Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Man Behind the Scenes

"Are you Jingnian?" asked Gao Jin with a cautious expression.

"Poor nun is dustless, I've seen Senior Brother Gao!" The bald-headed young girl clasped her palms together and saluted everyone.

Surprisingly, the little nun in front of everyone is not called Jing Nian, but she is indeed a disciple of the sect sent by Liting'an to practice, although the sect identity card on her body has been taken away by Jingnian, but Gao Jin asked her something about Liting'an, and she can answer it fluently, temporarily avoiding suspicion.

"How did you get caught by that demon nun?" asked Gao Jin, confused.

Wanhongmen, Ruan's family, Fengmingtang and Liting'an all belong to the local sects of Fucheng, and this time they came out and agreed to gather in a nunnery in the northwest of Jiangcheng County. This nunnery is an industry belonging to the Liting Nunnery, and the nuns in the view are all ordinary people.

However, because this place is the closest to Jiangcheng County, it is regarded as a meeting place. The first meeting between Gao Jin and Jing Nian was there, so he never realized that Jing Nian was an inner ghost.

"I'm ashamed to say that the inner ghost meditation is indeed the person of the main nunnery, the presiding officer of the nunnery, who has been practicing in the nunnery for more than 30 years. Wuchen said with a bitter face, "The poor nun went earlier than the other senior brothers, and after the first one arrived at the nunnery, she told Na Jingnian the purpose of this trip, but she didn't expect her to put anesthetic medicine in the tea......

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, no wonder Jing Nian was able to blend into their team, this was a bit too coincidental, right?

"You said that Jing Nian has been practicing in the nunnery for more than thirty years?" Xuan Ji frowned and muttered, "Could it be that she has something to do with the tragedy of the Xiao family more than thirty years ago?"

"It's possible!" Gao Jin suddenly realized, and only in this way could he explain the act of meditation.

"That delicate Jing Nian is actually an old woman?" Ruan Wen's face turned pale when he heard this, and he felt a little disgusted again.

"After you were kidnapped here by Jing Nian, did you see her accomplices?" Gao Jin hurriedly asked when he saw that the topic of everyone's attention began to deviate.

"Yes, it was a young Confucian student, and his body was smeared with a strong smell of fragrant powder. But......" Wuchen thought for a while, and suddenly pointed to Bai Ya and said, "His face is a bit like this senior brother......"

Bai Ya was stunned, a bit like his brother, what does this mean?

"You mean that the Confucian student wore a human skin~ mask?" Xuan Ji's eyes flashed, but he already understood Wuchen's statement.

Everyone glanced at Baiya, and suddenly suddenly, the quality of the human skin ~ Isn't the mask similar to facial paralysis?

"Hmph, wearing a human skin~ mask, and smearing incense powder on his body, it is really the style of the Witch Corpse Gate!" Gao Jin snorted coldly, "You are still inexperienced in the rivers and lakes, and most of the sects like the Witch Corpse Sect refine corpses and raise Gu, and most of them have a peculiar smell, and they usually do some ulterior deeds, so they will use incense powder and human skin~ masks to cover people's eyes." ”

Xuan Ji frowned slightly, Gao Jin's opinion, he only agreed with half of it. The demon in this place may be related to the Witch Corpse Gate, but he may not be a disciple of the Witch Corpse Gate. After this evil sect moved to Yizhou, it did not dare to make much action for hundreds of years, because it was afraid that the local sect would find an excuse to exterminate them.

Moreover, the incident here involves the entire secular town, and at the foot of Qingcheng, he is simply looking for death. It is precisely because of this that the high-level leaders of the four major sects of Qingcheng and Fucheng made a wrong judgment, thinking that there were only a few ghosts in this place.

"Anyway, let's explore this place first!" Xuan Ji cautiously suggested.

"Senior brother, now that Wuchen and Ruan Wen have been recovered, why don't you quit first?" Bai Ya was shocked, could it be that these people would be reckless?

"We just tried it once, and there were dozens of tons of gravel and gravel on it. This place is full of adobe walls, and if it collapses again, it will really be buried alive. Gao Jin spread his hands helplessly.

Everyone was speechless, and they fell into other people's calculations again and again, and they couldn't help but be a little annoyed in their hearts.

It's just that Bai Ya's heart is extremely strange, that person can calculate them three or four times, it is obvious that he is a person with a deep city, but it can only be said that he is stupid to do this kind of thing at the foot of Qingcheng.

Even if he gets lucky this time and kills everyone in one go. When Qingcheng comes back, he must be a master of Liu Yu's level, and he will still be wiped out.

He had a faint idea in his mind, the black hand here was only afraid that he knew very little about the affairs of the Immortal Martial Sect like him before, and he should have obtained the corpse refining martial arts by accident, so he would make this seemingly smart, but actually stupid arrangement.

However, this speculation did not help their current situation, and Bai Ya did not say anything more, and followed everyone closely.

"Senior Brother Bai, have you seen my brother Ruan Yan?" Ruan Yan, who was saved, was a little relieved at this time, and leaned over to Bai Ya's side and asked softly.

Bai Ya looked at the pale Sven boy, and felt a little sympathetic in his heart.

Ruan Yan did die unjustly, because Bai Ya didn't dare to touch Ruan Yan who had changed his corpse at that time, so the body was also burned in the fire.

"Senior Brother Ruan's Day mourns...... Blame me for not handling it properly at the time!" Bai Ya immediately recounted Ruan Yan's matter softly.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's all the devil's fault!" Ruan Wen said with red eyes and gritted teeth.

Seeing him sad, Bai Ya didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only give the yellow-shirted girl next to him a look.

Han Man rolled her eyes helplessly, but she owed Bai Ya a lot of favors, and now she had to come over to act as an angel in yellow to persuade Ruan Wen.

