Chapter 2: The weak eat the strong and the wild fire burns the body
Although Xiaoshang and Xu Guzi had told Sun Wu in advance that disillusionment was the beginning of growth, and the inside information gained from eavesdropping on other people's conversations could easily make people feel disillusioned, Sun Wu still could not imagine that he would eavesdrop on such a big inside story.
.
Yu Baohan had a secret conversation with the envoy of Wanzilou. Although the envoy of Wanzilou is a man, this kind of thing is a bit strange, but with such a huge organization as Wanzilou, it is natural that there are male members in it, so there is no need to make a fuss.
The focus remains on what they are talking about.
Sun Wu originally thought that he would hear them discussing Wanzilou's activities. After all, China is currently at war. As a comrade in the alliance, Wanzilou supports each other and should be very busy. Even if some important military information does not need to be judged by a feather hairpin, at least
We must also report to her. The messenger is here to convey this information.
Sun Wu was also very concerned about the situation in Middle-earth, which was one of the reasons why he was not too opposed to the eavesdropping operation. However, he never expected that the first sentence he heard made him stunned.
"...You'd better make it clear that since you are a member of the Demon Sect, there is no possibility of disobeying orders. This extraterritorial operation, no matter what you think, you must obey!"
If he heard this sentence elsewhere, Sun Wu would be shocked and would only feel that he was inadvertently involved in a big conspiracy. The demon sect in Middle-earth that had disappeared for many years actually showed its presence here, and he was so lucky that he was not dead.
I happened to hear it, but after all, I am not the kind of passionate knight who would not want to destroy those monsters and monsters as soon as I heard the word "Demon Gate", so I just pretended that I didn't hear it and everyone went their separate ways.
However, what is the current situation? Sun Wu's rationality cannot combine the facts in front of him. It is not surprising that an organization as big as the Demon Sect has many disciples, and some of them have infiltrated the top leaders of other organizations. This is not surprising.
It's reasonable, but... Yu Bao Hairpin? Wan Zilou's young master? This really makes no sense. With Yu Bao Hairpin's conditions, how could the Demon Sect absorb her? What reason does she have to join the Demon Sect?
"Could it be that... this Yu Bao Hairpin is not actually the real Yu Bao Hairpin, she is a spy replaced by the Demon Sect in disguise. The real Yu Bao Hairpin has been replaced or killed long ago? Uh,
Is it too ridiculous for me to think like this? It seems like a novel, there is no sense of reality..."
The thoughts that came to Sun Wu's mind were extremely absurd even to him, but other than these explanations, there seemed to be nothing that could rationalize the situation at hand.
"Sure enough, eavesdropping is the beginning of disillusionment. These things really shouldn't be listened to..."
Sun Wu felt that he didn't know what expression to use when facing Yu Baohan. What he overheard seemed to open a taboo box, and the things released in it exceeded his load level.
It shouldn't be endured at this juncture.
However, the strange and changeable situation seemed to be beyond imagination. After Yu Baohan said these words, there was a period of silence, and then the whole atmosphere changed, although there was no sound from the eavesdropping bug.
, Yu Bao Hairpin also remained silent, but Sun Wu suddenly felt that there was a strong aura coming from Yu Bao Hairpin, and it was the kind of aura that made people feel tense and full of malice.
This breath, Sun Wu, who was in a long distance, was induced, and the messenger who came into contact with Yu Bao's face to face would only feel stronger.
"You ... what do you want to do?"
From the messenger's previous tone, he and Yu Baoyu seemed to be a kind of upper and lower relationship. There was no obvious threat in the tone.
It was a complete obedience, which made Sun Wu doubtful. However, in this situation, it seemed to have changed. Yu Baoyu seemed to have any decisions, and even the attitude was different.
"Wow ~"
A harsh scream, even if you don't need to listen to insects, you can hear it clearly. Obviously, Yu Baodi suddenly shot, and the messenger had a big loss.
"I, my hand ..."
Looking at the situation, that person hurt a arm, or it might be completely abandoned. Yu Baoyu was very heavy at this time. Following, the eavesdropping of the insects came out of the wind, and the two of them moved.
