While they were drinking and drinking, a female martial artist suddenly came in and reported: "To report to the four masters, someone has sent a letter on behalf of the employer. I would like to ask the four masters to read it."
After speaking, he handed the letter to Pei Kang first.
Everyone put down their cups and chopsticks and looked at Pei Kang.
Pei Kang glanced at it and read the letter, then gave the letter to Jiang Yao and the other three people to read it again.
The content of the letter is very simple, with only one sentence:
"I'm glad to hear that your army has won a great victory over the Bashu River. I send you a special letter to congratulate you. If you have time, please go to the ashes of death for a while."
The signature is: Jiuzhenjia.
"Where is Bihuigong? What is the origin of the Jiuzhen family? It's really baffling." Pei Kang said with an unhappy expression.
He always hated these hidden behaviors.
Everyone shook their heads. They were not ignorant. As the top leaders of Xuanfeng Army, their knowledge was far better than that of ordinary people.
But they had never heard of a place called Death Huigong, and neither had the Jiuzhen family.
Since I have never heard of it, it must be an unknown place and an unknown person. The other party is so simple, how can they take it seriously?
Jiang Yao thought in his mind that the place name of Death Huigong was really weird and seemed to have a deeper meaning.
As for the Jiuzhen Family, does it refer to the mysterious force composed of nine Wu Zhen?
If this is true, then the strength of the Jiuzhen family is too strong, with nine martial arts.
Ji Xin said in a deep voice: "Not only is the other party's letter pretentious, but its posture is also too high. Even if they really have nine real people, they are not qualified to win in front of my Xuanfeng Army. Gongming, what do you think?
"
Jiang Yao thought for a while and expressed his guess:
"The ashes of death seem to have the intention of resurrecting and making a comeback. Could it be that this Jiuzhen family is a down-and-out underground force with the intention of making a comeback?"
"It doesn't matter that they asked us to take the initiative to meet them. They only mentioned a weird place name without telling them the specific address. I'm afraid this is a test to see if we have the ability to find this dead man. Humph, this Jiuzhen family's wife
Take yourself seriously."
Da Qi Zhenren Brocade also nodded and said: "I think so too. Brother Ouyang's guess should be quite accurate."
"Then it's hard to guess." Pei Kang shook his head, "Over the years, there have been many forces that have fallen into decline, and there are also many people who want to make a comeback. Who knows who? Since the other party is not sincere, we don't need to pay attention to it."
"That's the truth." Ji Xin also said, "If you are really sincere about making friends with my Xuanfeng Army, you should tell me frankly and take the initiative to go up the mountain. What's going on? Don't bother with it."
Suddenly, a Wu Zong stood up and raised his hands and said: "Four real people, this dead gray man, although my subordinates don't know the specific location, they have heard of it."
This person's name is Zhan Jiulang, a tomb director of Qiu Shan Tang, and the representative of Qiu Shan Tang stationed in Daming Mountain. After Qiu Shan Tang secretly defected to the Xuanfeng Army, Zhan Jiulang took his subordinate tomb repairers and stationed in Daming Mountain to build a
The Xuanfeng Army exploits resources.
"Tell me." Pei Kang became interested, "You are a tomb cultivator and have been to many strange places. Even you have only heard about it, which shows that this place is very secretive."
Zhan Jiulang showed a strange expression, "About a hundred years ago, my subordinates and Hall Master Yang, who was the head of the tomb at the time, practiced in an ancient tomb deep in the Yinghuo Forest."
The so-called practice in ancient tombs is, of course, tomb robbing.
"Everyone knows that the Firefly Forest is a very scary place. There are many powerful ominous things in it, and most people don't dare to enter it."
Jiang Yao also became interested. He had heard of the Firefly Forest, which was close to the Wujian Desert. It was about 70,000 to 80,000 miles away from here.
The Firefly Forest is not that big, with a radius of at most five thousand miles, and its name sounds beautiful. However, its reputation for evil spreads far and wide, and it is one of the four most mysterious and terrifying places in the Western Region.
There are many weird and scary legends in the Western Regions, many of which come from the Firefly Forest.
But I heard Zhan Jiulang continue to say: "A group of thirty-six of us, as many as Tiangang, formed an anti-evil formation. After several frights, we suddenly saw a city deep in the depths."
Everyone had strange expressions. Although they knew little about the Firefly Forest, they also knew that there was no city at all in it, only tombs and ruins in the dense forest.
"We knew immediately that we had encountered a big evil. We were in the Tiangang Anti-Evil Formation at that time, and the ones with the lowest cultivation levels were all Martial Lord Perfection, and all the tomb cultivation tools were available. Hall Master Yang was already a martial arts master at that time, and there was no need to worry about the evil at all.
Can't cause trouble."
"Master Yang immediately burned his essence and blood, activated the magic bell, and intended to leave. But at this moment, two soldiers came out of the city and invited us to enter the city to rest."
"Those two soldiers didn't look weird at all. What's even more strange is that we had no intention of rejecting them at all."
When Jiang Yao heard this, he also felt his heart tremble. Tomb cultivators have many powerful methods to resist evil spirits. The Tiangang evil evil formation formed with Wuzhen's tomb cultivators as the core has the power to be invincible to all evil spirits.
But even so, he still got the idea. This shows how powerful the evil spirit is.
"We knew it well at the time, but we followed two soldiers into the city. The city was very prosperous, with all kinds of industries. The casual cultivators inside also looked very nourished, and everything was peaceful, and they looked like those of the martial arts clans.
The city is very different."
