Xue Liqing, who is no longer afraid of the sun, still refuses to leave the room and come out to talk to us. He invited me inside to chat so that no one would see him.
The way he is now makes him extremely inferior.
Since he wanted to chat privately, I asked Wen Mian to take Yunzhou and the two girls out to play and buy lunch on the way.
As soon as the people in the yard left, Xue Liqing started to kneel down. I quickly stopped and said that I had conditions to save and help people, and there was no need to give this big gift of thanks.
Xue Liqing still insisted on bowing, so he bowed three times to me.
He bowed three times with an upright and serious look on his face, and I felt like I could go home.
"Master Shao Gu is too kind. I think what should be said is that Tao Ren and Hong Hua have already told you. What do you want to talk about when you come to me alone?" There is no need to go behind anyone's back to express gratitude.
"Yes, Tao Ren and Hong Hua have told me that I also agree to join the Demon Cult, but there is another matter. I... I also want to ask Master An for help."
"Besides Yaoxianlu, is there anything else you need help with?"
"There is another person, a girl, who was taken away by the evil man in order to save me. Can Master An help me rescue her?"
"It's just to save people, why are you so sneaky?"
"She has a noble status. She left home privately this time. If her family and others know that she has been imprisoned by evil people, I'm afraid..."
"Okay, I understand."
Xue Liqing bowed deeply to me again, and I was too lazy to stop him. I threw him a pill and watched him take it.
"This is the medicine to treat your "problem". If you take it now, you will recover tomorrow morning. "
"Thank you very much, Master An. If there is any use for me, Xue Liqing, in the future, just give me your orders. Xue will definitely serve you with all his heart."
This guy even rhymed, but judging from the changes in his life circle, he shouldn't be a sociable person.
It's very possible that the first time I said such a word of thanks, my words were already incoherent, and I had to push the words upward.
Maybe some people like to hear good things, but I always only like to hear the truth.
Xue Liqing described the girl's appearance and figure to me in detail. He originally wanted to rescue people with me, but I thought he was a burden and his martial arts were too average. I might have to protect him as well.
I asked him to recuperate here, and lied to him that his body would not recover immediately. The superficial problems could not be seen, but the internal deficiencies would take some time to recover.
So he told me the girl's appearance in detail so that I wouldn't admit my mistake when I rescued people.
Yunzhou and the others came back at noon, and we had lunch together. In the afternoon, we went out. Taoren and Honghua also wanted to follow, but I persuaded them to take good care of Xue Liqing.
They have found out where their enemies are, but they just don't have the strength to collect debts.
Xue Liqing went there once. Not only was he poisoned, but he also hooked up with the girl he liked.
After coming out of the town, the three of us bought some snacks, hired a carriage, and ate while enjoying the scenery along the way.
The driver was young and talkative. He introduced himself first and said that he came here to make a living after the Yuancheng catastrophe.
He is very familiar with the road to Yuancheng. He runs it every day. He is also familiar with the scenic spots, towns and sects in the surrounding places.
The place we told him was a hundred miles south of Yuancheng, quite far away from the town we came out of. The driver thought we were here for a trip and thought it was a big job.
They are naturally enthusiastic about us and the money they provide is adequate.
"There are so many places to visit in the south. You can eat, drink and play. The most unique attraction is the Fossil Tower. It is said that it -" The coachman introduced the attractions in the south of Yuancheng. Wen Mian interrupted him.
"Boss Che, we are not going to the scenic spot. Please send us to Yin Gu Tower."
Wen Mian spoke very politely, but the coachman was so frightened that his hands shook and he threw the whip out of the car.
"Where are you, you, you guys going?" The coachman couldn't handle the whip and spoke with a vibrato.
Using Qinggong, Wen Mian jumped off the carriage, picked up the whip, and handed it back to the driver.
"Go to the Yin Gu Tower." Wen Mian still didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said, and even smiled a little, not caring about the driver's life or death.
"Ah! Then, what, I, my little one, never dare to go. Let alone me, no one even dares to go, even the heroes of the world. If you guys are here to play, I advise you. Let’s just say, you can visit and enjoy the scenery anywhere, except the Yin Gu Tower.”
"Boss, you misunderstood. We didn't go there to enjoy the scenery, but to seek revenge, haha." Wen Mian put on his gentlest smile, but what he said almost made the coachman's jaw drop.
"Seeking, seeking revenge?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Wen Mian was still wondering, frowning in confusion.
"Isn't it obvious?" The driver looked at the three of us. In fact, he had already looked at us when we hired a car. Now he must know that he made a mistake today.
Wen Mian first pointed to Yunzhou and introduced: "Martial arts master."
He pointed to himself again: "Martial arts master."
Finally, he pointed at me: "Martial Arts Supreme."
The coachman's expression was one of "dementia". Perhaps he had never seen anyone as shameless as Wen Mian.
The coachman shook his head with a grimace: "Sir, don't be joking. Among the three of you, except you, you are the master. These...these two have no internal strength."
This coachman has some eyesight. It seems that the coachmen who work in Jianghu City also have Jianghu skills.
The coachman said that he thought Yunzhou and I were the eldest young ladies of some family who came out to play games, and Wen Mian was our escort.
Wen Mian explained to him that we are his master and master, and we really want to seek revenge when we go to the Yin Gu Tower this time.
The driver was just surprised by our identity, but he was not new to "seeking revenge". He still advised us to give up the idea because there were too many people going to the Yingu Tower to seek revenge, and no one came back alive.
Seniors in their profession also said that even the coachman who sent those revenge-seeking knights away could not come back.
All the people, carriages and horses disappeared without a trace.
Yin Gu Tower is not a famous sect in Jianghu. It should be regarded as Jianghu's... ashes storage place.
If there is no one to bury and pay homage to a person in the Jianghu after death, the bones will be sent to the Yin Gu Tower, where they will be burned by the stewards, then put into clay pots and placed on the soul collection rack.
The Yin Gu Tower was funded and built by a senior martial artist. The original intention was to do good deeds and give a place for lonely souls from the martial arts to have a place to stay.
That senior has been dead for many years. It is said that the Yin Gu Tower, which has no source of funds, should have closed down long ago.
But I don’t know since when, some people think that people who are burdened with sins can atone for their sins by doing volunteer work there.
Therefore, there was no shortage of people to take over the position of manager of Yin Gu Tower.
Such a place was seized by a group of unknown people after the Yuancheng catastrophe.
They announced to the outside world that a new sect would be established in the world, and its name would be Yingulou.
It's just that what they do is exactly the opposite of Yin Gu Tower's charity work.
As soon as it was established, it attracted a group of enemies.
