Chapter 146: The Battle of the Elders' Annex
After Ye Chong came to the Sword Shrine, he climbed the Elder Peak for the second time and climbed 1,900 steps.
After he came to the Elder's Peak, he didn't bother to glance at the palace-like Elder's Hall, then turned around and walked towards the Elder's Courtyard.
There are ten elders in the Elders' Hall, and each elder has an independent courtyard. Elder Dantang also had such an honor, but more of his time was spent in the Dantang on the Medicine Peak.
Elder Peak is the highest peak of the Sword Shrine, Ye Chong walks on the peak, the smooth road, the ancient trees that have gone through the vicissitudes of life, and even the wind in the air all seem to show the seriousness and dignity of this place.
There is a solemn atmosphere in the desert.
This feeling naturally arose from the bottom of Ye Chong's heart, and it was so strong that when he walked to the seventh courtyard, he stood at the door of the courtyard and was stunned, as if he was recalling the purpose of his visit.
Then he unconsciously showed a hint of sneer.
It was as if what he saw was not the Elder's Courtyard in front of him, but the same solemn and solemn church shrine recorded in the history books of his previous life, which existed in the Western Middle Ages, and was worshiped by thousands of people, but it was difficult to guarantee that the priest or even the pope in it was doing something filthy and desecrating the so-called faith.
Then the solemnity and coldness on his body were instantly shattered and vanished.
He came to the door with a composure look, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the two doors.
Then his figure appeared in the courtyard of the other courtyard.
It also appeared in the eyes of the people in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, the sound of swords is huohuo, and the movements of those who practice swords are a little stagnant, not very smooth, but full of momentum. It's like an outlier with no good cultivation, but the swordsmanship is as immature as a child.
That person was Zhou Yan, and he was practicing his left-handed sword at this time.
And when he saw Ye Chong, the sword in his hand immediately stopped, the sound of the sword stopped, and the shadow of the sword disappeared.
Only the hatred and anger that burst into the two eyes!
"Ye Chong, you actually dare to come here!" Zhou Yan's long sword pointed at Ye Chong, hating the authentic language.
"Why can't I come?" Ye Chong walked forward as if no one was around, with a sneer on his face, and said, "Do you still want to beat me?"
"You ......" Zhou Yan choked for a while, he originally lost his right hand because he lost to Ye Chong, and he had to practice using the sword with his left hand, and now he is not Ye Chong's opponent.
But then he snorted coldly and said, "What are you arrogant about! Do you know what kind of place this is?!"
When he said this, the door of the main hall was opened, and Ji Jinfeng, who was weak, and Liu Jinping, who was smiling gently, all walked out of the room.
As soon as their gaze fell on Ye Chong's body, they changed. Ji Jinfeng has the same hatred as Zhou Yan, and Liu Jinping, who has always been moody, was also very surprised.
Ye Chong met the gaze of all of them without fear, and said loudly: "Of course I know, this is the Elder Peak, the Elder Courtyard, and the residence of Elder Mu Feng. ”
When Zhou Yan saw his appearance, his resentful gaze was even worse, but his senior brother took the lead and said with a smile: "Then I don't know what Brother Ye Chong is doing here?"
Liu Jinping's eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Chong, as if he didn't want to miss any trace of his expression.
But Ye Chong is also a master of this way, his face did not show an expression that could be seen through by Liu Jinping at a glance, he was still unhurried, and even imitated the tone of this Elder Mu Feng's eldest disciple, and said with a smile: "When I came to Elder Mu Feng's courtyard, I naturally wanted to meet Elder Mu Feng. ”
"Hmph, arrogant boy, can we see our master if you want to see it?" Ji Jinfeng was seriously injured that day, and he had not fully recovered at this time, and when he drank this sentence with a pale face, he let out a series of coughing sounds.
But the anger in his expression showed no signs of extinguishing, but because of Ye Chong's calm expression and tone, it became more depressed and intense.
Ye Chong said in a faint voice: "Elder Mu Feng is ranked seventh in the Hall of Elders, and his status is naturally majestic and noble, but this doesn't seem to be the reason why I can't meet him, right? If I'm such a little sword slave and I ask to see but can't see it, wouldn't it have a bad impact on Elder Mu Feng if it spreads out?"
"Strong words!" Ji Jinfeng's body trembled slightly because of anger, his pale face turned sick with anger, and said: "Get out of here immediately, if you want to come here to spread wild, you are too tender!"
"Hey, junior brother, you don't have to speak so impulsively, I believe that Brother Ye is not without reason to come here. Liu Jinping smiled, looked at Ye Chong, and said, "Brother Ye, why are you visiting the family teacher? You might as well tell us first, perhaps, you don't have to see the family teacher, we can solve your affairs with the three of us." ”
Liu Jinping thought about it carefully, and felt that the only possibility that Ye Chong came here was that it was now rumored in the Sword Shrine that the elders of the Dantang were not strict with the people under his disciples, and this kid should have guessed that they were the masterminds behind this matter, and came here to ask for an explanation. I'm just not sure if he wanted to come himself, or if Elder Dantang asked him to come.
