Chapter 513: The Last Three
"To be honest, sometimes I really envy you!" Xie Lingyun leaned against a tree on the side of the road, clasped his hands, and looked at Xingchen with a strange look, "I feel like you are like a protagonist, your talent is so good, your strength is still so strong, and you are so popular, although I don't want this, I still envy it." Compared to you, I feel like an ordinary mortal, neither the determination to make the Heavenly Oath, nor the courage to hold those three on the bed at the same time...... Oh, speaking of which, I didn't think you were so good before, but now I think you're amazing! ”
The corners of Xingchen's mouth twitched a few times, "Wait, what's going on with that weird pause of yours?" Is that why you admire me? ”
"Of course!" Xie Lingyun showed a surprised expression, "Besides, do you think there is anything else on you that is worthy of my admiration?" No kidding, other than that, I'm just envious at best, and I can't admire it! ”
Xingchen suddenly didn't want to talk to this person, fortunately, there were no people around here, and the earth was still small, so he couldn't understand what Xie Lingyun said, Chi Xiaosan was still in a coma, and he didn't hear what Xie Lingyun said just now, otherwise he would really break off his friendship with Xie Lingyun, he had never seen such a brazen person in his life, even if he added his previous life.
“…… Alright, let's get down to business! After Xingchen said this, Xie Lingyun also put away his joke, "There is only one city around here, and the group of soldiers we saw at that time should have come out of that city, although this place is remote, but when it comes to the slaughter of the village, no matter what it is, the government should send someone to check what is going on." And so it is! I was a little suspicious that something might have happened to that group of soldiers now, after all, judging from the situation at the time, their mental state was a little wrong. Touching the transcendent as a mortal, and the kind that can affect the spirit...... Maybe they've all gone crazy and even died because they couldn't bear the pressure! Although I don't know if the soldiers encountered it later were the same people as the one who slaughtered the village before, but what happened here has already shown that some ghosts and ghosts have come out, so naturally we can't sit still, not to mention that I also made a heavenly oath for this, and I must solve them all! ”
"There are no clues now, the only starting point is the group of soldiers, and we have no other clues other than them. Regardless of whether they are all the way or not, after checking first, since the thing that came later will appear near that village, then it means that he or they must have nothing to do with what happened in that village. Speaking of this, Xie Lingyun's face showed a hint of fierceness. Although he had been very calm when investigating the affairs of that village before, this did not mean that he was not angry, on the contrary, his anger was not much compared to Chi Xiaosan, it was just that Chi Xiaosan had exploded, and his anger was hidden in the bottom of his heart, and he had to find a suitable time to explode. And that time, for Xie Lingyun, was the time to find that group of people.
"It was a mess, and although I don't know how much time had passed, the people must have been terrified of it, and if the government couldn't solve it, I'm afraid it would break its promise. Losing one's trust may not be a big deal for the government in peacetime, but it is still in a time of war, and it is just because many people have awakened their blood, so all forces have stopped and rectified. As long as the period of rectification has passed, they will start the war again, and because many of them have awakened their bloodlines and have more powerful combat power, the war after that will definitely be much more cruel than the previous war. As long as the people in the government are not fools, then they know what to do! It's really good to clear out the bandits to deceive the people, and it's also a thing that everyone likes to see that group of bandits take the blame, but because of the talented bloodline, they are already in a hurry, and it is impossible to have extra energy to clean up the bandits, this road will not work! So they will inevitably choose to solve this problem from another aspect! ”
Xingchen paused, and then continued to analyze: "You and I both know the situation in Canghuo Prefecture, and those crazy people dare to turn away even Heavenly Court and Lingshan, so in this state, there are very few Taoist priests and monks, and there are always a few monks who will come to this troublesome Canghuo Prefecture across the heavens. If they put up a bounty, there will probably be many scammers who dare to cheat a sum of money, but scammers are always liars, and the two of us are real monks, with means that they can't match. When the time comes, as long as we show our hands in front of them, they will probably believe us, and this mess will be thrown directly to us. Even if we can't solve it in the end, as long as they shirk their responsibilities, at least they won't lose their trust to the people, after all, most of the people in this era are stupid, and in order to consolidate the rule, there are very few people who can distinguish between right and wrong and will not hesitate to offend the government to speak for the people. And we won't be able to solve it, we've solved a problem for this neighborhood before, but they don't know, and the people don't know either. In this world, no one will be idle to go to that village to find out what is going on, to see what is the case, as long as the government says that it is solved, they have always fooled those ordinary people like this! In addition, the public opinion of this world is very easy to guide, even if something happens at that time, they can push things away, so as long as we act according to the plan, we can meet that group of soldiers! ”
As Xingchen said, the officials of the local government were naturally very enthusiastic about the arrival of the two of them, especially after Xie Lingyun 'showed his hands' in front of them, they were even more enthusiastic.
Although there are already many talented bloodline people who have appeared, the power they use is very simple, not Xie Lingyun's 'immortal method'...... What's more, in order to let them issue permission as soon as possible, Xie Lingyun also specially sent a few 'elixirs', and the phrase he used was 'visit to the door, send a small gift!' ’。 Although they can't live forever, they can keep them safe from illness and prolong their lives, which is also in line with what he said about 'small gifts', if you give something very valuable, although the group of officials will be very greedy for it, but at the same time, they will also have a wariness in their hearts.
I just wanted to ask what the soldiers saw and met at that time, but they gave such a big gift, then there must be a calculation behind it, maybe the people or things that the soldiers encountered at that time may be much more precious than that 'big gift'.
If this is the case, they will definitely report to the imperial court, and they will never be able to eat the precious things alone, so it is better to report to the imperial court to seek glory and wealth for themselves and their descendants. After all, they were just a group of local officials who hadn't seen many monks or many people in the world, and they didn't think they would know how powerful Xie Lingyun and Xingchen were.
To sum up, the 'small gift' given by Xie Lingyun is the most suitable, although it will also make them a little curious about what Xie Lingyun wants, but for people like them who are best at intrigue, if Xie Lingyun really has no plans, I'm afraid they will really be restless.
Xie Lingyun gave them a 'small gift', this 'small gift' is neither light nor heavy, just right, more will make them suspicious, less will make them delay, although the heavenly oath made by Xingchen has no time limit, but the sooner it is resolved, the better it will be for them. They weren't suitable for staying in this place for too long, after all, there were no opponents here, and if they relaxed for a long time, their fighting skills would be much rustier, which was not what they were expecting. So, the sooner you fix it, the better!
Finally, with the welcome of the officials, they came to the door of one of the soldiers who had gone to the village in the first place, and for mental reasons, he, or perhaps they were no longer fit to be soldiers, so they returned home...... This is one of the last three left.
