Quan Jiuwei withdrew his gaze and had nothing to say.
He knew very well what kind of person his adoptive father was.
If you don't run away, you are not Chong Menhui.
Yang Guanxian looked at Old Sect Leader Gu and asked worriedly: "Old senior, why did you suddenly mention my second brother? Is it... something happened to my second brother?"
Old Sect Leader Gu smiled: "No, no, I have seen Taoist fellow Taoist Yang Changshan in Lingfeng Mountain before."
"Ah?" Yang Guanxian was surprised, "Senior, have you seen my second brother?"
"Yes, he looks almost exactly the same as you, but he is much thinner," Old Sect Leader Gu said, looking towards Quan Jiuwei, "Chong Menhui ran away as soon as he said it, leaving a lot of brothers behind. Even you
They couldn't withstand our trial at first, let alone these 'brothers'. They have told everything they know, including Zhang Puxiang's family, the former Minister of Rites of Xizhou Prefecture, under your coercion.
It also includes the fact that your original plan for the Grain Rain day was accidentally ruined by Yang Changshan. If this plan goes bad, won't you be angry and blame others?"
Yang Guanxian said: "Ah? Co-author, am I the one who was angered?"
"Yes." Old Sect Master Gu nodded.
Yang Guanxian covered the wound on his lower abdomen, paused, and glared at Quan Jiuwei: "Quan Jiuwei! When we were at the Huiping Pawn Shop, you and I were not close, but we were brothers in the Blood-slaying Alliance.
, I have given you money more than ten times! I am not grateful to you, but I have never harmed you! Now you actually want to kill me out of anger! You wolf-hearted thing!"
"It's useless to scold him," Sect Master Gu said. "His character is such that no matter how much you scold him, he will remain indifferent and won't feel even the slightest bit guilty."
Yang Guanxian was suddenly startled at this moment and looked at Old Sect Leader Gu again: "Senior, have you ever asked if they have harmed my second brother? Where is my second brother now?"
"They have this plan, but they can't spare the manpower to go to Lingfeng Mountain for the time being."
Yang Guanxian breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
With that said, Yang Guanxian looked at Manager Leng: "Manager Leng, slap him twice again!"
Manager Leng raised his hand and hit Quan Jiuwei on the face, twice with front and back slaps.
Quan Jiuwei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and glared at Manager Leng with a ferocious look.
Manager Leng didn't blame him. He raised his hand to represent himself and gave Quan Jiuwei the third loudest slap in the face.
Yang Guanxian felt relieved. He turned towards Old Sect Leader Gu, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Senior, from the mouths of those comrades in Quanjiu Dimension, can you tell me what their plan is and how my second brother accidentally hit me?"
An accidental collision ruined their plans."
Old Sect Master Gu nodded and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
Yang Guanxian took it, and Mu Tingyu stood up and came over to take a look.
"It's a map." Yang Guanxian said.
"Well," Elder Gu said, "the highest mountain in Mingtai County is called Jixing Mountain. Jixing Mountain is a vast mountain range that occupies most of Xizhou and includes all the mountains in Xiaozhou. There are many large and small mountains on Jixing Mountain.
There are nearly twenty temples and Taoist temples, one of which is called Yuetang Temple. The pole star platform on the back mountain of Yuetang Temple was once as famous as Lingyun Peak in Yeshan Mountain. However, later, Yuetang Temple declined."
Yang Guanxian had heard of this, but he didn't know the details: "Old senior, why did it decline?"
Old Sect Master Gu sighed: "It has been in decline for hundreds of years. I have only heard of the reason, but I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that the successive masters of Yuetang Temple were among the royal nobles who could see through the world. When the Zhang Dynasty died, they had a family feud.
Suffering from national hatred, the sect gradually dispersed."
"There is another theory," said the old man who barely spoke at the side, "that there is a giant human-eating beast on the mountain."
Mu Tingyu asked: "Demon?"
The old man said: "Fake."
Old Sect Leader Gu looked at him: "It's fake, why don't you show it and say it."
The old man's face was calm: "My eldest disciple has been there before," after a pause, the old man added, "I went with Shen Lie."
Old Sect Leader Gu remembered: "I know that they went up the mountain. They were chased by officers and soldiers, and they almost got Master Dan Guan's Sihai Teahouse in Xucheng ransacked."
The old man said: "What does it mean to be almost involved? If you do evil, you will be punished by an official and a soldier. My disciple has not caused any trouble."
Old Sect Master Gu quickly said: "Okay, okay, please tell me, what is that giant human-eating beast?"
"Actually, it was a loud noise," the old man looked at Quan Jiuwei, "Why the loud noise, do you know the reason."
Quan Jiuwei was afraid of the old man. It had nothing to do with the old man's previous reputation, but the pain of being imprisoned in the cellar for so many days made Quan Jiuwei deeply realize how vicious this old man was. He knew torture better than anyone else.
how to write.
"Answer me." The old man said.
Quan Jiuwei's teeth seemed to be aching again. He took a deep breath and said: "Well, there are no monsters or monsters, it's just a mechanism. This mechanism only works on a sunny day. When the sun is shining all the time, those things will be destroyed."
The wood of the ironware is hot and swollen due to the sun. If it gets stuck in the corresponding hole and pulls the rotating shaft of the mechanism, a loud noise will occur."
Old Sect Master Gu raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like the institution should be very huge."
