The leading middle-aged Taoist priest came forward with a worried look on his face and said with concern: "I didn't hurt you."
"No."
Zhang Qiying shook her head and said: "Junior brother is very powerful. Uncle Xing, what is going on?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest named Xing Mu, also named Shuanglin, was originally a servant of the Zhang family. He was later adopted as an adopted son by Zhang Heng and became Zhang Lu's adopted brother.
He is loyal and diligent, and never regards himself as Zhang Lu's step-brother. He is cautious and prudent, and has won the trust of the Zhang family.
Xing Mu explained: "Master Shi returned to Motian Ridge this morning with the rare treasure [Suppression of Evil Peak]. There are thirteen levels of restrictions on it, which require all the masters in the sect to crack before they can control it. Master Master, Sijun, and Saint Aunt are still here
There were rams offering wine and we were retreating in the back mountain, but this thief came to steal the treasure while watching the emptiness in the door! Fortunately, we had the [Silk Array], so we discovered it in advance and laid a trap. Unexpectedly... we almost let him.
If I run away, I might even hurt you..."
Xing Mu sighed and said with shame, "It's me who is incompetent..."
Zhang Qiying said hurriedly: "It's none of Uncle Xing's business. It's just an unlucky coincidence that I came back. Besides, I wasn't injured, so Uncle Xing shouldn't blame himself."
"..."
Xing Mu smiled bitterly and looked at Zhang Qiying, his eyes full of love and guilt.
At this time, other disciples had captured the man in black, took a pipa hook and pierced the pipa bone, and escorted him away.
"I'm afraid it's not just treasure stealing..."
Lu Jing stared at the man in black and said: "He uses Jiulizhai Qinggong "Four Ghosts Flowing Wind". I have seen this kind of Qinggong in Pang Ye, son of Pang Xi. I'm afraid this person's identity and purpose are not simple.
."
Xing Mu's eyes flashed with admiration, and he looked at Lu Jing: "This is..."
Lu Jing clasped his fists and introduced himself: "Junior Lu Jing, Lu Dongting."
"oh."
Xing Mu suddenly realized, his expression became more cordial, and he said: "It turns out that I am a master of Fan Jijiu, and I have heard about the name for a long time. The holy aunt has given instructions before retreating, and ordered me to prepare the room first. In this case, there is no need to be polite. The good nephew will be removed first.
Qisha, you are protecting the saint again today, I will report back truthfully and ask for merit for you."
Lu Jingdao: "As it should be, what merit is there? Senior, you are polite."
Xing Mu was even more satisfied. He stretched out his hand and said, "There are many people here. Let's go in first. Let me elaborate on the details."
"good."
Lu Jing took Wang Shuang and Hu Cong up the steps.
The disciples dispersed and returned to their original positions, each performing their duties.
Three thousand steps were quickly passed.
Lu Jing and others entered the main altar gate and saw the scenery inside the mansion clearly, which was even more stunning than from a distance.
The mansion is full of exotic flowers and plants, which is truly exquisite and elegant.
Zhang Qiying happily introduced Lu Jing as she walked.
The mansion faces south as a whole, with the palace gate, the second gate, and the private hall as the central axis. It has Daoqi Changcun Hall, Wendao Hall, Xuantan Hall, Jianping, Zangbao Pavilion, Zhengyi Xuantan, etc.
The Daoqi Changcun Hall is where official affairs are discussed in the government hall. Wen Dao Hall is used to teach martial arts.
In the center are the bronze statues of the Supreme Being, Hou Tu, and the Five Emperors. After that are the private residences, the residences of the disciples, and the wine-sacrifice.
At this time, many disciples were dealing with the traces of the previous fight. They saw Zhang Qiying coming over, calling her a saint, and her attitude was respectful.
Xing Mu led several people across the road and entered a secluded courtyard in the back hall, which was also a place that had been prepared for Lu Jing and others. Then he began to explain the ins and outs:
"Three months ago, Master Shijun took advantage of the Seven Evils to go out and attack Brazil. He captured and killed Pang Xi, destroyed Fenglei Villa, and avenged the blood of his wife and young master. This move was very satisfying, but it also laid many hidden dangers..."
Xing Mu sighed: "Pang Xi has been working hard in Brazil County for more than ten years. Although the big tree has fallen, its roots are very deep! In these more than ten years, Pang Xi has made friends with many local wealthy families through bribery or marriage.
