In Zhongyuan Hall, Yi Xifeng did not expect that Elder Zeng Feng's reaction would be so strong. He thought to himself: "I know you are against the divine religion, but you won't be so exaggerated, right?"
"Second Elder, don't get angry, and listen to what Elder Li continues." The white-haired old man stopped him.
As soon as these words came out, the second elder calmed down again and waited for Yi Xifeng to speak.
The fair young man glanced at Zeng Feng, then looked away and spoke again:
"The loose cultivators on the sea are already interested in forming an alliance, but I don't know what the elders think about it yet."
At this time, the scene fell into silence. The first person to break the atmosphere was the hall master. He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Since it is to pave the way for the successors of Zhenwu Hall, I naturally agree to this matter."
After thinking for a moment, the great elder nodded and said calmly: "I have no objection."
The second elder calmed down and continued: "I have no objection."
"Well, let's decide that in three days, Elder Keqing and Great Elder will lead some disciples with strong martial arts to go to sea to negotiate. As for Elder Li, remember to take your token."
After saying this, he saw a flash of green light and rushed out in an instant. Yi Xifeng, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the green light and found a sapphire waist badge with the word "Ke Qing" engraved on it.
The fair young man looked at the token and muttered to himself: "Am I going to grow old now?!"
Immediately, an old voice sounded in Yi Xifeng's mind.
"Come to Zhongyuan Hall at midnight tonight."
The fair young man knew as soon as he heard the message that it was the hall master who was transmitting the message. Although he had doubts in his heart, he showed an extremely calm expression on the outside. He looked around and found that no one else had noticed. It must be that the message was transmitted by Hall Master Lu alone.
.
At this point, recent discussions have come to an end.
Yi Xifeng thought to himself: "Since we have the power of the elders, it will be in vain if we don't use it."
Later, when the fair young man walked out of the hall, the boy who originally led him into the hall immediately changed his words. He bowed and respectfully called "Elder Li".
Yi Xifeng took a long breath to calm down. It was obvious that he had not adapted to this change yet.
After leaving the main hall, the fair young man walked directly in the direction of the Hidden Gong Pavilion, not wanting to take advantage of the bastard.
The disciples outside the hall didn't know what happened yet, but they saw that the boy actually called "Li Chengtao" "Elder Li", which made them confused. Didn't they call him "Senior Brother Li" when they entered just now? Why did he call him "Senior Brother Li" now?
Became "Elder Li"?
…………
Late at night, outside the courtyard gate of Modan Palace, a man in black hurried over with a collection of letters. Wei Wuji was meditating and resting.
"Master Wei, please receive the secret message."
After saying that, a white light flashed from the man's sleeve, and the young man in purple put his fingers together and caught him firmly.
Wei Wuji opened the letter and quickly read it, then returned the envelope and said:
"Go ahead, I have to practice tonight. If you have nothing important to do, don't disturb me."
"Yes, I'm resigning." After a few ups and downs, the man in black disappeared.
After he left, Wei Wuji put on night clothes and then disappeared into the night.
…………
Coincidentally, Yi Xifeng had also changed into night clothes at this time. From the hall master's voice transmission, it was not difficult to tell that tonight's matter was a secret meeting, otherwise it would not have been hidden from the first elder and the second elder.
The figure of the fair-skinned young man kept leaping on the rooftops of the Zhenwu Hall, and after a while he arrived at the Zhongyuan Hall. Suddenly, a message came into his mind.
"In the study room of the inner hall, the candle wax on the left side is movable."
Yi Xifeng looked left and right and found that there was no one around him, and he didn't know where the hall master had sent him the message. However, since the other party asked him to go to the study, he didn't hesitate too much and started there.
When he came to the study, he opened the door and saw the candle lamp on the left. The fair young man fumbled with it for a long time and didn't know how to move it. He couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"The hall master said he could move, but he didn't say how to move?"
Yi Xifeng was confused when he accidentally pulled out the candle he was touching. At this moment, he heard a slight "click" sound from the bookshelf, as if something had been opened.
The fair young man put the candle back in its place and walked straight to the bookshelf. He pushed it aside and saw a narrow secret passage in front of him. It was not clear where the secret passage led to.
.
Yi Xifeng walked into the secret passage with doubts. As soon as he entered, he heard another sound from the bookshelf outside and took the initiative to seal the entrance to the secret passage. Fortunately, there was a switch in the secret passage beside him, so he didn't have to worry about being blocked inside.
.
After a while, the fair young man saw a bright light below, and walked quickly along the steps. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be an underground palace.
In the palace, a white-haired old man was reading books beside the desk. Yi Xifeng walked up and asked:
"What's the matter with the hall master calling me here?"
Lu Chengsan put away the book, turned around and smiled at the fair young man:
"We discussed this morning. I have had close contact with Elder Wu Xi and Elder Zeng Feng. What do you think? What do you think of these two people?"
Yi Xifeng was stunned. He didn't expect Hall Master Lu to ask this question first. He thought for a moment and then answered:
"I don't know why, the first elder feels more friendly to me, but the second elder... to be honest, I can't understand this person."
"Oh? My little friend is talking like this, is it because he refuted you during the discussion?" the white-haired old man replied.
Yi Xifeng shook his head and replied:
"That's not true. Everyone can see that the second elder is an anti-theistic person, and he is also in charge of most of the affairs of the Zhenwu Hall, and manages them in an orderly manner. Logically speaking, he should be a smart man, but his actions today show that
It doesn’t sound like it’s such a simple question as ‘worship the god and welcome the saint’. I think even the third elder can figure it out, but he can’t figure it out?”
After hearing this, Hall Master Lu just smiled and did not answer the question.
"In short, although the second elder said that this banner undermines the prestige of the Zhenwu Hall, it doesn't feel like he is resisting the divine religion, but more like he is resisting our alliance with the casual cultivators on the sea."
"Well, after all, the old man called me here tonight. The specific reason has not been made clear yet."
As the white-haired old man spoke, he pointed to the blue and white futon beside him and motioned for him to sit down.
After Yi Xifeng sat down, the hall master spoke again and said:
"Do you still remember your elder token?"
The fair young man suddenly came to his senses, and he almost forgot about Elder Keqing.
The white-haired old man continued:
"I have a condition for uniting the casual cultivators. I also want to ask my friend to help me get rid of a person from the cult."
Yi Xifeng looked puzzled and asked: "A person from the Divine Religion? Who is it?"
Lu Chengsan looked stern and said in a deep voice: "Second Elder, Zeng Feng."
The fair young man was shocked in his heart. Such a person who was anti-theistic was actually a member of theistic religion!
