"It's... Old General Zhou's golden order..."Looking at the golden order lying in Duanmu Qiu's palm, Xiao Xiang's eyes were full of worry, and the old man's palm also reached into the cuff, took out an identical golden order, and showed it in front of the three of them.

If Zhang and Wu were still a little suspicious of Duanmu Qiu's words a moment ago, with the appearance of Zhou Min's Jin Ling, this last suspicion was also dispelled.

Wu Fen and Zhang Hude were both leading generals, and they also knew what a miracle it was to break the 130,000 army of the Southern Tang Dynasty with no more than 10,000 casualties.

Put away the old general Jin Ling carefully, and then return to the city of Luzhou that day: "After I heard this legend that day, I was also shocked, and I wanted to ask carefully, but the old man bluntly said that it was getting late, let me come again tomorrow, but when I visited again the next day, I found that he had already reclined next to the couch, and the immortal had passed away... Only then did I remember what he said yesterday that his life would not be long in coming... I think it's because the knot in my heart is gone, and I don't have to worry about it..."

Sighing slightly, Duanmu Qiu frowned and pondered, and talked about the matter of exploring the valley later: "If the clue is broken, I can only bury Lao Suo, and then I want to go to the valley in his mouth to find out... Even if Lao Suo's words are conclusive, I still have doubts in my heart, so I first explored the legend in Luzhou City... It's a pity that although Luzhou is big, no one has ever heard of the legend of the immortal slaying the dragon, so I had to buy some dry food and go to the valley to explore."

"But I have searched in the valley for days, but I have found nothing, nor have I found the place of chaos in the mouth of the old man, nor have I seen the evil eyes that shimmer red in his mouth... At that time, I inevitably wondered if this old man was talking nonsense, but when I thought about it, I thought of Jin Ling, the old general of Zhou, but I had to believe it... Just when I was hesitating to go back to Luzhou to look for clues, I saw a group of people walking into the valley."

Just as the morning light shined through the window lattice, spilling into the blue and white elegant room, Zhang and Wu not only did not feel warm, but their backs were cold, Zhang Hude stared at his eyes, did not make a sound, and quietly listened to Duanmu Qiu continue.

"They were dressed in the usual garments of the people of the rivers and lakes, and I didn't recognize them at first, until I saw the leader, and I realized that they we... It's a man of the court." At this point, Duanmu Qiu's tone paused slightly, and his eyes turned to Zhang and Wu.

Zhang Hude couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Who is the leader?"

"Cloud Shadow Division, Chen Mo." Duanmuqiu didn't sell Guanzi and said the person's name, Zhang Hude looked puzzled, and Wu Fen frowned and pondered.

"Is that him?" Wu Fen was quite impressed by this person, and when he saw that the reckless man next to him didn't seem to know about this person, he opened his mouth to explain.

"Chen Mo, this person, walked in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he was quite good at medical skills and martial arts, and then King Yun was awarded Jiang Lin and other places to recruit talents.

Zhang Hude was anxiously listening to Duanmu Qiu talk about what happened later, and after interrupting Wu Fen, he motioned for Duanmu Qiu to continue.

Duanmu Qiu froze and continued to speak: "I saw Chen Mo from afar, and my heart was also secretly shocked, seeing them walking through the valley, as if they were looking for something, I remembered the words of the old man, so I hid my body and followed him... After walking in the valley for about three or four days, the journey became more and more rugged, until the top of the mountain could be seen, and only then did I hear that one of Chen Mo and his party shouted, "Found it."

"I know that Chen Mo's martial arts realm is not weak, so I don't dare to get too close, so I can only hide in the forest and watch quietly, and Chen Mo's group of people also stopped there, camped on the spot, I don't know what they are doing... I kept watch for two days, and when I did not see them depart, I made up my mind to come near."

"Until that night, when the night was deep and the moonlight was not visible, I came near to the place where they were encamped, and behold, in the midst of the camp, all the vegetation was removed, and a deep pit was conspicuous, and in the camp there were many things covered with brocade."

"At first, I was worried that someone would be watching, but when I got closer, I found that there was no one but people in the pit, so I seized the opportunity to lift the brocade and look at what was covered."

Duanmu Qiu's eyes were more solemn, as if he wanted to see the surprised scene under the brocade for the first time: "Under the brocade, there are actually the bones of strange beasts... All I opened was a piece of bone, and there were two or three

The people were high, and I was also frightened, and when I was about to continue to check, I heard that the people in the deep pit were about to come out, so I had to restore the cover of brocade and burrow into the forest beside me. Before they had covered their bodies, the group had already come out of the pit, and with them a huge object."

