Chapter 447 Trading
Chapter 447 Trading
There were only three people on the opposite side who could still move freely, and the one who was hit into the mountain wall could not climb out for a while.
The one lying on the ground couldn't stand up for a while.
The three of them looked at each other, but didn't know what to do.
The good news is that the person who came was not who they thought...the bad news is that they seemed to have no way out.
A sigh was heard, and one of them suddenly sat down on the ground:
“At this point, there’s nothing much to say.
“If we fail today, I will die in his hands if not yours.
"If we don't tell you, we won't be able to survive. If we tell you, at least we can give him some trouble."
"Second brother..."
The red-haired man couldn't help but glance at him when he heard that, but in the end he could only sigh:
“【Five Ghosts Corpse Order】is a martial art.
"It was created by Li Juechen, the Martial Emperor among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the First Dao Master...
"The power is earth-shattering. Once you have mastered it, you will be invulnerable to swords and spears, and you will not be killed by earth, water or fire.
"It almost has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth!!"
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at Shopkeeper Song.
Shopkeeper Song responded to his gaze with a bewildered look.
Zhang Mo listened to Wu Ding's yelling and cursing, and suddenly felt that it was a bit noisy... Should he stop him from yelling? His voice must be hoarse.
But I couldn't help but want to hear what the other side was saying.
The matter actually involved Emperor Wu Li Juechen! ?
As he was thinking, Chu Qing's eyes suddenly fell on him:
"Martial Emperor Li Juechen, has he ever visited your First Dao?"
"Never."
Zhang Mo didn't even think about it, at least he had never heard of it.
Chu Qing did not comment, but just said to the three people:
"continue."
The red-haired man thought for a moment and said:
“We have never seen the real [Five Ghosts Corpse Order], we have only heard about it.
"What we are practicing... is the extension of the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Order], the [Cold Corpse Record], the [Wood Corpse Art], the [Fire Corpse Chapter], the [Remnant Corpse Seal], and the [Ghost Corpse Way].
“These five martial arts are extremely cruel, turning the practitioners into neither human nor ghost.
“As your merits and deeds become deeper, you will be more susceptible to being controlled by the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Order].
“Li Juechen can use the [Five Ghosts Corpse Order] to turn us into ashes in a single thought.
“Therefore, no one dared to resist.”
When he said this, his eyes sparkled with a different light, and he spoke with some difficulty:
“The five of us…some are just ordinary people, children of hunters.
“There are also disciples from famous sects who should have a bright future.
“But ordinary people can’t protect themselves. If they are told to be taken away, they are taken away, and no one can resist.
"Even if it's a famous sect, how can it control the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
“Once the Emperor Wu issued an order, no one would refute it. Who would have thought that… the so-called demon-slaying mission was actually to kill the Emperor Wu himself?
"Faced with such an opponent, no matter how outstanding a disciple is, what can he do?
"Some of us were deceived. He said that the martial arts he taught were his unique skills that he never taught to others. We had to practice diligently and no one would doubt it.
“Others… were captured and tied up.
“I watched helplessly as other people who were also captured had their arms cut off and were roasted in the fire.
"Some were disemboweled, saying they wanted to see how the internal energy circulated in the meridians when the person was practicing...
"To be honest, we are lucky to be alive today."
Their words reminded Chu Qing of the man in Wanbao Tower who took the Jade Buddha of Vairocana in exchange for martial arts secrets and asked someone to kill the Emperor Wu.
There are some correspondences between the two.
The red-haired man fell silent when he said this.
Chu Qing looked up at him:
"Any more?"
"No more. This is all we know about these martial arts."
The red-haired man shook his head.
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
“This is not right… You said that the [Five Ghosts Corpse Order] was created by Li Juechen and the Dao Masters together.
“However, the first Dao master disappeared more than a decade ago.
“From what you guys said earlier, I think the Taoist Master’s disappearance was caused by Li Juechen, who even put a [Three Yang Soul Locking Order] in his mind.
“But from your description and the clues I have obtained now, the martial arts you practice are not yet perfect.
“If Li Juechen and the Taoist master had created this martial art more than a decade ago, why would they have to capture people and conduct various experiments?
