Chapter V: Rules
"You mean......" Kong Xianglin felt the pores of his body quickly open, and a terrible thought formed in his mind, "Longshan Weng may know the correct way to use the Jingtian Demon Seed?" "The so-called innocent and guilty of the crime, if Long Shan Weng really knows this secret, then the murderer's motive for killing is obvious.
Bai Shujie nodded and said: "This may be very big, because more than a hundred years ago, the Qingxu Dao Leader left a proverb, saying that as long as you can crack the secret of the Jingtian Demon Seed, you can cultivate a new Jingtian Spirit Tree and use it to attain the Dao."
But over the years, cultivators have searched for various solutions, but no one has been able to crack it. Many people started the idea of purging his descendants, but until all his descendants died, no one got any news from his children. It wasn't until two years ago that there was news in the cultivation world that Wang Bai, the master of Longshan Weng, was actually the youngest and most favored illegitimate son of Qingxu. When the cultivators got the news, they quickly blew up and found Long Shan Weng one after another, wanting to ask him for the secret.
However, Longshan Weng has a strange temper, extremely strong skills, is good at using poison, and has a close relationship with Tiankui Dao people. Many people suffered a lot under him, only to realize that it was impossible to get the secret from him.
A few days ago, Long Shan Weng released a message, saying that he had calculated his fate in the near future, and he wanted to pass on what he had learned in his life to future generations in the form of rewards in the Great Competition of the Heavenly Master Gate.
Everyone speculated that he probably deliberately wanted to release the secret of the Jingtian Demon Seed in this way. ”
Kong Xianglin and Zhao Yanling were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect that there was such a bizarre background and reason behind this.
"So, as long as you can get Longshan Weng's medicinal experience, it is possible to reveal the secret of the Jingtian Demon Seed?" Kong Xianglin asked.
"Well," Bai Shujie said, "that's one of the reasons I want to get his heart." But judging from what you just said, it seems that Tiankui Lao Dao didn't intend to take out Longshan Weng's experience as a reward at all. ”
"Does he want to do his own research?" Zhao Yanling asked.
"There is this possibility, Tiankui has been at the peak of the nine-star for many years, and he has not been able to further challenge the way of heaven, to say that he doesn't want to find out the secret of the treasure of Jingtian, I don't believe it first." Bai Shujie said.
At this moment, Kong Xianglin suddenly said in horror: "No! Could it be that the murderer is him! ”
Bai Shujie and Zhao Yanling looked at him, and they couldn't help but show a look of horror in their eyes.
"If that's the case, a lot of things make sense." Bai Shujie said with an extremely ugly face.
Zhao Yanling breathed a little quickly and said, "Then he still asked us to check?" If we really find out that the murderer is him, will he not immediately turn around and take our lives? ”
Bai Shujie looked at Kong Xianglin and asked, "Tiankui asked you to investigate the death of Longshan Weng?" ”
"Yes! After we found out that Long Shan Weng had died in his room this morning, Tiankui quickly arrived at the scene, and after a few words in a bland manner, he threw this hot potato to Brother Lin. Zhao Yanling said.
"Hey, if we really find out the iron evidence, it would be good, and then the initiative will be in our hands, and we are really not afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry. I'm afraid that we know that he did it, but there is no evidence, in this case, he will have to kill people. Kong Xianglin also nodded and said, "I can't imagine that the water here is so deep!" But despite this, the meat was on the chopping board at that time, and I had no way to refuse, people had the secret recipe of Longshan Weng in their hands, and I was equal to my life hanging in the hands of Tiankui, how could I refuse?
Bai Shujie was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, Kong Xianglin briefly told him about the poison that he had been poisoned by a hundred steps, and Bai Shujie frowned and said: "It seems that this old bull's nose is quite suspicious, but we have relatively little information in our hands, and we can't figure out his intentions, but it won't be easy to think about, so it's better for you to be careful." ”
Kong Xianglin nodded, thought for a while and said, "But he shouldn't want my life for the time being." With his ability, it is easy to take my life. Now that he has put down so many disciples in the sect, he has to let me be an outsider, or a branch leader who usually doesn't have much contact with their Heavenly Master Sect, there is obviously a reason, but we can't guess it for the time being. ”
The three of them had no clue for a while, so they had to discuss Dabi's countermeasures in detail, and then chatted for a while, and Bai Shujie wanted to say goodbye and leave.
Kong Xianglin stopped him and asked Zhao Yanling to notify several of the subordinates of the Blood Linmen to come over for a meeting.
Several people were there. The Heavenly Master Gate is not allowed to break in casually, they can only obediently stay in their own room in the small courtyard assigned to them, and this day has suffocated them.