"Hey, this place seems to be a Yin Gathering Array?!" Everyone walked in the pit below for a while, and Wuchen suddenly frowned and stopped Gao Jin, the leader.

"Do you know the formation?" Bai Ya asked curiously.

"Well, the poor nun is majoring in talismans and formations in the nunnery. The little nun said a little shyly, "Among the disciples gathered by the four major sects this time, the poor nun is responsible for warding off evil spirits. ”

Bai Ya suddenly realized, it turned out that this little nun was the main force of the four major sects to deal with ghosts, and the others were auxiliary. This is also a coincidence, if Jing Nian hadn't put Wuchen down at the beginning, I'm afraid that her little tricks wouldn't work.

"Gathering Yin Array?" Xuan Ji and Gao Jin glanced at each other, and Xuan Ji said with a deep groan, "This Gathering Yin Array is so poorly arranged, but it doesn't look like the technique of the Witch Corpse Gate!"

"No wonder this place is a little cold, Dustless Senior Sister may find the center of the magic circle?" Gao Jin asked solemnly.

The Yin Gathering Array is just a magic circle that gathers Yin Qi, but it has no lethality, Gao Jin and Xuan Ji are not worried about anything, now they just want to solve this matter as soon as possible, no matter how bad it is, they have to bring these junior brothers and sisters back to the ground.

"It can be, but it will take some time for the poor nun's magic weapon array to be taken away by the female thief of Jing Nian. The little nun also gritted her teeth when she talked about meditation. It's just that she usually refrains a lot, and the word female thief is already the biggest evil word.

"It's okay, I'll test it while we go!" Xuan Ji and Gao Jin finally showed a hint of joy on their faces.

As they walked farther and farther in the tunnel, Wuchen slowly grasped the veins of this Yin Gathering Array, and everyone began to move towards the center of the circle, no longer scurrying like headless flies.

Bai Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and now it seems that there is indeed a set of black hands hidden in the Xiao family's old mansion.

Jing Nian blended into the ranks of the sect's martial artists, although it was a coincidence, but the other party's arrangement was very insidious. first killed Pei Yan and Ruan Yan, and then controlled Han Man and Ruan Wen, if it weren't for the fact that Bai Ya burned the trick, Xuan Ji and Gao Jin would have suffered losses if they didn't do it well.

After these methods failed, he used Ruan Wen and Wuchen to lure them into the underground Yin Gathering Array. Fortunately, the dustless formation~ has a solid foundation, otherwise after a few days in the underground palace, they will exhaust their physical strength, and maybe the whole army will be wiped out.

"Senior brothers, be careful, there should be the center of the Yin Gathering Array ahead, if the poor nun is not bad, there must be a passage to the ground. After about half an hour, Wuchen's eyes finally lit up and said excitedly.

Everyone was also refreshed when they heard this, and they all quickened their pace. Bypassing a tunnel again, everyone came to an underground hall with a bright light in front of them

Looking at this hall, everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

The place is arranged in the shape of a mourning hall, surrounded by earthen pillars hung with many paper lanterns, flanked by paper figures, and four pear wood coffins are displayed side by side in the lobby.

The most bizarre thing is the laying platform at the rear, and there are a man and two women kneeling under the big laying words. Because all three of them had their backs to them, they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Senior Brother Gao, look!" Han was full of sharp eyes, and lowered his voice to point to the left side of the platform.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, they found that there was an upward earth staircase on the opposite side, which should be the road to the ground.

"Well, I see! Speak quietly, there may be living corpses among these coffins!" Gao Jin reminded everyone, and walked around the earthen wall of the hall towards the earthen steps.

"There are friends from afar, and I am very happy!" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the mourning hall, and four figures, three large and one small, suddenly appeared at the door of the earth steps, blocking everyone's way.

By the light of the paper lanterns, everyone saw the appearance of the four people, three of the adults were a man and two women, and the remaining one was actually a four or five-year-old child~child.

Among the two men, the woman on the left looks as delicate as a girl, wearing a monk's robe and a big bald head. The man in the middle was a young Confucian in the mouth of the little nun Wuchen, and he was the one who spoke just now.

Everyone looked at his skin carefully, and sure enough, they found that the flesh was not moving, as if he was wearing a human skin ~ mask. The woman and the young ~ child at the end surprised everyone, because these were not two living people at all.

The woman looked like a young woman, with a beautiful face, but her expression was blank, her eyes were all white, and her complexion had a hint of bronze, which shimmered with metallic luster in the candlelight, and it was actually a bronze corpse.

And the young ~ child she was holding in her right hand was black all over, and his facial features were rotten, and he was an iron corpse.

"You are guests from afar, why do you have to leave in a hurry, don't you blame Peng for not greeting him well?" said the young Confucian in a hoarse voice, his voice was like a mixture of gold and iron, which made people listen to it very uncomfortable.

"Who are you?" asked Xuan Ji in a deep voice.

"Why should the guests be in a hurry, Rong Peng will introduce the family members, this is Shen Ying, the inner son, ......" The young Confucian said lightly without hurrying or slowing.

It's just that the inner child he was referring to was not the living person next to him, but the bronze corpse young woman, which made everyone surprised.

"Husband's !!" was just his introduction, which immediately attracted Jing Nian's dissatisfaction, and the nun looked at Confucius with a frosty face.

"Hehe, after so many years, can't you still let go?" The young Confucian seemed to be unconscious, and said with a light smile, "Although you and I are Taoist couples, in my heart, my wife will always be the only one." ”

Turning his head, the young Confucian said to everyone again, "Don't blame you, my family has a complicated relationship, let me talk slowly!"

PS: Two more will be resumed tomorrow!
