Chapter 78: Jiang Shaoyan's Purpose

Immortality Gu is about to be born, which is not good news for Li Xin'an.

"Prepare kerosene and select strong soldiers to follow me down." Li Xin'an stared at the chimney. The blue mist had disappeared, and there was only a bottomless hole left there.

"You want to go down from here?" Murong Bai said in surprise, "Although the entrance of this cave is not small, it is bottomless. We don't know what dangers are hidden below. It would be too reckless to go down like this."

"Jiang Yan and others definitely didn't go down from here. There must be some mechanism nearby, just like the secret compartment in the Blood Clothes Hall."

After being reminded by Murong Bai, Li Xin'an suddenly slapped his forehead, yes, the agency, how could he forget this?

"Buddha statue!" Li Xin'an hurriedly looked at the leaning Buddha statue, and saw that the originally tall Buddha had been beaten down by soldiers and turned into a pile of rubble.

It’s a good idea to preserve the lotus platform under the Buddha statue. The mechanism Jiang Yanyan used before was also here.

Li Xin'an limped over, groped under the lotus platform, and touched a hand of dust. Then, he encountered a square-shaped bump.

It was lifted gently, and a sound like the friction of boulders sounded under everyone's feet. Several people looked down in unison, and after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Li Xin'an said angrily: "I forgot that this Buddha statue was the mechanism used by Jiang Yanyan to open this house. Now that this house has been destroyed, the mechanism is of no use."

"That's what I say, but there must be other agencies nearby. When Jiang Yanyan escaped from our sight, he could only take a breath, and he couldn't go far. If you look carefully, you can definitely find it nearby." You Sang said.

Li Xin'an nodded, "It's better to prepare the kerosene first."

"In any case, this cave entrance is definitely connected to Jiang Yanyan's location, and there is a high possibility that the Immortality Gu will be there."

"I don't believe it if we pour kerosene down, we can't burn them to death!"

"Cunning Rabbit Three Cave, what if this place is a cover left by Jiang Yan to lure us deliberately, then everything we do will be in vain?" Murong Bai said worriedly, "It's better to find the mechanism to get down first and then make plans.

"

"Bai Mumu, do you know what's bad about you?" Li Xin'an said suddenly.

Murong Bai was startled for a moment and then said:

"I know that you are the hall master and I am your subordinate. I should not overstep. But the matter is serious and we cannot act without understanding the situation."

Li Xin'an shook his head, "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm very happy that you can advise me. There are many places where I'm not as good as you. With your advice, I will make fewer mistakes. But you have to understand that some things cannot be relied on.

Solve it rationally.”

"Now that the Immortal Gu is about to be born, where do we have time to first find the agency to find out the situation, and then come up to discuss countermeasures? If we continue to make mistakes, we will suffer chaos. Now is the time to make a decision!"

"What are you afraid of if Jiang Yanyan is not down here? What are you afraid of burning innocent people to death? It's not that we didn't make mistakes, we made mistakes along the way, but we just made mistakes all the way to get here. At this time, we know we made mistakes, but we have to make them again and again.

.”

"At this time, once you want to stop and solve the problem rationally, then the mistakes we made will really be meaningless."

Murong Bai lowered his head silently and nodded.

"you're right."

Li Xin'an breathed a long sigh of relief, and his expression became cold again.

At this time, he no longer cares about how many people die.

"Fire oil!"

There are 1,500 soldiers and 800 people in Yonghefang guarding the crazy believers. With Jiang Yanyan's departure and the passage of time, some of them have calmed down. Although their consciousness is still unclear, they are finally quiet.

some.

As for those who were deeply poisoned and were still going crazy, they could only be trapped by the soldiers and thrown aside. They could not kill others, so they could only hurt themselves.

It is estimated that many people will die before dawn.

Sun Anguo mobilized 200 of the remaining soldiers to carry kerosene to the official residence and barracks in Yonghefang.

Li Xin'an originally brought ten barrels of kerosene when he led his troops here, but he felt it was not enough.

At least a hundred barrels!

Sun Anguo shook his head and said he couldn't do it. As far as he knew, there were only fifty barrels of kerosene in Yonghefang.

This was something strictly controlled by the imperial court. A few years ago, more than thirty Khitan wolf slaves entered Chang'an in disguise, plotted to assassinate the king, and set a fire on the Lantern Festival when thousands of houses were lit up.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The fire was close to the foot of the Imperial City. Although the Khitan wolf slaves were captured and their conspiracy was exposed in less than a day thanks to the efforts of the Jing'an Division, the fire was finally set free by them.

