Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 41 041. Waiting for a result
"...What does your lord mean by that?"

After thinking about it, he asked.

Master Huqiu stood still, and the voice came out through the bamboo hat:

"After noon, when I arrived, I saw him. Seeing that he was about to die, I rewarded him with a pill. As for the beggar you mentioned, I have never seen him."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhen narrowed his eyes.

There was also a hint of caution in the voice:
"My lord, my friend is just a beggar. Your lord's body is worth a thousand gold. In normal times, even if he has the courage of a bear, he definitely doesn't dare to come close to your lord's sight. But now my friend clearly said that the child was killed by the king of heaven. Those of you who are watching are taken away, my lord promises a thousand gold, why dare to do it but not admit it?"

What he said was not polite, but Master Huqiu didn't seem to be angry, but rather jokingly:
"My promise? What are you, a Taoist priest? You clearly said the day before yesterday that your family members would not tell lies, but yesterday morning, where were you?"

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched...

Just as he was about to answer, he heard Master Huqiu say:

"Besides, I'm afraid you've misunderstood."

"?"

"Since the beggar said that the person who caught his child was from Tianjun, what does it have to do with me?"

"..."

Li Zhen was taken aback.

"Ha~"

Master Huqiu chuckled, without even looking at the two corpses on the ground, he turned around and walked towards the backyard.

"Want to know what's going on? Taoist priest, then follow up."

The voice fell, and the figure had disappeared.

Li Zhen frowned, but followed without hesitation.When passing by the two corpses, he picked up the long sword left aside by the corpse whose throat was pierced by Xiao Li Fei.

Although it will not be used, it can protect the body anyway.

Ta Dahu stood in front of him, and the mist surged behind him.

Surrounded by golden light, in this dark night, he is like a big lantern, shining golden light wherever he passes.

And through the reflection of this light, he discovered something wrong with Tianjun Temple...

Although it was his first time to come here, the Taoist priests in Tianjunguan were rich, but the master said so.

Rich people...it's impossible not to install the gate of Sanqing Hall, right?

What's more, there are also messy marks on the ground, as if it has been plowed by something, and some blue bricks have simply turned into dust.

It was like being smashed with a hammer.

Don't talk about anything else...just the plow marks...why do they look so familiar?

All of a sudden, he thought of those two thieves who stole face!

Immediately, I felt a bewildering absurdity.

Master Huqiu...face-stealing thief, Tianjun Guan...

And the little beggar who was taken away...

What happened in Tianjunguan today?
Just before thinking about paying, he had gone around to the backyard.

Contrary to what he had imagined, the arrangement in the backyard didn't have much of a clean air, on the contrary it was extremely simple.

There are two roads on the left and right, leading to a huge stone gate.

Sitting in front of the stone gate was a Taoist priest who also exuded a cloudy light. The Taoist priest was missing a piece of his arm and his face was pale.

Lord Huqiu stood in front of the stone gate.

After seeing him coming, he flicked away...

A fiery red light flashed, and the whole body of the one-armed Taoist priest ignited a big fire. The flames were so fierce that the Taoist priest didn't even make a pitiful scream, so he was completely burned up.

Not even ash... was left.

When the wind blows, there is nothing left.

"..."

Li Zhen couldn't see what Master Huqiu was going to do.

At this time, Lord Huqiu's voice sounded:

"Taoist, just inside this stone gate, go down, it is the alchemy place of Tianjun Guan."

"..."

"Qiu Cunfeng, the master of Tianjun Temple, and Lu Cunjing, the supervisor, are among them. Before the first emperor unified the Taoism, they were disciples of the Jinghuo Zhenzong. Now Qiu Cunfeng is the fifth-rank red-clothed mage of the royal imperial seal. Lu Cunjing is the sixth-rank blue-clothed mage. I came here to make alchemy by the emperor's order. And the beggar you mentioned should be in this underground alchemy place.

If you want to save, just go down and save.Oh, by the way... Qiu Cunfeng and Lu Cunjing are both Wai alchemy Taoist priests, and their cultivation bases are in the alchemy way, but their own strength is so-so. Judging by your cultivation base, you are capable of fighting.It's just that Taoist priests of Waidan make good use of pills to assist them, and their methods are changeable. Whether they live or die after going down depends on your luck. "

Hearing this, Li Zhen didn't move for a while, but frowned at the mysterious Master Huqiu:
"Why did your lord tell me this information?"

"Yeah... why?"

Lord Huqiu followed his words and asked indifferently:

"Taoist, if you want to retreat now, there is still time. Go back to your Taoist temple, whether you are a storyteller, or the so-called liking, and the muddy water in the last city has nothing to do with you. If you really enter this stone gate , is involved in this world of great controversy, and it will be difficult to live steadily in the future."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the front yard step by step.

But after walking less than three steps, two "buzzing" sounds were heard, and the stone gate collapsed.He paused... Then he returned to normal and left directly.

Walking all the way to the front yard, ignoring the two corpses lying on the ground, without even looking at them, they went straight out of the mountain gate.

Standing at the end of the steps, he had already seen a long flaming snake lit up from the bottom of the mountain.

It seems that there is a team rushing here.

And at this moment, bursts of crackling sounds could be heard in the air, and above the pitch-black sky, a black shadow was entwined with wind and snow, rushing toward this side at once.

"Boom!"

Finally, the black shadow stepped heavily on the third step in front of Master Huqiu, and knelt down on one knee:
"My lord, the future is late, please forgive me, my lord."

"Well, it's okay."

Looking at General Xue who came alone, Master Huqiu responded:
"Has the injury recovered?"

Hearing this, General Xue bowed his head respectfully:

"Thank you for the elixir you left behind!"

As he spoke, he looked around...

"My lord, has the thief already given his head?"

"No."

General Xue was stunned for a moment... a little unbelievably seemed to think of something, and immediately got up and was about to run down the mountain:
"The last general will seal the city gate..."

"Need not."

Master Huqiu interrupted him:

"People are still inside."

Hearing this, General Xue stood up immediately holding a long lance:

"The last general will go here..."

"No need."

Lord Fox Qiu stopped General Xue again.

"……grown ups?"

General Xue was taken aback for a moment, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"I said no."

Looking at the torch dragon that was marching rapidly, Lord Huqiu's tone was flat:

"Just wait here."

"..."

Hearing this, General Xue thought for a while and asked in a low voice:

"My lord, the last general has the courage to ask... what are you waiting for, my lord?"

"Just waiting for a result."

In the wind and snow, Lord Huqiu's tone became more and more erratic.

For a moment, he said:

"Release Ye Xiao, I want to know what happened inside."

General Xue was taken aback, but his hands and feet were not slow. He touched in his arms, and he threw out a wooden mechanism bird the size of half a palm.

After throwing it out, the wings of the mechanism bird trembled a few times with the help of the wind, and with General Xue's "Chasing!", it disappeared into the night.
