Somewhere in retreat

"Report to your lordship, the people of the Supervision Hall went to the cave confinement area of the inner courtyard. A man with a black aura half-knelt on the ground, reporting to the person in front of him who was meditating with his eyes closed.

"Who is it going?" the meditator did not open his eyes.

"It's the new gray-clothed elders Zhang Hairong and Ying Yuan. ”

"Ying Yuan?" the man opened his eyes, "Isn't this Tai'a's apprentice of that old ghost? ”

"I heard that I was participating in the training. ”

"Experience?" the man's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's okay, the two of them can't find that place in the confinement area, no matter what happens even if they do." ”

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his words were full of frivolity:

"Will they come out alive?"

......

"Do you have a feeling of being cold, stared at?"

Not long after entering the confinement room, Ying Yuan suddenly shivered, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"I also sensed that from the moment we entered the confinement room, someone was secretly watching us, and it seemed like we were in the right place. ”

The conversation between the two was exchanged in the transmission, and they were still wandering around the confinement room on the surface.

"But there's nothing strange about this confinement room, it's quite big, but that's all. Ying Yuan looked at the entire confinement room.

"This is just one of the confinement chambers, there are other confinement chambers going inside. Zhang Hairong is not in a hurry, now that they have determined that there is a problem with this place, now that they know, then they have to stabilize their position and see what the person who is monitoring them wants to do.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

At this moment, a cold voice came into the ears of the two of them, and the two of them looked back at the same time, it turned out to be Qin Yuqiong.

"Why are you coming in?"

Ying Yuan was a little strange, he had memorized the rules and regulations of the Supervision Hall these days, and what he remembered most clearly was that during the execution of the task of the Supervision Hall, irrelevant personnel were not allowed to interfere, this rule was known to all the Sanqing Sects, and it stands to reason that this Qin Yuqiong is the master of a peak, and it is impossible not to know.

"What are you doing here?"

Qin Yuqiong felt even more strange, the confinement room was generally not allowed to enter and exit at will.

"We're looking for ......"

"The supervision hall is in charge, and idle people are not allowed to interfere. ”

Zhang Hairong interrupted what Ying Yuan wanted to say, and looked at Qin Yuqiong in front of him indifferently. Qin Yuqiong was not annoyed, laughed, and said melodiously with her hands on her chest:

"But this is the venue of my Bamboo Pavilion, I'm in charge of here, and I'm also an idler?"

"But you're not from the Overseer's Hall. ”

"Prison Hall, Supervision Hall! Do you only have the Supervision Hall in your eyes!"

"So what?"

"You!"

"Hey, that's enough, don't treat me like I don't exist!"

Ying Yuan forcibly stepped in, what's going on with these two people? It's a bit of a problem, so excited. Fortunately, he is no longer the ignorant teenager he was back then, these two obviously have a leg.

"Listen to me. Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Ying Yuan sighed helplessly, "What we need now is to solve the task, not to quarrel, Brother Hairong, you too, the Lord of the Qin Pavilion is the master of the peak of this Bamboo Pavilion, and she naturally has the right to govern here." ”

"Hmph. When Qin Yuqiong heard Ying Yuan's words, her face changed a little.

"Pavilion Master Qin, you too, this Supervision Hall has been doing things for so long, it has always been this rule, Brother Hairong is also acting impartially, there is nothing wrong with it, why don't we take a step back and let Pavilion Lord Qin also contribute?"

"Brother Hairong, now that we are being targeted by someone I don't know, one more person has more strength. You also know that if the Supervision Hall wants to recruit more people, it is estimated that it will be difficult for a while, and there is just a master of the first peak to take care of it, what do you think of this?"

Ying Yuan said something to Qin Yuqiong, and the other thing was told to Zhang Hairong through transmission. After hearing this, Zhang Hairong glanced at him with a strange expression, but still nodded.

"If it weren't for the safety of my Bamboo Pavilion disciples, I wouldn't have done so much. Qin Yuqiong came down Ying Yuan's steps.

"I hope you don't get in the way. ”

Zhang Hairong glanced at Qin Yuqiong, then turned around and ignored her. Ying Yuan smiled and turned to follow Zhang Hairong.

Passing through several confinement chambers along the way, there were no problems. Now because there is a problem in the confinement room, the disciples who have made mistakes have been transferred, and the confinement room is directly isolated.

It stands to reason that this confinement room is so quiet, it is indeed a good place for meditation and reflection, but I don't know why, Ying Yuan always feels strange and uncomfortable.

"Pavilion Master Qin, I want to ask you a question. ”

"Huh?"

"Is there anyone in charge of your confinement room?"

"This naturally exists, otherwise those disciples who make mistakes are responsible for management, of course, there are also disciples who are responsible for shifts, but there is mainly a person in charge. ”

"Is it only Elder Feng An?

The two questions made Qin Yuqiong stunned for a moment, and then thought about it.

"No, in addition to Elder Feng An, there is another elder named Li Yu. As for the place to take care of it, it's a little bit inside, and we'll see it later. ”

"Elder Li Yu, where is he now?"

Ying Yuan's words silenced the two, yes, two elders, why is Elder Feng An gone, and Elder Li Yu is also gone?

"You should have seen Elder Li Yu a few months ago, so you probably haven't seen him now, haven't you?" Ying Yuan's words carried a hint of excitement, he seemed to have found a person in the dark, and he disappeared inexplicably, which was very consistent with that characteristic.

"When you say that, I think it's a little weird. Pavilion Lord Qin's expression slowly became solemn, "This Li Yu has never tried to disappear for so long on weekdays, and there is no news." ”

"Then this Elder Li Yu might know something. ”

The two nodded tacitly at the same time, agreeing with both sides' views. Zhang Hairong, who was on the side, covered his face helplessly and said:

"The premise of your discussion is that you can find Li Yu, so now who of you knows where this Li Yu is?"

"Aha...... Well, this one. ”

Ying Yuan suddenly woke up.

"The key now is in this confinement area, Li Yu's matter, ignore it for now. I felt that in this place, something was hidden. ”

Zhang Hairong took the lead through the corridor of the confinement room and came to a new small house, which was the elders' lounge responsible for guarding the confinement room. There was no lock on the wooden door, and the three of them easily entered.

The things inside were neatly arranged, but there was some dust on them, and no one had been here for months.

"We also checked the place at the time, but we didn't find anything out of the ordinary. And what can you do in such a small place?" Qin Yuqiong saw Zhang Hairong squatting down, so she told him.

"There are some things that are often in the details, but you just ignore them at the time. Zhang Hairong was unmoved, and carefully inspected the vicinity according to his own experience.

Ying Yuan didn't look at the floor tiles in this room like Zhang Hairong, his eyes fell on the few paintings hanging on the wall. There are three picture scrolls hanging on this short wall, which are the picture of the birthday star offering a peach, the picture of the carp coming out of the water and a blank picture scroll. These three scrolls should have been hung by the two elders, but this position is a bit abrupt, and how can there be a blank scroll here?

"Don't you think there's a problem here?"
