Chapter 445: The Secret of the Holy Gate
What happened just now is too strange, unless they are completely insane, no matter how murderous the person is rescued, it is impossible to fight back without saying a word, the only explanation is that the bearded man is worried that Qin Yun knows their secret, so he wants to kill people.
What's their secret? The answer is definitely in this man in gray!
He stepped forward and gently turned the other party over, and a pungent foul smell suddenly rushed towards him, making people sick!
The man in gray looked like he was in his forties, with an ordinary face, a thin face, chapped lips and bloodless face, and he fell into a coma with his eyes tightly closed, but he still had breath to prove that he was not dead.
His face, hands, and body were covered with large and small wounds, some of which were not scarred, and some of which were even rotting and suppurating, as if they had been subjected to extremely cruel torture.
But even so, his hands and feet were firmly locked in heavy chains.
At such a scene, Qin Yun suddenly felt a trace of pity in his heart, took out the gourd from the Qiankun space, and helped him feed him a few mouthfuls of water.
Although the man in gray was in a coma, his basic consciousness was still there, and he instinctively swallowed after the entrance of the clear water.
After a moment, he groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
When he knew Qin Yun's appearance, he was obviously stunned: "Who are you?"
His voice was hoarse and ugly, and Qin Yun smiled faintly and said, "I'm a passerby, you were arrested by them?"
Qin Yun pointed to the corpse of the bearded man not far away, and the gray-clothed man struggled to straighten up to the dead corpses scattered around. There was a complicated look on his face: "You saved me"
Qin Yun shook his head and said, "To be precise, I saved them. As a result, they wanted to kill me, so I had to kill them, saving you just by the way. β
"Hahaha!" the man in gray hissed and laughed, "Good kill, these inhuman beasts deserve to die!"
He obviously hated the bearded man and the others to the extreme, so he smiled extremely happily.
Qin Yun could understand his mood, and after waiting for the other party's emotions to vent, he said, "Don't move"
Bite!
The Angry Cang Sword slashed down on the iron chain, but to Qin Yun's surprise, the sword blade and the chain body collided with dazzling sparks. Only shallow traces were left on it.
You must know that the Nucang Sword belongs to the high-grade spirit sword, and it is easy to sharpen the iron like mud, but it can't even cut this iron chain.
The gray-clothed man coughed a few times and said, "Little brother, this chain is made of meteoric iron, and the key to unlock it should be on his body, can you please find it?"
He was referring to the bearded man who committed suicide.
Qin Yun originally wanted to urge the Innate True Evil to be broken, but since he had the key, he wouldn't waste his strength. Turning around and searching the bearded man, he finally found an iron key in the compartment of his belt.
Relying on this key, Qin Yun untied the shackles on the man in gray.
When the heavy iron chain broke away from his body, the man in gray showed a relieved expression, he stretched out his hands and groped for a moment in his abdomen, and suddenly gritted his teeth and snorted.
Three blood-stained golden needles were sandwiched between his fingers!
Qin Yun's gaze froze: "Golden needle lock vein?"
The Golden Needle Lock Vein is a means used to seal the power of a martial artist's Qi Refiner. Use the golden needle to pierce into the acupuncture points of the dantian part, so that the true qi yuan power of the martial artist refiner cannot be used and become a waste.
Qin Yun was surprised that the gray-clothed man was still shackled by a meteorite iron when he was locked by a golden needle, which shows that the bearded man attaches great importance and care to him, so who is he?
The man in gray seemed to have Qin Yun's doubts. He took a few breaths and sat cross-legged, bowed to Qin Yun and said, "Thank you, little brother, for your help." Under Murong Qing, I don't know what the little brother is called?"
Qin Yun returned the salute and said, "Under Qin Yun!"
When people only say three points, don't throw away all your hearts!
The rivers and lakes are sinister, although Qin Yun is kind-natured, he also knows the indispensable truth of guarding against others, although it is said that this Murong Qing has just been rescued by him, but just now the bearded man and others are the best lesson, so he will not say anything without knowing the details of the other party.
"It turned out to be Qin Yun Xiaoyou, can you hand him over to me?" Murong Qing said as he pointed at the bearded man.
Qin Yun was very inexplicable, what did he want a corpse for?
However, Qin Yun faintly felt that the other party was very unusual, so he didn't refuse, and dragged the body of the bearded man over and threw it next to him.
Murong Qing searched the body of the bearded man again, but he searched much more carefully than Qin Yun, even his hair and boots were not spared, and finally showed a happy smile.
"Little brother, you saved my life, I have nothing to repay" Murong Qing said to Qin Yun: "This thing is given to you, I hope you don't refuse." β
He handed Qin Yun a small metal cylinder, apparently from the bearded man's body, less than four inches long and about the thickness of a thumb, and the surface was engraved with fine ornamentation, which was very delicate.
