Mu Jingyu nodded, looked up and forgot, only to see that the entire stone room was quite spacious, with all kinds of furniture and utensils inside, like a small retreat room.
"It seems that Master took advantage of the night to come to me today, not just to resolve the estrangement with me. There should be other things to talk about." After Mu Jingyu secretly said something in his heart, he wisely moved away and placed it on the table. There was a wooden chair in the middle, and Master Tianyang sat down on it.
Master Tianyang turned the Qiankun bag over and poured out a jug of fine wine and several plates of side dishes. While motioning for Mu Jingyu to sit aside, he picked up the wine bottle and wanted to pour two glasses of wine.
"Master, don't panic, try this pot of wine." After Mu Jingyu held down Master Tianyang's arm, he took out the wine gourd left for him by the drunkard from his waist, unscrewed the lid of the gourd and , poured out the wine inside.
In an instant, the strong aroma of wine filled the entire stone room. Even with Master Tianyang's cultivation and concentration, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Hmm... the aroma of the wine is rich and refreshing! Jingyu, could this be the immortal wine that the wine master Situ Zhongkang loves so much? When I saw it today, it is indeed well-deserved!"
"Master is right, this is exactly the wine gourd that Master...the alcoholic senior left for me."
Mu Jingyu originally wanted to call Jiugui Master, but he remembered that in terms of seniority, Jiugui was a step above Master Tianyang. He originally became a disciple of Mo Yunshen, but later became a disciple of an alcoholic.
This was nothing at all. I had already made up my mind not to return to the Jiuhua Sect. But today, Master Tianyang put aside his prejudices and resolved the knot with him. I was also agitated for a moment, thinking of Mo Yunshen's voice and smile, and decided to ignore the past grudges.
If you call an alcoholic a master, wouldn't you become an equal to Master Tianyang? I had no choice but to change my words as soon as the words came to my lips.
"It doesn't matter." Tianyang Zhenren shook his hand and said: "Jiu Xian is Jiu Xian, and you and my grandson are yours and my grandson. We don't need to confuse each other. Besides, Jiu Xian has fallen. It's not good to have a disciple like you before he dies. Forget it, no regrets.”
In fact, it is not uncommon throughout the ages for people like Mu Jingyu to join one sect and then another. However, all these disciples must either be outstanding members of the emperor, or the two parties who accept each other's disciples have a close relationship, or have great power, so that they can live in peace with each other. Otherwise, if you rashly join another sect, you will be expelled from the original sect!
"Jingyu... Hey, disciple, thank you Master for your understanding! Let's drink this glass first as a token of respect!" Mu Jingyu didn't expect that Master Tianyang would be so tolerant of him. He was so moved that he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he fell silent, knowing that since he returned to Jiuhua Mountain, Master Tianyang has been giving in everywhere, and he must have something to ask for. At this point, the wine is gone, so let’s listen to what he has to say.
Sure enough, after Tianyang Zhenren put down his wine glass, he stared into Mu Jingyu's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
"Jingyu, do you know why, Master, I can put aside my prejudices and resolve the knot with you?"
Mu Jingyu had a thought in his mind and secretly said that the real thing is coming! Still maintaining a humble expression on his face, he replied: "Didn't Master just say that after so many years, you have figured it out. Even if the disciple didn't impulsively rescue Bi Yun back then, Uncle Mo would have done his best to rescue her."
"Huh? Haha...hehehe..." Master Tianyang looked at Mu Jingyu's sincere expression and suddenly laughed softly. He pointed at Mu Jingyu and said with a smile: "Mu Jingyu, Mu Jingyu, it seems like this Over the past half year or so, not only have your cultivation levels greatly improved, but your character has also improved a lot, and you now know how to hide your sincerity."
Mu Jingyu knew that Master Tianyang had seen through his Xiao Jiujiu. He just smiled awkwardly and then asked: "Master, please forgive me for being ignorant and not understanding what you mean."
Master Tianyang laughed and said: "Okay, now that we have spoken out, Master, I don't dare you to play any riddles anymore. Let's open the skylight and speak openly, don't hide it."
Recalling Master Tianyang's questions in Qingxiao Hall during the day, Mu Jingyu finally guessed that he would suddenly change his attitude and the real purpose of Xingye's visit.
