If there is a high-level martial arts for sale in Binyang Town, there is only the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. Xingtian also inquired with the shopkeeper that every month the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce would hold an auction, and the surrounding martial artists, small sects, and martial arts families would send people to see if there were any needed goods. In the auction, there are all kinds of martial arts for sale.

And Xingtian is also very lucky, it is said that in two days, it will be this month's auction, which can be said to be better than lucky. So Xingtian found an inn, rented an upper room for a dozen taels of silver, and waited for the auction to open while cultivating.

At the same time, a strange thing happened to the outer gate of the Hexagram Mountain Sect.

In the outer gate, it can be said that there is a strict hierarchy, and the lowest level is said to be the miscellaneous disciples, and above the miscellaneous disciples are the official disciples of the outer gate, and then there are the disciples of the earth list, as well as the disciples of some elders. Above the disciples, there are deacons, and there are also low-level deacons and senior deacons, who are responsible for the affairs of the sect.

Basically, every class has its own circle, especially the first elder Zuo Changsong, who is the first person in the outer gate of the hexagram mountain, who is high on the top, and on weekdays, he is the dragon who sees the head but does not see the end, and spends most of his time in retreat and practice. But in the past few days, he often went to the deacon's cabinet, and every time he went, he went to find the same person.

This in itself is a strange thing.

This matter spread directly in the outer gate, but most of the disciples did not know about it, but the rumors were increasing. Some people say that Elder Zuo is sympathetic to the deacons who are the backbone of the force, and personally go to order martial arts, and some people say that there are deacons who are the sons of Elder Zuo's deceased, and even directly say that they are the illegitimate sons of Elder Zuo, and there are even more dirty disciples who muttered in private, could it be that Elder Zuo has a habit of dragon yang?

Of course, this kind of thing can only be passed on in private, and it is absolutely not dared to be said to the outside world.

But no matter what, Elder Zuo, who has never asked about the world, is unusual, which is really confusing, and the only ones who really know the inside story are only a few senior elders.

At this moment, in a big room, Yu Tonghai was standing there with his hands behind his back, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking about something, and behind him, Chu Yingjie and Xu Jiang were standing separately.

"Master, what do you mean by Elder Nazuo, why do you go to the Deacon's Pavilion every once in a while to find Chang Yu, it's really abnormal!" Chu Yingjie is still so proud, since he got the Jade Sky Medal, even in front of Yu Tonghai, he doesn't need to salute, but because if one day he is really recruited as a protégé by Mr. Bikong from the Inner Gate, his status will soar directly, and at that time, it will be Yu Tonghai who sees him, and he has to be honored Senior Brother Chu.

Yu Tonghai naturally knew this, but Chu Yingjie was strong, and he would also follow the light, so he wished that Chu Yingjie had entered the inner door earlier, and when he heard what he had just said, he was also puzzled.

"Hmph, Chang Yu is an ordinary deacon, his cultivation is just a pranayama realm, and he comes from a humble background, I didn't care when Zuo Changsong went to find him at first, but now Zuo Changsong basically goes there every three or five days, and I am also very surprised!"

Chu Yingjie said again: "Could it be that it is really rumored outside, what does Chang Yu have to do with Elder Zuo?"

Yu Tonghai shook his head and recalled: "No, Chang Yu entered the Hexagram Mountain fifteen years ago, but it took thirteen years to cultivate the Pranayama Realm and become a deacon, and Zuo Changsong has been in charge of the outer gate for several years, if the two of them have a relationship, how can Chang Yu still have this kind of cultivation and status? You must know that Zuo Changsong has entered the Tingyu Pavilion, and he and Mr. Bikong also called each other brothers, just give a little benefit, Chang Yu can at least cultivate to the Acupoint Opening Realm, and be an elder!"

"Then this thing is really weird!" Chu Yingjie couldn't figure out the key when he heard what Yu Tonghai said, sometimes things are like this, the more mysterious they are, the more they want to get to the bottom of it. Whether it is Chu Yingjie or Yu Tonghai, it is inevitable that this will be the case.

