A quiet dark room

At the beginning of the ceremony, Jin Song walked up to the high platform, slowly knelt down on the tablets of the previous masters, stretched out two fingers with his left hand and swore an oath: "The heroic spirit of the master of the Tianfu Gate is above, and the unworthy disciple Jin Song will take over the position of the master of the Tianfu Gate from today, and from then on, he will fulfill his duties, be strict with himself, treat his disciples preferentially, lead the Tianfu Gate to a higher level, and vow to carry forward the Tianfu Gate." Then the disciples in the sect took off the Tianfu Gate Cangyue Treasure Knife hanging behind the plaque of the Salamander's wings, and handed it to the new head of the sect with both hands.

He turned around and hung the knife above his head with his left hand, and the disciples of Tianfu Sect outside the door shouted in unison: "Tianfu Gate" and "Tianfu Gate", and for a while, the voices of people were boiling, making people's blood swell.

He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and then spoke: "The ghost is cloudy, hurting my kindred, and today we have this opportunity, we will kill this demon girl here, and then hang her head at the city gate, to show our perseverance in sending everyone to eradicate evil spirits." As soon as these words came out, the pavilion suddenly boiled.

On the side of the teacup that Ji Chu had just picked up, the tea with a strong fragrance was wet, he put down the teacup, twisted the sleeves of his shirt that were wet with the tea, and said, "It seems that this new master is going to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." ”

Yan Mubai nodded, looked at the side door behind him and said, "But that's fine, I'll go out from this door and investigate." ”

"Let Phantom Er accompany you, and multiple people will take care of you. Ji Chu proposed, his eyes moved to Su Luxuan, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little worried.

The two looked at each other, got up slightly, and walked around.

Su Zi leaned closer to Ji Chu's ear and said softly: "This girl is innocent, but there are many masters in this pavilion, and the two of us can only delay later, not do anything." ”

Ji Chu nodded and said, "In case you do it, don't hurt the little junior sister." ”

Yan and Su quietly walked out of the side door, bypassed the chain bridge, returned to the main courtyard, and were waiting to investigate, when they suddenly saw a shadow at the gate of the courtyard. The two hurriedly jumped on the beam in the corridor, and when they got closer, they saw clearly that the person who came was a disciple of Tianfumen, holding a jujube red elm box, through the gap, there was a curling fragrance coming out, thinking that it was to replace the incense for the main room of the door, and it really took no effort to come, the two looked at each other and smiled, covered their bodies, and waited for the momentum.

The disciples did not stay long after changing the incense, and after he left, the two of them jumped up, and flashed into Jin Song's room.

The layout of the house is neat, there is no trace of redundant decoration, there are only two chairs and stools and a paper fan next to the stable coffee table in the square, and the doors and windows are all raised curtains on one side.

After a careful search, they didn't find it, the two of them couldn't help but be disappointed, and just about to leave, suddenly with a bang, Bai Hong's sword scabbard accidentally rubbed against the high wall on the west side, the sound didn't seem right, the girl stepped forward and knocked three times with her hand, there seemed to be a hollow sound, she turned to Yan Mubai and said softly: "Senior Brother Yan, this way."

Yan Mubai took three steps and made two steps, moved over, raised his hand, lightly tapped a few times with the hilt of his sword, turned to Su Luhuan and said, "You stand back." Then he pushed hard at the edge of the empty sound, Wu Long said, and the two of them tightened their faces, it turned out that this was actually a dark passage.

Yan Mubai put away his saber and took a few steps into it gently, before turning around and saying, "Follow me carefully." Su Luhuan nodded.

The two walked about a dozen steps, and found that there were a few stone steps downward, deep, steep, and dim, Yan Mubai felt the fire fold from his waist, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his empty right hand and said, "I'll hold you." Su Luhuan was stunned for a moment, lightly opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out, this section of light flickered on and off, and she couldn't see her face clearly, it seemed that after a long time, just before he was about to put down his right hand, Su Luhuan obediently stretched out his hand.

Her hands were very soft, and her delicate skin touched Yan Mubai's wide palm, as if it was as soft as boneless. Holding hands together, Yan Mubai's heart fluttered a few times. He spit back and forth a few times, but did not dare to look back at her, and when his mind was quiet, he walked forward by the dim and flickering light.

After two corners, and walked for a long time, a stone door came into view, there seemed to be light reflected inside, Yan Mubai put away the fire fold and carefully attached it to the door and listened for a while, almost nothing could be heard, then slowly pushed the door in, it turned out to be a secret room.

