Inside and outside the Lingtian Gate, the best lightness kung fu is Bai Yitang's master and apprentice, and with Bai Yitang's breath restraining technique, it's easy for them to leave without anyone noticing.

So tonight, apart from Gu Jingyun, no one knew that Bai Yitang and Li Baolu had left Lingtian Gate.

Gu Jingyun was sitting on the bed, and lay down slowly under the quilt and closed his eyes for a long time. After a long time, he turned over, opened his eyes and stared blankly at the mosquito net on top. This time has already passed his time. Biological clock, obviously very sleepy, but can't fall asleep at all.

Gu Jingyun was a little irritable, and finally reached out and hugged Li Baolu's pillow next to him into his arms, then closed his eyes and waited for someone half asleep.

Since the day they left Qiongzhou, the husband and wife have never slept in separate rooms. They lie on the same bed every night. They don't need to see her all the time, as long as they know where she is.

However, he didn't even know where she went tonight. Gu Jingyun felt that this kind of mentality was abnormal. Baolu had the right to control her own time and freedom. How could he think of controlling everything about her?

Gu Jingyun frowned tightly, thinking about how to adjust this mentality.

But at this time, Bai Yitang took Li Baolu to jump up, and after crossing the cliff, they shuttled through the mountains. If Bai Yitang was not always leading her, she would definitely not be able to keep up with the master.

Sure enough, she was still much worse than her master.

The two of them flew over the peak and gradually landed in a stone forest. Bai Yitang took his apprentice's hand and led her through the standing stones. Li Baolu could see that this stone forest also had formations, and it was very similar to the one in the bamboo forest. Like, no wonder the master asked her to memorize formations, the patriarch really loves to use formations.

Passing through the stone forest, a stone house appeared in front of him, Bai Yitang pulled her forward, groped on the stone wall, but he didn't know where he came across, the flat stone wall in front of him slowly slid away with a "bang", Bai Yitang Yitang dragged her in.

Li Baolu looked at the stone house in amazement. From the outside, the stone house only had three small walls. She thought it was the same as the Lingtian Gate, and the other wall was a stone wall, so the space inside would not be very large, like a secret room, but now Entering it, I found that the stone house has a large space, at least twice as large as it looks from the outside. There is only a stone bed, a stone table and four stone benches inside, but there is a torch on the opposite side. channel.

This stone house actually leads to the inside of the mountain.

Bai Yitang pulled her forward, and a torch was inserted every fifty steps on both sides of the passage, obviously someone was waiting here. There are uneven stone walls on both sides, Bai Yitang walked very slowly, Li Baolu found that every step he took was about the same distance, she made a note of it secretly, and walked forward following his steps.

Bai Yitang stopped when Li Baolu recited silently to one hundred and eight. He raised his eyes to look at the stone wall next to him, and then pressed down a protruding stone with his hands, and the wall in front of him slowly opened.

Li Baolu: ...

Li Baolu stared hard at the protruding stone. There are not a thousand or eight hundred such protruding small stones along the way, and there are almost the same ones around it, so the question arises, how does the master recognize this protruding stone? Stones are different?

Bai Yitang didn't have time to explain to his disciples, so he pulled her into the bag after picking her up.

This is also a stone house, and twelve people were waiting inside at this moment. When they saw the stone door open from the other side, they turned their heads one after another. And the stone door was quickly closed.

The twelve people hurriedly collected their minds, stood up and saluted respectfully, "I have seen you, my lord."

Bai Yitang raised his hand slightly, and said solemnly: "Get up."

"Thank you, my lord." The twelve people bowed and stood aside, only dared to raise their heads slightly to glance at Li Baolu, seeing that the new master was so young, they couldn't help but be surprised even though they were mentally prepared.

This is too small, can it really bear the responsibility of Ling Tianmen?

The secret door is divided into twelve halls, and the masters of the twelve halls are in charge.

These people are all descendants of Ling Zimo's servants back then, and they will re-select hall masters every five years. There were twenty-five servants who followed Ling Zimo back then, and the twelve hall masters were selected from these twenty-five. out.

Because of this, even though they had been released long ago, and Lingtianmen's restraint on them had been eased, they were still very loyal to Lingtianmen in order to get the position of hall master.

Because they all know that the Lingtian Sect doesn't have too many demands on the head of the sect, and there is no constraint on their responsibilities. It is natural for them to be willing to rob the rich and help the poor, and no one will blame them if they don't want to live a life of freedom.

So even if all the Twelve Halls rebelled, Ling Tianmen wouldn’t even bat an eyelid. If they rebel, they’ll rebel. At worst, I’ll steal things and sell them myself. It’s just that I’ll steal less and deal with the follow-up troubles. For all the leaders, this is really not a big deal.

So Bai Yitang will tell Li Baolu that these people are free, we will use them if they are willing to help, and we will not use them if they are not willing to help, just treat them as if they do not exist.

Our morality is not to betray them, not to reveal their details, as long as we do these two things.

