Seeing Yan Shuang send Mr. Luo away, Ma Hu was worried that he would be seen by the two evil ladies Luo Ying and Lu Shuang, so he took Qian Chao and hid for a while, waiting for Yan Shuang and the other four people to leave. Then he showed up and returned to the sect.
Then it was time to get down to business. Ma Hu took Qian Chao all the way around the sect, and finally returned to Jiuxuan. However, there were fewer and fewer people in the direction he went. It was already the Jiuxuan Dan monks who were starting to build. The place of cave.
"This is the cave of Senior Jiu Xuan Jin. Recently, Senior Jin has been sent out to take command due to the tense situation between us and the Mu Yang Sect. Well, Senior Jin has a disciple named Su. This is Senior Brother Su. I have been investigating the cause of Senior Brother Xun’s death under the orders of my master, and he wants to see us today.”
Qian Chao knew that the master of Senior Brother Xun who died outside was none other than Senior Jin. However, when he was pulled out by Ma Hu today, he originally thought it was a matter of discussion between the two, but later he followed him around in Jiuxuan. When I went there, I knew that there were more than just the two of them. Now I finally learned that there is another senior brother Su. It seems that what he and Ma Hu said was told to this senior brother Su.
"bring it on."
Following Ma Hu, Qian Chao and he came to a small attic.
Ma Hu knocked on the door, and a young man of medium build opened the door. His face was slightly yellow, but he also had thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a black mustache on his lips. He stood in front of the door and looked at him with gleaming eyes. Ma Hu two people.
Ma Hu quickly introduced:
"Junior Brother Qian, this is Senior Brother Su Zang, a disciple of Senior Jin. Senior Brother Su, this is Junior Brother Qian."
"Qian Chao has met Senior Brother Su."
The other party was a foundation-building monk. Qian Chao did not dare to neglect him and saluted quickly.
"Junior brother Qian, you're welcome. Come on, two junior brothers, come in and talk."
After sitting down in the hall, Ma Hu spoke first.
"Junior Brother Qian, you should have guessed why I brought you here today. Well, that day you told me everything about Senior Brother Xun, and I told Senior Brother Su what you told me. Elder Jin has ordered that Senior Brother Su must find out who harmed Senior Brother Xun, so Senior Brother Su has been working on this matter. After getting the news about you, because I was injured, Senior Brother Su secretly investigated , now we have found out who the boy you mentioned is..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Chao immediately asked:
"Oh? Found it out! Who is that person?"
"Hmph! That boy's name is Wen Liang, but..."
Su Zang interjected:
"Let me tell you. After listening to what Junior Brother Ma said, I immediately mobilized people to secretly inspect the sect. According to what Junior Brother Qian said, the man had gray hair and always had a smile on his face. I searched for several days. , finally got an idea, there is indeed such a guy, but it is strange to say that those who can remember this person have difficulty in naming that person, so naturally they are not familiar with that person. At that time, It makes me very suspicious that no matter how lonely a person is, he will have a few friends, even if they are just acquaintances, his name will always be known to the people around him, but this person is so strange, as if the clan can remember this person. We just passed by him occasionally, but he didn't leave any information about his name."
Senior Brother Su smiled when he said this, looked at the two of them and continued:
"Then I made a bold guess. Maybe this person had friends, but he and his friends have disappeared or don't appear often in the sect. In other words, those who are familiar with this person Either they were all dead or missing, so no one could remember him anymore. So I went to the archives within the sect. The disciples in the sect, especially the Qi Refining disciples, were unable to break through the foundation building and fell. There are records in the archives, and if you don’t appear in front of people for a long time, it may be that something happened outside, and a very detailed record will be recorded in the archives. I only need to find out who recently It’s okay to be together often and then disappear.”
"How were these...discovered and recorded?"
"It's simple. Qi refining disciples all have a share of the sect's support in the sect. Anyone who doesn't receive it for a long time will naturally be recorded."
"Oh." Qian Chao nodded when he heard this. It was indeed a good idea.
"Well, I spent a lot of effort in the archives, and finally found some clues. There were about a dozen or less than twenty people, but they disappeared for a long time. Until now, I don’t know whether they are dead or alive. And judging from the records in the archives, they disappeared at the same time. Later, I found out that these people used to hang out together, so I followed these people to look for them. Even if these guys disappeared, they still disappeared. So many people always have contacts with other people in the sect. Well, we asked many people and finally compiled what they said together. Finally, one name appeared repeatedly among those we asked. …”
"Wenliang?" Qian Chao said.
