Deputy head

The Wulin League came here this time to find out the treasure of the previous dynasty. Now that the scorpion is in their hands, it is difficult for the Bronze Sect to be too excited. It is not conducive to the reputation of the Bronze Sect. Wang Xi's hair crown has been discovered, and now everyone knows that he has connections with the remnants of the previous dynasty. Naturally, we have to deal with this matter more actively; on the other hand, everyone is concerned about Wang Xi in the hands of the Wulin League.

Therefore, the elders of the Bronze Sect will open the gate for people to go up the mountain.

Mo Yiling grew up in the Bronze Sect, and he is very familiar with everything in the Bronze Sect. He should think he is very clear about whether there are treasures in the Bronze Sect.Don't talk about him, other people must think so. I guess everyone thinks this is a big misunderstanding, and it will be fine after checking it out.

But, if it's so simple, then why do I have to spend a lot of time to prepare?

Rong Cheng has been helplessly living with me in the Bronze School for two days. In order not to attract others' attention, we have kept a distance, but even so I can see that although Rong Cheng said he was not worried, in fact He has been carefully avoiding Mo Yiling all the time, for fear of being discovered by him, so he is full of dissatisfaction, but he has no one to complain. He has held back until today, and finally he only uttered an exasperated sentence: "The leader of the martial arts is too stupid. It's over." Two days later, I still haven’t figured out the treasure map.”

"So, that's why we went up the mountain." He and I have already walked to the front of the ancestral hall one after the other. There are many trees here where we can hide, so I can reunite with him, "Drag on like this There are risks, and the plan needs to be implemented a little bit faster."

In the ancestral hall stood the group of the Wulin League, and the leaders of the Bronze Sect were also there. Of course, Wang Xi was inside, and he looked at the memorial tablet coldly, without saying a word.

I turned my head and whispered to Rong Cheng: "Look, if Wang Xi leaves the gate of the ancestral hall later, you will assassinate him."

"Are you really crazy?" Rong Chengxun glared at me, and squeezed his words out through his teeth, "You actually want to attack Wang Xi?"

"Of course it's false. You ran away as soon as you shot. The purpose is not to kill him, but to let people know that you are going to kill him." I stayed away from him calmly, "You must prepare how to escape later, Don't be like last time. Most of these people are righteous people, and they won't use hidden weapons easily, but you have to be careful..."

"Worry about yourself." Rong Cheng was a little dissatisfied with me turning over the old score, "Last time it was just a moment of inattention, so where will we meet next time?"

"I'll see you at the covered bridge in front of Huayu Gate in the evening two days later."

"Okay, it's a deal." He turned onto the tree and put on the mask.

I squeezed out a smile, lowered my sense of existence, and slowly blended into the crowd of the ancestral hall.

The martial arts leader was frowning, looking at the treasure map in doubt: "Is this picture really real? I don't think there is any place in the Bronze Sect..."

"Leader, can you lend me a look?" I suddenly said, now that I am wearing a fake face and using a false voice, Wang Xi and Mo Yi and others should not recognize me, "I have learned some drawing skills, maybe I can See one or two."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Wuxi's eyes are fixed on me.

The leader is a little skeptical, but he has been looking for it for two days, and if he can't find it, he can only admit it, so he wants to try everything.

I took the treasure map, pretended to be thinking hard, and scratched back and forth on the paper. For a while, everyone stopped discussing and looked at me quietly. Return the picture to the leader.

"What do you see?"

I pretended to be coy: "This... this..."

"Little brother, it doesn't matter if you have something to say."

With this sentence as a guarantee, I took the treasure map again and looked at Wang Xi. He was indeed looking at me. There were many things in his eyes, doubts, confusion and a little hatred, but he didn't care about me after all. Open your mouth.

He didn't speak and I said, I bowed my head guiltyly: "You don't make maps, so you don't know. When you make maps in the previous dynasty, you will leave this kind of symbol on the special markers." Missing markers, "There are only two obvious markers in this picture, both of which are outside the Bronze School, but according to the proportions, this treasure place... should be near the ancestral hall."

Hearing my words, Wang Xi's eyes could almost be described as fierce.

I didn't stop because of the sudden change in his eyes: "There are open spaces on three sides of the ancestral hall. If the treasure is not buried in the ground... then there is something strange about the cliff on which the ancestral hall is backed."

The leader looked around for a week, his eyes fell on Wang Xi, but Wang Xi just stared at me, he finally spoke out, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want to do in front of your ancestors?"

Being stared at by Wang Xi with such gaze, I only felt a chill down my spine, and almost lost the battle.

But no, it's only half of the plan, and it can't stop here.

I took a deep breath.

"...That's from your Bronze Sect, it has nothing to do with me."

