Chapter 223
Just when Zhao Shoujian was sitting on the Chaoyang Peak of Huashan Mountain, he wanted to go down the mountain immediately to hunt down the man in black.
On this day, Linghu Chong came to the other courtyard.
Zhao Shoujian, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui followed the elder brother's old practice and respectfully invited the master to drink in the elder brother's room.
Linghu Chong drank the good wine that Zhao Shougian bought specially to flatter him, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he missed the Shao Knife that his eldest disciple had bought for him.
After drinking half a bottle of wine, he looked at Zhao Shoujian, who was standing respectfully by the side, sighed secretly, and asked: "Shoujian, there is still no news about your senior brother?"
Zhao Shoujian cupped his hands and replied: "Master, no. I have told several junior brothers and sisters that the first task after coming down the mountain is to find the senior brother, but there is still no trace of the senior brother."
"Oh, Haichuan went to Jiangnan to investigate his life experience. Maybe no clues have been found yet. After all, decades have passed. He must be in a bad mood, so he doesn't want to interact with Jianghu." Linghu Chong comforted Zhao Shojian and also
Comforting myself.
Zhao Shojian rolled his eyes inwardly and thought to himself, Master, are you too biased? Those of us who dare not return to the mountain for three months will have to go up Siguo Cliff. The senior brother has not been back for half a year, and you are still making excuses for him!
He cursed secretly, but did not dare to show it on his face. He carefully agreed with Linghu Chong's opinion. Yes, senior brother must have been delayed by something...
The two of them discussed for a while, and both felt that maybe it was just as they said, and Li Jiang was tripped up by something. As for Li Jiang being tricked by someone, they were not worried at all. In the eyes of the master and apprentice,
Come on, with Li Jiang's martial arts skills, it would be fine if he didn't go black.
Just as the two were chatting away, suddenly, with a "bang", the door was opened and Sun Zhuoyan barged in.
Zhao Shoujian frowned and scolded: "Lao Wu, how can you act so recklessly? What do I usually ask of you?"
When Sun Zhuoyan saw him putting on the airs of a senior brother, he couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Second senior brother, I have something urgent to do with the master, do you still want me to tell you?"
"You..." Zhao Shoujian was about to get angry, but was interrupted by Linghu Chong, who said: "Okay, he was just anxious and made an unintentional mistake."
After that, he asked again: "Zhuoyan, what's the urgent matter?"
Sun Zhuoyan cupped his fists and said: "Master, when I was doing business at Jade Girl Peak, I happened to meet Master Mo from Hengshan Mountain on his way to Huashan Mountain. He said he had something to do with you. Master Feng asked me to come and invite you back as soon as possible."
"Huh? What does he want from me?" Linghu Chong looked confused, put down the wine bottle and walked out.
The two apprentices quickly followed him and sent him outside the platform.
Linghu Chong thought that something big had happened in Jianghu, otherwise Mo Da would not come to his door, so he used Qinggong and returned to Jade Girl Peak without even a stick of incense.
Feng Fei was guarding the gate of Huashan Sect. When he saw Linghu Chong, he immediately came up to him and said, "Uncle Mo is waiting for you at Zhengqi Hall."
"Did he say anything to do with me?" Linghu Chong asked as he walked.
Feng Fei shook his head and said, "No, but he doesn't look very good. Maybe something serious has happened."
Linghu Chong nodded and accelerated towards the direction of Zhengqi Hall.
As soon as he entered the Zhengqi Hall, Linghu Chong complained to Mo Da who was sitting upright, saying that he went to Chaoyang Peak to teach his disciples today and did not greet Master Mo personally and kept him waiting for so long, which was really rude.
Mo Da didn't take it seriously, and after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Linghu Chong asked Mo Da's reason for coming.
Mo Da's face, which had been smiling just now, immediately turned gloomy, and he said to Linghu Chong: "Chong'er, I have something to ask you. Please call your two junior brothers out!"
After hearing what he said was serious, Linghu Chong had no choice but to wave to Qiao Lingfeng, who was accompanying the guests, and Feng Fei, who came in behind, and asked them to leave.
After the two of them went out, Mo Da listened carefully to what was going on around him and then asked, "Chong'er, is your eldest disciple Li Jiang on the mountain?"
Seeing Mo Da's mysterious demeanor, Linghu Chong began to feel nervous and asked quickly: "Uncle Mo, what happened to Haichuan?"
Mo Da shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Just tell me, is he in Huashan?"
As long as nothing happens to Haichuan, it will be fine. This is so scary! Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "He went to Jiangnan to find relatives, not in Huashan."
"How long has it been since he came down the mountain?" Mo Da asked.
"More than half a year." Linghu Chong didn't understand what Mo Da meant, but he answered truthfully.
"Oh..." Mo Da leaned back on the chair and his eyes began to twinkle.
There was no movement for a while, and Linghu Chong couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Uncle Mo, do you have anything to do with Haichuan?"
Mo Da's eyes flashed and he said, "Chong'er, do you know that a man in black appeared in Jianghu more than half a year ago?"
Linghu Chong saw that his answer was wrong, and he was stunned for a moment before saying, "I know, I heard it from my junior brothers and disciples who came back to the mountain. They said that he is masked in black clothes, has strong martial arts, and specializes in stealing people's skills. Haha, I thought he was
I was going to come to Huashan, but I didn’t expect to be able to come for a long time, which is extremely disappointing!”
"Chong'er, have you ever thought that this man in black is your eldest disciple Li Jiang!" Mo Da said in a solemn tone.
Huh? These words struck Linghu Chong like a bolt of lightning, making him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. His mouth was open wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
After finally getting rid of the fear in his heart, Linghu Chong forced a smile and said: "Uncle Mo, how could you have such a ridiculous idea? If you don't say that Haichuan is not that kind of person, it is impossible to say that he is him. How can he know how to use a knife?
Law?"
"You haven't taught him sword skills, so he can't know how to use swords?" Mo Da asked in return.
"Impossible, I checked when he entered the school. He doesn't know martial arts." Linghu continued to shake his head.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Mo Da changed the subject and said, "Chong'er, do you still remember the first time I saw Li Jiang when we went to Qinghai to wipe out the Wusheng sect a few years ago?
"Remember, you mistook Li Jiang for the enemy of the Hengshan Sect who broke into you at night." Linghu Chong thought for a moment and replied.
"At that time, I was worried about annihilating the Wusheng sect together, so I didn't tell you clearly the specific situation of my encounter with the man in black that night. I will tell you in detail today." Mo Da said seriously.
Next, Mo Da talked about that old incident. He told the swordsmanship, body shape, tone of voice, and mask of the man in black in detail. Finally, he also analyzed
The time when Li Jiang became a member of the Huashan Sect was shortly after the men in black left Hengshan.
What's even more strange is that after Li Jiang joined Huashan, the man in black disappeared from the world.
