Chapter 31 Chapter 31 “Who is speaking…
"Who is speaking?"
Xi Qing glanced around and then slammed the back of her head against the wall a few times.
The light is brighter.
Bie Yinian also tried hard to shine, "Damn it!"
He saw a tied-up man sitting cross-legged on the ground in the corner. His hair was messy and his clothes were tattered.
With his head lowered, the light was too dim to see his face clearly.
"Who are you?" Xi Qing was a little scared. Could this be a ghost?
[Why is there someone here?! I was shocked!]
[Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness…]
[Luckily, there are two human-shaped light bulbs, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see anything clearly.]
[It looks like this person has been imprisoned for a long time.]
Xi Qing looked at the man and saw that his arms were hanging limply, covered with scars. He looked so thin that it seemed as if only skin was left.
"Were you also captured by the people from Fengyun Tower?"
The man lowered his head and said hoarsely, "Fengyun Tower? Hehehe."
"What are you laughing at?" Bie Yinian was puzzled.
"I'm laughing at you for not even knowing where this place is," the man said slowly, word by word. "This is the territory of the Xingsha Cult."
Xi Qing: “???!!”
Star Evil Sect?
Didn’t that bad guy No. 1 say it was Fengyun Tower at the beginning?
Wait, they seemed to be calling that guy the leader.
Damn, Bad Guy No. 1 tricked them!
The world is dangerous!
"Then why were you arrested? What's your name?" Xi Qing continued to ask.
This guy was also arrested. There's no word "bad guy" on his head, so he must be a good guy.
The man said quietly, "Wan Sheng."
Xi Qing: “…”
“Never heard of it.”
Wang Sheng was stunned. "How many years have passed outside?"
Could it be that he has been in this prison for decades and no one in the world knows his name anymore?
Bie Yinian was shining brightly, and he didn't know how to answer the question outside about how many years had passed.
He changed the subject and asked, "How did you get caught?"
In the dim environment, they couldn't see what this delusion looked like.
Only the people in the live broadcast room started running towards the tour guide's live broadcast room, ready to ask who Wangsheng was.
Wang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a very long story."
"Back in the day, I was a well-known figure in the martial arts world, ahem."
He seemed extremely weak and didn't have much strength to speak.
The story begins when Wangsheng was born. He was born in Lushui Village. At that time, he was carefree and all he had to do every day was catch chickens and dogs.
When he was five years old, his mother gave birth to a younger brother, but unfortunately she died during childbirth.
The village also suffered a devastating disaster, and he forgot the past until another month passed and his father also died.
Before his death, his father told him, "Find Goudan, he is your younger brother..."
Mengsheng has a peach blossom-shaped birthmark on his shoulder blade. He also disappeared when Lushui Village suffered a devastating disaster.
After his father died, Wangsheng buried his father and left Lushui Village alone.
Later, he joined the Qiankun Palace, and because of his high talent, he followed the master of the Qiankun Palace to learn martial arts.
The Palace Master also gave him the name Wangsheng, wanting to train him as the next successor.
Unfortunately, when he was eighteen years old, the master of Qiankun Palace was killed by someone unknown, and Wangsheng was pushed to the position of the master of Qiankun Palace by many disciples.
After he became the Palace Master, he had been searching for the murderer of the previous Palace Master.
The murderer left a knife mark on the body of the master of Qiankun Palace. After Wangsheng's judgment, the knife mark should be from Ba Yidao.
This Tyrant Blade is the famous move of Gongsun Wu, the lord of Sifang City.
Wangsheng chased all the way to Sifang City to ask Gongsun Wu for an explanation, but Gongsun Wu refused to admit it. People in the city also testified for him, saying that he had never left Sifang City.
The death of the previous master of Qiankun Palace was confusing, so he could only let Gongsun Wu think about who else would take over Yidao and who wanted to put the blame on Gongsun Wu.
In short, this incident shocked the martial arts world at that time, and many people in the martial arts world were involved.
Finally, it was the head monk of Shaolin Temple, Hui Yuan, who revealed a person's name.
