Why is he here?
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked, not because he was worried that Yue Yang would cause trouble, but because he found it strange.
With Jiang Xiaobai's current sensitivity, he had already reached the level of an expert in martial arts novels. Let alone a living person, even if a fly flew over, he would be able to sense it.
However, this fellow had stealthily snuck within thirty centimeters of Jiang Xiaobai. Dozens of soldiers outside did not notice, and Jiang Xiaobai did not notice.
”Good, you dead liar!” As if she had just seen it too, Widow Chen immediately jumped up and stuck a kick onto the old man's face.
”Aiya, beat the old man. I won't get up until I get a hundred thousand!” The old man immediately fell to the ground and began rolling on the ground, moaning.
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, because the old man's voice was clear, it was exactly the same as the voice that suddenly rang out just now, and also exactly the same as the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind multiple times.
Widow Chen wanted to give another kick, but she was suddenly stunned. She squatted down and tried to pull away the old man's hands that were covering his face, then said in confusion: ”You are …”
”I'm an immortal, an alien. Don't you guys always have that kind of suspicion?” The old man sat up and angrily said, ”I knew that you guys would feel uncomfortable speaking in your heads, so I changed my method to borrow a body. I didn't think you guys would dare to hit me!”
”This body is borrowed?” Jiang Xiaobai was even more surprised.
”The upper part of the ghost?” The Widow Chen was frightened and quickly hid behind Jiang Xiaobai.
”Don't ask me who I am, and don't ask me what I am. I've only come to tell you a few things.” The old man also pulled over a military pack and sat on top of it while leaning against the cart: ”First, every Nine Doors can be considered to be of the first level. When one Nine Gates opens, two Nine Gates, three Nine Gates, and so on, I will always come out and meet with you all once to provide some important information.”
So that's how it is, Jiang Xiaobai nodded his head, this was basically what he had guessed.
However, he was different from this old man when it came to naming Portal of Space-time. He simply named them according to the order in which they were opened.
According to this method of naming, the first door could also be called the first door, the tenth door could be called the second door, and the eighteenth door could be called the second Nine Gates.
The old fellow took out a large biscuit from nowhere, gnawed on it and said, ”Secondly, you can't open any more Portal of Space-time within the Yi Zhou. For you to open a Nine Doors in a county, it's such a waste.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said: ”I think so too.”
If the Nine Doors could cover half of the entire county, then it would be a pipe dream to cover the entire country.
”It's good that you know this!” The old man seemed to feel uncomfortable with the bag under his butt. He opened it and pulled a sleeping bag out, saying, ”Third, you are the Sect Leader. You can't take care of every door in every way. Therefore, for every stage, there is a need for a special person in charge, which is also known as Keeper. ”
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Widow Chen, and he was sure that she had already become the Nine Doors's Keeper.
The old fellow yawned and continued, ”The choice of Keeper will depend on the number of people who take over the position of deputy sect leader and the person who obtains the most.”
When one Nine Gates was opened, Widow Chen was already one, one, four, one, six, one, seven and one. She became a Keeper and let nature take its course.
The old fellow actually stuck a leg into the sleeping bag and said, ”Keeper has three privileges. First, he could freely enter and leave all Nine Doors s. Second, he could freely move inside the Nine Doors's connecting line. Third, with the assistance of the Sect Leader, you can bring other people in and out of the portal for two hours. ”
