Crane Pavilion
Director Zhou saw the two words that were quickly thrown away on the table, and his thoughts surged:
"Heting Mountain, one of the three mountains?"
"Xu Xiaoshou has really arrived in the Central Territory?"
"Yes, Heting was the previous headquarters of Fenqin..."
"Xu Xiaoshou's first master was the Holy Slave Wu Xiu, who was also one of the five evil elders who burned the harp and boiled the crane..."
"He picked up his gang and went to Heting Mountain. What are they looking for?"
Xu Xiaoshou watched Director Zhou's expression change, and the message bar kept popping up "under suspicion". He grabbed his fan and smiled.
There is no need to do anything more, just write down the word "Heting". With Director Zhou's "ingenuity", he can easily think of many, many more.
This is how clever you are misled by your cleverness.
If it was against Mu Zixi and others, Xu Xiaoshou would never dare to use this move.
Heting Mountain was originally just a place where the sad story told by Aunt Xiang took place, but now it has become an important part of Xu Xiaoshou's plan.
Putting aside the personal discussion, just think from the perspective of the Holy Temple:
May I ask where Xu Xiaoshou is most likely to go when he comes to the Central Territory
Heting Mountain!
What was he doing in Hetingshan
His master Wu Xiu, that is, Burning Qin and Boiling Crane, must have left something there - such a big burning Qin, even if it has been destroyed for more than sixteen years, there must be some signs of dying, and there are traces of it , probably only people of the same lineage can detect it.
Is it possible that Xu Xiaoshou didn't go to Heting Mountain? He didn't even know who Burning Qins and Cooking Cranes was and where Heting Mountain was
The answer is yes!
Or from the perspective of the Holy Temple, how could a person as smart as Saint Slave Wu Xiu not think that letting his apprentice go to Heting Mountain would incur certain risks
Therefore, it is possible that he never told Xu Xiaoshou some secrets.
But from Dao Qiongang’s personal perspective, it doesn’t matter whether Saint Slave Wu Xiu said it or not. Heting Mountain must be defended!
"It doesn't matter if I can't catch anything and have been setting up defenses for more than sixteen years to no avail."
"But I can't let Xu Xiaoshou go to Heting Mountain one day and leave calmly after getting something there or restarting the Qin Burning."
This is the only answer Xu Xiaoshou can get after becoming the master of the Taoist Palace.
He believed that whether he knew it or not, Heting Mountain, as the former site of Burning Qin, would be impossible for the local Taoist palace master to give up surveillance.
Since Xu Xiaoshou will definitely appear in Heting...
After Xu Xiaoshou succeeds to Void Island, he will surely serve as the core of the Saint Slaves and appear in the Central Territory to cause trouble...
Xu Xiaoshou himself is happy to tie these two things together and let them happen "simultaneously".
At least this way, all the troops in the Holy Temple will not be concentrated in the Four Elephants Secret Realm.
This is still a conspiracy, the kind that Dao Qiongcang has to accept no matter what he thinks.
"Although it's better than nothing..." After all, there is no shortage of people in the Holy Temple, and Xu Xiaoshou still knows this.
The room fell silent briefly.
Director Zhou's thoughts were very uneasy. Looking at the water marks that had completely disappeared on the tea table, he quickly fell into a dilemma.
He wanted to further confirm with the guards what happened when he met Master Shou in Heting Mountain.
This is not purely a distrust of intelligence.
What's more, it's said that the holy slave Master Shou came and went without a trace, killed people without being seen, and how the guards managed to break through Master Shou's disguise and escape without dying.
But Director Zhou is even more afraid of asking questions that he shouldn't ask...
He has been in this position for many years.
After working as a killer for more than thirty years, Jinpen washed his hands after liberation, and still managed to get a position as a director of Sanzhuoxiang.
Director Zhou cherishes life very much.
He also knows how to cherish his life.
Otherwise, he would not be in Sanbianxiang at the moment, but he was clearly biased towards Xu Gusheng, and even intended to take the initiative to become the matchmaker between Xu Gusheng and Sanbianxiang.

This is equivalent to training one more gold medal hunting order killer... No!
Xu Gusheng and his bodyguards, together, are much more powerful than the gold medal hunting killer!
