A man wearing a Yaksha mask walked into the cave, put one hand on his chest and bowed: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Bai from the dark pavilion has sent an invitation." The man wearing a blood-red mask on the stone chair said: "Send it up. .”
The man's cold eyes glanced at the content written on the red invitation, and said calmly: "Okay, you go tell the people in the dark pavilion that I will definitely keep the appointment." After his subordinates left, Mr. Jin pondered. He said: "What is the purpose of this old woman inviting me now?"
A few days later, in an elegant small building. The old woman Bai Kexin was leaning on a carved low couch, covering her legs with a fox fur. Mr. Jin sat down at the bottom and said with a smile: "I don't know what the old lady wants to teach me by inviting this junior to come here?" Bai Kexin said: "I don't want to accept the advice. The old woman wants to chat with the young man about home affairs."
Mr. Jin's eyebrows moved and he said, "Oh, what do you want to talk about, Madam?" Bai Kexin said, "I don't know if Mr. Master's parents are still alive?" A look of sadness flashed in Mr. Jin's eyes, and then he said calmly: "Jia Yan and Jiasi are no longer alive. After hearing this, Bai Kexin said regretfully, "I really don't know, I'm sorry." Mr. Jin said, "It doesn't matter."
This Young Master Jin was brought into the Ghost Sect by the old sect master seven years ago and was accepted as a disciple. Naturally, no one else knew about his life experience. In the opinion of many people in the Ghost Sect, this Young Master Jin might be Nie Qianchou's illegitimate son, otherwise he would never be able to be the master of the painting hall due to his qualifications.
Bai Kexin asked again: "Does the young master have a wife?" Mr. Jin raised an emerald wine glass and took a sip, and said: "The old lady is here to question me?" Bai Kexin said: "If Young Master doesn't want to talk, and I won't force myself." Young Master Jin raised his head and looked at Bai Kexin and said calmly: "Madam, there are no outsiders here, so if you have something to do, you'd better tell me straight to the point."
Bai Kexin sighed and said: "Oh. I am about to die at this age. I only have a granddaughter, Xuan'er. Now I have a thorough understanding of the situation in the Ghost Prime Minister's Sect. I want to entrust my granddaughter to the Young Master." Mr. Jin The corners of her eyes moved slightly, and she thought to herself, "This old woman must have smelled something."
Bai Kexin continued: "Young master is in his youth, and my granddaughter's appearance is also good enough. If the master agrees, I will ask him to witness the marriage in front of the old master on Dragon Boat Festival this year." The wine glass in Master Jin's hand swayed slightly. , the wine spilled on the table, he raised his head and said: "The old lady fell in love by mistake, and the younger generation is flattered. Protector Bai is a hero among women, and his vision is very high. I'm afraid she may not look down on me. "
Bai Ke thought to himself: "Marriage is a major matter, the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words. Xuan'er's parents are not here, so my grandmother will take charge of it for her. But will the young master agree?" Mr. Jin thought to himself: "This old woman is really shrewd. It turns out that She wanted to win over me in the name of marriage.
It seems that she has noticed the sect master's thoughts. If I agree to her, the sect master will definitely not trust me. By then, if this old woman joins forces with Hades Tower, my situation will be very bad. Bai Kexin saw that he had some scruples and said hurriedly: "It seems that Mr. Jin doesn't like this marriage anymore?" "
Mr. Jin said: "No, it's just that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term." Bai Kexin smiled and said: "The old woman is not afraid to make it clearer for what she said. Master, do you know why the master of the sect values you more?" Mr. Jin said with a smile. Said: "The master of the sect is my mentor. He cultivated me in the hope that I can carry forward the sect."
Bai Kexin said lightly: "Young Master has seen the first level. I think you are also aware of the situation of our Ghost Prime Minister's Sect. The underworld tower, the painting hall, and the dark pavilion are three pillars. Although the power of my dark pavilion is not as good as before, it is better than your painting." How is the hall?" Mr. Jin said: "The strength of the Ange is far superior to that of the Huatang."
Bai Kexin said: "Yes, the new painting hall was established intentionally by the sect owner. Its purpose is to balance the power of the Underworld Tower and the Dark Pavilion. No matter which one of us becomes bigger, the sect owner does not want to see it. The Ghost Sect can only have one master, and that is the old master.
