Chapter 425: Endless
Like the man in black who ran away and was rescued by an old monk, even Xia Lingling knew about it, Lao Xia, as the head of the Xia family, didn't know it for a reason.
When Lao Xia learned about this, there was nothing in the first place, in fact, even if the man in black was caught, he would be a dead man, because he had already given an order to Qingfeng Wei.
And it doesn't matter if you escape now, the effect achieved is almost the same, as long as it is before the specified time, the boss can't hand over the second person, and the military order should be honored.
But it wasn't until later, when someone told him that the man in black had escaped not on his own, but had been rescued, that he began to realize that something was wrong.
But at first, he only thought that the power of the Pingding King began to fight back, and at the same time wondered that the little man in black was really so important under the hands of the Pingding King?
It was worth the other party's great efforts, and he did not hesitate to enter Hongguang City to rescue the man in black.
Because this matter is not operated properly, it is very likely that people will not be rescued, and a group of living forces will be wasted.
On the contrary, it was a matter of more than worth the loss, so he didn't seem to pay much attention to it at first.
Since he was rescued, it caused Lao Xia to think deeply, guessing that this man in black might still have an extremely important mission or secret, and Xin Hao Qingfeng Wei had not yet succeeded in carrying out the order.
It's a pity that such an important person dies like this.
But it didn't take too long, and when his subordinates reported to him, in fact, the specific situation was the news from the Qingfeng guards who were present at the time.
After all, Qingfeng Wei was an organization that only listened to the Ling family, and he sent the specific news back as soon as possible, including their speculation.
When Lao Xia knew that the man in black was rescued by an old monk, he realized that some of them were tired.
The old monk's methods are still very distinct and distinctive, and the people who can have such means are none other than Buddhism and Little Lotus Mountain.
And the Buddhist gate does not say that the mountain gate has just been rebuilt, and it is impossible to travel thousands of miles to come here to the southwest Hongguang to wade in this troubled water.
The psychedelic method of the human heart, which focuses on the spiritual level of attack, should not be the martial arts of Buddhism.
In this way, there is only one possibility left.
For this point of vision, Qingfeng Wei still has it, and after reporting his speculation and the situation at the time.
It immediately attracted the attention of the authorities and quickly reported it to the head of the family.
This matter is very important, and it is very likely to involve the reopening of the mountain gate of Little Lotus Mountain.
Nowadays, everyone looks at the world, and there are several major anti-king and anti-thief forces, which one does not have the support of the gate faction, whether it is the Jianque Villa in Ganji, or the Buddhism near King's Landing, etc.
According to reliable sources, the Pingding King also has dealings with Ziwei Mountain, and it is very likely that the Chu Mountain Lord, who ranks second among the top ten masters in the rivers and lakes, is secretly supporting.
And within their Xiling Xia family's sphere of influence, except for an Iron Mountain Gang, there is no big faction, even this Iron Mountain Gang has had some suspicions with them before.
After so long, the two sides have reconciled, but it is not close.
If it weren't for the fact that all the time it has been supported by the Xia family's heritage and cultivated masters, where would it be the current situation.
It is precisely because of this that he is deeply aware of the shortcomings of the Xia family and the problems he is about to face, so he will think of pulling the three princes and other forces in Ganji into the gang.
To muddy the waters even more, but also to invisibly weaken the power of those anti-kings.
The rebellion has never been achieved overnight, looking through the historical data, whenever the world is in turmoil and the heroes rise together, in addition to fighting with the imperial court, the rest of the thieves are opponents, and the dragon chair is not so easy to sit on.
His Xia family has an advantage, but it will not be so obvious, just take the suddenly rising Chai Tingshan as an opponent, it is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
In the case of such a group of heroes and tigers, and internal and external troubles, if he didn't dig out his mind and racked his brains, the thousand-year-old ship of the Xia family would have to be sunk in his hands Xia Mingguang.
Not to mention whether he can make it to the Dragon Court, he definitely won't let the ending become like this.
So in addition to pulling those people into the water, Lao Xia has been making other preparations, and at the same time, he is secretly investigating the news about the Demon Gate.