Wang Xi's eyes widened for a moment, and I stopped talking immediately, I could imagine what kind of expression he would show me, I still can't accept such disgust, so I can only avoid it temporarily.

"Master Wang, what an offense." The leader waved his hand, and several people immediately walked towards the enshrining place where the memorial tablet was, and began to move tables and chairs. Can't break free from the shackles of those around me.Mo Yiling was very angry about this, but he still held back, maybe this vengeful boy wanted to settle the score afterwards.

I watched those tablets being removed. Someone knocked on the wall and found that one place was empty, so they immediately smashed it down with their palms.A small space leaked out. When someone came to look carefully at it, there was a gap in the ground. Everyone was so happy that they used the gap as a handle to lift up, and a passage entrance was indeed leaked.

Everyone in the Bronze Sect was stunned, no one knew there was such a place.

No wonder they don't know.

This is a place that only the head knows. The heads of all generations have told the secret when the next head is crowning the coronation ceremony. However, the old head died on the eve of the coronation ceremony. Wang Xi naturally does not know this secret. For other people who knew the secret, their tablets were placed in this dark room.

except me.

[-]

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this secret room again.

Everyone scrambled to get in, and I stood in the ancestral hall, watching those people moving with different expressions, and soon there were exclamations from inside.

"It's a gold nugget with the official seal of the previous dynasty!"

"But why are there only three pieces? The rest are tablets!"

"Look again, maybe there is a dark room!"

"No more!"

Naturally, this amount cannot be regarded as a treasure, and everyone was in an uproar, all looking at the leader of the martial arts, who was naturally steady, and turned to look at Wang Xi: "Do you know where these three gold pieces come from?"

"I don't know!" Wang Xi's words were sonorous, "I didn't know there was such a place behind the ancestral hall... You are really good at hiding!"

The latter sentence was directed at me, and he was already angry.

I bowed my head and remained silent.

The leader went to touch the gold nugget, then frowned, then checked the gap on the wall of the ancestral hall, pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Master Wang, don't be angry, there is something strange about this matter."

"What's wrong?" The person next to him suddenly said, and I noticed that he was Wen Wulin, but he changed his clothes, and his whole demeanor changed, completely different from the indifferent appearance when we met before , I didn't recognize it for a while.

"There is no ash on the gold block, and the wall is old, so it should be completely dry, but there should be no wet mud at the hole that was just broken, even if it is wet. It's like a mess."

After all, the leader is the leader, even if he can't understand the treasure map, he should still be vigilant in this regard.

"If I'm not wrong... There are some things we haven't investigated."

As soon as the leader of the martial arts said this, everyone present was shaken. Although the leader didn't say it clearly, the meaning was already very clear—this might be a blame game, someone blamed the Bronze Sect.

If it is really blame, then the secret behind it is not just hiding the treasures of the previous dynasty.

My goal has been achieved, and Wang Xi couldn't care less about staring at me anymore, so I quietly exited the ancestral hall.

After waiting for a while, everyone also came out one after another, the suppression on Wang Xi had been lifted, and he came out alone with a stern expression after regaining his freedom.Rong Chengxun who was on the tree immediately flew down and ran straight towards Wang Xi.If I didn't know the truth, I would really think this is an assassin. This time, Rong Chengxun's movements were no longer loose, and were much sharper than before. After Wuxi took the two moves, Wen Wulin and the leader immediately came to help, Rong Chengxun He didn't love to fight, and acted like he knew he couldn't succeed, as if he was going to make a last-ditch effort.

After passing a few more hands, he seemed to be unintentionally removed by the leader, and immediately turned and fled.

While everyone was looking at Rong Chengxun, I changed my voice again, and said in a moderate voice: "This is the merchant who used the Yuanbao of the former dynasty in Daikuifang that day!"

This word will fall into the ears of many people present, and the person who gave Wang Xi the hair crown will come to assassinate Wang Xi again. No matter who it is, they will want to know what is going on, especially the people in the government.

They were ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the facts. This is not something that can be solved by simply arresting a few people and beating them up. They must grasp the real remnants of the previous dynasty, and they will not simply slaughter the Bronze Sect as a scapegoat.

As a result, the focus of the investigation will shift.

But any sensible person will think, if Wang Xi really colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, how dare he wear the hair crown openly?

Why did the person who took away the hair crown in the capital that day come to assassinate him?

Who is the person who handed the hair crown to Wang Xi?

These are all questions, and everyone will happily try to explore these questions, hunting for the treasures of the previous dynasty, and no one will notice my hands and feet.

This is the end of the stage of concealing identity.It's time for me to show up.

The author has something to say: Is anyone watching? 【Confuse
