Chapter 425: Speculations on the Actions of Ghost Manor

Ignoring the two dead men who were destined to be hanging in the mountains and forests in the original book, Su Shaoying and the other two returned to Jiujiang after touring the lake.

When they returned to Jiujiang, Mu Daoren and Gusong Jushi also disappeared. Another Wudang disciple appeared and gave them an invitation.

[April 13, Wudang Grand Ceremony]

"April 13 this year is the anniversary of the death of Mei Zhenren, the former head of Wudang, and the celebration of the tenth anniversary of Shi Yan Zhenren's succession to the throne." Hua Manlou said, "Shi Yan Zhenren said last time that he would confirm the successor in this hall."

Ouyang Qing couldn't help asking, "Shi Yan Zhenren is in his prime, why does he want to confirm the successor so early?"

"Because he is sick." Hua Manlou said lightly, "and he is very sick."

Su Shaoying couldn't help looking at Hua Manlou, "How did you know?"

Although Su Shaoying knew that Shi Yan Zhenren had an incurable disease, he didn't say it because Shi Yan Zhenren didn't tell them, but how did Hua Manlou know?

"Of course I feel it." Hua Manlou's smile was filled with a hint of compassion. "I can feel that Master Shi Yan's vitality is gradually dissipating. Although he is less than fifty years old, he gives me the feeling that he is already in his twilight years."

Because he can't see, Hua Manlou's perception is much more sensitive than ordinary people, and he can even feel many things that cannot be seen with the eyes, such as a person's condition.

Su Shaoying and Ouyang Qing would not doubt Hua Manlou's judgment.

So Ouyang Qing suddenly realized, "No wonder he is so anxious to find Lu Xiaofeng to deal with Ghost Manor, because he is running out of time!"

Ghost Manor may be brewing some conspiracy, maybe it is related to Wudang Sect, maybe it is about to start, but with Master Shi Yan's martial arts and Wudang Sect's background, who can be afraid of it?

So Master Shi Yan took the initiative to ask Lu Xiaofeng for help, which is itself a not normal thing.

But once you think about the fact that Shi Yan Zhenren suffers from a chronic illness and has not much time left, everything makes sense. In the Wudang Sect, when even Mu Dao Ren is not trustworthy, asking Lu Xiaofeng to handle the case is indeed the best solution.

He handles cases quickly and accurately. Except for a little time consuming friends, there is no other major problem.

"April 13, Wudang celebration..." Su Shaoying looked at the invitation in her hand and felt quite curious.

In the original work, Wudang Hall did not invite Emei Sect. Unexpectedly, because she got involved in the matter of Ghost Villa, she received an invitation to the ceremony.

The celebration of the tenth anniversary of the succession of the Wudang leader and the confirmation of the successor is of course grand, but the leaders of other major sects will not be invited. After all, this is just an internal matter of the sect. Even if other major sects are invited, they are all old friends who are familiar with each other.

—— If the leader of a famous sect is socializing all day, he really has no time for himself.

Therefore, the person who came from Shaolin Temple for this Wudang Festival was not the headmaster Dabei Zen Master, but Master Tiejian, who was second only to the headmaster. The leader of the Beggars' Sect did not come either, but the honorary elder Wang Shidai.

Bashan was not very populous, so Xiao Gu from Bashan came in person. The other people from Changjiang Water Village, Twelve Linked Docks, and Yandang Sect were not of high status, and they had a close personal relationship with Shi Yan, and they participated in this action, so they also came in person.

Hua Manlou heard Su Shaoying's words, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Gu Feiyun said that Ghost Villa will have a big move soon. Will it be on April 13, on Wudang Mountain?"

"This is indeed a very suitable time to take action." Su Shaoying smiled.

However, Ouyang Qing asked in confusion, "This celebration is the Wudang Sect's celebration to commemorate the death anniversary of Mei Zhenren, the tenth anniversary of Shi Yan Zhenren's succession, and the confirmation of the successor, and so many Jianghu friends have been invited.

As a result, Wudang Mountain must be on high alert and more cautious than usual. They may not even be able to get close to Wudang Mountain, let alone bring weapons in. How can they act?"

Su Shaoying looked at Ouyang Qing and smiled without saying a word.

Hua Manlou fell into silence and sighed again.

Ouyang Qing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and she seemed to understand.

"If there is someone in Wudang Mountain to respond, these problems will naturally not be a problem, but it will be easier to catch these people off guard." Ouyang Qing said.

And if the responder is Mu Dao Ren, it will not attract anyone's attention.

Ouyang Qing couldn't help but sigh, "No matter how you calculate, Mu Dao Ren is becoming more and more suspicious?"

"But this is still a guess, and the premise of the guess is that Ghost Villa will take action on Wudang Mountain on April 13." Hua Manlou said lightly, "And this is just an assumption of ours."

"So we can only say this in private, and never tell it to the Eagle's Nest." Su Shaoying smiled.

The people in the Eagle's Nest, even the youngest Bashan Xiao Gu, are not of the same generation as them. These people have been friends with Mu Dao Ren for decades. How could they let them make random guesses without any basis?

Ouyang Qing couldn't help but sigh, "So now we can only wait for news from Lu Xiaofeng?"

"That's right." Hua Manlou nodded, "Because our guess may be wrong."

"I really hope your guess is wrong. I dare not imagine that Mu Dao Ren, who is famous in the martial arts world and has a high status, could be the owner of Ghost Villa who hides and plots in secret." Ouyang Qing said.

"The contrast is a bit big." Su Shaoying smiled, "I am looking forward to the expressions of the old men like Master Tiejian and Wang Shidai when they see Mu Daoren hiding his identity."

Ouyang Qing couldn't help but smile, "What kind of expression can they have? They will definitely be very surprised, but how do you know whether they are really surprised or fake?"

"Hmm?" Su Shaoying raised her eyebrows.

Ouyang Qing said lightly, "They are all old martial artists who have been in the martial arts world for decades and have experienced everything. If Mu Daoren has a hidden identity, how do you know if they will have another side?"

"It seems that you know something?" Su Shaoying smiled.

"It's just some trivial matters." Ouyang Qing curled his lips, "But I don't know Mu Daoren."

If Ouyang Qing didn't say it, Su Shaoying wouldn't ask, and the original book also described these people from the side. In the eyes of Master Shi Yan, Wang Shidai is narrow-minded, Bashan Xiao Gu is narcissistic, and Master Tiejian is also trying not to retire, greedy for power and fame.

Of course, they are not as great and glorious as they appear outside.

It's just that they have nothing to do with Ghost Manor, and their martial arts and power are sufficient, so Master Shi Yan still dragged them all into the plan to deal with Ghost Manor.

In the adult world, there is only worth or not, not like or not.
