Volume 1 The Wound of Cloud Dreams Chapter 7 The undercurrent is surging
The glimmer of the morning light shines through the stone windows of the courtyard, leaving a mottled afterimage on the ground.
In order to catch up with the morning class, Liu Chen got up early, and the Chengying Pavilion was still asleep at this time. In a familiar place, Liu Chen washed up, and then prepared to wake Liu Chen Cicada up. After walking a few steps, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Liu Chen pushed the door and looked out.
At this time, Wu Jingming's heart was restless, the reason was that last night, another thief entered the Yunmeng Ink Pavilion at night and stole the treasures in it. Moreover, I heard that yesterday, the remnants of the 10,000 Demon Palace actually stole the treasures of the Mo Pavilion alone, and injured Deacon Huang. Stolen twice a day, this kind of thing is undoubtedly a slap in the face for Mo Ge, if there is no response, wouldn't it make all parties laugh.
So Moge began to search the city, vowing to arrest the treasure thieves. For a while, the people in the city were panicked, and many people who were inferior to the Mo Pavilion were forced to allow them to enter and search. And those who are equal, Mo Ge also sent envoys to negotiate, with a momentum of vowing not to give up until the goal is achieved.
The sound of pushing the door sounded, and Liu Chen saw that Uncle Wu was anxiously pacing back and forth, and couldn't help but speak, "Uncle Wu, what's going on?"
Wu Jingming originally wanted to wait for the Liu Chen brothers and sisters to rest and let them leave quickly, so as not to get involved in right and wrong. But I didn't expect that as soon as the day dawned, Huang Zhizhong, the deacon of Moge, led people to lock the door, and the meaning was obvious.
At this time, seeing Liu Chen asking, Wu Jingming had no choice but to tell him, hoping that he could leave as soon as he heard about it. After some statement, Liu Chen understood in his heart and said to Uncle Wu: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, I know Deacon Huang, let me go and see how it is."
When Wu Jingming heard this, he was surprised and a little unbelieving, but it was not easy to refuse. Anyway, he has already reminded him that if Guiyunzhuang is to blame, he can also have a statement.
"In this way, it will be troublesome to the childe",
"Well, I'm tired of Uncle Wu sending someone to wake up the cicada" Liu Chen ignored the doubts in Uncle Wu's eyes, and walked to the front hall after speaking. Walking through the cloister and turning around several courtyards, Liu Chen came to the front hall.
As soon as he entered the front hall, Liu Chen saw that Huang Lao was pacing back and forth, his heart was restless, this matter was over, he had to quickly apply to go to Tianlan, offending so many forces, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in Yunmeng in the future. Fortunately, I just listened to Elder Ye's arrangement, and it was definitely not his intention.
"Huang Lao, we meet again", Liu Chen slowly walked in front of him and greeted him.
"Young Master Liu, I didn't expect that you are from the Liu family", Huang Zhizhong raised his head when he heard the sound and said in surprise.
Although his own family is not welcomed, he has always been a member of the Tianlan Liu family, and Liu Chen cannot ignore the majesty of the Liu family.
After the two sat down, the maid served tea, and chatted with each other, Huang Zhizhong didn't say a word about the intention, Liu Chen saw this, and knew that he wanted to repay yesterday's kindness, so he also took advantage of the trend. Half an hour later, Liu Chen got up and sent Huang Zhizhong out of the door.
Liu Chen was holding a jade plaque in his hand, which was tattooed with the totem of Thousand Machine City. It was given to Liu Chen when Huang Zhizhong was leaving, and he could enjoy preferential treatment in any ink pavilion industry, which was a reward for Liu Chen's life-saving grace.
"Brother", Liu Chan'er opened her hazy sleepy eyes and came behind Liu Chen. "Cicada, let's go back, don't delay on the way", Liu Chen felt that a huge storm was forming in Cloud Dream City.
After bidding farewell to Wu Jingming, the Liu Chen brothers and sisters went to the stables outside the city. Along the way, you can see the children of Moge everywhere, they have serious expressions, interrogating suspicious people.
Fortunately, Liu Chen had the jade plate given by Huang Zhizhong, so he was able to go out of the city smoothly. After obtaining the horses, the two of them quickly rode towards the clouds.
At the same time, in a hidden place in Cloud Dream City, several black-clothed people were hiding here. The dim lights and blue mud-brick walls indicate that this place is a quiet basement.
"I've got it," there was a sudden sound. The voice came from a man in a black felt suit, half-hidden in the dark.
"Lord, the thing has been obtained, just wait until the ink pavilion returns in vain, and then you can get it", the black-clothed girl who was half-kneeling on the ground, her voice was clear and cold.
