Chapter 75
After taking a short rest and having enough wine and food, the four of them were about to set off, and the entrance to the journey was in the mountain behind the small courtyard. Cheng Bo turned on the mechanism, and an inconspicuous mountain rock made a rattling sound. Soon a dark hole was revealed under the rock, and below it was an endless tunnel.
The four of them said goodbye to Uncle Cheng and walked in the dark tunnel with lights on.
Shangguan Haonan looked around and found that the ground was flat, the air was flowing, and the walls were lined with square bluestones. He couldn't help but ask: "Was this tunnel built by Shaojun before? It's really a good work." Thinking about it like this, He felt more and more that he had voted for the right master.
Mu Qingyan was noncommittal.
Song Yuzhi said: "Probably not. Mu Shaojun just left Huanglaofeng four years ago. He left home for more than a year and spent three years in the church. And with Nie Zhe watching eagerly, he couldn't build anything in three years. There is no tunnel like this." Since he planned to sneak into the Netherworld Huangdao, he has been collecting information about Nie Zhe and the Demon Cult.
Mu Qingyan snorted coldly.
Cai Zhao looked at his cold and straight profile and asked Song Yuzhi in a low voice: "Why is he suddenly unhappy?" He was in high spirits just now, but why did he look like this just after wandering around the small courtyard for a while.
Song Yuzhi sighed understandingly: "I am about to take back the teaching power. Maybe I am timid because of my hometown."
Mu Qingyan turned back suddenly with an evil look in his eyes.
Cai Zhao whispered even more: "I don't think he is timid about being close to his hometown."
Song Yuzhi raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it must be because I just had a bad stomach."
"..." Cai Zhao re-examined this upright senior brother, "Senior brother, do you hate Mu Shaojun?"
Song Yuzhi sent Songbai straight: "How could junior sister think so? Young Master is generous and promised to lend me the Purple Jade Sunflower. I'm grateful to him before it's too late, so how can I hate him."
Cai Zhao:......
Mu Qingyan suddenly turned around: "What are you talking about?"
Song Yuzhi: "Junior sister asked me if I disliked Shaojun. I said Shaojun promised to help me solve my problem, but I was too late to be grateful. How could I dislike Shaojun? Shaojun, right?"
Mu Qingyan's face was covered with frost.
Song Yuzhi lowered his head, "Junior sister, do you think so?"
Cai Zhao: "Hehe, hehe, this authentic needle won't poke."
The four of them walked for a while.
Cai Zhao carefully inspected the gaps between the bluestone wall tiles on both sides of the tunnel, and concluded: "It seems that what the senior brother and Shangguan altar leader just said is not true. This tunnel should have been opened by the ancestors of the Mu family, but it has been abandoned for many years. Mu Shaojun was in the original It will take one or two years to repair the foundation."
Mu Qingyan stretched out his long eyebrows and uttered two words: "Not bad."
Song Yuzhi turned around and praised: "I have heard for a long time that Junior Sister's grandfather is an expert in building institutions. It is indeed extraordinary."
Cai Zhao said happily: "My grandfather is amazing. The wooden birds he made can fly, the brass hourglass tells the time by itself, and there is a long iron pipe leading to the bottom of the well. As long as the hole is opened, the well water will flow." It will flow into the house along the water pipes.”
Song Yuzhi smiled charmingly and praised the Ning family's family background more and more. The younger junior sister's eyesight was extraordinary. Cai Zhao loved her relatives the most. Listening to Song Yuzhi's repeated praises, she felt proud and pretended to be humble. The younger brother and sister were very happy to praise each other.
They are happy and some are not.
Mu Qingyan frowned and said in a strange tone: "Isn't it because of the family background? Zhaozhao's mother blew up the three entrance gates of Guangtianmen with one person. That year, Mrs. Qinglian's wedding party had to Went in through the side door."
Song Yuzhi (knowing who Mu Qingyan is referring to):...
Cai Zhao (who also knows who Mu Qingyan is referring to):...
Shangguan Haonan was very cheerful (I don't know who Mu Qingyan was referring to): "Oh, there is such a thing? I have never heard of it."
"No, no, no!" Cai Zhao explained hurriedly, "My mother is not at odds with Guangtianmen, she is at odds with Madam Qinglian. My aunt was seriously injured because of Madam Qinglian's bad idea..."
Song Yuzhi looked at her.
Cai Zhao:......
Shangguan Haonan said happily: "I have heard for a long time that Yin Qinglian has many tricks. Many masters in my teaching fell under this woman's plan. Miss Feng's mother did a good job, causing that woman to get into trouble! She was carried in through the side door. People who don’t know think it’s concubinage, haha, haha, hahaha…”
Demon sect people, demon sect souls, as the descendants of the demon sect’s big boss, they are naturally happy to know that their enemies are unlucky.
"No, no, no!" Cai Zhao waved his hands in panic, "My mother is not at odds with Mrs. Qinglian, she is actually at odds with Old Sect Leader Yin, because before... Old Sect Master Yin had a plot against my aunt..."
