Chapter 61: Traces

Half a month later, there was only one post left in Li Zifeng's baggage, Li Zifeng looked at the three big words 'Mu Lin Ge' in the invitation card in his hand, and sighed heavily.

Shen Tianxiong was originally friendly with Ouyang Ze, but every time Li Zifeng saw the faint smile on the middle-aged man's face, he always had a feeling that he had nowhere to hide.

"Senior brother, why did you leave Mu Lin Pavilion last?" Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them had not yet entered Mu Lin Pavilion's sphere of influence, Xu Zining's stomach was full of questions and finally couldn't hold back his questions.

"Shen Tianxiong is a person, the city is very deep, and he is both good and evil, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed and delay the trip, so I will leave it for the end. Li Zifeng Zi'an was not afraid of being troubled, but he was a little palpitating at Shen Tianxiong's words to the Hengshan faction not long ago, and he was not sure whether the mysterious middle-aged man was a temptation or a hint.

Xu Zining: "No, a few days ago, Senior Shen only came, and it seems that he is very easy to get along with." After all, Xu Zining knows very little about these famous figures, and his experience is also lacking.

Li Zifeng shook his head and instructed, "Okay, the front is the realm of Mulin Pavilion, we just need to fulfill the courtesy, as for whether he comes or not, it is not within our task."

Xu Zining answered and didn't ask again.

Mu Lin Pavilion is located in the depths of Yujiang City, covers an extremely wide area, from the outside is a blue brick wall, ink tile, brown gate, looks elegant and generous, into the courtyard, you will find that the architectural style is very different, the vegetation is dense, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, the corridor waist is back, the eaves are high pecked, hidden in all kinds of strange flowers and plants, the disciples in the door are not few, but most of them act secretively, just like the temperament of their pavilion master Shen Tianxiong.

Led by the waiter into the Muxin Palace, Shen Tianxiong was already waiting, Li Zifeng showed an indifferent smile, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed slightly to make a plea, "This post is really a little late, it's a junior, I hope the Lord Shen Pavilion will forgive me." ”

Shen Tianxiong stroked his gray beard with a smile, his eyes were full of joy, "Hey, what did the virtuous nephew say? The visit of the two Hengshan sect disciples made the Mu Lin Pavilion shine, and it was also my honor! I never thought that this martial arts conference would have a place for our Mu Lin Pavilion. ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they were both a little puzzled, when did Mu Lin Pavilion need to lower his posture so much? Although Mu Lin Pavilion is not as good as the Hengshan faction, it is also a top sect among the first-class sects in the rivers and lakes, and the relationship with the master seems to be reasonable, this is the place where it is sung again.

Li Zifeng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart also twitched, "The predecessor said that he laughed, the predecessor was a famous martial arts master, and he has been famous for a long time, and Mu Lin Pavilion is also a famous faction with strong strength, how can this martial arts conference be born without the position of Mu Lin Pavilion." ”

After greetings, they took their seats. The two disciples of Mu Lin Pavilion brought a blue and white porcelain teapot, the heat came out from the spout, and the wisps of tea fragrance filled the hall, Li Zifeng couldn't help but sigh secretly, good tea!

As the chief disciple of the Hengshan faction, he has never seen any tea, although he has not studied this way, but it can be imagined that Li Zifeng can secretly praise it, this tea is indeed rare.

Xu Zining is not a tea lover, he only feels that the fragrance is good for the spirit, it is very natural, he picked up the teacup that had just been poured and drank it all, Li Zifeng was a little hesitant, if there was a problem with this tea, he was the two brothers who had to explain it here, and then he was relieved, feeling that he was too vigilant, and was a little dazed by Shen Tianxiong's inexplicable compliment.

Also picked up the teacup and took a sip, sure enough, the tea was good! And Shen Tianxiong, who was at the top, was still smiling hospitablely.

Li Zifeng finally couldn't help it, the corners of his mouth twitched, he really couldn't figure out what medicine Shen Tianxiong bought in the gourd, there was absolutely no problem with the tea, and when the tea entered the abdomen, Li Zifeng mobilized his internal breath to investigate his body, and the tea not only had no abnormality, but also had a very subtle increase in strength. Li Zifeng was extremely unwell. Others didn't do anything inappropriate, and Li Zifeng didn't have a good seizure for a while.

"Lord Shen Ge, the invitation has been delivered. If there is nothing else, the younger generation will retire for the time being, and there are still many things to deal with on the mountain. Li Zifeng resisted getting along with Shen Tianxiong from the bottom of his heart.

"It's okay, since the two virtuous nephews still have something to deal with, I won't stay longer. The tea just now is good, bring some back and let your master taste it too, he is also a good tea person. ”

At this time, Shen Tianxiong was like caring for his juniors, showing a little bit of love, and people who didn't know might mistakenly think that these two families were close friends.

After that, the two of them were not allowed to shirk, so they ordered the people of the Mu Lin Pavilion to send a beautiful jar containing tea. Li Zifeng frowned, knowing that Shen Tianxiong's move was a bit contrived, but he always had the sincerity of hospitality on his face, even if he was dissatisfied, his words were suppressed by Shen Tianxiong's smile on his face.

"Hehe, the two virtuous nephews go all the way!"

