Even though Nalan Jingzhi was well-informed, this was the first time he saw the Holy Fire Sword, and he never expected that Bai Xiuping would get it so easily.
After regaining consciousness, he raised his head and smiled, patting the wheelchair and saying with a smile: "That's because the Five Sacred Artifacts are completely useless to him."
Bai Xiuping tilted his head and looked at Nalan Jingzhi with confusion.
"The five sacred weapons can only be controlled by those who have mastered the sacred skills of the devil."
Nalan Jingzhi could completely imagine Wei Yuanji trying to pull out the Holy Fire Sword with a look of unwillingness.
He laughed and explained: "He must have been reluctant to give it to others before, but when he was found to be holding the Holy Fire Sword, it would get him into trouble. Now he just gave it to you to mess up the situation."
Nalan Jingzhi wiped the tears of laughter from the corner of his eyes. He couldn't hold it back anymore and said with a smile: "He thinks it is safest to give the Holy Fire Sword to a rogue young leader."
The reason why Nalan Jingzhi mentioned the Five Sacred Artifacts to Bai Xiuping before was that he wanted Bai Xiuping to search for them and collect them all.
When he thought of this, Nalan Jingzhi pointed at him excitedly and shouted: "As a result, you have collected two sacred artifacts inadvertently. You are so lucky."
Looking at Nalan Jingzhi who was laughing, he stood there blankly with his sword raised.
For a moment, I didn't understand whether Nalan Jingzhi was praising himself or hurting himself.
Bai Xiuping was too lazy to talk to Nalan Jingzhi and looked down at the Holy Fire Sword in his hand.
The Holy Fire Sword is a dagger. Among the techniques I learned in the past, there are no dagger-related moves.
In addition, the method of using a dagger is different from that of a long sword, and I have never learned the part of holding the sword in the backhand to slash.
In the Central Plains area, daggers are indeed not used by many people.
Except for assassins, they are usually women, and fewer men will wear short swords.
It is said that the sword is the symbol of a gentleman, so other people naturally subconsciously choose long swords that are more gentlemanly.
Nalan Jingzhi saw him lowering his head and said nothing, guessed his thoughts, and slowly said: "I heard that the third elder of the Explanation Sect is proficient in the martial arts of the Western Regions."
Bai Xiuping's eyes lit up. Yes, daggers were rarely used in the Central Plains, but they were common weapons in the Western Regions.
Nalan Jingzhi said calmly: "You may wish to visit him when you have time."
"The third elder upholds a humble character, devotes his life to teachings, and acts for ordinary believers. He now lives in Fire Peak."
Bai Xiuping nodded in agreement and put away the Holy Fire Sword.
"We will deal with this matter slowly later. You can first tell me how to remove the people from the Nine-Liu Sect."
Bai Xiuping said helplessly: "I can't have to come here in person every time I need to ask for information."
"Nine-stream gates are everywhere."
Nalan Jingzhi handed Bai Xiuping a token with a four-clawed golden dragon and the word "respect" engraved on it.
"When necessary, just find an inn, anywhere. As long as you show this token, they will come to you."
Bai Xiuping put away the token, turned around and waved before leaving.
After Bai Xiuping left Mingshu Pavilion, Wei Moyan came to the secret room and saw the wine bottle on the ground and Nalan Jingzhi's slightly drunk appearance.
He froze in place for a moment.
After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Sir, you haven't drank with others for a long time."
Nalan Jingzhi, who rarely took a break, said slowly: "Everyone in the world says that this young leader is a lecherous scoundrel, but I occasionally see the shadow of an old friend in him."
His face was full of nostalgia at this moment.
Wei Moyan was a little surprised. His master didn't have any old friends in Shiwandashan.
Naturally, this old friend is from the Central Plains.
Wei Moyan couldn't help but ask: "Who is it?"
"A very talented person who could have made that arena more interesting."
Nalan Jingzhi sneered: "It's a pity that the huge world can't accommodate a young man, let alone an old man like me."
The darkroom has been dark for a long time, and it is difficult for Yin and Yang to meet again.
...
The Mingjiao's Hundred Thousand Mountains is well-deserved. This water peak alone is surrounded by mountains. It's no wonder that it has been hidden for so many years, and the decent sect has never been able to find their base.
Beyond the Great Wall, there is the Turkic steppe.
In a dense forest in the distance, a black shadow appeared here.