Not long before Mrs. Qinglian got married, the six factions of Beichen made an appointment to attack Netherworld Road. Yin Dai actually asked Cai Pingshu, who was under twenty, to take the lead. This bad idea was Yin Qinglian's idea. Ning Xiaofeng was so angry that he almost wanted to go to Qingque Sect. Swilling water releases poisonous snakes!
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yuzhi's eyes became more subtle.
"..." Cai Zhao realized that he had said it wrong again.
Shangguan Haonan was even more happy. He had a quarrel with the Qingque Sect, and he didn't have much trouble with the Guangtian Clan. Rounding it all off, he was almost one of his own. He said loudly: "Miss Feng, there is no need to explain. What about Guangtianmen and old man Yin Dai, they are not good things! Dai Shaoxia, are you right?"
Song Yuzhi opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Mu Qingyan smiled and said, "Yes, Dai Shaoxia, are you right?"
Song Yuzhi snorted coldly.
"...Forget it, let's stop talking and hurry up." Cai Zhao was helpless.
Only Shangguan Haonan was confused.
The four of them continued to move forward, and there was silence in the deep tunnel. The corners of Mu Qingyan's mouth raised slightly.
More than half an hour later, the four people came out of the tunnel and found that the sky was dim outside and the stars were faintly visible.
Shangguan Haonan looked around and said in shock: "It's actually here!"
Cai Zhao looked back and saw that behind everyone there were mountains and mountains, and the sound of fighting could be faintly heard. She was shocked: "You Guanyue has already taken action. This is the cry of killing from the attack on the pass - so we have crossed the Yaoyue Pass?"
Shangguan Haonan said happily: "We are not just inviting the Yueyue Pass, we are now retreating from the Zhizhi Pass!"
Song Yuzhi thought clearly and immediately said: "Isn't this place not far from the entrance of the secret passage known to the Master of Shangguan Altar?"
Shangguan Haonan was overjoyed: "Not bad." He pointed to the hillside in front of him on the left. A sharp stone forest stood on the mountainside. "The entrance is right there."
The so-called "Wangshan Mountain" is like running to death. Looking at the not-so-distant distance, it took a lot of effort for the four of them to cross over quietly.
Shangguan Haonan opened the mechanism with a sad expression. A hole was revealed behind a sharp stone, and a dark tunnel appeared again. He said: "If you enter from here, you can go directly to the Paradise Palace."
Mu Qingyan clasped his fists hypocritically: "Dai Shaoxia, let's stop here. When I regain the religious power and open the treasure house, I will lend the purple jade golden sunflower to Dai Shaoxia. Dai Shaoxia is here waiting for the army from behind to arrive. Can."
Song Yuzhi turned around and said, "The road ahead is dangerous. Zhao Zhao and I will wait here together with You Altar Master and others."
Mu Qingyan immediately said: "Zhao Zhao is better to follow me. In fact, there are not many people in the Paradise Palace who can fight now."
Song Yuzhi raised his eyebrows: "In that case, why does Mu Shaojun still want me to stay here?"
Mu Qingyan made a serious face: "Young Master Dai is not feeling well, how can he compare with the might of Zhao Zhaohu? I am doing all this for the good of Mr. Dai, and Mr. Dai must not fail to recognize good people's hearts."
Song Yuzhi: "Mu Shaojun claims to be a good person? Haha, you won't be afraid of making others laugh if you tell me."
Mu Qingyan said calmly: "Why did you lose your big teeth when you smiled? Maybe they were knocked out because you were full and talking nonsense."
"I think you are talking nonsense. You actually said that a girl from Zhaozhao's family is 'tiger-like and powerful'. You might as well say she is 'tough-backed and bear-like'."
"I can say whatever I like. Zhaozhao never cares about such minutiae. Only those useless men with small bellies can chatter endlessly..."
"Okay." Cai Zhao sighed deeply, "Let's talk less and drive more."
The four of them entered the secret passage again, and the cold air surged in layer by layer. It was obvious that this secret passage was buried deeper into the ground than the previous one.
The tunnel was quiet and cold, no one spoke.
Shangguan Haonan wanted to open his mouth several times, but was held back by the cold and strange atmosphere. He had never suffered any hardships in his relationship. The only hardship he encountered was being coveted by Nie Zhe, so he didn't know how to speak at this moment.
Seeing that the secret passage was coming to an end, when Shangguan Haonan tried to speak despite being stared at, Mu Qingyan suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "First, let's talk about the situation in the Paradise Palace."
Shangguan Haonan almost shed tears of excitement. He knew that the new master was reliable, and he knew that the new master would not miss important events because of his happiness and anger!
Mu Qingyan said: "Nie Zhe was jealous of talents, so the talents in the teaching have withered in the past ten years. There are only three Qixing elders left, Tianshu elder Lu Fengchun, Yuheng elder Yan Xu, and Tianji elder Hu Fengge. These three Among people, only Hu Fengge was single-handedly promoted by Nie Zhe and can be trusted by him."
Cai Zhao couldn't help but asked: "Is this Elder Hu a woman?"
