Qi Long and Xue Manman were really not familiar with each other, and their tempers were at odds with each other. Every time they met, they would usually end up in a quarrel.

But the two do have a relationship. This relationship is not a relationship between a man and a woman. In layman's terms, it is an interest organization.

The swords of the Naked Party members and the wealth of Jiudongli are all part of this interest group.

In addition, there are a large number of secret, latent, and unknown relationships within this interest group.

Secret members of various levels use each other and rely on each other to solve problems.

For example, why did Xue Manman mobilize the elite of the Naked Party with just one sentence?

Another example is why Xue Manman, a woman who had a child out of wedlock and was considered a shame in a well-known family, could be in charge of the most important financial power of the Xue family.

How did the bandits from Shi'an Hall go from being a dozen wild bandits in the mountains who couldn't even get enough to eat, to becoming two strong bandits?

This all stems from the establishment of an interest organization more than ten years ago.

It is precisely because of these various people helping each other that many people are where they are today.

Qi Long is considered the founder of this interest organization, but he is not the core. He does not have the kind of terrifying communication skills.

The real core is a woman, who is now the richest woman in Shanbei Province, Jiudong Honggu.

The reason why Qi Rong believed that Xue Manman would help was not because the relationship between the two was really that good, but because the two sides had a tacit understanding of cooperation for more than ten years.

Although the two have not met each other a few times, they have collaborated quite frequently.

It wasn't the only time Qi Lung broke the city and killed members of the Xue family.

In the process of Xue Manman's struggle for power, he helped to overcome many stumbling blocks.

Of course, Xue Manman also provided many of the special medicinal materials needed by the Naked Party to weaken their strength, various weapons, and the Wu family's healing plasters.

For a moment, Qi Lung fell into a certain memory and fell into a rare trance.

When he came out of a certain mood, it was already half dark, and Hong Xiaosi pushed Ha Qie open the door with a tired look on his face.

This guy has been like a lost soul since Egongpo, and he usually doesn't show his face in front of outsiders.

The two looked at each other and felt sad at the same time.

"Have a drink?" Hong Xiaosi suggested.

Qi Lung pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine."

Hong Xiaosi dug out two bottles of wine from somewhere, and the two of them climbed to the top of the building and sat down on the ridge.

The moonlight wasn't sultry, the wind wasn't strong, and it was still a bit hot.

Qi Long poured the spicy wine down his throat, drank half of the whole bottle in one go, and stopped Hong Xiaosi's intention to speak.

"Two grown men, don't complain to each other about misfortune, unless you are sure that the nonsense you talk about will make me happy."

Hong Xiaosi smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, and said: "I have an older brother, the one who was killed by your knife. He has a fiancée, and I have been secretly in love with her for many years."

"The woman broke off the engagement?" Qi Long said simply.

"No, since my brother became useless, both parents agreed that I should marry her instead. She agreed, so I have no objection."

"Congratulations."

"She died on the eve of the wedding."

"Then I have to congratulate you even more."

Hong Xiaosi smiled bitterly: "Then I saw her again in Egongpo. Although she was wearing a mask, I still recognized her at a glance."

"It seems that you are obsessed with your deceased wife."

Qi Long drank the wine in one breath, stood up, and burped, "I'm going down."

"You don't have any stories to share with me?" Hong Xiaosi's eyes turned red and he said unhappily.

"There was a woman. I liked her very much, and she liked me very much. She said she wanted to marry me, and then I ran away."

"The story is over."

Hong Xiaosi was stunned and turned his head, but Qi Lung's shadow was nowhere to be seen.

In the room, the light of the oil lamp came on, and by the firelight, Qi Long squinted his eyes, and there was no trace of alcohol in his eyes.

There were two more things in his hand, the "Dragon Armor Secretary" in the Purple Seal and Jade Book, and the "Treasure Map" left for him by the lantern.

Back in Egongpo, he helped Xiao Bu Hua Gu absorb the dead energy. In addition to the "Dragon Armor Secretary" taking the initiative to evolve the secret dragon vein technique "Feng Long Jia", he keenly felt that there was a slight change in the "Treasure Map".

"Three punishments and four killings, seven injuries and eight difficulties, the disaster caused by the sea god's intrusion. Nine hells, three journeys and five sufferings, return to the Hall of Fortune."

Qi Long looked at the various weird and twisted patterns on the 'treasure map' and said to himself, "What does this mean?"