Thousands of Yulin soldiers fought the fire desperately and Si Tianjian Zuotan managed to induce a strong wind to save the palace from being engulfed by the fire, but the strong wind summoned by Si Tianjian blew the fire to the other side.

The fire burned for one day and two nights, destroying half of the city and killing more than 10,000 people.

After this incident, Si Tianjian was deprived of his position and imprisoned. He was executed in the autumn, and Si Tianjian changed his blood. Jian Zheng's disciples realized that their master had been wronged and fled with the secret treasure without trace.

The saint issued an edict of sin and sent troops to Khitan in the same month. It was at this time that Pei Min was sent to Khitan from the northwest Tibetan border. Li Xin'an followed Pei Min northward for a year of experience.

From then on, the imperial court strictly prohibited the circulation of kerosene in the market. Anyone found selling kerosene would be deemed to be treason and would be killed!

In the army, the supervision of kerosene is particularly serious. Unless there is a war, kerosene is not allowed in the military camp. After all, once the army rebels, in the city of Chang'an with more than 5 million people, kerosene is more terrifying than any magic weapon.

thing.

Yonghefang can have fifty barrels of kerosene, which is already a lot.

"Find a way... if you can pull as many buckets as you can!" Li Xin'an knew Sun Anguo's difficulties. He had no memory of the fire. In the operation to capture the Khitan wolf slaves, the Blood Clothes Hall played a role.

That incident was inexplicably related to His Highness the Crown Prince. Li Chu woke up Li Xin'an from bed overnight, gave him the badge of Jing'an Division, and told him to find all the Khitans within twelve hours.

Wolf slave.

Kill and silence? Li Xin'an didn't dare to ask.

As a scribe, he searched for a lot of information in the Jing'an Division. Finally, he quietly heard people from the Jing'an Division talking about how there was a lot of kerosene in the yard where the wolf slaves were lurking. Only then did he realize that these Khitan wolf cubs wanted to set a fire.

Xueyitang pried open the mouths of the two captured wolf slaves, which further confirmed Li Xin'an's thoughts. He revealed his thoughts to Jing'an Si Cheng Li Bi without any trace, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time.

Sicheng saw the problem at a glance.

Jingansi captured the last three wolf slaves under the imperial city, but still failed to stop them from throwing torches.

The torch ignited the kerosene fuse buried on the float, and Li Xin'an could only watch as the monstrous flames engulfed a street of people.

That night, he was burned by the flames and fainted. The people of Xueyitang rescued him from the sea of ​​​​fire. When Li Xin'an woke up again, the fire had been extinguished, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

He felt that he could not embarrass Sun Anguo. This man survived the bloody battle at Crouching Tiger Pass, which was equivalent to walking through the gate of hell once, and Quli's excuse last night chilled him. Li Xin'an could not wrong him anymore.

"If you can't mobilize the kerosene, General Sun doesn't have to be embarrassed."

Sun Anguo turned and left, "No, you can't be vague about serving the country and the people. Mr. Li doesn't have to think about the bid. It's just fifty barrels of kerosene, why bother!"

Watching Sun Anguo gradually walk away, Li Xin'an sighed secretly: "The pillar of the country is nothing more than that."

Murong Bai had already gone to the Emperor's Sun Mansion, and You Sang had released the poison and was looking for traces of the mechanism. Li Xin'an pulled Zhang Quan, who was doing nothing on the side, and whispered something into his ear.

After hearing this, Zhang Quan looked surprised. Just as he was about to speak, Li Xin'an covered his mouth.

Li Xin'an said in a deep voice: "Listen to me!"



Before Immortality Gu.

The wall was closed again, and Jiang Yanyan sat cross-legged in front of the wall. Behind him, a strange purple light shone through the gap.

In front of Jiang Yanyan were more than eighty longevity teaching Gu masters who were also sitting cross-legged.

He sent thirty Gu Masters one after another to find out the news. Those Gu Masters were all the weakest in the Immortality Sect and had been recruited in recent years.

His intention was not to prevent soldiers from outside from finding this place, but to prevent them from finding this place.

Beside him, Qian Shichang, who was pale and sweating profusely, was lying on the ground as if he had been through hell, and murmured:

"Why are you doing this?"

Jiang Yanyan curled up his lips and said, "There must be someone to appreciate a perfect work."

"When the Gu God comes to this world, it would be a pity if we were the only ones present."