"Yes." Mu Qingyan said, "She was one of Nie Hengcheng's orphans who was admitted to the Tiangang Disha camp. She was known for her extremely high understanding and ruthless methods. After the battle of Qingluo River, Nie Hengcheng's party members were almost wiped out, so Nie Zhe promoted Hu Fengge For the left and right hands.”
"She seems to be a strong opponent." Song Yuzhi said, "I wonder what her cultivation level is like?"
"Don't think about her today." Mu Qingyan said neatly, "She should not be in the Paradise Palace at the moment."
Song Yuzhi narrowed his eyes: "How do you know?"
Mu Qingyan: "I just know."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Cai Zhao quickly said: "What about the other two elders? Which side are they on, and what are their cultivation levels? If they are like those people back then, we won't be able to cope with it."
Elder Tianxuan was captured and killed by Cai Changfeng who risked his life;
Elder Kaiyang successfully attacked the two elders of Qingfeng and was captured alive by everyone;
Elder Yaoguang and Cang Huanzi, the leader of Taichu Temple, were both injured. Yin Dai picked up the missing one and killed him;
The former Tianji Elder Duan Jiuxiu was personally taught by Cai Zhao, and his cultivation was severely damaged after being seriously injured;
There is also Qiu Baigang, the elder of Tianquan who was assassinated by Nie Hengcheng. You can know his capabilities just by looking at him standing up under Nie Hengcheng's nose for decades.
There was a slight smile in Mu Qingyan's dark eyes: "Don't worry, Zhao Zhao. Each of the seven-star elders has their own strengths, and not everyone is a top expert. For example, Elder Tianxuan, in terms of martial arts cultivation alone, he is far inferior to Cai Changfeng of Luoying Valley. . However, he was good at poisonous hidden weapons, and Cai Changfeng wanted to force him to get the antidote, so he kept his hands on everything during the duel, and he accidentally got a poisonous needle and died."
Cai Zhao felt sad and nodded.
"And Elder Kaiyang..." Mu Qingyan glanced at Shangguan Haonan.
Shangguan Haonan smiled bitterly: "Young Master, it's okay to just say it. In fact, both parents at home have almost told me."
It's funny to say that the Shangguan couple never knew that they had a relative of a demon sect leader before they became adults. After they became adults, Kaiyang Yaoguang and his wife had a sudden whim after drinking, and they were taken out to visit the church to get married. They were also ordered to have a child as soon as possible. Parenting.
Fortunately, both boys and girls are kind-hearted and honest people, and they can stay in love with each other even after they get married. But it's not clear how deep their feelings are for Kaiyang Yaoguang and their elders, so they don't shy away from telling the truth to their son.
Mu Qingyan said it bluntly: "Elder Kaiyang was able to sneak attack Cheng Hao and Wang Dingchuan of Qingque Sect. Of course, it was because he was good at traps and planned every step of the way, but it was also due to Yin Dai's deliberate connivance."
Song Yuzhi said coldly: "Master Mu, be careful what you say."
Mu Qingyan stared into his eyes and smiled coldly: "Have you ever heard of Mr. Li Wenxun, the external leader of the Qingque Sect? Mr. Dai thought that his martial arts skills were better than those who were recently captured by the Qingque Sect. How about that Qiu Renjie?"
Cai Zhao was shocked and had guessed something.
Mu Qingyan took a step forward and said word by word: "The rule of the Qingque Sect is to select the best disciple as the next sect leader. Although Qiu Renjie is the most outstanding disciple among Yin Dai's disciples, all the disciples of the three elders of Qingfeng combined , the most promising person is not Qiu Renjie. Li Wenxun often talks about his senior brothers who died young, saying that their understanding and cultivation are far better than his own. Qiu Renjie is not even as good as Li Wenxun, let alone those senior brothers who died young?!"
Song Yuzhi's face turned pale.
Mu Qingyan took a step forward, not hiding his mocking look: "Back then, Cheng Hao and Wang Dingchuan were not as good as Yin Dai, so Yin Dai became the sect leader. So since Qiu Renjie is not as good as the two disciples of King Cheng, the next sect leader should also be Cheng Hao. Mr. Wang's disciple will take over. But, is Yin Dai willing?"
Cai Zhao murmured: "Of course he refuses. In order to let his daughter become the wife of the sect leader, he shamelessly wants to make Mrs. Su Lian regret her marriage and marry another."
Mu Qingyan nodded and continued: "After Cheng Hao and Wang Dingchuan died, Yin Dai had a ready excuse. In the following years, in the name of avenging the two elders, he continued to encourage their disciples to break into the Netherworld Dao. . It’s a pity that so many good, loyal and courageous men, with their innocent and passionate hearts, have repeatedly struck an egg against a stone without thinking about the evil forces behind them.”
"There are also seniors in the world who feel that such a waste is too tragic and will ruin the future talents of the Qingque Sect. But Yin Dai put a big hat on his head and kept saying that he was deeply grateful to his teacher. If a disciple does not want to take revenge, it would be simply ungrateful. If it hadn't been later. Qi Yunke comes out of nowhere and overpowers all his peers, Yin Dai has an outstanding new disciple, and Li Wenxun may not be able to survive."
