Volume 1 Chapter 158 Origin
"What, you want to ......," the old man looked stunned.
"Master Gu, the matter is clear, the opportunity must not be lost, and the red-bearded man said in a deep voice: "There are disciples from all sects who have gone out to report the news, if you wait for which great ancestor to appear...... I guess we won't even be able to drink the soup. ”
"Brother Zhengwu is right. A middle-aged man nodded and said, "We have two or three days left at most, so we can only force our way into the valley." ”
The old man didn't know what to say, when he left, the situation here was confrontational and tense, and he was almost about to fight, so he revealed to Su Tang about Lei Yindu, trying to push Su Tang into troubled waters. Who knew that a few days later, all the doors were actually united, this is incredible, I knew that Lu Dao was like this, he would not have left in the first place.
The old man looked around and found that the red-bearded man was standing in the middle, and all the grandmasters around him had the meaning of being the only one, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Zhengwu, really good ability" The red-bearded man is called Zhao Zhengwu, who is a member of the Natural Sect.
Master Gu praised it. Zhao Zhengwu raised his eyebrows, he finally coaxed these well, and decided to cooperate, the old man said that he was highly capable, and there was a little taste of sowing discord, Zhao Zhengwu paused, and then said with a smile: "It's not that I am good, but that the masters know the overall situation, know the general situation, and know the truth that if you are in harmony now, you will benefit, and if you divide it, you will lose it." ”
"That's right. A middle-aged woman said slowly: "If we get the Lei Yin Decision, we can divide several copies, and each person has a copy of the Lei Yin Decision, hehe...... Even if any Great Ancestor wanted to take the secret and destroy it, it would be impossible. ”
"What do you want to do?" asked the old man.
"There are a total of three exits in the eighteen bends, and we have three people to guard the exits, and the rest of the people, in a team of two, go into the valley to search. Zhao Zhengwu said: "Although that sect has been hit hard, Lei Yin is extremely domineering, and we can't walk around alone, so as not to be taken advantage of by that thief." ”
"The peach blossom miasma in the eighteen bends is too powerful, we are not afraid, but those disciples can't stand it. The middle-aged woman said, "We can only rely on ourselves."
"However, those disciples can help us guard the exit. A middle-aged man said.
"The miasma in the valley is too thick to see, so I made these willow flutes on purpose. Zhao Zhengwu took out a small bundle of piccolos from his arms and put it on the table: "Everyone brings one, the long tone means that there is no harvest, one long and one short, which means that the trace of the thief has been found, and the short tone means that the situation is critical and needs support, do you all remember?"
The grandmasters in the room nodded their heads, each reached out and picked up a willow flute.
"Also, every hundred breaths, everyone must blow the willow flute, including those guarding the valley mouth, so that we can know our own direction and the position of our companions, and we will not lose our way. Zhao Zhengwu said.
"Makes sense. The middle-aged woman nodded.
"Master Gu. Zhao Zhengwu's gaze fell on the old man: "Do you want to go into the valley to search, or do you want to stay at the mouth of the valley?"
"I'm not interested in Lei Yin, don't count me as me. The old man said, "But...... I will always have to do some help when the time comes, so I will stay in this courtyard, and the valley mouth is below, and rest assured, that thief will not escape from me. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Zhengwu was a little surprised when he saw that the old man didn't want Lei Yindu, and then nodded: "It's okay." ”
The next moment, Zhao Zhengwu's gaze fell on Su Tang: "Where did this little friend come from?"
"I don't have a teacher. Su Tang said softly: "Moreover, I have no interest in Lei Yinju, so let's be with Gu Lao." ”
Zhao Zhengwu opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, Su Tang and the old man both admitted frankly that they were never interested in Lei Yin, that is to say, they don't have to count their share, they are willing to help guard the valley below, they have already given face, and he can't force anything.
"Everyone, remember what I said, right?" Zhao Zhengwu said: "Every hundred breaths, we must blow the willow flute and connect with each other."
"Remembered. "The Grandmasters responded unevenly.
"Sooner rather than later, we'll do it. Zhao Zhengwu said.
Just as everyone was walking outside, the old man suddenly shouted, "Brother Zhengwu, who discovered this courtyard?"
"It's me. Zhao Zhengwu said: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. The old man smiled and said, "This place is deep and quiet, but it is a good place to live in seclusion." ”
"Master Gu is really good at laughing. Zhao Zhengwu said: "You are in a bright spirit, it is the time to show your ambitions, how can you talk about seclusion?"
Zhao Zhengwu left with his people, and the disciples who were responsible for assisting in guarding the valley mouth were divided into two groups, one group stayed near the valley mouth, and the other group stood on the cliff, condescending and looking into the distance.
The cabin became quiet, and the old man surnamed Gu frowned and paced slowly in the room.
Su Tang leaned against the door frame, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and faintly watched the mist in the eighteen bends in the distance, and after a long time, he spoke: "Old Gu, what are you thinking?"
"It's a little weird...... the old man surnamed Gu sighed: "Human nature is greedy, and the desire is endless, if everything can be so sincere and cooperative, where can there be so many disputes in the world?"
