After the group arrived, under the auspices of Qin Jiang, Zhen Di told the information he had.

"According to the instructions of the eldest brother, I went to the Longquan Stone Forest this morning, and I really found something unusual. That stone forest, it doesn't look any different. But when we went on a tour with that day, it was a little different. For some reason, under a stone forest that was originally closest to the source of the river, there was a small stone forest for no reason. It's strange like this. ”

Zhen Di truthfully stated what he saw in the morning.

"How can this be? Master, is there any connection between this little extra stone forest and the missing girl?

As soon as Zhen Di finished speaking, Qin Jue intercepted the conversation.

A child's intuition is always a terrible existence.

"Why?"

Qin Jiang, who has the chance to win, is not in a hurry to answer Qin Jue's question.

He is still in a happy mood at the moment, and he really wants to find out what is going on in this Qin Jue's little brain?

At the beginning, his master insisted that he should bring Qin Jue with him, saying that it was his own fate.

Although no one knows what this chance is.

And at that time, even if his master was forced, he had to take Qin Jue under his own command, and he really didn't understand what his old man thought.

It's better to take a look at this, what is this Qin Jue's ability to make his master so blue-eyed?

"Master, what do you think, isn't it strange that there is a person missing here, and that stone forest has an extra stone forest for no reason? Xiao Jue didn't mean anything else, but just felt that there was a faint connection in it. ”

Qin Jue answered Qin Jiang's question honestly.

He couldn't imagine the twists and turns in Qin Jiang's heart.

A child's intuition has always been a very terrifying existence in the world.

They have a pair of overly sensitive eyes, but they also have the courage to speak out, and they can always reveal some hidden things in a direct way.

Qin Jiang heard Qin Jue's answer and did not say no.

He just rubbed his fingers over the rim of the teacup and pondered.

Qin Jiang didn't make a sound, and naturally everyone was silent together.

It was Qin Jue, who looked at Qin Jiang silently, thinking that Qin Jiang was angry. Thinking of the screams of that day, my heart palpitated. So, restlessly, he swept his gaze over the crowd. In the end, he set his eyes on Zhen Di, who was closest to him and helped him a lot on weekdays, and asked with his eyes: Uncle Shi, did I say the wrong thing?

Zhen Di naturally didn't know, so he had to shake his head.

"Xiao Jue, go ask the little guy at the inn and borrow some pen and ink. ”

After being silent for a while, Qin Jiang finally spoke.

Of course, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Qinjiang's silence always carries a faint coercion.

"Yes, Master. ”

Qin Jue heard Qin Jiang speak, and the depression in her heart dissipated a little.

So, he quickly received his order and left in a hurry. Soon he took the four treasures of the study and returned to the room.

"Master, I brought back what you wanted. ”

Qin Jue obediently, and can even be said to be flattering, put the four treasures of the study on the table.

After all...

"Well, hard work. ”

Qin Jiang nodded, and didn't say much.

He just stood up silently, spread out the rice paper on the table, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the pen, moistened it, and carefully traced the portraits of the strange man and the missing woman that Mengyu could perceive because of his spiritual connection.

Half an hour has passed, and the picture is gradually emerging.

And a few onlookers also sighed silently in their hearts.

Qin Jiang is worthy of being the candidate chosen by the master, not only is his martial arts good and his cultivation is high, but even he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Temperament, wisdom, strategy, etc. are also first-class talents, and looking at the entire Shenzhou, I am afraid that there are few people who are equal to them.

After Qin Jiang finished the last stroke, his wrist was slightly hooked, and the two paintings were completed immediately.

Qin Jue had never seen his young master paint, and this time it was clearly unforgettable for him.

The men and women in the picture are delicately depicted, and even the patterns on the ornaments they wear are not spared, lifelike, just like real people.

"But do you see the two people in the picture clearly?"

Qin Jiang put down his pen and looked around.

"Yes. ”

Several people replied in unison.

"I have some clue about this incident, but I still need to verify my guess. Tonight, we're going to ...... But understand?"

Qin Jiang made careful arrangements for the operation at night.

"Master, isn't this tantamount to deceiving people?"

Qin Jue is a person who does not know strategy, and no one has ever taught him the art of war and resourcefulness. Faced with Qinjiang's plan, he naturally disagreed, so he raised his own questions.