Quan Jiuwei nodded firmly: "It's as big as five restaurants like yours."
Elder Gu asked: "Then what is the purpose of building this mechanism?"
Quan Jiuwei said: "This mechanism was built three hundred years ago. At that time, the officials of Xizhou and Xiaozhou deliberately wanted to reorganize Yuetang Temple. That mechanism was to scare the world away again and let Yuetang Temple
He has always been independent."
The old man asked: "Who built the mechanism?"
Quan Jiuwei raised his eyes and looked at the old man, and whispered: "Yes, the Jin family. Do you know the Jin family, right?"
The old man didn't answer and looked at him indifferently.
Yang Guanxian moved the map in his hand and asked Old Sect Leader Gu: "Senior, could it be that my second brother went up to the Yuetang Temple on Jixing Mountain?"
Elder Sect Leader Gu said: "Since you are the eldest brother, you should know that he has been living in seclusion these years and will only come around the Qingming Festival."
"Well, could it be that he went to Xingxing Mountain in Xucheng during Qingming Festival this year?"
"And he also opened the stone door that this group of people had been planning to open."
Yang Guanxian was stunned and turned to Quan Jiuwei: "What is behind the stone gate?"
Quan Jiuwei said coldly: "We have never gone in, how do I know?"
"How did you know it was my second brother who drove it?"
Quan Jiuwei shut up in disgust.
Yang Guanxian shouted: "Manager Leng, beat him!"
"I said!!" Quan Jiuwei roared, "The stone door is also a mechanism. After every time it is opened, the next opening needs to be recalculated, because there is a weird-looking hourglass inside the mechanism. As long as the stone door is opened by someone,
Once it sinks once, the hourglass will be turned upside down. My adoptive father said that the hourglass looks like hundreds of pens thrown together, and the time it takes to sink back to the bottom depends on the star trails and star patterns displayed on the stone door.
It is extremely difficult to calculate. If you don't want to do the calculation, just wait another three years. Otherwise, if you open the stone door before the hourglass sinks to the bottom, you will turn the hourglass upside down again, and the time you have waited will be wasted. "
Mu Tingyu couldn't help but sigh: "This mechanism is so exquisite."
Elder Sect Leader Gu said: "The more subtle thing is that not only is the hourglass reset, but after it is opened once, the keyhole is also reset."
Yang Guanxian raised his eyebrows: "Senior, what you mean is that the key to the stone door must be found again?"
"Well, the key is even harder to find." Old Sect Master Gu looked at Quan Jiuwei who was slumped on the ground. "The key is a rune drawn on the paper one after another. Light up the paper with ten runes in length, short and wide.
Wrap up the seals of different thicknesses and engrave the runes on the paper. The seals will become the key to opening the stone door. Three of them are needed each time. You have to accurately calculate which three they are. If
If you open it wrong... the hourglass built into the mechanism will be reset again."
Yang Guanxian was dumbfounded: "Seal ten new coins, choose three from the ten. What about the runes? How many of these runes?"
"At least twenty," Old Sect Master Gu sighed, "Twenty runes, each corresponding to ten seals, a total of two hundred keys, choose three from them."
"Wrong," said the old man, "the three keyholes will be exactly the same. You need three identical keys, so a total of six hundred are needed."
"Oh my God, my second brother actually opened such a difficult door?!" Yang Guanxian frowned, "Then, my second brother probably didn't open the door by mistake. It's impossible for such a stone door to be opened accidentally.
!”
Old Sect Leader Gu smiled and said: "What I said was unexpected, it means that he accidentally offended this group of people. Look, wasn't the wound on your stomach caused by anger?"
Yang Guanxian's hand touched his lower abdomen again.
For such a large project, you know how many years of preparation it takes. If someone gets there first, you will be so angry that your hair will fly off.
Although he didn't understand, he understood why Quan Jiuwei wanted to stab him.
"I finally figured it out." Yang Guanxian said in a low voice.
Old Sect Leader Gu smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Hu: "Xiao Hu, the file was sent from Jingzhao Mansion yesterday. Thank you for your hard work and get it."
Shopkeeper Hu responded and quickly brought it.
In the file, there is a murder case that Quan Jiuwei left in the capital.
Old Sect Master Gu handed it to Yang Guanxian: "This case has been decided, and this guy did it too."
Yang Guanxian took it, read it word by word, and said in a low voice: "It's so cruel, no wonder," Yang Guanxian looked at Quan Jiuwei, "no wonder you left the capital suddenly without saying a word!"
Mu Tingyu had been staying close to Yang Guanxian. When he saw that the name of the final approver of the dossier was "Zhu Xian", goosebumps all over Mu Tingyu's body stood up.
Quan Jiuwei answered Yang Guanxian with a sinister smile on his lips.
"This is just one of them," Elder Gu said. "This man is extremely vicious and has killed countless evildoers. He has destroyed countless sects and killed countless innocent people. This man deserves the most vicious death penalty in the world!"
Quan Jiuwei still sneered, pretending not to care or risking everything, and looked at the old man: "I've heard that you, an old man, never kills people. Why, you want to kill me too?"
The old man looked at him without any warmth in his eyes, and it was more like he didn't hear his words.
Quan Jiuwei couldn't smile anymore. He clenched his fingers and realized that he was not asking the old man to answer the question of whether to kill or not.
Rather, he was simply insignificant in the old man's eyes, and he didn't bother to prove himself to him, nor did he bother to talk to him.
