step on mountains and rivers

Nothing happened all night, the next day, after everyone got up, the head of Changdaomen sent someone to call them over.When they arrived at the main hall, everyone respectfully saluted and said:

"Sect Master."

"Well, everyone, please sit down." Zhan Xiao looked at the crowd and replied.Then he also sat on the big mink chair.

"This seat is the master of Changdao Sect. My surname is Zhan and my name is Xiao. I don't know how to call you?" Zhan Xiao looked at the crowd and asked.

"Junior Mo Ban, a Mohist child." Mo Ban said: "They are all my friends."

Moban said and pointed to Tang Qingfeng and others.

Tang Qingfeng got up, saluted Zhan Xiao respectfully and said:

"Junior Tang Qingfeng, a disciple of the Tang Sect, has admired the name of Zhan Sect Master for a long time, and seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Zhan Xiao listened to Tang Qingfeng's words, nodded with a slightly relaxed expression, and continued to look at the other three.

"Wudang Li Zhenwu, I have met the master of Zhanmen." Li Zhenwu got up and saluted respectfully.

Zhan Xiao looked at him and nodded.

"Jiang Ling, a disciple of the Beggar Clan, has met Master Zhan." Jiang Ling got up and said, Zhan Xiao nodded.

"I'm here, Lu Qing, a disciple of Immortal Medicine Valley, I have met the sect master." After Lu Qing finished speaking, Zhan Xiao looked at everyone with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, everyone is talented in martial arts, with extraordinary weapons. Today, you and Mo Ban must come here for the key to the treasure house of the Mo family."

"Yes, I hope the master of Zhanmen will tell you." Tang Qingfeng replied.

Seeing Tang Qingfeng speak so bluntly, Zhan Xiao glanced at Tang Qingfeng in surprise, and said:

"The key is indeed in my hand, but the Mo family has never been here for more than ten years. Why did you suddenly come to get it today?"

"Master Zhan, the reason why the Mo family didn't come is because the Mo family had been destroyed more than ten years ago." Mo Ban looked at Zhan Xiao and said with a little sadness.

Zhan Xiao looked at him with a slightly shocked expression, and then asked:

"who is it?"

Moban shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhan Xiao looked at him, sighed, and said, "Things are impermanent, I never thought that so many things would happen in these years of retreat."

"Master Zhan, we came here today because of the ciphertext map." Tang Qingfeng interrupted Zhan Xiao's exclamation.

"Ciphertext diagram?" Zhan Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Well, the ciphertext map can unlock the map of the magic weapon and point out the location of the magic weapon spectrum." Tang Qingfeng looked at Zhan Xiao and continued:

"The magic weapon book is an extremely dangerous thing. The Four Sacred Palaces have been eyeing it. If unfortunately it falls into their hands, there will be huge waves in the rivers and lakes and even the whole world."

Zhan Xiao looked at Tang Qingfeng, thought for a moment and said:

"Sisheng Palace, it's them again."

"Why, Master Zhan also knows about the Four Sacred Palaces?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"They have stirred up the undercurrents in the whole arena, and they are still playing tricks under my nose, how could I not know?" Zhan Xiao said slightly angrily.

"Sect Master Zhan, what happened?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Xushan Tianshuitang is the site of the Four Sacred Palaces. Originally, his Tianshuitang and my Changdaomen have been living in peace, but recently Tianshuitang has murdered my elite disciples of the Changdaomen several times. It is very abominable, but there is no evidence. Otherwise, I will destroy them." Zhan Xiao said angrily.

"Sect Master Zhan, may I ask how they murdered the disciples of the Changdao Sect? Can you explain in more detail?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

Zhan Xiao looked at Tang Qingfeng and nodded.

"I sent my disciples to explore the mines near the West Mountain. I went to dozens of elite disciples, but none of them came back. Apart from Xu Shan, who else would dare to attack my disciples of the Changdao Sect?" Zhan Xiao said sharply.

"Xishan, did the sect master send someone to investigate again?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Yes, but the gatekeeper found out that they were just farming, so there is nothing wrong with it." Zhan Xiao said.

"I see." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

"Let's not talk about them. Since you have something important to do, I'll bring you the key. Please wait here for a while, and I will come when I go." Zhan Xiao said, then got up and walked out the door.

