The Black Tiger Gate General Altar is located in the south of Xianzhou City. It is a large courtyard with five or six entrances. The head of the Black Tiger, Chong Heihu, and his family live in it. The people coming and going on weekdays are no different from ordinary wealthy people's houses.
.Today is unusual. The dark gate is full of big men holding steel knives, all of them look serious and unsmiling. Usually there are some busy hawkers doing business on the street, but today they all disappeared without a trace.
It was as if everyone had made an appointment.
Li Tiezui walked a little staggeringly on the street. He was a little uncomfortable with the deserted streets. He was followed closely by two children. Among them, He Wangchuan was carrying a brocade box in his hand. Li Tiezui's seemingly distracted eyes were from time to time.
Scanning the tree crowns and some nooks and crannies on the roadside, some faint metallic light came into view, which seemed quite dazzling.
Not long after, he came to the front of the Black Tiger Gate Main Altar. There were several men blocking his way. The leader of the group swung his sword across his head and said coldly: "That Taoist priest, do you think you are not unlucky enough and want to die?"
faster."
Li Tiezui glanced at him and said: "Your Taoist master will die sooner or later, but it will definitely be later than you."
The leading man did not get angry when he heard Li Tiezui's provocative words. He snorted coldly and said, "Taoist, listen to me. We have some big things to deal with today. If you don't want to die, leave early."
Li Tiezui winked at He Wangchuan, and Tong'er handed over the brocade box. Li Tiezui said, "I'm not here to seek your bad luck today. I'm passing this brocade box to your head and saying that Li Tiezui pays my respects."
"
The leading man glanced at the brocade box and wanted to open it, but he saw the cold light flashing in Li Tie's eyes and finally gave up. He handed the box to a person behind him and he presented it to the inner hall.
It didn't take much, and I could only hear the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the house. Then the door opened, and a young man who looked like a scholar came out of the door. He looked at Li Tiezui, smiled, and said: "Li Xianchang, please come in."
After saying that, he made a gesture of please.
Li Tiezui was not polite, and he followed the scholar into the gate carelessly. The group of people walked along the carved corridor to the living room. In the hall, several imperial chairs were spread out in the shape of wild goose wings. Sitting on them was a middle-aged man with a curly beard, his head bowed.
, wearing a shiny soap robe, with several sturdy men standing behind him.
Sitting on the chairs on both sides of him was a young man. The man on the left was in his thirties, with a sallow face and a bulging storage bag tied around his waist. The man on the right was relatively younger, with handsome features and a similarly hanging waist.
There was a storage bag, and Li Tiezui immediately understood that these two were monks, and they seemed to have a fairly high level of cultivation.
He came to the center, clasped his fists at the bearded man and said, "Li Tiezui, from the small road, has met the leader of the Chong clan."
Chong Heihu looked him up and down for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I thought I was some kind of hero who chopped off the head of Duan Baldy. It turned out to be a fortune teller. Duan Baldy has been fighting with me for most of his life, and unexpectedly...
It really surprised me that I fell into your hands."
Li Tiezui didn't take it seriously, and immediately laughed and said: "Master Chong is just laughing at me. The person who killed Duan Xiude was naturally not a Taoist, but a Taoist friend of mine. I know that Brother Chong and Duan Tuzi have something in common.
I am so angry that I came here to inform you of this matter."
"Bah! You idiot, I'm afraid you don't have any good intentions. You killed someone and wanted to put the blame on me. Duan Baldy is nothing! If I wanted to kill him, I would have taken action long ago. I am only worried about the people behind him.
Master Gu Mu, that’s why you tolerate everything, are you trying to kill me with Gu Mu’s hand?”
Although Chong Heihu is born tough, he has been fighting in the world for more than 20 years and does not tolerate sand in his eyes.
"Hey, everyone says that Chong Heihu is an upright man. I, the old Taoist, have long wanted to make friends with him, but today I was disappointed. A mere ancient tree can scare you like this. It really makes the old Taoist laugh."
Li Tiezui said in a lukewarm tone, with ridicule evident in his words.
Chong Heihu's face changed several times, and finally he suppressed his anger and said with a dark face: "Taoist, there is no need to provoke me. If you have anything to say, you may as well speak up."
Li Tiezui glanced at the people in the hall and said nothing. Chong Heihu immediately understood and said: "Taoist, just say what you say. There are no outsiders in the hall."
Li Tiezui smiled and said: "Xiao Dao has just brought a joint method that can help the sect master get rid of his troubles. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
Chong Heihu nodded and signaled the Taoist to continue.
"I'm here to find someone to deal with Gu Mu. You come and deal with Gu Mu's guardians and disciples sitting down and the loose sand of the Youlong Gang. What do you think?"
When Chong Heihu heard this, he did not speak but fell into deep thought. At this time, the young man on the left spoke: "Sect Master, I heard that there are four disciples and two guardians under the Gumu Sect, and they all have foundation-building cultivators.
Why, it’s very difficult to deal with, if it’s just the remnants of the Youlong Gang, it’s no big deal.”
Hearing this, Chong Heihu said: "Taoist, you have heard it too. What the great elder of our sect said makes sense. There are six foundation-building monks under the ancient wooden sect and dozens of qi-training monks. Although our sect
It is known as the No. 1 gang in Xianzhou, but it is unable to deal with such troubles. I am afraid this deal will not work out."