With Huatang, we will naturally restrain ourselves. Has the young master ever thought about what the old master meant by doing this besides letting us restrain each other? Mr. Jin said: "How can I guess what the master of the sect is thinking?" "Bai Kexin said: "Then I will tell the young master. The old sect leader did this because he wanted to truly unify the sect.
At the beginning, I asked Ange to draw lots to complete the plan of revenge on the Central Plains Wulin. On the surface, it was to stir up the Central Plains Wulin and increase the prestige of my sect. In fact, the main purpose was to cut off my Ange's wings. If I guess correctly, the sect master will probably ask Young Master and Mr. Ye to join forces to deal with my Ange. "
Mr. Jin drank a glass of wine and did not answer her question. Bai Kexin said: "Then Master, have you ever thought about who will be next after destroying my dark pavilion? Mr. Ye's Underworld Pavilion or your painting hall?" Mr. Jin stood up and said: "I'm sorry for what the old lady said. I don’t understand, but I pretend I haven’t heard what the old lady said today.” He turned around to leave.
Bai Kexin said: "Young Master, there is no need to hide it. The old woman will reveal the master's thoughts today. As for whether the Young Master agrees to this marriage, it is all up to you." Young Master Jin stood there, with his back to Bai Kexin, and said to himself: "I do. Do you want to hear what you, old woman, have to say?"
Bai Kexin thought that he had already thought about it, and said slowly: "Young master probably thinks that after the old sect leader expires, he will pass the position to you. But if you want to take this position, will Mr. Ye be willing to give it to you?" In terms of qualifications, Mr. Ye has a very high prestige in his sect, and there are many experts under the Ming Tower.
Even if the sect leader likes Young Master, his proud disciple, there is no guarantee that Mr. Ye will not take action against Young Master. What I want to tell the young master is that the old sect leader will definitely give up his position to Mr. Ye, but let the young master try to get rid of him. In the end, the old sect leader will personally take action to get rid of you, this precious disciple.
In this way, the three-part situation of the Gui Xiang Sect will return to unity, and the old sect leader can naturally pass this position to his grandson. From now on, the Gui Xiang Sect will only be named Nie, and all of us are just the old sect. The chess piece in the master's hand. "
Mr. Jin frowned slightly and turned around and said, "I will not mention what the old lady said today to anyone. As for the marriage that the madam mentioned, let me think about it for three days, and I will give you an answer after three days." Bai Ke Xin smiled and said: "Okay, since there is such a thing as the young master, I won't keep the young master anymore."
After Mr. Jin left, Bai Kexin pondered: "What on earth is this kid thinking about?" Not long after, a maid came into the room and said in a panic: "The old lady is not good." Bai Kexin frowned and said: "What's all the fuss about?" the maid asked, "Miss, she dismissed the people below and said she was going to duel with a man named Xiao Yunfan."
Bai Kexin lifted up the fox fur blanket, sat up and said, "Then why didn't the people under her stop her?" The maid asked, "The people under her had their acupuncture points tapped by the young lady, so they didn't rush to report back until now." But his heart sank, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The maid was startled and rushed over to help her.
Bai Kexin felt dizzy, her hands and feet were cold, and she gasped: "Send someone to find the lady immediately. If you can't find her, you don't have to come back." Looking at the maid's retreating figure, she couldn't help but shake her head. Said: "Girl Xuan, are you going to make grandma angry to death?"
After Mr. Jin returned to his mansion, he rested his forehead on his hands and thought about Bai Kexin's words. He thought in his heart: "If it is true as Bai Kexin said, I am also Nie Qianchou's pawn. No wonder he was kind enough to save me. It turns out that he wanted me to eradicate the Underworld Tower and the Dark Pavilion for him." When he thought about it, he still had to do it in the end. Being plotted by his master, Mr. Jin became furious.
"Well, Nie Qianchou, I thought you sincerely took pity on me, but I didn't expect that I am just a tool to clear the roadblocks for your descendants." As he thought about it, he couldn't help but shed tears. Back then, when he was about to be tortured to death, Nie Qianchou saved her from someone. I thought I was going to die in this life, but he ignited my fighting spirit and gave me hope.
He stretched out a finger to wipe a tear and put it into his mouth. Maybe it was one of the few tears in his life. The moment his father and mother died, the moment his brother died, the moment his wife and children died, he thought he had poured out all the tears in his life, but at this moment he realized that no one in this world would ever treat him well. .