It fell in the wind, snoring in a row, without removing a few tricks, and ended the fight in a pain.
"You ... you treat me like this, don't be afraid ..."
Perhaps because of the serious injury, his tone is no longer arrogant and strong, but he is full of fear, but this change does not attract much.
"In the magic door, only Qiang is respect, this is all the iron rules. You are not as good as me. Do you have such an end?"
"If you are following, that person ... that person will definitely ..."
"I will definitely send me a prize! I am a predecessor of Mo Mao, why don't you even have this basic concept? He sent you to send a message, do you think this is reused you? Wrong, this means, I accept it, I accept it
If you have a bad mood after the letter, you can cut it to vent. "
"Hu, nonsense, how can you do this explanation? You are all nonsense."
"My explanation, believe in you or not, but at least one thing you have to believe is that you die here today, I will not have any responsibility, and no one will take revenge for you."
Yu Baozheng's tone, with a trace of pleasure in the cruelty, seemed to be happy. Sun Wuchen did not hear her speak in this tone.
What misunderstandings? Or what is the strategy of Yu Baodao?
"Boy, don't think too much, things are very simple, that chick is going to kill." Seeing Sun Wu's thoughts, Xu Guzi came up with such a sentence and clicking the truth, but this sentence attracted a cold sentence next to it.
Refutation.
"... Isn't that just this? You haven't found it, did she already know that we listened here?"
Xiao Yan's words to wake up Sun Wu, after all, Yu Baoyu is not an ordinary corner 'color', eavesdropping such a thing can't hide her for too long. Because of the discovery of secret leaks, she changed her attitude.
"But why do you find that we are listening, she will ..."
If Sun Wu's words were not finished, he heard a sound of "bombardment". Not far away, the fire rose to the sky, ignited a fire pillar, and the flame exploded, and he heard the faint misery in the sound of the flame. It seemed that someone had died.
It's.
"No! Bao girl is killed!"
"What's wrong with this? She is not usually never killed, and you have killed himself. What do you do when you see her killing?"
Sun Wu ignored the doubts of Xiaoyi, jumped up from the place lying, ran towards the place where the fire rose, and crossed several sand dunes, and saw a corpse burning in the fire.
Standing negatively beside the fire, staring at his eyes, as if waiting for his arrival.
"Miss Bao, this..."
When she opened her mouth, Sun Wu didn't know what to say. Should she ask what was going on? Or apologize for eavesdropping first? Because although Yu Baohan concealed something, the secret of the Demon Sect had nothing to do with her.
There is no need to tell myself, and I have no position to question this.
"Master Sun, you have really caused me a lot of trouble. In this troubled time, being too curious will not help you."
Yu Baohan looked at Sun Wu with a stern expression but gentle eyes. She shook her head slightly and said, "You should judge the suggestions made by Miss Xiao Shang. You shouldn't just listen to everything."
The key to the whole matter was revealed in one sentence. Yu Baohan's understanding of Sun Wu and Xiaoshang allowed her to guess the specific situation a few seconds after she realized that she was being eavesdropped. However, there was one thing that Yu Baohan really couldn't figure out.
It is impossible for Sun Wu to take the initiative to eavesdrop, it must be
Someone instigated or forced him to do it. To put it more clearly, Sun Wu would not behave like this unless he was forced to do it by Xiao Shang. But Xiao Shang... Yu Baohan couldn't understand that that girl really didn't even have any priorities.
No distinction between them? Or...
"Master Sun, do you... really want to know everything about Wanzi Tower and what you heard just now?"
Yu Baohan asked seriously. Sun Wu wanted to deny it. After all, he didn't need to know too much about other people's affairs, but then he thought about it. He had eavesdropped first. If he said now that he had no intention of knowing this, it would be too irresponsible.
.
"Yes, I want to know. If possible, please let me know too, but if Miss Bao finds it inconvenient for you..."
