzi Pavilion. But if what he wanted was really a martial arts method, why didn't he just ask the three elders for it, did it mean that the three elders didn't agree after he asked for it? The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was heavily guarded, but he was able to come and go freely, so it was hard to say that the Third Elder didn't know about this-or, or was it that the martial arts classics he wanted couldn't be found in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion?

As if he had seen through Mo Ling's thoughts, Qingzhou said at this time: "Today's Scripture Pavilion is no longer the Scripture Pavilion it used to be, have you heard of this matter?"

"Oh-you're talking about the fire in the Pavilion half a year ago. Mo Ling nodded.

"That's right, that fire almost burned down the Scripture Pavilion, and although the Scripture Pavilion was rebuilt later, the books inside," Qingzhou put his mouth to Mo Ling's ear and whispered, "I heard that they were all martial arts rubbings that were secretly purchased from outside. ”

"I don't know who has such a great ability to come up with so many rubbings," Qingzhou retracted his head and said with envy, "In short, he must have made a lot of money by selling the rubbings to Tianzi Pavilion." ”

"Didn't the Heavenly Son Pavilion investigate the cause of the fire?" asked Mo Ling again.

"Hey, where is the need to investigate, that fire was put by a certain master in front of the Tianzi Pavilion. I heard that there were seven heads present at the time, but they were entangled by two thieves who broke into the Tianzi Pavilion and couldn't get out, and the two sides were in a good fight, but the Hidden Scripture Pavilion suddenly caught fire. The mysterious master came suddenly, set fire to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and then disappeared, never showing his face from beginning to end. ”

"I see......"

"It's far away, it's far away," Qingzhou waved his hand, "Anyway, what I want to say is that since that person came to Tianzi Pavilion more and more times since half a year ago, it must have something to do with the fire in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion." ”

"Quite possibly. Moling nodded approvingly.

"Tianzi Pavilion is the first university hall in Qinglong City, even the county guard has to give three points to the three elders, but that person didn't take the three elders very seriously, it can be seen that that person's background is not shallow," Qingzhou said this, and glanced at Mo Ling meaningfully, "Your master has laid more than one eyeliner in Tianzi Pavilion, and has been tracking that person for more than a year, so in this way, your master is not an ordinary person." ”

Qingzhou's words were both like an inquiry and a confirmation, and Mo Ling shrugged his shoulders and did not answer. Qingzhou was very knowledgeable, and did not continue to ask, but continued: "The last time that person came to Tianzi Pavilion happened to be three days ago. After he entered the inner courtyard, he seemed to have a quarrel with the three elders, and then left the Tianzi Pavilion in anger. ”

"Why are they arguing?"

"I don't know. After he left, the three elders were also very unhappy, so they called the eight heads to the inner courtyard, probably to reprimand. When the eight heads came out, all of them didn't look good. Speaking of this, Qingzhou couldn't help laughing, and Mo Ling felt strange, so he asked, "What's so funny about this?"

"You don't know," Qingzhou restrained his smile slightly, "Usually, the eight heads of the Eight Great Sects are used to acting in the Tianzi Pavilion, and the people below are quite scornful of them, but they are afraid of their power, and they dare not speak out." The fire half a year ago slapped Tianzi Pavilion hard, and the seven heads present watched the fire and were powerless to rescue, and they were even more disgraced. After that, the people below often used it to ridicule those leaders. It's the same this time, if the leaders are not happy, we will be happy, you know what I mean?"

"I understand. ”

"Okay, that's all I have to say, does your master have any other orders?" "What do you mean by other orders?"

"If not, forget it. Qingzhou stood up and straightened his clothes, "Then I'll leave first." ”

Seeing Qingzhou get up to leave, Mo Ling had an idea and said, "After you go back, don't let your guard down." I'll look for you again. ”

"Isn't it over yet?" Qingzhou was a little unhappy when he heard this, "This is different from what I said before." ”

"I'm just passing on the order as it is, and if you have any grievances, I can also convey them for you. After speaking, Mo Ling looked straight at Qingzhou, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Qingzhou looked away, smacked his lips, and said reluctantly, "I know." Don't forget to bring something next time you visit. With that, Qingzhou left the teahouse without looking back.

After seeing Qingzhou leave, Mo Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to what he meant just now, the year-long connection between Nandouxing and Qingzhou is over, but it's a pity to throw away such a good eyeliner, from now on, wouldn't it be nice to let him be used by me.

Thinking of this, Mo Ling was in a good mood, paid for the tea, and slowly paced back to Zhuyitang in the city.
