Mortal Bones

"What did you say his name was?"

Zhou Gu seemed to be unable to believe his ears, and asked the inspector again.

"My name is Xu Taiping, what's wrong?"

The inspector looked at Zhou Gu with some confusion.

Zuo Ju and Zhou Gu looked at each other in shock.

"Brother Zuo, is it possible that Brother Zhou knows this young man?"

The inspector looked at the two of them curiously.

"No, no, I don't count him as acquaintance, but he was just in the area we were patrolling before."

Zhou Gu concealed it with a smile.

"That can be considered a bit of a friendship. Brother Zhou, you two can consider walking around with this young man more. If he wins again in the next round, he will most likely become the youngest monk to come to the Dragon Gate Society in our Xifeng Pavilion in the past hundred years. It will definitely be reused.”

The inspector smiled at the two of them.

"Brother Liu is absolutely right."

Zhou Gu and Zuo Jupi nodded with a smile, but there was a trace of cruelty in their eyes.

…

After a while.

Xifeng Pavilion Qingxinyuan.

This place was temporarily changed into a rest area for the outer monks who came to participate in the competition.

"It's him. Although he's grown a lot taller, it's still him!"

In a hidden corridor, Zuo Ju pointed to a young man sitting in a square pavilion drinking tea on the other side of the pond, and said very confidently.

The young man drinking tea in the pavilion was none other than Xu Taiping.

"Brother, you and I were harmed by him last time, and that's why we lost our jobs in the Gale Hall and ended up in this situation now. We have to let this bad breath out!"

Zhou Gu said to Zuo Ju excitedly.

"Don't be impulsive. Although the Four Mountains Meeting is held in Xifeng Pavilion, there are mountain patrol mirrors above our heads. If we are caught by the mountain patrol mirrors, you and I will never want to stay in Yunlu Mountain."

Zuo Ju glared at Zhou Gu.

"But brother, if this kid really wins the Four Mountains Association, he will definitely enter Xifeng Pavilion. How should you and I get along with him then?"

Zhou Gu complained a little.

"How can it be so easy to win the Four Mountains Competition?"

Zuo Ju shook his head.

He was discovered as a stumbling block in the Seven Peaks Selection, but he couldn't make up his mind to be expelled from the mountain gate.

"This kid can beat Sun Hu, maybe he got the guidance from Uncle Ninth. With Uncle Ninth's guidance, it won't be difficult to win."

Zhou Gu reminded Zuo Ju.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ju, who was still relatively steady, was a little shaken.

"Brother, I have a plan."

Seeing Zuo Ju's shaken expression, Zhou Gu immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear:

"In the next round, the opponent will still be determined by lottery number. I know the guy in charge of assigning the lottery. We can do a little trick and arrange an opponent for that kid that he can't win. This way, he can stop in this round. , I have to stay at the foot of the mountain for another three years, and we won’t let you and I do what we want then?”

Hearing this, Zuo Ju raised his eyebrows, obviously feeling moved.

"Who do you think is appropriate for him to compete with?"

Zuo Ju asked.

"Qin Yuan!"

Zhou Gu said with a sly smile.

As soon as he heard the name, Zuo Ju's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother, don't worry. People on the mountain don't even pay much attention to the Longmen Society. How can they pay attention to a small Xifeng Pavilion Four Mountains Society?"

Seeing that Zuo Ju was still hesitating, Zhou Gu persuaded him again.

What he said was true. Except for the last Seven Summits, people on the mountain rarely paid attention to the previous competitions.

Firstly, it was because there were so many people that they couldn’t stand it, and secondly, because there was nothing to see, it was just a group of martial artists competing in boxing, and they looked down upon them.

"If you are worried about his relationship with Uncle Jiu and Bai Hong, then there is no need. The Pavilion Master investigated last time and found out that this boy has no background. It is a complete coincidence that Uncle Jiu went to Qingzhu Residence."

"What's more, Uncle Jiu and Bai Hong are in danger now. It's hard to say whether they can come back from the north!"

Zhou Gu added two more sentences.

After hearing these last two sentences, Zuo Ju finally made up his mind, nodded secretly and said:

"Forget it, you and I can't be so unlucky."

In his opinion, there are thousands of competitions in the Four Mountains Association. It is impossible for people on the mountain to pay attention to such an inconspicuous competition, so the probability of the two people being discovered is very low.

After discussing, the two left Qingxinyuan and went out to find the disciple in charge of distributing lots.

But they probably didn't know that even though they were separated from the pavilion where Xu Taiping was drinking tea and resting by a small pond, their conversation was still clearly heard by Fairy Lingyue.

Fairy Lingyue relayed the conversation between the two to Xu Taiping word for word.

"Do you want to find a way to expose these two people's plan?"

Fairy Lingyue was very curious about Xu Taiping's thoughts at this moment.

"No need, Sister Lingyue."

Xu Taiping shook his head.

He drank all the tea in the cup, then stood up and said:

"My goal is the Seven Summits. If I can't defeat Mr. Qin, even if I expose these two people, it will be meaningless."

In addition to this point, Xu Taiping, who has been at the foot of the mountain for three years, knows very well that even if a monk with no background like him complains to Xifeng Pavilion, no one will pay attention to him, and he may be sued in turn. The crime of false accusation.

So it is better to use fists in the ring to shut up the opponent.

…

After a stick of incense.

The short break is over.

A group of monks who had been promoted gathered again in the martial arts field.

Some were confirmed to have been eliminated, but many stayed to watch the excitement. The martial arts arena was once again overcrowded.

"Xu Taiping's opponent is Qin Lao?"

"The little guy's luck is too bad!"

"Looking at the little guy's strength, if he hadn't met Qin Lao, he would definitely have been able to go to Longmen Club."

After the signing was completed, a noisy discussion suddenly sounded in the martial arts arena.

Because of Xu Taiping's outstanding performance in the last game, many people gathered around his arena early.

When they heard the examiner say that Xu Taiping's opponent was Qin Lao, everyone was gloating and regretful.

"I didn't expect those two people to really do it."

Xu Taiping himself acted very calmly, but he was curious in his heart, how did these two people do it.
