Hearing Black Widow's question, Tang Zhao muttered: "I'm afraid it's probably not true, right?"
Black Widow asked with interest: "How do you say it?"
Tang Zhaodao: "He said something serious about a secret alliance - the most important thing about a secret alliance is of course the secret. Where is this secret place?"
You must know that this is in front of the stone monument of Jingzhe Villa and is the only way to go up and down the mountain. Every boss who went up the mountain to participate in the Gu fight this time passed by here. If one of them took a look at it from a distance, wouldn't this "secret" become a joke?
It would be fine if Bei Gongqi didn't mention the secret alliance. If he did, it would only make him more hypocritical. He might as well just behead a chicken and drink blood wine in front of the stone monument. At least the sense of ceremony would be sufficient.
Black Widow nodded and said: "That's exactly what he said. He said that we formed an alliance to surprise. If you really want to surprise, you should come to me secretly days or even months in advance. It is best not to let anyone know, discuss the details of the alliance, and more The right thing is to exchange certificates of surrender. The one just now is more of a cover-up than an alliance. He uses me as a raft to hide his true allies. At the critical moment, he will let me out to become a miasma."
She suddenly smiled and said: "But, when the fake is true, the truth is also false. Regardless of whether it is true or false now, when it comes time to join forces, we will join forces. When the time comes, the covenant becomes real again, and the covenant can naturally be renewed. Up. Let's go and meet my enemies."
Several people passed by the stone monument and walked up the mountain together.
Tang Zhao's heart moved: He had not been with the black widow in the past two months. How could he know that no one had secretly approached her and made a secret covenant with her? Black Widow said Bei Gongqi was using her to cover up, wouldn't Black Widow also use Bei Gongqi to cover up?
Although there are only five participants, these leaders of the Five Poison Society are all people who have the dangers of mountains and rivers in their hearts and the depth of the city. The game of true and false, virtual and real is already more exciting than the drama on the stage.
"Jiujiu, what do you think of Black Widow?"
On the way up the mountain on the other side, Beigong Qiye suddenly asked.
Qin Jiujiu said: "There is nothing to say. A typical Five Poison Huiren has all their characteristics. Vicious, cunning, hypocritical, disgusting."
Bei Gongqi smiled and said: "What you said is really straightforward, but Black Widow is actually a little sincere, but not much, and not towards me. If we rank the character of the Five Poisons Association, except for me, she is pretty good That’s it.”
Qin Jiujiu said: "Worse than you?"
Bei Gongqi said: "Am I not good? You have to compare it with the standards of the Five Poison Society. Oh, what do you think of that surnamed Tang?"
Qin Jiujiu said: "It's very fake."
Bei Gongqi asked: "Where is the lie?"
Qin Jiujiu said: "Except for the eyes, nothing is real. That smile, that tone, and that face are all extremely artificial."
Bei Gongqi said: "The eyes are real, it's already very difficult. He doesn't have the aura of the Five Poisons Association at all. I just fanned him, and his evasive movements were very slow. There was obviously no subconscious movement of the Five Poisons Association." .This incidates that……"
Qin Jiujiu's eyes moved slightly, and Bei Gongqi said: "It means he is very strong. He is the real 'foreign' aid that the Black Widow found."
Qin Jiujiu snorted and said: "Dangerous person, so if there is a conflict, you want to kill him?"
Bei Gongqi smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if there was no conflict?"
Qin Jiujiu drooped his eyelids and said: "No one can imagine whether there will be a conflict. Once you decide, let's kill it."
All the way up the mountain road of Jingzhe Villa, the smell of thunder in the soil becomes stronger as you go higher. The soil gradually turned into a light purple, and when stepped on, it made a soft "creak, creak" sound, as if the soles of the feet were numbed by thunder and lightning, or as if one were stepping on mountains of insect carcasses.
Tang Zhao stepped on the purple soil and saw Jingzhe Villa from a distance.
Jingzhe Villa is actually built on a cliff.
Rows of manors occupy almost all the flat land on the top of the mountain. The mountain is so steep that it is almost vertical, as if it has been split by an axe. Tang Zhao and others were facing a cliff that was almost impossible to climb. There is no grass growing on the cliff, only large tracts of reddish-brown rocks, like stains of solidified blood.
At the bottom of the mountain, two people wearing disciple uniforms were waiting there. When they saw the black widow arriving, they nodded slightly without saluting and said, "Sister Yin, please forgive me. Only candidates and selected foreign aid can go up. The others are waiting below. .”
Black Widow nodded, smiled at Tang Zhao and said, "Let the children stay, let's go." Tang Zhao turned around and looked at Wei Se, then followed.
One of the disciples led the way and brought the two of them to a tall wooden house. Behind the wooden house stood a wooden wheel that looked like a waterwheel.
A closer look revealed that the wheel was actually a winch with thick iron chains hanging from it, connecting it to the top of the mountain like a ropeway. Two hanging baskets were hung on the ropeway, and each hanging basket could seat up to two or three people.
Black Widow smiled and said: "I really miss it. The lock plate has become old after so many years. Xiao Tang, this is the only way to Jingzhe Villa. To go up to the Villa, you can only go up from the hanging basket. You can't go up and down through this ropeway. Yes, you will be struck by lightning."
Tang Zhao nodded. He saw faint traces of formations on the rocks on the mountain, and special soil as the formation eyes, forming a "Thunder Strike Cliff". Looking at the strength of the formation, even if Sanren has Gang Qi to protect his body, he can withstand it for a while at most, but he may not be able to suffer the disaster after a long time. The hanging basket is a magic weapon, and there are talismans to protect the people in the basket from harm.