Precisely because of this, Director Zhou also knows that sometimes knowing too much may seem very helpful in the present, but it will not be of any benefit in the future.
He was very smart and knew that he shouldn't ask at this time, so he stared at the tea table and hesitated to speak.
He was very cunning and knew that Xu Gusheng was a smart man and should know what he was thinking.
Xu Gusheng, who can speak, will naturally speak.
I can't say that I will change the subject after a while, let this matter be revealed, and everyone will be in peace.
"Stop pretending!"
As expected, Xu Gusheng sarcastically said again, "The interests between you and me have been divided, and hiding them is not good for each other!"
His sarcastic tone sounded so cordial at the moment—his willingness to speak showed that he regarded himself as one of his own.
But Director Zhou still said "Ah" in surprise, and then raised his eyes in confusion.
He knew that big shots could say this, but if a lower-level person like him took it seriously, he would have to pay someone else if he was sold.
"Mr. Xu, what are you talking about?"
"What are you pretending to be!"
Xu Xiaoshou curled his lips and could easily see that Director Zhou was pretending to be ignorant.
But he is more willing to disguise this see-through understanding and then explain everything in the most superficial and clear way:
"Don't you just want to ask about the specific process?"
"You are as timid as a mouse, how can you do anything for me in the future?"
Without waiting for Director Zhou to speak, Xu Xiaoshou waved his folding fan and stepped into the role of the sick young man, hating that iron cannot make steel:
"With all my guards, I was looking for the aura of the ancient sword cultivator. I found Xu Xiaoshou after finding Heting Mountain."
"If I hadn't restrained you at that time, these two people might have fought."
Jin Ren took the initiative to look for it... Director Zhou's heart froze, thinking of Jin Ren's sword pointing downstairs to kill him just now, and thought of taking a step forward and going downstairs to stop the dispute. The information he saw before:
Xu Gusheng is suspected to be an unnamed disciple of the Sword Burial Tomb in the Eastern Region and a descendant of Taixu.
The guards are all ancient sword cultivators, and with their ten-level sword fingers, they can forcefully break away the ghost faces of the ghosts and gods gang in the second part of Qisu.
"Mr. Xu, how strong are our brothers?" Director Zhou asked with a smile.
"So high." Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes and pointed at the ceiling with his paper fan.
"So high, how high is it?"
"Below the Sword Master, the number one Sword Immortal!"
Director Zhou picked up the tea cup and prepared to take a sip, but when he heard the sound, he almost spit out a sip of tea.
So, what you are talking about is really the ceiling of kendo
It’s really haha.
"Master Xu, please don't make such a joke..."
"I have never made any jokes, even if it sounds like a joke to you. If I hadn't wanted to show off at that time, I would have taken the name of the new Seven Swordsmen, and I would be my guardian."
Director Zhou rolled his eyes secretly.
How could he not know that this year's Seven Swordsmen are ranked, and the holy slave Shou Ye is the last of the Seven Swordsmen.
According to Xu Gusheng, if all his guards can be on the list, wouldn't the holy slave Shouye be pushed down
What a shame!
Xu Xiaoshou, however, did not intend to explain how powerful Jinren was - power was not something to be explained, but something to compare with.
Let the bullets fly for a while first...
"Even though Director Zhou is here at San Jian Xiang, he should know about Liu Fuyu, right?" He shook his fan and leaned back on the back of his seat, his posture even more lazily.
Director Zhou was immediately alert, but he didn't know what he meant. He could only nod: "Of course I know, the Seven Swordsman Liu Fuyu just entered the city not long ago."
"Then do you know where she is?"
"She is..." Director Zhou's voice was firm, and Tong Kong suddenly enlarged his voice, "Yougui Pavilion."
"Where did I spend the night before I came to Three Sticks of Incense? Did Director Zhou investigate clearly when he came downstairs to see me?"
"You, Yougui Pavilion..."
"Then who is Liu Fuyu looking for?"
"... Exhaust, exhaust everyone?"
"What are you doing with him?"
“…”
Director Zhou was horrified.
He thought those were just coincidences and never thought there was such a reason. He immediately asked hurriedly: "May I ask Mr. Xu, why did she find Brother Jinren?"
