Chapter 47: Borrowing the Ground to Refine the Puppet Yu Xuan Youmeng
Seeing this strange face, Xi Qingheng was extremely surprised. He did not expect that the mastermind behind the "Gate of Life and Death" turned out to be this unknown masked Taoist.
But when past information is picked up one by one, this answer makes sense.
Gui Wujiu frowned into the character "Chuan". He should have thought long ago that there is no other way to enter the Yulan Secret Realm except the opening time every thirty years. Therefore, the person behind the scenes is probably among the adventurous cultivators.
.
What's more, the relationship between the masked Taoist and Yu Xuanzong was ambiguous before, and they seemed to know each other's roots; this is also a clue that should have been noticed long ago. But the key point is that both parties are extremely strict. Only the leader of Yu Xuanzong, Xiang Zhirong, may know, and even
Xi Qingheng didn't know why either.
Now that Xiang Zhirong is dead, there is one less channel to dig into this person's background.
In the blink of an eye, the stone platform under the masked Taoist's feet rose higher and higher, until it exceeded the height where Gui Wujiu and the two stood, showing the demeanor of a condescending hegemon.
Gui Wujiu recalled this person's previous actions and realized: "Your Majesty is also one of the five people who competed with one hundred thousand jade coins to win the fortune-telling copper coin. Of course you didn't just do this deliberately to make fun of others. When Gu Tianshan saw you at that time,
He lost his composure on the spot and seemed to be extremely frightened. I guess you used some secret method to coerce Gu Tianshan and teach him to deliberately deliver wrong information."
At that time, Jiao Shetu had already noticed that the atmosphere was strange and took precautionary measures. I don’t know whether the message about his copper coin was true or false. Now that Jiao Shetu unexpectedly died in Meng Taiyu’s hands, ancient Tianshan will also suffer from the "concentric"
He died due to a curse, but this incident has become a mystery.
The masked Taoist said disapprovingly: "Even if there is no ancient Tianshan Mountain, I have my own way to teach anyone above the second level to enter the left door. The existence of the ancient Tianshan Mountain only teaches me a little convenience to do things, so it is not worth mentioning."
The masked Taoist stared at Xi Qingheng and Gui Wujiu for a moment, then said slowly: "Fellow Taoist Xi used to be the leader of the guards of Wanshu Pavilion. Once he entered the third level, he temporarily took over the duties of Zhongqu Island. This shows that you are highly trusted by the sect.
, let alone being among the first in the true lineage of "Haitian Jue". After you achieve the fourth level, your status will never be lower than Xiang Zhirong."
"There is also this fellow Taoist Literary. He has not yet entered the fourth level, but he possesses the strength of the fourth level of the Golden elixir. He is an amazing talent. It is incredible to resist the "four births and destructions" with the cultivation of the third level. Your sect
Such an unknown secret was hidden, and even I was concealed."
"Why did the entry list provided by your sect not include the names of fellow Taoists? This shows that the cooperation between me and your sect still needs to enhance trust."
"Why did the literary fellow change his attire so much? Yes, in such attire, the aura of a Tsinghua nobleman is greatly reduced, and the aloofness and aloofness appear. This is exactly the true nature of a sword cultivator."
The masked Taoist commented and talked eloquently about Gui Wujiu and Xi Qingheng. However, although he praised Gui Wujiu very much, the condescending and free-spirited way of pointing out the country in his demeanor and tone was...
It cannot be concealed.
But there was no blame to blame. Xi Qingheng immediately grasped a piece of information keenly:
This masked Taoist is not a member of Yu Xuanzong, but a friendly alliance that has a close cooperative relationship with Yu Xuanzong!
The reason why this conclusion is absolutely true is not only because he personally admitted his identity. It is also because this person subconsciously regarded Gui Wujiu as Yu Xuanzong's ambush! This completely exposed his vision.
At this time, anyone who saw the two walking together would take Gui Wujiu as one of Yu Xuanzong's sons hiding in the dark, which is a matter of course - provided that this is someone other than Yu Xuanzong.
If you are a disciple of Yu Xuanzong, you will naturally know clearly that Gui Wugui is not a member of this sect.
To be fair, after entering the school, he encountered the tyranny of secret arts all the way, which cannot be done without the foundation of a first-class sect. However, in the deserted sea of Rongzhou, Yu Xuanzong seems to be strong, but because of its monopoly on the five elements mixed jade veins, which is so delicious,
Because of this, it can be regarded as having enemies on all sides.
It is really unimaginable that any sect would have such an alliance with Yu Xuanzong.
Could it be a big shop in Pingzhou, Zhenzhou, or Leizhou?
Xi Qingheng smiled softly, his cheeks dizzy, and he was extremely bright and moving: "Since you are an ally of my Yu Xuanzong, why did you make things difficult for us two times after entering the country?"
The masked Taoist snorted coldly, and his high-spirited and heroic voice suddenly turned gloomy: "What will happen to the Gate of Life and Death in this mystical exploration meeting? With your identities, could it be that you are like cannon fodder at the first level of the Golden Core Realm and have not informed you? 2
If you are going to die on your own, who can blame you?"
Xi Qingheng had not yet spoken, but the masked Taoist seemed to have thought of something, and mused: "Is it possible that there is a fierce internal struggle within the Gui sect, and Taoist friends Xi and Xiang Zhirong and others are not on the same side? It is good or bad for the entry, and the elders of the Gui sect only informed the leader, Xiang Zhirong.
.However, Xiang Zhirong deliberately sent the opposite information to Taoist Xi, in order to eliminate the two major enemies who would compete for power in the future."
