261, gap, half of the weapon-making materials are missing
A strand of hair fell in front of Zheng Jiuhou's eyes.
His face was pale and his eyes were full of fear.
At this moment, his mood was completely shattered.
It is no longer important to rebuild Sima Dongtian, defeat Zhou Shu, or dominate the world.
He finally knew how big the gap between himself and Zhou Shu was.
"Three swords, this is the third sword. You didn't kill me. You have to keep your word!"
Zheng Jiuhou roared heartbreakingly.
Zhou Shu looked at Zheng Jiuhou, who had completely lost his mind, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Don't worry, I keep my word."
Zhou Shu said.
The golden mask on Zheng Jiuhou’s face is really interesting.
The illusory figure that just blocked his sword for him...
Zhou Shu recalled the illusory figure just now. He was sure that he had never seen that figure before, but for some reason, that figure still gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
If you can block your own sword, even if it is destroyed by the light of your own sword, the opponent's strength is certainly not weak.
You know, that illusory figure is just a little magical power carried on the golden mask.
The person who made the mask was stronger than Zhou Shu imagined.
"I'm leaving. I'm leaving now. From now on, I will never be your enemy again!"
Zheng Jiuhou shouted in despair and staggered forward.
"Buzz——"
A ray of light fell from the sky and directly bound Zheng Jiuhou in place.
"Zhou Shu! What are you going to do! You can't keep your word!"
Zheng Jiuhou shouted in panic.
"I just said that if you are still alive after three swords, I will spare your life. I did not say, let you go."
Zhou Shu said coldly.
"You——"
Zheng Jiuhou's face was full of panic. He was not a fool. When Sima Dongtian was still there, what conspiracy and tricks had he not seen?
I immediately understood what Zhou Shu meant.
Even if you survive, if you are imprisoned for the rest of your life, what is the difference between death and death?
Zheng Jiuhou didn't think that in this situation, Zhou Shu would feed him well!
"Prince Zhou, let me tell you everything about the mask organization. How about you let me go?"
Zheng Jiuhou covered his chest. Although he survived, Zhou Shu's two swords still caused him serious injuries. The wound on his chest is still bleeding to this day.
If it weren't for the fact that the vitality of the Pseudo-Dao Realm was far beyond that of ordinary people, he would have died several times.
Now, he has nothing to hold on to. He just wants to leave here as soon as possible and go as far as possible.
He never wanted to see Zhou Shu's face again.
"What you want to say now, but I don't want to hear it anymore."
Zhou Shu said, "Zheng Jiuhou, betrayal requires a price. You should reflect on your actions first. When you understand, I will give you a chance to make amends."
After saying that, Zhou Shu reached out and waved his hand, and Zheng Jiuhou had been taken into the inner space of the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
There are multiple heavens and earths in the Heavenly Emperor Sword. Some of them were used by Zhou Shu to store weapons-making materials, and the rest were used to imprison a Zheng Jiuhou, which was more than enough.
Inside the Heavenly Emperor Sword, Zheng Jiuhou wanted to come out, unless Zhou Shu died...
After Zheng Jiuhou disappeared, a drop of blood suddenly floated where he had just been.
Then it turned into a little white light and fell on Zhou Shu.
Zhuang Zhou’s dream of a butterfly!
Countless scenes flashed through Zhou Shu's child's eyes, and then those scenes suddenly became fragmented like glass.
His expression returned to clarity, and a look of surprise appeared on Zhou Shu's face.
"It can actually block my Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly!"
Zhou Shu said to himself that he had just used Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Mental Technique on Zheng Jiuhou.
From the time Zheng Jiuhou was born until he became the warehouse guard of Huaxia Pavilion, Zhou Shu relived the experience in his dream. Everything was normal and there is no need to repeat it.
But just when he came into contact with the mask organization, Zhou Shu's Zhuang Zhou Mengdie Mental Technique suddenly failed.
Zhou Shu woke up from his dream and did not come into contact with any information about the mask organization.