Xu Xiaoshou did not answer directly, but looked at Fatty Zhou, who was slightly obese and insisted on growing a long beard, with a smile. He closed the paper fan and hit him on the head.
"Director Zhou, do you know how to cultivate ancient swords?"
"not understand well… "
"Why do you think Jinren found Xu Xiaoshou, who is also an ancient sword cultivator, and how did Liu Fuyu lock Jinren who you can't even see?"
Director Zhou felt his head was itching, there must be some connection between them.
Looking at Xu Gusheng's expression, he had clearly given clues when he spoke before.
The damn Riddler…
Director Zhou's thoughts wandered for a long time, and he finally made up his mind. He recalled a special word used by Xu Gusheng just now when he talked about the discovery of Xu Xiaoshou in Heting Mountain by his escort:
"Searching?"
Director Zhou seemed to have solved a historical riddle, his eyes widened, and he hissed in surprise:
"Master Xu just said, 'Looking for the aura of ancient sword cultivators'..."
"Is it possible for ancient sword cultivators to lock their position by 'searching' for a certain aura?"
"This is why Jinren found Xu Xiaoshou, and this is also why Liu Fuyu found Jinren's brother?"
Xu Xiao's face was covered by a paper fan, and he smiled brightly, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
He knew that at this moment, the bullet hit Director Zhou's head.
All the hidden clues he had just given were found out by Director Zhou, a smart man, and all were connected.
The answers given by others are far less certain than those I came up with.
In Director Zhou's mind, Xu Xiaoshou knew that the story he had made out of nothing was taking root.
In fact, if Director Zhou recalled carefully, he would find that Mr. Xu did not tell much of the main story in front of him, but only generalized and fragmented information.
But these fragments can be pieced together intermittently, and finally the story "Xu Xiaoshou lives in Heting Mountain" is pieced together in people's minds.
Director Zhou even had a rough outline of this story, and could simply retell the story if asked.
This is a true self-justification!
And after self-justification, in addition to deep belief, there is only deep belief.
"I'm sorry, brother Jinren, Zhou just underestimated you, I will punish myself with three cups of wine."
Director Zhou's eyes kept wandering, he didn't know what he thought of, and he bent down towards the invisible void.
Finally he got up, filled himself three glasses of wine, and drank them all.
joke!
Even Liu Fuyu wanted to find everyone to learn ancient swordsmanship.
Just how strong Xu Gusheng's guard is, you can tell with your toes.
What he showed when he went downstairs was definitely not his true and full strength!
After finishing three cups, Director Zhou looked at the sick man on the bench and said seriously:
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhou really didn't know how powerful his brothers are. Even Liu Fuyu, the Immortal of Seven Swords, wanted to have a try. I was the one who was arrogant. I will punish myself..."
"Between you and me, there's no need." Xu Xiaoshou verbally stopped the guy from continuing to apologize, waving the paper fan lightly, "I do have another question."
"Gulu, gulu, gulu..."
How could Director Zhou dare to expose this matter so easily? After punishing himself three times, he looked seriously: "What are your orders, Mr. Xu?"
The sick man looked at the fat man's cheeks with a slight blush, as if his vanity suddenly rose, and his expression became extremely satisfied, but he said calmly:
"I just want to know if the Holy Temple is for free. They don't even know that Xu Xiaoshou came to the Central Territory."
"Or perhaps, the Taoist Palace Master has known about it for a long time and is already making plans..."
After a pause, Xu Xiaoshou was very natural and revealed the true purpose of his trip:
"I don't want our son to collide with one of our own when we take action, and then be used by Xu Xiaoshou, causing both sides to suffer losses."
"Xu Xiaoshou is the best at this, do you know this?"
How could Director Zhou not know that Saint Slave Shouye was so powerful and was the best at playing with people's hearts
He stood solemnly and said solemnly:
"Master Xu, please wait for a moment. If the information comes... Well, since Xu Xiaoshou has arrived in the Central Territory, the Taoist Palace Master must have known about it!"
"Zhou will go and ask the superiors about the arrangements for this matter. There is no chance that we will run into each other. Don't worry about that."
"As for Mr. Xu's safety..." Director Zhou patted his chest and assured seriously, "With Zhou here, it will be guaranteed!"
