Volume 5: The First Song Two Hundred and Eighty-Six: The Great Secret of Gentleness

As soon as he walked out of the meeting hall, Tang Ping was stopped by Tang Bonian's disciple Xu Sheng.

"Little junior sister, don't run around, Master and his old man have explained that you will go to his cave to wait for him, saying that he has something to tell you."

"Oh." Tang Ping nodded.

After all, he had just experienced a fierce battle, Li Jian was injured, and the rest of the people were also tired, so they all wanted to go back to rest, so they separated, and before leaving, Qian Chao said to Tang Ping:

"I probably guessed what Senior Tang asked you to say, well, it's likely that there is more than one senior there, and they should all be trustworthy people or must be people who are trusted by Senior Tang, so don't have any taboos, seniors have asked, but it's okay to say it."

……

On the cave house of Tang Bonian.

Tang Bonian came back a little late because there was still something going on in the council hall, and when he returned to his cave, he found that Tang Ping was watching his apprentice brewing wine outside, so he beckoned:

"Girl, come with me."

"Oh."

Entering the cave house, he came to a brightly lit hall, and as soon as he entered, Tang Ping found that there were several people waiting there.

She naturally knew everything, sitting in the middle was her master Gu Hou Fairy, next to her was the Goose Mirror Fairy who taught her illusion by Yue Yinglin of Shuiyun Valley, Lu Pingchuan's master Kang Pu senior, Yan Xuan's master Zhong Yao Fairy, and the Cold Moon Fairy who fell in love with Li Jian and accepted him as a disciple.

This is a battle that has never been fought before, Tang Ping was stunned for a moment when she walked in, and then hurriedly saluted the seniors.

Tang Bonian pointed to a futon and said:

"Sit down and talk, I have no outsiders here today, except for your dear elders, that is, the masters of your partners or the seniors who treat them with kindness, they are all trustworthy figures, don't say some things These people have doubts in their hearts, even the old man can't figure it out, you don't have any worries, I and a few others have sworn that no matter what you say today, they will not leave my room, so you have to answer truthfully when you ask you, understand?"

"Understood." Tang Ping replied honestly.

"Well, that's good, then let me ask you, you deal with Wen Liang, those arrangements from beginning to end are not out of line, but they only make us puzzled and even uneasy...... It's the last way for the five of you to defeat Wen Liang, although the old man didn't see it with his own eyes, but he didn't hide it from you, for your safety, your senior brother Xu Sheng and several other senior brothers and sisters have been hiding in the dark to observe, and after the incident, they came back to report the matter to us, girl, regardless of others, your means are greatly beyond my expectations, your master, and your goose mirror master, well, I thought you would finally defeat the monster controlled by Wen Liang with the formation of Qian Chao, But I didn't expect that everyone launched a blow far beyond your existing cultivation, if nothing else, several elders and I were worried that you had gone the wrong way and gone astray, so I brought you here today to ask a good question, now let's talk about it, what is your method in the end? ”

"Yes."

Tang Ping said respectfully, Qian Chao said before coming to Tang Bonian's cave mansion that as long as they are trustworthy people, then there is no need to have any scruples, telling the truth is, it seems that Qian Boy expected the current situation, so he greeted him in advance.

"The last method we used was also a formation, called the 'Five Elements Welling Formation'......"

"Five Elements Welling Formation...... Never heard of this formation? The Goose Mirror Fairy said with some confusion when she heard this.

"Seniors, Master, Sixth Grandfather, this formation was created by Qian Chao himself after studying it for a long time, we don't know if there was a similar formation in the past, and we don't know if there is a similar formation elsewhere now, it is likely that only the five of us in the world understand this formation, and this formation can only be used by the five of us joining forces."

"Oh, I'm even more curious when you say that, let's listen to it." Gu Shou Fairy said.

"Yes, if you want to explain the origin of this 'Five Elements Welling Formation', we have to start from the time when the five of us were refining our bodies, when we were in distress at the Little Lotus Lake in Youming Valley."

Tang Bonian was surprised when he heard this, and said:

"What does it have to do with that?"

"Well, in fact, everything has a lot to do with that incident, and listen to me carefully......"

……

Outside the sect.

In a hidden cave in the mountains, the beating lights could not completely dispel the darkness in the cave, but it reflected a figure sitting at the stone table, this person sat there quietly and closed his eyes to recuperate, this person, it was Yan Ding who had received Wen Liang's letter before he mixed into the Five Spirits Sect, and when he was in Da Cangze, Wen Liang had some bad premonitions, so he let Yan Ding leave in advance, leaving a back hand for himself, and the two agreed to meet here.

I don't know how long I waited, in this dark cave, Yan Ding was already a little impatient, although this cave was secret, but in his opinion, it was just an ordinary cave, he had searched this place carefully, and found nothing, and what puzzled him the most was that when he was told the location of this cave before, Wen Liang had clearly said that this is the most important place, so there should be something extraordinary, but in Yan Ding's opinion, this place is just a secret, and there is nothing else.

At last there was the sound of heavy stones moving from the direction of the mouth of the cave, and after a moment's pause, it sounded again, presumably by someone who had come in and sealed the mouth of the cave again.

The person who came over in the dark was Wen Liang, but his current situation surprised Yan Ding!

