life and death deed

Chapter 584: True and False Palace Master
Su Jiu's voice is very familiar to me. After all, I have been imitating his voice these past few days!

The masked man in front of me is the real master I have been pretending to be these days, Su Shijiu!

It was also the person who recommended me to join Dongsheng Yinfu in Taishan Treasure Vein!
I really didn't expect that at this juncture, he would be back!

"Who are you? Why did you come to my room so late at night, and why is your voice so familiar..."

Su Shijiu looked at me doubtfully.

He took off his mask, revealing his true face.

The clear and distinct number 'Nineteen' on his forehead told me that Su Shijiu, whose life or death was uncertain, was really back!

"Brother Nineteen, I am Chen Nian..."

After hesitating for a while, I took off the mask on my face and announced my name.

I know very well that since Su Shijiu is back, I must explain everything to him, otherwise it will be difficult to explain anything by then.

"Chen Nian! Is it you?" Su Jiu saw a hint of surprise on his face when he saw it was me. Then, he frowned and said, "Wait, when did you become the envoy of Dongsheng Mansion?"

I shook my head and said: "No, Brother Nineteen, I did not become the envoy of Dongsheng Mansion, but I became the senior brother of Dongsheng Yin Mansion."

After that, I took out the senior brother's jade pendant given to me by the master of Dongsheng Palace.

Su Jiu was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I didn't hesitate any longer and told Su Shijiu everything that happened during these days.

From when Mr. Hong came to Huashui Merchant Guild to entrust his orders before his death, to being appointed as Senior Brother by the master of the palace, to Su Yi's murderous intention, I didn't hide anything about Su Jiu's plan, I told Su Jiu everything!
Tonight, after meeting Su Jiu, I felt an inexplicable sense of stability in my heart. It turned out that there were only two people I had always trusted in Dongsheng Yin Mansion!
One is Mr. Hong who is already dead!
One is Su Shijiu in front of me!
Regardless of whether Su Yi is good or bad, whether Su Jiu is good or bad, whether the master of the palace is real or fake, the only people I should firmly follow in the old age are Mr. Hong and Su Shijiu, who invited me to join the sect!
They are the reason why I joined Dongsheng, and where they are is where I should be!

"This……"

When Su Jiu heard this, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he fell into thinking.

Obviously there were too many things for him to digest in a short while.

"Brother Nineteen, the current situation in Dongsheng Yin Mansion is treacherous, with internal and external troubles. As for Mr. Hong's original entrustment, I still haven't figured out how I can save Dongsheng!"

I stared at Su Jiu closely and said.

Su Jiu finally grabbed my shoulder and said, "Chen Nian, since Mr. Hong has entrusted this important task to you, how to save Dongsheng is also very simple..."

I waited patiently for Su Shijiu to continue speaking.

"No matter whether the Palace Master is true or not, how did Su Yi and Su Jiu betray me, Dongsheng? Chen Nian, you must firmly hold the position of Senior Brother in your hands! Becoming the Palace Master of Dongsheng, me, is to save Dongsheng. !”

What Su Jiu said at this moment was exactly the same as what the Master of Dongsheng Palace said back then.

But at this moment, I was surprised and said: "Brother Nineteen, do you also think that the current master of Dongsheng Palace is fake?"

Su Shijiu was silent for a while, then asked me: "Do you know why I just returned to Dongsheng now?"

I shook my head and then remembered that I hadn't asked Su Shijiu what happened.

I said: "I heard what the master of the palace and Su Jiu said, your life or death outside is uncertain, and you are in danger like Mr. Hong. Brother Nineteen, what dangers did you and Mr. Hong encounter? Are the other three hermit houses against you? Have you started?"

Judging from what happened during this period and what I saw and heard, the other three Yinfu-level forces all have ambitions for Dongsheng Yinfu. They may be Dongsheng’s biggest enemies, and only the other three Yinfu will be. The biggest murderer.

Su Jiu said in a deep voice: "I'm not sure which hermit house did it. Mr. Hong and I were ordered to go to the Xihe Hermitage in the ancient land to the west. As for what the mission was, Mr. Hong and I both I don’t know, I just know that we are going to Xihe Hermitage. However, before the two of us arrived at Xihe Hermitage, we encountered an opponent! There are three people in the middle realm of the Manifestation of Saints!"