To be precise, a person appeared in front of Zheng Jiuhou without speaking. A pair of eyes seemed to see into the depths of Zheng Jiuhou's soul, thus making Zhou Shu's Zhuang Zhou Mengdie Mentality ineffective.
"Is that person the one who made the mask? It's a pity that I couldn't see his face!"
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
Just looking at each other in the dream, Zhou Shu didn't even have time to see that person's face clearly.
But think about it, he may not show his true face to see Zheng Jiuhou.
For such a mysterious organization, if you think about it, you will know that Zheng Jiuhou will definitely not know too many valuable things.
"I think, Zheng Jiuhou must have used our Huaxia Pavilion's weapon-making materials to make a deal with the other party. The other party healed his injuries and helped him improve his cultivation."
Zhou Shu said to himself, "That man gave Zheng Jiuhou a golden mask. Zheng Jiuhou probably didn't want to be a slave before, so he never wore it. Today, after being defeated by me, he chose to wear the mask..."
"A mere golden mask can actually elevate a person's cultivation to the level of pseudo-Taoist realm. How many such masks are there in the world?"
Zhou Shu suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Before meeting Zheng Jiuhou, although Zhou Shu knew about the existence of the mask organization, to be honest, he never regarded the mask organization as a threat.
He was just a little angry, angry that despite the peaceful world that countless ancestors had paid for with their blood, there were still people who were stirring things up behind the scenes.
Nowadays, the people of the Ancestral Land are not able to sit back and relax. Both the Ancient Heavenly Court and the City of Divine Weapons are eyeing the Human Race of the Ancestral Land. If they are not careful, the Human Race of the Ancestral Land will be doomed.
At this time, what the people of the ancestral land need is to work together to resist foreign enemies, not fight among themselves!
The mask organization has caused chaos in the ancestral land. It would be strange if Zhou Shu was not angry.
But before that, Zhou Shu had always felt that it would be very easy to uproot the mask organization.
Now, he is not so confident.
This mask organization is much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
This golden mask can elevate a person's cultivation to the pseudo-Tao realm. Not many warriors can resist this temptation.
Zheng Jiuhou can insist on putting on the mask until now, which is considered to have strong enough willpower.
Zhou Shu remembered that he had read a book called Swordsman of the Swordsman in his previous life. In it, people were willing to commit suicide for a book of swordsmanship to ward off evil. Some people were even so impatient that they couldn't bear to commit suicide after waiting for a few days after the wedding.
.
For warriors, becoming stronger is an irresistible temptation.
The realm of false Taoism is a realm that is almost impossible for a warrior to achieve even with a lifetime of hard work, but it can be easily achieved by wearing that golden mask. How many people can resist this temptation?
How many golden masks does the mask organization have?
How many powerful human beings has he bewitched?
What is his purpose?
Since Zheng Jiuhou was injured, he has been working as a warehouse guard in Huaxia Pavilion, almost never leaving home.
Even he was bewitched by the other party. It is conceivable that among the strong people of the human race, there is definitely more than one Zheng Jiuhou.
Zhou Shu only just discovered this mask organization. He didn't know how many years this mask organization had existed.
I don’t know how many years it has existed, nor how large it is now.
We don’t even know who its founder is.
Zhou Shu suddenly discovered that this mask organization had become a huge threat to the people of the ancestral land!
"This ancestral human race is not my own human race. It was preserved by countless martyrs with their lives. No one is allowed to destroy it."
Zhou Shu frowned and said to himself, "I don't care how deep you hide it, I will definitely dig you out!"
"Boom——"
While Zhou Shu was thinking, a loud noise suddenly sounded in his ears.
When I looked up, I saw many people gathered outside the warehouse.
Meng Bai, Mi Ziwen, Sun Pingping, Yang Hong and others are among them.
Zhou Shu had just fought with Zheng Jiuhou. Although Zhou Shu had isolated the internal and external atmosphere, this was Huaxia Pavilion after all. The slightest movement had already attracted their attention.
After a while, almost all the experts gathered around.
"It's all gone, it's okay."
Zhou Shu waved his hand to break the restrictions around him and spoke to everyone casually.
"Prince? Are you out of seclusion?"
