The old Taoist gave me a sideways look.
He taught me a lesson: "I don't know what you are fooling around with these days? I know everything, but as Huang Yongen's direct disciple and the destined leader of Jingmen, you don't even know these things?"
As he said that, the old man glared at me again.
"I don't know why Qi Dingzhou didn't die and how he escaped the life-and-death contract. According to rumors in the world, Qi Dingzhou found six other Jingmen leaders and talked for a day and night at Changxuan Palace in Maoshan, and finally left Jingmen behind. The leader left with his token and told the world that he, Qi Dingzhou, will not die! He will not die in the life-and-death contract!"
The old man spoke slowly.
He continued: "Qi Dingzhou is not dead, but he resigned from the position of leader of Jingmen, and what those Jingmen directors thought of was..."
"Let the younger generations compete to be the leader of the Shocking Gate!"
Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows.
"Since their names are written in the life and death contract, they cannot succeed the leader of Jingmen, so they will support a junior! In this way, the problem of the leader of Jingmen is perfectly solved."
The old man continued: "Anyone from Jingmen is eligible to participate in the leader selection. This idea was inspired by you."
"In addition, it is not just about selecting the leader. It is said that they also thought of a way to control the life and death contract. Whoever becomes the leader of Jingmen can control the life and death contract!"
I thought about it intently.
"Boy, do you really want Huang Yongen's leadership position to fall into the hands of others? Even if you really don't care about this position, you can't let others control the life and death contract, right?"
The old man asked me.
I pondered for a moment and said, "I understand."
Then, the old man suddenly took out something and gave it to me.
He said: "The human skin mask I commissioned Qianmen to make is ready. Take a look."
I took it and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the camouflage effect was perfect.
After I put on the human skin mask, I looked for a mirror. Even I couldn't see anything strange. It was like changing my identity.
"That's all, I'll leave first."
The old man said with a grin.
And at this moment, I suddenly realized something!
"You should have known that it was me who came to see you, not Huiyun who wanted to see you!"
I asked quietly.
He even put on my human skin mask. He knew beforehand that he wanted to see me... I don't believe that Huo Zifu would carry my human skin mask with him.
Huo Zifu sneered and said, "Who am I? No matter how bad it is, you can't coax me. If you stick your butt out, I know what kind of fart you are going to fart!"
After saying that, Huo Zifu left.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart. The old man's appearance of being deceived before was so realistic that I was deceived. I even doubted whether he had any identity in the drama sect.
Then, I thought about what the old Taoist said to me...
First, there's a problem.
If you want to participate in the selection of leaders of Jingmen, you need to have the identity of Jingmen.
As for how to get the legitimate identity of a disciple of Jingmen, after thinking about it for a while, I got a clue.
Early the next morning, I found one of the five Jingmen Feng Shui masters who were still alive during the sacrifices in the late Ming Dynasty.
"I have indeed heard about Changxuan Palace's selection of leaders. If you are not Chen Qi, it would be easy for you to join the Jingmen. Although I am not a director of the Jingmen, I have some qualifications. I recommend it, so it is not a problem. "
The Feng Shui master’s name was Nori-zheng, and he whispered back to me.
Diancheng is the oldest among the surviving Feng Shui masters, in his sixties. Wei Zhongxian is dead. The five of them have no one to turn to for the time being, so they can only join together, with him as the leader.
Then, Norizheng added: "But the key point is that your identity is too eye-catching. The directors will not let you enter the Jingmen, let alone participate in the leader selection."
I took out the human skin mask, put it on, and said, "From now on, my name is Chen Daoling."
Norizheng was startled.
"Chen, Chen Daoling? So you are Chen Daoling from Dongling? The master who brought down Qidingzhou and helped the clan?"
Then Norimasa recognized mine.
He took a breath and said, "With the help of this human skin mask, it will be no problem..."
The way Norizheng looked at me changed.
"You come with me to Changxuan Palace."
I said.
"Okay." He nodded.
"From now on, follow me." I stared at Nozheng and said.
Hearing this, Nozheng's pupils shrank and he was silent for a moment.
Then, he said: "I used to be Director Wei's man, and I even dealt with you before."
"He is dead, and all grievances have been cleared."
I said: "There are also four Feng Shui masters, and they should be the ones who follow your lead. If they are willing, they can follow me. From now on, we will be together. I can give you whatever Wei Chunming can give, but Wei Chunming cannot give. I can give it too."
The reason why I had this idea was actually because of their loyalty.
Under the altar, Ma Ji and a dozen other Feng Shui masters, under threat of their lives, ignored Wei Zhongxian and ran directly to the center of the altar.
Only these five Feng Shui masters saw that Wei Zhongxian did not move, so they were unmoved and obeyed Wei Zhongxian's instructions in everything.
True feelings can be seen in adversity, and true intentions can be seen in life and death.
This kind of loyalty is rare and valuable.
It was this loyalty to Wei Zhongxian that allowed them to survive and not die underground.
Of course, if Wei Zhongxian hadn't died, I wouldn't have dared to accept them, but it just so happened that Wei Zhongxian was still dead...
I asked again: "I am Huang Yongen's disciple, and my ability far exceeds that of everyone in Jingmen! Answer me, do you follow, or don't you follow!?"
