Chapter 72 Shizhou Bridge (End of this Volume)
Qin Baopu looked up at the shaking light and shadow on the stone roof, sighed a long time, and said, "At that time, although I was surrounded, fortunately, I also understood some secret techniques and tricks that others didn't know. Seeing that my daughter became someone I had never known before, all my family and disciples were killed, they had to rely on the method of drilling into the underground secret passage and escaped from the pursuit of these people with the skylight. After that, I kept asking about the Zoroastrianism, but over the past few decades, I didn't get too many clues related to them, and after that, I had never seen Xueer again."
Ning Jiang pondered for a long time and said, "Senior mentioned the 'good goddess' just now..."
Qin Baopu said: "About this matter, later I heard that the dualism of good and evil in Zoroastrianism is held, which has some similarities with the Tai Chi theory of our Taoism. Their doctrine is extremely rigorous. I heard that under the 'female master', there are two 'gods', one is the good goddess and the other is the evil goddess. However, I don't know whether the woman who was born in the fire that day was really the good goddess in Zoroastrianism. No matter how many methods I used to do, I still know very little in the end."
Deep in the stone tomb, there was silence...

Although he knew Qin Baopu's past, Ning Jiang obviously could not do anything for him. After so many years of work, even Qin Baopu himself had already given up. Or, even if he found his daughter, what could he do? Kill his daughter to avenge his family?
The sky was falling, and Ning Jiang handed it to Qin Wuyan for a while.
That evening, after learning that he would leave early tomorrow morning, Qin Ze, the "Empty Lie Ghost" came to Ningjiang and bowed down. Ningjiang helped him up and asked him what was important.
Qin Ze said: "The adoptive father is old. If all of us leave, we are afraid that if the adoptive father is lost and no one will take care of him. I hope the master can allow the villain to temporarily stay and take care of his adoptive father, and go to the capital in the future to serve the master."
Ning Jiang smiled and said, "This is your loyalty, how could I refuse?"
So he left Qin Ze, and the next day, he left with his sister, the white-faced ghost, the crucible ghost, the beauty ghost, and the Linglong ghost.
When they were going down the mountain, Qin Baopu sat in a wheelchair, looked at Ning Jiang's back at the hillside, and sighed.
Qin Ze pushed the wheelchair behind him and said, "Entertainment Father, what are you thinking?"
Qin Baopu said: "The immortal god of the valley is called the mysterious female. The gate of the mysterious female is called the root of heaven and earth... After this son comes out, what will the people live?"

It actually didn't snow on Shizhou Bridge on the day of "heavy snow".
Although it did not snow, the weather was very cold and the weather was cold. There were not many pedestrians on the Shizhou Bridge. A ox cart slowly passed through the bridge. The Wuding River under the bridge was gurgling with water. In this depressing season, it was running downstream casually.
There is an old yard in a town in the distance. At this moment, Ning Jiang was lying on the bed. Qin Wuyan sat beside the bed, covered his face with his dexterous fingers and kept kneading and slapping his face.
This is the "skin" of the Poison Young Master.
When Luo Jieling was in Luo Jiang, Ning Jiang had already asked Qin Wuyan to peel off the Du Gongzi's skin and make a human skin mask.
Of course, this kind of human skin mask still has many restrictions. If it is used on Qin Wuyan's own face, because the secret technique called "Sheng Water" she practiced since childhood can be used for a long time. When used on other people's faces, each human skin mask can only be used once. Usually, after two or three days, the human skin mask will begin to change color, and will start to rot if it is summer.
Of course, Qin Wuyan is also proficient in some disguise methods that can change a person's appearance without using human skin masks, but this disguise method is difficult to become another "person who already exists."
For example, if you don’t use the face of the Poison Young Master, although Qin Wuyan can also use the disguise technique to make Ning Jiang look 70 or 80% like the Poison Young Master, it is extremely difficult to make people unable to recognize him at all.
Although the human skin mask of "Dog Young Master" can only be used this time on his face, Ning Jiang did not intend to use it all the time.
At the other end, Xiaomeng sat at the table. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Qin Xiaoya brought up a basket of buns. Xiaomeng picked up a bun, tore open his mouth, and looked left and right.
Xiao Yaer whispered: "Miss...beef stuffed!"
Ning Xiaomeng: “……………Oh!”
Ning Jiang stood up, came to the mirror, looked left and right, and at this moment, he looked exactly like the Poison Young Master. Then, Qin Wuyan helped him change his clothes.
Xiao Meng said uneasyly: "Brother, I'll go with you?"
Ning Jiang said: "No!"
Xiao Meng said anxiously: "What if..."
Looking at Xiao Meng and the others' worried gazes, Ning Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to protect myself."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Mo and Qin Kan were called in. After giving instructions, Qin Mo and Qin Kan left. Then, Ningjiang looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark, so he went out of the backyard, left the town, and came to Shizhou Bridge. The cold wind blew over the bridge, causing his face to ached faintly. The moonlight in the sky was lonely, and the mountains in the distance were outlining blurred shadows in the night.
He waited here for a long time until midnight. When he thought he had made a mistake and was about to give up, a figure sneaked over from the other side of the bridge, took out a blood-colored diamond crystal from his pocket, and said another word that was completely incomprehensible.
Ning Jiang immediately knew that the worst thing he expected happened, and this person did not look at his face. In other words, for the "contact person" standing in front of Ning Jiang, it doesn't matter who the person who was connected to him was. He may even know nothing. He only recognized the token and the secret code of the joint.
However, although Ning Jiang had a "token", that is, the diamond-shaped crystal he took from the Du Gongzi, he did not know the code of the joint.
