Qi Ning did not deny it, and said: "On the way to Cangxi, although I am not sure that Da Wu is the mastermind behind the scenes, I do have six or seven percent suspicions. ”

"Your suspicions are not unfounded." Da Wu's voice was calm: "As the Miao family's great witch, it is true that many people in Xichuan are willing to obey the dispatch." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said: "That's right, and the most important thing is that my trip to Cangxi is not a whim, but someone has carefully set a trap, and the disaster is leading to the east, and the person who testifies may be the real murderer behind the scenes, but it is difficult for me to suspect it." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Ning glanced at Xiang Baiying, and saw that Xiang Baiying was silent, so he continued: "As the Great Witch said, the Miao family lives in peace and is passed down from generation to generation, and the successive generations of Great Witches have taken it as their responsibility to guard the peace of the Miao family's people, so when I came to Cangxi this time, I was not ready to negotiate directly with the Great Witch, but bothered to talk to the helper and the Great Witch in detail. ”

"Are you trying to avoid a direct conflict between the imperial court and the Miao family?" The Miao family's Dawu said softly: "Xiang Gang Master is a person from the rivers and lakes, and it is indeed more appropriate for him to come to see me." ”

Qi Ning said: "What do you mean to the gang leader and me, whether Da Wu is behind the scenes or not, we should explain some of the stakes to Da Wu." If the seventy-two caves of the Miao family are really involved in the crime of rebellion, they will definitely face an unprecedented catastrophe, which can naturally be regarded as a catastrophe for the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, and it is also an immeasurable catastrophe for the entire Chu State. ”

"Are you still going to say that to me?"

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I understand one thing, if Da Wu is the mastermind behind the scenes, and I will die in Xishan, it is impossible for me to leave Sun Moon Peak alive for half a step." Staring at the mist opposite, he said word by word: "So I can now be sure that Dawu is not the mastermind behind the scenes, from the beginning, this was a trap, and their purpose was to provoke a fight between the Miao family and the imperial court." ”

The other side was silent for a moment, and finally said: "The mastermind you said behind the scenes is naturally someone else. ”

"That man is mysterious, I only know that he is called Jizo, and his subordinates have indeed gathered a group of demons and demons, and his power is far more than in Xichuan." Qi Ning sighed: "This person has vast magical powers, and his power is not only great, but also extremely wide, and I even think that in the government and even the imperial court, it is very likely that his people have infiltrated him." ”

Dawu said: "You said that he wanted to provoke the confrontation between the Miao family and the imperial court, do you want to understand why you said that Jizang did this?" ”

"I'm not sure what the purpose is, but there are many possibilities." Qi Ning said: "What this person did was not just to make a corner of Xichuan turbulent, his purpose is likely to plunge the entire Chu State into turmoil, once the Chu State is turbulent, it will be beneficial to many forces, and the first to bear the brunt is the Northern Han, so I thought that Jizang is likely to be involved with the Northern Han." Although the Great Chu has been established for many years, the north is not peaceful, and even many forces in the Chu State have not really submitted to the imperial court, the East China Sea has the remnants of the family, and Xichuan also has the power of Li Hongxin, the king of Shu, although these forces have been submitted to the imperial court on the surface, but in their bones they are always looking for opportunities to plot to disrupt the country, and Jizo has a clear view of the general trend of the world, he knows who should be wooed if he wants to be an enemy of the imperial court. ”

Dawu finally said: "The Miao family doesn't care about the disputes in the world, as long as the court can let the Miao family have enough food and clothing in the seventy-two holes, the Miao family will live in peace and security on this land, and they will never have half a point of embarrassment with the court." The forces of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Qi Dynasty, or the East China Sea and the Shu King that the imperial court cared about were not the Miao family that they were willing to care about. ”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "Dawu is saying that even if Jizang uses the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, you won't take it to heart?" ”

"I see what you mean." Dawu said: "Although the Miao family has a simple temperament, it is not impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, and it is not so easy for someone to use the Miao family to make trouble. But what happened today is really something I didn't expect. After a slight pause, he said: "The former King of Da Miao was killed, and the brothers Lang Cha Dulu and Dan Du Gu competed, that incident did not happen by accident, and if there was no one behind the scenes, Lang Cha Dulu would not dare to attack King Da Miao." ”

Qi Ning said: "Great Witch..... Have you been investigating that thing all along? ”

"The murder of King Miao is related to the safety of the 72nd cave of the Miao family." Dawu said: "Although the Miao family is gentle and does not like to fight, but not all Miao family members will be like this, throughout the ages, every ethnic group will have some ambitious people, they will make the world fall into turmoil for their own ambitions, and even bring their own ethnic groups into a situation from which they will never recover." ”

Qi Ning opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't speak, and stood on the side to Baiying, and he didn't speak from beginning to end.

"Although the 72 caves of the Miao family are scattered in various parts of Xichuan, and there are contradictions between many villages, if they encounter a disaster, they can advance and retreat together." Dawu's voice was like a calm lake from beginning to end, undisturbed, but gentle and gentle: "We can thrive in the land of Xichuan, and that's how we survive. ”

Qi Ning said solemnly: "Brothers and sisters have the same roots, help each other and love each other." ”

"Exactly." Dawu said: "But just a few months ago, there was an exception, can Lord Qi remember?" ”

The Great Witch called Qi Ning a lord, naturally he already knew that Qi Ning had been promoted to the Duke of Protector.

