Chapter 17 (12)
dragged a broken leg, limped to the edge of the stone platform, first stretched out his finger and picked at the lid of the box, but only a thin slit around the groove on the top of the box could be seen, and there was no gap in the force. Looking around, he saw that the jade that recorded the big secret was put aside, but Duoduo was too shocked when he first heard it, and put it down casually.
Hu Wei found the cleanest corner of the tattered clothes, tore off the cloth, carefully wrapped the jade, and carried it in his arms. I changed my mind again: "This matter is a court scandal, and Concubine Yun naturally thinks that the fewer people who know, the better." Yes, I replied that I was injured and unconscious at the time, and I didn't know anything, so I only dedicated this jade bi to her, and let her explore the mystery by herself, but fortunately, all the engravings here are Manchu, and I should not be able to understand it. When she manages to figure out what is written, I will know nothing, and she will not bother to kill me. ”
Go to the entrance of the cave and listen intently to make sure there is no sound in it. Xin said: "I am really blessed with a great life, if there is no passage, even if I can return the same way, what have I done now?" Thinking about it, he slowly climbed in, and his right hand was always horizontal in front of him to protect the jade bi.
——————
As early as more than half a month ago, on the second day after Chu Menglin stole the sword and left the sect, the sect leader of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect took his subordinates out to search. However, in the huge Central Plains, looking for someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that person is determined to avoid it?
After many days of failure, and receiving urgent letters from the helmsmen in various places, the sect leader changed his mind, thinking that it was better to wait for the rabbit than to look around like a headless fly. No matter who gets the Remnant Sword, it will definitely cause an uproar on the rivers and lakes, and when the goal is clear, it can be killed and snatched, and it can be regarded as waiting for work. So according to the original plan, some people were left to stick to the main altar, and at the same time led their subordinates to the rudder for reinforcements.
The sect leader personally went out with an astonishing momentum, annihilating the officers and soldiers stationed everywhere in one fell swoop. The dark night was full of concern for Chu Menglin's safety, and in his heart, all the rudder masters added up were not as important as Chu Menglin. Whenever he won a battle, taking advantage of the good mood of the sect leader, he took the opportunity to try to be emotional, and said good things all over the place, so that his lips were about to wear out, but the sect leader always looked indifferent, and no matter how much he mentioned it, he would stop it sternly.
On this day, when he came to Mount Tai, the sect leader divided his subordinates into two teams, led by Jiang Yanchen and Dark Night, from the left and right corners of the mountain, through the East Qingyang Gate, and the West Sujing Gate outflanked the mountain. He was very proud of himself, single-handedly, walked the Zhengyang Gate alone, and drove straight into the mountains.
The dark night is irritable in his heart, and when he does it, it is like killing the god and reincarnating, and the blood flows like rivers in the places he passes, and the grass and stones are destroyed. After his meridians were opened, his martial arts were restored to the same as before, and he redoubled his hard practice every night, and his skills were still better than in the past, and he soon killed all the enemy soldiers in the mountains. Thinking that he still had to return to the sect leader later, it was inevitable that the old things would be brought up again, and the conflict would arise again, and his heart would feel even more depressed. He dismissed his subordinates and walked alone along the mountain road, seeing that it was still early, and wanted to go to the top of the main peak "Jade Emperor Peak" to breathe.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he crossed a mountain and came to the top of Yaoguan in the North Heavenly Gate, he saw a person standing in front with his back to him, wearing a gray robe and holding his hands behind his back.
Dark Night knew that the sect leader had extremely good ears, and it would be impossible to cover it up if he turned around and left at this time, so he had to step forward to ask for peace and report the battle situation. The sect leader nodded again and again when he heard this, and praised: "Okay, you have done a good job, and you deserve to be the right-hand man in my sect." He turned his head to look at the sky and said, "In the past few days, it is not unreasonable for me to think about what Yan Chen said. We led people to intercept in the mountains, and the enemy army knew the tactics well, and it was completely possible to adopt roundabout tactics, and if this road was occupied, then change the way. Couldn't have been more ...... worry."
