In the majestic and majestic cave of Ziqing Mountain, Xun Wenxing sat opposite one or two gray-haired men, discussing confidential matters.

"So, our inference is wrong. The reason behind Tang Ning's plan to ambush Junior Brother Tie was not Xuanmen's conspiracy against our sect. It was his personal behavior. So why did he do this? He took such a big risk to deal with Junior Brother Tie specifically." Xun Wenxing frowned slightly after listening to the man's words.

The man said: "As for the specific reason, we don't know yet, but we can rule out a Xuanmen conspiracy."

"According to our investigation, during the period when Junior Brother Tie was killed, all Jindan monks, whether it was Qianyi Sect, Qingyang Sect, or Shuiyun Sect, were in their own sect and camp and did not go out, so there is no Xuanzong. There is a possibility of using Junior Brother Tie as bait to set up an ambush."

"We suspect that Tang Ning traveled thousands of miles and took risks to ambush Junior Brother Tie, perhaps out of personal grudges."

"Personal grievances, what kind of grievances can they have?" Xun Wenxing pondered: "Tang Ning could kill Junior Brother Tie alone. This is a bit incredible. I have seen the Xuanling Blood Sword hidden in Junior Brother Tie's body before, and it is so powerful. With huge energy, he can defeat Junior Brother Tie with his cultivation level that has only been promoted to Jindan for twenty years? Junior Brother Wu, are you sure you are not mistaken?"

The man said: "Although it is unbelievable, it is the fact. In addition, Zhang Huiyong, the master of our sect, has confirmed that he escaped back to Qianyi Sect."

Xun Wenxing mused: "We can't let this matter go so easily. We still need to do our best to investigate. First, find out what personal grudges Junior Brother Tie has with Tang Ning. In addition, several other insiders involved in the matter will also need to be re-examined. Maybe this Huiyong is just The real trick is still lurking, Yizong has done this before."

"Okay." The man responded.

Before Xun Wenxing could say anything more, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Come in." He said.

The stone door creaked open, and a man with a fair complexion pushed the door in. He glanced at the man named Wu, but hesitated to speak.

"It's okay to speak up if you have anything to say. Junior Brother Wu is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so cautious."

"Yes." The man responded: "Junior Brother Xu is here and is asking for a meeting outside."

"Oh?" Xun Wenxing was a little surprised when he heard this.

The man surnamed Wu saw the strange look on his face and knew that something important must be going on, so he stood up and said: "Brother Xun, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Well, I'd rather bother you with this matter." Xun Wenxing nodded, and the man surnamed Wu turned and left the room.

Not long after, a man with a broad forehead and broad face came in from the outside, bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to the master."

"Why are you back? What's the matter?" Xun Wenxing asked. This person was the one he stayed at the Baoxing Inn in Duanjishanfang City to contact the mysterious agent within the Qingyang Sect.

The Blood and Bone Sect has a high-level spy who has been lurking in the Qingyang Sect. This is well known to the sect's senior leaders. With this spy, the Blood and Bone Sect always predicts the enemy when fighting against the Qingyang Sect, such as breaking through the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine and the Qingyang Sect. When Yangzong was at the frontline camp, all these meticulous efforts were indispensable.

It was precisely because he had closed down the defensive formation in advance that the Blood Bone Sect was able to break through the Qingyang Sect's frontline camp without any effort, causing the Qingyang Sect to suffer heavy losses. Even the master of the Qingxuan Hall was killed.

But except for the original headmaster Hou Zhengping, no one knows the identity of this detailed work.

Until a few decades ago, the Qingyang Sect found out that a spy was Cheng Yang, the deacon directly under the Secret Academy of the Qingyang Sect. Everyone thought that this person was the senior spy arranged by Hou Zhengping.

It was not until Hou Zhengping was about to pass away that he explained all this. In fact, Cheng Yang was not the mysterious spy. Cheng Yang was an insider who had personally inserted himself into the Qingyang Sect in his early years. Very few people knew about this. Qingyang Sect

A secret investigation into the internal affairs revealed that Cheng Yang was actually this person's scapegoat.

This person's identity is extremely mysterious, and even he doesn't know who he is. Every time he turns into a woman and meets him at the Baoxing Inn, the woman doesn't have any spiritual power at first, and seems to be just an ordinary woman.

Over the years, she gradually gained some spiritual power, but the fluctuations in her spiritual power were only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. It was obvious that this woman was just a puppet, controlled by someone else behind her back.

The Baoxing Inn in Duanjishanfang City is their only contact channel. Basically, the woman will appear at least once a year to contact them.

Therefore, Xun Wenxing specially sent a person to stay there, just to get in touch with this mysterious master of Qingyang Sect again. However, after Hou Zhengping died, the woman never appeared in the decades, and Xun Wenxing almost forgot about it.

about this matter.

"Reporting to the master, ten days ago, the disciple was sitting cross-legged in the inn practicing meditation. A woman wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe suddenly came to the room and said that she wanted to meet you. The disciple did not dare to delay and came to tell me."

road.

"Oh? Really here?" Xun Wenxing muttered, his thoughts racing in his mind. This person should be the mysterious craftsman of Qingyang Sect, but she has not appeared for decades. What does it mean to suddenly contact him at this time? Yes.

Couldn't it be a trap?

Xun Wen is cautious and suspicious by nature, and he is dubious about everything. The sudden appearance of this person made him a little confused: "What is her current cultivation level?"

The man replied: "My cultivation level is not high, I am only at the seventh level of Qi refining."