The man's name was Sima You, an orphan with extremely high talent. He could learn most of the other people's martial arts just by looking at them.
It is even easier to forge.
Sima You, this name is not well-known in the martial arts world, but his martial arts skills make many people in the martial arts world afraid of him.
He has no master and no sect, but he can imitate various martial arts vividly by his own strength. It is possible that he forged Ba Yidao's martial arts.
His appearance gave Wangsheng a glimmer of hope.
"Sima You?" Wangsheng frowned.
"Yes, it's him," Hui Yuan said at the time, "He once entered the Shaolin Temple and tried to steal the Shaolin Temple's unique skills, but I later discovered him and drove him out."
"Then where is he now?" Wangsheng asked anxiously.
The head of Huiyuan shook his head, "I don't know either."
Wangsheng fell silent. It might not be easy to find Sima You.
But in order to avenge the previous hall master, he must find this person.
"Then do you know the whereabouts of Goudan?" Xi Qing suddenly asked. She remembered that Wangsheng's father asked him to find Goudan before he died.
Wang Sheng sighed, "I haven't seen him since the incident in Lushui Village. I've been looking for him for many years, but I don't have any clues."
"Then how did you get caught here?" Bie Yinian asked.
Wangsheng gave a bitter smile and said, "Just listen to me and I'll tell you slowly."
He continued to track down Sima You with the disciples in the palace, but he was accidentally ambushed by the Demon Cult on the way.
The disciples in the hall suffered heavy casualties, and he also fell off a cliff.
However, he survived the disaster and found a secret book in the cliff.
This secret book may not seem very impressive at first glance, but once you master it, you will be able to dominate the world.
Wangsheng practiced this secret technique at the foot of the cliff until he reached the third level before coming out.
After coming out, he was determined to find Sima You's whereabouts, and along the way he met a man named Zhai Weixiu.
This person was cheerful and generous, which made Wangsheng gradually regard him as a close friend.
He even told Zhai Weixiu that he had been looking for his brother, and also told him about the peach blossom birthmark on his brother's shoulder.
But later, he discovered that Zhai Weixiu was a member of the Demon Sect. He became furious and accidentally scratched Zhai Weixiu's shoulder blade, where there was a peach blossom birthmark.
Wangsheng didn’t know why the situation turned out like this, but the birthmark was not fake.
Zhai Weixiu also closed his eyes and told the truth. He said that he was raised by the devil cult since he was a child. He never knew his own identity before. He just wanted to escape from the devil cult.
That's why he ran away secretly, but he unexpectedly found out that he was Wangsheng's biological brother.
He wanted to say it but didn't dare to, so it has been delayed until now.
Wangsheng was also very conflicted after hearing what he said. Logically speaking, the people from the Demon Sect should be eliminated as soon as possible, but this was Goudan.
For a moment he didn't know what to do.
[How ridiculous!]
[Isn't this a cliché from novels? Some reputable and upright sect must be involved with a demon.]
[Novels are novels, reality is reality. This life is also very miserable. My parents are dead, my master is gone, my brother is missing, and I can't catch my enemy...]
[The standard male lead configuration, but he seems a bit old.]
[What's wrong with being old?! Are elderly people unworthy of passion? Wang Shengchong, as long as you give the order, we will immediately support you as the hero of the martial arts film.]
[Hey, the tour guide is also asking about Wangsheng, let’s go check it out.]
A fan found Xia Zui's live broadcast room and saw Gongsun Wu saying, "Wan Sheng..."
"Didn't he die a long time ago?"
Xia Zui: “Ah?”
Gongsun Wu sipped his tea, unsure why his adopted sister had suddenly mentioned Wangsheng, but he continued, "Wangsheng was once the Palace Master of Qiankun Palace. Unfortunately, he was later harmed by the demonic sect, causing his meridians to be severed and he fell off a cliff."
"His body had already been buried, and I watched him being buried with my own eyes."
"Do you know Sima You?" Xia Zui continued to ask while looking at the barrage.