"Well, it's someone else's words. We must silence them now and never let the news get out. But your words...it doesn't matter. You are qualified to know this. In the end, I will let you understand sooner or later."
Yu Baohan's words made Sun Wu puzzled for a long time, and he couldn't understand what they meant. He especially couldn't figure out what he meant by saying that he was qualified.
Sun Wu showed a confused expression. Yu Bao Hairpin did not explain much. He returned to the resting place with him and met the remaining two people. Before leaving, Sun Wu saw that Yu Bao Hairpin was not buried.
The intention of the corpse was to push the yellow sand and bury the half-remaining charred corpse. Such a kind act fell into Yu Baohan's eyes and made her laugh dumbly.
"...This is not okay. If you encounter someone from the Demon Sect in the future, just kill them. What you are doing now will bring you trouble."
"Well... it's important for a person to die. No matter what he did during his lifetime, it would be too cruel to leave his body exposed in the wilderness. I think burying the bones of the deceased is the minimum respect for the deceased."
Sun Wu spoke seriously, but he unexpectedly elicited a question from Yu Baohan, "Oh, so in the eyes of Master Sun, I am now a woman who is both cruel and disrespectful of the dead?"
It's really hard to answer this. Admitting it directly will definitely offend people, but saying no is going against his will. Sun Wu hesitated for a moment, but Yu Baohan had already seen through his thoughts.
"Master Sun, the Demon Sect pays attention to the law of the jungle and the strong. There are many things inside that are unimaginable to the outside world. If you think that people who are about to die have a good heart and this rule applies to them, then sooner or later they will suffer a big loss. For example, the Demon Sect
The dead person is afraid of being humiliated after death, so he often hides powerful poisons or other hidden things on his body. If you get close like this, be careful of getting bitten in return."
After Yu Baohan finished speaking, an unusual fishy smell suddenly came from under the yellow sand where the charred corpse was buried. It was the scorched smell after some kind of poison was burned. If it hadn't been for Yu Baohan's murderous body, the fire burned the body, and the
When the poisons on your body turn into coke, Yu Bao Hairpin's warning may come true.
Sun Wu felt embarrassed, but Yu Baohan did not take advantage of the situation to show off anything. He just signaled Sun Wu to leave and return to his companions.
Seeing Xiao Shang, Yu Baohan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Miss Xiao Shang, did you do this without considering the consequences at all? Or... could you please be a little concerned about the consequences of others?"
"Haha, it doesn't make any sense to blame me, right? I don't put a gun to other people's heads to listen. I just want to know other people's secrets. If someone wants to listen with me, I will give them a pair of headphones. Everyone is responsible.
Everyone has their own responsibility, do you want to blame me for forcing others to do things?"
"...You're never that easy-going person...Well, I know it's useless to say this, but please be more considerate of me. Even without you disrupting the situation, I'm already annoyed enough.
."
Yu Baohan didn't think that Xiao Shang's actions were just random things. Although this girl was willful in doing things, she would not act rashly. Every step she took was followed by careful calculations that she might even have done.
It's nothing like that, but... the fact that she never cares about other people's lives is really a headache.
Looking at Xu Guzi again, the old man now looked leisurely watching the fire from the other side, and even whistled, but Yu Baohan believed that he must have contributed to this, and it was said that he was too careless and kept this old man by his side.
, but underestimated his ability to fan wind and light fires. As expected, none of these old foxes who had gone through the Taiping Army period were easy to deal with. Even if their martial arts were not strong, they had survived until now by their own efforts.
Sun Wu stood aside and felt that the atmosphere among his companions was strange. At this time, if he went out and said "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to force it", it would undoubtedly be a kind of hypocrisy and would only make people laugh. It seems that he is really
Riding a tiger is difficult.
"Okay... Although I don't think it will do you any good to let you know this, but the matter is already here. If I don't explain it to you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate in the future. So, please be mentally prepared, because I know
After you understand this, you will have the burden of knowing.”
Yu Baohan sat down on the sand and glanced at the faces of the companions around him. Xiaoshang and Xu Guzi both looked relaxed, even as if the matter had nothing to do with them. Only Sun Wu sat down seriously and listened attentively.
