Chapter Twenty-Five: Deceit
"Tianxing Academy really lives up to its reputation. An old man in a black robe clapped his hands.
Zhang Chunyang and the other disciples were respectful, "See Elder Zhao." ”
Ruan Ruan and the three looked at the old man who had just come over, only to see that he had high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and was not tall, but his steps were full of strength. Unlike Zhang Chunyang and other disciples, a small golden sword was embroidered on the cuff.
Elder Zhao glanced at Zhang Chunyang and the others, "Tianxing Academy has a long history, you hairy boys don't know how powerful, when I am as old as you, I don't dare to despise it." ”
Ruan Ruan and the three frowned when they heard this, this Elder Zhao was talking about his own disciple on the surface, but in fact, he was sarcastic that Tianxing Academy was just a past scene.
The Golden Sword Sect was so empty-eyed, and several people secretly said that this trip might not be good.
After Elder Zhao finished reprimanding his disciples, he wanted to leave with Zhang Chunyang and the others, but he completely treated the three of them as air.
Ruan Ruan stepped forward and arched his hand, "Elder Zhao, please stay." ”
Elder Zhao's face was not good, "What's the matter?" ”
Ruan Ruan saw that he pretended not to know, and secretly scolded hypocrisy in his heart, but his tone was still peaceful. "We want to see Lord Gemen, please introduce me on my behalf. ”
"The master of the door is not here, and the old man can call the shots. "Elder Zhao's attitude is indifferent.
Ruan Ruan took a step forward, "That's the case, then I would like to take the liberty to inquire if the people of the Du family can be guests in your faction." ”
Elder Zhao said coldly: "The people of the Du family do not obey the discipline and are detained here. ”
He glanced at Ruan Ruan, "I don't know what you have to do with the Du family, do you still want to stand out for the Du family." ”
Ruan Ruan smiled softly, "I haven't done it yet, but I'm just entrusted by someone." I don't know how Elder Zhao can let the Du family go?"
Elder Zhao sneered for a while, "Ignorant child, who gave you the guts, I Jinjianmen do things, how can I allow others to point fingers." ”
"What the predecessors said is extremely true, they are just curious, the Du family is just a small family, the Jinjianmen family has a big business, and the Du family does not dare to go against your faction. If there is a misunderstanding, please also raise your noble hand. Ruan Ruan persuaded gently.
Elder Zhao laughed dryly, "I don't know if your doll represents Tianxing Academy or your own meaning." ”
Ruan said in a deep voice: "I am only a new disciple, and this matter is also my personal matter. ”
Elder Zhao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said: "This matter is not without a turnaround, the Du family's situation today is all because of one person." ”
"Who?" Ruan Ruan asked.
"Jing Changtian, this person is wanted by my sect, I believe that in the Tianxing Academy, you have also seen the published mission. Elder Zhao said slowly.
Ruan Ruan's heart shook violently, it turned out that the task of the academy was actually done by Jin Jianmen. Many thoughts swirled through his mind, and he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Elder Zhao continued: "Jing Changtian had a close relationship with the Du family, and if the Du family didn't cooperate to find Jing Changtian, we had no choice but to imprison him. ”
Ruan Ruan calmed down her emotions and her face remained unchanged. "I don't know what Elder Zhao means......"
Elder Zhao nodded, "If you can provide Jing Changtian's clues and help the Golden Sword Sect capture this person, we will not be embarrassed by the people of the Du family." ”
Ruan Ruan secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, although he didn't know why Jin Jianmen wanted to arrest his grandfather, but this was obviously not the time to turn his face.
"The world is big, the sea of people is vast, it is indeed a bit difficult to find a person, and the predecessors have a way to compromise. Ruan Ruan looked embarrassed.
Elder Zhao pretended to groan for a moment, "Well, we have been offering a reward for this task for several years, and there has been no result yet. But......" He paused slightly.
