Chapter 1714: I never had hope

The General Altar of Mingjiao is located at the Guangmingding Peak, the main peak of Huangshan Mountain. It is also called the three main peaks of Huangshan Mountain along with Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak.
In addition to the three main peaks, there are 36 auxiliary peaks in the surrounding area, which are world-famous for their beautiful scenery.
A literati once wrote and praised: "The so-called Thirty-Six Peaks, the parallax and dilatation, the horizontal and the heavenly table, and the multitude of the hills, and the miraculous show, all at a glance."
The latest "Famous Sword Conference" will be held on top of these three main peaks.
"...Where is Lingyun Ladder?" I looked up at the top of the misty peak at the foot of the mountain. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find a large organ with a pavilion-like hanging basket that could carry people up the mountain along the sling.
"This is not the Lin family, my eldest lady," Nishigaki, dressed as a middle-aged servant woman, turned his head and said, "If you want to go to Guangmingding, you must either walk slowly on the winding road or fly directly up."
"Oh." I looked around, and at the same time I arrived at the foot of the mountain and wanted to participate in the famous sword conference, they either marched to the starting point of the winding mountain road, or ignored the steep cliffs to carry out light work or the wind protection technique soared up.
Obviously, this is the threshold set up by Mingjiao deliberately for this famous sword conference, and wants to eliminate some people who are weak but pretentious in advance.
Although the rules are reasonable and reasonable, in the eyes of us who understand the internal situation, this must be Ding Xiadong's guilty conscience and does not want too many monks to participate in this famous sword conference that he is bound to engage in. Otherwise, there will be a few Lingyun ladders. If you ask the Mohist family, it will be completed in less than half a year.
"I can lift up Miss's wheelchair." Sophie volunteered.
"No, that would be too ostentatious and inconsistent with our purpose." Matthew retorted.
"...Organization, bring Lin well... Susu, bring a chair." Tang Aimi also patted her organ backpack and made suggestions.
"Does that make a difference?" Matthew turned his head and glared at her.
"Um..." I looked around, and asked Nishigaki who looked good at the scene: "Where is the secret road you used to get in and out of Guangmingding?"
"It's a little remote there, come with me." Xiyuan showed the pity of being glued to the show, and then turned to lead the way.
When Matthew saw this, he stopped educating the two little girls. He raised his hand to support the handle of my wheelchair and started pretending to push. Sophie blinked and walked to her side and started pushing.
I could have come with my father and younger brother at this famous swords conference, but think about the possibility that I might be watched and pointed like some rare animal, or it is better to hide my identity and find a way to arrive at the venue. Anyway, wait for the trial to start. , Or Ding Xiadong starts to have trouble, no one will notice me.
As for the wheelchair? Maybe outsiders know that Ms. Lin's family is a paralyzed person, but people who haven't seen me in person can't think that this big-looking woman sitting in a strange office chair belongs to her.
Well, of course it's very big. I participated in the famous sword conference and brought two maids, a maid and a maid.
Sophie and Don Aimi are okay. Even if they look cute, they basically don’t attract much attention. The good-looking Matthew found two veil hats to wear with me. As for Nishigaki, who needs to avoid being discovered the most, is taking the initiative. After breaking a few spiritual roots, she dressed up as an ordinary chore woman who didn't want to see the second one at the first glance.
In this way, even if Ding Xiadong suspects that there may be Nishigaki in our group, after secretly observing the appearance of Matthew and me, who may be suspected targets, they will give up continuing to follow. Maybe this is called black under the light.

"This is a secret road down the mountain that has been abandoned for a long time. It is said that Mingjiao was very unhappy with the various sects of Nanzhan Buzhou at that time. People may unite and hit the door at any time. The Tao is used to escape. After generations of active integration, Mingjiao, who has been able to hold the'Famous Sword Conference', no longer needs to worry about being knocked on the door. This secret road is naturally abandoned, but it can still be used."
After avoiding the crowded area on the front of Huangshan Mountain, Xiyuan led us into a shallow cave. At the end of the cave, it was a dead end on the stone cave wall. A hidden stone gate slid to the side. Open, revealing a secret passage that reveals bursts of coolness.
"You left here quietly? Does anyone else know about this secret path?" I was in a wheelchair when Sophie pushed the secret path all the way, and asked her while observing the internal environment.