"Exactly. If it happened once, I might not care. But we have asked at least two hundred people in total. This name was mentioned accidentally, but when we asked about that gentle man again, those people couldn't say anything. Come on, I just said that I heard this name from the people who disappeared. As for this gentle person’s appearance, I didn’t know anything about it. After knowing this name, I immediately went back to the archives to search for this gentle person. Things finally led me to find out that Wen Liang was a disciple sent by a poor little aristocratic family. Fortunately, that little aristocratic family was not far from our Wuling Sect, so I sent people to go there and inquire about it, and finally asked there. Something happened."
What Qian Chao was thinking at this time was that although Senior Brother Su's method was good, the battle was a bit too big, and he might have alerted the enemy.
"Junior Brother Qian, you are right. That Wen Liang has gray hair. It is said that he has been like this since he was a child and has never changed. And, that kid also has a natural smile, even when he is frowning, he looks like that. He looked pleased with himself, and from this we confirmed that this Wen Liang is the person we are looking for."
"Gentle and kind..."
Qian Chao repeated the name. At this point, Qian Chao remembered the back figure he saw on the day Yan Shuang entered the sect on the bank of Tianshui Lake. Yan Jing followed Wen Liang respectfully. He did not expect this person. He was still a son of an aristocratic family, so he asked again:
"It turns out that guy's name is Wen Liang. Senior Brother Su, you sent someone to go to that Wen family. How about that aristocratic family?"
"A very down-and-out aristocratic family. The head of the family is only at the intermediate level of foundation building. It is estimated that in a few years, this aristocratic family will die."
"Has this family ever been prominent before?"
"I've also checked this. This family has always been mediocre before, and it's not much better than it is now."
Qian Chao nodded and said nothing after hearing this.
Su Zang continued, "It's a pity that I found the name, but not the person..."
"That's right!" Ma Hu said, "Senior Brother Su has been investigating this guy for a long time. During this period of time, we couldn't find that Wenliang in the sect. His gray hair is very eye-catching."
Qian Chao was not surprised at all by this. He didn't know much about Senior Brother Su, but he had learned a lot about Wen Liang during this period of time and felt that he was not a person who could be easily dealt with.
Su Zang said again:
"So now I'm worried that the kid ran away because of fear..."
Qian Chao said:
"No, uh... I don't think so. This Wen Liang has been running the sect for so long and won't run away easily."
"Alas! Then it may be that we alerted that guy during the investigation. Huh, according to what Junior Brother Qian said, this gentle man has many members. It is possible that we accidentally alerted him, making that gentle man alert. No, It’s possible to dare to come back.”
Qian Chao nodded:
"It's possible, two senior brothers, has the guy named Yan Jing appeared in the sect recently?"
"No." Su Zang replied, "When we investigated Wenliang, we also investigated Yan Jing. It seems that people who know Yan Jing said they haven't seen him for a while."
Qian Chao said:
"It's a pity that among the people around Wen Liang, I only know Yan Jing and An Shiqi. An Shiqi is dead. Although the remaining ones have captured Zuo Fengyuan, that guy basically doesn't know much, so it's useless, and There must not only be these few people around Wen Liang, there must be many people working for him, and even if they are not in the sect, he at least has a general idea of what is going on in the sect."
"It makes sense, but if he doesn't come back, it's really hard to find him. The sect is so big, and if he finds a hiding place at will, we will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I originally wanted to continue to pursue it, but recently I picked up a I have to go out once. It was the elders of the sect who asked for me. It was also my master who needed my help. So I have to ask my two junior brothers to continue investigating the matter about Wen Liang. If I come back early, then Let's continue to think of a solution together. If you can catch him in advance, remember to keep him until I come back and kill him again!"
This is the reason why Su Zang found these two people today. In fact, it was mainly because he was looking for Qian Chao. He and Ma Hu started investigating after the incident with Senior Brother The news actually found the guy, which made Su Zang look at Qian Chao with admiration, and Su Zang knew that Qian Chao would not refuse, because he knew from Ma Hu that the gentle man also wanted Qian Chao's life for some reason.
"Senior Brother Su, don't worry. We will definitely continue to pursue him. If we can catch him, huh, I will only take half of his life and leave the remaining half for Senior Brother Su to come back and kill him!" Ma Hu said.
Qian Chao actually had something to say, but among the two people in front of him, he was not familiar with Senior Brother Su, so he did not speak again and only said:
"Please rest assured, Senior Brother Su. If any discovery is made, I will definitely discuss with Senior Brother Ma and work together to capture this person."
