Chapter Eighty-Three: Off the beaten path
Everything is just like what Ye Yousheng has experienced.
Qin Zhen also followed Zhou Zhirong around the streets, and then went to his house to stay temporarily, listening to his promise to take her to the Occult Sun Sect tomorrow to have a look.
And when she came to Zhou Zhirong's house, Qin Zhen realized what information she had been missing before-
When he was in no man's land, Zheng Yunmin killed the mother and son in the shed in order to take revenge.
The two of them are now standing beside Zhou Zhirong, Zhou Zhirong wrapped the mother and son in his arms with a happy expression, and introduced to Qin Hao: "This is the inner man Qian Jinzhu, the dog Zhou Mu."
Qin Zhen and they greeted each other, and Qian Jinzhu was about to take Qin Zhen to the guest room.
Zhou Mu stood beside Qian Jinzhu, looking at Qin Zhen with a pair of dark eyes without blinking.
Now he has no disability in his calves, and he can stand firmly, instead of being like when he was in a no-man's land, his footprints were one deep and one shallow.
"Hello." Seeing that he had been staring at him, Qin Zhen squatted down and stretched out his hand to him with a smile.
Zhou Mu glanced at his mother Qian Jinzhu beside him, and saw that she didn't react, so he gently put his hand on Qin Zhen's hand.
It's just that Qin Hao's hand was a little cold, Zhou Mu only touched it lightly, and then retracted his hand violently in fright, hiding behind Qian Jinzhu, and no longer looked at Qin Hao.
"Mu'er, you can't be so rude to the guest, apologize to the guest quickly." Qian Jinzhu smiled apologetically at Qin Hao, and then hurriedly pulled Zhou Mu out from behind him.
「…… I'm sorry." Zhou Mu reluctantly whispered an apology to Qin Hao, grabbing the hem of his clothes with both hands, twisting them into a ball.
"It's okay." Qin Hao touched Zhou Mu's head in Qian Jinzhu's worried gaze.
After Qin Zhen turned around and walked away with Qian Jinzhu, Zhou Mu reached out and touched the top of his head, looking at his fingers blankly.
"Why do guests have this black thing on them?" He looked at the thin black mist on his fingertips in confusion, and wanted to go to his father to ask for clarification.
But he had barely run a few steps before he stopped again.
The last time he told his father that he saw this layer of black fog on everyone's body in the city, he was severely reprimanded by his father, saying that he had seen it wrong and that he should stop talking nonsense.
And his mother, who had always doted on him, just silently held him in her arms, and waited until his father was discouraged, and then repeatedly told him that if he found out about this kind of thing in the future, he just had to tell her quietly, and not let others know.
But now that my mother is with the guest, she shouldn't be able to say this in front of the guest.
Zhou Mu stood in place in embarrassment, thought about it and ran in the direction of Qian Jinzhu and Qin Zhen.
Over there, Qian Jinzhu was talking to Qin Hao.
"Where did this guest come from? It must be very hard to come to the city of the sun alone."
"I came from a friend and heard him say that the city is a perfect city, so I wanted to come and see it." Qin Hao replied.
"Friends?" Qian Jinzhu was stunned for a moment, "Do you have friends who have been here and left?"
"Huh? Is there something wrong?" Qin Zhen pretended to be surprised, "After he came to the Occult City to see the grand ceremony, he went back to his hometown and described to me the glorious grand ceremony of the Occultation City."
"This ......" Qian Jinzhu's face instantly faded and turned pale.
Qin Zhen saw that it was almost over, so he smiled: "But he must be joking, the grand ceremony is only held once in fifty years, he is the same age as me, how could he be able to participate in the last grand ceremony."
"Yes, yes...... Guests' friends are really joking......" Qian Jinzhu reluctantly smiled.
"Have you ever seen a foreigner named Cui Yu come over? My friend said he was coming this time, but we got separated on the road and didn't get in touch with him." Qin Zhen looked extremely worried.
Qian Jinzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Zhen divert the topic, and then said with a smile: "I'll help you ask, we are very enthusiastic here, as long as your friends come, we will know."
"Then it's going to be a hassle for the seniors.
Qin Zhen bowed slightly to her.
It seems that Qian Jinzhu doesn't know the person "Cui Yu". Qin Hao retracted her mind to test her.
At present, she can only be sure that Zheng Yunwan knows about Cui Yu's existence...... It's not entirely correct to say this, maybe everyone here knows him, but Cui Yu didn't say his name, only Zheng Yunwan in the no-man's land learned a little bit of his true identity because he helped him do things.
And the Hidden Sun City in the secret realm, because Shen Qifeng didn't know the true situation in the past, Qian Jinzhu hadn't heard Cui Yu's name.
In this case, can it be proved that Shen Qifeng does not know Cui Yu?
With many questions, Qin Hao spent the first night in the reset.
And the next day, when he came to the front of the Sun Occultation Sect, the feeling of absurdity became clearer and clearer.
When it was in no man's land, there was only one room left for the young sect master to store the treasures, but now the Sun Covering Sect in the secret realm was golden and brilliant, even more exaggerated than the palace of the emperor in the previous world, and it was impossible to see that it was an immortal cultivation sect at all.