Despite this, Ning Jiang did not hesitate at all. He flipped his hand and raised the diamond crystal, and raised it between the man and his eyes. The man looked up and saw Ning Jiang's eyes. His eyes seemed to have a light flashed, and then he opened his mouth.
The man saw the token and also saw the young man standing in front of him, and opened his mouth as if he had said something. He could not hear the young man's words clearly, but the captivating gaze made him feel a vague consciousness that the young man had already said the secret code of the connection.
So the man turned around, raised his hand, suddenly his face changed, turned his head suddenly, looked at Ning Jiang, suddenly drew his sword, and rushed towards Ning Jiang.
With a bang, a ball of golden light burst out and shot on the man. The man threw him back and fell to the ground.
Ning Jiang threw the empty rainy pear blossom needle in his hand, and the bamboo tube fell into the lake, splashing water. He held his hands and sighed... His soul-catching technique may be useful to ordinary people, but it is indeed not very useful to such warriors.
He raised his head and looked in the direction where the man had just waved his hand. There, someone crawled out of the darkness. Seeing that there was a change on the bridge, he immediately turned around and ran away and disappeared into the darkness.
Ning Jiang walked towards the other end of the bridge with his hands behind his back. Not long after, a "punch" sound came from the darkness in the distance. After a while, Qin Kan came out of the soil, holding something in his hand: "Master, this is something that was stole from that man." He just hid in the soil under the feet of the escapee, secretly used a trick to trip the man and take the opportunity to steal this thing from that man.
Ning Jiang took it over and saw that it was a stack of paper rolls. He spread it open and looked at it one by one, and was suddenly moved. Then he looked at Qin Kan: "You go and pick up Qin Mo and follow that person together, be careful and pay attention to safety."
Qin Kan said: "Yes!" He ran away under the night...
***
Three days later—
"Zombie Sect, Wu Cheng?"
A luxurious horse-drawn carriage drove towards Haojing on the official road.
In the carriage, Qin Mo reported to Ningjiang: "That's right! I followed the master's instructions and followed the man all the way. The man climbed over two mountains and joined the other in a dilapidated temple. It was about that time that the man discovered that something had been lost on him. There was a dispute in the temple, and the people in the temple killed the man. After dawn, the people in the temple left, and were suspicious all the way, and were cautious. If the villain had not had the art of hiding in the daytime, he had already been discovered by the man. Then, the man entered the county town, and the villain continued to inquire in secret and learned that the person in the temple was the owner of the branch opened by the Zombie Gate in the county town, named Wu Cheng."
Ning Jiang pondered: "Zombie Sect..." It sounds like a low-ranking sect.
Qin Mo said: "This zombie sect is not very famous. It belongs to the left side gate, but because of its main business, it has branches in all prefectures and counties, and the headquarter is located in the outer city of Haojing."
Ning Jiang said: "What is its main business?"
Qin Mo said: "Hold the coffin and drive away the corpse! The Zombie Sect is proficient in corpse driving. Any wanderers, scholars, tourists, and officials who died in other places who died in other places and after investigating the cause of death, they often transport the corpse back to their hometown through the Zombie Sect. Most of the corpse inns and charity villages in the states around Haojing are their territory."
Ning Jiang sighed: "It is indeed a business that can be spread out in a net, but it is not noticeable at all." He took out the roll of paper from his sleeve: "Do you know, what is this?"
Qin Mo, Qin Kan, and Qin Wuyan were beside him and looked at him together.
Ning Jiang spread the paper rolls one by one: "The records on these papers are the troops stationed by the Central Plains governments, as well as the names, personalities of the commanders from various places, as well as the list of their families and where they live."
Qin Mo, Qin Kan, and Qin Wuyan were all moved. This kind of thing almost fell into the hands of the poisonous young master under the Xiling Brother Mu?
Qin Mo's expression changed: "Is it possible that the Zombie Sect is actually a spy hidden by the Miao people in the Central Plains?"
Ning Jiang said: "It is possible, but I think it should not be so simple. First of all, these information are definitely not something that can be obtained by a zombie sect. I can even be sure that among the senior officials of the court, someone must be collecting these information so that they can do it in such detail. Secondly, that person is probably not from Brother Xiling, otherwise, they should have another way to pass these information to Xiling, instead of the Du Gongzi coming to the Central Plains. I guess there are other forces behind this, secretly collecting these information and handing it over to the ambitious Xiling, which may also include the barbarians in the north."
He stared at the information: "If I was not wrong... it was probably Zoroastrianism!"
Qin Mo said: "How about it be a young man, start investigating Wu Cheng?"
Ning Jiang shook his head and said, "It's useless! Wu Cheng is only a low-level person who has been exploited at most. Even if he is caught, he will definitely not know anything. Instead, it will make us alert the enemy. For this clue of Wu Cheng, we should not touch him again. After entering Beijing, we will investigate the Zombie Sect and the hidden forces behind the Zombie Sect from another direction."
He looked out the window and saw that at this moment, there were large scattered snowflakes floating outside the window.
In his previous life, he had almost no contact with Zoroastrianism. He was not interested in Zoroastrianism, and Zoroastrianism never came to cause trouble for him.
But now, with the monster running out of Yuehu, with the emergence of the sky and the unexpected manifestation of the hidden forces of Zoroastrianism, it seems that his interactions with Zoroastrianism... will come earlier than expected.
Forget it, if the soldiers come and generals stop them, the fire comes... it will only be flooded!
The carriage continued to move forward, and the mountains slowly retreated outside the window with the rolling wheels.
Haojing, the thousand-year-old ancient capital, is getting closer and closer to them, and the magnificent historical trend is also coming towards them......
