Chapter 13 Meng Family's Direct Line?

"A member of the Meng family's direct line?"

Hu Ma had asked the monkey wine to help him investigate the movements outside, in order to know himself and his enemy, so as not to be confused and involved in the One Coin Church's affairs, lest he kick a steel plate and suffer a great loss.

But he never expected that this casual eavesdropping would yield such big news.

The Meng family of the Ten Surnames, known for their ability to communicate with the dead, had suddenly appeared here?

If it was just a zhuodao datangguan (a type of law enforcement official) outside, Hu Ma wouldn't have cared too much, after all, it was their duty to suppress rebellious bandits, but the fact that a member of the Meng family was here immediately raised his level of concern by several notches.

The Meng family and the Hu family were old enemies. Normally, he would not dare to provoke them, but if he accidentally encountered them, he would not let go of their every move.

Moreover, this place was not far from Ming Prefecture, and his hometown was in Ming Prefecture, so how could he not suspect the Meng family's presence here?

He immediately tensed his mind and perceived more carefully. He saw the Meng family's qingyi gongzi (young man in green robes) smile and reply to the armored general, "Things that seem unreasonable all come down to fate when you look into them closely."

"The One Coin Church is just a small-time affair. Sending two minor officials to disperse them would have been enough. Why would the Zhou family bother General to make a trip for this?"

"They say the One Coin Church is spreading the New Year's Eve rituals, which angered the Zhou family, but what are those little tricks worth to the Zhou family? The real reason isn't that this place is too close to Ming Prefecture, and they're afraid that someone from that family might borrow the momentum if things get out of hand?"

"Actually, I'm the same."

"We all know that the one in Ming Prefecture is making more and more noise. First, he cleaned up the Protector God who betrayed their Hu family, and then he secretly instructed people to seize the incense-sharing position in Ming Prefecture. Even the Demon Suppression Bureau has been opened once, alarming the world."

"Who knows what big moves he'll make next?"

"In detail, the people of the Ten Surnames are unwilling to provoke him at this time, and are still waiting for him to understand and continue to do what was discussed in Shiting."

"But it's not okay to not keep an eye on him and let the situation here become more and more chaotic. Not only that, but suppressing the chaos around Ming Prefecture as soon as possible can also deter the ambitious rabble in Ming Prefecture and tell them that rebellion is not a joke, don't follow suit."

""

"Hehe"

Hearing this, the armored general seemed to understand that this Meng family gongzi was very polite to him, and had told him some of the reasons that he shouldn't have understood, as a thank you to himself.

He sighed softly and said, "It's funny to say that the demon people of the One Coin Church probably can't figure out even if they're beaten to death that their death has nothing to do with them or what they did, but is only affected by the one in Ming Prefecture."

"The funny thing is, maybe they don't even know who the one in Ming Prefecture is…"

"However, I was ordered to come here to kill people, the reason is simple, and it's still passable on the surface, but gongzi also came to visit and asked me for these three days, what's the meaning of that?"

""

The qingyi gongzi smiled and said, "I was just interested in the demon corpse that General caught."

"Demon corpse?"

The armored general was also stunned for a moment, and smiled, "That xingzi (referring to the demon corpse) lurks in the forest, sleeps in deserted graves during the day, and sucks human blood at night. I happened to run into it and grabbed it. It looked like a demon corpse, but there was nothing special about it. Why did gongzi take a fancy to it?"

The qingyi gongzi smiled and said, "That's not a demon corpse, that's a Yin General."

The armored general was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became a little strange.

The qingyi gongzi smiled and said, "It's just that this Yin General seems to have been calculated by a capable person and hasn't grown to full strength, but for me, it can barely be used."

"It seems that it came out before it was fully formed, so it became this inhuman and ghost-like appearance, but it doesn't matter, what the Tai Sui Laosui (referring to a celestial entity) didn't give it, I will give it, and it can always be raised to some degree."

""

The Tie Jun datangguan also flickered his eyes slightly before whispering to the qingyi gongzi, "I've heard about the Yin General. It's said that wherever a Yin General appears, it means that place is going to be in chaos."

"And the only thing that can cure it is the General's Token. If gongzi says this thing is a Yin General, then the General's Token…"

""

"That's why I need three days."

The qingyi gongzi smiled and said, "This Yin General hasn't grown to full strength, and the General's Token is also missing. If I guess correctly, it's been taken by someone. If I want to make this arrangement, I have to find a way to get the General's Token back."

"Then…"

The armored general hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Why bother so much? Why not lead people into the town, find the person, and ask for it directly?"

"Or trace the origin, the General's Token is wherever the Yin General was born. What's so difficult about finding it?"

""

"You can't do that."