Dark Night comprehended, and said: "The subordinates immediately went to the border towns to investigate the news, and observed whether there were groups of merchants or strangers with strange appearances. The sect leader patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's a little bit clear, and it really deserves to be the right-hand man of this seat." Remembering Chu Menglin's explanation, the dark night tasted a little: "At best, my subordinates are ...... It's only enough for the left hand. The sect leader said curiously: "Left hand, who is the right hand?" The young master is strong in martial arts and wise in decision-making, and his subordinates will not be able to compare to one ten-thousandth of him if they cultivate for another hundred years. ”
The sect leader wore a heavy mask on his face, and he couldn't see facial fluctuations, and his emotions were only distinguished by his eyes. As soon as Dark Night Death finished saying this, the sect leader's eyes showed anger, and he said: "The left and right hands have said that there have been since ancient times, which means that the two of them are equal and indispensable. Where did you hear this strange statement? Yes, it must be my rebellious girl who is talking nonsense to you, intending to stir up discord among you. It seems that there is one more charge for her crimes. The dark night hurriedly said: "No, no, no, it's all subordinates who are narrow-minded and suspicious, it's not about the young lady, you old man must not misunderstand......"
The sect leader snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to quibble for her, chewing words like this and misinterpreting the meaning of others' words is her strong point." Hmph, she's not a young lady of the Shadow Worship Sect, and this seat doesn't have this daughter!" Dark Night Death looked sneered, and said, "My subordinates should go and find out the news first...... "The sect leader pressed his arm and said, "I'm not busy, since you took the initiative to stir up the topic, I might as well talk to you." Let me ask you first, how do you comment on the fact that you are close to Yan Chen in the teaching?"
Dark Night said in his heart: "The sect leader admires the young master the most, I might as well say a few more good words to him, and then take the opportunity to intercede for Meng Lin, maybe the sect leader will forgive her as soon as he is happy." He said: "The young master has made great contributions, his merits are high, his talents are outstanding, and he is unparalleled ......in the world."
He organized a stomach full of good words, and before he could finish speaking, the sect leader snorted heavily, his eyes shot anger again, and he sneered: "Unparalleled in the world? According to this, even this seat is not on his own?The intention of your words is to remind this seat to abdicate as soon as possible and make way for Xian?" ”
When the sect leader heard this, he laughed and said: "This sentence is well said, there are heroes with real talents and real learning, and there is no need for flattery to fill the table." People in the sect often praise me for 'reviving the Holy Sect, Ze is born by the common people', and I am a group of sycophants and useless people!"
Dark Night said: "There are no subordinates. The sect leader smiled: "Naturally, you don't, otherwise this seat wouldn't value you so much." He led him to see the lonely geese flying in the sky, and then looked at the floating white clouds, and sighed: "You must often feel that this seat is too demanding of its subordinates and is a little unsympathetic. In fact, in this filthy world, villains who deceive the world and steal their names abound, and I despise them, and those people are not worthy of my pretense and pretending to be respectful. For rare good seedlings, it is for another reason. For example, just like the kid Yanchen, his talents are really strong in all aspects, and his martial arts understanding is also a genius, but it's a pity that he is too arrogant, and he always has no one in his eyes, and only you can be friends with him on an equal footing. I have always been accustomed to him when I read his many miraculous achievements, and as a result, he was even more pampered and arrogant, and he didn't even pay attention to this seat. It was last time that although I knew that his proposal was good, I still stopped it strictly, just to suppress his arrogance, which was also for his good. But privately, I still think carefully that as long as my words are true, this seat is not an arbitrary tyrant, and this is the same for any congregation. ”
Hearing him talk about the tolerance of the sect members in his heart, his words were faintly loose, and he seemed to become easy to speak, so he hurriedly seized the opportunity and said, "The sect leader's words and deeds have deep meanings. It turns out that you are strict with Miss, and you are also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, you don't really blame her, how to rescue, there must be a perfect solution......"
