Chapter 1009: The Mysterious Shouling Family! (End)
"...I have met their clan leader a few times, and he should give me some respect."
Zhang Tong knew that Chu Rui did not mean to look down on him, but on the contrary, he did not want him to be involved. That is why a passionate man like him could not shrink back for such reasons.
"In that case, that's fine."
Looking at Zhang Tong's firm eyes, Chu Rui pondered slightly, nodded, and agreed.
"Whoever comes, stop."
When there were still five hundred meters away from the dilapidated stockade, suddenly, a loud shout came. At the same time, a faint murderous intention lingered, causing Chu Rui to pause instantly.
He raised his head and looked closely, and saw two high observation towers in front of the dilapidated village. At this moment, four people on the two observation towers were drawing their bows and loading arrows, aiming at them.
"I am Zhang Tong. According to yesterday's appointment, I brought the Shenlong Holy Pilgrimage here to ask for an audience with the clan leader."
Zhang Tong shouted loudly, signaling Chu Rui not to go any further and stand outside the five-hundred-meter boundary.
"Wait a moment, let me report."
The four patrolling people on the opposite side signaled down, and a man guarding the village gate immediately shouted and ran into the village.
Not long after, the man came back again.
"The patriarch has a distinguished guest, please."
After hearing the messenger's words, the four archers retracted their bows and arrows. Chu Rui and Zhang Tong stepped forward and entered the village under the leadership of the messenger.
This is a very dilapidated village. Not to mention its civilization, just from the environment, it is no different from a primitive tribe. It is really too poor.
Chu Rui followed the leader while observing the situation here. The people here, whether they are old people, children, or women and children, are all weird. The old people don’t look like old people, the women and children don’t look like women and children, and the children don’t look like children. They all just glanced at Chu Rui lightly, and then went to do their own things. The entire village was extremely quiet, so quiet that it could be said to be very strange.
Chu Rui's brows couldn't help but wrinkled. It was obvious that the strange situation here made him feel very bad.
If it is said that the elderly, women and children are like this, it makes sense, since they are all adults after all. However, children, who are innocent, romantic, and childish, are also like this, which is really weird and unpredictable.
Is this a village?
Chu Rui asked himself silently in his heart.
Not at all like that.
Looking at this place, Chu Rui thought of a place, a place he had been to, that was surprisingly similar to here.
Japan, military camp.
That's right, he once performed a mission to assassinate a senior Japanese general. On that occasion, he almost failed. Even though he used various methods to sneak into the military camp, however, the military camp was extremely weird, and all the soldiers Basically, they don’t speak more than ten sentences a day. Whether it’s training, eating, sleeping, or anything else, as soon as the instructor gives an order, they immediately take action without saying a word. The training intensity there is absolutely comparable to The most frightening thing about the training of the top special forces is that most of the people trained in that military camp are children, ranging from ** to teenagers. That task is the most difficult task Chu Rui has ever completed. One of the missions, even if the senior general is not strong, the difficulty of assassinating him is really too great.
Here, it's like that military camp, lifeless, like a walking zombie, without any vitality.
There is something weird.
Chu Rui's eyes did not change, but he became wary in his heart. In such a place, it is difficult not to make people feel wary.
"You two, the patriarch is inside, please come in."
The person who led the way brought Chu Rui and Zhang Tong to a wooden house, and then left straight away.
"Go in."
After the situation just now, Chu Rui didn't care about the weirdness of the guide. He just pushed open the somewhat broken wooden door and walked in.
The wooden house is large, but it is very deserted inside. From the outside, the wood looks shabby, but inside it is unique. Both the decoration and furnishings are very exquisite. At first glance, it seems that it belongs to a classy person.
In the wooden house, there was only one person, sitting high in the upper position, looking at Chu Rui and Zhang Tong who walked in.
"You are the messenger of the Dragon Emperor."
The man completely ignored Zhang Tong and just looked at Chu Rui condescendingly. He did not take him or the Dragon Emperor he represented seriously at all.
"You are the leader of the mausoleum-shou clan that guards the tomb of the First Emperor."
Chu Rui's expression was equally indifferent. He did not directly answer the guy's question, but asked rhetorically. Language is also an art. No matter what the occasion, it will play a vital role. Like the situation just now, if Chu Rui If you answer him, you will fall into his language trap. If you continue to answer along with his train of thought, it will be difficult to regain the initiative. Now, both parties are stable, which is a fair dialogue.
"Yes, at such a young age, you have such strength. No wonder Emperor Shenlong would be so assured of you."
The appearance looks exactly like a country man, but his elegant and pure temperament seems to be the leader of the Shouling Clan who is a master of Taoism. He doesn't answer the question, but looks at Chu Rui and evaluates him.
Chu Rui's pupils shrank slightly, and he became more vigilant. This guy actually saw his strength clearly at a glance. In this situation, there are only three situations. First, he is pretending to be acting, but the probability of this situation is Not even one percent; second, that is, like Chu Rui, he has a special pupil technique that can see through the enemy; third, that is, his strength far exceeds his own, so that he can do this.
Chu Rui completely believes that this guy is definitely far stronger than himself, because he can't see through the patriarch of the Shou Ling Clan, whose appearance and temperament are completely different.
"Please also ask senior to let me enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."
Chu Rui took a deep breath, said nothing more, and directly stated his purpose. For such an old monster, if you threaten and lure him, you are just looking for death. If you flatter him, he will absolutely ignore it. The only thing that can make them take notice. Apart from the powerful suppression, only they themselves know.
"Let you enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, haha..."
The leader of the Shouling tribe gently stroked the chair wrapped in white tiger skin and laughed strangely.
"Senior, please allow me."
Chu Rui did not speak, but Zhang Tong mustered up the courage to stand up. Even though he was too weak under this weird momentum, he stood up firmly and helped Chu Rui say good things.
