In Tianjue Peak, in a quiet room behind the Qingxiao Hall, Mu Jingyu stood aside with his head bowed, while Master Tianyang was sitting upright on a chair.
"Yunchuan, you came to see Master so early. Is there anything important?"
"That is not a particularly important thing." Qin Yunchuan thought for a while and said: "Disciple just heard that the Taoism Conference will be held in our Jiuhua Mountain. Master, you have sent many senior brothers to the surrounding cities. To purchase materials. As a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect, Yun Chuan naturally could not stay out of the matter. So... he came early to ask for an audience with his master, so that the disciples could go out to the mountains and follow the brothers in the sect to attend the Tao Discussion Conference. Do your part.”
"Huh? Do you also want to go out and help?" Master Tianyang looked at Qin Yunchuan with a smile. Of course, he would not believe Qin Yunchuan's words.
Ever since he told Qin Yunchuan how to unlock the Shou Siya formation, he and Mu Jingyu had probably met each other a long time ago. Mu Jingyu won't tell him what little thoughts or discoveries he has, but he won't hide them from Qin Yunchuan.
He came here early this morning to make this request, and he must have a deeper intention. It's just that if the two juniors don't say anything now, they must have their own plans. I'd better pretend to be confused for now, and I guess I'll tell you the truth when the matter is settled.
Qin Yunchuan was watched closely by Master Tianyang, and he stood aside with his hands down, not daring to move. He wanted to tell everything, but he was worried that Mu Jingyu would blame him if he found out, and he was even more afraid that Tianyang Zhenren would investigate Han Yao and others and cause unnecessary trouble, so he had to hang his head and say nothing.
"Okay, since you want to go out for a walk, Master will let you go." Master Tianyang said, throwing a token casually, and then said: "As for them going to that city to buy things... you Wait here for a moment, Master, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
After watching Master Tianyang show off his figure and leave this quiet room, Qin Yunchuan let out a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty at the same time. I disobeyed my master in Pi Mu Diqiu and insisted on leaving with Mu Jingyu. Not only did I not let Master Tianyang blame me, but I also protected him in every way. I already felt a little apologetic in my heart. Today, Master Tianyang still didn't ask questions even though he had seen through his thoughts, which made his already guilty mood even worse.
Not long after, Master Tianyang left and returned. After seeing Qin Yunchuan still standing aside with his hands down, he walked up to him and whispered: "Master, I just asked for you, how many people are there today?" Ten junior disciples went out to buy food. Among them, Du Meng, a disciple of Feilu Peak, led more than ten Feilu Peak disciples to Heyang City to buy the ingredients needed for the Dao Discussion Conference. Ji Ping, a disciple of Suiyunfeng, led the sisters of Suiyunfeng Go to Yiyang City and buy the bedding and clothing needed to arrange the venue."
"The last team, led by Tian Lianxi, a disciple of Jin Yuan Peak, went to Huayang City to purchase a quantity of earth, wood and stone to build the venue."
Master Tianyang spoke in a leisurely manner, carefully observing Qin Yunchuan's reaction every time he said a person's name. When Tian Lianxi's name was mentioned, Qin Yunchuan's calm face changed obviously. After quickly returning to calm, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Yunchuan, do you remember these three places I just mentioned?"
Qin Yunchuan bowed and replied: "Disciple, I have heard clearly. I will go back and pack my things now, and prepare to follow a senior brother and sister to go out to help."
After Qin Yunchuan finished speaking, he was ready to say goodbye and leave. Before reaching the door, I heard Master Tianyang laughing from behind: "Yunchuan, you don't have to go out to buy them. If you rush to a place with them, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."
"Huh? Master, what you said..." Qin Yunchuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Master Tianyang had seen what he was thinking.
Master Tianyang waved his hand and said: "Master, I have no other meaning. I just want to tell you that if you find anything, you can investigate and deal with it yourself. There is no need to hide it from me, Master! Of course, you and If Mu Jingyu thinks that he is not completely sure, he doesn't want to tell me for the time being. Master also understands. But you have to remember one thing, no matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as you, Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu, are here for Jiuhua Sect, for the sake of the righteous sects and for the common people in the world, I, the leader of the Jiuhua Sect, Tianyang Zhenren, will definitely give my full support!"
