Chapter 40: Why

As Jiang Mingyue's eldest brother, Jiang Mingyang is sometimes more childish than his own sister, which also makes Xiaoli and Lan Bailuo instinctively want to spoil him. As a southern envoy, Jiang Mingyang mainly learned Min Feiyang's swordsmanship, especially a set of swordsmanship named after "lore" is even more invincible, once it is deployed, few people can resist more than ten moves!

These four people are handsome and extraordinary one by one, and their skills are outstanding, but if they appear in front of the world, I am afraid no one would have thought that this group of handsome men and beauties who are one in a million is the four terrifying messengers of the Killer Gate!

Seeing the four of them gathered, Duanmu Youning's sleeves flicked, and the elegance was peerless: "The four messengers have arrived, so I should also explain the things entrusted by the master one by one, so that he can be blind......ed under the nine springs."

"Master?" Xiaoli frowned, "I don't know what the girl's master is......"

Duanmu Youning sighed slightly: "Kill the door master, Min Feiyang, I can be regarded as a closed disciple of his old man!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four of them changed in unison, especially Xiao Li, whose faces changed miserably, and exclaimed: "What?!Have you seen him?!When and where?!"

Duanmu Youning pursed his lips, and then shook his head: "The Eastern Envoy Xiaoli is extremely smart, if I tell you the time and place, you will definitely guess my identity, please forgive me for inconvenience." But with this as proof, you should be able to take my word for it. ”

As she spoke, she raised her right hand that was originally in her sleeve in front of the four of them, only to see a strange white jade ring quietly set on her thumb, shining with the unique warm luster of jade, which was worth a lot at a glance!

Not only that, this jade ring is not a simple circle, but is made of several small rings put together, wrapped around her hand, like a beautiful work of art!

Seeing this, the four of them exclaimed in unison again: "Acacia Ring?!"

In the exclamation, the other three turned their heads to look at Xiaoli, and Lan Bailuo couldn't help but shout: "Big brother......!

Xiao Li raised his hand to stop him, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Duanmu Youning: "Girl, can you take off the Acacia Ring and show me?"

Duanmu Youning nodded without hesitation: "Okay." ”

This acacia ring is made up of thirteen slender rings intertwined and interlocking, and if you know the right mantra, you can untie them into a chain of rings that are connected together. These thirteen rings look identical, but a closer look reveals that each ring has a different pattern, which is the key to unlocking the Acacia ring.

Duanmu Youning silently recited the mantra in his heart, and soon untied the acacia ring into a string of rings, and handed it to Xiaoli: "Can you trust me now?"

"Yes. Xiao Li's expression was quite calm, but his face was a little pale, "Except for the previous Killer Sect Master, no one can untie this lovesick ring!

Duanmu Youning nodded: "I guess you have already seen that Master not only entrusted me with this thing, but also taught me everything he had learned, and told me how to find the Absolute Killing Gate Altar!

"Senior sister, what are you talking about?" Lan Bailuo suddenly spoke, his eyes already had a cordiality and warmth that only his own people had, and he called Duanmu Youning like this, undoubtedly acknowledging her identity, "The person who the door master likes is naturally not wrong, but it happened suddenly, and we can't believe it." It's just that I'm really curious, when and where did my sister meet the door master? The door master ...... three years ago."

"Bai Luo!" Xiao Li interrupted him suddenly, his eyes flickering, "Girl, this matter is obviously a long story, please sit here, let's talk slowly, Mingyue, tea." ”

Jiang Mingyue agreed, went down and brought hot tea, everyone was already seated at the table, Yan Xunhuan was standing behind Duanmu Youning, seemingly calm as usual, but in fact, he had already secretly paid attention to all the movements around him, so as to deal with any emergencies.

Xiaoli was also a little curious about Yan Xunhuan, who was dressed as a noble but attendant, and couldn't help but look at it twice, and Duanmu Youning suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Dong, he is my person, and he can definitely be trusted." ”

"Hmm. Xiaoli agreed, "But since you are the closed disciple of the door master, you are my junior sister, call me a senior brother, I think I can afford it." ”

"Yes, brother. Duanmu Youning nodded, and there was a strange sense of belonging and intimacy in his heart because of this title, "I said that it is inconvenient to tell you when and where I have seen Master, but I have indeed seen him before, and I came to the Killing Gate General Altar to complete his deathbed entrustment." As soon as this is done, I will leave and see you again, lest you fear that I will divulge the secrets of the Killing Gate. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Li couldn't help but be stunned, especially the words "I won't meet you again" made him a little uncomfortable for no reason, as if he was reluctant to do anything: although this woman was wearing a mask, and the face that belonged to the most lovesick was not her true face, but that unique temperament had deeply attracted his attention......