"Xiang Zhirong didn't know that I was in charge of the Life and Death Gate. He thought that once he left the secret realm, there would be no evidence of his death. Then he falsely claimed that Taoist Xi and his two friends had died at the hands of the Xingyue Gate, but it was a seamless and vicious plan."
Blameless, Xi Qingheng and the two were quite speechless. The man in front of them suddenly had an idea and came up with a reason for the two of them to be here. It sounded reasonable at first glance. It can be seen that he is also an expert in conspiracy.
Xi Qingheng smiled and said: "Senior Brother Xiang has already made it clear that the right door is good and the left door is bad. It's just that Qingheng is curious by nature, so when he left, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to go to the left door to find out."
The masked Taoist was silent for a moment, and then nodded solemnly: "I was overthinking it. It turns out there was no conspiracy, it was just that the two of you were tired of living. As a Taoist, you have to pay the price for your willful behavior at all costs.
The two of you are buried here, so I don’t think your sect will have any complaints.”
The masked Taoist said again: "I estimate that the battle of the nine formations has ended long ago. Why hasn't a fourth-level Jindan monk come here yet? Regardless of the Xingyue Gate or the Yujing Gate, you should go out from the left door.
"
Xi Qingheng sighed and said with great regret: "I sent senior fellow apprentices, senior fellow apprentices Cheng and the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce to fight against the four members of the Xingyue Sect, but they all died together and no one survived."
The masked Taoist struck hard with his fist and cried out in pain: "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can. How can you succeed if you have evil intentions? There are already six people in my trap, but they are ruined by the intrigues of the noble sect! You will die if you don't succeed."
It’s a pity that I missed it a little bit and ruined my plan!”
"Now even if I have great kindness, I can't let it go."
"Teach the two of you to be understanding ghosts. The essence of Jiuyun is not in my eyes. This thing is originally in the pocket of the noble sect. Only the orders from above and below are distorted. Xiang Zhirong and others are greedy for merit and rush forward, even in order to seize it.
More treasures from the Nine Yunnan will turn into a meaningless battle."
After some explanation, Xi Qingheng finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that according to the negotiation between Taoist Mask and Yu Xuanzong, no matter which family takes away the essence of Jiu Yun, they will eventually be defeated at the gate of life and death. At that time, Taoist Mask will return the nine essences of Jiu Yun to Yu Xuanzong.
It stands to reason that Yu Xuanzong does not need to send one person, he only needs to secretly spread the news of the order of the nine passes, kill people with borrowed swords, and enjoy the results.
But Yu Xuanzong heard a specious rumor somewhere, saying that if the essence of the Nine Yun gathered together in one place, it would have incredible magical effects.
Although Yu Xuanzong and the Masked Taoist are allies, they are afraid that the value of the nine yin combinations is too high to imagine. If they are collected by the Masked Taoist at the same time and get a glimpse of the secret, it may be a life-long change. Whether this person is willing to return it as promised, I really can't say.
allow.
So Yu Xuanzong weighed the situation and decided to send a team into it to personally seize the essence of Jiuyun. However, the number did not need to be too large, just taking one piece was enough. When he encountered him and sent fourth-level monks, he also wanted to avoid fighting.
This instruction actually has a hidden meaning. Take only one piece and not take more. The purpose is to prevent the Mask Taoist from collecting all the items and starting to think about raising the price. Avoiding the other fourth-level monks is not cowardly, but this generation is a Mask Taoist.
The resources in the door of life and death are not beautiful if they are killed in advance.
But many times, the intentions of the people playing chess are kept secret, and the people below are doing things in a haphazard manner, so the execution naturally goes wrong. Only the head Han Anshi and the two supreme elders of Yu Xuanzong know the full details of the Life and Death Sect and the masked Taoist.
Master Yuanying, who handed down the edict, only told what to do, but did not explain the cause and effect. So Xiang Zhirong, Yue Yaofeng and others became greedy for merit, changed their ways, and caused a massacre.
Gui Wujiu originally wanted to continue to have a show-off with this person and test his true identity. But at this time, the masked Taoist took action decisively.
He waved his hand, and where the wind was blowing, the mud-yellow waves were like a rolling curtain hanging upside down, turning into a sealed barrier with a radius of more than ten miles. At the same time, on the high platform he was standing on, densely packed coffins emerged from the ground, lying vertically and horizontally.
A hundred each, I'm afraid the total number is not tens of thousands.
Blameless, Xi Qingheng looked solemn. If there are no empty coffins among the more than ten thousand coffins, it means that all the monks who walked into the left door have already died here and were transformed into corpse puppets in a very short period of time.
!
Then a burst of dark red light bloomed, and something appeared in the palm of the masked Taoist. It was white and yellow, with a bulging shape and messy markings. It turned out to be a palm-sized conch. When it was blown, more than ten layers of looming chaotic patterns were stimulated and then transformed.
, manifested into transparent walls of air, completely covering his body.
The masked Taoist laid out a formation diagram in this small barrier and sat cross-legged in it. Then he carefully placed a strange talisman-like object in front of him, then held his breath and concentrated, forming dozens of dharma seals with his palms, as if
Luck in doing business.
After a moment, a black light bloomed in his palm, and suddenly a black python sprang out, with great agility, binding a coffin not far away and dragging it close.
The masked Taoist had been very loud before. At this time, he used his magic skills and took out the magic weapon. Gui Wujiu and Xi Qingheng said that the battle was about to break out. They didn't expect him to make any moves, but just set up an array to perform his merits. What he did was really unexpected.
Gui Wujiu and Xi Qingheng looked at each other and instantly reached a tacit understanding. The one who strikes first will control others, and the one who strikes last will control others. If there is something about the person in front of him who is not ready yet, this is a good time to strike halfway!
The two of them spontaneously raised dozens of talismans and fired rapidly at the defensive barrier.