But for Twelve Halls, loyalty to Ling Tianmen became their first prerequisite for running for Hall Master.

Their ancestors were extremely loyal to the benevolent king Ling Zimo, and after Ling Zimo passed away, this loyalty was transferred to Ling Tianmen.

This kind of loyalty has been passed down from generation to generation and lasted for a long time. During this period, there were no future generations who questioned it, but no one had the ability to lead Tangkou out of Lingtianmen.

Because there are twelve halls and twenty-five families with surnames, and after five hundred years, these twenty-five families have multiplied countlessly, and there are many children in the next generation. I want to find someone who is loyal to Ling Tianmen, capable, and ambitious. It's too easy for someone who is the head of the hall.

This kind of loyalty has been passed down from generation to generation, and perhaps now loyalty has been mixed with interests, but what does it matter?

They still have to rely on this loyalty to get everyone's approval, take over from the elders, and then when they choose the next successor, their allegiance to Lingtianmen will still be set as a prerequisite by them.

Fortunately, the demands of the masters are never too much, as long as they provide some help, at most, they are asked to provide part of their property to support the victims, and their interests will not be damaged.

So they are still very willing to be loyal to Ling Tianmen and their masters.

But this year's master identity is a bit strange.

She turned out to be an official!

Oh, just thinking that they would sneak into the houses of corrupt officials with people behind their master to steal money, and the next day, the master would come to comfort his colleagues and officials with a sad face, I always feel a little bit gritty.

Regardless of their wild thoughts, Li Baolu formally met with the twelve secret door masters, wrote down their identities and contact information, ordered them to do what she wanted to do, then took a step back, and handed over the control to Bai Yitang again hand.

The hall master bowed and said to Bai Yitang: "All the account books you ordered have been shipped, and they have been put in the warehouse according to your instructions."

Bai Yitang nodded, "Very well, step back. There are many people traveling to and from Yazhou, and there are also many people staring at Yazhou. Be careful when you go in and out."

"yes."

The twelve people retreated quietly, the way they entered was different from Bai Yitang's, they didn't know where Bai Yitang came in, what was there, they didn't know how he opened the stone door, and they wouldn't ask.

Leaving from the stone house, through a dark passage, the twelve people walked for an unknown amount of time, opened up the stone wall many times, and turned many turns before they climbed up a few stone steps, pushed a stone slab away with all their strength, and climbed up from below. , and then moved back the stone slab that was full of soil and covered with vines and grass.

This is in a dense forest, under the mountain is a farm in their hands, and this mountain is also private property.

This place no longer belongs to Yazhou, but belongs to Lin County of Yazhou. The difference is a thousand miles away, the world above ground is different from the world below ground.

Even if someone accidentally discovered the stone slab and entered the passage below, there is no map, no mechanism can be found, and the bottom is just a secret passage four or five feet long, no one would think of Lingtianmen.

It is said that these secret passages in the warehouses of Lingtianmen were built by the craftsmen who built the mausoleum for Emperor Gaozu by King Ren. Because King Ren was favored, Emperor Gaozu didn't even let the royal family record this matter. Apart from them, King Ren's servants, I am afraid that there is only Lingtianmen Clearest.

They didn't know, but after they left, Bai Yitang turned around and took Li Baolu to another stone room. There were only rows of bookshelves and books on them in this stone room.

Bai Yitang said: "This is the history of Lingtianmen. I don't intend to give it to the emperor. Baolu, there are still many secrets about Lingtianmen. Maybe it's nothing to us now, but to our ancestors , All of this is their hard work, so we can't let us down too much."

"Master, don't worry," Li Baolu said with a serious face, "I know that what can be handed over will not harm the interests of Lingtianmen."

Bai Yitang stroked her head in satisfaction and said, "Good boy."

It was early morning when the good boy Li Baolu went back, and the morning sun would come out in another hour.

She gently opened the door, and the half-asleep person on the bed got up and looked at her quietly through the mosquito net.

Li Baolu paused, no longer tiptoeing, but stepped forward lightly, saw his eyes were slightly blue, and asked in a low voice: "Are you awake?"

Gu Jingyun moved into the bed, muttered "didn't return all night" and ignored her, lay down on the pillow and let out a long breathing sound after only three breaths, and was already dead asleep.

Li Baolu pursed her lips slightly, turned around and changed her clothes, and crawled into the bed next to Gu Jingyun.

This is the position where Gu Jingyun slept before, it was warm, even if he was already confused, he subconsciously gave her the warm position.

Li Baolu got into his arms and found a comfortable place to lie down. Gu Jingyun hugged her like he was hugging a small stove. The cold place was instantly warmed up. In one breath, with a look of innocent satisfaction.

Only when he was asleep was he carefree like a real teenager.

Li Baolu looked at his sleeping face, thinking wildly, and soon fell asleep with heavy eyelids.

This time she slept soundly, and when she woke up, the sun had already jumped out of the high mountain and was trying to emit heat. The bamboo forest was full of excitement, and the knights of the rivers and lakes were about to pack their things and leave with everyone.
