Chapter 160, The Return of the Dharma Protector
Although Haifeng is a small country near the sea, it has a long history and strong national strength, and this country existed before the establishment of the Southern Ming Empire.
The people of Haifeng were the first pioneers to go to sea to explore the world, and they believed in the god of the sea, believing that all the places covered by the sea were the territory of the gods, and also the paradise for their followers to spread their teachings.
It stands to reason that such an open, advanced, and knowledgeable country that knows how to communicate with the world should not be destroyed by the closed and primitive Southern Ming Empire.
The root of all this is precisely because the inheritance of the sea god of Haifeng Country has been broken.
The believers of Haifeng Kingdom have lost their spiritual connection with the sea god more than fifty years ago.
Like the customs of the Senwu tribe, the people of Haifeng Kingdom hold a sacrifice ceremony for the sea god every year.
During the ceremony, the devotees of the god of the sea offer enough tribute, and the god of the sea in the divine realm will cast a trace of his mind and bless his people.
Only the blessed people can obtain the Poseidon inheritance, and since more than fifty years ago, when the Poseidon's mind no longer came, no one has been able to obtain the inheritance.
This matter was originally an absolute secret of Haifeng Kingdom, but for some reason, it was known by the people of the Witch King Palace more than ten years ago.
Losing the inheritance of the sea god, no one in Haifeng could resist the powerful witch king, and the country was finally destroyed in one fell swoop.
When Fei Yue said this, her tears fell unconsciously, but it was just a drop, and she quickly wiped away the tears and returned to her usual expression.
"As long as I can find the Poseidon Palace and regain the Poseidon inheritance, I will definitely be able to take revenge. ”
Xue Jian thought about it and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on her.
"Don't get your hopes up, this plaque looks like an old thing, I don't know how many years it has been buried at the bottom of the sea, it's better to rely on yourself than to pin your hopes on an ethereal god. ”
Fei Yue sneered, a look of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"On your own, the Witch King Palace has the inheritance of the witch god, you are a mere mortal, how to fight with the gods, childish and ridiculous. ”
Xue Jian was slightly distracted.
He thought of Chu Yiyi, and thought of the frost-haired woman who had always called Chu Yiyi a goddess.
If Chu Yiyi is a god, then he is just a mortal, and he doesn't even have the courage to fight with the gods, so how can he find Chu Yiyi.
Xue Jian silently put away the golden plaque and said calmly.
"There's no urgency in this matter, I'll go to the bottom of the sea and look for it again when I have time. ”
With that, he went up to the top floor alone.
The corners of Fei Yue's mouth hooked up a hint of mockery, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the door, and returned to her small building.
Mo Jiuweng saw that Xue Jian's expression seemed to be a little wrong, so he didn't go up to disturb him.
The three-story building, located at the top of the high Wangcheng Mountain, seems to be able to touch the bright moon in the sky as long as you stand up and stretch out your hand.
Xue Jian was lying on the open terrace on the top floor, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and while drinking, he recalled his days with Chu Yiyi.
He didn't know how long it took, but he heard a pleasant woman's chuckle from the other side, with three points of coldness and seven points of mockery.
"I thought something was wrong with you? It turned out that you were hiding on the roof and drinking, could it be that you know that you are afraid?"
Xue Jian didn't even look at the other side, just drank the wine one by one, immersed in his own memories.
Xiao Lou to Xiao Lou, the cold woman in a light black gauze dress stood on the opposite terrace, watching Xue Jian.
Even though it was midnight and the moon was dark and the stars were sparse overhead, Fei Yue still saw the longing and sadness on the man's face.
That kind of longing and sorrow is different from her feelings for her homeland, which is a deep affection for a person and a woman.
For some reason, Fei Yue felt extremely irritable, waved her sleeves, and turned back to the building.
The next day, Xue Jian had already flipped through the entire small building, and there was nothing he was interested in except for some intelligence letters, as well as a few books on exercises, martial arts, and witchcraft.
In this small building, Xue Jian has a very thorough grasp of everything he should know, and the most important thing to really disguise and replace a person is not the appearance, but the inside.
Only when all the details are done to the extreme, can the effect of being fake and not suspicious.
After another two days, the four Dharma Protectors finally rushed back to Wangcheng Mountain with all the horses.
In the main hall of the villa, the four Dharma protectors looked like dusty servants, and their expressions were cloudy and uncertain.
There were a lot of people standing inside and outside the hall, and some of them were still injured, as if they had experienced a tragic battle, and they were lucky enough to pick up a life.
Everyone stood in the main hall, talking non-stop, until a woman's soft drink came from outside, and the hall instantly fell silent.
"The Sect Master has arrived!"
Outside the main hall, a handsome man in a purple and gold robe walked in with a steady step.
Beside him, there was also a dignified and noble cold beauty, the two were very close to each other, but they did not touch.
Behind the handsome man, there was a handsome young man with a tall figure, with a lofty demeanor and a sense of arrogance.
Behind them was a group of white-clothed women, led by tall women, who followed closely with their heads bowed like their maids.
Under the leadership of the four Dharma protectors, everyone bent down and hugged their fists.
"I'm waiting to meet the Sect Master, and I will meet the Sect Master's wife. ”
Xue Jian and Concubine Yue walked to the first seat on the high platform of the main hall and sat down together before he calmed down.
"You have all worked this expedition, Golden Lizard Protector, you can report the situation. ”
The black-robed man standing at the head of the left immediately stepped out and respectfully said his experience in Black Tiger Mountain during this time.
To be honest, this record is not very good, with nearly a hundred dead and wounded, and the loss of a Dharma Protector, but it did not even break through the opponent's fortress, but the Golden Lizard Protector said it without concealing it at all.
After Xue Jian listened, his expression did not change much, but he said lightly.
"The Golden Centipede Protector died heroically in battle, and the sect leader deeply regretted it and took good care of his family. In addition, the matter of selecting a new Dharma protector will be handled by you, Golden Lizard. ”
Everyone had no objection to the Five Poisons Sect Master's approach.
Here, they only care about the living, not a dead person.
The golden lizard nodded yes, and then he asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"I don't know why the sect leader urgently summoned us back this time?"
Xue Jian's expression immediately became gloomy and said.
"The Sect Master suspects that someone in this hall has betrayed me. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was surprised.
The golden lizard immediately asked.
"Why does the Sect Master have such suspicions?"
Xue Jian explained.
"Just a few days ago, a man in black sneaked into the villa, wanting to assassinate the sect leader at the critical moment when I broke through.
Luckily, I had a back hand and pushed the Assassins back, but I failed to break through and was seriously wounded.
The assassin was looking for the right time, it was the empty manpower of our villa, and it was the critical moment for me to break through, if it wasn't for someone who should cooperate with the outside and report the news, how could it be possible to assassinate at this time.
Therefore, the Sect Master suspects that someone in this hall has betrayed me. ”
