Dugu Shao was far behind the two, and it didn't take long to see the destination of his trip, Dongshan Quarry.

The periphery of the quarry is composed of more than a dozen rectangular grottoes formed by digging stones deep into the hills, the stone walls are mostly steep at right angles, the high ones reach more than ten zhang, the low ones are more than five zhang, and the stone walls and stone pillars are full of cement mud below.

The interior of the quarry is dozens of large and small caves, these caves and caves have different shapes, some are shaped like giant bells, the top is like a covered pot, and the four walls are like barrels; Some are shaped like ancient military tents, long cliffs, and some are shaped like square wells, and they feel like sitting in the well and watching the sky. The caves here do not exist independently, but are a community, the caves are connected up and down, the left and right are connected, the caves are connected, the twists and turns are looping, and the depths are unfathomable.

Hundreds of laborers in front of them weave through the various grottoes, and the sound of flogging can be heard from time to time in the grottoes.

Dugu Shao was touched: "Is this the holy land of the Baiyi tribes?" ”

He moved along the perimeter, silently observing the terrain of the quarry.

"This place is so remote, to transport these stones to the bottom of the mountain, it has to be the strength of a hundred people, this is in a hurry, I forgot to ask Liang Qiuyue which of his people are here, is it possible that I want to go back and turn back again." Dugu Shao patted his forehead and said distressedly.

Suddenly, his eyes shrank, and he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Why is Nan Rongfu here?"

……

On the east side of the quarry is a large hall, which is the residence of the Nine Elders.

In the main hall, Nan Rongfu, who was standing below, had just finished talking about Peng Shouwei, but he didn't get any response.

Nan Rongfu raised his head, only to see the eyes of the Ninth Elder staring directly at the corner of the main hall, but there was nothing there, Nan Rongfu felt furious in his heart: "The Ninth Elder can't be really crazy, right?" ”

The Ninth Elder was stunned for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses, he was more than forty years old, but his face was sickly pale, as if he had not seen the sun for many years, and he looked like a terminally ill and dying patient. He smiled nervously, "Good death, good death." ”

Nan Rongfu didn't know what was going on between the master and apprentice, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

The Ninth Elder touched the longbow behind him, seemed to see his beloved apprentice, and said with emotion: "I have taught you everything, but after you have learned the arts, you avoid me like a snake and scorpion, how can you not hate you if you are called a teacher!" But don't worry, I will personally avenge you. ”

"What did the Great Elder say?"

Nan Rongfu lowered his head and replied, "The Great Elder said, please don't worry, they will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." ”

"Don't worry? Why don't you just kill the outsider? Is it because of Peng Ling's identity as a criminal? Or is it because he's my disciple? Although the Nine Elders' expressions were blank, there was a hint of anger in their tones.

"Don't get me wrong, it's mainly because the identities of those outsiders are a bit tricky."

"Hehe, hypocrisy! If the person who died was Jing Yuan, would the elders still be so calm? Those people are the people of King Jing? ”

"No, it's the people of Jiuqu."

When the Nine Elders heard this name, they couldn't help but be surprised, and he fell silent.

Nan Rongfu looked at the longbow in the hands of the Nine Elders, and a trace of eagerness and greed rose in his eyes.

"Ninth Elder, disciple is willing to worship under your disciple and carry forward your archery skills!"

The Nine Elders looked at the Templar guard, who was more than ten years different in age from him, and sneered, "Are you worthy? ”

Nan Rongfu has always thought highly of himself, these three words seem to be a thorn, directly piercing his heart, Nan Rongfu's face is ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "The disciple thinks that his talent is not inferior to Peng Ling!" ”

Before the words fell, the Ninth Elder spun around from his seat and flashed to Nan Rongfu's side like the wind, clenched his fists, and exhaled.

Nan Rongfu's eyes froze, his arms crossed, and he stubbornly caught the blow of the Ninth Elder.

Who knew that the Nine Elders' fists did not have a trace of strength, he just lightly tapped Nan Rongfu's arm and retreated.

"You can't." The Ninth Elder raised his hand and continued, "I won't tell you the reason, in short, you and I don't have a chance. ”

Nan Rongfu knew that this was the Nine Elders' trial for him, could it be that there was something wrong with his response?

He had some regret in his heart, he had coveted the Nine Elders' stunts for a long time, and now it seemed that the chance was slim, so he talked about another matter: "Please pay attention to the Nine Elders, there is an undercurrent surging on the Holy Mountain now, and there are many forces on the mountain and under the mountain eyeing here, and they are afraid that they are going to attack the Holy Stone." ”

The corners of the Ninth Elder's mouth curled slightly, and he sneered, "You don't need to worry about it, with me here, no one can get their hands on the Holy Stone." ”

"Then why did the Holy Stone appear in the East Camp?"

The Ninth Elder tilted his head, his eyes were like knives, he stared at Nan Rongfu and said softly, "You say it again?" ”

Nan Rongfu's heart sank, and he stubbornly said: "The disciple didn't make up a lie, he really saw it with his own eyes!" There are three carts of holy stones in King Jing's military camp! ”

The Ninth Elder's originally sloppy gaze gradually sharpened, and after looking at Nan Rongfu for a moment, he closed his eyes: "Someone! Call the overseers. ”

Out of fear for the Nine Elders, more than thirty overseers quickly gathered in the main hall, including the henchman named Shangguan Zhuo who Dongguan Zhengxiang had planted here.

Shangguan Zhuo stood in the middle of the crowd in a nervous mood, he couldn't help but be worried, seeing that something was about to happen, but he was suddenly called over, and anyone would be nervous. Suddenly, his afterglow noticed Nan Rongfu standing beside the Nine Elders, and Shangguan Zhuo's heart sank to the bottom: "It's bad, one Ninth Elder is enough, why is there another Templar guard?" ”

"Elder Huijiu, the overseers have all arrived." The Nine Elders' guards replied.

"Okay, then let's kill them all."

As soon as the words fell, the hall was silent, everyone was stunned, and even Nan Rongfu on the side was a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.

Nan Rongfu was surprised: "Ninth Elder, we don't try the first trial?" ”

The Nine Elders ignored Nan Rongfu's words and repeated to his subordinates: "Kill them all." ”

"Elder spare your life!"

"Wronged! Elder! ”

"Lord Nam Rong save us!"

The overseers immediately understood their situation, and they all cried.

As the hands of the guards in the palace fell, the remaining overseers let go of their luck and had no choice but to resist, and the hall was in chaos.

Nan Rongfu hurriedly persuaded: "Ninth Elder, if you kill all the overseers, then the mastermind behind him will never be found out. ”

Ninth Elder and Nan Rongfu looked at each other, and he said coldly, "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”

Nan Rongfu's stubbornness also came up, and he endured his anger and said, "This is for the Holy Mountain!" ”

Hearing this, the Ninth Elder was furious, and he stood up and screamed, "Nan Rongfu, if you don't want to die with you, shut up!" ”

The corners of Nan Rongfu's eyes twitched, he knew that the Ninth Elder's "madness" had attacked.

Just then, a voice came from the crowd below.

"Spare your life! I have something to say! Don't kill me! The owner of the voice is Dongguan Zhengxiang's henchman Shangguan Zhuo.