Yes, it is the Demon Gate, which was as famous as the Little Lotus Mountain Dao Sect of the Buddha Gate of Jianque Mountain Villa before the catastrophe of that year.
Local anti-thieves want to strengthen their troops and oppose the imperial court, which is indispensable for the support of masters and the provision of martial arts.
And the major sects that have been trampled by the iron hooves of the Great Wei are indispensable for the revival and restoration of the prosperity of the year, and the injection of fresh blood of genius is indispensable.
Therefore, the cooperation between the two sides is a win-win situation, he Xia Mingguang set his eyes on the demon gate, he believes that as long as he throws an olive branch, he will succeed nine times out of ten.
It was unintentional before.,It was discovered by Qingfeng Wei.,The news that the Demon Gate once appeared in a small town in the southwest province.。
Qingfengwei's status in the Xia family is not only some masters, but also an espionage and assassination team, and all the things that are not seen in light are completed by them.
However, this news is like chasing after the wind, and the slightest rumor will disappear in an instant.
The entire Qingfeng Guard, after working hard for so long, has not been able to find too much news, and can only be sure that the Demon Gate has indeed appeared, and it has not left yet.
As long as this can be determined, there is still hope, so Xia Mingguang has never given up.
Even if the Demon Gate is impermanent and is not the best partner to work with, there is no better choice now.
But now, a better option has emerged!
If it was really the one who rescued the man in black, it would mean that Little Lotus Mountain would also make a comeback.
It's a pity that the two sides who should have been friendly didn't have a good contact, and they didn't even say a few words, so the monk ran away.
Seeing such a good opportunity, just missing it like this, how can you make Xia Mingguang, the head of the family, not angry.
"Who is it?" the eldest prince was stunned, he had never seen his father like this in front of him, although he realized the seriousness of the problem, he didn't figure out what the problem was.
Could it be that the old monk still has an old relationship with his father? This is the point that the eldest prince can think of for the time being.
By this time, Lao Xia's mood had calmed down, even if he wanted his son to receive a military warrant, the two could not be confused.
After all, he was still his own son, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice with a serious face: "If nothing else, it is the first great monk of the Little Lotus Mountain Discipline Hall who survived the bloody catastrophe of the rivers and lakes back then, Yuanjue. ”
"It's actually Zen Master Yuanjue?" the boss Xia Ming shouted in shock, until he saw his father order, and still couldn't come back to his senses.
On the entire Little Lotus Mountain, except for the little monk who was smiling all day long, it was this Yuanjue Zen Master's martial arts and cultivation that were the most excellent.
Maybe the eldest prince also thought about the identity of the old monk afterwards, but he never thought that the other party would be like this anyway.
"Father, can you be sure?" the eldest asked again, the news was too surprising for him.
"Eight or nine are not far from ten, even if it is not the first Yuanjue Zen master of the precept hall, it must be another great monk, and in the catastrophe back then, there were so many who survived, and you can guess who there is. Lao Xia spread his palms on the table and said.
At this point, the eldest prince finally understood why his father had reacted the way before.
Now even he wants to slap the self at that time.
Why did you take further steps when you found something wrong in front of that small restaurant?
If it was then, he would have taken the opportunity to discover the identity of the old monk, and he would not have lost anyone by now, and he was so passive, and he missed an excellent opportunity.
An opportunity to reach a cooperation with Little Lotus Mountain, such a major mistake occurred, and his feelings of regret and other emotions were no less than those of his father.
"I'm sorry father, it's the child's fault, the child will find a way to make up for it. The eldest prince stood up straight, gave a military salute and said in a deep voice.
"Make it up, how can you make it up. Lao Xia's tone had become very serious, and even he hadn't thought of a better way until now, so he could only send someone to find the traces of those two people first.
followed Lao Xia and said: "You better find your second brother first, don't forget about the military order." After that, Xia Mingguang snorted.
Since his father said this, the eldest prince did not defend himself, but just nodded and agreed, and now he is indeed lacking in skills.
No matter how important the matter of Little Lotus Mountain was, he couldn't keep it busy.