"Actually... it's very simple to say. The Demon Sect has been operating secretly all this time. It just changed its form. The so-called Wanzi Tower is just a new shell used by the Demon Sect now. You want to call it Wanzi Tower.
Or the Demon Gate."
"What?"
Sun Wu jumped up in shock. No matter what he had guessed before, he never expected that Yu Baohan would tell such an answer. The Demon Sect transformed into Wanzi Tower and existed openly in this form. The world turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.
If Yu Baohan hadn't said it himself, I don't know who would believe it.
However, after the initial shock, Sun Wu discovered another thing that surprised him, that is, Xiao Shang and Xu Guzi, who also heard the incident, had no reaction at all, as if the words had been expected.
"Hey, boy, why are you so surprised? You don't need to be so scared that you pee your pants, right?" Xuguzi said: "I have been guessing for many years that in the Battle of the Taiping Army, all the major forces in the Middle East were severely damaged, and the Demon Sect
I must have been unable to stay out of it, so I had to hide in order to recuperate, but this
It is impossible for such a big organization to go underground. No matter how you hide, your tail will be exposed, and an inexplicable new organization just appeared on the surface, with mysterious origins and surprisingly powerful power... As long as you have some brains
Everyone will come to the conclusion that Wanzi Tower is the Demon Gate."
"Yes, is that so? I never thought that such a thing would happen..."
Sun Wu rubbed his head, feeling rather annoyed at his slowness, but finally Yu Baohan spoke to cheer him up, "There is no need to belittle oneself so much. The actions of the Demon Sect are extremely secretive. There are not many people in the world who can really see the movements of the Demon Sect."
Well, besides...senior Xuguzi’s views are not entirely correct.”
"Oh? What did I say wrong?"
"The situation of the Demon Sect is not as you imagine. In fact, although the Taiping War was a big commotion, it did not really hurt the Demon Sect. On the contrary, the Demon Sect recuperated during that period, and both the mainland and the outside world suffered losses.
, when both sides are in a desperate situation, the Demon Sect is already strong and ready to make a difference at any time."
Xu Guzi was startled when he heard the words. After thinking for a moment, recalling the general trend of the world more than ten years ago, he realized that what Yu Baohan said was true, because in that era, there were many important historical events behind the instigation of the Demon Sect.
Traces and the Demon Sect have even repeatedly promoted the alliance between the two holy sects and the royal family, allowing the large and small forces in the Middle-earth to unite and fight a desperate battle against the Taiping Army.
While the war between the Middle Earth and the outside world was raging, the Demon Sect did not forget to hold back both sides at the same time and weaken the power of both sides. The tragic sacrifice of Cihang Jingdian for the Buddha's blood relic was certainly a secret to the outside world, but Xu Guzi
As a high-ranking official in Heluo at that time, he knew about this matter. Even... while the Demon Sect was wreaking havoc on Cihangjing Palace, they did not forget to take care of the Heluo Sword Sect, but fewer people knew about it.
According to this situation, the Demon Sect has preserved its vitality at the end of the Taiping Army, and its strength has not been damaged. This is quite reasonable, because they did not actually participate in the war, and there was no reason to suffer any trauma. But...if the Demon Sect preserved
If you regain your vitality, then
And why has the Middle-earth been peaceful for more than ten years, and the Demon Sect, instead of being active everywhere, has completely disappeared? The people in the Demon Sect are vicious and vicious, and they have never been peace-loving men and women. How could they not take advantage of the situation and come out to bully the weak?
When her confused eyes fell on the feather hairpin, she knew that she could not avoid the problem and said: "The purpose of the Demon Sect is to control everything in the dark. Even if there is any movement, there is no way.
Representatives must display their chariots and horses and raise troops to conquer the world..."
This answer explains some things, but it is still not enough, because even if the Demon Sect is secretly controlling everything, there are no traces of being controlled in Middle-earth today, and if you really want to hide and control everything, you can
Hidden in a deeper place, there is no need to build a half-hearted Wanzilou, and leave a conspicuous tail in front of others.