“This doesn’t make sense… Where did you get this information from?
“How many people know about this?”
"This……"
The red-haired man said:
"This matter has been circulated carefully among us, and many people know about it."
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
“You are most likely being deceived.
"Li Juechen is the current Martial Emperor, which shows that he is an extraordinary person.
"Just as you said, you are nothing but insects in his hands. How can this news spread like this without being known by Li Juechen? Do you think this is reliable?
"I think this may be his idea."
"This……"
The one who gave up resistance first among the three couldn't help but speak:
"How is it possible? Why would he do that?"
Chu Qing looked at the man as if he were a fool.
Then Zhang Momomo spoke:
“Because there are benefits… and there are a lot of benefits.
“It can give dying people hope and prevent them from committing suicide so easily.
“It will allow you to look for our Dao Master more attentively.
“It will allow him to see how many people have rebellious hearts.
"Even after we found the Dao Master, countless of you fought over him...
"Once the water in the pond is muddy, it will be easy for him to do anything he wants."
Zhang Mo's words seemed to make people fall into despair even more easily.
The three people opposite, even those lying on the ground or embedded in the stone wall, all fell silent.
Chu Qing did not continue to speak, but was still thinking in his heart.
These people were not lying, Chu Qing could tell that.
So, that incident back then was indeed done by Li Juechen... But to say that the two of them created the [Five Ghosts Corpse Order] together, that's nonsense.
But even if he didn't have the [Five Ghosts Corpse Order], Li Juechen must have gotten something from the Taoist master.
But what it is exactly is unknown.
However, the answer to this question should be in Shopkeeper Song's mind.
Chu Qing glanced at him, and Shopkeeper Song noticed it, his eyes inevitably had a complicated look.
He was not stupid, so he knew very well that he would never have peace in the future.
Chu Qing helped me in these two crises, but what about the future?
I was caught this time, but I was lucky because the people who caught me just wanted the [Five Ghosts Corpse Order].
But what if the person who captured me was not after the [Five Ghosts Corpse Order], but wanted to kill me like that person that night?
What should I do?
Recovering his memory... He was afraid of losing everything he had now.
But if he doesn't recover his memory, it seems that he will not be able to keep everything he has now.
Chu Qing knew the struggle in his heart, and also knew that he actually had no way out, so he did not dwell on this matter, but looked at the three people opposite him and continued to ask:
"Let's talk about... the Mirror of Evil."
The red-haired man seemed to have guessed that Chu Qing would ask this question, and he said without thinking:
“We don’t know everything about the Mirror of Evil.
“Starting about seven or eight years ago, some of us were assigned to the Niejingtai to help with work.
“Sometimes I help kill the target, sometimes I help hunt down the assassin who has escaped, and sometimes I sit in a certain place and even help transport huge amounts of gold and silver.
"It seems... that since seven or eight years ago, the Mirror of Evil has belonged to Li Juechen."
"In other words, the Evil Mirror Platform was not originally owned by Li Juechen?"
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you know... where the headquarters of the Evil Mirror Platform is?"
"I don't know."
The red-haired man shook his head:
“But we know that on the fifth day of October every year, there will be a gathering at Niejingtai.
"By then, the Evil Slaying List, the Judge's Pen of the Book of Life and Death, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Platform, and the current Mirror of Sin Platform will all be present."
Chu Qing's heart trembled slightly.
The people on the Evil-Slaying List are killers, a total of seventy-two people, and it is called the Seventy-two Evil-Slaying List. This is a cliché.
Chu Qing has no idea how many people he has killed... but they are not on the list, and the killing is still ongoing.
The Judge's Pen of the Book of Life and Death mainly talks about contacts.
The judge is writing, death is approaching!
They assign targets and the killers carry out the tasks. It's a complete system.
As for the Six Paths of Reincarnation Platform, it is a master who is ranked on the Evil-Slaying List.
There were only six people in total.
If we say that every master on the Demon-Slaying List can dominate a place and stand on his own.
Each of the six masters of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Platform can become a local hero and create a century-long achievement.
This is the true essence of the Nie Jingtai.