The qingyi gongzi shook his head gently and said, "To be honest, before I met General, I had already been to the small blood food mine where the Yin General was born, but I didn't enter the mine, because I saw someone making a mark on the mine."

The armored general was slightly stunned: "A mark?"

"Yes."

The qingyi gongzi smiled and said, "It's a kind of mark left by people that even the Ten Surnames are unwilling to provoke easily. I looked along the way and saw that he had also left marks in the surrounding villages."

"You can use these marks to determine that the person also entered Shima Town."

"I'm only asking General to set aside these three days because I know he's in Shima Town, otherwise, if you kill your way in directly, you may not be able to gain the upper hand."

""

Hearing this, the armored general's face changed greatly: "Even the Ten Surnames are afraid of him? Is there such an expert in Shima Town?"

"It's not fear, his skills may not be great."

The qingyi gongzi shook his head slowly and said softly, "It's just that the origins of these people are strange, so we have to give them some respect, so as not to let them run wild in our ancestral halls, but giving him face first and giving him time to leave is enough."

The armored general looked strange: "What if he doesn't leave after three days? Or even, even the General's Token was stolen by this person, or he instigated someone else to steal it?"

"Then he's courting death."

The qingyi gongzi said indifferently, "People from their sect can't take sides. Once they take sides, the relationship is gone, and no one cares if they are killed."

The armored general couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who exactly is it, that his identity is so special?"

The qingyi gongzi looked at the armored general and smiled: "Hasn't General heard that there is another surname outside the Ten Surnames, and another sect outside the Ten Sects?"

The armored general's heart moved, and he blurted out: "The National Preceptor?"

"Hehe"

The qingyi gongzi, but refused to say more, just smiled: "In short, these three days are enough to give face."

"The General's Token is easy to steal, but not everyone can hide it. It doesn't necessarily mean that if you have the General's Token, you can control this Yin Soldier. The Yin General is not fully formed, or will be controlled by it, but once the Yin General is refined..."

"The knife is fierce against the master, the soldier is fierce against the rebellious commander. If you want to hide the General's Token again, you have to see if you have the life to do it, and whether you can suppress this fierce thing…"

""

Even the armored general's face sank slightly when he heard this, while the qingyi gongzi smiled and leaned back, sighing softly: "There's nothing we can do."

"Only by borrowing this Yin General, refining it into a Ghost General Platform, and establishing it here to control 20,000 Yin Soldiers to keep an eye on the one in Ming Prefecture, will it be more convenient for our Meng family to go to Ming Prefecture to do things, right?"

"The Shiting Alliance is related to the overall situation of the world!"

"The one in Ming Prefecture has suffered losses before, and his temperament has changed greatly. He's become a lot more ruthless and decisive, but it's not a good thing to let him mess around in Ming Prefecture all the time. Presumably, every sect knows that we can't continue to tolerate his willfulness, right?"

"Our Meng family is considering the world and plans to talk to him."

"If he can understand and continue the Shiting Alliance, that's certainly good, but if he's not willing, there are many people with the surname Hu in the world, and it's not just him who can be the master of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

""

"As for the other disciples, whether they recognize it or not, it's not good to spoil things at this critical moment, right?"

He spoke with a smile on his face, but suddenly turned his gaze and suddenly looked at Hu Ma. Even Hu Ma's heart moved slightly before he realized that he was just looking at the gu worm lying in the shadow of the oil lamp on the wall.

"Hmm?"

Following his words, the armored general was also stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, and said angrily: "How dare you, you dare to peep at our conversation!"

In the midst of the stern shout, he actually grabbed at the gu worm.

"No need."

The qingyi gongzi smiled, stretched out his hand and gently raised it, and actually propped up the armored general's hand, and smiled: "This is a Zi Mu Tong Xin Gu (a type of gu worm), even if you pinch it to death now, the words it just eavesdropped on have already been transmitted."

"I can only blame this insect for being refined so exquisitely, even I only discovered it after it had been here for a cup of tea."

"But since you have the ability to refine this kind of gu, you shouldn't be ignorant. Since you let him hear our words, let him consider what to do, and he shouldn't go against the trend."

""

""

Speaking of this, the sound of their conversation gradually became smaller. Hu Ma's eyes were also blurred for a while, and he finally woke up slowly. His eyes were slightly condensed, and he realized the strangeness of the matter.

"Could it be that this is the most direct explanation of fate?"

"As a descendant of the Hu family, I'm just staying in Ming Prefecture honestly, but it has already affected the life and death of the One Coin Church hundreds of miles away…"

"I never thought that the disaster in Shima Town was actually caused by me…"

"Even more unexpectedly, this looks like a disaster for the One Coin Church, but in the interior, it is actually a person from the Ten Surnames who is making a special arrangement to deal with me…"
