Chapter 373 The Secret Meeting in Beijing (1)
Twelve days after the Eternal Night Competition, Beijing.
The low-key but luxurious courtyard in the western suburbs looks out from outside the door, and the door cymbals are shiny, and lonely hidden in an old locust tree forest.
From the perspective of appearance, this level of mansion is not only qualified to be a mansion in this chaotic world, but it is at least considered a rich mansion that is just a fake one. However, there is no plaque on the gate to name this mansion, which seems unreasonable.
Inside, in the spacious and sparse courtyard, several potted wintersweets are close to the black window lattices and stone walls, blooming stubbornly against the cold wind. Against the backdrop of the white snow all over the floor, this strange courtyard also seems to have some vitality.
The snow had already stopped after a night of snow. It was noon and the unlocked door was slowly pushed open. Then, a woman entered the period.
The visitor was none other than Shadali, who disappeared from the Eternal Night Competition twelve days ago.
Shadali entered the yard, looked around the scene slightly, paused in front of a nearby wintersweet, bowed his head with interest and took a deep breath, and walked straight to the main room on the north side along the snow.
Four men and two women had already sat in the main hall. When Shadali arrived, he gathered seven people, and these seven people were all seven members of the Baoyiwei.
There are three seats on each side of the main hall, and the seat in the middle of the right is still empty. Seeing Shadali, Ouyang Zhiguo, who was sitting at the upper seat, gave a wink at the empty chair and snorted softly: "It's been four years in a flash, and the seven of us have finally gathered again. Shadali, please sit down."
After Shadayi sat down, he asked Ouyang Zhiguo vigilantly: "Your Majesty once issued an order. Without Your Majesty's authorization, the seven of us should not gather in private. You summon us to your house today, what's wrong?"
Ouyang Zhiguo smiled disapprovingly and said, "Yes, it is not your Majesty's will to summon everyone to meet in my house today. However, Your Majesty also has an oral order for me to bring it to you. I think, our Big Dipper has not been together for four years, and I, Ouyang Zhiguo, missed my brothers and sisters very much, so I dared to make a decision and summon everyone to listen to Your Majesty's oral order."
"Hahahaha..." On the seat on the left, there was an old woman sitting, the second-ranked Jumen star Wang Toungyun, who was the second-ranked Jumen star among the Baoyiwei. After hearing this, he looked up at the sky and laughed in a deep voice, "Yes, Zhiguo, Shadali, you two went to the Songshan Taoist Temple for four years. You finally returned successfully today. I am really curious about what the eternal night forest that Your Majesty misses you all look like? I came to this mansion early in the morning to wait. Zhiguo insisted on waiting for everyone to show it, which made me drink the leisure tea here for the whole morning. OK, the people are finally here. Zhiguo, you should take it out and open your eyes to everyone."
"Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will let you all understand." Ouyang Zhiguo finished speaking, and took the wooden box that had already been placed here from the square table on his right. After opening it, he took out the dark green koi jade pendant. Liang showed it to everyone and said seriously, "This is the result of Shadali and I lurking in Zhongyue Temple for four years."
The five people except Shadali immediately watched intently, and Wang Toyun said in confusion: "That's it? Haha, can this thing really bring millions of monsters to help?"
Ouyang Zhiguodao: "This jade pendant is indeed the Eternal Night Forest, but unfortunately, although our Baoyiwei's intelligence network is very powerful, there are omissions in this matter. After we succeeded, we realized that this object was only half of the holy object transformed by Taixu Zhenren 150 years ago, and that other half seemed to be buried somewhere in Kunlun Mountain by Taixu Zhenren. Only by piecing the two into a complete Pisces jade pendant and turning it with the power of purification can it play a role in controlling the mind of the monster."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, there are so many names!" Wang Toyun said disdainfully, "What will His Majesty do? Should we find our other half, or directly destroy it?"
Ouyang Zhiguo put the jade pendant back into the box and put it away, responding: "Your Majesty did not expect this to be the case. After learning the truth, he issued a special order to let us find our other half of the jade pendant."
