Yan Li snapped his fingers. "Although they wear the coat of the 'underworld', this is the essence."
"You said that Heishan needs to constantly gather money. Why is that?" Ye Qing asked.
Yan Li shrugged. "Bribing the ministers with real power in the court, raising cultivators, enjoying themselves, and so on, or for other purposes. In short, it requires a lot of money …"
Everyone was silent. This was an irrefutable fact, and Zhang Huanfa was a living example.
"The dynasty has long been rotten, and I can only trust you." Ji Tiansheng didn't avoid it and said frankly, "So I hope you can open a gap in Heishan …"
"The problem is …" Before she finished, she was interrupted by Yan Li. "The problem is, is the underworld equivalent to Heishan? Can destroying Heishan really solve the problem? "
"Actually, I don't think so." He didn't wait for her to answer. "Look at the world we live in. Why is there an alternation of light and darkness? Light undoubtedly comes from the sea of stars, so before the sea of stars was born, how did the people on earth live? Darkness has existed since ancient times. Heishan is just a group of bandits, but the underworld does exist. I think Your Majesty needs to face more than just Heishan. "
"I understand what you mean," Ji Tiansheng said expressionlessly.
Shen Liuyun glared at Yan Li. "We're talking about Heishan now. You just need to provide the plan. Why are you talking more and more nonsense?"
"Whatever you say, sir." Yan Li spread his hands and then continued, "Then this Ouyang Xiu's house is made of pure gold. I estimate his assets to be worth about ten thousand."
"Only ten thousand gold?" Ma Guanshan was stunned.
Ten thousand gold was a hundred thousand silver. For the people present, it was indeed not a lot. Even Hai Zhangjin could take it out casually.
Yan Li said lazily, "Ten thousand Shadowless Starsilk."
Ma Guanshan gasped. "One is equal to ten qian, and one qian is equal to a hundred taels of gold. Isn't that equivalent to millions of gold and billions of silver? This is what it truly means to be a billionaire! "
"Compared to the Silver Moon Villa, it pales in comparison." Yan Li said, "The failure of Silver Moon Villa has contributed greatly to the national treasury. Black Mountain has undoubtedly suffered a great loss, so they are even more desperate for a fat sheep. My plan is to pretend to be a 'fat sheep' and lure Black Mountain to take the bait so that he will bring us in. "
"What should I do exactly?"
"Before this, what did you think Black Mountain was? Or rather, what kind of business was Black Mountain running?"
Chang Shan said uncertainly, "A brothel? Slaves? "
"Wrong." Yan Li shook his head. "The real business of Black Mountain is to provide customers with 'satisfaction'. As long as you are in Black Mountain, whatever desire you have, it will be satisfied. Whatever you can't think of, there is nothing they can't do. Correspondingly, there is a huge price to pay. However, as I said earlier, Black Mountain pays attention to the people who are capable of protecting themselves or are still of value, such as top assassins, powerful cultivators, and ministers with real power. As for the 'fat sheep', or the people who lack the ability to protect themselves, they treat them in a different way."
"What method?"
"Let's bet."
"Bet?"
Yan Li said, "In the clues left by Gui Thirty-Three, he specifically mentioned two names. One of them is called Gambling King Li Wanzhou. Do you remember?"
Tang Sanghua said, "The legend of gambling who has never been defeated."
"That's right." Yan Li smiled inexplicably. "This person was used to deal with the 'fat sheep'. I think Ouyang Xiu Nan lost his family's wealth to him, so Black Mountain had an excuse to transfer it without arousing the suspicion of the authorities."
"Won't he report it to the authorities?"
"He is most likely dead or trapped in Black Mountain," Yan Li said.
"What's your plan?" Ji Tiansheng asked.
Yan Li said, "There are masters of disguise in the imperial court's Hall of Worship, right?"
"Yes," Ji Tiansheng said.
"Then it's easy. First, we have to change our appearance." Yan Li smiled mysteriously. "Then pretend to be a fat sheep with good gambling skills. After sneaking into Black Mountain, the first step is to replace Gambling King Li Wanzhou."
"How do we replace him?" Tang Sanghua asked suspiciously.
"It's very simple. Of course, we have to beat him and break his legend. Black Mountain will certainly keep the better me," Yan Li said confidently.
"Hey, he claims to have never been defeated. You have never gambled before. How can you beat him?"
"Who told you that I have never gambled before?"
Ji Tiansheng said, "It's a good thing that you are confident, but don't be conceited. This trip is very dangerous … But what's the point of replacing him?"
"This is the fastest way to sneak into the core edge of Black Mountain. In order to find the other person mentioned in the clues."
"Gui Thirty-Three?"
Yan Li nodded. "This person helped Gui Thirty-Three complete the clues. After finding him, we can locate the exit through his guidance."
"Didn't you say before that there must be a master guarding the exit?"
"So, this matter must be entrusted to the strongest person. I guarantee that reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible, otherwise …"
Yan Li said expressionlessly, "Black Mountain is where the vanguard will be buried."
The relaxed atmosphere was immediately replaced by a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that this trip was really dangerous. Even Yan Li, who had passed through so many life and death challenges, said such words. Everyone could not help but feel a layer of haze rise in their hearts.
"No, why don't we send more masters …" Chang Shan hesitated.
"Do you think there is a way to sneak into Black Mountain with more people?" Yan Li looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "It's hard to say if we can enter Black Mountain with just these people."
"Isn't it too dangerous?" Chang Shan's Adam's apple moved.