"Xiao Jue, you have to remember that no matter what you do, as long as you can get the results you want, it doesn't matter what kind of process you go through. What a man should do in this life is to cultivate one's self-cultivation and rule the country and level the world, how can there be such a woman's kindness?"

Qin Jiang knew his plan, and in a sense, there was indeed an element of deception in it.

However, this is also a good lesson for Qin Jue.

In the past, when dealing with things in the sect, Qin Jiang never let Qin Jue participate in it. Qin Jue, like Meng Yu, doesn't know the sinister way of the world, which is normal.

Since this is a downhill experience, it is just right for Qin Jue to take a good look at the helplessness and sadness in this red dust. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

It's also good to experience more things, although it will give Qin Jue enough impact at that time, but once you accept it, it will be a great help to Qin Jue's growth.

“... Yes, Master Xie's teachings. ”

Qin Jue still didn't agree with Qin Jiang's approach in his heart, but he couldn't think of any feasible way, maybe the master was right.

In Qin Jue's impression, Qin Jiang has always been a god-like existence, and it seems that there is no problem in this world that Qin Jiang can't solve. Since my master already has a countermeasure, then do what my master says, it seems that my master has always been right.

"Well, if it goes well, maybe the third watch will be over. But if it doesn't go well, it may be a day and night. Now that there is nothing to do, let's all go back and rest! Recharge your energy and act at night. However, Zhen Di, I still have something to talk to you about, you stay first, and everyone else can disperse. ”

Qin Jiang glanced at this apprentice of his own, and it was obvious that this guy still couldn't quite understand his own approach. And what he just said, I'm afraid it will take him a long time to understand.

However, there is no hurry. If he doesn't understand it, he can only rely on his own slow thinking and experience.

Even Qin Jiang sometimes wonders, Daoying Zhenren forced himself to accept Qin Jue as an apprentice, will there be other unknowable thoughts in it?

For example, after he retires from the position of head, the successor is Qin Jue?

Qin Jiang doesn't know whether such an idea is right or wrong.

Of course, the current self is just thinking about it.

As for whether it is right or not, it can only be tested in the future.

But no matter what, when he becomes the head of the sect, Qin Jue will be older at that time and will serve in the sect.

Not to mention whether Ying Zhenren has such thoughts, it seems to be his duty to be a master to give Qin Jue the ability to settle down in the sect.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiang never felt that there was anything wrong with his education.

After all, reality is often cruel and unemotional. Whether you want it or not, as long as it is the will of heaven, you have no choice, and it is impossible to escape the control of the so-called heavenly way.

So, even the White Lotus is forced to grow one day.

Of course, as for the scale, only people take their own way.

"Yes, the eldest brother should not be tired, so that he can rest. ”

Since Qinjiang has given the order, then compliance is.

The group received Qinjiang's order and all retreated.

By the way, he closed the door and left room for Zhen Di and Qin Jiang to talk alone.

"Hmm. ”

Qin Jiang responded lightly.

After everyone left, Qin Jiang left the desk where Fang had just painted, with a cold expression, with one hand in front of him and the other behind him, Shi Shiran walked to the bed and sat down.

Qinjiang walked extremely slowly with every step, and something seemed to be quietly condensing in the air.

"The third brother is having a hot conversation with the fourth brother?"

Qin Jiang seemed to unintentionally straighten out his wide sleeves, and there was an unsettling aura in his tone, neither salty nor light.

Hearing this, Zhen Di lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Qinjiang. In his heart, he was "giggle~", and even his brows twitched unconsciously.

Could it be that Qin Jiang heard the conversation between himself and his younger brother?

But Fang Cai obviously placed a silent enchantment!

Could it be that now his own enchantment no longer works on Qinjiang?

But could it be that when Qin Jiang was changing clothes, he saw the crowds on the door frame due to the sunlight, which made Qin Jiang misunderstand? Could it be that Qin Jiang didn't know what he and Zhen Zheng were talking about?

Now, it's better not to act rashly, what if you guess wrong?

If you say something you shouldn't say, isn't that a self-confession?

"No, I'm just teaching my brother some truths. Although it is not in the sect now, the rules that should be followed should not be abandoned. I also asked the eldest brother to see that the fourth brother is still young, and forgive the fourth brother's reckless behavior, which disturbed the peace of the eldest brother this morning. Zhen Di is here, and he apologized to the eldest brother on behalf of the fourth brother. ”

Zhen Di settled down, pretended to be nothing, walked three steps away in front of Qinjiang, and respectfully bowed.

