Chapter 66: News from Xuancheng
At night, in the main hall of the main peak road, Zhou Shoudao looked at the message that the letter falcon had just sent, and his face was cloudy, and at this time, a few people came to the door of the main hall, and they entered the hall one after another, all of them were important elders of the main peak, and Zhao Ziling was also among them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Ziling came to Zhou Shoudao in a few steps, since the senior brother in charge was still anxious about them so late, something big must have happened.
"Senior brother in charge, what's wrong. Zhao Ziling was the first to speak, and he saw that Zhou Shoudao's expression was not natural.
"Take a look, this is the news that Senior Brother Wang has sent from Xuancheng in the southwest. Zhou Shoudao handed the note in his hand to Zhao Ziling.
Zhao Ziling picked it up and glanced at it, couldn't help but take a step back, his hands kept shaking, his eyes were shining, and he hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, is this true?"
Several elders next to him looked at Zhao Ziling's reaction and knew that the matter was not small, so they quickly read the note as well, and their hearts were shaken.
"Senior Brother of the Unsheathed Peak King personally took the risk to investigate, and only after confirming it did he send a message to the sect, this is what he discovered. Zhou Shoudao picked up a piece of gray hard leather from the sandalwood table next to him and handed it to Zhao Ziling.
Zhao Ziling held it with both hands, touched and sniffed it, nodded, and then handed the things in his hand to the elder beside him.
"It is indeed the old skin shed by the demon snake, and there is still a strong breath left on it, presumably the demon snake has just molted its skin. "Zhao Ziling has seen and heard a lot, and he also has dabbled in these, so he hit the nail on the head.
"This is just a small piece, and I can't tell what level this demon snake is, but at least it should be a low-grade demon snake. Chen Haoming said, the monkey on his shoulder saw the snakeskin, and the gray hair on his body stood up, and he didn't dare to move, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Zhou Shoudao glanced at everyone and said, "I called everyone over to discuss this matter, what to do." ”
"After I get this demon snake, my Qinglan Sect will definitely increase its strength greatly, and it will definitely be able to deal with the Xuan Demon Dao, and maybe I can take this opportunity to dominate the rivers and lakes. ”
"Yes, this is an opportunity not to be missed. ”
Chen Haoming said directly: "Then it doesn't need to be said, directly send someone over to catch the demon snake back, I am willing to participate." He has been thinking about monsters since he heard Yin Baisu talk about demon foxes during the day, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally refuses to let go.
"Senior Brother Chen is right, without further ado, don't let people find out. "Yes. There are a few people who also have the same idea as Chen Haoming.
"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, now is the critical juncture to deal with the Xuan Demon Dao, you can't send too many elders to participate, otherwise it will be easy to be detected by the Xuan Demon Dao and the Heavenly Demon Sect, and they will have to intervene if they can't be safe." Zhao Ziling stopped their impulsive thoughts.
Chen Haoming thought about it and understood, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, do you have any better suggestions for everyone to listen to." ”
Zhou Shoudao also said, "What does Senior Brother Zhao think?"
Zhao Ziling paused and said: "Isn't tomorrow the last day for the disciples to meet the martial arts, and the one who wins will participate in the Jianghu trial, then we can organize the remaining disciples and send two elders to lead the team over, which can not only solve the manpower problem, but also train the junior disciples, and kill multiple birds with one stone." ”
Zhou Shoudao's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Some elders raised a different opinion, "These disciples are not strong enough, they are earth-level monsters, although I have not seen a monster in the past hundred years, the strength of this kind of monster recorded in the classics is profound, and it is not something that a few disciples can solve." ”
Zhao Ziling said with a smile: "Senior disciples, don't worry, you have also seen the strength of these disciples, they are not weak, and the main force is still the elders of the sect, they only play an auxiliary role, and there will be no danger." ”
Zhou Shoudao nodded and said, "I thought the same way before, but the elders who led the team must think carefully, after all, those disciples are the future of my Qinglan Sect, and there is no room for loss." ”
Zhao Ziling thought for a while, and said: "Senior brother in charge, just leave this task of leading the team to me to complete, and I will definitely not disappoint the sect." ”
Zhou Shoudao was shocked in his heart, this matter is still dangerous, and there are many powerful elders in the sect, so he doesn't need to take this risk, so he said: "Senior Brother Zhao, you are the head of the main peak, how can you be in danger, besides, you still need to preside over many tasks in the peak, and you must focus on the overall situation." ”
"Second Senior Brother, this matter is too important, whether it is the safety of the disciples or hunting demon snakes, mistakes are absolutely not allowed, and I don't worry about others going. Zhao Ziling knew the importance of this matter, so he stepped forward.
Chen Haoming said: "I am relieved that Senior Brother Zhao leads the team, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”
Zhou Shoudao saw that he had made up his mind, and at the same time, Zhao Ziling was indeed a good choice, with him, this trip would definitely be much smoother, so he nodded and agreed, and said at the same time: "Senior Brother Ziling, you choose three more elders together, prepare tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you will set off to Xuancheng to meet Senior Brother Wang, and don't make any extraneous branches on the road." ”
"Definitely. Zhao Ziling nodded seriously, then turned around and left the main hall, and then the other elders also left.
Zhou Shoudao stood alone in the empty hall, looking at the four big characters 'Righteous Path Lasting' hanging on the wall in the middle, shook his head, and said to himself: "Why do I always have a feeling of panic recently, is this this thing? If only the senior brother was still here, he can always do these things very well." ”
......
Early the next morning, Lu You and his party had already come to Qingshitai, today is the last day of martial arts, to determine the top ten, and then to conduct the trials of the rivers and lakes.
"Old five, it's the last game, just play your strength, don't have too much pressure. "Chu Xie didn't expect Lu You to be able to get to this point before, and now he is very happy.
"I'll give it my all. Lu You said.
"Fifth Senior Brother, come on. Chu Tian exclaimed with a smile.
"Old Five, I'm optimistic about you. The second senior brother and the senior brother pulled up the banner of victory again.
Lu You nodded to them, walked to the place where the lot was drawn, and prepared for the final lot.
"Your master and brother are so kind to you. Zhou Weiqing stood next to Lu You with a hint of a smile on his face.
"Meeting them is the greatest luck of my life. Lu You said from the bottom of his heart, it was the master who let him get all this and come to this point, and then said: "The biggest luck today is not to draw you, senior brother." ”
Zhou Weiqing laughed and was noncommittal.
The draw ended quickly, Lu You drew the sixth, and soon he knew that his opponent was not Zhou Weiqing, nor Duan Qiu, but Lu Wenfeng, who used illusion to defeat the ghost hand Zhou Kun yesterday, and Qingxia Sifeng was second.
"Senior Brother Lu, your opponent is not easy to deal with, although this Lu Wenfeng is only ranked second among the four phoenixes of Qingxia, but judging from her performance yesterday, she should be the strongest among the four, stronger than his senior sister Lin Shifeng. Zhou Weiqing was not very optimistic about Lu You, he thought that when he only had Lu You's strength, he had no chance to win against Lu Wenfeng, who knew illusion.
Lu You said with a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Zhou, won't I admit defeat if I can't beat me?"
