Chapter 90: A Good Show (1)
"Zhuge Zixin?"
Sha Li looked at the beautiful woman dressed in purple who walked into the hall, and the Zhuge family who came in with her, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhuge Zixin looked around the hall, his gaze turned from Vermilion Bird Terrace to the woman she called Luo Hongshao, and then looked at Xiao Dan and Wu Lone, who were lying down, and finally landed on Sha Li.
And the black-robed man with the cloak on his head has long since disappeared.
She took action to set up a noise barrier in the hall, and then said to Sha Li: "Sha Xiaoyou, you are injured, and you should have sent someone to send you back to rest." It's just that everything is not over here, so I'll ask you to wait for a while. I will make amends to you afterwards. β
Sha Li slandered in his heart: "Sha Xiaoyou......?"
But he still said: "Senior Zixin is polite." β
Zhuge Zixin smiled and nodded, then turned to Luo Hongshao.
"Luo Hongshao, why are you here at such a late hour? Although you are close to your uncle and mother, the Vermilion Bird Hall is not the place you should be. β
Luo Hongshao sat on the ground, as if she was healing her wounds with luck, and turned a deaf ear to Zhuge Zixin's words.
"Oh, pretend not to hear?" Zhuge Zixin turned to face Mingyue and said with a hint of mockery, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you're waiting for him to come, right?"
"He's the best to come, and tonight's show wouldn't be interesting without him. β
Luo Hongshao, who had been closing her eyes to recuperate, opened her eyes at this time. I don't know if it's because of Zhuge Zixin's words, or if I've noticed something.
"It's not slow!"
Zhuge Zixin looked at Zhuge Zhengchen and the people around him who hurried in the distance, and said leisurely.
After a while, Zhuge Zhengchen also walked into the hall. Obviously, he had already sensed Zhuge Zixin and everyone from afar, so there was no surprise on his face.
However, if he behaves unexpectedly, it will make people think that there is a ghost.
After Zhuge Zhengchen looked around the audience, he asked Zhuge Zixin, "Eldest sister, what happened?"
"Oh, don't you know? That's right, I want to know. Why don't you ask the woman directly? Zhuge Zixin pointed at Luo Hongshao.
Zhuge Zhengchen glanced at Zhuge Zixin, really walked towards Luo Hongshao, and asked:
"Aunt Hong, why are you here? Who hurt you like this?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Zixin snorted softly.
Luo Hongshao glanced at Zhuge Zhengchen, and then glanced at Sha Li. But even if she didn't have this obvious action, Zhuge Zhengchen already knew it.
"I passed by the Suzaku Hall and saw these people sneaking into the Suzaku Hall. Without saying a word, he moved his hand. Now, it seems to be a misunderstanding. β
When Sha Li heard this, a playful look appeared on his face. He secretly said in his heart: "Auntie, you have lived a lot of age, and you can't think of such a clumsy statement." However, what did she mean by the transmission just now? Is it for me to cooperate with her? He really thinks that I am also here to steal the Vermilion Bird Stone. β
"Misunderstanding, Luo Hongshao, you have to find an excuse and find someone smarter. Because of a misunderstanding, you will face each other in life and death?"
Don't say that Zhuge Zixin doesn't believe it, and even Zhuge Zhengchen doesn't dare to believe it. Not to mention those Zhuge family members who are standing on the sidelines watching the play.
"Sha Xiaoyou, tell me, what's going on with all this?"
Zhuge Zixin asked Sha Li.
Sha Li had already known that Zhuge Zixin would ask such a question, and as for how to answer, he already had a reason. After all, when it comes to all this, he doesn't pay much attention to it.
"Since the three of us have been ordered to come here to investigate the theft of the Vermilion Bird Stone, we should do our duty. And because of the good intentions of the young master, he arranged a feast to entertain us, and I felt ashamed of it, and I couldn't sleep at night.
So the three of us summed it up and started to investigate without stopping. β
Zhuge Zhengchen: "......"
Zhuge Zixin: "......"
"Since the Vermilion Bird Hall is the place where the Vermilion Bird Stone was stolen, it is naturally the first place for us to carry out our investigation. So ......"
"Wait, I haven't mentioned the Vermilion Bird Hall to you, how did you know?"
Zhuge Zhengchen asked with a gleam in his eyes.
"I told Sha Xiaoyou. Since he had come to investigate the case, these serious matters had to be told to him. β
Zhuge Zixin bit the word "must" very hard, as if he was satirizing Zhuge Zhengchen for being too lazy about the Vermilion Bird Stone.
"On a whim of the younger generation, I didn't have time to report to the young family master, and I asked Haihan. Sha Li clenched his fist slightly to Zhuge Zhengchen, but the latter was noncommittal.
"When the three of us came to the Suzaku Hall, we saw this altar. They all thought that since the Vermilion Bird Stone was lost at the altar, something might be found on it, so they climbed the altar. β
"Haha! Ridiculous! Sha Xiaoyou, I salute you as the island guard of Silver Beach, but you can't talk nonsense like that. β
Zhuge Zhengchen looked amused by the big joke. Not only him, but except for Zhuge Zixin and Luo Hongshao, the Zhuge family members present were making fun of them more or less.
"Why did the young family master say this?"