"Heh~ Apologies, as the third brother in charge of the Jing Pavilion in the sect, what is the crime?"

Qin Jiang's tone became more and more somber.

Seeing that Zhen Di still looked like he was doing nothing, Qin Jiang couldn't help but secretly discuss in his heart: 'Hmph, it's quite similar!'

As soon as Qin Jiang's words came out, the cold sweat on Zhen Di's back suddenly burst out, and the hands hidden in the sleeve robe subconsciously tightened and clenched into fists.

Suffered!

It seems that he really underestimated Qin Jiang's ability, and his own mute enchantment didn't work on Qin Jiang at all!

It turns out that everything he said outside just now, didn't Qin Jiang already know everything?

Isn't it ridiculous that the pretexts that I have just said so cleverly are still there?

Since he was weakly crowned, he was clearly appointed by the master to take charge of the scripture pavilion in the sect.

There are nine floors in the scripture pavilion, except for the five floors from the bottom to the top that can be used by the disciples of the sect to consult and study, the remaining four floors are where the secrets of the sect lie.

The secrets stored in those four layers are not available to ordinary disciples in the sect. Only Master, Uncle, and the four of them have permission to refer to it.

And about Qinjiang's life experience, it was also seen in the secret library when he first entered the Jing Pavilion, and he accidentally saw it in the identity list recorded by the disciples of the relevant sects in the secret library, although he originally had no intention of wanting to know.

However, the identity list recorded by the disciples of the sect is only available to Master, Uncle, and Qin Jiang, and it was a surprise to see it.

I just said it because I felt a headache for my ignorant brother.

Unexpectedly, Qinjiang actually knew!

It is a felony to overstep your authority to refer to the secrets of this faction!

It is also a crime to inform those who have not yet completed the secret information!

"Also, if my eldest brother remembers correctly, our four brothers are like conjoined babies in the sect, and we have never been alone. Even if the master and uncle are called, everyone is also present. No matter how bad it is, there are more than two people present. But why doesn't the eldest brother remember when Uncle Shi became so nosy and publicized his life story everywhere?"

Qinjiang struck while the iron was hot, and his words seemed to be river water with some ice chips, which seemed soft, but it implied a sharp edge.

"Big brother, please forgive Zhen Di for the crime of disrespect. It was indeed not said by Uncle Shi, but I accidentally saw it in the secret library of the Jing Pavilion. I just felt that Uncle Shi was quite prestigious in the minds of the disciples of the sect, so I made such an excuse. Zhen Di knows that this is a taboo in his family, Zhen Di does not expect the eldest brother to forgive Zhen Di's mistakes, and hopes that the eldest brother will not embarrass the fourth brother. ”

Zhen Di knelt in front of Qin Jiang all of a sudden, without raising his head, and admitted his mistake. As the person in charge of the Jing Pavilion, he knows the rules of his own door the most, and Zhen Di knows what crime he has committed.

This time, I was...

"Don't embarrass the fourth brother, can the eldest brother understand that Zhen Di, you can be embarrassed at will?"

Qin Jiang spoke unhurriedly, as if a blunt knife was cutting meat, and there was a faint coldness in his tone.

“... As long as the eldest brother doesn't embarrass the fourth brother, Zhen Di will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up!"

Zhen Di raised his head and promised Qin Jiang with a sincere gaze.

This is Zhen Di's true words.

Qin Jiang, who got Zhen Di's promise, stood up, came to Zhen Di, and stretched out a hand to lead Zhen Di to get up.

“... Get up. ”

At this time, Qin Jiang seemed to have faded away from the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, and his tone softened a lot, as if everything was an illusion in Fang Cai.

Zhen Di took a closer look at Qinjiang's appearance and felt that it was not a joke, so he got up under Qinjiang's guidance.