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Zhou Shu appear, but they all relaxed.
It turns out that the commotion just now was caused by the prince. Since the prince is here, there must be no problem.
Everyone bowed to Zhou Shu and then dispersed, each going about his or her own business.
In the end, only Yonzi On and others, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, stayed.
"Your Majesty, what happened? Where is Mr. Zheng Jiuhou?"
When there were only a few people left, Mi Ziwen didn't care and asked directly.
Nowadays, the remaining few people are all members of Zhou Shu’s team who have been with Zhou Shu since the earliest days, and they are all trustworthy brothers of life and death.
Zhou Shu looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have locked up Marquis Zheng Jiu."
He explained the cause and effect of the matter.
Mi Ziwen is his sworn elder brother, and Meng Bai has been taking care of him since he was young.
The remaining Sun Pingping and Yang Hong are also his life and death friends.
If these people have been infiltrated by the mask organization, then Zhou Shu will admit it!
"My lord, are you saying that there is a mysterious organization among our human race, and what is it doing behind the scenes?"
Yang Hong interrupted, "Is this the terrorist organization you mentioned before, Your Majesty?"
"So to speak."
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "They killed thousands of ordinary soldiers at once in Daxia Mizhou City just to pollute the dragon veins."
"Doing that will not do them any good except to make the world full of demons and disasters, and it will not do them any good. This is the terrorist organization I said."
"Mask man..."
Mi Ziwen said thoughtfully, "We have never seen each other before."
Several people were lost in thought. They were all senior leaders of the human race. They had been leading the powerful human race to fight against foreign invasions over the years. They actually did not have much contact with the ordinary human race.
"If it is true as the prince said, then they may have penetrated into many places."
Meng Bai pondered, "But their characteristics are also very obvious, and their faces are covered with masks. In this way, it will not be difficult to investigate them."
"You may not necessarily wear a mask on your face."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, Zheng Jiuhou was not wearing a mask from the beginning, and Zhou Shu felt that the mask organization might have other ways to hide the mask on his face.
"But we still need to investigate. The people in this mask organization are a little crazy. If we don't find them out, if they stab us in the back when we are dealing with foreign enemies, the consequences will be unbearable for us." p>
Zhou Shu said with a solemn expression.
"Old Zhou, I remember you told a story before. There was a general in ancient times. Because he looked like me and was so handsome, he was afraid that the enemy would not be afraid of him when he went into battle, so he liked to wear a mask with a ghost face."<
/p>
Sun Pingping touched his chin and said.
"King Lanling."
Zhou Shu nodded. When he and Sun Pingping were drinking and chatting before, they had indeed exchanged some words.
"Yes, this is Prince Lanling. Do you think this mask organization has anything to do with Prince Lanling?"
Sun Pingping said, "Otherwise, why would they use masks to identify themselves? Don't they find it inconvenient to wear masks on their faces?"
Sun Pingping's thinking was so divergent that even Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, the mask is a magical weapon that has the functions of a tightening curse and a universal knowledge card. In theory, it does not have to be a mask, and it can be cast into other shapes.
Instead, it is cast into a mask to make it more conspicuous, so that people can see the abnormality of the masked person at a glance.
This mask may have some special meaning to the person who cast it.
"King Lanling is just a legend, there is no King Lanling in history."
Zhou Shu said, King Lanling was just an ordinary person in his previous life and had nothing to do with this world.
However, Sun Pingping also reminded him that this may also be an investigation direction.
"No matter why the other party likes to wear a mask, this mask organization must be dug out."
Zhou Shu continued, "You already know about this matter. You don't have to worry about the ten countries. I will go there myself."
"Since Zheng Jiuhou has been instigated by the other party to rebel, there may be more than one person in Huaxia Pavilion who has been bewitched by the mask organization. You should pay attention to the investigation."
Zhou Shudao.
Everyone's expressions became a little solemn, and they said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if there are traitors, we will definitely dig them out!"
Everyone was also a little disappointed.
Zheng Jiuhou, who didn't attract anyone's attention at all, turned out to be a stronger man than them, and he even did such a thing behind his back.
