In the middle of the night, a letter was delivered to Gong Lince. His disciple reported that he did not know who sent the letter.
Gong Lince looked through the envelope and saw that there was no name on it. To prevent fraud, he carefully opened the envelope and poured out the letter paper inside.
Under the light of the moon butterfly, I shook off the letter paper and took a look at the contents of the letter, my brows gradually furrowed.
The letter slowly closed in his hand. After thinking for a while, he put the letter away, stood up from the desk, called his disciples to come closer and whispered, and gave secret instructions for a while.
Later, the three bird mounts took advantage of the night and left. Gong Lince said that he wanted to inspect the Zijin Cave area in person, but in fact he left with a group of guards.
The disciples in the sect do not doubt that there is any problem. It is normal for the master to personally inspect the defense measures of Zijin Cave. Sometimes he will do the inspection without saying hello, including the elders of the sect. The purpose is to prevent the disciples on duty from becoming paralyzed.
slack off.
On the way out, Gong Lince was filled with doubts.
The letter was from Piaomiao Pavilion, saying that he was invited to see something secret, and told him not to reveal the secret, and to go to the destination alone.
It was unrealistic to send a random letter saying that it was from Piaomiao Pavilion and just want to see him. However, the letter had the exclusive special mark of Piaomiao Pavilion and was difficult to fake, so he had to come to find out what was going on under suspicion.
After a long flight, as he neared his destination, Gong Lince began to make arrangements.
The three birds carried the people and circled away separately, and ordered people to set up an area around the destination to make preparations for support and response in the event of an emergency. Then he flew alone and rushed to the destination.
Even though the person making the appointment was using the name of Piaomiao Pavilion, and although it was unlikely that the spiritual practice community would dare to pretend to be Piaomiao Pavilion, how could he go on an adventure alone without being able to completely confirm the authenticity.
Not only did he arrange manpower to prevent unexpected events, but before going out, he also prepared a few extra Heavenly Sword Talisman on him just in case.
After flying over several mountains, it soared into the sky and landed directly on the top of a mountain, exactly where Guan Fangyi and Yuan Gang had visited before.
The people they had met were still there, waiting quietly under the big tree.
Falling under a few big trees on the top of the mountain, Gong Lince's eyes locked on the man standing under the tree with his hands behind his back. In his sleeve, his fingers had already clasped a Heavenly Sword Talisman as a warning, and he asked for advice: "I summon you late at night, I don't know how to respect you.
Which nobleman from Piaomiao Pavilion is he?"
Niu Youdao slowly turned around, looked at the other person with his eyes, and after confirming that the person who came was Gong Linche, he smiled and said, "Master, you are fine."
The voice sounded familiar, and Gong Lince asked suspiciously: "Who is your Majesty?"
Niu Youdao raised his hand, tore off the disguise on his face, revealing his true face. The moonlight through the branches of the tree crown just shone on his face.
Gong Lince was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly opened and he lost his voice: "Niu Youdao...is it you? You...you're not..."
"Shh!" Niu Youdao pointed to his lips, signaling him to whisper.
Gong Lince's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty. He slowly stepped forward and looked closely.
Niu Youdao: "The leader has no need to doubt, it cannot be true or false."
Just say that the voice sounded familiar, yes, it was Niu Youdao's voice! Gong Lince said in disbelief: "How could it be you? Didn't you die in the holy realm?"
Niu Youdao cheered, "What's all the fuss about? It's obvious that he faked his death to escape."
Gong Lince asked suspiciously: "Is it the arrangement of the Holy Realm?"
Niu Youdao chuckled and looked around, "This is an inexplicable invitation. The leader must be on guard. I don't know how many people have been brought here?"
When he found out that the person he met was Niu Youdao, Gong Lince felt relieved and replied: "Don't worry, you are not around. You won't get close without my call. They won't find out that you are alive." He instinctively suspected Niu Youdao.
Are you performing some secret mission in the Holy Realm? "Is it you who sent me the message?"
Niu Youdao: "It's me, are you surprised?"
As a result, Gong Linche further confirmed his guess and asked: "What's going on? What is the purpose of the Holy Realm arranging for you to fake your death?"
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, I said that I faked my death to escape, and it has nothing to do with the arrangements of the Holy Realm. Can the Nine Saints let me fake my death? Let's make it clear, I escaped from the Holy Realm.
of."
Escaped? He said it so lightly! Gong Lince looked serious, "Elder Niu, this joke is not funny at all. I am telling you something serious."
Niu Youdao was puzzled. It's hard to win people's trust these days when telling the truth, "Master, do I need to make such a joke?"
Gong Lince didn't believe it, "Does the Holy Land allow you to escape whenever you want?"
Niu Youdao was really inconvenient to explain this question, so he said vaguely: "Of course there are people inside the holy realm who can help."
Gong Lince: "Elder Niu, this kind of thing is not a joke. What is going on?"
Others had preconceptions, so Niu Youdao simply stopped talking and asked: "The boss asked me what happened, but I want to ask the boss what happened. Why, as soon as he heard the news of my death, he started to bully me.
Are you here?"
Gong Lince's expression froze. He felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned this. He didn't expect that Niu Youdao actually faked his death. "You are a smart man. Everyone knows some things well. There is no point in explaining more. Now that you don't have
If you die, I will give you an explanation later. Now let’s talk about your affairs. You came to me suddenly. What is your order?”
