Xun Yuhe gasped after listening to Li Xiangru's narration, and said: "Gu Mufeng, a rebel, is so bold that he actually committed such a beastly behavior behind the back of the division commander. He said to Li Xiangru again: "You get up, you are kind-hearted, for fear that if you tell them about them, you will cause the senior brothers and sisters to be punished by the door rules, although it is a good heart, but it also harms them." Li Xiangru said: "The disciple is stupid, ask for punishment from the door rules." Xun Yuhe sighed and said, "Actually, if you don't say this, no one knows." But now you are talking about it, which shows that you are selfless and above board. The top priority is to get the Qingtong back, and then agree on how to deal with Gu Mufeng, as for how to punish you, let's talk about it slowly!"

Li Xiangru kowtowed: "Thank you, Master." "Stand up. Xun Yuhe said: "Since you know the cause of this incident, you and your Uncle Luo and others will search in front of and behind the mountain, and don't go down the mountain." As for Gu Mufeng, don't alarm him for the time being. You also have to pretend that you don't know anything, and I won't tell anyone about this until I find Qingtong. Otherwise, I will startle the snake, and I am afraid that he will do something rebellious. After pondering for a moment, he said to Li Xiangru: "I will arrange for you to be in a team with your second uncle and Gu Mufeng, and you must secretly observe his actions." Prevent him from playing any tricks again. Li Xiangru nodded yes, and then withdrew.

Li Xiangru found Zhang Baihe and reported to him the arrangements of the head of the house, so he and a few people went to the back mountain. There were Gu Mufeng and his disciples Qingshi and Qingsha in the sect, a total of five people.

The five of them first searched in the woods behind Wudang, found nothing that day, returned to Wudang, and at dawn the next day, the five of them came to the west. The five of them were divided into two teams, led by Zhang Baihe to search for Qingshi and Qingsha to the northwest, Li Xiangru and Gu Mufeng to search for the southwest, and the two had orders to search all the way to the south. The maple forest was in the direction of the two of them, and the two of them looked carefully along the way, calling the name of the young boy in their mouths, Li Xiangru intended to guide Gu Mufeng to the maple forest.

He secretly observed Gu Mufeng's expression, and when he saw that the closer he got to the maple forest, Gu Mufeng slowly became panicked, and his face turned pale. Li Xiangru walked in front, cutting down the bushes and shrubs blocking the way with the long sword in his hand as he walked, and shouted in his mouth: "Senior Sister Qingtong, Senior Sister Qingtong." Gu Mufeng followed behind him and didn't say a word.

When the two approached the stream where Gu Mufeng and Qingtong were dating, Li Xiangru suddenly said, "Senior Brother Gu, what do you think will happen to Senior Sister Qingtong?" Gu Mufeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Who will know what this little girl is thinking." Besides, she and I just meet and say hello, and we don't know much about each other on weekdays. Li Xiangru sneered: "Senior Brother Gu, as far as I know, you and Senior Sister Qingtong are very compatible, it's not that you don't know much about what you said. Gu Mufeng's face sank and said, "Senior Brother Li, what do you mean by this." ”

Li Xiangru said: "I don't mean anything, so many years of senior brothers and sisters, sooner or later, I know a little." Gu Mufeng said: "In order to avoid suspicion, I won't have too much contact with the junior sisters and sisters in the faction, so my understanding is very limited. ”

Li Xiangru said: "Who is the younger sister of Qingtong who gets close to her and has more contact, do you know?" Gu Mufeng frowned and said, "I don't know, why are you asking this?" Li Xiangru said: "Know more about her, you can judge from her daily behavior, where she will do anything." Gu Mufeng sneered and said, "Senior Brother Li, you are really a genius, you are the smartest and most inferable in the whole Wudang." Li Xiangru ignored his insinuations and said lightly: "Don't dare, Senior Brother Gu has won the award." I still know how many catties I have. ”

While talking, the two came to the location where Gu Mufeng and Qingtong were that night, Li Xiangru pointed to the stream and said: "Senior Brother Gu, I wonder if Senior Sister Qingtong will commit suicide by throwing herself into the stream because of some untibling knot?" I think it's a little strange, in recent months, every time I meet Qingtong junior sister, her face and spirit are not very good, maybe she has encountered something difficult, I am a senior brother, it is not good to ask too much, and now she has disappeared for no reason, I am just guessing. ”

Gu Mufeng said: "Senior Sister Qingtong Ji Ren Tianxiang, I believe she will be fine." Li Xiangru said: "I hope so." Pointing to the stream, he said, "Let's follow this stream upstream, and take a look." Gu Mufeng nodded.

The two of them searched one after the other, all the way up the stream. However, as I followed the stream upstream, it became more and more thorny and thick, and it was difficult to walk through it slowly. Li Xiangru waved the long sword in his hand and slashed all the way through, splitting the thorns and trees blocking the road in front of him, opening up a new passage. After more than ten zhang, Gu Mufeng said: "Senior Brother Li, there are few people here, there is not even a road, I think how Qingtong and a girl's family would come to such a place, let's look elsewhere!"

Li Xiangru has been to Wudang for many years, Wudang Mountain is mostly deep ravines and mountains, there are many ravines and mountains have not been visited, the farthest place of the maple forest has only been to the front of the stream, as for the first time to go deep in the forest, looking at the overlapping trees and thorns in front, I also wondered: "I obviously saw the two of them going up the stream that night, but there was no road to pass, where did they go?"

Now when Wen Gu Mufeng said this, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, it's not early today, and there will be no gain if you go on like this, so it's better to go back first, and then come here tomorrow to search, I have a hunch that the junior sister of Qingtong may be in this wood." Gu Mufeng's face changed again, but he recovered in an instant, only to hear him smile and say: "Senior Brother Li, you are joking, there is no way out in front of you, we have searched the rest of the forest, there is no trace of spiders, tomorrow we will go to other places to find, don't waste time and energy here." ”

Li Xiangru bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Gu is reasonable, let's talk about it tomorrow." The two came out of the forest, turned back to Wudang, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Li Xiangru returned to the room, at this time Qingyun was also ordered to go down the mountain to find Qingtong, it is estimated that it will take a few days to turn around, he is the only one left in the room, he sat at the table, his hand on his chin, thinking back to Gu Mufeng's suitable expression, his heart was full of doubts, thinking: "The disappearance of Qingtong's sister is definitely related to him, that night I watched the two of them affectionately swim along the stream, the next day Qingtong disappeared, and Gu Mufeng returned to the view in a good manner, which is definitely an ulterior secret." ”

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there were many doubts in the maple forest, and I couldn't sit still any longer, so I got up and went out to the maple forest, determined to find out what was going on to solve the mystery in my heart.
