Back at the inn, Mu Dongfeng and Yun Tang first went to meet the Qingyun Daoist and told the master about the incident with the half-sword scholar.

After hearing this, Daoist Qingyun smiled, and said, "I know that Chu Banjian will not miss tomorrow's grand event." ”

"Master. Mu Dongfeng asked while pinching Qingyun Dao Chief's shoulder: "You said, is Uncle Half Sword's Nai He Sword really a murder weapon?"

Qingyun Dao Chang shook his head and said: "The sword is not wrong, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so Chu Banjian named the sword." In fact, the original name of this sword was Ni Shang, and thirty years ago, half of the rivers and lakes were sensational for this sword. Your uncle also got this sword by chance, and since then he has the honorific title of half-sword scholar. ”

Mu Dongfeng asked, "What is the matter with the sun and moon without light?"

Qingyun Dao Chang replied: "According to what you said, it is estimated that someone expected that Chu Banjian would come to participate in the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference every five years, and bought the people with no sun and moon in advance, and ambushed in the Seven Dao Rivers and Mountains, preparing to poison and assassinate and seize the Nai He Sword. ”

Yun Tang frowned and said, "In order to kill one person, the layout is five years in advance, this is too perverted, right?"

Qingyun Daoist shook his head: "It may not be the arrangement five years ago, it may also be a month ago when the killer killed the shopkeeper and changed his appearance, otherwise the Seven Dao Rivers and Mountains would not have been picked out by the wind so much." ”

Mu Dongfeng nodded and said, "Master's statement, it makes sense." I still wonder if a dignified time-honored brand is so unprofessional, it seems that someone is indeed impersonating. ”

"It seems that this martial arts conference is mixed with dragons and snakes, and someone must want to take advantage of this conference to make trouble. When you go up the mountain tomorrow, you two must be cautious, and go out for the teacher later, contact a few old immortals, and prepare in advance. Qingyun Daoist held the dust whisk in his hand and smiled slightly, and a hint of the cunning of an old fox flashed in his smile.

Aren't the three elders of the rivers and lakes just old foxes!

Qingyun Daochang, Half-Sword Scholar, and Buxiao Monk are more than two hundred years old, and it has been a full thirty years since the first time they presided over the Central Plains Martial Arts Conference. The years are quiet, but they urge people to get old. The three elders of the rivers and lakes intended to take advantage of this martial arts conference to let Xian abdicate and fade out of the rivers and lakes.

"Master," Mu Dongfeng hurriedly said, "Godfather and Senior Sister haven't arrived yet, can Senior Brother and I go up the mountain later tomorrow." ”

"No, you can't. Qingyun Dao Chang said: "It has been explained in the teacher's letter, the time and place of the meeting are set at Zhuyu Peak tomorrow, you don't have to wait here, you can naturally meet at the top of the mountain at that time." ”

"Well, got it. Mu Dongfeng shrugged.

"There is one more thing..."Qingyun Daoist continued, "You two will focus on observing the traces of Xiangyang Marquis Shen Wanshan tomorrow. This person is vicious and treacherous, and there must be something strange about going up the mountain this time!"

Yun Tang responded: "Don't worry, Master." I will. ”

Yun Tang and Mu Dongfeng returned to their rooms, sullen.

Mu Dongfeng touched the jade that Zhuo Qingyan gave him three years ago, and muttered, "Senior brother, do you think my senior sister will come?"

"Didn't Master say it, he has already explained it in his letter, so you can wait with peace of mind. Look at your little bit of talent! I think you still want to think about how you can find Shen Wanshan in the vast sea of people tomorrow. ”

Mu Dongfeng pursed his lips and said, "It's not easy. Hey, you say, will my sister like the gift I gave me?"

"Yes! If you can give a big girl this kind of gift, she will definitely kick you down the mountain, do you believe it?" Yun Tang scoffed.

