At this time, Xu Qing suddenly remembered something and said to Li Bai: "The current matter is quite troublesome and very urgent."
"What's the matter?"
"The Oath-clearing Conference stipulates that to restore Tang Ming Pavilion's identity, we must obtain the certificates and guarantees of three Tang Ming Pavilion masters at the Oath-clearing Conference, but so far we have not found three pavilion masters who can help us. Originally, Huo Lei and I were included.
There is only one pavilion master missing, but unfortunately Huo Lei suffered an unexpected incident, so we still need to find two more pavilion masters."
When Li Bai heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Uncle, do you have any friendship with other pavilion masters?"
"Yes, and they had promised to help, but a few days ago they wrote a letter and regretted it at the same time, without saying the reason. Later, after I repeatedly begged, one of the pavilion masters secretly told me that someone had put pressure on them, saying that they could not give us a guarantee.
, otherwise the consequences will be serious.”
"Is there such a thing? Is this person Murong Canghai?"
"I thought so at first, but the pavilion master denied it, but he refused to say who this person was."
"If it's not Murong Canghai, is he from Tongtian Sect? They also have many followers in Tangming Pavilion."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but if there is no guarantee from the three pavilion masters, you will not be vindicated and will be regarded as Tangming Pavilion rebels and will be removed from Tangming Pavilion. Then your ambition of being the leader of the martial arts alliance will be impossible to realize.
!”
When Sima Heng heard this, he became a little anxious, "Is it so serious? Then we need to find other pavilion masters for help as soon as possible."
Li Bai said: "Yes, there are more than 1,500 pavilion masters in Tangming Pavilion. I don't believe that we can't find three people to guarantee us. From tomorrow on, we will split up and visit more pavilion masters in Yangzhou. We must solve the problem
this problem."
Early the next morning, Li Bai ordered everyone to go to Yangzhou City to inquire about the pavilion master who had arrived in Yangzhou. However, after searching all day, he could not find even a pavilion master.
This is very abnormal.
That night, Li Bai called everyone together to discuss countermeasures.
Li Bai said: "Now it is obvious that someone is behind the plan. The oath meeting will be held the day after tomorrow. We don't have much time left. Do you think you have any good suggestions?"
Meng Haoran said: "I have a long-standing friendship with Liu Zhiguang, the master of Tangming Pavilion in Anlu. I happened to meet him when I first arrived in Yangzhou two months ago, and we went to the inn where he stayed to drink with him. But when I went to see him yesterday, the inn
The waiter told me that Liu Zhiguang was taken away five days ago, and the waiter just heard that the person who took Liu Zhiguang away said that he was going to Qingzhu Villa."
"Qingzhu Villa?"
"Yes, I asked someone about it. Qingzhu Villa is in the north of the city. It was built by Yu Jing, a local wealthy man. Because it is located in a remote place, few people go there."
"I feel that there is something wrong with Qingzhu Villa." Li Bai thought for a while and continued: "Brother Meng, how about we go explore Qingzhu Villa together tomorrow?"
Meng Haoran nodded and said: "I also have this idea, but I think since there is a problem in the villa, then we don't want to visit openly. How about we do a spy?"
"spy?"
"Yes, and let's go to Yetan Villa now!"
Li Bai thought for a while and said, "Okay! Let's explore the villa at night!" After saying that, he turned to Xu Qing and said, "Uncle, I will leave it to you to take charge. You can continue to think of other ways."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "No problem, you have to be careful!"
Sima Heng said: "Li Bai, shall I go with you?"
Li Bai waved his hand: "No, since you are a spy, the fewer people there, the better. You should stay here to discuss countermeasures and protect the house. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen in the past two days."
When Sima Heng heard this, he thought about it and said, "Well, you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, with the martial arts skills of Brother Meng and I, what can happen if we visit the villa?" After saying that, Li Bai and Meng Haoran left the house, used Ling Yunfei, and flew straight to the north of the city.
When we reached the north of the city, there was no moonlight, the people had all fallen asleep, and everything was dark.