Mr. Jin tasted the bitterness of his own tears and said to himself: "Okay, Master. Since you have such thoughts, you can't blame me for being my disciple." He then thought again: "Could this be the old woman's plan? ? It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
For me, only by taking the position of the leader of the Ghost Sect can I avenge my parents and relatives. I can't take a wrong step. If I take a wrong step, all my efforts over the years will be wasted.
If I join forces with An Pavilion, I will first eradicate the forces of Underworld Pavilion.
This old woman is now terminally ill and will die sooner or later. It would be difficult for Bai Ruoxuan, a little girl, to control the overall situation of the Dark Pavilion. I pretended to agree to the marriage first and after eradicating the Underworld Pavilion. At that time, Nie Qianchou was nothing more than a show-off. Hum, anyone who hinders me, I will get rid of you one by one.
Until then, when I control the Ghost Sect, I can avenge those who died unjustly. There is only hatred left in my heart now, and only hatred makes me feel that I am still alive. "As he spoke, an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he picked up a blood-red mask and put it on his face.
A subordinate stood outside the door and said: "Your Majesty, the men in the Ange often strive to see you." Mr. Jin thought: "What is he doing here? Could it be that the old woman wants to put this person next to me as an spy? Humph, Anyway, I’ll talk to him later.”
Chang Li's yellow eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was solemn. Seeing Mr. Jin walking out from behind a screen, he hurriedly leaned over and said, "Chang Li comes to see you, Mr. Jin." Mr. Jin said, "What a rare visitor. Gao Qiao didn't even show Brother Chang tea." Chang Li raised his hands and said, " Chang Li came here to see the young master and asked me for something important?"
Mr. Jin said: "Oh? Brother Chang is from An Pavilion. If you want to ask for something, it is natural to ask Protector Bai. How come you come to me?" Chang Li said: "Dr. Bai has expelled us from An Pavilion. , Chang has no place to live and wants to ask the young master to take him in." Mr. Jin was shocked and thought to himself: "How could Bai Ruoxuan disband the dark pavilion so well? Could it be that she also knows what the old sect leader is thinking."
Mr. Jin paused and said slowly: "This... I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Brother Chang is Bai's protector. Although everyone is loyal to the sect leader, they are different after all. Furthermore, if I take you in , I’m afraid Mrs. Bai won’t agree, right?”
Chang Li picked up the tea bowl and blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and said slowly: "Master, let's open the skylight and speak openly. The so-called tree falls and the hozens scatter. The destruction of the dark pavilion will happen sooner or later. Chang just wants to find a way out for himself. , Of course Chang’s visit this time was not in vain.” As he spoke, he took out a leather map from his sleeve and handed it to Takahashi.
Takahashi presented the things to Mr. Jin. Young Master Jin looked at it and said, "Brother Chang, what is this?" Chang Li smiled and said, "This is a treasure map. Young Master probably doesn't know that one of the escorts taken in by Xuanbing Villa is named Hu Longhai, who was the former Yuanyang Escort Bureau. Jiang Heng, the deputy bodyguard.
Because he lost his escort, he could no longer establish himself in the escort business. The missing escort was not an accident, but a major case committed by Jiang Heng in collusion with his associates. He thought he had done this without anyone noticing, but he was targeted by a head catcher. The arrester severely injured him, and later he changed his appearance and lived in the Guan family of Xuanbing Villa.
He wanted to wait for the head catcher to die before taking out the treasure and living a happy life, but it happened to be in my hands.
He has this treasure map tattooed on his arm, which looks like an ordinary tattoo to ordinary people. The catcher happened to be my friend, and he told me about this before he died. I then paid close attention to his investigation and discovered his secret. Chang now dedicates this treasure map to the young master, hoping that the young master can enjoy the meal. "
After hearing this, Mr. Jin laughed and said: "Since this is a treasure map, brother Chang can go dig the treasure himself and then become a rich man incognito. Why do you need me to give you food?" Chang Li said: "Gui Xiangmen's people They are all infected with blood poison. If there is no antidote, then there is only one idea. The young master is now a popular person in front of the sect master, and his future is unlimited. If Chang serves the young master, he will naturally achieve something."
Mr. Jin said to Gao Qiao: "Did you hear what Brother Chang said?" Gao Qiao said: "I heard it." Mr. Jin said: "Okay, it's rare for Brother Chang to be so cheerful. I will try to protect you." Chang Li stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."
