Chapter 13: Undercurrents

The Red Lotus Gate is indeed inferior to the Jade Jiao Gate, no matter in which respect, in comparison, the Red Lotus Gate is at least one level lower than the Jade Jiao Gate. But even so, Lin Xun slept very soundly here last night, much more soundly than when he was in Yujiaomen.

Although the guest rooms here are not as good as those in Jade Jiaomen, they are much better than the places where he once lived.

The night was peaceful, Lin Xun slept until he woke up naturally in the morning, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the big burden that he threw on the table yesterday, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't opened the burden yet.

He got up and opened the baggage, "clothes, money, a small umbrella, the key left by the fat man, and the dream bottle, which contains ...... Xie Chunjiu, as well as psychic potpourri cake. ”

He was surprised and delighted, these were the most important things, but he didn't expect the door master to clean them up for him.

"Knock knock. "There was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Oh, Lin Xun, it's me, Zhou Shaoqi, the door master asked you to come over. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

"Hey. ”

Going to see the master of the Red Lotus Gate, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he had been unhappy before, and he didn't know what would happen this time. Lin Xun's vigilance, which he had just let down, was rekindled at this moment.

Lin Xun packed up and followed Zhou Shaoqi to a main hall, and sitting in the middle was the master of the Red Lotus Gate, Xuan Yuefu.

Whether it was before or now, he is so beautiful, a man has such a look, he can be poetic and picturesque, and people can meet like a fairy. In Lin Xun's view, he is more like a literati, there was a moment when Lin Xun wanted to let down his guard, but when he thought of what happened before, he was angry, and the fire of vigilance suddenly ignited.

Seeing Lin Xun coming, Xuan Yuefu slowly stood up and walked in front of him and looked at him.

In the quiet air, Lin Xun's heart was pounding, ready to answer at any time.

"I'm sorry last time. Xuan Yuefu was the first to open her mouth.

Lin Xun was surprised, his eyes widened slightly. He would apologize? I didn't expect that. But his voice is also very good, how could such an almost perfect person set foot in this life and death rivers and lakes?

"Last time, ......" Seeing Xuan Yuefu apologize, Lin Xun was embarrassed to say anything more.

"This is what I planned with Rui Jingchen to take advantage of you a little. ”

"Conspiracy?"

"Yes, I can't say it yet, but when it's over, if you want to know, I'll tell you. You stay here these days, don't run around. ”

"But I'm still going to the Tang Gate?" he never forgot Xujingchen's words.

"I'll send you there in a few days. ”

"This ......"

"Any questions?"

"Well, that's fine. Lin Xun had to agree.

When he heard Xuan Yuefu talk about "planning", Lin Xun had some suspicions, thinking about what happened recently, it was really stranger than a thing, at first it was the fat man who suddenly stopped providing him with "supplies", and then went to Gucheng to get medicine and was robbed halfway, and the person who saved himself said at the time, "This is the arrangement of the door owner", and then he was teleported to the ancient tomb of the ancestors in the library, and he happened to meet Elder Zhang Lin, and there were monsters from Infant Lanhu at that time, and after coming out of the ancient tomb, he went to Infant Lanhu, and finally he was expelled from the Jade Jiaomen because of trespassing on the ancient tomb.

Could it really be the master's plan?

"What do you want? ”

Lin Xun was interrupted from his thoughts, it was Xin Bada.

"Didn't think about anything. ”

"Oh. ”

Although we only met yesterday, we are now like old friends.

"Hey, what are you going to do here?" He saw many people going out of the gate in groups, Xin Sitong, Zhang Youqian, Li Ersan, Zhou Shaoqi, etc., they all went.

"Can't say, classified mission. Xin Bada covered her mouth and blinked.

"Okay, since it's a confidential mission, I won't ask. ”

"Then I'll go first. Sinbada waved at him.

"Okay. ”

The weather in April and May is not hot or cold. At noon, the sun hung high overhead.

Shi Junfei wandered around Chen Feng's residence in the back mountain, and Chen Shang followed him not far away.

