Chapter 370 Secrets and Undercurrents
At the top of the peak, the four of them stood on an arc-shaped platform.
Climbing to the top, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the cold wind hunting on the top of the mountain also blows over the colorful robes worn by several people.
A beautiful woman with a flat body, a crooked old man with a cane, a handsome middle-aged man, and a fat man.
The appearances are different, but the only thing in common is that the auras of the four people on the top of the mountain are all as long as the tide, unfathomable.
The four of them stood on the top of the mountain without speaking, braving the cold wind for about half an hour.
"Tsk."
A click of the tongue suddenly sounded, and the rough voice was very dissatisfied:
"Tai Shiran, you called us to this Wanli Peak with the order of Tiange, just to accompany you here to drink the northwest wind?"
As soon as the voice came out,
The other three people all looked in the direction of the sound.
It was the fat middle-aged fat man.
Fat accumulated on his cheeks, his eyes were squeezed into slits, and the vision revealed in the small eyes carried a bit of coldness.
Seeing that the three of them were all looking over, the fat man's squinting eyes also swept over the other three.
The people he glanced at all frowned slightly.
Especially that middle-aged beautiful woman, when the fat man passed her eyes, her eyes immediately revealed a touch of disgust.
A whirlwind emerged from her body out of thin air, rolling some gravel, and the white tulle dress embroidered with exquisite flower and bird patterns fluttered along with it.
Tiexuanmen is a major forging tool, and the Fatty's spiritual eyes have the ability to see through objects and reach the core.
The middle-aged fat man was so excited to see the beautiful woman, Sen Leng squinted his eyes a little helplessly, but he didn't explain anything.
Because of his skills, many people have some prejudice against him.
Over the years, he has also gotten used to it.
In silence,
"Ah"
With a chuckle, the handsome middle-aged man said slowly:
"There is still a friend coming, please stay safe and calm Elder Zhou."
The middle-aged fat man raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, glanced at the few people again, and said with great interest:
"Oh, and, I don't know Tai Shiran, which Taoist friend did you find?"
Tai Shiran smiled slightly and said in a low voice:
"I wonder if Brother Zhou has heard of the name Jing Tingxi?"
“.”
As soon as the name came out, the pupils of the other three present shrank.
This name is not unfamiliar to them at all.
After all, everyone present has come all the way from that era.
Jing Tingxi was the most popular name in their era.
A wild boy who came out of nowhere, ravaged the world with his evil skills, and once won the first place in the Tianyuan Grand Competition under a pseudonym.
If it wasn't for the sudden birth of Xu Yinhe back then, this person can almost be said to be the arrogance of the world.
But this Jing Tingxi was like a shooting star passing by. After a dazzling period of time, this person suddenly disappeared.
There are rumors among the high-level sects that this is because Jing Tingxi once tried to assassinate the late emperor by relying on his own special secret method.
But the palace is well-prepared and fortified, protected by saints, guarded by a large formation, and there are strong military formations stationed all year round.
Jing Tingxi was naturally inferior in skills, and was directly killed by a strong man in the palace.
Now it seems
Thinking to this point, the old man frowned and said:
"Brother Taishi, do you mean that Jing Tingxi did not die in the palace back then?"
Tai Shiran chuckled when he heard the words, the mountain wind brushed the smile on his lips, and his tone was soft:
"Never, back then he was only seriously injured and escaped."
The middle-aged beautiful woman's face is beautiful and dignified, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, and the cherry mouth is lightly opened, exuding a faint fragrance, with a hint of expectation:
"Brother, will Jing Tingxi also participate in this trip?"
"Of course not."
Tai Shiran shook his head, his tone was flat: "He is dead."
The middle-aged beautiful woman lowered her eyes and sighed in her heart.
The middle-aged fat man looked a little annoyed, and said sharply:
"Tai Shiran, you are kidding us, since you are dead, what are you doing?"
"Brother Zhou is still the same, with such a straightforward temper."
Tai Shiran was not annoyed when he heard the words, and said with a light smile: "It is naturally related to him when it is mentioned."
said,
He chuckled lightly and said:
"Although Jing Tingxi is dead, he still has many confidante and close friends in this world."
After finishing speaking, Tai Shiran glanced at the beautiful middle-aged woman over there.
Everyone present saw Tai Shiran's eyes.
The old man just pretended not to see it.
The middle-aged fat man showed a playful smile in his eyes.
Now this dignified middle-aged beautiful woman was well-known in the past, and she had a romantic relationship with many arrogant men.
Ran Jianli, Xu Yinhe, Jing Tingxi and other top geniuses, this woman has posted them all.
However, the first two obviously didn't like her, and the latter was already known for her flair, so she should have had a wonderful memory.
