Chapter 18
The City Lord's Mansion was built on Wenle Mountain. There are many caves in Wenle Mountain, and naturally many of them were built into secret rooms. In a stone room, He Longtao faced the man in black in fear, his body trembling slightly.

"What did you say, kill the wolf!"

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from the man in black, his black robe was lifted off, revealing his bewitching and handsome face, his two eyes were like a black hole, possessing a fatal attraction.

He Longtao did not dare to look up, because he knew that once he looked up and saw the face in black, his body might appear in a certain river the next day; even the body would not exist, and he would feed it to the dogs directly.

"Lord, calm down." He Longtao said tremblingly.

The man in black snorted coldly and said, "What explanation are you going to give me?"

"The humble official will definitely catch that young man, hand it over to the Lord himself, and give the Lord an account."

He Longtao's body was covered with sweat, and he spoke with difficulty, his heart full of fear.He knew that the calmer the master's tone, the more dangerous his situation would be.

"Give me an explanation, or forget it!" The man in black sneered, and said: "For the sake of what you have done to my Yunzong, I will spare your life first, and you don't care about this matter." There is no need to test that young man any more.”

He Longtao's face suddenly showed joy, he didn't expect that the Lord would let him go like this, and he happily replied loudly: "The humble job will never disappoint the Lord's expectations!"

"get out!"

The man in black drove He Longtao away in disgust, his body turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in the secret room.

In an empty cave on the top of Wenle Mountain, a man in black appeared in a stone room. He slowly took off his black robe and put on a white robe.

"Boom..." Behind him came the sound of the stone door being opened.

"Junior brother, you have changed." A faint voice came from behind him, the voice was a bit desolate.

"Really, brother." Zheng Congqi, who was wearing a white robe, began to chuckle.

Looking at the middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s, Zheng Congqi's eyes were flat. Since ten years ago, he has never given this senior brother any good looks.

Ning Wuque seems to have a special extraordinary temperament, which is a kind of martial arts spirit of tranquility and inaction.

He was wearing a Taoist robe, and the black and white on the Taiji diagram were distinct, as if there was some endless mystery.

"Brother, have you ever successfully practiced the sect's "Tian Yun Luan Wu"?" Zheng Congqi asked lightly.

Ning Wuque sighed and said, "I have already succeeded in cultivation, otherwise I wouldn't have left the test."

The stone room fell silent.

For a while.

Ning Wuque put his hands behind his back, and Zheng Cong, who was standing beside him, said strangely: "Senior Brother, this time, my Yunzong has encountered a problem, and I need to borrow someone from you."

"Oh?" Ning Wuque asked in surprise, he hadn't seen anything his junior brother couldn't solve.

"Of course, who do you want to borrow?"

Ning Wuque directly agreed that he just wanted to give his junior brother some compensation.

"Your apprentice, Hua Qingyu."

Zheng Congqi stared closely at Ning Wuque's face, to see his next reaction.

Ning Wuque was stunned for a moment, raised his head, looked into Zheng Congqi's eyes, and sighed, "Okay, it's time for Qingyu to go out and hone it."

At the top of Wenle Mountain, there is a stone platform paved with large bluestones. The stone platform has a radius of several tens of feet. On the east side is a towering stone wall, and on the west side is a bottomless cliff.

On the edge of the cliff on the stone platform, stood a woman in a pink dress, like a pink-faced peach blossom in early spring, exuding a warm breath on her body.

The skin on her body was as white as snow, and on her beautiful face, there was a pair of bright eyes, like stars in the sky, shimmering and shining. At this time, she was looking at the writing on the cliff, her eyes were shining brightly.

Hua Qingyu looked at the towering stone wall in front of her, and Hua Qingyu blinked her bright eyes. She has been cultivating alone in this almost completely closed "Tianyun Terrace" for three years.

There is a cave here for her to practice and live, and there are disciples and servants to deliver food to her, so in the past three years, she has never gone out, and because of hard training, her realm has been raised to the Great Perfection of Inner Qi, which is no better than that of the elders of the sect. how much difference.

At the age of only 21, she has reached such a state. She has been called a genius since she was a child, and she is worthy of her name, without any falsehood.

A gust of wind suddenly appeared in front of him, Hua Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing something, she smiled and said to the edge of the cliff, "Master, you are here."

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you."

Ning Wuque, who was dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, laughed, and climbed up from the dense cave under the cliff, stepping on the white clouds in the sky, and came to the stone platform with one step.

"Master~ this apprentice thinks of you!"

With a grin on Hua Qingyu's face, she shouted coquettishly at Ning Wuque, and at the same time, a stream of internal energy in her hand turned into slender air needles, and hit Ning Wuque.

"That's right, I haven't been lazy these days, but I still need to continue to work hard." Ning Wuque waved his Taoist robe, and the air needles touched his Taoist robe, and disappeared one after another.

Hua Qingyu showed a frustrated look on his face and said, "It's not like I can't beat Master."

Ning Wuque had a helpless smile on his face, looked at Hua Qingyu dotingly, he felt the luckiest to accept this apprentice.