"You can choose not to go if you are afraid." Ma Guanshan smiled coldly. "That woman is one of the masters of Yan Luo Dian. If I don't take revenge, how can I protect my country? I must go to Black Mountain!"
"Ai, even Brother Ma has such a competitive side. I will not retreat." Lianhai Changjin said.
"I will go too." Ye Qing glanced at Ma Guanshan. "If this vulgar martial artist is not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
"You really won't change." Ma Guanshan said unhappily.
"If you call me a woman again, I will beat you to death." Ye Qing glared at him.
"I still have an unfinished business in Black Mountain." Tang Sanghua said.
Shen Liuyun said, "They will never think that the person who broke through the exit would be a real person. Once we find Ghost Thirteen, I will be responsible for bringing in reinforcements."
"That's great. Sister Drifting Cloud is so reliable." Tang Sanghua said with a smile.
Chang Shan gritted his teeth. "Then, then I can only risk my life to accompany you. Who asked me to replace Master Zhan's position."
Yue Er stood up and raised her hands. "And Yue Er, Yue Er will also go. We will destroy the bad guys in Black Mountain and avenge Aunt Lan, Sister Miao Yue, and Uncle Mute."
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
Yan Li turned to Ji Tiansheng. "Apart from these people, I need one more person."
"Who?"
"Li Yong."
"Isn't it too eye-catching? I mean, many people recognize him. "
"Just dye your hair too."
Yan Li didn't mind. "There is a very important thing to pay attention to when entering Black Mountain, and that is' Granny Meng's Soup. ' From the clues left by Ghost Thirty-Three, once you drink Granny Meng's Soup, your life and death are no longer in your control. "
"Then what should we do? Didn't Ghost Thirty-Three say that we must drink it before entering Black Mountain? Otherwise, we won't be allowed to pass? "
Yan Li smiled, "I wonder if you have heard of a Gu worm called 'Thousand Threads'?"
"Once it is planted in the human body, it will spin a web and reproduce inside. Its reproduction speed is very fast, and it only takes half an incense stick of time to weave a nest in the human body." Lianhai Changjin waved his fan and smiled. "Is Brother Yan talking about it?"
"That's right. The larvae of this Gu are as small as dust and can easily enter the human body. As long as you can control it, you can prevent Granny Meng's Soup from entering the stomach. Perhaps you can find it in the Xiao Pavilion. Leave it to me and Tang Sanghua."
"You really don't let people rest." Tang Sanghua harrumphed.
"Everyone is dismissed. Go back and prepare. We will begin tomorrow morning."
… …
"You are so amazing. Even a powerful woman like Ji Tiansheng has become your vassal and is at your beck and call." Tang Sanghua said with great admiration.
The two walked on the street like an immortal couple, but it was hard to guess what they were thinking.
"You have a bit of an ulterior motive." Yan Li put his hand behind his head. "I didn't expose your identity in the slightest. She only agreed to my plan because she couldn't find a better way. Moreover, the one risking her life is me, a bandit. It has nothing to do with her, so why not? "
"Who knows." Tang Sanghua said meaningfully. "Don't you think she has changed?"
"You speak as if you know her very well." Yan Li smiled coldly.
"The environment I grew up in has made me very sensitive to the changes in people's hearts …"
"I have no interest in knowing about your past." Yan Li interrupted, "Now, it's time for you to tell me what the Thousand Thread Deathly Mask is."
"What a heartless man." Tang Sanghua blinked. "You didn't ask just now because you didn't want them to know? Could it be that you are guarding against them? Let me guess, is there a problem with Yue Er's identity? "
"Forget it if you don't want to say." Yan Li couldn't be bothered with her.
"I didn't say I wouldn't say," Tang Sanghua said angrily. "You really aren't a man. What's wrong with talking to her? Why are you so impatient? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
When she realized that Yan Li wouldn't buy it, her eyes were filled with resentment. She had to say, "The 'Thousand Threads Deathly Mask' was cultivated using the 'Heavenly Death Scripture of Yi'. It's a very inhumane technique."
"Heavenly Death Scripture of Yi?"
Tang Sanghua's expression changed. "It's the same as Dong Qing's Big Obsidian Heavenly Saber. It's a terrifying demonic technique …"
"What's so terrifying about it?" Yan Li said disapprovingly. "It's still killed by the rising sun."
Tang Sanghua shook her head. "What Dong Qing cultivates is the power of 'resentment', one of the six great karmic powers. Once he has the six great karmic powers, he will transform into the Big Obsidian Heavenly Demon King. His power …"
She suddenly stopped talking and paused for a while before saying, "Yan Li, the world is much bigger than you think. If you judge it with your inherent common sense, you will die a tragic death sooner or later."
"Jambu, is it?" Yan Li said lightly.
Tang Sanghua smiled and avoided the topic. "The Heavenly Death Scripture of Yi can condense Vital Qi into threads called soul threads. Once they enter a cultivator's spirit platform, they can control their actions like controlling a puppet. If the soul threads are placed in a cultivator's body, they can absorb the nourishment of their flesh and blood day and night. Finally, they can devour their spirit and condense into ghost threads. What is woven from ghost threads is the 'Thousand Threads Deathly Mask'."
"Because ghost threads contain the essence of a cultivator's cultivation, the person who wears the 'Thousand Threads Deathly Mask' doesn't need to cultivate to possess the lifetime comprehension of the cultivator who condensed ghost threads."
At this moment, Yan Li's expression really changed.
