Chapter 886 Adjustment
In an underground hall, there is a long table in the middle, which is a full five feet long and one foot wide. Except for a seat in the middle where only one person sits, the rest of the people sit on both sides, a total of fifteen people.
The fifteen people present here are both men and women, with different appearances and different costumes, but one thing is the same, that is, the faces of these fifteen people are extremely pale, that kind of sickly white. And if you observe carefully, you can find that there is an imperceptible scarlet in the fundus of both eyes of these people.
The atmosphere in the hall was very dull, it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard, only the sound of rustling paper.
The person who was sitting alone was holding a book in his hand and was reading it carefully. He read it word by word and took a long time to finish. When you close the booklet, you can see the words on the cover of the booklet: "First Report of the Yamen Commander of the Black Banner Battalion in Fengri City".
This person's age is unclear, and it seems correct to say that he is in his seventies or eighties, because he has silver hair, a face as pale as paper, and his breath is dull, giving people a feeling of dying.
But this person is very weird, his skin is very shiny, and even his facial features are plump. He doesn't look like an old man with loose skin at all, but looks like a young man. There is a thin red line standing up an inch between the eyebrows, which is extremely eye-catching.
And those hands, like dead branches, are slender and covered with horny wrinkled skin, which makes people feel disgusted when they look at them.
"How's the situation at Vertical Cut Mountain? Where's the manpower? Are you back?"
The person sitting at the top put down the book at hand, frowned slightly, glanced at the people on the long table, and finally settled on the fourth person counted down on his right.
"Returning to the words of the great lord, the vertical cut mountain has been surrounded by people from the Jingxi Black Flag Camp. They are now digging the mountain, and they should be looking for traces of the "nest". The people who evacuated in advance are currently in the backup station Avoid the limelight. At present, there is no contact with Xuan Qingwei's people, and the relevant warnings and situation explanations have been sent back, and they are in your hands."
Before he finished speaking, Kuteng, known as the "Great Venerable", shook his head and interrupted: "You don't need to repeat what is mentioned above." While talking, he clapped the book next to his hand, He added: "So they won't come back for the time being?"
"Yes, my lord. At present, not only the vertical cut mountain is under martial law, but all the major transportation hubs in Jingxi are also under martial law. Every day, there are soldiers from the Black Banner Battalion, Xuanqing Guards, and garrison soldiers holding induction plates. In terms of the teleportation circle, not even a fly can fly through it. So after they evacuated from the "nest" of Vertical Cut Mountain, they hid in the backup station, and after the limelight passed, they tried to find a way to return to the Holy Gate."
"I remember that the first envoy in the "nest" in Shuqie Mountain is someone under your sect, right? Nine Venerables?" After the Great Venerable asked, he looked at another person, his tone unchanged, but everyone present could feel that It seemed to be a bit colder in the hall.
"Yes, my lord, Xiao Peng, the number one envoy in the "nest" of Shuqie Mountain, is just a member of his subordinate sect. He usually has a lot of strategy and sense of proportion, and has good potential and understanding, so he was recommended by his subordinates. As the number one emissary of the "Nest" of Shuche Mountain, the subordinates never expected that he would make such a big mistake this time, and he must be blamed for death! I also ask the Great Venerable to punish him severely according to the rules of the holy gate. Please punish me to punish my subordinates for their incompetent teaching!"
While speaking, the Nine Venerables stood up from their seats, knelt on one knee and raised their voices to plead guilty. A look of admitting punishment.
This side admits the mistake and accepts the punishment, but the great venerable did not continue this topic. What he wants is the attitude of the people below. The specific results are not available right now, and there is no need to be in such a hurry. Everything will be settled after the matter is settled.
He waved his withered vine-like hand, and said another way: "People, you must bring it back first. At least that Xiao Peng must come back as soon as possible. The rest of the people can hide in the backup station and wait for the wind to pass." After a pause, the great venerable pointed to the nine venerables who were still kneeling on the ground and the previous eight venerables and continued: "Your people, you go and bring them back yourself. I want to live."
The two said yes in unison.
"There is one more thing. The Black Flag Battalion went straight to the "nest" of Shuqie Mountain, which shows that they were finally caught alive in that ridiculous siege and pried their mouths open. Even the "nest" If all the positions are recruited, then other matters will no longer be kept secret. In Xuan Qingwei's words, it is "leaked" by the trial.
To be honest, this is the first time this has happened in Holy Gate. "
Preventing the eight venerables in charge of vertical cutting mountain from speaking, the great venerable continued: "I know you want to explain, and I also believe in the words of the people in the holy gate and their ability to face torture. But what if the opponent's means wins this time?" gone?"
The words of the great venerable were like pouring ice water, and the hearts of all the people present trembled. It's not that they haven't thought about this possibility, but they just don't want to bring it up first. After all, this is definitely extremely bad news for the Holy Gate.
Without fear of torture, the Holy Gate, whose core secrets have not been grasped by Xuan Qingwei for a long time, really relies on "hard spirit"? They are all from the holy gate, who is more "tough" than the other?
Rather than saying it is "hard spirit", it is better to use the words of the great venerable just now: means.
The monks of the Holy Gate rely on secret techniques to turn their physical bodies into real stinky skins. The torture of the physical body will not bring pain to the monks of the Holy Gate, on the contrary, it will also bring some spiritual "pleasure". If you don't feel pain, you will naturally appear "hard".
And apart from the physical body, the only thing left is the soul. But the monks of the Holy Gate are playing with the means of the soul, and it is undoubtedly a joke to use the soul to torture the monks of the Holy Gate. Even with locks, talismans, and other means of locking the soul, the soul itself will not be stripped. As long as it is not stripped, the monks of the Holy Gate have their own ways to split the soul in response to pain, and continue to make themselves look "hard".
When thinking that Xuan Qingwei now has the means to circumvent or undo the "hard spirit" that the monks of the Holy Gate are proud of, everyone's face is calm, but their hearts still twitch. Soul torture! That is a punishment dozens of times more painful than physical torture. Who can bear it? It's normal to be unbearable, right?
"These need to be further investigated to find out. You can let them go for a while, and tell the monks in other places to avoid them as soon as they can. Don't give Xuan Qingwei a chance to live, otherwise it will be too late to regret if life is worse than death." .
The most urgent task now is to discuss a countermeasure. Respond to the so-called "evil killing plan" currently being implemented by the Black Flag Camp. Everyone should have seen the viciousness of this plan, right? Can there be any countermeasures? "
"Kill the person surnamed Shen?" Immediately, someone expressed his opinion. If you can't think of a solution to the problem, then get rid of the person who caused the problem. Simple and straightforward.
"It's useless. After Xiao Peng did this, Xuan Qingwei already understood that their plan threatened our life, and he must have made up his mind to vigorously promote it. At this time, the surname Shen is insignificant. You kill him and change the plan." It’s the same for individuals to push this matter.”