Of course, her current husband is unaware of these things.
After all, her husband is her disciple, and he is only in his forties now.
The middle-aged beautiful woman naturally knew what the three of them were thinking, so she snorted coldly, and her voice was no longer gentle:
"Since Jing Tingxi's best friend is willing to help, then the purpose of our trip is related to Jing Tingxi's death?"
Tai Shiran gazed at the skyline, and replied unhurriedly:
"It's related."
"Is it?"
"certainly."
Tai Shiran's eyes flashed sharply, but his tone was still smiling: "After all, our trip should be regarded as revenge for the murderer who killed Jing Tingxi."
The middle-aged fat man touched his fat chin:
"Oh? Jing Tingxi was a metamorphosis when he disappeared back then. Who can kill him in today's world?"
Tai Shiran looked back and took a deep look at Fatty,
Whisper softly:
"Xiangfu."
“.”
As soon as the word came out, the atmosphere on the top of the Wanli Mountain instantly froze, and a needle could be heard.
Tai Shiran didn't seem to feel the solemnity, he took a step towards the cliff with his golden boots, looked at the lush forest below, and said to himself:
"The pavilion master told me that after Jing Tingxi disappeared, he went to the burial village, recuperated his wounds there, became holy there, and then they were wiped out."
The hand of the crutch that the crooked old man was leaning on was a little hard, and the old voice was extremely serious:
"I've heard about the burial village as a brother. The strong men hidden in it should be no less than a large sect. Can Brother Taishi tell us why Xu Yinhe went to such lengths to slaughter there?"
Tai Shiran suddenly grinned:
"Do you know that the personal friendship between Xu Yinhe and Jing Tingxi back then was inseparable?"
Silent, no one answered.
"That's right, no one in this world would know these secrets if the Pavilion Master didn't deduce them."
Tai Shiran shook his head, said with a low smile:
"The reason why Jing Tingxi sneaked into the palace back then was because of Xu Yinhe's plan.
When the middle-aged fat man heard the words, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
With the help of Xu Yinhe, it's no wonder that Jing Tingxi was able to sneak into the palace in a transformed body.
After a short pause, he frowned and asked:
"But since Xu Yinhe's plan has reached this point, why did Jing Tingxi escape? He died in the palace, which should be more in line with the interests of those two people."
Tai Shiran shook his head, said with a low smile:
"Brother Zhou, didn't you pay attention to the court affairs back then?
"If Jing Tingxi died, how could they plant this blood debt on the prince back then? The prince was on duty at the Military Affairs Department that night."
said,
Tai Shiran's eyes revealed a hint of meaning:
"Do some unconventional things in advance, so that the late emperor was angry and took the initiative to summon Li Yaoxuan into the palace that night, and then designed an assassination to make him risk his life to save him, and then helped the assassin escape."
The rickety old man smelled hesitation in his cloudy eyes when he heard the secret:
"Wouldn't the late emperor doubt such a coincidence?"
“.”
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Tai Shiran remembered his expression when he heard about this, and chuckled lightly:
"Naturally, they will be suspicious, but this is also part of their plan.
"Xu Yinhe and Li Yaoxuan's methods are very clever, and Li Yaoxuan's unconventional actions at the beginning were full of clues, as if they were framed by others.
"Besides, it was a secret order that the first emperor summoned Li Yaoxuan, and no one knew about the relationship between Xu Yinhe and Jing Tingxi. This suspicion would turn into suspicion of the prince when Li Yaoxuan was seriously injured and dying.
"If Li Yaoxuan hadn't risked his life to save him, the first emperor would have died right then.
"After all, how can there be a seventy-year-old prince in this world?
"You should all know what happened after that. Li Yaoxuan won the position of competing with the crown prince, but the crown prince's power was cut step by step because of his suspicion that his position was unstable, so he took the risk and remonstrated with the palace."
The words fell silent, and it was quiet for a long time.
"Hehehe"
The stooped old man suddenly let out a low dry laugh, held his crutches and bowed his hands toward the southern void: "The master of the pavilion is really cultivated to the sky. If it weren't for such means, no one in the world would know about this secret."
After the ceremony, the old man said softly:
"So, Xu Yinhe destroyed the burial village because he knew in advance that the pavilion master wanted to expose the events of decades ago, so he cut the weeds and rooted them out in advance?"
Tai Shiran's eyes flashed a light, and he shook his head:
"Let Xu Yinhe's methods reach the sky, but given the meticulousness of the Pavilion Master's actions, how could he find out?
"Even though we haven't contacted each other for decades, Jing Tingxi is naturally more inclined to trust a friend who was once invincible than a stranger. After the Pavilion Master informed Jing Tingxi, he took the initiative to contact Xu Yinhe for an explanation. result."
