"Master Takelai?" Seeing the other party in front of him, Qiu Shaohu was a little speechless for a while.

It's not that I have nothing to say, but it's just that I want to ask too many questions at a time that I don't know where to start.

At this time, Zhu Lai was wearing a loose white robe, wearing a lotus crown on his head, binding his hair with a hosta, and holding a verdant bamboo cane.

However, he stood in front of the old woman's corpse, and the scene of disproportionate to each other made all the feelings extremely contradictory.

"I know that you are here, and I have thought about countless scenes and how to meet each other day and night, but I have never thought about today's situation." Zhu Lai seemed to shake his head and sighed, "You shouldn't have come to this place." ”

"Where is the sect of the Lingchuan Sect, where does it come from?" Qiu Shaohu asked rhetorically.

"Where there are people, there is always right and wrong. Even if right and wrong do not come because of themselves, they will always come because of others. As he spoke, Zhu Lai glanced at Qiu Shaohu.

Qiu Shaohu smiled, "According to Daochang's words, are you provoking right and wrong?" ”

"Poor Dao doesn't mean that." Zhu Lai shook his head, pointed at the old woman with a bamboo cane and said: "This person's cultivation is not weak, and his status in the resting place is not good, if it weren't for Cheng Tingdong, the chief secretary of the Fushen Governor in Chaomen, who hit her hard, I wouldn't have been able to kill her." The sin of killing is unforgivable in the Lingchuan Sect, but if it weren't for that, my Lingchuan Sect would not have survived this catastrophe. ”

Zhu Lai's cultivation is profound, and although there are five realms, those who seek the Tao are not good at fighting.

"Calamity is born from a resting place?" Qiu Shaohu was thoughtful.

"It's better to say that it's part of the calamity, not the source." Zhu Lai said:

"Since the resting place appeared half a month ago, the Fushen Governor forcibly ordered my Lingchuan Sect to move, leaving an empty sect for the resting place as bait. But in fact, Fu Shendu killed two birds with one stone this time, one could take the opportunity to severely damage the resting place; Second, under the pretext of eliminating evil and protecting decency, it will affect the survival of our sect. ”

Qiu Shaohu understood, and said, "So for the Lingchuan Sect, although the resting place has some plans, it is just a disease of scabies. But the Fu Shen Governor used secular imperial power to force submission, but it was much more difficult. ”

"Today, if the Taoist leader helps Fu Shen to destroy the resting place, naturally everything is easy to say. If not, there are countless excuses to target you again. ”

"Unfortunately, you showed up at this time." Zhu Lai glanced at Qiu Shaohu deeply, "You saw the murals in the cave?" ”

"Yes." Qiu Shaohu confessed.

"How much have you seen?"

"Right underfoot, the cave that was once sealed should now be in ruins. Dare to ask the chief of Zhulaidao, who left those murals? What does the resting place want them to do? Qiu Shaohu asked rhetorically.

"Life is short, death is eternal, and the resting place is a different kind of faith, and I don't understand their plans. But I do know where those murals came from. With a sense of remembrance, Zhu Lai said:

"A long time ago, the Chaomen Mountains were not the sects of the Lingchuan Sect, but belonged to another major cultivation sect - the Hidden Caves."

"Caves?" Qiu Shaohu had indeed never heard of it.

"The art of wandering souls that they practiced was naturally wonderful based on the spiritual veins of Cangxian Mountain. However, due to the erosion of the tide gate seawater, the aura of the mountains and rivers has dried up, and the cave has also declined day by day. Later, they entrusted this place to us, and they were nowhere to be found. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Lai showed a regretful expression, "But with our ability, we can only delay the backflow of seawater, but we are powerless to stop it." ”

Surrounded by greenery, the birds are singing and dancing because of the sun, but the joy of life is only short-lived, and everything is on the road of passing.

The sea, the source of life, is only a swallowing shadow for the creatures of the mountains.

