Chapter 677: Pleading

Being stared at by so many eyes in an instant, Ma Jun only felt a huge pressure rushing towards him. Then, without waiting for Yuan Chang to speak, he decisively handed a burden in his hand to Yuan Chang in one go. At the same time, he also handed over a key the size of a little thumb.

"Huh?"

Yuan Chang raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, how could this key be so big? Pang Tong and Cai Yong took out the keys the size of palms, but the shape of this key was a little smaller. Moreover, Pang Tong's key is copper-yellow, and Cai Yong's key is aqua-blue; if you look at it according to the five elements, the copper-yellow key should represent the earth in the five elements, and the water-blue key represents the water in the five elements. And Ma Jun's key is also copper, so the statement of the five elements is incorrect.

As if seeing Yuan Chang's doubts, Ma Jun swallowed his saliva, suppressed his nervous heart, and explained: "Lord, the things in the baggage are the items that the subordinates want to hand over to the lord, and this key is built by the subordinates themselves to hold that thing." Being watched like this, my subordinates were a little nervous, and I forgot to explain for a while, so I ask my lord to forgive me. ”

"Deheng, it's okay, it's not your fault!"

Yuan Chang comforted Ma Jun, and then glared at everyone angrily. Then, Yuan Chang opened the baggage, which contained a box the size of a watermelon, and a copper lock in the middle of the box shook gently, obviously, this box was not something that Ma Jun wanted to give to Yuan Chang, I think it was a box he built himself to store the sandalwood box. Look, people are professional, they all know packaging, like Pang Tong and Cai Yong, there is no packaging at all, and Cai Yong is too much, almost forgetting the existence of this thing.

After opening the box with the key, there was a sandalwood box lying inside that was exactly the same as Pang Tong and Cai Yong's previous ones. Obviously, this sandalwood box is the authentic one. After opening the sandalwood box, there was a dark green key inside, the same size as the key given by Pang Tong and Cai Yong, and the dark green words corresponded to the wood in the five elements. Yuan Chang closed the sandalwood box and swept his gaze to Ma Jun.

It's just that without waiting for Yuan Chang to ask, Ma Jun quickly spoke: "Lord, my subordinates were still in infancy when my father left this thing, and I don't know if there are words left, please forgive me." ”

Well, Ma Jun is no wonder about this, and Yuan Chang naturally won't blame him for this. So, Yuan Chang looked at the five people in Ye Gucheng, and the eyes of the others also turned to them, and the same was true for Ma Jun, just now he was stared at by everyone, and he was nervous for a while, but now it was finally his turn, he wanted to stare back at Ben once, and he didn't give up until his eyes were sour.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Gucheng, as the boss of the five, he wanted to come to the box on him.

However, the five people of Ye Gucheng did not speak, but suddenly knelt down on one knee, the four of them did not speak, and the representative of Ye Gucheng spoke, saying: "Lord, subordinates and others have something to hide, please punish the lord!"

"What's going on? Stand up beforehand and say, there is no need to do this!"

Yuan Chang and the others were confused, but he still let Ye Gucheng and the five people get up first. However, it is obvious that Ye Gucheng and their actions are obviously related to the box.

"Whoa!"

The five of Ye Gucheng responded, and then stood up, Ye Gucheng, Ximen Blowing Snow, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng did not speak, but Sikong Xingxing stood up and said: "Lord Qiqi, this box has always been stored in the vein of his subordinates. This matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother, if it is the lord who punishes him, his subordinates are willing to bear it alone. ”

"Old Five, don't say this kind of thing again in the future. The five of us have been like brothers since our fathers, advancing and retreating together, and if we are guilty, we will naturally be in trouble together. ”

"That's right, the fifth one, you don't look down on the four of us when you say this. ”

"Sikong Mouse, when you say this, you don't treat us as brothers. ”

Before Sikong Xingxing's words were spoken, Ye Gucheng and the four of them retorted dissatisfiedly, but Yuan Chang and the others stood aside inexplicably.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the four of them were arguing and seemed to have forgotten their existence, Yuan Chang had to make a gesture, and Sikong Xingxing and the others remembered that Yuan Chang and they were still beside him, so they knelt down again to ask for sin, and Yuan Chang had to let the five of them get up again.