“... In fact, as cultivators, from the moment our brothers stepped into the Jingting School, we were destined to break with everything that had happened to us. Since then, he has devoted himself to cultivation. I have long forgotten the past, at this time I was only the eldest disciple of the Jingting faction, just a personal disciple under the seat of Daoying Zhenren, not anyone else. Therefore, the eldest brother never thinks that the matter of his life is a secret worth keeping. However, Zhen Di, as the deacon in charge of the Jing Pavilion and as the third senior brother in the entire sect, you should set an example and do things according to the requirements of the sect, how can you act so freely? Even if it is for your own selfishness! Zhen Di, the eldest brother wants you to understand one thing, this person is under the roof and has to bow his head. A lot of things... Hey, in that case, this matter should be regarded as a secret between us, as long as this matter is not allowed to reach the ears of Master and Uncle, I believe that this matter should be much easier to handle. If it is unfortunate that this matter reaches the ears of the master and uncle, although the eldest brother is not capable and cannot share the heavy responsibility of the master and uncle, but thanks to the wrong love of the master and uncle, he can still say a few words in front of them. As the saying goes, brothers work together, and their profits are gold. Our brothers are already in the same spirit, and if something goes wrong, we should bear it together! How can we affect our feelings for such a trivial matter?"

Qin Jiang said very gently, like the breeze gently blowing through the willow trees, soft but with a little helplessness.

"Big Brother~"

Zhen Di didn't know what to say now, and his heart seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and all kinds of flavors were mixed in it, like sweet but not sweet, sour but not sour......

In short, it's hard to put into words.

Zhen Di remembered the unspeakable and obscure thoughts and unspeakable feelings in his heart, and he really felt ashamed.

Obviously, every time my heart is not open enough, I always think about something that I don't have.

In the face of his own willfulness, Qinjiang has always tolerated himself, again and again.

Zhen Di felt that as far as Qinjiang was concerned, he must treat them as his relatives. Otherwise, with Qin Jiang's temperament, he will never tolerate himself and everyone again and again, including Qin Jue.

His eldest brother has such a generous heart and an open mind.

And he pales in comparison.

Suddenly, Zhen Di even thought that he was a little unworthy of standing by Qinjiang's side and becoming his third brother.

If the eldest brother is like this, what more can the husband ask for?

Therefore, it turned into a rather affectionate name.

"Well, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. ”

Qin Jiang patted Zhen Di's shoulder, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Xie forgive. ”

Zhen Di clasped his fists and saluted.

"Well, between us, we don't need this. ”

Qin Jiang stretched out his hand, wrapped Zhen Di's fist, and shook his head slightly.

"Hmm. ”

Zhen Di nodded heavily.

“... Tonight's actions may be a little dangerous, help me keep an eye on Xiao Jue and Zhen Zheng. Now among the few of us, only the two of them have the worst cultivation. In the event of a fight, the two of them are the easiest line of defense to breach. So, keep an eye on them. If something happens, you will take the two of them to withdraw first, and Xiao He and I will break off. ”

Qin Jiang hesitated for a moment, and said with some caution.

"Why is the eldest brother so worried? The cultivation of several of us is not bad, why should we be so cautious?"

Zhen Di was a little puzzled by Qinjiang's aftermath arrangement.

In Zhen Di's impression, it is true to say that he often has some concerns. But Qinjiang is not a timid person, he has always been a very resolute person. Why did you suddenly become such a pedantic mother-in-law?

"Zhen Di, in this incident, as soon as the enemy came, the enemy was in the dark, and we were in the light, so we lost the opportunity. Second, we have never even seen our opponents face to face, and we have never fought each other, so what is the opponent's martial arts? What is the depth of cultivation? I don't know anything about how to act? Third, I hope that if we can surrender without a fight, it will be the best. Got it?"

Qin Jiang explained his original intention for this arrangement.

"It's still the eldest brother who thinks carefully, and Zhen Digan bows down. ”

Zhen Di couldn't help but say goodbye.

"Hmph, flim flamboyance! However, did you teach Xiao Jue the strength of this flam tongue? or did Xiao Jue teach you?"

Qin Jiang raised his eyebrows and urged the narrow road.

"Xiao Jue must have learned from Xiao He, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Zhen Di hurriedly excused himself.

If you have already committed a crime, no one wants to add a sin to it, right?

"Alright, go get some rest. In today's battle, the outcome is unknown. At this time, he is most jealous of impetuousness and should be obscure. ”

Qin Jiang just teased him, which made Zhen Di nervous, so he simply sent Zhen Di away.

"Yes, big brother. ”

Zhen Di saluted respectfully and left.

Looking at Zhen Di's departing back, the corners of Qinjiang's mouth were slightly raised.

'It's just a joke, I'm so nervous, it seems that my intimidation and threat should have achieved the effect!Zhen Di, don't think that you are a little careful, I don't know! It's just that now the enemy is present, I don't want to deal with you......
