Zhou Chenhai and the others had already walked through the tea room. Behind the tea room is a corridor that is only large enough for two people to pass side by side. Walk through the hallway to a cubicle.

In the center of the compartment is a screen, on which there is a painting in which the Celestial Emperor plays a nine-stringed harp, and the woman in red dances beside it.

Zhou Chenhai sighed in his heart: "What a pair of fairy couples." ”

To the right of the cubicle was an open balcony, and the moonlight shone in, shedding a silvery glow. There is a piano stand in the middle of the balcony, but there is no piano on the piano stand.

Beyond the balcony should be a clear pond, with a stream on the top and a waterfall on the bottom. It's a pity that now the stream has dried up, the waterfall has been broken, and the clear pond has become a barren pit.

Looking back at the screen, behind it is a beautifully engraved wooden bed, with two embroidered wooden pillows and a soft silk quilt.

This should be the bedroom of the Celestial Venerable.

The bedroom is not big, and you can see all the corners at a glance. Except for Zhou Chenhai and a few people here, there is no other figure to be seen.

Where did the Great Monk and the Masked Man go?

Where are the old man in green and the man in black?

Where are the people from Shuiyun Palace?

Zhong Yujian asked, "Why is there no one here?"

Zhou Chenhai said: "There may be a secret room. Let's take a look. ”

Several people searched in the bedroom. Zhou Chenhai held the iron pot and knocked it back and forth on the wall.

No one in the back entered the bedroom, and Zhou Chenhai guessed that it was most likely that the Hundred Flowers Pavilion had blocked everyone out.

A quarter of an hour passed, and no one had gained anything.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhou Chenhai stared at a painting on the wall in a daze.

It was a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, and the picture was posted on the wall, facing the head of the bed. The head of the bed does not press against the wall, but leaves a foot away for one to stand between the painting and the bed.

Zhou Chenhai stood in that one-foot gap at this time, leaning on the head of the bed to observe the pictures. Everyone also crowded over to watch.

Zhou Chenhai said: "Look, is there anything wrong with this picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix?"

Mo Sifan scratched his head: "What's wrong?" I didn't see it. ”

Zhong Yujian said: "The pen and ink are sonorous, and the painting skills are excellent." There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

In that painting, a huge phoenix stands in the center of the painting, its wings outstretched, and its body is surrounded by raging flames. The sky was thundering, and several lightning bolts surrounded the phoenix. Below the picture, hundreds of birds fly from afar, worshipping the phoenix.

Aunt Yun looked at it for a long time and said slowly: "This phoenix ...... No eyes?"

"Ahh

Mo Sifan and Zhong Yujian spoke in unison, and the two immediately reacted.

The place where the eyes should have been painted is now blank.

Zhou Chenhai became serious, "Everyone be on guard, I'm afraid this is the entrance to the secret room." ”

Everyone held their breath, Zhou Chenhai held the iron pot in front of him with his left hand, and slowly stretched out his right hand and pressed it towards the blank eyes of the phoenix.

With a click, the entire wall moved to the right, revealing a secret room.

Suddenly, a sword light shot out from the secret room, heading straight at Zhou Chenhai, who was standing at the front.

The sword flashed, hitting the iron pot and shooting it through a large hole. The penetrating sword light flew over Zhou Chenhai's head.

This sword light came too quickly, and no one reacted. But he saw a figure coming faster, and his long sword shook, and he stabbed several swords in succession.

Zhou Chenhai didn't have time to react, and watched the long sword stab into his heart.

Another sword sprang out from his side, and the two swords quickly exchanged blows more than ten times, emitting a series of crisp metallic sounds. It turned out that Aunt Yun took out her sword to block Zhou Chenhai.

The figure realized that the sword could not be pierced, and quickly retracted the sword and kicked back.

Aunt Yun followed Xiu's leg up, and the latter came first, kicking his ankle.

The figure stumbled in the air and fell back into the chamber. Zhou Chenhai and a few people rushed into the secret room.

The secret room is only two zhang square, and the scene inside is unobstructed.

As expected, those masters who disappeared are here. It's just that the scene in front of him made Zhou Chenhai a little surprised.

It was the elder of the Water Cloud Palace who had just attacked Zhou Chenhai who picked up the stars. He was standing in the corner on the right side of the secret room at this time, staring at Zhou Chenhai with a fierce look in his eyes. Behind him stood the disciples of the Water Cloud Palace. Xu Changfeng was submissive and didn't dare to raise his head.

On the left side of the chamber, a black shadow and a green shadow moved rapidly in the small space, entangled with each other. The energy fluctuations were extremely strong, but they never overflowed the narrow space.

Obviously, the man in black and the old man in green robe were fighting. The green bird stood in the corner, its little eyes dripping at the two men fighting.

There were still two people standing in the left corner of the secret room, the white-clothed scholar and Zhao Tianba. The scholar in white didn't care about the man in black and the old man in green, he stared at the center of the secret room, his eyes full of worry.

In the center of the chamber stood a three-foot-high stone platform. There is a guqin placed on the stone platform, which is simple and elegant, beautiful and atmospheric. From a distance, there seems to be a mighty aura surging out from the guqin.

The nine-stringed piano of the Celestial Venerable!

This is exactly the same as the guqin painted on the bedroom screen, and everyone recognizes it at a glance.

He Juexing obviously knew that this guqin was extraordinary, but he didn't step forward to take it.

