Chapter 252 "The Calligrapher" Descendant Xue Ji Chooses Her Husband (Subscribe)

The night was quiet.

In the study room, Song Xuezheng said in surprise, his heart was awe-inspiring: To make the sword-wielder so tired, I don't know what kind of powerful enemy he encountered.

"..." Ji Ping'an was silent for a while, and gently raised his hand to stop the other party from thinking wildly:
"Let's get down to business. I was summoned late at night, but something urgent happened?"

It was the first time that Ji Pingan received an urgent message since he activated Yinguan, and Ji Pingan was inevitably puzzled.

Only then did Song Xuezheng's expression turn cold:
"Reporting to my lord, there is indeed an incident that is related to the Four Sages. You told me to pay attention to it for a long time. If there is any news, no matter when, I must report it immediately. That's why I took the liberty to disturb you in the middle of the night."

You really know how to find the time, it's just right, if you contact me sooner, you will be embarrassed... Ji Ping'an slandered in his heart, and asked curiously:
"Oh? What information did you learn?"

He didn't have high hopes.

After Sanhuang County, the Four Sacred Sects in Lanzhou dormant, no more movement, like a school of fish diving into the deep sea. He didn't think that the Jianghu people on the dark net could get any valuable information.

However, in the next second, Song Xuezheng said something amazing:
"To be precise, a killer from the organization entered the city and found me. He wanted to exchange some news about the gathering of the Four Saints and the 'Holy Maiden' in exchange for your help, my lord."

As a secret but loose organization, except for the hidden officials who have accepted the orders of the sword bearer for generations, the rest of the killers are not loyal, but hired.

Therefore, the idea of ​​trading is normal in the dark net.

"The Saintess of the Four Saints?" Ji Pingan was taken aback. At this moment, his expression changed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it didn't disappear:

"Be clear."

"Yes." Song Xuezheng knew that the sword bearer paid close attention to the sect, so he was not surprised, and said:

"It's also a coincidence that the killer was accidentally caught by a protector of the Four Sacred Sect, who forcibly planted Gu worms and pulled him into the demon sect. Therefore, he had the opportunity to obtain information, but he was forced to join the sect , he was unwilling to let his life be controlled by others, and it happened that you had fought against the Four Saints many times before, so he wanted to ask you to help pull out the Gu worms in his body."

Ji Pingan was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.

That's right, the Four Sages are spreading rapidly in the Jianghu, and the darknet killers are also in the Jianghu, so it is not surprising that they were selected.

And the people who join the dark web are more or less rebellious in themselves, how can they be willing to be driven by others?

It is natural to find various ways to lift the shackles. This kind of thing was very common in the heyday of the Demon Cult.

Of course, Ji Ping'an was not completely unsuspecting. In the National Games, the two sides had already become enemies. If the Four Sages were not angry and tried to deliberately use "double agents" to deceive themselves, it was not impossible.

Moreover, pulling out Gu worms is by no means an easy matter... However, after obtaining the "Golden Gu worms", these are no longer a problem.

"Where is he?" Ji Pingan asked with a flash of thought.

Song Xuezheng said: "It's in Yuhang City. If you want to see me, you can do it anytime."

"Then let's go now, and you tell me the general direction." Ji Pingan wanted to show that he was not vain, and raised his hand to press the old literati's shoulder.

Then, in the horrified eyes of this ordinary scholar, a khaki-yellow light enveloped his whole body, the floor under his feet was cracked, and the soil was flying.

Ji Pingan rolled Song Xuezheng, and disappeared into the study with the help of the earth escape. In the blink of an eye, the bricks and stones were restored, and the site returned to its original state. Only the lamps and candles were burning quietly in the room.

……

The place where the darknet killer is unexpectedly not far from Song's house, when Ji Pingan grabbed Song Xuezheng, drilled out of the ground, looked at the alley ahead, and asked:

"It's in there?"

The frail old pedant was frightened, but he forced himself to calm down: "Yes."

Ji Pingan grabbed two sets of bamboo hats with his backhand, and the two of them changed into them before knocking on the door of a certain house.

The person who opened the door turned out to be a rather gentle-looking young scholar with a book under his arm, with a dazed expression on his face:
"Who are you two looking for?"

It wasn't until Song Xuezheng took out the hidden official's waist card and checked his identity that the scholar tore off his disguise, regained his shrewd and unruly demeanor, and invited the two into the main room of the house.

Only then did he look at Ji Pingan, who was covered by the whole body, with curious eyes: "Are you the one holding the sword?"

Song Xuezheng snarled: "Don't be rude."

Ji Pingan raised his hand to stop the old scholar, smiled on the face under the bamboo hat, and nodded slightly:

"I am, I heard that you are going to make a deal with me? But before that, put away the books in your hand first. If I have bad thoughts about you, your few book chapters will not be of much use .”