Qin Yun didn't take it immediately, but felt very curious: "What is this?"
"It's one, one, ahem!"
Murong Qing coughed violently, and he was in great pain, and his whole body was about to curl up, coughing so much that blood was overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to.
"Don't be in a hurry!"
Seeing this, Qin Yun hurriedly handed over the gourd in his hand, and at the same time took out a bottle of healing pill and handed it to the other party: "You take two pills first, it should be helpful to your injury." β
Murong Qing was not polite, poured two pills and swallowed them into his abdomen, poured a few more mouthfuls of water, and his breath returned to normal: "Thank you, little brother, your healing pill is very good, it should be from the hands of the children of famous families, right?"
Qin Yun was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't imagine that this Murong Qing was really hidden, and he could actually come out of the pill he was taking, but this eyesight was definitely not something that ordinary people could have.
For Qin Yun's surprise, Murong Qing was a little proud: "Don't be surprised, because I am a qi refiner, and I have a lot of experience in the Dan Dao, your healing pill has a mellow appearance with danze, the materials are of high quality, and the medicinal power is strong, and the refining technique is by no means something that people in the small sect can have." β
Qin Yun admired: "Your Excellency is clever!"
Murong Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it were really clever, it wouldn't have fallen into the hands of these villains, little brother, have you heard of the Holy Gate?"
Sure enough, it's the Holy Gate!
Qin Yun was suddenly solemn: "I have heard it a few times, just now this person also claimed to be a member of the Holy Gate before he died, does Your Excellency know what kind of sect power the Holy Gate is?"
Murong Qing took a deep breath, he put away the metal cylinder first, and said slowly: "This is a long story, don't hide it from the little brother, in fact, I am also a member of the Holy Gate, and I am the worship of the Holy Gate Heavenly Power Helm!"
The Holy Gate of Heaven is dedicated to the deacon!
Qin Yun couldn't help but be surprised, he never thought that the person he saved was also from the Holy Gate, and it sounded like a figure of considerable status.
A wry smile appeared on Murong Qing's thin face: "I'm surprised, right? Actually, I have long wanted to break away from the Holy Gate, and I almost succeeded, but I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, if I wasn't saved by you, I'm afraid I will never see the light of day in the future, and I will live a life that is worse than death." β
The Holy Gate is an extremely ancient hidden sect, and its origin can be traced back to the ancient barbaric era, which was once extremely powerful in ancient times, and often crushed the various sects and rampant in Kyushu.
However, as the so-called prosperity and decline, thousands of years ago, the Holy Gate suddenly changed, internal divisions and cannibalism, coupled with the attacks of various major sects, which eventually led to a great loss of vitality, and had to rein in the edge and retreat.
After thousands of years of baptism, the name of the Holy Gate has long disappeared from people's memory, but this does not mean that it has really disappeared, but it has been hidden in the shadows and quietly developed.
Although Murong Qing is a deacon, he also can't tell how huge the strength of the Holy Gate is now, he only knows that the Holy Gate has seven rudders, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang, which correspond to the seven major states in the vast Kyushu except for Daying and Xiaoyingzhou.
There is a hall under the helm of the Holy Gate, and there are clear hierarchies of helmsmen, elders, hall masters, worshippers, deacons, and disciples, but no matter what level of the Holy Gate people have the identity of cover, they may be local noble merchants, or peddlers and pawns, or even disciples of famous families.
And the master of the seven rudders is the Holy Gate Ethereal Peak, which represents the supreme existence of the Holy Gate, is the place where the Lord of the Holy Gate gives orders, and there are many Holy Sons and Holy Maidens under its seat.
But even Murong Qing didn't know where the Ethereal Peak was.
But through his narration, the veil of mystery shrouded in the Holy Gate gradually opened up to Qin Yun, allowing him to have the most preliminary understanding of the Holy Gate, instead of being as ignorant as before.
"If the Holy Lord has any important orders, he will send the Holy Son or the Holy Maiden as a holy envoy to the rudder, and then the rudder will convey it to the various halls. Murong Qing said, "I have joined the Holy Gate for twenty years, and I have not met the Holy Envoy more than ten times. β
Qin Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Then the Holy Gate has developed such a huge force, what are their intentions, and why did you join the Holy Gate in the first place?"
Murong Qing sighed and said, "I don't know what their intentions are, I believe that even the various sects in Kyushu will not be very clear, but I know that whether it is the ten major sects or the side sects, there are disciples of the Holy Gate in them." β
"This is also very clear to the various sects, and they have been trying to eliminate it, the secret war between the Holy Gate and the various sects has been going on for hundreds of years, but ordinary people don't know or understand it. β
"I serve as an enshriner in the Heavenly Power Branch of the Holy Gate, in addition to refining the elixir, I am also responsible for finding disciples for the Holy Gate, looking for young men and women with excellent qualifications and talents, and sending them to the Ethereal Peak after selection!"