Near Danqu, the Xi tribe split, and some of them broke away from King Yi and became Pang Xi's private soldiers. His family members and former officials are spread across eight counties in Brazil! However, this is not the most troublesome thing. He also secretly colluded with Jiuli Village..."
Jiuli Village is one of the best among the southern barbarian forces and should not be underestimated.
Lu Jing and Zhang Qiying's faces straightened.
Xing Mu said: "As my nephew said, Pang Xi's son, Pang Ye, even secretly became a disciple of Tanhua, the right protector of Jiuli Village, and entered into a marriage contract with Feng Xiao, the daughter of the village owner, to show that the two families would form a permanent alliance. Feng Xiao also gave away
The treasure of Pang Ye’s town is [the soul-enchanting poison]...Liu Jijiu just ignored it for a while and died from this poison..."
While talking, he looked at Lu Jing.
Lu Ding nodded and said: "Then it fell into my hands and I used it to control Pang Ye, with the help of Tianleizi, except Diao Weng and the Guanchang Sword."
"This matter was reported back to the main forum, and we all admired it very much!"
Xing Mu touched his palms and praised: "My wise nephew is so talented and extraordinary!"
"Senior, it's Tianleizi who is so awesome."
Lu Jing said modestly and said thoughtfully: "So, that man in black is just trying to avenge Pang Xi and Pang Ye?"
"Yes, similar incidents have occurred no less than ten times."
Xing Mu took out a box from his arms and put it on the table. After opening it, there was a red centipede inside, which was very similar to Pang Ye's one.
But the amazing thing is that it actually has a pair of transparent dragonfly-like wings on its back!
Lu Jing frowned and said, "This is... [Wind Centipede Gu]?"
"That's right."
Xing Mu said solemnly: "The purpose of the man in black was not just to steal treasure, I also found this Gu insect behind the door knocker of the Treasure Pavilion... Thanks to the preparations made by Saint Aunt, she gave me the [Poison Avoidance Bead" in advance
】, as soon as it got close, the wind centipede Gu reacted and found it, otherwise... I'm afraid someone would follow Liu Jijiu's footsteps!"
Xing Mu looked frightened.
Lu Jing and Zhang Qiying also felt frightened and couldn't defend themselves.
Xing Mu said: "Just to deal with it, I was a little slow. I failed to catch up with the person in time after sneak attack and hurt the saint..."
"Uncle Xing, please don't do this."
Zhang Qiying interrupted him and said: "The most important thing is to deal with this poison, otherwise it will be too dangerous! What happens next is unexpected, Uncle Xing does not need to worry..." As he said that, Zhang Qiying frowned and said strangely:
"But...how did he know that his father was back, and that he would break the ban on exotic treasures with his second uncle, aunt, and others in the back mountain, and the defense in the mansion was empty, so he deliberately chose this time to release the Gu insects..."
Lu Jing thought to himself, what else could be the reason? Of course someone tipped off the news! Anyway, either there are spies in the headquarters, or there is a problem in Brazil!
Can obtain this information...
This person's position is not low...
"This will require torture and interrogation."
Xing Mu clenched his fists and said with a cold face: "It is very likely that there is a supernatural power inside and outside! We must find him out!"
"You can ask Hu Cong to help with this matter."
Lu Jingdao: "He is very good at this now, and there is nothing he can't pry open."
"good!"
Xing Mu smiled and said, "Then please trouble him to come with me. It would be best if you can really gain something."
"It seems that Brazil County is in crisis."
After hearing the cause and effect, Lu Jing sighed secretly: "This Jiuli Village has so many magical powers, I'm afraid the master is also in danger. Plus, Liu Bei is eyeing the upper reaches of the Jialing River and may come down the river at any time. Langzhong is suffering from internal and external troubles. No wonder there is a shortage of people...
…”
The risk is high.
But at the same time, this is also an opportunity.
"Taking such a big risk, Zhang Lu first abandoned his master, then sent his aunt to repair it. This time, he asked him to accept orders in danger. When he was in danger again... he caught a sheep. If he didn't give him something big, I'm afraid it wouldn't be justified...
"
Lu Jing played with the teacup, his face was dull, and he thought to himself: "It depends on Zhang Lu's sincerity. I want to become stronger, and if you can afford it, then I will help. If I can't afford it... you'd better give it if you can."
