life and death deed

Chapter 637 Protect him!

Soon, we arrived at Jiashan.

The disciples of Jiashan were probably not particularly surprised to see me because they had learned about my return yesterday.

After greeting several familiar-looking disciples in Jiashan, Su Jiu and I went straight to the Palace Lord's Palace.

There were two disciples standing outside the palace, seemingly guarding the gate.

"Elder brother! Envoy of Su Jiufu!"

The two disciples said respectfully to us.

"Open the door, I want to see the palace master." I said calmly.

"This... senior brother, it's unlucky for you to come. The master of the palace has just gone to Yishan to visit the old man of Yishan mansion who has returned." The disciple said with a bitter look on his face.

I pretended to be surprised.

"Okay, senior brother, I will go to Mount Yi to inform the master of the palace for you!" The disciple looked at me and said.

Su Jiu quickly raised her hand and said: "No need, don't disturb the Palace Master's affairs. Senior Brother and I will wait for the Palace Master here first."

The disciple hesitated for a moment and said, "That's okay."

After saying that, the two disciples continued to guard outside the palace door, looking at me with curious eyes.

Su Jiu laughed dryly at this moment and said: "You two, this road is narrow for you, I don't care, you just let senior brother stand at this door?"

"Ah!" Only then did the two disciples react, and they immediately took out a jade pendant and opened the palace door.Said: "Although the master of the palace said that no one can enter without his permission, the same is not true for senior brother. You can come in and wait."

"That's right."

Su Jiu smiled and walked in first.

I followed suit one step later.

After entering, the two disciples wisely closed the door.

"I remember there were no gatekeeper disciples before, right?" I asked Su Jiu softly.

I have been to the palace master's palace many times, but it seems that I have never seen the gatekeeper disciple.

A sneer flashed across Su Jiu's face, and she said: "Perhaps the fake palace master is afraid that something in the palace will be discovered, so he increased the defense. Senior brother, there must be something weird in this palace!"

I nodded silently. I knew all about the weird things in the palace. They were under the bed in front of me!
It looks like a bed on the surface, but is actually a coffin, with the body of Lord Zhen lying inside!

"Let's look for it." Su Jiu said, and then began to search the palace.

I walked directly to the bed where the fake palace master was lying.

"Su Jiu..."

I spoke calmly.

"What's the matter, big brother?"

Su Jiu turned to look at me.

"There's something weird about this bed. It's hollow underneath." I said.

Su Jiu's expression was slightly stunned, and then he quickly walked towards me and said, "Elder brother! Let's open it quickly and take a look!"

I nodded, uncovered the cloth on the bed, and prepared to open the bed coffin.

Although I had seen it last time, and it stands to reason that I could open the coffin with a normal heart, but for some reason, my heart couldn't help but beat faster this time.

After taking a deep breath, I opened the bed coffin directly!
And soon, I was stunned!

The cold air hit my face, and the temperature inside the bed and coffin was extremely low, just like before. But the problem was that at this moment, there was nothing in the bed and coffin!
Nothing!
The body of the real master is missing!
I frowned, how could the body of Lord Zhen disappear?

"Elder brother! This is an ice coffin! The palace master's body must have been inside!" Su Jiu said to me.

I nodded and said, "Well, I just don't know if the corpse inside was taken to another place by the pretended palace master."

The question at hand is, where did the body of the real master go?

"not necessarily."

But Su Jiu shook his head.

I was slightly startled and said, "W-what's wrong?"

"Elder brother, don't you remember what the palace master left? He is not dead! So it may not be that the pretended palace master took away his body. Maybe the palace master escaped on his own!"

Su Jiu said in a positive tone.

I was stunned again.

Although I still don’t quite believe that the real master of the palace is not dead, Su Jiu’s words are not impossible.

"Then tell me, if the master of the palace has escaped, where will he go? There doesn't seem to be a good hiding place in the five mountains of Dongsheng, right?"

After a while, I asked Su Jiu doubtfully.

Su Jiu thought for a while and said: "The person pretending to be the palace master is very powerful. Our entire Dongsheng group may not be his opponent. Even if the palace master escapes, he will definitely not show up. Dongsheng Wushan is indeed not very good." The hiding place, it is possible that the palace master left Dongsheng."

"How many other ancient places have you been to?" I asked with a frown.

Su Jiu shook her head and said: "Not necessarily, maybe even after leaving the ancient land."

My pupils shrank and I left the ancient land, that is to say, I went to the underworld!Went to the hot summer!
"Su Jiu, it would be great if the master of the house is not dead. If he really goes to Yanxia, ​​I will find a way to find him." I said out loud.

Su Jiu nodded solemnly, looking at me with eyes full of expectation!

When I think of Yanxia, ​​my thoughts begin to wander. It has been a long time since I fled in embarrassment. Although I am still unable to compete with Shangguan Huayu who has a gilt armor, I think it is time to find a chance to go back to Yanxia. look.