It's up to you, my great cleverness... Xu Xiaoshou nodded lightly, adjusted his posture, looked into nothingness, and pointed the paper fan towards the door.
"Go!"
Director Zhou bowed and retreated, opening and closing the door.
Obviously, his energy was not fully known to his partner Xu Gusheng.
But he didn't know that as soon as the door opened and closed, he was not the only one who left with it, but also everyone else.
In the room, Xu Xiaoshou, who had dismissed his second true form, was sitting on a bench. He stretched a little and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone has returned to Yougui Pavilion.
Now he was truly alone.
But in the eyes of San Zhuoxiang and Director Zhou, Xu Gusheng will always be protected by a bodyguard who is at least as powerful as a candidate for Seven Swordsmen. This will never change.
Even after that, the noise became louder and more things happened.
At a time when the entire Central Territory people dared not touch Xu Gusheng, even if this sick young master looked really weak.
The second real body is gone, and everyone can be completely liberated.
This is the true power of Vanish - it can never be used only in combat.
This is also the key to the ability to divide the body into two by using "presence" and "absence" after mastering the space disk.
The second true body does not have the awakening skill of "second true body". This is the most fundamental difference between him and the original body.
But now, Xu Xiaoshou used his own ability to help the second true body create the second true body - a person who does not exist.
This style is what Xu Xiaoshou is willing to call the "third true body".
only…
"Director Zhou is very sure. Why?"
"Why is it that Dao Qiongtian will definitely know that I am there as soon as I arrive in the Central Territory? Is he really so worried?"
Xu Xiaoshou sat on a wooden bench and thought, no one was around for a long time.
He remembered Director Zhou's previous actions, smiled, and threw the pole out of thin air in the room.
I don’t want to think about it anymore. Now that I have put down the long term, what kind of fish will come up
look forward to.
…
At noon, it was cold in Yujing.
Next to the outer road of the grocery store, in front of the cinnamon carriage.
Old Man Li leaned sideways on the horse beast, holding a sauce-flavored meat pie in his hand. His mouth was full of oil as he ate it, and he kept holding on to his thin clothes from time to time.
"What the hell is the weather? It's cold as hell..."
People come and go, it has nothing to do with him.
After finishing the last bite of the sauce-flavored meatloaf on his hand, Old Man Li wiped the oil on his hand, smiled, took out the moiré black bag from his arms, and opened it.
Counting money time is of course the happiest time in life.
After counting the spiritual crystals one by one, Old Man Li naturally read the message on the note made of spiritual elements in the small space of the moiré black bag:
"Xu Xiaoshou is at Heting Mountain."
Xu Xiaoshou is clearly burning incense!
Xu Xiaoshou went to Heting Mountain only after his head was kicked by a donkey!
But Xu Xiaoshou said so, which means that if Xu Xiaoshou appears in Heting Mountain, the overall situation can be achieved.
"When my master arrives, chaos begins..."
After sighing silently, he put the spiritual crystal back into the bag, and the small note turned into spiritual energy and was swallowed up by the cloud-patterned black bag.
All traces return to nothingness.
Old Man Li leaned on the cinnamon carriage, raised his head and opened his eyes to the sun. He held the cloud-patterned black bag tightly with both hands, as if he was holding happiness, and the corners of his lips couldn't help grinning.
"Master Shou, is this Fugui's first mission after joining the First Floor of Heaven?"
…
Yougui Pavilion, three floors of elegant rooms.
In the warm tent of the hotbed, Aunt Xiang was sleeping on her side wearing a gauze pajama, her figure was slim and graceful, showing her allure.
For some unknown reason, a small gap opened in the spiritual array in Yajian, and wisps of green smoke slowly flowed in from the outside, but it did not cause any reaction from the spiritual array.
Until finally, the green smoke turned into a tall man's figure, sitting beside the tea table, silently.
He just looked at it.
A full quarter of an hour passed, but Aunt Xiang still didn't notice it!
The man couldn't sit still anymore, so he rushed over, pulled open the green gauze curtain, and glared at the beauty on the bed.
"The sun is shining on your butt, why are you still sleeping?"
"Get up and cause trouble!"
