Tan Chu took the letter, was stunned for a while, hesitated, but still stood up and walked outside the hall.

Ouyang Feng, as one of the five uniques, a generation of grandmasters, would never joke about this kind of thing, so Tan Chuduan didn't dare to make a decision at will, for fear that he didn't know that Uncle Zhou really had a lady outside, and it would delay the big thing.

Therefore, he took the letter and called Wang Chuyi, Liu Chuxuan, Hao Datong, Sun Buer and others on Zhongnan Mountain to discuss together.

The letter was passed through the hands of several people, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Sun Buer was the first to speak: "Senior brothers, when did Senior Uncle Zhou have a wife?"

Everyone shook their heads, but they didn't know.

Tan Chuduan hesitated and said: "This matter is a little strange, but I think that with Ouyang Feng's status, he will not do such a nonsense thing, since he wrote in the letter, he said conclusively that he wants to exchange Uncle Zhou's wife for the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and let Uncle Zhou take the "Nine Yin True Scripture" to Baituo Mountain to replace people. ”

"Could it be that we didn't hear about this matter?"

Hao Datong and others have no choice, and now Zhou Botong doesn't know where to go, and only through him can the truth of this matter be verified.

Even if this matter is true, several people do not have the "Nine Yin True Scripture" to replace them.

Hao Datong said quietly: "It's better to let the senior brother decide." ”

Tan Chuduan nodded and said, "That's the only way." ”

Subsequently, several people took the letter and went to see Ma Yu, who was still guarding Wang Chongyang's tomb, and informed Xiaodaotong to call Ma Yu out.

After Ma Yu came out, he read the letter again, he also made a difficulty, he had never heard that Uncle Zhou had a wife, but the content of the letter was conclusive, not like a joke, it was a matter of life, Ma Yu did not dare to be careless.

After thinking for a long time, he said to everyone: "In this way, I will first write a letter in the name of the Quanzhen Sect to tell Ouyang Feng that Uncle Zhou's whereabouts are uncertain and he is not on Zhongnan Mountain, and the Quanzhen Church is vigorously looking for it, and when I find Uncle Zhou, I will tell you." ”

Hao Dadao: "Brother Zhang, Uncle Zhou doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't know when he will find it, but it's a matter of a person's life." ”

Ma Yu thought for a while, and said: "The Nine Yin True Scripture is in the hands of Uncle Zhou, and we don't have it in our hands, thinking that with Ouyang Feng's dedication to the Nine Yin True Scripture, I will definitely wait, and I will also warn in my heart, if it is not good for that woman, my Quanzhen Sect will not rest with him." ”

Then he said: "The three-year tomb guard period is coming, and when the time comes, I will personally go to Baituo Mountain to find out the truth and reality." ”

After some discussion, everyone went down to make arrangements, and now the first task is to find Zhou Botong.

......

Outside Xiangyang City, a tall old man walked towards Xiangyang City, this old man was strong, although he was old, he walked calmly, his long gray hair was draped over his shoulders, and the ends of his hair seemed to be cut off at will by a sharp weapon, uneven, his face was full of wrinkles, full of vicissitudes, and his eyes were cloudy, as if he was godless.

The old man was dressed in a shabby gray robe, and he was carrying a cloth bag, and from the corner of the cloth bag, it could be seen that it was the skin of some small animals, and some mountain goods and the like.

The old man approached Xiangyang City and went straight to the pawnshop.

The pawnshop guy was obviously familiar with the old man, and when he saw the old man enter the door, he smiled and said, "Old man, here you are again." ”

The old man didn't speak, but threw the cloth bag on his back in front of the man.

The guy didn't care, squatted down and took out a bunch of things from the cloth bag, there were rabbit skins, snake gall bladders, and some other mountain goods, checked it, the guy stood up, and said to the old man: "Old man, these things, give you thirty yuan?"

The old man nodded.

The man grinned and put the things away, returned the rag bag to the old man, and then went backstage, carefully counted thirty copper plates, and handed them to the old man.