When Li Tiezui heard this, the light in his eyes flashed, and the corner of his mouth turned up with a hint of disdain, and he said: "When did the master of the sect become such a mother-in-law? To tell you the truth, I have killed the eldest disciple Lu Gu and the fourth disciple Qingmu of the Gumu sect.
Even if you don't take action, Gu Mu will come looking for you in a few days, and the Gui Gang will be involved in Duan Xiude's death."
Chong Heihu's face changed. He thought carefully in his heart and felt that what the Taoist said made sense. He said, "You have no basis for what you say. How do I know that you killed two of Gu Mu's disciples?"
Li Tiezui laughed loudly when he saw that the matter was settled. He took out two black jade tokens from the bag at his waist and threw them over. The young man on the left seat grabbed them out of the air. The jade tokens seemed to be pulled by a rope.
It flew straight into his hand.
He looked at it for a long time and said to Chong Heihu: "Master, it seems this brand is genuine."
Two cold gleams suddenly flashed out of Chong Heihu's eyes, and a majestic aura came to Li Tiezui. Li Tiezui knew in his heart that the matter was settled.
Chong Heihu said: "Since you are so sincere, Taoist, I am afraid that I will not mess around in the world anymore. We might as well cooperate for a while, but I wonder if you already have an idea?"
Li Tiezui smiled and said: "What the sect leader needs to do is very simple. You go and declare a challenge to the Youlong Gang and make an appointment with them for a showdown on the mound outside the city in seven days. The Youlong Gang is now leaderless.
, when encountering this matter, you must turn to Master Gu Mu for help. Gu Mu relies on his identity, and he will probably only send a few disciples to help him. Then you just try your best to kill them. On the day of the duel, I invited all the Taoist friends to Shuangyi Mountain to eliminate Gu Mu.
I wonder what Master Chong thinks?"
Chong Heihu exchanged glances with the two elders around him, and then replied: "Okay, I will follow your plan, but until the war begins, I have to aggrieved the Taoist Priest to live in my Black Tiger Headquarters and cannot move around at will."
, if you don’t know where to go on the day of the attack, hey, if you give me a knife, I will have nowhere to explain."
"Okay, I'll fix the book, and you can send someone to Ma's old shop to ask for a Taoist friend of mine." Li Tiezui replied cheerfully.
Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan received Li Tiezui's letter and packed their luggage. The two of them looked at each other unintentionally. Chen Yunsheng's eyes were clear, but Liu Xiaoshan hurriedly moved away.
Chen Yunsheng suddenly said: "Xiaoshan, I think you will stay here. Black Tiger Gate is not a safe place."
Liu Xiaoshan's suppressed emotions for a long time finally broke out. She didn't know why she was so wronged. She obviously had the upper hand in everything, but her heart became increasingly empty. Two lines of clear tears ran down her uneven cheeks like beads.
The girl yelled, "Why are you treating me like this? After bullying someone, it's like nothing happened. And then you're so attentive."
Although the girl has more experience in human affairs than Chen Yunsheng, she only has a vague picture of things she has never touched. These few words are completely reasonable, but it makes people think endlessly.
If Li Tiezui was nearby, he would definitely pat Chen Yunsheng on the shoulder, with a smirk on his face. Most likely he would also tease Chen Yunsheng, saying that he would just eat and wipe it clean and leave it alone.
Chen Yunsheng was a little stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "When I was on the mountain, I annoyed a female leopard. Later, I couldn't bear to hurt her, so I threw her a wild boar to dispel her hatred. If I had annoyed you
The place, the Soul Gathering Baoyu will be given to you as a gift."
In his heart, the Soul-Gathering Baoyu was of extraordinary significance and its value was much higher than the jade itself. But somehow, in front of the girl's eyes, Chen Yunsheng seemed to have become a child again, and was willing to exchange this object for the woman's beauty.
Looking at Chen Yunsheng's handsome face, Liu Xiaoshan sighed and said quietly: "You are really beautiful. I'm not angry anymore. Even if the Black Tiger Gate is the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den, I will go with you. Don't forget, I already know a few things.
It’s a rough water method.”
…
When Chen Yunsheng felt that there was a strong murderous aura surrounding the general altar, he was always very sensitive to this kind of aura. Liu Xiaoshan looked much more relaxed, which made Chen Yunsheng very suspicious. She only said that her family was from a scholarly family. Could it be that
Have you ever seen this lady-like figure with such an aura at home? Or was she already frightened when she was robbed by thieves?
While he was thinking wildly, he had already arrived in front of the mansion. A group of people came in to report the news. After a while, Li Tiezui came out to welcome them. After saying a few words to Chen Yunsheng, he let them all in.
At this time, Chong Heihu had already set up the banquet, and several people were seated respectively as guest and host. During the banquet, several people, ranging from strangers to familiars, were chatting very animatedly. Li Tiezui made a half-truth and half-false nonsense, which made Chong Heihu look at him with admiration.
Chen Yunsheng was a little reserved at first, but then he gradually relaxed. He hung out with old people like Hei Gu and Li Tiezui, and gradually became more understanding of personnel matters.
Liu Xiaoshan, on the other hand, seemed a little absent-minded. He looked at Chen Yunsheng from time to time. When their eyes met, Chen Yunsheng clearly felt something strange, but he couldn't tell what it was. He was an open-minded person and was not very clear about the world, so he couldn't understand it.