They speculated wildly here, but in the deacon's pavilion over there, Chang Yu was sweaty.

To be honest, some things are good things, just like being visited by the first elder of the outer gate, and this matter is a long-faced thing wherever it spreads. But no matter how good the thing is, it is also a degree, as the so-called extreme things must be opposed, if this first elder of the outer gate runs to the house every three or five times to beg for a cup of tea or exchange martial arts, it will be two or three hours, and no one can stand it.

Just like at this moment, Elder Zuo came over in the name of playing chess with himself, and he sat for two hours.

For this First Elder, Chang Yu was quite in awe, the first few times, he didn't have the courage to ask, but this time, Chang Yu decided to ask clearly no matter what, why this Elder Zuo was so concerned about himself.

Of course, even if he doesn't ask, Chang Yu can guess some clues. Every time this Elder Zuo came, although he would find some excuses, or drink tea, or play chess, his eyes would always glance inadvertently at a painting on the wall.

It is the 'Hexagram Mountain Cloud and Mist Map' given by Xingtian.

In addition, Elder Zuo will also use words to tempt, all about the inner door, but how can Chang Yu know about the inner door, naturally he doesn't know.

Chang Yu was troubled, but he didn't know that Elder Zuo on the other side was more entangled than him.

As the first person in the outer gate of the Hexagram Mountain, Zuo Changsong can be said to be a high authority, and with his age and cultivation, he really has no other pursuits except for the pursuit of martial arts.

And he had studied art in the inner door, and he had been a protégé of Mr. Tingyu for a few years, but he benefited a lot, if it weren't for the doubts about martial arts in his heart after listening to Mr. Yu's doubts about martial arts in those years, Zuo Changsong would not have been able to break through the realm of rigidity and softness, and he could see the wonders.

Therefore, the inner gate and the Listening Rain Pavilion are the most sacred places in his heart.

He knew that Mr. Tingyu was a real master, and his cultivation was unfathomable, but he had two hobbies, one was listening to the rain and drinking, and the other was painting.

Mr. Tingyu loves painting, even to the point of madness, everyone in the inner door knows, and Tingyu Pavilion is also full of Mr. Tingyu's paintings. Zuo Changsong remembered very clearly that when he was in the Listening to the Rain Pavilion, there was a 'Hexagram Mountain Cloud and Mist Map', which was exactly the same as the one he inadvertently saw in Chang Yu's room.

Although Zuo Changsong is not proficient in painting, his knowledge is not low, and there are many people in the inner door who are proud of the heavens and are absolutely talented to copy Mr. Tingyu's painting, but it is difficult to paint the essence of it.

Only this one in Chang Yu's room really reproduces the extreme of Mr. Tingyu's painting, and even says that in some details it is beyond the original work that Sachomatsu saw in Tingyu Pavilion.

It was a shock to him.

There are a few things that Zuo Changsong doesn't understand, the first is that although Chang Yu is a deacon, it is impossible for him to enter the inner door and get a glimpse of Mr. Yu's true handiwork, so where did this painting come from? Who painted it? Second, if it is assumed that this painting was painted by Chang Yu, then when did he paint it? You must know that some elders of the outer door also have some so-called paintings flowing out of the inner door, but they are all imitations, he himself has a few, although the painting is exquisite, but there is a lack of charm, two artistic conception and three aura, can only deceive people who do not know how to deceive, according to the cat and the tiger can only be not like a cat or a tiger. But this one in Chang Yu's room is different, with charm, artistic conception, and aura, and even Zuo Changsong has a bold guess, that is, this painting, not a copy, but really from the hand of Mr. Tingyu.

If that's the case, then it's a lot of fun.

That's why after he discovered this painting, he came every once in a while, nominally drinking tea, playing chess and chatting about martial arts, but in fact to observe the authenticity of this painting.

Some people asked, and as Zuo Changsong, he could directly ask Chang Yu and let him tell the truth, but the actual situation was that Zuo Changsong didn't dare to ask.

He was afraid!

