Jiaohua

Chapter 1417
Quan Jiuwei looked away, speechless.

He couldn't be more clear about the character of his adoptive father.

If you don't run away, you're not Chong Menhui.

Yang Guanxian looked at Old Sovereign Gu and asked worriedly: "Senior, why did you mention my second brother suddenly? Is it... something happened to my second brother?"

Old Sect Master Gu smiled: "No, I've seen Taoist Temple of Lingfeng Mountain, Fellow Daoist Yang Changshan."

"Ah?" Yang Guanxian was startled, "Senior, have you seen my second brother?"

"Yeah, he looks exactly like you, but he's much thinner," Gu said, and looked at Quan Jiuwei, "Chongmenhui ran away as soon as he said, leaving a bunch of brothers behind. Even you They couldn't stand our trial at the beginning, let alone these 'brothers'. They have told everything they know, including Zhang Puxiang, the former Minister of Rites of Xizhou Prefecture, and his family under your threat It also includes that Yang Changshan accidentally ruined your original plan on the day of Guyu, if this plan is broken, you will be angry and transfer your anger to others."

Yang Guanxian said: "Huh? Co-author, am I the one who was angered?"

"En." Old Sovereign Master Gu nodded.

Yang Guanxian covered the wound on his lower abdomen, paused, and glared at Quan Jiuwei angrily: "Quan Jiuwei! When I was in Huiping's pawn shop, although I was not close to you, I was thinking of brothers who are also members of the blood alliance. , I have given you more than ten times of silver relief! I didn’t say I was kind to you, but I never hurt you! Now you want me to die because of anger! You wolf-hearted thing!"

"It's useless to scold him," said Old Sect Master Gu, "No matter how much you scold him, he won't be moved by his temperament, and he won't show any guilt."

Yang Guanxian was startled at this moment, and looked back at Old Sect Master Gu: "Senior, can you ask if they hurt my second brother? Where is my second brother now?"

"They have this plan, but they can't spare any manpower to go to Lingfeng Mountain for the time being."

Yang Guanxian heaved a long sigh of relief: "This is good, this is good."

As he said that, Yang Guanxian looked at Steward Leng: " Steward Leng, slap him twice again!"

Steward Leng raised his hand and slapped Quan Jiuwei in the face, slapping him twice.

Quan Jiuwei gritted his teeth in anger, and glared ferociously at Manager Leng.

Steward Leng didn't do anything to him, raised his hand to represent himself, and gave Quan Jiuwei a third resounding slap across the face.

Yang Guanxian felt more relieved, turned his head to the old suzerain, cupped his fists and said respectfully: "Senior, from the mouths of Quan Jiuwei's comrades, have you asked what their plan is, and how my second brother beat you by mistake? Accidentally crashed and ruined their plans."

Old Sect Master Gu nodded, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Yang Guanxian took it, and Mu Tingyu got up to look at it.

"It's a map." Yang Guanxian said.

"Well," Master Gu said, "the tallest mountain in Mingtai County is called Jixing Mountain. Jixing Mountain is a vast mountain range, occupying more than half of Xizhou and including all the mountains in Xiaozhou. There are large and small mountain ranges on Jixing Mountain. There are nearly [-] temples and Taoist temples, one of which is called Yuetang Temple. The Jixing Terrace on the back mountain of Yuetang Temple was once as famous as Lingyun Peak in Yeshan Mountain. But later, Yuetang Temple declined."

Yang Guanxian has heard of these, but he doesn't know the specifics: "Old man, why did it decline?"

Old Sect Master Gu sighed softly: "It has been in decline for hundreds of years, and I only heard about the reasons for the reason, so I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that the masters of the Yuetang Temple were all those who saw through the world among the nobles of the royal family. Suffering from the hatred of the country, the sect gradually dispersed."

"There is another theory," said the old man who hardly spoke, "it is that there are giant beasts that devour people on the mountain."

Mu Tingyu said: "Monster?"

The old man said: "Fake."

Old Sect Master Gu looked at him: "It's fake, you still show it."

The old man's face was calm: "My big disciple has been there before." After a pause, the old man added, "I went with Shen Lie."

Old Sect Leader Gu remembered: "I knew about their going up the mountain. They were chased by officers and soldiers, and almost caused Master Tan Guan's Four Seas Teahouse in Xucheng to be copied."

The old man said: "What do you mean by being almost involved? If you do evil, you are an official and a soldier. My apprentice has not caused trouble."

Old Sect Master Gu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, tell me, what is that giant human-swallowing beast?"

"It's actually a loud noise," the old man looked at Quan Jiuwei, "Why the loud noise, do you know the reason?"

Quan Jiuwei is afraid of the old man, it has nothing to do with the old man's previous reputation, but the pain of being imprisoned in the cellar for so many days, let Quan Jiuwei deeply realize how vicious this old man is, and he knows the word torture better than anyone else how to write.

"Answer me." The old man said.

Quan Jiuwei's teeth seemed to start to ache again, he took a deep breath, and said: "Well, there are no monsters, but a mechanism. This mechanism needs to be effective on a sunny day. The iron and wood are hot and swollen in the sun, and when they are stuck into the corresponding holes, and the shaft of the mechanism is affected, there will be a loud noise."

Old Sovereign Master Gu raised his eyebrows: "From what it sounds like, that organ should be huge."