"...If I'm right as I expected..." Based on the previous mistakes, Xu Guzi spoke more carefully this time, "Something must have happened to the Demon Sect later on, right? The more precise the calculation, the less room there is for accidental mistakes.
A miscalculation could result in serious injury."
"Senior is indeed right this time. When the Demon Sect was preparing to make a difference, a small accident occurred. At first it could only be regarded as a disagreement, but... later it evolved into an internal fight. Although it did not last long, it caused
However, the casualties were very heavy, and in the end the Demon Sect had to recuperate and was unable to interfere in Jianghu affairs."
When Yu Baohan said these words, there was a look of embarrassment on her face. Seeing this expression, Sun Wuguang knew that she must have omitted something in her words, and Xiao Shang had a disapproving expression.
"There is internal fighting in the Demon Sect... This kind of thing doesn't seem strange..."
Sun Wu thought in his mind, since the Demon Sect is a selfish sect that emphasizes that the strong is the king, it is natural for there to be intrigues and internal fighting. In other words, it is strange that this kind of ghost sect does not fight among itself, but internal fighting will lead to heavy casualties.
, which shows that the whole thing is completely out of control.
The Demon Sect worked hard and accumulated strength in order to make a difference when all the forces in the Middle Earth were weakened. Finally, this ideal was achieved. Both the Middle Earth and the outside world were harmed. They could now flex their muscles and cast the shadow of the Demon Sect over the world.
But at this juncture, there was fierce internal fighting, serious casualties, and a serious injury to himself. This behavior is simply funny. Is the Demon Sect a clown sect?
"Miss Bao said that the cause of the internal fighting in the Demon Sect is disagreement. This cannot be an ordinary petty quarrel. It will be so noisy that it will ignore the actual interests and break out into such a fierce internal fighting. This kind of disagreement may be the reason for the line.
Is it a dispute, or... is it a dispute between the leader and his surrounding subordinates?”
These two possibilities emerged in Sun Wu's mind. No matter which one it is, one can imagine the brutal internal fighting of the Demon Sect back then. A dark organization like this, no matter how it plans the struggle, will avoid a full-scale armed conflict.
And if you can't avoid this step in the end, you will definitely fight to the death.
Suddenly, Sun Wu thought of another important point, which was what role did the village elder play in this matter?
The leader of the Demon Sect, Tian Mo, is a powerful man who controls the Demon Sect with supreme power. The situation in the Demon Sect is out of control. Firstly, this big demon cannot be suppressed. Secondly, he is restrained and cannot take into account the chaos within the Demon Sect.
.Everyone said that Ju Yang Martial God made an appointment with the Heavenly Demon. After a fierce battle, he finally subdued the Heavenly Demon and imprisoned him. Therefore, it was because Dad defeated the Heavenly Demon that the chaos in the Demon Sect became uncontrollable and turned into
Is this the situation today?
Thinking of this, Sun Wu couldn't help but take another look at Yu Baohan, because if the Demon Sect wants to resume activities, rescuing the former leader to see the light of day should be the primary goal. Since Yu Baohan is a member of the Demon Sect, I'm afraid he has the same idea.
To release the demon imprisoned in Liangshan Po, she will go with her...
"Miss Bao, can I ask you, is the current leader of the Demon Sect Madam Phoenix?" Sun Wu took a step forward, contrary to his previous passive attitude. Although he said he was asking for advice, his expression was extremely serious, and it seemed that he was already a little nervous.
An aggressive smell.
For those who are familiar with Sun Wu's style, this kind of situation is really rare. Even Xiao Shang, who grew up with him, could hardly remember any other time except Sun Wu standing up to Wu Canglan in Cihangjing Palace.
Such a look.
The same shock also appeared on Yu Baohan. She felt particularly obvious when she was directly questioned by Sun Wu. She could even detect a hint of hostility in Sun Wu's eyes. This was really incredible. While Yu Baohan was surprised, she thought in her mind
Because, it suddenly dawned on me.
