Qin Muzhi laughed twice more, which finally broke Mu Jingyu's embarrassment, and continued to talk to himself: "Fortunately, the people in Lingxiao Pavilion heard that the spirits from Yaowei Palace came to surround them, and they were afraid that something might go wrong. Fei Ge has already sent a letter to the nearby disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion. I think they must have been waiting in the valley by this time."
Yu Yuanxiu asked in confusion: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?"
The other five people also showed puzzled expressions, waiting for Qin Muzhi to explain clearly.
"Do you still remember the middle-aged man wearing the clothes of my Qin family?" Seeing everyone nodding, Qin Muzhi continued: "He is the disciple sent to escort things in Lingxiao Pavilion this time. We dispersed the people at noon. At that time, we agreed on a route and asked him to wait in the valley with others and take things away in advance to avoid any accidents when meeting the people from Yaowei Palace."
After listening to Qin Muzhi's explanation, everyone suddenly realized. In fact, what the middle-aged man did had already aroused the suspicion of the six people. I just didn't know his specific identity, so I didn't make any assumptions.
Mu Jingyu looked at the knife-cut cliffs on both sides and reminded: "Mr. Qin, I don't know, is it your choice to hand over things in this valley, or is it Lingxiao Pavilion's idea?"
Qin Muzhi understood Mu Jingyu's worries and laughed: "Originally, according to the plan, I was going to deliver the things to Lingxiao Pavilion in person. But now the plan has changed, and I had to change the route and come to this valley to hand over the things."
"As for who is paying attention, of course we decided together! Even though the mountains here are high and steep, it will not arouse suspicion. After all, no one would have thought that we would meet here."
"But..." Even so, Mu Jingyu still felt uneasy.
Qin Muzhi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I've been traveling across nine states for decades, and I'm not completely sure. How could I risk my life so easily?"
Since Qin Muzhidu said it doesn't matter, what can these fledglings say? There is nothing left to be careful about except being careful.
While they were talking, everyone had arrived dozens of miles deep in the valley. At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and it is getting late.
"Hahaha, Mr. Qin has worked hard along the way. Yin has been waiting here for a long time, so he has been looking forward to seeing you!"
Suddenly a burst of hearty laughter came from the mountain. Everyone looked attentively and saw more than a dozen cyan figures, accompanied by loud laughter, jumping down from the cliff of a hundred feet high and landing on the officer who was more than fifty feet in front. On the road.
Qin Muzhi whispered: "The people from Lingxiao Pavilion have arrived. The person who spoke first is Yin Fenghua, the master of Zhenlin Hall in Lingxiao Pavilion."
"Yin Fenghua? I didn't expect him to come." Qin Yunchuan was slightly surprised.
As early as when he was in Jiuhua Mountain, he heard that in the Lingxiao Pavilion, apart from the pavilion master Ling Zhongtian, the four hall masters under him had the highest cultivation level.
As for the master of Zhenlin Hall, Yin Fenghua, although his cultivation is only at the bottom of the four hall masters, his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Xiantian Kaitian. Looking at the entire Kyushu, he can be regarded as the number one person.
Unexpectedly, he would come to pick up the things in person. From this, it can be seen that the things Qin Muzhi escorted must not be ordinary objects.
A middle-aged man standing next to Yin Fenghua raised his hands towards Qin Muzhi and said: "Mr. Qin, since I parted ways with you, I have discovered many traces of the monsters in the Demon Underworld Hall. Fortunately, Hall Master Yin got the news early. , waiting for us not far ahead, so that we can arrive in time to respond."
Mu Jingyu looked intently and found that although the middle-aged man was wearing a blue gown, the look between his eyebrows seemed to have been seen before somewhere. After a moment's thought, he realized that he was a disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion who was pretending to be a disciple of the Qin family and following Qin Muzhi.
Qin Muzhi stopped and replied in a distant voice: "Qin, thank you for your concern. The journey was quite peaceful and I didn't encounter any danger. I hurried down slowly and finally got here safely."
