Chapter 44: Who is the third man?
I looked the old monkey up and down a few times, and when my eyes fell on the other party's hand, I dared to conclude that the other party was also the descendant of the empty door.
The old monkey let me into a clean cell, and immediately gestured to me to meet the disciples of the empty door.
I folded my hands behind my back and said, "Brother, I can't understand your gesture!" ”
The old monkey's face was slightly gloomy, and a person behind him said in a cold voice: "Friend, this is not interesting, we will save you from the bald hands, but we don't want to listen to your push." ”
I also know that now is the best time to reveal the identity of the disciple of the empty gate.
However, any sect and gang in the rivers and lakes has its own special contact gestures, and my status in the gang is too low, and I don't know how to intersect when a leader meets?
I hesitated for a moment before I picked up my right thumb and put it on my left shoulder, and with my left hand I held three fingers on the back of my right hand, and looked up at the old monkey. The other party's eyes shrank suddenly, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Empty Gate Er Xuanzi Disciple, Hou Xuanhe to meet Uncle Ancestor." ”
This gesture, which I learned from the empty door cheats, means: "Meet the juniors." "That is to say, no matter what age the old monkey is, he has to call my ancestor when he sees me.
When the old monkey knelt, all the people behind him were dumbfounded, and after a while, they all knelt down.
I imitated the Nine Princes and said, "Get up!" ”
The old monkey hurriedly got up and brought me a futon: "Uncle Shi, please take a seat." ”
Without waiting for the old monkey to speak, I preemptively asked, "How can you recognize my identity?" ”
The old monkey waved his hand behind him, and all the people in the cell retreated, guarding the sides of the cell and blocking the corridor.
The old monkey said in a low voice: "I recognized the golden jade finger, and my master told me that the person who can use the golden jade finger is the authentic descendant of Kongmen'er." No matter who sees it, you have to honor your seniors. ”
The old monkey looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Shi is here for that thing in prison?" ”
"How do you know?" My surprise was half true and half false.
I had already guessed that Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes had put me in prison, and it must have something to do with the Qimen fragments of Xinggu City. It's just that I didn't expect anyone in prison to know this secret.
The old monkey smiled: "Just with these rotten garlic in the ancient city, they are not worthy of competing with the top people in the empty door!" Uncle Shi, he must have come in on purpose. But ......"
The old monkey said tentatively: "That thing in prison, it's not easy to take!" Shi Shuzu is afraid that he will come alone...... I'm afraid I can't handle it! ”
I smiled: "I can't, don't I still have you?" ”
The old monkey laughed: "Uncle Shi is really from an extraordinary background, and his words are not leaky. My old monkey believes you, but I also have to remind Uncle Shi that there is more than one person in this prison who is staring at that thing. It's not easy to get him out. ”
I finally understood the layout of Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes.
In fact, the Nine Princes had already reminded me that Jiang Leyou kept killing people in Xinggu City to create ghosts and gods in order to enter the secret realm and seize the remnants of Qimen.
This shows that the fragments of Qimen are hidden in a place where he wants to enter but can't.
This prison is supposed to be a forbidden place for the remnants of the seal.
Ye Sanqi and Nine Princes deliberately sent me to prison, but they were actually fighting with Jiang Leyou.
Jiang Leyou has already taken control of the places in Xinggu City except for the prison, and he can change his face at any time, so it is very difficult for us to dig Jiang Leyou out.
Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes should have been counted in the position of the Qimen fragments, and they wanted to force Jiang Leyou out to fight them through the fragments.
As for why Ye Sanqi didn't tell me the whole plan, it was because of the problem of the Qimen secret technique itself.
There is a very strange phenomenon in the method of estimating the secret art of Qimen, that is, "it can be calculated but cannot be said".
Once the things that Qimen calculated, once they are said, they will definitely change in some way, and then they will be found back in another way. Moreover, it is impossible to extrapolate.
Ye Sanqi told me: The ability of the Heavenly Dao to correct errors is extremely terrifying, what is destined to happen in the fate will definitely appear, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can only let it be postponed, but you can't stop it.
The calamity of fate is the test given by the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao will not allow anyone to cheat.
The same is probably true of the Qimen fragments, when the Qimen disciples calculate the location of the fragments, his calamity will begin.
Therefore, if Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes tell me all the things they have calculated, I will still come to the prison, but the things in the prison will definitely be reborn and I can't deal with it. That would make it harder for me to get out of prison.
I looked at the old monkey and said, "Who are the people in prison who are looking at that thing?" How did they know that it was hidden in prison? ”
The old monkey said: "At present, there are only two groups of people Gu Ye and Ma Biao. Gu Ye was born as a thief and did the work underneath. Ma Biao was a bandit before he came in, but I heard that he had learned the art of aversion to victory, and anyone who dared to oppose him would die. ”
"These two people have been in for a long time, but they haven't been successful."
I looked at the old monkey and said, "Can you be an equal to the two of them?" ”
The old monkey smiled embarrassedly: "How can I have that ability?" In front of the two of them, I had to hold my fart. ”
I said in a deep voice, "Then there is a third person, the one who can compete with them, you don't know who that person is?" ”
"I don't know!" The old monkey said: "In the whole prison, the two of them are playing against each other, and there is no third person who can be equal to them." ”
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows slightly: the third person is hiding deep enough!
If there were only two groups of people in the prison staring at the secret burial, they should have decided the winner a long time ago. Only when the three of them restrain each other can they form some kind of balance, so that no one dares to act rashly.
Who is this third person?
Will it be Jiang Leyou?
I stood up and walked around the cell a few times and said, "How do you know there's something hidden in the prison?" ”
The old monkey said: "This matter has to start from more than ten years ago. A strange thing once happened in the ancient city of Xing. ”
On that day, I don't know why a line of clouds suddenly appeared on the ancient city of Xing. According to common sense, a line of clouds should be a straight line from the sky, but the clouds seem to form a circle, putting the ancient city of Xingcheng in the middle. Moreover, it will not be dispersed for a few days.
At that time, no one in Xinggu City took that line of clouds as a thing, only there was a blind fortune teller in the city, who told people everywhere like crazy: It was the siege of the white dragon, a great omen, and Xinggu City was about to have an accident.
At that time, no one in the entire Xinggu City believed in the White Dragon Siege, and they all thought that the blind man was crazy.