"The three manifest saints in the middle realm effortlessly eliminated me and Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong was seriously injured, but luckily encountered the torn space between the ancient land and the human world and escaped, while I was buried alive in the ground!"

"Chen Nian, I don't know if those people are from Xihe Yinfu, but the person who ordered us to go to the ancient land in the west is the master of the palace!"

After listening to Su Shijiu's words, my expression changed.

The master of Dongsheng Mansion didn't even tell Mr. Hong and Su Shijiu what the mission was, and asked them to go to the Yin Mansion in the west.

And after they went to the Hermitage in the west, they were directly murdered!

This makes people doubt whether the master of Dongsheng Palace intends to harm Mr. Hong and Su Shijiu!

"So when I came back at night, I didn't go looking for the Palace Master. I always felt that the murder of Mr. Hong and me had nothing to do with the Palace Master!"

Su Shijiu's tone gradually became more determined.

"Brother Nineteen, since you were buried alive underground, how did you get out? I see that you are not injured now."

At this moment, I suddenly looked at Su Jiu strangely.

Su Jiu's breath was mellow and his face was normal. He didn't look like he had just escaped from being buried alive after being seriously injured.

"I was rescued by a nobleman. No one knows that I escaped from the Hidden Palace in Nishiga except you."

Su Shijiu said with lingering fear.

I concentrated, and after a moment, my eyes suddenly froze!

I remembered something...something I've always wondered about!

Why didn't Su Yi recognize me, but Palace Master Dongsheng could tell at a glance that I was not Su Jiu?
After listening to Su Shijiu's words, I seemed to have found the answer!
The current Lord of Dongsheng Palace is really the culprit who killed Mr. Hong and Su Shijiu. He always believed that Su Shijiu had died by his hands and could not come back alive, so he recognized me at a glance and I was fake!I'm not the real Su Shijiu!
Everything seemed to be going right, I broke into a cold sweat...

The Lord of Dongsheng Palace who holds me in high esteem is really just as Su Yi said that night, he is a pretending Palace Lord and not the real Lord of Dongsheng Palace!

If this is the case, why did he pass on the jade pendant to my senior brother and appoint me as his successor?
My thoughts became more and more confused.

"By the way, the noble man who saved me seems to have saved me for your sake."

Suddenly, Su Jiu continued.

"Ah?" I was stunned and murmured: "For my sake? Brother Nineteenth, are you sure?"

I searched my mind and couldn't find the person Su Shijiu was talking about.

I don't know anyone in Gudiyin Mansion, and there is no one who can respect me.

The only two people I know are Jiu'er and Gu Shen.

The Gu God is not familiar with me, and he will never save Su Shijiu out of consideration for me.

Jiu'er may be interested in me, but she doesn't know Su Jiu either...

"Since you have come to the ancient land, you should meet her. You will know when we meet." Su Shijiu did not tell me much about this person. Then he walked outside the door and said: "Chen Nian, let's go!"

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"If the master of the palace has any problems, you can find out in one place..." Su Jiu said in a deep voice, "The old house you mentioned!!"

My expression moved slightly.

After the master of the palace took me to the old house where the opera girl was hidden, he didn't seem to leave with me.

"Brother Nineteen, the master of the palace may still be in that old mansion." I said.

"It doesn't matter. If he is in that old house, then we turn around and go to the palace master's palace! There must be problems in both places!" Su Shijiu affirmed.

At this moment, I asked in confusion: "What happened to that old house?"

Su Jiu shook his head and said: "I don't know, but what I can tell you is that there is no rule that you have to sleep one night in the old house of the Tang family in Gusu before entering the ancient land! This old house, And there must be some clues about the opera woman you mentioned!"

I am a little surprised.

Tang Jinglin lied to me?Or was it a strange rule deliberately set by the Master of Dongsheng Palace knowing that I was coming?
After a while, I said: "In this case, let's leave quickly!"

With Su Shijiu following me, I felt a little more at ease. At least he was from Dongsheng Yinfu and knew more secrets.

Relying on my vague memory, I found the weed field again and the eerie old house on the weed field!

At this time, Su Jiu stopped in place and frowned.

After a moment, he said: "Chen Nian, do you know where this place is?"

I shook my head.

As soon as I came to this weedy field, all my attention was attracted by the old house in the center. I really didn't pay attention to the weedy field under my feet.

