Chapter IX Tasks

Ma Mingyu stood still in a pavilion in the depths of the Purple Bamboo Forest, with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on Lin Xuanqing's face, and asked word by word: "Do you know, why didn't I punish you for today's events?"

"I don't know. Lin Xuanqing frowned.

Indeed, although in the ancient sword sect in the past, there were often cases of disciples fighting each other and hurting people, but those injuries were not too serious. And Lin Xuanqing didn't spare Liao Peng, and the injuries caused by the spatial blade were by no means something that could be recovered in a moment. Therefore, Ma Mingyu's handling of it like this is obviously biased in favor of Lin Xuanqing's side.

"In recent years, since Lin Dongfang's disappearance, Chu Huang has become more and more unscrupulous......" Ma Mingyu muttered softly, as if talking to himself, as if he was talking to Lin Xuanqing.

Lin Xuanqing's heart shook wildly.

After many years, he finally heard the name "Lin Dongfang" again. The former Lin Cave Master, the strongest person in the entire Ancient Sword Sect, was the amiable old man in his memory. Just a name made Lin Xuanqing's state of mind no longer calm, and his eyes instantly moistened.

"Does the head of the sect want to use my hand to suppress the master of Chu Dong?" Lin Xuanqing smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he would actually become Ma Mingyu's pawn to suppress Chu Huang.

The relationship between the seven cave masters of the Ancient Sword Gate and the head of the sect has always been delicate. When Lin Dongfang was still there, because he had a very good personal relationship with Ma Mingyu, the other cave masters naturally didn't dare to have any evil thoughts. It's just that with the disappearance of Lin Dongfang, several major cave masters led by Chu Huang lost their suppression and began to move.

Ma Mingyu wanted to ensure that he was the head of the house, but he didn't want to cause infighting and publicly turned his face with Chu Huang, so he really took a lot of thought.

"You're a smart man, just a little bit. Ma Mingyu lightly twisted his beard and exclaimed, "It seems that you are the only one who can handle the next task." ”

"Task, what task?" Lin Xuanqing was stunned.

Wouldn't it? I have just been promoted to an elite disciple, and I haven't received a waist card and a spiritual weapon yet, so I have to immediately carry out some Laoshzi task, and the wishful thinking of this head is really loud!

"Haha, seeing your reluctant expression, you don't seem to want to take on this task much?" Ma Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he joked with a smile, "Okay, I'll assign this task to someone else." Anyway, I only got the news by chance, and it's hard to say whether Lin Dongfang is really alive or not......"

"What, this mission is related to the Lin Cave Master?" Lin Xuanqing was startled and exclaimed.

Ma Mingyu had an expression of "I'm sure of you", and said with a smile: "What, don't you kid plan to shirk?"

"Since it is the head of the sect who approves the disciple to carry it out, the disciple will do his best and complete it. Lin Xuanqing hurriedly patted his chest and promised. To have Lin Dongfang's news is tantamount to a gospel for him. Regarding Lin Dongfang's disappearance, he has countless mysteries in his heart, which have plagued him for ten years, and every time he thinks about it, he is miserable.

"You don't have to pretend to be loyal in front of me. You kid, but I've watched you grow up since I was a child, and you're just a little bit of ......a fancy," Ma Mingyu shook his head and sighed.

"Hehe," Lin Xuanqing immediately didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "The head of the family is wise." You are in such a hurry to arrange for your disciples to carry out the task, I'm afraid that in addition to this matter being related to the Lin Cave Master, another purpose is also to let the disciples go out to avoid the limelight for a while, so as not to be retaliated by the Chu Cave Master, right?"

"You understand the old man's good intentions, and my efforts have not been in vain. In fact, there are many puzzling things about the source of the news about the forest cave master. I was going to send Mengge to search for it alone, but I didn't expect you to be a blockbuster, and given the special relationship between you and the Lin Cave Lord, it would naturally be better for the two of you to investigate together. Ma Mingyu said earnestly.

"Senior Sister Qin Mengge left this time to investigate this matter?" Lin Xuanqing said in surprise.

"Not bad. So you have to go and meet her as soon as possible. In this jade slip, there is all the content of this news, you take it and take a closer look and leave as soon as possible. Also, in view of the unpredictable luck and danger that you may encounter, I grant you permission to enter the Ancient Treasure Pavilion and choose a handy spiritual weapon. Okay, I won't say anything else, you leave as soon as possible, and don't disappoint the boss. After speaking, Ma Mingyu waved his sleeves, rolled up a whirlwind, his body swayed upward, fell on the giant sword suspended in mid-air, and galloped towards the highest peak of Cangjie Mountain.

Lin Xuanqing held the jade slip from Ma Mingyu in his hand, separated a wisp of divine sense, probed into the jade slip, and quickly swept the contents inside, and couldn't help frowning.

