Gongsun Fu said with some confusion: "Are you talking about going to live somewhere away from the Hundred Thousand Mountains? We Mingjiao people will definitely be suppressed by the decent sect, the Central Plains evil sect and the imperial court at the same time. How are we going to live?"
Mingjiao Shiwandashan has everything you need and is self-sufficient, so why go out and suffer.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains are hidden outside the Central Plains. Even the protection of Mingjiao is a kind of restraint.
People outside the mountain can't come in, and people inside the mountain can't get out.
Almost most of the Mingjiao believers have lived here all their lives and have never left Shiwan Mountain.
"As long as the people of the Demon Sect correct their evil ways and stop harming others, the Demon Sect will not be suppressed," Bai Xiuping explained.
But Gongsun Fu said with a helpless expression: "The imperial court regards our Ming Cult as a demonic sect, and treats us as enemies indiscriminately. We can only resist if we want to survive."
Based on my recent observations, there are some discrepancies between the descriptions of the Demonic Cult and the Central Plains imperial court and decent sects. It seems that not all of them are evil-doers.
It seems that the suppression of the Demon Cult is not just due to the behavior of the Demon Cult members. Bai Xiuping was silent for a moment and said: "This is not an excuse for the Demon Cult's arrogant behavior."
Gongsun Fu stared blankly at Bai Xiuping, pointed at him speechlessly and said, "Young Master, you are not qualified to say such things. Your reputation as a little pervert has spread throughout every corner of the Ming Cult."
Bai Xiuping was also stunned. It took him a long time to realize that he was now the young leader of the Demon Cult, and he still had the label of a little pervert.
With his current status, even if he finds loyal and righteous people, they may not be willing to follow him.
…
"Hoo, hoo."
Gongsun Fu kept panting and pointed forward and said: "We are finally here. The intelligence gathering capability here is no less than that of Tongyin Palace."
"Mingshu Pavilion?"
Looking at the plaque at the door of the library, Bai Xiuping was a little surprised. This place was completely different from a restaurant like Shao Hua Building. It looked very ordinary from the outside.
It's really low-key, so low-key that you can't tell it's a place where intelligence is collected.
Pushing open the door, the old bookshelf was neatly filled with books, and there was only an old man inside.
The old man carried an oil lamp and packed the books on the bookshelf.
"Are there any good books?"
The old man, who was packing his books with his head down, said, "Where do the guests come from?"
"The moonlight is weak and the place is dark."
The old man turned his head slightly when he heard this, glanced at the two people who came in, and then said: "There may not be what you two want here."
Gongsun Fu replied: "Yes, how are the sales of books recently?"
What the two said was completely wrong. Bai Xiuping guessed that what they said must be code words. It seemed that all intelligence gathering places liked to do this.
After hearing Gongsun Fu's answer, the old man pushed the two of them out directly.
The door closed with a "Bang!"
The code he got was obviously correct. Gongsun Fu, who was kicked out, knocked on the door and said angrily: "Why did you lock the door suddenly! Do you understand what I said?"
Bai Xiuping on the side remained silent. He thought the matter was not that simple.
Although it was only for a moment, he realized that it was him who looked at him the same way the old man did when he came in.
After the old man drove them away, he came to a place, opened the door to the underground secret room, and walked slowly down.
Arriving outside the door of a secret room, the old man reported: "Someone is coming from Yangming Palace, and it's the young leader himself. What should we do?"
"Are you sure he came here in person?"
The old man nodded and replied: "Although he is wearing a hat, looking at his handsome face, there is only one young leader in the Ming Cult, and it must be him."
The old man inside the door put down the pen in his hand and said in a deep voice: "What happened in the magic cave? When he came back, he first made a big fuss in Shao Hua Tower, and then he came to find me."
"It does feel different than before, but he was always an elusive person and he is even more elusive now."
After hearing this, the old man asked even more doubtfully: "He didn't go to the Treasure Collection Palace but came to me. Did he say what he wanted?"
"Roster, the ranking book of the Ming Cult."
The old man sneered: "Is it reasonable for the Young Master of Mingjiao to come to Mingjiao's ranking book? In that case, let me come and meet them in person."
The old man outside the secret room said worriedly: "Master, do you want to see them in person? Is there... something wrong with this?"
The faint light of the lamp illuminated the secret room, and the old man's figure flickered in and out under the lamp, with no expression visible on his weathered face.
The old man sitting at the desk said, "Everyone in the world says he is a good-for-nothing scoundrel. If he sees nothing unusual when he sees me, it proves that he is indeed a waste."
"If he realizes that he is really not a playboy, that would actually be a good thing for me now."
The wall in the secret room was covered with papers. The old man looked at the article on the desk and said slowly: "Young Master of the Mingjiao, is it a straw rope that breaks when you grab it on the edge of the cliff, or..."
…
"Ey-"
When the library door reopened, Gongsun Fu was still cursing and complaining about the old man driving them out.
The old man ignored him and led the two of them directly to the entrance of the underground secret room.
Gongsun Fu, who followed the old man into the secret room, was shocked and said: "There is such a secret place underground. This is my first time here."
Several people passed through a dark corridor under the secret room.
At the door of the secret room, the old man reported: "A guest is coming to visit you."
"Well, come in."
After the old man in the secret room agreed, Bai Xiuping and the two followed the old man into the secret room, and what they saw was a wall full of portraits.
This shocked them again. Gongsun Fu said in surprise: "What are these?"
The old man in the library pushed the old man in the secret room to appear.
Among them, the old man sitting in a wheelchair replied: "Those are just my pastimes to pass the time when I have nothing to do."
After saying that, the old man immediately bowed his hands to Bai Xiuping and said, "See you, Young Master."
"You already know my identity before I say anything."
Bai Xiuping squinted his eyes and stared at the old man in front of him.
The old man explained: "When a person lives to a certain age, he can still know something about certain things even if he has not seen it with his own eyes or heard it with his own ears."
Bai Xiuping didn't believe the old man's explanation. Everything here was unusual. How could this old man be an ordinary person?
This secret room is full of all kinds of information, and the old man's chair with wheels caught Bai Xiuping's attention.
Bai Xiuping asked with interest: "Did you make this chair yourself?"
"Yes, this is called a wheelchair. I have limited mobility, so I just did this. It's nothing special."
The old man in front of him seems to be in his dying years, but he owns a library that can collect information, and there is also a huge secret room hidden underground. And he can make such an exquisite wheelchair.
Bai Xiuping said with a serious face: "I am really surprised to be greeted personally by an expert like you."
The old man's figure swayed, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
This secret room was filled with portraits of various people. When Bai Xiuping took a closer look, he was shocked and found that these portraits turned out to be lists of names.
Moreover, it is a list of names of all major martial arts forces in the Central Plains!
The appearance and information of all the decent sects, evil sects and even people from the imperial court in the Central Plains are here. The old man in front of him actually recorded all the major masters here.
The Seven Heroes of Wudang, the Patriarch of Huashan, including the Shaolin Monk, and many people who have long since disappeared from the world are here.
Of course, there is also Bai Xiuping's father, the current leader of the martial arts alliance.
"Father……"