"Then please. Oh, Junior Brother Qian, we also made a lot of records during the investigation. Junior Brother Ma said that Junior Brother Qian is a very smart person. Hey, Junior Brother Qian, please take these back and take a look at them. Maybe we can There is something missing in it, and maybe Junior Brother Qian can make some new discoveries from it."
"good."
Qian Chao said and took out a thick notebook from Su Zang's hand. It seems that this senior brother Su is a meticulous person, but he is not rigorous enough.
"When will Senior Brother Su go out?" Ma Hu asked.
"I will leave tomorrow, so I invited the two junior brothers here today."
Qian Chao asked:
"It is said that our Wuling Sect is now fighting with the Mu Yang Sect. What is the current situation of the battle?"
"The situation of the war cannot be discussed. We did not openly fight against them at the junction with the Muyang Sect. Of course, there will be fights secretly. However, we have successfully instigated several families who were originally loyal to the Muyang Sect and made them switch to the Five Kingdoms. The Ling Sect has finally taken over a piece of land. The main purpose of this sect is to protect Jiu Gen Yuan. Now that the Mu Yang Sect has suffered a loss and everyone is attracted to us, Jiu Gen Yuan can now use their hands and feet to deal with Motian Cliff. "
"I see."
…
Coming out of Senior Brother Su Zang, Ma Hu said:
"Junior Brother Qian, let's go and sit at my place."
Qian Chao thought for a moment and then agreed. When he told Ma Hu about this gentle matter, he had some reservations. Some things were not revealed to him. Now maybe he can talk more deeply with this senior brother Ma.
After the two sat down at Ma Hu's residence, Ma Hu was busy getting tea, while Qian Chao flipped through the thick book Su Zang had just given, which basically recorded the entire interview process. , the opening chapter also lists the people involved in the interview, their backgrounds, etc.
After the tea was served, Ma Hu said:
"My master knew that I was investigating the cause of Senior Brother Xun's death. Later, he told me about it during a chat with Elder Jin. Later, Senior Brother Su came to me and asked me what I had found. When was that, oh, it was what happened after you refined the frightening drum for me. After all, Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Xun are brothers in the same sect. Of course, they also wanted to find the real culprit, so when he came to find me, I I told him everything I knew. After you told me what you found when you rescued Yan Shuang last time, Senior Brother Su came to see me again. At that time, I was injured and couldn't move, thinking about it. It’s better to tell him the information you gave him. After all, he is a foundation-building senior brother and can do more things in the sect than me. Hehe, I didn’t expect that even though I found out, I couldn’t find anyone.”
The reason why Ma Hu said this was because he had not told Qian Chao about Senior Brother Su before. Senior Brother Su suddenly called the two of them over. He was a little worried about Qian Chao's thoughts, so he made some remarks. explain.
Qian Chao looked away from the book in his hand and said:
"I think it's normal that I can't find it."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Senior Brother Ma, I have always felt that this kind of gentleness is not simple. The last time I told you about this matter, I talked about it in a general way, and I didn't have time to elaborate on many details. Today, Senior Brother Ma has no six ears here, so why not go into detail with Senior Brother Ma? Let’s talk about it. Brother Ma, you know a lot of people. In your impression, are there any disciples of your predecessors? Oh, I’m talking about Qi Refining disciples, excluding those who build foundations. Are there any such disciples? Help others quickly improve their cultivation in a short period of time?"
When Ma Hu heard the words "Zai Wu Liu Er", he knew that what Junior Brother Qian was going to say must have been something he had not said in front of others last time, so he listened carefully, and after listening to what Qian Chao said, he immediately said:
"Of course not. Anyway, I must have never heard of such a person. Wouldn't that be a genius in cultivation?"
"Yeah, but we both know that at least two people are like this, one is Yan Jing, the other is An Shiqi, and of course, there are Li Lihua and Zuo Fengyuan, but these two can't get into Wen Liang's place It's just a platform. Brother Ma, you also said that such a person is not a genius in cultivation, but Wen Liang is just a young disciple sent by the Wen family. Brother Su has also checked the Wen family, and you heard it there just now. , Senior Brother Su said that the Wen family may disappear in a few years. How can such a down-and-out family have a way to quickly improve people's cultivation? If it really does, will this family still be in decline? "
"Then...what's going on?"
Although Ma Hu is not stupid and has a teacher, he still can't think too fast.
"Well, Senior Brother Ma, this is what worries me the most. Based on what we know, I have always suspected that the real Wen Liang is dead, and the person we are tracing now is just pretending to be Wen Liang in the sect. Just planning something."
