Chapter 425: Seeing the Truth

Not only Lin Jue was amazed, but Ruan Ping and Gao Muqing were also stunned by the pattern in front of them. The three of them smacked their tongues in surprise, and when they were amazed, a figure came quickly from the shadow of the mountain and rock. It was seven or eight heavily armed bandits.

"Who?" Someone shouted.

"Brother Ma? It's us, we've come to see the owner of the village, and the person who healed the lady has come. Dong Kui arched his hand.

"It turned out to be the second village master and the third village master, please come with me, the big village master is waiting for you." The diminutive mountain bandit at the head laughed.

"There's the Rauma brothers." Dong Kui said with a smile.

The man waved his hand and turned, and the group followed him down a cloister, and a moment later a bright light shone through the long window of a house behind a row of flowers and trees. At the doorway, two maidservants were standing with their hands down.

"The master of the big village, the master of the second village and the master of the third village are here." The guard, surnamed Ma, stood in the doorway and shouted at the thick curtain.

"Come in." An old voice came through the curtain. Hearing this, Gao Muqing's body shook slightly. Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing, Gao Muqing nodded lightly, and Lin Jue also nodded lightly. He knew that the person who spoke was Zuo Zongdao, Gao Muqing's voice. Lin Jue's heartbeat was a little faster, he didn't know this Zuo Zongdao at all, and he didn't have any special feelings for him. But after this period of time, hearing about his career and the hidden experience of coming to the cottage of the divine dragon without seeing the end made Lin Jue have some expectations for this Zuo Zongdao. Can't wait to see what kind of guy this guy is.

The curtain was lifted, and light came through. Several people walked slowly into the room. The room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, and a square table was placed on the side, and there were two people standing there, who were the two Langzhong. The two men bowed silently to the crowd.

Lin Jue's eyes roamed around the room, and what was completely different from what he imagined was that the furnishings in this room were not luxurious, just some normal furnishings, which were not as good as Lin Jue's residence in Hangzhou. A table, a few wooden chairs, and a wooden incense burner are placed in the corner. There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Other than that, there's nothing special about it. At the side door, a beaded curtain swayed slightly, exuding a faint brilliance, which was the only bright spot in the room.

Except for the two Lang Zhong and a maidservant girl holding a copper basin standing at the vertical door, Zuo Zongdao was not seen in the room. However, it is conceivable that inside the bead curtain of the hanging door is the inner room, and Zuo Zongdao must be in the inner room.

"Lord Dazhai, brother brought people to you." Dong Kui arched his hand behind the bead curtain of the hanging door.

"Good! It's hard work, you guys are very good, and you still think about Mrs. Very good. There was a hint of coldness in Zuo Zongdao's old voice.

"Serving the owner and wife of Dazhai is what we should do." Dong Kui and Qian Bao said in unison.

"Good, good." Zuo Zongdao.

"Are people from Beishan Dazhai here?" Zuo Zongdao's voice sounded.

Dong Kui hurriedly turned around and gestured to the three of them. Ruan Ping, Lin Jue, and Gao Muqing stepped forward and saluted the shaking bead curtain.

"I have seen the lord of Zuo Dazhai, in Xia Ruan Ping, and came to Guizhai to make a covenant on the order of the lord of my family. These two are Brother Fang and Brother Gao, and they are my deputies. ”

"I've seen the owner of Zuo Dazhai." Lin Jue and Gao Muqing bowed their heads and saluted the bead curtain.

There was no sound in the curtain, but the three of them seemed to feel a sharp gaze peeking on the three of them, and they felt uncomfortable. Lin Jue felt that this scene was very ridiculous, Zuo Zongdao was incorrigible, and he still refused to see anyone at this time, so he let the three of them salute against a curtain, as if talking to the air. What did Zuo Zongdao think of himself? Do you really think you are the emperor of the Ninety-Five? Can't be easily seen? In addition to being ridiculous, Lin Jue was also a little worried, although Gao Muqing was disguised, if he was recognized by Zuo Zongdao, it would be troublesome.

After an embarrassing silence, Zuo Zongdao seemed to have seen enough of the three of them from beginning to end, and his voice sounded again.

"The three brothers have worked hard. The lord of Ruan Zhai is hard. I was unable to see you in person due to my wife's illness, and I hope you will bear with me. Your Bao Dazhai master said that he was sick, right? ”

"Exactly, the master of my family is sick, otherwise he would definitely come in person this time. The owner of Dazhai has a handwritten letter and asked me to bring it to the owner of Zuo Dazhai. Ruan Ping arched his hand.

"Okay, you can put it on the table. Go back and ask the owner of your house to take care of himself. ”

Ruan Ping rolled his eyes, promised in his mouth, but thought in his heart: When he arrived in this house, he still refused to accept the letter with his own hands, this old dog is really hypocritical. One of his original plans was to use the opportunity of the letter to get close to him and assassinate him. Now it seems that this plan has been a complete failure. There was simply no chance to get close to him.

"Which one is Brother Fang?" Zuo Zongdao's voice sounded.

Lin Jue hurriedly arched his hand and said: "In the forest below, I have seen the master of Zuo Dazhai. ”

"Oh, that's you. Thank you, your prescription does have some effect, and Mrs. has been much better after taking the medicine. ”

"I can do my part for my wife's illness and do what I need to do in the next part." Lin Juedao.

