If Jiang Fan had been a hedgehog, all the spines on his body would have stood up with a "shua" sound.
Elder Lu must have no good intentions.
"It's rare to see you like this..." Ning Yu thought for a while and said, "It's like being stepped on by the tail."
Jiang Fan didn't even have the time to reply right now, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately stood up and went out with high spirits.
Ning Yu also stood up with a smile on her face. Things on Huiliu Mountain were so quiet that people panicked.
Jiang Fan went to look for Mo Chen first.
General disciples can't enter the master's yard. There are books, some things of the master, and elixirs in it. Only senior brothers can enter. Jiang Fan waited at the door, usually he was not too steady, but now he couldn't stand still in a hurry and turned around at the door.
As soon as Mo Chen came out, he saw him like a trapped beast, Jiang Fan hurried up to greet him: "Brother, there are people coming to the Burial Sword Valley again."
Mo Chen walked and handed him the box in his hand: "You can use this when dispensing medicine."
Jiang Fan was a bit shorter than Mo Chen, so he had to walk a few steps to keep up with him: "Brother, don't you find it surprising?"
What's the surprise
Mo Chen knew they would come again.
It was the first time in many years that the person buried in Sword Valley had come to him, so he must have something important to do. That being the case, he wouldn't just give up just because he declined last time.
It's just that they come back not long after, which shows that their matter is very important and urgent.
"Brother, don't be fooled by them."
Jiang Fan was particularly afraid that the elder brother would be deceived by the people in the Burial Sword Valley.
"Do not worry."
In front of the hall, Mo Chen told Jiang Fan: "Let someone prepare some tea and fruits."
Jiang Fan reluctantly agreed.
Why did the elder brother ask him to prepare tea and fruit, he obviously didn't want him to hear them talking in front of him.
Give tea fruit to such vile customers? The last bowl of poison is almost the same.
By the way, when the tea fruit is ready, don't let others intervene, and he brings it in himself, won't he have a chance to hear them talking
Once he made up his mind, Jiang Fan hurried to serve tea and fruits.
Elder Lu came alone this time.
As soon as Mo Chen entered, he stood up.
Mo Chen stepped forward to salute and asked him to sit down.
Compared with the last time I came here, it has only been a few days, but Elder Lu looks more haggard than the last time I saw him, the lines at the corners of his mouth are deeper, his eye sockets are sunken, and he looks like he has been worrying and insomnia these days.
"I'm afraid I came at the wrong time." Elder Lu laughed at himself.
The disciples of Huiliu Mountain all regarded him as a bad guest, but Mo Chen was still very polite to him, without losing the courtesy. But this thoughtful etiquette just shows that Mo Chen is indifferent to him in his heart.
Elder Lu secretly sighed.
His two visits can be said to be thankless, and he is not a human being on both sides.
On the other side of the Burial Sword Valley, although the sect has been declining day by day, the shallower the water, the more energetic those people are.
Guzhu Wu has no children, but there are quite a few people who want to marry Guzhu's daughter and take over the position of Guzhu. There was another group of people, headed by Elder Cao, who felt that Valley Master Wu himself was not orthodox, and that he was his son-in-law. It's their turn to try their hand.
There are also those who fish in troubled waters, those who fall into trouble, those who eat inside and outside...
Burial Sword Valley used to have a good spiritual vein, but after so many years, the spiritual vein gradually dried up and disappeared, Elder Lu was worried for a long time. Once the spirit veins completely disappear, the sect of Burial Sword Valley will also come to an end. At this time, these people didn't want to think about how to jump out of the predicament and find another way of life. Instead, they fought desperately around the well that was about to dry up. They were all greedy and short-sighted.
Actually... Elder Lu admits that he also has selfish motives.
He also always felt that Guzhu Wu was not in the right place. Although he married Rouzhu, the daughter of the old valley owner, and gave birth to a son. But Mrs. Rouzhu was not well after giving birth to the child. After the child disappeared, she became sick and went crazy, and died soon. Guzhu Wu's current daughter was born after marrying Mrs. Xu. Speaking of which, this daughter has nothing to do with the old Guzhu, and the inheritance of Burial Sword Valley is broken here.
Regarding his son who disappeared in the early years, Guzhu Wu was not enthusiastic about his attitude. He only said that the child was too young when he was lost, and it is difficult to prove his real life experience now. According to Elder Lu, this is only one of the reasons, and the more important reason is that Guzhu Wu is totally hypocritical towards Mrs. Rouzhu, and he is afraid of the son who inherits the blood of the old Guzhu. a threat to oneself. You must know that the old Guzhu didn't want to pass on the throne to Wuguzhu back then, but wanted to wait for his grandson to be born and grow up, and then pass on the position of Guzhu directly to his grandson.
So Elder Lu's visit this time is actually less confident than last time.
Not many people in Burial Sword Valley supported his actions, and Huiliu Mountain didn't like him at all.
Elder Lu felt endless exhaustion and powerlessness in his heart.
There was a mountain in front of him, and he didn't have much strength to climb it.
When he came last time, he could still persuade Mo Chen with the reasons of family recognition and wealth in Burial Sword Valley, but now these excuses are no longer tenable.
He came alone to show that those conditions have actually come to naught, no matter whether it is family affection or power, they are all empty words.
Mo Chen was still very polite to him, after Jiang Fan came in with tea, Mo Chen handed over a cup of tea: "Tea, please."
Elder Lu took the teacup and didn't know what to say for a while.
Jiang Fan stared at him covetously, revealing from head to toe that "you are a villain with evil intentions".
Elder Lu could only smile wryly.
"Maybe I shouldn't have come this time."
Mo Chen didn't make a sound, Jiang Fan pursed his lips.
Hypocrisy, shouldn't you come? I know I shouldn't come here, isn't it here again
The last time I came here, I didn't succeed. Could it be that this time I want to pretend to be pitiful and use bitter tricks
dream.
Jiang Fan's fighting spirit was blazing.
The master is not around, Linglong is in seclusion, and the junior brother is useless, Jiang Fan thinks he has a big responsibility on his shoulders, and vows to expose this person with ulterior motives, and will never let the senior brother fall for him.
With Jiang Fan present, Elder Lu didn't say anything about relatives, but talked about other things.
"After I went back last time, something happened in the Burial Sword Valley. The owner of the valley collected some old swords and smelted them in a furnace to make new swords. For this reason, he also tried his best and invested a lot of treasures from heaven and earth."
Mo Chen asked: "Then what was the result?"
In fact, there is no need to ask. Judging by Elder Lu's appearance, I am afraid that the result will not be very good.
Sure enough, Elder Lu said: "It failed. Don't say that there are no precious swords or famous swords, not even ordinary steel swords and machetes. The furnace was blown up. The disciples guarding the furnace and an Elder Lu were killed on the spot, and there were more than a dozen people." Seriously injured. No sword, only a furnace of scrap iron.” (To be continued)