"When everyone saw us, they smiled warmly and said that we were visiting again. A little girl even ran up to me and gave me a piece of fruit for me to eat."
"We just followed the two soldiers in a daze and entered a gorgeous mansion called Xisheng Mansion. Then, we were taken to a magnificent hall. On top of the hall, sat a very noble man."
"The soldier told us that this was Master Xisheng. Master Xisheng did not have any arrogance. He asked us very kindly where we came from, what we were doing, whether the resources were sufficient, and whether we needed help."
"We answered one by one and didn't hide anything. When Master Xisheng heard that we were tomb builders, he darkened his face and said that it was unlucky to steal someone's tomb and asked us not to do it again."
"Then he said that it was rare for guests to come, so he ordered us to hold a banquet to entertain us with wine and food. He said that the spiritual wine is offered by the dead ashes, and the spiritual food is also offered by the dead ashes. It is very delicious, and we must try it."
"That kind of spiritual wine and spiritual food is indeed very delicious and unique. We have only seen it in our lives, and we can't even name it. We just thought, what kind of place is that dead ashes that can serve such wonderful food?"
"After the banquet, we said goodbye. Lord Xisheng generously rewarded us with a lot of spiritual wine and spiritual food, and asked us to take them back to our families to taste. He said that these things can only be offered by the ashes and cannot be found anywhere else."
"When we left the city, many people came to see us off, and they were extremely enthusiastic. The little girl even waved to me and said she would come back next time."
Even though Zhan Jiulang was standing here calmly describing events from more than a hundred years ago, everyone felt uncomfortable hearing this.
Obviously, this story is not over yet.
"After we left the city, we were about to retreat along the same route when we suddenly found a city in front of us. Two soldiers came out of the city and invited us to enter the city to rest..."
"...The little girl gave me a fruit and asked me to eat it..."
"...the soldier said, this is Master Xisheng..."
"...Master Xisheng said that it is rare for guests to come, so he ordered a banquet to be held... It is the spiritual food and spiritual wine offered by the dead ashes..."
"...When we left the city, many people came to see us off. The little girl waved to me and said she would come back next time..."
"...We were about to evacuate along the same route when another city appeared in front of us. Two soldiers came out and invited us to enter the city to rest..."
…
"...The little girl waved to me and said she would come back next time..."
When Zhan Jiulang said this, even though more than a hundred years had passed, he still showed palpitations.
"The cycle goes on like this, again and again, seemingly forever. We don't know how many times we have had banquets. From the beginning, we felt it was extremely delicious, until we felt sick when we saw it, until we vomited after eating it."
"For nearly a year, we have been repeating the same thing. Everyone is going crazy. We are just repeating it numbly and without resistance, like a nightmare that will never wake up."
Master Daqi couldn't help but ask: "Then how did you get rid of it?"
Zhan Jiulang smiled bitterly, "That day, we were vomiting and eating spiritual food uncontrollably. Everything was the same as usual. But something suddenly changed."
"A soldier came in to report that a dead man had come to offer sacrifices again. Master Xisheng was very happy. He laughed with everyone. They laughed and laughed, and their jaws dropped to the ground."
"Then, Master Xisheng and his ministers picked up the chin and pressed it on it, and continued to laugh. After laughing, Master Xisheng sent us out of the city as usual."
"This time, I didn't see anyone seeing anyone off. I didn't see the cute little girl who scared me either. She should have gone to welcome the dead people."
"This time we finally walked out and left that terrible place. Thinking about it now, that is the last thing I want to think about."
"That is, from that time on, Hall Master Yang and those of us who have experienced this suddenly changed our previous thoughts for some unknown reason."
"Before this, we tomb cultivators only thought about robbing tombs to make a fortune and looking for resources and magic weapons. But since then, we actually had the idea of rebellion and began to accumulate resources to resist the martial tyrants."
After hearing this, Pei Kang said with great emotion: "I used to find it strange that you Qiu Shan Tang, a tomb cultivator, would sincerely join the Xuan Feng Army and follow us to fight against the Wulord. It turns out there is this reason."
Ji Xin also looked thoughtful, "Who is that Master Xisheng? Is he a powerful ancient spirit? This kind of weird and mysterious method is really terrifying."
Although he has lived for hundreds of years and has seen a lot, this is the first time he has heard of such a powerful evil spirit.
Being able to play with the Tiangang Anti-Evil Formation with Wuzhen Tomb Cultivation as its core in the palm of his hand and tease it wantonly shows the terror of this evil spirit.
Zhan Jiulang shook his head, "I don't know who Master Na Xisheng is. Perhaps he is an evil spirit born from the evil spirit after the death of an ancient strong man, or he is originally a powerful evil spirit."
Jiang Yao said: "So, maybe Death Gray is in the Yinghuo Forest?"
Zhan Jiulang replied: "Based on my subordinates' speculation, it's probably in the Yinghuo Forest. However, the Yinghuo Forest is complicated and harsh, and its geographical rules are also weird. It's very difficult to walk in it."
"Even if you are really good at martial arts, you can only travel three to five hundred miles a day. There is a radius of five thousand miles, so it will be difficult to find a mysterious place."
"Forget it, don't think about this matter, and we won't publicize it, so as not to cause trouble." Daqi Zhenren said, "As for this letter, we will pretend that we have never read it."
After the banquet, Jiang Yao returned to the Grand Army Master's Cave and immediately took out the Pisces Jade Pendant to see what changes had taken place under the power of his wish.
As soon as his consciousness was detected, he unexpectedly sensed a piece of information.
A message from the Pisces Jade Pendant Spirit!