Hearing this, the three present were all stunned for a moment.
It wasn't that he was surprised by Jing Tingxi's choice, nor was he surprised by Xu Yinhe's cold-bloodedness, but was wondering why the pavilion master would act like this.
Isn't the pavilion master able to deduce the future?
The strong men in the burial village can basically be equivalent to the first-class large sects in the world.
A sage, from the beginning of the mortal world.
Wouldn't it be better to win over the strong among them than to let them be besieged?
Tai Shiran looked at the puzzlement in the eyes of the three, and exhaled gently:
"You guys are wondering why the pavilion master would do this?"
The rickety old man had a high level of political awareness, and immediately shook his head:
"Everything the Pavilion Master does is justified, and it is normal for us not to understand."
Tai Shiran snorted:
"When I asked the pavilion master, she only said that this is the best choice in the future, and that a chess piece is more important than those strong men in the burial village."
Speaking of this, a sigh appeared on his handsome cheek:
"However, now that ink has shrouded the future, this optimal solution probably no longer exists."
The voice fell, and the top of Wanli Mountain was speechless.
The other three people who heard the secret did not speak any more, while blowing the cold wind, while digesting the information they just learned.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the floating clouds on the sky condensed and blew away.
The rising sun hanging high in the sky gradually slanted westward, and the golden rising sun dyed a large area of fields and forests red.
And when it was about to sink into the ground, a wave of source energy suddenly came from the sky covered by the golden sun.
The four of them, who had been blowing a cold wind on the top of the mountain all day, looked up at the same time.
This source of qi is neither strong nor weak, and it can't be seen that the person has cultivated it. It seems that the person who came here intentionally suppressed his own qi when he was on his way.
From time to time, a woman in a black skirt came to the top of the mountain.
Under the cover of the black dress and the setting sun, the woman's white skin is as pure as snow, and the **** charm in the eyes makes people involuntarily attracted.
And after seeing the person coming.
Except for Tai Shiran, the other three were all shocked. With their cultivation bases, they couldn't see through the other party's state.
Shedding the world and going up.
Landing on the top of the mountain, when the woman in the black skirt was walking, a pair of jade legs were looming between the hem of the skirt.
Come closer, her eyes are as magnificent as amber, and her voice is as clear as a silver bell, but her tone is indifferent:
"There were some accidents on the way, and it was half a day later than the agreed time."
Tai Shiran gracefully salutes:
"Half a day is fine, that person should still be some distance away from here."
The woman in the black skirt glanced at the people behind Tai Shiran, and asked in a low voice:
"These are all the people on this trip?"
Tai Shiran smiled slightly:
"Fairy Luo thinks it's not enough?"
The woman in the black dress replied calmly:
"The woman surnamed Lou has not shown up in Guangyang Mansion for a long time, and it is very likely that she went south with that person."
"." Tai Shiran narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
"Hehehe"
During the brief silence, the middle-aged fat man suddenly smiled kindly, his eyes narrowed brightly: "Brother Tai Shi, everyone is here now, can you tell us the purpose of our trip?"
The woman surnamed Luo frowned slightly upon hearing this, and glanced at Tai Shiran:
"They don't know the purpose of this trip?"
Tai Shiran raised his hand to signal to be safe, turned around and said softly:
"Three, the purpose of our trip is very simple, to assassinate a blood relative of Xu Yinhe."
“.”
The middle-aged fat man was taken aback when he heard the words, and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes became like he was looking at a lunatic.
fell silent for a while, and finally the middle-aged beautiful woman on the side frowned and asked:
"Tai Shiran, is this the Pavilion Master's intention, or your own?"
Tai Shiran did not answer this question directly:
"It can be regarded as my meaning, and it can also be regarded as the pavilion master's meaning."
said,
He took out a gossip instrument plate engraved with complicated formations from the Sumeru ring, and said slowly:
"Although the pavilion master didn't expressly tell me, he gave me this."
"Lingtian instrument?"
The rickety old man narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly: "I remember that this thing is used to probe the bones of mortals, looking for talented and intelligent people."
"Yes, but that's only one of its uses."
Tai Shiran shook his head, and said in a low voice: "The other function of this secret treasure is to detect people with the soul of Yantian. It is a sacred object used by the pavilion masters of the past to monitor the saints and sons."
The middle-aged fat man said solemnly:
"What do you mean by that?"
Tai Shiran chuckled softly:
"The Holy Maiden passed the Yantian Divine Soul Chapter to Xu Yinhe's blood relative, and the pavilion master handed it over to me. Brother Zhou, what do you think the pavilion master wants?"
