Chapter 254(1/3)
Fulfillment
The autumn wind is bleak and the cold rain is lingering.
In the center of the central axis of Qizhou City, there is a massive and magnificent building.
Shrouded in light mist, it looks even more solemn.
By noon, instead of getting lighter, the rain was getting heavier.
From the hazy drizzle, it turned into a continuous curtain of water.
Deep inside the magnificent building, there are exquisite and elegant pavilions and waterside pavilions, which are connected by long corridors across the water. It is a good place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
In the largest pavilion, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe sat on a soft cushion. On the low table in front of him were several plates of exquisite side dishes and a pot of scalding hot wine.
On each side of the pavilion were placed a heater that was as tall as half a person. The inside was burning red, and the incense was burning outside. Under the increasingly heavy rain, it looked like a hazy fairyland.
Even though there is a cold autumn wind and rain outside, it does not affect the fragrance inside the pavilion, which is as warm as spring.
The middle-aged man in a brocade robe picked up the wine cup and took a sip, then picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and ate them slowly, exhaling the smell of alcohol with satisfaction.
After reading it, a strange color flashed between her brows, her eyes were sparkling, and she was slightly lost in thought for a moment.
"Mr. Qichen, all eighteen disciples are ready."
And before leaving, Miss Liu also left a secret for her subordinates to train the dead soldiers. After long-term practice, they can cut off the seven emotions and eliminate the six desires. This can add another layer of insurance to ensure that they will not be delusional.
Disturbed."
Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the courtyard door.
Then I heard Gong Yuan continue to say, "I opened the skylight in front of Senior Brother Liu to speak frankly. In fact, I have also dabbled in the mysterious silk threads, and I have learned many principles of martial arts practice from it.
It quickly soaked the brocade robe worn by the middle-aged man and even stained the soft cushion underneath.
boom!
In the darkness and silence, scarlet threads suddenly rose and danced wildly.
But as time went by, this man became more and more arrogant and domineering in the capital, and he did not take me, the governor of Qizhou, seriously.
"As for Zheng Zhongcheng of the Touring Department, his subordinates believe that it was purely because of his bad luck that he happened to encounter a confrontation between two martial arts masters, so it was natural that he was killed casually.
Qizhou Jiedushi suppressed his smile and his expression became solemn again, "I was so excited just now that I almost forgot a very important thing."
For so many days and nights, I always thought that there was such a martial arts master by my side, but my cultivation level was only at the viscera level. It made me sleepless every night, like a thorn in my back.
"This year's gift for me at Qinglin Mountain should not be some useless flower stands like in previous years. Instead, I should prepare a generous carbon gift. When the time comes, I will go up to the mountain in person to visit the old man who wants to see Taoist Ning.
.”
It was at that time that she told us that sir, there is a secret method that can improve the qualifications of a warrior and enhance his cultivation, but the price is very high, and it takes twenty years of life to complete it."
"Master Shang, you are different from them. You suffered internal injuries at the Iron Leg Gate. After such a long time, although you have recovered, your foundation has been damaged, resulting in mental fatigue and early onset of hair loss."
Shang Bian said with some confusion, "The person who came was the chief steward of Jiedushi's house. He said words of comfort and flattery, and also left a large amount of money to pay for the renovation of the building."
When he said this, he suddenly felt excited in his heart and suddenly shut up, feeling that what he just said seemed to be in a questioning tone.
He also did not expect that Qizhou Jiedushi would react so quickly.
"My subordinate understands."
"How can you be sure that Deputy Xiang is dead without seeing the body!?"
In addition, the subordinates always instilled in them that the master was a god who came to the world and was born in the mortal world. The seeds of loyalty have already taken root and sprouted. The only flaw now is that the skills of the subordinates' iron leg gate are too rough and they cannot be rewarded by the master.
The kindness given.”
"You can't go out and meet people like this."
"You should bring the half piece of dough and let me see it with my own eyes before I can be sure."
Time passed little by little.
If the man in the pavilion really wanted to pursue the case, it would be a serious suspicion of disrespect.
Wei Tao closed his eyes and said in a tired voice, "So in my opinion, it is okay for me to help Master Shang heal his injuries, but there is no need to take risks like them to improve his strength."
The man in brocade robes casually threw the broken wine bottle aside. He didn't care about Xiang Qi's residence at all. He just asked, "Are you sure you saw Deputy Ambassador Xiang's body with your own eyes?"
Suddenly, a figure broke through the rain curtain, came quickly from a distance, and soon arrived in front of the waterside pavilion.
The most likely possibility is that Liu Qingyuan made it up himself, with the purpose of scaring Shang Bian and testing his sincerity.
"Xiang Qi was born in the army, and it is said that he encountered a great opportunity in Mozhou, and broke through the mysterious realm in one fell swoop and became a master. Even in the entire Qizhou area, there are absolutely only a handful of people who can kill him.
