Chapter 44: The Secret Talk in the Thatched Cottage (Part 2)
Wang Chen smiled calmly and looked at Fatty Zhou with a calm look. Fatty Zhou finally couldn't help but feel the huge psychological pressure. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the young master does have an inverted triangle eye in his palm."
The whole hall was shocked when he said something. Although this was a well-known question and an expected answer, at this moment, the faction of the person involved confirmed this from the sect of the person involved was still a little surprised.
These days, whether it is Chu Xunyu, watching the moon, or even looking at the dust, they are looking for clues in this area. However, the world is so big that looking for an inverted triangle eye pattern or an ordinary palace lantern is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. The possibility is small, so I have to rely on the mysterious and mysterious words of the way of heaven. Fortunately, after becoming the Nascent Soul, the years of life can be said to be endless, and you can slowly and carefully find clues in the long journey of life.
Especially Chu Xunyu, it has been several years since he came out of the two poles. Over the years, he has been exploring the world. After so many years, he has had many hopes and disappointments, but so what? He can only collect a little bit of information. The sarcastic man in black has never appeared. The mysterious black lamp mentioned before Xiao Xiao only met in Chenzhou and did not know whereabouts. The clues he got were really rare.
The real news in reality is probably tonight that appears by my side. Holding back a burst of ecstasy in my heart, Chu Xunyu asked calmly and hard: "Senior Zhou, can you tell me in detail?"
Fatty Zhou, carrying the huge pressure in Wang Chenping's eyes, barely spoke: "I'm not very clear about it. When I arrived, there were already many people in the secret room. I can only say what I saw. The young master was lying in a piece of dry blood. His right hand was tightly held. After it was broken open, it was an inverted triangle eye pattern drawn by the young master dipped in his own blood during his lifetime."
"That's it?" Chu Xunyu asked in surprise: "There is no other news?"
"No more, I've seen nothing." Fatty Zhou shook his head, "The rest are the top secrets in my sect, and I can't reveal them." This sentence with a hint of determination, as if he was hinting to Wangchen that even if you take action and both jade and stones are burned, I will never reveal anything.
Such clues are worthless, and everyone fell into silence. Chu Xunyu lowered his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly asked, "So what seniors saw, can you tell us?"
Fatty Zhou was surprised: "I just saw so many."
Chu Xunyu shook his head: "I want to ask, why did Tan Meng go into seclusion?"
"Oh, this." Fatty Zhou thought he was asking what he was going to ask. This question was not a secret, so he replied with a smile: "Because the young master is preparing to break through the Nascent Soul Stage and be promoted to the out-of-body stage." Speaking of this, there was a hint of pride on his face.
Generally speaking, cultivators in the world go into seclusion just to refine treasures or practice some exercises. When they reach a critical moment, they need to find a secret place without disturbing them to calm down. This is well known to everyone in the world, so there is no hiddenness.
Hearing this, Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan were both shocked. Mu Yuan sighed: "If you want to talk about talent, among the eight of us, Tan Meng's talent was only inferior to that person, but only Tan Meng's dream is not related to cause and effect. Therefore, in terms of practice, he really made us ashamed."
Chu Xunyu was also secretly shocked to talk about Meng's talent, but now it is not the time to sigh, so he continued to ask: "The senior was before and after Meng's retreat, but what are the abnormal phenomena in the current sect? Anything that can be related to this matter is OK."
Fatty Zhou tilted his head and thought about it carefully for a long time, but finally gave up: "No, they are all normal mundane affairs, without any abnormality."
After saying this, he fell into silence again. Chu Xunyu seemed unwilling to give up and asked again: "Is it possible that fellow Taoist Tan Meng himself has no abnormalities?"
Fatty Zhou shook his head as usual. At this time, he suddenly remembered something and said, "If the only thing that is different from usual is that the young master entered the secret room and said that after he came out, he would go to Jiangnan to visit his two old friends, and said that there was something important."
"What?" Everyone was surprised.
Fatty Zhou also smiled self-deprecatingly: "The young master has been weak and sick since he was a child, rarely goes out, and has fewer friends. It is rare to find any friends to go to Jiangnan."
Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan both looked at each other, as if they had thought of something. Chu Xunyu seemed to be unable to ask anything. Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was dawn, so he stood up and said goodbye. Fatty Zhou nodded and sent everyone out. Before leaving, Chu Xunyu suddenly remembered the farmers and asked, "How do you deal with their mortals?"
Fatty Zhou smiled relaxedly: "Don't worry, now is an extraordinary period. Although we are the devil, we have no intention of killing at this time. As my identity, we will not make things difficult for the mortals. We will send them back to our hometown and get rid of our memories."
Chu Xunyu nodded, then turned around and left with a bell tone.
When Chu Xunyu and his group gradually disappeared, Fatty Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and finally got rid of the unfathomable Wangchen. At this time, the old man in the Nascent Soul stage next to him asked: "Senior Brother Zhou, should you send someone to follow them?"
Fatty Zhou gave him a blank look: "Nonsense, there is a person who has a cultivation level that I can't see through. Who do you send to follow me? You'll cause trouble."
The old man knew that his words were wrong and stopped talking, but Fatty Zhou sighed again: "No matter what, this matter must be returned to the master and handled by them, especially paying attention to the young man carrying a long sword and checking his origin."
"Why? It should be Mu Yuan from the Tianjie Temple, right? He is the person he knows with the young master." Another old man next to him asked in confusion.
"Do you think I can't see it? Mu Yuan is just a cover. The young man with a long sword has an excessive enthusiasm for this matter, and it can't be hidden from my eyes." Fatty Zhou smiled contemptuously on the corner of his mouth.
