Chapter 449 Encounter in Vientiane City
Song Kingdom, the easternmost country among the seven kingdoms in the world, has three major forces controlling the national destiny of the Song Kingdom, namely the Lingxiao Pavilion, the Blood God Palace, and the Tiantian Palace.
It's not that Wanshoumen doesn't want to control the Song Kingdom, but that the three major sects such as Lingxiaoge don't allow it. Fortunately, Wanshoumen has strong financial resources and can obtain enough cultivation resources without relying on others.
The Spiritual Beast Club is a grand event held by the Wanshoumen every ten years. The purpose is to show the spiritual beasts newly domesticated by the Wanshoumen in the past ten years to the practice community, paving the way for the official launch of the sale.
For such a grand event, some people came to support the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and some came to see the excitement and gain insight.
At this time, the Vientiane City under the Wanshoumen Mountain will gradually become lively.
Vientiane City is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the area of Wanshoumen, and has its own rules. It is usually very deserted, and only the secular people under the command of Wanshoumen live. For example, the descendants of the disciples in the sect multiply here.
At this time, guests from all over the world come, and these secular people open the door to do business, which can be regarded as greeting guests from all over the world for Wanshoumen. As for the real distinguished guests, Wanshoumen has its own courtyard to entertain guests.
The reason why it is called Vientiane City is because there are many sculptures standing in the city, all of which are birds and beasts in "The Record of Strange Beasts", all over the city, lifelike, and more realistic than the ones on the map.
These sculptures are also displayed for outside guests, or for comparison and reference. After all, there is a gap between the painting on the map and the real thing, and people who don't know how to do it are easy to get distracted. Wanshoumen specially built these sculptures for this purpose. The power of a sect is limited, and they hope to use the power of the monks in the world to recruit rare birds and beasts for breeding.
Whoever finds the strange birds and beasts corresponding to the sculptures and sends them to Wanshoumen, Wanshoumen will definitely reward them with great rewards.
Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect uses this as a means to expand the source of income for the faction, but from a certain point of view, some strange birds and beasts that were about to become extinct were also expanded by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to avoid extinction...
On the streets of Vientiane City, Niu Youdao and his party, who have just arrived, sit on horseback and look around, looking around at the sculptures standing in the city. It is rare to see this kind of city for the first time.
"Master Dao, someone is watching us from behind." Yuan Gang drove his horse close to Niu Youdao, and reminded him in a low voice.
Niu Youdao, who was slowly swaying on the horse's back, remained calm and did not look back. He believed in Yuan Gang's investigative vision. Since Yuan Gang said that someone was following him, there must be one. Don't doubt it. He asked casually, "What's the situation?" ?”
Yuan Gang: "I don't know. As soon as we entered the city, they followed us and followed us all the time, without any other actions."
Niu Youdao didn't say anything else, pretending nothing happened, he just tilted his head and signaled to Guan Fangyi, "Take a look at the situation."
Guan Fangyi nodded slightly and gestured left and right.
When the street turned a corner, Chen Bo and Xu Laoliu took the opportunity to break away from the team and turned into an alley.
Not long after, Xu Laoliu came to catch up with Niu Youdao again, and reported: "Master Dao, people are under control."
Niu Youdao turned his mounts smoothly, and the group turned around and returned to the alley, only to see Uncle Chen put one hand on a person's shoulder, making that person unable to move.
Niu Youdao drove his horse to a stop, sat on the horse's back and pointed his whip condescendingly, and Uncle Chen immediately tore off the disguise on the man's face.
Seeing the man's true face, Yuan Gang was stunned for a moment, while Niu Youdao frowned.
It was none other than Wei Duo of Shang Qingzong who was controlled.
"What are you doing here?" Niu Youdao asked in a deep voice.
Wei Duo groaned twice and was restrained, unable to answer.
Niu Youdao said to Chen Bo: "It's okay, let's untie it!"
Uncle Chen released the restraint on Wei Duo, and let go of it.
Wei Duo immediately clasped his hands and saluted, "Palm..." Halfway through his words, thinking that Niu Youdao hated him calling the master the most, he immediately changed his words, "Dao... Master Dao!"
Niu Youdao asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Duo: "Looking for you!"
Niu Youdao frowned, moved his mouth slightly, glanced at Guan Fangyi and the others behind him, swallowed the words again, turned his mount, and said coldly, "Get out!"
Just like that, the group went out of the alley again, leaving the lonely Wei Duo behind.
Guan Fangyi rode forward, wondering, "Who is it?"
Niu Youdao didn't answer, and reined in his horse to stop again. Guan Fangyi followed his gaze and looked forward, only to see a graceful woman leading several people to stop in front.
Like Wei Duo, these people obviously wore masks, none other than Tang Yi and others from the Shang Qingzong.
Wei Duo, who came out of the alley, stood behind the horse team and nodded to Tang Yi and the others in front, indicating that it was Niu Youdao and the others.
Because Niu Youdao and others also disguised themselves.
After Shang Qingzong's manpower rushed to Vientiane City, it was determined that Niu Youdao would definitely settle in Vientiane City, so he immediately sent out his men to find or wait for rabbits in Vientiane City. Wei Duo happened to meet Niu Youdao and his party .
Others may not recognize it, but Wei Duo knew Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang, especially Yuan Gang's handsome figure, Wei Duo recognized it at a glance, and immediately asked his colleagues to report to Tang Yi and others, while he followed, So there was the scene in front of me.
Niu Youdao on the horseback looked back at Wei Duo's reaction, then looked back at the people blocking the front, and gradually made a judgment from the figures of Tang Yi and the others, realizing that it was the Shang Qingzong gang people.
Guan Fangyi put her hand into her sleeve calmly and pinched the talisman.
