Chapter 619: Windfall
Yes, the wolf on the snowy mountain, and it is very likely that it is the cheap father of the stupid dog of Atu, a terrifying ancient divine beast with a huge body like a hill, who once entrusted Lu Chen to pass a message to a guy named Iron Kettle for him after returning to Middle-earth.
Of course, there are not many people in the world who call the iron kettle, as long as they are not fools and brain-dead, they probably know a word called "avoidance", similar situations are like the death of the bald head after the fame of the world, it is impossible to appear many children named "Tianlan", on the contrary, if someone has the word "Tianlan" in his name, in order to avoid trouble, many times it is necessary to change the name.
With the same name as a high-powered and unattainable God True Monarch, it may be fine, but it may cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Lu Chen almost didn't need too much careful investigation to be able to determine that the person that the Heavenly Wolf was going to convey must be the Iron Kettle True Monarch among the six great gods of the True Immortal Alliance, in addition to the above reasons, there was actually another very simple reason, that is, the Heavenly Wolf was a terrifying and terrifying ancient beast, and what a dangerous Jedi danger was in the Great Snow Mountain, where could ordinary people approach?
Thinking about it, the only possible candidate left is the iron kettle Zhenjun.
After returning to Middle-earth from the Great Snow Mountain, a short period of time had passed, including Lu Chen's arrival in the Immortal City where the main hall of the True Immortal League was located. During this period, he had also seen the Iron Kettle True Monarch several times, but almost always on occasions where there were many outsiders present, and most of the time Tianlan True Monarch was also present.
As the only descendant of Tianlan True Monarch, Lu Chen is rapidly integrating into the system of the Floating Cloud Division, and gradually becoming the kind of person who holds power in the True Immortal Alliance. At the same time, of course, he could also feel the undercurrent surging between the two of them, Tianlan Zhenjun and Iron Kettle Zhenjun, including the two halls of Fuyun Division and Tianlu Hall.
In this case, of course, Lu Chen was reluctant to make any moves that made Tianlan Zhenjun likely to misunderstand, such as running to meet with Iron Kettle Zhenjun alone for some reason, saying a few words that no one knew, etc., maybe Tianlan Zhenjun would not necessarily suspect him, but this was purely to find himself unhappy.
Therefore, Lu Chen originally wanted to suppress this matter for a while, and when the battle between the two bigwigs calmed down a little, everyone was calm and less sensitive to the conflict, and he would find another opportunity to go over and spread the word. Anyway, the Sky Wolf's goods are far away in the Great Snow Mountain, and it seems that there is no time limit when they are separated, so it shouldn't matter if it drags on for a while.
Listening to Lu Chen's words and explanations, Tianlan Zhenjun's expression gradually calmed down, and he looked at him thoughtfully, but after a while, he didn't see any angry or strange eyes, just looked at Lu Chen with interest, and said, "It's nothing, I'm approved, you go to the iron kettle and say." But ......"
He shook his head and asked with some curiosity, "I'm a little strange, your original idea is not wrong, it's okay to talk about it later." Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
Lu Chen was silent for a while, and then said, "I thought about it for a while just now, and I have a feeling in my heart that you probably won't be any better." He sighed and said, "This matter is always the official promise of the wolf, although the thing is not a person, but only more terrible than a person, I thought about it, and simply finished this matter early, so as not to worry about it." ”
Tianlan Zhenjun looked at him for a long time, suddenly laughed, nodded and said, "It's good to finish early, okay, you can go find him." ”
Lu Chen said "um", nodded to Tianlan Zhenjun, and said hello before leaving.
However, when he had only taken two or three steps, Tianlan Zhenjun's voice suddenly came from behind him, saying, "By the way, Tianluo asked you to pass on something to the iron kettle Lao'er, can you say it?"
Lu Chen hesitated, his mind turned at that moment, it stands to reason that the content of other people's requests for transmission is naturally relatively private under normal circumstances, but when the Heavenly Wolf told him that day, he didn't seem to specifically state that he would keep this thing strictly secret. In addition, the dead bald head standing in front of him is obviously not an ordinary human existence.
So Lu Chen quickly recognized the situation, nodded and said, "It's not a big deal, you can say it." He paused for a moment, and then said, "The wolf told me to say to the iron kettle, 'The time has come to return the leaf that I borrowed from it.' ”
Tianlan Zhenjun raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, as if he didn't understand this sentence for a while, and said with a hint of surprise: "Yezi?" But only after a moment, suddenly his face changed, but his eyes were full of light, and he took a step forward suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, one of the leaves in the four artifacts of the legend of the Demon Sect is on this Immortal City Tianlong Mountain, in the hands of the old man of the iron kettle?"
At the end of this sentence, his expression was already a little stern and solemn, as if this matter seemed unexpectedly important to him.
※※※
Lu Chen obviously didn't expect Tianlan Zhenjun to have such a big reaction after hearing this, and he was a little stunned for a while, stunned on the spot.
However, although his face looked a little deadlocked, in the blink of an eye, his mind was already spinning like a whirlwind, and he thought about it again from beginning to end in an instant.
In fact, when he first heard the words that the Heavenly Wolf had explained to him, Lu Chen had also guessed in his heart that the "leaf" that the Heavenly Wolf was talking about was very likely to be one of the four fragments of the Divine Tree handed down from the legendary Demon Sect. Because whether it is a wolf or an iron kettle, the status level of these two people is too high, except for the legendary divine tree leaves, he can't think of any "leaves" in the world that are worthy of these two guys to discuss debt collection.
Of course, as for why the leaves of the Demon Sect were in the hands of the Heavenly Wolf, and the Iron Kettle True Monarch, who was the True Immortal Alliance of the Righteous Path and the mortal enemy of the Demon Sect, would actually borrow this leaf, it was an extremely complicated and inexplicable account, and there was a big secret in it.
But now for Lu Chen, all of this is not important for the time being, what he has to face is Tianlan Zhenjun's questioning.
So after hesitating for a moment, Lu Chen decided to speak truthfully and said, "To be honest, I don't know, when the Heavenly Wolf told me, he didn't explicitly say that it was the leaf of the Demon Sect's Divine Tree, but I guess it's very possible. He glanced at Tianlan Zhenjun, his heart moved, and then he added, "Actually, it's also because I have this suspicion, so before I went to find the iron kettle Zhenjun, I thought about it, and decided to talk to you first to see what you think......
Tianlan Zhenjun stared at Lu Chen, nodded slowly after a while, a hint of relief appeared on his face, and then his eyes were deep and he looked into the distance. Lu Chen looked over and found that it was the direction of the Heavenly Law Hall.
After a while, I only heard Tianlan Zhenjun say lightly: "You still go as usual, say this to the old man of the iron kettle, and only say that this matter is to keep it a secret from the heavenly wolf, and did not tell me, and see how he reacts." ”
After speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, slightly cold.