"Where is Qingzhu Villa?" Li Bai asked.
Meng Haoran looked around for a while and said: "I have already inquired about it. Qingzhu Villa is on the edge of the bamboo forest in the north of the city. We will naturally find it when we find the bamboo forest."
Bamboo forest? This is much easier than finding a villa.
So Li Bai took Meng Haoran and flew around looking for bamboo forests.
After a while, the two finally discovered a bamboo forest in a remote place near the West Lake. Next to the bamboo forest, there was a very spacious house. There was candlelight shining through the house, adding a touch of tranquility to this remote place.
angry.
The two stopped in front of the house. Through the light of the oil lamp in front of the door, they could vaguely see the four characters "Qingzhu Villa" written on the plaque on the door.
There are four people wearing servants' clothes guarding the door of the house, but judging from the breathing of these four people, the internal strength of the four people is not weak, and they are obviously martial arts masters.
Meng Haoran said softly: "In a secluded place, with four masters guarding the gate, this Qingzhu Villa is getting more and more problematic."
Li Bai nodded and said, "Yes, let's go in and explore to see what medicine he sells in his gourd." After that, he picked up Ling Yunfei and took Meng Haoran and flew into the house from high altitude.
After entering the house, they flew to the roof of a brightly lit hall, each opened a crack in the tiles, and peeked in secretly.
I saw that the hall was full of people at this moment, about three to four hundred people. All of these people were calm and solemn, and they were steady and practiced. They were undoubtedly masters.
Meng Haoran said softly to Li Bai: "Sitting on the edge of the fifth row inside, the person wearing a plain long coat is Liu Zhiguang, the master of Tangming Pavilion in Anlu."
Li Bai looked at it and said, "If I guessed correctly, all the people here are the masters of Tangming Pavilion. Look, the one sitting in the middle of the first row is Wang Ji who notarized us yesterday? There are also those next to him
They are the other nine pavilion masters."
Meng Haoran took a look and saw that it was them. He asked doubtfully: "There are so many pavilion masters gathered at Qingzhu Villa all at once. What's the hidden secret?"
Just as he was talking, an old man of about sixty years old suddenly walked out of the inner hall. He was wearing embroidered brocade, with a big face and thick lips, and a look of happiness.
When everyone saw them, they all stood up and saluted, "Hello, Master Yu! Hello, Master Yu!"
It turned out that this person was Yu Jing, the owner of Qingzhu Villa.
Yu Jing bowed his hands and returned the greeting to everyone, saying: "You're welcome, masters of the pavilion, please take a seat!" After saying that, he sat directly on the main seat in the middle of the hall.
"Every Pavilion Master has taken the Green Bamboo Snake Pill for five days. How is the effect of your practice now?"
A bearded pavilion master next to him said: "Master Yu's Green Bamboo Snake Pill is indeed a rare treasure. We have taken it for a few days, and our internal strength has greatly increased. Some pavilion masters have even achieved breakthroughs!"
When Yu Jing heard this, he was very satisfied and said with a smile: "That's good. As long as you eat for three more days, I can guarantee that your internal strength will be able to break through!"
When everyone heard this, they all bowed their hands and thanked him.
At this time, Wang Ji stood up and raised his hands to Yu Jing and said: "Master Yu, Mr. Wang has two questions that he would like to ask the master?"
Yu Jing returned the greeting with his hands raised, and said: "Pavilion Master Wang, do you have any questions?"
"The first question is, why is Master Yu treating us so well? Is it just that you love making friends? The second question is, when can we see the Green Snake Dragon Pill?"
Green Snake Dragon Pill?
Li Bai was startled. He heard his master Zhao Rui say that the Green Snake Dragon Pill is a sacred medicine in martial arts. It is refined from the gallbladder of the strange beast Green Snake Dragon. If you eat this medicine, you will be immune to all poisons, and your internal energy will be instantly restored.
After breaking through to the first level, I never expected that the owner of Qingzhu Villa would have such a treasure.
