Chapter 403: The Conspiracy of the Criminal Ministry
Mao Xiaojian's head was full of black lines. He didn't expect Lu Changsheng to be so direct. He was still thinking of arguing directly after the incident.
But it is obvious that Lu Changsheng is not such an easy person to fool. If you are looking for a wolf to make a deal, you must first be prepared to pay the price, otherwise you will only be hurt.
Lu Changsheng is not a wolf, but he understands Mao Xiaojian's character very well. This guy is a shameless guy. Once he goes to the ghost prison afterwards, there is a real possibility that he will not be given anything.
That's why Lu Changsheng didn't want a promise, he wanted something real. Seeing Mao Xiaojian's stern expression, Lu Changsheng turned around and left: "It's okay if you don't want to. Let's go our separate ways now. You can go your own way."
, I'm crossing my single-plank bridge, you'd better not disturb me."
"No, can't I give it to you?" Mao Xiaojian was very helpless to Lu Changsheng. He didn't live long. The people he had deceived ranged from three-year-old children to teenagers, including those in their fifties and sixties.
Years old, or maybe an old monster in his seventies or eighties, who has never failed.
But he didn't expect to stumble upon Lu Changsheng. He smiled and continued: "To be on the safe side, I'll give you the front half first. When things are done, I'll give you the back half. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Lu Changsheng agreed without hesitation. He knew that he couldn't go too far. After all, things hadn't even started yet.
Then Mao Xiaojian fulfilled his promise and first gave Lu Changsheng half of the secret. He refused to give the remaining half to Lu Changsheng even to death. He also threatened Lu Changsheng that if he didn't have the remaining half, he would forcibly practice the first half.
, will only set you on fire.
Lu Changsheng did not force him, and Mao Xiaojian then began to tell him the origin of the innate Dzogchen who guarded the gate of the ghost prison.
Not only did Lu Changsheng not know it, but he was shocked when he mentioned it. According to Mao Xiaojian, this Innate Dzogchen is actually an old monster, and he was already an Innate Dzogchen a hundred years ago. His qualifications
He is even taller than Li Yuan, the Yuan Demon King of the Demon Sect.
But he had never heard Li Yuan mention that the Ghost Prison had such a guardian?
Mao Xiaojian seemed to see his doubts and explained: "Don't underestimate this guy, otherwise you will only regret it. It is said that his name is Bai Shenqiu. He used to be a judge in the Ministry of Punishment. He is also known as the black-faced ghost judge.
Long before the Demon Sect was unified, he was already powerful in the world of monks. At that time, the Ministry of Punishment was also in its heyday. Compared with the Yama of that generation, he was only higher or lower. This was a truly terrifying old monster, already infinite.
It’s close to the realm of King Wu!”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was also frightened. He was planning to leave his shell at night to explore the ghost prison. But now that Mao Xiaojian mentioned Baishenqiu, he immediately gave up on this reckless decision. Fortunately, he didn't rush into the ghost city all at once.
Stop killing, otherwise not only will people not be able to be saved, but their lives may be at stake here.
Anyone who is close to King Wu is still unmatched by him. At that time, Liu Changqing wanted to break through King Wu, and Lu Changsheng almost fell. If it weren't for the weird pill furnace to suppress him, and the serious injury in front, Liu Changqing didn't do well.
He was prepared to break through King Wu, so Lu Changsheng had the opportunity to take advantage of him.
But the aura of the King of Martial that overflowed at that time still makes Lu Changsheng feel uncomfortable, and no one is sure whether Mao Xiaojian's information is accurate. What if this Bai Shenqiu is already the King of Martial?
Lu Changsheng would never risk his life, let alone face a King of Martial Arts with his Yang Soul. This was a huge gap, not to mention that King of Martial Arts could already walk on the void. Although he was not flying, he could also fight against a Martial King.
Yanghun poses a huge threat.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel grateful to Mao Xiaojian. If this guy hadn't reminded him, it would have been doubtful whether he could escape safely tonight, let alone save others.
This made him feel a little guilty in his heart. Mao Xiaojian treated him so sincerely, but he treated Mao Xiaojian so much, and he always felt that there was something difficult about his conscience.
But when he saw the sly smile on Mao Xiaojian's face, Lu Changsheng felt a lot less guilty in his heart. This guy's smile always seemed to make people feel unreliable.
In fact, Mao Xiaojian was really trying to trick him. The reason why he told him this was because he was afraid that Lu Changsheng would be killed by Bai Shenqiu after only a few rounds, and his plan to go to the ghost prison to save people would be ruined.
"At that time, let's do this. You lure Bai Shenqiu away, and I will sneak into the ghost prison to save people. You only need to hold him for ten minutes. After ten minutes, you can go anywhere you want!" Mao Xiaojian said with a serious face.
He said it, but he was laughing obscenely in his heart because he felt that Lu Changsheng had been fooled this time.
But he didn't know that as soon as he heard Mao Xiaojian's strategy, Lu Changsheng could not help but feel wary in his heart. This was not to let him lure Bai Shenqiu away, but to let him fight with Bai Shenqiu.
Let alone winning or not, holding him back for ten minutes is enough for him to kill Baishenqiu or Baishenqiu to kill him. For a strong man, ten minutes can already do a lot of things.
It was obvious that Mao Xiaojian did not care about his life. He only focused on achieving his own goals and completely ignored whether Lu Changsheng was capable of achieving it.
Thinking of this, the guilt in Lu Changsheng's heart completely disappeared. Since this guy has such an idea, what does he have to feel guilty about?