Gongsun Wu paused holding the teacup. "This man once stirred up trouble in the martial arts world and even secretly learned my Ba Yi sword technique."
"But he died later. He was killed by the female hero Feng Fuyu from Feng's Villa."
Xia Zui: "What about Zhai Weixiu?"
Gongsun Wu frowned and shook his head. "I've never heard of this name. How did you know it?"
He didn't know why his sister came to him and asked a lot of questions about people in the underworld from many years ago.
Moreover, he had indeed never heard of Zhai Weixiu.
Xia Zui was a little confused at first, and she was bewildered as she looked at the messages on the barrage.
At this time, the people in the live broadcast room also looked confused.
[Wang Sheng and Sima You are both dead, so who is in that dungeon?]
[Oh my god, I really want to grow a brain.]
[So who is Zhai Weixiu?]
[What are you talking about? I don’t understand a word you say.]
[Directing the host Sunny Doll, you can go there to watch.]
In the cave.
Xi Qing was also confused at this time. Why did so many people in the barrage say that Wangsheng was dead?
So... who is this person now?
Xi Qing felt a chill rising from behind her. Could this person really be a ghost?
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Wang Sheng didn't seem to notice their unusual behavior and continued, "But who would have known that Zhai Weixiu was kidnapped by the Demon Cult right in front of me."
"Three days later, I received a secret letter from the Demon Cult. They told me to go to Kutai Mountain alone. If I was willing to hand over the secret manual I found under the cliff, they would let Zhai Weixiu go."
In fact, with his martial arts skills at that time, it was not difficult for him to escape safely.
But he had to take care of Zhai Weixiu, who had been taking the poison of the Demon Cult since he was a child. If there was no antidote, he would die.
Wangsheng just passed away like that.
He did not intend to hand over the secret book. If he did, the cult would surely bring disaster to the world.
But he also had to save his own brother.
Finally, he decided to rescue Zhai Weixiu first, and then look for a miracle doctor to save him.
However, he didn't expect that just when he had gone through so much trouble to rescue Zhai Weixiu, Zhai Weixiu stabbed him in the back.
"When I woke up again, I was already here."
"He destroyed my martial arts, tortured me and forced me to teach him the secrets. I spent countless days and nights here."
[It is known that Wangsheng and Gongsun Wu are saying different things, so one of them must be lying. However, neither of them has a bad head, so who is deceiving me?]
[I think I should trust Gongsun Wu. After all, he has a good relationship with the tour guide.]
[Yes, yes, this person's origins are unknown.]
[Oops, my brain can't think straight anymore. Streamer, how about you ask what the cheat code is called?]
[Why not just rescue him and let them confront each other face to face?]
[That's a good idea.]
——
Xia Zui looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and asked, "You asked me to call for help?"
"Ok, wait a moment."
She had only just now realized that so many things had happened in just one day.
Moreover, the two tourists also found the suspected lair of the Star Demon Cult.
She remembered that Gongsun Qi was looking for the Xingsha Sect. Thinking of this, she hurried to find Gongsun Wu and Qiu Li.
"I wonder what's the matter that makes my sister so anxious?" Gongsun Wu, who had just left for a while, was called back again, with a puzzled look on his face.
Xia Zui said, "I have something important to tell you. Can we find a safer place?"
Gongsun Wu frowned slightly, "If that's the case, then follow me."
He brought Xia Zui, Gongsun Qi, and Qiu Li to the study, and then said, "It's safe here, sister, please tell me."
Xia Zui sat down before speaking, "My friend found the Xingsha Cult's lair."
Qiu Li immediately looked at her when he heard it, "Really?"
Xia Zui nodded, "My friends and I have a special way of communicating. Now they have been captured by the Xingsha Cult outside Sifang City and are trapped in a dungeon."
"There's another person in the prison who claims to be a delusion. He says he's not dead, but after falling off the cliff..."
She re-told the story that Wangsheng had told her.
Gongsun Wu: "How is that possible? I saw his corpse with my own eyes that year."