The young scholar was originally full of curiosity. As a killer who walked the dark side of the rivers and lakes, he was rebellious since he was a child, and he joined the dark web for money.

At the same time, it was also because, compared to other Jianghu organizations, the Darknet did not pay attention to loyalty and inferiority, which was more to his taste.

He also lacks much respect for the hidden officials scattered everywhere, and is more curious than awed by the legendary "sword bearer".

Even when he came to Yuhang to look for the method of pulling out the Gu worms, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he really lacked connections, so he only wanted to give it a try after learning that the "Sword Holder" was born.

The heart naturally lacks the humbleness of asking for help.

But at this moment, when Ji Ping'an's words were thrown lightly, casually pointing out his true inheritance, the scholar's expression changed suddenly.

The book in his hand clenched even tighter.

Ji Pingan just looked at it with a smile, and saw that the scholar stuffed the scroll into his back after a short hesitation, clasped his fists together, and changed his tone of respect:

"Xiao Ke is rude, I hope adults will forgive me."

Ji Pingan didn't care much, and asked, "Tell me about the situation."

Scholars don't write in ink, and they are about to narrate it, which is generally consistent with what Song Xuezheng said. According to him, the expansion method of the Four Sages is simple and rude, and it is nothing more than "coercion and temptation".

The Dharma protector who hides the gold Gu worms will find some strong men in the Jianghu who can be recruited, suppress them with cultivation and lure them with benefits, forcing them to plant silver Gu worms.

Become the hall master.

Hall masters, on the other hand, can develop offline, look for practitioners who are weaker than themselves, plant "bronze Gu worms" and become superior disciples.

And the latter, in turn, can find weaker warriors, control them with "black iron Gu worms", and develop them into lower-level cultivators...

The hierarchy is clear, the organizational structure is clear and huge, and the most powerful thing is that a person is extremely unwilling to be controlled by others.

But after mastering the same method of using Gu worms to control the development of offline, it is easy to change the mentality and become more loyal to the Demon Cult.

He will do his best to try to climb up and advance to a higher level, so that he can control more lower-level congregants.

In the past, when the national teacher and the emperor came into contact with the mechanism of the Four Sages, they expressed emotion:
Compared to all the sects in the Jianghu, it is no wonder that they can secure the throne of the most powerful force in the martial arts. The mechanism of "promotion within the system" and the way of expansion alone are many times higher than the other sects...

And this dark web killer was planted with bronze Gu worms.

"So, you want me to help you remove the Gu worms in your body? Are you willing to exchange information?" Ji Pingan asked.

The scholar nodded, with a trace of expectation in his eyes:
"Would you assist me?"

Ji Pingan smiled:

"It depends on the value of the information you provide. You should also know that pulling out Gu worms is not an easy task."

When the scholars heard the words, they suddenly became excited and heard the implication:

Since the sword bearer said that, it undoubtedly showed that he possessed this ability.

As for whether the other party was deceiving him, he didn't want to think too much, and immediately said:
"Okay, then I'll say it now."

Ji Pingan raised his hand to interrupt him, but grabbed a weird four-sided square bronze bell from his sleeve, flicked it with his fingers, and the bell was suspended in the air, emitting a clear light.

"This thing is called 'Listening to the Heart Bell', and it will react if there is something false in your words." Ji Pingan explained with a smile.

This is one of the magic tools he took out from the Qianyuan treasure house, and it does have the ability to identify lies, similar to the white tiger hall plaque of Jiang's family in Wulinmeng.

In addition, he had secretly activated the "sleeping" gold Gu worm in his arm, and the moment he stepped into the house, he had already sensed the bronze Gu worm in the scholar's body.

With personality suppression, he can also more clearly grasp the emotional changes of the other party at all times, making lies invisible.

The scholar trembled in his heart, but he was not afraid, and said:
"Not long ago, I received news that the Four Saints in Lanzhou will hold a gathering soon, presided over by a strong man at the protection level. At that time, the Lanzhou believers will gather and sacrifice to the Holy Lord is one of them. Because during this period of time, many strong people in the sect were killed and injured, and the selection of new hall masters and even the guardians are the second..."

assembly?Ji Ping'an raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.

As an old opponent who has dealt with the Four Saints for many years, he is very clear that this sect does have the habit of meeting irregularly.

After all, it is a sect, and sacrifice is not only a rule, a means to enhance the cohesion of the organization, but also a way to bestow spiritual resources.

As for the selection of new high-ranking officials... This has something to do with him. In just a few months, there are quite a few high-ranking members of the Four Sacred Sect who died in the hands of Ji Pingan in Lanzhou...

Great Protector, Shadow Protector, Hall Master Zhu... As for the deacon level, I can't remember clearly.

The downsizing is so severe that the selection of new top management is indeed imminent.

The scholar continued: "There is another purpose, which is said to be to choose a husband for the saint."

"The saint chooses her husband?" Ji Pingan suddenly pulled back his thoughts, frowned and said:

"say clearly."

