Chapter 278
The Sect Master's token that He Taichang wanted was the Sect Master's token of the Xiushan Yinzhi Sect, which naturally was not with Liu Xiaolou. But Liu Xiaolou had three of them himself, all in the Universe Bag, buried by the Ghost Banyan tree.
The thing certainly couldn't be given directly. People in the Ten Thousand Mountains had no credibility at all and wouldn't reason. There were the Wan couple before and the Zhu family father and son after. He was in their hands, what qualifications did he have to talk about exchange? I'm afraid that as soon as the thing was handed over, he would be captured back immediately.
Even the He Taichang in front of him was a guy who killed without blinking. He had seen him kill the companion who received the goods directly.
It could be considered to lure him under the Ghost Banyan tree...
But the Ghost Banyan was very conspicuous. He didn't recognize it, but he was afraid that this He Taichang would recognize it. After all, the Wan couple recognized it at a glance at the time. Therefore, he didn't dare to be in a hurry. That was his last path, and he had to ponder a proper method.
At the moment, he said: "Feng Buqi died. Before he died, he told me that he had failed, and the thing was still in Xiushan. But before he died, he told me a method to get the thing out. Coming to Miaofeng Mountain was originally to see you. As long as you agree to give me spirit stones according to the price, I will go to Xiushan to take the thing immediately."
He Taichang's face turned cold immediately: "Are you playing with me?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "How would I dare to play with you? Don't I want my life? I entered the mountain for a month and truly suffered a lot! But I really have a way to get the thing, I just need to fix the price with you, so I can go back and do it. Who has the interest to risk such a great danger to come to Miaofeng Mountain to play with you? Am I full and have nothing to do?"
He Taichang asked: "Are you sure you have a way? What way?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "I can't tell you clearly about this. Let's discuss the price. You say a number, and if I think it's appropriate, I will run to Xiushan and will definitely take the token for you."
He Taichang looked at Liu Xiaolou and asked: "How many spirit stones did I spend to save you just now?"
Liu Xiaolou suddenly realized: "Look at my brain, I was muddled," and sighed again: "I originally wanted to do a business, but I didn't expect to end up in such a state. Forget it, I will go to Xiushan for you to take the token. Or you go with me, I can't run away."
He Taichang waved his large sleeve, and suddenly slapped him. He attacked in anger, immediately slapping Liu Xiaolou flying more than two zhang away, hitting Liu Xiaolou until he vomited blood on the spot.
Liu Xiaolou coughed blood while shouting: "I can really take the token for you, the Yinzhi Sect token, it's on the offering table in the main hall of Xiushan. Feng Buqi did something, but he didn't have time to take it away, but he told me the method!"
He Taichang's face was livid, and he was about to kill him in a rage. Liu Xiaolou hurriedly reminded him: "You paid twelve spirit stones, if you kill me, it will all be in vain!"
This sentence made He Taichang calm down slightly. He kicked and punched Liu Xiaolou, but didn't kill him.
Venting his anger, he shouted: "Get up, walk!"
Liu Xiaolou escaped a disaster, coughing and following behind He Taichang, stumbling step by step, went up a mountain road on the right, took a few turns, and gradually came down from the high mountain terrace on the Zhu family side, crossed a deep ravine, and in front of him was a slightly shorter mountain peak.
Liu Xiaolou guessed that it should be the "Second Peak" mentioned by Cave Master Zhu.
He was still trapped by the Eight-Prohibition Rope and was poisoned and beaten by He Taichang, so he really had no strength to climb the mountain. He Taichang had to carry him, and before long, they reached the top of the mountain.
This mountain peak was quite peculiar. Huge rocks rose from the soil like stone peaks. One stone peak after another was arranged all around, and each stone crevice naturally formed pleated edges, like a lotus flower in full bloom.
He Taichang carried Liu Xiaolou to a stone peak in the center and reported to an old man sitting on it: "Uncle, the news about Feng Buqi has been found out, the person is dead. This guy was familiar with Feng Buqi. When Feng Buqi died, he told this brat about the Sect Master's token. He said he had a way to go to Xiushan to get that token out."
The old man was very thin, wearing a large robe, like a cloak wrapped around a tree trunk, and was lowering his head to fiddle with the objects in his hands. Hearing this, he looked at Liu Xiaolou below and asked: "How did that little thief die?"
So Liu Xiaolou told the situation of that day again, hiding what should be hidden and telling what should be told. After listening, the old man sighed: "Can't take it anymore. Since Jingzhen killed that little thief, she must know the inside story of the token and must have precautions. If we insist on taking action, and anger her, I'm afraid we will be followed by her instead."
He also blamed: "Look at the person you picked at the time!"
He Taichang argued: "Feng Buqi's cultivation is not high, but he is a rare master of theft. Who knows where the problem lies? He used to do things very neatly."
The old man snorted coldly: "Didn't he die the same way? Still talking."
He Taichang didn't dare to say more and asked with his head down: "Then how to deal with this guy? I paid twelve spirit stones to buy him."
The old man waved his hand: "Send him to the Third Peak, ask Daoist Lin if he needs him. A furnace cauldron at the tenth level of Qi Refinement might be beneficial to his dual cultivation."
Liu Xiaolou understood dual cultivation. Dual cultivation techniques are divided into orthodox and evil. The Three Mystical Sect belongs to orthodox dual cultivation. Although he didn't know the "Daoist Lin" in the old man's mouth, Miaofeng Mountain was too evil, and it could almost be certain that the Daoist Lin on the Third Peak should be evil techniques.
He knew very well what a furnace cauldron in evil dual cultivation techniques was. He would be squeezed into a human dry in less than half a month—a real human dry!
So he hurriedly shouted: "I am an array master, I am useful, I am worth twelve spirit stones!" If his identity still didn't work, he could only expose his refining of the array key for He Taichang, or go to the Ghost Banyan to take the Sect Master's token and try to die together.