Qiu Li frowned, "Seeing is not necessarily believing. This matter is shrouded in mystery. Why don't we go and rescue Senior's friend first?"
"If we stay here for too long, something unexpected might happen."
Xia Zui pursed his lips and said, "My friends, you don't have to worry about their lives. They have golden bodies, and no one can harm them."
"I'm just telling you. You can make your own decisions. If you want to go to the Xingsha Sect, I can lead the way for you."
"I wonder where the Xingsha Cult's lair is?" Gongsun Qi asked.
Xia Zui: "I only know how to get there, I don't know the exact place name, but the Xingsha Sect is on a cliff, there's a cave there, and all the sect members are in the cave."
She could just take Xi Qing's live broadcast video and follow along, but if she was asked where it was, she really didn't know.
"On a steep cliff," Gongsun Wu's frown suddenly relaxed. "No wonder no one has found it in all these years."
Xia Zui wanted to say that it was not just that, the Xingsha Cult’s lair was quite close to you.
"I'll have to think this over for a bit," Gongsun Wu said. "The martial arts competition will be held the day after tomorrow, and all the martial arts experts are in Sifang City."
"The Xingsha Cult is quite powerful, and we are in their lair. With our strength, it may not be that easy to rescue your friend and that person safely."
Moreover, he didn't know whether there was any escape route from the Xingsha Cult's lair.
Gongsun Qi said, "Uncle, let's cut the Gordian knot. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll get another one."
"Besides, everyone in the martial arts world is here. What are we waiting for? Let's just call them over and fight together while it's dark and windy."
"Everyone must get rid of this evil and crooked path as soon as possible!"
Qiu Li spoke up at this moment, "Since the Xingsha Cult kidnapped our senior's friend outside of Sifang City, they must also have some plans for this martial arts tournament. There must be people from the Xingsha Cult watching Sifang City."
"If we go directly there, we might alert the enemy."
"Not right, not right."
[What should I do? They both make sense, I don’t know which one to listen to.]
[Is it really impossible to just rush over?]
[It would take time to rush over. If someone tips them off, it would be difficult to find the Xingsha Cult after they run away.]
[And who knows if there are any undercover agents from the Xingsha Cult among those in the martial arts world?]
[Don’t the tour guide and we all know this?]
[That’s right!]
Xia Zui looked at the comments and knew what they meant. Although she could see the bad guys, this was still not acceptable.
She has little influence and if she says that person is a bad guy without any evidence, that person will only be more cautious, and she might get into trouble herself.
"Xia Xia, do you want me to give you the map of the Xingsha Sect directly?" Eleven in his mind spoke.
Xia Zui was stunned, "You know all this?"
Eleven smiled and said, "Of course, the live broadcast ball has more functions than just live broadcasting. It's not that difficult to scan a map."
"Dangdang! It's done!"
Xia Zui looked at the map carefully and saw that the Xingsha Cult's lair really had many exits, and its internal structure was like an ant hole.
If they go there rashly, they might easily get lost.
"Why not wait until the tournament to see what they are going to do, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
Xia Zui said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
She has already figured out how to defeat the Xingsha Sect, hehe.
But this time she didn't want Gongsun Wu and the others to get involved.
First, not all of these people in the underworld can be trusted.
Secondly, these martial arts masters may be being watched by someone, and any unusual movement will definitely alert the enemy.
So, she planned to act on her own, and after the fight, she would pack up these followers of the Xingsha Cult and hand them over to the government.
Today she heard Qiu Li say that the imperial court was also cracking down on cults, and it cost ten taels of silver per person. If it was a high-ranking cult member, it would be even more expensive!
At night, the city was quiet.
Xia Zui secretly took the bamboo dragonfly and flew high into the sky, slowly leaving the city.
——
"When it comes to practicing martial arts, it depends on your aptitude. You two were able to survive from the hands of the Xingsha Sect, so you must have extraordinary aptitude," Wangsheng continued to chatter.
Perhaps it was because no one had spoken to him for a long time, it was a miracle that he could still speak.
"I don't think I can get out, so I might as well teach you the secret book I found before I die."