Ruan Ruan knew that he had to calculate himself, and showed a sincere look, "If the seniors have something to say, you might as well say it directly, and do your best in the next place." ”
Elder Zhao laughed, "My sect has found a secret place in this Burial Moon Mountain Range. It is suspected that it is the cave house left by the master, but many visits have not yielded anything. Since you are disciples of Tianxing Academy, if you want to come with extraordinary skills, it is better to go with me, if you have any gains, the people of the Du family can be regarded as a gift to Xiaoyou. ”
Ruan Ruan changed when he heard his name, knowing that this trip must be dangerous, and this Elder Zhao clearly wanted the three of them to be the bait for exploration.
But if he didn't agree, Du Xiaobai's trust could not be achieved. Besides, listening to what I just said, the relationship between the Du family and his grandfather is not shallow, so he can't let it go.
Moreover, the people of the Du family were imprisoned as hostages in Jinjianmen, and if the grandfather knew, he might risk death to come to the rescue. The Golden Sword Gate is waiting for the rabbit, and then the grandfather will be in danger, so he can only take one step at a time.
There was a plan in his heart, but his face was silent, "We need to discuss it, and if we have the result, we should visit our seniors." ”
Elder Zhao nodded and led the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect to leave.
Ruan Ruan and the three of them went all the way down the mountain, and Zhu Zixin was puzzled: "There are many disciples of this Golden Sword Sect, why did you choose us." ”
Qiu Meili was silent, completely different from usual.
Ruan Ruan saw that he was preoccupied, and patted Qiu Mei's shoulder. "I think that the secret realm must be heavily prohibited, and the Golden Sword Gate must have lost a lot of manpower. ”
Zhu Zixin said angrily: "That's not to make it clear that let's be cannon fodder." ”
Ruan Ruan sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with you, why don't I go alone." ”
Zhu Zixin said with a smile: "We are brothers and sisters, how can we let you be in danger alone." You said yes, right?" said as he squeezed his eyebrows at Qiu Meili.
Qiu Meili suddenly asked, "Brother Shi, do you know your background?"
Ruan Ruan was taken aback, "What does Brother Qiu mean by this?"
Qiu Meili smiled bitterly: "As far as I know, the Golden Sword Sect fought against the Void Valley more than ten years ago, and only the Chief Elder of the Void Valley, Jing Changtian, was able to escape. He looked at Ruan Ruan, "You call Grandpa Jing Changtian, I don't know if he mentioned where you came from." ”
Ruan Ruan's mind came to mind when he was a child, when he was on the top of the mountain, he saw his grandfather fighting with the black and white envoys. I was young at the time, but when I remembered it, there were already signs of it.
Grandpa never mentioned his origins, telling him that he had picked it up from the mountains.
"I grew up with my grandfather and was later taken in by Glen. Ruan Ruan said honestly.
"Brother Shi, your name was changed to Yushi later. Qiu Meili speculated.
Ruan Soft's heart was beating wildly, and Qiu Mei was exactly as she guessed. Although he didn't deliberately hide his life experience, he didn't tell himself in detail when he thought about it at this time.
Ruan Ruan thought of a possibility, but couldn't be sure, so he could only ask Xiang Qiu Meili. "Does Brother Qiu know the situation in Xugu?"
Qiu Meili nodded, "Xugu rarely walks outside, I once heard my father say that both Xugu and Yougu have a big secret. ”
Zhu Zixin hurriedly said: "I also heard that the Void Valley and the Hidden Valley are known as the Void Realm and the Secret Realm, and they must both have their own caves and blessed lands. ”
Qiu Meili continued: "The Golden Sword Sect has always snooped on the secrets of the Void Valley, and did not hesitate to use force. But Jing Changtian ...... No, Grandpa Jing, escaping from Xugu, and the Golden Sword Gate chasing after him, must have decided that the secret of Xugu was hidden in Grandpa Jing. ”
"Now the so-called exploration of the secret realm, the Eight Achievements is the place where the Void Valley is located. ”
"No wonder Jin Jianmen went to great lengths to know Grandpa's whereabouts. When Zhu Zixin was in distress at sea, Jing Changtian also stepped forward and respected him, so he also called him grandpa.
Ruan Ruan was silent in thought, the current situation was obviously a dead knot. If the secret of the Void Valley is in Grandpa, then they will have no clue where to go. In this way, the people of the Du family could not be rescued, and it was impossible to hand over the grandfather to the Golden Sword Gate.
