Outside the elder hall, the large open space in the yard was bustling with people at this time. Chu Hanting walked all the way, shoulder to shoulder, thinking that he had entered the vegetable market several times.Qu Xun was anxiously waiting for his two disciples inside, he was finally relieved seeing them, and said, "You guys stay here with me for a couple of days." He looked at Chu Hanting's black eyes, lowered his He sighed: "Han Ting bears it for now, after the matter is over, he will rest for a few more days."

Song Dongting nodded because he didn't understand, but Chu Hanting's complexion gradually became serious.He hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Master, I heard that the Great Elder...what's the situation outside now?"

Qu Xun hesitated for a moment, as if deciding whether to tell the truth to the children.But he didn't need to think about it soon, because the disciples who rushed to report the news would not lower their voices at all. The people present were all practitioners, so how could they not hear clearly?

"I report to the owner, there is still no news from the Great Elder... Yes, the brothers around me are no exception!"

"Elder Su went to Luoyegou, and the news suddenly stopped!"

"Uncle Li turned back from Tiantan Peak to look at Danshan Mountain, and lost contact halfway!"

Hearing the bad news one after another made people's hearts tremble, and the disciples in the courtyard became more and more restless. The noisy whispering became louder and louder, and panic spread rapidly.But Lu Yangshan, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to be stupid, and he didn't even have a comforting excuse.

Cao Xiang'an cheered up, and said to Lu Yangshan: "Master, first find a way to appease the disciples, and then the disciple who reported the news will avoid some people. The more serious this matter is, the more we can't mess it up!"

Only then did Lu Yangshan come back to his senses, and Liushen nodded helplessly: "Yes...you all listen to senior brother."

Seeing his cowardly look, Cao Xiang'an knew that the owner of the villa could not count on this time.He had no choice but to drag his tired body and say a lot of soothing words, which was considered to temporarily stabilize the situation.Cao Xiang'an expended so much energy, closed the door and sat down on the chair, not wanting to move.He rubbed his temples, and said to Lu Yangshan in a low voice: "Now there are only a few of us old people left in the hall, so it's important to discuss a regulation quickly."

Now, seven of the thirteen elders are outside, and most of them have not heard from them; among the remaining six, except for the one who has no master Lu and the elder Qu who is always drifting with the crowd, there are probably only four and a half who can make up their minds.Cao Xiang'an sighed: "Even if there are a few crazy monsters in the back mountain, they will definitely not be able to jump such a big wave. There must be a powerful enemy playing tricks among them. In this way, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the open. , do you have any ideas?"

Yuxiu Villa has been stable for hundreds of years, and such a thing has never happened, and the elders have little experience.Everyone looked at each other, but it was Qu Xun who was the first to speak: "In my opinion, we can wait for the news. We don't have many powerful enemies, and no one can kill so many of our brothers at the same time... Besides, I I went to the back mountain with the owner, didn't I come out properly?"

An elder surnamed Sun sneered, and said: "This is the end of the matter, Junior Brother Qu no longer whitewashes the peace and deceives himself and others. You and the owner of the villa will go together, and the young disciples must weigh it carefully, but the rest Junior brother...but they are all on orders."

His meaningful words made Cao Xiang'an's face change: "Junior Brother Sun suspects that someone has been ambushing and killed the elders of our villa?"

Elder Sun nodded: "That's right. It's not difficult to pretend to be a ghost in the back mountain and hurt a few disciples, but it can attract the elders to visit and step into the ambush they set up early in the morning!" Seeing Qu Xun's face was not good, he still A word of comfort: "I'm also guessing, but please make a plan early, so that if my crow's mouth comes true, people will be beaten at a loss."

Cao Xiang'an pondered for a long while: "That's right, it is indeed the most important thing to be cautious at this time. Does Junior Brother Sun have any countermeasures?"

Elder Sun sneered, and said: "Where do I have any good ideas? Brother has gathered all the disciples in one place, and these days tell them not to act alone; don't send people to the back mountain. We are good at the villa. Too little, if it's true... Our old bones are useless, we still have to send people down the mountain to deliver the letter, please ask fellow Taoists from Tianji Mountain and Yinbaidang to come and help."

Cao Xiangan nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Elder Sun's words.But at this moment, Lu Yangshan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Brother Sun is reckless, if this is just a false alarm, wouldn't it be just a joke? Senior brother, I think we'd better wait for the news .”

Elder Sun frowned unabashedly: "The owner's words are wrong, is face or life more important?"

Lu Yangshan changed from his usual cowardice, and confronted Elder Sun tit for tat: "Life is of course important, but the thousand-year reputation of the villa doesn't matter?"

In the stalemate between the two sides, another disciple who reported the letter ran in scrambling, and said incoherently: "B-I'm back... Great Elder!"

Cao Xiang'an let out a long breath: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, what about others?"

The disciple's tone was full of tears: "The Great Elder is unconscious, and has been carried to the wing by the senior brothers to settle him down, and he sent his disciples to pass on the teaching."

Zeng Jiufeng's complexion was gray, his teeth were clenched, and his whole body was stiff.After a long time, Cao Xiang'an finally moved his hand away from his pulse, and said sadly: "Little brother is injured too badly, we can see if he can save his life. But his dao root is damaged and cannot be repaired. Cultivation... I'm afraid it will be difficult to go any further."

Practice is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you get sick and injured again, it means that your life is wasted.Even if Zeng Jiufeng was saved from this encounter, he might not have much time to live.

For a moment, everyone in the room looked concerned.

Cao Xiang'an wiped his eyes, and ordered: "Go and ask someone to deliver a letter to Head Jiang and Hall Master Cen. Even if the villa is safe and sound, please ask them to take a look at Jiu Feng's injury. Especially Head Jiang, Mr. Chu It can be done that way... Forget it, what if Jiu Feng can have a chance?"

The disciple took the order and left. Cao Xiangan had let go of his weakness just now, and said solemnly: "Who has such a deep hatred with us, could it be possible that the villa can still sneak into the magic cultivator? Go and investigate, all the disciples will investigate one by one. Don't let me know, who is eating inside and outside!"