"You always mean ......"
The old man surnamed Gu didn't speak, he gently wiped the dust on the table with his fingertips, and then leaned down and observed the floor, this small wooden house should have not been inhabited for a long time, the floor, window sill, tables and chairs were full of thick dust, and the old man surnamed Gu didn't know what Lu Dao wanted to do, he touched everywhere, and the wine jar in the corner of the wall was turned over, and he picked it up with his hands.
"Old Gu?"
The old man surnamed Gu didn't hear it, he was thinking about something intently.
Su Tang shook his head and shifted his gaze to the entourage, they seemed to be scared, and whenever his gaze turned away, they immediately avoided it, and when he looked away, they secretly aimed at themselves.
The old man surnamed Gu put his hands behind his back and began to walk around the cabin again, his eyes were a little dazed and dazed, as if he had wandered away.
Walking back and forth for more than a dozen times, when the old man surnamed Gu turned around, he unconsciously grabbed a broom in the corner of the wall and slowly swept it on the floor, although he didn't seem to know what he was doing at all, but his movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water.
There was a lot of dust in the cabin, and Su Tang couldn't help frowning, and shouted, "Old Gu?"
The old man surnamed Gu still didn't hear it, although his movements were not very fast, but they were extremely efficient, and every time the broom swept the area, the edges were exactly next to each other, and they would not overlap or waste.
"Old Gu?" Su Tang raised his voice.
"Huh?" The old man surnamed Gu woke up like a dream and looked at Su Tang blankly.
"What are you doing?" asked Su Tang.
The old man surnamed Gu looked at the broom in his hand, his face immediately became unnatural, and he smiled: "Hehe...... Got used to, got used to it...... Ha lu haha. With that, he threw the broom back into the corner.
Su Tang shook his head helplessly, the old man surnamed Gu put his hands behind his back and began to circle around the room, he should be a very stubborn person, if something can't be figured out, he can't put it down gently.
At this time, the sound of a willow flute faintly came from the eighteen bends, Su Tang looked back at the dusty room, he didn't want to go in, and shouted, "Old Gu." ”
The old man surnamed Gu had already entered a certain state, and he couldn't hear the sound of the outside world, so he naturally wouldn't respond, Su Tang had to close his breath, walked in quickly, grabbed a willow flute, and walked out again, looking at the dirty, dusty willow flute, he grinned, and just saw a young disciple walking past the courtyard, so he beckoned and shouted, "Come here." ”
The young disciple walked into the courtyard and said with a smile, "Master, what are your orders?"
"You're in charge of playing the flute. Su Tang said: "The long tone means that the situation is safe and sound, and I didn't find it, one long and one short means that I saw the trace of the thief, and the short sound means that the situation is critical and needs support, remember?"
"Remembered, remembered. The young disciple said in unison.
"When you hear the sound of a flute in the valley, you respond with a flute, and go. Su Tang said.
After almost ten minutes, the dust drifting in the cabin finally fell almost, the more Su Tang looked at the old man surnamed Gu, the more interesting he felt, when he was engrossed in thinking about the problem, he would even forget to use his internal breath to protect himself, this place is located on the edge of the mountain cliff, the mountain wind is cold, the sky is full of peach blossoms, there is no sunlight, the temperature is much lower than elsewhere, the old man surnamed Gu is pale, and his body is a little rickety, as if he feels a chill.
Su Tang took out a small wine bag from his arms, walked over and handed it to the old man surnamed Gu: "This wine is not bad, drink two sips to warm up." ”
The old man surnamed Gu walked over with blank eyes as if he hadn't seen anything, and pushed Su Tang's hand aside with his body.
Su Tang was really helpless, took two sips of wine, and then saw the broom in the corner, walked over and grabbed the broom, and handed it to the old man surnamed Gu, he just wanted to see what the other party's reaction was this time.
Strange things appeared, the old man surnamed Gu couldn't see Su Tang, but he could see the broom, so he naturally took it, bent down and began to sweep the floor again.
The black line on Su Tang's head, this product can't be from sweeping the floor, right? There is nothing left in his eyes, only a broom can be seen...... I can't explain it
Su Tang raised his hand and patted it on the shoulder of the old man surnamed Gu, the eyes of the old man surnamed Gu immediately regained their divine light, and his body tensed, and the aura released from the outside shook and pushed away all the dust that had just been raised, he first turned his head sideways, looked at Su Tang's hand with the corner of his eye, and then slowly turned around and looked at Su Tang.
Su Tang was staring at the broom, the old man surnamed Gu was stunned for a moment, followed Su Tang's line of sight, and immediately showed a look of anger, and then viciously threw the broom out of the window.
"You're always reassuring to me. Su Tang said with a smile, and then took his hand back.
The old man surnamed Gu was completely defenseless just now, if Su Tang wanted to do something, even if the old man surnamed Gu had a hundred lives, it would not be enough for him to die.
The old man surnamed Gu smiled awkwardly, and just wanted to speak, when there was a sudden commotion outside.