This thing seems a little strange to say, but it is a fact, Zuo Changsong knows that if this painting is not painted by Chang Yu, then the artistic conception and charm of this painting are mostly from the hand of Mr. Tingyu, if so, then the matter is big.

Listening to Mr. Yu's paintings, how did you run into a small deacon's room?

With Chang Yu's cultivation, it is absolutely impossible, so it can only be a gift. Not to mention anything else, just this painting is hanging here, if it is really painted by Mr. Yu, the deterrent power is more terrible than the jade card in Chu Yingjie's hand, and from then on, no one in the outer door dares to be disrespectful to Chang Yu.

Of course, there is also a possibility that this painting was painted by Chang Yu or someone else.

It's just that from the bottom of his heart, Sachomatsu doesn't believe that anyone can surpass Mr. Tingyu in painting, so he thinks that this is unlikely, or even impossible at all, and after his repeated observation of that painting, it is also concluded that this is from Mr. Tingyu's hand.

After coming to this conclusion, Zuo Changsong was quite excited, a little jealous, and three points confused. Finally, the old man couldn't help it, but he looked up at Chang Yu, who was quite cramped, and asked, "Deacon Chang, I have something to ask you, I hope it won't be abrupt!"

Hearing Zuo Changsong's question, Chang Yu naturally said respectfully: "Elder Zuo, it's okay to ask, Chang Yu must know everything......

"Okay!" Zuo Chang loosely put down the chess pieces in his hand, then got up and looked at the painting on the wall and said, "May I ask Deacon Chang, where did you get this painting?"

It's finally time to ask!

Chang Yu knew that the other party's target must be this painting, but the other party didn't ask, and he didn't want to speak, and now he was relieved to see Zuo Changsong asking, but he said truthfully: "Since Elder Zuo asked, Chang Yu told the truth, this painting ...... It's a ...... A gift from a friend!"

Thinking of Xingtian, Chang Yu didn't know what to call it for a while, and felt that he and Xingtian were very speculative, and they could be regarded as New Year's friends, so they were called friends.

As everyone knows, the pause when he was thinking made Zuo Changsong's heart beat a few times unconsciously, obviously, this old guy misunderstood something again.

"Speaking of which, this friend Elder Zuo also knows that he is ......" Chang Yu was about to say Xingtian's name, but Zuo Changsong suddenly interrupted: "Don't say it, don't say it, I know, I understand, Deacon Chang Yu is so blessed, it's getting late today, so I'll take my leave, and I'll come back to see the painting another day!"

Zuo Changsong had a knowing expression, but he was envious, and until he left, Chang Yu was puzzled, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this Elder Zuo's gourd, and he doesn't know that when he said the word 'friend', the naked envy and jealousy on Zuo Changsong's face.

In Chang Yu's opinion, Elder Zuo left inexplicably, thinking that the matter would come to an end, but he didn't expect that on the second day, two more elders ran to him. These two elders are also high-level in the outer gate, and their cultivation is a great achievement in the realm of rigidity and softness, practicing yin and yang, and they are real martial arts masters, they don't even look at Chang Yu on weekdays, but now they are polite to Chang Yu, which makes people not used to it.

There is no need to ask, the two of them also came to watch the painting, maybe they got some inside information from Elder Zuo, they were all mysterious and secretive, and they didn't say much, and they left after reading it, with a look of unfinished thinking, which was really confusing.

It was like this for several days, either Zuo Changsong, or the elders who were good with Zuo Changsong, and later, some ordinary elders who seemed to have heard something about it also came to see the painting, and it was only at this time that Chang Yu found that things seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

A few days later, two more people stood at the door of Chang Yu's room.

The two people came and went, but the strange thing was that both the deacons and the miscellaneous disciples who came and went seemed to be unable to see the two of them, and ignored the two of them.

One of them was no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a green shirt, jade face and sword eyebrows, slender eyes, extremely dashing, and a jade flute hanging from his waist, while the other was an old man wearing a linen shirt with his hands and feet pulled up, revealing his arms and legs, and the old man's hair was neatly tied up and tied into a round bone with a cyan linen cloth.