Niu Youdao looked back, stretched out his five claws, took a stone from under the tree into his hand, and handed it to Gong Lince, "I brought a small gift from the Holy Land to the leader. I guess the leader won't know how to do it."
dislike."
Stone? Gong Lince was puzzled. After weighing it, he found that the weight of the stone was abnormal. He cast a spell to investigate and found that there was something else inside.
"Don't open it in a hurry, it's too conspicuous here." Niu Youdao stopped him and waved his hand, "Master, please follow me."
Gong Lince didn't know what he was going to do, so he flew with him, and when he landed on the mountainside, he discovered that there was a natural cave on the mountainside, which showed that the other party had already explored the nearby terrain beforehand.
Niu Youdao went straight into the cave. Gong Lince stood at the entrance of the cave and hesitated. He was obviously wary of the dark cave and did not dare to enter easily.
"Don't worry, I won't invite the leader here to murder him. Killing the leader will only cause trouble for me and won't do any good." Niu Youdao greeted him in the cave.
Gong Lince still held the Heavenly Sword Talisman in his sleeve with one hand to be on guard, and then slowly walked into the cave, while simultaneously releasing his magic power to explore.
The cave is not deep, and there is still the smell of wild beasts, which shows that it was the lair of some wild beast before.
Arriving at the end of the cave, Gong Lince found nothing unusual and asked, "What on earth are you going to do?"
Niu Youdao: "The gift for the leader, the leader can open it and take a look."
Hearing this, Gong Lince turned the stone in his hand and started to cast a spell to break it. However, he did not dare to use force suddenly, but slowly used force to break it. In this situation, he had to be cautious and guard against the stone in his hand.
Everything is deceptive.
As soon as the cracks in the stone opened, a red creeping brilliance immediately bloomed. Gong Lince's expression was slightly strange. He continued to cast the spell, and the stone case fell off, revealing something floating with red light.
At first he didn't know what it was. After looking through it for a while, Gong Lince's pupils shrank suddenly after he noticed the fruit, and he asked in confusion: "This...this...what is this?"
Niu Youdao reminded: "Growing up in Wuliang Garden is something that every monk in the world wants to have. Can't the master still guess what it is?"
Gong Lince lost his voice: "Infinite Fruit!" His hands were shaking a little.
Whether it is a natural thing or not, he can tell by having it in his hands and touching it with his own hands.
He was excited for a while before calming down. When he saw the red light of the forbidden object leaking out, he was worried that he had made a mistake. He lowered his hand and quickly covered it with his sleeves to avoid the conspicuous red light from being released. He said in an excited voice: "Where did you get this thing?
?”
Niu Youdao: "If it weren't for this thing, would I have to fake death to escape? To be honest with the boss, I stole this thing from Wuliang Garden using my identity as an inspector."
Gong Lince was shocked and said: "Are you crazy? Do you want to kill Zijindong?"
"Afraid of death?" Niu Youdao said happily, pointing to the thing in his sleeve, "I just want to ask the leader, do you want this thing or not?"
Gong Lince's scalp was numb, he couldn't control his emotions, his breathing was very rapid, he even forgot to be on guard, his mouth was dry, and his Adam's apple kept twitching.
To do it or not to do it? This is really a difficult choice. He knows very well what the consequences will be if he leaves this thing behind. Once the news is leaked, it will be irreversible!
Don’t think that just breaking through to the coveted Nascent Soul stage will do anything. It has been many years since the Nine Saints broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. Their strength dominates the world. Not just anyone who breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage can challenge it. This thing is a fatal problem!
Don't you? It's something that monks dream of, a treasure that reaches the Nascent Soul stage. It's just an immortal thing that makes it hard to resist its temptation.
It would be fine if he wanted it but couldn't get it, but now that the treasure was right in front of his eyes and in his hands, how could he refuse such huge doubts?
He never dreamed that he would suddenly see the dead Niu Youdao and be presented with something that made it difficult for him to make a choice.
Everything seems like a dream!
Gong Linche was not an inexperienced person. After being excited for a while, he quickly tried to calm down and asked: "Are you willing to give me such a treasure?"
Niu Youdao: "There are twelve fruit trees on a tree. If you pick one, you will die. If you pick them all, you will die. What will the boss do? Is there any difference between eating one of these and twelve? Get one for free.
So what if I give it to the leader?"
Gong Lince was shocked, with a messy look on his face, "You have picked off all the forbidden objects in Wuliang Garden? How can the Nine Saints stop?"
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, Master. There are twelve fake ones hanging on the fruit tree now. They can't be discovered for a while. Even if they are discovered now, it's too late. I have already laid out the layout in the holy territory. Once the incident happens, the Nine Saints will doubt their disciples."
, there is no suspicion on my head." Having said this, he reminded me meaningfully, "Master, don't forget, I am already dead!"
Gong Lince's breathing was heavy and his eyes flickered. There was something wrong with the way he stared at Niu Youdao. His fingers holding the Heavenly Sword Talisman in his sleeves felt a little uneasy, and he asked again: "Are you sure there won't be any suspicion on you?"
Niu Youdao smiled: "The leader's reaction made me a little uneasy. Didn't the leader want to seize the treasure and then kill people? This is not a good idea. I said that there was someone in the Holy Land to help me leave the Holy Land, and then I
In the name of Piaomiao Pavilion, we invited the headmaster to come over. Regardless of whether the headmaster can kill me, once something happens to me, does the headmaster think he can remain unnoticed? I still say the same thing, do you want this thing or not?
?”