"With... a gentle identity? But, according to what I heard from Senior Brother Su, that boy should also have gray hair and a smile on his face?"
Qian Chao pursed his lips and said two words:
"Seize the body!"
"What!"
The word "seizing one's body" startled Ma Hu. Although Ma Hu was not a good person, he often did shady things outside the sect, and his hands were stained with a lot of blood, but Ma Hu also said "seizing one's body". He had only heard of it, but he himself was very disgusted with it. After all, Wuling Sect was a prominent sect, and such devious tricks as seizing bodies were strictly prohibited. Once discovered, they would be severely punished. Even if some monks with no hope of breakthrough inquired secretly in private, they would never dare to bring it to the table. Therefore, Ma Hu had never thought in this direction regarding Wen Liang.
The change in Ma Hu's expression reflected Qian Chao's discernment. He knew that Senior Brother Ma had never considered this possibility, but Qian Chao could not guarantee whether Senior Brother Su had thought about it. Even Qian Chao felt that it should be Senior Brother Su. After checking again and again, he found out something, and found that he couldn't handle it if he continued to check, so he left the matter to himself and Ma Hu, and he walked away.
But those Qian Chao didn't care. After all, this Wen Liang was plotting against himself, and he was probably plotting against his companions, most likely Tang Ping. Therefore, regardless of whether Senior Brother Su had told him about this matter or not, he would still be plotting against him. Check it out.
"is it possible?"
"Senior Brother Ma, this is just my guess, but it can explain why Yan Jing followed him with all his heart, and why An Shiqi risked his life to keep his secret."
Ma Hu was speechless. This was indeed a reasonable explanation. He looked at Qian Chao and said:
"Junior Brother Qian, please continue."
"Based on Senior Brother Su's investigation, I think this Wen Liang, oh, is the original son of the Wen family. He is a perfect candidate to be taken away from his body. His origin is not obvious. What a person he is. Look at more than a dozen people who have died before you ask. Others don't even know his name. He must be an introvert and unsociable person on weekdays, so he is not noticed by people. So as long as he is taken away and killed, almost no one can tell the difference. What is the difference before and after Chu Wenliang seizes his body?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
"However, just after he succeeded in seizing the body, one person was missing from the list of people who knew Wen Liang."
"You mean... Zhang Jing."
"Yes, Zhang Jing returned to his family because of something, so he escaped, but he did not escape in the end. When he returned to the sect again, he met Wen Liang outside the sect again, and Zhang Jing met Wen Liang that time …”
Ma Hu became excited and interjected:
"Zhang Jing is familiar with Senior Brother Xun. They went out together, and there was a man named Wei with them. After they went out, Senior Brother Xun also discovered that Zhao Shunyi and Jia Si were robbing others, so he took action to teach those two people a lesson. No, it was Zhao Shunyi. After running away, Jia Si was pulled by Senior Brother Xun to follow them. Later, Jia Si was injured and returned to the sect. Then Senior Brother Xun died outside. The man surnamed Wei was not dead at the time. He escaped and was rescued after being unconscious on the way. Yes, right!” (For the above, see Volume 4: Trial Feather, Chapter 190: Senior Brother Ma’s Investigation.)
These were all found by Ma Hu himself, so when the current causes and consequences were smoothed out, Ma Hu seemed a little excited when he said these things.
"Yes, what Jia Si said, he was repeating Zhang Jing's words, 'That smiling man, in just two years, he no longer recognizes me. It's just like a different person. It's really unreasonable.' From this point of view, Look, it should have been when Wen Liang was taken away. Zhang Jing was no longer in the sect, so he escaped. Then he ran into Wen Liang again when he came back. They went to chat, but the current Wen Liang was frightened, and then he immediately planned to kill Zhang. Jing, and then...then Senior Brother Xun is implicated, or that Wen Liang doesn’t want to let anyone go!"
"It makes sense, it makes sense!" Ma Hu muttered, panting and hacking around in his room, but not knowing what he was looking for. When he saw the teacup on the table, he grabbed it and drank it all. " In this case, Wen Liang must have been taken away from him, which makes sense, as there must be no future troubles, this must be the case!"
"Senior Brother Ma, I told you these things before Miss Yan Shuang was attacked. However, when I came to find you, you were not there. At that time, you were sent by the sect to protect Yan Shuang, so I never had the chance to tell you. I I asked your senior brother to leave you a message, but after experiencing the attack on Miss Yan Shuang, does senior brother Ma have any thoughts?"
"what idea?"