Shang Bian exhaled a breath of white air and continued, "The second thing is that today the Jiedushi government sent people to the restaurant and teahouse."
"Deputy Ambassador Xiang is a martial arts master who was transformed into a human being. He comes and goes and rarely encounters an opponent. This is not just talk.
"I also didn't expect that I had just prepared to cultivate a new Sun Daozi by raising and killing Gu, but just a few days later, one of the Gu insects was already shattered into pieces and his life was gone.
………………
He arched his body and trembled violently, but gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
I heard that there was not even a master in charge of the Jiedushi's residence. If he was really targeted, he would just stop doing anything and send the Qizhou Jiedushi to hell as well.
At this point, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Therefore, I hope that my husband will fulfill my wish. My subordinates and the disciples of Qingshan Society are willing to sacrifice twenty years of their lives in exchange for the opportunity to become stronger!"
Being able to break through the many shackles and recreate the mysterious threads described in the missing ancient method is really surprising and inexplicable."
After a long time, the graceful woman who was sitting still picked up the tea, slowly brought it to her mouth and took a sip.
So I went round and round and ended up back where I started.
On the edge of the city, there is a secluded courtyard.
What caught Wei Tao's eyes was a powerful body over two meters long, full of strength. The sharp bone spurs on the shoulders, elbows and knees were like blades, making him look cold and ferocious.
Every time Shang Bian twisted his body, dazzling sparks shot out from the ground.
Shang Bian took a deep breath with a calm expression. "My decision has been made. Please make it happen."
The man in brocade robes raised his head, with a cold look on his face, "How many times have I told you not to disturb me at this time? Don't you idiots have any sense of judgment anymore?"
After hearing this, Wei Tao finally understood what Shang Bian was talking about as an opportunity to become stronger.
Wei Tao pointed to the wooden bench next to him, "Sit down and talk."
"I understand, I will make arrangements now."
The man was soon half drunk, but his face became increasingly gloomy.
"The investigation must be carried out carefully."
A strand of silver thread came out of the bird's body, and there was a sealed copper tube on it.
None of them spoke. It was quiet upstairs, except for the sound of the wind, which ruffled the curtains on all sides.
…………
The night wind was cold and howling by.
Wei Tao opened the wooden box and took a look, with a happy smile on his face, "Master Shang worked hard, and the results exceeded my expectations."
Suddenly, there was a lot of rustling noise in the wind.
Shang Bian thought slowly and said, "My subordinates also inquired later. Jiedushi sent someone here. Perhaps it is because Mr. Qinglin Shanyuan is a disciple and has this level of status that he attaches so much importance to it."
Wei Tao nodded slightly, walked slowly to the wooden chair that had been arranged and sat down, looking down at the disciples of the Green Shirt Club with fanatical expressions in front of them.
Wei Tao stroked the smooth porcelain cup and suddenly recalled the day when the sect returned from the Grand Competition and stayed briefly in Luoshui.
After a long silence, Wei Tao said slowly, "I do have the method you mentioned, but this method is not a good strategy, and I don't even understand the consequences."
Then it suddenly escaped from Wei Tao's palm and accurately penetrated into the major acupuncture points of each Qingshan Society disciple's body.
Having said this, he waved his hand and said, "Go and instruct the chefs to prepare a banquet of my favorite mountain delicacies, and then open the incense stored in the altar cellar, so that this Jiedushi can enjoy it and drink it to his heart's content.
This is considered as a farewell banquet to Deputy Envoy as he sets out on the road to hell!"
"What do you mean, sir?"
Having said this, the man in brocade robes stood up and looked at the rain falling heavily outside the pavilion. "In this situation, it would be so refreshing to watch half of Deputy Ambassador Xiang drinking wine."
Just thinking about the scene makes me feel relaxed and happy, and I can’t help myself.”
Shang Bian saluted again, with a firm expression and a decisive tone.
He seemed unaware of this, he just sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wei Tao frowned slightly, "Who is here and what is he talking about?"
Now that this person has died violently, he has removed a sharp thorn in my heart. He died well, he died well!"
The young man bowed and said, "Replying to your lord, I have been discussing with several Xuangan guests in the mansion for a long time, and first ruled out the possibility of Grandmaster Beihuang taking action, because judging from the traces left behind, many details cannot be matched.
With a sudden sigh, he simply threw away the wine cup and stopped taking a bite of the food. He drank heavily from the wine pot to relieve the anxiety and sorrow in his heart.
He knelt down on one knee, looked at Wei Tao with more fanatical eyes, and his expression became more respectful and adoring.
In addition, my subordinates have rummaged through all the minced meat inside and outside the pit, and it is already certain that those who died in it are Deputy Ambassador Xiang and Zheng Zhongcheng. In addition, it seems that one or two inexplicable women have sneaked in."