First of all, it was gentle and staggering, showing a sick and weak old state, obviously suffering a lot of injuries. Then came his robe, full of scorching marks, as if his whole body had been scorched on the fire for a long time, and then his trademark gray hair, which had long been disheveled, and his hair was scattered, and his gentle hair, even though gray, was at least thick and neatly combed, but now not only was almost half of his hair missing, but what was left was not only fluffy and disheveled, but also had a faint smell of burnt. What frightened Yan Ding the most was his gentle eyes, his natural smiling face, his two eyes were also born with smiling eyes, no matter who he looked at, it seemed to be full of smiles, but now the right eye was a cloudy patch, as if the whites of the eyes and pupils had been broken up and mixed together!

"Is this ......," Yan Ding asked hesitantly.

"Defeated......" Wen Liang walked over slowly, and sat down at the stone table with a gloomy face.

"Defeated?" Yan Ding asked again, with the manpower that Wen Liang had gathered before, in Yan Ding's opinion, if he only dealt with one Qi refining disciple, how could there be a reason for failure?

"Yes, defeated, and defeated...... Very thoroughly! ”

Yan Ding's face gradually changed, he looked at Wen Liang's face, and when he spoke again after a while, there was also a little coldness in his voice:

"I really didn't expect you to fail, then...... What did you promise...... And how to say? ”

"Hehe, my letter is clearly written, it is after you help me complete the things here, I can help you achieve your wish, and now I am defeated, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Yan Ding's face turned completely cold, he got up and stared at Wen Liang in a pant and said coldly:

"In this way, I ran this trip in vain, hmph, it's not for nothing, at least you also participated in the affairs of the Yan family, now that your henchmen are all lost, you have become a dog in the wilderness, it is not a death in whose hands to die, it is better to let me recover some blood debts for my mother and my uncle's family!"

With a "snap", Wen Liang's palm slapped heavily on the stone table, almost extinguishing the light, and he saw that his face was flushed and he yelled at Yan Ding with an angry face:

"Your uncle's family...... Idiot! Don't forget, your surname is Suo, not Yan! ”

Yan Ding said-for-tat:

"Hehe, even if I die one day, if I am lucky enough to have a grave, the tombstone should also be written 'The Tomb of the Villain Yan Ding', since the day I escaped from the Suo family, I hate the surname Suo!"

(Regarding the matter between Yan Ding and Suo Jia and Wen Liang, I have already explained it before, if you have a vague impression of the official, you may wish to refer to Volume 5: Chu Ming, Chapter 232: Layout of Sword Shrine Mountain IV)

Wen Liang was speechless, the things that the Suo family had done when the family was strong before could be regarded as a lot of hard work, but now, the Suo family is gone, and those all fell on his head, and now he is threatened by his own nephew, which has to be said to be a great sad thing.

Seeing that the killing intent in Yan Ding's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, Wen Liang said again:

"Although I lost, but the other party just ruined one of my plans, in order to deal with the Five Spirits Sect, I still have a backhand, as long as you can help me succeed, what I promised you will definitely be done."

"Hmph, come less, you can't succeed after looking for so many people, now you are the only one who is alone, and you are still thinking about dealing with the Five Spirits Sect, and you have to pull me along, I won't do it, doing things with you is to send you to death!"

"Fei Ye, Fei Ye, what you helped me do is only a small part, after the matter is completed, you can leave before I mobilize to deal with the Five Spirits Sect, and you are still satisfied and return with a full load, how about it?"

"Well, it sounds tempting, but you're not such a generous person, Uncle Seven, you won't be the one who wants to beat me, will you...... Or did you deliberately send me to die? Well, besides, I now doubt the truth of what you told me in your letter, and I might as well ...... than that."

"Humph......"

With a cold snort, Wen Liang stood up, startled Yan Ding took a few steps back, looked at him vigilantly, a right hand hidden in his back flashed slightly, reflecting the stone walls in this cave, obviously ready to make a move, Wen Liang naturally noticed this, and continued with a sneer:

"Don't panic, your seventh uncle is seriously injured, and now he is not your opponent, come, don't you believe it, I'll show you something, and after you see it, you will believe it."

After speaking, Wen Liang turned around and walked towards the deepest part of the cave, Yan Ding's eyes flashed, he didn't know whether to believe it or not, but in the end he cautiously followed.

"As I told you, this cave is the most important place for me, and I think you searched here too, but you didn't find anything?"

"Hmph, you've always been secretive when you hide things, and it's normal to not find them."

"Well, if it's an ordinary thing, I'm really not afraid to let you see it, but this thing is ...... to me It's my life! ”

Wen Liang said, on a stone wall in the depths of the cave, his fingers sparkled a few times, Yan Ding guessed, that should be to crack some secret formation, so it seems that there is really something hidden in this cave, but it is protected by the formation, sure enough, with Wen Liang's movements, there was a sound of rubble falling gently behind them, and Wen Liang walked towards the place where the sound came from.

A secret chamber appeared in the cave, and there was light coming out of it.

Standing in front of the door of the secret room, he said with emotion:

"Come on, come and see, this is your seventh uncle's biggest secret all along!"

Yan Ding was worried about fraud, so he looked around and slowly came over, and after he saw clearly through the light inside the door of his secret room, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, and he stammered a little when he spoke:

"This ...... How really...... But you ...... Why do you still keep this thing! ”

The secret room was full of faint light, and there was a chair in the middle, and on the chair sat a middle-aged man with a black beard under his chin, a slightly thin face, and a small stature, who was sitting there motionless with his eyes closed, and because his head was slightly lowered, the light in this secret room had a different kind of weirdness and horror on his face!

And the reason why Yan Ding was so surprised was because he recognized the person in the secret room at a glance, and he often saw this person when he was still a son of the Suo family.

And this person is arranged according to his generation, it is his seventh uncle...... Suo Yuanhai!