Swallowing his saliva, Duanmu Qiu remembered what he saw when he dumped the valley that day, and he still had palpitations: "The sky was dark, and I hid in the forest, and I didn't see it clearly, but I vaguely saw four or five strong men who practiced martial arts, and it was extremely difficult to lift it, until the huge thing hit the ground, and then I vaguely saw that it was actually a strange beast skull, which was shaped like a horse, but with fangs in the mouth and sharp bones in the neck..."

"When I saw this bone, I immediately thought of the legend of the immortal slaying the dragon in Lao Suo's mouth... Fearing that it would disturb them, I did not enter the camp again to inspect it, but after finding it, they carried it down the mountain overnight and headed north..."

Hearing this, Zhang and Wu were no longer suspicious, but the dragon thing had never been heard of in legends, and they had never seen it with their own eyes, and the things in Duanmu's mouth were too deviant... I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Even if it's really a legendary beast, what did he do when he sent Chen Mo to find this thing?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Qiu couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and just when the three of them were puzzled, Xiao Xiang's slightly tired voice came from his ears.

"When you win the emperor and get the remnants of the immortal scroll, you can dominate the world, if you get the whole immortal scroll, don't say that you will dominate the world, it is immortality, and it is not impossible to become immortals."

Xiao Xiang's words hit the nail on the head, and the three of them were immediately stunned, Duanmu Qiu's eyes were slightly open, and he met the teacher's see-through gaze sideways, and muttered, "So, he..."

"Yes, from the old man's point of view, although this matter is absurd, but it is not without a trace, if the old man said, the first battle was defeated to turn the tide of the war, and then to break the Tang army in the winning river, but the loss of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses... General Zhou's mysterious death back then, coupled with the skull of the strange beast that Qiu'er saw when she explored the valley... Ahem..."

The heart was touched, the fire scorched, Xiao Xiang's old body bent down a few more points, raised his hand to stop Duanmu and the three of them from wanting to step forward, and continued to speak: "When I saw him in the palace a few days ago, I could already feel the momentum on his body, he has been apprenticed to me since he was a child, and I know my temperament best... If that immortal scroll fragment can really change a person, I'm afraid he has already learned it."

Speaking of the fragment of the immortal scroll, the light of wisdom in Xiao Xiang's eyes flickered, and he turned to the three of them: "Shicai Fen'er asked that he sent Chen Mo to find the remains of strange beasts... You might as well think about the legend in the mouth of Shicai Qiu'er, winning the emperor to practice the fragment of the immortal scroll, simplifying the method of military formation, and then annexing the countries to dominate the world... But what can be spread to the world is that after the emperor won the world, he sent people to visit Shenzhou, and even did not hesitate to go to sea, but also asked for immortal medicine to seek immortality..."

Zhang Hude only felt that what the teacher and Duanmu said lingered in his mind, as if it was a mess, whether it was the emperor or the immortal scroll fragment, it was not important to this straight general, he could only rub his head with his big hands all the time, pretending to think, as he did when he was a teenager, pinning his hopes for solving the teacher's puzzle on the two brothers.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Duanmu Qiu and Wu Fen suddenly realized at the same time.

"I understand, after Emperor Win practiced the remnants of the immortal law and ruled the world, he wanted to seek immortality, but he didn't expect to go mad and fall into demons, so he could only scatter his skills to save his life..."

"There are immortal laws in the world, and there will naturally be immortals, so I sent people to ask for immortal medicine in order to live forever..."

"He's the same, now that he has the immortal law fragment, he naturally wants to go further..."

Duanmu and Wu Fen looked at each other, and you and I said a word, and solved the questions made by the teacher one by one.

Xiao Xiang heard that the disciples had fully understood the reason, and the relief in his eyes became more and more obvious, but after a moment, he turned worried: "That night with the immortal scroll temptation, he really planned to leave Beijing, leaving Qiu'er to deter the hundred officials, just take this opportunity to enter the palace to explore, if you can find the bones of the strange beast, you can solve the mystery of the immortal scroll..."

Duanmu Qiu immediately got up and saluted: "Teacher, this method is very good, even if he finds out about the scheme, when he returns to Beijing, we will already find out, and then the gods will not know it... The teacher only needs to return to Weizhou to recuperate, and Jiang Lin's affairs will be handed over to Duanmu..."

Before the words were finished, Duanmu Qiu had already noticed that something was wrong, if the teacher wanted to make such a layout, why did he still go to Qiranju, outsiders may not know, but Duanmu Qiu was in charge of the nine gates, how could he not know that Qiranju was directly connected to the Linjiang River, and the north of the Linjiang River was the way to the waterway leading to Bianjing

。

Suddenly looking back, looking at the teacher who was sickly due to a violent cough, at this moment he seemed to have returned to the style of the old year, and he was looking at himself with a smile.