"Master, if you have anything to say, just ask. Disciple, tell me everything you know!"
"Since you said this, then I will ask." After a moment of meditation, Master Tianyang slowly uttered three words: "Black-robed man! Master still wants to know, what do you think about the sudden appearance of the black-robed man?" , how much do you know!”
Mu Jingyu nodded secretly and thought that his guess was good. Master Tianyang was still curious about the origin of the man in black robes and hoped to get some useful information from his mouth.
"Master, you think too highly of your disciples. Ever since Jingyu entered Jiuzhou, he has been falling into the traps set by the men in black robes. How can he still have the time and energy to investigate their origins and purposes? Besides, Even the upright and upright sects in Jiuhua Mountain don't know their details, so how can I, a junior with no foundation, know about them?"
When Mu Jingyu heard about Tianyang Zhenren, he tried to find out more about the black-robed man from his own mouth, but he immediately paid attention. If... if there is any connection between Master Tianyang and the man in black robe, wouldn't he risk his own life by rashly telling everything Jin Yingzi told him?
Although this possibility is slim, after experiencing all the previous traps, he does not dare to trust others casually. Especially Tianyang Zhenren who always shows kindness and is obviously different from before!
Master Tianyang smiled and shook his head and said: "Mu Jingyu, Mu Jingyu, do you still say that you have no foundation? Now, no one in the entire Jiuzhou knows that you and Princess Bi Yun were childhood sweethearts, and you are the only disciple of Jiu Xian. . Even the two Dharma Kings and the Qijue Scholars and other powerful men of divine knowledge are standing behind you, and you still say that you have no foundation. Doesn’t it mean that I, the master, am a three-year-old child?"
"Besides, you can escape from the hands of the men in black robes time and time again. If you say that apart from the help of strong men, there is no help from the men in black robes, Master, I will not believe anything you say."
When Mu Jingyu heard Master Tianyang talking about his deeds in Jiuzhou, he was inevitably a little carried away. However, the thought that held close to his heart did not allow him to blurt out what he knew.
"Forget it, if I don't tell you the truth, I think you'll be beaten to death and won't talk anymore." Seeing Mu Jingyu, Master Tianyang still kept his lips tightly shut, unwilling to say another word, so he had to tell him what he said in Qingxiao Hall. What he said was repeated again.
After listening, Mu Jingyu said: "Master, don't blame Jingyu, it's really...it's really because..."
"Okay, okay." Master Tianyang waved his hands and said, "Master knows that you are worried about the people in black robes secretly spying on Jiuhua Mountain. So, you don't dare to completely trust me."
Mu Jingyu felt excited: "Jingyu, thank you Master for your understanding."
Master Tianyang pointed around and said: "The reason why I brought you here is precisely because of this worry. I also said before that this is my top secret place in Jiuhua Mountain, and no one can eavesdrop on our conversations. You can tell me what you know with confidence. Unless...unless you don't even believe me, Master, and you are worried that you are a spy of the man in black robe."
The two met each other and laughed at the same time.
Mu Jingyu, who had completely let down his guard, immediately told him exactly what Jin Yingzi told him.
Master Tianyang listened and kept nodding. After Mu Jingyu finished speaking, he said: "Well, my previous guess was good. The people in black robes who suddenly appeared are none other than the Jiuli tribe in the Netherworld Ghost State, the barbarians from the overseas fairy mountains, and those who may have hidden their identities. A disciple of Wujixu."
Mu Jingyu said: "It turns out that Master has already guessed it."
"I only thought about it recently. I just received a letter from Yun Chuan and knew that there were spies of black-robed men in each sect. That's why I didn't dare to send my disciples to investigate and verify, so as not to alert the enemy. I just happened to receive a request for help from the head of Wuming. , knowing that you were trapped outside Mount Emei, I asked Senior Brother Yunyang to bring you back. On the one hand, it was to protect you, but on the other hand, I also wanted to get a definite answer from you."
"I see, that's it." After hearing this, Mu Jingyu understood Master Tianyang's true intention.
Master Tianyang then asked: "Jin Yingzi of the Chu Li tribe, can you tell me what the black-robed man wants for the abyss colorful beads, green lotus green branch dew, Tianxiang wood and other things?"
