~Earlier, Hanshan Sword Sect Cabinet~

Gao Yuanshan frowned and looked at the letter in front of him, without saying a word. Li Mengru and Li Encheng in front of them also looked serious.

"This is the fourth case this month. Gao Yuanshan opened his mouth and said, "The harmful behavior against my Cold Mountain Sword Sect disciples is becoming more and more intense. ”

"Master in charge, the disciple has been investigating under the mountain for the past few years, and he has never found out which forces have been targeting my Hanshan Sword Sect. Li Encheng said, "The disciples thought that they had been so blatant in recent months, and they might have made big moves recently. ”

"I think so too. Gao Yuanshan sighed and said, "Recently, my physical condition has been getting worse day by day, junior brother, you have been bothering about the affairs of the sect." ”

"You don't have to worry, leave it to me. Li Mengru replied lightly.

Li Mengru looked at the senior brother in front of him with a serious expression, and now this old man who is in his old age can no longer see the shadow of the past.

Li Mengru still clearly remembers that since he was a child, he has always regarded his senior brother Gao Yuanshan as an idol and a target to pursue. Li Mengru knew that Gao Yuanshan's swordsmanship talent was also outstanding, and there were several great clans of the upper three sects that had invited Gao Yuanshan to join, but they were all rejected in the end.

The reason given by Gao Yuanshan was that he was accustomed to the life of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect.

is such a person who devoted himself to the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, but because of that incident, he completely lost his passion for being the head and practicing the sword.

Since that incident, Gao Yuanshan has been in a slump and handed over all the internal and external affairs of the sect to Li Mengru and Ruan Qishen. I lived a life of seclusion.

Li Mengru is the one who watched the whole process of the fall of a generation of talents.

It is impossible to say that there is no qi in the heart.

Part of the reason why Li Mengru has devoted himself to his two disciples over the years is that he wants to cultivate outstanding disciples to show Gao Yuanshan and help him regain his spirits.

So when Su Mu came out of nowhere and snatched the position of Li Encheng's next head, although Li Mengru felt a little sorry for his beloved apprentice, he was actually a little happy. Because it's been a long time since he's seen such a high-spirited senior brother.

And that high-spirited appearance didn't last even a day, and then disappeared.

I don't know how Su Mu's meridians are treated. Before Li Mengru could ask, Li Encheng had already asked first.

"Master, how is Senior Brother Su Mu now?"

"Mu'er, hey. Gao Yuanshan heard Su Mu's name, and his tone was obviously a little softer, "There was a letter from the Butterfly Fairy before, saying that Mu'er has completed the pulse change, but she is still recovering, and it will be interesting to see what kind of effect it can have." ”

"Since it's changed, it's better than nothing. Li Mengru opened his mouth to comfort. In Li Mengru's opinion, even if there is really such a divine doctor who can help reshape the meridians, foreign objects will always be useful to no one who naturally generates, and it is not expected to recover to the previous strength, I hope that I can still achieve something by relying on that terrible kendo understanding.

"Hopefully. Gao Yuanshan sighed and said.

"Master in charge, rest assured, the junior brother Jiren has celestial phenomena, and he will be able to turn evil into good fortune and survive in desperate places. Lee Eun-sung said.

"Well, by the way, why hasn't the fourth junior brother seen him in the past two days, what has he been doing?" Gao Yuanshan suddenly asked.

The fourth uncle, Han Shan Xue, has always been responsible for the guidance of the disciples of the outer sect. But recently, it has been uncharacteristically absent for several days.

Li Mengru also felt very strange. It stands to reason that the fourth uncle should be the person who shows his face the most in the entire sect, he is not kind and talkative, and he is also very well-behaved. Now that I suddenly didn't even participate in the morning and evening ceremony, it was inevitable that people would be worried.

Li Mengru couldn't help frowning, turned around and asked Li Encheng, "Encheng, didn't you see your fourth uncle when you went to the dojo to practice in the past two days?"

"Back to Master, it's true. Li Encheng thought for a while and said, "The senior brothers are very strange, the fourth senior uncle has always been diligent and strict, and he will supervise everyone's practice in the dojo almost every day, but now he hasn't appeared for two consecutive days. ”

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"It should have been at the Evening Ceremony the day before. Lee said.

"No one saw where he went after the Xi ceremony?" Gao Yuanshan asked, and Li Encheng shook his head.

"What about Ruan Qishen, what have you been doing in the past two days?" Gao Yuanshan pondered for a moment and suddenly changed the subject.

"The second uncle doesn't seem to be unusual, and has been managing some daily housekeeping in the inner sect. On the contrary, it was Ruan Feng, the second junior brother, who had not participated in the practice for two days. Li Encheng replied.

"Ruan Feng, where did he go, where did he go?" Li Mengru suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"None of them participated. Li Encheng also seemed to realize something, and his face became solemn.

"Eun Cheng, you go check it out. Gao Yuanshan ordered, "Go to all parts of the sect, especially your fourth uncle and Ruan Feng's bedrooms. ”

"Yes, Master. Lee Eun-sung saluted and immediately left the room.

"Senior brother, what do you think?" Gao Yuanshan asked.

"Since that incident, Ruan Qishen has really not behaved out of the ordinary. Senior brother thinks this matter has something to do with him?"

"I'm not sure, but I always have a bad feeling when I see that more and more disciples outside the sect have lost contact in the last few months. Gao Yuanshan stood up with difficulty, and walked to Li Mengru's side with his hands on the table.

"I have a hunch that those guys who are hiding in the shadows should be about to show up. ”

Li Mengru heard the uneasiness and worry in Gao Yuanshan's words. In fact, over the years, Li Mengru has also been secretly monitoring Ruan Qishen. But Ruan Qishen has always been low-key and calm, which is unpredictable, and he didn't even show the slightest bit of horsetails.

Li Mengru thought about the purpose of the attack on the disciples of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect outside the sect, and whether it was related to Ruan Qishen. He also sent Li Encheng and Li Xihan to explore at the foot of the mountain, but they still found nothing. Almost every month, new people in the sect are killed, and the frequency is getting higher and higher, and the methods are becoming more and more cruel, which makes the people in the sect panic.

Seeing Gao Yuanshan's worried appearance, his body and bones were getting worse day by day, Li Mengru became more and more angry in his heart. He had already sworn that no matter who the other party was, he dared to cause such great damage to the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, if he was caught, he would definitely be broken into pieces!

At the same time, Li Mengru has recently begun to feel more and more that if Su Mu hadn't encountered the Qi Sea problem back then, he might have grown to the point where no sect force would dare to get involved easily.

A top master can really protect the safety of a case.

Soon after, Li Encheng came back and informed Gao Yuanshan and Li Mengru that he had not found any clues at all.

Han Shan Xue and Ruan Feng's rooms are all neat and tidy, and they don't look like anyone has lived in them recently. Lee Eun-sung also went to the places where the two might go, but they didn't find anything.

It was as if the snow of the cold mountains and Ruan Feng had evaporated from the world.
