At this moment, a messenger from the Xingxuan Envoy of Wujihui came over:
"Lord Qi Zheng, we received a secret report saying that a member of the meeting had found traces of the emperor..."
Chapter 103 Mortal with the naked eye (3k
At the foot of the south side of Qingming Mountain Range.
"Let's go, let's go."
In the small Taoist temple, the female Taoist nun Master Lingling was urging several female monks to carry their bags and leave the Taoist temple.
Master Lingling is a chubby Taoist nun who has always been kind and kind-hearted. But at this time, she was a little impatient and kept urging several female disciples to rush out.
"Master Lingling, are you going on a long trip today? Why don't you leave someone in the Taoist temple to look after you?"
A pilgrim was about to enter the Taoist temple to burn incense, but when he saw that the whole small Taoist temple had come out to Master Lingling, he asked in surprise.
"What are you looking after... The goddess you worship to give birth to children is in the hearts of the world. If anyone believes in it, then someone will burn incense. Why don't you stop worshiping me when the monks are not around?"
Master Lingling was usually a slow-tempered person, but now he was very anxious. Even the pilgrims who were familiar with him on weekdays stopped talking and hurried out.
"I've been on a whim recently, and I'm afraid something big will happen. I, a little monk, don't dare to get involved in the big things of the Nine Immortal Sects..."
"In today's world, incense and aspiration are the main road. The monks who follow the ancient methods are just clinging to their old ways, and naturally they are far from being able to compete with them."
She whispered something in her mouth and hurried out step by step.
"Azhen, why are you still dawdling? I usually doze off when I'm giving lectures, but now I'm dawdling again at this critical moment. I don't know what I'm doing all day long."
"....A-Zhen, why are you walking so fast again? Didn't you see your junior sister Canxue walking behind?"
"Azhen, help your junior sister Canxue quickly, she can't see her eyesight and can't walk fast."
"Master." The female cultivator known as Ah Zhen said helplessly:
"Junior sister, she has entered the immortal realm. She is no longer the blind person she was before. Of course she can move freely. She is not an ordinary person. How can she need my help?"
"And can't her eyes be opened a little? It seems like she just can't see things clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Canxue staggering. She was obviously walking on level ground, but she almost fell to the ground.
Ah Zhen blinked her eyes and was about to step forward when she saw a chubby shadow that was faster than her. It rushed in front of Qiao Canxue almost in the blink of an eye and held her up with a fat hand.
"After all, he is an immortal monk... How can he fall on the ground? And even if he falls on the ground, it is a trivial matter. Our master's partiality is too obvious." The female monks shouted:
"That's right."
"Stop dozing off a few times and I will listen to you. I really don't know where I found a bunch of lazy guys like you." Master Lingling helplessly spread his hands and looked at Qiao Canxue's white left eye that had been opened.
"These are not eyes that mortals can have. Even if you have entered the immortal world, it is too early for you. Don't open your eyes."
Ever since Qiao Canxue could open her eyes, she found that what she saw was completely different from reality.
The flat land may be a deep ditch in her eyes, and the hillside may be a vast ocean in her eyes.
What's even weirder is that the scenery in her eyes is constantly changing. When she opens her eyes in the morning, the hillside looks like a small river. When she opens her eyes again at night, the hillside becomes a deep ditch.
Even she herself had difficulty figuring out what was going on with her strange eyes. She could only make a vague guess.
"good."
Qiao Canxue obediently closed her eyes again and continued to follow the female cultivators.
As we were on our way, we heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance, approaching from far away.
The female nuns had long since taken refuge on the grass at the edge of the road, and saw a few jocks riding fast horses, galloping past on the road.
Qiao Canxue seemed to be aware of it. Regardless of Master Lingling's instructions, she quietly opened her eyes and took a look.
In the rapidly changing field of vision, a young man in bright clothes and an angry horse galloped past, raising a trail of smoke and dust on the road.
The young man wears a long sword on his waist, has red lips and white teeth, piercing eyes, a slender and powerful figure, and has the temperament of a knight-errant.
The young man rode a galloping horse and passed by, only for a brief moment, leaving only a simple silhouette behind him.
"Senior Sister Zhen, that person just now..." Qiao Canxue tugged at the corner of the senior sister next to her.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity towards the strange young man she met for the first time.
"Is the man in white good-looking?" she asked.
"Uh..." A-Zhen, the female cultivator, was choked for a moment and looked back at the back of the old man in white.
She didn't take a close look at the person's appearance just now, but it was obvious that he was just an old man with slightly white temples. He was so old, so why did he care about whether he looked good or not?