Qin Yunchuan was shocked by the sudden confession of his heart by Master Tianyang, and was speechless for a long time. Tears welled up unconsciously, and he suppressed the excitement and said: "Grandpa Master, Jingyu and I... Jingyu and I... Hey! There are some things that I can't tell you, Lao Ming, yet. As long as Yunchuan is like this If I can find conclusive evidence once I go out of the mountain, I will definitely tell Grandpa Master everything."
"Okay, I believe in Yun Chuan and Jing Yu." Master Tianyang said with a straight face: "Please wipe your tears quickly. As a disciple of my Jiuhua Sect, what will happen if you cry so easily?" How decent!"
Qin Yunchuan was amused by Master Tianyang's deliberate pretense. After sniffing hard, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Grandpa Master's lesson is that Yunchuan has taken it to heart."
After watching Qin Yunchuan walk out of the quiet room with his head held high, Master Tianyang's face became heavy, and he murmured in a low voice: "Tian Lianxi, Junior Brother Yuanyang! It seems that my guess a few days ago may come true. What is it? No, it depends on what Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu, two juniors, can investigate!"
In an instant, Master Tianyang seemed to be much older. Shaking his head slightly, he sat on the chair in the middle, closed his eyes and fell silent.
After Qin Yunchuan left Tianjue Peak, he did not rush to the mountain gate immediately, waiting to follow Tian Lianxi. Instead, he returned to his residence at Songxiao Peak.
It was estimated that all the disciples who had gone out to purchase had left Jiuhua Mountain and were about to reach three towns before they got up and left Songxiao Peak, took the waist badge given by Master Tianyang, and left the Jiuhua Sect's mountain gate.
Since Tian Lianxi wanted to help Han Yao go out to deliver the news, he must be cautious along the way. If you follow him rashly, you might be discovered by him.
Only after arriving in Huayang City could he relax his vigilance. At that time, he would naturally be able to find out where Tian Lianxi and the man in black robe had a private meeting through Tianji Pavilion of Master Taier or Wangxian Tower of Jin Buhuan, and find a way to overhear their next plan.
Jiuhua Mountain is not far from Huayang City, about dozens of miles away. If it were six years ago, Qin Yunchuan would have needed more than an hour to reach Huayang City.
But now, not only had his cultivation level greatly increased, but he also had the Mingkong Immortal Sword at his feet to help him. It only took him just two quarters of an hour to reach a place a few miles outside Huayang City.
Leaning forward and looking from mid-air, he saw that the small pavilion that had been left behind when he, Mu Jingyu, Zhou Yan, Su Yingying and others first came to Huayang City six years ago was still standing on the official road. one side.
In a daze, Qin Yunchuan's eyes reappeared the scene of the four people making a big fuss that day, as well as the scene of Jinlan and Shen Mengdie being sworn friends.
After sighing for a while, Qin Yunchuan put away his mood, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw twenty or thirty disciples wearing Jiuhua sect costumes, driving more than ten Chu horse chariots, and were about to arrive at Huayang City. The place outside the door.
Since they were ordered to go out to buy the materials needed for the Dao Discussion Conference, naturally everyone would not deliberately hide the identity of the Jiuhua Mountain disciples like before.
After watching everyone enter Huayang City, Qin Yunchuan took out the Bai Rong powder given by Mu Jingyu in the nearby woods, disguised himself as a middle-aged man, and walked into the city.
After entering the city, Qin Yunchuan saw from a distance that Tian Lianxi was commanding dozens of junior brothers to disperse to various parts of the city to buy what they needed, but he did not follow Tian Lianxi closely behind him. Instead, he pretended to be casual and walked towards the center of the city.
Following the method taught by Mu Jingyu, Qin Yunchuan quickly found the branch altar of Tianji Pavilion located here, and then under the guidance of the altar owner, he came to the restaurant of Wangxian Pavilion in Huayang City.
Because it was located near Jiuhua Mountain, Jin Buhuan naturally did not dare to hang up the Wangxian Tower sign in a grand manner, so he gave the restaurant an ordinary name and placed it in the most prosperous area of the city.
After a signal from the altar owner and the restaurant manager, a waiter attentively led Qin Yunchuan and him to a private room by the window on the second floor.
"You two sit down for a moment. The younger one will bring you some good wine and food right away."
