"Mr. Bai, just tell me directly," said Kuangwei, the master of Zhenlei Valley.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Okay. Let's talk about two word puzzles first, 'Lake light, water shadow, moon in the sky', 'Lake' hides the water, and behind the moon, it is an 'ancient' word; and 'Two people play the yu under the secluded bamboo'
', the two people are two '口's, embedded in the word 'yu', and after referring to the word 'chui', there is a word 'song'."
Everyone silently wrote down the words "ancient" and "song".
Ying Jianfan suddenly said: "The two of them were playing the yu under the quiet bamboo, and the two mouths were embedded in it. It should be the word 'brother'. It may not be the 'song' you mentioned."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "It is indeed possible, but I only confirmed that it is 'ge' rather than 'brother' by referring to the allusion in the latter sentence."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "Feng Xuan playing the cylindrical hammer is an allusion between Lord Mengchang and his retainers during the Warring States Period. This allusion comes from "Warring States Policy·Qi Ce IV". Feng Xuan, a native of Qi, was poor and asked Lord Mengchang to feed him. Lord Mengchang's subordinates thought that they were the master of the Lord.
He was not allowed to go to Feng Xuan, and he was only given simple meals every meal. After a while, Feng Xuan played the sword and sang: "Long time"
When Mengchang Jun found out, he fulfilled Feng Xuan's request and gave him fish to eat. Later, Feng Xuan returned the fengxuan twice, once complaining about the lack of a car when traveling, and once complaining that his mother had no one to support him, and Mengchang Jun
All of them met Feng Xuan's requirements. Of course, Feng Xuan later also rescued Lord Mengchang from danger, so I won't mention it more."
"The four characters Feng Xuan played the 铗 here refer to the story of playing the sword and singing. According to my guess, these four characters refer to the 'sword', and they correspond to the above sentence, so 'two people played the yu under the quiet bamboo'
It should be ‘song’ for sure.”
"Then what's the meaning of the last sentence 'overworked palace'?" Ji Ming asked.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "This riddle requires understanding to solve. Laogong is an important point on the hand. If the blood circulates against the blood, the hand will be sore and numb. The word 'num' plus the word 'hand' becomes the word 'mo'."
."
"Ancient songs, swords, motorcycles..."
Gu Yulian said slowly: "Manager Bai is indeed very smart. Now I know where the riddle left by Master refers to... She is now in Mogu Mountain and Jiange Waterfall."
Ji Mingjue suddenly said: "The palace master is wise. The remaining two sentences, 'The mandrill weaved the cloth, and the white cloth fell into the river.' Aren't they talking about the waterfall?"
Bai Xiaowen secretly complained that most of the answers to the mystery were solved by him. This time, Ji Mingjue only said that the palace owner was wise and was simply a licking dog.
Helping to solve the riddle left by the Yin Concubine does not seem to have any substantial benefits, but the benefits obtained are hidden. On the one hand, it can advance the plot of the sword song plane, and on the other hand, it can improve Bai Xiaowen's reputation in the hearts of everyone.
Weight.
Jiming Monster shouted: "Palace Master Wei kidnapped his wife, what are you doing at the Jiange Waterfall in Mogu Mountain?"
Gu Yulian said lightly: "Master must have her reasons. Since she left the letter, she is sure that King Ming can solve the riddle. It's just a matter of time. Then, sooner or later, we will have a meeting with Tang Gu at the Jiange Waterfall in Moyun Mountain.
War. Send the order, and the three peaks and four valleys will recruit elite masters above the elder level to secretly march towards Mogu Mountain early tomorrow morning!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a look of astonishment.
Sheng Zhiyu, the leader of Tianji Peak, coughed: "Palace Master, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. The war has just ended, and the energy of the temple has not yet been restored. What's more, in the underground secret passage, there are still a group of people trapped in the underground secret passage, the righteous Taishan Sect, the remnants of the Black Guard, etc.
Rats also need a large number of experts to guard them. It is really not a wise move to draw elites at this time and leave them empty internally."
Gu Yulian's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He stared at Sheng Zhiyu and then slowly scanned the crowd. The atmosphere in the venue was a little depressing for a while.
"I have made up my mind. Am I, the palace master, just a decoration?"
All the chiefs bowed their heads and remained silent. No one dared to look at Gu Yulian. The rules of the Blood God Palace were like this. Before Gu Yulian officially ascended to the position of palace master, everyone could challenge him, except Wu Du.
But now that Gu Yulian has officially ascended the throne, her words are an absolute order.
Gu Yulian softened his tone: "You don't have to be nervous. I won't take away all the masters this time. I will leave at least one behind to monitor the movements of the secret passage at Blood God Peak and look for opportunities to clean up the remnants. Anyone who is willing to go on the expedition with me
Stand at my right hand, and those who stay behind will stand at my left.”