"Hehe, okay. Where are you from, and where did you learn this medicine? You have such craftsmanship, how did you end up in the barberry mountains? Zuo Zongdao suddenly asked a few questions in a row.

Lin Jue frowned and was silent. Ruan Ping anxiously motioned for Lin Jue to answer, but Lin Jue turned a deaf ear.

"What? Brother Fang doesn't want to answer my words? Zuo Zongdao's cold voice sounded again.

Lin Jue was reluctant to answer, but he didn't expect Zuo Zongdao to ask these questions like a household registration. He wanted to make it up, but suddenly realized that this was a temptation of Zuo Zongdao. I can make up lies and perfunctory, but there will inevitably be flaws. Zuo Zongdao may be looking for this flaw, and he can't get through by making up lies by himself. Instead, the easiest and most effective way is to refuse to answer outright.

"It's not that I don't want to, but the past is unbearable, and I don't want to mention it again. I am only a person in the Barberry Mountains now, and everything I used to have lost has long since been thrown out of the clouds. Please don't ask me about the previous things. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue was so direct, Dong Kui and Qian Leopard were very stunned, and sweated for Lin Jue. No one dares to talk to the owner of Zuo Dazhai like this, this is like a direct refusal to contradict it.

There was no sound in the curtain, and everyone thought that Lin Jue's answer had made Zuo Zongdao dissatisfied, and everyone was worried. But suddenly there was a laugh out of the curtain.

"Hehehe, well said. Anyone who comes to my Barberry Mountain has an unbearable past. Once you enter the green forest and fall into the grass, you will be like a monk, and the front edge is all gone, so why bother to remember those things. Brother Fang is right, it's the old man who shouldn't ask, hehehe. ”

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zuo Zongdao was not only not angry, but also sighed.

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "It's rude." ”

Zuo Zongdao snorted and said, "Brother Fang, are you sure that my wife's illness can be cured?" I've heard them say that you seem to have some accomplishments in medicine. ”

Lin Jue said: "Don't dare, doctors only treat the living, and those who will die if they don't heal." I didn't diagnose my wife's condition myself, so I didn't dare to say that I could be cured. Please understand. ”

Zuo Zongdao coughed and said, "That's right, then you can come in and personally diagnose my wife's condition." If you can cure my wife's illness, I will thank you profusely. ”

Lin Jue suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice: "I will do my best in the next place, and I don't dare to slack off." ”

There was a light footstep in the curtain, and the figures of two maidservants appeared in the beaded curtain. Two hands and one person gently lifted the beaded curtain, revealing the overlapping white curtains inside.

"Brother Fang, please come in."

Lin Jue sighed and walked towards the hanging door. Ruan Ping and Gao Muqing subconsciously followed him, but were stopped by Dong Biao and Qian Bao.

"The two of you are waiting here, it is the inner room, and it is inconvenient for the two of you to enter. Brother Fang went to see his wife's illness. What are you going to do when you go in? Dong Biao said.

Ruan Ping frowned and stopped, Gao Muqing also looked at Lin Jue's back with concern, and watched him walk behind the curtain door. The bead curtain fell, and the beads hit with a crisp 'crackling' sound, and Lin Jue's figure became blurred behind the curtain until it was gone.

Behind the bead curtain, Lin Jue stood in the midst of the heavy curtains, looking confused. The moment he came in, he didn't see Zuo Zongdao's figure, only the thick curtain in front of him, which was windless and automatic.

Two maidservants led the way, and they lifted the curtains one after another, guiding Lin Jue into the curtains. Every time a curtain entered, the curtain behind it fell silently. The curtains are like gates, and everything in front of you is like a labyrinth of mystery. As the curtain was rolled, some timid eyes from the side looked behind the curtain, accompanied by the sound of some small and audible footsteps. Occasionally, the backs of several women can be seen flashing away.

Lin Jue was very speechless, Zuo Zongdao didn't know what the hell was going on, this should be his inner bedroom, but it was still so complicated and deep, people didn't know why. Could it be that this Dao curtain is to hide the guards, could it be that Zuo Zongdao's sense of security has been so lacking?

After seven or eight curtains, he walked no less than thirty paces. This distance shows how spacious the inner chamber is. Lin Jue also suddenly understood, it turned out that the room in front of him was in the courtyard clearing, and the inner room in the second half was deeply embedded in the rock wall, otherwise how could there be such a long length, how could there be such a large space.

Finally, after the last curtain was raised, Lin Jue saw the incense burner curling around the tables, chairs, and gums, the length of the Yaoqin, seven or eight maidservants standing in a row, and a tall and burly figure sitting on the side of the gums. The man was dressed in white, with gray hair, and a dignified appearance, staring at him with blazing eyes. Lin Jue knew that this person was Zuo Zongdao. However, Zuo Zongdao's image was completely different from what he imagined, but he didn't expect Zuo Zongdao to be a dignified-looking old man, rather than the thin and capable image of a person who was too thoughtful and shrewd in his mind. At a glance, when you see Zuo Zongdao, you will think that he is a respected master in a certain academy, and there is no bit of gangsterism on his body, but it seems to be a little weird immortal.
