The Gate of Heaven Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Gate in Shu
"See? That's Tangmen! ”
Where Lin Xi pointed out, on the cliff, was the Tang Gate, which was known as the first gate in the world by the people in the martial arts.
Completely different from ordinary sects that are not very ostentatious, the Tang Sect occupies a wide area, has many houses, and has many disciples, all of which are not comparable to ordinary martial arts sects.
In order to escape the war, a group of people surnamed Li moved to the deep mountains of Sichuan and Shu, changed the surname Li to the surname Tang, took in a large number of homeless people who were homeless due to the war, reclaimed wasteland, built houses, and formed the predecessor of Tangmen.
And now, although the people no longer need to be disturbed by the war, the Tang Sect still has thousands of disciples, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
"This ...... How do I get in? Don't you want to fly over? ”
"Of course not, the door is in the back." Tang Yao walked in front and led everyone to find the gate.
However, Lu Hongzhao's arrival made it easier to infiltrate the Tang Sect.
"What people!"
"It's me, Lu Hongzhao!"
"Sister Lu! Aren't you going to kill Lin Xi? ”
There was a big difference between the clothes of the man in front of him and the disciple next to him, and at first glance he was a hall master, or a higher level.
"Tang You, why are you guarding the door?"
Tang You spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's not sent by the master of the door, saying that in the past two days, outsiders should be strictly prevented from entering the Tang Gate." ”
"What about me? I'm also an outsider? ”
"Hey," Tang You patted Lu Hongzhao's shoulder, as if he had a good relationship with her: "Of course Sister Lu is not an outsider, you can enter at any time if you want to!" ”
"Don't worry, I'm sent by Mr. Shen to see if the goods have been transported."
"Sister Lu, just one thing, your entourage ......"
"Oh, they're all my retinue. If it weren't for the help of these many people, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to kill Lin Xi. What, do my retinues need to be checked too? ”
"That's right, it doesn't matter! If you don't check, please come in, please come in! Tang You lowered his head and politely invited everyone to enter the door.
In this way, Lu Hongzhao walked into the Tang Gate with everyone in a grand manner.
When everyone walked away, Tang Youyou looked at everyone's backs in surprise, as if he saw something.
"Fourth Hall Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Did I see Tang Xiao?"
"Five Hall Masters? No, isn't she in Beijing? ”
"You don't know, Tang Xiao and Tang Yao were also ordered by the master of the door to follow a Japanese to design to get rid of Lin Xi, but later the Japanese was seriously injured by Lin Xi, and the two sisters had no news...... Am I really mistaken? Tang You was only vaguely unsure, after all, everyone was disguised, and it was normal for him not to recognize it.
"That's it, no matter what, it doesn't matter if they come back, let's still guard our door."
Everyone quietly came to Tang Xiao's hall master's residence, which was Tang Xiao and Tang Yao's residence.
"There are very few people in my house, so you can hide here for the time being, just a little, and not make too much noise so as not to attract attention."
Tang Yao took out a scroll and put it on the table to unfold, "This is the map of the Tang Gate, and the main battlefield of the civil strife in the Tang Gate was here. Tang Yao pointed to the side of the map, "Yufeng Hall."
"It's an abandoned hall, destroyed during the civil strife, and my sister and I went there to look for clues, but we couldn't find anything."
"Later, I'll take a look here." Lin Xi nodded.
"One more thing, Miss Lu, I need your help."
"Say it."
"You said on the way that the Tang Sect is transporting a medicine called Bawang San out of the Tang Sect, I hope you will go and look for clues about this thing, and it is best to bring me some back."
“…… Okay, don't worry. ”
"Either way, keep yourself safe first. That's it, everyone else, come with me. ”
The dilapidated Yufeng Hall, crumbling in the wind, seems to tell the cruel battle of the year. It was almost afternoon, and the light was completely blocked by the candle dragon hall outside, and Lin Xi even had to rely on candles to see the details inside.
"Lin Xi! Look there! Zhou Baiyu let out a low shout, and Lin Xi ran over alertly.
Looking in the direction pointed by Zhou Baiyu, it turned out to be a tablet and an incense burner. It's hidden behind a flag, and if you don't look closely, you can't really see it.
Lin Xi walked over quietly, the tablet was very old, but there was no trace of dust, obviously someone took care of it every day.
Lin Xi twisted up a pinch of incense ash and was surprised to find: "This incense ash is warm!" It seems that there must be people who come here often, and often come here to offer incense, but this ...... Why is the tablet blank, it's really strange, could it be that the person who worships is afraid of being discovered, so the name is not even written on the tablet? ”
Lin Xi summoned everyone over, "Everyone go back and wait for my news, I will squat here for a day to see who is here to burn incense and worship." ”
"No, we're going to stay here with you, it's too dangerous for you to be alone!"
"Yanshou is right, you let us all stay."
"It's okay, but Tang Xiao and Tang Yao, you two have to go back."
"Why?" Tang Yao asked.
"The sister and brother will be disturbed when they come back and can't see it."
Tang Xiao was entangled for a moment, "Okay... Then you need to be safe! ”
"Don't worry, Tang Xiao, there are so many people, and I'm not a child, I'll pay attention."
