Chapter 44: The Skillful Gate

The short hills in front of me are dozens of meters high, but they strangely give people a rugged feeling, bald peaks and strange rocks, and occasionally mixed with a few ancient pines. can't help but make people have a different appreciation of the northland scenery outside this pass. It's just that a modern cemetery of a large scale has appeared here! As a result, the good scenery has been destroyed, the area of the cemetery paved with cement and stone is not small, and the tombs that are either vacant or have already been 'settled' by the deceased are arranged in a neat and uniform manner like 'Chase Shop', plus tombstones、、、 it feels like a delicate and elegant landscape painting with a small advertisement pasted on it, which makes people unappetizing!

The cemetery was deserted, and there were no people to see moving, and on the surrounding flat land, drought-tolerant corn seedlings had grown more than half a foot high, which was actually easy to feed, and there were no farmers who came out to tend to the crops in the evening. Shen Yuan and his party were separated and hidden in a pine forest a few hundred meters away, Shen Yuan and Shen Budo were invited to come to a clean flat ground next to a boulder on the side of a mountain, Hu Xiaomei stayed alone in the car and said that she wanted to rest, but she was actually going to be the first backup for the two、、、

Mr. Long's two men silently laid out a small folding table and three soft futon mats on a large clean stone, and on the table were a local specialty, a smoked chicken, a few cans of beer, and some charcuterie. Then he silently stood outside the boulder, quietly guarding.

Long Jiushi sat on the side of the small table, opened a small bottle of liquor, poured some into the three paper cups, picked up a glass and said to Shen Yuan: "Boss Fang, meet suddenly, this glass of wine will be regarded as an apology, and please Boss Fang can appreciate his face!" With that, he tilted his head and poured the spicy liquor from the glass into his mouth! However, Long Jiushi didn't seem to be good at drinking, and after only taking a sip of wine, he choked and coughed, and his tears choked.

Shen Yuan and Shen Budo glanced at each other and sat down slightly stiffly, Shen Yuan still pinched the half-baked Hong Kong-style Mandarin: "Mr. Long, you say that, but it's a little out of sight, right?" The contemptible means of you are 、、、"

Long Jiushi suddenly raised his head and stared at Shen Yuan with his reddened eyes open, "Who are you?" Are you from the outer hall of the jade master? ”

Shi Xuan's words almost frightened Shen Yuan to jump up!

"Mr. Dragon! What do you mean by 、、、 、、、 、、、? ”

Shen Budo moved his body back slightly, hugged his arms, and in fact, his hands had already buckled two sharp blades on the inside of the placket of his coat! His eyes roamed over the two young men who had remained silent not far away、、、

Long Jiushi still stared at Shen Yuan, "You should be able to see that I am now half a wasted person 、、、 a dying person, and I don't have so much heart to play tricks!" As he spoke, he pulled out a silk thread from his chest, and a small rectangular jade plaque was tied under the silk thread.

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at this piece of jade, feeling that this piece of jade was as lifeless as a dead jade stubborn stone, without any special features.

Long Jiushi smiled and slowly untied the black silk thread tied with some strange knots on the jade, in an instant! Shen Yuan felt as if the ordinary jade brand had come to life! A faint trace of jade spiritual power slowly spread、、、

"You! 、、、This is 、、、" Shen Yuan was dumbfounded.

Long Jiushi gently pushed the jade plate forward on the small table, and said with a little excitement: "I didn't expect that I could really meet the descendants of the Jade Master of the Year!" I 、、、 I was a disciple of the Old Thirteen Sects of the Skillful Sect! ”

"How can you have 、、、? 、、、 "Shen Yuan has taken this genuine Zhenling Jade!" It is undoubtedly confirmed that the jade spiritual power in it is left by his grandfather back then.

