Chapter 358 Shaman
late at night.

A black shadow quietly left the inn where Mo Xiaobei and others were staying like a ghost, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

At the same time, shortly after the black shadow left, two masked men in night suits walked out slowly behind a big tree in front of the inn.

Seeing that the black shadow disappeared into the darkness, the two masked men looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, they immediately jumped up together and went straight to the outside of the town.

In the town where the inn is located, more than ten miles to the east, there is a continuous mountain range, the main peak of which is more than 800 meters high, Tenglong Peak, which is located next to the town.

On Tenglong Peak, there are towering ancient trees, numerous cliffs, dangerous roads, and numerous wild animals. Generally, no one would go to this peak without important matters.

And this time.

Under the Tenglong Peak, in a seemingly quiet dense forest, two black figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.

As soon as they landed, the two black shadows immediately turned their heads to look around, as if they were looking for someone.

Have a moment.

I saw one of them frowning and whispering to the other: "Second brother, what's going on? Why doesn't the eldest brother come out? Could it be that the eldest brother has something to do and has changed places?"

"Don't worry!"

The person known as the second brother also frowned. Although he was suspicious, he still looked around and replied, "Third brother, don't you know the temper of the eldest brother? Since he said to meet here, Then we will not break our promise, we just have to wait in peace!"

"That said, but..."

Whoo~!

The third brother was in the middle of speaking, but suddenly heard a slight sound of piercing through the air, and saw in the distance, a person who was also wearing night clothes, lightly touching the treetops, his body was like willow catkins, and was rushing towards this side .

See here.

The two people on the spot didn't hesitate, they moved their bodies, one left and one right, and immediately sank into the dense forest beside them, staring fixedly at the approaching figure.

Landing.

The newcomer looked around and saw no one there, so he immediately meditated, and when his ears moved slightly, he heard the sound of breathing in the dense forest from one left to the other.

After confirming, he smiled, glanced at two places, and said, "Second brother, third brother, why don't you come out!"

The voice fell.

Swish Swish~!
After two soft bangs, the second and third younger brothers who did not know who was coming, so they hid, stood beside the person who came later.

As soon as the two came out, the person who came after immediately asked, "Did they ever do anything?"

"Not yet!"

"Ok!"

Nodding slightly, the person who came later breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just now, I went to their stronghold to investigate and was almost discovered..."

As soon as the words fell, the second and third younger brothers immediately showed worried expressions, and stared closely at the person who came behind, showing concern in their eyes.

Seeing this, he knew that the two of them cared about him, so the person who came later smiled and waved his hand: "Don't take it seriously, brother, this is safe and sound!"

As he said that, the look of the later man changed, and he was quite dignified: "However, it was because of some inquiries that Brother Wei discovered that among this group of people, there is actually a shaman from Houjin hiding among them!
I originally thought that this was just a group of petty thieves who were eyeing the gifts from the leader of Hengshan, but I never thought that they were actually involved in the affairs of Houjin, and there was a shaman who was highly respected in Houjin. It seemed that this matter was not simple. , we must not act rashly! "

heard.

The second brother and the third brother looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes!

Houjin was the regime established by the Jurchen Ministry outside the Guanwai.

Now, the name Hou Jin has not been formally established, but it has spread in a small area, especially members of the six sects and imperial court organizations like them know the name "Hou Jin" very well!
And outside the pass, the Jurchen Ministry has even claimed to be Houjin, but it has not been announced to the world.

As for the disobedience of the Jurchen Ministry, the imperial court is also aware of it, but because the imperial court is now bent on expanding its rule over Tibet, and there are also thieves in the country, there is also the idea that the internal affairs must be settled first. Therefore, the imperial court did not pay too much attention to Hou Jin.

After all, Hou Jin's current strength is not yet ready to subvert the imperial regime.

For various reasons, the imperial court allowed Houjin to be the local emperor outside the pass.

The scholar-bureaucrats in the imperial court did not pay much attention to the Jurchen Ministry, but the Liumen, the organization that controlled Jianghu affairs, paid great attention to it.

Because the people of the Jurchen tribe are tough and martial. It can be said that everyone practices martial arts and their personal force is strong, so the six gates cannot help but pay attention.