Because at this moment, in the center of the secret room, a hurricane of energy convergence is spinning wildly!

The nine-stringed instrument was wrapped in a hurricane. Above it, two palms facing each other, do not give way to each other.

The Great Monk and the Masked Man are facing each other!

The two were in the center of the hurricane, not moving. The two energies in the hurricane, one black and one gold, are entangled with each other, which is extremely terrifying.

The upper body of the great monk was naked, and his strong muscles were full of power. Streams of golden light flowed down his body to his arm, converging in his palm.

The masked man was wearing a long robe, and he could not see the flow of true qi on his body. But on his palm, he could also see a steady stream of black light converging.

Where the two of them met, a buzzing sound passed through the hurricane and spread outside, shaking everyone's eardrums.

When Zhou Chenhai saw this scene, he was worried and wanted to call the great monk out loud. I didn't want to, but I was stopped by Aunt Yun.

Aunt Yun waved her hand and said softly, "If you speak out now, it will only distract the master." Don't worry, we'll find out soon. ”

Sure enough, just a moment, there was a movement in the hurricane.

The masked man slid his right foot back half a step.

After another moment, I only heard the big monk shouting. An aura of light quickly passed from his body through his arm, condensing into the palm of his hand.

"Bang!"

A popping sound came from the palms of the two of them, shaking the masked man and the great monk away, and shaking the hurricane away!

The masked man was shocked and took three steps back. He quickly stabilized his figure, put his hands behind his back, and did not say a word.

The black-clothed man and the green-robed old man who were fighting on the left side were also shaken away, each standing in a corner.

The white-clothed scholar quickly stepped forward to support the masked man and said, "Master, are you okay?"

Where could the masked man speak, he was just pretending to be calm, after all, with a rakshasa mask on his face, no one could see his appearance, let alone his expression.

But he and the great monk had a palm, fighting each other's true qi, and his body was affected by the Kunpeng Divine Skill's fierce true qi, and his internal breath was already chaotic. I had to hold my breath and couldn't speak.

He was shocked in his heart while adjusting his qi, "This Kunpeng Divine Skill is really powerful! More than ten years ago, this thief was definitely not my opponent, but now it is only more than ten years, and his cultivation has surpassed mine." I think that my cultivation is far beyond ordinary people, but I still fail under this divine skill!"

"It's a pity that more than ten years ago, this thief was rescued by the man surnamed Zhou, otherwise he would not have what he is today! But fortunately, this thief is the same as the man surnamed Zhou, and he refuses to kill innocents indiscriminately. As long as I grasp his weakness and snatch the divine weapon here, I don't have to be afraid of him. ”

The masked guest thought to himself, and his breath slowly adjusted smoothly. said to the great monk: "Although you can stop me alone, you can't stop many masters from snatching treasures together." What will you do then?"

The great monk didn't answer immediately, his heart was like a mirror, of course he knew that he couldn't stop many masters. But he also didn't want the treasures of the Joyful Heavenly Venerable to fall into the hands of the villains.

He said slowly: "What the donor said is right, there are many treasures here, and it is impossible for me to keep them one by one alone." But the treasures of the owner here, such as this nine-stringed harp......"

He sighed and stretched out his hand to point at Zhou Chenhai and Zhong Yujian. The two teenagers were stunned for a moment, not knowing what the great monk had planned.

Zhou Chenhai said in his heart: "Could it be that what Master Fei is going to say next has something to do with the two of us?" He was surprised and at a loss, so he could only look at the great monk blankly.

But I heard the great monk say: "If I can't keep it, I will give this piano to these two little donors, and then let go of my hands and do my best to protect them out of the valley!"

After saying this, the two teenagers' eyes were wide open and their mouths were wide open.

Zhou Chenhai secretly said badly: "Master, what are you doing? Master, you are pulling hatred for us! Although the treasure is good, you have to have a life." I'm so handsome and dashing, I don't want to die young. ”

Zhou Chenhai said embarrassedly: "The two of us are young and our cultivation is low, how can He De take this treasure." I'm afraid the master has chosen the wrong person. ”

The great monk said in a firm tone, "No, I didn't make a mistake." From the time you bowed down to worship the statue, I was convinced that the two little benefactors were not people who relied on treasures for the sake of the world. Buddhism follows a single character. It is also fate that I can meet the two little donors, I believe in this fate, and I believe in your purity. ”

The great monk's eyes were scorching, so that Zhou Chenhai didn't know how to answer. Obviously, they only have a few faces with the great monk, but they can be trusted. At this moment, there is only moving.

Standing in the corner, Crane Picking Star was very dissatisfied, and he said: "Master's words are too naïve and ridiculous! If you worship the stone statues, you can see that they are pure? My Shuiyun Palace is famous and upright, and it benefits the people of the world, shouldn't this nine-stringed qin be kept by us?"

The big monk ignored it and said: "Whether it's naïve or ridiculous, the poor monk only believes in these two teenagers right now." These words seemed to be said to the crane picking stars, but the eyes of the great monk looked at the two teenagers.

The two teenagers looked at each other and immediately made up their minds. None of them excused themselves, but nodded solemnly at the great monk.

The great monk looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.

The masked man snorted, "Are you sure you can protect them?"

Great Monk: "Poor monks must do their best!"

Masked Man: "I'm going to see how hard you go!"