Long Jiushi smiled bitterly、、、 "Hehe、、、 I think I know who you are here for, you are looking for Wang Ziheng, right?" ”

Shen Budo stared at him with cold eyes: "What is your identity?" How did they recognize us? ”

Long Jiushi said calmly: "This time, it is indeed Wang Ziheng who sent someone to inform me that I am not allowed to take the initiative to meet with any outsiders in the near future, but if I encounter a suspicious person, take the initiative to contact my person." Take control of it now! And give it to them、、、"

"You said that you were a disciple of the Qiaogong Sect back then, what evidence do you have? Also, how did you get involved with that guy Wang Ziheng? What exactly is your relationship? Shen Yuan calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

Long Jiushi looked at Shen Yuan's eyes: "In the world, except for the spirit array of the Yungui Formation Gate, only the means of my skillful gate can perfectly hide the jade spirit power of the jade appreciator!"

Have you forgotten? The knot buckle on this rope is the unique knot formation technique of my Qiaogongmen, the magic rope knot buckle of the Mo family! There is also this jade plaque, this jade plaque is a token that the seventy-first generation jade connoisseur of the year personally sacrificed and then gave to the thirteen fellow disciples to recognize each other when hiding their identities! ”

Shen Budo looked at Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan held the jade plate and nodded to Shen Budo, the jade card was indeed the unique jade spiritual power of the seventy-first generation jade connoisseur. That kind of blood-linked spiritual power fluctuation is absolutely impossible to fake!

Long Jiushi continued: "I secretly learned from the Dianjiangtai of the Great Black Temple in Mengqu that on the side of the Five Immortals Sect of Tongyuan Fort, Wang Ziheng and his gang suffered a big loss, and they were almost wiped out there. However, they still got their hands on a remarkable thing、、、 I guess the dragon ball guarded by the fox fairy family was lost, right? ”

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "You know that you don't leave ten, and there is nothing to hide from these, now tell me immediately, how did you recognize us?" What is the relationship between you and Wang Ziheng? Since you have explained your identity to us here, there must be something to explain to us, be honest、、、 maybe we don't have to fight each other now! ”

Long Jiushi kneaded the knot in his hand with a gloomy expression, and said in a low voice: "Me? 、、、We are all puppets of the Great Black Temple、、、 me, my family、、、 the master、、、 and Wang Ziheng! We are all 、、、."

Shen Yuanshen did not doubt that when he heard it, it was the first two big 、、、 Shen Yuan asked, "What big black temple?" Are they the black-clothed men of the year? ”

Long Jiushi nodded and shook his head: "I don't know, six years ago, Master and I fell into their hands. The master and the master's only daughter were also arrested! Several brothers from the same sect tried their best to save us, but they were all killed, killed, caught, and caught、、、 Qiaogongmen 、、、was gone、、、 the Great Black Temple should be the black-clothed gate, but not all black-clothed gates、、、

The black-clothed gate has never been a group of people from a single mountain gate! No one knows how many of them there are, how many mountain gates are their power! Here the Great Black Temple controls all of us, and over the years, we have dug countless ancient tombs for them. Helped them get a lot of artifacts and relics、、、"

"Is there a bone incinerator in there?" Shen Budo stared at him and asked.

"Yes, the bone incinerator was dug out by us people from the Zhenlong acupoint on the side of the Black Dragon Gate!"

"How the hell did you recognize us?" Shen Yuan asked.

"You have the spirit jade that the jade connoisseur has cultivated on you! The piece of spirit jade I am wearing can sense, and the 、、、 situation back then was extremely dangerous, and our thirteen disciples can sometimes only rely on the mutual induction of the spirit jade to confirm each other's identities! I've now lifted the shield on the spirit jade, if you carefully perceive the spirit jade on your body, you should be able to find that the two spirit jade will have a wonderful resonance! ”

Shen Yuan and Shen Budo both had the spirit jade of the seventy-first generation jade connoisseur sacrifice, Shen Yuan was the one that Shen Budo Lao Dou handed back, and Shen Budo was one of the several pieces of spirit jade that his grandfather brought overseas.

At this time, after being reminded by Long Jiushi, the two of them quickly and carefully perceived it, and sure enough! The spirit jade on the two of them and the spirit jade in Shen Yuan's hand seemed to have such a resonance、、、 but it was so faint 、、、 almost imperceptible!"