The immortal position that Xue Li mentioned, and the suspected escape of Palace Master Zhen to Yanxia, ​​all require me to go there...

Furthermore, I thought about those friends in Yanxia, ​​especially the two women from the Shangguan clan in Taiyi Cave... "While the fake master of the palace hasn't come back, let's see if there are any clues in the palace." Su Jiu said vocal channel.

Apart from this bed and coffin, there is nothing weird about the palace. I know this very well.

Apart from the bed and coffin, there was nothing else except the body of Lord Zhen.

But seeing Su Jiu's cautious look, I still searched carefully again.

The final result was just as I expected, and we found no other clues.

But just when I was almost looking for the palace, an idea popped into my mind!
Since the words left by the real Palace Master could be heard in Mr. Hong's palace, then maybe there are also the words left by the fake Palace Master in this palace master's palace?

As soon as I thought about this, I had a vague hunch in my heart that it might actually happen!
I eagerly lay down on the ground and put my ears close to the ground, without explaining to Su Jiu first.

The rest of the senses gradually disappeared, leaving only the hearing that was still there and extremely sensitive. A few seconds later, a familiar voice came from the ground!
"——Protect him!"

Just four words, concise and powerful!
My eyes widened, it really happened!There are really words left by the true Palace Master in this palace master’s palace!

But soon, I started to wonder, what does 'protect him' mean?
Who is he?

Only these four words are left, which makes people a little confused.

"Elder Brother, what's wrong?"

Su Jiu looked at me doubtfully.

I waved to him and said, "Su Jiu, get down quickly and listen. There are also words left by the master of the palace here!"

"Oh, really!"

Su Jiu was shocked when he heard this. He quickly lay down and listened.

But soon, his expression gradually solidified.

"How's it going? Did you hear that? Who did the palace master ask us to protect?" I asked Su Jiu aloud.

Su Jiu stood up, smiled awkwardly at me, and said, "Elder brother, are you...are you sure you heard the sound?"

"Sure." I nodded. After a few seconds, my eyelids moved and I said in disbelief: "Didn't you hear that?"

Su Jiu looked at me with a strange expression and nodded.

"impossible!"

I stayed close to the ground again and started listening!

"——Protect him!"

The same sentence, the same voice appears again!It's not my imagination!
"Su Jiu, did you really not hear the words 'protect him'?" I asked attentively.

"Not really."

Su Jiu shook his head.

It's really strange. Am I the only one who can hear it?Are these four words "protect him" specially told to me by Palace Master Zhen?
But I have never met Master Zhen, and he may not even know that Yan Xia has come a long time ago and become the senior brother of Dongsheng Yin Palace. How could he say such a sentence to me alone?

"Then... Su Jiu, do you know there are any important people or items in Dongsheng Hermitage that need to be protected?"

I asked Su Jiu.

Su Jiu shook his head and said: "Except for the Five Paths Saint Qi machine in the hands of the person pretending to be the master of the palace, I, Dongsheng, don't have anything too precious. As for people... I'm afraid it's just you, senior brother."

My face condensed slightly. Although I am important to Dongsheng, I don't need protection from others. There is no one in Dongsheng who has the strength to protect me. The 'he' that Master Zhen talks about is definitely not me. There is no doubt about this. .

"Forget it, the fake palace master will be back soon, let's leave first."

After silently remembering the words left by Palace Master Zhen in my heart, I spoke out.

"it is good."

Su Jiu nodded.

This time is naturally not a good time to meet the fake palace master, so I am not going to wait for him to come back.

After Su Jiu and I restored the venue, we walked out of the hall.

"What's the matter, big brother?"

The disciple guarding the gate saw us coming out and said curiously.

"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do. The master of the palace has not returned yet. I will visit him again tomorrow." Su Jiu smiled and explained to the disciple guarding the gate.

"I see. Then I will wait for Senior Brother and Su Jiufu's envoy tomorrow. Let's go slowly."

The disciple guarding the gate didn't have any suspicion and let us go directly.

I said goodbye to Su Jiu and returned to my senior brother's palace.

This palace was burned and destroyed by Su Yi before, but it was later repaired by the fake master. Although it was no longer protected by a powerful defensive formation, it could still be occupied by people.

Nowadays, the magic circle that can protect the realm of manifestation is dispensable to me, and it doesn't matter whether I have it or not.

After returning to the palace, I am ready to continue practicing the magic of immortality and prepare to condense the third path of the sage energy!
The road to promotion is long and the only way is to accumulate time.

And just when the night began to sweep over Donggudi, and both the inside and outside of the house were shrouded in darkness...

boom--

A noise appeared.

I suddenly came out of my cultivation state.

I raised my eyes and looked outside the door, only to see a familiar figure appear at the door...