"Think about it, there is a monk whose cultivation must be above Qi refining. He is either building a foundation or forming a pill. He kidnapped a young Qi refining disciple, and then sneaked into the Five Spirits Sect and eliminated all the people he knew before. He also cultivated a group of party members. He couldn't be thinking about becoming a promising monk in Wuling Sect. He should be planning something, and what he was planning was far more important than killing a person. Senior Brother Xun is more important."
"That...makes sense, what could that be?"
"Well...this is exactly what I want to find out, but it's hard to find out now."
As he spoke, Qian Chao shook the thick book given by Senior Brother Su in his hand.
"Junior Brother Qian is saying..."
"Alas, if Senior Brother Su checks like this, he will definitely alert the snake. There are so many people who have been asked in this book, and maybe someone is the gentle spy. So, even though Senior Brother Su spent a lot of effort, he only got one name. "
Ma Hu heard that Qian Chao wanted to blame him. Thinking about it, if he could hold back, he would investigate more closely with Qian Chao or ask Qian Chao and Brother Na Su to investigate together. To the extent that it only has a name.
"Hey! It's my fault. Senior Brother Su did act too hastily. If I had known this, I should have discussed it with Junior Brother Qian in advance."
"It doesn't matter, there are current investigation methods now."
"Oh, so Junior Brother Qian has an idea?"
"There is one, but..."
"Hehe, Junior Brother Qian, don't worry. I will definitely never tell anyone what you said this time. Well, I won't even tell him to my master, lest he go outside and talk nonsense."
"Well, with such a big thing happening just now, Senior Brother Ma wouldn't think it was over just like that."
"Big event...what's the big deal?" Ma Hu was stunned. What big event happened just now? Could it be that Yan Shuang became a disciple yesterday? No, that's not what Junior Brother Qian was talking about. "Are you talking about Yan Shuang being attacked outside? "
"right!"
"Is it possible that Wen Liang planned what happened that night?"
"No, judging from the time, the layout, and the people who were caught, it must not have been planned by Wen Liang, but... Senior Brother Ma wouldn't think that they wouldn't do it a second time if they failed once! "
"You mean they will come to kill Yan Shuang again?"
Ma Hu's eyes widened when he heard Qian Chao's words.
"Yes, I only found out later that in this incident, several important people who escaped were not caught. This is something wrong. The sect has made many arrangements, and it shouldn't be like this. Especially In the end, Gui Su was rescued by a guy. The people we chased out and came back injured said that they were injured by people dressed as Wuling disciples on the way. Maybe it was a rescue effort, but it could also be that they were injured. It was done by a gentle man. He was there at the time. Brother Ma, suppose I am Wen Liang and I am planning something big that is unfavorable to the Wuling Sect. I happen to encounter the Mu Yang Sect's plan to deal with Yan Shuang, and I end up in failure again. , if I can help Mu Yangzong get rid of Yan Shuang in the future, and if I launch a long-planned conspiracy against the Wuling Sect in the future, Mu Yangzong will definitely be willing to help me."
Ma Hu didn't hear these things and took them to heart. He only understood one thing, that is, the little beauty Yan Shuang would still be in danger in the future.
"When will they take action?" This is what Ma Hu is most concerned about.
"I don't know about this, but if we do it again, it will definitely be different from the last time. In fact, in the last time, the only ones who really posed a threat to us were only a few people. If we extrapolate from this, next time It is inevitable that they will not make such a big splash again. As long as they are looking for a few people with good cultivation methods to sneak in and ambush Yan Shuang, and they are caught off guard and attack Yan Shuang, that is the most dangerous thing."
Ma Hu agreed very much with this. He was injured twice for Yan Shuang, and the two people who injured him were considered top figures among Qi Refining monks. If they were both guys like that, Yan Shuang would be in danger.
"But I can think of it, and the elders in the sect must also have thought that they will secretly strengthen their protection of Yan Shuang during this period. As for when they will take action, they have to wait for this storm to pass and people will relax. Come down, um, find another disciple in the sect to go, or wherever you are willing to go. After all, Yan Shuang is from the North, and most of them have never seen the excitement of the Five Spirits Sect. Some of the Five Spirits disciples are accustomed to her. But I have never seen it. If Luo Ying and others were led to take a look, those people would suddenly intercept and kill them halfway or directly assassinate them in public. Well, I will think about this again and I will definitely tell Brother Ma if I have any clues. "
"Okay, then don't forget it!"
Qian Chao suddenly noticed that something was wrong in Ma Hu's eyes. When he was talking about Senior Brother The smile on his face and his eyes became extremely weird.
