Chapter 24 What's Hiding

Ma Jun had no plans at all for this mission to fight against Netherworld.

Just like when Meng Xiaochuan mentioned this matter to him.

Slowly, Jingqian began to recall the scene of that day and what Meng Xiaochuan said before he sat down.

No one knew what kind of secrets were hidden in the Tianding Tower, but as he walked to the tower, Ma Jun gradually became interested in what was inside.

The three ghost soldiers who led the way took them back to a pavilion near the Tianding Tower to sit down. Soon they saw the tea messenger coming to them carrying paper and pen.

"Everyone, the Netherworld Escort does not allow night guests. If it is a business, please write down the transaction on the paper. I will report it to the confidential room!" The envoy who came spoke very gently. He put the pen and paper in front of Ma Jun. Then, he picked up the kettle on the table and filled the tea for several people.

Ma Jun took a general look around, pointed at the first floor of the Tianding Tower and asked, "Can I watch it?"

"this…"

The envoy was in a dilemma because even he himself had never seen the Tianding Tower in his twenty years of living here, let alone these guests who wanted to go up there.

Fortunately, he was tactful in dealing with matters, so he had heard the elders talk about the facilities in the tower before. For this reason, he once felt complacent in his various errands because he knew some things about the tower.

Seeing the embarrassment, Ma Jun stopped talking, expecting that this yellow-haired boy wouldn't be able to know the secrets of the Nether Master.

Ma Jun held up the water glass, smelled it and smiled: "Forget it if I don't know, I don't really want to see it!"

After hearing this, the envoy seemed to be hesitant to speak. Yuan Sengdao saw what he meant. He moved to Ma Jun's seat and asked the envoy, "It's a pity that the old man's life I just heard about the magnificent built-in scenery, but I couldn't see it with my own eyes. It's really a pity. If I go back this time, I will definitely go back with regrets!"

"Hey, could you guys lend me a moment to talk?"

Well, the job has come, and of course the emissary didn't want to let it go. He took the elder's arm and said, "It's cold here. How many of you would like to invite to sit in the next room?"

The elder gave Ma Jun a look, and Ma Jun immediately understood. He took the pen and paper on the table and smiled and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Whether he was kind or not is another matter, but apart from a black cat, there was only a shabby table and three stone benches in the so-called house.

As soon as the few people sat down, the messenger put the teapot on the table with a warm smile. Then he walked to the door with cat steps and took a sneak look around before closing the door.

Ma Jun asked: "Did the envoy invite us here?"

The messenger smiled sheepishly at first, and then said:

"To tell you the truth, I was not originally from the Escort Bureau. It was just because of the war that I had no place to go. The kindhearted Escort Bureau ghost brought me back! But now I want to leave here, but I find that I can't. Get out! So I thought, hehe!"

"When you say that, I really feel that this escort agency is not as rumored by people in the world. When I asked you about Tianding Tower just now, you seemed to have something to say?"

"Well, if the shopkeepers can agree to take me out, I can tell you a thing or two about what I know about the tower."

Before Ma Jun could speak, Jing Gan asked: "As far as I know, you are not qualified to enter the tower. How can we know whether what you said is true or false? If we say something wrong, you can turn around and tell the judge If you retaliate, then even if we jump into the Yellow River, we won’t be able to get rid of it!”

After listening to Jinggan's words, the messenger suddenly said with a pleading voice: "Every shopkeeper, please believe me. Although I am not qualified to know about Tianding Tower here, I have at least been here for many years. Just rely on what I heard." I also know more than the average person. I only ask for one purpose. When you leave, you can take me with you!"

The desperate desire for survival in his eyes could not escape Jingqian's eyes. Finally, after pleading hard, Ma Jun agreed to his request in order to detect more carefully.

He immediately knelt down and bowed, and said excitedly: "I will never forget the great kindness of these shopkeepers. If you leave here, you can do anything you want!"

This messenger was originally from the Guazhou area. He had no father or mother since he was a child. He grew up with cattle and horse traders, so his master named him Niu Wa'er.

From Niu Wa'er's mouth, he learned that this Tianding Tower had already stood here when he was very young.

At that time, the place would be very lively every full moon day. At midnight on that day, cattle and sheep would be killed to pay the highest tribute to the Fire Sage at the top of the sky.

However, ten years ago, due to some important assignments in the escort agency, the judge above almost fell out with the soul master. After the soul master left, the owner of the Tianding Tower became the Yin and Yang judge. There is no such thing as praise.

Even so, the two judges still kept in contact with the soul master. No one knew what happened.

Most of the selections for the Nether Escort Bureau's prominent positions are held at Tianding Tower. However, the Escort Bureau has become a lot deserted in the past few years, so the selection ceremony has also been cancelled.

In the past, each floor of the eight-story pagoda had an owner, and the Netherworld Escort Bureau was able to deal with any affairs in the world with ease due to the careful division.

But within two years, the tower became empty, and vocal music could only be heard occasionally.

Therefore, some respected elders will also reveal some things about the tower during the banquet.

According to an elder, after the famous Qi Sect was wiped out, the tower was sealed, and the reason given for the sealing was that it was too cold at high places, and the Netherworld Escort Bureau should have kept a low profile.

"But then gradually no one mentioned this matter anymore. When Elder Faqi met with Judge Yang, I overheard that it turned out that they had never fallen out with the Soul Master at all. The so-called ban was just to facilitate the Soul Master's practice. Magical power!"

After listening to what the messenger said, Jing Gan couldn't help but feel a chill in his spine and said, "So, the Tianding Tower is just for one person to practice martial arts? Is it called Netherworld Destruction Dao Kung Fu?"

"Yeah, that's right! I heard that the matter of destroying the famous Qi Sect seems to be related to this magical skill. I guess the real reason why Tianding Tower is not allowed to enter is that it contains a large number of Qi Sect's Qi Sect cultivation secrets!"

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Jing Gan alertly grabbed his wrist and asked, "You know that the Netherworld Escort Agency is powerful, why did you reveal this to us? Do you know something?"

The messenger looked at Jing Gan nervously, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "I won't tell! I definitely won't tell! Although some of them are dressed like businessmen, I can tell by the way they walk and behave that some of them must be in the world. You are so classy! Because businessmen don’t behave as heroically as you do!”

What an envoy, he was able to see through the identities of several people in just a moment. While Ma Jun was still surprised, Jinggan immediately shouted: "Leader, it's time to make a decision. The little envoy can identify that old and spicy judge." Since you don’t know it at first glance, you will surely know our purpose when you look back!”

"We still don’t know where the Soul Master is!"
