Chapter 8: The Mystery of the Spirit Temple (2)
In this way, several of them were taken to the deepest part of the barren land, located in the spirit hall above the spirit mountain on the lock tower. Although no one forced them with knives around their necks along the way, they were surrounded by all the men in purple on all sides, and it was unrealistic to escape. Although their normal life will not be subject to any restrictions, no one will disturb them when they want to rest or close their eyes to cultivate. But as soon as they were out of sight, someone would catch up and drive the broadsword under their necks. So in fact, freedom has been restricted.
Murong Hao was most curious about who their sect master was, and Bao Yueyue's focus was not here at all. She has been worried that if she is found out about the identity of the heir of ancient witchcraft because of her weak heart, she will be killed on the spot.
According to the little fox's previous statement, there is no ability or magic power that can match the ancient witchcraft. So it's because Bao Yueyue is now a half-person that it has become more dangerous. If someone who has completely mastered the ancient magic arts, such as Ling Bing, after a few days, not only has he become accustomed to the human form, but he can also flexibly use the unknown spell - in fact, it is the soil fixing technique. This type of person is in an advantageous position, so the other party will definitely treat each other with courtesy. And the other type is completely without abilities or witchcraft, although this type of people may also become wronged, but as the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, in case they are really forced to be in a hurry, and it is enough to have a headache to fight back. And a half-hung person like Bao Yueyue is the worst. It cannot be said that there is no certainty of becoming a talent at all, nor can it be said that it has become a talent. Normally, the enemy takes the way of killing such a guy directly to prevent future trouble.
So on the way to be escorted again, I was trembling all the time. If it hadn't happened to any accidents, it would have been done a long time ago. However, even if you have already arrived at your destination, you can't completely relax your mind when you pay for the month. She was still thinking about what she was going to say after seeing the sect master in their mouths.
At this moment, it seems that she has only graduated from the police academy for less than three months, and she has been sent to work as an undercover agent without any actual combat experience. How can you be sure of this, it's not a final exam, and there is an outline to refer to. Therefore, if she hadn't been pushed forward by the people in purple, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to move her feet at all. How she wished that she was now a plant, so that she could grow on the ground and never go anywhere.
"We ...... Who are we going to meet? Bao Yueyue was forced to go, but her hands were not bound, but she automatically maintained the posture of a prisoner, as if her hands were locked by invisible shackles.
The purple-clothed people who grabbed her were silent, and were only responsible for escorting them to see the sect master, and they were not in charge of other matters.
"It's really weird!" The little fox and Bao Yueyue basically go side by side, and the two are next to each other. They were exchanging views on the whole thing with each other, and they were not constrained by the people in purple. So we started talking to each other boldly.
Bao Yueyue nodded, but she couldn't figure out what the whole process was and what the whole thing meant, "It's really weird, but why did you come to us?" If it had only been for us trespassing into the barren land, they could have left us in the hands of the Council of Elders, who were in charge of it all. But we were taken directly to see the sect master. ”
"Not bad!" The little fox agrees with Bao Yueyue's point of view, "Because the entire jurisdiction of the blood clan is too vast, and under normal circumstances, those little minions are in charge of things." Basically, if something happens, it will be reported at the most level. It wouldn't have been handled by the Council of Elders at all, let alone the Sect Master himself. But these purple-clothed people obviously belong directly to the sect master......"
Judging from the place where the purple-clothed people walked before, those 'civil servants' were all respectful, they must have a high status here, and then think that they were taking them to meet the sect master, I feel that these must be similar to the existence of the Royal Praetorian Guard.
Immediately after, they were taken to the door of a large hall, which looked like the Spirit Temple.
At this time, the tall man who had led before stood up again, and the whole team changed from marching to standing in unison. And the people in purple all took off their hats.
Bao Yueyue: "You still have to do this kind of ritual here?" Bao Yueyue felt that these people had immediately changed from the original Praetorian Guard to the honor guard.
But as soon as Bao Yueyue finished speaking, she was pushed back by a tall man's eyes, and she stood there obediently as if she was a student who had made a mistake and was punished by the teacher, and suddenly all her temper was gone.
Waiting for the gate to slowly open, the purple-clothed people straightened up without saying a word, waiting for the guards in them to give orders. Even if they were all directly under the direct jurisdiction of the sect master, they did not have the right to enter the spirit hall directly without following the etiquette restrictions of the anti-lock. But the two guards guarding the door are different, they are here almost twenty-four hours a day, when to open the door to welcome guests, when to lock it, the two of them decide for themselves according to the actual situation. Therefore, don't look at their positions, they seem to be janitors, but because they are closest to the life range of the sect master, they have reaped the benefits of it.
For example, they receive a 'passage fee' from the guards who enter the place every day, and this has slowly become an unspoken rule that everyone who comes here must follow. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will be turned away on the grounds that "the sect master is not feeling well and is not suitable for guests".
This time they came here was no exception, although it was an order from the sect master to escort the seven of them here, and it was also an order to bring them to the Spirit Hall as soon as possible, but as long as they entered the Spirit Hall, then the benefit fee could not be saved.
The tall man put two gold coins into the hands of each of the two guards, and then entered the hall with his men and a group of seven people sandwiched in the middle.
According to the rules, the purple-clothed people would withdraw from both sides after completing the ritual of the mission. However, they were separated on both sides of the spirit hall, and they had no intention of leaving.
"You can leave!" At this moment, a woman's voice came from the high seat of the spirit hall. Bao Yueyue looked up and found that there was a woman sitting on the high seat, but there was a curtain hanging down in front of her, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly. After seeing this situation, the first thing that came to mind was the matter of listening to the government in ancient China.
The tall man took off the hat attached to the robe, watched the sect master bend down and bowed, and said, "Sect Master, at the request of the Council of Elders, today's meeting between the Sect Master and the guests and the content of the speech need to be made public, so ......"
"After doing it for a long time, it turned out that the people behind the curtain were elevated. These purple-clothed people are clearly here to monitor the sect master. It seems that it is not easy to mix with an official position in the blood clan. Bao Yueyue couldn't help but whisper.
The Sect Master stopped talking, but he could clearly be seen standing up. waved his hand at the people in front of the spirit hall, but he saw a sudden strong wind in the hall, blowing everyone so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. However, the tall man did not move, and stood there respectfully, without moving a single step.
After that, the sect master sat down and said to him, "That's it, you can stay, and all the others will withdraw." "It looks like the sect master is trying to use his own abilities to suppress them on the spot. And those people in purple were indeed affected, including the big tall man, but he was holding on.
Those questioning people did not move, waiting for the orders of the big tall. Bao Yueyue saw that she basically had a general understanding of the situation here - this sect master was just a puppet, but he still had some strength, so those people in the Council of Elders couldn't help her, so they let these purple-clothed people be in charge of monitoring. Thinking of this, Bao Yueyue couldn't help but sigh, "The political power struggle of this blood clan is chaotic enough, and it is about to catch up with the house of cards." ”
The tall man bowed again and left the hall with the purple-clothed people. This sudden change made Bao Yueyue a big surprise, "What...... Why did you just give up? It's too easy to fool. Didn't you just scare it with a gust of wind? ”
"Now that you're here, please take a seat." After leaving, only the Sect Master and the seven of them remained. Everyone was silent, and the temperature at the scene instantly dropped below freezing.