And the head of the Xia family brought the boss here, obviously not simply to ask the teacher for the sake of rejuvenation, he wanted to reveal the news to the boss in this way.
Regarding this matter, the clan elders in other families are not very reliable, and if those people are too close to Little Lotus Mountain, it may not be a good thing for him.
After all, it is his own son, although it is not his turn to be the master of the house for the time being, and the other party is really eager for quick success, but fortunately, he is still a useful person.
"Okay, just know about this, and keep an eye on it when searching your second brother's traces. After speaking, Lao Xia seemed to be a little tired and waved his hand.
On this trip, the news and what happened exceeded the expectations of the eldest prince, but they were all developing in a good direction.
Well, it's good for the time being, if you can't find any trace of the second brother in two days, it won't necessarily be a good thing.
I don't know how I got out of my father's mansion, but when I came here today, I didn't see the familiar doorman.
When the eldest prince stood on the long street, the hot weather, coupled with the conversation just now, his back was already wet with sweat.
Looking at the figures of the patrols on both sides of the long street, the detachments of patrol guards suddenly felt a little more dazed and emotional.
In fact, recently, he is probably similar to the second child, and he has suffered setbacks that he has never had before.
But soon the eldest prince adjusted his emotions, and those who wanted to achieve great things could not control their emotions.
Soon the eldest prince rushed to his original location and did not return to his house.
The map that he had looked at a few times before had already been memorized by the eldest prince, and after finding a few of his capable subordinates, he quickly gave orders.
I only heard the eldest prince say carefully: "...... For the rest of you, follow me to the Old Ancestral Garden. ”
After speaking, the eldest prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and the search has been carried out to this extent, in fact, all the places have been searched, and there are only a few clan elders and his father's place left.
The eldest prince believes that the clan elder will not do such a thing, no matter how bold a person is, how to befriend the second prince, he will not dare to go against the interests of the entire family at this time.
In the past, the clan elder and the second son were friends, but it was just a community of interests, and now at this time, where will they care about the life and death of the second son.
As far as he dared to say in the summer, as long as the second child dared to take refuge in any clan elder, he would inevitably be handed over by the other party himself.
Now that these places have been eliminated, now only the one that has been neglected remains.
The group of people, including the eldest prince himself, quickly came to the side of the long street outside the old ancestral gate.
Previously, due to the reason for the round-up of the man in black, under such a strict state of affairs, he directly ignored the old ancestral court hidden in the middle.
It was precisely because of the old ancestral court that he didn't think at the first time that the second child would dare to break ground in this place.
At this moment, the more the eldest prince thinks about it, the more he feels that this place is the most likely Tibetan.
"Search for me, don't let go of every corner, if something happens, I'll be responsible for it alone. The boss raised his hand and waved it down, and said loudly.
......
In the deep darkness of the corridor, there was a sound of clattering footsteps, the footsteps were so soft that they could probably distinguish a man and a woman, and the speed was getting slower and slower until it stopped completely.
"Didn't you notice something wrong?" Pei Jiao turned his head to look at Liu Yuan's eyes and said, "Just before, we could vaguely hear the movement in front of us, but it didn't make sense, and then the speed became faster and faster, but there was not even a little wind." ”
"yes, I just noticed, and it doesn't stop. Liu Yuan said softly: "Obviously, the black-robed man hid in a fork in the middle of the road. ”
"But where is the specific, if we want to find the past little by little, it will not be easy. Liu Yuan had worry on his face.
In this dark and narrow corridor, he was a little depressed.
Pei Jiao looked around, and said in a crisp voice: "Don't worry, take your time." ”
After that, the two of them walked back the way they came.
As Pei Jiao said, check it up little by little.
At first, it was slow, but then it got faster and faster.
It wasn't until he had walked half the way and still hadn't found it that Liu Yuan frowned, and he found that the situation was not optimistic.
After all this time, the man may have left in the other direction.
And the two of them have always been here under the yellow sand, Liu Yuan always felt that it was not a matter in his heart.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind, Liu Yuan heard an extremely slight soft sound, and a secret door on the left opened, revealing a dark piece inside, like a giant beast devouring people.