The back killer? Junior sister's eyes are not very good and she can't see things accurately. She seems to be seeing something wrong...
She thought for a moment and felt that he was just a passerby who met him by chance anyway. Although he was an old man with a killer silhouette, it wasn't a bad thing if he could leave a good impression in front of his junior sister who didn't have good eyesight.
So she whispered:
"Although that man is a little bit older, he still looks very handsome. If only he were a little bit younger, I wish I could return to secular life on the spot."
Qiao Canxue paused in her steps and was so shocked that she almost opened her eyes on the spot.
That young man is still quite old. Senior Sister Ah Zhen also said that if she were younger, she would immediately return to secular life, which is a bit too aggressive...
She couldn't help but take a step away from the female cultivator Ah Zhen. There is something wrong with this senior sister...
....
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Qiao Mu rode a fast horse and ran away with Wu Qizheng and the masked Xingxuan envoy. The horse's hooves raised a trail of smoke and dust on the official road.
Although they occasionally saw monks and nuns on the road, they didn't look at them more.
The Taoist priests who wear Taoist robes are not necessarily immortal monks, but may also be deceivers, immortal servants practicing martial arts, or even remnants of Taoist sects from the old martial arts world.
Their attention was focused on the traces of Emperor Dayan.
"Xingxuan Envoy, is the source of the information reliable?" Wu Qizheng asked solemnly.
Although they had just witnessed Taoist Chiyang appearing at the foot of Qingming Mountain, the matter was related to Emperor Dayan, so they had no choice but to act solemnly.
If the source of the information is accurate, they will immediately notify Wu Shengren and assassinate the emperor as quickly as possible.
Xianmen is in the light, Wu Jihui is in the dark.
In order not to be exposed, Wu Jihui could only act secretly.
In addition, the immortal cultivators of the Xuantian Sect have always looked down upon ordinary warriors. If traces of the emperor were really found on the way, Wu Qizheng would be quite confident that he would be able to escape unscathed.
Xingxuan envoy replied: "The old Mo who sent me the secret report has been working in the Wuji Association for twenty years. He is already over sixty years old. He acts calmly and is no longer an impetuous young man. Nothing has gone wrong in all these years.”
"He reported that someone suspected of being Emperor Dayan appeared in Hucheng, which is also near the Qingming Mountains."
"This matter was of great importance, so he reported it to his subordinates as soon as possible."
The Qingming Mountain Range is a huge mountain range that stretches across Nanzhou, stretching for an unknown number of miles. It is said that monsters roam in the deeper parts of the mountain range and are inaccessible to humans.
It is said that the Xuantian Sect's sect is located in the unknown area deep in the Qingming Mountains.
Qingyun Temple and Qingming Town at the foot of the mountain are actually only located on the east side of the mountain range, close to Yancheng and other Great Yan cities, and the population is not too sparse.
If the location of the Qingyun Temple is too far, close to the inner side of the Qingming Mountains, then even in the Immortal Sect Holy Land, there may not be many believers who can travel all the way across mountains and rivers to burn incense and worship the gods in the Taoist temple.
This time, the Hucheng that Qiao Mu and others were going to was on the southeast side of the Qingming Mountains, not too far from Yancheng.
Tiger City is larger than Yancheng, and the city walls are old. Although there are sergeants questioning at the gate, with Wu Ji's ability to gather people, entering a Tiger City is not a problem.
"Sir Qi Zheng, Mo Mingzhi lives in the north of the city. He opened a sect of his own. He imitated the name of the Immortal Sect and gave it the famous name of 'Ming Yue Sect'. He is also a well-known figure in the Hucheng area and has many disciples. Let’s go directly to the sect.”
"Ming Yue Sect?" Qiao Mu vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar.
Thinking about it carefully, he remembered an event from long ago.
When he first met Yancheng City Lord Guo Yan on the streets of Yancheng, Guo Yan immediately recognized the swordsmanship of Jiang Chen, the swordsman in blue, and said that he was a disciple of Mingyue Sect and would come to visit him in person one day to apologize.
It's called Mingyue Sect, but it's actually a local sword sect in Hucheng.
"Is the so-called Sect Leader Mo of the Mingyue Sect secretly a member of the Wu Jihui?"
"No wonder Guo Yan could tell at a glance that they were all members of Wujihui." Qiao Mu thought.
The Wujihui is a secret force established by the martial arts saints on the corpses of Shaolin Wudang and other famous sects. It is far superior to the previous ones in terms of the number of martial arts skills mastered and the size of its members. Any famous family.
Not only Guo Yan, but also Sect Master Mo from nearby Hucheng has been a member of Wujihui for twenty years.