After Zhan Xiao left, Tang Qingfeng looked at the crowd and asked:

"Tian Shui Tang, Si Sheng Gong, what do you think?"

"The Four Sacred Palaces are all over the world, and it's not surprising that Xushan has Tianshuitang," Jiang Ling said.

"I mean, farming." Tang Qingfeng said and looked at the crowd: "Farming in this desert Gobi, Sisheng Palace really has a leisurely mood."

"You mean?" Li Zhenwu suddenly thought of something, so he asked.

"Well, I'm just as Zhenwu thought." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Brother Tang, do you want to investigate?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"En." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Qing suddenly understood, looked at the two, and asked in shock:

"Do you mean that thing?"

"Yeah." The two nodded.

"It's very possible." Lu Qing replied with some understanding.

Jiang Ling and Mo Ban were at a loss as they listened to the mysterious conversation between the three.

"Old Tang, what are you talking about? Why does Moban and I seem to be the only ones who don't know? What's going on?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Soul-absorbing grass!" Tang Qingfeng watched Jiang Ling return seriously.

"Soul-absorbing grass? What happened? Didn't you get rid of Gui Wushuang and destroy the soul-absorbing grass?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Gui Wushuang is not the only one in the Four Sacred Palaces." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"You mean, there may be many places in the Four Sacred Palace secretly planting soul-absorbing grass?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Well, this Tianshuitang is probably one place." Tang Qingfeng said.

After hearing the words of several people, Mo Ban became more and more complicated, and he was completely confused.

"Everyone, may I ask what happened?" Mo Ban asked with a puzzled look.

Jiang Ling looked at him and briefly explained the matter to him, and Mo Ban finally understood what they said.He looked at several people and said:

"Soul-absorbing grass, magic weapon spectrum, so it seems that there may be a huge conspiracy brewing in the Four Sacred Palaces."

"En." Everyone nodded.

While everyone was talking, Zhan Xiao came in from the door holding a wooden box.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." Zhan Xiao said and handed the box to Tang Qingfeng.Tang Qingfeng took the box and saw a copper three-layer disc lock on it.The lock is engraved with intricate inscriptions.After looking at it, he handed the box to Moban.

Mo Ban took the box and began to study it with Lu Qing, while everyone watched from the sidelines.

The two work together, one calculates and guesses, and the other rotates the disk to the inscription position estimated,

"Xu Shang, Zi Zhong, the end of noon." After Mo Ban finished speaking, Lu Qing immediately turned the disc according to his speculation, and with a clicking sound, the mechanism opened, and the wooden box slowly opened.

I saw a black meteorite disc with dozens of grooves engraved on both sides in the box, standing on a piece of red brocade cloth.

Mo Ban picked up the meteorite disc, put it on the table, looked at Lu Qing and asked:

"Password, have you read it clearly?"

"Well, it's Xishan Canyon." Lu Qing looked at the circular grooves of different lengths on the meteorite disc and said.

"Yeah." Moban nodded.

"What? Xishan Canyon! That's the boundary of Tianshuitang, will the Treasure Cave be there?" Jiang Ling asked worriedly.

"No, the treasure cave is deeper in the canyon, and there are many traps on the road, so they can't get there." Murban said.

"Oh, that's good." Jiang Ling felt relieved.

Tang Qingfeng looked at everyone, then at Zhan Xiao and said:

"Sect Master Zhan, since our affairs are all related to Tianshui Hall, then I will go to Tianshui Hall to investigate. If we find any clues, we will hope that Sect Master Zhan will help us at that time."

"Okay." Zhan Xiao nodded in agreement.

After everyone finished speaking, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the door.Zhan Xiao frowned, and walked out the door, followed by everyone.

"Why is it so noisy?" As soon as Zhan Xiao finished speaking, he saw a young man in the crowd. The young man had short hair and a very handsome face with a shallow scar. The black dagger looked at Zhan Xiao and said loudly:

"Zhan Xiao, I, Zhou Rong, challenge you again! Do you dare to fight?"

Zhan Xiao looked at the young man expressionlessly and said:

"Zhou Rong, you have been defeated 99 times, and you still dare to challenge?"

