I saw that the old woman's hair was gray and sparsely draped on her forehead. A pair of eyes were pale and pale, and most of them were whites. The remaining black eyes were as big as rice grains and were sunk deep in the eye sockets.
Looking down, I don't know when the clothes were worn. They have long been in tatters. After decades of being invaded by the lake water, they have lost their original color and are hanging on the body one by one.
Through the clothes in the middle, it was found that her body was as dry as bones, with only skin and flesh remaining. She must have not eaten rice for a long time in these years. If it weren't for the abundant water spiritual energy here, what everyone would see right now would be a gloomy white skeleton.
Di Nanxun took a deep breath, calmed down, stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "I dare to ask senior, but what the young man said can help Mu Jingyu obtain the Tianxiang Wood, and unlock the three secrets for me. The person who was involved in the mystery more than ten years ago?”
"Senior? Hahaha, senior!" The old woman did not answer Di Nanxun's question. Instead, after hearing the word "senior," her expression became ferocious, and the three iron chains began to shake.
"Di Nanxun, I thought I was only three or four years older than you back then, but I never thought that thirty years later, I could actually hear you call me senior, haha...haha..." The old woman smiled with a few tears. It slipped from the whites of his eyes.
"Or, I haven't seen my appearance for a long time, and my appearance has really changed and become unsightly..." The old woman said, raising her withered palms and stroking her hanging white hair.
"You... are only three or four years older than me!" Di Nanxun was extremely surprised and looked at her carefully again. I never imagined that this dying old woman would be almost the same age as me.
When Mu Jingyu and the other three heard this, they all looked at her carefully with curiosity. But no matter how you look at her, you don't think she looks like a person in her fifties. It seems that he was trapped at the bottom of the lake and had little food and clothing for these years, relying only on water aura to maintain his vitality. Coupled with the difficulty of getting rid of depression, she is now like an old woman.
But when Yu Paopao was different from Di Nanxun and the other three, after looking at her carefully for a few times, Yu Paopao suddenly tightened his eyes, blurted out a scream, pointed at her with trembling fingers and said: "You... you... you are Uncle Suci!"
Yu Paopao's cry not only made Di Nanxun and the others look sideways, but the old woman named Su Ci also couldn't help but pause. After putting down his palm, he tilted his head and looked at Yu Paopao carefully, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I never thought that I, Suci, have been trapped at the bottom of the lake for twenty years, and there are still junior disciples who recognize me! Tell me, who's disciple are you? When did you see me again?"
Yu Paopao first saluted Su Ci solemnly, and then said respectfully: "Reporting to Master, my disciple's name is Yu Paopao. He is a lay disciple of the Emei Sect, and he studied under Master Su Xi of Yuelong Temple. I think back then, the disciple After becoming a disciple, I received guidance from my uncle, so I was able to recognize his true appearance."
"Well, I didn't expect you to be Su Xi's disciple. Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to recognize me, and it's not in vain that I gave you some advice." Su Ci didn't expect that after being trapped at the bottom of the lake for twenty years, he would actually have a younger generation of disciples. Remembering myself, my expression immediately relaxed a lot.
Mu Jingyu whispered from the side: "Sister Yu, where is Master Suci's origin? How could she be trapped at the bottom of the lake by the Emei Sect for twenty years?"
Qin Yunchuan also came around curiously, waiting for Yu Paopao to say something.
Yu Paopao thought for a moment and then said: "Hey, I was still young back then. I had just come to the Emei Sect and had not yet become a disciple of Master. By chance, I got guidance from Master Su Ci. At that time, Master Su Ci was He is the chief disciple of the head master. Because of his extremely high talent and profound cultivation, he and the other twelve Su-zi disciples of the head master are collectively known as Suyun Thirteen Swords. He often travels around the nine states under his master's orders. It made Noda famous."
"It was only twenty years ago that Master Su Ci suddenly disappeared. Even the other twelve members of Su Yun's Thirteen Swords also disappeared in the previous seven or eight years. At that time, there were some speculations among the master's sect. , but they were all forcibly suppressed by the head master. As time goes by, no one will mention it."
Qin Yunchuan nodded and agreed: "I have heard Master Guo Qingshan mention a few words about Suyun's Thirteen Swords. As for why they disappeared, I don't know."
"Then what happened next? Did you Emei disciples never mention it? Did you let the whereabouts of thirteen Emei disciples remain unknown?" Mu Jingyu asked.
Yu Paopao shook his head and said: "I was still young at that time and was forced to practice every day. How could I have the time to care about these things! Besides, even the elders in the sect didn't dare to mention it, let alone us juniors. Tell me."
"Huh, of course they don't dare to mention it. If the entire Emei Sect knew that our Suyun Thirteen Swords were slashed by Wuming Tuni, would she still be able to successfully take the position of leader of the Emei Sect! "
Su Ci's voice was not loud, but the content was like a thunder that exploded in the hearts of several people.
"Uncle Suci, you are...!" Yu Paopao covered his mouth in shock, swallowing the rest of his words alive.
Master Suci rolled her eyes and sneered: "What, you don't believe it? Haha, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe it. My most beloved master would do such a heartless thing. "
In fact, Su Ci was not only a disciple of Sect Master Wu Ming, but she was also raised by her since she was a child and has always been treated as one of her own. Unexpectedly, after completing the mission, Suyun Thirteen Swords including himself would be plotted by the head of Wuming.
"Uncle Suci, what is going on? Can you tell us?" Not only did Yu Paopao forget about looking for Tianxiang Mu for the time being, Lian Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan also recalled the past events. curious.
"What's going on? Hahaha, isn't it because of him, Di Nanxun?" Master Suci suddenly raised her finger and pointed at Di Nanxun.