However, after Su Shijiu finished asking this question, I suddenly discovered something and took a breath of cold air.

"This place is the cemetery of my Dongsheng disciples! Since the establishment of Dongsheng, as long as the disciples die, whether they are palace masters or ordinary disciples, they will all be cremated and their ashes will be scattered on this weedy ground!"

Su Jiu said in a deep voice.

I didn't care if he didn't tell me. After all, the ancient land at night faced the underworld, and the Yin Qi was already heavy, so it was difficult for me to find anything easily.

But now, I can indeed find that there are scattered white and gray ink on this weedy ground, as well as a strong smell of death!
"That old house is very problematic! It's the key!" Su Shijiu said again.

I set my sights on the old house and said hastily: "Hurry up and take a look."

After getting closer to the old house, I moved on to Daoyuanliu. After observing for a while, I felt the aura of the master of the palace.

I was surprised and said softly to Su Jiu: "The master of the palace is inside and hasn't left yet!"

After Su Jiu hesitated for a while, he said: "Since the master of the palace is still in this old house, we have to go to the palace first."

"It's so late, and the palace master is still in this old house. Something must have happened, and the opportunity cannot be missed."

But I am very curious as to what the master of Dongsheng Palace is still doing in the old house.

It's impossible, he should just lie down in it and sleep.

"No, Chen Nian, everything has to be done secretly and cannot be discovered by him."

Su Jiu still shook his head.

It can be seen that Su Shijiu seems to be quite afraid of this palace master who is in the lower realm of Qi.

Seeing that he was resolute, I could only obey.

Of course, Su Shijiu's worries are not unreasonable. There are also formations in the old house, which are very dangerous. If you rush to scare the snake, you may suffer serious consequences.

"The Palace Master's palace has a formation, how do we get in?"

I thought of a key and asked.

"Don't you have a senior brother's jade pendant? With this thing, you can also enter the palace master's palace!" Su Shijiu replied to me.

I was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, without saying anything, I put on the mask of the palace envoy, and Su Shijiu and I hurried towards the palace of the palace master.

The two 'Su Shijiu', dressed in the night of the ancient land, walked among the five mountains of Dongsheng...

Soon, Su Shijiu and I arrived outside the Palace Master's palace.

"Let's go in and have a look." I held the senior brother's jade pendant in my hand. This jade pendant faintly released a mysterious aura and intersected with the palace of the palace lord in front of me.

Su Shijiu nodded and pushed the door open.

There was no one in the huge palace, only a few lights were swaying. I had only been with Dongsheng for a short time, and after scanning around, I couldn't see any clues, so I could only look at Su Shijiu.

Su Jiu finally locked his eyes on the bed not far away!
This bed was exactly the one where the master of the palace was lying on.

"There's something weird about the bed." Su Jiu said.

I walked to this single bed and after groping around for a while, I was shocked.

Immediately afterwards, I directly lifted off the sheets on the entire bed!

I saw that this single bed was actually a coffin!
A coffin that is much larger than an ordinary coffin!
Su Shijiu and I looked at each other, with a look of panic in both of our eyes.

After a few breaths, Su Shijiu and I opened the coffin in unison!
The cold air spurted out from the coffin and hit our faces. Inside the coffin lay a kind old man. The old man had his eyes closed and lay peacefully lifeless.

The real Lord of Dongsheng Palace!
The master of Dongsheng Palace really lies inside the coffin!

"That person is really not my Lord of Dongsheng Palace..." Su Jiu's expression was full of shock.

I swallowed dryly, and without replying to Su Jiu's words, I immediately explored the body of the real Lord of Dongsheng Palace.

Lifeless!

It seems that the dead can no longer die!

"How?" Su Shijiu asked me.

I was silent and shook my head.

Su Jiu seemed to be weak for a moment. He closed his eyes and sighed, only to see his fists clenched tightly!

"Who is that person?"

I frowned.

Impersonating the real Lord of Dongsheng Palace and using the coffin of the real Lord of Dongsheng Palace as his bed, what exactly does he want to do!
For the first holy qi machine!
"Brother Nineteen, where is the Five Paths' First Saint Qi Machine? Is that person pretending to be the master of the palace because he is also concerned about the First Saint Qi Machine?" I asked hurriedly.