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Li temporarily shook off these thoughts: "There is no need to be like this, as you said, the person that the master can trust, we can naturally trust, how can you leak the secret of the Killing Gate?

"A letter, a message. Duanmu Youning sighed slightly, carefully took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xiaoli, "Master said, this letter must be handed over to the Eastern Envoy Xiaoli in person, after you read the letter, you will be able to understand something." ”

Xiao Li couldn't wait to take the letter in his hand and take a look, only to find that although there was a thick stack of stationery inside, the envelope was extremely simple, and it was not even sealed! Smiling slightly, he looked at Duanmu's warm eyes: "Have you read this letter?"

"The letter is for you, why should I read it?" Duanmu Youning smiled faintly, "What's more, everyone in the world knows that the Killing Sect has a unique set of symbols, and the letters written with this symbol can be understood by no one except for the disciples. ”

Xiaoli smiled again: "Just kidding." Your heart is higher than the sky, how can you do such a sneaky thing? Senior sister, sit down for a while, let me read the contents of the letter first!"

The words "the heart is higher than the sky" made Duanmu stunned, and a strange feeling passed through his heart. Sensing the change in her eyes, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Yan Xunhuan's lips: Girl, no matter how you cover it up, you are a radiant pearl and jade, which is impossible to let go......

Min Feiyang's letter was very long, and Xiao Li took a long time to read it after reading a stick of incense. As his gaze moved on the paper, the expression on his face became extremely complex, almost incomprehensible, and made the other three look at each other.

Slowly folding the letter paper aside, Xiaoli finally raised his head: "Senior sister, you just said that the master of the door still has a message......

"Yes. Duanmu Youning nodded and pointed to the acacia ring on the table, "This is the acacia ring." Master said let me keep it for the time being, and when I find the main altar of the Killing Gate, I will give this thing to a person named Dugu Wei, and ask him to succeed him as the master of the Gate and become the new leader of the Killing Gate!"

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and an obvious thoughtful look suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Dugu Wei ......"

"Hmm. Duanmu Youning agreed, "But I don't know where this person is now, Senior Brother had better invite him at this moment, and I can complete Master's entrustment and leave as soon as possible." ”

Xiaoli stared at Duanmu's condensed eyes, and suddenly shook his head after a moment: "I don't know, I haven't heard of this person." ”

"What?" Duanmu Youning felt incredulous when he heard this, "A person who has never even heard of the capital of the four envoys of the Killing Sect, Master actually wants him to succeed him as the master of ......the sect?" How is this possible?"

"It's unbelievable, but it's true. Xiao Li's words were sincere, his eyes were honest, and there was no sign of lying at all, "Although there are many disciples under the Killing Sect, I know the details of each of them, and I don't remember that there is such a person as Dugu Wei. Did the master give you any hints or clues?"

Duanmu Youning frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "No, he only said this, I thought you must know who Dugu Wei was, so I didn't ask more, now...... That's terrible......"

"It's okay, just look for it. Xiaoli was very optimistic, "Maybe some of the disciples are incognito, and there are people like you who have not shown their true identities, so I will investigate them carefully." But before you find Dugu Wei, does the door master want you to temporarily take the place of the door master?"

Duanmu Youning was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Or because of the Acacia Ring. Xiao Li smiled with a smile of "sure enough", "If the door master just asks you to pass on a message, he will only give you the acacia ring, and will not tell you the mantra to unlock this ring." Since he told you the mantra, he means that he has also entrusted the Killing Gate to you! In this case, you are now our Sect Master!"

Duanmu Youning immediately shook his head: "There are your four messengers in the lore gate, where do you need me to temporarily replace the door master......?

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have sworn a poisonous oath in front of the master. Xiaoli smiled, his face was full of the domineering calmness of "strategizing and winning a thousand miles", "Before handing over the Acacia Ring to its true owner, you will do your best to protect the Killing Gate as the master of the door, otherwise I wish the person you care about the most will die without a place to be buried!!"

Duanmu Youning was a little stammered, and then smiled bitterly: "You know again? I almost forgot...... But I ...... I ......"

"Stay for the time being, and guard the lore gate. Xiaoli is still smiling, but only he knows what is contained in the smile, "And don't worry, I will do my best to protect you until Acacia Ring waits for its true owner!