In addition to her talent, she is very good at pleasing him, and he has always taken care of Hua Qingyu as a daughter. For him who is dedicated to seeking the Tao, this is incredible.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Hua Qingyu saw her master was in a trance, and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Ahem." Ning Wuque blushed slightly, and originally wanted to tell his apprentice Hua Qingyu directly about his junior brother's request to her, but when she said it with a smile, she almost forgot about it.

"Qingyu, from today onwards, you don't have to practice in closed doors every day. Your uncle entrusts you with a task, and you must not refuse it." Ning Wuque said to Hua Qingyu with a serious expression.

Hua Qingyu blinked, and asked, "Master Congqi? I used to see him bored every day, and I didn't come to see me in retreat. It is said that he stays at the foot of the mountain all day to deal with official business. Master, you say master uncle?" You won't get sick from boredom."

Seeing that Ning Wuque's face turned dark, Hua Qingyu stuck out her tongue, so she could get angry, the master was really biased.

"I don't know what task Master Uncle gave me." Hua Qingyu sneaked a glance at her master. From her point of view, the herbal festival in Xuzhou City is coming soon, and Master Uncle must have arranged for her to collect herbs on Wenle Mountain. task.

"Go down the mountain to the Qingyun Inn, a force secretly cultivated by Yunzong, and keep a close eye on a person. If that person does something unfavorable to the medicinal herb festival, immediately warn and stop it." Ning Wuque said sternly.

"Go down the mountain!" Upon hearing these two words, Hua Qingyu's eyes lit up immediately. Seeing that the master was so strict and she could go down the mountain to play, she naturally didn't say anything more, and she was very fond of the "that person" that the master said in her heart. Interested.

"Why, you don't want to? Then I'll go find someone else." Ning Wuque asked, but he knew in his heart that with Hua Qingyu's character, he would never miss any chance to go down the mountain.

"Don't, don't, master master told me to go, of course I won't stop." A smile bloomed on Hua Qingyu's beautiful face.

"Hmm..." Ning Wuque smiled and nodded.

"But master, why did master uncle send me to observe that person, I don't know him, and I have hundreds of disciples in Yunzong, how could it be my turn?" Hua Qingyu asked suspiciously.

"According to your uncle, that person is very powerful, and he is likely to be a young man trained by a top force. In this way, our older generation will naturally not bully the small with the big, and your generation has uneven strength. No, I'm afraid that you will suffer a disadvantage if you meet that young man, you have reached the state of inner qi perfection at a young age, and you are a woman, so it is not easy for him to notice, so you are the most suitable." Ning Wuque replied.

"So that's it." Hua Qingyu whispered, thought for a while, and then asked with a smile: "Master, I don't know what reward I will have after completing this task."

"You still want a reward? Don't you want to be able to go down the mountain!" Ning Wuque said with his eyes widened. Of course he would not be so stingy, this time he just wanted to tease this apprentice.

"Ah, master, don't." Hua Qingyu coquettishly said to Ning Wuque.

"Okay, okay, of course the master will let you do the task for nothing."

Ning Wuque looked at Hua Qingyu with a headache, and took out a small white jade sword with a length of one foot from his sleeve robe. There were bursts of cold light on the edge of the sword, but judging by the length of this small sword, it should be called a dagger. .

"Moon Shadow Sword!" Hua Qingyu's face showed surprise. The Moon Shadow Sword is only one foot long, but it is extremely sharp. With the scabbard hidden behind the body, it can be called a magic weapon if it is used for sneak attack.

Hua Qingyu kept begging for it, but Ning Wuque never gave it to her, which made her very depressed, but there was no way, who made the Moon Shadow Sword worth so much? give away.

"You are satisfied now." Ning Wuque shook his head and said.

"Of course I am satisfied." Hua Qingyu excitedly took over the Moon Shadow Sword Dao.

The peaks of Wenle Mountain are uneven, and the towering stone platform where Hua Qingyu is located is only one of the higher peaks.

Following the rugged mountain road, Hua Qingyu came to a secret room at the foot of Wenle Mountain. In the secret room was sitting a black-clothed masked man with a huge imposing body.

"Uncle Master." Hua Qingyu bowed respectfully, she did not dare to be naughty in front of this uncle who is known as the cold-faced Hades.

"Qingyu, do you know about this mission?" the man in black asked lightly.

"Return to Master Uncle, this junior understands." Hua Qingyu replied politely.

"In this case, you should go to Qingyun Inn immediately and keep an eye on the person in the painting. The magic medicine you picked is still in Xuzhou City, and you must not let him have a chance to snatch it away."

The man in black unfolded a portrait from his hands. In the painting was a young man, holding a long sword tightly in his hand, and his robes fluttering. It was Ji Tiancheng.

"Your junior remembers." Hua Qingyu glanced at it, secretly remembering his appearance and characteristics in his heart.

"You go." The man in black said.

Hua whispered and retreated, leaving only the man in black in the secret room, and then the man in black turned into smoke and disappeared, and the secret room became empty again.