This is the most precious thing in Dongsheng Hermitage. I can only think of this possibility.

"I don't know. The First Saint Qi Machine has always been in the hands of the Palace Master. No one knows where it is." Su Jiu said. He clenched his fists and said with overwhelming hatred: "Who is he?"

I remained silent, but my heart was extremely complicated.

I never thought that the Dongsheng Yin Mansion had been eroded by other forces a long time ago, including the old man, the fake master, and Su Jiu.

After a long time, Su Shijiu looked at me bitterly and said: "Chen Nian, I'm sorry, I introduced you to Dongsheng because I wanted you to have a better place to practice, but unexpectedly, you got involved in this dispute."

"Brother Nineteen, what are you talking about? From the moment Mr. Hong rescued me, I have been a disciple of Dongsheng. When Dongsheng is in trouble and Mr. Hong is killed, how can I stand by and watch."

I replied sternly to Su Shijiu.

The situation in Dongsheng in front of me was complicated by internal and external troubles, but I did not regret entering Dongsheng.

"Now, apart from ordinary disciples, you and I are the only people who can be sure that they are still loyal to the true master of the palace." Su Nineteen sighed.

I smiled bitterly. Before joining Dongsheng, no one could have imagined that this would be the case.

After a while, I said: "Restore everything here first, and then we go out!"

Su Jiu nodded.

In order to prevent being discovered by the fake master of the palace, I covered the coffin as quickly as possible and restored everything to its previous appearance. Afterwards, Su Shijiu and I returned to his residence.

"Chen Nian, let's do this. You continue to be your Su Shijiu, and I will be your senior brother!"

After returning, Su Shijiu looked at me and said.

I looked at him in astonishment.

To be honest, I didn't react to his idea for a while.

"The fake palace master is determined to kill me. If he knows that I am back alive, I am afraid that he will be killed again. Now unless I leave the ancient land and Dongsheng Wushan, I will not be safe at all. But now Dongsheng Sheng is in danger, how can I leave the ancient land! So I can only temporarily hide in your senior brother's palace. Since the palace master knows that you are not in the palace, he will not go easily. Maybe it is a good place!"

Su Shijiu spoke to me.

I thought about it and found that this is indeed a solution.

I will continue to be Su Jiu. On the one hand, I can contact the fake palace master to see what his plot is. On the other hand, I can contact the palace boss Su Yi and Su Jiu. I can act as a three-faced spy!
I will continue to be Su Jiu, and everything should be safe for the time being!
"Okay, Brother Nineteen, this is the jade pendant that opens the palace," I handed the jade pendant to Su Jiu, and said, "Having said that, you still have to be careful, the fake master of that palace can enter, and besides... …”

I remembered what Su Yi said to me before... He had his own way of breaking through the palace and killing me!

"Don't worry." Su Jiu said, "Chen Nian, it's up to you. Whether Dongsheng can achieve nirvana or not depends on you!"

After saying that, Su Shijiu left the house and headed towards my senior brother's palace.

There are too many things that happened tonight, and I have to digest them.

The riddled Dongsheng Yin Mansion made me understand that it would not be easy to stay there safely.

Fortunately, the appearance of Su Jiu allowed me to see the true face of the fake master of the palace, and it also prevented me from fighting alone in Dongsheng Hermit Palace and completing the task of saving Dongsheng Hermit Palace alone.

Early the next morning, Jiashan's regular morning meeting ended, and everything was as usual. The fake master continued to treat me with great respect, treating me as his own grandson.

If I hadn't seen the corpse of the real Palace Master with my own eyes last night, I might have completely become a supporter of the fake Palace Master without even knowing it!
And just when I returned to Su Jiu's residence, the official Su Jiu came to the door!

"Brother Su Jiu, what's wrong?"

My eyes shrank unnoticeably and I looked at Su Jiu in front of me.

The traitor in the mouth of the fake palace master led me to become Su Jiu. It is still unclear whether he is good or bad and what his purpose is, Su Jiu!
"Ji Ling, to make a long story short, Su Yi is afraid that he is going to take action. Tonight, you must follow the palace master closely! Just in case!"

Su Jiu said solemnly.

I pretended to be shocked.

However, I am extremely weird inside...

I, the mole that Su Yi planted around the palace master, didn't get the news that he was going to take action. How did Su Jiu know?Funny?
