Princess, please respect yourself! Chapter 76 of the text volume: East of Lord Commander’s City, Cuiyun Valley.
It is only twenty or thirty miles away from Luojing City. Outside the valley is an official road heading east, as well as Cuiyun Station, and many villages nearby.
There are many villagers living sparsely. They rely on the mountains to eat, and usually make a living by hunting, digging mountain products and medicinal herbs.
Although there is no town here, there is a market.
Where there is a market, there is a tax inspector.
Therefore, the security is much higher than that of Dangshan Mountain in the southwest of the city. Most of them are primitive mountain forests where ferocious beasts are infested. Ordinary people do not dare to live there.
Of course, there is another reason why this place is safe, that is, there is a thatched cottage in Cuiyun Valley, built on the edge of Cuiyun Creek.
The owner of the thatched cottage drew hot water from the ground and built a hot spring.
In addition to the owners of the thatched cottages, the hot springs are also used by ordinary mountain people outside. For more than 20 years, no one has dared to have the idea of a hot spring.
The owner of this thatched cottage is Wan Mohan, the former head of Zhenwu Academy.
Thirty years ago, Wan Mohan's daughter and son-in-law disappeared, and he soon became bald. Later, he failed to attack the extraordinary, and his skills declined greatly. Although he could barely maintain the realm, his combat power deteriorated to the same level as an ordinary first-level grandmaster. If he continues
Staying in the position of head of the Zhenwu Academy simply means that he has no self-awareness, so he directly chose to resign, then retreated to live in seclusion in Cuiyun Valley, living a life of seclusion like a wandering cloud and wild crane.
Because he resigned voluntarily, the emperor treated him kindly, and the treatment after his retirement was not bad. Cuiyun Valley was actually his fiefdom, but he didn't care about it and allowed the mountain people to enter, collect herbs, and hunt to make a living.
A market was born, which was extremely lively.
Only the three-thirds of an acre of the thatched cottage is his private land, and outsiders are not allowed to come in and out at will.
When Wan Qiluo disappeared, Wan Mohan was already in his fifties. Now thirty years later, he is almost ninety years old.
The loss of his daughter, the failure of the extraordinary has brought great harm to him. Thirty years ago, he could still have the cultivation level of a first-class grandmaster. Now he has a withered face, a hunched back, blurred eyes, and pain all over his body. If it weren't for
With this sight of the hot spring, I'm afraid he is no longer alive.
Now he has an old servant beside him.
The old servant is not young anymore, he is seventy years old. Probably because of the hot springs, although the old servant does not have such a high level of cultivation, he is in good health.
In addition, there is a maid who cooks and washes clothes for them. The three of them live in a thatched cottage and live a peaceful and peaceful life.
Wan Mohan also has many students, and has received several true biography. One of them is the first-grade grandmaster and vice-president of the Zhenwu Academy.
With such a student, who dares to disturb the life of this old man who has escaped from the worldly strife?
Today, this tranquility was broken.
"Mr. Liu, is the teacher here?"
The person who came was the Vice-President of the Zhenwu Academy. After three parties discussed the matter between Xiao Tianyou and Wan Qiluo, it was decided that he would explain it to Wan Mohan.
"Vice-President Yan is here. Mr. Mo has not had a good appetite recently. He has eaten a lot less than usual and his energy is not as good as before. He keeps mumbling that his end is coming..." Mr. Liu opened the door and said
He came in and murmured.
"Teacher is in ill health. Do you want me to go to the Imperial Pharmacy to ask an imperial doctor to come and take a look?" Yan Hui asked.
"No need, I know my body well!" Wan Mohan appeared at the door of the thatched cottage wearing coarse linen clothes and disheveled hair. Although his back was already hunched a lot, he still tried hard to straighten his waist, not wanting to lose a
The backbone of a warrior.
"Teacher." Yan Hui stepped forward quickly, came to Wan Mohan, and called out respectfully.
Under the loose robe, Wan Mohan actually held a cane under his palm. It was actually very difficult for him to walk.
Transcendence is actually a rebirth for a person, but if you can't survive it, your life will basically be over.
"Come in."
"Yes." Yan Hui quickly stepped forward to help him, but was pushed away by Wan Mohan. This was his last sign of stubbornness.
There is no brazier indoors, but it is as warm as spring, all because of the hot springs. The temperature in this thatched cottage is much higher than outside Cuiyun Valley.
"Teacher, Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Sister Qiluo have been found." Yan Hui took a deep breath and said slowly to Wan Mohan's back.
Wan Mohan's hand on crutches trembled obviously, and then he forcibly stabilized his shaky body, turned around slowly, opened his old eyes, and shot out a fascinating light: "Where is it?"
"Zhenwuyuan."
"Have they returned to Zhenwuyuan?"
"No, I have always been in Zhenwuyuan." Yan Hui said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"What's going on?" Wan Mohan asked, his voice obviously trembling, obviously suppressing the excitement in his heart at the moment.
