Chapter 102 You must die today!
At the foot of Shugu Mountain.
Bao Buyi and Chen Xuanli both came behind Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was reading three letters, two of which were sent by Chen Xuanli. The purpose was to inform the two of them of the military situation in Mobei, to act out a trick with the Yin-Yang Taoist priests and delay time. Coming with him was Da Siming, who was seriously poisoned.
The last letter was sent by Bao Buyi, and it contained a comprehensive plan to uncover the mastermind behind the incident.
What Xu Da passed to Donghuang Taiyi in the name of asking for a list was the content of the third letter.
Zhu Di was more and more shocked as he read the letter. He murmured, "This guy is really resourceful. He found the person behind the scenes so quickly. Before this, she hid everything perfectly..."
Bao Buyi whispered, "My master said that she was forced into a corner. She saw that after several attempts, the imperial court and Yin Yang Dao still couldn't fight. The Yin Yang Dao was getting closer and closer. If she didn't take action, she might be caught by the Moon Goddess. She could only fight to the death, but it would reveal her flaws..."
"That's true."
Zhu Di nodded. "It was not in vain that Yue Shen went to see him. He has already made a rough guess and locked the candidates on those who practiced the evil dual cultivation technique. If we investigate them one by one, we will always find clues. When you are pushed to the limit, you will naturally jump off the wall. But, I didn't expect that there would be the matter of the Mobei people... I have to remind Duke Song."
The Duke of Song is Feng Sheng, one of the six founding dukes, a powerful fifth realm warrior, and Chang Mao's father-in-law.
His current official title is the Right Deputy General of the Zhenglu Army, responsible for guarding the Gubeikou Great Wall.
Bao Buyi reported: "On the way here, I have already informed Duke Zheng. My master has a letter for Duke Song. It will save a lot of trouble if Duke Zheng delivers it. Duke Song is a founding duke and a brave general. As long as he knows about the Langman plan, he will naturally have a way to deal with it. I think there is no need to worry."
Zhu Di looked at him and said, "My elder brother has a good eye for picking you as a centurion. You are quite smart in handling affairs."
Bao Buyi smiled shyly: "My master is not an ordinary person, we can only try our best to follow."
"very good."
Zhu Di looked ahead, eager to try: "The next step is to put on a show with the Yin-Yang Dao, lure Nairbuhua into the pass, and then close the door and beat the dog! General, I think..."
"No."
Xu Da knew what he wanted to do as soon as he heard it, and simply refused: "Swords have no eyes, you can't go!"
Zhu Di frowned and said, "General, my father asked me to be a vassal in Beiping, not to be a vase."
Xu Da sighed and said, "You are only twenty."
Zhu Di was not convinced: "Prince Kaiping started to gather people and rob people when he was only 20 years old!"
Xu Da's eyes twitched: "..."
Zhu Di probably felt that this example was not appropriate, and coughed: "Didn't the general join the rebel army when he was 20? Father was not as good as him, he was still a monk at that time... Well, Huo Qubing was 18 years old, he led 800 cavalrymen deep into the desert, won the first place in the army twice, and was awarded the title of Champion Marquis! If he can do it, why can't I, Your Highness?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, Xu Da knew that he had to go. "Then wait. The real murderer has been found. The Yin-Yang Dao will surely be able to arrest him soon. There must be Mobei spies in the city. This battle must be acted out realistically so that Nai'er Buhua will be fooled. When the show is over, I will go with you."
Zhu Di wanted to bargain again, but Xu Da said directly: "Why don't you go? I don't want the Prince of Yan to die, I don't want my son-in-law to die, and I don't want my daughter to lose her husband after just a few years of marriage! This matter is not negotiable!"
"..."
Zhu Di had no choice but to obey orders. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was here, he would not let him go to the battlefield.
He asked him to learn how to command troops from Xu Da, not to be a vanguard. He could only think about leading by example.
"Okay, let's talk about it after the show."
……
The forbidden area of Yin and Yang Taoism.
Donghuang Taiyi led twelve pairs of men and women out of the dark barrier and came to the inner cave.
The inside of the cave was built into small compartments, each containing a different treasure. Some were rare spiritual plants, some were gems and walking sticks that amplified magic, some were the mysterious bones of ancestors, and there were also stone slabs with special magic spells engraved on them. There were all kinds of treasures. The deepest and largest stone chamber contained Yanjia [Taibai Star].