If it weren't for Zhou Shu, they wouldn't even know that Zheng Jiuhou had stolen so many weapon-making materials from Huaxia Pavilion behind his back.
"Where's Wuyou?"
Zhou Shu looked around and did not see Yin Wuyou and the others.
"The princess has gone to receive a new batch of materials for making soldiers."
Meng Bai said, "Your Majesty, if the other party has been stealing the weapon-making materials from our Huaxia Pavilion, then Zheng Jiuhou has a problem, and other warehouse guards..."
"I have already checked the other warehouses. Except for Zheng Jiuhou, there are no problems with anyone else."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "They should be cautious enough. After all, the warehouse is an important place. If there are too many of their people, they will be discovered easily."
"Why didn't Shi Songtao come over either?"
Zhou Shu continued to ask.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Shi and the Weaponsmith of Huaxia Pavilion have been doing something lately. They haven't shown up for many days."
Yang Hong said, "I met him last time, and he said they were researching some new weapon-making technique. He looked sloppy, and I don't know if he had done anything."
"A new art of forging weapons?"
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them for now. I'll tell you now what's suspicious about the masked man organization."
Zhou Shu continued to analyze with them who might be the instigators of the Masked Man Organization.
The biggest doubt is naturally the cultivation level.
If a person's cultivation level suddenly improves too much, it is definitely abnormal.
There are other doubts.
Everyone analyzed for a long time, and then started to take action.
Huaxia Pavilion is their foundation, and no traitors are allowed to exist.
Everyone regards this matter as a top priority and does not want to delay it for a moment.
"Huaxia Pavilion is my territory after all. Even if the other party instigates rebellion against Zheng Jiuhou, I'm afraid he won't be able to instigate many people here."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
The people in Huaxia Pavilion have all experienced life and death with Zhou Shu. Zhou Shu doesn't believe how many of them will be incited to rebel.
Most of them are still worthy of belief.
The hardest hit area of the masked man organization should be the Ten Kingdoms Continent.
Most of the warriors in the Ten Kingdoms Continent are not very qualified. Their martial arts future is limited. In their lifetime, they may not even reach the Earthly Immortal Realm.
For such a warrior, the allure of the mask will be even greater.
Moreover, within the ten countries, Huaxia Pavilion does not pay much attention, and the masked man organization can develop its own power secretly without being discovered.
"They have made such a big noise in Michigan, I'm afraid they won't give up easily."
Zhou Shu muttered to himself, "For so many years, the Masked Man Organization did not take any action. Now, do they feel that their strength is enough? Or do they feel that the time has come?"
"It seems that I have to go to Mizhou. The Dragon Vein matter will eventually be resolved."
Zhou Shu said in his heart, "Also, the lord of Mizhou City was so confident that he was loyal to King Zhennan. How did this masked man organization make him believe it?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu no longer hesitated, turned into a ray of light, and headed towards Mizhou City.
……
Just when Zhou Shu returned to Mizhou, a lot of information had been placed on the throne of Emperor Yuan Feng in the capital city of Daxia.
"Are you saying that over the years, half of the army-making materials donated by the ten countries to Huaxia Pavilion have gone to unknown sources?"
Emperor Feng Yuan's expression was extremely solemn and he asked in a deep voice.
The intelligence chief in front of him was hunched over, with an incredible look on his face.
"Yes, I have repeatedly checked and checked the quantity with people from Huaxia Pavilion. It is true that half of the weapon-making materials are missing."
The intelligence chief said.
"Why hasn't such a big thing been discovered before? Haven't you ever contacted Huaxia Pavilion before?"
Emperor Yuan Feng held back his anger and said.
"This matter is not under my control."
The intelligence chief said tangledly, "However, I have also investigated secretly. There is no problem at all with the process of countries providing materials for casting troops to the Huaxia Pavilion. I have not yet figured out which link went wrong."
"If you haven't figured it out, then go figure it out! Check it out for me! No matter who it is, check it out for me. I'll give you the right to kill first and report later!"
Emperor Feng of Yuan Dynasty said angrily.