This dense road is a gray-white stone structure as a whole, and some faint pearls provide lighting for it. From the slight whirring sound, the ventilation here has been maintained well. As for the road, it is roughly a gentle spiral upward slope, just right. Suitable for Sophie to push my wheelchair up.
"Mingjiao leader Yang does not regret that he should know, but he probably won't care, and Xia Donghai, or Ding Xiadong in your mouth, has been lurking in Mingjiao for a short time, so I must not know it." Xiyuan led the way and responded casually. .
How did you know?
"Of course it was Sister Sinai who told me." Before I could ask, Nishigaki directly began to answer as if he had guessed my doubts: "She is the banner owner of the'Winter Banner' in the Mingjiao Four Seasons Banner, and was the first to find out. I'm an undercover person who worships Zoroastrianism. She didn't raise hair or lead people to arrest me, but quietly brought me here and advised me to leave early, because contemporary Mingjiao masters have long wanted to get rid of Zoroastrianism, but they just couldn't find one. Opportunity, if you discover my "Zoro worship undercover", you can naturally take the opportunity to launch an attack, justifiably break away from Zoroastrianism and stand on your own."
Hmm...These details, Sun Wukong used "all boring things" to prevaricate and refuse to explain. At this time, I would say that these details are fresh.
"Then what do you say?" Matthew asked actively, really a qualified listener.
"I naturally refuse. The matter regarding the'Holy Fire Order' and the'Great Shift of the Universe' has not been investigated. How can I leave early?" Nishigaki said, "She was very determined to drive me away, but she was unwilling to explain why. After arguing for a long time and no one can convince anyone, we chose to do it directly."
Hmm... No wonder she chose to blew herself up when the situation was unfavorable.
"At the end of the fight, the two sides couldn't help each other, and at the same time, they didn't want to make a bigger disturbance. Then she reluctantly explained the reason. It turned out that she was also the fire worship sect to investigate the'Holy Fire Order' and'The Great Movement of the Universe.' People who came here about three years earlier than me," Nishigaki sneered: "She sent back the first batch of information, but the messengers who waited for the message came. After she succeeded in fighting back, she decisively gave up the identity of Zoroastrianism. 'Infiltrating' Mingjiao turned into officially'joining' Mingjiao. In addition, because she didn't report her identity at the time of the investigation, the Zoroastrian Sect had nothing to do with her at the moment, so she blocked the news and sent a second group of people."
"If she kills you, it's tantamount to exposing herself. If she doesn't kill you, you will find out sooner or later," Matthew nodded. "But the general altar must have never expected the two of you to unite."
Matthew did not know what information it was, but I knew it clearly. It was nothing more than the story between the Flame Mountain, the alchemy furnace and the fragments of the alchemy furnace, and this story faintly proved that Mingjiao is orthodox, and Zoroastrianism is only a development. In the wrong direction, you can only give it the wrong branch as a stepping stone. Naturally, this kind of thing is impossible to accept in the "general altar", and everyone who knows about it can't stay.
"You should all know the next thing, I won't repeat it anymore," Xiyuan stopped and opened a hidden stone gate again on the spirally rising stone wall: "Go here, and the road up there belongs to Master Yang. residence."
...So did the two of you fight a big fight at the feet of the Mingjiao leader?

"Is this... the firewood room?"
After walking along the side road to the end and opening a hidden door again, I found that we appeared in a large room stacked with wood, stone and iron ore, and there were faint chattering and shouting outside. The sound and the sound of weapons collision.
Obviously, the members of the various sects who arrived at Guangmingding first would not be able to stay honestly, visit relatives and friends, communicate with each other or even start to discuss with each other.
"There are so many clans and clans. The original residence on Guangmingding is definitely not enough, and here is the place where the remaining materials for the construction of the'Famous Sword Residence' are stored. If the number of visitors is more than estimated, or if a house collapses for some reason, We will use the materials here for new additions or repairs. Generally speaking, we don't need them." After we all walked out of the secret road, Nishigaki turned it back and sealed it.
It is clear that she has been away for three years and is so familiar with the situation, if she has not sneaked back at all, I am the first one to not believe it.
"Are you going to find Sinai now?" I listened for a while, and found that although Guangmingding was noisy at this time, it was not too close to the movement of this "wood house".