In the jade slip, the information that can be provided is extremely simple, just saying that Lin Dongfang has left some incense in the secular world, because these descendants of his are mediocre in qualifications, even if they step into the immortal cultivation realm, they will not have much achievement, so they have not been introduced to the ancient sword sect. However, Lin Dongfang is a nostalgic person, so every few years or more than ten years, he will enter the secular world and take care of these descendants.

Lin Dongfang's disappearance back then is said to have gone to the secular world and never came back. So guess if you can find some clues from these descendants of him......

That's all there is to it.

Lin Xuanqing's mouth was bitter, but he didn't expect that the only clues were mostly speculations and associations, and there was no empirical evidence. Gradually, his eyes became firm, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 possibility, he must not give up, the truth of the year was like a veil, a fog, he just wanted to pierce this veil fog and investigate the matter clearly.

"However, before going to the Ancient Treasure Pavilion, it's time to meet Luo Qingmei......" Lin Xuanqing's eyes flashed, put the jade slip into the storage bag, turned around and walked quickly away from the purple bamboo forest, and walked in the direction of the Yuheng Cave.

......

The news of Lin Xuanqing's victory over Liao Peng was like a hurricane, sweeping through every corner of the Ancient Sword Sect, so that in less than an hour, almost everyone in the blue-robed disciples knew about it. Lin Xuanqing walked all the way, and everyone he met was respectful to him, even those disciples who were above the sixth level of the Cloud Qi Jue were no longer arrogant before, and instead nodded at him.

Lin Xuanqing didn't care about the change in the attitude of these people, he just wanted to leave Cangjie Mountain as soon as possible and go to the secular world to carry out a mission.

Just approaching the redwood forest near Yuheng Cave, there was a cry of cranes and apes in the distance, and some miscellaneous servants were feeding all kinds of birds and beasts.

Chen Qingyun, the owner of Yuheng Cave, has many habits, such as collecting all kinds of rare treasures, raising demon beasts, etc., it can be said that the entire Yuheng Cave is the most lively place in the Seven Great Caves.

At this moment, Luo Qingmei was holding the soul devouring mouse and watching the two apes wrestle.

The two apes had great origins, and they were called iron gibbons, each of them was tall and powerful, and their black fur was as hard as iron.

They hugged each other, bared their teeth and mouths, and each did not give in.

The handymen around cheered loudly, cheering for the two iron gibbons. Luo Qingmei even smiled backwards and forwards, completely ignoring her image.

"No...... Oh no. ”

A handyman ran over in a panic.

Luo Qingmei said impatiently: "What's wrong? Panic, what kind of system! Where are all the rules I usually teach you?"

The Soul Eater was disturbed to watch the gibbon wrestle, and glared angrily at the handyman, and he was angry.

"This ......," the miscellaneous servant said with a face full of grievances, "It's Senior Sister Luo that you ordered us, as long as we see that Lin Xuanqing is close to the Sequoia Lin Yuheng Cave, I will report to you immediately." ”

"What are you talking about, Lin Xuanqing is here!" Luo Qingmei suddenly screamed, causing a commotion among the miscellaneous servants and countless demon beasts around her.

"Yes, he's coming in the direction of Yuheng Cave. The handyman replied.

"Someone, get my dragon whip quickly. And you, what are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and be on alert, Yuheng Cave has entered a state of first-level alert, and if you hear it, hurry up and set up a formation. Luo Qingmei hurriedly commanded those miscellaneous servants, and everyone scurried around like headless flies.

This Yuheng Cave became a chicken and a dog jumped because of Lin Xuanqing's arrival.

"Hey, Senior Sister Luo, are you so unwelcome to me?" At this moment, a ridicule suddenly came from above Luo Qingmei's head.

Luo Qingmei looked up, but saw Lin Xuanqing sitting on the thick branch of the redwood tree, swinging, the soul devouring rat had jumped into his arms for some time, and was holding a red nut and chewing it with great pleasure.

This traitor......

Luo Qingmei cast a fire-breathing gaze at the Spirit Eater Rat, but was directly ignored by the Spirit Eater Rat......

"Okay, come on, come on, you and I will not be able to do it?" Luo Qingmei took the fire dragon whip from a handyman, and her confidence suddenly soared, and she was eager to try, "I can tell you, even if you can defeat Liao Peng, you may not be my opponent." I'm a master of the seventh layer of the Cloud Qi Technique!"

Lin Xuanqing couldn't cry or laugh, touched his nose and said, "Who told you that I came this time to fight with you?"

"Isn't it?" Luo Qingmei's eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "Aren't you here to avenge the great revenge I wronged you last time?" I admit that I was deceived by Liao Peng at that time, and you were thrown into a dry well and almost died. If it were me, I would have found a chance to get back into this field. ”

"Of course not. Lin Xuanqing chuckled, "That incident was all done by Liao Peng alone, there is a debtor and a debtor, and I, Lin, am not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong." ”

"That'...... Then you ...... here" Luo Qingmei let out a sigh and asked suspiciously.

"I want you to help me identify the treasure. ”

Lin Xuanqing slowly said the purpose of his trip.