"Then I'll go......" Tang Xiao pulled Tang Yao
"Go ahead. Yuan Kui, Miss Qin, look at the door, and tell me as soon as someone comes. White feathers, upper beams! ”
When everything was ready, Lin Xi hid in the Imperial Wind Hall and waited for the night to come......
In the dilapidated Imperial Wind Hall, the cold wind blows in through the gap, like a ghost crying wolf, which will really give you goosebumps.
"Wake up, someone's coming!" Yuan Kui and Qin Ruoyan tiptoed over and shouted in a low voice.
Everyone hides behind an abandoned bookshelf, and the environment makes them nervous.
"Squeak"
A man opened the door to Mikado, and the small sound was infinitely amplified in the darkness. The man looked around vigilantly, but found nothing unusual.
I saw him walk lightly to the tablet, and respectfully lit three incense sticks and inserted them in the incense burner.
"Brother Xiaotian, brother, I'm coming to see you again. Don't be long-winded with brothers, don't know...... How are you doing over there? I found a clue, although I can't directly your innocence, but I believe that if you follow this clue, you will be able to dig out the truth! I ......"
A long sword was placed on his neck without warning, the man turned his head suddenly, and was immediately frightened to the ground, Lin Xi appeared behind him at some point.
"You...... Who are you! How did it end up here? ”
"Who are you worshipping?"
"No... There is no ......" The man blocked the tablet in a panic, as if he was subconsciously afraid that Lin Xi would know.
At this time, no one had noticed Tang Yunsui's slightly surprised expression behind him.
"If you're worshipping an ordinary person, you don't have to be so panicked. If I'm not mistaken, it should have something to do with the civil strife in the Tang Gate. ”
"You're not a disciple of the Tang Sect, who are you?!"
Tang Yunsui only felt that this person's voice was quite familiar, and he was shocked, and ran over quickly.
After a closer look, Tang Yunsui blurted out: "Tang Duan? ”
The person known as Tang Duan recovered from the shock, and the first sentence was: "How do you know my name?" ”
"I'm Tang Yunsui, Brother Duan! You're still alive! ”
Tang Duan also gradually came back to his senses, "Brother ...... I haven't heard my own name in more than a decade. You're still alive, and I'm also shocked, I thought you died fourteen years ago......"
"You know?"
"His name is Tang Duan, he is an old man of the Tang Gate, why are you still in the Tang Gate?"
"It's a long story, I'm now under the pseudonym Tang Che, and I'm just an ordinary Tang Sect disciple."
"You come with us, let's go to the place and talk about it, okay?"
“…… Who are these people? ”
"They are all trustworthy people, I'll tell you about it later."
When everyone returned to the hall master's residence, Tang Duan slowly told his experience.
"In the past fourteen years, I have been sneaking in the Tang Sect in order to find out the truth about the civil strife in the Tang Sect. I have a deep brotherly relationship with Xiaotian, and I absolutely believe in his character! I believe that he did not betray the Tang Sect, and I believe that he will not fight for the position of the master of the sect! ”
"Sir, what have you found out in the past fourteen years?"
"I suspect that the Tang Sect was not a civil strife at all, but a ......"
"And what?" Tang Xiao asked with great anticipation.
"It's a group of poisoned people who are killing each other."
"What?"
As soon as this conclusion came out, it overturned all the previous rumors, and although it was just a statement, it still shocked everyone.
"That's right, I can't find the poison that controlled them in the first place, but I smelled it the other day!"
Tang Duan suddenly closed his eyes, sniffled, and said, "In this room, there is this smell now. ”
When everyone heard this, they searched around, but Lu Hongzhao seemed to realize something, and reached out and took out a pill from his cuff.
"That's what you're talking about?"
"You're looking into this too, aren't you?"
"That's right," Lin Xi nodded, "We also need to know the truth about the civil strife in the Tang Sect. ”
"I have personally experienced the internal strife in the Tang Sect, and my nose is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, I can be sure that this smell has appeared in every disciple of the Tang Sect."
Lin Xi put the medicine in front of his nose, pumped it gently, and then handed it to everyone: "You smell it, is this smell familiar?" ”
"This is the Five Poison Powder." When Guanyin smelled it, Liu frowned and quickly covered his nose.
"This is the overlord scatter they carried away." Lu Hongzhao put the medicine away again.
"The Five Poisons are chronic poisons that control the human body's mind, if all this is true, then the civil strife in the Tang Sect fourteen years ago must be inseparable from the current Tang Sect."
Lin Xi knocked on the corner of the map, "Here, what is it?" ”
Tang Xiao looked at the map on the desktop: "That's the Shattered Star Tower, the forbidden place of the Tang Gate, and no one is allowed to enter without permission." It is said that there are many furnaces and are places where secret weapons are forged. ”
"Let's refine poison."
Tang Xiao nodded, "Hmm...... That's right. ”
"I'll try to sneak into the Shattered Star Tower, I think- there's the answer I'm looking for."
Lin Xi refused everyone and insisted on going alone.
"Too many people distract me."