"Do you know that there is a 'Chiyuan Yang Blood Array' laid by the distant ancestor Zhuge Li around this altar, except for the people of my Zhuge family who are not prohibited, if people from other clans do not have cultivation above the peak of the Spirit Yuan Realm, they will not be able to enter at all. β
Zhuge Zhengchen touched the stubby mustache on his chin, and said with some pride: "Don't say that you can enter, even if you are close, you can't do it." Although Sha Xiaoyou's talent is amazing, he has not yet broken into the spirit element. Tell me, how did you get in? Could it be that you still have the ability to open an opening in this big array?"
Unexpectedly, Sha Li's eyes lit up, as if he was a little proud: "The young master is really smart. You're right, we did make an opening for this 'Red Yuan Yang Blood Array'. But it's not me, it's Xiao Dan next to me. β
"Xiao Dan Xiaoyou?" Zhuge Zhengchen moved his gaze to Xiao Dan, who was sleeping, and suddenly remembered a rumor.
"Not bad. Xiao Dan has the power of space, which is a rare talent. The Zhuge family's 'Chiyuan Yang Blood Array' is indeed extraordinary, and with Xiao Dan's ability, it only opens a small opening. β
Zhuge Zhengchen didn't seem to hear Sha Li faintly fighting back at what he said before, but like everyone in the Zhuge family, he suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Dan's spatial talent had already been shown in front of everyone at the top of the firmament, and most of the Zhuge family members present at the moment had also heard this rumor from various channels.
It is precisely because of this that they are deeply surprised and deeply worried about Xiao Dan, the ability to defy the sky that has been confirmed by Sha Li himself.
"As soon as the three of us entered the formation, we naturally ascended to the altar. Sha Li glanced at Zhuge Zhengchen with a playful look, "Young family master, guess what we found?"
"There's only an empty stone platform on the altar, what can you find?"
Although he asked so, looking at Sha Li's aura, Zhuge Zhengchen didn't know why, and he chuckled inexplicably in his heart.
"Vermilion Stone. β
Sha Li just gently and slowly spit out these words, but it caused an uproar in the audience.
"Vermilion Stone, how is it possible?"
"What is this kid talking about?"
"Still, how do I see him looking like he's in trouble. β
Different from everyone's surprised and questioning expressions, when Zhuge Zhengchen heard these words, his expression was, shocked!
He first glanced at Luo Hongshao without leaving a trace, and after receiving the latter's gentle nod in reply, his face turned blue for a moment.
"Sha Xiaoyou, you can't take medicine indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. The theft of the Vermilion Bird Stone is well known, and we have inspected the altar many times, but we almost didn't smash it, and we have not found the slightest trace of the Vermilion Stone.
You don't have to talk about it!"
Although Zhuge Zixin said what everyone wanted, whether she also thought so, Sha Li was very skeptical.
In fact, at the moment when the black-robed man appeared in the Vermilion Bird Palace, Sha Li already felt that the aura on his body was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
And just now, it seemed that at the same moment when Zhuge Zixin entered the temple gate, the black-robed man disappeared.
Only then did Sha Li remember that the aura on the black-robed man's body was extremely similar to the strange aura he sensed in Zhuge Zixin's boudoir tonight.
If it was really him, judging from the timing of the appearance of the black-robed man, he had obviously been peeking outside the hall for a long time. I think that I have already revealed the situation in the palace through "Hongyin" and Zhuge Zixin, who came to the palace.
The corners of Sha Li's mouth raised slightly, and he glanced deeply at Zhuge Zixin, and took out the red spar from Cunyu, which appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Vermilion Stone?"
"Really?"
"It's not wrong, the Vermilion Bird True Yuan on my body has an affinity for that spar, and it is indeed a real Vermilion Bird Stone. β
"But how is this possible? Vermilion Bird Stone is obviously ......"
Sha Li locked his attention on Zhuge Zhengchen and Zhuge Zixin, the two sisters and brothers who looked like each other, wanting to find out how the two of them reacted after seeing the Vermilion Bird Stone.
Zhuge Zhengchen first stared at the Vermilion Bird Stone carefully, and then closed his eyes heavily.
And Zhuge Zixin stared at the Vermilion Bird Stone, a trace of heat and excitement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared.
"Sha Xiaoyou, we have investigated this altar many times before, and it is true that we have not found Vermilion Bird Stone. Why did you find it?"
Zhuge Zixin and the others naturally did not suspect that it was Sha Li who stole the Vermilion Bird Stone, and then used it to send it back. After all, no one would be so naΓ―ve.
"The Zhuge family has been heirlooming in formations for generations, and you must have heard of the 'Mirage Twin Array'. β
Hearing this formation, everyone in the Zhuge family looked at each other.
How could they not have heard of it? Because the one who initiated this formation was one of the distant ancestors of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Phantom Me.
However, this formation is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the talent of the mage is extremely demanding. In today's Zhuge family, there are only a few people who can use this formation.
Among them, there are Zhuge Zixin and Zhuge Zhengchen who are in the palace.
"Sha Xiaoyou, are you saying that this Vermilion Bird Stone was actually hidden in place by someone with the 'Mirage Twin Array', so it has not been discovered?"
Zhuge Zixin asked after glancing at the altar.
"Not bad!"
Sha Li looked at Luo Hongshao's position, "And the three of us finally broke through the phantom array with great effort, and after taking out the Vermilion Bird Stone, we originally planned to take it away and hand it over to the young family master." I never thought that I would meet her. β
"She suddenly attacked us and wanted to take the Vermilion Stone. β