The sect leader's tone suddenly changed sharply, and he said coldly: "You don't need to buckle your hat! What this seat values is talent, not meaningless emotion, Meng Lin, a rebel girl, is useless, and the tasks given to her are smashed every time. When learning martial arts, you either try to be lazy, or opportunistic, and when you grow to such a big age, your martial arts are still a mess, just like the unruly footsteps of the streets and alleys, and you will only complain about the eccentricity of this seat all day long. What is the use of keeping such a rebellious woman?"
When Chu Menglin was still young, the sect leader had also put a lot of effort into cultivating her, and when she saw that this daughter "couldn't hold up the wall in the mud", and at the same time found two children with more potential, he gave her up completely and ignored her from then on. Whether you die or live while on a mission, you don't care.
Dark Night said urgently: "Actually, Miss has also made a lot of contributions, but she is not as brilliant as the young master." This mission was not completed, just because the rumors of Soul Breaking Tears are rumors at all, and she should not be blamed, and I am also responsible. Besides, the matter of forming a relationship with the imperial court, my subordinates want to explain to you that it is the ...... of the young master and the Shadowless Villa."
The sect leader said angrily: "Who said that the Broken Soul Tears are a rumor? When this seat heard the mystery, the person who spread the rumor was afraid that he had not yet given birth to ......" Halfway through the words, he seemed to be reluctant to mention it again, and said: "This rebellious girl is too rampant to make trouble, and she has long been unable to deserve it. If you still want to say good things for her, you don't have to bother talking about it! Why are you still here? Go and find out the news!" After that, he turned around and left, and the dark night still wanted to make a final effort, chased a few steps, and shouted: "Sect Master, you listen to me......" The sect leader waved his hand and said coldly: "Excuse me!" The figure gradually faded away.
Dark Night slammed into a hard nail and punched the tree trunk beside him in anger. The trunk was the size of a bowl, and blood oozed from his hands. Then he turned around and ran down the mountain, hoping to roll down the cliff with his head, fall and break his arm and leg, and lie on the bed as a living dead in the future, so as to vent his anger for a while. But after all, his mind did not lose his mind, and he felt that this action was useless, and that he would never bother to do anything in vain.
After descending the mountain, I walked around several towns, but all of them were peaceful. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to Quancheng, he saw a purple cloth strip tied on the bamboo pole near the city gate, tied in a cross knot, pointing forward, looking at its color and fabric, it was clearly the same as the purple clothes that Chu Menglin often wore.
Suspicious of the night, he followed the direction indicated by the strip of cloth, and after a while, he saw a second strip of cloth hanging from a crooked-necked low tree, still wearing the same cross knot as before. I couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and walked all the way, passing through about five markers, and saw a tall wall in front of me, on which was pasted a yellow list notice issued by the imperial court, similar to the notice of the wanted rebel party, but the content was more than that.
The front of the list was so crowded that it was crowded, and it was impossible to read a word clearly when it was blocked a few floors, and from time to time there were "Okay, it's really happy!" and "This is called evil retribution!"
Dark Night lost his temper and shouted: "Get out of the way!" lifted the back collar of a few people on the periphery and threw it to the side, and the people in the front row heard the noise, and they all turned their heads to look at the excitement, and there were naturally some gaps in the middle. Darkness died left and right, relying on his dexterity, a few moved to the front, a few people in the first row wanted to scold, seeing that his momentum was terrifying, they didn't dare to cause this trouble, they all took a few steps back, and separated from him.
He didn't pay attention to the night death, and just looked at the notice. The text clearly states that after careful deployment by the imperial court, Chu Menglin, the demon girl who has done a lot of evil, has been captured, and will be paraded through the streets of the capital in the near future.
The pupils of the dark night constricted, and there was a chill all over his body, and he grabbed a person, grabbed his head and pressed it to the wall, and said in a deep voice: "What is written in the list?