"Senior Brother Ma, why do you seem to be looking forward to Miss Yan Shuang being in danger again?"
"Hehehehe, Junior Brother Qian, look, I saved Yan Shuang twice. Now that she sees me, she feels like she owes me a huge debt. If I can save her a few more times next time, maybe she will just By committing myself to her, I don’t have to worry about how to get her, right?"
"This...Senior Brother Ma, you have to do what you can. It was a fluke that you were injured twice last time."
"Don't worry, my master said that I have no other benefits, except that I have good fortune, haha."
Qian Chao shook his head. Having said all that needed to be said for now, he opened the thick book in his hand again.
"Junior Brother Qian, there is something I really want to ask you."
"Senior Brother Ma, please speak."
"Hey, in the case of Yan Shuang's attack, you and the four little guys all made contributions. Recently, among other things, the rumors about you in Jiu Xuan are very miraculous. You are The sect has become famous, but why is there no news of you becoming a disciple until now?"
"this……"
It was only after Qian Chao came back from outside that he realized that he might be in some trouble. It wasn't that he didn't want to become a disciple, but what he really wanted to learn was from Jiuxuan. There was no senior who could teach him everything, and he didn't have a life experience like Tang Ping. , you can learn from three seniors at the same time. If you become a teacher, if you can only learn one thing, you can learn the other two from other seniors. Whether they are willing to teach you or not is one thing. The master you worship may not Allowed, after all, the gates between the seniors in Jiuxuan are still very strict. Whoever is a disciple is a disciple. Going to others to learn skills seems to be disrespecting one's master.
This is what makes Qian Chao hesitate the most.
But the trouble is that Qian Chao is just a young qi-refining disciple. If a senior comes to him and asks him to be included in the door, based on Qian Chao's identity, he really doesn't even have room to refuse. The other party may think that accepting Qian Chao as his disciple is a favor to Qian Chao, and it is also a good thing among others. There must be many people who envy Qian Chao, but in Qian Chao's view, this may not be a good thing.
But the strange part is also here. Almost a month has passed since the incident of Zi Yanshuang's attack. Jiu Xuan is quiet, and no senior has leaked any word that he is going to Qian Chao, who had made great achievements, was put into the door wall, which made Qian Chao feel relieved while feeling extremely strange.
"Junior Brother Qian, I also saw it that day. Not only is your kid good at refining weapons, but he also knows how to use talismans and formations. No, it's not just as simple as a few skills. Hehe, Luo Ying and Wenyuan finally had to deal with that big guy. Didn't it fail? It was you who took action to destroy that big guy. You actually used talismans to set up the formation. Hey, I have never heard of this in Jiuxuan. From this point of view, between talismans and formations, Above all, you are no worse than Luo Ying and Wenyuan, you are even better than them. Although I don’t understand the methods you know, I have also heard that weapon refining, talismans and formations were originally A science is called the study of runes, right?"
Qian Chao nodded.
"Well, it seems that what Junior Brother Qian wants to learn is the study of runes, but the seniors of Jiuxuan can only master one of them at most, but they can't master them all, right? That's why you don't want to become a disciple, right?"
"What Senior Brother Ma said is really what I want. What I want to learn is the study of runes, but it's a bit strange. Senior Brother Ma, think about it, I'm just a young Qi refining disciple. If any senior elder comes to me and says, Do you think I dare to refuse if you want to accept me as a disciple? But this is the case. From the incident with Miss Yan Shuang to now, no elder in Jiuxuan has any intention of accepting me as a disciple. Well... in the end What’s interesting is that at Miss Yan Shuang’s apprenticeship ceremony yesterday, Senior Sisters Luo Ying and Senior Sister Wenyuan approached me and asked me if I wanted to become my teacher to another senior. This must be because the two senior sisters wanted their elders to become their disciples. When I accepted me as a disciple, I also asked my elders to ask for help, but the two elders refused, saying that I already had seniors who wanted to be my disciples, so the two senior sisters came to ask me yesterday. Haha, it seems that reputation No matter how old you are, it’s not what the elders value when recruiting disciples. Maybe the seniors don’t like my complicated studies and think I’m big-hearted and impetuous. Or maybe they have their own rules for recruiting disciples. Well... I can’t join them yet. Their eyes!"
Ma Hu heard something from Qian Chao's words. This Qian Chao didn't want to become a disciple, but he also felt a little angry that he was not taken seriously. He rolled his eyes a few times and then said again:
"Well, those old guys are indeed old-fashioned and stick to the past. Don't pay attention to them. I can only blame them for not accepting you as a disciple. But Junior Brother Qian... I have an idea. How about I tell you?"