The person who came was none other than Bai Xiuping. After leaving Mingshu Pavilion, he went straight to the Turkic camp.
Looking from a distance, the Turks have set up camps there, and there are dense soldiers patrolling everywhere.
Bai Xiuping's inner secrets were so tightly guarded, it was not in line with common sense, which meant that the other party must be plotting something.
Especially in one of the villages, there were dense guards all around.
There was obviously some important figure inside. Bai Xiuping approached quietly, thinking, could it be Zuo Bei?
Now that he's here, Bai Xiuping plans to simply step forward and take a peek.
He wanted to see what secrets this Turkic man hid.
Bai Xiuping used the Heavenly Demon Holy Art to secretly shuttle through the woods, constantly approaching the camp.
As a movement technique in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art, Heavenly Demon Walking is not only extremely fast, it can also be made silently.
As long as Bai Xiuping didn't take the initiative to show up, these Turkic soldiers would naturally not be able to find him.
On the way forward, Bai Xiuping felt that something was not right. If it were Zuo Bei, with his strength, he would need so many people to protect him outside.
It's more like surveillance than protection.
It's like locking someone important inside.
Bai Xiuping was about to step forward to find out what was going on. Suddenly, a gaze from afar looked this way, and Bai Xiuping hurriedly hid.
There is too little information at hand now, so if we just alert the enemy, we will lose more than we gain.
However, with his current body skills, would he be noticed by others?
"Master, what happened?"
The guard beside him asked nervously when he saw Zuo Bei suddenly looking towards the woods.
This is a special period, and there is no room for them to be careless, especially the people detained in the camp are extremely important.
If anything goes wrong, even if all of them put together, there won't be enough for burial.
"Um......"
Zuo Bei didn't answer. Just for a moment, there seemed to be a breath of life in the woods, but the feeling was very weak, just like an animal.
After thinking for a moment, just in case, Zuo Bei pointed to the woods ahead and said to the guards: "You guys, go over there and check if there is anyone."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the four guards immediately formed their formation and rushed into the forest.
As the personal guards of Zuo Bei, their strength and execution ability are extremely high, and they are close to the location designated by Zuo Bei in an instant.
The leading man raised his hand back to signal the other three to slow down. Years of cooperation have created a tacit understanding among the few that needs no words.
The most important thing about detection is not to be discovered.
The four people were scattered in four directions, lurking near the location, and gradually got closer.
They are different from ordinary Jianghu sects. They are well-trained soldiers. Of course, they will not give the target a chance to escape.
The leading man waved, and several people kicked off their feet, appearing at the place pointed by the left stele at the same time.
Four people appeared there instantly.
But there was no one nearby, only a flower snake crawling on the ground.
"Boss, what should we do?"
The leading man was silent for a moment. Regardless of whether it was a snake or something else, he took it to hand and said to the man next to him: "Fourth, take this snake and we will go back and report it to the Grand Master."
On a hillside in the distance, Bai Xiuping stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the dense forest at his feet.
He sighed softly. Although he didn't have time to see the person's appearance clearly, he thought it must be the stone tablet mentioned by Nalan Jingzhi.
He thought that he had hidden it very secretly just now, but he was still able to be detected by the other party.
He is indeed no ordinary person.
And why did the other party come here in person?
As one of the Turkic leaders, he would personally come to one of the camps and be heavily guarded. There must be something fishy about this matter.
It seems that I still have to go back and think about the countermeasures carefully.
…
Mingjiao, Yuefeng, Yuehua Tower.
Yuehua Tower is the headquarters of Tongyin Palace and the place where the master of Tongyin Palace is located.
If this place is an ordinary place of smoke and willows, its architecture is more like the beautiful buildings and jade buildings described by literati.
It is majestic, with green tiles and red buildings, painted with various bird patterns and colorful. The floor was covered with a soft brocade embroidered carpet, and occasionally a few bright red flames burned.
If we ignore the drunken man who fell to the ground at the door.
"Xiyue pays homage to the Palace Master."
On the top floor of Yuehua Building, Captain Yuling Xiyue knelt down respectfully to the people behind the curtain and bowed her head in salute.
"His, hiss, hiss."
A white snake crawled behind the curtain.
"Xiyue, can you send a message to the tenant in the third room for me?"
"Invite them to take a walk in Yangming Palace."
Xiyue's pupils shrank and she was suddenly startled.