Quan Jiuwei nodded stiffly: "There are five rooms as big as your restaurant."

Gu Laozong said: "Then what is the purpose of building this organ?"

Quan Jiuwei said: "This mechanism was built 300 years ago. At that time, the government of Xizhou and Xiaozhou deliberately wanted to reorganize the Yuetang Temple. Independence."

The old man said: "Who is the builder?"

Quan Jiuwei looked up at the old man, and said in a low voice, "Yes, the Jin family. You know the Jin family, right?"

The old man didn't answer, but looked at him indifferently.

Yang Guanxian moved the map in his hand, and asked Old Sect Master Gu: "Senior, is it possible that my second brother went up to the Yuetang Temple on Jixing Mountain?"

Old Sect Master Gu said: "Since you are the eldest brother, you should know that he has been living in seclusion for these years and only comes around Qingming."

"Well, could it be that Xucheng Jixing Mountain was the one he went to during the Qingming Festival this year?"

"And he also opened the stone gate that this group of people had been planning to open."

Yang Guanxian was taken aback, and turned to Quan Jiuwei: "What is behind the stone gate?"

Quan Jiuwei said coldly: "We never went in, how do I know?"

"How do you know that my second brother drove it?"

Quan Jiuwei shut up in disgust.

Yang Guanxian shouted: "Master Leng, hit him!"

"I said!!" Quan Jiuwei roared, "The stone gate is also a Taoist mechanism. After opening it once, it needs to be calculated next time, because there is a strange-looking hourglass in the mechanism. As long as the stone gate is opened After one time, the hourglass will be turned upside down. My adoptive father said that the shape of the hourglass is as messy as hundreds of pens thrown together, and the time it takes to sink to the bottom depends on the star trails and astrology presented on the stone gate. It is extremely difficult to calculate. If you don’t want to calculate, just wait for another three years, otherwise, before the hourglass sinks to the bottom, if you go to open the stone gate again, the hourglass will be turned upside down again, and the time you waited before will be wasted.”

Mu Tingyu couldn't help but sigh: "This mechanism is exquisite."

Gu Laozong said: "The more subtle thing is that not only the hourglass is reset, but also the keyhole after it has been opened once."

Yang Guanxian raised his eyebrows: "Senior, what do you mean, the key to open the stone gate has to be found again?"

"Well, the key is even more difficult to find." Old Sect Master Gu looked at Quan Jiuwei who was slumped on the ground, "The key is a rune drawn on paper one after another. Wrap the different thin seals, and engrave the trend of the runes on the seals on the seals, and then the seals will become the keys to open the stone door. You need three keys each time, and you have to figure out which three are accurate. Make a mistake... the built-in hourglass in the mechanism will reset again."

Yang Guanxian was dumbfounded: "Ten seals, choose three out of ten. What about the runes? How many of these runes?"

"Twenty at least," old Sovereign Gu sighed, "twenty runes, each corresponding to ten ingots, a total of two hundred keys, choose three from them."

"Wrong," said the old man, "the three keyholes will appear exactly the same. You need three identical keys, so you need six hundred keys in total."

"My God, my second brother actually opened such a difficult door?!" Yang Guanxian frowned, "Well, then my second brother must have knocked on the door by mistake. It is impossible for such a stone door to be accidentally opened. !"

Old Sect Master Gu smiled and said: "What the old man said was unexpected. He meant that he accidentally offended this group of people. Look, isn't the wound on your stomach the result of anger?"

Yang Guanxian's hand touched his lower abdomen again.

With such a large amount of work, I know how many years it takes to prepare, and if someone gets on the job first, I will indeed be so angry that my hair will blow off.

Although he didn't understand, he understood why Quan Jiuwei wanted to stab him.

"I finally figured it out." Yang Guanxian said in a low voice.

Old Sovereign Master Gu smiled, and looked at shopkeeper Hu: "Xiao Hu, the dossier sent by Jingzhao Mansion yesterday, you worked hard to get it."

Shopkeeper Hu responded and fetched it quickly.

On the file is Quan Jiuwei's bloody case left in the capital.

Old Sect Master Gu handed it to Yang Guanxian: "This case has been settled, and this guy did it."

Yang Guanxian received it, looked at it word by word, and said in a low voice: "It's so cruel, no wonder." Yang Guanxian looked at Quan Jiuwei, "No wonder you left Beijing so suddenly without saying a word!"

Mu Tingyu kept leaning beside Yang Guanxian, and when he saw that the name of the person who finally approved the file was "Zhu Xian", goosebumps all over Mu Tingyu's body stood up.

Quan Jiuwei answered Yang Guanxian with a smirk on his lips.

"This is just one of them," said Old Sect Master Gu, "This person is extremely vicious and has killed countless evils. He has destroyed countless families and killed countless innocent people. This person should be worthy of the most vicious death penalty in the world!"

Quan Jiuwei still sneered, pretending to be indifferent or desperate, and looked at the old man: "I have heard that you old man never kills people, why, you want to kill me too?"

The old man looked at him without any warmth in his eyes, and it seemed that he didn't hear what he said.

Quan Jiuwei couldn't smile anymore, he clenched his fingers and realized that the old man was not asking the question of whether to kill or not.

Rather, in the eyes of the old man, he is insignificant at all, he doesn't bother to prove himself with him, and he doesn't bother to talk to him.