Once this winch is damaged, the hanging basket cannot go up, and the up and down traffic is immediately cut off. Jingzhe Villa became an isolated island.
He looked up at Jingzhe Villa on the top of the mountain, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: This is a perfect place for the Snowstorm Villa murder incident to occur.
That’s just what I think about it. Even if there is a murder here, it is not a Blizzard Villa, because it is a detective's game. No one here will play tricks, trickery, secret room plots, some are just straightforward killings.
Maybe battle royale is more relevant.
The proper name is "Gu Dou".
Sitting in a hanging basket that swayed and swayed, the two finally approached Jingzhe Villa.
The overall layout of Jingzhe Villa is like a pentagon, and the front looks like a palace with its carved beams and painted buildings. Although both are called villas, the scale is more than ten times larger than that of Black Spider Villa, and the architectural style is exquisite and gorgeous. Obviously, the owner of the villa will not deliberately build a themed villa to reduce his comfort level just because he called it "Jingzhe".
Black Widow sat in the hanging basket, touched Tang Zhao lightly, and pointed at Jingzhe Villa.
Tang Zhao was startled, and then saw what the black widow meant: Have you seen that villa? Not handsome?
It will be my home in the future.
Tang Zhao nodded: It is always good to have confidence.
However, have you given up on your dream of Sword in the Cloud?
After reaching the top of the mountain, the two officially entered Jingzhe Villa.
There were also a few disciples greeting them in front of the villa, but they were not young disciples, but four middle-aged men in brown robes. They seemed to have quite a lot of status. When they met the black widow, they also called each other brothers and sisters.
One of the tall men took out a roll of information and looked at Tang Zhao's face at the pictures. He was obviously trying to match the portrait of Tang Zhao with the information. However, because the portrait was too sloppy, his efforts ended in vain. .
Tang Zhao read from the information that although Jingzhe Villa is only a nominal headquarters with an extremely streamlined structure and does not care about worldly affairs, it also has direct subordinates. Among them, the highest status are the four guardians.
These four protectors are directly affiliated with Jingzhe Villa and have nothing to do with the Five Poison Society. They are only responsible to the owner of the Villa.
Just looking at the aura of the magicians, Tang Zhao could tell that their strength was even greater than that of the Black Widows, at least they were all Sanren who had practiced Gang Qi. If it were not restricted by the rules, each of them would be qualified to compete for the position of the owner of the village.
However...are the rules so effective?
In particular, Tang Zhao knew that according to the rules, the village owner had the power to appoint and remove these guardians. That is to say, if the new village owner was dissatisfied with them, he could tell them to leave at any time and replace them with his own henchmen. Now that the old village owner was dying, their status was also precarious. , in this case, what is the position of the guardians?
Black Widow exchanged a few pleasantries and said, "Has the Young Villa Master arrived already?"
Among them, the guardian who looked older, had the highest status, and was the fattest said: "Junior sister Yin, let's not talk about the rest for now. Come into the village to meet the old owner."
This was beyond Black Widow's expectation, and she said: "What? Can the old village owner still see us?"
The fat old protector said: "That's not it. The old village master is still there, so we have to meet him. Go in first. When everyone is here, the old village master will come out to meet you. Everyone will rest in the other courtyard for the night. Any competition will start from tomorrow. Today we will only talk about friendship, not disputes."
Black Widow's eyes turned slightly, and she said: "Hey, does our Five Poisons Association still have such a harmonious scene? I never heard of it in the past."
The fat old protector said: "Junior sister Yin, the Five Poisons Club is the Five Poison Club, and Jingzhe Villa is Jingzhe Villa. There are rules here. You can't ask me to teach you, right?"
He spoke very politely, and the black widow covered her sleeves and smiled: "I understand, Protector Mi."
When a few people entered the gate of the villa, they saw a purple screen wall with a pattern on it that looked like thunder and lightning falling from the sky, and several poisonous insects were painted on the bottom, shivering under the thunder and lightning.
Tang Zhao was thoughtful, looking at the layout of Jingzhe Villa, he really didn't take the Five Poisons seriously. Thunder and lightning are superior to the Five Poisons, and insects can only bow their heads.
It is also understandable that as a force that has passed down the Jingzhe Sword from generation to generation, it would not take the underworld seriously.
Behind the screen wall were several forked roads. Protector Mi led them along the long corridor to the east without entering the main hall.
The further we walked in, the farther away we were from the main body of the villa, and as we approached one side of the pentagon, we gradually smelled the faint aroma of the villa.
Tang Zhao remembered the key to prevention, immediately closed his breathing and activated his internal energy.
Then the black widow suddenly said: "What kind of incense is burning in this villa? Why do I smell some wormwood and realgar?"
Wormwood and realgar are insect repellents. In the Five Poison Society, these are forbidden medicinal materials. Although Black Widow was smiling when she mentioned this, there was no smile in her eyes.
The fat old protector didn't care at all and said: "The owner of the village is ill, so why should he smoke moxa to recuperate? What's more, Jingzhe Villa does not allow the release of insects, so it won't be a big hindrance, right?"
Black Widow chuckled. Tang Zhao was thoughtful - Black Widow had done a lot of work before, mostly studying her opponents and formulating countermeasures, but I wonder what kind of research she had on Jingzhe Villa itself?
At this time, several people arrived outside a courtyard and saw a heavy door, like a city gate. Now it was half opened, revealing the spacious house inside. Further inside is a small garden dotted with several pavilions.
The guardians pushed open the door of the tallest building in the middle and heard someone say: "Black Widow, you are late!"
