CHAPTER XXXV
"I wonder where Elder Zhang Bucai is?" asked Li Geng.
Ye Xun said: "Zhang Bucai's predecessors have been martyred. Then Ye Xun told Li Geng what happened to Zhang Bucai.
Li Geng was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he let out a sigh. Zhang Bucai likes to guide juniors, and his natural humor is deeply respected by the disciples in the sect.
"I don't know what Elder Zhang has entrusted Brother Ye with?" Li Geng asked.
Ye Xun took out the jade pendant and brought it to Li Geng, and said, "Senior Zhang Bucai entrusted me to hand over this jade pendant to Brother Li." After speaking, he handed the jade pendant to Li Geng.
Li Geng's expression moved slightly after seeing the jade pendant, and he took the jade pendant and wiped it gently.
"I didn't expect Elder Zhang to really find this thing. Li Geng muttered to himself.
Then he bowed his hand to Ye Xun again and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye, this jade pendant has a great effect on my Penglai faction." ”
Ye Xun said, "Brother Li Geng is serious, and Ye also has something to ask for." Saying that, Ye Xun told Li Geng about the problem of his internal force.
"I also asked Brother Li Geng to tell me the solution. Ye Xun said.
Li Geng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, he smiled and said, "The Penglai faction doesn't have this kind of secret method, it must be that Elder Zhang made a joke with Brother Ye." ”
Ye Xun didn't look like Li Geng was cheating, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart. This Zhang Bucai is really an old naughty boy, and he doesn't forget to joke with himself after he dies soon.
After being depressed for a while, Ye Xun asked again, "I don't know what the effect of this jade pendant is, can Brother Li Geng tell me." ”
Ye Xun was afraid that Li Geng would be suspicious, so he continued, "Just last night, a black-robed man attacked Ye, and his purpose was for this jade pendant. If it weren't for the Bai family's Bai Yuxuan's son's help, Ye would have died. ”
"Oh?" Li Geng's face changed after hearing this, and he couldn't help asking, "Is that what Brother Ye said?"
Ye Xun nodded and said, "It's true, Li Gengke heard about what happened in Tianxianglou a few days ago?"
Li Geng shook his head and said, "I just came to the county town last night, and I asked Brother Ye to tell me." ”
Subsequently, Ye Xun told Li Geng about Zhou Wei, especially emphasizing that Zhou Wei was very likely to have an ancient jade that was the same as the jade pendant.
"And this kind of thing?" Li Geng said in surprise.
"I also asked Brother Li Geng to tell me that Ye didn't want to be a fool. Ye Xun said.
Li Geng pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, since Brother Ye was attacked because of this jade pendant, Li Geng can't hide it from Brother Ye anymore." ”
"Our Penglai faction has an ancient tomb in which many Penglai ancestors are buried, and there are many treasures among them. ”
"In order to prevent outsiders from entering the ancient tomb, the Penglai faction at that time created seven jade pendants as the key to open the ancient tomb. These seven ancient jades are known as the Seven Star Jade. ”
"Three years ago, the disciples of the Penglai faction guarding Gu Yu were assassinated by outsiders, and five of the seven Gu Yu were exiled in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Penglai faction sent a number of elders to the Central Plains to find the ancient jade. ”
"It didn't take long for there to be a rumor in the Central Plains that if you collect all the Seven Star Jade, you can open the Penglai Immortal Tomb. ”
"Elder Zhang Bucai sent me a flying pigeon herald a month ago, informing me to go to the county seat of Zhou to meet him, saying that there was something important to discuss. Unexpectedly, the important thing he said turned out to be this ancient jade. Li Geng said.
"I wonder how much ancient jade your sect has recovered?" Ye Xun asked.
Li Geng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm ashamed to say that this piece of ancient jade that Elder Zhang Bucai found was the first piece we found in the past three years. ”
Ye Xun said in his heart: "In this way, the black-robed man has at least a piece of ancient jade in his hand, and I also have a piece in my hand." "He wouldn't give another piece of ancient jade to Li Geng, he bought it for a thousand taels. He's not a bad guy, and he has to give away the things he buys with his money.
"Thank you Brother Ye for this, I will let someone take a hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift to Brother Ye. Please Brother Ye don't shirk. Li Geng said.
When Ye Xun heard that there was still a thank you, how could he refuse, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Li is polite." ”
Li Geng waved his hand, and then he called the old man from before, "Uncle Liu, go to the treasury and get a hundred taels of silver." ”
The old man nodded and walked out of the courtyard.
Ye Xun looked at the old man's back and asked with some curiosity: "I heard this old man call Brother Li the young master before?"