"Oh?" Wang Toyun said thoughtfully, "In that case, who else has to go to Kunlun Mountain?"
Shadali said: "Yes, no matter how we gained Li Shengqing's trust in the Zhongyue Temple over the years, he never revealed any news about the truth about the Eternal Night Forest. Therefore, I later learned that there was a treasure map that recorded the location of the half of the jade pendant. Unfortunately, when I took away this jade pendant, although I saw the treasure map in front of the champion Huo Zhizhang, I was in a hurry and could not take it away together. In this way, we have to find the treasure map first."
Everyone was silent for a moment, Ouyang Zhiguodao: "Everyone, this is the situation." Then, he looked at Zhang Xingwen who was leaning against the right side and said: "Zhang Xingwen, you have been in charge of contacting Hanba for years, and are the only one of the seven of us who have been to Kunlun Mountain. What are your opinions? Let's hear it."
Zhang Xingwen had already fallen into deep thought, frowned, and then responded for a while: "When I took Hanba to Kunlun Mountain to find the sealed land of Geduo, I had seen a large piece of manual traces on the ground on a nearby mountain. Although I felt a little strange at that time, I didn't take it to heart. Now, after hearing Brother Zhiguo say this, I really doubt that the area would be the burial place of the half of the jade pendant. If this is true, once the treasure has been poached, we will not have to go to Kunlun Mountain."
Ouyang Zhiguo was stunned for a moment, then asked Shadali, "Shadali, do you remember that last summer, the Xiqu man named Mingyou once discovered that there were four breaths of purification power gathering on Kunlun Mountain?"
Shadali said: "Remember, do you suspect they dug up half of the jade pendant?"
"No, but what is the truth? It's better to ask the person involved." After saying that, Ouyang Zhiguo mobilized the power of purification, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was spreading the sound of his mind.
Soon, a thin black-haired monster came into the main hall. It was Mingyou, the subordinate of Qianxiqu who rescued Sha Dali twice in Henan and defeated by Pu Zixuan.
Seeing the monster enter, everyone was stunned. A bunch of confused eyes swam around between Mingyou and Ouyang Zhiguo. Shadali even exclaimed: "Mingyou... why are you here?" Then he looked at Ouyang Zhiguo Road: "Have you taken him in?"
Ouyang Zhiguo explained: "Everyone should be calm. This monster is named Mingyou. It was originally a subordinate of Xiqu. He once followed Xiqu to Dadu River to annihilate Shi Dakai. Later, he had contact with us in Henan. There was always a monster in our team that controls the enemy situation, so I decided to take it in."
Shadali still couldn't accept it and asked again: "Does Your Majesty know about this?"
Ouyang Zhiguo smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, but as long as you can find the complete Eternal Night Forest, why do you need to disturb Your Majesty in everything?"
Mingyou grinned and said, "Shadali, don't panic. Haven't we been friends all the time? Now that the Emperor Xiqu has been murdered, I have nowhere to go. Why don't you come and enjoy the wealth and honor of the world with Ouyang Zhiguo? Isn't it okay?"
"Hahahaha..." Wang Toongyun laughed, "I never thought that Zhiguo, I am a great Baoyiwei. Now I not only have to cooperate with the demon world, but also have to work with them! Interesting, really interesting! Zhiguo, what are your plans and you still be honest about it?"
Ouyang Zhiguo said to Mingyou: "Mingyou, I came to you to ask, are you still familiar with the breath of the purifier who appeared on Kunlun Mountain last summer? Where are they now? Can you find them?"
Mingyou got a precious opportunity to make contributions amid doubts, and couldn't wait to say: "Ouyang Zhiguo, you have found the right person. I remember that one of them was one of the eight contestants in the Eternal Night Competition - Huo Zhizhang."
After hearing this, Ouyang Zhiguo seemed to be deeply shocked. He leaned back unconsciously and sighed: "Huo Zhizhang, it's him..."
Wang Tounyun was always interested and asked again: "Who is Huo Zhizhang? It's a matter of worrying about you."