Qi Ning immediately said, "What the Great Witch is talking about the Black Lotus Sect? ”

Dawu's voice came: "The Black Lotus Sect is a Jianghu sect founded by the Miao family, and it has been active in the western land, although they have not done anything to harm living beings, but many of the rules of the Miao family have been broken by them, so although most of the Black Lotus Sect are Miao families, the seventy-two caves of the Miao family have never regarded them as their own people, and the Shenhou Mansion led eight gangs and sixteen factions to attack Chaowuling, and the seventy-two caves of the Miao family have not acted rashly. ”

Qi Ning bowed his head and said, "The Black Lotus Sect does not abide by the rules of the Miao family, nor does it follow the laws of the imperial court. ”

"But the world still regards the Black Lotus Sect as the power of the Miao family." Dawu said: "If the Black Lotus Sect does something that hurts the heavens and even violates the imperial court, in the eyes of the world, it is not only the Black Lotus Sect's doing, but it will even be regarded as the Miao family's doing." ”

Qi Ning vaguely understood something and asked, "Great Wu, do you mean to say that Jizang is implicated in the Black Lotus Sect?" ”

"The force you are talking about, Cangxi Miao Village was already aware of it a few years ago." Dawu said: "But that group of people acted very closely, and they didn't commit anything harmful before, and we don't know their details very well. You sighed: "In the eyes of the Miao family, the Miao family witch is a god-like existence, but the Miao family witch is only a mortal in the world, not an immortal, and he can't know all the things in the world." ”

Qi Ning sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that in fact, a person is regarded as a god, it may not be a good thing, in order to maintain mystery and majesty, the great witches of the Miao family in the past dynasties lived in this deserted Sun and Moon Peak, and could not sing and laugh with the people in the clan, although the status was noble, but it was like being confined in this mountain peak, and there was no happiness.

"The previous Great Miao King was killed, and I once wondered if the Black Lotus Sect was behind it." Dawu said slowly: "Among the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, there are actually a few people who secretly have fornications with the Black Lotus Sect, what I have to do is to keep the seventy-two caves of the Miao family and not be bewitched by the Black Lotus Sect. ”

Xiang Baiying finally spoke: "In this way, the Great Witch thinks that Jizo is the leader of the Black Lotus Sect? The Black Lotus Sect Leader wants to use the strength of the Miao family to rebel in Xichuan? ”

Dawu said: "Lord Qi, you can report to the emperor, the Black Lotus Sect has nothing to do with Dizang, Dizang is definitely not the Miao family, I can keep the Miao family, including the Black Lotus Sect, and there will be no disturbance to the imperial court." ”

Xiang Baiying frowned and said, "Why is the Great Witch so sure? ”

The Great Witch sighed faintly: "This is my answer to you when you come up the mountain on this trip. ”

Qi Ning thought to herself that the Miao Family's Great Witch was sure that it was natural for her to be able to restrain the Miao Family's seventy-two caves, but why did she dare to guarantee that even the Black Lotus Sect would never make any changes? The leader of the Black Lotus Sect is one of the five great masters in the world, and he belongs to a transcendent existence, and the Great Witch of the Miao Family just said that although most of the Black Lotus Sect are members of the Miao family, they do not abide by the rules of the Miao family and are not recognized by the Miao family, in other words, the Black Lotus Sect cannot affect the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, but the Great Witch of the Miao family is also unable to give orders to the Black Lotus Sect.

After all, the Black Lotus Sect Master is a dignified Grand Master, and although the Miao Family's Great Witch has a very noble status in the eyes of the Miao Family, the Black Lotus Sect Master may not take the Great Witch in his eyes, let alone obey the Great Witch's orders.

That being the case, why did the Miao family witch dare to vouch for the Black Lotus Sect? Could it be that the Great Witch had already had contact with the Black Lotus Sect in private, and the Black Lotus Sect had also made any promises to the Great Witch?

Qi Ning felt more and more that there was something strange in it, but he knew that if Da Wu was willing to tell the reason, he didn't have to ask at all, Da Wu would tell the truth, since Da Wu didn't say much, then even if he asked, there would be no answer.

"Jizo sent people to sneak into Xishan and set up an ambush at Sun Moon Peak, but we didn't notice it, this is our negligence." Da Wu sighed lightly: "It's just that Lord Qi should think about why you came to Sun Moon Peak, since you know that the other party has set a trap for you from the beginning, then every step you will be in the other party's calculations, as you said, if you really die in Sun Moon Peak tonight, the consequences will naturally be unimaginable, but have you ever thought that a person who is good at calculation can not only design how to advance, but also calculate how to retreat, even if you have the certainty of success, this kind of person will not leave a way out for yourself." ”

Qi Ning was stunned, only felt that Da Wu's words had a deep meaning, thought for a while, and then said: "Please also ask Da Wu to make it clear." ”

"Jizang can drive many powerful characters, and can set off storms all over the Chu State, so he is naturally a calculating person." Dawu said slowly: "He designed you to come to Sun Moon Peak, it is true that you will die, but he will definitely calculate what will happen next if the assassination fails?" Have you ever wondered what he would do? ”

"Jizo is thoughtful and deceitful, forgive me for being dull, what tricks this person has next, it's really not easy to guess." Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "Actually, although I don't know who he is, I can be regarded as fighting him many times, and it seems that I have the upper hand every time, but I have never seen his plan from beginning to end, and sometimes if I wasn't lucky, I would probably have been crushed a long time ago." ”

"Do you know, then, if we don't take any precautions today, Jizo will probably know everything we say here tomorrow." The Great Witch sighed: "His cunning even exceeded my expectations. ”

Qi Ning was a little surprised and said, "Will he know?" Don't..... Will he have downwind ears clairvoyance? ”

"Some people do have tailwind ears and clairvoyance." Dawu said: "In fact, sometimes the other party's eyes and ears are in front of our eyes, but we turn a blind eye and can't find out. ”