Qian Shichang rolled his eyes because he couldn't understand the thoughts of Jiang Yanyan, a lunatic.

"So you sent them out to die?"

"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

This is not a suicide attempt." Jiang Yan corrected him with a serious face, "They went to see the Gu God, and the Gu God will bless them, and they will live forever."

Qian Shichang laughed disdainfully, "Are you stupid, do you think I am one of those stupid believers outside?"

Jiang Yanyan smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

"By the way, the Gu God you are talking about is the Immortality Gu?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yanyan nodded.

"So the way to gain immortality is to eat it?" Qian Shichang hesitated. In his impression, there are only two conditions for the voodoo to be effective, either it is eaten by someone, or it bites someone.

And the thing behind the wall is obviously not capable of biting people.

"You will know when the Gu God is born." Jiang Yan closed his eyes and did not answer his question.

Qian Shichang cursed in his heart and moved his fingers. His body seemed to be getting stronger. He slowly curled up his legs and tried to stand up from the ground.

Previously, when Qian Shichang couldn't help but cast his gaze at the so-called Gu God, he was actually attracted by the Gu and walked towards the Immortality Gu in a daze. If Jiang Ban hadn't stopped him in time, Qian Qian would have

Shichang may have become the nourishment for the Immortality Gu.

Even though Qian Shichang didn't walk in, after the wall closed and Qian Shichang regained his consciousness, he was still drained of all his strength and collapsed on the ground like a patient who had not recovered from a serious illness.

He put his hands on the ground, raised his buttocks, and stood up awkwardly from the ground. His center of gravity was unsteady, and he took a few steps back. He finally managed to stabilize his body, and the sweat that had just dried on his body couldn't stop coming out.

"Why did you save me?" Qian Shichang began to circle around Jiang Yan to recover his body, asking as he walked.

Jiang Yanyan still looked calm and calm, "You are our disciple, so naturally I want to save you."

Qian Shichang sneered and said: "I have told you that I am not a stupid follower of your Immortality Religion! I have never been a member of your Immortality Religion, we are just a cooperative relationship."

"I don't believe that a devil like you would be kind enough to save a partner. Now that the Immortal Gu is about to be born, it's time for you to kill the donkey. Why don't you kill me?"

"I want to hear the truth."

Jiang Yanyan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Qian Shichang with his evil eyes, and said:

"Are you surprised that I won't kill you?"

"Of course." Qian Shichang nodded and replied, "Before I came here today, I had already anticipated that I would be killed by you."

"But you're still here, aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?"

"I..." Qian Shichang blinked his eyes, covered his chest, and said in a panic:

"I don't know... I wanted to escape, but you don't know. My identity was discovered. I designed to arrest the boy who was investigating the Immortality Cult, but he was a member of the emperor's grandson Li Chu. Li Chu took him away personally.

He also sent people to monitor me. There were all spies outside my house. At this time, you just sent people to call me... I... I didn't dare to come, but... I don't know why, I can't control it.

Go this way."

Qian Shichang asked tentatively: "Have you...bewitched me?"

"Has your identity been discovered?" Jiang Yanyan said in surprise, looking at Qian Shichang blankly, his eyes dark and unclear.

"You...you won't really bewitch me, will you?"

Jiang Yanyan looked away, "No. When my master cooperated with your teacher Qi Shengyan, he promised that he would never bewitch him. This was the condition for the cooperation between the Immortality Sect and you. When this rule was passed on to me, I took it.

Naturally, those who have sworn this fate Gu will not do this."

After that, he murmured: "I didn't kill you because I originally wanted to use your identity as the governor of Jingzhao to find the emperor and bring him the Immortality Gu to support the Immortality Sect."

"Your identity has been discovered, and you are still the emperor's grandson. Li Chu... hiss, it's troublesome, but it's not a big problem."

Qian Shichang had not yet recovered from his last sentence, "What do you mean, give the immortality Gu to the saint?"

"Yes, this is my plan, or the purpose of the Immortality Sect coming to Datang."

"You are crazy, you are all crazy!" Qian Shichang said with a livid face and gritted his teeth:

"Bring the Immortality Gu to the Emperor, do you want to kill me? This is a pile of living human lives. No matter how cruel Jingguan is, it is more merciful than this. If you give this to the Emperor, you are looking for your own death! You guys

What’s the picture of?”

An unpredictable smile appeared on Jiang Yanyan's face. He put his index finger to his lips and whispered:

"State religion."