Mu Jingyu sighed and said, "Hey~ It's a pity that just when Jin Yingzi was talking about this, Elder Gu Li suddenly arrived with someone and interrupted us."
"Forget it, if you don't know, just don't know. After two days, when Yun Chuan, Su Yingying, and Shen Mengdie come back, I will secretly order them to take a trip to Netherworld Ghost State to see if they can find any clues."
"Let them go!" Mu Jingyu said nervously: "Master, can you...send the other disciples..."
Master Tianyang laughed and said: "Master knows what you are worried about. But, you also know that there are not many junior disciples in the Jiuhua Sect that I can completely trust. And sending people with a certain status , and I am worried that it will attract the attention of interested people. Of course, in order to prevent them from having accidents, I will give the three of them some magic weapons, which will be enough to protect their safety."
"In this case, I think you are worrying too much." Mu Jingyu thought for a while and then said: "Master, Jingyu has another unkind request. I hope you can agree to it."
"But it doesn't matter."
Mu Jingyu said: "Can you please ask Master to keep Brother Qin? I still have some things that need his help."
"Huh?" Master Tianyang tilted his head, stared at the somewhat nervous Mu Jingyu, and said with a half-smile: "Could it be that... Jingyu, the reason why you returned to the mountain with Senior Brother Yunyang is not what I thought before. It was to force King Bei Pluto to promise to heal Bi Yun in public. He also didn’t want several forces to conflict and cause unpredictable casualties, so he wanted to protect Qin Yunchuan and others from harm. It should... and a little thought of his own. Are you in there?"
"Ah!" Mu Jingyu was completely stunned. He didn't expect that just by making a small request, Master Tianyang came back to his senses in an instant and guessed his true purpose.
"Master, please don't make random guesses. I really have no other intentions! I'm just worried about Brother Qin's safety!" Mu Jingyu knew the situation, straightened his face and defended hastily.
It's okay that he didn't hide it. This behavior was obviously guessed by Master Tianyang. He was not in a hurry to expose Mu Jingyu at the moment: "Okay, okay, you don't have to explain anything in a hurry, Master, I don't Just ask more.”
After Master Tianyang finished speaking, he stood up after thinking for a while, came to the side of the stone room, reached out and held a bright lamp embedded in it, and slowly turned it under Mu Jingyu's gaze. Just hearing the creaking sound of the machine, a stone cave was actually exposed under the stone bed.
Master Tianyang pointed to the sudden appearance of the cave and said: "Jingyu, Master knows that you must have discovered something when you returned to the mountain this time. Since you don't want to talk about it for the time being, I won't ask any more questions. This cave is a It is in a secret place, leading directly to the foot of Tianluo Peak. If you want to go out, you can leave here on your own without worrying about being discovered."
After hearing this, Mu Jingyu felt surprised. I didn't expect that the matter that I had been worrying about would be solved by Master Tianyang.
"Disciple, thank you Master for your understanding!" Mu Jingyu said solemnly: "As soon as I find definite evidence, I will report it to Master immediately. I will definitely not dare to hide anything anymore!"
While Mu Jingyu was greatly moved, he decided not to reveal his findings yet. After all, he is now just suspicious of the man in black robe who may be the spy secretly inserting himself in Jiuhua Mountain. Once told to Master Tianyang at this moment, it might lead him to start investigating immediately. If this were done to scare the enemy, it would all be in vain.
"I believe that you, Mu Jingyu, are no longer what you used to be. You will definitely be able to find out everything you want to know with your own strength." Master Tianyang encouraged Mu Jingyu and then turned the light again to close the secret passage.
"However, Master would like to remind you that you should always stay in the prison outside to avoid being spotted. Only in the dead of night can you come to this stone room or go out from the secret passage. After all, You caused a lot of trouble in Mount Emei. You are still imprisoned in Mount Jiuhua in name. If someone finds out that I let you out privately, it will be difficult to explain."
"Disciple understands!" Mu Jingyu nodded knowingly. Now that Master Tianyang has explained everything, can he still disobey orders and cause trouble for Master Tianyang?
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and continued to exchange glasses, enjoying fine wine, delicious food, and a rare relaxing time.