"It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe." Yin Fenghua said: "Since there are some changes on the road, I, Lingxiao Pavilion, won't bother the Qin family master to continue escorting the things. Why don't we just hand the things over to Yin here, so that I can go back and resume my life?" .”
"That's what I meant." Qin Muzhi nodded, reached out to take the cloth bag on his back, and took out the wooden box inside: "It's just that the things have been delivered, and we agreed on the reward..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Mr. Qin. Even though you didn't deliver the things to me, Lingxiao Pavilion, you have fulfilled your request. I, Yin, will never break my promise and ruin the reputation of Lingxiao Pavilion."
Yin Fenghua held his hands slightly, and a disciple behind him had already handed over a heavy cloth bag. After Yin Fenghua weighed it casually a few times, a cloud of purple energy rose up in his palm, and he flew to Qin Muzhi wrapped in a cloth bag.
"There are five thousand taels of gold in it as a reward for the Qin family. You might as well count one or two. If there is any discrepancy in the amount, we can explain it to you face to face."
After Qin Muzhi got it, he threw the wooden box out without opening it as Yin Fenghua said.
"Hall Master Yin is joking. If the dignified Lingxiao Pavilion is playing tricks on this, it will be too unworthy of the name of one of the nine righteous sects."
"Hahaha, the head of the Qin family is indeed a trustworthy person." Yin Fenghua grabbed the wooden box, glanced around, and after seeing that there was no sign that the wooden box had been opened, he stuffed it into his arms.
"Now that the things are in hand, Yin will not be verbose. Let's see you later, right?"
"See you later!" Qin Muzhigong handed over his hand, saying goodbye to the people of Lingxiao Pavilion.
From the beginning to the end, Yin Fenghua never looked at Mu Jingyu and others. I don't know if it was intentional or just disdainful of these six teenagers.
"Leaving now?" Mu Jingyu was a little confused. He didn't expect it at all, but in just a few words, the handover was completed.
Qin Yunchuan laughed and said: "Jingyu, do you think we have to fight with the people from Lingxiao Pavilion to let them take away the things?"
"Little friend Qin is right!" Qin Muzhi said teasingly: "However, if little friend Mu feels itchy and wants to fight with the people of Lingxiao Pavilion, I can call them over for you. Let's continue. One continuation.”
Mu Jingyu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, that's all I said. Mr. Qin, please don't make fun of me."
Shen Mengdie asked: "Mr. Qin, since we have given them the things, can we leave?"
"Let's go, the terrain here is dangerous. It will be difficult if we are really chased by the monsters from the Demon Underworld Palace." Qin Muzhi raised his legs and walked towards the place where Yin Fenghua just left.
This was the first time for the six of them to come to the Tiannan Mountains and they were not familiar with the terrain. Seeing Qin Muzhi leaving, he hurriedly followed him.
Not far away, we saw another valley, splitting from the southwest, forming a herringbone together with the two valleys behind us and in front of us.
Qin Muzhi pointed to the valley and said: "Let's go out along this valley and reach the southern boundary of the Central Divine Continent. It's not far from my Qin family there."
Everyone nodded. Anyway, Yuhu Mountain, where the Sword Forging Valley is located, was nearby. Going out with Qin Muzhi wouldn't be too much of a detour.
Mu Jingyu said: "Then I will follow Mr. Qin and go to Qin's house to make trouble for a day."
"Jingyu...you..." Qin Yunchuan didn't expect that Mu Jingyu would have to stay at Qin's house for a day after escorting Qin Mu. He just wanted to remind him that Bi Yun didn't have much time left.
Mu Jingyu said, "Brother Qin, don't worry, Jingyu knows it well. Besides, the Qin Mansion is not far from the Sword Forging Valley. We won't delay our trip if we stay for a day."
Su Yingying knew that Mu Jingyu must have his own motive for doing this, so she continued: "Senior Brother Qin, since Jingyu said this, he must have considered it, so let's just follow it."