"Teacher... You want to go north... You're going to Bianjing too..."Duanmu Qiu said in shock.

"Although Qiu'er has not been by the teacher's side over the years, not only has her martial arts not fallen, but her mind has also grown a lot..." Xiao Xiang got up and slowly moved to Duanmu Qiu's side, patting his shoulder as he did when he was a teenager to show his approval.

How could it be that the young man had already grown into a talent in his own right, and it was not until he patted it at this time that he realized that he was dying, and he was no longer the young man who thought he could determine the world in his heart.

"Teacher, don't, even if you lure him away from Beijing, why do you want to go in person, not to mention your body, if he really practiced that immortal law fragment... Even if he was like the emperor who won the emperor back then, he was eaten by the fragments of the immortal law and couldn't make a move, the old dog Zhongqi and Yan Ruohai who accompanied him were both masters in the world..." Duanmu Qiu realized that his teacher wanted to take the risk in person, and in his eagerness, he immediately opened his mouth to dissuade him, but before the words fell, he was stopped by Xiao Xiang raising his hand.

"Do you think you can hide it from his eyes if you tell the truth... I gave him the true news that it was indeed a fragment of the immortal scroll..."Xiao Xiang said a few words, each sentence made Duanmu Qiu's heart even more shocked.

Wu Fen beside him also knew the teacher's mind from Duanmu's conversation with the teacher, but it was not as dissuaded by Duanmu Qiu, Wu Fen calmly stood by the side, but the calm eyes seemed to have noticed something, and it disappeared in a flash.

The old man's gaze was more calm, but there was a little more tiredness in his eyes: "Qiu'er, remember, if you want to deter the hundred officials, you have to do the word 'lonely minister', so that he can completely let down his guard against you, today you kill Wei Guogong, not only will he not punish you, but he will let go of his heart... For the sake of the teacher's north... If there is an accident, you need to keep in mind that if one day, someone holds the gold medal of the word "Xiao" in my hand to the day of Jiang Lin... He is your Lord."

Duanmu Qiu was puzzled, took a step forward, and asked with eagerness, "Why? Qiu'er really doesn't understand, why does the teacher have to risk his life? Now that we've found the clues..."

Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Qiu saw a gaze coming, which he hadn't seen for many years, and only vaguely remembered that many years ago, when Lao Yun Wang conquered the heroes, leveled the world, and returned to Emperor Zhao, he had seen it.

When he stood beside King Yun, he was also like this, always with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were soft but secretly sharp, he could look directly at people's hearts, he was in his prime, he was bookish, he scolded Fang Xuan, and he was in ashes when he talked and laughed... In a trance, it finally returns to reality, and then looks at the eyes, although the eyes return in an instant, they can't withstand the years of washing, the hero is twilight, and he is dying of old age.

"Go ahead, remember what I said." Xiao Xiang retracted his gaze and spoke indifferently.

Duanmu Qiu didn't say much, he knew the teacher's temperament and what he believed in his heart, even King Yun couldn't dissuade him, so he had to kneel and salute.

"The teacher's teachings must be remembered that Duanmu will wait in Jianglin for the teacher and the two brothers to return to Beijing."

He bowed, then got up, and when he walked to the window, he remembered something, and looked back and instructed Zhang and Wu: "Two brothers, this place is full of Cloud Shadow Division eyeliner, but don't worry, I've cleaned up... Please also ask the two brothers to take care of the teacher all the way, Duanmu thank you!"

"What are you talking about, Xiangye is your teacher and our teacher, you just have to act according to the teacher's plan... Wait a minute... So what... Although you kid is clever, if we leave, no one will help you, you... Be careful, go fast!"

Zhang Hude still did not change the reckless man's rectum, the seven sons and the third of them were together for a short time, and the leopard's eyes were full of reluctance, but knowing that Duanmu Qiu had a teacher to tell him something important, he urged him to move in an impatient tone, but several people in the room could hear a little reluctance in this reckless man's stiff tone.

Wu Fen didn't say much, only hugged his fist to Duanmu Qiu by the window.

Duanmu Qiu reluctantly glanced at the two brothers, the smile on the corner of his lips could not be hidden, but when he looked back, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his cold face seemed to have changed to the "Hades" overseer who was in charge of the Nine Sects.

Open the window, turn over, Duanmu Qiu's back is sprinkled with the light of the morning sun...
