My wife, the eldest princess of the demon clan, I recite poems and become a sword god

Chapter 72 Hidden Sword Cottage (Seek to read and collect!)
Seeing the expressions of the two people in front of him concentrating on each other, Li Cheng also understood in his heart.

As a master at the fifth level, his spiritual perception is naturally not bad.

When he awakened the Sword God system ten years ago, he obtained the first and only system for free——

A passive skill called "Fakeness of Illusion", or a talent skill.

As long as he has a thought, he can pretend to be an ordinary person with his Dantian destroyed.

Even if the land gods came to inspect his body, they couldn't find anything strange about it.

Right now,

Obviously feeling Xie Jingzhi's chaotic pace, he could only pretend that he didn't notice anything, and asked in a low voice:
"Two seniors, what happened?"

Elder Diao came back to his senses, bowed his head respectfully, and spoke very quickly:
"Sir, Mr. Xie is coming from the corridor. It seems that there is something urgent."

The voice has not fallen,

The sound of hurried footsteps mixed with the sound of falling rain clearly reached the ears of the three people in the room from far to near.

With Li Cheng's understanding of Xie Jingzhi, he was able to make him put aside his noble demeanor. Being so busy was definitely not as simple as an emergency.

Thinking of this, he signaled Uncle Chen with his eyes, and opened the wooden door of the room.

After a few breaths,

Xie Jingzhi with a gloomy complexion walked out of the winding corridor and entered the room with big strides.

After looking at Li Cheng who was standing behind the door with his hands behind his back, Xie Jingzhi was startled for a while, and then he said concisely:
"Sir, uncle is critically ill."

This short sentence shocked everyone present.

The uncle in Xie Jingzhi's mouth refers to his third uncle, now the third master of the Xie family, Xie Tingfeng.

He is also Bai Mengyan's uncle.

Hearing this, he was stunned for just a moment. Li Cheng quickly approached Xie Jingzhi and said in a quick voice:
"Talking as we walk, have you informed Yan Yan?"

"My father just took Yan Yan to Cangjian Lu in person."

Xie Jingzhi immediately turned around, and while leading the way swiftly, he replied in a deep voice.

Hidden Sword House is the residence of Xie Tingfeng, the third master of the Xie family. It was originally called Jianmingyuan, which means "listen to the sound of the wind and the sound of the sword."

However, since Xie Tingfeng returned to Jiangdu from Chang'an ten years ago, he took the initiative to change the name of his residence.

And in these ten years, the other party was like drawing a circle as a prison, drawing a circle for himself, never leaving the Cangjian Lu.

think of these,

Li Cheng, who was almost running wildly in the corridor following Xie Jingzhi, inadvertently looked at the lake outside the eaves with his peripheral vision.

The misty landscape lake during the day was now being pitter-pattered by the night rain.

It's like being divided into countless broken mirrors.

The courtyard by the lake in the mist and rain is full of faint lights.

The messy figures coming and going are vaguely visible.

Looking away, Li Cheng prayed silently in his heart with no expression on his face.

I hope Yan Yan’s parents can see Xie Tingfeng one last time.

……

……

In fact, the entire Xie Mansion was built around a natural landscape lake.

There is a wooden pavilion by the lake that can protect you from wind and rain. It extends in all directions and can lead to all parts of the house.

The group of people walked along the corridor for about half a quarter of an hour and arrived outside the courtyard at the southeast corner of the landscape lake.

Last night, Li Cheng and Bai Mengyan came to visit the third master of the Xie family.

It's just that when I entered from the back garden with withered vegetation, I couldn't get a glimpse of the panoramic view of the hidden sword house.

And at this moment,
As soon as he hurried out of the end of the corridor, Li Cheng saw a strange stone as tall as a man standing by the lake.

The gray-brown boulder has a rough shape, and at the same time it looks like an epee. Most of the blade is buried deep in the rain-washed soil.

On the surface of the thick tree-trunk stone sword hilt, there are three large characters carved in silver with an iron hook:
"Green Water Lake"

I quickly glanced at the natural boulder,

Li Cheng took the long umbrella from the servants, hurriedly followed Xie Jingzhi's footsteps, and walked towards the hidden sword cottage with the door open.

Although it is late at night, people of all ages and genders can be seen everywhere in the courtyard of Hidden Sword House.

Seeing Xie Jingzhi coming with an umbrella, many tribesmen immediately gathered around and inquired about the news inside.

While the other party was being entangled for a short time,
Li Cheng, who was wearing a dark gown, noticed two inconspicuous earth bags piled under the willow tree with many branches in the courtyard.

Judging from the appearance, he recognized at a glance that these were actually two tombs.

In addition, judging by the size of the soil bag, there are no buried people in the two tombs, so they should be clothes tombs.

It's just that there are no tombstones erected in front of the Clothes Tomb, so I don't know who is offering sacrifices.

While he was thinking secretly,
Xie Jingzhi finally got rid of the entanglement of his clan members and led Li Cheng past the crowd and into the spacious living room.

There are several lamp stands with burning candles placed in the room, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

More than a dozen Taishi chairs are placed in two rows, beside which are sitting or standing Xie family real power clansmen with different expressions, most of them are elderly.

Seeing Li Cheng walking in, everyone stood up in unison.

The leader of the Xie family stepped forward and spoke to Li Cheng in a polite voice:
"Sir, please wait a moment. The head of the house and Miss Yan are talking to Tingting Feng inside."

"How is Uncle?" Li Cheng quickly asked in a low voice.

On the way here, he asked about the ins and outs of Xie Jingzhi's critical illness.

According to what the other party said, about a quarter of an hour ago, Xie Tingfeng, who had been unconscious for a long time, suddenly woke up.

Just as he woke up, the remaining vitality preserved by the thousand-year spiritual ginseng in his body began to leak irreversibly.

Several experienced doctors who were standing by the hospital bed unanimously issued a "critical illness notice" upon seeing this.

In this situation, even though he didn't have much hope, Li Cheng still tried to ask.

After hearing this, the Xie family elder shook his head with a bitter look on his face and sighed softly:
"Mr. Youlao is concerned, but Tingfeng is running out of gas at this moment, and it's hard for the gods to save him.

Life and death are determined by fate, and it is God's will. After all, it cannot be forced. "

Hearing this, Li Cheng fell silent immediately.

For this result, everyone present was mentally prepared.

however,
When the moment of farewell really appeared in front of us, we couldn't take it calmly.

To Li Cheng, Xie Tingfeng was just an elder whom he had met a few times.

But for the junior sister, the other party is one of the few close relatives she has.

Li Cheng raised his eyes and glanced upstairs. Li Cheng fell silent for a moment, and then asked in a very soft voice:
"Can you hold on until Sect Master Bai and his wife come back?"

Hearing this, the Xie family elder said nothing, just shook his head in silence.

As land gods, Bai Ye and Xie Yongxu are of course extremely powerful.

But after all, we cannot ignore the shackles of space.

Everything seems to have settled down.

After a few moments of silence, Li Cheng opened his mouth slightly to say something more, but suddenly he saw the attic door being pushed open with a creak.

The head of the Xie family, who was thin and had a long beard, hurriedly walked downstairs.

His slightly sunken eyes couldn't hide his exhaustion, but he still looked at Li Cheng decently:
"Xiao Cheng, my third brother wants to see you one last time."

"Okay, uncle."

Nodding his head, Li Cheng walked towards the stairs without any delay.

Just as he turned around and left,
The head of the Xie family turned to look at Xie Jingzhi, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Master Yurun, he still refuses to agree to rescue?"

Hearing this, Li Cheng paused immediately as he went upstairs.