Unless he knew that he could deal with Xiantian Dzogchen, or that he knew that he had killed Xiantian Dzogchen, but he believed that Mao Xiaojian would never know about this matter. Except for Gu Yueqin and a few close people, even Li Tong
I don’t know, even Li Yuan didn’t tell them, he just told them that he defeated Yama.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say!" Lu Changsheng nodded and said with a smile.
Mao Xiaojian finally felt relieved, and the two quickly parted ways, agreeing to take action after three o'clock, which is when people are most sleepy.
Night soon fell, and more and more people came to the ghost town. Lu Changsheng found many masters, but he didn't care.
At night, the ghost town looks particularly peaceful, just like a witchcraft village. There are some taboos that prevent people from going out.
But Lu Changsheng didn't think there would be any taboos here. Although it was named Fengdu Ghost Town, the people living in the ghost town were all living people, and these people were all Qi Refiners. If there were really any taboos, there would be no taboos.
Hell, the real possible reason is that some established rules are binding on people.
He was too lazy to take care of it. The fewer people there were, the easier it would be for Lu Changsheng to move. He put on the invisibility charm, walked through a few alleys, stepped up the simple bluestone steps, and arrived at the place agreed with Mao Xiaojian. He heard an owl hoot.
, led Lu Changsheng to a bush.
"Yes, you keep your word." Mao Xiaojian's voice suddenly appeared next to him. He didn't know what kind of concealment method this guy used, and even Lu Changsheng didn't notice it.
"I still want the remaining half of the Divine Thunder Cloud method." Lu Changsheng said casually. In fact, after returning to the inn, he studied the upper part of the Divine Thunder Cloud method.
He has Taoist books that can deduce, so he doesn't care whether Mao Xiaojian gives him the lower part. The reason why he came here is to enter the ghost prison and rescue Qianqian and Mr. Su.
"Hehe." Mao Xiaojian said with a sly smile, "Boy, as long as you help Master Dao and I accomplish this, I will naturally give you my lower body, absolutely."
"Yeah, it depends on me and I don't have a life to take, right?" Lu Changsheng replied in his heart, but whispered, "Don't worry when I do things, just follow our agreement during the day, you first hide near the door
Get up, and after you hide, I'll lure this guy away."
Mao Xiaojian nodded, but looked at Lu Changsheng strangely, and suddenly warned: "You kid, don't play any tricks on me, otherwise I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
"Well, don't worry, I also want the lower half of the divine thunder cloud." Lu Changsheng said seriously.
Under the darkness of night, he suddenly discovered that Mao Xiaojian was actually dressed as a monk at this time. His looming body was wearing a set of monk's robes. Like the robes he often wore, they were also in tatters. There were nine ring scars on the top of his head in a pretentious manner.
"What, are you planning to change your career to become a monk?" Lu Changsheng asked teasingly.
"Fuck you." Mao Xiaojian rolled his eyes at him, but suddenly put his finger to his mouth with a solemn expression and said, "Someone is coming, be careful!"
Lu Changsheng said nothing, but looked at the entrance of the ghost prison. He saw a middle-aged man in purple robe slowly walking to the entrance of the ghost prison.
He had a cold face and angry eyes. He wore a ceremonial crown and held a huge pen that was more than a foot long and half the thickness of an arm. When he walked to the altar at the door, he bowed his hands and said, "Cui Ming, have you ever seen Bai Bai?"
grown ups."
The old man at the altar slowly opened his eyes, Gu Jing glanced at Cui Ming without wavering, and asked: "How is Yama?"
"He is being healed in the pool of rebirth. His injury is not serious and it will be difficult to recover for a while." Cui Ming hurriedly reported.
"Is there really such a young man in the world?" The old man nodded and continued to ask.
"Yes, Master Bai. Now the ten major Qi Refining Sects all have a headache for him. It is said that Liu Changqing, the great elder of the Longhu Sect who ambushed him, Wang Song, the great elder of the Qingqiu Sect, and Master Hong Xuan of the Wanfo Temple are still missing. Yama Luo
They said they have probably fallen." Cui Ming said every word without daring to lie. Obviously, he couldn't believe it when he said this.
"Oh, is there any big reaction from the top ten Qi Refining Sects?" The old man was not surprised, but asked calmly.
"Most of the elders of the ten major Qi Refining Sects will gather in Fengdu Ghost City tomorrow. At that time, the Punishment Department will hold a meeting with their senior officials to discuss how to slay demons." Cui Ming said.
"Yes!" The old man nodded and then said, "Will the disciples and master of Taixu Temple also come?"
"Taixu Guan?" Cui Ming was stunned, then shook his head and said, "We haven't received a letter from Taixu Guan, and the descendants and masters of Taixu Guan have always ignored world affairs, so I'm afraid they won't come this time.
.”
"Oh." The old man nodded, but fell silent. Cui Ming did not dare to ask questions, nor did he dare to retreat. He just stood respectfully in front of the old man, lowering his head and waiting for orders.
After a while, the old man continued: "It would be best if Taixu Guan didn't come. It would be difficult to deal with it if he came. Yama Luo was hit hard this time, so the plan will be shelved for the time being. Since people from the Demon Sect have begun to appear, let's borrow
The hands of the Demon Sect, first weaken and weaken the power of the ten major Qi Refining Sects, it is best to make them both lose, so that we can also reap the benefits without so much effort!"
"Sir Bai is wise. This disciple is preparing to exaggerate the strength of the Demon Sect at tomorrow's meeting, and then..." Cui Ming sneered.