"The cave you see is one of the gateways to the cave. At their peak, the mountains were full of similar caves, leading to each other, but now most of them are submerged and collapsed. But only the core of the sect used to be located in the cave is still a mystery. ”

When Zhu Lai said this, he glanced at Qiu Shaohu more, his elderly eyes were clearer at this time, "If you need it, you can go to the sect of the hidden cave again, there should be something hidden in it." ”

Zhu Lai could sense that Qiu Shaohu must have taken something from the previous cave. But for cultivators, the methods of cultivation are all secret, so naturally it is not good for him to ask at will.

He could only hope that this wolf-like young man would take a smooth path, not a wrong path, or even a dead end.

"Thank you, Chief, for telling me." Qiu Shaohu said.

On the hill in the distance, a loud whistle was suddenly heard.

The whistle sounded like a crane in the clear sky, and it lasted for a long time in the distance, as if it carried some kind of signal.

"It's time to wrap up on the Divine Governor's side." Takera recognized the voice, "You'd better leave quickly." ”

It is not uncommon for Zhu Lai to kill this old woman, but if Qiu Shaohu is also seen here, it will not be explained.

"Thank you for the Taoist leader's memory, the junior will leave now, if he still has a chance in the future, he will definitely visit again."

"No need to visit, remember to say hello to Master Mercy for me."

Zhu Lai saw Qiu Shaohu turn around and pick up his box, and jumped into the river next to him again with a "poof", a little surprised, and thought that at this time, there were no horses, no boats, and swimming down the river in the turbulent river was indeed the fastest plan to leave.

Thinking that Qiu Shaohu didn't reply to his last sentence, as well as the letter that Lianmo gave him before, some of the wording was incorrect.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Lai suddenly said to himself: "It turns out that the wolf cub escaped by himself." ”

It seems that he can't expect to let Qiu Shaohu bring him a message.

……

Inside the portal of the Lingchuan Sect, there was a mess.

The aftermath of the fierce battle, black swirling, drifted far away on the distant mountain, and it was also vividly visible.

Wu Jingxing was standing here, his clothes were still clean, and even after the previous turmoil, he was spotless.

"Done?" The man in white silently appeared behind him.

"That's done, he's gone safely." Wu Jingxing said.

The man in white nodded and said, "You are more reliable than Tang Xun." ”

"But I don't know why," Wu Jingxing turned his head and asked, "Boss Bai, why did you let me lead that young man away from the pursuers, why did you protect him so much?" Do you have a plot against him? ”

"Your words are very straightforward, and they are too straightforward to hear." The man in white said lukewarmly.

"It's not a waste of time to be straightforward." Wu Jingxing said calmly.

"I have what I want, but it has nothing to do with him."

Looking at Wu Jingxing's puzzlement, the man in white continued: "But without him, I can't get anything." ”

……

"Smack!"

Qiu Shaohu climbed up the window on the third floor and climbed into the room he rented at the inn.

Now he's covered in mud, and if he walks in through the front door, he'll only attract attention. Luckily, there weren't too many people on the road at this time.

Lying on the floor, taking off the heavy locks, helmets and wolf skins, it was very difficult to take off the fish scale armor of the undershirt. The scales were clinging to his body, but his whole body was stiff now, and those attacks still left dark wounds even though they didn't puncture his body, and the loss of strength made him unable to even stretch his body and tear off the armor.

Reluctantly stood up from the ground, took off the clothes on his upper body with the pain, and touched every bruise with his hands, Qiu Shaohu poured out a little blood oil from the bottle on the table next to him and smeared it on the wound, stood up and walked to the basin with difficulty, and washed the sludge off his body with clean water.

After doing everything, Qiu Shaohu sat on the chair next to him, panting with relief. Remembering another thing, he sat down and moved his chair to the table, spread out the letter paper and wrote on it with pen and ink:

To Mother:

Son's well......