"Me? The old thief Wuming vowed to take my life. This is true. But...how could it be related to your Suyun Thirteen Swords!" Di Nanmen exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course it's relevant." Master Suci said, "Di Nanxun, haven't you seen that I am the Emei disciple who led the crowd to hunt you down?"
As soon as Su Ci's words came out, Dinan Xun couldn't help but step forward. After taking a closer look, his eyes turned from disbelief to confusion, and finally disbelief. He shouted with trembling fingers: "You... you... it really is you." ! I remembered that the group of Emei disciples who surrounded and killed me were indeed led by you! However, your appearance now is completely different from that of then, so I didn’t recognize it for a while! "
Thinking back to the beginning, in order to escape from them, Di Nanxun often fought with Su Yun's Thirteen Swords, and was especially impressed by Su Ci, the leader. Not just because Su Ci had the highest cultivation level among the thirteen people, which was almost the same as his own. More importantly, Master Suci was about thirty years old at that time, and she was full of feminine charm. Even as an opponent, Di Nanxun would inevitably be a little surprised.
"However, you said that after completing the mission of the old thief Wu Ming, she was secretly cruel to you. Not only did the other twelve people die, but you were imprisoned at the bottom of the lake. Let me make a bold guess. The mission you mentioned, but Are you chasing me?"
"Of course I'm chasing you!" Su Ci gritted her teeth bitterly when she mentioned this old incident: "Just when our senior sisters killed you at the bottom of Yubaisha Lake, they also used soul-suppressing nails to pierce your limbs and the coffin to ensure that you Even if he didn't die, he couldn't escape from the bottom of Baisha Lake, so we returned to Emei to recover."
"But how could we have imagined that Wu Ming would use all kinds of despicable means to assassinate all our senior sisters after she praised us clearly? If I hadn't made her unhappy for some reasons, If you dare to kill someone, you will have already followed in the footsteps of the other senior sisters!"
Mu Jingyu asked: "Master Suci, please allow me to ask you one more question. I wonder what's the reason why the head of Emei City doesn't dare to do anything to you, so why are you imprisoned at the bottom of the lake?"
A cold light flashed in the corner of Su Ci's eyes, and she said with a slight smile: "Humph, is this...you kid, don't ask. If you have a chance in the future, you will naturally understand."
For some reason, Mu Jingyu was suddenly very interested in the reason why Wu Ming did not dare to kill her. Even though Su Ci coldly refused, he still couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of it.
Din Nanxun finally got some clues, so Rong Mu Jingyu continued to ask this question. She interrupted him urgently and said: "Su Ci, tell me honestly why the old thief Wu Ming is chasing me. Is it because I sneaked into Mount Emei secretly and wanted to steal treasures? Also, why did she want to Killing you behind your back. Could it be... to silence you and prevent you from exposing your pursuit of me?"
"Hahaha, Dinan Xun, you are not too stupid. You have finally figured out your thoughts." Su Ci said, "Actually, I thought the same as you at the beginning, thinking that it was just you who stole the treasure that caused the trouble. Wu Ming was furious and sent us to hunt you down. But later, I discovered that things were far from what I thought, but there was something else hidden."
"What's the secret?" Not only did Dinan Xunbei arouse curiosity, Lian Mu Jingyu and the other three also asked at the same time.
"You are the illegitimate son of Master Wuming!"
If Su Ci's previous words were like a heavy blow, the secret she revealed now was like a thunder!
"Impossible, impossible, impossible!" Dinan Xun took a few steps back. If Mu Jingyu hadn't supported him in time, he would have sat on the ground.
Yu Paopao pulled out the Liuling Chuanshui Emei Thorn with a swish, pointed at Su Ci, and said viciously: "Bah! Su Ci, I respect you as an elder. Regardless of whether what you said before is true or not, I, Yu Paopao, have the right to Take it as fact. But you said that the head master...she...she actually had an illegitimate child! I wouldn't believe it if I were a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people! If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of this girl. The sword took your life!"
As a disciple of Emei, Yu Paopao has seen many disciples being hunted down by their master for various reasons in his more than 20 years of experience. That's why I was skeptical about what Su Ci said before. But she actually said that Di Nanxun was the illegitimate son of Master Wuming, which she didn't want to believe no matter what.
You know, the head of Wuming has been worshiping Mount Emei for more than seventy years, and has long since escaped into Buddhism. His dying body is still in perfect condition, so how could he have an illegitimate child?
What's more important is that if this matter is spread, her dignified head of Emei will not abide by the rules and regulations, and her innocence will be violated. Not only is the position of the leader in danger, but the Thousand Years of Prestige of the Emei Sect will also be wiped out at the same time.
Su Ci said calmly: "Little girl, whether you believe it or not, what I said is the truth. At worst, after this matter is over, you can just go to Wuming in person to ask for the truth! But... I don't care about you If you can tell me anything, your life will be at risk."
Qin Yunchuan pressed Yu Paopao's weapon and said in a deep voice: "Senior Suci, you said that Senior Di is the illegitimate son of the head of Wuming. What evidence is there? How can you let us say it with red lips and white teeth? Is Senior Di convinced?"
Qin Yunchuan knew that this matter was too serious, and it was not appropriate to jump to conclusions based on Su Ci's few words. Besides, it was the young man in black robe who ordered Dinan to find this place. It seems that his identity is unknown, and it is not yet known whether he is a friend or an enemy.
If Su Ci didn't come up with some solid evidence, he wouldn't believe it. In order not to be fooled by those men in black robes again, causing shock to the righteous path of Kyushu.
"Okay, you want evidence, right? I'll let you take a look and give up completely." Su Ci pointed at Di Nanxun and said, "Di Nanxun, take off your shirt and look at your back. Is there a birthmark in the style of Guanyin?"
