in the ancient temple.

The gray-robed old man was still standing in front of the altar, the same posture as last night.

He stood like this all night.

There was a knock outside the door, and the gray-robed old man flicked his sleeves, and the door slowly opened.

A middle-aged man walked in from outside the door, although his expression was anxious, but he didn't dare to slow down at all, and cautiously approached the gray-robed old man.

Finally, he stopped about four or five steps away from the gray-robed old man, bowed, and then said respectfully, "Lord Gu is waiting outside now. ”

The gray-robed old man's voice was hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you do, why did you delay for so long." ”

The middle-aged man was the one who was sent to deliver the news to the Valley Lord of Qinglian Valley yesterday, and after hearing the serious tone of the gray-robed old man, his body involuntarily bent lower.

His voice trembled and replied: "When the little one arrived at the mansion of the valley lord, the valley lord was no longer in the mansion, so he asked the people in the mansion, but he did not know the whereabouts of the valley lord, so the little one had to wait outside the mansion for the valley lord to come back, and waited for the whole night. About the hour when the morning was about to dawn, the valley lord returned to the mansion, and as soon as the little one saw the valley lord, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he directly urged the valley lord over. ”

After the gray-robed old man heard the explanation, he did not continue to attack.

He waved his hand and said, "Go out and let the valley master come in." ”

The middle-aged man agreed, got up immediately, and retreated out of the door cautiously.

Then a graceful and luxurious middle-aged man walked in slowly, although he was not as cautious as the previous middle-aged man, but he still didn't dare to slow down.

This graceful and luxurious middle-aged man is the valley owner of Qinglian Valley today, and he is also the common father of Qing Minghao and Qing Ruoping, Qingjingnan.

Qingjingnan's status in Qinglian City was almost unmatched, but when he entered this ancient temple, he was like ordinary people, and he didn't dare to offend half a point.

The stone carving of the god enshrined in the ancient temple is the world-famous Qinglian Tianzun, who is the founder of Qinglian City and the only martial arts master since the establishment of Qinglian City.

Qinglian City rises because of Tianzun, and it is also prosperous because of Tianzun, if there is no Qinglian Tianzun, there will be no Qinglian City with this grand scale, and there will be no Qinglian clan with this prosperous bloodline, and it is impossible to have him Qingjingnan, the incomparably noble Qinglian Valley Lord.

The Qing clan has worshiped Qinglian Tianzun as a god for generations, or in other words, Qinglian Tianzun was originally a god.

Qing Jingnan walked slowly to the side of the gray-robed old man, first respectfully saluted the stone sculpture of the statue of Qinglian Tianzun, and then turned his head to look at the gray-robed old man.

With a calm expression, he said indifferently: "The Great Elder has something important to discuss, why is he in such a hurry, I haven't seen such a battle in many years." No, I just returned to the house, and before I could settle down, I hurried over after hearing the news. ”

The gray-robed old man glanced at him silently, and asked casually, "What big did the valley lord go to do last night?" Why didn't you stay at home all night? ”

Qing Jingnan waved his hand and said with a smile: "What is a big deal about my little matter, the Great Elder is serious." ”

The gray-robed old man snorted coldly and said casually, "Who were you looking for last night?" ”

Seeing that the lie was exposed, Qing Jingnan smiled embarrassedly, and changed the topic: "Doesn't the Great Elder have something important to discuss?" If you have something important, you don't have to waste time interrogating those trivial things, right? ”

The gray-robed old man shook his head helplessly, and no longer held him accountable for his faults.

He raised his head towards the stone carving of the statue of Qinglian Tianzun, and said with a solemn expression: "It has appeared." ”

"It?"

Qing Jingnan's tone was erratic, not knowing whether he was wondering or confirming the answer.

The gray-robed old man understood in his heart, nodded, and affirmed: "It is it that appears." ”

Qing Jingnan was silent for an instant.

The gray-robed old man was also silent.

The entire temple fell silent for a moment.

The stone sculpture of the statue of the Blue Lotus Heavenly Venerable didn't seem to be so calm, and its beautiful stone eyes seemed to flicker imperceptibly for a moment.

…………

Inside the Qing Clan's mansion.

There was a burst of angry invective.

Qing Minghao was standing at a jade table, slapping the table hard, and there was a burly man kneeling opposite him, but he was ashamed of his burly body, and he didn't dare to raise half of his temper at this time.

Qing Minghao, whose palm kept slapping on the table, was furious, and scolded again: "You tell me!" Yes? You tell me! What the hell is going on! ”

The burly man still knelt on the ground, his head bowed, and he didn't even dare to pant loudly.

Bang –

Qing Minghao's palm slammed on the table again, with a majestic face, "You speak!" You tell me! What the hell is going on! What's going on! ”

The burly man had to speak at this time, and said worriedly: "My subordinates don't know. ”

"I don't know?"