Donghuang Taiyi led everyone to stand in front of the door, opened the stone door, and entered the door with a dazzling golden color.
The star Taibai comes into view.
This is a humanoid armor made of gold and iron, about ten feet tall, the tallest of the five-star armors. It looks like a general wearing golden armor, with extremely gorgeous patterns and awe-inspiring appearance. He holds the Earth-level magic weapon [Phantom Gold Sword] in his hand, in the shape of a Tang sword, shining with golden light, and the overall shape is slender and domineering.
Donghuang Taiyi looked at Taibaixing and said, "In the past, Yin-Yang Dao exchanged five secret arts for Gongshu's mechanical arts. The spiritual core of this Taibaixing contains the gold arts "North Pole Celestial Magnetic Art" and "Thousand Scales Art". It is famous for its sword-controlling skills. The phantom golden sword in its hand is the magic weapon carried by old man Lanling in the past. It can transform one sword into seven swords, or seven swords into one. When it attacks, it is the [North Star Seven Star Sword Formation]. The seven swords leap and wield like lightning, sometimes going straight forward, sometimes turning in a circle. The sword energy is grim. Anyone who enters the formation, as strong as the famous general Wang Yanzhang, will be strangled by the seven swords and shattered to pieces!"
Great!
The disciples couldn't help but look longing.
Donghuang Taiyi sighed, "What a pity... If the flying sword is not maintained for one day, the previous hundred days of hard work will be wasted. If it is not maintained for three days, the flying sword will completely lose its spiritual energy and become no different from scrap copper and rotten iron. The same is true for Yanjia and Huanjin Sword. Now both have been wasted for four hundred years. Even if they can be lit up, I am afraid they will not be able to exert their power for a while. We can only take it slowly... According to the progress of your cultivation, you will line up and try one by one. Time is running out, hurry up!"
"Yes!"
All the disciples listened to the order. The twenty-four people were divided into twelve pairs and lined up in order.
Donghuang Taiyi entered first and gestured toward the door.
The first pair was Yan Shanming and Tao Yaoyao. They had practiced "Sun and Moon Shine Together" to the highest level, but they had obviously practiced it wrong. The real double cultivation was to put the palms together and let the yin and yang energies complement each other. These two had obviously practiced the art of sex. Yan Shanming's eyes turned blue, and Tao Yaoyao was also covered in dust. Donghuang Taiyi turned a blind eye to this.
The two tried one by one, but Taibaixing showed no reaction and could only retreat in disappointment.
Then it was the turn of the second pair, Lu Tianhua and Lin Xianrong.
This pair's progress was a little slower, but they practiced the right way and did not go astray in the pursuit of progress. Their aura was purer and more powerful.
However, at the moment they entered the stone gate, Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand, and a magical power hit the wall, causing the Dragon-Breaking Stone to hit the ground with a bang. A huge stone weighing thousands of pounds fell with a deafening sound!
Donghuang Taiyi waved his hands again and again, and another mirror fell down, blocking Taibai Star and leaving no space for him to cast any spell.
"Tao Master?"
The stone room suddenly became quiet. Before Lu Tianhua could react, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing..."
"It's like catching a turtle in a jar."
Before Donghuang Taiyi could speak, Zhao Wumian came out from the secret passage in the corner and looked at Lin Xianrong: "Do we still need to act?"
The Moon Goddess also came out, and made a seal with her hands, which was the Yin-Yang sealing technique [Seal of the Ten Earths]. Both the earth escape technique and Meng Ji's method of escaping into the five elements were ineffective.
Lin Xianrong remained calm and looked at Zhao Wumian curiously.
Lu Tianhua reacted and was shocked. He immediately hid in the direction of Zhao Wumian: "So it's you——"
As he spoke, he hid a dagger in his sleeve and stabbed it quickly at Zhao Wumian!
Zhao Wumian kicked him away with one kick. He didn't even look at him from beginning to end. He stared at Lin Xianrong with his eyes and sneered, "You want to play this trick on me? No matter if he is your puppet or not, I won't let him get close to me! From the past fights, you shouldn't be the kind of person who uses such tricks. What's the matter? Are you out of tricks?"
"..."
Lin Xianrong then put away the expression on his face, and his aura suddenly changed, from a gentle true disciple to a sinister venomous snake, staring at Zhao Wumian: "Zhao Wumian?"