The whole stone room is made of white-gray stone, about six or seven zhang long, four or five zhang wide, there are no valuables in the dark room, only a mahogany square table is placed in the center of the secret room, the table is lit with an oil lamp, the flame moves slightly, but it seems that it has not been cut for a while, from time to time there is lamp oil dripping on the table top, making a clanging sound, the light is very weak. There is also a set of tea sets, all of which are ordinary floral porcelain, which is very plain. A bed with all the bedding on it, but it was damp. In addition, there are several books, the top of which is a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, which should have been turned over many times, and the writing is slightly upturned.

"It seems that this is just an ordinary secret room, and it may be the place where this new master practices. Su Luhuan said softly.

Yan Mubai looked around, and wiped the table with his fingers, "The ordinary secret room is true, but it may not be the place where the master of this new door lives. ”

"How so?"

"Look at this ornament, what's wrong?"

Su Luphantom stood in the middle of the stone room, turned around and said: "No one in the main room of this new door is burning incense, why is there a musty smell here." Su Luhuan gently wiped the tip of his nose with the back of his hand.

"Not only that, do you remember that just now in the main hall of the Chasing Sun Pavilion, the new master of the new door is left handed, whether he swears or holds the knife, you look at the stone room furnishings, the cups and plates are placed on the right side of the teapot, the oil lamp is also on the right side of the table, and even the books that have been flipped through are folded on the right side, which is obviously not the habit of left-handed people. ”

"Exactly, it can't be..."

"Shhhhh

Before the two of them could finish speaking, they heard the sound of small footsteps on the other side of the stone chamber. didn't have time to think about it, the two exchanged glances and quickly retreated into the dark passage when they came.

The two leaned over the corner, and heard the sound of a door opening in the stone room, it seems that the stone room should also be two doors, and the light was dim just now, so they forgot to look for it.

At this time, there was a quarrel between two people in the stone room.

"How did that woman know? You didn't say that if I did what you said, I would be able to avoid this catastrophe, but now I can't even get out of this secret room!"

"Hahaha", a few hideous laughter came from the stone room, this laughter was like a hideous ghost at midnight, it should have been long and sharp, but the voice of the person who came out of the laughter was low and hoarse, and it was even more eerie to listen to it like a sword cutting through flesh. "Why does the Lord of the Shen Sect still want to continue to rule the Tianfu Gate, under one person, above ten thousand? My clever plan has helped you save the life of a dog and has been breathing so far, if the Lord of the Shen Sect can't believe me, then you might as well walk out of this secret room generously, and see if your amorous old lover will spare your life in the past, and don't ask me to do it again when the time comes." ”

After that, it seems to be leaving.

"Wait, just now I was in a hurry, I hope to forgive me, but now I am like a lost dog, if you want me to be sent by you and serve you, you have to let me have the ability to protect myself, then you have the seven ways to get your hands on the seven styles, plus you only passed me three moves on this move today, I heard that this sword move has a total of eleven styles, when can I go down to practice." ”

In the dark, the eyes of Yan and Su were like the fire of insects, shining incomparably.

"This is the purpose of my coming today, as long as you practice diligently, although you can't beat that woman's god and ghost record, but self-protection should be enough, but the Shen Sect Master can think about it, even if you learn this sword trick magic skill, if you have a different heart for me, I will never leave a rebellious and useless person under my sword." ”

"Don't worry, I know your rules, one sword move, one life. I have already solved Hua Lazi and Ning Zhan for you, and it doesn't hurt to have a few more lives in my hands. In the past few days, the news of He Baisheng's death should soon come out, this person has now returned to the cliff, this person is extremely familiar with the history of martial arts, and he is out of nowhere, get rid of him as soon as possible, even if someone is suspicious of you in the future, it will not be easy to investigate your affairs. ”

"You did a good job! This Mongolian Tianyin is a demon, and everyone can punish it, and they deserve it for my great cause, ha~ha~ha!"

There was another strange laugh, and although the man did not come close, he could still feel his daunting laughter piercing through the veins and hitting the heart even through a small stone wall.

"This Sword Villa still needs to be considered in the long run, then Su Lao'er does not enter the oil and salt, it is very difficult, when the time is ripe, we will find a way, I hope you don't be anxious." ”

There was silence in the secret room for a moment, and then I heard the hoarse ghost-like voice slowly flowing out, "Your big apprentice's succession ceremony is almost over, and the guests in the door are like clouds, you better leave here to avoid it, I will guide you today It will take time to practice your swordsmanship, and you have been in and out of the back mountain frequently in the past few days, in case someone finds out, wouldn't it be bad, or leave with me." ”

There was another suffocating silence in the room, and the two of them pricked up their ears and listened for a long time, when suddenly there was a sound of Wulong, and the sound of the stone wall door on the other side opening and closing.

Yan Su and the others heard the sound in the room and gradually became quieter, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the fire rose again, and slowly moved from the dark passage when they came to the loop, and when they reached the bottom, they opened the stone door in Jin Song's room, and quickly exited the room.