Because it was about Emperor Dayan, the group moved quickly and without stopping, went straight to the Mingyue Sect in the north of the city.
The so-called Mingyue Sect is a spacious house and pavilion that occupies a large area, with the words "Mingyue Sect" written on it.
Although the name "Ming Yue Sect" is suspected of being a big banner, in this small tiger city, Mingyue Sect is really not a small force, and the local city lord should take a high look at it.
There were disciples in Tsing Yi with swords waiting at the door. When they saw Wu Qizheng and others, they welcomed them in.
But after entering the courtyard, Wu Qizheng suddenly stopped.
"Xing Xuan Envoy, the sect leader named Mo that you mentioned is really acting prudent and there is no problem?"
Xingxuan envoy also fell silent at this time.
The Mingyue Sect Sword Sect is so big, but it is very quiet after entering the door. There are almost no people visible. This seems to be problematic no matter how you look at it.
"It's impossible that Mo Mingzhi, who has been in the Martial Arts Association for twenty years, rebelled? If no trace of the emperor is found, but he is ambushed by the Immortal Sect, it will be a lot of fun..." Qiao Mu sighed in his heart.
Chapter 104 Harmony with Light (4k
"Rebellion? You can't say this nonsense." The Xingxuan envoy's voice also showed some rare emotional fluctuations, and he was slightly rude:
"Mo Mingzhi has been in Wujihui for twenty years, and was once the Xingxuan envoy of the previous generation. How could he rebel?"
"Then what's going on now?" Qiao Mu looked around and could clearly tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The wind picked up, and the leaves in the courtyard rustled, which further highlighted the terrifying silence within the sword sect.
Along with the arrival of this breeze, there was also a faint smell of blood.
Wu Qizheng, who was standing by, did not speak, but glanced at Xingxuan Envoy calmly:
"Now is not the time to act on impulse."
"...It is my fault." Xingxuan Envoy's voice returned to its usual calmness, and he introduced:
"Mo Mingzhi was a fourth-rank warrior at his peak, but later he got older and his blood and qi declined. At the age of seventy, he gradually dropped back to the sixth rank and resigned from the post of Xingxuan Envoy."
"After that, although he still served as an informant for Wu Jihui, he was actually semi-retired and did not participate too much in the internal affairs of Wu Jihui."
Xingxuan Envoy is the local intelligence chief of Wu Jihui.
Any organization, as long as it is large, must have talents from all aspects, and military force is not a necessary factor.
For example, in the Great Yan court, Wang Shanhe was just a weak scholar at the time, but he could still be promoted to the second rank in the Great Yan court.
There are many warriors in Wu Jihui who are good at fighting, and Xingxuan Envoy is generally not needed to kill the enemy, so the strength of Xingxuan Envoy is not very important.
It happened more than half a year ago that the Martial Saint wiped out the entire Qiao family in Heyang and took away the "Eternal Fist Scripture".
Before that, although the Wu Ji Association also had top internal skills such as "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", it was naturally inferior to the "Eternal Fist Scripture" in terms of the effect of "old but not declining".
As the former Xingxuan Envoy, Mo Mingzhi could naturally exchange for top skills such as "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" from the Wu Ji Association, which was naturally a piece of cake.
But having top skills is one thing, and whether you can practice martial arts to a high level and keep your blood and qi from declining is another thing.
"Let's go in and take a look. We can't just stop there if we suspect it's a trap from the Immortal Gate." Wu Qizhen made a decision with a bright look in his eyes:
"The Martial Saint should be on his way here. If it's really a trap from the Immortal Gate, it's also a good strategy to capture the Xuantian Sect's cultivators and force them to tell us the information."
Wu Qizhen took the lead and walked in front, while Qiao Mu and Xingxuan Envoy lagged behind a little, and several people walked towards the main building of the Mingyue Sect.
The intuition developed by Wu Sheng Ling Xi Jue pointed to the main building in front.
Qiao Mu glanced at Wu Qizhen's back and wanted to take a step forward and stand in the front. After all, it was always others who looked at his back, how could he look at others' backs?
But after thinking carefully, Qiao Mu's steps slowed down a little, and he did not rush to the front of the crowd as before.
First of all, even if Mo Mingzhi rebelled, it was an internal affair of Wu Jihui. He just cooperated with Wu Jihui to assassinate the emperor, which did not mean that he joined the Wu Jihui camp.
Secondly, Qiao Mu was old.
If he died before getting the refining method, it would often mean physical aging, and his qi and blood might begin to decline, which was not very cost-effective.
"Be one with the light and dust, be one with the light and dust, this is what I should do at my age..."
