Chapter 22: Into the Tiger's Mouth Again
The night was not long, seeing that the time was about to pass, the ancient mirror sitting in the Mingde Hall could no longer be calm, he looked at Gu Yang and said, "How many times have you searched for it?"
"Back to the Great Elder, it's the fourth time. Gu Yang replied bitterly.
"He definitely didn't escape, but why hasn't he found it yet?" Gu Jing's eyes were full of anxiety, and he said, "Inform me, the search area will be expanded to three miles away, and we must catch him before the time." "If he hadn't found it before, he really wouldn't have known how to deal with the elders of the other factions.
"I also believe that as the Great Elder said, this son has definitely not escaped from my Gulun faction, but he studied under Qi Yansheng, and he must also be good at the art of concealment, and now that it is dark and moonless, it is even more difficult to find, why not send someone to guard the exits first, and then search for it at dawn tomorrow, he naturally has no way to hide. Gu Yang persuaded.
Gu Jing didn't know this truth, but he was angry at the time, so he acquiesced to what the elders of the other factions said, catch Qi Suyu before the morning, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious and depressed, but what else can he do if he doesn't search for it now.
"Hiss" The ancient mirror suddenly thought, and thought about something. waved his hand, called Gu Yang over, and whispered something in his ear, Gu Yang also showed a sad face after hearing it, as if Gu Jing's words were filled with honey, nodded again and again, and retreated with a smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Elder has an order, this is the end of tonight, no search, everyone is tired, rest early, and search again tomorrow morning. Gu Yang instructed the disciples.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and after a while, they dispersed.
"Didn't you say that you were going to find that kid?" Why did you suddenly say you wouldn't search again?" Several Gulun disciples walked to the dormitory tiredly, chatting as they walked.
"I think the Great Elder's order is correct, how can I find it this big night, that person is hiding in any corner or pretending to be a disciple of our Gulun Sect, we can't find it, but as long as it is daytime, that kid will have nowhere to hide. Then he paused, and said, "You don't know, Senior Brother Gu Wei woke up just now, and the Great Elder must be busy taking care of him in the Rejuvenation Pavilion now, where is there any leisure to care about that kid." “
"Also, it's really strange that you said, Senior Brother Gu Wei originally went out with the master, but now he is back, but the head has not returned, and I don't know what happened. “
"We can't care so much, now that Senior Brother Gu Wei has woken up, these problems will be solved after all. “
After they finished speaking, they yawned and went back to bed. But he didn't notice that there was a person attached to the beam of the covered bridge, and he took their conversation into his ears word for word, and this person was Qi Suyu who had been hiding all night.
"It turns out that Gu Yang has been lying to himself, the Gulun sect disciple named Gu Wei who has seen the master has already returned to the door, and after hearing what they said, this Gu Wei seems to be seriously injured, and he only woke up at this time. If it is said that he went out with the head of the Gulun faction, then when he met the master, it must be that the head of the Gulun sect has something to say, and Gu Wei was seriously injured, and the head of the Gulun sect has not returned so far, and the good luck is unpredictable, so what about the master?
In the Rejuvenation Pavilion, Gu Jing sat on the edge of Gu Wei's bed, his face full of tiredness. Since he knew that Gu Wei was injured, Gu Jing had not slept a single night's sleep, even if he had outstanding martial arts and profound internal strength, but after all, he was old, and the head of the sect was missing, and he had to deal with the complicated affairs in the sect, which made him even more exhausted. Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Gu Yang walked in and said, "Great Elder, I have already asked the disciples to go back to bed and rest according to your instructions." ”
"Very good, everyone is tired these days, you should rest early, there is still a lot to do tomorrow. Gu Jing opened his sleepy eyelids and waved to Gu Yang.
"Senior brother, you should also have a good rest, since Wei'er has woken up, you can rest assured, it will always get better and better, here I will send Gu Cun and Gu Feng's nephews to guard, there should be no problem." Gu Yang looked at Gu Jing's yellow and sleepy appearance, and he really couldn't bear it.
"You're right, Wei'er will definitely get better, it's not enough for Gu Cun and Gu Feng to guard them, and they are arranging for the two teachers and nephews to come over. I'll have to go back and make some medicine for internal injuries, hoping that Wei'er will recover sooner. Gu Jing stood up and said to Gu Yang.
"You can rest assured. Gu Yang persuaded him.
"Hmm. Gu Jing nodded and went out.
But after a while, four more people entered from the pavilion door, saw Gu Yang, and bowed in unison: "Meet Uncle Shi." ”
"Well, tonight, the four of you guard the front and back doors of the Rejuvenation Pavilion, you must cheer up and protect the safety of Gu Wei's nephew. Gu Yang glanced at the four of them and ordered.
"Yes, Uncle Shi. The four of them saluted and sent Gu Yang away. These four people are the other two guard disciples arranged by Gu Cun, Gu Feng and Gu Yang, all of whom are three generations of disciples in the sect, and all of them have extraordinary martial arts.
"The two of you guard the front door, and Senior Brother Gu Feng and I guard the back door. Gu Cun said to the other two disciples. The two disciples nodded in agreement and honestly went to the front door. And Gu Cun and Gu Feng walked to the back door.
After half a night of non-stop searching, Gu Cun and Gu Feng were yawning and listless.
"Senior brother, this looks like it's going to be too late, it should be fine, why don't we rest?"
"I also have this intention, the Great Elder is too partial to his precious grandson, and the four of us have to guard him, I am also considered to have a head and face in the sect, but now let us be a gatekeeper. Gu Cun said dissatisfied.
"I don't bother to care about him, anyway, there are two juniors guarding the front door, even if the great elder comes to check, let's wake up when we hear the movement. Gu Feng echoed. The two of them made up their minds and dozed off on the stone pier outside the door.
Just as their snoring began to rise, a figure floated out of the roof and landed silently. Flying two palms, stunned Gu Cun and Gu Feng, and then cautiously opened the door and flashed in. This figure was none other than Qi Suyu, who knew that Gu Wei was recuperating from his injuries here and had woken up, so he decided to come to investigate, hoping to learn the news of the master from Gu Wei's mouth. After he sneaked into the Rejuvenation Pavilion, sure enough, there was no figure inside, and he was originally worried that there would be an ambush, but it seemed that he was too worried. There was a bed on the east side of the pavilion, and the one lying on it must be Gu Wei, he approached step by step, I don't know why, every time he got closer, his mind became nervous. Until the curtain on the bed was opened, I couldn't help but be shocked, wasn't this the Gulun Sect Great Elder Gu Jing lying there.
Seeing the face of the ancient mirror on the bed, Qi Suyu suddenly realized that he had been fooled, but it was too late.