Li Zifeng was ready for Shen Tianxiong's temptation, but Shen Tianxiong kept silent, and put on such a posture, which made Li Zifeng have nowhere to focus.

After saying hello, the two turned around and exited the Muxin Palace, the smile on Shen Tianxiong's face gradually disappeared, he straightened his cuffs, and measured his head slightly, "How is Qingsongtang's recent movements?"

A hoarse voice sounded in the shadows of the main hall, "Don't worry, everything is as expected by the Pavilion Master." ”

Posting a hero post is over. Li Zifeng asked Xu Zining to go back to the mountain first, and asked him to tell Ouyang Ze that Uncle Shen of Qingsong Hall had something to discuss with him, and he would have to delay for a few days before he could go back.

Li Zifeng had already discovered that since he left Yecheng that day, the number of hidden secret guards around him had doubled, Li Zifeng couldn't figure out Ouyang Ze's purpose, and he couldn't get rid of the secret guards clearly, so he could only use Shen Zhiping to find him to have something to discuss.

Hongyuan Villa Li Muyang study

At midnight, the insect chirping gradually stopped, and Li Muyang, dressed in brocade clothes, blew out the candle flame on the case and stood in front of a pair of paintings and calligraphy of mountains and rivers. The room was plunged into darkness, and after a few breaths, a faint sound of dislocation of the springs sounded and quickly disappeared.

In a dark room that was almost closed all around, an oil lamp was lit up defenselessly, the room was not narrow, more than two feet long and wide, and there were all kinds of utensils, but all kinds of utensils were luxurious, and the gold and jade inlays could glimpse the treasures in the dim light.

There is a small table in the center of the room, two people sit on both sides of the darkness where the flames are dispersed, there is an oil lamp on the table, the fireworks are dark blue and burn steadily, not slowly, on both sides of the table, on one side, it is Li Muyang, who has just disappeared from the study, looking at the fireworks in the middle indifferently. On the other side, there was a person who was shrouded in a black robe, and his face could not be seen. But there is a cold posture all over the body, which makes people palpitate.

After a long time, the black-robed man made a hoarse and calm voice, "You have thought about it, this matter is of great benefit to you, and it doesn't cost you anything, you just need to watch the play from the sidelines." ”

Li Muyang didn't say anything, still staring at the fireworks in the middle.

The man in black was obviously also a person who was very deep in the city, and after speaking, he was not in a hurry to get an answer, he was as motionless as an ice sculpture, the two of them were very profound, their breathing was extremely light, and they were silent, as if there were no living things in this obscure room.

After a long time, Li Muyang agreed, "Yes, but can you do what you promised me?"

"No matter whether it is a big thing or not, Hongyuan Villa is always Hongyuan Villa!" said the black-robed man, word by word, and with his unique voice, it seemed that this statement was extremely credible.

Li Muyang looked at the cold light of the iron mask on the black-robed man's face, and frowned, "There was an ignorant house slave who made the decision for me before, and I'm afraid there is no way out." ”

"So... Very good!"

The dark blue fireworks in the secret room were suddenly extinguished, the faint flickering treasure light disappeared, and the entire room fell silent again.

Soon after Li Zifeng and Xu Zining separated, they received a message from Shen Zhiping, and then went directly to Yunxuan Pharmacy in Yeyang City.

It was noon, the sun was dazzling, the pedestrian traffic was obviously scarce, and the small vendors on the street were lazily leaning on their stalls, some fiddling with the items on the stalls, and some simply lying on the stalls and taking a nap.

Li Zifeng walked to the Yunxuan Pharmacy, subconsciously observing the movements around him, and when he was young, a few passers-by and pretending to be a vendor who seemed to have no intention of walking came into view, and Li Zifeng frowned.

But in the end, there was nothing to be done, after all, it was the people sent by Master Ouyang Ze, and he couldn't get rid of them clearly, thinking of this, he sighed helplessly, and went straight to the Qingsong Hall study.

Shen Zhiping was already sitting in front of the bookcase waiting for him, and Li Zifeng bowed slightly, "There is Uncle Lao." ”

Shen Zhiping held the scroll in his hand, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "Those people outside, did they make you uncomfortable?"

Li Zifeng smiled apologetically, "The disciple has caused you trouble." ”

"It doesn't matter. Shen Zhiping picked up a small wooden box on the table and got up and handed it to Li Zifeng.

Li Zifeng hesitantly took it and opened it, and on the light brown lining inside, there were two booklets, on which was a slightly larger bag, and the bag was bulging, as if an important object had been placed.

was hesitating whether to open it immediately to take a look, Shen Zhiping took the first step to make a decision for him, "Let's take a look after getting out of this door!" After that, he looked outside and said meaningfully, "As for those eyes outside, I will help you deal with them." ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Shen Zhiping smiled deeply, his shrewd eyes seemed to see Li Zifeng through, "I don't care what you do, just don't forget your original intention." ”

Li Zifeng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he saluted Shen Zhiping again, "Thank you Uncle for reminding me, disciple understands." ”

Two hours later, Li Zifeng secretly left from Qingsong Hall, and the secret guard sent by Ouyang Ze to protect Li Zifeng outside waited for a long time and did not see his figure, only to learn that Li Zifeng had already left after entering to investigate.

So, a secret report was sent back to Shang Qingyuan of the Hengshan faction, with only six words on it: Li Zifeng is missing!