The old man took the money, turned around and left, without saying a word the whole time.

The man saw the old man walk away, and muttered, "Strange old man." "This old man will come here every few months or half a year, dressed in tatters, for several years, no matter winter or summer, he is dressed like this, and he is not too cold.

At first, the guy gave him a low price, but later he saw that he was pitiful, so he gave it to him at the market price, but no matter how much money the guy gave, the old man just didn't say a word, and he didn't have an expression.

After the old man walked out of the pawnshop, he didn't go anywhere else, first went to the restaurant to buy a large jar of inferior wine, and then went to buy some salt and oil.

After shopping, the old man did not wander around and went out of the city directly.

After getting away from the city gate, the sky gradually darkened, and the old man carried a large jar of wine, and suddenly his feet gradually became faster, and his walking was like flying.

About an hour later, the old man got off the official road and walked deep into the woods in the mountains.

After walking for about a stick of incense, the old man came to a valley.

The sound of "coo" sounded in the valley, the voice was slightly hoarse, but it was agitated and desolate, and the momentum was very proud.

In the dark valley, such a voice suddenly appeared, normal people had to be scared to death, but the old man listened, he had been expressionless, but at this time he showed a smile, the old man seemed to be able to see at night, when walking in the valley, he could always avoid trees, mountains and rocks.

The old man walked to a cave and walked in with his feet raised.

After a while, the candle flame was lit like a bean, although it was not very bright, but it also illuminated the cave.

I saw such a picture, the old man was sitting on a stone bench, and a large eagle with wings was rubbing his head against the old man's neck at this time, like a child snuggling up to his parents.

The body of the eagle was very huge, taller than a man, the appearance was extremely ugly, the feathers of the whole body were black and shiny, but the body was very dirty, the fishing mouth was crooked, and there was a large blood-red sarcoma on the top of the head, and there were thousands of birds in the world, and I had never seen such an ancient and majestic bird of prey.

The old man and the ugly eagle should be partners, the old man let the eagle rub the neck for a while, then pushed it away with a smile, and then opened the big jar of wine, and took out two stone bowls.

The ugly eagle was very excited to see his movements, and couldn't help but scream again, and flapped his wings violently.

Suddenly, inside the cave, the air flow swirled, a vicious wind appeared, and dust flew up.

The old man just wanted to pour wine, but when he saw this scene, he glared at the ugly eagle, and his eyes seemed to flash with sword light, and the cave suddenly lit up, and then it was dark. The old man covered the mouth of the wine jar with one hand and waved it violently with the other.

The dust that had just floated seemed to be under heavy pressure, and it suddenly came to a standstill, and then fell to the ground.

It's a pity that no one can see this strange phenomenon, the old man doesn't seem to care, and the ugly eagle only has the wine jar in his eyes at this time.

The eagle seemed to understand human nature, knew that he had made a mistake, and screamed softly, and his body swung as if to beg for mercy and admit his mistake.

The old man smiled, as if helpless, and then poured two nights of wine, one person and one carving, each drinking a bowl, the old man poured after drinking, one person and one carving, and drank three nights in a row.

It seems to be a tacit understanding of one person and one carving, after drinking, the carving walked to the corner of the cave and fell asleep.

The old man watched with a smile as the eagle fell asleep, and his right hand flicked towards the candle flame, which was immediately extinguished.

But before it was extinguished, in a trance, behind the old man, there seemed to be a broad sword leaning on the stone bed.

In the darkness, the old man did not fall asleep immediately, but walked to the stone bed and sat there, stroking the cold body of the big sword, feeling the touch.

After a long time, he sighed quietly, his voice hoarse, as if he had not spoken for a long time, and his voice was lonely.

"Old man, we haven't been out of the mountain for a long time, we went out once before, and found the first surnamed Wang in the world, and it is not my enemy of ten moves, so I won't go out in the future, so you will sleep here with me. ”

After that, the cave fell silent.

Ask for tickets, don't dare to ask for rewards, just ask for tickets.