"Senior Brother Ma, please speak."
"Hey, Junior Brother Qian, what I want is for you to worship no one at all. Hey, this is my master's cave. If you ask me, why don't you worship my master as your disciple? Why don't we also become fellow disciples? ?”
"ah……?"
"Listen to me, Junior Brother Qian, I know that my master doesn't know anything about weapon refining, talisman making, formations, etc., so he can't teach you. He is proficient in Five Elements Magic, and you don't seem to know anything about Five Elements Magic either. , but that’s nothing. Did your talismans and formations have someone to teach you? You didn’t figure them all out yourself. You are a disciple. In fact, you are a master-disciple. Don’t look at my master’s reputation. ...It’s not very good, hehe, but my master has one of the biggest benefits, do you know what it is?”
"What is it?"
"It's just to protect my shortcomings. Hey, Junior Brother Qian, you know how I am on weekdays, but I have been living a very happy life for so many years. At least no one in the sect dares to do anything to me... As long as Junior Brother Qian is willing, my master I happen to be at home, so I’ll go and tell my master now, how about that?”
This Qian Chao absolutely believed that when we were together a few days ago, Tang Ping told everyone as a joke that Tian Zhi'an found a place for his apprentice to cause a scene in the Wuling Sect's meeting hall. From this, Qian Chao absolutely believed that Senior Tian was a A person who protects his shortcomings, but if you worship him as your teacher just because of this... wouldn't it be a bit childish?
Ma Hu saw Qian Chao's hesitation and knew that he couldn't force this matter, but he had already said it, and it was up to him to think about it, so he added:
"Hey, there's no rush. This is just a suggestion. Junior Brother Qian will consider it himself."
"well."
Qian Chao said hurriedly, just wanting to get rid of this topic, he lowered his head and opened the book in his hand to look through it.
Ma Hu secretly thought it was a pity. He reached out to grab the tea cup and found that his cup was empty. He grabbed the teapot and refilled himself a cup. Before it was filled, he heard Qian Chao from the opposite side make a heavy "hmm" sound, which seemed to be Very shocked!
"What's wrong?" Ma Hu thought Qian Chao had seen some new clues from the book, so he grabbed the teapot and observed Qian Chao's expression.
Qian Chao simply put the book on the table, flipping it back and forth, and then compared it, looking at it with concentration.
"Junior Brother Qian, what did you find?"
Ma Hu said curiously, and his expression became serious.
"Brother Ma, please wait a moment."
Qian Chao said and turned to the first few pages of the book. Senior Brother Su was a meticulous person. Everyone who had been interviewed during this investigation had their names written on the front, and the page numbers were also numbered for easy reference. Qian Chao's fingers were on After swiping lightly inside, he stopped at one place, as if he had found a name. Then he turned the book around, faced Ma Hu, and said:
"Senior Brother Ma, please help me take a look and see who among these names you don't know or haven't heard of."
Ma Hu didn't know what Qian Chao was going to do, but he still lowered his eyes and looked carefully. He turned over and found that he basically knew all the names on it. Even the unfamiliar names had been mentioned by others. No, I really don’t know many.
"Uh... this, this, and this, I have never heard of these names."
Qian Chao was already standing next to him. After hearing what he said, he took out his pen and lightly made a few marks on it.
"Then...Senior Brother Ma should get to know the rest of the people. There are some of them who are unwilling to do their duty and like to cause trouble outside. Senior Brother Ma will help me identify them."
"oh"
After hearing this, Ma Hu lowered his head and began to search among the names. He also found some, some of which he had taught him a lesson. Qian Chao made different marks on the names of those people while listening.
"If any of the others have a good reputation, Senior Brother Ma will look for them again."
"oh"
"Which of the people here have masters? Senior Brother Ma can help me point them out."
"Are there any of those whom Senior Brother Ma has only heard of by name but never met in person?"
"Do any of these people have friendship with Senior Brother Ma?"
Finally Ma Hu couldn't bear it anymore and asked:
"Junior Brother Qian, what exactly did you find?"
"Alas," Qian Chao sighed, and finally pointed to the name above and asked, "Does Senior Brother Ma have any impression of this person?"
The name pointed by Qian Chao's finger was two words... "Yin Kuang"
"Yin Kuang?"