"I said, we all know that the five of you brothers have a good relationship, but before you want to show your brotherhood, can you tell us about it?"

"The Lord forgives sins!"

Ye Gucheng once again pleaded guilty, and then motioned to Sikong Xingxing to explain. Sikong Xingxing stepped forward and said: "Lord, in fact, the box has always been stored in the vein of his subordinates, and when his subordinates first saw the lord, they knew that the box was to be handed over to the lord. It's just that he has been hiding it and hasn't handed it over, and he asks the lord to punish him. ”

Sikong Xingxing said it very simply and clearly, and Yuan Chang and the others also understood what he meant. However, Yuan Chang didn't get angry because of this, and just asked: "Sikong picks the stars, I naturally know your loyalty." Since you didn't give me the box, apparently for a reason. If I could, I would like to know why, and if it is inconvenient, I will not force it. ”

"Don't dare!"

Sikong Xingxing bowed and saluted, and then said: "This time, the subordinates naturally came to hand over the box to the lord, and at the same time, they also wanted to inform the lord's subordinates of the reason why they did not hand over the box in the first place. ”

"In that case, I should listen to it!"

Sikong Xingxing nodded, and explained: "The five of us brothers are all from one, no matter how many of our ancestors there are, but in the end, there are only five people who can accept our current title, and the purpose of the five people is to find the Rebel and give the box to the Rebel. However, the box has been stored in the vein of 'Sikong Picking Stars', and the other people of the other four veins don't know, if they don't hand over the box to the lord today, the eldest brother they don't know about it at all. ”

With Sikong Xingxing's explanation, Yuan Chang and the others also roughly understood the existence of Ye Gucheng and the five of them.

I don't know how long ago, someone formed the title of Ye Gucheng's five people, or the person who created it directly changed his name to such a title, in this way, as long as he crossed over, he would inevitably have some thoughts when he saw these five names. And after being passed down from generation to generation, the title of the five people of Ye Gucheng cannot be said to be a title, and it has become their name after such a long time. Their purpose is to find the Rebel and give the box to the Rebel. Moreover, Sikong Xingxing also said that no matter how many children they have, only one person can inherit the name, maybe there are too many people who don't want to inherit, and there will be contradictions. Obviously, there were other anti-heaven people before Yuan Chang, maybe Ye Gucheng and their ancestors had already had contact with each other, but, since they had contact, why didn't the key be handed over to the anti-heaven person, which is incomprehensible?

However, Yuan Chang and the others did not disturb Sikong Xingxing, and quietly listened to Sikong Xingxing's narration.

"The division of labor of each of the five of us is different, the eldest brother is responsible for the broken queen, the second brother is responsible for the attack, the third brother is responsible for covering, Lu Xiaoji is responsible for camouflage, and our line is responsible for concealment. One is that we are looking for the Rebel, and the other is to give the box to the Rebel. If you meet someone from the Shuntian Alliance during this period, then, according to our different division of labor, we must ensure that the descendants of the five veins can have heirs left, and at the same time ensure the safety of the box. If it is a last resort, then the people of our vein will have to give up everything that is hidden with the box and cannot be seized by the people of the Shuntian Alliance, and then gather the five veins and start to complete the will of our ancestors again. ”

You don't need to experience it personally, just by listening to Sikong Xingxing's narration, you can imagine the hardships of Ye Gucheng and their five ancestors. To find the rebel in the vast sea of people, and the rebel is not always available, according to Yuan Chang's estimate, it seems that it will take a hundred years for the rebel to appear, and sometimes even hundreds of years before there is one. However, the ancestors of the five people in Ye Gucheng did not give up, they were still waiting and searching, and at the same time, they also had to avoid the pursuit of the Shuntian Alliance, thinking about it, they could also know that with the power of the Shuntian Alliance, Ye Gucheng and their ancestors must have encountered it.

