Gaowu Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Five Dou Rice Religion

Chapter 57
"Saint!"

The leading middle-aged Taoist priest came forward with a worried face, and said with concern: "I didn't hurt you."

"No."

Zhang Qiying shook her head and said, "Junior brother is very powerful. Uncle Xing, what's going on?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest named Xing Mu, styled Shuanglin, was originally a servant of the Zhang family, but was later adopted by Zhang Heng as a foster son and became Zhang Lu's foster brother.

He is loyal, diligent, and never pretends to be Zhang Lu's brother-in-law. He is cautious and prudent, and has won the trust of Zhang's family.

Xing Mu explained: "Master returned to Motian Ridge this morning with a rare treasure [Zhenxie Peak]. There are rams offering wine and retreating in the back mountain. This thief saw the emptiness in the door and came to steal treasures! Fortunately, there was a [Silk Array], which was discovered in advance by us and set up a trap. Unexpectedly... I almost let him give it away. I ran away, and I almost hurt you..."

Xing Mu let out a long sigh, and said with shame: "I am incompetent..."

Zhang Qiying hurriedly said: "It's none of Uncle Xing's business, it's just a coincidence that I came back, and besides, I wasn't injured, Uncle Xing shouldn't blame himself."

"..."

Xing Mu smiled bitterly, looking at Zhang Qiying, his eyes were full of love and guilt.

At this time, the other disciples had captured the man in black, hooked the pipa through the bone of the lute, and escorted him away.

"I'm afraid it's not just about stealing treasure..."

Lu Jing stared at the man in black and said, "He used the Jiulizhai Lightness Kung Fu "Four Ghosts Flowing Wind". I have seen this kind of lightness kung fu from Pang Xi's son Pang Ye. I am afraid that this person's identity and purpose are not simple. .”

A gleam of appreciation flashed across Xing Mu's eyes, and he looked at Lu Jing: "This is..."

Lu Jing cupped his fists and introduced himself: "Junior Lu Jing, Lu Dongting."

"Oh."

Xing Mu suddenly realized, his expression became more friendly, and he said: "It turns out that Fan Jijiu is a high-ranking apprentice, and his name has been heard for a long time. The holy lady has explained before the retreat, and ordered me to prepare the room first. Qisha, today I protect the saint again, I will report the truth and ask for credit for you."

Lu Jingdao: "It's as it should be, what merits are there. Seniors are polite."

Xing Mu was even more satisfied, and stretched out his hand to lead: "There are many people here, let's go in first, let me explain the details."

"it is good."

Lu Jing led Wang Shuang and Hu Cong up the steps.

All the disciples dispersed, returned to their original positions, and performed their duties.

Three thousand steps quickly passed.

Lu Jing and the others entered the gate of the main altar, and they really saw the scenery inside the mansion, which was even more amazing than the view from a distance.

There are exotic flowers and plants all over the mansion, which are really beautiful and elegant.

Zhang Qiying happily introduced Lu Jing as she walked.

The mansion faces south as a whole, with the mansion gate, the second gate, and the private mansion as the central axis.

Dao Qi Chang Cun Hall is the meeting place in the lobby of the government office, Wen Dao Hall is used to teach exercises, Xuan Tan Hall records meritorious contributions, and Jianping practice martial arts duels. The bronze statues of Taishang, Houtu, and Five Emperors are enshrined in the middle, and then there are private residences, the residences of disciples and sacrifices.

At this time, many disciples were dealing with the traces of the previous fight. When they saw Zhang Qiying coming over, they called her a saint and showed respect.

Xing Mu led a few people across the road, and entered a secluded courtyard in the back hall, which was also a place to stay that had been prepared for Lu Jing and others, and then he began to explain the ins and outs:
"Three months ago, Shijun took advantage of Qisha to go out to attack Brazil, captured and killed Pang Xi in one fell swoop, destroyed Fenglei Villa, and avenged his wife and young master. This move was very gratifying, but it also buried many hidden dangers..."

Xing Mu sighed: "Pang Xi has worked hard in Brazil County for more than ten years. Although the tree fell, the roots are very deep! In the past ten years, Pang Xi either bought it or married him, and made friends with many local nobles.

