Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1573 Next, it’s time to let him out
Changsun Tao lifted up his clothes and sat next to the fifth elder.

Yun Fei and Jiang Jingqiu stood silently on one side.

The fifth elder glanced at the two of them: "Isn't it necessary? Could I cause any harm to His Highness?"

Changsun Tao smiled nonchalantly: "You should be cautious. After all, the fifth elder is not an ordinary person."

The fifth elder moved, and then said: "I know the methods of entering and exiting the forbidden area, but I don't know anything else."

Changsun Tao said: "How to get in and out? It is very important."

The Fifth Elder said slowly: "The Forbidden Territory of Southern Border has been protected by high priests and elders for several generations and has long become a sacred territory."

"It is more like a death realm than a holy realm. Except for the high priest and a few elders, it is not allowed to enter at all."

"The terrain is difficult and dangerous, the environment is bad, and the roads are confusing and obstacles are just one of them. There are Gu formations there, and ordinary people will die if they touch them."

After a pause, the fifth elder continued:

"Therefore, there will be a test before we take over the position of elder, and that is that the incoming fifth elder will plant a special kind of worm in our bodies."

"If the Gu survives, then the previous elder will step down with peace of mind and designate us as his successor."

"If the Gu worm cannot survive, there will be many accidents, and the loser will not be able to succeed as the elder."

Changsun Tao chuckled: "So, every saint must have a poison in her body, that's why you want Miss Lingling to succeed the high priest."

The fifth elder nodded: "In southern Xinjiang, the saint is just a symbol of nobility and does not hold real power. The power is in the hands of the high priest and the five elders."

"Before the saint becomes the high priest, she will not touch the core power of Southern Xinjiang. The reason why the high priest occupies a place in Southern Xinjiang is because the saint will learn the knowledge after entering the forbidden area and becoming the high priest. Restrain the abilities of our elders."

"Naturally, you have power. It is not easy to cultivate a saint, and it is even more difficult to select a saint."

"Although the high priest personally selects her, the conditions are probably to see the saint's qualifications and whether she can learn the high priest's secret techniques."

"Of course, there are worms in the saint's body. Even if the saint is deposed, she still has the ability to enter the forbidden area. So if you want to enter the forbidden area, let Lan Lingling take you there."

"However, the Life Master lineage has mastered the unique skills in the world. I believe that the Life Master can also enter and leave the forbidden area unimpeded."

Changsun Tao said: "Thank you very much, Fifth Elder, for knowing everything and for explaining everything."

The fifth elder raised his eyebrows: "How do you know what I'm telling you is the truth?"

Changsun Tao said: "Because the fifth elder knows in his heart that if you lie to me, I will come back to bother you, so the fifth elder will definitely not lie."

The Fifth Elder laughed loudly, and asked Chang Sun Tao with great interest: "Then, Your Highness, Taishu, can you tell me when you can put us back?"

Chang Sun Tao did not answer.The fifth elder smiled secretly: "I believe that rather than letting Lan Lingling take the risk, you would rather have the five of us take the lead for you."

Changsun Tao denied what he said: "Although I have this intention, I am not entirely motivated by selfish motives. This matter concerns Southern Xinjiang and Daqin, and several elders cannot escape responsibility."

After saying that, Changsun Tao stood up and left.

The fifth elder said nothing and watched as Chang Sun Tao's back disappeared from sight.

In the aisle, Yun Fei praised: "These fifth elders are really interesting."

Changsun Tao nodded: "He is a smart man and a wonderful man. As long as he has some ambition, I am afraid that there will be no place for the other elders."

Yun Fei asked: "How does your Highness know that he has no ambition?"

Changsun Tao said: "Maybe it's a feeling."

Yun Fei asked again: "When will Your Highness plan to go find the Great Elder?"

Changsun Tao said: "There is no rush. In fact, the information given to us by the fifth elder is basically enough. The rest of the people will be left alone for a while. The more urgent they are, the better the terms can be negotiated."

Yun Fei smiled and said: "I think it will be easy to negotiate with the third elder."

Jiang Jingqiu said: "The easier someone is to talk to, the less valuable the information they know will be. In this case, there is no need to go to him at the beginning."

"Put him at the end so that he won't ask for an exorbitant price. Then we don't have to provide too many benefits and we can get the news out of him."

Yun Fei smiled knowingly and didn't mind Jiang Jingqiu's refutation.

Changsun Tao nodded: "What Miss Jiang said is absolutely true. What we have to do now is..."

He didn't say anything clearly, but turned his gaze towards the stone room where the fortune teller was.

It's time to release the life master. If he is kept locked up like this, firstly, the life master will not be able to carry out his plan personally. Secondly, the people who rescue the life master will only consume the power of Taishu Mansion.

There is really no need to detain such a dangerous person here.

Jiang Jingqiu saluted Yingying: "Jingqiu is at your mercy."

Yun Fei glanced at her, as if he felt that she didn't have to be so cautious all the time, as there were always a lot of red tape.

However, Jiang Jingqiu has never been disrespectful in any way.

It's not that she thinks Lu Mingyu and his wife are in trouble, but because she knows that the king of this world has the absolute power of life and death.
