The capital city has been calm these past two days. Not only is there no movement in the palace, but there are also fewer fights between gangs. Everything seems to be in order.
However, in the eyes of some monks who know the inside story, this is the calm before the storm.
In Xuanwu District, in a remote old house, eight monks gathered at the moment. These eight people were old and young, half male and female, but their cultivation had already reached the foundation building stage.
This kind of strength, outside, can almost rival a medium-sized immortal cultivating sect. But here, these eight people just stood in silence, no one talked to each other, and no one showed any signs of impatience.
After a while, two more people came outside the courtyard.
The man walking in front was of medium height, wearing a white robe, with slightly dark skin. The man walking behind was a tall and thin young man in green clothes, with a rather handsome appearance.
The eight people in the courtyard who were originally silent turned their heads at the same time and looked at the two people who had just arrived.
After a long time, a middle-aged man spoke up and said, "Xie An, today the envoy summoned our nine guards to prepare for a big event. How can you bring people here without permission?"
This man in white robe, Xie An, was naturally disguised by Liang Yan. The man in green behind him, Xu Xiang, was disguised as his fellow junior sister Yu Ruxin, but this woman was suppressed by the "Yuanmu Dao" spell.
Because of his cultivation level, he looks like he is just at the peak of Qi refining.
Liang Yan searched Xie An's soul and found out that the middle-aged man in front of him was named Wang Mingjing, so he cupped his hands and said: "Senior Brother Wang, you don't know something. This man is from the same lineage as me, and he is the registered name of Lord Gu Shi."
Disciple, Master Gu Shi sent him to Beijing this time just to practice with me. I also want to bring him to broaden his horizons for such a big event today."
After hearing this, Wang Jing hesitated slightly, but then he still shook his head and said: "No! The matter is very important. I can't just listen to your words. I can't confirm the identity of this person and I won't bring him in with me."
After listening to Wang Jing's words, Liang Yan looked at the other seven people. They were all silent at the moment. It seemed that Wang Jing was the leader and they all recognized his judgment.
"I didn't expect these monks to be so cautious that they don't even trust their own people." Liang Yan sighed softly in his heart. He was thinking about how to deal with it when he heard a clear voice suddenly sound:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I know this man. I wonder if I can be a guarantee?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look. Even Liang Yan was slightly surprised and couldn't help but follow the sound.
I saw a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, wearing a lavender dress, with her long hair tied up behind her head, and a gorgeous purple flower pinned to it, which gave her a unique aura.
This woman is also one of the eight people, but she didn't speak before, but now she speaks: "I recognize the young man in green. His name is Xu Xiang. He is indeed the registered disciple of Master Gu Shi. And it is said that he has a good reputation."
Gu Shi's master values him, and once this experience is completed, he is ready to accept him as a formal disciple."
After hearing this, Wang Jing frowned slightly and asked: "You are not of the 'Gu Envoy' lineage, how come you know so clearly?"
The beautiful woman in purple smiled brightly, but did not answer Wang Jing's question directly. Instead, she said with a smile: "Anyway, I have informed you of this person's identity. It is your business whether to let him in. But 'Gu Envoy'
If your Excellency later finds out that someone is so disrespectful to him, I don’t need to explain the consequences, right?"
After saying this, Wang Jing began to hesitate again. He looked back at the two of them, and finally sighed and said to Yu Ruxin: "That's all, since you have two fellow Taoists, Xie An and Ziyuan, as guarantees for you.
Then I’ll take you in with me.”
After Yu Ruxin heard this, she quickly stepped forward, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, senior, for your support!"
Liang Yan also slightly cupped his hands to thank Wang Jing, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart and he secretly thought:
"According to Xie An's memory from my soul search, the beautiful woman in purple is named Ziyuan. She is not from the same family as Xie An, but they both work under the 'Nine Nether Alliance'. The two of them don't have much to do with each other on weekdays.
, let alone being close to each other, why did you suddenly come to help me make this guarantee today?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman in purple clothes again, but saw that the beautiful woman in purple clothes also glanced at him. I wonder if it was Liang Yan's imagination, but this woman seemed to wink at him, and the corner of her mouth
He showed a very hidden smile.
"Who is she?"
An idea came to Liang Yan's mind, but before he could think about it carefully, he heard Wang Jing shout in a deep voice:
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go in together and pay homage to the envoy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the inside of the old house. The other seven people, including Liang Yan and Yu Ruxin, also walked forward slowly, following Wang Jing.
This group of ten people came to a secret room in the old house. After everyone stood still, they saw Wang Jing making secrets with one hand and hitting each of the four corners of the room. Then, something appeared on the wall.
A simple stone door.
There were no runes engraved on the stone door, but there was a ferocious face. At this moment, his eyes were turning, and he was slowly looking at everyone.
Seeing this ancient stone gate, the other eight people present each took out a token and entered a magic formula at the same time.
Seeing this, Liang Yan followed the example of others and took out a token from Xie An's storage bag and activated it with his spiritual power. After a moment, a black light flew out from the token.
In the secret room, nine black lights circled alternately, and finally disappeared into the ghostly face on the stone door. The ghostly face seemed to be nourished, and let out a low whistle, then the ghostly eyes turned, and the stone door slowly opened.
Liang Yan raised his eyes and looked up, only to see an extremely deep secret passage leading directly to the ground. There was endless blood mist in the secret passage, and waves of blood-evil gas came from the secret passage.
"Let's go!"
After Wang Jing finished speaking, he stepped into the secret passage first, while Liang Yan and Yu Ruxin also mixed in with the guards and walked slowly downwards.
The entire secret passage was very spacious. After walking for a while, everyone suddenly saw a large hole several feet wide in front of them, which actually extended straight downward. At the entrance of the hole, there were countless blood surging, faintly trying to choose people and devour them.
Wang Jing and the other eight people didn't hesitate at all. They all used magic to release the body-protecting spiritual light, which then turned into eight rays of different colors and jumped straight into the big hole.
Liang Yan and Yu Ruxin looked at each other. He knew that Yu Ruxin was now disguised as a monk in the Qi refining stage and could not use the body-protecting spiritual light in public. So he opened a layer of light blue aperture and illuminated Yu Ruxin.
His heart was also covered in it, and then he took her to jump into this bottomless hole of blood.
