Young man, please stay

Chapter 188 The truth about Juxian Pavilion

For an old woman who looked like an upside-down bat, Qin Lang immediately thought of the equally disgusting Lao Deng.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with Wei Yifeng?"

"..."

The old woman hanging upside down from the beam obviously did not expect that Qin Lang would first mention a name that she had never heard of before her "brilliant debut".

"What are you talking about, kid? I don't know Wei Yifeng."

"Oh, that's okay."

Qin Lang nodded thoughtfully:

"I see that you are so cynical and disgusting. I thought you and that Lao Deng were in the same group, or even old friends..."

"..."

To be honest, the old woman was a little uneasy.

Her appearance in this way has shocked many juniors before. Normally, the other party should tremble and worship her on the spot. Why is this ignorant young man in front of her so disrespectful?

Swah——

Snapped!

So, the old woman fell down from the beam with a gloomy look on her face, and landed right next to the chair at the top of the stairs. She put the brush in the booklet back into the pen holder, closed the booklet again, and raised her eyes to look at Qin Lang:

"Son, what are you here for?"

Qin Lang frowned:

"Lao Deng, don't call me kid. Do you have a tutor? Do you believe I can call you lao'er?"

Qin Lang didn't mean to anger the old woman here, he really resented her calling him that.

Although he can be regarded as fatherless and motherless in this world, in terms of qualifications, the only one who can call him "son" is senior sister Mu Xuanli. Qin Lang will basically feel very uncomfortable if others call him "son".

"Well, you rude young man..."

The old woman's voice was unrecognizable, but she was actually full of anger. She asked Qin Lang a few more questions in a perfunctory manner:

"How did you get in..."

"Master Huang's permission."

"What are you here for..."

"Read a book."

"Ah…"

Who comes here not to read? The old woman sneered and pressed the book on the table again:

"Have you seen this thing?"

"I am from Juxian Pavilion, can't you see this?"

"Hahaha...it doesn't matter if you want to see it or not, I have the final say if you want to live forever!"

At this point, the old woman stopped talking nonsense, turned her right hand into a claw, and thrust straight towards Qin Lang with a stroke of the blue dragon rising out of the sea.

……

She maintains her identity and does not need to take Qin Lang's "Huang Youwan Charter" seriously.

Who can go to the fifth floor without special privilege?

Those on the sixth floor didn't even need Huang Youwan's permission. The reason why they were willing to serve as trump cards for Juxian Pavilion was mostly because of the regent's face.

Therefore, in the eyes of the old woman, the young Qin Lang, no matter who he was, whether he was a well-connected person or a genius, he would be prepared to face his own anger if he got himself into trouble.

Of course, she would hold back and not beat Qin Lang to death. At most, she would knock Qin Lang unconscious and let him sleep for two days, and then wait for him to wake up and apologize properly.

……

However, it turns out that the old woman thought too much.

Clang——!

"what?"

The old woman's claw reached out, but did not touch Qin Lang himself. The old woman only felt a cold sensation on her fingertips, as if she had tapped something metal. After seeing clearly, she couldn't help but be surprised:

"Master Huang...allow you to come up with a knife?! Who are you..."

"Going to the fifth floor with permission" and "bringing weapons to the fifth floor" are completely different things. At least the old woman had never encountered this situation before, so she didn't notice Qin Lang's single sword tucked into his waist at first.

broken…

This junior seems to be a truly important person...

Faced with this situation, the old woman immediately began to consider stopping to ask the situation clearly, but the problem was that the situation did not allow her to stop. Qin Lang snorted, stepped forward, forehand, backhand and then forehand, three times. With the sound of hunting, the chopper was aimed at the old woman's left arm, middle door, and severed her right arm.

"Junior, wait a minute!"

The old woman took the time to shout. At the same time, the knuckles of her hands were covered with a faint green light, as hard as gold and stone. She waved out a few claws and blocked Qin Lang's three swords.

But she never expected that she would be able to block easily, but instead she would have to take several steps back.

"you?"

Today’s “surprises” came one after another, and the shock in the old woman’s eyes became even brighter:

"At your age, you are actually a half-step master?"

"Really? I don't know."

Qin Lang responded calmly. He really didn't know what his current level was, and what standard it was in the world. On the contrary, it was this old woman's level that made him suddenly realize that the fifth level was nothing more than that.

Ok…

So the power that Su Yupan felt was on the sixth level... But this old woman was quite a hindrance. Seeing that she didn't show much mercy when she first attacked, Qin Lang decided to deal with her first and then go out. The killing move will come out. Whether she can block it or not depends on her own ability.