What worries the Six Gates the most is the Jurchen tribe, the symbol of spirituality and the religious shamanism that communicates with gods!
Shaman originally meant wise man, Xiao Che, inquiry, etc., and later gradually evolved into the specific name of shaman wizard, that is, the person who dances to the gods. It is also understood as the agent and incarnation of the shaman god in these clans.

They mainly carry out exorcism, divination, begging for blessings, hosting weddings and weddings, etc., and they are priests.

But at the same time, they are priests, but they are also the most powerful military organization of the Jurchen Ministry.

Especially after Nurhachi intended to establish the Houjin regime and broke away from the control of the imperial court, he even gathered all the shamans of the Jurchen Ministry to form a military organization with shamans as the main body to fight against the six gates of the imperial court in the future. mechanism.

In the Chongwu Hall, which is composed of shamans as the main body, every shaman is respected.

At this time, they no longer focus on priesthood, but pay more attention to force, which determines the status and appellation by force.

There are even people who are highly skilled in martial arts but are not members of the Jurchen tribe and join the Chongwu Hall.

In Chongwu Hall, from high to low, it is divided into big shaman, shaman, elder, altar master, etc.!
Regardless of the rest, the great shaman must be an innate master to be a master, and by analogy, the shaman must be a top-notch master, and the elder must be a super-class master...

Now, a shaman appears here, but the three people in the six doors can't help but worry.

The three of them were the triplets who were knocked to the ground by Fang Yang when he went to the six doors for the first time.

They came to Hengshan this time because of a mission. Who would have thought that after the mission was completed, on the way back to Beijing, by chance, they found a group of people with high martial arts skills but who had never shown up in the rivers and lakes, following them The four of them, Mo Xiaobei, have evil intentions.

As for the following of this group of people, the four of Mo Xiaobei didn't know anything about it.

As the three of the Six Doors, they are well informed, so they naturally know that Mo Xiaobei is the disciple of Fang Yang, the adviser of the Six Doors.

With this level of relationship, they, who are already in charge of affairs in the Jianghu, can't let them go.

So, after they discussed, they followed and inquired all the way, on the one hand to protect Mo Xiaobei and his party, on the other hand, to find out the origin and purpose of this relatively unfamiliar group of people who followed Mo Xiaobei!

Unexpectedly, today, they discovered that there was a shaman among this group of people.

As a result, things immediately became extremely difficult. The three of them are only first-rate masters. With the three of them being in the same mind, they form a trio, and they can barely match the super-first-rate masters.

With such strength, it is enough to deal with the group of people who follow Mo Xiaobei, but... now there is an extra shaman, and the shaman is an extremely expert, it is not something the three of them can deal with.

"Brother, what should we do now?" The second younger brother, who was a little worried, looked at the elder brother and asked softly.

If that group of people really had some ulterior motives, once they make a move, then the three of us are not opponents at all, regardless of our own safety, if something happens to Mo Xiaobei, how will we face Grandmaster Fang in the future after waiting for others!
What's more, if Mo Xiaobei has something wrong, Grandmaster Fang must be angry. Once this happens, there will be troubles in the world again!
What's more, this matter has something to do with the Jurchen Ministry, and based on the interpersonal relationship revealed by Master Fang at the succession ceremony as the head of Hengshan, it is really noisy, and the matter may not be easily resolved.

It is not even impossible to force the Jurchen tribe to establish a national title, cede territory and become king, and formally break with the imperial court.

"What else can we do!"

With a sigh, the eldest brother of the triplets looked at his two younger brothers and said quietly, "I have already reported this matter to the headquarters. Now, I can only hope that those people will stop taking action before the headquarters sends someone!"

heard.

I saw the third brother, after thinking for a while, suddenly said: "Brother, we can't just wait for the headquarters to send someone, now according to the information, Fang Zongshi is stationed in Hengshan, only a few hundred miles away.

Why don't you just let the younger brother go up the mountain and ask Grandmaster Fang to come down the mountain! "

"Hey~!"

Hearing what the third brother said, the eldest brother immediately slapped his head and sighed that he was confused. This Grandmaster Fang was right in front of him. He didn't go to report the matter, but he was looking forward to sending someone from the headquarters in the capital far away in the sky!

Really confused at home!

Subsequently.

The three dispersed separately, the eldest and second child among the triplets continued to stare at the group of people, while the third child went to Hengshan non-stop.