"Don't run around, you're tired of me. Chen Shang gasped and said.

"It's not the first time I've seen such a good house, it's fresh, take a look at it more, this is the best place in the whole sect. Eh, why are you following me? It's not because you're afraid that I'll steal your things, is it? Ouch, how dare I do that?" Shi Junfei said as he walked around, and he was also out of breath at the moment.

"Aren't I afraid that you will get lost, there are a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards in the back mountains!"

"Thank you brother for worrying, I said it's too hot this day, do you have a cellar or anything like that, let me cool down. Shi Junfei was oily all over, his skin was tanned, like a roast suckling pig, he fanned himself with his sleeves, and he threw out a lot of sweat when he fanned it.

"No, you might as well go into the house and rest for a while. ”

"Okay, I'll go into the house and rest for a while. ”

Chen Shang watched Shi Junfei enter the house, let out a sigh of relief, and turned his head to see Chen Feng again.

"Elder. ”

"Is there anything unusual about him?"

"It's just walking around, nothing happens. Oh yes, he asked me if I had a cellar or anything like that, and wanted to go in and cool off. ”

"Cellar?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Outside the gate of the Jade Jiaomen, there was a group of people and horses coming slowly at this time, the team of people and horses centered on a carriage, driving towards the Jade Jiaomen, they were wearing uniform clothes, carrying weapons, but no armor, obviously not officials, but people from a certain sect.

"Who's coming?" asked the disciple guarding the door.

"The daughter of the four elders of Yuanhan Mountain came to visit the master of the Jade Jiao Sect. ”

The two disciples guarding the door looked at each other, and then one of the disciples shouted, "Let me know." ”

After a while, the disciple hurriedly ran out and said, "The master of the sect is not feeling well today, and it is not suitable to meet guests, so let me arrange for distinguished guests, and I will visit you in person the next day." ”

"What's wrong with Brother Chen?" asked a woman in the carriage as she poked her head out.

"It's fine, it's just a chill. ”

"No, I'm going to see him. The woman was a little anxious.

"Uh...... The owner of the door said that it was inconvenient to meet the guests. "The disciples of the gate are embarrassed.

"Miss, since it is inconvenient for the Jade Jiao Sect Master to see guests today, then we will settle down first and see you the next day. One of the leading men said.

"But ......"

"Miss......"

"Oh well. Frustrated, the woman closed the curtains.

In the room, Xu Jingchen was meditating and pranayama, when suddenly a disciple's voice came from outside the door: "Sect Master, Elder Chen Feng has come to pay a visit. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jingchen suddenly opened his eyes, sighed, and then said, "Let him wait for me in the main hall." ”

"Yes. ”

In the main hall, Chen Feng sat on the main seat, drinking tea, very comfortable.

Outside the main hall, Xujingchen stepped over the steps step by step and walked slowly.

"I don't know if the elder is a guest today, or if I'm a guest in the ruins?" he stood in the hall and looked down at Chen Feng.

"Ouch, I'm also old, I can't stand anymore, just find a seat to sit in, the door owner won't mind. Chen Feng suddenly laughed.

"I don't mind, who called you an elder!"

Chen Feng smiled, and then slowly stood up from his seat, "Door master, please." ”

"Since the elder is injured, he doesn't have to stand up. Xu Jingchen said coldly.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xujingchen: "Door master, I think you are the same, let's sit down." He moved to the side.

"Then you're welcome. Xu Jingchen strode forward and sat heavily on the main seat, while Chen Feng sat on the adjacent chair.

"I don't know what the elders are doing when they come to me today?"

"You can't afford it, but there are a few questions I want to ask the door master. ”

"Question, what problem can't be solved by Elder Chen Feng?"

"Elder Zhang Lin's question. ”

"Oh, Elder Zhang Lin's disappearance is indeed my dereliction of duty, I didn't expect that a Tang Sect's meticulous work sneaked in and kidnapped Elder Zhang Lin. Xu Jingchen's eyelids drooped, and he looked ashamed.

"Are you sure that the master of the door did it by someone from the Tang Sect?