Qing Minghao sneered, kicked over the chair on his side, which was also carved from jade, and said angrily: "Is it enough to know a word?" I can't do this little thing, what use do I want you to do? Raise your head and tell me, 'What use do I want from you?' ”

The burly man still didn't dare to raise his head, but instead crawled on the ground, and said in fear: "My subordinates are incompetent." ”

Qing Minghao strode up to the burly man, bent down, and said coldly: "It turns out that you still know that you are incompetent?" You give me a good calculation, how many people we have sent. ”

The burly man wanted to speak and stopped.

Qing Minghao kicked him violently and said in a deep voice: "Say! ”

The burly man hesitated and said, "With the first one, there are thirteen people in total." ”

Qing Minghao, who heard the answer, took a deep breath, his tone suddenly calmed down, and said indifferently: "Thirteen, you count them clearly, since it is so clear, can you tell me, where are these thirteen people?" ”

The burly man noticed that Qing Minghao's tone softened, glanced at him secretly, and then replied: "The subordinates saw that the one who was arranged at the beginning had not come back for a long time, so they sent someone to inquire about the situation, but after waiting for a long time, they did not bring back the news, and then they were sent out one after another, and as a result, without exception, no one came back. ”

Qing Minghao pulled over a chair, sat down, and asked, "What kind of realm is that one in a black robe?" ”

Seeing that the scene had calmed down, the burly man dared to raise his head and replied in a low voice, "Eight pins." ”

Qing Minghao frowned slightly, and asked again, "What realm are the people we sent?" ”

"The first one was from the sixth grade, and the next twelve were from the seventh to the sixth grade."

The burly man didn't dare to hide it at all and reported it truthfully.

Qing Minghao took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, "Is it possible for one Bapin to deal with so many people?" ”

The burly man hurriedly shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "This is absolutely impossible, it is difficult for the eighth rank to deal with the seventh grade, and if you want to deal with the opponents of the thirteen realms far beyond him, there is no chance of winning." ”

Although there are not many deeds of crossing the border to kill the enemy in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to cross the law like this anyway, how many realms are there between the two of them, and there is far more than one enemy, a full thirteen.

Whether he believes this kind of thing or not, no one will believe it when it spreads.

Qing Minghao thoughtfully took a sip of tea, then played with the teacup and said softly: "That means he has something to rely on?" ”

The burly man nodded and said, "There must be something to rely on." ”

The teacup was put back on the table, Qing Minghao folded his hands, closed his eyes, and sighed: "No wonder he dares to be so unscrupulous, but this is Qinglian City after all, even if he can jump again, how long can he jump?" ”

Leaning on?

We'll see.

…………

Qin Nian'an called out to Gu Qingyue and Yiqiu, who were still asleep, and sneaked out of the inn when there was no one at the counter to complete the task of slipping away.

Gu Qingyue was very dissatisfied with getting up early in the morning, and she struggled for a long time.

Originally, he was going to question Qin Nian'an unrelentingly, but when he saw his wrapped arm after opening the door, he swallowed back the words he had prepared.

However, Qin Nian'an was still facing unrelenting questioning, but it had changed from what he had prepared to what he played on the spot.

The target of the questioning was naturally Qin Nian'an's injured arm, but Qin Nianan didn't plan to tell her about her preparation.

It's not that Qin Nian'an doesn't have the kung fu to take care of her, but that she feels that Gu Qingyue's temperament is not suitable for understanding such complex things, and it is easy to destroy her original purity.

And even if she was told, she would not be able to do anything substantial, it would only add to her troubles.

It's better to be free, carefree, and happy like now.

But after all, she is Gu Qingyue, and the degree of perseverance is beyond Qin Nian'an's imagination, he can only find a way to perfunctory sentence by sentence, not only perfunctory and reasonable, but also perfunctory until Gu Qingyue is satisfied.

It's a real technical job.

Fortunately, Qin Nian'an was clever and stunned, and he was stunned to round up all the questions raised by Gu Qingyue.

It's seamless.

Qin Nianan took Qing Ruoping and the three of them to the streets of Qinglian City smoothly.

However, today's streets seem to be different from yesterday's, and there is an indescribable smell that feels strange no matter how you look at it.

Qin Nianan glanced at the tiger head hat on Gu Qingyue's head, he didn't think about bringing it out, after all, this thing was too conspicuous wherever he went, but Gu Qingyue remembered it clearly, and he insisted on going into the room and bringing it out, Qin Nianan couldn't force her at all, so he had to let her come.

At this time, the streets of Qinglian City were all tiger head hats, almost one for each person, and a few of them didn't wear them, but they looked nondescript.

Qin Nian'an suspected that something was wrong with his eyes, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then opened his eyes again, only to find that the scene in front of him was still the same as before.

Yesterday was obviously not like this, how did it only take one night to completely change?
