Chapter 421: Crossing the Loess Slope
But his response made me speechless: "I am a disciple of Baiwu Mountain, but ...... But I don't know anything! ”
I had the urge to scold my mother at that time, look at what he was wearing, the Taoist robe was the same white base as the beginner disciple, but the texture was an inky blue close to pure black.
Being able to wear such a suit of clothes shows that his status in Baiwu Mountain should be very high, but such a person doesn't even have the slightest ability to protect himself.
I kind of understand, it is no accident that Zhao Dekai can appear in Baiwu Mountain, this sect has been extremely decayed after thousands of years of wind and rain, even if there is no Zhao Dekai today, Zhang Dekai and Li Dekai will appear tomorrow, and Baiwu Mountain will be finished sooner or later.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and then continued to use the soul sealing talisman and the green steel sword to drive away the Yin soldiers who were running towards the old man.
Seeing that the soul sealing talisman was about to run out, and we were still at least five hundred meters away from the stone pile, I had to urge the old man in front of me to hurry up, but he actually said that both of his legs were weak and he couldn't walk fast.
I was really disgusted with this person at the time, so I yelled at him: "I only have three talismans left now, and when the talismans run out, you just wait to die!" ”
As soon as he heard the word "death", he suddenly quickened his pace, and rushed towards the stone pile, and after walking for so many days, I had never seen him run, but now he was running.
I quickened my pace to catch up with him as I drove away the Yin soldiers for him, and when I threw the last rune, we finally came to the stake.
A few Yin soldiers rushed over from the left and swept towards the old man with a wave of Changge.
This kind of Changge has a very heavy yin qi on it, and before the black water corpse coffin exerted its strength, I almost couldn't bear it after two blows, not to mention his pampered one.
But I didn't have a soul sealing talisman at this time, and after blocking a few Changge from his right side with a green steel sword, I kicked him on the thigh, he couldn't bear it, and he lay on the ground with a snort, and those Changge almost swept over his scalp.
At this time, it doesn't matter what traditional virtues are respecting the old and loving the young, let's save his life first.
As soon as the old man fell to the ground, I settled down, entered the realm of Sicun, and quickly stepped out.
Bu Gang stepped on the fight, the star power came as scheduled, and a huge force field covered the area of five meters around me, once those Yin soldiers entered this area, they were instantly wiped out, and the old man was also pressed to the ground, unable to move at all.
After I finished my steps, I shouted at him distractedly, "Are you still alive?" ”
He replied with great difficulty: "No...... Dead ......"
Although the weight of the star power is powerful, it is not enough to crush people, and this power has no effect on me.
I immediately took out the steel cable, made a noose, threw it to the top of the stone pile, and slowly pulled it twice, luckily, the noose caught something at the top of the stone pile, I pulled it twice hard, and the steel cable did not move.
Then I put the old man on my shoulders and climbed up the tightrope as fast as I could.
After he was affected by the star power, his whole body became extremely heavy, and I felt very difficult to carry him, but fortunately, the star power was gradually dissipating, and his body became lighter and lighter.
Before the star power was about to disappear, I finally reached the top of the stone stump, and I saw that the noose of the steel cable was encasing the half of the stump near the edge of the stone stump, and new shoots had already grown on the section of the stump.
Since there are creatures here, it means that the Yin soldiers in the canyon have not appeared here.
But even so, standing here, I could already feel the strong yin qi coming from the canyon.
I put away the tightrope, and the old man got up, saying that the road ahead was smooth, and walked briskly ahead as he spoke.
Speaking of which, although this old man has no ability, his body bones are surprisingly good, just now he first kicked me, and then he was suppressed by the star power, and now he walks like a vigorous tiger.
And this person seems to have a natural resistance to yin qi, although there are no yin soldiers here, but the yin qi is still strong, but he seems to be unaffected.
I followed him down a relatively flat road, and on the side of the road, I saw a campfire that had just been extinguished and was still smoking, and several empty cans.
It seems that the old man didn't say anything, Jiang Bin did send people to garrison nearby, and these people probably left when the yin qi appeared in the canyon.
In fact, there is one thing I have never figured out, Zhao Dekai wants to arrest people, why don't he just send people to intercept us, but he has made so many troublesome arrangements on the road, and deliberately guided us to Jiang Bin's territory.
For this, the old man's explanation to me is that Zhao Dekai and Jiang Bin seem to be allies, but in fact, they are secretly calculating each other, when Zhao Dekai learned that he was rescued, he would not act easily before he was not sure who the person who saved him was, he was afraid that if he ran into a master who could not be provoked, he would lose his manpower, and to put it bluntly, he was still afraid that his strength would be damaged, so he led us to Jiang Bin's territory.
As for Jiang Bin's reaction when Zhao Dekai threw the hot potato to Jiang Bin, no one knows.
The rest of the road was much better, not only was the road smooth, but there were no unusual conditions along the way.