Xi Qing's sleepiness disappeared immediately after hearing this. "Really?"
"What kind of secret book is that?"
Isn’t this person afraid that they are undercover agents?
As if he had heard Xi Qing's thoughts, Wang Sheng said, "I can tell whether a person is good or bad."
"You two are kind-hearted by nature. Teaching you is the last thing I can leave in this world."
"I don't have many longevity skills left."
"Teaching here? Aren't you afraid that someone outside might overhear?" Bie Yinian said.
"Oh," Wangsheng said, "There's no one outside, don't worry."
"My secret manual is called the Polo Heart Method. I will orally narrate it to you two. Please listen carefully."
[Pineapple……]
[That doesn't sound like a serious philosophy.]
[The point is not whether what this person said is true or false. If it is false, then the mental method is probably false as well.]
[Or maybe you should just stop learning it. Be careful not to get carried away.]
[The tour guide is coming soon, why don’t you wait a little longer?]
Xi Qing was stunned. "The tour guide is coming with a large group?"
"Old man, don't worry, maybe you don't have to die."
Wangsheng, who had just started, asked, "What tour guide?"
These two people are unwilling to learn his mental method?
Although Wangsheng didn't understand what "tour guide" meant, he could feel the joy of Xi Qing and Bie Yinian.
He sighed and said, "I found this Polo Heart Sutra by chance at the bottom of the cliff. If I hadn't been imprisoned, I would never have passed it on to anyone else."
"Are you two really unwilling to continue listening?"
Xi Qing and Bie Yinian looked at each other and asked, "How about learning it?"
It would be a waste not to learn it anyway. At worst, I can memorize it first and then find a tour guide later to see if I can learn it well.
“Let’s learn!”
Wangsheng then slowly explained the essence of the Polo Heart Method. Although his voice was hoarse, every word he spoke was very clear.
As they listened, they almost fell asleep.
But it doesn’t seem to matter, since there are replays in the live broadcast room, and there are so many viewers to help them remember.
At the same time, Xia Zui had quietly approached the Xingsha Cult's lair.
She uses the flying ability of a bamboo dragonfly to glide silently through the night sky.
She planned to find the five exits of the Xingsha Sect first. Who knew that the people of the Xingsha Sect were like rabbits digging holes, with exits everywhere.
After finding them all, Xia Zui curled his lips.
[Guide, why are you up late at night investigating the Xingsha Sect?]
[Damn, they really are a cunning rabbit with three burrows.]
[That's not how the word is used. Speaking of which, guide, you're not planning on destroying the Xingsha Sect on your own, are you?]
"Why don't you invite tourists? It's so fun, we want to join in too."
[Shh, keep your voices down so the people from the Xingsha Cult don't hear you.]
Deep in the cave, the followers of the Star Evil Cult had no idea that their lair had been discovered.
They were plotting the martial arts competition for the next day, but they didn't know that one person had already surrounded thousands of them!
Meanwhile, in Sifang City, Gongsun Wu was also busy preparing for the martial arts competition.
They knew that this martial arts competition might not go so smoothly, and they secretly strengthened the security in the city to prevent a sudden attack from the Xingsha Cult.
Xia Zui, still high in the sky, suddenly spoke, "Can you please go to Sunny Baby's livestream and tell them that if they encounter anyone without the word 'bad guy' above their heads, please attack them so they too can have a golden body."
“Then run out.”
[But they were tied up!]
[Guide, you're not really planning to attack the Xingsha Sect at night, are you?]
[Oh my god, I quickly woke up my family to watch the live broadcast.]
"Guide, what exactly do you want to do? Can you tell us first so we can be mentally prepared?"
Xia Zui smiled and said, "The live broadcast ball can help them open the chains."
"As for what I plan to do..."
"Dinosaurs vs. the evil cult?"
[? ? ? ? ?]
[I must be half asleep, I'm still dreaming, right?]
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Xia Zui: Back then, I single-handedly surrounded a cult organization of nearly a thousand people.
Dinosaur: Quack, quack.