Therefore, Qin Lang directly mobilized his inner power, wrapped his right hand and the blade of the sword with a faint golden light, stepped forward with a bow and approached the old woman again, and then used several consecutive moves to turn the strange python over and chop out several lines of energy visible to the naked eye. The golden light intertwined, making this woman The pillars in a narrow area away from the bookcase were broken with countless knife marks.

"What a mess!"

Qin Lang looked like he didn't care, but the old woman couldn't ignore it. She raised her foot and kicked the seat at the entrance of the stairs to leave enough space, lest Qin Lang destroy this important thing.

Immediately, she also waved her two dry palms, using her strong internal strength to tear apart streams of equally powerful energy in the air, and collided with Qin Lang's knife shadow.

For a moment, the originally peaceful fifth floor heard the sound of crackling iron and stone hitting almost the entire Juxian Pavilion. The entire fifth floor seemed to be penetrated by a sudden strong wind. The doors, windows, seats, and bookcases were all shaken and rattled. .

When everything finally calmed down, the old woman half-knelt in front of Qin Lang, spit out a mouthful of blood and said in horror:

"Slow down! Wait a minute, young hero!"

"What are you afraid of? We are all colleagues, and I have no intention of killing you."

Qin Lang put away the knife, rubbed the two cuts on his chest, and looked at the old woman with disdain:

"That's it? I can see that even if you try your best, you're only a little better than Wang Liu. Why bother?"

"..."

The old woman's eyebrows jumped when she heard this. She was a little better than Wang Liu, could it be called "that's it"?

"Dare I ask you young hero...this year..."

"I'm twenty, alas..."

Qin Lang sighed:

"I'll be twenty-one soon, I'm getting old..."

"..."

Okay, this time we really encountered a monster.

"This time, I am being reckless. Since Mr. Huang allows you to bring the knife up here, you can browse the books on the fifth and sixth floors. But I want to remind you that the people on the sixth floor are not as easy to talk to as I am, and they don't know how to give. Huang Youwan has a lot of face, so you’d better act more humbly.”

"I know, it depends on your mood."

"..."

"So, since you have been staying on the fifth floor for a long time, have you ever heard of a book called "Yunji Seven Signs"?"

Now Qin Lang asked directly, thinking that the old woman should know the contents of the books on the fifth floor.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The old woman said that she is the only one on the fifth floor. She is usually responsible for recording the tasks of Juxian Pavilion and regularly taking stock of the books on the fifth floor.

As for the book "Yunji Seven Signs", the old woman said that originally the book was on the fifth floor, but later during an inventory, it was placed on the sixth floor.

"Does that mean this book really exists?"

Qin Lang's eyes lit up at that moment, he picked up the knife and went straight to the sixth floor, but before leaving, he remembered to ask the old woman:

"In the Juxian Pavilion operation log you recorded, what does 'Xunlong' refer to? Also, whose order is 'Wang Ling'?"

"this…"

"What is this?"

Qin Lang touched the knife in his hand:

"I'm impatient. Don't wait for me to ask Huang Youwan in person."

"Don't worry, young hero, I just said so."

In fact, they were colleagues in the past. These tasks and references were not secrets. Qin Lang would also do them in the future, so the old woman did not get too entangled and told Qin Lang directly that the so-called "Xunlong" was what Huang Youwan had been doing for a long time. I am looking for a mental method called "Dragon Heart Jue".

"Dragon Heart Jue..."

Qin Lang's heart skipped a beat.

This Huang Youwan obviously doesn't know martial arts, but he has been spending all his energy to find a book of inner skills. Qin Lang can basically confirm that his purpose should be the same as that of Zhou Ning, the former magistrate of Qingzhou. The saying goes: "Length of life for hundreds of years"...

"Then 'Wang's order' refers to whose order?"

"Of course...the regent..."

"..."

Got it, Qin Lang understands everything.

This Huang Youwan probably originally built the Juxian Pavilion to find Longding Villa's unique internal energy method "Dragon Heart Jue".

In order to maintain the existence of Juxian Pavilion, which was suspected of being arrogant, Huang Youwan chose to use the Regent as his backer. As a price, Juxian Pavilion also became one of the Regent's tools, and would occasionally help the Regent with some tasks. Dirty work.

For example, what Qin Lang saw on the booklet was [Get rid of the magistrate of Cao County].

If Qin Lang guessed correctly, the magistrate of Cao County should happen to be the [New Emperor Faction] who supported the empress' baby. He didn't know what he did to offend the regent, so he was killed.

Now, Huang Youwan may have found "Dragon Heart Secret", but like Zhou Ning, the discovery was incomplete.

Or maybe not even a drop was found.

In short, no matter which one, he therefore focused on Qin Lang, the "successor" of Huilongding Villa's secret knowledge, and believed that the internal strength Qin Lang was currently using, as well as the fragments of the book Qin Lang was looking for, were "Dragon Heart Jue" 》.