I thought that Zhao Dekai probably didn't believe that we could get out of his encirclement, so he didn't fortify on the road behind. But the old man said that Zhao Dekai didn't believe that we could leave his encirclement, but that he would think that anyone who could leave the encirclement he set up was not something he could provoke, so he simply sold it cheaply on the road behind.
After experiencing the Yin Bing's borrowing of the Tao, I found that the old man's attitude towards me became very kind, and he often took the initiative to talk to me, intentionally or unintentionally leaking some details of Zhao Dekai to me.
I feel extremely disgusted from the bottom of my heart for the old man's sophisticated face, but I have to say that the information he revealed is still very useful.
He said that after Zhao Dekai took over the power of several small clans, he was not satisfied, and extended his claws to them, but these big clans have a big business, even if Zhao Dekai forcibly deducted dividends, there is still enough industry and livelihood to support the daily expenses of the entire clan, and the industry of the big clans is often not limited to Shaanxi, and many people do business outside the province.
Zhao Dekai has the heart to control these clans, but his strength is limited after all, especially for those families who open their main industries outside the province, even if Zhao Dekai wants to hack other people's industries, but he is beyond the reach of the whip.
But no matter what kind of family it is, there are always a few people in it who don't open their eyes, especially those young Zhuang factions who want to oust the older generation of families so that they can take charge of the family. Now Zhao Dekai has the momentum to annex all the clans, but these young Zhuang factions still focus on the infighting regardless of the life and death of the family.
There are many similarities between the struggle between the Shaozhuang faction and the head of the family and the power struggle between the elders and the head of Baiwu Mountain. It's just that the two parties in the family battle are at least close in strength, and the head of Baiwu Mountain is just a puppet of the Council of Elders.
Now, Zhao Dekai is trying his best to tie up with the young Zhuang faction in various clans, and he has secretly signed contracts with some young Zhuang factions, promising to help these young Zhuang factions sit in the position of elders, and these young Zhuang factions promised to assign half of the sphere of influence to Zhao Dekai after the matter is completed.
Of course, not every Shaozhuang faction of a big clan has signed such a contract with Zhao Dekai, for example, the old man's family does not, and the Shaozhuang faction in their family was originally supported by him, and he will not snatch the position of the head of the family with him.
Hearing him say this, I realized that he was also one of the elders of Baiwu Mountain.
I asked him what role he played in Zhao Dekai's clique, but he refused to speak.
It seems that he has followed Zhao Dekai over the years and has done a lot of dirty things.
After four days and nights of sleepless work, I was physically and mentally at my limits, and thankfully, we were finally back on the road.
Walking on the flat road, I could already see the highway hotel where Lao Zhai stayed in the distance, and his van was parked in front of the hotel.
I pointed to the sign of the inn and said to the old man, "That's it, it's almost there." ”
The old man hadn't slept for a few days, and he was as irritable as I was, but he nodded respectfully.
As I was about to reach the door of the inn, I suddenly thought of something, so I turned around and asked the old man behind me, "Where has the Hidden Elder gone?" ”
He didn't even think about it, so he replied to me: "I was ...... by Zhao Dekai."
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly realize that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and immediately covered his mouth.
Just a few words he blurted out, it could already be proved that the disappearance of the Hidden Elder was related to Zhao Dekai, and since he knew about it, it showed that he was also very likely to be an accomplice.
I stared into his eyes and said, "Things have come to this point, and there's nothing more that can't be said." ”
He thought for a moment when he heard me, then he said "eh" and nodded.
I asked him, "Is the Hidden Elder still alive?" ”
He nodded: "Live well, Zhao Dekai doesn't dare to touch him even if he has the courage." ”
Originally, I wanted to ask where the Hidden Elder was now, but at this moment, I heard hurried footsteps from the other side of the door. I came back to my senses and looked at the wooden door, which had become very dilapidated by the wind and sun of the years.
A moment later, with a long sound of "squeak-", the wooden door was pushed open, and then Liang Houzai and they rushed out, and I found that Yan Xiaotian was also there.
Liang Houzai smiled when he saw me: "I said that you will definitely be able to come out, I have been waiting for several days, and I heard you talking outside the door just now......"
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Xiaotian suddenly exclaimed, "Third Elder? ”
After saying that, he walked towards the old man behind me, and Xian'er and Luo Fei walked towards me, as if to say something.
I hurriedly waved my hand at them: "If there is anything to say when I wake up, I can't do it, I haven't closed my eyes for several days." Where's the room? ”
Lao Zhai, who was standing behind Liang Houzai, said to me: "Turn left when you enter the door, and the first room on the right hand side." ”
I nodded, didn't say a word of nonsense, and walked directly to the room that Lao Zhai said.
In this kind of road inn, there are always many beds in a room, although the condition is a little worse, but fortunately the shop is very clean, every bed is covered with white sheets, as soon as I see such sheets and pillows, I can no longer suppress the sleepiness, I find a random bed and lie on it.