Long Jiushi sighed and said, "It seems that the aura of this piece of spirit jade in my hand has almost dissipated, so you didn't notice it, but it was this spirit jade that saved my life, and it also gave me the opportunity to meet and chat with you today!" ”

Shen Yuan looked at Long Jiushi and asked, "Relying on this, I still can't trust you." What do you want to tell us? Want us to help you get your family out? ”

Long Jiushi nodded: "Yes, I want to beg you, for the sake of our ancestors who fought side by side and lived and died together, save our mountain gate!" Rescued my junior sister and a few junior brothers、、、 under the stone are the youngest two, my two junior brothers、、、"

Shen Yuan frowned: "What's the matter with the two of them?" If you're sane, why don't you want to take them away? ”

Long Jiushi shook his head: "Didn't you see that they couldn't even speak?" They are two half-distracted puppets who can do what I tell them to do, but without a miracle, they and I 、、、 probably won't live more than three months! ”

"Those people in the Great Black Temple use drugs to control you?"

"Yes! Drug、、、 Puppet Technique、、、Soul Sealing Talisman" Long Jiushi slowly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his skinny chest, only to see the black dense spell drawn on his skin like a black tattoo. The spell is hideous and weird, forming a ghost claw shape in the heart position! It's disgusting to look at 、、、 talisman that still seems to be exuding a faint cold aura.

Shen Bu said, "According to what you said, all of you are firmly controlled by the Great Black Temple!" So how did you sneak out of control? ”

Long Jiushi suddenly showed a childlike smile: "Hehe、、、 I have to thank the ancestor of the jade connoisseur who sealed the bone incineration furnace in your sect back then!" The spiritual jade on my body was secretly given to me by Master before he died, and it was never left and kept hidden very well.

Last year when we were ordered to fetch the boneburner. I myself triggered the spirit jade circle left by I don't know which generation of jade masters, and just when I was dying, this piece of spirit jade actually saved my life!

However, the circle also happened to break the puppet charm on my body、、、 and although I still lost half my life, I regained all my senses. Although I still have to rely on the antidote of the Great Black Temple to hang my life, it can be regarded as getting rid of the fate of being a puppet until death! ”

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "Where is Wang Ziheng?" What are they planning 、、、 the Great Black Temple now? ”

Long Jiushi shook his head: "Wang Ziheng saw me once in the Great Black Temple Mountain five days ago, and took away some 'yellow and white' dug out of the soil, but he didn't say anything special. Called to order me to pay attention to strangers who took the initiative to contact us, it was yesterday, I think that after the Great Black Temple fought with the Five Immortal Sect in Tongyuan Fort, the Five Immortal Sect must be reported in a big way! So I've been keeping an eye out for any people targeting the Great Black Temple that are within my reach.

Your presence this time may be our only chance to do so! They should be understaffed now、、、"

Shen Bu asked, "These earth rats who follow you are all disciples of your skillful sect?" ”

Long Jiushi shook his head: "No, although the Qiaogongmen is only a small inheritance, it is also born from the dignified Mo family!" How can it be possible to do such insulting things for a living with all over the house?

Most of these people are 、、、 people who are not easy to live in Mongolia, and they basically have some unclean foundations, so they can barely be regarded as some poor people! They don't know much about the Great Black Temple, but there must be a lot of 'eyes' mixed in with the Great Black Temple! ”

Shen Yuan nodded, still skeptical in his heart, and said, "How do you think that we are the disciples of the Jade Master's Outer Hall?" Just with a trace of resonance from the spirit jade? ”

Long Jiushi looked at Shen Yuan: "When the battle of the old thirteen sects disappeared, the rest of the people really didn't contact each other again, but the few disciples who escaped in advance still left some information, and when my master was trapped in the Great Black Temple, he secretly told me that only one outer disciple escaped from the Jade Master's lineage, and it is said that he never came back from overseas."