"Oh, what is 99 times? Even if it is a hundred times, a thousand times, I still dare to come, what? Are you afraid?" Zhou Rong asked.

"Hmph, what a joke, the old man is afraid of you?" Zhan Xiao looked at him and said disdainfully.

"Oh, of course! You're old, I'm still young, you're running out of time, but I'm growing up, and I'll surpass you soon!" Zhou Rong looked at Zhan Xiao. Said with a proud face.

After Zhan Xiao heard Zhou Rong's words, veins popped up on his forehead. He looked at Zhou Rong angrily and said:

"Okay, since you want to die, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, he slapped Zhou Rong with his palm.

Seeing this, Zhou Rong raised his dagger, blocked his attack and said, "It's just in time!"

Seeing that Zhou Rong was talking so interestingly, Jiang Ling jokingly said:

"This kid, he talks like a madman. It's really fun to see Zhanmen master blowing his beard and staring in anger."

"Although this person speaks a little crazy, his martial arts are not bad." Li Zhenwu said, looking at the two people who were fighting.

After Jiang Ling heard this, he looked at the two people who were fighting, and saw Zhan Xiao slashing at Zhou Rong with his palm. Zhou Rong dodged it, then picked up the short knife, and slashed towards Zhan Xiao's left shoulder.Zhan Xiao turned over and jumped up, kicked his short knife away, and then attacked his left arm. With a bang, Zhou Rong was kicked out and knocked down the shelf placed by the wall.

Zhan Xiao looked at Zhou Rong and said:

"Ignorant child, so what if you are younger than this seat? You will not be able to practice to this seat's achievement in a lifetime."

"Bah, fart, in less than ten years, I will definitely surpass you!" Zhou Rong retorted dissatisfied with the blood spit out of his mouth.

Zhan Xiao looked at Zhou Rong and said: "It seems that I won't teach you a lesson, you really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!"

After Zhan Xiao finished speaking, his whole body suddenly exploded, and a threatening sense of oppression came to his face, pressing Zhou Rong to the point where he couldn't stand upright.He supported the dagger on the ground, looked at Zhan Xiao with a smile and said:

"Is that right? Old man Zhan, you are finally serious."

Zhan Xiao didn't pay attention to his words, jumped up and came to Zhou Rong in an instant, and hit his abdomen with a palm. Zhou Rong was startled by Zhan Xiao's sudden appearance, and quickly raised his dagger to block it. .

With a bang, the palm wind stirred up a wave of air, and sent Zhou Rong and his sword flying out of the high wall.

Zhan Xiao looked at Zhou Rong who was flying into the distance, and said to his disciples:

"Go and pick him up, just treat him casually."

"Yes." After the disciples replied, they quickly ran towards the direction where Zhou Rong fell.

"What's the matter with the sect master? Every time he beat the doctor, the doctor beat him. This kid is so troublesome, so he should just beat him to death with a single blow." said Changdao Sect disciple A.

"Yeah, this kid has come here countless times, but he hasn't won once, so why bother!" disciple B of Changdaomen replied.

Just like this, you and I said nothing, and ran out quickly.

Tang Qingfeng saw that the battle was over, so he went to Zhan Xiao and said:

"Master of the Exhibition Gate."

"I made everyone laugh." Zhan Xiao said, gently stroking the dust on his body.

"Where, the sect master's martial arts skills are amazing, and I admire them very much." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Brother Tang is overrated." Zhan Xiao replied.

"Where is it, by the way, Zhanmen Master, we need to trouble you for a few more days because of the investigation of Tianshuitang. It is really disturbing." Tang Qingfeng said.

"It's okay, you can live as you like, you can stay for as many days as you want." Zhan Xiao said.

"So, thank you Master Zhanmen." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"You're welcome. If you need anything, you can ask your disciples to contact me. Let's do it for today. I'm a little tired, so I won't be with you." After Zhan Xiao finished speaking, he left the place straight away.

Seeing Zhan Xiao leave, the spectators dispersed one after another.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the other people, and then said:

"It's still early today. Zhenwu and I will go to the Xishan Canyon to have a look. Lao Jiang, take Lu Qing and Mo Ban to find news near Tianshui Hall."

"Okay." Jiang Ling replied.Then they divided into two teams and walked in different directions.