"...No," Nishigaki thought a little, then shook his head: "As the owner of the'Winter Banner', she should be very busy at this time. Even if Ding Xiadong is not controlled by Ding Xiadong, she will be under close surveillance, no matter what. , This is not a good opportunity for me to see her."
"Then, you still stay with us," I nodded: "Explore the situation of Guangmingding according to the scheduled plan."
According to Nishigaki's statement, those who go up the mountain through the "regular way" will be followed by Mingjiao disciples, and they will be removed only after they are sure that there is no threat.
And with the level of suspiciousness of our combination, if you go up the mountain grandiosely, you will definitely be monitored from beginning to end. Don't even think about quietly investigating the degree of Ding Xiadong's penetration and control of Mingjiao.
But now, when we appear directly on the mountain, although the level of suspiciousness has not changed at all, it will give all Mingjiao disciples a signal: They are so suspicious that there must be other fellow students watching, so I won't bother with it.
In this way, we have successfully used the blind areas of our thinking to achieve the effect of "sneaking" in an open and fair manner.

"Um...Um..."
I took two little girls, a maid and a maid, and circled Guangmingding twice.
Because of Monkey King's "fire-eyed golden eyes", no matter what hidden secrets are here, there is no way to hide.
I was shocked by the huge Mingjiao power, and then regretted that it was riddled with holes that had been corroded by Ding Xiadong.
Ding Xiadong’s pseudonym "Xia Donghai" controls the "Xia Qi" of the Mingjiao Four Banners. The flag is completely controlled by him. On the contrary, the number of people with the middle and lower "Life and Death Talisman" is the fewest, but there are many stars and seas mixed in it. Even the bald head of the impermanence sect of Life and Death, it seems that the strange assassin gang has also been controlled by him.
Wait... Life and death talisman, life and death impermanence school... stars, stars...
The martial arts moves of this great traitor do not belong to him at all, do they?
Then there are the "Spring Banner" and "Autumn Banner". The flag owners of these two flags did not go with Ding Xiadong, but more than 80% of his subordinates were planted with life and death talisman. These people's eyes flickered. Obviously, they only need Ding Xiadong's order will provoke trouble.
As for the "Winter Banner" controlled by Sinai, I don't know how the former Mingjiao anti-thief and current loyal minister controlled his subordinates. Only about 10% of the people were planted with the life and death talisman, and most of them were only willing to provide information and refused to do it. Types of.
In the end, they belonged directly to the elite of Mingjiao leader Yang Buhui. They did not appear in front of the people because the leader of Gongwei, but according to Monkey King, their loyalty is beyond doubt, and there is no chance of being planted with life and death charms.
In other words, if Ding Xiadong finds an opportunity to choose to attack, as long as he restrains the Mingjiao leader, the remaining people will respond to him, and less than 20% of the Mingjiao who are loyal to the leader will not be able to overcome the storm.
But obviously, Ding Xiadong's ambitions don't stop there. He put all the "life and death symbols" in the food and water sent by the people from various gates, of course, just raw materials.
These raw materials are colorless, tasteless and non-toxic. Even if they are eaten or drunk, they will lose their effect after about three days-as long as they don't exercise vigorously or use Reiki frequently.
If the above situation occurs, then the originally unrelated raw materials will be "homology" in the body of the eater, forming a complete "life and death talisman", and then Ding Xiadong will be able to control life and death without knowing it.
If this becomes the case, it will be of no use even if the Sect Masters decisively kill Ding Xiadong. The "Life and Death Talisman" can not only actively stimulate people to make people feel unhappy, but they will still suffer if they do not take the antidote for a period of time. When it happens, killing Ding Xiadong means giving up the young elite carefully selected by his own school. It is almost impossible for anyone to accept it, and eventually will have to accept Ding Xiadong's threat.
As for the solution...
Kick off Ding Xiadong's conspiracy in advance, and call on the martial arts to eliminate him and his minions?
There is no evidence to confirm this, and the life and death symbol can not be checked before the attack.
Provide the real antidote to the "Life and Death Talisman"?
Explain, why does the Lin family have the antidote to the thing used by the Lin family traitor?
Replace all the water provided by Guangmingding three days in advance?
Without mentioning materials, manpower alone is not enough, and such a big move will definitely be discovered.
Then, there is only one answer.
Suck away the "Life and Death Talisman" from everyone, take the opportunity to comprehend "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi", and then all photographed Ding Xiadong.
It seems that there is no hope...