You also claim to be merchants from the South Seas, and the timing of this is unusual. As soon as I got the news, I rushed over to verify your identity. The spiritual power fluctuations of the jade plate will not lie! When I saw you at that time, I was sure that you must be the disciples of the Jade Master who had returned from the outer hall! ”

Looking at Long Jiushi's pale face with a hint of sickly ruddyness, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little powerless! He hasn't even figured out his own affairs、、、 and now after meeting a friend who fought side by side with his grandfather back then, after some verification and interrogation, Shen Yuan has already believed in this Long Jiushi's words in his heart. The three words of the Great Black Temple are already the biggest harvest of this trip to Liaoxi, at least now I know the name of the opponent!

Shen Budo shook his head and said: "With only one rope, we can't believe that you are the descendant of the Qiaogongmen back then, even if you are indeed the descendant of the Qiaogongmen, how can we confirm that you didn't really take refuge in the big black temple Those guys who belonged to the Xuanmen Sect back then?" ”

Long Jiushi nodded: "I know, Long has not been walking the rivers and lakes for three years or two, and I can't trust each other at once if I recognize each other so abruptly." ”

Shen Budo looked into his eyes: "It's good that you know, now there is only one way to make us believe in you!" Catch Wang Ziheng! ”

Long Jiushi lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Shen Yuan and the others: "It's difficult to attack Wang Ziheng all at once!" As I said, Wang Ziheng is actually a puppet under the control of the Great Black Temple. But the one who hates Wang Ziheng the most should be the fox fairy family in Tongyuan Castle, right? I wonder if there are any people from the Five Immortals Sect among the people you are traveling with? ”

Shen Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes!" This is a joint action between the Five Immortal Sect and our outer hall, the Five Immortal Sect is mainly to deal with Wang Ziheng, and we want to see who is hiding behind Wang Ziheng? ”

Long Jiushi grinned and smiled: "I knew that it would not be so easy for them to get out of the Five Immortals Sect outside the gate, and this time they came out, first, Zhao Zhangpan They could not rest assured that they could not be caught by mistake in the number." The second is 、、、

I think the Five Immortal Sect will definitely follow our line, originally I wanted to ask the Fox Immortal Family of the Five Immortal Sect to find a way to rescue the few remaining disciples of my Qiaogong Sect, but I suddenly met the Jade Connoisseur's subordinates! It was a surprise、、、

It's good, that's good! A few more helpers and help each other, if I hadn't been bent on escaping the world and thinking about protecting myself over the years, I wouldn't have uprooted a big black temple so alone! Now, my master can't even look down under the Nine Springs! 、、、Alas、、、"

Shen Budo nodded: "How many of these people under your command are your henchmen?" The kind you can absolutely trust? ”

Long Jiushi's expression was gloomy: "There are not a few, except for the two dumb little junior disciples beside me, most of the rest are authentic earth rats." I took them to 'dig the pit', and they handed over the things they had to me, and the magic weapons or extremely precious cultural relics were handed over to the people of the Great Black Temple, and the rest of the 'yellow and white' were disposed of through various channels.

They only knew that the Great Black Temple was supposed to be the protector behind them, but they didn't know how deep the water was inside. ”

Shen Bu asked, "Then how many of your disciples are left now?" What is the state? ”

A flush of excitement appeared on Long Jiushi's face, and then it turned pale again: "Seven! There are only seven left! Master died in a quarry to the west of the Great Black Temple last year, and I only saw his old man's body. Master only has one daughter left, named Xiaoni!

In the past few years, Xiao Ni has been locked up in the valley of the Great Black Temple in Longtou Ridge, and I can see her once every six months. In the past two years, this child's consciousness seems to be a little less sober, I don't know if Xiao Ni has been forced to take drugs to control, not counting the two walking dead like junior brothers outside.

There are also three junior brothers I haven't seen for almost a year, and I don't know if they are dead or alive! ”

Tragically、、、 Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel extremely chilled in his heart about what happened to the Qiaogong Gate that Long Jiushi said! If according to what he said, the Qiaogongmen, a cultivation sect that is passed down from the Mo family's lineage, can almost be said to have been uprooted by others and suffered a catastrophe!

The three of them sat opposite each other, relatively silent, and Long Jiushi knew that the other party was now thinking about how credible what he said. Under the gradually darkening sky, Long Jiushi cast a cold and expectant look at the pensive Shen Yuan、、、、、、
