Hearing what he said sincerely, Senior Brother Xiao came over to smooth things over: "There's something going on in the city these days, so we can't help but ask more questions, please go in, both of you."

His junior brother was not reconciled, and after guarding for a long time, finally two people came, and they just let them in.

Brother Xiao didn't want to say much in front of people, but when the couple entered the city, Brother Mou asked, "Brother, why did you let them in?"

Brother Xiao was full of words, and only said: "We'll talk about it when we go back tonight."

The Burial Sword Valley is now crumbling, and others may still be confused, but everyone in their sect already feels uneasy that the building is about to collapse.

They check people here for three days. No one was checked, but Senior Brother Xiao felt more and more uneasy.

I remember when he just joined the sect, at that time Guzhu Wu had not taken over yet, and the Burial Sword Valley was still prosperous, what was the situation like? Why is there such a need to carefully check the door for visitors? The gate of the Burial Sword Valley is open to welcome visitors, and most of the people who come and go are monks, talking and debating swords.

It's only been a few years, and the Burial Sword Valley has reached the point where it is now. When a person with a sword comes, he is terrified, fearing that the other party has something wrong.

The reason why the couple was let in was not that Senior Brother Xiao knew their details.

But had to let go.

If they were not allowed to enter, they would naturally complain. After leaving, they would tell others about what happened today. Jianjian Valley dared not even let such two low-level people in, and spread the word. Pull it off, and the shelf that Jianjian Valley insisted on will fall down.

Thinking of this, Senior Brother Xiao was extremely discouraged.

Today, in fact, what's the big deal about letting these two people in? The Burial Sword Valley has come to this day step by step. If there is no outsider to make trouble, it will fall down.

They came back and sat down again.

Although no one said anything, a silent and depressing atmosphere spread among the four people. Even the round-faced boy seemed to feel something. Like a fool, he lowered his head sullenly and stopped talking.

Sitting here until dark, after dealing with today's errands, the four brothers and sisters got up and went back. Before leaving, Brother Xiao didn't forget to leave some money for the tea shed owner, they can't do business here.

When it gets dark, there are no people on the street. No matter how whitewashed the peace is, everyone will be afraid.

I remember when the city was brightly lit at night. But now there are only scattered lights on, and I feel desolate.

The round-faced boy felt panicked, and wanted to find something to say even if he had nothing to say. Otherwise, there were only a few of their footsteps on this street, which made people feel hairy.

"Senior brother Xiao, who are we looking for outside the door these few days?"

It's okay to behave suspiciously, but it's more ridiculous to have bad intentions. People's hearts are separated by belly, how can you see what the other person is thinking? If you really have unruly thoughts, you must hide them well, so that people can easily see them

Brother Xiao didn't want to say it at first, but rumors have gradually spread in the sect these days. It wasn't like this before, but it's not like this now. Even the prestige of the valley owner is not as good as before, and he can't control people anymore.

If he didn't say it, maybe Junior Brother Ping would hear about it from others tomorrow.

"It is said that someone pretended to be the eldest son of the owner of the valley, the grandson of the old owner of the valley, with the intention of causing trouble."

This happened too long ago, the young disciple surnamed Ping started late, and had never heard of these old anecdotes at all.

Brother Xiao didn't go into details with him, only said that after the owner of the valley married the only daughter of the old owner many years ago, he had a son, but the child was murdered shortly after birth, and his wife went crazy for a while because of this incident. , and soon died.

"The owner of the valley actually once had a son? Who is the impostor?"

Brother Xiao said, "I don't know about that."

He was telling the truth, he really didn't know.

However, according to common sense, since he wants to pretend to be the lost child of the owner of the valley more than 20 years ago, he must be a young man. It is impossible for an old man to say that he is the son of the owner of the valley, right? The owner of the valley can't give birth either.

"Is it really a fake? That's too bold!" Brother Mou also interjected: "The real is the real, and the fake is the fake. Isn't there a secret method in the sect? After you come, you can test it, and you will be able to distinguish between the real and the fake."

Why block the gate of the city, as if afraid of people coming.

After he said this, Brother Xiao fell silent.

Brother Mou thought about it himself, and felt that this matter was strange.

This person hasn't come yet, and he doesn't know whether he is flat or round, so why did the news spread to everyone? It's not difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, and the false one can expose him as soon as it comes, so why bother to be so flustered like an enemy

All kinds of thoughts turned around in my stomach for a few times, and Brother Mou also came back to it.

What matters is not that the eldest young master is true or false, but that the people in the sect have firmly insisted that he is false, and they do not intend to give him a chance to prove his identity at all.

Brother Mou doesn't understand what these people are trying to do.

But he was still puzzled.

It's not difficult to guess what those people are trying to do, and of course they don't want another young master to stand in their way.

But what about the valley owner? Doesn't the valley owner care about the authenticity? That's his own son.

How difficult is it for a cultivator to pass on the blood by himself? The owner of the valley now has only one daughter, who is weak and weak. If that son is real, then the valley owner has no reason not to admit it.

Mo Chen, who was speculated and discussed by them, was in a courtyard not far from these four people.

When he entered the city, it happened that Senior Brother Namu was looking for trouble for the couple. Mo Chen's long sword was placed in a backpack, and he entered the city in such a blatant manner, the four senior brothers did not pay attention at all. to him.

In addition to the sword, there is also some ore in the back box.

That's right, Mo Shaoxia entered the city dressed as a deliveryman of ore and stone. Such a person comes and goes in and out all day long, if not a hundred, there are eighty, it's not eye-catching at all.

He has never been to the Burial Sword Valley, but he also recognized the people in the Burial Sword Valley when he went out before. Jin Mian, who went back to Liushan with Elder Lu last time, the two had met before, but they were not familiar with each other.

The Burial Sword Valley he had heard about before was nothing like the place he saw now.

The Burial Sword Valley used to be famous, much more famous than such a small place as Huiliu Mountain. Among the cultivators, when mentioning the Burial Sword Valley, seven or eight out of ten people must know about it. When it comes to Huiliu Mountain, most of them will look blank and ask again: "Where?" Thinking back to Huiliu Mountain to kill demons back then, the younger ones had never heard of these anecdotes at all, let alone what Huiliu Mountain was about.

But the Burial Sword Valley right now is a desolate scene of doom. He hasn't mixed into the sect yet, as far as he can see, the name of Burial Sword Valley does not match the reality, and the signs of failure have already appeared. (to be continued)
