Chapter 209 Forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes (1)
To the southwest of Yonghui City is an uninhabited and desolate mountainous area. On weekdays, the wind and sand are blowing in, and the line of sight is blocked. It is easy to get lost if you enter by mistake.
At this moment, in this desolate mountainous area, there is a fast horse running skillfully through the mountains. The rider on the horse is a man in gray robe.
This man traveled through the mountains for a long time and finally stopped in a hidden mountain col.
The man in gray robe whistled in front of a huge stone, and the stone moved slowly, revealing a gap.
The man in gray robe immediately rode his horse and entered the gap. As the stone gap closed, no trace could be seen.
"Tao Zun is back!"
There was a torch burning in the secret room, and someone immediately came over to lead the horse and welcomed the man in gray robe down with a very respectful attitude.
This secret room is built against a cave. It has a huge space, neat equipment, and a large number of people. It is like a secret base.
"Tao Zun," a senior disciple came up to him, bowed and saluted with Xuanmen's special gestures, and then asked curiously, "How is things going? Why didn't the two senior brothers Zi Jian and Feishuang come back with you?"
"The mission has been completed," the man called Dao Zun took off his hat, shook his head and sighed, "but Zi Jian and Feishuang have been exposed and were blown up together with the ship!"
But I saw that the man in gray robe was a very handsome man with a face like a crown jewel, about forty years old.
Upon hearing the news, several disciples bowed and expressed their condolences.
"Get ready," Dao Zun ordered to the disciples, "destroy this place, we must evacuate immediately!"
"Ah?" The disciples were surprised, "Taoist Master, this is the foundation of Xuanmen. Do we really want to abandon it? Where... where are we going?"
"When Xu Zun dies, the Sanhe Gang will suffer. Now that Li Ronger has also been killed, Yonghui has no meaning to us!" Dao Zun said, "Although this place was created by Shangxuan Tianzun, it is no longer the
What is the foundation?
"We have been notified from above to enter Shu, so prepare quickly!"
"yes!"
All the disciples agreed in unison and immediately began to pack up their belongings and destroy important documents...
The Taoist Master stood in front of the altar table offering incense and worshiping the gods while chanting something.
After worshiping, he returned to his room to pack his belongings.
Half an hour later, everyone was fully dressed, led their horses, and were ready to set off.
From this mountainous area to the southwest is Shuzhou. The mountains here are steep and the roads are steep and extremely difficult to walk. However, these disciples of Xuanmen walk in this area all year round, so it is not difficult for them.
There was a rumble, the boulder cracked, and people led their horses out of the secret room one after another.
Outside there was flying sand and rocks, and smoke and dust filled the air. After everyone went out and were about to move forward, the Taoist Master suddenly felt something and immediately made a gesture to tell everyone not to move.
Unexpectedly, when the wind and sand blew over, everyone was stunned.
But I saw that the entire mountain col had been surrounded by the army, and there were soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons everywhere!
The soldiers lined up in order, their bows and crossbows opened, and they were already aimed at these Xuanmen disciples, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
Seeing these soldiers who seemed to fall from the sky, Dao Zun was stunned and couldn't figure out what went wrong...
…
The Shen hour has passed, and blazing clouds of fire appear in the sky.
In front of a newly piled tomb, Xu Zun and Li Ronger were saying goodbye.
"I think... you still can't get rid of them," Xu Zun said, "because I have always been a court official and a public figure. When Xuanmen knows that I was not killed by the bomb, they will still suspect you!"
"It doesn't matter," Li Ronger said, "Get rid of it one day at a time!"
"Then what are your plans in the future?" Xu Zun asked, "Otherwise..."
What Xu Zun means is to ask her if she wants to hang out with me? Anyway, I am surrounded by people with complicated identities, and you, Li Ronger, are not the least of them.
However, before Xu Zun could say anything, Li Ronger took the lead and pointed at the tomb and said: "My sister is dead, and I have nothing to worry about from now on! It's time to live a peaceful life!"
oh……
Only then did Xu Zun remember that Li Ronger still had a husband! She was talking about her sister, but most likely she was going to Shuzhou to find her husband.
"Okay," Xu Zun clasped his fists and said, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. From now on, we forget about each other in the world. Maybe it will be good for you and me!"
"Master Xu," Li Ronger bowed to Xu Zun deeply and said solemnly, "You have shown kindness to Ronger again. Ronger doesn't want to forget you. She only hopes that we will be destined to see each other again in this life!"
Hearing such passionate words, Xu Zun seemed to open his arms and hug her.
But it didn't feel right, so I finally changed it to cupping my fists.
But what surprised him was that Li Ronger hugged him generously and whispered in his ear: "I will never forget that night, when a row of egrets went up to the west..."
Hearing this ambiguous ancient poem, the two of them laughed knowingly, but it only made the bitterness of parting worse, making them laugh very embarrassingly.
Next, the two cherished each other, and then they parted ways.
Seeing Li Ronger's figure gradually disappearing into the dusk, Xu Zun felt lost, and his thoughts returned to Kuhe Wharf a day ago:
At that time, Xu Zun had just experienced a fierce battle in the Guanlan Hall of Yongxing Fort, so he rushed to the wine shop at Kuhe Wharf to look for clues about the murder of the ghost.
When he was sitting at the wine table, drinking and thinking, Li Ronger, who was seriously injured, came to Xu Zun regardless of her pain, grabbed the wine bottle and took a sip.
"My sister is dead," Li Ronger said to Xu Zun, "Help me find out the murderer behind the scenes, Sanhe Gang will help you!"
"It seems that Gang Leader Li also believes that Wan Qifeng is not the only murderer?" Xu Zun asked.
"From now on, call me Ronger!" Li Ronger said, "Mr. Xu, when you come here, do you think that Yan Sen and Tao Lang were injured by the ghosts, just like Wan Qifeng, and it was not the people around them who were injured?
It’s not a problem, but they themselves have a problem!?”
"That's right," Xu Zun nodded, "It seems we want to go together!"
"In this case," Li Ronger said, "let's go find Tao Lang and find out. If he is also the mastermind, then I can't spare him!"
"That's what I had in mind, but..." Xu Zun pointed at the wine cellar and said, "I'm just wondering, what's going on with that ghost?"
"Ghost?" Li Ronger asked, "Is it a artificially bred animal, such as... a big dog?"
"Even if it is..." Xu Zun turned to face the water and said, "The ghost jumped into the water first and disappeared. When Tao Lang came, it reappeared from the water and then disappeared again. If it was an animal, how would it be done?
Where did it arrive?"
"Oh...that's it!" Li Ronger stood up and looked at the pier, and said in an unusually crisp voice, "You don't know something, sir. Under the Kuhe pier, there are sluice gates and waterways built with stones a hundred years ago.
"The waterway is higher than the water surface, criss-crossing, like a maze, with many exits. I guess the ghost got into it, right?"
"Oh...I see..." Xu Zun nodded, then stood up, "In that case, let's go meet Tao Lang!"
After saying that, Xu Zun passed Li Ronger and walked outside the wine shop.
Unexpectedly, Li Ronger fell to her knees and said excitedly: "Master Xu, Ronger is guilty. I hope you will forgive me!"
"What?" Xu Zun turned around with a puzzled look on his face, "What's your crime?"
As a result, Li Ronger made a Xuanmen gesture and said in her mouth: "Go to the Xuan to defeat the aliens, and the gods will return to their origin. Cut off the nine sects at the top, and destroy the sycophants at the bottom!"
"Ah!?" Xu Zun turned pale, looked at Li Ronger in surprise and said, "You... you are from Xuanmen!!?"