"Hahahaha~~"
The person who laughed out loud was not Yu Baohan, but Xiao Shang who figured out the key at the same time. Although Xu Guzi still looked confused, Xiao Shang already understood the reason for Sun Wu's change, and seemed to have seen something big.
It was like a joke, he fell to the ground laughing.
"Hey, what's so funny?"
Sun Wu, who felt that he was being laughed at, naturally showed his displeasure. Another person who was unhappy was Yu Baohan. His current situation was really sad. Is there no one who could help him relieve his stress?
Of course, there are no such kind-hearted people here. Yu Baohan can only answer this question personally, and this is really a difficult problem to answer.
"...My mother, Mrs. Phoenix, she...she has been practicing in seclusion for many years. She is no longer in charge of the affairs of Wanzi Tower or the Demon Sect."
"Mrs. Phoenix is not in charge, so... who is in charge of the Demon Sect now?"
"If Wanzilou is regarded as a magic sect, then I am responsible for all the large and small industries of the magic sect. Although I have always felt that this is overtime work, I was told that reasonable training is training, and unreasonable training is tempering.
...Well, I have been trained for many years."
Yu Baohan said: "Ever since the Heavenly Demon was sealed, the entire Demon Sect has gone into seclusion, with Wanzilou as the main body, several other large branches, and countless small tribes, all of which have nothing to do with each other.
Apart from the main premise of lurking and recuperating, there is no other connection...that's what the extraterritorial branch of Wanzilou is like. Now you know why I can't mobilize the extraterritorial branch."
Sun Wu indeed understood that from the very beginning, Wanzilou’s power was limited to the Middle Earth and was not allowed to enter outside the territory, because the Demon Sect had other branch forces hiding outside the territory and had been operating for a long time. Of course, Wanzilou would not let Wanzilou
There is interference here, and Yu Baohan has gone outside the territory. We can only ask these people to support based on the friendship of the same sect, but cannot give orders. It is normal for the summons to be immobile.
However, if this is the case, then at the moment when the Demon Sect is split, wouldn't Yu Baohan become the actual master of the Demon Sect? To be able to command the entire Demon Sect at such a young age is... too incredible.
"You are the leader of the Demon Sect? Then why...the one who was just beaten to death still spoke in this tone to you? He didn't think you were the leader of the Demon Sect at all."
"Hey, I only said that I will take care of the Demon Sect's industry. I am just a part-timer at best. When did I say that I became the master of the Demon Sect? Now the several big bosses in the Demon Sect are divided, and no one obeys the other.
The figure of the Lord of the Demon Sect does not currently exist."
Yu Baohan said: "As for that person's tone... Well, although strength is respected in the Demon Sect, there are also many seniors who are arrogant because they think they have high qualifications. Most of the time, in order to avoid trouble, I will keep quiet, but occasionally
...If you don't do something to establish your authority, you will be looked down upon by others. Not only will they step on your feet, but they may step on your face next, so..."
Sun Wu's mind was in a mess. Everything Yu Baohan said about the secrets of the Demon Sect made sense, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It was really annoying to think about it.
"Miss Bao, you are my friend, and I don't want to become an enemy with you... Well, I want to confirm with you, does the Demon Sect have a plan to rescue the former leader?"
Sun Wu asked seriously, but Yu Baozheng heard the words, but smiled very weirdly. "There are many factions in the Magic Gate. I can't speak all the magic doors. What they want to do and I have no binding power, but at least me
It can guarantee that Wanzilou will never do this kind of thing, and never think about it. "
"Oh, this ... it sounds okay."
"Moreover, you may wish to tell you a secret. The former leader is furious and has the habit of killing killing. In addition to a few extremes, there are not many people who want to rescue him."
Listening to Yu Baodi said that, Sun Wu should feel relieved, but somehow, he always felt that Yu Baodi's smile was not only weird, but also very familiar. It seemed that he had seen it before.
"Ah! Thinking of it, the girl Bao said before that when the Zongzong would never be the incarnation of the Middle Earth Demon Gate, her smile was the same as now ..."
