A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1167

[Chapter 1157 Shunfeng Er]

Qi Ning did not deny it, and said sternly: “On the way to Cangxi, although I am not sure that Da Wu is the mastermind behind the scenes, I do have 60-70% doubts.”

“Your suspicions are not unreasonable.” The great witch’s voice was calm: “As the great witch of the Miao family, it can indeed make many people in Xichuan willing to obey.”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “That’s right, and the most important thing is that my trip to Cangxi was not on a whim, but someone carefully set up a trap, leading to misfortune, to testify that the Great Witch might be the real murderer behind the scenes, and to testify against it. It’s hard for me to doubt it.”

Having said this, Qi Ning glanced at Xiang Baiying, and seeing that Xiang Baiying remained calm, he continued: “As the great witch said, the Miao family lives in one place and inherits it from generation to generation. The peace of the people is my responsibility, so when I came to Cangxi this time, I did not plan to negotiate directly with the great witch, but I took the trouble to discuss it with the helper and the great witch.”

“Are you trying to avoid a direct conflict between the imperial court and the Miao family?” The Miao family witch’s voice was soft: “Xiang gang leader is a person in the rivers and lakes. It is indeed more appropriate for him to come to see me.”

Qi Ning said: “What I mean to the gang leader and me, no matter whether Da Wu is the mastermind behind the scenes or not, we should explain some of our interests to Da Wu. If the Miao Family Seventy-two Caves are really involved in the crime of conspiracy, they will surely face An unprecedented catastrophe is naturally a disaster for the Miao family’s 72nd cave, and it is also an immeasurable catastrophe for the entire Chu country.”

“Then are you still going to say that to me now?”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “I understand one thing, if the Great Witch is the mastermind behind the scenes, and I must die in Xishan, I will never be able to leave the Riyue Peak alive for half a step.” Word by word: “So I can now be sure that the great witch is not the mastermind behind the scenes. From the beginning, this was a trap, and their purpose was to provoke a fight between the Miao family and the imperial court.”

The opposite side was silent for a moment, and finally said: “The mastermind behind the scenes you mentioned is naturally someone else.”

“That man is mysterious and mysterious. I only know that he is called Jizo. He has indeed gathered a group of evil demons, and his power is far more than Xichuan.” Qi Ning sighed: “This man has great powers, and his power not only It’s so big and so wide, I even think that his people may have already penetrated into the government and even the imperial court.”

The great witch said: “You said that he wanted to provoke the Miao family to confront the imperial court. Do you want to understand why you said Ksitigarbha did this?”

“What is the purpose, I can’t be sure, but there are many possibilities.” Qi Ning said: “What this person did is not just to make Xichuan turbulent, his purpose is probably to make the entire Chu country into turmoil. , once the state of Chu is in turmoil, it will be beneficial to many forces, and the Northern Han will bear the brunt, so I thought that Ksitigarbha might have something to do with the Northern Han. Although Da Chu has been a state for many years, the north is not peaceful, and it is even in the territory of the state of Chu. Many forces have not really surrendered to the court. The East China Sea has the remnants of the old family, and Xichuan also has the forces of Li Hongxin, the king of Shu. Although these forces have all surrendered to the court on the surface, they are always looking for opportunities to conspire to disrupt the country. Zang has a very clear view of the general trend of the world, and he knows who should be drawn if he wants to become an enemy of the imperial court.”

The great witch finally said: “The Miao family doesn’t care about the disputes in the world. As long as the court can keep the Miao family’s seventy-two holes full of food and clothing, the Miao family will live on this land with peace of mind, and will never have anything to do with the court. It’s a bit of a dilemma. The forces of Northern Han, Eastern Qi, or the Eastern Sea and the King of Shu that the court cares about are not the Miao family who are willing to care.”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, “The Great Witch is saying that even if Ksitigarbha used the seventy-two holes of the Miao family, you wouldn’t take it to heart?”

“I understand what you mean.” Dawu said: “Although the Miao family has a simple temperament, it is not impossible to distinguish right from wrong. It is not so easy for someone to use the Miao family to cause chaos. But what happened today is indeed something I did not expect. After a slight pause, he said, “The former King Damiao was murdered,

Langchadulu and Dandugu brothers fought, and that incident did not happen by chance. If Langchadulu had no one behind his back, he would not dare to attack King Damiao.

”

Qi Ning said, “The Great Witch… Could it be that he has been investigating that matter?”

“The murder of King Miao is related to the safety of the seventy-two caves of the Miao family.” Da Wu said, “Although the Miao family is gentle in nature and does not like to fight, not all the Miao family are like this. From ancient times to the present, every ethnic group has Some ambitious people appear, and for their own ambitions, under the banner of righteousness, they will cause the world to fall into turmoil, and even bring their own ethnic group into a situation of doom.”

Qi Ning opened his mouth slightly, but did not say anything. Xiang Baiying stood by the side, and did not speak from the beginning to the end.

“Although the seventy-two caves of the Miao family are located in various parts of Xichuan, and there are contradictions among many stockades, they can advance and retreat together in the event of a disaster.” Dawu’s voice was like a calm lake from beginning to end, calm but gentle. Gentle: “We can thrive in the land of Xichuan, and that’s how we survive.”

Qi Ning said solemnly, “Siblings share the same roots, help and love each other.”

“Exactly.” Da Wudao said, “But just a few months ago, there was an exception. Does Sir Qi still remember?”

The great witch called Qi Ning a lord, so naturally he already knew that Qi Ning was promoted to Duke Protector.

Qi Ning immediately said, “The Great Witch is talking about the Black Lotus Sect?”