Qin Zhen looked at Zhou Zhirong with a proud expression and led her into the Sun Covering Sect, and some didn't understand what kind of people could make them all feel as if they had been brainwashed, recognizing this empty belief like this.
Zhou Zhirong quickly took her to finish shopping on the first floor, and then as if something suddenly happened, the excuse was to leave first.
"Senior Zhou is going to see the sect master?" Qin Hao stopped him, "If you don't mind, please take me with you to meet the next sect master."
"This ......" Zhou Zhirong was a little embarrassed.
"Is it inconvenient for the sect master to meet the guests?" Qin Zhen pretended to sigh inadvertently, "But I also understand, how can an outsider like me dream of seeing the sect master......
"Well, you're mistaken, guest." Zhou Zhirong saw that the attention of the people around him was attracted, and hurriedly grabbed Qin Zhen, "We are the most welcoming guests in the Hidden Sun City, how could the sect master not want to see you?" Let's go, I'll take you with me to the sect master now."
"Thank you, Senior Zhou, you really helped me a lot." Qin Zhen had a moving expression on her face.
"......" Zhou Zhirong choked for a moment, and then resigned himself to beckoning Qin Zhen to follow him and go upstairs.
"Actually, the young sect master is not in good health, and the sect master has been busy with the grand ceremony recently, so he asked me to go over and help take care of the young sect master." Zhou Zhirong explained as he walked.
"Isn't there a fixed person around the young sect master to take care of?" Qin Hao asked.
She remembered that Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan were the maids beside Qing Xing, but in the secret realm, they became the messengers who passed on the instructions of the sect master.
"The young sect master likes to stay alone, and I only occasionally listen to the sect master's orders to come and see, otherwise the young sect master will be angry and his condition will worsen, and I can't afford such a crime." Zhou Zhirong waved his hand again and again.
It sounds like taking care of the young sect master is still a chore.
"I won't take you to see the young sect master." Zhou Zhirong continued, "But the sect master is also very busy, so he may not have much time to see you."
"If I can see the sect master, I have no regrets." Qin Zhen said, her eyes moistened, "The sect I used to stay in, the sect master would only bully us ordinary disciples, and I didn't even have a place to talk. I finally heard from my friend about how good the Occultation Sect was, so I spent all my savings and came to the Occultation City."
"After only one day in the Occult City, I deeply felt the kindness of the Occultation City, everyone here treats me like family, and I just want to live here for the rest of my life and live happily with everyone."
Qin Zhen wiped the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes at some point: "Now because of the kindness of Senior Zhou, I can meet such a great sect master, I really don't know what to say for a while......
"......" Zhou Zhirong looked at Qin Hao in shock and said words of gratitude.
It turns out that their Occult City is really that good? It seems that she hasn't had time to start brainwashing yet, why is she already so moved. Is she really a monk? Is it so easy to be deceived by them? I won't use her to stop the catastrophe when the time comes, but it turns out
It's been eaten back.
"Haha, if you like it, that's the best." In the end, in the face of Qin Zhen's hazy teary eyes, Zhou Zhirong was entangled for a long time, but he still held back a sentence.
Qin Zhen nodded with tears in her eyes, and as soon as Zhou Zhirong saw that she was about to open her mouth, for fear that she would say something that he couldn't listen to, he hurriedly interrupted, "Okay, okay, don't you want to see the sect master?" Let's hurry up."
Flying all the way to the top floor of the palace, Zhou Zhirong breathed a sigh of relief, and then knocked on the door in front of him.
He reached out and tapped lightly three times, and the door slowly opened on its own after the sound of "knock knock" echoed through the entire floor.
A huge, gray-robed figure sat between the tomes, with his back to them. I heard the sound of someone coming in, and there was no response.
"Sect Master, I'm here, I'll go visit the Young Sect Master now." Zhou Zhirong said respectfully to him, "This is a new guest, I brought her to meet you."
The gray-robed man still didn't react.
Zhou Zhirong seemed to have become accustomed to it, so he went to pull Qin Zhen: "Let's go, guest, let's not disturb the sect master's work."
"Why didn't the sect master speak, did he not like me?" Qin Zhen pursed her lower lip, "I know, I'm not likable. But I thought the sect master was different, was it still the same as those people?"
"......" Zhou Zhirong felt his head throb, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely hold his head in pain. But now, he could only try to squeeze out a gentle smile and persuade, "The sect master is just too busy to hear, so let's stop bothering here."
As he spoke, he exerted a little strength to pull Qin Zhen.
But obviously, Qin Hao's previous performance blinded his judgment and made him forget that Qin Hao was a monk. The moment he stretched out his hand, Qin Zhen had already teleported behind the sect master, raising his hand to pull his gray robe.
"Stop!" Zhou Zhirong's eyes were about to split, and he suddenly pounced over to hold down Qin Zhen.
But his speed was not as fast as Qin Hao's hand.
As soon as Qin Zhen raised his hand, the gray robe was lifted, revealing the true face of the Sect Master of the Sun Covering Sect inside.