Immediately, he replied and described to Wan Mohan the situation found in the underground secret room of No. 3 study room of Zizhenzhenjingshe.
After hearing this, Wan Mohan finally couldn't hold on anymore and slumped down. His old eyes turned red instantly, and two lines of turbid tears rolled down from his eyes, flowing on his face full of wrinkles. "Teacher, don't get excited. The student came here just to ask you, do you want to go to Zhenwu Academy and meet him in person?" Yan Hui helped Wan Mohan and asked.
"Who discovered Tianyou and Aluo?" Wan Mohan stood up and asked, supporting his body.
"It's from Nanya. Who is it specifically? Nanya refused to say more. He probably wanted to protect this person." Yan Hui said.
"It's not a secret that Nanya has spies in the Zhenwu Academy. If they want to protect this person, it's normal not to tell you. Then this person will not be able to stay in the Zhenwu Academy." Wan Mohan said.
, "Do you, President Jiang, have any opinions on this person?"
"Chief Jiang Yuan said that unless he takes the initiative to expose himself, we will not investigate further. After all, he also contributed to Zhenwu Yuan." Yan replied, "Even if he secretly has a close relationship with Nanya and belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, we won't care.
Even if you know who he is, you can't do anything to him. On the contrary, you will create a rift with Nanya."
"How come you don't care about this person, but the rewards I promised back then were announced to the public in the name of the Zhenwu Academy, so what will you do?"
"Teacher, you are issuing the reward on behalf of the Zhenwu Academy as the head of the academy. No one in the Zhenwu Academy objects to it. Naturally, this reward must be honored." Yan Hui said.
Before this matter came, he had discussed it with Jiang Daozong. The reputation of the Zhenwu Academy was far greater than the value of the rewards given.
"Let's go." After hearing what Yan Hui said, Wan Mohan waved his hand.
……
"Move, we live well, why do we have to move?" Hongying is very puzzled. We live well, why do we suddenly have to move next door?
"We are guests in Zhenwuyuan, and guests do as the host does." Luo Xing said hurriedly, "Is it possible that the master wants us to move to a different place, and we still have objections?"
"Could it be because of the underground secret room in the study?" Hong Ying is not stupid. Luo Xing just discovered the situation in the underground secret room in the study, and Zhenwuyuan asked them to move to the jingshe next door.
This is for no reason.
"Every move we make is under the eyes and noses of others, what do you think?"
"Then there are two corpses in the underground secret room that you discovered. They look like a newlywed couple. Is there any secret in it? Are they afraid that we will know?" Hong Ying gave full play to his abilities.
wisdom.
"Let's not speculate too much. If this is a secret that cannot be told to the outside world, if we find out, if someone really kills someone and silences them, we won't be able to fight back!" Luo Xing said.
He knew that these words could only deceive the relatively innocent Hongying. If it were the third princess of Xianyu, she would definitely not believe this rhetoric.
Without moving them away, how can we unearth the bones in the secret room beneath the study room of No. 3 Jingshe?
Just move it, it won’t be too much trouble anyway.
The layouts of the monasteries are all similar, and the layout of the monastery No. 4 next door is just the other way around. In fact, it doesn’t have much impact on them.
As soon as Luo Xing moved here, a group of people came in from No. 3 Jingshe over there, surrounded by the elderly Wan Mohan.
Thirty years.
Since his daughter Wan Qiluo's wedding, he has never set foot in this monastery. His son-in-law Xiao Tianyou does not have his own property in Luojing.
Therefore, they got married in Zhenwuyuan, and chose the No. 3 Jingshe where Xiao Tianyou lived for their new house.
However, no one expected that on the third day after the wedding, both the daughter and the son-in-law disappeared, leaving nothing behind, as if they had disappeared from the world.
He had people search through the entire No. 3 Abode, but nothing was found. Later, he continued to investigate for half a year, and even issued a huge reward.
In the end, I got nothing.
Disappointed, he decided to go into seclusion and break through to the extraordinary. However, there was a flaw in his heart, and he failed to pass the last level. He was so sad that he even had to resign as the head of the Zhenwu Academy and go to Cuiyun Valley to live in seclusion alone.
They never expected that this wedding room would become their final destination.
The movements in No. 3 Vihara cannot be hidden from the No. 4 Vihara next door, even if they come and leave quietly.
Luo Xingdu still knows.
The bones of Xiao Tianyou and "Ji Yu'er" were taken away, as well as the belongings of the two people below.
His identity as a Nan Ya secret agent probably won’t last long.
He can choose not to report it, but he must have a way to get into Nanya's secret files. Anyway, Shang Chen has always suspected his identity.
Even Hongying doesn't trust him. If this suspicion exists from the beginning, it will be very difficult to build trust.
It was me who couldn't restrain himself for a moment and committed a big taboo as an undercover agent. There is no one who doesn't make mistakes. So many spies in Nanya were destroyed in the Xirong Mission Court. He was not missing. At least things were still going well.
