Chapter 221: European-style Castle (Second Update)
Hey, wouldn't it be nice to do it earlier, and waste a house. Nie Tian patted the dust on his trouser legs, got into the car under Xuan Yujia's secret adoring eyes, pulled Zhao Song with his hand, and waved to Zhai Qing, whose face was blackened with carbon outside, with a smile, "Come up, what are you waiting for?"
Zhai Qing's palm shook, just when Nie Tian thought he was going to make a move, Zhai Qing finally just sank his face and sat in the car, just like Nie Tian thought, for these people in the Xuanyin Sect, their own value is only bigger than they imagined, as long as they don't touch their bottom line, it doesn't matter how much trouble they make.
The so-called base of the Xuanyin Sect is built in a deep mountain and old forest in the countryside, sparsely populated, only a few scattered houses can be seen within a radius of 100 miles, and there are no young people walking on the road, occasionally a few old people carrying hoes and farm tools walk by, and they will wave to the people in the car in a friendly way.
"Most of their children are working in the Xuanyin Sect. Zhai Qing also rolled down the window and waved to the old villagers, while proudly explaining to Nie Tian, "This village is not big, the output is not much, most of the villagers are self-sufficient, no matter how hard the young people work, there will be no future, since we came here to establish a base, give them enough jobs, the villagers have become rich." ”
Nie Tian nodded perfunctorily, not interested in Zhai Qing's obvious boasting.
After all, most of the real sects are like this, and they often include a few ordinary villages in the vicinity into their sphere of influence. While providing protection, it is also convenient to collect money.
Occasionally, the first choice of young people and girls with excellent roots in the village will be to worship the familiar sect nearby, which can be regarded as an indirect talent reserve base.
Zhai Qing's showing off instead exposed his ignorance, and even the entire Xuanyin Sect.
The car slowly drove into the winding mountain road, after leaving the flat land under the mountain, there were basically no people, it can be seen that this mountain has not been developed deliberately, except for the cement floor of the mountain road, it also retains the most primitive scenery, except for a few places standing "no entry" signs, and the most ordinary mountains in the countryside are no different.
However, Nie Tian still clearly felt the difference in the surrounding environment.
It's quiet, it's too quiet, not only is there no noise of people and cars in the city, not even the sound of insects and birds singing, there is only the sound of their group of vehicles driving the whole process, and the silence that goes deep into the bone marrow makes people feel even more uneasy.
Zhao Song grabbed the corner of Nie Tian's clothes without a trace, and his little face showed a little nervousness.
Zhai Qing looked very comfortable, as if he was very satisfied with everything in front of him, and Nie Tian sensitively saw the heartfelt fascination in his eyes, I don't know if it was this place, or the people he was about to meet.
Xuan Yujia's condition doesn't look very good, although the brainwashing effect of Youyan Ling has not disappeared, but her eyes still flash confusion from time to time, and occasionally show the same infatuated look as Zhai Qing beside her, although it will disappear soon, it will still make people feel abnormal.
It seems that the mountain is not as simple as it seems.
Nie Tian thought about it, watching the convoy slowly drive to a flat land halfway up the mountainside, and a European-style castle made of bricks and stones rose in front of him, standing in this deep mountain It looked very gloomy, and it looked incompatible with the Southeast Asian-style village buildings at the bottom of the mountain.
"Here we are. The automatic door in the back seat slowly opened, and Zhai Qing and Xuan Yujia took the lead in getting out of the car and said to Nie Tian and Zhao Song in the car.
After getting out of the car, Nie Tian looked at the huge ancient castle in front of him, his face was pale.
Zhao Song took the initiative to speak very tacitly, and made an inexplicable expression: "This is your base?
That's right, although the ancient castle in front of you looks solemn and sacred, whether it is on the way or by the door, there are no black-clothed people who can usually be seen everywhere stationed, and the doors and windows are closed and you can't see the scenery inside, as if it is just a long-abandoned building.
"Little friend, don't worry, the Xuanyin Sect has always been sincere to its friends, and this is where the sect master lives. Zhai Qing seems to have a deep affection for this building, and the whole person exudes a sense of joy for a wanderer returning home.
Nie Tian nodded indispensably: "That means that I can meet your sect master here?"
"Of course, the Sect Master is waiting for you inside. When mentioning their mysterious "Sect Master", Zhai Qing's face was full of admiration and joy, and even looked at Nie Tian's eyes a little gentler, and Xuan Yujia, who was in a state of being brainwashed, couldn't help but waver for a moment.
It seems that this Xuanyin Sect's brainwashing ability is much more powerful than he imagined.
Nie Tian's interest instantly rose, everything in front of him was too strange, and they were likely to do something tentative before they met that legendary so-called sect master.
It's a relief from boredom.
Under the leadership of Zhai Qing, he walked into the gate of the castle, and Nie Tian and his apprentices found that the interior of the castle was made into the shape of a church, in front of several rows of wooden chairs, and in the middle of the position was the statue of the Virgin Mary and the crucifixion of Jesus.
As if seeing Nie Tian's doubts, Zhai Qing kindly explained: "This ancient castle was not built by us, before the sect moved in, it was just an abandoned small church, and it was the Xuanyin Sect that brought life to this place again. ”
"Well, whatever you want, I'm not interested in your history. Nie Tian casually found a place to sit down, looked around and said, "Why is there still no one?"
"The real base of the sect is underground, and our members and disciples are all living underground, of course, we can't let you in until you confirm your true loyalty to us. Zhai Qing smiled, moved the front row of wooden chairs in front of Nie Tian, and after a heavy sound, the crucifix twisted out a strange arc, revealing the door to the underground world.
"Please wait, I'll go and report to the sect master. Zhai Qing slowly approached the door, turned around and instructed, "Xuan Yujia, you accompany Nie Shao, don't let the guests get bored." ”
Xuan Yujia bowed respectfully to Zhai Qing, and until Zhai Qing's back disappeared, the expression on his face did not relax in the slightest.
Through the effect of the ban, Nie Tian could feel that even if only the three of them were left, Xuan Yujia's spirit was still very nervous, and he didn't even dare to turn around to look at him.
"Is there surveillance?" Nie Tian gestured to Xuan Yujia with his eyes.
Zhao Song looked around vigilantly like a sensitive little beast.