Near Dangqu, the Yi clan split, and some of them broke away from the Yi king and became Pang Xi's private soldiers. The disciples and old officials spread all over the eight counties of Brazil!However, this is not the most difficult thing, he also secretly colluded with Jiuli Village..."

Jiuli Village is one of the best among the Southern Barbarian forces, so it should not be underestimated.

Lu Jing and Zhang Qiying straightened their faces.

Xing Mudao: "As the nephew said, Pang Xi's son, Pang Ye, secretly worshiped the right guardian of Jiuli Village, Tanhua, and entered into a marriage contract with the village owner's daughter, Feng Xiao, to show that the two families will be united forever. Feng Xiao also sent a gift The treasure of Pang Ye Township [Ecstasy Gu]... Liu Jijiu just didn't check for a while, and died under this Gu..."

While speaking, he looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing nodded and said: "It fell into my hands after that, and I used it to control Pang Ye, with the help of Tianleizi, except for the Diao Weng and the Intestine Piercing Sword."

"This matter has been reported to the general forum, and we all admire it very much!"

Xing Mu clapped his palms and exclaimed, "My nephew's intelligence is extraordinary!"

"Senior, it's Tianleizi who is the best."

Lu Jing said modestly, and pondered: "So, that man in black is just to avenge Pang Xi and Pang Ye?"

"Yes, there have been no less than ten similar incidents."

Xing Mu took out a box from his arms and put it on the table. After opening it, there was a red centipede inside, very similar to Pang Ye's.

But the amazing thing is that it has a pair of transparent dragonfly-like wings growing on its back!

Lu Jing frowned and said, "This is... [Wind Centipede Gu]?"

"Yes."

Xing Mu said solemnly: "The purpose of the man in black is not just to steal treasure, I also found this Gu worm behind the door knocker of the Treasure Pavilion...Thanks to the preparations made by the saint, she gave me the [Poison-avoiding Pearl] in advance." ], as soon as it got close, the Wind Centipede Gu reacted and found it, otherwise... I am afraid that someone will follow in the footsteps of Liu Jijiu!"

Xing Mu had lingering fear on his face.

Lu Jing and Zhang Qiying also felt terrified, unable to defend themselves.

Xing Mu said: "It's because I was slow to deal with it. I couldn't chase that person out in time after a sneak attack and harm the saint..."

"Uncle Xing, don't do that."

Zhang Qiying interrupted him and said: "The most important thing is to deal with this poison, otherwise it will be too dangerous! The next thing is unexpected, so don't worry about Uncle Xing..." Zhang Qiying frowned and said strangely: "But...how did he know that Daddy came back, and that he and Second Uncle, Aunt and the others will break the restriction on rare treasures in the back mountain, and the defense in the mansion is empty, so he deliberately chose this time to release Gu worms..."

Lu Jing thought, what could be the reason? Of course someone tipped the news!Anyway, either there are spies in the main forum, or there are problems in Brazil!
Can get this information...

This person's position is not low...

"It's time for interrogation."

Xing Mu clenched his fists, and said with a cold face: "It is very likely that he is a supernatural power inside and a ghost outside! We must find him out!"

"Hu Cong can help with this matter."

Lu Jingdao: "He is very good at this now, there is no mouth that cannot be pried open."

"it is good!"

Xing Mu smiled and said: "Then trouble him to come with me, it would be the best if there is really something to gain."

"It seems that Brazil County is in crisis."

After listening to the cause and effect, Lu Jing sighed secretly: "This Jiuli Village is so powerful, I am afraid that the master is also in danger, plus Liu Bei is watching the upper reaches of the Jialing River, and may go down the river at any time. There are internal and external troubles in Langzhong, no wonder there is a lack of people... ..."

The stakes are high.

But at the same time, it is also an opportunity.

"Taking such a big risk, Zhang Lu first abandoned his master, and then sent his aunt to repair it. This time, he was ordered to accept the order in danger, and then in danger... just caught a sheep. If he didn't give some big money, I'm afraid it wouldn't be justified... "

Lu Jing played with the teacup, his face was flat, and he thought to himself: "It depends on Zhang Lu's sincerity. I want to become stronger. If you can afford the bargaining chip, then I will help. If you can't, you'd better give it to me." ..."