Even if he didn't mention that lighting a lantern had helped him several times, this 'treasure map' alone was worth Qi Lung's energy to study.

The more I study, the more I feel it is not simple.

So he used his brain a lot along the way and used various methods, but he didn't gain anything.

After folding the kraft paper, a cross-section of the flesh and blood of Kowloon's body revealed a strange dragon with no horns or claws. By the light of the lamp, the strange dragon's eyes seemed to be burning with black fire.

"Nine dragon veins merge into one?"

According to Feng Shui, all dragon veins in the world can be divided into nine types.

This one on my body is the earth dragon vein, which was born from the mountains. But in this painting, nine dragon bodies are cut off. What is the hidden meaning of this?

Qi Lung opened the treasure map again, and saw the strange peaks upside down, the figures with misaligned facial features...

It is certain that this treasure map was not stimulated by death energy, so there is only one possibility.

Qi Lung stretched out his index finger and moved it slightly, and a large number of fine golden scales came out from under the skin.

This scale armor is extremely tough. The seven-star punch of 'Hell Difficulty' only shocked his blood, but did not break a single scale.

The dragon's finger swept over the treasure map, and it felt slightly warm, and the patterns turned around wildly.

Front, back, inverted patterns, stacked graphics, all kinds of weird and misplaced images changed repeatedly, and finally the picture was frozen, and what the finger pointed——

Huge black fingers hanging down from the fire cloud.

‘The changes in the treasure map caused by stimulation can be understood as being affected by the substantive power of the dragon veins in the ‘Fenglong Armor’ state, but it is definitely not just that.’

After all, in various experiments, he also used the dragon evil clone to infiltrate into the picture, but got no results.

‘Except for the power of dragon veins, on Egongpo at that time——’

Qi Long's expression changed, and he even used his day eyes at that time.

The white light in his left eye shone brightly, and a big flaming snake penetrated into the picture, and the fire cloud in the picture suddenly burned violently.

'It's still a little short of the complete Dragon Armor state, and it's also integrated with the royal bloodline of Garuda!'

The index finger nail suddenly became sharper and pointed at the tip of the black finger hanging from the sky.

Suddenly there was a 'click' in my ears.

The next moment, the black finger was divided into four, and four bloody bony fingers split from the black finger. The blood on the fingers ignited the fire cloud. In the blood fire, the nails grew barbs and stabbed fiercely from the treasure map.

Come out and cover Qi Long’s head!

"roar--"

The lights in Qi Long's room went out.

Hong Xiaosi, who was half-drunk after finishing his drink, saw this scene and muttered: "Is this guy going to bed so early? It's not normal."

"Who is the woman he is talking about? I must find out one day."

After saying that, he staggered away.

A full hour passed.

The lights in Qi Long's room turned on again.

Except for the oil lamp that illuminated the 'treasure map', all the furniture and objects in the room disappeared.

It was as if it had been erased out of thin air.

Only things that are tainted with the aura of Qi Long are relatively well preserved.

Clothes, dragon-eating claws, and pills to carry with you.

Qi Long's face was as white as paper. He tremblingly opened the medicine bottle and stuffed the ten sugar pills that he had received as a gift from the lantern, which could increase his energy and blood by 10%, into his mouth, letting the power of the medicine wreak havoc in his body.

After another cup of tea, my heart made a thud and started beating again.

At that moment, it seemed that all his life was captured in the picture, and then he saw a very strange picture.

Countless white maggots were stuffed into an extremely huge mouth, squirming back and forth in the flesh.

And he, including the dragon evil power in his body, also turned into a white maggot, moving forward in the mud of flesh and blood, going up along the passage of his nose, opening his eyelids, and hanging down.

"Turn to Shinto!"

Qi Long's expression became quite strange.

That feeling, combined with Zhao Hei's memory, he understood immediately.

That was a way to bypass the Golden Gate of the Bipolar Secret Cave and enter the cave in another weird way.

This method is "turning to the divine way".

According to the treasure map passed down by the Lantern Family, why is it related to King Li’s artificial dragon vein?

And according to the content in the picture, this ‘road’ is only a small part of it.

There are more secretive, weird, and abnormal ways of turning to God.

The line of characters on the treasure map disappeared, replaced by a line of Tang Dynasty regular script that was bloody but powerful, as if the spirit of a warrior was hidden in it.
