Chapter 17: Bells and Drums

Ghost Vulture City, Ghost Vulture Palace.

There is a way that money can make ghosts grind, this truth is infinitely magnified in the ghost road, and the small silver tickets exchanged by the Venerable Mo Qi are all scattered, the guards of the Ghost Vulture Palace are no better than the guards of the outer city, the people here are all children of the family, even if they are from a side line, the status of the inverted son-in-law of the Venerable Mo Qi is much higher.

However, people are also quite polite to Master Mo Qi, at least after seeing the silver ticket, they are even more polite, and the shouts of "Uncle Mo Qi" and "Uncle Mo Qi" are extremely skillful.

After paying the taxes, Venerable Mo Qi asked the disciples on duty, "Why didn't you see Senior Brother Hua today?" ”

This is a small two-story building that is not very luxurious, there is nothing unusual about it, and it is not even as beautiful as Master Moqi's own courtyard, but it is heavily guarded, even if it is an "old acquaintance" like Mo Qi, he has to take out the token in a proper manner, and only after verifying his identity can he be released.

In the end, they are all cultivators, the delivery of property is very convenient, the storage bag is thrown over, and the disciple on duty knows at a glance how many things there are immediately, this is actually just a formality, it is impossible for Master Mo Qi to do anything on this, how much should it be, not a single point is not daring to be less, and not a point is more.

"Back to Uncle Shi's words, Master, he was called over by the head and several elders early in the morning, saying that a group of distinguished guests had come." The disciple on duty is named Hua Youbang, and his master is also his second uncle, speaking of which, he and the Venerable Master Mo Qi are also related, but they are much more "descendant" than Mo Qi's mother-in-law.

Not all the children of the family are as arrogant and unreasonable as the mentally handicapped, otherwise these cultivator families would not be able to pass on for several generations, not to mention that this Ghost Vulture Palace is not what the Hua family says, and he Hua Youbang is not the descendant of the patriarch.

"Guest?" Master Mo Qi asked again: "From Guancheng?" ”

As an outstanding Venerable Mo Qi among the second-generation disciples, he also knew that some time ago, envoys from the Seven Great Families came to "visit", although he could not know what was going on. It is not difficult to judge from the clues that there must be major changes in the official city recently.

It's just that he didn't dare to think that it was the seven major families who were going to join forces to force the palace.

"It's not." Speaking of this, Hua Youbang obviously hesitated.

Master Mo Qi knows the tricks very well. It's like how he looted the capital that day. Now he also handed over the last silver ticket he was carrying.

Hua Youbang was not polite, and took it generously. Only then did he say: "I heard that it is the leader of the gang of bandits in Wancheng." ”

Master Mo Qi was stunned: "What Wancheng?" ”

"Does Pingdingshan know?" Hua Youbang said.

"Of course I know," Master Mo Qi was suddenly stunned when he said this, and he looked incredulous: "What, could it be that those mountain bandits actually went down the mountain to build a city?" No. It's impossible, didn't you say that the head of the Huang family personally led people to suppress the bandits, isn't it ......?"

Master Mo Qi didn't dare to continue.

Hua Youbang nodded, and then said: "That's right, the Huang family master failed, and he still returned in defeat, so there is no news." ”

"I said. According to Huang Bingtian's temper, if he succeeds, it is impossible not to publicize it. Master Mo Qi was surprised: "But how long has it been, how can that group of mountain bandits be so strong. ”

Hua Youbang shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he didn't know either.

There are also all kinds of human beings in the ghost road. There is no shortage of three hundred and sixty lines even with the outer eight gates, and naturally there are people who occupy the mountain as the king, and since the cultivators have the intention to become the emperor, there is no shortage of cultivators who rob the house, but these people are almost all scattered cultivators, homeless, and there is no inheritance at all.

As long as the mountain bandits don't go too far, who can eat enough to fight the bandits? It is not destined to have any oil and water.

But the gang of bandits that suddenly appeared in Pingdingshan definitely belonged to the kind that went too far, and finally attracted the Ghost Vulture Palace to kill it personally.

It is estimated that no one expected that it would fail, not only that, but people actually built a "bandit city" in Da La, which is definitely a naked slap in the face, or the kind of clanging noise.

For true cultivators, it is not troublesome to build a city at all, and it is also not troublesome to destroy a city without the blessings of the Great Array, but the problem is that this symbolism is really completely different.

It's like Taizu made silver dollars in the Soviet area, although everyone knows that no one dares to use this currency if it leaves the Soviet area, but an organization that can issue currency really makes Brother Zhongzheng unable to treat him as an ordinary rogue.

As a result, it seems that the Ghost Vulture Palace not only did not continue to send troops to recruit and suppress, but the boss of the family came to the door in person, and it was estimated that he was here to negotiate the conditions, and eighty percent of them were going to come to the Ghost Vulture Palace, after all, at this time, "selling oneself" can be sold at a higher price than when he was a mountain bandit in Pingdingshan before. Despite this, if nothing else, just this courage, Master Mo Qi secretly admired it in his heart.

"Hey, we can't worry about this kind of thing, naturally there are those big people to take care of, those of us who are disciples, just eat and drink well every day and don't cause trouble." Hua Youbang said the truth, and then said: "Tonight, I will be drunk and dreamy, and I will be the east to pick you up." ”

Master Mo Qi smiled bitterly and agreed, how could he not know that he usually had to pay for such occasions, but since people said so, it was difficult for him to refuse.

At this moment, the bell and drum tower in the Ghost Vulture Palace suddenly sounded with the sound of bells and drums.

The disciples of the Ghost Vulture Palace were all stunned when they heard this, and their faces did not have much discoloration.

But gradually, everyone was no longer calm, because the sound of bells and drums actually rang a full fifteen times.

Seven bells and eight drums!

Except for Xiao Lang, everyone understood what this meant.

One bell and one drum are to remind the time of the exercise, two bells and three drums are to convene a meeting of the disciples, as for the nine bells and nine drums, it means that the Ghost Vulture Palace is on the verge of life and death, and all the disciples must prepare to resist the enemy at the first time.

These seven bells and eight drums have sounded a total of fifteen times, although it has not yet reached the critical juncture of the survival of the sect, but the Ghost Vulture Palace has not experienced it once in the past hundred years, so that everyone doesn't know what to do, and the first reaction in their hearts is that it shouldn't be anyone's disciple knocking too much.

Slowly, someone still reacted, with Master Mo Qi being the fastest, he didn't care that Xiao Lang was not a disciple of the Ghost Vulture Palace at this time, so he pulled Xiao Lang up and ran towards the main hall of the Ghost Vulture.

It was also his caution that he knew that once there was chaos in this palace, with Xiao Lang's skills, he was afraid that something would go wrong.

It's just that Xiao Lang may be ready to take advantage of the chaos to escape, at least not to wade into this unknown muddy water, but Master Mo Qi is holding him by the hand, and Xiao Lang can only follow.
