These two monks who suddenly arrived were obviously Songhou and Liu Jing who escaped from the valley of Yangping Mountain that day.
On that day, Shi Guanghan and other six people planned to kill Ximen Hao, but Liang Yan and Jin Yuye disrupted the plan. Three of the six people involved in the operation died and three escaped, and they were missing after that. But they did not expect that today Liu Jing and
Songhou will gather here, and looking at their appearance, except for Songhou's broken arm, which cannot be restored, all other injuries seem to have recovered.
It's just that although these two people have recovered their skills, they are kneeling on the ground tremblingly at this moment, not even daring to make a sound. On the contrary, the fishing man and the man in Confucian robes stood by the stream in silence, not knowing what they were thinking.
What.
"Haha, I already know everything." The man in Confucian robes turned his back to the two of them and suddenly said: "You can't blame you for this. The monk named Liang Yan is not from our Wu Kingdom. He is usually very low-key, so much so that even I
They all looked away."
When Songhou and Liu Jing heard him say, "You are not to blame for this," their expressions were obviously relieved. They were about to kowtow and thank you again, but heard the man in Confucian robes slowly speak again:
"As the leader of the Lingbao Pavilion in the Wu Kingdom, Liu Jing has been working hard and doing a lot for your Majesty over the years. Although he missed the mark this time, there is no punishment. As for Songhou."
Songhou was well aware of this person's character. When he heard his change of topic, he immediately turned pale with fright and defended himself: "Although Song established his own business as a casual cultivator, he has been loyal to your Majesty over the years.
There is hard work even without merit."
"Oh? Loyal?" The man in Confucian robes chuckled and said, "Are you saying that you are also loyal when you went to ask that man surnamed Liang in the middle of the night for the 'Thread Fairy' to break the poison in your body?"
After hearing what he said, Marquis Song's expression immediately changed. Then, before the man could finish speaking, he jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran away into the distance without looking back.
"hey-hey!"
The man in Confucian robes seemed to have expected it. At this time, he just smiled and did not pursue. Instead, he stabbed the folding fan in his hand and opened it.
The fleeing Songhou suddenly shook his body and fell from mid-air.
"Damn Gu worm!"
Song Hou clenched his teeth and tried hard to restrain the backlash of the Gu worms in his body, but he was still unable to do so. The mobilization of spiritual power became slower and slower, and soon he could not even use the flying escape technique.
He gritted his teeth and turned around, wanting to say something begging for mercy to the two people by the stream, but he saw the man in Confucian robes slowly turning around, revealing a slightly thin face.
If Liang Yan were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the storyteller "Mr. Tan" who was talking eloquently in Zuixiang Tower that day!
It's just that his face is dull and calm at the moment. He has completely lost the passion he had when he was telling the story that day. Instead, he looks like an indifferent spectator.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation!"
When Songhou saw him turning around, he hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself, but in his haste, he unexpectedly made eye contact with this man.
In an instant, Song Hou, who was originally anxious and restless, actually calmed down and just stood blankly in mid-air, seemingly at a loss.
Under the skin of his body, there were many bumps the size of fists rising one after another, distorting Songhou's appearance into something less than human.
boom!
There was an explosion sound, and Songhou's whole body exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air, and the blood that exploded seemed to be spiritual and hovered in the mid-air until "Mr. Tan" looked away.
Blood poured down from the air, dyeing the stream below red.
Liu Jing on the side looked at the Songhou who was walking with her just now, and instantly turned into a pool of blood mist. She couldn't help but feel scared in her heart and lowered her head even lower.
At this time, "Mr. Tan" had already looked away and turned to look at Liu Jing, only to hear him say lightly:
"You don't need to worry. As long as you do your best for your Majesty and don't play small tricks like Songhou, I will ensure that your path to Taoism will be smooth!"
"Yes!" Liu Jing didn't dare to be disobedient at this moment. She could only lower her eyebrows and bow her head in response.
"Mr. Tan" seemed quite satisfied, nodded and said: "You have done well before, but after this incident, the Wenxiang Sect behind Lingbao Pavilion must be alert, and this time they will definitely send people to Wu State to find out the cause.
, you can no longer return to Lingbao Pavilion."
"That subordinate" Liu Jing said with a puzzled look on her face.
"It doesn't matter!" Mr. Tan waved his hand and said: "I have another task to give you here. I know that in order to survive this time, you have used the Tribulation Gu gifted by Your Majesty. But as long as you complete this task properly,
, I can intercede with your Majesty and let him help you plant another Tribulation Gu."
Liu Jing's face lit up when she heard the words "Replacing Tribulation Gu". Even though she was a little suspicious of this insect before, she was not sure of its effectiveness. But this time she was able to survive from Liang Yan's sword, all thanks to this "Replacing Tribulation Gu"
"Gu", now there is no doubt at all. He quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed to Mr. Tan to thank him.
"Okay, you go down. I will hand over the details of the mission to you in a few days." Mr. Tan said expressionlessly.
"yes!"
Liu Jing agreed, not daring to stop for a moment, and immediately took control of the escape light and flew towards the distance.
Mr. Tan watched Liu Jing fly further and further until she disappeared, and then he sighed softly and said: "I didn't expect that after all the hard work this time, I still fell short. I really want to take action myself and kill this Ximen Hao."
.”
After hearing this, the man in black who was fishing just laughed and said: "You also know that it is impossible. Once we take action, there is a risk of exposing our origins. The Emperor's Palace is not a vegetarian, and those old immortals have been tracing more and more closely in recent years.
Already."
Mr. Tan nodded and said: "I know that your Majesty is always cautious in his actions and cannot tolerate any mistakes. That's why I tried my best to provoke a fight among the monks within the Kingdom of Wu."
"Haha, you are a smart man, you naturally know what to do." The fishing man in black said, suddenly raised his head and looked at the flying birds in the air, and then moved his right index finger lightly, and a wild goose screamed from the air.
It fell down.
"It's just that your Majesty doesn't like people who are too smart. What Your Majesty likes are people who are absolutely obedient."
After the man in black finished speaking, there was no sound in the mountain stream. Only the sound of the gurgling stream and the whine of the wild goose in mid-air were heard. When the wild goose landed on the boulder by the stream and fell into a puddle of flesh, it turned out that
The figure of the man in black has disappeared from the fishing place, leaving only "Mr. Tan" wearing a Confucian robe, with a thoughtful look on his face.