Yu Yuanxiu agreed very much: "Since we left Beihai, we have been traveling all the way, and we haven't had a good meal yet! It's okay to go to the Qin Mansion to rest for a day, then let me show my skills for everyone."
Shen Mengdie pursed her lips and said: "Humph, Brother Yu can't do without eating! I see, when I return to the blue sea and clouds, I will tell your master and let her destroy your cultivation. , concentrate on studying delicious food.”
Yu Yuanxiu trembled in fright, shaking his head like a rattle: "Oh, sister Xiaodie, please spare your life! If you tell the master, she will stamp on my hands and feet!"
Amidst the laughter, the group of seven people turned to this valley and drifted away.
Yin Fenghua led his men and walked for more than ten miles in a row. The valley in front of us suddenly opened up. The originally narrow official road suddenly opened up, forming a circular valley.
After the middle-aged man raised his head and looked around, he hurriedly took a few steps and came to Yin Fenghua's side and said: "Master Yin, in the morning, my subordinates left the Qin family leader and came to report the situation. In the meantime I've been there for several hours, I'm afraid..."
Yin Fenghua slowed down, turned to look at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Jiang Su, are you afraid that Qin Muzhi will take advantage of you to leave and swap things?"
Jiang Su nodded and said, "It's important to be on guard against others. I think we should take a look at things first. If the Qin family master does something trick, we can chase them and stop them."
Yin Fenghua said: "Our Lingxiao Pavilion has been dealing with Qin Muzhi for more than a day or two. I can still trust his Qin family's credibility."
Seeing that Yin Fenghua was unmoved, Jiang Su rolled his eyes and said, "We can trust Qin Muzhi's character, but those young men...hey, my subordinates are a little worried."
"Are you talking about those young men?" Yin Fenghua couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Let's not talk about Na Mu Jingyu. Qin Yunchuan and the other disciples from Jiuhua Mountain are not that kind of people."
It turned out that Yin Fenghua had already guessed the identities of Mu Jingyu and others from Jiang Su. After meeting Qin Muzhi just now, he recognized Mu Jingyu's identity at a glance, and also the identities of Qin Yunchuan, Zhou Yan and others.
Only Yu Yuanxiu, a disciple of Nangong Jingqiu and rarely traveling around Jiuzhou, could not see his true identity.
Jiang Su said in a deep voice: "It turns out that Hall Master Yin has figured out their identities a long time ago. But why did you pretend not to recognize Mu Jingyu just now? You know, Mu Jingyu secretly colluded with the man in black robe. They got involved with Bi Yun from the Yaoning Palace. They are the enemy of our righteous way. Why doesn't the Hall Master take action to capture them and bring them back to Lingxiao Pavilion and hand them over to the Pavilion Master for disposal?"
"Hahaha, Jiang Su, Jiang Su, you are considered a prominent figure in Lingxiao Pavilion, why do you still believe that Mu Jingyu colluded with the man in black robe? Besides, even the head of Jiuhua Mountain protects Mu Jingyu intentionally or unintentionally. Jingyu, I don’t believe he colluded with the man in black robe. Our Lingxiao Pavilion and Jiuhua Mountain have always been on good terms, why don’t we help Jiuhua Mountain and instead believe the man in black robe’s words?”
"But... everything that happened before shows that Mu Jingyu is far from as simple as we thought. According to the subordinates' wishes, it is better to believe that he is there than to believe that he is not. Hall Master Yin should listen to my advice and take a look at things. It's true or false. If Mu Jingyu is with the man in black, obviously he is here to deliver the news, but secretly makes some small moves to persuade Qin Muzhi to steal the news, it will be difficult for you to explain when you return to the pavilion. "
"Okay, okay, since you insist on checking things, I'll let you stop this idea."
Yin Fenghua shook his head helplessly, reached out and took out the wooden box. After tearing off the seal above, a bright light flashed, then quickly dimmed.
The wooden box was covered with a layer of dark golden brocade, and a slender porcelain vase was placed on it. A section of emerald green, like a willow branch, sprouted from the mouth of the vase.