"Yes, this Yin condition is not famous, and it is not known. He has met with Brother Ma, but he has no friendship with Brother Ma, and he is still a teacher. Is there any impression or what the characteristics of this person? "
"He ... Is Yin Zheng related to Brother Xun?"
"No ... oh, it's not allowed, but I asked Brother Ma, but it was related to my own affairs?"
After listening to the suspicious glance, Ma Hu glanced at Qian Chao, and began to think about:
"Well, I have seen this time, I have seen it a few times, and I haven't made any contact. It is said that this person is very stable. Well, never provoked right and wrong, very low -key, but practicing It ’s almost twenty years under the elder surnamed Chen. Oh, at the time he worshiped the teacher at the time that it made people talk about it. I don't want to collect this old age, the rest ... it seems gone, and he has nothing new. "
"It's almost the same age." Qian Chao nodded his head and said.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Private affairs, alas ... Brother Ma, come to see this."
After speaking, Qian Chao was found in the storage bag, and took out a book with a blue silk cover cover. There were four words "Five Spirit Notes" on the front. Amber.
"Brother Ma, you should know my origin. I was selected from the world. My Qian family also had an elder who practiced in Wu Lingzong before me, but unfortunately encountered a monster outside. However, it was injured, and it was the fundamental to the practice. From then on, there was no possibility of improving in the practice. In the end, I could only return to the Qian's house. What records it is how he was injured at the beginning, please please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please Brother Ma take a look, then let's talk about it again. "
After looking at Qian Chao, Ma Hui lowered his head and read it.
The book "Five Spirit" is the old ancestor of Qian Chao. Qian Shoulin wrote, which recorded some of the daily things of the Wu Lingzong. In addition, he recorded some of his daily inside. Naturally, he also recorded how he was injured in detail. At that time, Qian Shoulin went out, and there were three monks with Yin Gui. Five people met a monster called "Red". Among them, the situation named Yin Gui is the most critical. Qian Shoulin is fine, but he can't bear the mouth of Yinzhui's life and beast. The wrapping of being wrapped away by the monsters is the most hated Qian Shi Lin. The people saw that they all ran away, including Yin Gui, who was rescued by himself.
After Ma Hui looked up, he looked up at the weird look at Qian Chao and asked:
"What is the name of your elder?"
"Qian Lianlin."
"Well, I haven't heard of it. At that time, I was also in Zongzong. Maybe I would have taken photos with you, but from the things I remember, alas, alas, Brother Qian, you are really your elders, you are really really your elders. One ... hehe, a good person! "
"Yeah, I thought so when I first saw it, maybe he took his own immortality when he knew unknown."
"Well, if ... this is not that Yin Qi ran away because he was afraid of the monsters?"
When Ma Hu said this, he looked at Qian Chao faintly.
"I am also worried about this. My elders did not record the names of the other three people. If there is the name of the three people, it is easy to check. And the negative righteousness still deliberately planned the elders that harmed me, if it was found ... "
If it was found that this Yin Qi really did because of the timidity, Qian Chao did not want to make this person, at most it would not have any implication with this person, but if Qian Shoulin was injured, it would be this person. This person was this person. Through the first -hand plan, even if this Yin Zhi has a teacher, Qian Chao will think of what strategies will you think of his elders!
"Brother Qian, your surname is Qian. If there is a ghost in the heart of that person, you must find that there is something wrong with you. It is better to check it. Discussion, hum, if this Yin situation is really timid, he should have no suspicion, including Brother Xun, but if he is his elder who hurts, he and the brother of the checked. Is there a matter of gentleness? "
When Qian Chao remembered that five people gathered together to analyze who wanted to kill himself, Tang Ping once said that the Tian family and the Tian family of Qi Guo who wanted to kill themselves. Emphasis, now it seems that if this Yin Gui colludes with the Tian family, it was the instructions of Qian Shoulin to be instructed by the Tian family ... So what should Wen Liang kill himself for himself? There is no grudge with Wen Liang? Even if he is really the sin of the Suo family, the first thing that should be hated should be Tang Ping and Tang Bonian. After all, Tang Bonian had nothing to do with the explanation of Wu Lingzong, but he was referring to the name of the name of the surname. Do you want to kill yourself? Hired by the Tian family? Then what benefits the Tian family gives him? If this idea is true, then this gentleman doesn't know how many family members have! (See the feather roll, 2001: Who will kill us, one)
"If it was really his elder, he would have suspicion of reporting to Wenliang ventilation." Qian Chao said.
"Okay! Then I go to check, rest assured, I will check quietly, and I won't let people notice it. After a few days, I will find you with a eyebrow."
"good!"
