"The second way?" Song Qingshu paused, then turned his gaze to the joint between the stone gate and the wall, "The person who conspired against us this time must not be a member of the Dragon Sect."
"Why?" Subconsciously, Su Quan thought that Hong Antong was plotting against Song Qingshu and Ouyang Feng. After all, the Spirit Snake Cave and the Colorful Dragon had the characteristics of Shenlong Island. But I clearly hinted to him that Song Qingshu had been taken by him, could it be that he saw the flaws and became angry from embarrassment? Su Quan was still hesitant at first, but when he heard Song Qingshu's words, he raised his head and asked.
"If it was the people on Shenlong Island, they would definitely not spend so much effort trying to trap us with this stone gate, because this stone gate has a fatal weakness."
Ouyang Feng was originally a person with a quick mind, following Song Qingshu's gaze, he quickly came to his senses: "You mean the door shaft?"
Looking at the joint between the stone gate and the wall, Ouyang Feng finally saw the fundamental difference between the stone gate and the dragon breaking stone in the tomb of the living dead.
Once the Dragon-Breaking Stone was put down, it could not be opened again, so it was simply the stone gate of more than ten thousand catties blocking the entrance of the cave. Although the stone door in front of me also weighs more than ten thousand catties, for the convenience of opening and closing, it is not a structure that falls from above like the broken dragon stone, but a structure that can be opened and closed freely like an ordinary door.
Ordinary doors need hinges, and this stone door is no exception. Its door hinges are inlaid on the side wall, and this wall is not a solid rock. The stone gate was locked from the outside, and these hinges became the breakthrough point.
"Mr. Ouyang, you and I cooperate to bombard this stone gate with ten levels of energy at the same time. Although the stone gate is unscathed, the hinges cannot withstand repeated damage." Song Qingshu thought to himself that if he bombarded the stone gate with his own strength, he might not be able to knock the gate down. Shaft broken.
"That's why you came back to save me?" Ouyang Feng's expression suddenly became very strange.
"Mr. Ouyang won't dislike my impure motive for saving people, right?" Song Qingshu laughed awkwardly.
"I just laughed at you for being stupid, why bother?" Ouyang Feng sneered a few times, and without waiting for Song Qingshu's cooperation, he went straight to the corner of the wall, without looking at the huge door hinges, and pressed his palm on the door near the door hinges. On the wall, "Can you push it again?"
Song Qingshu slapped the stone gate suspiciously, only to hear a crackling sound in his ears, the whole stone gate had begun to loosen, Song Qingshu was overjoyed, and moved the three folded waves of lifting and lowering dragons, combining the three palms of Kanglong Yougui into one palm After pushing it out, with a bang, the huge stone door slowly fell out.
Su Quan, who survived the catastrophe, felt extremely lucky when he saw the sunshine that he was used to in the past. Soon Ouyang Feng's voice sounded again: "It's enough to use internal force to smash the wall near the hinge, why are you just thinking about it?"
Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Before he couldn't turn the corner, what he was thinking about was how much force to hit Shimen Mountain to loosen the door hinge. His first reaction was to rescue Ouyang Feng. . Afterwards, the things he considered were either how to save Ouyang Feng, or how to persuade the other party to cooperate sincerely. He was careless for a while, which resulted in his IQ being despised by a perennial epilepsy patient.
…
"The leader will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life will be as long as the heavens. I report to the leader that the people sent out have returned, and there is no trace of Madam and Song Qingshu anywhere." A disciple of Shenlong Island knelt in front of Hong Antong and said.
"Where's Xidu Ouyang Feng?" Hearing that the two were both missing, Hong Antong snorted coldly, a trace of blue flashed across his originally ruddy face.
"No news." Feeling that Hong Antong's tone was not friendly, the disciple of Shenlong Island hurriedly replied, "The people sent by the leader to serve Ouyang Feng were all killed last night. It is said that later some disciples saw Ouyang Feng and Song Qingshu fighting fiercely in the woods. , the disciples did not dare to approach, and then the two of them disappeared without knowing where to go."
"Could it be that both sides were hurt and fell into the sea and drowned?" Hong Antong felt a little doubt in his heart, which was quickly replaced by irritability, and waved his hands to signal his disciples to retreat.
It's no wonder that Hong Antong was depressed. He had prepared Ouyang Feng as a big killer, but he already had the confidence to control the overall situation. Later, Su Quan brought Song Qingshu, a master of Western poisons, according to her hint, Song Qingshu had already been used by her. Hong Antong thought that with these two masters on his side, it would not be difficult to survive this catastrophe.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Hong Antong became a lonely family again. Thinking of the envoys sent by various forces, each of whom had ulterior motives, Hong Antong had a sense of foreboding.
"Master, the guests are already waiting in the lobby."
Hearing the voice of the disciples outside the house, Hong Antong woke up with a start, his eyes regained their former sternness, and he calmly walked towards the hall.
…
"Lord Hong, before Pindao left, Prince Bao specially ordered that as long as you surrender Su Quan, the culprit, we will immediately withdraw our troops from Shenlong Island. Today is the deadline. Whether to hand over or not, the leader will give you a word." .”
In the conference hall, Yu Zhenzi swept away the embarrassment when he was hunted down by Ouyang Feng last night, and looked at Hong Antong with aggressive eyes.
"What if I don't hand over to you?" Hong An said suspiciously. It's not that he hadn't thought of sacrificing Su Quan before, but he has been doting on this beautiful lady for many years, and it's hard to make up his mind for a while. What's more, Su Quan also brought back a super thug.