Reader said:
"I'm not too clear about it. I only know that these four holy religions are very similar to the one that was destroyed by the Great Zhou Guoshi in the past. There is also a "saint" in the religion, or it is more appropriate to call it a "witch". The same one in history, called 'Xue Ji', it is said that she likes to wear long black dresses, has extremely fair complexion, and extremely beautiful appearance...... I don't know why, I just say that it was the Lanzhou rally, the church The master who wins the top spot can become the husband-in-law of the saint and get extra benefits..."

Ji Pingan was in a daze.

Xue Ji... Xue Ji...the old people from the past could not help but appear in her mind.

Is it her?After her rebirth, was she still the first to be found by the Four Saints?
Become the "Saint" of the Demon Cult again?
Or someone with the same name?
Fate reincarnation.Ji Pingan was a little lost.

"My lord? My lord?" The scholar couldn't help calling out after finishing the information he had.

Ji Pingan withdrew his thoughts, nodded solemnly, and said:
"Do you know the specific date and location of the rally?"

The scholar nodded, took out a note from his pocket and handed it over. Ji Pingan opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

The young killer asked nervously, "Is this information worth enough?"

Ji Pingan accepted the note, glanced at him, and suddenly asked:

"Do you know what will be the result of leaking this information, once the Demon Cult finds out? Or, you don't want to be promoted in the Demon Cult? Don't say that you don't bother to join. Jianghu killers are not good people."

The scholar smiled:

"The big word is death. People in the Jianghu will die sooner or later. As for promotion? I also think that although the devil's sect's way of doing things is against the righteous way, it's cool to think about it, but I'm a lazy person. , I don’t want to be controlled by others, otherwise, with my ability, why do so many forces in the world join your dark net? Isn’t it just that they don’t care about me?”

Song Xuezheng next to him was in a cold sweat the whole time, fearing that the sword-wielder would be furious and vent his anger on him. At this moment, he even raised his head and glanced at the bell suspended in mid-air.

The Mengmeng Qinghui spread, and the bell remained motionless.

The truth.

Ji Pingan smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"You are very good. I thought that the calligraphers were almost extinct, but I didn't expect that there were still some living in the rivers and lakes. No wonder they were targeted by the demon sect. Your temper is a bit like your ancestor who founded the calligrapher."

The scholar was stunned for a moment, his eyes were strange, and he thought that with your tone, it seems that you can still see my patriarch...

Just as he was muttering, he suddenly felt his body lighten, a slight pain all over his body, and then an invisible shackle was broken.

He couldn't help but let out a low cry, and when he looked again, his eyes widened.

In the middle of the palms of the sword-wielding man who seemed to be younger than him, a blood-stained bronze Gu worm was humbly shrinking and motionless, as if seeing a king.

And on his shoulder, a blood hole was slowly healing.

It's just the effort of patting the shoulder, and the rumored that it was extremely difficult to remove the demon sect Gu worm, who had a narrow escape from death, was caught by the sword-wielding man...

"You...you..." The scholar was incoherent.

Ji Pingan smiled, and put the blood-stained Gu worm into his sleeve - he who controls the golden Gu worm is already equivalent to the "Guardian" of the Four Saints in terms of personality.

Although it is not a "direct lineage", it is not very difficult to catch the bronze Gu worm across two major levels.

Song Xuezheng couldn't understand it, but he was greatly shocked, and couldn't help but rely on others:
"Have you not thanked the Lord for your kindness?"

The scholar was very excited and bowed to salute, but when he raised his head again, he was shocked to find that the two people in front of him had disappeared, and even the bronze bell above his head had disappeared without a trace.

……

Yuhang city at night.

Ji Pingan grabbed Song Xuezheng and ran away, reappeared on the street, and said:
"This information is very important. In the next few days, tell that scholar not to leave Yuhang in a hurry. I may have other orders."

Song Xuezheng nodded hurriedly: "I obey the orders."

Then he couldn't help asking:

"My lord, what did you say he was a 'calligrapher?' But that great Confucian scholar in history..."

Ji Pingan nodded, sighed in his heart, and thought of an old friend again:
"I still have some things, you go back by yourself."

After finishing speaking, his figure suddenly disintegrated into starlight, and fled towards Yijingzhai. The Four Sages... Xue Ji... Whether it is the former or the latter name, it is very important.

He was going to sort out his thoughts, or discuss it with the Emperor.

"……it is good."

Song Xuezheng sent the sword-wielder away in a daze, leaving only himself hugging his shoulders, feeling the cold autumn night wind, raising his head, looking at the moon in the sky, and sneezed hard.

……

"Ah!"

Somewhere in Lanzhou, Xue Ji was wearing a black dress, sitting in front of the open window looking at the moon, when she suddenly heard footsteps.

……

The following plot is probably clear. The most amazing thing is that what I want to write most now is actually the next plot...but it will be dozens of chapters later