"You don't understand. Mu Xing Dongfeng smiled proudly: "Senior sister's temperament is something that you laypeople can't understand. ”

"Okay, okay, I don't understand. Then you can tell me how to find Shen Wanshan tomorrow. Yun Tang sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, brother, I have everything. The mountain people have their own tricks!" Mu Dongfeng hugged the pillow and gradually snored.

Yuntang shook his head and said to himself, "Do your spring and autumn dreams!"

In his dream, Mu Dongfeng really saw Zhuo Qingyan, he smiled stupidly, Zhuo Qingyan also laughed stupidly, there was a wall between the two, half a person high, and there were corn trees planted on the wall, and the ears were full of red grains.

At dawn, Mu Dongfeng woke up with a smile. He even forgot what he dreamed about, but kept smiling.

He got up and came to the courtyard to practice a set of swords, sweated, fetched water and washed up and came to the room of the Qingyun Daoist, but after knocking on the door, he found that there was no one in the house, the futon was not opened, it seems that the Qingyun Daoist did not come back last night.

Mu Dongfeng hurriedly woke up Yuntang and said, "Master has not returned overnight, and it is estimated that there will be changes in the martial arts conference." ”

Yun Tang yawned and said, "Master's martial arts are superb, and there will definitely be no danger, why are you in a hurry?"

"I'm not worried that Master is in danger, I'm saying that there is a change in the martial arts conference. Let's hurry up now, you pack your bags, and I'll get some things ready. "Mu Dongfeng is full of mystery.

"What are you going to prepare?" Yun Tang asked.

"You don't care, it's useful anyway, you must know that the master let us keep an eye on Shen Wanshan. We can't even find anyone now, how to keep an eye on it, so you listen to me, I'll find a way to find Shen Wanshan first. You pack your bags and go straight up the mountain, and I'll be waiting for you on the road to the top of Dogwood Peak. Mu Dongfeng is full of confidence.

Yun Tang got up and stretched, and said, "Okay, let's see you on the road!"

Mu Dongfeng turned around and went out, disappearing in an instant.

Yun Tang came to the master's room, and when he packed his luggage, he found a letter in the package, which read "Qingyun Qi".

Yuntang thought about it, opened the letter and looked at it, and was shocked.

The content of the letter is very short: Brother Dao Taijian, the martial arts conference is dangerous and abnormal, and I hope to be careful. Because of important matters, unable to go to the appointment, Chongyang Day Yangzhou Tianyi Pavilion meeting, see each other!

It seems that this is a letter from a monk who does not laugh.

One of the three elders of the rivers and lakes was assassinated, one of them missed the appointment, and only the head of Qingyun Dao attended the meeting, Yuntang thought of this, and unconsciously shivered.

Yuntang hurriedly packed his luggage, checked out and walked out of the inn, and began to walk up the mountain. There are more and more tourists in the same country, and the steps up the mountain are full of people.

"There is a card on the way up the mountain, and you need to register to go up the mountain. The person in front whispered.

"What? Shekha, who is so bold?"

"Shhhhhh The card set up by the official government, Six Doors and Zuo Wuwei jointly enforced the law, saying that it was to ensure the safety of the martial arts conference. ”

"The people of the government? What is going on! How did the martial arts conference become an official?"

"I heard that the three elders of the rivers and lakes have taken refuge in the imperial court, and the conference was presided over by Shen Wanshan, the Marquis of Xiangyang, and the winner of the conference competition was rewarded by the imperial court. ”

"Ah! So, this martial arts conference will not become a martial arts event, and whether it can be mixed with an official and a half-post in the future depends on today. ”

"Yes, stand in line and register, Master Wu. Haha..."

"Where, where? Lord Deng, hahahaha..."

Yun Tang heard it inexplicably, and at this time, someone behind him pulled his sleeve, turned his face to look, and was startled, and a powerful ghost behind him was looking at him with bared teeth.
