After Shangguan Yi and Ting'er had a meal, he told Ting'er to have a good rest and then left Yaowang Valley. Like Ting'er, he was looking forward to Yunfeng's return to Yaowang Valley soon.
Although the Great Elder and others did not know that Yunfeng had left Yaowang Valley, they knew that Yunfeng did not seem to be in his yard.
The Great Elder knew that Yunfeng and Ting'er had been very close recently, so he asked Elder Feng to check out Ting'er's message. Elder Feng went to Ting'er's yard as a token of his purpose, and then told Ting'er about the incident.
Naturally, he knew what to say without Ting'er's instructions, but he still had to do these things.
After driving from Ting'er's yard, he went directly back to the great elder, seemingly not wanting to delay for a moment.
The Great Elder naturally felt very proud when he saw Elder Feng working so actively for him.
Elder Feng told the elder as planned with Ting'er. Seeing the elder narrowing his eyes slightly and not speaking, he continued: "This is what happened. Yunfeng has not been in the yard for three days. He
Now he is collecting herbs on the mountain in Yaowang Valley. He did not tell Ting'er what medicinal materials he needed, but just told Ting'er that he would stay in the mountains for the next few days. After collecting the medicinal materials, he would return to Yaowang Valley."
The elder raised his eyebrows, and finally had some expression on his face, and then said: "So Yunfeng went up the mountain to collect herbs. Isn't he no longer worried about not being able to marry Ah Zi? How could he suddenly be in the mood to go to the mountains to collect herbs?
What? Is this medicinal material so important?"
Although Elder Feng felt uneasy, he did not show anything strange on his face. It was just that he thought that the elder was really suspicious, and he did not believe that what he was telling was a lie. He just suspected that Yunfeng went to the mountain.
Purpose.
Elder Feng had no choice but to say: "Yunfeng told Ting'er all this, and he didn't tell Ting'er the specifics. So, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Ting'er naturally didn't dare to ask more about the medicinal materials he went to the mountains to collect."
The Great Elder nodded, seeming to believe what Elder Feng said, but said, "Well, I know you and Ting'er won't lie to me."
Elder Feng was shocked. Sure enough, the elder was suspicious of Yun Feng's sudden climb up the mountain. The elder was really an old fox. He said he believed in himself and Ting'er, but he actually told him that Yun Feng might have deceived Ting'er.
Elder Feng twitched the corners of his mouth and looked like he was smiling, but he knew that he was just trying to hide his inner anxiety.
After Elder Feng left, Elder Zheng opened the curtain in the back hall of the Great Elder and walked out.
The Great Elder asked slowly: "How is it? You have been going to Elder Qu's yard with Junior Brother Feng for so many days, have you ever found any clues? Is Junior Brother Feng worthy of our trust?"
It turns out that the reason Elder Zheng suddenly appeared in front of Elder Feng's yard that day was because the Great Elder had spoken to test Elder Feng's loyalty.
After these days of testing, Elder Zheng said with a respectful smile: "Senior Brother, Junior Brother Feng is certainly trustworthy. But..."
The elder seemed to have doubts. The elder did not speak, but waved his hand. The elder knew best about this action, and the intention was to let him continue.
"It's just that Yunfeng has become very close to Ting'er recently. I don't know what Yunfeng has in mind. Could it be that he has given up on Ah Zi and decided to choose Ting'er? Yunfeng has always been intermittently in the past few days.
I ran to Ting'er's yard to see her. Ting'er didn't know if she could continue to trust her. You know that girl Ting'er has been in love with Yunfeng since she was a child. If Yunfeng does some trick or really changes her mind, she wants to marry him.
Ting'er, when the time comes, do you think Ting'er will still listen to us?
"The elder Zheng said analytically.
The eldest elder raised his eyelids and looked at the elder. After being silent for a while, he sneered and said: "We should be most at ease with Ting'er. Even if Ting'er wants to get married, she has to
Passing the test of Junior Brother Feng. Ting'er doesn't know our plan, doesn't Junior Brother Feng know? How could he marry Ting'er when he knew that his son-in-law, the owner of the valley, might not be alive?"
Elder Zheng nodded quickly and said, "Senior Brother's analysis is correct. I ignored Junior Brother Feng."
"When you went to Elder Qu this time, there was still no sign of the Ten Thousand Gu King?" the Great Elder asked slightly.
Elder Zheng sighed, and then said: "Well, after so many years, Elder Qu is just like an old fox. He doesn't even store the Ten Thousand Gu King in the secret room. I really don't know where he put it."
"Junior brother, have you never doubted the authenticity of the existence of the Ten Thousand Gu King in all these years? That is just a legend. Who knows if our ancestors are lying to us?" The great elder looked at the main elder and asked.
"Senior Brother, I am so anxious to find the King of Ten Thousand Gus just to study poisons better. Moreover, the King of Ten Thousand Gus must be at Elder Qu's place. I heard my father say that he once went to Elder Qu's father to see
I've been to a box before. The thing in that box must be the King of Ten Thousand Gus, because if not, why didn't you even see the shadow of the box? Elder Qu hid the box so mysteriously, it must be the King of Ten Thousand Gus. This time I went
Searching, we only have to dig three feet into the ground." The elder said with a sad face.