"I've already checked the scene and found the Tangmen's dark dart. Then Xu Jingchen took out a cloth bag, opened the cloth bag, and inside was a dart.

"This is indeed the dark dart of the Tang Sect, but the people of the Tang Sect have always been rigorous in their work, how could they throw their iconic dark dart on the spot?" Chen Feng doubted.

"It could be that they were so busy running away that they didn't intend to leave it behind. ”

"Unintentionally?"

"At that time, I noticed something unusual in the ancient tomb, so I went in as soon as possible. ”

"You're the only one?"

"The situation is urgent, and it involves my Yujiaomen's face, so I can only do this. ”

"Okay, I see. Chen Feng sneered.

"It's good to understand. ”

"The master of the sect will leave in three days at the latest, and I will definitely help you manage the Jade Jiao Gate well, you don't have to worry. ”

"Then I have to thank Elder Chen Feng. ”

"Hmph, door master, I also heard that you expelled a junior from the door?"

"I didn't expect that an unknown junior could also attract the attention of Elder Chen Feng. ”

"I heard he was at the tomb that night. ”

"I've already tried this, he only went in after hearing the movement in the ancient tomb, although he didn't commit anything, but according to the rules of the door, those who trespassed on the ancient tomb should be expelled from this door. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, that's fine, I'll take my leave. ”

"The elder walks slowly, and does not send. ”

Chen Feng walked out slowly step by step, his face gloomy and no longer smiling. Rui Jingchen frowned, breathed a sigh of relief, slumped in his chair, closed his eyes and pondered.

"Brother Chen. A woman's call woke him up.

"Why are you here, I didn't say I'll look for you another day. ”

"I'll just come to see you, I heard that you're not feeling well, are you okay? ”

"I'm fine, but I still have something to deal with, you go play by yourself first, and I'll come back to you later." ”

"They came to see you. ”

"I'm the master of a sect, don't mess around. ”

"Oh well. ”

The woman's face was full of displeasure and she left helplessly. After picking up the woman, Mr. Shi walked out from behind and looked out of the door, "Zheng Linli, the youngest daughter of Zheng Ke, the fourth elder of Yuanhanshan, it's not bad to have a good relationship with her." ”

"Mr. Shi, don't make fun of me. ”

"Okay, let's get down to business, I didn't expect that leaving a dark dart from the Tang Sect back then would really work, did you think of this at the time?"

"Naturally not, I just thought it might be useful to keep it. Xu Jingchen sighed, and then said: "Thinking of back then, he was young and frivolous, and did irreparable things, so that the Jade Jiaomen and the Tang Sect could no longer reconcile. ”

"Tang Haoran is also a rare genius in the Tang Sect, and no one can accept the sudden death of such a person. ”

"Yes, so since it is irretrievable, we can only fight to the end, not to mention, the Tang Sect also owes us a lot of blood debts. ”

After lunch, Lin Xun was practicing boxing in front of the door, and suddenly saw Wang Fugui hunched over and sneaking into the corner, he walked over and wanted to take a look.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xun asked suddenly.

Wang Fugui was so frightened that the things in his hands fell to the ground, a white mass.

"Ahh He wanted to cry without tears.

"What is this?" Lin Xun was about to step forward to check.

"You, my plan has come to naught. ”

"What plan?" Lin Xun looked dazed.

"Well, since this is already the case, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Wang Fugui continued: "This is a psychic flower cake, I finally got a little, the purpose is the eldest lady." ”

"Miss?" Lin Xun listened.

"Yes, don't look at the eldest lady's cold appearance on weekdays, in fact, she is a big girl, especially greedy for this, she will come to the kitchen once a day to find something to eat, and she didn't come this morning, she will definitely come in the afternoon, and they happen to be there today, so I want to use this delicious psychic potpourri cake to seduce her." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't think crooked, I just want to see the eldest lady while she eats. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it, perfect! But now the thing is gone, and the plan is gone. ”

"I fulfill you, I have psychic potpourri cake. Lin Xun patted his chest.