Uncle Chen and the others held the weapons in their hands, not knowing who was blocking the way. Although there are rules of Wanshoumen in Vientiane City, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.
The Fufangyuan group couldn't tell that the person blocking the way was Shang Qingzong and others who had entanglements with Niu Youdao, so they naturally maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Tang Yi obviously also saw that something was wrong, raised her hand slightly, and walked aside to avoid any misunderstanding.
The people of Shang Qingzong also stepped aside.
Niu Youdao tapped the horse's belly with his heels, and without squinting, he walked past Shang Qingzong and the others at a leisurely pace.
Wei Duo, Tang Yi and the others met together, and then followed behind Niu Youdao and the others.
A few people in Fufangyuan felt that the situation in front of them was a bit strange, and they looked back at the people behind them from time to time.
"Who is it?" Guan Fangyi rode forward, approached Niu Youdao and asked.
Niu Youdao remained silent, and Guan Fangyi rolled his eyes, knowing that if this guy didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to ask anything if he followed up.
The party stopped at an inn and stayed there.
Not far away, a person who was also easy to tolerate was standing under the eaves, staring at Tang Yi and the others who followed into the inn, his eyes flickering and suspicious.
This person is Lu Shengzhong sent by Shao Pingbo.
He traced the route of Tang Yi and the others all the way, followed to Vientiane City, and followed the place where Tang Yi and the others settled down, so he knew exactly who Tang Yi and the others were after the disguise.
As soon as Tang Yi and the others left the inn this time, he followed him again, only to find that Tang Yi met Niu Youdao and the others.
Like Wei Duo, he had also been in contact with Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang before, and recognized Yuan Gang at a glance, and then judged that Niu Youdao was the leader.
This surprised him, he didn't expect that Tang Yi went straight here to find Niu Youdao.
For Niu Youdao, Lu Shengzhong was afraid, knowing that this man's methods were not weaker than that eldest son's. In addition, in recent years, he has heard some deeds of Niu Youdao, which made him more and more afraid. Knowing that this is an extremely dangerous person, he kept a high degree of caution, otherwise he would accidentally fall into the hands of the other party.
How did he follow Shao Pingbo? I know that he betrayed his teacher and Niu Youdao, which is no different from surrendering to the enemy. Once he falls into Niu Youdao's hands, the end can be imagined...
In the corridor of the inn, the clerk opened the door and accompanied Niu Youdao into the room.
After the clerk courteously left the room, Xu Lao Liu knocked on the door and entered, reporting: "Master Dao, someone is looking for him, and he claims to be the head of the Qing sect!" While saying this, he secretly watched Niu Youdao's reaction.
He has also heard some legends about Niu Youdao and the head of the Shangqing sect.
Guan Fangyi, who was looking around in the room, was stunned, and slowly turned her head to look at Niu Youdao, a little surprised, her bright eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth gradually showed evil humor. She had heard about Niu Youdao's relationship with that woman from Shang Qingzong for a long time, and she had always been curious, but she didn't expect to come. This time, she really wanted to meet what kind of person it was.
The sword in his hand slowly hit the floor, and Niu Youdao said "hmm" calmly.
Xu Laoliu went out immediately, and soon led three people in, Tang Yi, Luo Yuangong and Su Po. As for Tang Susu, she didn't come, she didn't want to see Niu Youdao, and Tang Yi and others were afraid that she wouldn't be able to deal with bad things, so they asked Tang Susu to stay in the town.
The three of them looked at Niu Youdao's signature way of standing with a sword. Tang Yi took the lead to take off the skin on his face, revealing his beautiful face. His bright eyes looked at Niu Youdao, and from the corner of his eye he went to Niu Youdao's side one after another. Guan Fangyi glanced at him a few times.
Luo Yuangong and Su Po followed him, and also tore off the camouflage on their faces one after another.
Goodbye to Niu Youdao, the mood of the two of them is extremely complicated, they are no longer the mentality of facing junior disciples as elders in the past, and there is no condescending momentum.
Unexpectedly, she is still a big beauty! Guan Fangyi muttered something in her heart, subconsciously put her arms on her chest, and looked up and down Tang Yi, a little picky.
Niu Youdao calmly said: "The three of you haven't seen each other for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet here. I wonder what the three of you are looking for?"
The three people on the opposite side could hear that his slightly youthful voice had matured, matching his demeanor, and becoming more elegant.
Not waiting for Niu Youdao to reveal his true face, Tang Yi could only answer: "After all, you are still a disciple of the Shang Qing Sect, come back! For you, the head of the sect is waiting for you at any time."
Hearing this, Niu Youdao felt bored, he naturally knew why he was pulled back, Shang Qingzong couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to pull him back to stand out on his behalf. Immediately refused politely: "I have already made it clear that I have nothing to do with Shang Qingzong. It's all over and there is no need to mention it. Is there anything else?"
Tang Yi: "Could it be that you don't read Master Dong Guo's kindness at all?"
Niu Youdao raised his sword and turned around, the sword struck the ground again, and swung his back to his big sleeve, "Matchmaker, see off my guest!"
Being treated like this, Tang Yi also realized that it seemed a little too hasty, and she didn't resist Guan Fangyi's forced see-off, so she had to leave temporarily.
There was no one else in the room for the time being, Niu Youdao squinted at Yuan Gang, "Contact Beizhou and ask when they left Beizhou."
After following Niu Youdao for many years, Yuan Gang immediately sensed something from his words. He was keeping a secret, but was blocked by Shang Qingzong, which already aroused the suspicion of the Taoist priest, and he understood that the Taoist priest had deliberately dismissed him just now. Guan Fangyi nodded and turned away.
