The next morning, Jiang Jianqiu woke up early. I've been sleeping outside in the open air, and I returned to my bedroom in the Huaishan faction, but I was a little unaccustomed to sleeping. He pushed open the door and walked out stretching, the morning sun shining on his face, making people feel a little itchy.

"Senior Brother Jiang, it's early. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from the courtyard, Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the voice, he found that the second senior brother Han Fu was standing in the courtyard, looking at him from afar.

Jiang Jianqiu was naughty and mischievous when he was in the academy, so he was also reprimanded by the second senior brother, causing him to have a sense of awe for the second senior brother from the bottom of his heart. Now as soon as he went out in the morning, he saw the second senior brother standing in the courtyard, as if he was still waiting for him, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Jiang Jianqiu scratched his head and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Han, why are you standing here in the morning, you can't be waiting for me, right?"

Han Fu looked at Jiang Jianqiu, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Jiang, I am indeed waiting for you, I have something to say to you." ”

Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, Senior Brother Han is a rigid and serious person on weekdays, he rarely talks in private, he always has a straight face, he rarely takes the initiative to talk to people, and he didn't expect to come to chat with him today. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Han, don't you have to go to the rooftop to take the morning class?"

Han Fu walked up to Jiang Jianqiu, nodded and said, "Recently, I have handed over the morning class to Wu Yuelai to bring, he has a calm temperament, and he does his best to do things, I can be regarded as able to steal half a day of leisure." ”

Jiang Jianqiu smiled and said, "Congratulations, senior brother, for finding a helper, in the past few years, the whole Huai Mountain was supported by you alone, which really tired you." ”

Han Fu sighed and said: "I don't know how expensive tea and rice are if I don't belong to the family, in the past, these were all handled by Senior Brother Wan, and I only managed to teach, but now after I took over these things, I found that a small Huaishan faction had so many miscellaneous things, which was really a bit of a headache." ”

When Jiang Jianqiu heard Han Fu mention Senior Brother Wan Qing, he couldn't help but feel inexplicable again in his heart, and his expression darkened. Seeing that his expression was different, Han Fu guessed that he remembered Wan Qing, so he comforted: "You were not in the door a while ago, Senior Brother Wan returned from three years of retreat, and Master and he talked for a long night, and it seems that the two of them have been reconciled as before. Senior Brother Wan also went down the mountain to buy new incense and candles, and rearranged several halls in the door, and now he went to the capital to sweep the tomb, and should return to the door soon. When the time comes, the two of you will talk more, and you will be reconciled as before. ”

Jiang Jianqiu reluctantly smiled and said, "I haven't officially apologized to my senior brother, I hope he can forgive me." ”

Han Fu sighed and said, "The events of the day are complicated, who can tell whether it is right or wrong. Things in the world are often like this, especially when it comes to imperial hegemony, even if it is a brother, they will turn against each other......" As he spoke, Han Fu's eyes suddenly became ethereal, as if he remembered something from the past.

Jiang Jianqiu saw that Han Fu was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking, and he didn't feel a little strange, patted Han Fu's shoulder, and asked softly, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Han Fu was startled, recovered from his dazed state, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the old problem of being distracted has been committed again." It's just a momentary misunderstanding between you and your brother, and there is no knot that is difficult to untie, so you don't have to be too entangled. I'm coming to you this time, and I have another thing to tell you. ”

Jiang Jianqiu was a little strange when he heard it, the second senior brother came over in the morning and was so solemn, what did he want to say to himself?

Han Fu frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about how to use words, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Actually, this matter may be better with Senior Sister Ling, but I didn't expect her to go to Dishui Cliff for retreat as soon as she came back." I think about it, and I can only discuss it with you. Jianqiu, after you came back yesterday, you talked with Master for a long time, do you think there is anything unusual about him?"

Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he carefully recalled the conversation with the master yesterday, and felt that although the master's spirit was a little sluggish, the whole person seemed to be quite healthy.

"No, I think everything is okay with Master, of course, he seems to be a little depressed mentally, but he has been like this since the Chengjing change three years ago. ”

Han Fu sighed and said, "Well, Master has been depressed for the past few years, and the whole person is also a lot more gloomy. I originally thought that after Senior Brother Wan returned to the door this time, his mood would be better, but I didn't expect him to be any better. Moreover, there have been some strange things happening in the apse recently......"

Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the strange thing?"

Han Fu rubbed his hands and frowned, "Do you remember those plane trees around the apse, these plane trees suddenly died overnight a few days ago. I went to check it out, but I couldn't see the reason, the trunks of those trees were shriveled and shiny, as if they had withered for more than ten years, what a strange thing!"

Jiang Jianqiu's heart jumped inexplicably, judging from the scene described by the senior brother, this was very much like the master's desolate realm, but in this Huaishan apse, there was no strong enemy to attack, why did he use the powerful realm supernatural power?

"It's late autumn now, and trees die from time to time, although this is a bit strange, but you don't have to worry too much, senior brother. Jiang Jianqiu hid the apprehension in his heart, and comforted Senior Brother Han with all the time.

Senior Brother Han shook his head and continued: "Even if it dies, how can dozens of trees die together? And not only that, recently several disciples on night duty told me that when they were patrolling at night, they heard someone talking in the apse. ”

Jiang Jianqiu was surprised when he heard this: "Who did the master chat with in the middle of the night, and they didn't go in to take a look?"

Han Fu's brows were furrowed like twisted flowers, and he said in a deep voice: "The gate of the apse is closed at night, and they can't enter. But listening to the voice is the Master talking to someone, but the strange thing is that it is only the Master's own voice. ”

Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart when he heard this, could it be that this apse was really haunted?

At this time, Han Fu's voice sounded on the side again, full of worry: "Senior Brother Jiang, you said that Master he wouldn't be ...... The Dao Heart has collapsed!"

Jiang Jianqiu was taken aback, and then said loudly: "How is it possible! Master is an immortal who has attained the Tao for decades, his mana is all over the world, and he has always adhered to the right path, how can his heart collapse?"

Han Fu hurriedly motioned to Jiang Jianqiu to be quieter, and then said in a low voice: "I'm just guessing, after all, Master is the backbone of the Huaishan Sect, and he must not have any problems!"

"There won't be a problem, absolutely not!" Jiang Jianqiu looked at Han Fu, his eyes full of determination. (To be continued.) )