Although the waiter recognized the altar master stationed here at Tianji Pavilion, he did not recognize Qin Yunchuan, who had long been disguised. Not only did he see the altar owner being very respectful to Qin Yunchuan, but the manager also changed his attitude towards the middle-aged man after receiving the secret signal. He is a little waiter, how dare he neglect him?
"Then you'll have a hard time." Qin Yunchuan said in a deliberately rough voice.
After the waiter retreated, the altar owner asked: "I don't know who you are, and why do you know the code word of my Tianji Pavilion? If you don't make it clear... please forgive me, Lin, for not being able to help."
Although Qin Yunchuan trusts Master Taier, he is still worried that there are people in black robes or spies secretly planted by Yaoming Palace in Tianji Pavilion under his command. Of course, he cannot show his true face to others.
After listening to Altar Master Lin's slightly threatening words, Qin Yunchuan said calmly: "Altar Master Lin, you don't need to ask any more questions about my identity. As long as you remember, I and your Tianji Pavilion Pavilion Master Taier Zhenren Just an old acquaintance. Otherwise, I wouldn't take the risk of finding you, Lord Lin, so I'm asking you to do me a small favor."
Altar Master Lin frowned, looked at Qin Yunchuan's face carefully, and said in a deep voice: "We are old acquaintances with the Pavilion Master? You have no evidence, how should I trust you?"
Qin Yunchuan suddenly felt dizzy. He had thought about countless possibilities before coming, but he never thought that the people in Tianji Pavilion would make things difficult for him for this reason.
Just when Gai Gai didn't know how to answer, the door of the private room was pushed open. Looking up, it was the person in charge here who was walking in with some food and wine.
"Old Lin, when can you change your cautious character?" The person in charge put down the food and drinks and sat aside with a smile.
"How can I be an outsider if I can know the secret codes of your Tianji Pavilion and my Wangxian Tower at the same time? Since this brother is unwilling to show his true face to others, he has his own considerations. As subordinates, we can just obey orders. There’s no need to get to the bottom of it.”
Altar Master Lin exclaimed: "He is disguised? Old Wangtou, how did you see that!"
Not only Altar Master Lin exclaimed, but Qin Yunchuan was also startled. He thought that after using Bai Rong Fen, outsiders would not be able to spot it. I didn't expect that the shopkeeper of Wangxian Tower would see through it at a glance.
Qin Yunchuan subconsciously touched his cheek, and then said calmly: "The shopkeeper is joking, how can I be disguised!"
Shopkeeper Wang smiled slightly and said: "Hahaha, looking at your face, you are obviously a middle-aged man. But these hands... are of fine skin and tender flesh, like those of a middle-aged man who has traveled all over the world. Where are your hands?"
"Ah!" After hearing Shopkeeper Wang reveal the flaw, Qin Yunchuan was so frightened that he retracted his hands, secretly thinking that he had too little experience in the world to be able to reveal such a low-level flaw.
"Don't be afraid, young man. Old man, I have been staying in this restaurant for a long time. I meet countless people every day, so I can naturally see through your disguise at a glance. How can anyone else notice these small details? "Shopkeeper Wang laughed a few times, which relieved Qin Yunchuan's panic.
Altar Master Lin tilted his head, and after taking a closer look at Qin Yunchuan's face, he reached out and touched the corners of his eyes. He couldn't feel anything strange at all, and then said softly: "The disguise used by the young hero, But is my Pavilion Master’s Bai Rong fan?”
"Master Lin, you can actually see what I used to disguise myself?" Qin Yunchuan exclaimed and immediately stopped talking. Doesn't his exclamation prove that what Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang said is true?
Altar Master Lin relaxed and smiled and said: "What can I say, you can be regarded as the Altar Master in Huayang City. It is not a surprise to be able to recognize the Pavilion Master's exclusive Bai Rong Fan."
Now that his identity has been revealed, Qin Yunchuan still does not intend to reveal his true face. He nodded and said: "Now that you two have seen that I am disguised, and you also recognize the unique hundred-faced fan of Senior Taier. That pair There is no need to doubt my identity..."
Even now, Qin Yunchuan still doesn't want to reveal his identity, so the two of them don't force it. After looking at each other and nodding at the same time, Shopkeeper Wang said: "If young hero needs any help, Master Lin and I will do our best to help!"