Zhao Wumian: “Yes.”
Lin Xianrong: "How did you find me?"
Zhao Wumian: "It's very simple. I followed the materials to find Liu Guangyu, and then followed Liu Guangyu to find Guo Dunru. Then I found the smell of gunpowder and grease in the letter he left behind. It's clearly related to the Fire Department and the Instrument Department."
Lin Xianrong: "Then you shouldn't doubt me. I'm not from the Fire Department, nor the Weapon Department."
Zhao Wumian: "There are overlaps between the departments. Guo Zhongwen is from the Metal Department. In addition to practicing the Heavenly Magnetic Technique and the Sword Controlling Technique, he also knows 'alchemy', turning stones into gold and smelting metals. Da Siming is from the Fire Department. In addition to the Fire Control Technique, he also has the Fire Refining Technique, and can make pills and tools. The first department that can come into contact with both of them at the same time is the Tool Department. But I ruled it out immediately."
Lin Xianrong: “Why?”
Zhao Wumian sneered, "Because you are too clever for your own good! There are four departments that practice mechanical arts. Elder Guo Zhongwen of the Gold Department is in trouble, Elder Yuwen Ying of the Fire Department is in trouble, and the two disciples are all major suspects. Now they smell the scent of the Instrument Department, and add another one! But nothing happened to the Wood Department where you are, and you are the second in line for the mechanical arts... I don't doubt who you suspect?"
The person who is ranked first and the primary beneficiary must be the most suspicious and will definitely be the focus of investigation.
The Yin-Yang Dao has indeed been doing this recently, starting from investigating the family background of Yan Shanming and Tao Yaoyao, and all the time has been wasted on the two of them.
Also because of the relationship between Guo Zhongwen and Da Siming, it is easier to take action because they are close to each other. The Yin-Yang Dao must have conducted a lot of investigations on the disciples of these two departments. The true teachings of the Gold Department and the Fire Department are also the focus of defense.
Also.
Even if someone finds the envelope, based on the smell, they will first suspect the fire department and the instrument department.
The more Yin-Yang Dao struggles with these three tribes, the more time it gives Lin Xianrong!
This Lin Xianrong is indeed smart.
However, even the wisest man can make mistakes. The problem was that she was under too much pressure and needed others to share the suspicion so that the blame would not be placed on her. So she tried every means to divert the attention of the Yin-Yang Dao, which put herself in an "absolutely clean" state. This state itself was a big problem!
"In addition to the Instrument Department, the Wood Department can actually contact Guo Zhongwen and Yuwen Ying, because the Wood Department is also responsible for the cultivation of spiritual plants. One of them is suffering from old age and illness and needs to boil medicine, and the other wants to use spiritual plants to make pills. Shao Siming is in charge of the Yin-Yang Taoist medicine garden, and you are the one who helps her take care of the flowers and plants! So you can deceive these two people's trust and wait for an opportunity to take action!"
Donghuang Taiyi and Yueshen had figured it out by now, but this was because of Zhao Wumian's reminder. Otherwise, they would have first suspected the true inheritance of the weapon department, which was ranked third.
"..."
Lin Xianrong's face became increasingly gloomy as he stared at Zhao Wumian.
Zhao Wumian said: "You have the [Jade Amber] in your hand, Shao Siming may have been hypnotized by you, and there may even be others, so we just acted and separated the elders from each department, letting you come here alone! If you come, we will arrest you, if you don't come, you will confess! I bet you will come, because you want Taibai, and you have the fourth level of 'Yinghuo' on you. If you fail, Taibai and Yinghuo can fight to the death... Now, Taibai is not in your hand, and you are trapped again. Let's see how you can fight!"
Donghuang Taiyi made a seal with his hands, and Xuanguan Tai Chi appeared in his palm, and he performed the supreme Yin-Yang magic!
The Moon Goddess sealed the entire stone chamber with [Ten Earth Seal]!
The two great realms faced Lin Xianrong, and the feeling of oppression was overwhelming.
Lin Xianrong is only at the third realm. She relies on [Jade Amber] and Yanjia, but the strongest Yanjia is only at the fourth realm. It is impossible for her to defeat the leader of a sect, the Yin-Yang Taoist master Donghuang Taiyi. The fate that awaits her is already doomed.
Zhao Wumian didn't believe that she could run away like this.
Even if you are the son of luck, you must die today!