In this way, her cultivation has been steadily improving. From the beginning, there was no fluctuation in spiritual power, to the seventh level of Qi refining, which has spanned nearly two hundred years. If she were a monk, her life span would have been exhausted and she would have died.

Or he could hide his true cultivation level, but this possibility is almost zero.

With Hou Zhengping's cultivation level, if he wanted to hide his spiritual exploration, even if there were exotic treasures that could cover up his cultivation level, he would have to at least reach the Golden Core realm. It was impossible for this woman to reach the Golden Core realm two hundred years ago.

Then the only possibility left is that this woman is not actually a living person, but a puppet made with some special technique, or some kind of ghostly thing.

Hou Zhengping once mentioned that this craftsman had the ability to change his appearance and imitate others. It was precisely by relying on this method that he was able to complete the task of closing the defensive formation.

"Did she leave any words?" Xun Wenxing asked after thinking for a while.

"She said she would be waiting to meet you at Xuanyun Mountain early next month."

"I understand, you go ahead! Don't leave the sect for the time being, wait for my news."

"Yes." The man accepted the order and left.

Xun Wenxing's thoughts were spinning in his heart. He stood up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he said: "Here comes someone."

The stone door creaked open, and a pale-faced man pushed the door open and saluted, "What are your orders, Master?"

"Go and invite Junior Brother Wu."

"Yes." The man left the room, and after about a stick of incense, a man surnamed Wu came in from outside and said, "Brother Xun, you have called me here in such a hurry, what do you have to say?"

"Junior Brother Wu, please sit down."

The man surnamed Wu took his seat as instructed, and Xun Wenxing said: "Do you know who came just now?"

"I know it's Senior Brother's disciple Xu Yuan. I met him when I left the cave."

"Do you know where I sent him these years?"

The man named Wu shook his head.

Xun Wenxing said: "I asked him to go there to wait for someone at the Baoxing Inn in Duanjishanfang City. Unexpectedly, he had to wait for decades. Ten days ago, this person finally showed up. Xu Yuan made a special trip to report this.

Yes."

The man surnamed Wu asked in shock: "Who is so important?"

"You should still remember that when our sect attacked Xuanyue Mountain and united with Youmei Sect and Crescent Gate to capture Qingyang Sect's camp, its defensive formation failed for no reason!"

"How can we forget that these are two rare victories for our sect."

"Do you know why its defense formation failed for no reason?"

"It was a careful arrangement arranged by Senior Brother Hou."

"This is the person I am waiting for. Baoxing Inn in Duanji Mountain is the only way for Senior Brother Hou to contact this person. Senior Brother Hou informed me of this person's identity before he died, so I sent Xu Yuan to Fangshi, hoping that

I have reconnected with this person, but this person has never appeared in these decades. However, just ten days ago, she suddenly appeared and said she wanted to meet me."

The man surnamed Wu said in shock: "Isn't it rumored that Senior Brother Hou's spy was found out and executed by the Qingyang Sect?"

"It turns out that I think so too. That Cheng Yang is actually another high-level craftsman trained by Senior Brother Hou. It's a pity that after he was found out, he became this person's scapegoat." Xun Wenxing then revealed all the clues about this craftsman:

"Junior Brother Wu, you are the one I trust most in the sect, so I will inform you of this matter."

After hearing this, the man surnamed Wu said in disbelief: "With Senior Brother Hou's ability and ability, he has cooperated with this person so many times, but he still doesn't know his true identity?"

"Yes! It's really unbelievable, isn't it! If Senior Brother Hou hadn't spoken from the bottom of his heart before he passed away, I wouldn't have believed it."

"What does Senior Brother Xun need me to do?"

"This man made an appointment with me to meet me at Xuanyun Mountain ten days later. He is telling the truth. I am worried that this is a conspiracy. This woman has not shown up for decades, and now we suddenly meet her. Her purpose is bad and her behavior is suspicious. Therefore, I would like to ask you to take the lead.

, go and meet this person, with me sitting behind her, even if she has bad intentions, she will be more scrupulous, what do you think?"

When the man surnamed Wu heard this, he was very unhappy. He dared not go to the appointment for fear of being trapped and ambushed, so he pushed me over to test the water. If it was really an ambush, he would be dead or alive.

He had a calm expression on his face, but he had already made up his mind and would not take this risk personally no matter what: "Okay, then I will go and meet this person."

………………………………

The red wheel is setting in the west, the setting sun is like fire, Xuanyun Mountain is lush and green, stretching for dozens of miles, among which there is an unusually tall mountain peak, standing like a flock of chickens.

A beam of light shot out from the northwest and fell between the mountains and forests, revealing the figure of a man with a beard and full cheeks. He fell out of the light, looked around warily, and slowly walked towards the cave ahead.

There was no one visible in the cave, only the sound of insects chirping and water dripping on the stone walls. At the end sat a figure wearing a bamboo hat and black robe.

"Your Excellency, are you the master that Master Hou told you about before he died?" the man asked.

"Who are you? The person I have an appointment with is Xun Wenxing." The woman's clear and sweet voice came.

"Headmaster Xun has important matters and cannot come here today. If you have anything to do, just tell me," the man said.

"Your status is too low to make the decision. Let Xun Wenxing come in person."

"Of course I can't make the decision, I'm only responsible for reporting."

"I can only discuss this matter with Xun Wenxing face-to-face. I don't worry about others."

The man thought for a while and said: "The master can't come to see you now. He has sent his tutor here. If you don't give up, how about you come with me to see the tutor? You can discuss anything in person."

"Who is your master?"
