Chapter 45: Deadlocked
Dark Truth Society?
After all, everyone is quite familiar with the domestic rivers and lakes, even Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, they are still familiar with it -- after all, several of you here have gone there to brush up on "copies" when they have nothing to do, but when it comes to the Middle East, whether it is Zuo Dao or us, we are all a little confused.
We don't have much of an impression of the Middle East, except for oil, tyrants, deserts, and war.
So everyone looked at Kaba, and at this time, Wei Mu explained to us: "Have you heard of the old man in the mountain? ”
Yes?
Lu Zuo frowned, and said that you are talking about the old man in the mountains in Southeast Asia?
Wei Mu shook his head, and said no, I don't know how there is an old man in the mountains in Southeast Asia, the old man in the mountains I am talking about is a Persian, his real name is Hassan bin Sabah, he claims to be a descendant of the Himyar dynasty in South Arabia, founded the famous terrorist extremist sect Assasin in history, and then dealt with political opponents with strict terrorist activities.
When he said this, I suddenly remembered the name of this man, who was rampant in Persia and the Middle East, and his whereabouts were quite mysterious, so that many monarchs were helpless against him, until the Mongols grew stronger and swept across Europe and Asia, and were wiped out by the 100,000 Mongol army of the second westward invasion led by Hülegü.
I told what I knew, Wei Mu nodded, yes, it's him, although the old man in the mountains died, but Assasin did not die, but has always survived secretly, and because of the war in the Middle East in modern times, the power is getting bigger and bigger.
Kaye also said at this time: "It is now called the Dark Truth Society, not only in the Middle East, but also with the intention of invading the Northwest Lands, and now the Zoroastrianism that has been raging in the Northwest Frontier has a deep relationship with it, and there are even many members of the Dark Truth Society directly involved in it; What is even more frightening is that it has given up its hostility with many sects and concentrated on developing its own power, which has made it closely related to many forces in Europe, Africa and the Americas......"
If this came from the mouth of an official of a relevant department, I might have taken it for granted, but from the mouth of this member of the Tianshan Divine Pond Palace in a remote corner, it made people feel a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Tianshan Shenchi Palace's understanding of the situation in this world is far more familiar than ours.
However, it is no wonder that the Tianshan Shenchi Palace is located in the northwest, which may be too far for us, but it is not far from Central Asia and the Middle East.
It is even closer to the developed eastern regions of the country.
Lu Zuo was silent for a while, saying that these people really had the courage to attack the Divine Pond Palace?
Jia Ye shook his head, he couldn't say clearly, but our merchants had feedback before, so they would strengthen their vigilance, and it was best not to have this matter, but if the other party really wanted to come, we could only resolutely resist, and we couldn't let those people treat us here as soft persimmons.
After checking with us, he had other things to do, and said goodbye and left, but Wei Mu stayed.
Lu Zuo looked at Wei Mu and said How much do you know about the Dark Truth Society?
Wei Mu shook his head, saying that he didn't know much, only that the big leader of the Dark Truth Society was also called Ben Sabah, it was said that he was a very terrifying and extremely resourceful person, with great ambitions, and it was in his hands that the Dark Truth Society swelled dramatically, and he not only had a large number of masters who believed in the terrifying teachings of Assasin, but also raised an army mixed with a large number of cultivators, calling himself the Truth Army, which was very famous in the underground world.
Lu Zuo frowned, he didn't know what he was thinking, but Zamao Xiaodao looked very happy, and said I didn't expect there to be so many wonderful things in the world, the last time we went to Europe, we should actually stay to learn more about the world, if we meet this time, I really want to fight with it.
He seemed a little eager to try, while Lu Zuo looked at Wei Mu and said Regarding the matter of meeting with Tao Dixian, you can help urge it again, if the Shenchi Palace has his protection, it must be safer.
When he said this, he looked very serious, and Wei Mu also nodded, saying that he tried his best.
After the two sides separated, we went to the market again, took the rest of the money, and carried out some purchases, this time focusing more on buying some practical things, such as living materials, as well as the following refining materials, and related elixirs.
When it was night, news came from the inner palace that they wanted us to go here.
After the previous coaxing incident, it was naturally Wei Mu who came to pass the word.
Qu Fatsan still refused to go, so we left Duoduo here to accompany her, while I, Zamao Xiaodao and Lu Zuo followed Wei Mu and a team of people to the inner city of Shenchi Palace.
At the door of the inn, I happened to meet Zhu Bingwen.
He was a little distracted, and when I called him, I heard several voices, and I asked him how things were going.