"Very good, when the time is ripe, the blood sacrifice Yunmeng, activate the Ten Thousand Demon Gu, and then it will be the time for my Ten Thousand Demon Palace to reappear in the world", the tone was extremely arrogant.
When the time came to noon, Huang Zhizhong and his entourage, who said goodbye to Liu Chen, still had no clues under the non-stop search. Huang Zhizhong looked at the spirit plate in his hand, and the pointer on it had stopped turning. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, it was the first time since he was appointed as a deacon of Yunmeng Ink Pavilion that he had offended so many people, but fortunately, everything had passed. Although, the thing was not found, but the follow-up is not something he has to worry about.
"Deacon, are we going to continue the search?" asked a man leaning out from behind him, cautiously.
Knowing his inner thoughts, Gu said, "You take them to eat something, and I'll report the situation to Elder Ye."
"Yes, thank you, deacon," the young man smiled, bowed his hand, and led the Moge children to disperse.
The dark color of the long robe, which has a golden color of the thousand machine city totem, represents the authority of the elders.
"Elder Ye, now that the search has been fruitless, I don't know what to do next, please give me instructions," Huang Zhizhong asked with a bow.
"Your task has been completed, and your application letter has been approved by the Council of Elders, but due to your serious mistake this time, the Council of Elders has decided to remove you from the position of deacon and stay in Tianlan City to wait for the transfer", Ye Guangwen glanced at Huang Zhizhong, revealing a trace of disdain.
Hearing this, Huang Zhizhong couldn't help but turn pale, it seemed that Elder Huang couldn't help him avoid this catastrophe. To say that this Elder Huang has a certain blood relationship with him, he is his elder. He was able to sit on the Yunmeng Deacon, and Elder Huang had the idea of cultivating him and contributed a lot.
Now, everything is in smoke, and without Elder Huang's support, it is difficult to recover under the complex forces of the Mo Pavilion.
Huang Zhizhong, who was disheartened, bowed and withdrew from the main hall.
Ye Guangwen held the teacup in his hand, looked at the sky, and showed a sneer. No matter how it changes, conspiracies and tricks, it will be crushed into powder in the face of absolute forces. This time, in order to deal with the threat of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, on the surface, there was only one person in the Yunmeng Tiangang Realm, and there were two masters of the Tiangang Realm hidden in the secret. One of them is from the Demon Suppression Division, and the other is from the election of the four major families.
But he still had a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and he never understood the purpose of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace to divert the tiger from the mountain and steal the blood jade. To say, this blood jade is not a precious thing, and it was planned to be shipped to Tianlan City with a batch of goods in the near future, and sold at an auction held at the end of the year.
Could it be that there is anything special about this blood jade, Ye Guangwen thought in his heart. It seems that we can only hope that the Demon Suppression Division will find something.
On the other side, the Liu Chen brothers and sisters hurried back to Yuntiandu and walked into Guiyunzhuang. Xiao Si in Qingyi, who had been waiting for a long time, walked quickly to Liu Chen, "Young master, the master asked you to go to see him immediately, there is something important to tell you", "Didn't my father tell me to go", Liu Chan'er asked.
"Miss, the master said that he would let the young master go alone", Xiao Si replied.
Liu Chan'er pouted unhappily, then threw Liu Chen and went to the back kitchen, thinking that she was going to pester the cook to make food.
Liu Chen handed over the horse to Tsing Yi Xiao Si, and went to the study in the side hall alone.
Walking through the corridor, Liu Chen came to the door of the study and slammed the door in. Liu Tianyu was sitting quietly behind his desk, flipping through ancient books.
"Father, I don't know what to do with calling a child", Liu Chen bowed.
Liu Tianyu lightly covered the book, picked up a letter from the table, and handed it to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen took the letter with both hands, and after obtaining his father's permission, he opened the envelope.
It turned out to be a letter from the family, which mentioned that a grand Spring Festival festival would be held in Tianlan City at the end of the year. At the same time, martial arts tournaments will also be held by various ethnic groups. In order to select outstanding children of all ethnic groups, select places for the Tianlan Secret Realm once every four years.
Although Liu Chen was very unfamiliar with the family in Tianlan City, and he had never seen anyone in the family, he had still heard of the Tianlan Secret Realm, which was a major event among the young martial artists in the entire Tianlan Prefecture, and if he stood out, it would have many benefits.
"Chen'er, after the New Year, you will be seventeen, this family competition, your grandfather named you to participate. I can't shirk it, you have to prepare well", Liu Tianyu was a little helpless, and solemnly reminded.
"Father, don't worry, I won't disgrace you." Liu Chen knew that his father actually didn't want to go by himself, but he couldn't refuse what his grandfather said.