As for the Mirror Master...he is the leader of the Niejingtai.
This person is extremely mysterious. No one knows his martial arts skills, his personality, or even whether he is a man or a woman.
Based on what we know so far, this person is either Li Juechen, or... has already surrendered to Li Juechen.
"October 5th..."
Chu Qing exhaled lightly:
"Do you know where they will gather?"
The red-haired man smiled bitterly and shook his head:
“The venue is different every year.
"Maybe it's a barren mountain, maybe it's an uninhabited town...
“Often the news is released to the participants three months before the meeting.
“The time has not come yet, and no one knows where it is.
"Besides, we didn't need anyone to attend the meeting. We just heard about it afterwards."
"That means we can get the news in July?"
Chu Qing looked at the five people opposite him and smiled slightly:
"Last question, do you want to live or die?"
The red-haired man laughed bitterly:
“Even if you want to live, you probably won’t be able to.
“You’ve already said that what we did may not be a secret.
"If he finds out, we'll all die."
"Then let's take a gamble."
Chu Qing said:
"We will all keep our mouths shut about what happened tonight, and no one will reveal a single detail.
"Those of you who should leave should leave, and those of us who should return should return, and we should just pretend that nothing happened.
"If you are lucky enough to survive, how about we make a deal?"
"You want to know where the Niejingtai gathering is?"
The red man looked at Chu Qing:
"But what can we gain?"
"A possibility to survive."
Chu Qing said softly:
"【Five Ghosts Corpse Order】."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the five people opposite, including the one who was unable to move, changed slightly.
The red-haired man made a prompt decision:
"Okay, if we don't die, we will help you find out the news at the right time."
Chu Qing chuckled:
"Then it's a deal."
At this point, the expressions of the five people opposite suddenly froze.
Zhang Mo was stunned and subconsciously looked behind him, but found nothing.
Why did their expressions change?
The whole scene suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Apart from Wu Ding's constant shouting and cursing, no other sound was heard.
Suddenly, Chu Qing turned around:
"let's go."
Zhang Mo subconsciously looked into Chu Qing's eyes. At this moment, he felt dizzy, as if he was trapped in endless clouds.
The whole person was almost annihilated in his eyes.
Suddenly, I was startled and came back to my senses:
"you……"
"Shhh."
Chu Qing stretched out a finger:
“I dispelled their thoughts of continuing to cling to the [Five Ghosts Corpse Order] and hid the memory of tonight.
"Don't disturb them now. I estimate that they will regain consciousness in another stick of incense.
"Now, let's get out of here."
His words were not difficult to understand, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on Zhang Mo's forehead.
He could already understand why Bai Sheng would give the jade token to this person...
He should have a way to help the Taoist master unlock the [Three Yang Soul Locking Order]!
The group then left the cave, taking away Wu Ding who was still shouting and cursing.
When Wu Ding saw them, he felt as if he had been pardoned.
He was almost shouting until his voice was hoarse, and when he saw a few people, he almost cried:
"You are finally back...
"Master, are you alright?"
Zhang Mo didn't answer him, but just gave him a look.
After walking out of the cave, Shopkeeper Song suddenly stopped, looked at the two people behind him, and then said to Chu Qing:
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"You said."
“If I regain my memory, I will be a cold-blooded, heartless, and inhuman bastard.
"Then can you... kill me?"
"Daoist!"
"No!"
Wu Ding was only worried about Manager Song's decision, but Zhang Mo was really anxious.
Although Chu Qing had not shown too many abilities in front of him, he knew that this man was absolutely unfathomable and he really had the ability to kill the Taoist master!
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows slightly:
"seriously?"
"Forget it, I still don't want to die."
Shopkeeper Song shook his head and asked Zhang Mo and Wu Ding:
"Have you any money?"
"Have!"
The two people said in unison.
"I want one thousand taels of silver. If I am a bastard after I regain my memory, this one thousand taels will be enough for the orphans and widows to live on."
He turned and looked at Chu Qing:
"But if I still remember the 1,000 taels and even want to get it back, then please kill me!"
Chu Qing looked at him seriously and nodded.
"it is good!"