The Great Elder spoke slowly and said: "Then go dig. Anyway, Elder Qu's yard will be razed to the ground sooner or later."
"Senior brother has not said anything, and I don't dare to dig up Elder Qu's residence easily. Now that senior brother has spoken, I will definitely search carefully." Elder Zheng said as if his eyes were shining.
Fortunately, Elder Zheng could figure it out, and he really wanted to dig up Elder Qu's residence.
"By the way, have they sent the list?" the great elder asked.
"Senior brother, Junior Brother Xu's has been sent over, but Junior Brother Feng's has not yet been delivered." Elder Zheng said.
"Well, tell them to move faster. Aren't you going to dig up Elder Qu's yard this time? Take Elder Feng with you and remind him to move faster." The great elder said quietly.
"Yes, senior brother." said the elder.
As expected, Elder Zheng came to Elder Feng early in the morning the next day.
Elder Feng saw Elder Zheng standing in the yard helping him water the flowers. He walked over with a surprised look on his face and asked, "Brother, when did you come? Why didn't someone come in and wake me up?"
The elder put down the kettle with a smile, and then said: "I just came in. Your disciple wanted to go in and call you, but I stopped him. The air was good in the morning, so I stood in the yard for a while."
"Brother, come in and sit down. Is there something wrong?" Elder Feng asked Elder Zheng to come into his room, and then asked someone to boil water and make tea.
Elder Zheng sat down and said: "Actually, it's still Laoqu's matter. Senior brother means that we have to dig three feet into the ground to find the King of Ten Thousand Gus. Just after you left, senior brother mentioned this matter and explained
I want you to help. No, I will come to you early in the morning to ask for your opinion."
Elder Zheng spoke very politely, and Elder Feng said with a smile: "The boss has spoken, so of course I am going. Besides, if I can find King Wan Gu before I leave, I can't let this opportunity pass by. Anyway, I can't let go of this opportunity.
There's no rush, why don't we have a sip of tea and then set off. Just in time, I'll ask someone to find some needed things.
.”
Elder Zheng nodded in agreement. In fact, he was very anxious inside, but after hearing what Elder Feng said, he could only suppress his anxious mood.
Elder Feng asked his disciples to prepare shovels, barrels and other necessary items for him. Then he leisurely drank tea with Elder Zheng and waited, and the two started chatting again.
Elder Feng had already heard from Ting'er about the location of the secret room in the medicine room before. Because he knew that the secret room in the medicine room was underground, he would probably reveal the secret if he dug three feet into the ground. Fortunately, Ting'er told him in advance.
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will miss the secret room very cleverly.
After the two drank tea, they went to Elder Qu's courtyard. Elder Feng followed Elder Zheng and entered Elder Qu's courtyard. Elder Feng's face showed helplessness and sadness. However, he knew not to show himself.
Real thoughts, so it only took a moment to return to normal.
The two of them were standing in Elder Qu's yard. Elder Feng asked, "Where should we dig first?"
The elder Zheng rolled his eyes, and then said: "We have already entered the medicine room and the secret room in the study. It is presumed that there will be no more secret rooms underground. It seems unlikely that there will be a bedroom. There is only the medicine room. Where there should be a secret room, there is no secret room.
No clues were left, isn't it still suspicious?"
"Senior brother's analysis is correct, then we will go to the medicine room first, and then start digging." Elder Feng led the guy towards the medicine room, and Elder Zheng followed him in.
Elder Feng was not polite and slammed a shovel into the ground. When Elder Zheng saw that Elder Feng had already started digging, he did not say anything and continued digging directly where Elder Feng was digging.
Soon, the entire medicine room was dug up, but there was no trace of the secret room. This made Elder Zheng, who was originally very excited, a little discouraged. The entire medicine room was dug into a hole, but there was no trace of a secret room. Elder Feng did his best.
He worked hard and hurried to safety until the elder said: "Brother, let's keep digging, we will definitely find something."
The elder shook his head, and then said: "We can't dig so blindly, otherwise we won't be able to dig anything. Moreover, we have already dug a hole in the medicine room, so we still haven't been able to find the secret room?"
"Senior brother, since this is a secret room, is it possible that the secret room is deeper underground?" Elder Feng asked.
"Of course not. If the secret room is dug too deep, it will be easy for people to suffocate inside. Therefore, no one digs the secret room underground at all. Moreover, I always feel that there is something weird here in Laoqu, but I can't say it is.
What's the reason?" said the elder.
"What's the problem? Isn't this just a bluff?" Elder Feng said nonchalantly.
"Okay, let's rest for a while, and then go to the bedroom to take a look." The elder said slowly.
The two people sat on a stone in the yard, and then chatted about nothing. After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Elder Zheng and Elder Feng got up and went to the bedroom together.
"Senior brother, where do we start?" Elder Feng asked.
"Anywhere will do, but this place is bigger than the medicine room. Let's get started!" After the elder said that, he threw a pit into the ground.
Elder Feng saw that Elder Zheng had already taken action, so he followed him and started digging the secret room.
If the secret room was so easy, would it still be called a secret room? Elder Feng smiled unnaturally, and then, as if he had some motivation, he used all his strength to start digging.
However, this time it seemed that the elder was disappointed again. They left almost no place except under the bed. However, they found nothing, which made the elder seem a little anxious.
