A moment later, I met the lady of the city lord of Bowang City, Mrs. Wang, in the living room. "Li Long, go outside. I'm fine here with this Taoist leader. Mrs. Wang said.

"Yes, ma'am. Li Long hesitated, but he still exited the room and closed the door tightly.

"Madam Wang, this is what the treasure refining uncle entrusted me to give you. With that, I placed the box in front of Mrs. Wang's desk.

Mrs. Wang opened the box and looked at it for a long time, and asked, "Did he say anything else?"

"He asked me to tell you that he went to the 100,000 Mountains, and nothing else. I replied.

"Why do you want to help him deliver things?" asked Mrs. Wang.

"Xiaodao's name is You Yuzhen, and I found Uncle Lianbao to help me refine a wine gourd. You see, this is it. I showed her my wine gourd and continued, "I don't have any money to pay for it, so Uncle Lianbao asked me to help him send something to pay for it. ”

Mrs. Wang looked at the wine gourd carefully and said, "Is the formation diagram on this also drawn by him?"

"Oh, I drew the array diagram above, and it was because the treasure alchemist of the Treasure Pavilion couldn't engrave it, so I went to find my uncle. I said.

"The Taoist is a monk, so it's not good to talk big, right? Do you know that the formation of your wine gourd is composed of several layers of formations?" asked Madame Wang.

"It's just one layer, I finally put the three formations together. Originally, these three formations were very complicated, and if they were layered, they would be even more unstable. I said.

"What?!" Mrs. Wang took the wine gourd and observed it carefully for a long time, and said to me: "Seeing that the Dao Elder is young, I didn't expect that the formation attainment is so profound, it was my clumsy eyes that made the Dao Elder smile." Mrs. Wang returned the wine gourd to me and said, "Does the Dao Chief know what this box contains?"

"I'm the one in charge of delivering things, and I know what's in the box. Okay, I've got the stuff in your hands now, and I'll take my leave if there's nothing to do. "I got up and left.

"Daoist, please wait a moment. Mrs. Wang stopped me as if I was about to say something, but I seemed to have concerns.

"Madame Wang, do you have any other orders?" I asked.

Madame Wang lowered her head and pondered for a moment, as if she was making an important decision, then looked up at me and said, "Please wait a moment, Daoist." Mrs. Wang shouted outside the door again: "Li Long, go and bring Xiang'er over." ”

"Yes, ma'am. After a while, Li Long walked in with the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl he had seen.

Mrs. Wang said, "Xiang'er, haven't you always wanted to know who your biological father is? ”

Li Long hurriedly said, "Madam, please think twice." I also said, "Mrs. Wang, this is your family matter, I won't listen to it, right?"

"Please also ask Daoist You to listen to me, now that the entire Bowang City is surging, I really can't find anyone I can trust. Mrs. Wang said.

I said, "That... Madam Wang, I don't seem to be the best person to trust me, do I? If you have anything important, I'd better leave it to this Master Li. ”

"Hear me out first, Chief. Madame Wang continued: "My ancestor was once a genius disciple of the Thousand Machines Gate, and later left the Thousand Machines Gate to set up his own portal, and created another set of exquisite puppet techniques on the basis of the Thousand Machines Gate puppet technique. Although the inheritance has not been broken in my generation, I am the only descendant left. ”

"Xiang'er, this is also the reason why I learned puppet art from you. You Dao Chief, the person who refined the treasure for you was a top treasure refiner in Yanyun Country when he was young, and his name was Hao Ze. Fleeing from Yanyun Country because of offending the powerful, we met in Cangqi Country. Since my ancestral puppet technique was created by absorbing many advantages of alchemy, so at first we were trying to further combine alchemy and puppetry, and then we slowly got together, and then after several years of hard work, we finally got some improvement, but at this time, Hao Ze's enemy found him again. ”

"After some twists and turns, Hao Ze had no choice but to leave me alone in a safe place to lead away from the enemy's family, but at that time Hao Ze didn't know that I was four months pregnant. Then I met my husband Sun Shang by many coincidences, my husband has always treated me sincerely, and I finally married Sun Shang for the sake of Xiang'er in my womb. ”

"Daoist Chief, what you bring is the result of Haoze's research in the past ten years, if combined with my experience over the years, I believe that I will be able to create a new set of top-level exercises in the future. Now the situation in Bowang City must have been heard by Daoist Chang You, in fact, the current predicament of our mother and daughter is even worse. ”

"Since Xiang'er is not Sun Shang's biological daughter, I can't take the initiative to participate in this turmoil, and our mother and daughter can only passively be caught between the two factions. What's more serious is that Xiang'er is a natural holy feather spirit body, and Sun Yijie has always wanted to take Xiang'er for himself and use it as a furnace to improve his own cultivation. Sun Zhi attaches more importance to my ancestral puppetry. ”

I asked suspiciously: "Isn't it the practice of the Devil's Way to use women as furnaces and forcibly collect yin to supplement yang? Is this Sun Yijie a person in the Devil's Dao?"

"Everyone has selfish desires, and under the gorgeous surface, how many people really care, what is right and what is evil?" Li Long said.

I looked at Xiang'er quietly and found that although she looked difficult to accept so many things for a while, her emotions were well controlled, and she just kept her head down quietly. For a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, it is rare to have such a heart.

"What do you want me to do, ma'am?" I asked.

"I believe in Hao Ze's vision, he can entrust you with such an important matter, which is enough to show his trust in you, so I also choose to believe in you. Saying that, Mrs. Wang stood up and bowed deeply to me and said, "At present, only you can break the current predicament of our mother and daughter. ”

I quickly got up and said to Mrs. Wang, "Mrs. Wang, don't do this, tell me what you want me to do first." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "I want to hand over these achievements of Haoze to you, along with my experience and exercises, and I just ask you to take Xiang'er out of this place of right and wrong." ”

I took a deep breath, although this Bowang City was only a remote fiefdom of the Cangqi Kingdom, it was far less powerful than the Ji Wanjiao I had offended before. But if I take the two things they want most, then they will definitely fight with me. I said to Mrs. Wang, "Let me think about it first." ”

Yes, it's a thought, not a divination. If everything is calculated by divination, then what do you need to do? What kind of person you expect yourself to become, and what kind of values you have, all of these determine the choices you make when facing things. Many times there is no right or wrong choice, only what is suitable for you and what you want to do.