After walking on the mountain road for a long time and confirming that there was no one behind him, Chu Xunyu asked, "What do you think?"
While walking, Mu Yuan looked at the trees beside him, and his serious expression appeared on his face again: "I can only be sure of what happened to fellow Taoist Tan Meng, but he was killed."
When Shang Qian heard this, she finally couldn't help it and asked, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Isn't that just going to visit friends? How could it have something to do with this matter?"
Everyone chuckled at the same time, and Shang Qian's little face turned red. At this time, Mei Wan frowned and interrupted: "Don't laugh anymore, explain what's wrong? Don't talk about Sister Shang Qian, even I have only a slight understanding. After all, we are the first time we are here in the world." Shang Qian looked at Mei Wan gratefully, and it seemed that this lady from the Demon Sect was still a bit human.
The eldest lady said that, so everyone naturally did not dare to joke anymore. Guan Yue had to tell the reason: "Although this young master Tan Meng from the Lu Meng Sect is talented and talented, he is born with weak body. It is said that he suffers from a natural terminal illness and cannot be cured. He has someone to protect him wherever he goes."
Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Xunyu, who nodded and proved that Guan Yue was right: "It is true. When I was very young, the people from the Lumeng Sect once brought Tan Meng to my Yaowang Mansion for medical treatment. I heard from my family that it seemed to be a disease of 'deficient meridians'. I was born to be unable to travel far and my body was overwhelmed."
"Yes," Guan Yue shook his fan, "Because of this, Tan Meng rarely goes out, and is strictly protected by the Lu Meng Sect. Where did he come from the Jiangnan friend? As far as I know, he went out in total three times during his lifetime, two of which were protected and accompanied throughout the whole process. Only once did he have the opportunity to make friends." Speaking of this, he looked at Mu Yuan again.
Mu Yuan sighed sadly: "It was at the Yuxu Palace Sword Conference a few years ago that we could have time and opportunities to make friends. We hit it off at the time of seeing each other. I was not in Jinling and was still in Tiantai Temple in Zhejiang. Although he was a man of the devil, he was not well-informed and had no evil thoughts. He promised that he would come to Jiangnan to play with me in his lifetime. Oh, he said he would go to Jiangnan to see his old friend. I guess he must have found some news. After he was about to come out of seclusion, he wanted to come to Jiangnan to remind me, but he didn't expect that he would be injured before that day."
"No." Shang Qian asked strangely: "Didn't you say you want to visit two old friends? Who is the other person?"
Mu Yuan was slightly stunned and said to herself, "Yes, who is the other person?"
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, and Chu Xunyu suddenly laughed and said, "I understand."
"oh?"
Chu Xunyu asked with a smile: "How did Mu Yuan forget the opponent of fellow Taoist Tan Meng back then?"
"Is it her?" Mu Yuan was suddenly shocked and then said wonderingly: "She is from Shushan, not Jiangnan."
Chu Xun smiled complacently: "No, she was originally a descendant of famous schools of thought in the world. Because she loved sword cultivators, she was sent to Shushan to practice since she was a child. Therefore, this person is the leader of the famous school's two sects of Shushan. And the sect of that famous family is in Suzhou and belongs to Jiangnan. What's more, besides you, she is the one who spoke to He Tan Meng alone."
"Who are you talking about?" Shang Qian asked anxiously.
"It was one of the eight masters of the Central Plains that year, a disciple in Shushan Gate, and the only two famous masters who were shortlisted for the quarterfinals as women, Gongsun Yan."
"Huh? Not good!" Mu Yuan said in shock: "Gongsun Yan is in danger. Do you think, if it is really a target against us, I came out of the central China because of my master's punishment, far away from Jiangnan. But what about Gongsun Yan's people? I won't be at home in Suzhou."
"No, she should spend most of her time practicing in Shushan." Chu Xunyu comforted.
But Guan Yue smiled bitterly and said a few words to destroy Mu Yuan's hope: "Since yesterday, fellow Taoist Mu Yuan said it was targeting you eight people, so I immediately contacted my disciples to observe the whereabouts of the other five people. According to the latest news, Gongsun Yan has left Shushan in the past few days and is preparing to go home to visit relatives."
Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan's faces changed. It was really not good. If it was really targeting the eight of them, the men in black might have already killed themselves in Suzhou. Guan Yue saw the two of them and quickly explained: "Don't worry, according to the disciple's reward, she has not left Shushan yet, but will be out soon. It seems that it is because of the wedding of the Yaowang Mansion. After going home to visit relatives, she will go to the Yaowang Mansion to celebrate on behalf of the famous family."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were many masters in the Shushan Gate and they usually did not dare to do anything randomly. Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan could not rely on these false inferences to go to Shushan, stood in front of Gongsun Yan, and said directly that someone was going to kill you. But it seemed that the trip to Jiangnan would probably speed up and they had to quietly meet her in Jiangnan.
At this time, everyone had already walked to the middle of the mountains, and trees appeared one after another in everyone's sight. It was early in the morning, and the dew on the petals was bathing in the first ray of sunshine of the morning.
Looking around, there was a small camp not far away. It seemed that some mortals were stationed here and had already seen smoke curling up. When I got closer, I realized that it was a group of corpses traveling around the world. It was probably on the way to deliver goods. Many corpses in the world were already burying pots to make rice and preparing breakfast.
Mei Wan waved her long sleeves and transformed her figure. She and everyone were ready to walk in a low-key manner. Who knew that suddenly, a burly man with a big knife on his back appeared from the crowd. From a distance, he shook his hand at Chu Xunyu and shouted excitedly: "Hey, brothers of the Chu family, why are you here too?"