The voice of the great witch came over: “The Black Lotus Sect is a Jianghu sect founded by the Miao family, and it has always been active in the western frontier. Although they have not done anything to harm the living beings, many of the Miao family’s rules have been followed by them. Destruction, so although the Black Lotus Sect is mostly Miao family, the Miao family 72 caves never regard them as their own. The Shenhou Mansion led the eight gangs and 16 factions to attack Chaowuling, and the Miao family 72 caves also There was no act of rashness.”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “The Black Lotus Sect does not abide by the rules of the Miao family, nor does it follow the laws of the imperial court.”

“But the world still regards the Black Lotus Sect as the power of the Miao family.” Da Wudao said, “If the Black Lotus Sect does something that hurts the world and even offends the imperial court, in the eyes of the world, it is not just what the Black Lotus Sect did, but even would It was regarded as the work of the Miao family.”

Qi Ning vaguely understood something and asked, “Da Wu, do you mean that Ksitigarbha is involved with the Black Lotus Sect?”

“The force you mentioned, Cangxi Miao Village had already noticed it a few years ago.” Da Wudao said, “But that group of people acted very closely, and they didn’t commit any harm to the world before. The details are not very clear.” He sighed faintly: “In the eyes of the Miao family, the great witch of the Miao family is like a god, but the great witch of the Miao family is only a mortal in the world, not a god, and cannot know everything in the world.”

Qi Ning sighed in his heart, thinking that it might not be a good thing for a person to be regarded as a god. In order to maintain mystery and majesty, the great witches of the Miao family lived in this deserted Riyue Peak. The status is lofty, but it is like being imprisoned in this mountain, it is not happy.

“The former King Miao was murdered, I once thought about whether the Black Lotus Sect was behind it.” The witch said slowly: “In the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, there are actually a few people who secretly cheated with the Black Lotus Sect. All he had to do was to protect the seventy-two caves of the Miao family from being bewitched by the Black Lotus Sect, so he had been sending people to keep an eye on the Black Lotus Sect, and he had always suspected that the forces in Xichuan were the backers of the Black Lotus Sect. ”

Xiang Baiying finally said: “So, Da Wu thinks that Jizo is the leader of the Black Lotus? The leader of the Black Lotus wants to use the strength of the Miao family to rebel in Xichuan?”

The great witch said: “Master Qi, you can report to the emperor, the Black Lotus Sect has nothing to do with Ksitigarbha, the Ksitigarbha is definitely not the Miao family, I can keep the Miao family including the Black Lotus Sect and will not have any changes to the court. Heart.”

Xiang Baiying frowned, “Why is the Great Witch so sure?”

The great witch sighed: “This is the answer I gave you when you came up the mountain on this trip.”

Qi Ning thought to himself that the Miao family’s shaman was sure that she could restrain the Miao family’s seventy-two caves for granted, but why did she dare to guarantee that there would never be any change in the Black Lotus Sect?

The leader of the Black Lotus Sect is one of the five great masters in the world, and belongs to the transcendent existence. Moreover, the Miao family wizard just said that although most of the Black Lotus Sect are members of the Miao family, they do not follow the rules of the Miao family and are not subject to the Miao family. Recognition, in other words, the Black Lotus Sect could not affect the Miao Family Seventy-two Caves, but the Miao Family Great Witch also could not issue orders to the Black Lotus Sect.

After all, the leader of the Hei Lian is a dignified master. Although the Miao family’s great witch has a very noble status in the eyes of the Miao family, the black lotus leader does not necessarily take the great witch in his eyes, let alone obey the great witch’s orders.

That being the case, why did the Miao clan Dawu dare to protect the Black Lotus Sect?

Could it be that the Great Witch has already had contact with the Black Lotus Sect in private, and what promise has the Black Lotus Sect made to the Great Witch?

Qi Ning felt more and more strange, but knew that if Da Wu was willing to tell the truth, he didn’t have to ask, and Da Wu would tell the truth. Since Da Wu didn’t say much, even if he asked, there would be no answer.

“Ksitigarbha sent people to sneak into Xishan and set up an ambush on Riyue Peak, but we didn’t notice it. This is our negligence.” Da Wu sighed softly, “It’s just that Lord Qi should have thought that UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Why did you come to Riyue Peak? Since you know that the other party has set a trap for you from the very beginning, then every step of yours will be in the other party’s calculation. As you said, if you really die at Riyue Peak tonight , the consequences are naturally unimaginable, but have you ever thought that a person who is skilled in calculation can not only design how to advance, but also calculate how to retreat, even if there is a certainty of success, such people will not leave themselves behind retreat.”

Qi Ning was stunned, only to feel that Da Wu’s words had a deep meaning, and after thinking for a while, he said, “I also ask Da Wu to make it clear.”

“Ksitigarbha can drive many powerful characters, and can cause waves in all parts of the Chu country. Naturally, he is a person who is good at calculating.” Da Wu said slowly: “He designed you to come to Riyue Peak. Death, but he will also calculate what will happen next if the assassination fails? Have you thought about what arrangements he will make?”

“Ksitigarbha is thoughtful and has deceitful plans. Forgive me for being blunt. It’s really not easy to guess what tricks this person has next.” Qi Ning said with a wry smile, “In fact, although I don’t know who he is, it can be regarded as a lot with him. It seems that every time I have the upper hand, it seems that I have the upper hand every time, but I have never understood his plan from beginning to end.

“Then do you know that if we don’t take any precautions today, every word we say here, Jizo will probably know it tomorrow.” The great witch sighed: “His cunning is even more than Exactly what I expected.”

Qi Ning was a little surprised, and said, “He would know? Could it be that…he will have clairvoyance?”

“Some people do have clairvoyant ears and clairvoyance.” Da Wudao said, “In fact, sometimes the eyes and ears of the other person are right in front of us, but we turn a blind eye and cannot find out where they are.”