"And the reason why the subordinates did not hand over the box to the lord at the beginning is because the ancestors of the subordinates have explained: to hand over the box to the other party, first, the rebel must face up to his identity and have the determination to fight against the Shuntian Alliance; secondly, he must be able to see the hope of success, otherwise, the box cannot be handed over, and it must be passed on from generation to generation until we end. Originally, although the subordinates knew that the lord was a rebel, however, the subordinates could not be sure whether the lord faced up to his identity, but today, the subordinates already know that the lord regards his identity and has the determination to fight against the Shuntian Alliance, and the subordinates also believe that the lord can succeed, so they are willing to present the box. If the Lord punishes him, his subordinates are willing to bear it. ”

The reason for picking up stars has been made very clear, and the so-called facing up to one's identity is obviously to have the courage to say one's identity. Just tonight, Yuan Chang announced his identity in front of his subordinates, if he didn't even have this kind of burden and trust, how could he make people believe you? And the determination to fight against the Shuntian Alliance is also very understandable. Not all the rebels will think about rebelling against the Shuntian Alliance, if it is not a person, wouldn't it make the ideals that Ye Gucheng and they insist on come to naught. There are not a few rebels, but many people don't think too much about it, they may just want to live their lives peacefully, and whether or not to confront the Shuntian Alliance is not something they have to do. Everyone has their own ideas, and naturally they can't force it. Obviously, this is to look at the idea of Sikong picking stars, if he thinks you can succeed, he will hand over the box, and if he thinks that he will not succeed, then he will naturally not hand over the box. After all, this is something that their ancestors guarded, and they will definitely not hand it over casually, if it is handed over to a person who has no hope of success, then the blood and sweat of their ancestors will be in vain.

"Sikong Xingxing, what you did was not wrong, but you just did what your ancestors ordered, what is the crime?" Yuan Chang smiled lightly, comforted him, and then said in high spirits: "Moreover, now that you are willing to hand over the box to me, it means that you think we can succeed, and this is the best answer you gave me." In this case, why should I punish you? In the future, we will work together to eradicate the Shuntian Alliance and restore the world to Qingming!"

"Subordinates should follow to the death!"

Under the infection of Yuan Chang, everyone was full of confidence.

Everything was said and done, and Sikong Xingxing did not procrastinate, so he handed over the box he kept to Yuan Chang. After opening the box, there is a fiery red key, which corresponds to the fire in the five elements. Now that the wood, water, fire, and earth have been gathered, we are just missing the last golden key. There is a key to reveal the secret, but with the last key, Yuan Chang doesn't have much hope. When Pang Tong offered the first key, Yuan Chang thought that the other keys would fall from the sky, but he didn't expect that his wish would come true, and he really dropped three more keys. Now that everyone has the key has come, since no one has come, obviously, the last key may not be in the hands of his subordinates, as for whether he can find it, it is estimated that it really depends on luck.

"Lord, the ancestors have also explained, if you collect the five keys, you can go to the land of Kunlun Mountain, and you will be able to uncover the secrets that the rebels want to know. ”

Hearing this sentence added by Sikong Xingxing, Yuan Chang almost burst into tears.

The ancestors of Pang Tong, Cai Yong and Ma Jun didn't leave anything behind, only such a key. And what is even more unreliable is Cai Yong, who almost forgot about it. Perhaps their ancestors had an explanation at first, but if they did so in the inheritance, they did not give an account. Now, fortunately, Sikong Picking Stars has finally given some good news, at least knowing where to go to uncover the secret after collecting the five keys.

"There is good news, but there is no clue to the last key. We can't blatantly look for the key, otherwise, if the Shuntian Alliance knows, I'm afraid they will do everything they can to deal with us. Now, we can only secretly look for the last key, and it is up to God to favor us and let us uncover this secret. ”

Yuan Chang said in a deep voice, however, in the dark, Yuan Chang had a feeling that the last key would be found by him and let him reveal the secret. Perhaps, this is the feeling brought to him by Yuan Chang's seventh sense, and perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Sikong Jiexing feels that Yuan Chang has the hope of success.

"Whether or not we can find the last key, Suncheon Alliance will inevitably be our opponent. Therefore, it is imperative that we work hard to develop our forces, so that we will have more strength to fight against the Suncheon Alliance. Next, we must first welcome back the Son of Heaven, and second, speed up and strengthen the advancement of the new law reform. I believe that the final victory will be ours!"

"Victory!"