Zhu Bingwen told me that the negotiation was not completed, and Princess Tribulus had a big quarrel with his master, and neither side was able to convince anyone.
I said what then?
Zhu Bingwen seemed to be empty, and reacted slowly to my question, and only said after a while: "Ah, I don't know, maybe we will talk about it again......"
At this time, the miscellaneous trail called me from afar, and I realized that the team had gone far.
I saw that Zhu Bingwen was a little out of state, patted him on the shoulder, and said If you have something, come to me, we are friends, if there is anything I can help, I will definitely help you.
Anyway, I followed the team.
Tianshan Shenchi Palace said that it was big, but it was not big or big, and we walked all the way to the lake, and we came to the long bridge by the lake.
This long bridge is made of blue crystal, and on each pillar of the bridge, there are lights, a group of light is swaying, people walking on it, looking at the translucent black lake under their feet, inexplicably a little more ethereal thoughts.
The inner castle of the Shrine Palace, on an island in the middle of the lake.
The walking speed of the whole team was not too fast, step by step, and it seemed very dull, even Wei Mu barely spoke, so that we did not speak, but just used our eyes to take in the scenery along the way.
The long bridge was wide, and when we entered the city, some people came out.
Most of these people are the gate lords of the inner city, and although the Divine Pond Palace is dominated by Nae Shenji, there are also many gate valve surnames that jointly rule the rules of the Divine Pond Palace.
People who live in the outer city and those who live in the inner city can easily tell the difference if they have a little experience.
One of the biggest characteristics is that there are many cultivators in the inner city, and the proportion of masters is also very large.
From time to time, there are also horse teams passing by, heroic and cool.
Under the guidance of Wei Mu, we walked all the way through and finally came to a palace.
The outside of this palace is very heavily guarded, and when we step inside, we can feel its solemn atmosphere and decoration, and we know that we must have arrived at the location.
The meeting with the palace master of the Divine Pond Palace, Wei Shenji, is very simple, just above the pagoda by the lake, and the meeting with Wei Mu's grandmother is more formal, and this situation also allows us to feel that the person in charge of this Divine Pond Palace is probably the former palace master of the Divine Pond Palace, which we have never met.
I heard Wei Mu say that his grandmother's name is Wei Yinji.
Belch......
This is a very interesting thing, at first glance it doesn't seem to be wrong, but if you think about it carefully, according to the habits of Chinese people, most people will use their father's surname as a inheritance, but Wei Mu here is just the opposite, his grandmother's surname is Wei, his mother's surname is Wei, and he himself is surnamed Wei.
This is all based on his mother's surname, plus Wei Mu told us that his grandmother's husband's family rebelled......
It sounds like a story.
I thought that Wei Mu's grandmother was a gray-haired old woman, but I didn't expect it to be a mature and bright woman, looking at that appearance, it is estimated that she is only thirty or forty years old.
It is true that the appearance of a cultivator is not easy for people to see through at a glance, but in the end, there are still some biological laws that should be observed.
And now it seems that it is estimated that the Tianshan Shenchi Palace must have some elixirs that have the ability to calm the face, or the exercises practiced by the other party have such an effect, so that it will become like this.
I saw that the guy in the hairy trail began to light up with both eyes.
In the middle of the temple, six people sat opposite each other.
On the opposite side are Wei Mu's grandmother, mother and him, and on this side are Zamao Xiaodao, Lu Zuo and me.
The content of the conversation is still not far from the last pagoda conversation, Lu Zuo talked about the purpose of our visit this time, and also elaborated on the idea that we hope to be able to communicate on behalf of Tao Dixian, and help the Tianshan Shenchi Palace establish a connection with his old man.
However, unlike Wei Shenji, this former Shenchi Palace Master was more resistant to this matter.
Her attitude is very gentle, and she can even be said to be kind to us, but we can feel a trace of indescribable indifference.
It's a strange emotion, it's not obvious, but we can all feel it.
When the other party showed such an attitude, the conversation fell into silence and stalemate for a while, and at this moment, suddenly someone from outside came to report.
Wei Mu got up and asked if there was anything urgent, and the other party replied, saying that there were three people outside who said that they wanted to see the palace master, and two of them were with these three.
Yes?
We were all stunned, we didn't know what Qu Fatsan and Duoduo were doing here?
Isn't that guy Qu Fatsan very resistant to meeting with the high-level of the Shenchi Palace, why did he come here again?
We were all strange, and so was Wei Mu, but after consulting with the elders and us, he asked the man to bring the man over.
We looked towards the temple gate, but as soon as the door opened, I saw that the first person to come in was Zhu Bingwen.
What is he here for?