Bai Xiaowen got the prompt information about the rules of the spirit world:
"You are faced with a choice: stay, or go on an expedition. Your choice will determine your subsequent quest line in the Sword Song plane, as well as your favorability in the hearts of specific people in the spiritual world. Please decide carefully."
White Phoenix Team, team channel.
Bai Xiaowen said: "This choice should lead to two different quest lines. The one left behind at the Blood God Peak should be to clear out the Taishan Sect and the remnants of the Black Guard in the secret road. It is estimated that it is at least an A-level elite mission. If the leader of the Taishan Sect
If you are here, the difficulty will rise to S level, and maybe even a heroic branch line. This line should not be dangerous and the benefits will be relatively stable. What do you think?"
Qiao Rui said: "I think it's better to stay. We only have about five days left in the Jiange plane before heading to Mogu Mountain. We may not have enough time to dig out new side tasks. In addition, we also received
SS+ level elite branch, the task of killing Zuo Yunxuan, the leader of the Infinite Sword Sect, should not be distracted."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "Where is Old Han?"
Han Xu's answer was brief: "I believe in the captain's decision."
Everyone's eyes were on Li Shuyi, but now she was the only one who didn't express an opinion.
Li Shuyi said with a smile: "Of course I listen to you."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and laughed: "You guys are really lazy. You have to use your brains. Otherwise, how can you be independent in the future? Okay, now let me tell you...the pros and cons of going on this route."
"There is no conflict between choosing to go to Mogu Mountain and completing the side mission of [Powerful World]. On the contrary, there will be a conflict if you stay at the Blood God Peak. Because according to my inference, after the defeat, the elders of the seven sects of the righteous path will
Super experts will not miss the grand gathering at Mogu Mountain, and Zuo Yunxuan will certainly go too."
"Here I will tell you the reason. The news of Yugu's large-scale entry into the Central Plains cannot be concealed. Although King Ming is neutral, he has a great reputation as a knight, and is naturally biased towards the righteous camp. The defeated righteous masters, after understanding the relationship between King Ming and
After the conflict between the Yin concubines, the possibility of defecting to King Ming to help him is very high. In this way, we can find an opportunity to kill Zuo Yunxuan and complete the mission."
The teammates nodded after hearing this.
Bai Xiaowen added: "As for whether there is a conflict in time, I don't think there is anything to worry about. As long as we agree to go on the expedition, it is very likely that we will start the second main mission, and then we will have an extra ten days."
Qiao Rui had some intellectual doubts, but subconsciously, she still believed in Bai Xiaowen's judgment. This was the prestige brought by Bai Xiaowen's precise vision in team decisions.
Han Xu and Li Shuyi are of course the only ones who follow Bai Xiaowen's lead.
At this time, the leader of the seven divisions and the other six people in the hall had already made their choices.
Except for Sheng Zhiyu, the leader of Tianji Peak, who stood on Gu Yulian's left hand side and chose to stay behind, the other five tribe leaders all stood on Gu Yulian's right hand side and chose to follow him on the expedition.
A group of people looked at Bai Xiaowen, and Gu Yulian said softly: "Manager Bai, do you want to stay behind, or do you want to go to Mogu Mountain with me? No matter what choice you make, I will not blame you."
Bai Xiaowen asked: "I wonder how many days' journey is there from Mogu Mountain?"
Ji Ming said: "It's about seven hundred miles away. If we ride a fast horse, it will only take one day."
Although martial arts masters have extraordinary qinggong skills, they still have to ride horses if they are in a hurry. After all, people's endurance is not as good as that of horses. Moreover, when traveling in rivers and lakes, you must be careful of the enemy's plot. Use your qinggong skills to run with all your strength. If you are too tired, others will take advantage of you.
machine.
Bai Xiaowen knew what he was doing, so he raised his hand and said to Gu Yulian: "I am willing to go on the expedition with the palace master."
"Okay. Then I will leave Tianji Peak to guard the Blood God Peak. The other six departments will mobilize their elites, pack their bags, and set off today!"
A look of satisfaction flashed in Gu Yulian's eyes, and he waved his hand to give the order, and then said: "Old Sheng is sitting in the temple, and he also has a heavy responsibility. You must send agents from various ministries to explore the horse, and carefully explore the movements of the remaining masters of the seven sects of the righteous way. As soon as there is news,
Then he informed me of it through the secret message of the carrier pigeon."
When Sheng Zhiyu saw that Gu Yulian did not blame him for staying, this attitude really made him feel guilty. He raised his hands and said: "Palace Master, don't worry, I have to protect the foundation of the temple even if I risk my life. I'm keeping track of the righteous masters."
, also wrap it up with me."