"It's inevitable that Guidao will be devastated." Yu Zhenzi smiled, and the threat was palpable, "Sacrificing one person can save the whole island. As the leader, you can't even tell the importance of this point. Or some People are reluctant to part with their own wife and use it for themselves..."
Hong Antong is very powerful in the teaching. When someone dares to speak to him in such a yin and yang tone, he is immediately furious and is about to explode when Sang Jie comes out to smooth things over: "Master Hong, today is the gift from Shengjing." The deadline. It’s about the survival of the Dragon Cult. Whether it’s war or peace, have you reached an agreement on Shenlong Island? On behalf of Prince Aribu, I will always support your religion’s decision.” After finishing speaking, he calmly told Xu Xueting winked.
Hong Antong's heart warmed up. Although Sangjie and the others were acting suspicious recently, they were allies in the same camp after all. With Brother Ali's support, Shengjing would always have some scruples.
Yelu Nanxian, who had been silent all this time, sneered in his heart, he had found out about Sangjie's plot last night, Hong Antong might be doomed this time.
"Both the emperor of our country and the Great King of Nanyuan admire Hierarch Hong very much. King Xiao is now fighting against Wu Sangui of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside Shanhaiguan. If the Hierarch starts a war with Shengjing, our country hopes to form an alliance with your religion to fight against the Manchu Qing."
Seeing the powerful relationship between the countries, Yelu Nanxian naturally did not want Shenlong Island to be wiped out so easily, so that Hongli and Kangxi went to war in an all-out way, leaving Mongolia with one less check and balance. What's more, she received a secret order from Master Su, the Department of Vigilance, to protect Su Quanquan. If Hong Antong was allowed to hand over Su Quan, she might not be able to control the life and death of the other party anymore. At that time, the only option is to take a risk and see if we can save Su Quan and escape. Fortunately, with the help of Song Qingshu, it will be much easier to protect Su Quan.
Thinking of this, Yelu Nanxian couldn't help searching for Song Qingshu's figure in the hall again, but after finding nothing, a trace of worry flashed across his beautiful brows.
On the other side, the Blood Knife Patriarch and Sang Jie looked at each other, feeling quite annoyed but unable to break out. After all, the Liao Kingdom is an ally of Mongolia, and the Mongolia they represent apparently supports Hong Antong. Hearing what Yelu Nanxian said, he couldn’t help but Some regretted not communicating with the people of Liao beforehand.
Xu Xueting got a hint from Sang Jie, hesitated for a while, but stood up and said: "Master, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."
"Say." Hong Antong snorted with a gloomy face.
"Back then, the leader founded the Dragon Sect by himself. There were a thousand and twenty-three old brothers who followed the leader in the rebellion. They have gone through fire and water for many years. Today, some of them are killed by their opponents, and some are punished by the canon because they made some small mistakes. Counting back and forth, there are less than a hundred people left. Although the leader and his wife have recruited a large number of young congregants, it is a pity that the Dragon Sect will no longer be as grand as it used to be..." Xu Xueting said slowly, word by word, in a deep, thoughtful tone. Sometimes there was even a choked sound, and some old people in the hall heard it, and they all sighed when they recalled the past years.
Hong Antong's face became more and more ugly, seeing Xu Xueting talking more and more vigorously, he couldn't help snorting heavily: "Qinglong envoy, now we are discussing the invasion of foreign enemies, why are you talking about such nonsense?"
"I'm talking about the invasion of foreign enemies." Xu Xueting's expression suddenly became a little excited, "Does the leader know that we old people are often killed, and when did it start?"
Seeing that Hong Antong remained silent, Xu Xueting said bitterly: "It started when the leader married that woman..."
"Shut up!" Hong Antong's beard and hair were all stretched out, and Xu Xueting couldn't help feeling a little terrified when he glared at him, and couldn't say what he had thought up for a while.
"Brother Xu is right," the Wugen Taoist at the side hurriedly said, "Since that woman came to the island, you, the leader, have changed, and you can't remember us old brothers anymore. Madam, she She likes to use young people. Seeing us old people feels an eyesore, so she formulated various strict rules. If we violated them slightly, she took the opportunity to kill them. You have been watching silently, our old brothers. It's heartbreaking."
"This seat has always been a meritocracy, regardless of age. As long as you are capable and loyal to the leader, I will never treat you badly. If the old man is loyal to the leader, I will naturally still treat him as a good brother and will never discriminate. ,You think too much."
If it wasn't for the foreign enemy, with Hong Antong's temperament, these two dared to contradict him, and he would have been killed by him long ago.
"So, so many brothers who were killed before were all because they were not loyal to the leader?" Zhang Danyue, the black dragon emissary, smiled sadly. As soon as this remark came out, many old people in the hall showed indignation, and all the young disciples They looked at each other, holding the handle of the knife nervously.
"I didn't say that." Hong Antong remained expressionless.
"Well, the dead are gone, but now there are thousands of congregants on the island, they can't continue to die just because of the leader's words." Xu Xueting had already recovered, and said.
"How are you doing?" Hong Antong said calmly.
When the three of Song Qingshu left the Spirit Snake Cave and arrived near the meeting hall, the forces of all parties had already begun to intrigue. The three of them had no intention of showing their faces, and chose to lurk outside the hall by coincidence, silently watching the situation inside.
"It seems that your husband still loves you very much." Song Qingshu turned his head to look at the delicate and beautiful teacher's wife beside him, and smiled in a low voice.