Li Geng smiled lightly, "Uncle Liu is a trusted servant beside my father, and it's not wrong to call me a young master." ”
"Ling Zun?" Ye Xun asked curiously.
"My father is the head of Penglai. Li Geng said: "This rice shop is a liaison place for me in Penglai, if Brother Ye has any trouble in the future, you can come here to inform me." ”
After a while, the old man returned to the courtyard again, he already had an extra silver ticket in his hand, Li Geng took the silver ticket and handed it to Ye Xun.
Ye Xun took the silver ticket and put it in his arms, and the hundred taels of silver were enough for him to spend for a while.
Ye took his leave. Ye Xun arched his hand and said.
"Brother Ye is good to go, but he won't send it away. Li Geng said with a smile.
Leaving the rice shop, Ye Xun went straight to Tianxiang Building. Last night, he and Bai Yuxuan agreed to meet there.
Coming to Tianxiang Building, Ye Xun walked straight to the second floor. There weren't many diners on the entire second floor, and a white figure was sitting in a private seat by a window, looking out the window.
Ye Xun smiled slightly, quickened his pace and walked over.
The white figure turned his head when he heard the footsteps, it was Bai Yuxuan.
"You're here. Bai Yuxuan said, "The matter of internal force has been dealt with?"
Ye Xun sat down on the seat opposite Bai Yuxuan and said depressedly: "I was deceived by that Zhang Bucai." Immediately, Ye Xun told Bai Yuxuan what Li Geng had told him.
Bai Yuxuan couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this: "That senior Zhang is really an old naughty boy. ”
Ye Xun muttered, "If I had known that he was lying to me, I wouldn't have come to Zhou Jun." ”
"Alright, stop complaining. Bai Yuxuan said: "Have you clarified the matter of Yu Pei?"
Ye Xun poured himself a cup of tea, "I have found out clearly, that ancient jade is called Seven Star Jade." Saying that, Ye Xun drank the tea.
"This ancient jade is the Seven Star Jade?" Bai Yuxuan said with some surprise.
"You know?" Ye Xun was also a little surprised.
"Of course, don't you know the rumors of the Penglai Immortal Tomb?" Bai Yuxuan said, "The gate party has heard of this rumor, and some scattered masters also know a little about it. ”
"Where do I know what Penglai Immortal Tomb is. Ye Xun scratched his head and said.
Bai Yuxuan said: "About three years ago, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that people who collected the Seven Star Jade could open the Penglai Immortal Tomb and get the method of becoming an immortal with martial arts. ”
Ye Xun smiled and said, "What about the Immortal Tomb, that is the ancient tomb of the ancestors of the Penglai faction." ”
Bai Yuxuan asked curiously, "Did the Penglai disciple tell you?"
Ye Xun nodded, and then told Bai Yuxuan about his conversation with Li Geng.
"Before, you said that many major sects know about the rumors about the Penglai Immortal Tomb, so could this black-robed person be someone from a certain major sect?" Ye Xun asked.
Bai Yuxuan frowned and said, "It's not quite like that, the martial arts moves of the black-robed man are very strange, like a scattered martial artist." ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Yuxuan thought of something, and she said again, "There is another possibility...... Ye Xun, have you ever heard of a ghost cave?"
"The ghost cave, the demon sect?" Ye Xun exclaimed, "You mean that the black-robed man is very likely to be a person from the ghost cave?"
"I'm just guessing, the people who will be interested in the Seven Star Jade are either some big forces or some super-first-class scattered masters. Bai Yuxuan said: "And although the martial arts of the black-robed man are weird, they are obviously not a super-first-class martial artist. ”
In other words, there is a force behind him. Now it seems that there is a good chance that that force will be a ghost cave. Bai Yuxuan's guess was very accurate.
"Those guys aren't a good thing. Ye Xun said. He didn't want to get involved with the people in the cave.
"Otherwise, let's not get involved in this matter, anyway, I also told Li Geng about the black-robed man, so let Penglai send it to deal with him." Ye Xun said.
Bai Yuxuan glanced at him and said, "Those who practice martial arts must defend the Tao with their bodies, and you have practiced martial arts to the belly of a dog." ”
Ye Xun said helplessly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I just came to send a jade, but it turned out to be fishy." ”
Bai Yuxuan's pretty eyes were horizontal, and she didn't say anything and just looked at Ye Xun like this.
After about a cup of tea, Ye Xun couldn't stand it anymore, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm really afraid of you." Am I still not able to defend the way? ”
Ye Xun was very depressed in his heart, since he met Bai Yuxuan, he didn't meddle in his affairs.