Bai Xiaowen listened to Gu Yulian's last order and knew in his heart that Gu Yulian should also have thought of the possibility of the merger of the masters of the righteous way and the masters of Tang Gu. This woman is really unusual.
At this time, the spiritual world rules prompt information also arrived.
First of all, the favorability of Gu Yulian and other club leaders increased to varying degrees, but there was no breakthrough in the favorability level.
In addition, the task prompt that Bai Xiaowen has been waiting for also appeared.
"Main mission: [Decisive Battle on Mogu Mountain] starts."
"[Mission goal: Participate in the Battle of Mogu Mountain and kill a well-known figure.]"
"[Task Difficulty: s-]"
"[Task period: 10 days.]"
"[Task reward: Unknown.]"
"[Tip: Requirements for target famous figures: the template must not be lower than the leader level; the level must not be lower than level 8; the popularity of the Sword Song plane must not be lower than level A.]"
After starting the second main mission, the remaining five days or so of free exploration time for the White Phoenix Team will be automatically extended. Then, the benefits they obtain will no longer be guaranteed unless they complete the second main mission.
As for the second main mission, compared with the first main mission [Siege of the Blood God Palace], the type is exactly the same, but the difficulty has been raised from A level to S- level!
The main reason is the popularity requirement of the target person killed. The popularity of the previous mission was only B level or above, and Bai Xiaowen would pass if he killed an elder. As for the A level popularity required for this mission, I am afraid that only masters of the Seven Sect Leader level can meet the conditions.
So, don't waste it.
After finishing everything, the Blood God Palace dispatched a total of seventeen masters (except the four members of the White Phoenix Team), riding fast horses, traveling under the stars and at night, towards Mogu Mountain.
The journey was uneventful, with only carrier pigeons passing by to deliver news.
One of the news: King Tanggu Ming appeared in Changxi City, three hundred miles away from Mogu Mountain.
News 2: The righteous masters also went to Changxi City, and the confirmed targets include Zuo Yunxuan, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Master Wangchen of the Huijian Sect, and Li Daotong, the head of the Jiuhua Sect.
At noon on the second day of the expedition, Gu Yulian led the top masters of Blood God Palace to Mogu Mountain.
The environment of Mogu Mountain is quiet and quiet, and the Jiange Waterfall is one of its unique features. The water of the waterfall is rolling, passing through the network of large and small rivers, flowing into the Yellow River, and finally flowing into the sea.
Finding Jiange Waterfall is very simple, just follow the water flow. The group dismounted and walked, and soon heard the thunderous sound of the waterfall pouring.
"There is someone in front." Bai Xiaowen maintained his mental telepathy at all times and said in the team channel.
The masters of the Blood God Palace had sharp ears and eyes, and they also sensed the presence of someone in the valley ahead.
Gu Yulian said: "You guys stop for now. Master Ji Valley, you come with me and pay homage to the master."
Everyone stopped as told.
Bai Xiaowen was very curious. What did the four top powerhouses in the Jiangge plane and the only female master Yin Fei look like? But it was obviously not suitable for peeping at this time.
However, after Gu Yulian walked into the valley entrance, he did not see the existence of Concubine Yin. Ji Mingjue's slightly surprised voice sounded: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
A gentle female voice sounded, answering Ji Mingjue's words: "My name is Tang Muyao, and I was kidnapped here. If you two girls stumbled into this place by mistake, please leave quickly."
Gu Yulian's voice was slightly cold: "So you are Mistress Tang Gu. Master Ji Gu, let everyone else come in. Master seems not to be here."
The whistle of Ji Minjue's message sounded, and Bai Xiaowen and others entered the valley one after another.
Bai Xiaowen saw Tang Muyao at a glance. If it hadn't been confirmed, he wouldn't have believed that this woman was a prisoner of Concubine Yin.
So calm.
The face of Tang Gu's mistress Tang Muyao was calm, and the arrival of so many masters could not move her in the slightest. She had waist-length black hair, no makeup or inlays with pearls and jade, but she had a graceful and luxurious demeanor.
Time seems to have forgotten this woman. There is no trace of aging on her face, but the youthfulness of a girl has faded away, giving her a dignified and elegant beauty.
"It turns out that the girl came to see your master. So you must be Yin Fei's disciple?" Tang Muyao smiled gently, "What a beautiful person."
Ji Mingjue muttered: "Palace Master Wei must be too relieved. It doesn't matter if she hasn't been tied up. At least she must be locked up..."
Gu Yulian said calmly: "This person's martial arts skills are mediocre. Even if he tries to run away, he will be captured by the master within ten miles. Whether he is tied up or not, and whether he is imprisoned or not, it doesn't matter."
Tang Muyao showed a faint wry smile: "What the girl said is true, and you underestimate the master's ability too much. Concubine Yin gave me the reverse blood seal. Even if I can run away, my blood will flow back and die."