When they came to Kong Xianglin's house, several people sat down separately, looking at Kong Xianglin and Bai Shujie behind him curiously. After the previous meeting to establish Kong Xianglin's identity as the sect master, these people were much more honest in front of him, and they no longer dared not take him seriously.
Kong Xianglin sat on the top seat, glanced at it for a week, and said: "I think everyone knows that we still registered in the Doufa Conference in the name of Jiangshanmen and participated in the big competition. You may not understand why we still participate in the big competition when we are so weak. Now that I've learned the reason from my friends, I can solve your confusion. ”
Everyone looked at Kong Xianglin, wondering what kind of news he had gotten.
"This friend of mine is from the Bai family, the family of our founding father of China, Bai Lao, named Bai Shujie, and he is a very outstanding cultivator. He will join us temporarily and participate in this big competition in the name of Jiangshanmen. Kong Xianglin pointed to Bai Shujie and introduced to everyone.
"Buzz!" When the people heard the news, they immediately began to talk about it.
Kong Xianglin smiled and waited for them to calm down before continuing: "Although the Bai family is a relatively large family in my Huaxia, it also belongs to the Heavenly Master Sect, and it is one of the branches of the Heavenly Master Sect like us, and will also participate in this big competition. Unlike the Bai family, who rarely have contact with the cultivation world, their information channels are much better than ours, and Brother Bai came this time and passed on a very interesting message to me......"
Kong Xianglin repeated the news about the Jingtian Demon Seed brought by Bai Shujie to everyone, Kong Xianglin looked at everyone carefully, and took in their expressions.
Several people showed different looks, but it could be seen that everyone's eyes showed excitement, and even Jiang Daohan, who usually looked moody, wrote covetousness on his face.
Dr. Tea, the shopkeeper of the tea garden, asked: "Dare to ask the master, how sure are we that we can get the top three?" ”
If you want to say that the most mysterious of all people, it is this Dr. Tea, Kong Xianglin once secretly asked Brother Zhao if Dr. Tea was his secret**, but Brother Zhao smiled mysteriously, but he kept silent, and never revealed the slightest bit about Dr. Tea. This made Kong Xianglin even more curious about the secret he was hiding behind the mask.
In the case of everyone's excitement, she was the most calm, and the questions she asked went straight to the core.
Kong Xianglin smiled and said: "Originally, I was not half sure, but the addition of Brother Bai gave me a new hole card, so we have no blood linmen to make a sound, since we are participating in the big competition, then we have to be a blockbuster." ”
Kong Xianglin said this sentence vaguely, he planned to keep the matter of Bai Shujie's provision of the Fire God Pill secret from several of his subordinates. This thing can be used as a hole card that can greatly improve the strength at any time, and must be used on the blade, to be used at the most critical moment, in order to have a surprising winning effect, if the opponent knows in advance, people have prepared, its role will be greatly reduced. Therefore, he said half of what he said and left half of it, and only explained Bai Shujie's joining, but did not mention Bai Shujie's role to everyone.
I only heard Kong Xianglin continue: "The detailed rules of this year's big competition have not yet been promulgated, but I heard that it will be very different from previous years, so we should also formulate a strategy as soon as possible to seize the top three positions as much as possible." ”
Kong Xianglin looked at Bai Shujie and said, "Brother Bai, please take a seat." ”
Bai Shujie moved a chair and sat under Kong Xianglin. Kong Xianglin waited for him to sit down before he looked at Jiang Daohan and asked, "What have you gained in the past two days?" ”
Jiang Daohan got up and replied: "Since the sect master decided to set off for Changbai Mountain and ordered my letter hall to collect information on the Heavenly Master Sect and important branches, my letter hall has been running at a high speed, living up to the trust of the door master, although I haven't gotten too detailed information, but a lot of information on its general situation has been collected. ”
After that, he took out his mobile phone and used Bluetooth to pass a document to everyone, and after everyone received it, he said: "This document records the rules of the Tianshimen competition in recent years and the results of the competition, from this information we can see that although the Tianshimen general altar has not participated in the team competition, it has always been among the best in the individual competition, and the top ten have always occupied at least five shares, and the other five are occupied by several branches." As for the team competition, there are three of the stronger branches in the group, among which Tianchi Mountain has won two consecutive championships; Xing'anmen is not weak, having won a championship three years ago and a second place last year; The other is the Changbai faction, although it has never had a chance to win the championship, but the ranking has never left the top three, either second or third, and the strength can be seen. ”
Kong Xianglin looked at the information sent by Jiang Daohan on his mobile phone and said: "In previous years, the big competition was divided into team competitions and individual competitions, and each branch sent three people to form a team to compete cooperatively; Needless to say, there is no limit to the number of participants in each branch, which can be one person or ten people. After several rounds of elimination, the top 16 will be compared, and then the group round-robin will be carried out to determine the top four to participate in the semi-finals, and finally the final will be one or two. ”