But it didn't matter, he didn't think Ye Chong would be able to ask for anything again.
Liu Jinping is ready to make this young boy realize the cruelty and ruthlessness of reality.
However, Ye Chong didn't question them as he thought, and didn't even mention that matter. Instead, he frowned, touched his nose, and said with some hesitation: "It's not convenient to talk to you about this matter, so it's better for me to meet Elder Mu Feng directly." ”
"Joke, in this sword mound, there is nothing inconvenient to talk about, I think you just relied on someone to back you and came here to make trouble!" Ji Jinfeng immediately retorted to Ye Chong unceremoniously.
Zhou Yan was also furious, waved his long sword, and said, "Senior brother, I think he just has bad intentions!"
Liu Jinping walked in front of Ye Chong with a "generous" smile on his face, and said slowly: "Brother Ye, although my two junior brothers are a little rushed, it is not reasonable. If you really have something, you might as well just tell us directly, you don't have to hide it. ”
Ye Chong still touched his nose, looking embarrassed, "Is this good? After all, it is about Elder Mu Feng's family......
There was a pause as he said the word family.
Liu Jinping, Ji Jinfeng and Zhou Yan's colleagues all showed incredible eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about surnamed Ye, our master was born in the Sword Shrine and grew up in the Sword Shrine, where did the family come from?!"
"Oh, I haven't made it clear yet. Ye Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "I mean, Elder Mu Feng is in charge of half of the torture hall, and I heard that every time he goes out to do a task, he is more lenient with his subordinates......"
Again, it was half a sentence, and at first glance it sounded completely unrelated to his previous sentence.
Elder Mu Feng's three disciples hadn't figured out what Ye Chong meant, and suddenly a cough came from the room behind them.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Elder Mu Feng pushed the door open.
"Master!"
Liu Jinping immediately turned around and said.
Ye Chong instantly felt two sharp gazes fall on his body, and at the same time, there was an invisible pressure, squeezing his head, shoulders, and chest, bringing him tearing pain and a strong feeling of suffocation.
But Ye Chong had no fear in his heart at this time, but endured the pain and suffocation, raised his head, met the sharp gaze, and looked at the gray-haired old man.
The pressure on Ye Chong's body continued to increase, and then increased, as if it was going to crush his shoulders, squeeze his head, and shatter his heart.
His face was as red as if drunk, even more sickly than Ji Jinfeng, and even a little distorted.
But he still tried, holding his head high, and looked at the old man.
At this moment, Elder Mu Feng's three disciples all felt the changes in Ye Chong's body, and sensed the strong impact of their master on Ye Chong that broke out in an instant.
They were excited, confused, or frightened.
But invariably, silence remained at this moment.
The entire courtyard was extremely silent, and only Ye Chong felt a thousand heavy pressures.
It's just a breath of time, but it's like a year has passed.
Until Ye Chong's body had begun to tremble, he clenched his fists tightly and threw a mocking look at Elder Mu Feng.
Elder Mu Feng's three disciples, when they saw Ye Chong's eyes, their first reaction was that they were all overwhelmed and looking for death!
But just when they thought that Elder Mu Feng would inevitably be furious and crush Ye Chong with his powerlessness, Elder Mu Feng took a step towards Ye Chong.
All the pressure on Ye Chong's body disappeared at this moment.
"Whew!"
Ye Chong gasped heavily, but on his face, he did not hide a successful smile.
He just wanted to show his attitude and expression to Elder Mu Feng, so that the old guy could be convinced that he had mastered the secrets and handles that he didn't want to be known the most.
And the two seemingly unrelated words he said before him were also deliberately said to Elder Mu Feng.
"Take it with you in the yard. ”
At this time, Elder Mu Feng gave a word of advice to his three disciples, and then looked at Ye Chong, "You, come out with me." ”
His tone was very indifferent, but Ye Chong was sure that under his indifferent appearance, his heart must have been turbulent.
So he chuckled, pretended to be polite, and then followed Elder Mu Feng out of this courtyard under Liu Jinping's incredulous gaze.
......
Silent.
Outside the elder's courtyard, Ye Chong and Elder Mu Feng looked at each other, both of them closing their lips tightly, and none of them spoke.
An elder and a sword slave confronted each other silently.
One has a deep gaze, the other has a playful look.
It's just that at this time, there is no coercion, only the battle of eyes remains.
Around them, there were the vicissitudes of the ancient trees on the Elder Peak, the smooth road, the cold wind, and the solemn heaviness that seemed to mix in the air.
The outcome of the confrontation was unexpected.
Elder Mu Feng, who was supposed to be calm and sophisticated, was actually defeated, and opened his mouth first, "What do you want to do?"
He didn't ask Ye Chong where the news came from, nor did he threaten Ye Chong, let alone kill people.
Because he knew that without the instructions of Elder Dantang, even if Ye Chong got the news or had the evidence, he would not have the courage to come to him alone.
So he simply cut out those unnecessary processes, and still asked Ye Chong what he wanted to do in a seemingly indifferent tone.
"Apologies. Ye Chong said without hesitation: "Apologize to Elder Dantang." ”
